Chapter 494: The Residents of the New Green Grassland
Because it was the second time that he had encountered a system update, Xiwei didn't pay much attention to it.
Once he was sure that the storage boxes and magic were still working, he planned to teleport himself back to the Adric Academy.
At this moment, however, something was running so fast that the rustle of the grass came from all directions.
After a little hesitation, the body of those things appeared in front of Sivi's eyes.
It was a creature about two meters tall, with a human upper body and a horse on its lower body.
That is, the centaur of the material.
After casually looking around, there were more than twenty centaurs that could be seen so far, like human hunting, coming from all directions.
"Humans?"
The centaur led by him galloped to Sivi with lightning speed, then stopped sharply, looked at him condescendingly, and said coldly in a somewhat transfigured Hugh Men language.
There are no such creatures in the Eastern Plains, and people only hear about this tall and mighty nomadic people in stories.
Interestingly, whether from human legends or ancient records, centaurs are not very kind to humans, and when communicating with humans, they would rather call themselves animals than admit that they are subhumans, but humans unexpectedly have a high positive opinion of this lonely race.
Even the motif of the centaur was used in the coat of arms of the nobility in some regions, as a metaphor for solitude and loyalty, and was very popular.
The centaur leader who appeared in front of Xiwei at this time was a strong man who could be called a macho man with his upper body.
In the midst of winter. He wore only a bare bare bare amount of fur, leaving his well-defined bronze muscles bare, giving a visual stunt that even Schwarzenegger did.
Although it also wears some armor, it is actually only a half-breastplate that resembles a heart shield and a shoulder armor that is purely decorative, and is more of a warrior's mark than armor.
He carried a quiver and a crude bow on his back, and in his hand he led a metal battle axe that was not very well made.
In addition, he wears a rusty helmet on his head, and half of his face peeking out from under the helmet is covered in scars.
Even so. can't hide the coldness and perseverance on his face.
It is worthy of legend. One of the most suitable races to become soldiers, if they can be given a set of armor with better magic resistance, then their combat effectiveness on the battlefield is probably far better than that of the best cavalry of humans.
After sighing in my heart. Sivi made a mage salute to the other party.
"I am a human traveling mage from afar. Hello powerful centaur warriors. ”
After saying hello. Sivi waited for the other party's next words.
After all, these guys can find themselves who suddenly appear on the grassland, so it's hard to guarantee that they have any special detection ability.
Then admit his identity as a magician first, and the remaining part of Sivi immediately made up a half-truth and half-truth lie in his heart. Just waiting for the other party to interrogate him, as long as he can deceive the other party, the rest depends on his meaning, whether it is asking for directions or something else, it is much more efficient than groping in the vast grassland by himself.
It's just that after saying that, the centaur leader didn't ask any questions for a while.
Sivi looked at the other party suspiciously, only to find that the other party was also looking at him with some doubt.
Stunned, an idea suddenly popped up in Xiwei's mind: Could it be that the guy in front of him was a half-ass, couldn't he understand what he said?
After all, what is the lingua franca of centaurs? Orc or earth language?
After thinking about it for a while, Sivi felt that if he suddenly came out of other languages, he might be able to claim the name of a spy or something, so he simply repeated what he had just said word by word.
This time, the other party finally understood.
"Come, you, what, to do?" The other man threw the tomahawk in his hand to the ground and spat out a few words.
It seems that this thing is really a half-ass, and he doesn't even know the grammar of Humen.
While mentally giving the centaur in front of him a half-baked name, Sivi began to make up a story of a human mage bravely entering the underground ruins, triggering the magic trap in it, and being teleported to this place according to what he had just thought.
It's just that when he said the story, he spoke a little faster, and the other party was stunned after speaking, so he had to retell it slowly.
But this time it's probably the proper nouns involved in the story, such as magic traps, prehistoric relics, and so on, so that even if you retell it, the other party still doesn't understand.
In this regard, Sivi scratched his head, and finally had to launch a ring of earth elemental magic 'clay tricks' and make a mud board. Then he used his wand as a paintbrush, and as he spoke, he drew pictures as if he were telling a story to a child, and finally made the other party understand what he meant.
When he first saw Sivi use magic, the centaur leader, who almost slashed directly with an axe, looked back and forth between the clay tablet and Sivi, and then said in a deep voice.
"Words, trust, no, I, human, to a great degree."
I guess it means, "I don't believe human words." After combining the other party's fragmented language, Sivi came to this conclusion.
"I'm sorry, I'll be leaving soon, but until then, can you tell me where this is and where it is on the mainland?"
After having the previous experience, this time Xiwei directly used his slowest speaking speed to speak clearly.
For some reason, it gave him a subtle feeling of going back to when he was still studying English on Earth......
"This is, new green, grassland."
It's rare that the other party's word order is finally right this time, which makes Xiwei feel quite relieved, but the other party's next words made him fall into a confused situation: "Natural Territory, Ward, Northwest, Chikozilika." ”
The natural territory can barely be used as a proper noun for place names, and the northwest is an approximate direction, but what are Ward and Chikochirika? Place names? Or is he introducing himself?
Unable to figure it out, Sivi simply asked again, "I'm sorry, can you tell me how far it is from Middle-earth?" ”
Just as the centaur leader frowned, as if he was about to say something to the unknown human in front of him, some of the centaurs on the periphery suddenly neighed like real horses. The face of the Terminator-like centaur leader in front of Sivi changed, and he shouted loudly in a language that Sivi had never heard of, but was still within the recognizable range of LV6 linguistics.
"All ready to retreat!" (To be continued......)
