1258 One finger
"No, don't dare!" As if Reposti had seen through his thoughts, Muyakodir hurriedly lowered his head, his face was pale and apologetic, and he didn't dare to look at Reposti, and hesitated for a moment before taking the initiative to respond
"Your Majesty guessed right, such a huge Red City is indeed not just to protect this altar located in the center, in fact, the secret of the Red City is not on the ground, but under the red soil layer, and the entire Red City itself is only a part of this altar" "Under the Red City?" In order to illustrate, Muyakodir personally got down from his war horse, half-squatted down in front of the crowd, picked up a handful of red clay under his feet with his hands, stood up and walked to the fat man and spread out his hands in front of him, showing them in the palm of his hand. It is a dry red fine particle, not the usual sticky wet soil, "If Your Majesty stands on a high place, you will find that the entire red clay platform is actually a huge red line" Muyakodir's slightly frightened gaze suddenly became deep, stretched out his hand holding the soil, and slowly released his five fingers, and the fine crushed soil inside, like a red stream, leaked from the gap between the slightly thick fingers, revealing a little weirdness and shock,
Muyakodir said slowly, " To the north of the laterite plateau is the northern part of the black forest with dry climate and yellow sand, and to the south is the lower black forest with dense forests and rich vegetation"You mean to say. Hearing this, the fat man took a deep breath of cold air, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, what is this! He couldn't help but get off the horse and grab a handful of red soil under his feet, looking at these dark red soil particles, the divisions are very fine and uniform, not like the general viscous soil, like the fine feeling of water flow, bringing people a shocking sense of impact,
Like charred sand, to be exact. There was a faint smell of heat, and sure enough, the temperature was much higher than outside, and the fat man stood on the ground, feeling like a huge hot spring was surging under his feet, "We are not sure about this matter" Muyakodir said with a sullen expression, "But during the period when our clan served as the guardian, it was not that they did not carefully trace the origin of the Red Clay Altar, but the secret of the Holy Land is too difficult to explain in words, and the warriors who went down basically did not come back." I can only tell you that, according to the records of our ancestors, the laterite plateau did not exist in the dry desert area of northern Zài when our people first arrived here. And they are all large areas of dense forests similar to those in the south, and in the past 300 years, they have gradually formed a completely different climate and landform from the north and south!"
"Since we can't mention it verbally, can the patriarch take us to see it himself?" the fat man could hear the loosening meaning in Muyakodir's words. According to his guess, the red clay altar was probably built on some kind of underground heat source, which is why such a strange situation occurred.
The climate change of the Black Forest for hundreds of years and the formation of the northern desert area are likely to have changed because of this underground heat source, but in this era, most people do not know what the underground heat source is, so they are so in awe.
To the fat man's surprise, Muyakodir shook his head sweating profusely, and smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth, "Although I can do it, but now, I'm afraid I can't!"
"Muyakodil, are you teasing His Majesty?" Reposti shouted angrily next to him, the fat man's face was slightly cold, which also made Muyakodil's heart tremble, and he hurriedly defended with a sad face, "It's not that I'm teasing Your Majesty, it's really because the opening of the holy land requires a great sacrifice for the whole clan, otherwise it will lead to the disaster of extermination!" And the time of sacrifice must be in the morning when the sun rises, and today has passed the sacrificial time, there is really no way!"
"Alright, let's wait until tomorrow!" the fat man looked at Muyakodir's hesitant face, and felt that this should not be a lie, so he promised to wait until tomorrow after the sacrifice, and then Muyakodir would take him to the so-called holy place
200 guards skillfully pulled out a clearing outside the red clay city and erected a tent for the march, although there was nothing unusual about the Muyako tribe, but as the personal guard of the Falcon Majesty, they would never let the Falcon Majesty rest alone in the city, and in the event of an accident, no one dared to take this responsibility.
When the moonlight poured down from the direction of the mountains outside the city, in order to welcome the arrival of His Majesty the Falcon, the Muyako tribe held a welcome grand dinner, and the banquet was held in the large open space outside the city.
More than 2,000 people formed a large circle of nearly 100 people, sitting on the ground, around the bonfire of barbecue mutton in the center of the circle, the aroma was overflowing, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.
The fat man sat in the middle of the chairman, on the left hand side were Muyakodil and a dozen nobles of the Muyako clan, and on the right hand side were Reposti and the two guards squadron leaders, and everyone kept persuading them to drink and eat.
The fat man used a dagger to cut off a piece of hot and spicy leg of lamb from the lamb plate handed to him, and the wine contained in the horns of the ox suddenly passed the bitter drink, and the people who were in charge of the fruit and wine were some young people about 14 or 5 years old.
These young people wore a headdress on their heads that had just completed the New Year's ceremony, it was a brown wolf hair, the fat man knew that it was the longest tuft on the wolf's tail, it seems that the coming-of-age ceremony of the Muyako tribe should be to challenge the wild wolf alone to obtain the longest cluster of wolf hair on the wild wolf's tail, this custom is very popular in the whole southern Saland, it is said that in the previous peaceful era, the young people of Salander who were unwilling to take risks directly paid hunters to collect wild wolf hair,
The fat man didn't believe that these Muyako boys did the same, just from the agile and capable movements and demeanor of these boys, it can be seen that the Muyako people in the wild land still maintain this ancient and strong tradition.
"Your Majesty, they all say that you are the reincarnation of the god of war in the sky, and you have never met an opponent, I don't know if it's true?" As the wine was drunk, a young man with a particularly stout figure stood up from the seat of the Muyako clan. The drunken face suddenly stood up, came straight to the fat man, and said solemnly
"Ai Yadong, are you crazy! You actually talk to His Majesty the Falcon like this!" Muyakodir, who was raising his neck and pouring wine, looked at the young man of his clan who didn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth very angrily, his red eyes were bloodshot, and he scolded loudly,
There was a sudden silence all around, and countless pairs of surprised eyes looked at each other, except for the crackling of the campfire and the explosion of mutton fat dripping on the flames.
"What? It's just a greeting!" the young man looked drunk, and his face was full of indifference,
"Hehe, what a greeting, born calves are not afraid of tigers, I like it!" The fat man was also a little drunk, and in the face of the embarrassing and strict atmosphere, the corners of his mouth smiled, resolving this crisis and becoming invisible. Said with slightly squinted eyes
"Since the banquet is so hot, why don't I make a bet with you, I can make you unable to stand up with just one finger! I'll reward you with that dark shadow of mine, and if I win, drink it all!"
"I'm only afraid of ......"
Muyakodil hesitated for a moment, just in time to see Reposti on the other side slapping his eyes at him. It seemed to mean "Do you want to question His Majesty's decision?" Muyakodir's half-standing body sat down slowly, anyway, this was not the time to come out and persuade him
"I don't believe a finger can keep me from standing up!" said the young man's face full of disbelief. He is not only the nephew of the patriarch Muyakodir, but also the number one warrior in the Muyako clan.
He came straight to the fat man angrily, knelt down on one knee, his drunken eyes stared at a finger that the fat man stretched out at random, and put it lightly on his forehead, he glanced upward, and the corners of his mouth showed a winning smile, even if you are an invincible falcon, you can't hold it up like this
"Can I start?" asked the young man in an accentuated tone, he didn't feel any difference from this finger, if anything, it was that the flesh was thicker, and the eyes around him were all focused on him, which made him feel very happy, to be able to win the famous Vechia Falcon, no matter what, was something to boast about, and it was definitely an immeasurable satisfaction for the vanity of young people
"Come on, Aiyadong!" some young people shouted excitedly in the distance, and from their cheerful shouts, you could feel the vitality of the young generation of the Muyako people
"It's stupid!" Reposti, who saw this qiē in his eyes, shook his head disdainfully in his heart, only those who have been on the battlefield will know the power of the falcon, one finger looks weak, but if it is known for its cunning and treacherous falcon, then it is another matter! One finger of the falcon is enough to crush ten such young people who don't know the height of the sky!
"Then I'll be offended! If there is any collision, please forgive me" The young man who knelt on one knee was full of confidence, with a bit of pride that belonged to young people, and his tone seemed a little sober, it didn't seem to be the drunk and reckless kind before,
"Of course! It's just a game, why take it too seriously" The fat man smiled disapprovingly, a subtle cold light flashed in his eyes, pretending with me, you are still far away!
"Get up!" With a heavy snort from the young man's gritted teeth, his limbs were completely tensed, and the half-kneeling leg muscles gradually increased his strength, struggling to pull his body up, his face became more and more red, as if he had been poured bright red blood, for more than ten seconds, everyone was looking forward to him standing up, but unfortunately no matter how hard he tried, the body that was pulled up was under the pressure of one of the fat man's fingers, and he did not move at all,
"For ...... Why is this happening!"
The young man's proud expression just now was like being pierced through the ball at this moment, and the whole person stayed there.
"Look, Ai Yadong really can't stand up!"
"It's incredible, Falcon Majesty is really the reincarnation of the God of War!" There was already a gasping voice of discussion around him, and in front of everyone's eyes, no one would think that Ai Yadong deliberately released water, because his body was suppressed by His Majesty Falcon's fingers, and he was completely in a state of tension when he was concurrently concurrent, and this kind of physical reaction could not be faked in the eyes of these Muyako people who lived by fighting,
As a man of the Muyako clan, he naturally would not think that Ai Yadong, the number one warrior in the clan, would be defeated by one finger, but the fact that he was in front of him was ironclad. Undoubtedly, it shows that with only one finger, the Falcon Majesty completely made the number one warrior in the clan, Ai Yadong, unable to move!
"Do you want to continue?" The corners of the fat man's mouth turned up slightly, and he looked at the red-flushed Ai Yadong with an aggrieved face under his fingers with a smile,
According to the explanation of physical mechanics, when a finger is pressed against a person's forehead, the person's center of gravity will shift from the front to the back. And if you want to stand up, your center of gravity must be in front. So it's not because of the strength of the fingers,
But without knowing this truth, it is impossible to believe it in any way, and in order to make the Muyako from a pro-imperial faction to a desperate follower of the empire, it takes not only force, but also wisdom
"I ...... Recognize...... Lose!"
Five or six minutes passed. Ai Yadong, who stood up hopelessly, finally spit out word by word with a pale face, and as his words came out, the faces of the surrounding Muyako people also became equally pale. He had done his best, but the fingers that the other party put on his forehead seemed to carry an inexplicable divine power, like a whirlpool that dissolved and poured into his forehead. Canceling out all the upward strength of his whole body, the feeling was like suppressing not a light finger on his forehead. It's a heavy mountain that can't be crossed
"It's terrible, is this still human power?" A sigh of horror rose in everyone's hearts, and a finger made the first warrior of the clan completely unable to fight, which had completely subverted their cognition
"Come, let's make this toast for the eternal prosperity of the Muyako!" the fat man shouted to the Muyako people around him, raising the wine glass in his hand
"Long live, for the Empire! For Your Majesty!" a rumbling voice of response rang out all around, which was different from the previous reluctant voice, it was a real cheer of heartfelt convincing,
The whole banquet lasted until late at night, and to the surprise of the fat man, he did not see any Muyako women during the whole process, and the fat man was a little drunk and returned to his tent with the help of Reposti.
"Your Majesty!" the two guards standing guard looked at him strangely, and saluted in unison
"Except for the patrol, everyone else should go down and rest, everyone is tired!" the fat man waved his hand to the two, and Reposti also took the opportunity to say goodbye, and staggered away a little drunk,
The stars in the sky twinkled, like countless pairs of eyes, the fat man took advantage of the cool night breeze, looking at this red land from afar, the banquet dispersed, the Muyako people did not return to the city, but set up thousands of camps outside the red clay city, under the cover of the starry night, densely extended endlessly, from the gap in the direction of the cliff, but also revealed the warm fire light inside, scattered like stars on the huge high ground. One or two neighing horses and sheep's chirping, mixed with the intermittent cries of children coming from the tent in the distance, were quiet before going to bed.
When the tent door was opened, the fat man's hand suddenly stopped, and he looked inside in astonishment
Under the influence of alcohol, the fat man fell into a momentary distraction, and saw a young girl in a white robe, kneeling on the thick sheepskin felt in the tent, her head hanging down on her chest, and her black hair shining under the light of the mutton fat lamp, and said crisply, "Welcome to Your Majesty"
This is the first Muyako woman to see after the arrival of the fat man, although she is wearing a simple but soft white robe, her head is lowered, and she can't see all her faces, but just kneeling there, it gives people an indescribable natural beauty, and the environment here is very suitable, and the white color also makes the fat man's heart get a pure feeling No, although he can't see the face clearly, but the fat man can also feel that this must be a very good beauty "Who are you...... Why are you here?" the fat man, with a somewhat drunken face, was also awakened by this unexpected situation at this moment, his eyes blinked, and he asked with an embarrassed expression
The girl lowered her head, and under the dim tent light, she blushed a little and said softly, "Ai Yadong's sister Ash, please see Your Majesty." "The voice is soft and beautiful. Still shy and hung his head and said, "My brother lost the bet with His Majesty, according to the rules of our Muyako clan, in order to prevent private fights within the clan, the losing party must sacrifice an intra-clan self-servant, so the Ai Yadong family must also pick out a woman to compensate His Majesty, and after discussion within the clan, it was decided that I will serve His Majesty tonight!"
"This ...... And I'm not from the Muyako tribe" The fat man's face was full of embarrassment, and he secretly cursed in his heart No wonder Reposti helped himself out of the tent just now, and immediately said goodbye and ran away, he must know this custom,
"Your Majesty, but I dislike Ash for being too ugly!" the girl said pitifully, her hands hanging down in fear,
Under the light, revealing a pretty and shy beautiful face, it is a wild beauty, and the two lips that are particularly rich and bright red can make any man grateful for the challenge, and the eyes shine like a flame, as if it can melt a man's heart.
"No, you're beautiful! it's just that I want to be alone tonight," the fat man replied unconsciously, but he felt that something was wrong, and sure enough, he saw a look of decline on Ash's pretty and wild face,
"I didn't expect that in the eyes of His Majesty, I am so worthless!" Ash sighed deeply, stood up with a bit of resentment, and quietly unveiled the account, followed by her soft sobs (to be continued. )
