Chapter 294: The Balo Clan
"Wait...... You asked me to pretend to be a Pino Assassin? ”
Yang Ye looked at Paul in surprise.
The Bino is a race that specializes in assassination, and its invisible bloodline and storm-like explosive power make every Bino a natural killer.
The last time Queen Nana was assassinated at the Palace of Il, it was an assassin of the Binor clan.
In terms of size, the Bino are indeed similar to humans......
"It's not."
Paul suddenly remembered Princess Nana, and then put away his thoughts and said, "The Binoir like white, they are a race that worships light. Although this outfit is very close to the traditional clothing of the Bino people, the color is indeed taboo for them. ”
"I'm talking about another race that is very few in number on Alpha...... Right now...... Probably not much left. This set is their traditional costume, which is made of natural cotton and linen fibers. ”
"There's a problem!"
Yang Ye saw that Paul was secretive and reluctant to mention more, but was more interested.
He took the 'line' handed over by Paul and smiled: "Why are there so few of them?" ”
"Because they are heretics."
Paul pondered for a while, and still told Yang Ye about the 'black history' of the previous church.
It turns out that Alpha Star does not have only one religion, in her long history, there have been multiple religious systems, but now they are basically extinct.
The race of which Paul speaks is called the Balor.
The word Barlow in Alpha Star means: night falls.
And the belief of the Barrow people is their patron god, the 'Monarch of the Night'.
In order to show their worship of the Lord God, each Balo has adopted 'Balo' as a surname. And put the last name in front. It's like the Chinese people's respect for their ancestors.
The last name comes first, and the personal name comes second.
The Balo tribe has been brave and good at fighting since ancient times, and is known for their swordsmanship, and during their heyday, they founded the Barlow Kingdom on the northern continent of Alpha Star.
Until one day 3,000 years ago, Paul's religion united with the Seven Kingdoms and handed a 'letter of surrender' to the Kingdom of Barlow.
It is to the effect that your gods will be subject to the light. to be healthy. Otherwise, the Manchus will be killed.
Believing that night and light are equal, Barlow refuses to surrender the Seven Kingdoms, and war ensues.
The disparity in strength, which can be redeemed by inpersonal swordsmanship, was slaughtered by the Balo tribe in the end, and there were only a few hundred survivors.
And then for a while. The Great Pope still does not give up the hunt for the Balo tribe. It was not until the accession of the new Pope that the pardon of the crimes of the Balo was announced.
He declared that the Lord of the Night had surrendered to the light, and that the gods had allowed the darkness to exist.
No one knows how many people are still in the Baro tribe, not even a new generation of young people like Paul. It can only be learned from history books.
In fact, the demise of the Baro tribe is lost to the population. Even the constituent countries are only a few hundred thousand people. At that time, the alliance of the Seven Kingdoms was as high as 10 million.
The internal rule of 'intermarriage within the clan' also limits the population development of the Balo people.
"Win and lose. It has been a principle since ancient times...... But the Balo are also quite bloody. ”
Yang Ye said with a smile: "Now in your sect, you won't hunt down the Balo clan, right?" ”
"Of course."
"Now that the Monarch of the Night has surrendered to the throne of the Lord God, we are a faith."
Paul breathed a sigh of relief. He also thought that Yang Ye would accuse him of his faith.
"Ye, I think it's best for you to pretend to be a Balor, he has the same black eyes as you...... However, the skin and limbs are slightly different, but if you wear a scarf and gloves, I am sure they will not recognize it......"
"By the way, and the Barlow accent......"
As he spoke, Paul activated the holographic projection and took out the materials he had prepared one by one for Yang Ye to learn.
Since the system was replaced, Paul had to do a lot of things himself, and he started to hate the machine.
From this point, Yang Ye seems to see the 'figure of Princess Nana'.
"Paul still can't let go of ......"
……
Four earth hours passed, and Yang Ye finally swam ashore from the vast river of Barlow history.
I have to say that the Balo tribe is really thorough in their belief in the night!
From their most famous swordsmanship, to their living customs, they are inseparable from the word 'night'.
It is worth mentioning that there is a method for the Balo people to practice swordsmanship recorded in the data, which is called: Dark Night Resting Technique.
This method of practicing the sword is actually a kind of spiritual cultivation.
There is no specific sect move in the Barlow sword culture, and the Barlow Sage once said: The skill of the sword is hidden in our body, and all you have to do is find it.
Hence the 'Night Resting Technique'.
As the name suggests, 'dark night' means night, and 'resting' means rest.
There is only one paragraph in the whole text, which is to the effect that:
The heart is as dark as the night sky.
The sword is as dark as my life.
Although this sentence is very short, it is no less than Daigo empowerment for Yang Ye!
The meaning of this passage is actually to tell people:
"The darkness is for mothers, and we are all in our mother's wombs."
"Relax and imagine a sword in the dark. It is one with you, like your life. You're there. ”
From a psychological point of view, this sentence is a hint of the subconscious of people, so as to raise the mental level and exert the instinct left over from the genes.
There is a saying in China: dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and rats are born to make holes.
From this sentence, it can be seen that instinct can be inherited, and modern genetics studies believe that:
The life conceived by two highly educated people is born 'smarter' than the average person.
The "smart" here does not mean that he has a higher IQ than the average person, but that he has the "knowledge" inherited from the previous generation in his genes, which was relatively easy before he took up the profession in which his father lived.
For example, in ancient times, official families, merchant families, blacksmiths, soldiers, and so on......
Through the meditation of the Night Retreat, you can call out the unawakened parts of your body. When sword skills merge with instinct, there is no need for skill.
Chinese people often say: 'There is no trick to win'. That's what it means.
'Look at the darkness as a mother, we are all in the mother's womb'
This phrase can be understood as: imagine yourself as an embryo in your mother's womb.
At that time, it was the gestation period of life, and there was no distracting thoughts and troubles, and when people's hearts entered this level, it was Buddhism: no self and no sentient beings.
This seems to be a method of cultivating swordsmanship, but it is actually a health preservation technique that relieves mental pressure and cultivates the body and mind.
Future.
When technology develops to a certain bottleneck, human beings will develop towards the path of self-pursuit, and at that time, national art will no longer be a killing technique in novels. Rather, it is moving towards a more profound 'science of human potential'.
As a matter of fact. From beginning to end, Yang Ye was using this scientific vision to look at the national art he had cultivated.
The concept of science does not only refer to scientific and technological products, if you look at it from a scientific perspective, there is science everywhere.
……
"Hey, hey. Pretty good. ”
"Good breathability. It's also very comfortable to wear. ”
Yang Ye smiled at the mirror.
Now he has changed into the traditional costume of the Balo people.
There are three layers to this outfit. Like layers of veils in the night.
The inner layer is a tight, close-fitting black garment woven from special plant fibers. It has a silky texture to the touch, and it is very elastic and breathable. It's much more comfortable than Yang Ye thinks.
The second layer is called 'inner robe', which means the robe worn in the garment.
This layer is relatively loose, and the design is somewhat similar to the clothes of the Han and Tang dynasties in China. But he had a high collar, and the collar was high enough to cover half of his face.
With the traditional 'headscarf hat' of the Baro people, the facial contours can be basically covered.
This is also related to the Balo custom of advocating 'night'.
The third time is the 'outer robe'.
The outer robe is primarily used for its decorative function, and also acts as a 'scabbard'.
In the traditional costume of the Baluo people, the outer robe is woven with a very tough plant fiber, which is equivalent to biosteel, and it is very lightweight.
In the design, three 'hidden sword rings' are reserved in the robe, which are on the left and right sides of the robe and the upper left position.
This kind of 'sword ring' is actually used for 'ring buckles', which are used to fix the scabbard and hide the sword in the robe.
When the 'ring buckle' buckles the scabbard, the scabbard will not be lost when running, so you don't have to worry too much.
And when the sword in his hand is shot down, he can also wield the scabbard in his robe to defend and counterattack.
This design is simply born for sword people, and Yang Ye fell in love with it as soon as he heard it!
"Brother, is there anything missing?"
"Haha, I've been preparing for a long time."
As he spoke, Paul pressed and excitedly removed a sword case from the counter.
From the outside, the sword case looks like a cello case, or a suitcase.
At first, Yang Ye thought it was Paul's use for storage.
Click, with the insurance open.
Three black, translucent swords came into view.
They vary in length, the longest is close to Yang Ye's Chiming Sword, and the shortest is only about half a meter.
The shape is similar to that of the Han sword, but the sword body is thinner, and there is no 'sword grid'.
The lattice is the part of the 'handguard' between the blade and the hilt.
The material of the sword is somewhat similar to dyed glass, and the edge is extremely sharp.
"Ye, please allow me to introduce you!"
"These three swords are the swords of the Balo tribe that I have imitated from reading the history books!"
"Its forged metal is made of Alpha Star's rarest and toughest 'black gold ore', and in order to increase its toughness and sharpness, the craftsmen also mixed a large amount of carbon in it to ...... its structure."
"That's why it looks translucent......"
"So that's ......" Yang Ye nodded, waiting for Paul to explain.
"You may be confused, right? Why are there three? ”
Paul picked up the shortest sword and smiled, "Because 'three' means 'endless' in the Balo tribe......"
"In ancient times, only the Great Sword Saint with the highest swordsmanship in the Balo Clan was equipped with three swords. Meaning: The night is endless. ”
"I see."
Yang Ye has a better impression of the tragic race of the Balo tribe: "We also have a saying in Huaxia that there are three lives and all things, and it seems that it is still very suitable to pretend to be the Balo tribe." ”
Speaking of this, Yang Ye suddenly smiled and said, "But my swordsmanship, I shouldn't be qualified to bring these three swords, right?" ”
"No, you're totally qualified for me!"
Paul said earnestly: "After these three swords were cast, I gave them a new definition. ”
"This one is the shortest one, it's Luo Jian. On my behalf. ”
"This slightly longer one, called Ye Jian, represents you!"
"This one is the longest of the Endless Sword."
"Together, these three swords represent your friendship with me - eternal and endless!"
