Speaking of Granny Chas, the expression on Jim's face became unusually solemn, and Lird could see that Jim did not think about Granny Chass as a last resort, but when the facts are in front of you, the facts do not allow you to resist and quibble, which is the cruelty and ruthlessness of reality.

After Jim struggled for a moment, he finally said slowly: "After I showed my full support for you, many people's attitudes towards me have changed, you know. Last night when you entered the tent I waited outside the tent, and although the weather was very cool, no one allowed me to enter the tent and wait. ”

"After I had waited for a while, Granny Chas suddenly returned. She couldn't bear to see me stay outside the tent, and took me into the tent despite the guards' obstructions. ”

"I hadn't paid much attention to this Granny Chas before, what is her identity to make those guards make concessions?"

Jim said: "Granny Chas's identity is very special, although she is not a priest in the tribe, but she is very respected, even today's priests have to be polite to her, and her sister is the last two priests of our tribe, it can be said that she deserves people's respect regardless of her status or age." ”

At this time, Edward on the side smiled: "But this kind of person is often more and more dangerous in many cases, thinking that her mask makes it impossible for anyone to see her true face." ”

Although Edward's words were very mean, Jim was also speechless about them. He said in a low voice: "My parents died when I was still very young, although I received a lot of help at that time, but the person who helped me the most was Granny Chas, it can be said that without her help, I would not be where I am today, although I am just an ordinary ordinary person, but all this is inseparable from her selfless help." ”

Edward interjected on the side: "Well, sure enough, simple boys always have to be planted on the old woman's means, and women, whether they are eighteen or eighty years old, are very cunning. ”

Lird turned his head to glare at Edward, motioning for him to say less, then looked at Jim again.

Jim said: "At the same time, Granny Chas is also the one who raised the sacrifice today, so she is qualified to live in the sacrifice tent." ”

"I have unconditional trust in Granny Chas, and now it seems that this current one is too decisive, I don't believe that Granny Chases will be in cahoots with anyone in the clan, but the truth is..." Granny Chas invited me to sit in her tent, but I was afraid of you, so I refused, and Granny Chas was not too insistent, and then she handed me a leather bag of wine, saying that it would help me ward off the cold. I didn't think much of it at the time, so I took it away. ”

Speaking of which, both Lird and Edward understood what had happened next.

Jim said: "The time of waiting in the tent can be said to be very difficult, so it was also to ward off the cold and to relieve the boredom, I drank some wine in the leather bag, and soon after that, I felt an indescribable fatigue hit me, and although I resisted, I could not resist the sleepiness, and before I knew it, I fell asleep, and I was just a nap and a nap." ”

"I don't know how long it took me to wake up, and my first instinct was that it was broken! But soon I found myself in the same place where I had gone to bed, and that it was the only way out of the tent, and if you had gone you would have seen me and gone with me. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I thought of this. ”

Lird couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, he knew that he should have left the big tent under Qianrou's expulsion at that time, and it didn't matter what kind of bad relationship there was during this period. It is clear that the assassination he experienced last night was not accidental, and to a certain extent, it was designed early.

Thinking of this, Liard couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

Jim said, "But as time went on, my hunch told me that things seemed to have changed, and my gut told me that I hadn't slept properly just now, and that I probably missed something in the meantime." ”

"So I then broke into the tent of the sacrifice, and it was then that I learned that you had already left. ”

Jim's understatement surprised Lird.

"You've broken into Qianrou's account? My God, it's really... It's crazy..."

Jim shrugged his shoulders and said, "It doesn't matter, it's happened anyway, I don't regret the account break, and what makes me regret is that I should have made up my mind earlier." ”

Lird could only be silent about this, he understood that Jim's actions could be regarded as completely touching Qianrou's bottom line, and also touching the taboo of the Atlantean remnants.

Jim then said, "Although I am very angry about my account breaking, I am also surprised to hear that you have disappeared for no reason. At that time, we were expecting you to return to the dormitory alone, but you just happened to see me. But the reality was cruel, the dormitory was empty, and at that moment I was completely aware that something was wrong. ”

"Then there was a commotion, and she was also very angry about your disappearance, she knew that there were many secrets behind your disappearance, but no matter what kind of secret, it was a resistance and disrespect to her, which a leader could not accept. ”

Lird nodded, he understood that the assassination of himself was not only aimed at himself, but also a restraint on Qianrou's direction of action, because some people were very resistant to Qianrou to manipulate the [power] of the gods.

"After that, things became much simpler, the priest arranged for the people around him to search for your whereabouts without alarming others as much as possible, it can be said that almost all the warriors in the clan have been mobilized, and the tribe has also entered a state of high alert. ”

After that, Jim paused and then continued, "The Priest didn't pursue my actions too much, and he also arranged for me to help me find you. But after what happened to Granny Chas, I found it hard to trust the others, so I went it alone. I have a very bad feeling in my mind that if you are the first to be discovered by others, you may disappear from the world completely. ”

After hearing what Jim said, Lird's brow furrowed slightly, and he had mixed feelings about what was happening in the Atlantean remnant.

The good news is that from the perspective of Qianrou's actions later, this assassination has nothing to do with it, which makes Lird receive great comfort, if there is a shadow of Qianrou in this assassination, then Lird will definitely be disheartened, and then leave here with Edward and return to the United States.

What worries Lird is that he is facing a lot of resistance, as Jim fears, there is no one in the Atlantean remnants who can really be trusted, and if Jim is not the first to find himself and is replaced by someone else, then it is very likely that a fierce battle will occur.

At this time, Edward on the side interjected again: "There is one more thing you haven't made clear, how did you find here?"

Jim ignored Edward, and simply explained to Lird, "To be honest, I didn't expect that I would be so smooth and the first to find here, and when I started looking for you, I would be the first to go into the mountains to meet the sentry soldiers who had been assigned to patrol. ”

Later, a small group of people mentioned that they seemed to hear a burst of gunfire last night, and they were very scared at the time, but when they went there, they did not find any suspected location of the crime, and they did not find any traces of the army and the enemy sneaking in, so although they were suspicious, they did not react, but reported the matter to the priest earlier. ”

"I then began to survey the area in the general direction they had described, and finally found traces of a fight, and there were many bullet holes and shells there, and it was then that I realized that there were other people in the mountains. ”

"But I didn't find your body or a lot of blood there, so I decided that you weren't dead yet, so I began to search the area, hoping to find some traces of walking, but unfortunately I didn't find any of that, so I had to run around like a lucky man, not wanting to find it in a few hours from the morning to this point. ”

Lird and Edward both reacted differently when they heard this, Lird smiled, and his trust in Jim thought that all this was a kind of providence in the dark, but Edward pouted rather dissatisfied, revealing the look of a blind cat in his clothes and a dead mouse, obviously very unhappy and disdainful of Jim's good luck.

When Jim had finished telling him all about it, he impatiently said to Lird, "Tell me what happened last night." ”

Lird sighed lightly, and then told Jim everything that had happened last night, and Jim's face changed as he listened to the events that Lird had told him.

When Lird finished telling everything, Jim's face fell into a particularly gloomy one.

After a long time, Jim slowly spoke, "I really didn't expect this to be the case... I didn't expect that..."

Lird said: "I asked the name of the man who chased me before, and you didn't tell me at the time, can you answer my questions now?"

Jim sighed and nodded: "I hope you don't resent me, that man's identity and status are quite special, and I don't think he has anything to do with other forces, so I don't tell you too much in a state of mind full of tribal secrets, but... Alas, anyway, I didn't expect him to be..."

"Okay, let's put so many emotions later, now we have to analyze and solve the problem in a race against time!" Edward interjected again, he did not have any emotional entanglements with the people of the Atlantean remnant, so he was inexplicably upset when he heard Jim's exclamation and surprise.

Jim didn't refute Edward, but said lightly: "As I said before, it is difficult to translate into English in our language, and the man who killed you doesn't have an English name, so I'll translate it as 'Brahman' for the time being." ”

"Brahma is the first warrior in our tribe, also known as 'Wolf's Fang', the first warrior to be waved by the sacrificial lords, and the commander of all the warriors. If the priest is equivalent to the president of a country, then the Brahman is the supreme commander of the army, and he has great military power in his hands. ”

"Since ancient times, the 'wolf's fangs' have been completely loyal to the sacrifice to prevent the decomposition of the sacrificial power from weakening. ”

Edward said: "I'm very curious about this, although I don't understand politics, but I still know the truth that military power is not separated, you say that the commander of an army must completely and unconditionally obey the president who has no military power, this kind of thing is still possible in a day or two, if it is a long time..."

Although Jim didn't like Edward in his heart, he had to admit that Edward's problems were to the point.

Jim paused and said: "It is true, although our clan is small, this kind of problem is also very likely to arise, and at that time, there is a high probability that chaos will arise within the clan, and it will not be good for anyone at that time, but the objective facts are there, and everything has already been executed... For a long time, it was unrealistic to change it completely, so the ancestors made a rule a long time ago, that is, the sacrifice must be married to the wolf's fang. ”

Lird was stunned when he heard this, and he was so shocked that he couldn't say a word, he had lived in the Atlantean remnant for so long, and he didn't know anything about this kind of thing, neither Qianrou nor his father Pym had mentioned this kind of thing to him, and if it wasn't for the man named Fandu who wanted to kill him, Jim wouldn't have mentioned it to himself.

Edward was gladly accepting this, and he grinned, "There is some truth to that. Husband and wife naturally live in harmony, and the power struggle is naturally very small. ”

Jim shook his head and said, "It's not what you think, the marriage between the sacrifice and the wolf's tooth is not the marriage between a man and a woman in a broad sense, their marriage is more like a kind of life... Sacrifice. This union exists only in name, and the sacrifice of the adult is a symbol of the gods, and the future is also the person who becomes a god, and how can the god be touched by mortals. ”

"So their union is only nominal, and as for the body, there is no contact between the two at all. By the way, I forgot to say that neither the sacrifice nor the wolf's tooth can have descendants. ”
