II. The Heavenly Punishment of the Scarlet Leaf Forest Chapter 67 Dried Fish
Finks smirked.
She and her reconnaissance team flew out of the Deadwood Outpost from the grassy slope as planned, and Sister Dam arrived on time to meet her with chocobos and carts. By the time they got into the car and were ready to go, it was just getting light, and the deadwood sentry was making a series of explosions as planned.
They ran wildly in the car for most of the day, laughing and laughing, and finally rushed back to Rhino Peak before dinner. It was all so just right, it was the smoothest day of the Finks.
But from the moment he walked into the Rhino Peak outpost, Finks' smile vanished. No one expected that Buxiao and Lydia had been waiting for her for a long time.
Looking at the unsmiling and gloomy gaze, Finks forced a smile: "You guys...... Why don't you stay a few more days in Manniu? ”
"What about him?" Don't laugh and just meet to get to the point of the problem.
"Probably separated, right?" Finks continued to play dumb and try to get by.
"I'll ask the hostess." Don't smile, turn around and leave.
"Don't!" Finks hugged his thighs tightly and said with tears in his eyes: "Don't, don't ask the proprietress , I'll be honest, I'll ......"
He was the first marksman just now, the commander of the hunter reconnaissance unit, but now he has turned into a child who is crying and rolling on the ground. Lydia reluctantly hid her face and was about to drag her up, but was stopped by Buxiao.
Poof.
Buxiao took out two pineapples from the shadow and threw them on the ground, "Say it quickly." ”
Before Lydia could understand what was going on, Finks was already kneeling down obediently and unreservedly unreservedly unreservedly about the young man's plan.
The unsmiling eyebrows were already tangled together, and Lydia even felt a fierce glint in his eyes, as if she was planning some terrible punishment.
Lydia thought about it and decided to try to avoid the tragedy.
"In other words, after listening to the unconscious Korson man's dream words, he decided to go to the altar alone and venture to see the 'Heavenly Punishment'?" Lydia asked, outwardly angry, "What's the difference between this and death?" ”
Obviously, she had forgotten that she had just listened to the words of a few merchants and rushed to the Ice and Snow Empire to fight the demons single-handedly.
Lydia continued to pretend to admonish, "Why do you think that the Kolson people's defenses are so lax that they can sneak in with their third-rate stealth skills? The red dragon was not poked to death by the steel fork now, and I am afraid that he was also thrown into that altar to die. ”
Finks thought that Lydia could help him say two good words, but he didn't expect to be described by her more and more black, so he hurriedly shook his head: "No, that elder was bent on attacking the deadwood outpost, so he took the opportunity to detour back to the altar from the path." And I drew him a route map of the escape, and he had at least four routes to get out. ”
The expression of not smiling was softened a little, "It's not stupid." ”
Lydia snickered.
This trick is the experience she has accumulated over the years of flight delays in her previous life: if a five-minute delay is expected, tell the guest that the delay is half an hour, and let the expectation drop to freezing first; After waiting for 5 minutes, the guests are told that we can depart 25 minutes earlier after our efforts, so that the atmosphere of the whole flight will be very warm.
Listening to the comments that don't laugh is not so bad, Finks hurriedly put on an innocent smile, saying that he already knows everything, saying everything, and hinting at whether he can get rid of these two pineapples as soon as possible.
Don't smile and pretend not to see it, but Lydia has already played a side drum for him: "You guys haven't done it too badly yet, can you teach a lesson next time?" ”
With that, Lydia tried to reach out and pull Finks up.
"But it's still too stupid." Buxiao seemed to see through Lydia's trick and quickly added the evaluation.
Finks was so frightened that he quickly straightened his kneeling position, but Lydia still wanted to save him again, and asked softly, "With his wisdom, it's okay to make such a plan, right?" ”
"Really?" Don't smile and ask rhetorically.
Lydia stuck out her tongue, the words had already been said and she couldn't eat them back, and after thinking about the worst plan, she would kneel next to Finks with two pineapples, and simply continued: "Growing up always requires experiences and tribulations, and the truth can only be understood after suffering losses......"
Buxiao was just about to speak, when someone suddenly reported: "That Korsun man is awake." ”
Dried fish slowly opened his eyes and slowly surveyed everything around him.
Achai pressed the back of his hand against the dried fish's forehead, his fever had subsided, "Look, this doesn't bother me at all." ”
Rowling's eyes widened as she watched, "Your medical skills are so good." ”
"The master craftsman has won the award, where do I know what medical skills." Achai wiped the bowl and pestle on his hand, "I have also used this kind of blow arrow, and besides, who asked me to call it 'Achai'." ”
Rowling froze.
As if he suddenly found himself telling a bad joke, Achai smiled apologetically and picked up the medicine pestle in his hand, "That's what my name means in the local language." ”
Rowling showed an expression of sudden realization, "Then your brother's name is not the pot for cooking rice?" ”
"No, Agung means fishing nets."
The two were chatting happily, and Lydia and Lydia hurried in. Achai habitually prepared to kneel down and worship with the etiquette of meeting the leader, but without smiling and entering the door, he set off an undercurrent of energy that swept him back a few steps and sat firmly on the chair.
"He's awake?" Although he was asking, he had already walked to the bed of dried fish.
Dried fish's eyes rolled, and suddenly he saw a cold-eyed and arrogant man standing in front of him. The dark aura emanating from a pitch-black cloak frightened him into speech, "I...... Sister...... Heavenly Punishment ...... Elder ......"
"Don't worry, don't scare this kid." Lydia hurriedly walked to the other side and asked gently, "Little brother, I'm Lydia, what's your name?" ”
Lydia's smile soothed Dried Fish's emotions, and he licked his lips, "I don't have a name. ”
Don't have a name? Lydia looked at Achai suspiciously.
Achai explained: "In the tribe, only the person who can hunt has a name, and he is timid and never hunts, so we all call him dried fish." ”
"What does dried fish mean, you should also give yourself a name." Lydia couldn't help but laugh, "I heard your sister's name is Mira, maybe you can call 'Mickey'?" ”
Achai and Dried Fish both had embarrassed expressions on their faces, and Rowling giggled from the sidelines, "What is Mickey, and your name is too strange." ”
If it weren't for the lack of copyright, Lydia would have given them a serious science about a rat that has taken the world by storm.
Rowling told her, "The people of the Black Steel Empire are named for specific things. For example, copper hammers and steel nails are tools and materials. ”
"What about Hills?" Lydia scoffed.
"Iron tongs." Rowling laughed, "Men will give their names directly, and women will use the pronunciation of Old Dwarven languages as their names." ”
"What does Mira mean?" Don't smile and ask Ah Chai with a sideways face.
"Mira, like Agung, means fishing nets." Ah Chai was a little surprised, but after living in the Red Pavilion for a while, he had gradually become accustomed to not laughing at this sudden inquiry, "It's just that Mila is the pronunciation of another ethnic language." ”
"Ancient dwarven language?" Don't smile and turn her head to ask Rowling.
Rowling was stunned by the question, and thought for a moment, "Strictly speaking, it should be pronounced 'Mirlaro,' but it's pretty close." ”
Bu smiled and pondered for a moment, "If you deduce according to this custom, the origin of the Korsun clan may be a fugitive from the Black Steel Empire. ”
Dried fish's eyes suddenly widened, and a frightened expression appeared on his face.
The origin of the Korsun clan was a tribal taboo, and only the patriarchs and priests knew the secret. When he and his sister were young, they were digging for birds' eggs on the cliff behind the altar when they overheard the priests talking.
Achai had already mentioned the wisdom of not smiling just now, but he could guess these inside stories just by virtue of a few names, and Yu Gan's heart had already developed awe of not smiling, and he hurriedly said in an extremely respectful tone: "Great Elder is wise, our ancestors are all Black Steel refugees, and they have lived in Guillotine Rock for generations. ”
"Why did you migrate here?" The problem of not laughing is always unexpected.
Lydia even poked at the side and whispered, "Maybe we should ask something more important, go and save the red dragon first?" ”
"It's important." Bu smiled and replied, "There are only two reasons to migrate: good here and bad there." ”
The dried fish's breathing became rapid, and he even felt that not smiling had seen through his heart and soul, and even the deepest secrets in his heart had been exposed to his eyes.
"If you don't want to say it, if you don't laugh, the elders won't force you." Achai gave him an encouraging look, "But what the Great Elder asked you must be very important, and maybe it can help us rescue Mira." ”
This sentence accidentally pierced Yu Gan's heart, and he trembled and spoke: "We once overheard the elders teaching the priests: in the year when the heavenly capital fell, the elders of the previous generation suddenly went crazy and refined countless bad demons. It was Elder Pegu who summoned the god Bahamu and destroyed him. Later, we followed the call of the god Bahamu and moved here. ”
"The god of Baham?" Lydia remembered that she had mentioned the word when she had captured the two elders before, "What is that?" ”
Achai replied, "The god Baham, that is the greatest power that protects our people, is the patron saint brought to us by the previous generation of Elder Walker. It is said to have the power to destroy the world. ”
"If you can really destroy the world, why don't you use it sooner?" Lydia scoffed.
"The price." Achai sighed, "Summoning the Baham gods requires a lot of sacrifice, and it is said that half of the entire tribe will be thrown behind. ”
Lydia gasped.
"They have summoned the 'Divine Shadow', and my sister will be the 'Omen'!" Yu Gan said eagerly, "Please save my sister, or ...... The god Bahamu is about to appear. ”
The crowd turned to look at Achai.
Achai had to explain on the spot: "The god Baham can't be summoned easily, so Elder Pegu created an infinitely powerful magical beast to solve the crisis in place of the god Baham. It doesn't have a name, but because it's a shadow of the god Baham, we all call it 'God'. ”
Seeing that everyone nodded in understanding, Achai continued to explain: "Summoning the god Baham requires a large number of sacrifices, and a special soul as a 'portent' of the god's appearance. The man would be hung on the altar and subjected to the bite of poisonous insects for seven days and seven nights. With seven days and seven nights of wailing and seven days and seven nights of blood, the god Baham will be awakened to fight for the tribe. ”
"So......" Lydia looked at Finks beside her, "Red Dragon's approach is also a shortcut. ”
"Shortcuts may not be made alive." The expression of not smiling was even more serious for some reason, "Take the map." ”
