[Thank you for the support of the two big monthly passes, Flying Bird Underground, 72372853 users!] Now at the end of the year, foreigners are basically going to have a holiday at Christmas. Our export company is now busy with something, I originally wanted to change two more than 6,000 words a day this month, but now it is always one more than 5,000 words, which is a bit sorry for everyone. Strive to break out after this busy time, and repay everyone's support!]
Horn is nearly middle-aged and has two wives, three sons, and a daughter. He is tall and sturdy. He had unusual pale hair, which was draped shoulder-length, and his long hair was tied around his forehead with some kind of vine braided band. He was rugged in appearance, with a necklace around his neck made of animal teeth. There is no piece of clothing on the upper body, revealing well-defined muscle lines. The chest and abdomen are covered with scars, which are testaments to the warriors of the clan. The lower body is tied with a loose cloth skirt, barefoot, and the waist is not curved with a bone knife, and he looks arrogant.
He was standing in front of Priest Barry, and if Horn was a lion, then Priest Barry must be a monkey. But in the face of the ferocious lion, the monkey did not show any fear or panic, but looked at Horn with calm eyes.
Horn's chest rose and fell sharply, and Zuihou slowly let out a breath of air and said, "Priest Barry, if you want to see the child's body." Then I will fulfill you, and I can tell you very responsibly that you are not helping her, but harming her!"
"Horn, as a priest, I must maintain the scales in my heart. If Di Lei dies because of this, I think you should understand who will have a heavier karma. The priest waved his withered hand and said, "Go away, I want to rest." ”
With a snort, Horn angrily opened the tent and walked out. Outside the priest's tent, several men of various shapes were already waiting. They were tall and short, and three of them were no bigger than Horn, with the skull of some kind of beast on their heads, and some ancient motifs painted on their bodies in bright colors. Carrying in his hands were crude weapons that had been tightly bound together with the leg bones of wild beasts and sharp stone knives with ropes, and the figures of men were hideous. The other two were a shorter woman and a big fat man, and the woman did not wear too complicated clothes for the sake of mobility, but only wrapped her chest and strata with animal skins, and the rest of the place was exposed to the air. She carried a bow almost as tall as herself, and at her waist was a quiver made of animal skin, filled with rudimentary arrows. Zuihou that fat man always has a big belly, his ears are wearing bone nails, and he has a stone hammer in his hand. The stone hammer pressed on the soft ground, directly sinking the ground for several minutes, which was obviously not light.
"Aren't they back yet, Gitaro?" Horn asked aloud after leaving the tent.
The woman shook her head, and Horn snorted coldly: "These few wastes can't even catch a little girl." Tell a few more people to go out and look for it, and if that old thing inside wants to see Di Lei's body, let us fulfill him!"
"Leave it to me, big brother. The fat man smiled and patted his chest with his hand, shaking the fat on his body for a while, and he said, "If you catch Di Lei, can you let me play first." She's usually alive and kicking, and she must be very good to play. ”
"Whatever you want!" Horn said as he dropped the sentence and strode away. The others followed him, and the fat man smiled, carrying the stone hammer to his shoulder, but instead of following them, he left the village himself.
Exiting the village, one has to pass through a sheep's gut path to leave the valley. The path was winding and winding, at first just a natural crack, but later cleared by the Garans. There was a section of the road that had to be passed through the belly of the mountain, and it was so dark that you could only see clearly by lighting a torch.
At the entrance and exit of the mountainside, torches are kept all year round. The fat man came to the exit and picked up one at random, lit it with a flint and walked inside. This road has been walked many times on weekdays, and it is already familiar to the fat man, and he even hums a song happily. Imagine that after catching the girl from Dillet, he would have to play with her to kill her. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but laugh. Unexpectedly, before the laughter started, there was suddenly a figure in the light of the torch, and it was Di Lei.
"Haha, Di Lei, you actually sent it to the door yourself, that saves me a lot of effort, get over yourself, or I'll smash your feet with this big guy, and then use my own things to teach you a good lesson." The fat man slapped himself on the waist and walked towards Di Lei with a smirk.
To his surprise, Di Lei didn't laugh and said, "You are wrong, it is you fat pig who will be unlucky today!"
"What?" the fat man's face was angry, and he just wanted to teach this girl a profound lesson, when suddenly he felt a chill in his back. He trembled violently, only to feel a line of ice penetrate through his back, piercing into his warm and fat heart. Twisting it harder, an unimaginable pain hit, but it disappeared in an instant.
After all, those who have died will no longer feel any pain. Two thin lines of blood flowed from the fat man's nose, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the stone hammer was about to fall to the ground, but it was held by a steady and powerful hand. Zero appears after the fat man, and in his hand is a saber with the fat man's blood on it.
After Horn left, Barry didn't rest. There was always uneasiness lingering in his heart, pressing on his heart like a big stone. Horn was an ambitious man, and he was not willing to stay on this island for the rest of his life, as his father did, as both Waha and Barry knew. So Waha preferred to put the position of patriarch in the hands of Dyre, who believed that if Horn led the people, he would probably bury the Garan in the merciless sea.
Now that Vaha is dead, he died too suddenly and too quickly, so fast that Barry didn't have time to announce Vaha's last wishes, and Horn had Diere killed. It all happened so fast that the old priest couldn't react. But the only thing that can be done now is to press Horn as a priest not to hold a patriarchal succession ceremony. But he also knew that it wouldn't last long, once Horn brought back Dyre's body. Then as the only son of Waha, even if the priest objected, he would automatically become the patriarch.
The tent was suddenly lifted, and a figure entered from outside. Barry said unhappily: "Didn't I say it, don't bother me again" The old priest turned around, but what he saw was a petite figure, not who Di Lei was. He almost screamed, but luckily he finally held back. Then Barry saw another man, he was definitely not dressed by anyone in the clan, not to mention that he had rare black hair and eyes with black eyes and gold.
"Who is he, Dyre?" asked Barry.
"His name is Zero, and he's my samurai! ”
Barry was skeptical, and frowned again: "Di Lei, you should come back, but you shouldn't come back." The old priest was conflicted, and said, "Now that Horn is looking for you everywhere, you know what he wants to do without me saying it." If only Waha were still alive, but your grandfather is dead now, and now Horn is in the house. I'm afraid that if I personally announce that Waha will let you succeed you as patriarch, Horn will also obstruct it. Otherwise, you can go, find a way to get out of this island, and stop worrying about the Garans. ”
"No!" Di Lei said stubbornly, "I came back this time to become the patriarch." I must not hand my people into the hands of my uncle, for that would kill you. ”
"But what are you going to do?" said Barry, shaking his head.
Di Lei looked at Zero, clenched her fists and said, "Uncle must die, as well as his wife and children, and his men." These people must be cleared out of our Garan clan one by one, or we will never have peace. ”
Barry looked at Di Lei from top to bottom as if he were meeting her for the first time. Then he looked at Zero thoughtfully, he had watched Di Lei grow up since he was a child, how could he not know that with Di Lei's mind, he couldn't say such decisive words at all. Then the only possibility left is that this so-called samurai taught her. But Barry had to admit that if Dyret was to come back, it was the only way she could do it.
Of course, Horn must die, and his wife and children cannot be kept, even if the two sons and daughters are still young, but the hatred will spread. The only way to do it is to cut the grass and eradicate it, which is cruel, but it has to be done. Next, naturally, there was the one who stood on the Horn front, and Barry was confident that Deree wouldn't be unaware of what it meant to do so. But she said it now, and that alone was enough to impress Barry with her admiration.
But the priest was very suspicious that with a single foreign warrior, Di Lei could completely eliminate Horn and his faction.
Seeing the doubts in Barry's heart, Zero said lightly: "Don't worry, honorable priest, I will clear all the obstacles that stand in front of Di Lei's eyes." ”
"Yes? Our ancestors said it. Without bait, the fish will not take the bait. I want to know, what conditions did Di Lei promise you, and who are you, with such great ability to remove all obstacles by yourself?"
Zero didn't dodge his question: "As you can see, I'm not from this island. In fact, I'm from the southern continent. That's right, I made a deal with the future Garan Patriarch, I helped her become the Patriarch, and she was going to sell me your Green Crystal. Listen, it's a sale, and I'll trade it for the equivalent of the goods or what you need. Of course, if you are willing to live on the mainland, I can exchange it for mainland currency for you. But it's best not to go now, because there's a war going on there. ”
Barry nodded, and said, "Then tell me, what are you going to do?"
"I need a set of your clothes, and then ask Your Excellency the Priest to take me around the village. You'll have to tell me who Horn's people are, and then tell Horn to hold a patriarch succession ceremony. Of course, as for the real object of the ritual, you don't have to tell him. Zero said lightly.
"Well, hearing you say that, I feel that you really want to help Di Lei. Otherwise, even if Di Lei will die because of me, I will call Horn's people, after all, it is better to let the treasures of the clan fall into Horn's hands than to cheapen outsiders. Barry said in a deep voice.
Zero spread his hands and said, "Di Lei said that you are a wise person, and in the end, you did not make a foolish decision. ”
Di Lei was confused when she heard it next to her, but she didn't understand the meaning of the two people's words. In fact, Barry was able to tell from the fact that he was only trying to help Deure sweep up Horn's faction, with the purpose of cleaning up and establishing power. If Zero hadn't done this and had killed people casually, then instead of clearing the way for Di Lei, it would have created contradictions and hatred.
In the end, the Garans might be torn apart because of this, which is much more serious than having Horn as the patriarch. Moments later, Barry found Zero a set of Garan clothes. It's said to be clothes, but it's actually just a pair of pants. Blouses are something that only the elderly and women wear. Barry shook his head as Zero changed his pants to reveal his overly fair body.
The old priest brought some jars and jars out of nowhere, and then took something black from them and painted them on Zero's body. These things stink, and they smell zero and frown. But he said nothing, and let the priest paint him all over. When they were smoothed out, Zero's complexion became bronzed, covering his original complexion. Barry took some other colors of paint and painted here and there on Zero's body, and after a few moments, Zero looked like a native of the Garan tribe.
Zuihou, Barry holds a mask that covers the lower part of the eye for Zero to wear, so that as long as Zero doesn't speak, no one will know that he's an outsider. After doing all this, Barry told Dyret to hide in the tent while he left with Zero himself.
As the two walk around the village, Barry tells Zero that the population of the Garan is around a thousand, that basically every man is a hunter, and that only a few of the bravest can become warriors. There were about a hundred warriors in the village, and they would only go out against the most ferocious beasts. Horn was a good warrior in his own right, and he probably had about twenty warriors under him, five of whom were very powerful. Zero smiled when it was said that there was a fat man who made a stone hammer inside. Barry asked him what he was laughing at, and Zero said flatly, "That man will never come back." ”
Barry lowered his head to hide the shock in his eyes. The fat man's name was Sanger, and his strength was terrifying, and he definitely ranked among the top three among the warriors in the village. But such a person seems to be easily killed by the outsider in front of him. With the priest's reading, it was obvious that he couldn't understand what kind of existence the capable person was, let alone a ninth-order powerhouse like Zero.
At this time, when the villagers came back from hunting, from a distance, a team of hunters came back with several giant eagles the size of calves, as well as several giant pythons, including a giant crocodile with a length of 28 meters. But there were still a lot of wounded people in the back of the team, and it seemed that the villagers had paid a considerable price to hunt these things. When the hunters came to the entrance of the village, they were greeted by several tall men. Barry pointed to one of the gray-haired men and said, "That's Horn." ”
Zero was then introduced to several of Horn's generals, and with them in mind, Zero returned to the tent with the priest before the hunter entered the village.
In the evening, Horn receives news from Barry that surprises him that the priest has decided to hold a ceremony for the succession of the patriarch tomorrow. Hearing this, Horn sneered, "This old man has finally opened his mind, but after he announced that I will succeed me as the patriarch, we will no longer need any priests. In the future, I will have the final say on everything, and after the ceremony is over tomorrow, I will kill this old man!"
Early the next morning, in the square in the middle of the village, the priest of Barry arrived early with his beast bones. Today he was dressed in a very bright attire, with a crown of feathers of various colors, in a bit of Indian style. Last night the villagers had already heard that today the priest of Bari will have a ceremony to succeed the patriarch. Although he didn't say who he was going to hold it for, Dillei disappeared, and of course only Horn was the only one in the clan who was eligible.
After the clansmen had gathered, Horn and his three warriors were late. Five of his warriors, Black Fat Sander left the village yesterday to hunt down Dyre, and as for the female archer, she didn't participate, and no one knew where she went, except for Horn.
Just on a small hill to the west of the village, the woman peeked out from behind a large rock. She lightly lowered her bow and arrow to the stone, and from this direction she could see the square, and although it was several hundred meters away, the wind of the day, combined with the large bow in her hand, was enough to drive the arrow into the chest of anyone in the square. She's a pawn that Horn has set up here to prevent anything unexpected.
But not long after she appeared, Zero came behind her. Zero even looked at her carefully, but the woman just didn't realize that there was someone behind her. Usually her senses are also very sensitive, but today she met Zero, who is good at stealth sports. Zero restrained his breath, haunting the blind spot of the woman's sight, even if the two were very close, the woman was unaware.
It wasn't until Zero's slightly cool fingers touched the back of her neck that she suddenly realized. But it was too late, and with the sharp turn of her hands, the woman only heard a click on her neck, and she lost any consciousness. After killing her, Zero still had time to sit her in a straight position behind the stone, using a few stones to support her lifeless body, and then quietly retreated.
At this time, the succession ceremony in the square began. Priest Barry held the beast bone in high the hand, but a loud voice burst out from his thin body: "Fellow citizens of the Garan clan, our esteemed patriarch Waha has been dead for many days. But before he died, he had already told me the name of the next patriarch. Now, in the witness of the souls of our ancestors, I will announce her name. She's just that."
Horn smiled slightly, ready to play. Unexpectedly, Barry suddenly popped out of his mouth another person's name: "Di Lei! That's right, she is the heir designated by Waha!"
Horn's smile froze, and he shouted, "Barry, you old thing, you're a fool in your head!" Di Lei is not in the village at all, maybe he has been eaten by some wild beast. So the position of the patriarch can only be me!
At the end of his sentence, another voice rang out from the crowd: "It's you who are confused! Uncle Horn, who said I wasn't here, I've always been here!"
The nearby Garan people hurriedly got out of the way, and Di Lei walked into the square with his head held high, and pointed to Horn and said, "Today, I not only have to follow my grandfather's last wish to succeed as the new patriarch. And, I'm going to expose you to all of you. My own uncle, my grandfather's own son, did not hesitate to kill his father for the sake of power, and after knowing that my grandfather was going to pass on the patriarch to me, you sent someone to hunt me down!"
Di Lei's voice was not loud, but everyone in the square listened to it, and the square was in an uproar.
