Inuit
"Whew!"
I felt a cold wind blow in the back of my head.
Just when I was holding the bear cub and my cute heart was overflowing. The she-bear, who had been hunting outside, returned to her nest and beckoned me as soon as she looked at the door of the bear's paws.
"Oh no! I actually ignored this big guy. ”
Since the greatsword is too swaggering, and it is quite physically demanding to use, I kept it in the bottomless bag and never took it out, and the only thing I could use at this time was the single-edged sword fixed to my waist.
While shouting badly, he touched the single-edged short sword at his waist.
Throw away the bear cub in your hand, support the ground with one hand, exert force at the same time with your waist and legs, and instantly stand upside down.
The she-bear's paws landed right where I had been, and her sharp front paws were only millimeters away from my chest.
Before the enraged she-bear could strike the next blow, she re-exerted her strength from her waist and struck two whip legs at the polar bear's head. After that, he immediately relayed the distance, stood up straight with a somersault, and made a defensive gesture with a short sword behind his right hand. That's when I had time to observe the big guy.
The big guy in front of him is no different from the polar bear of the Earth era, if I have to point out the difference, it is probably much larger than the latter.
The white bear also seemed to realize that the person on the other side was very dangerous, and after taking two tentative steps a few times, he stepped back back.
And I'm also amazed at the solidity of this hairy guy, I used nearly seventy percent of my strength for those two whip legs just now. If it were another animal, the head would have been kicked to pieces, and it would still be as if it were now.
"Whoosh"
Just as the two of us were glaring at each other and "playing", three feathered arrows hit the white bear's chest one after another. The big guy just struggled for a moment, and then fell to the ground with a bang. A whole white mist instantly rose from the ground, and the body and limbs of the white bear were slowly covered with a thin layer of white frost.
In the distance, three short men in animal skins, each in their own right, remained in the same posture as they were shooting arrows. A sleigh was parked next to them, and dozens of hounds similar to Erha were obediently staying in place.
When one of them saw the white bear fall to the ground, he put away his bow and arrows, jumped on the sleigh in a hurry, and roared, and the sled dogs all pulled the sled and galloped towards me.
It's just that this guy seems to have forgotten that he has two companions.
"Chirp...... "On the flat and vast snowfield, sledding is like walking on the ground....... The remaining two couldn't help but curse a few words, and then hurried towards this side as well, fortunately not too far away. Otherwise, they would be tired to death, and they would not catch up with the sled.
"Ulla...... Ula ......: "The sleigh circled around me and the fallen white bear, and the sled driver shouted at me.
I tilted my head and said that I couldn't understand a word.
The two people who caught up behind stopped their steps, held on to the handle of the sled, and shouted breathlessly, "Bruru, we won't take you out next time." ”
After breathing steadily, the two took off their animal skin hoods.
"Eldest sister, is the prey of this time mine? I shot the first arrow. The boy named Brulu didn't care about the other party's reproach, but he seemed to care more about the ownership of the white bear.
"Rude guy, you'll have to ask if they're willing. The other boy standing with the eldest sister wrinkled his nose a little unpleasantly.
In his opinion, it is definitely not easy for a person who can hunt bears alone in the wasteland. All the way to this side, I kept observing this little girl who was hunting bears alone.
He was about the same age as his own, but his weapon was only a short blade. Such a person, if not absolutely powerful, is an absolute insane.
If I knew that my unintentional actions could make this guy think so much, I guess I would have laughed and cried at the time.
Hearing the young man's words, the three of them looked at themselves in a daze at the same time.
Since I couldn't understand their conversation at all, I was thinking about whether to grab a tongue first, so that the problem of getting lost would be solved.
I really don't know if if the other party can chat so easily if they know what I'm going to do.
The girl who changed to the eldest sister seemed to see that I was not a local. Judging by the look on my face, she thought I might be angry that they had robbed me of my prey.
So, the girl said in a blunt continental language, "I'm sorry, we robbed you of your prey." ”
"Hey!"
It's a lingua franca, that's much easier, and I'm still worried about how to communicate.
Seeing that I didn't speak, the girl thought I was really angry, so she could only continue,
"My name is Selena, the one next to me is Garland, and the little one over there is called Bruru. ”
Garland nodded respectfully at me when she heard Selena introduce him. Bruru, on the other hand, didn't care, as if he only cared about the bear.
"If you don't mind, you can come with us to the village for a short rest, and we may apologize for our recklessness. ”
Well, since they said that, it saved me a lot of trouble.
He nodded in agreement.
After working with the three of them to help the bears to the sleigh, I pulled the three cubs out of their burrows.
Cubs that have lost their mothers survive in the wild, so it might as well try their luck in a human town, perhaps......
The three of them were also excited when they saw the bear cub, one of them hugged one, and shouted in dialect that they wanted to take it back and raise it for themselves. Of course, there are free translations, and Selena will always translate them to me word for word.
Sure enough, they're all children!
Because of the appearance of the bear cub, the distance between each other was instantly shortened, and there was constant laughter and laughter along the way.
From Selena I learned that they were the natives of the Polar Regions, replaced by Inuit. Because of external factors such as severe temperatures and cold, the people of their ethnic group are naturally very short and have lush hair all over their bodies (in my opinion, they are similar to the wild people of Changbai Mountain), both men and women.
Because the people here still maintain primitive living customs, the people of this ethnic group have little contact with the outside world, and even the citizens of the Principality of Belmar rarely come here.
According to the local custom, the hunter who shoots his prey first, and the fur of the prey is at his disposal. And the reason why Brulu insists on the ownership of the white bear is because he wants to use the white bear's fur to make a gift for his sister who is about to celebrate her birthday.
For someone like me who is seriously controlled, this kind of thing is, of course, to be an adult. Hearing Selena mention this reminded me of Yani. He said to himself, "I don't know what this guy has been up to lately." ”
As for why Selena speaks the lingua franca, it is her father.
There were a lot of topics along the way, so time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, the outline of a small town came into view.
