My wife was on the show, and my country's nationalist status was exposed

Chapter 160
"Old mage, I'm sorry, I can't return the rune fragments to you yet."

Gao An drank another bowl of wine and was silent for a long time before speaking.

"Why?" Tang Ming's eyes narrowed and his face became serious.

"Old mage, listen to me." Seeing the change in Tang Ming's expression, Gao An quickly explained, "I know, this thing is very important to you, but it is even more important to me."

"The rune fragments allowed me to heal the diseases of the people in the tribe and restore their injuries."

"Relying on the power of the rune, I also deterred the blood wolf. I am no longer afraid of the attack of the blood wolf, and no one will die."

"If we want to live a better life, we need runes. I hope you can keep the runes."

Gao An had a pleading look on his face.

"Old friend, we agreed, you have experienced that kind of power, you should know that it is beyond your control."

"After a long time, it is very likely that your mind will be eroded and become a monster who only knows bloodthirsty and killing."

Tang Ming naturally would not agree.

"Old mage, I want to think about my tribe, can I please?"

Gao An's eyes were red.

He wanted to leave the rune shards behind, not for himself, but for the entire tribe.

Tang Ming fell silent.

He naturally knew Gao An's thoughts, the tribe was everything to Gao An.

It's just that Tang Ming has a bigger goal and has been practicing it.

He collected rune fragments to reduce disputes in Runeterra.

If Gao An has been holding rune fragments, it is inevitable that the secret of the rune will be exposed.

At that time, there will inevitably be people who covet the rune fragments, and there will be disputes among Gao'an's tribes.

Maybe, people from other tribes will invade Gao'an's tribe and snatch rune fragments.

No matter what happens, it will not be a good thing for the Gao'an tribe.

"Gao An, how many people are there in your tribe?"

After a long silence, Tang Ming asked.

"One hundred and five."

Gao An was taken aback, he didn't know why Tang Ming asked this question, so he could only answer honestly.

"How many people are there in Runeterra?" Tang Ming asked again.

"100 billion." Gao An's voice was a little low.

He knew that Tang Ming was looking for rune fragments for Rune Continent.

He understood Tang Ming's meaning. Tang Ming's question showed that there was no room for slowing things down.

Tang Ming's meaning was obvious. It was impossible for Tang Ming to ignore the safety of tens of billions of people in Rune Continent for the sake of the [-] people of the Gao'an tribe.

"Old friend, you are coveting the power of rune fragments."

"This is not a good thing. If you continue to hold rune fragments, sooner or later your mind will be eroded by them."

Tang Ming persuaded again.

"Tang Ming, you always say that you are looking for rune fragments for Rune Continent."

"Who knows if what you said is true or not, and who knows that you are not coveting the power of rune fragments."

Gao An was excited.

In order to leave the rune fragments behind, he didn't mind turning against Tang Ming.

Without rune shards, the Horde is once again in danger.

Gao An really didn't want to see the people in the tribe living their previous life again.

"Old friend, are we really going to go this far?" Tang Ming sighed.

"Tang Ming, I don't want to either. As long as you don't take away the rune fragments, you can say anything. I still regard you as my best friend." Gao An controlled his emotions.

"Impossible." Tang Ming shook his head.

He knew that the tribe was everything to Gao An.

However, he has to consider the entire Runeterra.

As long as there is a rune fragment that is not collected, it is not just as simple as putting a certain place in danger.

For thousands of years, he has been studying rune fragments, and he dare not say that he has fully understood the energy of rune fragments.

However, the big bang 1000 years ago still left him with lingering fears.

This is the stuff that can destroy the world.

If Gao An continued to keep the rune fragments, a slight negligence might endanger hundreds of millions of lives in a radius of tens of millions of square kilometers.

Seeing this scene, the audience felt a little heavy.

The contradictions between the two parties have been irreconcilable.

The focus of the two is different.

For Gao An, the tribe is everything to him.

For Tang Ming, Runeterra was what he considered.

However, Gao An saved Tang Ming and helped Tang Ming seal the space channel.

Perhaps in Gao An's view, Tang Ming didn't want to leave the rune fragments to him, which seemed a bit cold.

"How did two good friends come to this point?"

"Perhaps it was a mistake when Tang Ming gave the rune fragments to Gao An."

"That's right, the power of rune fragments is too tempting. To be honest, if it were me, I wouldn't want to return it."

"Can the two of you discuss it and find a way that won't affect their relationship? I really don't want to see them turn against each other."

"This is an irreconcilable contradiction that cannot be negotiated."

The audience was talking.

A look of sadness appeared in Tang Ming's eyes.

He has lived for thousands of years and has made several friends like Gao An.

The other friends are all old and dead.

Gao An was his only friend, he really didn't want to turn against Tang Ming.

It's just that he has to get back the rune fragments.

The rune fragments are in Gao An's hands, the consequences are too serious.

"Gao An, I know you have to think about your tribe."

"You and your tribe can move to another place, where there is no snow, no blood wolf."

"During this process, there may be dangers. I am willing to escort you and ensure your safety."

Tang Ming tried to solve Gao An's problem, so that Gao An would be willing to return the rune fragments without affecting the relationship between the two.

"We will not leave. Although the environment here is harsh, this is our hometown."

"Our ancestors all lived here, their bones are all under this land, we will not abandon them."

"This is our home, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we will not leave."

Gao An's attitude is very firm.

This is their homeland, and it is impossible to leave.

Don't say that he is unwilling, even if he is willing, others are not willing.

"Old friend, I must take the rune fragments."

Tang Ming stood up and stared at Gao An closely.

"No, I won't let you take it!"

Gao An then stood up and took out the rune fragments from his pocket.

The fragments immediately shone with light, and this light overflowed outside, melting the snow outside.

Outside the house, several villagers looked at the light, trembling with fear.

The overflowing light made them feel the breath of death.

"Gao An, you actually activated the energy of the runes, are you crazy?!"

Tang Ming was taken aback.

When he gave the rune fragments to Gao An, he just taught Gao An a simple way to activate them.

That's just using the simple power of the runes, and you can't really control the rune fragments.

Now, Gao An used other methods to activate the energy of the runes.

This has the potential to cause a massive explosion of rune shards.

Gao An did not speak, but stared at Tang Ming closely.

He is going to fight for the whole tribe and has lost his mind.

He knew that he was no match for Tang Ming.

Tang Ming is an extraordinary mentor who has lived for thousands of years and has been studying rune fragments, which is not something an ordinary person like him can resist.

However, for the sake of the entire tribe, Gao An didn't mind going all out.
