Chapter 125: Meeting
The inner city of the Fish Tribe has a total of three gates, one facing the residential area of outsiders, and the other two are open to the two residential areas of the Fish Tribe.
And now, at the gate that opened in the area where outsiders lived, the atmosphere was a little wrong, and it was very different from before.
I saw that on the spacious and clean long rocky street, there were all the elite warriors of the fish tribe standing on both sides, and each of them was holding their heads high and their expressions were solemn. Some of them had already recognized their identities, the personal guards of the leaders of the Fish Tribe, the best warriors selected from the entire Fish Tribe.
Those who knew their identities were very surprised by this situation, knowing that these warriors would not normally be seen at all, let alone appear as a welcome party.
You know, the last time you saw this situation was when the Fish Tribe and the Tooth Tribe reached a reconciliation, and their leader visited the Fish Tribe station. Now that the Fish Tribe has sent them again, who is it to welcome this time? Is there another tribe as powerful as the Tooth Tribe to visit?
The midday sun, like a huge blazing furnace, hung high in the blue sky, directly scorching the vast land and shining on the warmth of these strong warriors.
In such a hot weather, none of the warriors who were fighting in battle left their positions to stay in the shade, or built some shade for themselves to avoid the scorching sun, and even the uniform animal skin clothes on their bodies did not appear to be the slightest different because of the weather.
When the breeze blew, the originally hot air turned into a rolling heat wave, which rushed towards the city like a tide, and soon enveloped every pedestrian in the street, and also pulled the huge tribal flags erected everywhere. There are many tribes here who stay here, just like the embassies and consulates that Su Ming knew in the previous life.
At this time, Su Ming and Hei'er were standing in front of these warriors, and behind them, there were Fire Tribe warriors who followed them together, about sixty people.
They were now like the guards opposite, lined up in a neat array, like wooden stakes, standing quietly behind Su Ming and them, without superfluous movements or words, but giving people an indescribable invisible pressure.
Although they held all kinds of weapons in their hands, and the clothes on their bodies were not very uniform, the terrifying aura of savage beasts that was unintentionally revealed on their bodies made everyone who saw them directly look at the temperament exuded from them, and automatically ignored the weapons and clothes in their hands.
In the crowd, a huge flag of the Fire Tribe was held tightly in Hei Er's hand, and it kept rolling on the flagpole with the continuous surge of the huge heat wave, but the flagpole with the flag remained motionless in Hei Er's hands.
Su Ming's intention to come this time had already been announced to the upper echelons of the Fish Tribe through the guards in front of the city gate, and they were now waiting for their reply.
The purpose of the Fire Tribe's arrival is different from that of other tribes, they are not here to trade, nor to ask for help, but to visit the Fish Tribe, and there is not much entanglement of interests between the two sides, this is a pure cultural and cultural exchange.
Although such visits and exchanges cannot immediately bring substantial benefits to the fish tribe, it can be seen that the corresponding reception specifications are much higher than other exchanges.
Su Ming was also very convinced, the high-level of the Fish Tribe should know about them, as well as the purpose of their arrival, because the group of energetic and high-spirited elite soldiers in front of him is the best embodiment. And Hei Er has also inquired clearly, the time was a day ago, and this city gate was not such a scene.
"Lord Su Ming, our priest and the leader have an invite, please come with me. Not long after, from inside the huge city gate hole, a warrior from the Fish Tribe quickly ran out, came straight to Su Ming and them, and respectfully invited them to enter the inner city.
"Okay, then I'll bother you, please lead the way. With that, Su Ming and Hei Er began to march in a line, and under the guidance of this warrior, they slowly entered the gate leading to the inner city of the Fish Tribe.
But as soon as they walked out of the city gate, they saw a large group of people from the fish tribe waiting quietly behind the doorway.
And they took the lead in two very special people, the kind of people who, in the crowd, can make everyone who comes in notice them at the first time. Because they were dressed very specially, not at all the various animal skins that most people wear, but a kind of fine clothing of the color of fish scales.
After coming in, of course, Su Ming noticed it for the first time, they were so special that people couldn't pay attention to them. Su Ming took a closer look at their clothes, and a touch of excitement suddenly appeared in his heart, it turned out that the material of the woven clothes was a delicate silk thread like silk.
And the shape of that kind of clothing is not as simple and practical as ordinary animal skin clothes, but it is crossed over the right side of the collar and wide sleeves. When he saw it for the first time, Su Ming's reaction instantly appeared in his mind: Could it be that there are other traversers here?
"Haha, welcome Lord Su Ming of the Fire Tribe, come to our Fish Tribe for a visit and exchange, here, the leader of my Fish Tribe, Yu Hong, on behalf of the Fish Tribe, expresses the warmest welcome to the arrival of the Fire Tribe. ”
As soon as Su Ming and the others walked out of the city gate, one of the two sturdy men dressed like silk took the lead in walking out of the crowd to welcome Su Ming and them.
"The leader is polite, on this hot day, how can you drive the lord to come out in person, with this brother and soldier leading the way, we can go directly. Seeing such a situation, Su Ming also hurriedly greeted him, he didn't expect that these people from the Fish Tribe would show such enthusiasm and respect for their arrival, which made Su Ming feel a little unreal for a moment.
"Okay, since Lord Su Ming has arrived, let's go to the council hall to talk together, to be honest, I am full of expectations for the arrival of the Fire Tribe, we really want to know about the Fire Tribe. As he spoke, Yu Hong took Su Ming and them towards the council hall not far away, and the originally calm crowd also began to move slowly.
On the way to the council hall, Yu Hong and Su Ming kept introducing their important clansmen in the crowd, so that everyone could quickly get acquainted with each other. These are the captain of the warriors, those are in charge of production, and there is their priest, that is, another person wearing special costumes - Yu Heng, the personnel of the two sides continue to know each other, and the atmosphere gradually becomes harmonious for a while.
After introducing the personnel, Yu Hong also introduced the buildings along the way, the inner city of the fish tribe is still very large, and it is not only the council hall, they also have temples, military camps, weapon workshops, etc., all kinds of functional buildings.
It didn't take long for Su Ming and the others to come to the door of the Fish Tribe Council, their walls were still like all the city walls, and the walls of the council hall were all made of large blocks of rock.
It can be clearly seen that the surface of these rocks has been polished very flat and smooth, and there are many decorative and beautiful patterns painted on them, giving people a pleasing feeling.
And on the two huge pillars at the door, Su Ming also saw that it was even full of reliefs carved like fish scales, and the layers were not only very good-looking, but on the door of the council hall, this was a huge fish head with a large open mouth, and the dense teeth in its mouth were clearly visible, which added some solemnity and solemnity to the council hall.
Walking on the rocky steps of the council hall, Su Ming finally couldn't help it, turned his head to Yu Hong and said, "Leader Yu Hong, your clothes are really good-looking, who in your tribe made this?"
This question has been held in Su Ming's heart since he saw him, and now he finally can't hold it anymore, and he asks Yuhong about it.
"Haha, you see, I knew that Lord Su Ming would eventually be tempted to ask, no one can ignore the charm of this dress. But alas, this dress was not made by our tribe itself, but we came through trading, which was obtained from the super tribe. ”
Hearing Su Ming's words, Yu Hong was also very happy, he and the priest came out in this dress, constantly to show their identity and status, but also to show the strength and relationship of their tribe.
"Moreover, the super tribe is also a very valuable commodity, and the annual output is not much, less than fifty pieces. I've heard that the main reason is that the materials are so difficult to collect, that they generally wear them themselves, and they generally don't use them for trade.
And we were able to get these two clothes, it was because of their many years of friendship with our fish tribe, and they finally took them out and traded them to us. ”
"Oh, it came from a super tribe. That's a pity, I was just thinking that if it was produced in the Fish Tribe, I would also make a few of these clothes, and when the time comes, I will wear them back to the tribe, and also open the eyes of the other tribesmen of the Fire Tribe, but now it seems that this wish is impossible to come true. ”
After hearing Yu Hong's answer to the origin of the clothes, Su Ming couldn't help but feel disappointed in his heart, after all, the person who made such clothes might be a person from the same place as himself.
