Chapter 483: 'Change'
These sudden dragon eagles looked larger than the 'companions' used by the Wuli warriors in battle, but they looked much more docile, and instead of two sturdy baskets fixed on their backs that could accommodate the indigenous warriors to fight calmly, there were a row of soft seats woven with seven or eight tree vines.
Looking at the several huge birds of prey in front of her, Allison was stunned for a moment and said, "Oh, no, it won't be for us to ride the dragon eagle to Hongshan Harbor, right?"
"Of course it's to ride them, haven't we analyzed it, the Wuli people plan to hide it in front of the land people, at least temporarily hide their iron ships, artillery, and airships, all of which will let us go to Longying Harbor first, and then transfer to Hongshan Harbor.
In this case, the dragon eagle is the most convenient means of transportation," Zhang Lisheng said as he ran quickly, jumped up, grabbed the eagle feathers in his hand, and lightly got on the back of the dragon eagle closest to him, "Don't worry, Lieutenant Alison, these huge birds of prey look fierce, but they have actually been domesticated and very obedient, and there is no danger." ”
"Even though you are a brilliant creature, it is still very unconvincing to say the word 'submissive' in front of these 'big guys'..."Allison plucked up her courage and whispered a cautious and nervous voice to the dragon eagle, and climbed up the eagle's back along a simple pontoon ladder flanked by vines and thick wooden sticks in the middle.
At the same time, the Atlanteans among the explorers danced their arms slightly, and their bodies lit up with a faint light, suspended into the air, and calmly floated on the back of the dragon eagle. And Nordek and his three elite warriors of the earth who mastered the ability stood still and jumped directly on the back of the eagle,
The remaining Poqi and Harman climbed the back of the dragon eagle because of the strength of Alison, who was a woman, and they could only look at each other with a wry smile, and stepped on the floating ladder to carefully climb the eagle's back.
After all the explorers sat down on the back of the dragon eagle, the giant bird's thick talons kicked the ground, soared into the air, and rose smoothly into the sky, flying through the jungle into the distance in the brilliant sunlight.
On the way to Hongshan Port, the dragon eagle that no one commanded was flying slowly. The height is also moderate, too. Sitting on its back, the explorers did not feel the strong wind hitting their faces, nor did they feel anxious, but they were very comfortable.
"It was the most comfortable air ride I've ever experienced. Wow. It's amazing. Gradually, the apprehension in her heart disappeared, and Allison let the warm spring breeze blow her hair and flutter at will, stroking the soft feathers of the birds of prey below her, and couldn't help but cheer and said, "Doctor." I'm willing to bet this 'big guy' has more intelligence than dolphins and chimpanzees. ”
"If you bet, then you will lose Lieutenant Alison," Zhang Lisheng, who was sitting in a seat in front of the black female officer, said loudly without looking back: "The ability of a bird to recognize the way comes from instinct and has nothing to do with intelligence, and the brain capacity of a carrier pigeon is not as large as that of a native chicken, and it is easier to train at a moderate speed."
Using the conditioned reflex principle that the dog will drool when it sees meat and bones, let a Wuli warrior who knows how to control the dragon eagle control this bird of prey to walk a few more times at the appropriate speed, and it will naturally know what kind of speed to move forward. ”
"Xie Lu, thank you for explaining so thoroughly, Dr., I have another question for you, have you found that sometimes knowing too much can be boring and boring?"
"It's better to be bored than to be cranky and scare yourself. Zhang Lisheng thought about it and said with a smile.
As soon as the young man finished speaking, a group of white nameless seabirds chirped in the distance and swept over the rippling blue sea, which suddenly made Allison forget what she wanted to say, and she was speechless for a long time when she looked at the sea from a bird's eye view.
Eliminating Zhang Lisheng, who is brutal by nature and kills from the heart, and Someril, who is unfathomable, in fact, the explorers of the 'Sea Shrimp No. 2 World Realm' sitting on the back of the bird at this time, although they look normal except for the appearance of being a little tired, but in fact, the brutal killings in the battle of Scorpion Island that they have never dreamed of have made their spirits tense to the extreme.
All Allison's originally strong will will become soft unconsciously, and be touched by some small tranquility that she usually doesn't care about at all.
The young man faintly felt this and smiled down, and learned to be silent, looking down at the beautiful scenery of his newly acquired territory, until the dragon eagle flew for two or three hours, and fell into a coastal tribe that looked not much different from the habitat of the ordinary Hell tribe, and did not speak again.
When birds of prey land, there are naturally indigenous handymen who take them away and feed them.
After jumping off the back of the eagle, Zhang Lisheng looked around and saw that not far away, the most conspicuous of the wooden harbors, which were not small but by no means large, were seven or eight ships with bows and tails of more than 100 meters, and from the bow statue and the height of the cabins on the deck, it was obvious that they were sailing ships used by landers, and dozens of simple fishing boats seized by 'Wu Li' two months ago were parked next to the merchant ships of landers;
The bark hut near the beach, near the tribal habitat in the woods, was the most ordinary Hell style, and the natives in it were nothing special, and a shallow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at the handymen who greeted him, and ordered: "Take us to meet Tevez and McAtis." ”
"Yes, wise one. After kowtowing on the ground, the thin indigenous handyman stood up, took Zhang Lisheng and the others to step on the flat land, walked to a tree house near the sea, and respectfully stepped aside, "The two adults are inside." ”
The young man nodded, looked at Someryl beside him, and was about to speak, when suddenly the curtain of the treehouse was lifted, revealing Tevez's crimson hair and delicate, fair face.
"Sergeant Major Someril... Mr. Harman," the Atlantean politely called the outsider's name without missing a beat, and said with a smile, "It seems that my hunch is accurate, and you are here today."
Let's go into the house, although the inside is simple but comfortable, just to deceive those 'land people', the Wuli people don't even have a door, it's really not convenient. ”
In fact, installing wooden doors on bark houses is a habit that the Wuli people have gradually developed in the last half a year, although Zhang Lisheng ruled the tribe in terms of conquest and killing, innovation of craftsman skills, etc., although his attitude was extremely tough, but he had an extremely respectful way of life for the Wuli tribe's long history, and there had never been any reform.
On the contrary, the Wuli people themselves, as more and more landers began to live in the territory, the production force has changed dramatically earlier than before, and they have begun to spontaneously make some changes, such as learning to use iron pots to cook food, and using wooden doors instead of curtains.
On the surface, the youth neither encouraged nor hindered these subtle changes, but deep down they were secretly proud, because as long as there was such an evolution, no matter how subtle, it meant that the traditions of Hell were beginning to be actively discarded by the Wuli people.
Although the bluestone is hard, as long as it can be slightly worn by the water droplets, one day the drips can wear the stone, the same reason with the 'Wu Li' this seemingly natural change more and more, bigger and bigger, maybe one day a new nation created by Zhang Lisheng will be born unconsciously, become his most solid backing.
Because of Tevez's unintentional words, all kinds of thoughts flashed in the young man's mind, and he heard Someryl's inquiry ringing in his ears: "Tevez, where has McCartis gone?", Zhang Lisheng hurriedly shook his head slightly, no longer thinking nonsense.
"She was asked off by Mr. Luch early in the morning Sergeant Major Someryl," Tevez replied with a smile, "Luch is the leader of the Landman fleet and a wealthy businessman, and he is fascinated by McCutis, and has revealed a lot of valuable information about the Landland society. ”
"Do you mean that you have translated the language and script of the landlings?" Someryl asked the most crucial question as she walked into the spacious treehouse, sat down on a blanket of animal skins sewn together from a few herbivores that looked small in size but had shiny fur.
"Once the translation is out, we will be able to enter the program into everyone's 'translator' language in a moment," Tevez replied, "Sergeant Major, I have good news for you, that Mercartis and I have not only translated the language and script of the Landlanders, but have also succeeded in gaining the respect and trust of the Landland caravan, and they have invited us to visit their homeland when the fleet returns." ”
"Tevez, what we are looking for is an opportunity to integrate into the upper class of the 'landers'," Someril said calmly, "Do those merchants have a high status in the landland society?"
"Quite tall, Sergeant Someryl," Tevez replied excitedly and loudly, "The continent east of the Hell Islands is called the Greenleaf Continent, and those merchants come from Heinheimman City, the richest country in the coastal region of the continent.
The Catamane city-state is based on commerce, and the large chambers of commerce within the territory are the pillars of the state, and most of the city-state power is controlled by the nobles in secret, and their nobility is actually the wealthy merchant family, and the struggle between the various families is not bloodline and strength, but the amount of wealth..."
"Is this all this information from the merchant named Luke you just mentioned?" Someryl asked, interrupting Tevez's rambling words abruptly.
"Yes. ”
"Tevez, although you and Mercatis are both linguists, they are not good at communicating with strangers, I think all that information should have been said by Luke because he wanted to pursue Mercatis, right?"
"Yes. ”
"I see, Tevez," the Atlantean woman pondered for a moment, then nodded, and ordered, "Now pour the translation program into our 'translator' for the language and script of the landers, and then we will go to that Mr. Luke." (To be continued......)
