Chapter 60: The Legend of the Dragon on the Snow Mountain
"Help?"
When Wren heard this, he glanced at her, and it was also expected.
Captive, what they want most is freedom.
But he didn't intend to say yes.
If this barbarian chick guesses that she is eager to decipher a secret scroll, I am afraid that she will use this as a threat and have to put forward some other conditions.
......
Hearing this, Wren said coldly, "Do you think... Are you now qualified to negotiate terms with me? ”
Uduo was stared at by Wren's gaze, but he didn't show weakness, and said proudly: "This kind of 'sacrificial language' tribe only our Koleman clan great sacrifice lineage knows how to interpret it... No more than ten people in total! If I die, it's impossible for you to find someone to interpret it! ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became very stiff.
"Hehe... You threaten me? ”
Wren stared into her eyes, not looking like he was lying.
Moreover, her statement is also reasonable.
A primitive tribe would certainly not have had two complete writing systems, and it is clear that the "ancient Monckel" script is much more complex and esoteric than their Koleman language.
Perhaps, as she said, only the so-called "high priest lineage" in the tribe knew how to interpret the special ancient civilization language.
But this also aroused Wren's curiosity, this oil bottle is only thirteen years old, and she can actually know this kind of ancient language, so her identity in the tribe is probably a bit special.
He's not in a hurry, anyway, now the absolute initiative is in his own hands.
"I'm just interested in this kind of writing of ancient civilizations, if you don't want to say it, forget it."
Wren didn't give a captive a chance to beat the snake with a stick, sneered, and said, "Since you don't want to help, then... Please leave. ”
With that, he began to pack up the hides on the table with a cold face.
Since I borrowed it, I naturally have to return it to its original place.
Hearing this, Wu Duo was really anxious.
Obviously, in this situation, she has no room to negotiate conditions at all.
Even if he wasn't tied up now, he couldn't escape from the city.
How could primitive people who didn't even understand the coin in a car, and who didn't understand the language, escape from this "Shining City" with heavy garrisons and magical bans?
Wren didn't mean to speak again, as if he really didn't care about translating "Monkel's ancient language" at all.
"I... I really need your help..."
Finally, Udo endured her stubbornness.
The life and death of the clansmen are all pinned on herself, and she can't delay any longer.
She changed her tone to a pleading tone, and said, "I am a warrior of the Koleman clan, and I am not afraid of death. But if I can't drive back to the tribe, there will be a 'great terror' on this land, and then my tribe and you will both die..."
"Hehe..."
Obviously, this sounds big, and the more mysterious it is, the more false it becomes.
What kind of "great terror", do you think you will believe me if you scare and scare me like this?
Wren naturally didn't take it to heart, and had a completely unmoved expression.
However, he was also curious about the identity of this Uduo, and... Why did she come to intercept and kill those mysterious people?
He didn't worry about the translation, but wanted to find out the ins and outs of the matter, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "You made the beast tide in the forest that day?" Is that what your magic is back for? ”
The tone is very casual, and it should have been to listen to gossip.
Wu Duo also felt that if there was any concealment now, it was estimated that this man would abandon her, so he nodded: "Yes! We in the Koleman clan have secret methods to operate Warcraft. But my magic power is not enough to cover too much of the forest, so I was devoured..."
Wren raised his eyebrows, slightly understanding.
He asked directly: "You ran to the west of the 'Alcolon Mountains', and you came specifically to kill people?" ”
The Alcoron Mountains?
I guess it's a reference to the Holy Mountain.
"We're not here to kill!"
Wu Duo corrected righteously.
After saying that, she hesitated for a moment, as if weighing whether to tell the truth.
But looking at the sneer on the corner of Wren's mouth, she knew that if she had half a sentence that upset him, she would be abandoned immediately.
She had to say truthfully: "The invaders infiltrated the sacrificial place of our clan and stole the sacred relics of the clan. We're here to retrieve the relics..."
Oh, what a "holy thing" it was.
For the hunters, the barbarians, even the treasures brought by people, are the objects of "hunting" in their eyes. Territorial invasion and resource grabbing are normal behaviors.
Hearing this, Wren was not much surprised.
Obviously, the "holy relic" may have been intercepted by the barbarians. Otherwise, those "mystery people" would not be in pursuit.
Although Wren was also curious about what the holy relic was, he didn't ask directly.
What can make a group of people give up their lives to recover, no matter how threatening it is, she will definitely not say it.
Even if I had to ask it, it would be after the ancient scroll had been translated.
......
Wren asked again, "How did you get here?" I mean... How did you avoid the city and go to the mountains? ”
Udo responded, "Fly here on a snow sculpture!" For this reason, we were also attacked by the 'XX Warcraft', killing and wounding many tribal warriors..."
She said a new word that was unfamiliar, and to the description, it sounded like a terrifying beast that could fly.
The two of them didn't even describe what kind of monster it was, and in the end, Wu Duo had to draw it with pen and paper.
When Wren looked at the faintly presented flesh-winged lizard on the paper, he was shocked: "Isn't this a dragon?" ”
"There are dragons on the snowy mountains?"
This is the first time Wren has heard of it.
He hadn't heard a legend of a living dragon for at least a year.
This kind of overlord-level demonic beast that only exists in myths and legends, and exists in mythical civilizations, is there still a living thing?
It turns out that somewhere in this snow-capped mountain behind him, there is still a black dragon's lair?
Udo said affirmatively, "Yes." At least a thousand years ago, the legend of that terrifying monster was circulated in the tribe. It was a behemoth with black scale armor that could breathe fire. It's the most powerful monster in the world..."
Wren became more and more curious: "Did you see that black dragon when you came?" ”
Myths and legends say that the big lizards are very fond of collecting shiny things, and the dragon's lair must be a treasure place.
"Not really."
Uduo shook his head: "But I met some half-blood wurms that can also fly, which are the offspring of the black dragon... It was they who attacked the snow sculptures and caused heavy casualties among the tribal warriors. ”
......
"Alright... I don't have any other questions. ”
Wren didn't mention anything about the "holy relics", and Udo's expression was visibly relaxed.
He said directly: "Now, I need you to write down all the 'sacrificial words' you understand, and then interpret them to me." If I'm satisfied, I might not mind doing you a little favor. ”
These words are also the same flat tone of the previous gossip.
The implication is also obvious: if you like to say it, just say it, and if you don't say it, get out of it immediately!
Uduo looked resolute: "I can help you interpret the 'Sacrificial Language', but... I want to get your promise first! ”
“...”
Wren pursed his lips and looked impatient.
This chick is stubborn!
Wu Duo was afraid that he would leave him alone again, so he hurriedly explained: "If I can't go back in time, the [Black Tide] will come to the world, and the tribe will suffer a catastrophe." So... I have to rush back as soon as possible! ”
Kuroshio?
Another strange new term.
Not to mention whether there is such a thing, even if there is really any "great terror", the sky is still tall and tall, and he is a first-order [awakened person] who is not panicked at all.
Wren was still expressionless, lost in thought.
Although it continues to stay up, it is estimated that this barbarian chick will also compromise.
But think about it, after all, translation is a delicate job, and there are hidden dangers in "tool people" doing things with emotions.
After a long silence, Wren opened his mouth to break the awkward atmosphere.
He asked lightly, "What promise do you want me to make?" ”
Udo: "Send me out of the city!" ”
Expected request.
Wren spread his hands: "If you behave well, I will consider it." ”
"I need a definite commitment!"
Udo shook her head and said, she pleaded again, "Please! I know you're a good guy and you'll definitely help me..."
“...”
Wren couldn't help but want to roll his eyes, he was given a good person card by a thirteen-year-old girl.
He was not in a hurry, and asked with a sneer, "Hehe, you seem to be pretty sure that I will help you?" ”
Udo said something: "I know the 'language of nature'. ”
“???”
Hearing this, Wren was stunned.
Could it be that there was a translation error, what did I hear? This answer doesn't seem to have anything to do with the question.
Wu Duo said, "I can sense the emotions of the demonic beasts and all living beings. ”
“???”
Another string of question marks appeared on Wren's forehead.
What do you mean, this wild man treats me like a monster?
Vaguely, he guessed that this chick might have sensed his eagerness to translate the "ancient language of Monkel" because of some strange and extraordinary ability.
At this time, Udo explained, "This is the ability that the gods have given us the Great Sacrifice of Coleman, so that we can understand the 'voice of all things'... Although I didn't understand your language before, I know that you are not like those vile invaders. That's why I'm praying for your help, I know you'd love to learn the 'Sacrificial Language', but I also sincerely hope you'll help me. ”
Wren: "..."
Sure enough, this chick saw through everything.
She really seems to have a very magical ability.
Could it be that the legendary barbarians are good at domesticating demonic beasts is derived from this ability?
Wren raised an eyebrow noncommittally.
Both sides showed their chips, and there was no need to continue the temptation.
He said directly: "Help me translate the 'Sacrificial Language', and I can promise to do my best to help you get out of the city in ten days." ”
After all, this chick was the countess's captive, and he had no right to promise anything.
But he didn't say it perfunctory.
The countess didn't seem to be too interested in the barbarian. When the time comes, I will help her intercede, and there should be no problem. If it doesn't work out, it's also her own fate.
There is only so much you can promise.
"Good!"
This time, Uduo did not hesitate any longer and decisively agreed.
Because she perceived the "sincerity" of that promise.
