Chapter 6: The Beginning of Confusion
"Kid, you have a lot of vision." Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows, "We can go to your house as a guest, but can you take us around first?" ”
The young man nodded, "Although our clan is not a big place, it is still quite lively. ”
He pointed to the stove next to him, "Brother and sister, let's go bake the fire first, it's uncomfortable to get wet clothes." ”
"The ...... of the Yi clan" sat by the fire, and Zhou Xinyi suddenly answered, "Didn't you go out of the lake to take a look?" ”
Zhou Xinyi didn't directly ask about the relationship between the two clans, looking at the attitude of the islanders towards fair skin, it must be bad.
But despite this question, the young man still had a cold face, "I don't want to pay attention to those traitors above." ”
Yes, it turned out to be mutual dislike.
Jiang Yi asked in a daze, "Traitor? What traitor? ”
"The original clan, dark-skinned and white-skinned people lived together!"
Zhou Xinyi listened to the conversation between the two sides while taking out his notebook from his arms to check it.
The material of the notebook is very special, and the water made him wet all over his body, but the notebook is still clean and tidy, without a little impurity.
He casually turned a page, and saw that the pages were full of black cares that swam like ripples, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly buckled his notes
Jiang Yi noticed Zhou Xinyi's movement and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
He shook his head, "Nothing. ”
The boy was still chattering.
"The dark-skinned people used to live in arid areas and were good at animal husbandry, while we lived in waterlogged land and were good at fishing."
"But as soon as the strange fish came out, all the bastards who were afraid of water fled, and it was the villain who called the song who covered their escape, otherwise we wouldn't have lived in this underwater town for generations!"
At this time, even Zhou Xin Yi was shocked, "Song...... Isn't she a hero? ”
"She's a bullshit hero, Fa...... Brothers and sisters, don't be deceived by those traitors! ”
It is true that Zhou Xinyi knows very little about the Yi clan, but he is not ignorant.
The people of the island admired the song very much, and after her death, the people also wrote a prayer song for the song, and sang it every year, he knew it.
Those minds are not like deception.
But why do the people of the Yi tribe have such different views on the same person?
"Gee, let's not talk about those annoying guys."
The young man stood up from the hot stove, "I'll take you around the town, as long as you see it with your own eyes, you will know that our town must be more lively than theirs!" ”
In fact, as soon as you enter the door, you can intuitively feel the liveliness of the underwater town.
Because the construction needs to excavate a large area of rock formations, it is necessary to consider the load-bearing of the island, but also to take into account the placement of equipment such as water isolation and oxygen production, and the area of the town is really small.
But because of the small area, only a few thousand people are crammed into a large home, which sets off the town with an extraordinarily prosperous and lively atmosphere.
The boy took them to the most lively street in the town, but at this time, Zhou Xinyi and Jiang Yi did not have much leisure to enjoy the scenery.
Jiang Yi quietly glanced at a certain attic, smiled and whispered, "It seems that the heirs who came in are all gathered here." ”
Zhou Xinyi's attention was focused on a certain tea-drinking heir, who was covered in a black mist that made it difficult to see his appearance, but above his head, there was a huge red exclamation mark.
“…… What is that. ”
Jiang Yi glanced at Zhou Xinyi's instructions, and also laughed out loud.
"That's a summoning order, and if there is a task that a single successor can't solve, someone will use the summoning order to recruit comrades."
"But that symbol is not changed casually, it is a totem, which is equivalent to the second identity of the heir, and any place where the inheritor wants to use the totem in the future will be a red exclamation mark."
Zhou Xinyi asked, "Then shall we go over and have a look?" ”
Jiang Yi shook her head, "I've never participated in recruitment," she said triumphantly, "For the future Black Dragon Emperor, there is no need for the weak to report to the group for warmth. ”
You can feel from the atmosphere everywhere that today seems to be a special day.
Just as the people of the island pray for songs on this day of the year, today is also a special festival for the people of the people under the water.
The taller buildings are tied with brightly colored ribbons and buntings, the women are dressed in beautiful new clothes, and the men are eager to try their hand at wiping their beloved weapons.
The town is full of fun, and even the heirs are not as-for-tat as usual.
This is a magnificent picture that belongs to the previous civilization.
But all this changed because of the appearance of a man.
The red exclamation mark on the shadow seemed to be slightly checked, and the color became more red, and the heir covered in black smoke at the bottom also turned his head to look to the other side.
For a while, all the inheritors were quiet, and even Jiang Yi held the scabbard in his hand and looked in the same direction.
In the place where everyone was watching, a well-mannered young man stood there.
"You don't have to be so cautious, brandy is here, just to inquire about one thing."
The well-mannered young man was not surprised by these glances, he seemed to have long been accustomed to attracting attention, or rather, being feared.
He asked towards the black mist under the red exclamation mark, "This gentleman has been recruited to destroy the master water control system here?" ”
The man under the black fog made a dull voice, "No. ”
"Oh," Brandy smiled, "can you take me one?" ”
Black Mist stood up, "I'm recruiting sincere and trustworthy comrades, not poisonous snakes spitting letters. ”
Brandy smiled slightly, and before he could speak, the young man beside Zhou Xinyi said loudly, "What water control system?" What are you plotting to allow you outsiders to destroy the town of the Clan! ”
As soon as these words came out, the people present also became tense.
Zhou Xinyi didn't expect the young man to speak so quickly, and he couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.
He sensed that the boy was slightly more hostile to the heirs.
Jiang Yi also said that the aborigines in the light curtain are very vigilant, but they can easily break into the local interior.
Why, is it because I am a so-called judge?
The boy's words drew Brandy's gaze to this side, and the boy trembled.
"What are you doing! I still want to do evil, but I can't do it! Despite the instigation, the young man quickly shouted with confidence, "Your Excellency Judge is here!" ”
"How do you know I'm a judge?" He doesn't seem to have revealed his identity in the town, huh? Zhou Xinyi asked in amazement.
The young man said seriously, "I don't know, but I knew at first glance that you must be a judge." ”
"Judge?"
Brandy suddenly spoke, "I know of a judge from a previous civilization who personally sentenced his sister and blood relatives to death, and the last trial in his life was to convict himself. ”
"I wonder if this gentleman is the successor to the judge?"
Ha, how does he know?
But whether it is or not, he can't honestly answer someone who seems to have bad intentions.
"No comment."
"It seems that I am disgusted by this Mr. Judge, what a pity."
Brandy said, but he looked down at his pocket watch with a smile and said nonchalantly:
"The purpose of this heir's recruitment cooperation must be to expel the surrounding fish monsters and add fuel to the water control system here, although I admire the self-discipline of the orderly, but the efficiency of obtaining resources in this way is really slow."
The people of the people under the water are also human beings, and all human beings need the air they need to survive.
Underwater survival must be a high-cost problem in modern times, but people in this era have a kind of occult tool that can solve the problem perfectly.
That tool, called the Life Furnace, is capable of converting any living organism into existing matter at a specific power as fuel.
The fuel chosen by the people of the Yi people is the strange fish in the lake that seem to be inexhaustible.
The rarer the substance, the more limited the power it can convert.
But in exchange for air, it can reach 50 minutes per kilogram of monster fish carcasses in exchange for life furnace to produce air.
Therefore, the people of the Yi tribe will hold a hunting competition every year, and all the foreign guests and adult men of the Yi tribe who have the ability to hunt are eligible to participate, and the participants who hunt the largest number of people will naturally get the most precious rewards.
"But no matter which one it is, the crown on the hunting list will be occupied by the same person-"
The young man leaned into Zhou Xinyi's ear and whispered a name:
"Song."
"Isn't she dead?"
"It's time." Brandy looked at the golden hands of his pocket watch pointing to the last second, and he snapped the lid back with a crisp "pop".
"If you want to gain profit, you should not take into account the thoughts of these phantoms by such slow and gentle means," Brandy said softly to himself, looking at the young man, "after all, our lives are at stake. ”
The brandy time was calculated accurately, so that the moment the lid was closed, it was like a signal, and in the next second, there was a shocking noise all over the town at the same time!
Blazing blasts poured into the town with the wind and waves, knocking over the tall buildings, and the colorful silk scarves that had been painstakingly arranged burned to ashes in an instant.
The gentle smiles of the women turned into screams, and the flames burned wildly, but the red water of the lake soon poured into the streets with a large number of strange fish, extinguishing the smoke that brought it.
The tamers unleash the domesticated monsters and begin to seize any valuable items within the town.
A few strange fish broke the remaining pillars, and several children fell into the red water.
The people of the Yi tribe were desperate for this scene, but the heirs had long been accustomed to it.
"The first step for the heir to earn profit is to break the order."
Jiang Yi said, "If there is a city, it will break through the city gate, and if there is an army, it will cause infighting, and if the number of trainers is enough, it will release monsters to cause chaos." ”
"As long as the scene is chaotic, whether it is a natural treasure or a capable person or creature, it will be exposed."
"When the time comes, those who have the value of hunting, kill, and those who have the value of seizing, take them."
Jiang Yi had a cold face and pulled out the sword in his sheath, "Although I don't like this style of doing things very much, I don't have a choice at this time, if I don't do anything, I will be caught up, and then I will be hunted by the funeral who smells it." ”
"Let's go, it's time for us to act."
Zhou Xinyi picked up the hammer and was about to follow, but was suddenly grabbed by the frightened young man beside him.
"The town is finished...... The town is coming to an end......"
The young man had a face that obviously did not belong to the modern Chinese, but the pair of panicked eyes were the same as the children Zhou Xinyi had ever seen.
"Please...... Please save us, Your Excellency, you're not with them, are you? You're on our side, right? ”
