Chapter 95 Status
"Yan? Haven't heard of it! The old chief said angrily.
Lin Yuan frowned, it's no wonder, after so many years, in the ancient times when there was no written inheritance, who could remember the grievances and grievances thousands of years ago?
Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment, deciding that he couldn't give up so quickly, and he continued:
"That'...... Do you have any impressions of these? Waldo? Jiuli tribe? The Suiren clan? Huaxu? The Temple of Fire? Vulcan ......"
"Wait a minute......!"
The old chief, who had been shaking his head before, suddenly heard something, his eyes lit up, and he said intently:
"Vulcan?"
Lin Yuan's eyes widened, nodded and said:
"Well, yes, Vulcan, you...... Know the god of fire? ”
The old chief looked disdainful, pouted, and said:
"You know, those are gods of some foreign beliefs, and they are all false gods! Only our gods are truly gods! ”
Lin Yuan stuck out his tongue and then asked:
"That'...... What kind of race are those foreign races? Is it far from here in their tribe? ”
The old chief suddenly rolled his eyes, did not answer Lin Yuan's question, raised his head, and said coldly:
"What do you ask about? You haven't answered my question yet! Don't try to change the subject! ”
"I am from a very ancient tribe that believes in the god of fire, called the Yan tribe." Lin Yuan suddenly said calmly.
"Yan ...... Haven't heard of it! Sounds like a primitive tribal name...... Hehe, honestly, how did you deceive my daughter? ”
Lin Yuan frowned slightly, sneered, and said:
"You're half right, it's an ancient tribe, but I really didn't lie to your daughter......"
"Still not telling the truth!?" The old chief seemed to be angry, she slapped her chair, and suddenly, a dozen female warriors with weapons appeared around the lobby.
Lin Yuan sighed, he quietly clenched the fruit knife under the cloak, if the final negotiation collapsed and he fought hard, he was still a little sure that he would be able to escape.
He confronted the female warriors for a moment, and then said solemnly to the old chief:
"I know you don't believe me, so it's useless for me to say anything, but what I can tell you is that I do have no malice towards your Pangeng tribe and your youngest daughter, and besides, I don't want to be a god-given husband, if you don't believe me, you can ask Miss Jiu Yao yourself......"
The old chief didn't speak, a pair of old little eyes, staring at Lin Yuan carefully.
Lin Yuan cleared his throat and continued:
"I didn't lie to you, I had a long time before meeting your daughter...... Well, I don't have a memory, I don't know where I am, I don't know what tribes are in the world, I don't even have a way to explain why your back mountain is there, I know you won't believe it, but it's okay, I'll find a way to prove that I have no ill will towards you. ”
The old chief rolled his eyes and said:
"What proof are you going to use?"
It's in the set~
Lin Yuan was overjoyed in his heart, he was still thinking that if this level could not be fooled over, it would really be inevitable to carry out a bloody disaster, but since the old chief didn't get to the bottom of it, it would be fine......
"Chieftain...... Lin Yuan smiled, he changed his relaxed posture and said:
"The way to prove it is simple, for example...... I have a way to stop the Luohe Clan from bothering you......"
"What? What nonsense are you talking about? Why do the Luohe people want to trouble us? We have been peaceful neighbors for many years......"
Lin Yuan smiled and waved his hand, and said:
"Hehe, chief, let's stop going around in circles, you know, I'm right, you must be worried about this now......"
The old chief leaned sideways slightly, leaned back in the chair, leaned on the back of the chair, held his head with one hand, and looked at Lin Yuan with slanted eyes, as if he was thinking about who this person was entangled, and then she waved her hand to dismiss the female warriors around her, and then leaned forward slightly, and asked in a low voice:
"You...... How do you know......? ”
Lin Yuan put his hands behind his back and said slowly:
"It's very simple, you see, I have come all the way, and I have roughly counted the number of houses in your tribe, so that I can roughly estimate your population, and then, looking at the area where you grow food, and the livestock you raise, it is easy to conclude that the food you produce is far from enough for your population ......to eat."
“…… However, I didn't see any famine along the way, so that means you have good relations with the surrounding tribes, and you have stable and long-term trading partners, and you produce some kind of specialty in exchange for food and other things...... I'm not wrong......"
The old chief was noncommittal, and Lin Yuan continued:
"Then, if you are willing to marry your youngest daughter to a tribe she doesn't like, then it can only mean one thing, that tribe is indispensable to your Pangeng clan, or rather, it is a tribe that you dare not provoke at all, and that tribe is definitely not a barbaric tribe that can only plunder, smash and rob, otherwise, you will not marry Jiu Yao over......"
“…… Therefore, to sum up, this so-called Luohe tribe must be a trade cooperation tribe that mainly supplies you with grain, and the relationship with this tribe actually directly determines the development of your Pangeng tribe...... Or even survival...... I'm not wrong, right? It's just that you don't want to make Princess Jiu Yao too sad, so you used a trick to delay the army, if I'm not mistaken, just now you actually planned to split Jiu Yao first, and then find a chance to get rid of me, maybe kill ...... Uh, who knows...... In the end, I made up a reason to tell Jiu Yao, and then persuaded this family business...... I don't know if I'm right? ”
Under Lin Yuan's inquiry, the face of the chief of the Pangeng clan was red and white, and after a while, he said:
“…… I didn't intend to kill you, I just wanted to throw you into the mountains, far away...... But what you just said does have some truth, and you can actually guess my thoughts through these clues, which is good...... Not bad......"
Lin Yuan smiled, and then continued:
"Actually, you don't have to worry about this, as I said before, first of all, I will leave, I will not stay here forever, this is not my home, I have to find my Yan family...... Secondly, you don't have to worry about the Luohe clan, if you can, please give me half a month, I promise, I can come up with the best of both worlds, not only can the friendship between the Luohe clan and you not be too deep, but also can let Miss Jiu Yao not marry, she can do what she wants to do, what do you think? ”
The chief sneered a few times and said:
"Haha, it's all up to your mouth, why should I believe you?"
"If I can't do it, Chief, I'll let you go, and kill or chop whatever you want!" Lin Yuan said categorically.
The chief nodded and said:
"Yes, that's good! Then give you 15 days, if ...... If you can't do it, then I'm sorry, I'm going to take your head and go to the Luohe clan to ask for guilt! Let's just say that Jiu Yao was bewitched by you......"
Lin Yuan waved his hand impatiently, meaning that he should not be verbose, he said quickly:
"Then, next, I will set my conditions: first of all, I hope that during this time, your people will not come to harass me, so that I can do what I want to do, of course, I will not run away, you can rest assured that in this barren mountains and mountains, it is a dead end for me to run out."
"Yes, you can." The old chief agreed.
Secondly, I need to ask a few questions, perhaps, these questions may seem strange to you, but please don't suspect too much, just answer truthfully, okay? “
The old chief suddenly became interested, as if he was watching an artist standing on the stage performing, he looked at Lin Yuan with great interest, and said:
"Okay! You ask! ”
Finally got to the point! Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and thought in his heart. There was no chance to be missed, and he opened his mouth and asked:
"From here, Chief, from here, to the north of this valley and mountain, about a day's journey, you can leave the mountain, and I remember that there was once a great wilderness, and in the depths of the wilderness, a great city was built...... Have you ever known how the city is going? ”
The chief frowned, as if trying to think of something, and then said:
"Well, it looks like you're really amnesia! What do these do, you ask? Ah, I know, you're going to keep it a secret......"
The old chief paused a little mischievously, and then continued, "Yes, there is indeed a plain to the north of the mountain, but it is not a wilderness, but it is one of the richest areas near us!" Hundreds of tribes, large and small, are crowded there, not to mention big cities, there are big cities everywhere, and houses of different shapes are everywhere. ”
Lin Yuan nodded happily, it seemed that he had a good vision at that time, that wilderness had indeed become an excellent location for cultivation in the end, but he didn't expect that after thousands of years, the population there had grown to this extent...... However, it is better to find Huadu first......
"That city may not be the largest now, but it has one thing that makes it unique, and that is that in the very center of the city, there is a fire temple! It's the altar of the god of fire......"
The old chief waved his hand and said:
"Let's not talk about those false gods in my main hall, I don't know what the situation of the Vulcan Sect is, but I can ask someone to help you inquire about it from other tribes that believe in the Vulcan Sect, if the matter is as you said, it should be easy to find, if you find it, I will tell you, that, you, go on, what else do you need to ask?"
Lin Yuan scratched his head, pointed to the golden necklace hanging from the old chief's chest, and asked:
"Are these around your neck copper? Is it that kind of pure copper? ”
"Copper?" Chief Pangeng looked dazed, and then suddenly thought, grabbed the necklace, and said to Lin Yuan:
"Oh, you mean this god's gift, right? Hehe, this is the treasure of our Pangeng clan, and it is a gift from the gods. ”
Lin Yuan carefully looked at the copper necklace hanging from the chief's chest, it was glowing with golden light, and it seemed to look quite heavy.
“…… Chieftain, this godsend...... What, where did you dig it up? This kind of thing, in my hometown, I used to see it, they dug out of the ground. ”
The chief's eyes turned a few times, and she was obviously shocked by Lin Yuan again, because she knew the secret of this pure copper, but she had never told people from other tribes, they sold, and usually only sold bronze ware made into jewelry, no one knew how this thing was entangled, this has become the main source of income for the Pangeng clan, but she never expected that the young man in front of him actually knew so clearly, could it? His Yan clan, really has any mysterious technology that the Pangeng clan doesn't know?
Lin Yuan also seemed to know the old chief's calculations, he smiled slightly, and said with retreat:
"Forget it, Chief Chief, I won't get to the bottom of it, I just want to tell you that I have seen this kind of thing, in our hometown, we call it copper, it is a kind of metal, and I know that pure copper, although the appearance is gorgeous and colorful, but, in fact, it also has a more important function, that is, it can be used as a tool to help you cut down enemies, hunt animals and other things......"
"Hehe, don't laugh, this copper you are talking about is too soft to use at all, and it is still used as a tool? Do weapons? And lo and behold! In the middle of speaking, the old chief took off the necklace around his neck, and with a strong break, the shape of the necklace suddenly bent.
“…… You see, that's it, how can it be used as a weapon? Haha, don't laugh! ”
Lin Yuan said with a serious face:
"Chief, I'm not laughing! It's true, I have a way of making copper as sharp as a bone blade, as strong as a stone spear, and as hard as a rock, and I can change its shape as we want...... If you allow me, I'd like to take me to the place where you found copper, and maybe I can show you a show on the spot......"
