Tell Lu-don that I have
sent thirty warriors to search for her. It is strange you did not
see them as you came."
"We did," replied the priests, "but they told us nothing of the
purpose of their journey."
"It is as I have told you," said Mo-sar, "and if they find her,
assure your master that she will be kept unharmed in Tu-lur for
him. Also tell him that I will send my warriors to join with his
against Ja-don whenever he sends word that he wants them. Now go,
for Tarzan-jad-guru will soon be here."
He signaled to a slave. "Lead the priests to the temple," he
commanded, "and ask the high priest of Tu-lur to see that they are
fed and permitted to return to A-lur when they will."
The two priests were conducted from the apartment by the slave
through a doorway other than that at which they had entered, and
a moment later Tarzan-jad-guru strode into the presence of Mo-sar,
ahead of the warrior whose duty it had been to conduct and announce
him. The ape-man made no sign of greeting or of peace but strode
directly toward the chief who, only by the exertion of his utmost
powers of will, hid the terror that was in his heart at sight of
the giant figure and the scowling face.
"I am the Dor-ul-Otho," said the ape-man in level tones that carried
to the mind of Mo-sar a suggestion of cold steel; "I am Dor-ul-Otho,
and I come to Tu-lur for the woman you stole from the apartments
of O-lo-a, the princess.
