Chapter 271: Monsters in the Lake
Sawan took Eto and Peso to the camp of the Black Bone Department at the appointed time. In order to welcome Savan, the Black Bone Department deliberately rearranged the camp, and the whole camp was covered with charred bones, which were the best decorations in the eyes of the wild people of the Black Bone Division, and were a grand ceremony to welcome distinguished guests.
Savin and Eto had already been here once, so he was no longer surprised, but Pessor was here for the first time, and he felt a little creepy to see it. The savages welcomed Sawan and the others to an open space in the center of the camp, where a tall bonfire was blazing, and the smell of burnt incense wafted through the air as stripped beasts roasted over the fire.
Pursa welcomed Savan as a representative of the tribe, and the men, women, and children of the tribe surrounded the clearing, and looked with curiosity at the great benefactor who had helped him defeat the Skinning Tribe. A strong savage came up with a stoneware jar in his hand, fell on his knees before Savin, and held it high above his head.
Pursa said to Savan, "Lord Savan, it is the rule of our tribe to offer the freshest animal blood to the most honorable guests, please drink it." ”
Hearing that it was a whole jar of fresh beast blood, Sawin suddenly felt his stomach churn, and a feeling of nausea immediately floated up, and Eto and Pesso on the side couldn't help but snicker. Sawin looked at the enthusiastic gazes around him, and had to sigh secretly, and stretched out his hands to take the jar of beast blood.
In the past, when he was in the ocean, Sawan also drank blood, but after arriving on land, he had become accustomed to cooked food, and now it was a little difficult to adapt to letting him go back and eat raw meat and blood. However, today Savin had no way to refuse, he would not stiffen the relationship between the two sides for such a trivial matter, so he took the jar and poured the beast's blood into his mouth.
Pouring all the beast blood in one go, Sawen couldn't hold back his nausea and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand, and then said with a smile on his face: "What fresh beast blood." ”
Pursa laughed, "Lord Sawan is really a bold man, and we in the Black Bone Department admire such a person the most!" The other savages also applauded.
Sawin secretly said in his heart: "If you let me drink blood, I will let you taste the power of wine." ”
So Sawin said to Eto, who was beside him, "Eto, give you the wine we brought." ”
This time to the banquet, Sawan asked Eto to bring more than a dozen jars of ale wine, all of which were packed in Eto's magic skin bag, and at this time, hearing Sawen's order, Eto hurriedly took out more than a dozen jars of fine wine. When the savages heard that it was wine, they all gathered around with curiosity, Pursa knew about wine, and he had tried to make wine, but because of the climate and raw materials, he could not achieve satisfactory results.
This time, Sawan sent more than a dozen jars of fine wine, and Pursa was very happy, so she accepted them all politely. Seeing that he didn't plan to drink it immediately, Sawin smiled and said, "Lord Pulsa, I brought these fine wines to drink tonight, so you might as well share them with everyone." ”
When Pursa saw that Savan said this, she naturally couldn't object, as long as she ordered someone to divide the wine, so the banquet began in a warm atmosphere.
Although the wild people's barbecue smells fragrant, but when they eat it, they don't feel so good in their mouths, and the wild people don't know how to cook, and these roasted beasts are almost full of fishy smell, and the three of them don't want to eat it anymore after eating a little. Luckily, Sawan brought wine, so he kept drinking to cover up his embarrassment.
Many savages drink for the first time and don't want to drink again after a little taste, but there are also some savages who like it so much that they hold the jar and drink it in large gulps. Soon the wine was in full swing, and the savages were seen walking with red faces and staggering as they walked, and some of the less drunk began to vomit, and the whole clearing was filled with a foul smell.
Pursa couldn't help but be a little annoyed when she saw this, but it was not good to have a seizure in front of Savin, and Sawin didn't say anything, but just kept toasting everyone. Seeing that more and more people were drunk, Pursa knew that the banquet could not go on, so she had to say to Sawin apologetically: "Let the adults laugh, my people haven't drunk much, so ......"
Sawin smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, just drink a few more times, I'll give you some wine when I get used to it." ”
Pursa said: "If you give us wine, it is better to give us some materials for making wine, so that we can learn to make our own wine." ”
Sawin rolled his eyes and said in his heart, "This Pursa is really an ambitious guy, but this ambition is nothing. ”
Sawin said casually: "No problem, I'll have someone send it when I go back, and if there are other needs, tell me as well, and I will try my best to meet what I can meet." ”
Pursa nodded, "Thank you, Lord Savan." ”
The two chatted for a while, and finally came to the legendary monster. Sawan asked, "I heard Resa probably say that there is a monster on the island, and he wants me to help you get rid of this monster, I don't know what this monster is?"
Pursa replied, "There is indeed such a monster, and it lives in a lake on the island, and since this monster no one dares to go back to the lake." Frankly speaking, I haven't seen this monster, but I heard from some people that this monster is probably a giant dragon, I wonder if there is anything you can do?"
Pursa's implication is clear, if you can't clean up this monster, let alone let the wildlings work for you. Savin naturally understood what the other party meant, he didn't want to tear the faces of both sides now, on the one hand, he hadn't transferred the army yet, and on the other hand, he didn't want to use war to make the savages submit, that was not a long-term solution.
Sawin nodded and said, "Is there a way that is still hard to say, at least I have to see what that monster is first?"
Pursa said, "There is no problem with this, and tomorrow I will send someone to take Master Sahain to inspect it." ”
Savan asked, "Has this monster lived on this island since ancient times, or has it only recently appeared?"
Pursa didn't understand why Savin asked like this, but after thinking about it, she replied honestly: "It only appeared more than a year ago, and it has never appeared before." ”
Sawin nodded after hearing this, and said secretly in his heart: "Since it has only appeared in the last year, it means that it is foreign, it seems that this is not the territory of the dragon clan, maybe it is something else, and I stayed here after coming here occasionally." As long as it's not a war with the dragons, it doesn't hurt to test it. ”
Seeing that Sawin was deep in thought, Pursa thought that Sawin was scared, so he smiled and said: "This monster is so terrifying that it often makes loud noises at night, so that the children in the tribe dare not sleep at night. In fact, it's not just children who are afraid, even strong men are often scared into a cold sweat. ”
"Has this monster ever hurt the people on the island?" asked Savan suddenly, coldly.
Pursa was stunned for a moment, and then said, "This ...... I don't think I've heard of it. After saying that, he felt that something was wrong, so he changed his words and said: "Lord Sawen, you think, everyone is scared when they hear the screams, and who dares to approach, so we all hide far away, so no one has been injured for the time being." ”
After listening to Pulsa's narration, Sawin already had a general idea in his heart, it seems that this monster should not belong to the dragon clan, as long as it is not a dragon clan, he has nothing to fear. So Sawin slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, we'll go see this monster tomorrow!"
That night, Sawan and the others stayed in the camp of the Black Bone Division, listening to the ubiquitous heavy snoring, and the three of them did not close their eyes almost all night. Early the next morning, Pursa arranged for a dozen strong savages to act as guides, leading the three of them towards the lake where the monsters lived.
Without saying a word, the group walked for a whole day before approaching the terrifying lake. The wild man who led the way pointed to a big mountain in front of him and said, "The lake where the monster is located is behind this big mountain, it's too late today, and I'll go over the mountain tomorrow." ”
Savin looked at the savages, and saw that they all had a look of fear on their faces, and they were a little frightened in their hearts, so they were not reluctant, and said, "Okay, let's rest here tonight." Then they lit a bonfire, ate a few things, and soon rested to their own people.
In the middle of the night, Sawan was suddenly woken up by a loud noise. He opened his eyes sharply, pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and sure enough, a creepy roar came from behind the mountain.
