Chapter Seventy-Four: The House of the Chiefs
Before the words fell, there was a bang, and he almost tripped over. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Looking down, it is actually a thick threshold, the design of this wooden house is really harsh, the posture is low, the threshold is high, exquisite!
It's just that he is the only one in the room, and it is very noisy, and there is no movement other than that.
There was not a single window in the small wooden house, only a few narrow gaps in the wooden walls, so the light in the space was very weak.
"Jacob Henry, but you?"
The strange voice continued to sound, and Jacob calmed his mind a little, and slowed his breathing. The eye adjusts to the light in the room.
I saw that the house was even more humble than I imagined. There was only a square table, the corners of which had become rounded with the erosion of time, and a reddish-brown rocking chair, all made of gloomy wood. Only this floor is a strange white carpet, which feels very strange to the touch. Other than that, there was nothing else in the whole wooden house, only wooden walls and ears on all sides.
There was a dark figure sitting in the rocking chair. Natasha and Hawkeye are separated on either side.
Squeak, squeak, squeak.
If I didn't guess wrong, this was the chieftain, but the person in front of him was short, no more than half a meter long, half-lying and half-lying on that rocking chair, and neither leg could touch the ground.
Dressed in a black cloak and emaciated, if it weren't for the sound coming from this direction, Jacob would have wondered if it was a dried corpse in front of him.
The face of the "dry corpse" was decorated with a huge mask of human bones, white and sensen, revealing only the mouth and eyes, making it impossible to see its true face.
Gnomes, or some rare species, why are the chosen chiefs of the Isle of Misfortune all flawed men......
"Are you thinking about me, why do you look like this?"
Without warning, the voice rang out again, but the lips of the man in the rocking chair did not move.
Although Jacob was frightened, he behaved very well, because his life was at stake.
"Little ...... The villain did not dare to ...... It's just that the light in this room is dim, and the villain is a little uncomfortable, which makes the chief laugh strangely. ”
The figure remained still, but the voice continued to sound faintly.
"Hawkeye has already told me about the things outside the house, just a moment, this fight has changed the stars, the world has changed greatly, since you are here, it is also a fate. ”
Jacob didn't know what the eagle-eye was saying, and he didn't know what to say, so he couldn't help but respond:
"Ah...... Precisely...... Exactly ......"
"So, Jacob Henry, would you like to be a member of the Vikings and be an apprentice of Elder Hawkeye?"
"Willing...... Willing...... Willing...... What?apprentice?!"
Hawkeye, when did I promise to be your apprentice, can you give a psychological preparation in advance, this is a trouble, it is clearly forcing me.
This time, Jacob's eyes looked sharply at Hawkeye, but Hawkeye was also looking at him at this time, and the two looked at each other, very embarrassed, but Natasha covered her mouth and snickered.
That's it, although the seniority is a little lower, but the cultivation of the eagle-eyed predecessors and the resourcefulness are very outstanding, and I really admire it.
"Oooh...... Chief Chief, I do!"
Squeak.
The black figure finally moved slightly, and the reddish-brown rocking chair came to an abrupt halt.
"Very well, then, Jacob. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the chieftain's whole body began to tremble, and Jacob only felt a strange touch, and the ground under his feet was shaking.
In addition to being able to move, this chief can speak ventriloquism, is there any other strange technique that he still wants to teach me today?
As he was thinking, the soles of his feet were numb, and when he looked down, he saw that the carpet under his feet had already turned into something else.
What kind of carpet is this? It's clearly human hair!
Thousands of strands of white hair rose from the ground, fangs and claws, like weaving, flying in.
Jacob's feet were wrapped tightly around his feet, first his ankles, then his calves, his thighs, his waist, his throat, and even his whole body.
"Hmm...... Well...... Jacob wanted to cry out for help, but the silver hair wrapped himself in a thick body, let alone break free, and he couldn't even breathe.
What is this? Could it be that the chief of this island of Bitterness is also so despicable that he will murder people if he is unprepared? Look at Natasha and Hawkeye actually standing by and watching as if they were not ready.
"Hmm...... Not...... Save ......"
finally shouted out a word for help, but unexpectedly, the silver hair was like a python, wrapping itself tighter and tighter. In addition, among the intertwined white hair, there was only a strand of green silk, which rose high and resembled a living creature of dark blue.
Volleying, whirring, and after a slight pause, it split into two different sections, and suddenly penetrated Jacob's eyes.
Whoa.
As the green hair finally succeeded, the white hair on the body began to loosen more and more, and the body gradually fell.
With a snap, he fell on the brown gloomy wooden floor, soft and bouncy.
And the green silk that penetrated into the eyes also retreated, like a low tide, squirming, and scattered into the distance.
"Huh......"
"I'm not blind!?"
The first thing Jacob did when he fell from a high place was that his eyes had become unusually bright, and it was not a plot to kill me.
"Thank you, Chief...... Thank you very much......"
"Needless to say, the blood in your body has been completely transformed, and your appearance is no different from that of ordinary Vikings. ”
His appearance has changed, and Yada was taken aback, could it be that this is the legendary Washing the Scriptures.
"What!??Did you become handsome, or did you ......?"
The voice was frightened and cautious, and Natasha, who was on the side, finally couldn't help laughing out loud this time.
"Don't make a fuss, Jacob, it's just that the color of your eyes and hair has changed, but after the chief's baptism, you now have Viking blood on your body. With blood as a covenant, the clansmen must not kill each other, otherwise they will be punished by the spirits of the Suffering Island.
The chief also did this out of the special consideration of your status, in order to protect you. ”
When Jacob heard this, it turned out that he had thought too much, but he had spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and blamed the chief for it.
At that moment, he knelt down with a thud.
"Thank you, Chief, ......"
The chief still didn't react much, like Jacob's overreaction, rollercoaster state of mind, he had learned countless times.
"Since you are a member of the clan, you need no thanks. Just to prevent the unbaptized Boltons, the wolf sons, from losing us an elder and a priestess.
In addition, Natasha, this time, as a priestess, you did not follow the decree of the Bitter Spirit, so you went to the wall of the Valley of Wuwei for half a year, and there must be no mistake. ”
Hawkeye's face changed slightly, and he bent down to make a gesture.
"Chieftain...... Although Natasha said that she was at fault and was a remnant, she ...... after all"
After saying this, Jacob naturally understood that "Remnant" was talking about himself, but what he didn't expect was that Natasha was attentive to himself everywhere and showed mercy to his subordinates.
Not only did he not murder himself in his sleep, but he also kept persuading himself not to come to this island of misfortune in the Far North Forest. There was a sigh of emotion in my heart, how can I justify this woman now that she wants to be punished for herself.
"Chief Chief, this matter is all because of Jacob, and it has nothing to do with Natasha, if you want to punish Jacob, punish Jacob!"
"Needless to say. ”
Just a few words, but not angry and threatening.
Squeak, squeak, squeak.
The rocking chair shook again.
"You two young men go out first, and the chief and I have important matters to discuss. ”
Jacob and Natasha nodded their heads and hunched out of the hut though they were reluctant.
Squeak, squeak, squeak.
The light in the hut was getting dimer.
The chief was noncommittal about Hawkeye's approach, and it was tacit.
"Chief, why did you stop just halfway through your spiritual baptism?"
"Half of the blood in this child's body is Viking. ”
Hawkeye's eyes widened.
"What?!"
But the chief did not respond for a long time, and was silent for a while.
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
Hawkeye's face sank completely.
"Did he really come?"
Chirping.
The rocking chair stopped again.
"Not bad. ”
