Chapter 187: Relatives?】

Chapter 187

Dora's voice was slow and deep.

"According to the 'Golden Rule', there are always some races in this world, large and small, that are somewhat similar in blood. For example, it is well known that the dwarves and giants are natural relatives, and in ancient times, the two races were closely related.

And in addition to that, there are many races...... Like us Dragons and 'Damandras'. Damandras is a translation of your human language, and according to our dragon language, it should mean ...... 'poisonous fangs'. The Damandras clan, in terms of their long bloodline, can even compare to our dragon clan, their racial strength is strong, and they were once a powerful group of creatures among all races on the continent. However, Damandras, because of our bloodline, has some inexplicable relationship with us dragons - but unlike the harmonious relationship between the dwarves and giants, both of us races are naturally proud. ”

Speaking of this, Dora sneered and asked Char, "Do you know what kind of result the extremely proud special xìng will bring?"

"I don't know. ”

"Rejection!" Dora threw out the word coldly, and then said coldly: "The prouder the race, the more it thinks that it is unique, the most special one...... Therefore, there is absolutely no tolerance for anything else that is similar to oneself!Otherwise, wouldn't it be a special one who admits that he is not unique?So, when the dwarven giants are like brothers, and the dragons and Damandras are never in harmony!!"

"And the Damandras, these earthworm-like things are the most cunning and ferocious, but they are also self-defeating!Hmph......" Dora said here, and said in a low voice, "They used to be very powerful, so powerful that even though we dragons hated them, there was no way to destroy them." Because of their similar bloodline, the Damandras clan also possess superior magical powers, strong physical strength. Although individually, Damandhras is weaker than the Dragons...... However, their ability to reproduce is much stronger than ours. Therefore, although they have hated each other for a long time, everyone has nothing to do with each other. Until...... Afterward...... Damandras, made an unforgivable mistake. ”

Char Jīng was shocked - for some reason, he was always interested in the legends of the various races in ancient times that Dora said.

"What's wrong?"

"The Great War 10,000 years ago. Dora's tone was low: "The demons have invaded this world on a large scale, and in order to resist the demons, the various races of the world mountain have united to resist the ...... However, at that time, Damandera was on the side of the demons. ”

Char's eyes widened.

Dora's tone was a little gloating: "Damandhras is very cunning, they probably think that the strength of the demons is irresistible, so they simply threw themselves into the enemy at the beginning of the war, and betrayed this world to serve the demons." Unfortunately, they were wrong! Many races finally defeated the demons, expelled them all from this world, and drove them back to the underworld completely...... And after the war is over, it is naturally time for reckoning! Damandras's act of betrayal has aroused the anger of almost all races, and all races have recognized that they have betrayed this world, so there is no reason to continue to live in this world.

In fact, at the end of the war, most of the defeated Damandras followed their masters, the demons, and retreated to the underworld, and the Damandras who remained in this world were already very rare. And because of the anger of many races, the remaining Damanderas had no way to resist the massacre of many races after all, and they were quickly slaughtered, and they were almost never seen in this world again. ”

Speaking of this, Dora's tone gradually became a little mysterious: "Moreover, I have read some ancient records of our tribe...... It is said that in that ancient war, it was not only the confrontation between the races, but also the great gods involved! The gods worshiped by the demons were their gods and demons, and the gods believed in by all races in the world also joined forces to fight...... Finally, after the end of the war, in order to punish the damanderas for his betrayal, the gods all sent down their wrath and permanently deprived the damandras race of some of their abilities. It is said that the great dragon god deprived Damandras of most of his wisdom, the great god Odin deprived Damandras of courage, and the great human god deprived Damandras of his ability to reproduce. After being weakened by the gods, Damandras could no longer resist the attacks of the tribes and was soon exterminated. ”

"I just didn't expect there to be one here?" Char pouted.

Dora smiled bitterly: "This world is so vast, it is really not easy to completely slaughter a race quickly, and some guys who slip through the net are inevitable." ”

Speaking of this, Dora's tone was very confused: "But legend has it that Damandras has been deprived of the ability to reproduce by the gods...... But how can it still be passed down to the present? Even if there were guys who slipped through the net in ancient times, but without the ability to reproduce, how could the race continue?"

Hearing this, Char was silent for a while, and muttered in a low voice: "In the notes left by my adoptive father, there is a sentence: Life will always find its own way to continue. ”

When Dora heard this, she was silent for a while, slowly read this sentence a few times, and sighed: "Life will always find its own way to continue...... This makes a lot of sense. ”

Char thought for a moment and said with a smile: "The story you said is very jīngcai, but I'm curious...... Well, as you said, a lot of races are related by blood, and dwarves and giants are relatives - that's already fucking funny. You dragons and Damandhras are relatives...... Uh, what about us humans? What race are humans related to?"

To be honest, the turtle was just asking casually, but when the question was asked, Dora suddenly fell into a strange silence.

Char was curious, and asked twice, but didn't get a response from Dora, so she couldn't help frowning: "Don't you know? ”

"Who said I don't know. Dora suddenly spoke, her voice tinged with an eerie flavor: "You really want to know?"

Hearing Dora's tone, Char's heart moved: "Is there any special legend?"

"Yes, yes...... However, this legend, you humans yourself will not admit it, but after the major races turned their faces, other races have this kind of speculation, and you humans themselves refuse to admit it. ”

"Oh?"

Char's eyes rolled, and he suddenly smiled bitterly: "You, you can't be talking about the earth, are you? Fuck! Could it be that we humans and these filthy things are relatives?!"

Dora's sharp sneer came: "It's not a ground jīng!"

"Isn't it a place...... Uh, the appearance of the jīng spirit clan, I heard that it is quite similar to humans......" Char touched his chin.

"It's not a jīng spirit either. Dora continued to sneer.

"Uh...... What is that? Legendary orcs? By the way, Odin's guys like bestiality, maybe they are orcs......"

"It's not an orc, either. Dora continued to deny it.

"What's that?"

Dora's sneering voice, a little creepy, finally, she said the answer.

"Demons!"

Demons??

Her voice was extremely cold: "Other races have always had a guess: you humans are actually very close to the demon race in terms of racial blood! This point, although the ancient humans tried their best to deny it, but the other races agreed with this guess in their hearts. ”

Char's mouth opened wide.

"In the ancient war, in the process of the defeat of the demons, we have gained a lot of demon racial civilization and skills. It's a pity that because of racial differences, although the civilization of the demon race is very strong, we can't use it...... You humans are the only ones! You humans are almost the biggest beneficiaries of that war! Mankind has gained a lot of civilizations from the demons, and these civilizations have made the human race, which was still very weak at that time, almost become stronger in a short period of time! Legend has it that by the end of the war, the human race has almost become the most powerful of all races! Mankind has learned civilization, wisdom, martial arts, and magic from the demons...... I learned a lot, a lot! But those things are not available to other races, but you humans can learn them very quickly, and they can merge very quickly...... So, the other races are speculating that it may ...... You human beings are blood relatives with the demon race at all, but the human race at that time would never admit it. ”

Char was stunned for a moment, and then snorted: "Demons! Demons? Hahaha! It's so interesting! Humans are actually related to demons?"

"Do you want to deny it too?" Dora said coldly: "Once you humans hear such a statement, you will naturally try your best to deny it, and no one will have anything to do with the common enemy of this world. ”

"Why deny it?" The turtle pursed the corners of his lips, looking indifferent: "It's not bad to have such a powerful relative, hahahaha!"

After a while, Char sighed, "Okay...... Now that the matter is clear, what should I do next......?

Thinking of the great snake of Damandras in the Zaku Turen, Char felt a little uncomfortable - that great serpent, even Dora was so afraid of, it was a trouble.

There are no more poisonous mushrooms...... Well, it should be said that it is the Demon Flame Grass, so it seems that the way to make a fortune trading with the Zaku natives is cut off.

"Let's go back first, damn it, this time it's been a trip for nothing. Char frowned: "Even if it is impossible to get rich...... But I'm still going to go to the Zaku tribe after all...... Devil's Kiss Taro, you have to go there to find it. ”

"Hah!" Dora sneered, "You still dare to go to the tribe of the Zaku Tu?"

"Why don't you go?" Char asked.

"Now that Damandhras in the Jīng tribe is just an adult hatchling! it doesn't have enough intelligence to tell the difference, so it mistakenly thinks you're your own kind and doesn't attack you...... But I guess that in the tribe of the Zakutu people, there may be an adult Damandras! And now, you have the soul mark of my dragon clan in your body! Such a soul mark is more obvious in the sense of magical creatures like us, than any method of identification such as smell! If you meet an adult Damandras, you can immediately recognize the dragon mark on your body, and then they will treat you as an enemy and attack you without hesitation!"

Char's face changed.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the woods, Char looked up and followed the sound, and Russell ran over with two mercenaries quickly. Russell's face was a little nervous and anxious, and when he saw Char, he ran from afar, took a breath, and hurriedly said:

"My lord, those Zaku Tu people want to see you!"

※※※When Char returned to the tribe, the mercenaries had already surrounded the wooden building with weapons and confronted the Zaku natives nervously.

The Zaku natives gathered at the bottom of the wooden building, dozens of natives clutching short spears, and a group of mercenaries with swords in front of them stared nervously, the air was filled with the smell of tension and stiffness, as if a bloody battle was about to break out.

When Char rushed back, the Zaku natives were already quite stupid, and some of the natives shouted loudly, although they couldn't understand what they said, but judging from the hostile expressions on the other party's faces, it was not a good word. And the mercenaries here are not good at stubble, and there are some stupid people who shout provocative words in response.

"What are you doing!Get out of the way!" Char let out a majestic low snort, and the mercenaries saw that he was coming, so they immediately got out of the way Char came to the front of the crowd, and swept over with cold eyes, around the wooden building, a lot of people gathered around there to watch the excitement, and some of them looked quite gloating, Char snorted and said coldly: "Russell, bring someone to disperse those who are watching the excitement for me!"

Then he looked at the Zaku Tu people in front of him, "What do you want to do? Find someone to talk to!

"I'm here. Among the natives, the natives who had fought with Char before walked out of the crowd, and this guy came to Char with his empty hands, and said in a deep voice: "My people are not hostile, it's just that your people walked too close to the wooden building just now, which will cause my people's jǐngti." After a pause, he said in a low voice: "We are the guards responsible for protecting the holy snake and the snake girl, and our duty is there, so we ......"

"No need to explain, I understand. Char nodded, he groaned slightly, turned around and shouted, "Everyone listen to my orders, take ten steps back." ”

When these words came out, the Zaku native immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and just said, "Thank you." But then Char's second sentence "If anyone dares to trespass, don't be killed", which made the native's face ugly again.

The native stared at Char tightly, and Char was also very stiff and looked at him, and finally, the other party gritted his teeth, and his attitude softened a little: "Okay, I won't fight with you, it's just, Your Excellency, please come in and talk, I don't know if you have the guts?"

Char remembered the big snake upstairs, to be honest, he felt a little weak in his heart, but the other party said it, how could he fall into his own courage in front of everyone?

As he spoke, he glanced up at the guy: "You want to talk, right? I happen to talk to you too, so let's go in and talk!"

With a strange smile on his face, the native made a gesture of invitation sideways, and the native warriors next to him got out of the way of the stairs, and Char swaggered up the steps with his head held high.

At the door of the wooden house on the second floor, there were two Zaku native warriors standing far away, but they didn't dare to approach the wooden house, Char didn't speak, and walked directly into the wooden house, just came inside, seeing the big snake coiled on the wooden couch in the house, when Xia came in, he raised his head again after a breath, and the turtle couldn't help but feel a little soft under his feet, coughed, and found a wooden stool by the door and sat down: "If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Seeing Char sitting down against the door, the Zaku native couldn't help but have a strange smile on his face, and then he immediately hid it, first nodding at the black-haired girl on the bed.

The black-haired girl, with a pale face, looked at Char, and showed a hint of a smile, just holding the snake body gently with both hands, caressing back and forth, and making a "sizzling" sound from time to time in her mouth, as if softly appeased, the big snake finally slowly lowered its head and coiled into a ball, as if it was very docile under the girl's comfort.

"According to your human rules, I'll introduce myself first. The god of this native man was very solemn: "My name is Ah Zuo, and I am a warrior of the tribe. ”

Char nodded, pointed to his nose and said briefly, "Char." ”

"All right, Char. This Zaku native named Azuo, the Byzantine language is quite fluent: "I have dealt with your caravan a lot, so I will speak your words, but ......" Azuo's eyes became a little sharper: "I also deeply understand the greed and cunning of you humans. So, if it weren't for the snake girl's insistence, I would never have invited you!"

Char shrugged his shoulders: "You think I like to sit here and talk to you?" After speaking, he couldn't help but look at the big snake entrenched there.

After Dora's narration, this time I took a closer look at this big snake, Damandras, and after looking carefully, I saw that it was a little different.

This Damanderas was dressed in a bright yellow pattern, which looked very bright, but the scales on the snake's body were extremely dense, and each piece was glowing with a faint light.

"You see that its body is not ......" Dora's voice came from her head: "On its body, there are several scales that appear to be extraordinarily wide, and there should have been its feet and feet, because it has a similar blood relationship with our dragon clan, so those things were born, but they didn't grow after all, just faintly outlined." ”

Xia Yaduo looked twice, and sure enough, he found that there were several places on the snake's body, which bulged out a little inconspicuously.

Seeing Char staring at the serpent's origin, the native named Ah Zuo couldn't help frowning, and raised his voice: "Your Excellency Char!"

"What?" Char turned his face.

"This holy snake is the holy beast of our clan, and that one is the snake girl who was selected to serve and take care of the holy snake. Ah Zuo said slowly: "These are the rules of our Zakutu people, and perhaps in the eyes of you humans, they can't help but be a little terrifying and strange. ”

Char grinned: "No matter how strange things are, I've seen them! What did you want to tell me about?"

"Not me...... It is our snake girl who has something to say to you. When Ah Zuo said this, the god was strange: "Can you understand the words of the snake girl? This is strange......

He then said in a deep voice: "The Holy Snake is inviolable! In our clan, only the Snake Girl can be with the Holy Snake, and if it is a bystander, once it gets close, it will cause the Holy Snake to attack--you have seen it today! Because of your recklessness, I have already lost two excellent warriors!"

Char rolled his eyes, looked at this Ah Zuo, and suddenly said, "Didn't you also sit here and didn't cause its attack?"

Ah Zuo looked back at the snake girl, the girl with a pale and weak face nodded slowly, and Ah Zuo sighed, looking a little reluctant: "Okay, since the snake girl meant, just tell you." The holy snake is our holy relic, and it is also a holy beast that protects our whole clan! But the majesty of the holy snake cannot be offended! All in our clan, except for the snake maidens who serve the holy snake, only the big chief, the great wizard, can get the permission of the holy snake to approach. ”

As he spoke, he grabbed a small bone sculpture carved into the shape of a small skeleton from under his neck, and gently held it, and Char immediately saw that the eyes of the small bone sculpture were two red beads.

"This is a holy thing, and only by carrying this thing will you not be attacked by the holy snake. Ah Zuo said slowly: "In our clan, only the big chief and the big wizard will wear such a thing, because this time I have to go out to protect the snake girl, so the chief gave me this thing, so that I can get close to the holy snake, but not too close...... If you get within three steps, you will inevitably offend the Holy Snake. ”

Speaking of this, Ah Zuo looked at Char: "So...... I'm also curious...... Why, Your Excellency approached our holy snake so closely, but the holy snake did not punish you for your offense, and did not kill you. That's why the snake girl asked to see you, and I agreed to bring you. ”

Char turned her head to look at the girl on the bed.

The girl's pale skin was slightly sickly, and the snow-white and thin wrap chest and white sè's little skirt exposed most of the snow-white skin on her body, which was quite tempting, but this poignant, against the backdrop of a terrible and ugly snake next to her, was particularly terrifying.

Char was looking at the girl, and the girl suddenly spoke slowly!

She spoke snake language, and Char could understand the strange pronunciation of the sizzle.

The delicate and somewhat weak voice was:

"Sir, I know you can understand me, so I beg for your help......" The delicate girl had a pleading expression on her face: "What I say to you, please rest assured...... Ah Zuo he can't understand it, so I will only say my words to you alone, and please don't leak it to Ah Zuo!"

"Huh?" Char was stunned.

This...... What is the meaning?
