Chapter 39 A New Generation of Islanders
With Xu Yi's assassin, the first to react was Ruth, who fell asleep after lying down, followed by the few islanders outside who were cowering and wanted to sneak into the camp to steal some resources.
But without exception, at this time, in the same situation, two people who should have the same psychological fluctuations, or psychological fluctuations, are also afraid of their psychological activities at this time.
Calm as Ruth, he also felt a deep fear at this moment, at this time, the turmoil in the empire had just risen, and the tribesmen had just arrived at the border at this moment, and they found that there was an enemy attacking the camp at night, then, if it wasn't for the enemy to follow him from the beginning, then something must be wrong.
On the other hand, the fear of Akame and the others came from the fact that they knew very well, even very well, the gap between friend and foe, and they were no match in terms of both equipment and physical fitness.
The difference between the two sides is that after the same brief psychological turmoil, the fighters led by Ruth quickly got up, picked up the weapons they had put aside before going to bed and prepared to start fighting.
However, the Akame side was already panicking at this time, and they couldn't care about the resources of those carts, let alone thinking about burning the company camp, at this moment, life was more important than anything else.
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of a tiger that is awake, you are afraid of a tiger that has just woken up.
As soon as Ruth and the others left the tent, they saw a few people on the night watch, holding spears and looking like they were holding a few prisoners, walking towards them.
The battle, it seems, is over before it begins.
Just when Xu Yi lifted his pants, Akame and the others were all caught by a few people who kept vigil.
And Endo kept muttering to a few people around him in local dialect, "Don't resist, don't resist." ”
Seeing this, Ruth looked at a few people with interest, and the stone hanging in his heart was also slightly lowered, it seemed that it was not the pursuer of the empire.
When the soldiers of the night watch escorted several people in front of Ruth, some of the men in the other tents also came out yawning one after another.
"Are you native?" Ruth asked, after a moment's scrutiny.
When Akame and a few people heard this, you look at me, I look at you, but no one answered.
Seeing this, Ruth scratched his head, and then whispered to the people around him if there were any high-achieving students in the tribe who knew some foreign languages, or who had attended foreign language colleges before.
However, the answer, of course, is no.
This generation of island people has taken root here for dozens of generations, and the language used today is based on the original ancestral Chinese language, which has evolved from generation to generation.
It stands to reason that languages and cultures, unless there are major changes, are generally passed down from generation to generation, but these languages are no longer pure island Chinese.
Maybe the first generation of people who came to this continent still have the genes of a complete island country, or if they are a complete island country.
Then over time, from the third generation, these islanders, to a large extent, no longer consider themselves islands, they only think of themselves as locals, or call themselves people of such and such tribe by their local tribal name.
Since the third generation, that consciousness has begun to gradually blur, just like the Chinese who immigrated to the United States, the first generation of overseas Chinese, regardless of their nationality, they are all Chinese, but the second and even the third generation, they fundamentally think of themselves as Americans.
What's more, the people of this archipelago have been living here for a long time, and fundamentally, their island culture may not have been well inherited from the inhabitants of previous generations.
After all, when the first generation of islanders came to this continent, the first problem they faced was not how to establish their own country on this continent, perhaps after a short period of confusion or rejection of the reality that had already happened, their priority was how to survive.
Everything that accompanies the strange continent is new, whether it is in terms of the way of life or eating habits, everything can only be explored again.
In a sense, Akame's generation of island people, their original island civilization is already a myth or legend.
Their current tribal civilization and way of life are the first and second generations of island people who came to this continent, and they re-explored, from what food can be eaten, where large dinosaurs are more dangerous, where there are fewer carnivorous dragons, etc., summed up the experience and passed it down from generation to generation.
In other words, the Ark Continent may not be as simple as imagined, and the historical tribes may have been rooted here for hundreds of years, but in general, the history of these major countries has only been recorded in the last few decades to a hundred years.
However, all this is incomprehensible or incomprehensible to the current Russ.
