Volume 1 Despair and Dawn Chapter 25 Ace
After listening to Erin's words, Zhao Xi looked at the turquoise statue in front of him, and was shocked for a while and didn't know what to say.
"Is the name of this world so high?, or is the strength of this dragon in the tribe similar to that of the two gods?" Zhao Xi muttered to himself.
"What's wrong, Mr. Donne?" asked Erin, seeing that the people around her were silent again.
"Is Lord Eoros's strength similar to that of a god?" Zhao Xi asked tentatively.
"According to the tribal texts, Lord Eoros is a dragon formed by the world's first wind, wielding the authority of the wind, and is the king of all colored dragons, with powers comparable to those of gods. Erin recalled.
"How could such a powerful dragon ......," Zhao Xi continued to ask.
"I'm also curious about why such a powerful dragon would favor our tribe. Irene said, "But I heard from my grandfather that our tribe used to have more than 100,000 people, and it was one of the top tribes, but then because Lord Eoros fell asleep, it slowly declined, and we also hid from the enemy and hid here." “
"But even if Lord Eoros is asleep, unconscious whispering is a great gain for us now, as the oldest being, even whispering is knowledge to us. Erin grinned and said, "Even Grandpa's ability to make potions was given to him by Lord Eoros." “
Zhao Xi nodded, indicating that he understood, no wonder Taylor made this precious potion so easily, the backer is hard enough, although this backer is asleep, but it is much stronger than the helpless himself.
"But it seems that the titles of the powerful beings in this world are very long, and their specific power can also be seen from the titles, simple and clear, I don't know what titles I will have after I am strong, such as the sword god who cuts everything?"
"No, no, it's too second. Zhao Xi patted his head, stopped his cranky thoughts, and continued to walk forward with Erin beside him.
Along the way, Erin introduced Zhao Xi to the customs of the village, as well as the crops planted, and also introduced all the kobold people he saw along the way, and the huge amount of information filled Zhao Xi's head to death, and for a while Zhao Xi could only nod and smile, indicating that he knew.
But the honey barbecue eaten at noon is really good, the sweet honey with the barbecue is perfect, but there are some chili peppers, Zhao Xi also asked if there is a spicy seasoning, but what he got was something similar to the taste of mustard, this kind of thing with barbecue is simply heretical, Zhao Xi had to give up.
Zhao Xi ate two large pieces in a row, but he couldn't hold it up, so he declined Erin's request to continue to take her to visit the village in the afternoon, and asked her to take her to her residence tonight.
At first, Zhao Xi was worried that Vic's house would be very dirty and messy, but when he arrived at the place, he found that Vic even had children, and his wife was still a rare beauty in the clan.
After all, according to Zhao Xi's current understanding, powerful people can live better in this world, Zhao Xi has not spent a gold coin until now, looking at Dorothy and Old John's appearance, it is estimated that there is still a lot left, and he earned dozens of gold coins in one day yesterday, which is undoubtedly a huge amount of money.
In a relatively primitive place like the tribe, the stronger the husband, the better the life of the family is estimated to be, and according to Vic's force value, it is also appropriate to have a beautiful wife and a well-behaved and sensible son.
Zhao Xi followed Vic's wife Susan to the guest room, and after lying on the bed for a while to digest and digest food, he remembered that there was still an agreement with Vic, jumped off the bed, came to the courtyard of Vic's house, and began to practice swordsmanship one move at a time.
Vic's son Ace was still very afraid of Zhao Xi at first, but seeing Zhao Xi practicing swordsmanship, the child came forward to watch it with relish after a while, Zhao Xi saw that Ace was very interested, so he gave him the other short sword around his waist and began to teach him swordsmanship, and at the same time to help himself get familiar with the skills given by the system.
Susan saw it and didn't stop it, and learned from her husband that the young man in front of her was a powerful knight, and it was also an opportunity for her son to learn something from him, after all, kobolds are mainly hunting, and if you learn a little more, you will be less in danger of prey in the future.
In the case of the two of them teaching and learning, time passed quickly, and to Zhao Xi's surprise, Ace, a ten-year-old child, had extraordinary perseverance, and thought that he would not be able to hold on for a while, but now he was sweating profusely and still gritted his teeth and did not give up.
This made Zhao Xi can't help but praise Ace in his heart, Zhao Xi doesn't think that he can do this at his age, he doesn't have the perseverance at his age.
At this time, Vic also came back, and saw that Zhao Xi was teaching his son swordsmanship, and he watched it with great interest, and did not come up to disturb the two.
After a while, after Zhao Xi explained all the actions completely, he patted Ace's shoulder and let him rest.
Vic then stepped forward and rubbed his son's head and said, "What your Uncle Don taught you, just practice it once a day and keep it in your memory, don't secretly increase the amount of practice, becoming a warrior is a matter of your adulthood." ”
Ace nodded obediently, wanting to return the short sword in his hand to Zhao Xi, but there was obviously a trace of reluctance in his eyes.
Although Zhao Xi was very sad about the fact that he suddenly became an uncle, he still noticed Ace's emotions and did not take the short sword in Ace's hand.
"It's my gift to little Ace. Zhao Xi said with a smile.
Ace's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he still looked at his father to the side, and asked his father's opinion, and when he saw his father nodding, he jumped up and down with his short sword to show off to his mother.
"This kid has loved this thing since he was a child, the tribe has always been quite short of iron, and there is no extra iron for him to make a short sword, and today he is causing trouble for the Donn brothers. Vic said with a smile.
"It's just a short sword, it's not an important thing. Zhao Xi shook his head and said.
"At first glance, the Don brothers are the young masters of the aristocratic family. Vic gave a thumbs up and said, "Today I beat a hundred-pound tusked pig, let it go, this thing is very delicious to roast." “
"But that set of swordsmanship just now should be your family's inheritance, isn't it not good to hand it over so easily. Vic suddenly remembered the scene just now and said.
"No, it's just a set of basic swordsmanship, Brother Vic, if you want to learn it, I can teach you it. Zhao Xi said.
"That's a good feeling, our tribe's spear technique has long been incomplete, I still use it now, I still figured it out myself, you have to teach me well after dinner tonight." Vic said, rubbing his hands.
"Is it because he was hunted down by the enemy?" Zhao Xi asked curiously.
"Did the shaman tell you?" Vic said as he walked, "That's true, I heard the old people say that the strong men of our tribe have sacrificed to protect the clansmen, and the classics of the clan have not been kept much on the way to escape, and the ancestral artifacts have been completely lost, and the inheritance is incomplete. “
"But it is estimated that because we were beaten so badly, the enemy seems to have lost interest in us, and we have lived a peaceful life for a hundred years. Vic said with a shrug.
After listening to what Vic said, Zhao Xi suddenly became interested in the enemy, you must know that the predecessor of this tribe was a large tribe of hundreds of thousands, and how powerful the enemy who can beat this tribe like this must be.
"Do you know the name of your enemy?" Zhao Xi asked.
"I don't know, only the shaman knows about it in the entire tribe. Vic scratched his head and said, "Listen to the old people, too many people know their names and bring disaster. ”
Zhao Xi couldn't help but gasp, and didn't even dare to say the name of this tribe, Zhao Xi thought it was comparable at first, but it was just a defeat, but listening to Vic's description, it seemed to be crushed.
"Don't talk about that. Vic took out a wooden sword from the warehouse-like house, and Zhao Xi realized that the two of them had arrived in the backyard of Vic's house while walking and talking.
"Come, come, teach me two tricks of your swordsmanship. Vic threw a wooden sword at Zhao Xi and said.
Zhao Xi took the long sword and looked at the impatient Vic, couldn't help but smile, and began to explain the basic swordsmanship to him.
......
Zhao Xi and Vic went to the small river next to the village to take a bath after practicing, and when they came back, they saw Susan waiting in front of the door with Ace, telling the two that the banquet was ready, and asked the two to hurry over, and the two didn't say much, and directly put down the wooden sword in their hands and followed Susan to the sacrificial square.
Different from the desertion of the day, the square at this time is already full of kobolds, at a glance it is estimated that there are as many as 100 people, and the empty square is set up with wooden tables, on which are placed colorful melons and fruits, as well as the staple food of kobolds, a crop that is also called potatoes but much larger.
The rest of the kobolds are putting the jar on the table, fiddling with the position of the table, and some are brushing layers of sauce for the whole tusked pig grilled in the middle fire.
The aroma of the barbecue went straight to Zhao Xi's nose, which made Zhao Xi, who had practiced swords all afternoon, scream in his stomach, but fortunately, the surroundings were noisy enough and not heard by others.
However, Taylor in front of the statue in the square attracted Zhao Xi's attention, unlike in the morning, Taylor at this time was not wearing an ordinary linen robe, but wearing a sacrificial dress sewn from an unknown animal skin, with an unknown tusk necklace around his neck, and a skull staff held in both hands, sitting in front of the statue with his eyes closed.
