Chapter 2: Poor Mountains, Bad Waters, and Monkeys (2)
Isabella walked over, carefully examined Yupanqui's wounds, and said, "Leave the monkey alone, don't move, I'll treat you." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Yu Panji was very depressed: "Don't say anything about treatment, such a wound, your right hand will definitely not be saved." It's a pity that I can't participate in the Holy Crown War!"
Isabella frowned: "What kind of Holy Crown War, is it more important than your healthy body?"
"Of course, every year from late autumn to early spring, we make offerings to the sun god. The Sun God is our patron saint and the god of abundance, and the hope of our survival! The War of the Holy Crown is to prepare for the sacrifice of the Sun God. That is the most effective way for us to please God with a fierce battle and to ask God for His blessings for His people!"
Riley muttered, "Sounds like a ceremony held by their king to boost the morale of the people." It's probably a bit like the jousting tournament of our mercenary union, right? For a soldier, breaking a hand is definitely worse than killing him. ”
Isabella nodded, looked at it closely, and exclaimed, "This claw was so ruthless just now, it cut off all the radial bones!
As she spoke, Isabella began to chant the recovery spell, and her injured arm quickly recovered, and in less than a cup of coffee, it looked like her arm was intact.
Yupanki and his men were dumbfounded: "A miracle, this is a miracle!"
"It's just a healing spell. It will take time for the newly grown bones and the existing fractures to fully merge, so don't fight anymore these days. Once it splits again, it will be troublesome," Isabella added, seeing Yupanki's disapproving look, "For the same wound, the effect of the treatment will get worse and worse. We won't be here for long. ”
What Isabella means is not to think that healing can take care of the world, and let it recover naturally. But Yupanki apparently didn't think so, saying: "Tomorrow it's time for me to play, it's the opportunity I've been longing for for a lifetime." After tomorrow, it doesn't matter if the hand is broken. ”
Seeing his resolute attitude, Isabella had no choice but to say: "Then you have to pay attention to the situation of your right hand at all times, and if you feel something strange, don't force it." ”
"Thank you again for your generosity, and to tell you the truth, all those who know this kind of spell will not cooperate with us. Only you are so magnanimous. ”
"You have won the prize, so take it as a reward for your tolerance and kindness. ”
Yupanki straightened up and said, "I don't know how long you will stay in Inesque, if you have time tomorrow, do you want to go and see the Holy Crown War together?" It's not long, it's only one day. If you can stay an extra week, you can participate in the carnival celebration. If you can stay for about 10 days, you will be able to see the sacred ritual of worshiping the sun god with your own eyes. ”
Duck and George agreed to meet on January 4th, but now it's only January 2nd. Duck thought about it for a while, and felt that instead of waiting for a day, it would be better to walk around and learn about the customs. So he nodded and said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for ten days, two or three days is about the same, we can go and see the Holy Crown War." ”
Yupanki was very happy and said: "That's great, I have military affairs now, and I can't accompany you more." When you get to Inesque, someone will come looking for you. We look forward to seeing you again. ”
Everyone waved goodbye, and Yupanki and his party disappeared into the dense forest on the shore.
As the ship continued to move, Duck called the owner and asked, "Who is this Yupanki?"
"Sabertooth Tiger Warrior, the most powerful defender of the jungle. To become a saber-toothed tiger warrior, you must go through a rather brutal trial and be able to capture at least 20 captives in the Holy Crown War to qualify. Yupanki is the elite here, and he has been at the top of the Holy Crown War Warrior List for two consecutive years, and it can be said that he is a household name. If he can win again this time, he can participate in the sacrifice ceremony to the sun god, it will be a supreme honor!"
Isabella asked with interest, "This Holy Crown War, does it sound like a fierce competition?"
The owner smiled: "You are from Doland, and you don't know anything about us. I'll tell you from the beginning, if you don't think I'm an old man nagging. ”
The Holy Crown War was no ordinary war, somewhat similar to Doland's knightly joust. Before the start of the war, the two sides agree on the time, place, and scale of the battle. Team battles are fought by an equal number of elite fighters selected by both sides.
During the fighting, both sides were forbidden to use long-range projectile weapons, and could only fight each other with the same flat, thick, wooden clubs with sharp obsidian blades, known as mukawittes. The outcome is determined by the number of prisoners captured alive.
Hearing this, Duck pondered: "So, if you rush up and kill the other party, you will be judged to lose because you can't catch enough prisoners?"
The shipmaster replied: "Yes, so the key is to knock the enemy unconscious without killing it, which requires considerable combat skill, the victor is the star, the state gives him a certificate of glory and gold, and all his relatives and friends can be rewarded with great value." ”
"What about the losers?"
The owner of the ship shook his hand again and again: "No, no, no, if you simply kill for fun, isn't it worse than a beast?" After the celebration, join the victors in the Sun God Sacrifice Ceremony. ”
Duck laughed: "Then there must be a loser who is greedy for life and afraid of death, right? For example, pretending to be sick and pretending to be crazy or something? This should always be killed, right?"
The owner of the ship laughed: "It's not nothing." But what is the use of killing, we have a more cruel punishment than killing - a 'crown of cowardice' sewn from the fur of a rat and put it on him, so that everyone will know his 'bravery', and let him spend the rest of his life in shame and ridicule of others. ”
Isabella said enviously: "This is really a civilized battle!"
Riley asked, "Who are the two warring parties?"
The owner of the ship said: "On one side is our Atlas, and on the other side is the Alliance of Hundred Nations. The so-called Hundred Kingdoms are just some tribes large and small, and if it weren't for the Holy Crown War, they would have been wiped out long ago. Are you going to see it? I can put you in touch with an interpreter. Not everyone speaks Dolan here, and sometimes Dolan can get into trouble. We're almost there, so you're packing up and getting ready to disembark. ”
The three thanked the owner and went back to their cabins, and as soon as Duck pushed the door in, he heard Isabella and Riley screaming!
Duck hurriedly ran to the next door and saw that the cabin was full of messes and his luggage was turned into a mess.
"What's the matter, there's a thief on board, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, just be fine!"
Riley pointed to the crushed rusk jar and said, "I didn't lose the money, except for the food, it's fine!"
"Food?"
Isabella pointed to the crumbs of bread on the ground and said, "It looks like they came in through the window, and they ate a big meal and took the rest with them." Looking at the scratches on this railing, could it be the big monkey again?"
Duck said helplessly: "What kind of monkey is this? Why are you staring at us? Forget it, clean up and get off the boat!"
