Chapter 78: The Manatee
Please enter the text. "This dagger of yours looks valuable." Badu took the "Ankami Blade" that Siberis used to cut potatoes and said to him, "This is your family heirloom, isn't it?" β
Siberis shook her head.
"You picked it up?" Badu withdrew the dagger into the golden sheath, and after a few more glances, he handed it back to Siberys.
"A Marquis of Randy gave it to me." Siberis took the Ankar Blade and said, "He gave it to me before he died. β
"Oh? The Marquis of Randyβ" Badu said after a moment's thought, "the Marquis, then he must be equivalent to the Great Khan of a certain grassland, no wonder he has such a good treasure... But why did he give you this golden dagger? β
"Because I promised to deliver a letter for him, he gave me this dagger." As she spoke, Sibelis drew the Ankami Blade again and used it to peel the potatoes.
"Whew, you really like to help people." Badu said dismissively.
After peeling another slice of potato, Siberis handed it to Bado, and asked him, "Badu, do you live around here?" β
"Nearby?" Badu looked at the water in the distance and said, "Once." β
"A lot of land has been flooded by the sea." Cybeliss turned to look at the ocean in the distance, and then she asked Badu, "Why did you come back here since you don't live here now?" β
"Escape." Badu put the potato chips in his mouth, and he turned his head to look at the horse not far away, which was tired from his ride.
"Is anyone chasing you?" Sibriss said as she looked up.
Badu took the water bladder from Sibris's hand again, and after taking a sip, he said to her, "I should have thrown them off yesterday." β
"You must have been running for a long time, haven't you?" Siberis also looked at the tired horse not far away.
"Four days." Badu thought for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't been adrift at sea as long as a child like you. β
"Four days, then you must be exhausted," Sibriss whispered.
"It's okay, I lay down for a while, and I ate some of the potatoes you brought, and I feel better." Badu slowly stood up on the grass as he spoke, and Sibeliz noticed that when he stood up, he was much taller than he looked when he was lying down.
"What's it called?" Badu asked, looking at Nohibi, who was wagging his tail to the side.
"Noshibi." "It's a hound. β
"Nosipi, it's worse than your name. It looks skinny, you must not have fed it properly. Badu slowly approached Noshibi, crouched down and gently stroked its neck.
Sibriss saw that Nohibi seemed to have a sense of intimacy with Badu. So he said, "I don't know how to feed it." It looks like it likes you, though. β
"What is there to be strange about liking me." "He who is favored by the Divine Grace of Immortality deserves to be loved by all things. β
Siberis blinked in confusion.
"Kid, you need to feed your dog well. It doesn't have wolf nature now, so you have to feed it as much bloody fresh meat as possible, so that it can gradually find itself. Badu said, stroking Nohibi.
Siburys turned to Nohibi and nodded.
"Let's go, take me to the warship." As he spoke, Badu walked over to the horse's carcass, removed the rucksack from the horse's back, and drew a saber from under the saddle.
As he walked with Sibeliss to the shore where the Pheton ship was, Badu suddenly asked Siberis, "If you hadn't met me, how long do you think you would have lived here?" β
Si Baili was stunned for a moment, she thought for a moment and then whispered, "Maybe I won't live long." β
"Hmm..." Badu nodded, and then walked over to Siberis.
After walking for a while, Badu looked at the shore and said, "You didn't tell me that there was still a lot of meat to eat in the boat. β
"Badu, is it... You're going to kill those animals? Siberis was a little surprised, and she asked him behind Bado.
"Or else?" Badu waved his scimitar, looked into the distance and said, "I can't eat the horse that helped me run for my life, can I?" β
"No.. I didn't mean that, Iβ" Si Bai Li tried to persuade him not to kill animals at will, but Xi Bai Li gave up after hesitating for a moment. She could feel that hunting animals for food was inherently normal and natural for Bado, and that he didn't see it as a pastime or anything else, that was the way he lived.
"And what do you mean?" Badu asked, "I'm going to keep eating potatoes?" β
"Nope." Siberys whispered. As she approached the beach with Bado, Sibriss spoke to him and asked, "Badu, do you know what animals they are?" β
"I don't know." "It doesn't matter what he is, he can eat it." β
Seeing that Siberis did not reply, Badu thought for a moment and said again, "I tell you, they are called sea manatees. β
"Didn't you just say you didn't know?" Sibeliss asked.
"Really?" "There's something I don't know?" β
"Are they cows in the sea?" Sibeliss asked.
"You should be the one." Badu said, quickening his pace.
The sluggish manatees were unaware of the danger coming, and they were still lazily basking in the sun, even as they watched Badu come with his knife.
When Badu stabbed a manatee in the abdomen and killed it with all his might, the rest of the manatee even froze in place, not knowing what had happened.
"Sooner or later, this idiot animal will become extinct." Badu said after cutting off a large piece of sea meat.
Looking at the tragically dead manatee and Badu's bloody hands, Si Baili took a deep breath, and she turned to the boat with some reluctance.
"Hey!"
Siberice turned around, and she saw that Badu was not calling herself, but Nohibi. She saw Badu toss a bone-in steak at Nohibi, who was waiting anxiously on the sidelines. And Nohibi immediately rushed towards the steak frantically, and grabbed the steak fiercely, pulled it aside and tore it and devoured it.
When Si Bellis returned to the ship on the water, and found some useful household items again, she saw Badu climb into the boat with her.
Badu looked around the ship and asked Sibris, "You've been with these dead men for nine days?" β
Sibelis nodded.
Badu shook his head incredulously, and then he pulled a battle axe from the waist of the corpse of a Fitun warrior.
"Stop searching for useless stuff, stupid boy." Badu said to Si Bailis, who was carrying a bag in her hand, "Don't you know what the most valuable thing is on the whole ship?" β
Sibriss watched silently as Badu walked to the bow of the ship with his tomahawk. As soon as he reached the bow of the boat, Badu slashed at the bow of the ship. After some chopping of the wood carving, the dragon-perched wood inlaid with glowstone had been shattered, and Badu reached out to clasp the crumbling glowstone by the way.
Badu walked up to Si Baisi with a glowstone and said to her, "This thing is worth only as much as the ship itself. β
"Badu, have you been to Phyton?" Cyblics looked at the glowing glow of the glow and asked him, "You speak Pheton and you know glowstone." In Phetton, glowstone is the lantern of the ancestors, and it is more sacred. β
"I haven't been there." Badu said, "I know the Pheton language because the Phaedons are my enemies, so I deliberately learned the Phaedon language from the captured Featoni captives, and as for the ancestor lantern you are talking about, I know, but it has nothing to do with me. β
Siberice said no more.
"Let's go, get off the boat, I'll roast meat for you." "It's a little reward for helping me." β
"I didn't help you much, Bado." Cyblices said.
"I'm a grateful person." "Even though your help is small, I have received your help. β
Sibriss jumped out of the boat, and she saw Badu pull out of his bag a beautifully crafted fire sickle.
Although Si Bai Li took pity on the dead sea manatee, the aroma of the roast meat still made Xi Bai Li salivate. As Badu handed over the roasted sea meat, Siberis had to put aside her pity for the animal, and she took the fragrant steak and tried to take a bite. The tender and juicy sea beef immediately detonated Sibelis's taste buds, and she thanked Badu after a heartfelt chew.
Bado ignored Ciperys, who took a little salt from the salt packet he had with him and sprinkled it on the piece of meat that was still on the grill.
Looking at Badu, who had roasted the meat and chewed it, Sibriss asked him, "Badu, where are you going?" β
"White Deer Ministry." Badu chewed his food and said to Siberys, "But don't be afraid, brother, I'll take you with me." β
Badu's words made Siberys stop chewing, and she looked at Badu blankly.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Badu said to Silberis, "Do you want to stay here alone and die here?" β
Siberis shook her head.
"If you don't want to die, then you won't come with me?"
"Badu, you... Where are you going to take me? Si Baili asked with some concern.
"I said it, White Deer. That's my grandma's tribe. Badu took another bite of the flesh, but he noticed that Sibriss was still looking at him blankly, so he asked her, "Are you afraid of anything?" Stupid kid. β
"I, I.. I don't want to go anywhere else, I just want to go back to Featon. Sibriss whispered.
Badu burst out laughing a few times, and then he asked Cyblis, "You said you wanted to go back to Phyton?" β
Siberis nodded slightly.
"How do you get there? By that broken ship? Or can you swim back? "Besides, didn't you say you don't have parents?" So what are you going to do back? β
"I'm going back. I'm going to wait for someone. Sibriss whispered.
"Don't be stupid. You can't go back to Phetton without great ships and good sailors. "And Segou doesn't have any ships." This is also the reason why it is always the Fayton people who harass us Seydons, and it is difficult for us Seydons to fight back against them in Fiyton itself. β
"But I..."
"You're just going to die here." Badu said.
Si Baili was silent, she lowered her eyes, and silently looked at the piece of meat in her hand.
"Come with me, so you can live." Badu took a bite of the meat and chewed on.
"The world is about to end." Si Baili suddenly whispered.
"What?" Badu stared at Sibriss and asked, "What did you say that it was about to be destroyed?" β
"The world, the earth." Siberis raised her eyes and said, "The earth is about to be swallowed by the sea." β
Badu looked at the shore, then at Siberys, "Little fool, you are pessimistic enough. You must not know how big the world is. β
Siberis shook her head.
"At the moment, the sea is quite abnormal, it is flooding a large area of land. But the ground beneath your feet is far bigger than you think. Just riding a horse from here to the Grad steppe to participate in the game meeting has to walk for two months in a row, and when you come back, you have to ride a horse for another two months. Badu said.
"But as long as the sea keeps rising, no matter how vast the earth is, it will be swallowed up." Cyblices said.
"This.." Badu thought for a moment and said, "That's not bad, but how can the sea rise endlessly. It didn't rain or snow that much. β
"I saw icebergs, they were cracking, they were melting." Cyblices said.
"Does that have anything to do with the sea?" Badu asked.
"I also heard the old fables of Featon." Siberis said and told Badu about the signs of the snow crow.
"Stop, I don't like to hear this nonsense from Feiton." Badu interrupted Sibelis, "It's something that an idiot would believe." β
Sibriss hung her head and said no more.
"If you will follow me, I will take you as my servant." Badu said as he looked at Sibris.
"Servant?" Siberis asked as she looked at Badu a little blankly.
"Huh?" Badu looked at Siberis and said, "Why, aren't you satisfied with being my servant?" β
Cybeliss shook her head, not knowing what to say.
"This meadow, the sea here, the sky above you, and these idiot manatees here, should all belong to me." "Since you are here, unless you are an enemy, I will kill you." Or, you should have belonged to me. It is your honor to be chosen by me as a servant. β
Siberis looked at Badu a little bewildered, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Badu snorted, then looked at the glowstone thrown on the ground and said in Segu, "I want to take back everything that belongs to me." β
