Chapter 67: Gezhi (7)
Ecovacs did not blame Warman for his own decision, Warman was a loyal follower. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But the main reason is that there is no third person here who sees Warman pushing the translation down. So, the matter could end there, and all they needed to think about was how to concoct a reason to prevaricate the governor. Of course, it is indispensable to make up for the translator's family. After all, they were accompanied by Ecovacs to climb Perrymid. Not long after coming down, there was a dust storm in the distant place where heaven and earth met, and it was impossible to stay here for long. Behind them, a dust storm in the distance advanced rapidly, and the two climbed onto their camels and walked back. It didn't take long for them to notice something strange, and a thin line of dust rose on the way to the road, and Ecovacs picked up his binoculars and saw several people coming on camels. He could see clearly that it was the guide who had left first, and Warman thought they had come to meet the two after seeing the dust storm. However, Ecovacs disagreed, and the three men who came, armed with scimitars used by the locals, urged the camels to shake off their hooves and rush over. It's understandable to be fast, but do you need to be fully armed to respond? Ecovacs tells Warman to prepare, just in case.
Karim made two preparations this time, if the three Caucasian people who had to go to Parremid were not cursed and wiped out on the spot, then he would carry out the task given by the elders, kill them directly, and then find a sand dune to bury these pagan guys. If it was really as the elder said, Parimed used his magical power to eliminate the three offenders directly, Karim would have much easier trouble. At the moment, it seems that things are not as simple as he imagined, and the good eyesight he has cultivated since childhood, Karim sees three camels, but there are only two of them, which makes him a little strange. Maybe one of them had the hapless guy who had been killed by Paramide. Karim called the two behind him to draw their cutlass like him, ready to act on behalf of the gods represented by Perrymid, and kill these outsiders who dared to offend Perimide at will.
Corvus and Warman had come to see and climb Perimid this time, and they had their weapons with them. And even if he has a weapon, Corvus thinks that his swordsmanship is average, and Warman has not practiced much, how can he fight against the three people who have killed. If there is no dust storm, there is still a chance to escape and dodge. Ecovacs has no other choice but to face it head-on and act at the opportunity. The speed of the dust storm behind him far exceeded the running speed of the desert ship, and the dust storm was behind him, and Ecovacs hoped that the people on the other side would also turn their camels and flee after seeing the dust storm, but the other party had no intention of retreating. The loud noise of the dust storm can already be heard, and the dust storm will surpass the sound of itself, burying the five people and one corpse first.
Karim had long known from the elders that the dust storm was coming, and the elder, who had always wept and mourned, told Karim that according to the calculations of the season, the gods would come to the top of the Perimeds he had chosen on a ship like heaven above the dust storm to check whether his people were obeying his commands. Karim wondered in his heart that if the dust storm came, wouldn't they have gone and gone back this time. The elder probably calculated what he was thinking, his crying face turned violently, and his two lustless eyes stared at Karim, almost word for word, heroic Karim, you are a rare warrior in the tribe, and you are also a warrior who is one in a hundred, and the dust storm is the car of your patron saint, how can it hurt you? As he spoke, he gave Karim a bag with teeth in it, hung it around Karim's neck, and touched the top of Karim's head, not knowing what to say. Karim knew that this was Zhang Lai's warrior chanting a spell before giving the expedition to bless the warrior's return.
Since the Dust Storm is the Patronus' car, Karim and the others have nothing to worry about. At this moment, the only way to urge the camel to reach the two strangers as soon as possible and complete the task given by the elders as soon as possible. Just when the five people were about to come into contact, the dust storm also arrived, and it carried a large amount of dust and sand, making it difficult for the five people to walk an inch. Someone fell off a camel and soon disappeared. Karim began to doubt what the elder had said, and clutched the reins of the camel in his hand. Ecovacs was happy that someone on the other side was engulfed in the duststorm, and the rest of the guide and his entourage were entangled in the duststorm and had no chance to do anything. The worry is that he and Warman can't get out of the dust storm, and more importantly, they have lost their direction. Ecovacs began to regret that he had come here just out of curiosity, only to be caught in a dust storm.
The dust and sand particles kicked up by the dust storm miraculously stopped when the five people and the camels were almost buried. From the falling dust, an arc-shaped gray edge emerged, and I don't know what it belonged to. Warman then had the most energy to see this and fainted, what the hell was this. The owner, Ecovacs, was not far behind him, and it was estimated that he was almost buried. The gray edges were never fully exposed, in fact, because the dust storm had raised too many dust and sand grains, and before they all fell, the gray object disappeared again, only this time the departure lifted up the dust and sand again, and the thick dust covering Karim and Ecovacs, who had been covered, was swept away.
When he woke up, the setting sun was already shining a long shadow on the Parimedes not far away, looking like a thin blade piercing into the desert, pointing straight at the Parimedes in an arc. Ecovacs woke up almost at the same time as Karim, the guide directly opposite, Karim opened his eyes and looked at the outsider with a high nose and blue eyes on the other side, no matter what, he couldn't believe what the elder had just told him was that this outsider was also a descendant of God and could not kill him. But how did the elder come here, Karim looked around and confirmed his thoughts. The people who came with him were no longer breathing, and the seven orifices were stuffed with sand and dust. But both of them woke up. Karim still hadn't figured it out. He moved his legs and feet, patted the camel that had shaken off the sand from his body, and rode away wildly. He thought it better for him to ask the elder to come and see for himself, and he asked the elder to tell him to his face that this outsider was a descendant of God.
Ecovacs watched the guide go away, and after a short rest, he searched for the interpreter's body, but did not find it. He and Warman hastily buried the retinue of a guide who was not breathing, and rode back on their camels, reaching the governor in the middle of the night, when the sun went down in the desert, and it was very cold. Warman wrapped his clothes tightly, and even ended up wrapping the blanket under his buttocks, but Ecovacs never felt cold, on the contrary, he felt hot and dry after getting off Parimed. As we get closer to our homes, the heat gets better. As he was about to return to his lodgings, the Governor arrived in his carriage, and after a very sensational reproach of his performance, the Governor inquired about the interpreter. Ecovacs called Warman to explain, and handed Warman a color, though in the dim light, Warman nodded lightly to indicate that he had received it.
The Governor shrugged his shoulders in regret, but when Ecovacs offered to pay for the translator's family, the Governor had a relaxed look on his face. He Chen Zan Translator sacrificed himself on the way to work, and he was a respectable and good person. Ecovacs didn't bother to listen to the chatter of the Governor, a professional bureaucrat, he needed to take a shower and rest, and then think about what happened today. It wasn't until he sat in the bathtub with the warm bath water covering his body that Ecovacs felt that his soul had returned to his body from somewhere. It was supposed to be a dangerous encounter, but he escaped without realizing it. He didn't understand what the guide was doing, why he woke up and saw him who had just woken up and left in a hurry. Ecovacs picked up the mirror from the edge of the tub and looked at his face, wondering if he had been deformed again. A familiar figure appeared in the mirror, and Warman came over with a Corvus bathrobe on his arm, yes, just ask him. Warman was sure that he didn't see Corvacs deformed, and that Corvacs shared his doubts with Warman, who didn't say what he thought about the matter, but instead told Ecovacs about the gray thing he had seen before he fell unconscious. Judging by that arc, it's definitely a very big thing. It's just that this thing will come out of the dust storm. As he put on his bathrobe, Ecovacs said to Warman that this is what is often referred to as the apparition of God, and what you see is actually the edge of the wheels of the carriage in which God is riding? Warman smiled and said maybe, he asked God if he also rode in a carriage? If it is really a god, it is estimated that it is also a god who blesses the locals, how can he bless these two outsiders? Maybe this God is loving.
Karim returned to the tribe, rolled over and got off the camel, and without a minute of delay, rushed directly into the elder's tent, and saw the people around the elder. The elder sat on the blanket and was not breathing. No one knew when the elder had stopped breathing, so Karim didn't have a chance to ask the elder about the strange things that had happened to him. When an elder dies, according to the custom of the tribe, it is different from other people's burials. What the elders need is cremation. And it takes a warrior from the tribe to be eligible to send the elder on his last journey. Karim and the others carried the elder out and placed it on the wood and grass that had already been laid, and soon the fire that ignited consumed the elder's body. The crowd began to get down on one knee to send the elders. When he finally looked up at the Elder's body that had been engulfed in fire, Karim unexpectedly noticed that the Elder's body in the fire had changed, the length had become significantly larger, and the skeleton looked more and more weird. He originally wanted everyone to see what was going on, but the skeleton was burned to pieces by the fire, and how to look at it. Karim lowered his head, the question still in his mind.
Ecovacs wanted to ask the Governor where the guide had come from, but he learned that the interpreter had found it himself, and he didn't know. Ecovacs thought to himself that it must be someone from a nearby local tribe, and he would meet again if he had a chance in the future. The elder brother sent him a letter from faraway Bres, and the letter that had traveled thousands of miles across the ocean seemed to have the smell of seawater. In front of Warman, Ecovacs sniffed the letter and opened it carefully with a dagger. In the letter, the elder brother first told him about what had happened on the other side of the Atlantic, on the continent of Emerik. Ecovacs knew that the second-generation Brejan immigrants living on the continent of Emerik had begun to clamore for leaving Breez to establish a separate state. It is no wonder that these people are originally discriminated against and persecuted in Breez itself, and where can they talk about loving Breez. Ecovacs thought that his family might not be far away, and he had come to the continent of Emerik from Bris in the near future. However, it is difficult to explain why the elder brother was able to take charge of the government of Breez and make the king do what he said. Could it be that our ancestors crossed the Atlantic to the continent of Emerik just to start a new family business? Ecovacs thought, where did the rest of the family go? Why, apart from this elder and him, are there only a few black-skinned house slaves left in Emric's house?
The second thing my brother said in the letter was to ask him to go to a place on the continent of Philek, I don't know why, my brother drew several wavy lines with quills under this place name, was it to emphasize? The elder brother also gave the exact coordinates, and Ecovacs knew that in fact, the elder brother had been studying since he was a child, and when he grew up, he entered the political arena and had never been to any place other than Blist, how did he know the coordinates of this place. It's really doubtful that my brother had told him to come to this place. Looking down, the elder brother said that he sent Ecovacs this time because of a mission related to the origin of the family. Of course, there is also a very legitimate task, which is to open up the trade routes of the Brethren Empire to that place and establish commercial contacts with the tribes there. It was so serious, Ecovacs poured a glass of red wine, and said to Warman, we have a new mission. Warman, get a good night's sleep tonight, and start preparing tomorrow to go where the letter says.
The Governor still had the letter in mind, and the biggest problem was that he didn't know who the four-fingered messenger was. Drunk and relieved, he couldn't help but drink a few more sips, and before he had time to change his pajamas, he fell asleep on the bed. It wasn't until the middle of the night, when the earth shook and the mountains shook, that he woke up in a daze, and the bright light from the window penetrated into the room, and the governor couldn't see what it was. Suddenly, a slender thing came, and the Governor was dragged from the bedside to the center of the room, and a picture appeared on the opposite wall. The Governor of the tall buildings knew him, and his name was Perrymid. At first, he didn't see clearly what the black dot appeared on Perimed, but slowly he saw that it was three people, and then the top one changed. Tall, like a large standing lizard, the image scared the governor out of what was still left of his drinking. He rubbed his face and opened his eyes wide, and the two people below had changed, and one of them suddenly tumbled and fell down a dozen tall steps. The rest of the one went on to climb up. The man and monster who reached the top of Perimed, stayed for a moment, and then left there. The monster gradually fell from the top, and gradually changed back to its human form. The man looked this way, and the Governor saw a familiar face, and he was so frightened that he wanted to vomit, and he sat on the carpet with his chest clutched, not knowing when the picture on the wall had disappeared, and so on until dawn.
To get to the place his brother had requested, Ecovacs had to ask the Governor for help. After breakfast early in the morning, Ecovacs took Warman to the governor's mansion to explain his intentions. The Governor had not yet come out of his bedroom, and the servant replied that the Governor would not let them in, and Corvus waited a little and began to be a little anxious, as his brother had suggested in his letter, that there was not much time to go to that place, and that it was not clear what the coming year would be like if he missed it. Although he knew that it was very rude to rush the Governor to get up, he couldn't do so much at first. He knocked on the door of the governor's bedroom anyway, but there was no response.
