"What's your name?"

"Kuwa. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"White Hats don't know you've learned our language. ”

Gukua, that is, the Warrior of Strength, nodded: "I didn't tell him." ”

"Along the way, you don't hesitate to incite the explorers, you can't wait to come here, why?"

"As a warrior, you are indeed entitled to know this," Gukwa said, sitting cross-legged on the ground, "It's a long story. ”

"Then please hurry up. Magellan sighed and sat down as well.

"There was once an empire in the rainforest that belonged to the ancestors of our tribe. The destruction of the empire stemmed from the failure of a sacrifice. That's right, it is the warriors who pass through the path of the sun and join the sacrifice of the war against the evil gods. That defeat wiped out all the high priests, including the Great Shaman, and the empire without the power of the sun soon collapsed. ”

"That's what happened here, on this altar of the sun. Hundreds of years later, the temple collapsed and was buried underground, and the battle between the evil gods and the sun never saw the light of day. But there had to be a result in that battle, and that had to be a victory for the Suns. Our tribe never gave up, but we never found the temple buried underground. It wasn't until the White Hat came here that he inadvertently mentioned that you rainforest outsiders had a way to dig into the ground. Since then, I have been trying to spread rumors among your explorers in the hope of attracting those who are truly capable of finding the temple. ”

"Finally, I've got you. ”

"After that, you can wait until everything is ripe to perform the sacrifice, why do you have to come here during the first expedition, and even send the explorer to death?"

"They are blinded by the greed of their hearts, and it is not a pity to die. But if you don't hurry, the evil god will soon be able to absorb the nourishment, and the sun will definitely be defeated. ”

"You mean to say that the proximity of people with evil intentions will replenish the power of the evil gods?"

"That's right. And when the evil god defeats the sun, the whole world will not be spared. ”

"Isn't that alarmist? There's more to the world than this rainforest. ”

"Wherever there are people, the tentacles of the evil gods are within reach, and I don't know if there are other powerful forces of justice in some corner of the world, but at least my tribe, my sons and daughters, will not be spared. ”

Magellan frowned and sighed.

"I'll help you complete the sacrifice, but before you do that, tell me what you mean by sacrificing me and this noble lady?"

Magellan stared at the warrior in front of him, his face flashing with surprise, but instantly calmed down.

Literally. In fact, the real purpose of those trials that test the warriors is to select qualified sacrifices, and the warriors are the sacrifices. ”

"You want us to die?"

"Yes. This is what the sacrifice is really about, electing warriors with powerful souls, killing them, and letting their souls enter the realm of the sun to help the sun fight the evil gods. ”

"What if we don't want to die?"

"Then you can leave. Souls with resentment and attachment to the world of the living cannot resist the power of the evil gods, and will only become the power of the evil gods, which is contrary to the purpose of the sacrifice and has no meaning. That happened once, and we're not going to let it happen a second time. ”

"And how are you going to complete the trial?"

"There are three of us, who are extremely devout to the sun, steadfast in their hearts, and will not be tempted by evil gods. Although they have not been tried, they are undoubtedly true warriors. ”

"Hmph. That's really admirable, why, do you think you can go to heaven?"

"That has nothing to do with the afterlife. The greatest thing in the world is the sun," Gu Kua's face showed reverence, "only the River of Eternity can compare to it." Man's life is only an insignificant part in the river of eternity, the soul and destiny are eternal and infinite, and death is not the end, but the beginning. In the new life, I, we, all of us, will have a greater life. ”

With one index finger, Gukua drew a circle on the ground.

"Have a great journey," Magellan nodded and stood up, "we're going to take the Book of the Sun, okay?"

Gu Kua nodded, then spoke hesitantly, "Can you tell me how you understood our conversation?"

"In order to avoid the white hats, you are talking about a special grammar left over from the ancient empire that is basically unused. Unfortunately, what we find in the ruins is the writing left over from the ancient empire. ”

"That's impossible, you don't know which word to pronounce, how do you know what we're talking about?"

"Unfortunately, the writing of the ancient empire was not a primitive hieroglyph, but a highly developed alphabetic script. As long as you know the pronunciation rules of letters, you can know the pronunciation of all words. And your conversation with the white hat made me know the pronunciation of all the letters, and the rest is simple. ”

"Are you saying that you can listen to it and write down our pronunciations that don't make sense to you, and then mentally translate what Ron said into ancient words, and then compare the pronunciation with words? ”

"People are born different," Magellan pointed his index finger to his head, "and unfortunately, I did." ”

Gu Kua was silent for a moment and nodded: "The Book of the Sun is behind that small door, where the great shaman presides over the sacrifice. ”

Magellan nodded, but didn't move.

He stood there silent, as if hesitating about something.

"Your sacrifice will not succeed. ”

"Why?" even though he was denied, Gukua's face remained calm.

"Maybe you're enlightened and feel like your companions are just like you, but I'm sure to tell you, they're not ready. ”

For the first time, Gukwa was not so calm, and despair appeared on his face: "There is no other way, no one can force others to be enlightened. Even if I kill you, it will only add power to the evil gods...... It's too late, and even if there's only a 1 in 10,000 chance of success, I'll have to give it a try. ”

"What happens if you fail? I mean me and this honorable lady. Magellan looked a little absent-minded.

"You are the closest to the evil god, and you will probably become his puppets. ”

"You see, because if you fail, we will definitely be doomed, so we must do everything we can to make you successful. If you had told us earlier, you would have two more helpers. As for people, it's better to learn to be honest. ”

"Run, get out of here with the Book of the Sun. Perhaps you can escape to safety before the evil gods catch up with you. ”

"Unfortunately, the closest I know of that can fight the evil gods is in Loren, and I don't want to owe the Scientology group a favor. ”
