Chapter Fifty-Six: Acceptance
Regner's voice had a bit of vindictiveness, so it sounded unusually loud and strong. Therefore, even if the environment was noisy at this time, all the barbarians were stunned for a moment because of this shout.
"What's the matter with you?" asked Rego, looking at Regner, who was running over angrily.
"Are you embarrassed?!" Regner pointed to the barbarian women who were at a loss at the door, ignoring the pointing of the barbarians around him, and then said to Rego in lingua franca, "What do you mean by that?!"
"It's not interesting. Rego replied lightly: "This is the rule of the clan, and I am enforcing the rules." ”
"Hell rule!" Regner scolded, he looked up at Rego and said angrily, "Look at them! a woman who has no power to tie a chicken! a child who can just walk, and you really can't bear to leave them alone?"
"Oh, it's been almost a year since that kid could walk, so he can't just walk. Rego replied indifferently.
"Who's going to care about this?!" Regner's eyes widened, "I'm asking why you're expelling them?"
"The weak can't survive on the snowy plateau. Rego repeats his previous words: "They are weak, so they cannot stay in the big tribe." ”
"Weak?" Regner sneered, he glanced at Rego, and then asked sarcastically: "So your Uncle Rego was born to be strong? Your Uncle Rego was just born a middle-level warrior? You are really very capable! Haven't you ever been young? Haven't you ever been weak?
"No, he's different. Rego shook his head: "This kid is too weak, as I said before, he is four years old, but he can walk for less than a year. Even judging him by the standards of your human constitution is outrageously poor, so there is no way for him to survive here. ”
"That's why you abandoned him?" Regner stared at Rego, then glanced at all the barbarians present with disdain, and then said coldly: "I have long heard that you barbarians respect the strong, but I never expected that your respect for the strong is based on spitting on the weak. ”
"Really?" replied Rego, still not too angry.
"That's not strong at all!" Regner continued, "Only the weak will bully the weak, and the truly strong will never do that!"
"Say whatever you want. Rego shrugged his shoulders like a human: "Actually, we don't care how powerful we are, what we care about is whether this strength is enough for us to live in this ice and snow plateau, this is the most important thing." ”
"Can anything be thrown away in order to survive?" Regner asked in a low voice.
"......" Rego was unexpectedly silent for a moment on this question, and after a minute, he nodded and said, "At least, on this ice and snow plateau, survival is more important than everything. If you grew up in this world, you probably understand. ”
"Don't think of me as if I was a big pot in a honey pot!" Regna retorted: "Maybe I don't understand how you live here, but I don't always live a life of clothes and food! I used to be an orphan, I used to have nothing, but at least I understand that some things are more important than the so-called 'survival' in your mouth! Without those things, your so-called 'survival' is actually no different from the walking dead! So, in my opinion, you brutes are nothing more than a bunch of rotten meat that can move!"
"......" Rego's eyes finally flashed with anger. Regner was ready to fight the Barbarian King here, but to his surprise, Rego unexpectedly controlled his emotions. The Barbarian King looked at Regner with a calm gaze for a few seconds, and then spoke, "Well said. ”
"Huh?" Regner was stunned, he didn't understand what medicine was sold in Rego's gourd.
"But no matter how well you speak, you can't break our traditions, they. Rego pointed to the women and children who were shivering slightly in the cold wind and continued, "They must leave, because no one wants to feed them." ”
"You!" Regner's lungs were about to explode.
But Rego only glanced at him lightly, then looked up at the women and children and said, "*&......#%¥*&......#¥"
Although he didn't understand Dothraki, Regner guessed that what the barbarian king said was probably driving them away.
There was no disappointment in the woman's eyes, as if she had known the outcome of the affair. But even so, she bowed to Regner and said softly, "Thank you." Then he turned and left.
Regner watched the backs of the women and children staggering through the snow, and for some reason he just felt distracted. He gritted his teeth and shouted again in lingua franca, "Wait!"
"What? is there anything else you have to do?" Rego frowned a little impatiently, he had already tolerated Regner a lot in the past few days, if it weren't for the fact that the two of them had fought (in the eyes of the barbarians, the people who had fought could be regarded as friends), plus he was the representative of the Hawke Empire's mission, he would have just gone up and cut down this nosy "little bit" and then fed the bear.
Regner paused, then asked Rego, "I remember you said that as long as someone takes them in, they don't have to leave, right?"
"It's true for women, but not for children. Rego shook his head.
"Why?" Regner was puzzled.
"Because he's too weak. Rego replied, "Even if he grows up, he will not be able to become a qualified warrior, and the men of the barbarians cannot contribute their worth by doing household chores in the tribe like the women of the barbarians." Therefore, he can only be a waste in the future, and the big tribe does not allow any of the tribesmen to adopt waste, even if someone wants to adopt him, because it can only be a waste of food. ”
"That's it?"
"Yes. ”
"Hmph, that's easy!" Regner snorted coldly, "Since you barbarians don't want to, how about we humans take it in?
"You humans?" Rego was surprised, "You want to take them in?"
"What's not to do?" Regner asked rhetorically, "Anyway, it's all adoption, I don't rely on you for food or clothing, and we humans can afford their food, isn't that okay?"
"There doesn't seem to be a precedent for that in the community. Rego frowned.
"Then what's the point of you setting this precedent?" Regner said without hesitation: "Since you don't take them in, then there is no loss to you barbarians to be taken in by us humans?" On the other hand, you can think of them as if they were abandoned by you, and we humans just happened to meet them and saved them. What does this have to do with you? If so, I don't think you have the right to interfere, do you?"
"This ......" Rego hesitated for a moment, and from a personal point of view, he was still very happy if someone adopted these two people. But he feared that this would set a precedent for the race, and that in the future, if all the barbarians lost their homes, they would turn to the humans...... I'm afraid this kind of thing isn't very good, right?
"I don't bother to pay attention to you!" Regner also ignored Rego, who was still thinking there, he walked over directly, and then stretched out his hand: "Come with me, I will let you live." ”
The woman hesitated, she looked down at the eyes of the barbarian child beside her, they were those with innocence and ignorance, and he did not seem to understand that his life and death would be decided at this moment.
"Either way, the child is innocent. The woman said this to herself, and then she reached out and took Regner's hand.
"This is the end of the matter!" Regner finally smiled with satisfaction when he saw that the woman had accepted his kindness.
"There are no more spare rooms in the big tribe for them to live in. Rego reminded that it seemed that he had acquiesced in Regner's approach.
"What? this woman still has a house here, right?" Regner was stunned.
"Since there are no more warriors in her family, her home will naturally be confiscated. Rego replied lightly: "That room has already been used by us to reward the young man who has just grown up independently, and he may marry his wife and have children in a few months." ”
"......" Regner only felt that it was a bit troublesome to communicate with this group of barbarians. He gritted his teeth and said, "Since you ...... In that case, let them and Uncle Alex ......"
"Hey, stinky boy, this is your own business, don't expect me to wipe your ass!" Alex shouted from out of nowhere before Regnar could finish.
"That ......" Regner hesitated for a moment, he swept through the other members of the mission, only to find that these guys were all dodgy, and they didn't seem to want the two to live with them.
"They're not flood beasts, and they can scare you like this?!" Regner couldn't help but jump up and shouted at his men.
"Oh, it's still the same sentence, whoever takes it down, who wipes his ass himself. Alex looked up at his mouth and muttered.
"......" Regner nodded fiercely at last, "Okay! Then let them stay with me!"
Now that this last thing had been agreed, Rego told the other barbarians the final result in Dothraki. Some of the barbarians praised Regner's approach, but most of them expressed disdain, believing that such sympathy and pity were ridiculous and unnecessary.
Regner, who was the party concerned, didn't bother to argue with them, he sneered a few times at the barbarians around him who despised him, and then prepared to leave.
"Hey, Regner. Rego suddenly called out to Regner as he passed him.
"What?" Regner turned his head, and Rego's eyes were looking crookedly at the rocks around him, but Ragner knew he was actually looking at himself.
"Thank you. Rego said this for no reason, and then left without saying a word.
