Chapter 358: Old treacherous and cunning
"The guard said, you just want to ask me a question?" In the empty stone castle, Aaron walked in unhurriedly, his shadow thin and long through the narrow window.
Eric, who was originally enthusiastic, was a little nervous at this time, and for the first time since he was born, he entered the majestic palace. He swore that he had never seen such a large dwelling, and on the way to be escorted by the guards, he even wondered how many cattle and sheep could be raised in such a large courtyard. He had never seen so many gorgeous clothes, so many big people, so many beautiful girls...... He found that his eyes were becoming insufficient, and his heart was becoming less and less courageous.
Most people who are born poor will inevitably be bent by power for a while, but a true warrior will quickly straighten up......
"I ...... I want to ask......" Eric said resignedly.
"Pop ......" A vine spawned out of thin air, pumping Eric away, but it was obviously not seriously injured, only a warning.
"When you see me, I'll say it first—Lord Great Sage!" Aaron said lightly.
"Ya...... Lord Aaronven......"
"Smack...... Be respectful in tone and sincere in your attitude!" Aaronwen's voice was cold and without the slightest emotion.
Dawn watched all this happen, and he knew that Aaron was not showing off or psychopathic, it was a means of taming the beast, and the family also used this way to tame the servants they first met. Use this dark psychological cue to plant a seed of awe in their hearts, so as to ensure that it will be used smoothly in the future.
"Lord Aaronwen, I just want to know, those who eat ...... What will the tribe do with the giant who killed my father?" Eric stubbornly raised his head, a hint of unyielding wildness flashing in his eyes. At this time, Gangtua was still a tribal system, and although it had the rudiments of a kingdom, it did not yet have the strength to establish a state.
As a druid, Aaron had dealt with wild beasts for many years, how could he not understand the meaning of such a look. He frowned, "How the tribe handles, how can a subordinate like you know!"
"My father was killed according to the Tribe's blood revenge law, and the tribe is obligated to provide me with all the clues to the enemy!" Eric replied eloquently. The earliest laws of mankind often began with blood for blood and tooth for tooth, and no one could stop the righteous thing in the world of revenge for blood relatives, even if it was the same race. This kind of tribal law or clan rule is the most basic thing for a primitive tribe to unite the people, and no one can disobey it.
Aaron was silent, which made him feel tricky. I thought that the giant cannibalism incident would be in the past, because no one dared to take revenge on the giant. But now that this young man has brought it up, he must give a clear response on behalf of the Guntua officials.
A ......knock on the door came from outside, and Aaron gave Eric an annoyed glare, turning to go out.
"Great Sage, the people outside have heard about Eric, and I hope you can give them a satisfactory answer!" said a tribal elder who stood outside the door with a little humility, a little apprehensive. The people besieged the Elder's Hall, which was something that had never happened before.
"I see, I'll give them an answer soon!" Aaron replied coldly, then turned and re-entered the main hall.
"I have to say, you've got me in a lot of trouble!" Aaron said, "I have a lot of ways to deal with you, for example, if you're an Assassin who was bought by the wanderers...... Then I'll hang you outside the gate!"
"Wanderer......" Eric had apparently heard the term for the first time.
"Oh, a bunch of old stubborns who think we shouldn't have migrated, that I'm going against the will of my mentor......" Aaron said disdainfully, "Oh, clowns who don't think we should be on our own. Never mind...... It's too far away from you!"
Eric looked directly at Aaronwen, but his heart was already in favor of what the wanderers were doing. He didn't know who Aaronwen's mentor was, but he knew that although his life seemed peaceful now, he liked it more than he used to be when he and his father were hunting seals.
"But I've decided to open up to you and talk to you openly!" Aaronwen's tone suddenly softened.
"Despicable old fox!" Dawn spat disdainfully, as a bystander of Eric's memories.
"You...... What are you going to do with those giants?" Eric was unmoved.
"What else, we're just vassalizing their existence, just like they ...... Captive cattle and sheep are generally ......," Aaron said bitterly.
"How?"
"Well, the other party has apologized and reduced our tribute for this year, so ......"
"Tell me where those giants are, and if you can't do it, I'll get it back myself. "I'm going to meet my father...... And those uncles...... Go home!"
The wooden door of the hall was not very soundproof, at least the soldiers on duty outside the door could hear the conversation between the two, including the tribal elder who had not left. Several people couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, and then lowered their heads in shame. The so-called politics is nothing more than a rein that binds the warriors to the weak.
"Be brave, I will tell you those giants, including their names, their residences, their status...... and terrible hobbies!" Aaron Wung chuckled disdainfully.
"I'll swim across the ocean, and I've heard that there's a protoss named Danu there, and they're fighting giants!" said Eric's voice insistently, not the reckless man Aaron had thought at first.
"...... the Danu Protoss," Aaronwen's voice was full of hatred, and he would never forget that his predecessor, Tuan, had been shattered by the goddess Danu. If it hadn't been for Fetan's intervention to give him a second life, he would have been a wisp of grievance by now. Because of this, he now has an extremely paranoid worship of power.
"I can...... Tell me another way, a way to slash the enemy on your own!" Aaron was silent for a long time before he said slowly.
"Tell me, I'm willing to pay anything!" said Eric, who was stunned for a moment, and then shouted feverishly.
"Above us, the ruins of an ancient city are suspended. It was the home of the giants, and it is still occupied by countless giants who have not had time to escape. The temple *** in the middle of the ruins enshrines a beautiful gem. The giant's power comes from this gem, so ...... He has the power to control all the giants!" Aaron said slowly, looking at Eric with excitement on his face.
"I can send you there, I can train you, and show you how to evade the giants' guards and get the gems...... But, when it's done, the gems must be mine!" Aaron said his terms, and Eric hurriedly agreed. But Dawn knew that a politician like Aaron had never thought of helping Eric get revenge at all. He just wanted to use Eric's petite size and agility to get his hands on the gem. The day Eric returned with the gem was the young man's death.
