Chapter 684: Oracle
Even if they are shamans of other tribes, as long as the two sides do not go to war. That is, if the gods have not agreed to war, blaspheming the sorcerers of other tribes will also be a taboo not to be violated! Because the shaman is the voice of the gods in the tribe!
Even the leader of the clan did not dare to show favoritism, because if the leader wanted to protect his warriors. The sorcerers of both tribes are sick and sympathetic, which is tantamount to offending the sorcerers of their own tribe. It's as if you slap the other wizard in the face in a non-war situation, your own wizard will also feel that this is an insult to the wizard class!
Therefore, the leader of the tribe looked coldly at Ulmsin who was sitting on the ground, and said to Zhang Fan: "He is your slave, you can dispose of him at will!" ”
Zhang Fan directly crushed the seemingly very powerful electric fireball with his hand, which left a deep impression on him, this young man, who seems to be weak, is probably also a very powerful warrior!
In fact, the thunder fireball that Zhang Fan pinched and exploded seemed to be mighty, but in fact it was already at the end of the crossbow, and it didn't have much power. Moreover, this Assyrian giant with rough skin and thick flesh and high blood length did not suffer much damage except for the temporary inability to move after being paralyzed. In Zhang Fan's eyes, this guy's physical strength is still in the very healthy range, but he was beaten by Akon and looked a little ugly.
Zhang Fan and Akon are just accepting it when they see it, if they really want to fight, they don't know who will kill the deer. But if everyone cooperates with the attack, as long as any of the three girls make a move, this guy will die.
Zhang Fan looked back at the giant man Ulmsin, who was already trembling with fright. I couldn't say a complete sentence in my mouth, and I didn't have the invincible heroism when I just popped out! He watched as the little wizard walked towards him viciously, and he had a strange bladed short knife that looked like the sharp claws of some monster, which was meant to bleed himself. Or peeling? There are countless ways for wizards to make their lives worse than dead......
Ulmsin screamed in despair and passed out......
That night, the clan leader invited Zhang Fan's team to a banquet, on the one hand, because his own clan desecrated the other party's wizard, and the leader set up a banquet to apologize. On the other hand, he also wanted to win over this group of powerful foreigners......
Zhang Fan's team members naturally didn't have much interest in the crude food here and the proposal of the clan leader, but fortunately, some of these foods turned out to be gray or blue supplies, and everyone naturally laughed. I've already consumed some of my food along the way, and I need to replenish it urgently. After a full meal, there was a usual ramp-around around the campfire.
The sorcerer of the tribe also brought a few assistants and danced a dance to the gods, and the party reached its climax. Zhang Fan and his companions grabbed a large amount of food and staggered to the tent arranged by the clan leader to rest. The giant man named Ulmsin was chained to the door of the tent by Akon and casually threw him some food, and this guy picked up a life, and was panicking himself.
Late at night, a figure sneakily approached the tent where Zhang Fan's team was located. Outside the tent, Ulmsin was already snoring in fright. The figure gently flipped open the edge of the tent and rolled in......
But no sooner had the figure entered the tent than he was stabbed around the neck with a sharp blade. There is a night owl in Zhang Fan's team who specializes in assassination. A dim light from the oil lamp lit up, and in front of her was a tribal woman with a sackcloth covering her face. There was a hint of fear and hope in her eyes......
"Who are you? What do you want to do? Akon asked.
The book demon translated the past, but the woman directly said a series of syllables in her mouth, which sounded so familiar, the book demon was shocked when she heard it, "She is a woman from China!" ”
"Then weishenme, we don't understand her?" Akon was confused.
Zhang Fan smiled: "Do you think that the words of ancient China should be the same as now?" Even if it is the same word, the pronunciation in ancient times is very different from today! Besides, this is still ancient times. ”
"You mean tongues?"
"It's not a dialect, even if it's the same place, the same word, the pronunciation is different, and the meaning is not necessarily the same. Especially since this is still an ancient era, it is even more incomprehensible! Zhang Fan explained.
Akon still didn't quite understand, "Since she is an ancient human in the Chinese region, she should be in the same camp as us, and the scene should be translated by default?" weishenme……”
Zhang Fan groaned: "I think it's because this tribe is different from our camp, so I still need a book demon translation." This woman is supposed to belong to this clan now, so the scene doesn't support translation languages yet. In ancient times, the Assyrians who belonged to the Semitic tribe fought everywhere and expanded their territory, but they clashed with many later civilizations, but Zuihou was destroyed by Babylon! The leader of this tribe also seems to be a little suspicious of us, and the scene is based on this factor, reminding us that we are in a state of hostility. ”
Akon nodded, and then asked the book demon, "What did she say?" ”
On the parchment page in front of the book demon, a series of ancient Chinese characters emerged, Zhang Fan knew some, it was oracle bone inscription, and it should belong to the earliest oracle bone inscription, the kind that has not yet broken away from the shackles of pictorial images and formed formal characters. However, it seems that the book demon has not yet sorted out the language of ancient Chinese oracle bone inscriptions, after all, the Vatican's 'confidential archives' rarely have these ancient Chinese scripts. So the book demon only recognizes a few words. If he could go to China and get a large number of oracle bone scripts, then he could infer this language in the same way as the cuneiform script of the ancient Assyrians here.
So, it's a lot of trouble. The woman did not seem to know the ancient Assyrian language. Maybe they just joined, or they were captured. But seeing her hurriedly break into the tent where everyone was resting, there must be an important message to transmit. And the scene never does boring things, which means that this is also a test of the scene, and the exchange of language is probably no less than a battle!
Zhang Fan and the book demon had to mark some oracle bone characters they knew on the ground for the woman to identify. Akon prayed that the woman knew how to read, but there were very few people in ancient times who could read. In some primitive tribes, most of them were tribal leaders and wizard elders who had the ability and right to write words!
Fortunately, this woman knows words, but the words drawn by Zhang Fan are not very standardized, at least not in line with the writing method of ancient humans, because Zhang Fan's oracle bone inscription is already a more standardized kind in the later period.
After some war-like exchanges, it finally became clear that this woman had no malicious intent. She should have heard that Zhang Fan's language was very similar to the language of her homeland, and her appearance was similar, so she recognized that Zhang Fan's team was from her hometown. That's why I came to inquire all night.
Who knows, even human beings in the same area cannot communicate in language. The book demon was not discouraged, and the thousand-year-old loneliness made him and Zhang Fan very calm and patient. He urged the woman to write more words, even entire texts. This woman is tired, this is even harder than Wei Xi's overnight code!
But the book demon and Zhang Fan reveled in the ancient words, and as a large number of words were mastered by the book demon, the pronunciation and pronunciation were slowly deciphered by the book demon, and the meaning of more words became clearer and clearer. But by this time, the sky had already dawned, and the woman left a text and left in a hurry. The book demon recorded this text in the book, and repeatedly cracked the mystery. Maybe the next time, when the woman reappears, the book demon will be able to reluctantly translate......
With this Chinese woman with a mysterious origin here, Zhang Fan Aken is not in a hurry to leave. But the three women of Green Wing Yaoji and Dark Sakura are here, and there will always be trouble, after all, the men here are used to treating women as objects. Therefore, in order to avoid causing trouble, Zhang Fan asked them and Satsuma to leave the tribe first. Zhang Fan himself and Akon continued to wait to communicate with the woman. Or find a way to buy her better. She's a compatriot, too.
Zhang Fan and Akon found the clan leader, and the two sides first chatted with the sea and the sky, and the clan leader mentioned the matter of letting Zhang Fan's team join. Generous conditions were also promised, which were nothing more than herds of cattle and sheep, herds of women, and large tracts of land. Zhang Fan Aken pretended to be a little tempted, but his eyes swirled on the woman beside the clan leader.
The leader immediately understood what the two men meant, and he smiled knowingly as his fellow believers. Hurriedly pushed over a few sturdy women around him, these women were his favorites, and they were in good health and strong. I'm bleeding profusely!
Zhang Fan Aken thought of the meaning of this leader, and looked at these three big and five thick women, and almost vomited. The aesthetics of these ancient people were probably based on robustness. Just like cattle and sheep, thin women are prone to illness and have poor reproductive ability, so they are not favored. But this guy, looking at the eyes of the Green Wing Yaoji and the Dark Sakura Three Girls, is it not that he doesn't understand modern aesthetics?
The green wing is tall, that's okay, of course, this can't let this female Shura know. Dark Sakura and Yao Ji, but they are both Lori well-behaved, especially Yao Ji, the small body of the night elves, slender and lovely, how can it fit the female aesthetics of these cows pushed over by the leader of this clan?
Zhang Fan didn't want to know, he pointed to the woman from the Chinese region at the feet of the tribal leader, "This woman is very similar to the woman over there, I like it." ”
The tribal leader hesitated, although this woman was of unknown origin, she knew how to write, although those strange words, neither he nor the learned wizard knew them, but it could not be denied that this woman had an extraordinary origin. I don't know which tribe's priest, or the princess of a certain city-state, can be exchanged for a large number of cattle and sheep land!
