Chapter 593: The Tatto's 'Honored Guest'
The angry voice of the rickety man echoed through the hills, and before it could hit the ground, a slippery-sounding response sounded in midair, "As you wish, Lord Manlov." ”
After that, the third Roman warrior riding a bird of prey descended from the sky, jumped off his mount with quick movements, grabbed the dizzy Harosheng who had fallen to the ground by the neck, threw it onto the giant bird, jumped up again, and hurriedly took off and flew towards the black square city in the distance.
"Phew, smart boy. Turning his head and seeing the giant bird fly away, Manlov spat and whispered in the stirring wet dust, and looked at Zhang Lisheng with a more gentle expression, "Dear friends from other worlds, no matter how hospitable you are, a civilized nation will have reckless people."
I hope you will forgive Harosheng for his rudeness, a month ago, his brother died in battle with the Silorians, and it is said that the reason for the defeat of that battle was that you blinded Otherworldly people helped the rude, savage Silorians. ”
"Oh, oh, I'm, I'm not, leader, I'm in the mission, I'm a, I'm a scientist with a certain administrative position, according to you, a scholar or a thinker. Zhang Lisheng swallowed and said in a dry voice.
"Scholar or thinker, ah, of course you are a scholar and thinker, otherwise you would not have understood our language in such a short time," Manloff smiled meaningfully, "Don't be nervous friends, and don't believe the rumors of the Silorians, I said that we Tathdus are civilized and kind."
Looks like you've been trekking through the jungle for a long time, and you must be tired and hungry. As the saying goes, berry wine and roasted leg bones are better than any sweet words to a hungry friend, come back to town with me, and let me prove how hospitable the people of Tattus are. ”
"Thank you, Captain Manloff. As if infected by the kind-hearted Tatdu warrior leader, Zhang Lisheng's nervous feelings gradually calmed down, and although the tone of the romance language was still a little strange, it was not stammering.
"You sit in the saddle, friend, I'll ride the bird for you. Satisfied with the change in the attitude of the otherworldly, the smile on Manlov's grim face brightened. He said, pointing to the saddle on his mount.
"Thank you again. Captain Manlov. Zhang Lisheng tensed his body as he spoke, cautiously walked to the side of the raptor, and climbed onto the leather saddle with difficulty.
"Don't be afraid, my friend. 'The Giant Blackbird' is Chung's very docile mount. There is no order from the master, and even rather hungry than cannibalism. "Watch the otherworldly people sit down. Manlov inadvertently said something terrible and jumped onto the neck of the giant bird.
He then straddled and tightened the reins, driving his mount into the air. Laughing and saying, "I thought you needed my help to ride on its back, but I didn't expect you to climb up on your own, which is a difficult thing for a wise man who eats with his brains." ”
"Captain Manlov, I'm a biologist, working like yours here who specialize in domesticating all kinds of riding beasts. Zhang Lisheng happily recognized the Tatdu warrior chief's title of 'wise man', and after the nervousness dissipated, the words became more and more, "It can be said that jungle adventures are part of my work and life."
So my physical fitness, as you say, is pretty good. ”
In the Roman world, due to the different characteristics of civilization, in addition to the daily raising and care of slaves who ride beasts, all workers related to riding beasts are noble, especially the status of scholars who study the domestication of new types of riding beasts is extraordinary.
Listening to the words of the otherworldly, Manlov's eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice: "Yes, friend, it seems that you are engaged in a very noble job, no wonder you will take on the important task of envoying 'Siloria'. ”
"Captain Manlov, for my country, I am not an envoy to 'Siloria' but to the Romance world. Zhang Lisheng shook his head and said casually, and then he seemed to have a strong interest in the big bird under his buttocks, "The bird we are riding is called 'Giant Black Bird', is it, this is really a figurative name."
It is impossible for a bird animal that can carry two tall adults to fly in my world, and it may seem to you that I am very short, but in our country, I am already very tall at 190 centimeters.
It's amazing that this bird can fly in the sky with the two of us, especially since you're wearing metal armor, and I really want to dissect it..."
Although the people from the other world behind him spoke slowly, their words gradually became noisy, but Manloff, who was notoriously gloomy and irritable, did not have the slightest impatience, and always asked and answered with laughter.
After a long time, when the mount flew over the black square city, the Tatdu warrior leader pointed to the majestic fortress in the center of the city on a square stone platform about one or two kilometers long on all sides and said, "Look, this is the main hall of our 'Siloria', where the lord of 1.8 million Silorians and Viscount Agra Siloria live. ”
"Oh, that's a huge building. Stretching out his head to look at the rows of low stone houses passing under his feet, the streets where sewage flowed, and the ragged people, Zhang Lisheng had a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, and looked up at the high platform and stone castle in the distance and said in a strange tone.
"Be careful, we're going down. Seeing that the mount was getting closer and closer to the Near Parliamentary Hall, Manlov reminded him loudly, clamped his legs, and began to control the giant bird to avoid the same kind of people taking off and landing in the sky, and descended rapidly.
It took a long time for the Tatdu warrior leader to finally take advantage of the last rays of the setting sun to successfully drive his mount to the safe landing in the corner of the high platform, and by this time the distant fortress servants had already begun to throw torches into it, and many of them were scattered all over the high platform, and many of them were scattered and orderly embedded in the huge black metal pots on the ground.
The pot was full of grease that looked cloudy like a gray-brown paste, and after the fire, the light of more than one person was ignited, and the darkness that had just landed within a radius of tens of meters was dispelled, and the combined force of the fire on the hundreds of metal cauldrons illuminated half of the sky red.
"Cavalry Commander Manlov, General Fedos is waiting for you in the Seventh Council Chamber. In the flickering light of the fire, a servant in a dark gray linen robe who had been waiting for a long time bowed respectfully after Manloff jumped off his mount.
"Okay, I'll go right away. Manlov nodded, turned to see the otherworldly people trembling and crawling down the bird's back, and said, "Friend, according to military regulations, I will report to the chief first after going out of the city to inspect the territory.
The servants will entertain you in my place, please do not be restrained. ”
"Good, good Captain Manlov, goodbye. Hearing that the leader of the Tatdu warriors was leaving, Zhang Lisheng deliberately showed a nervous look on his face and stammered.
"Sido, prepare the most sumptuous feast to entertain our friends from afar, and if you neglect the slightest slack, I will whip you. Manlov smiled comfortingly at Zhang Lisheng for the last time, and shouted to the servants beside him as he left.
"Yes, Captain Manlov, I will make your guests feel comfortable. The young servant said as he watched the leader of the Tatdu warriors walk away, and then showed a respectful smile towards Zhang Lisheng, "Distinguished guest, please come with me." ”
"Yes, Mr. Sido. Zhang Lisheng smiled dryly and nodded.
The unfamiliar suffix "Sir" made the servant stunned for a moment, and then he cleverly realized that it might be an honorific title, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Honorable guest, I am not qualified to receive too much courtesy from you as a servant, this is the law of 'Tatto', please call me by my name directly, otherwise I may have to stay in the water prison for a few days." ”
"Yes, it seems that 'Tatto' is really a hierarchical place. Zhang Lisheng paused for a moment, and said dryly, but he was so respected, his tense mood just now seemed to relax again, and he walked a few steps behind the servant, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Xiduoxian, no, Xiduo, are we going to the political hall now?"
"Yes, your guest. The servant replied respectfully as he led the way.
"Captain Manloff said that the Great Hall of Parliament is where the Earl of Siloria lives, so when the Captain returns, can I ask him to see this lord?"
"Honorable guest, please make a request for such a matter directly to Captain Manloff, a little man like me cannot answer. Sido said embarrassedly.
"That's right, okay, I'll talk about it later. Zhang Lisheng nodded thoughtfully, and then he heard a loud female voice behind him, "Xiduo, stop, who is this strange person you are carrying?"
"Oh, honorable lady Anadain, this is the honored guest that Captain Manloff met while patrolling his realm. Sido's body was shocked, and he hurriedly turned around, bent his waist at ninety degrees, and saluted the two samurai who strode in the distance.
The two Tatdu warriors were women, one with long hair and braided hair;
A reddish-brown with very short hair, like a hedgehog on the head, slightly shorter than the male Romance warriors, but the body is also more than two hundred centimeters, even so, their Peugeot body hidden in the half-body armor, convex and backward does not look stout, but well-proportioned and toned,
"The distinguished guest of the Manlov horseman, hum, a guest dressed as eccentric as a beggar in a commercial city, what the hell is this old 'snow fox' doing..."The short-haired female warrior who spoke walked up to Zhang Lisheng, looked up and down carefully, and pouted and said: "Sido doesn't need to call me a lady anymore, now I am also a brave knight." ”
"Yes, Captain Anadan. The servant said with a wry smile. (To be continued......)
