Chapter 1290 Gurga Tribe
The living environment of the Gurga tribe swamp people living in the hinterland of the Baden Swamp fully matches the characteristics of their amphibian species. Most of them build dikes near the water's edge and live in burrows.
However, the learned and magical elders of the Boggard tribe are exceptions.
In order to preserve the expensive alchemy materials and spell scrolls for a long time, it is inconvenient for the elders to live in a damp cave dwelling, so they have to build another dry and ventilated room away from the water.
Joan and his entourage visited the Gurga tribe with Gudora and Gudella. As soon as they entered the settlement, they saw several strange buildings standing in the swamp from a distance.
These buildings are divided into upper and lower floors. The upper floor is an ordinary wooden building, while the lower floor is very simple. There are only four thick wooden piles deeply nailed into the water-logged ground as load-bearing columns. There is a rope ladder leading to the second floor in the center. , Even the walls are omitted, like a monster with four long legs plunged into the water, supporting the wooden building above.
After listening to Gudora's introduction, Qiao An learned that this unique style of building is called "Diaojiao Mulou", which is a special living room for the elders of the clan.
A wooden building located in the center of the boggard camp is the residence of the great witch Guslin.
Gudella propped up the raft with pennies, and sent the cousin and the visitors to the mother's wooden building on stilts.
Gudora asked Joan and the others to sit on the raft and wait for a while before going upstairs to report.
"Gudla, come with me."
"I won't go..."
Gudella fiddled with the penny with reluctance on his face.
"You boy, why are you still having trouble with your own mother? You are wandering outside these days, Auntie Guslin must be very worried about you, go and say hello." Gudora persuaded her cousin.
"She's worried about me? No wonder!" Gudella snorted and complained angrily: "My mother only thinks I'm embarrassing her, and I wish I could die outside..."
"Hey! In front of distinguished guests, what nonsense are you talking about! Give me enough time!"
Gudora glared at her cousin angrily, and forcibly dragged the second-year-old young man off the raft. The siblings stepped on the muddy water, bouncing up the wooden building.
Joan and the others waited for about ten minutes, and the Gua brothers jumped down the stairs again.
Gudella had obviously just been severely taught by his mother, and he was listless, like a frost-beaten eggplant.
Gudora was full of joy, and excitedly greeted the guests to go upstairs.
Gudella propped up the penny and moved the raft directly under the stilted building.
Joan stood up, raised his hand to grab the rope ladder, climbed up, and soon reached the second floor.
He turned around and grabbed Ruby's hand, and pulled the little girl up, followed by Medea and Gray Bird.
Bell was too big and not good at climbing ladders, so Gray Bird let him stay below to accompany Gudella to fish.
Finally, Gudora also went upstairs. The rope ladder is for visitors, not for the boggards.
Despite Gudora's chubby appearance, her jumping ability is quite amazing. With a kick of her legs, she flew twenty feet into the air, and easily went up to the second floor.
Gudora opened the door, and a rich smell of various herbs came out.
Joan followed Gudora into the house, and saw a pudgy female swamp in a yellow robe, facing the door, sitting cross-legged on a checkered carpet made of reeds, squinting a pair of swollen eyes, He looked at the young visitors with interest.
The female bog toad was so small that it was almost imperceptible, with a pair of big shining golden earrings hanging on her ears. She was holding a two-foot-long pipe in her hand. The brass pipe pot was as big as Ruby's fist, which made Joann suspicious. In fact, it was a weapon.
The appearance of the female swamp toad is four or five points similar to Gudla, and it is obviously his mother, the great witch Guslin of the Gurga tribe.
"Hey! Little guys, they all look very handsome, not bad, welcome to my house as a guest!"
The fat witch smiled and had a surprisingly loud voice, showing a strong character.
Gudora introduced the identities of the visitors to her aunt and mentor, and then retreated to a corner of the room, skillfully fiddled with the tea set, and made herbal tea for the visitors.
Guasilin squinted her eyes, looked at the visitors one by one, snapped her fingers casually, and a ball of flames rose from her fingertips.
She lit her pipe, took a deep draw, opened her wide mouth, and exhaled a stream of smoke rings.
Gudora held the hot herbal tea in front of everyone, and then brought a tray with an oddly shaped device that looked like a trumpet pump, and invited the guests to enjoy it.
Joan asked her curiously, and learned that this weird device was actually a hookah.
According to the customs of the Gurga tribe, expensive tea and tobacco will only be brought out when entertaining the most distinguished visitors, because these two things cannot be grown in the wetland environment, and gold, silver, jewelry or magic crystals must be used to go to the human market Redeem on.
Among the Gurga tribe, tea and tobacco are also status symbols.
There is a tea pot in a person's house, which shows that he is a nobleman. If there is still a tobacco box on the table, it means that he is probably an elder who is more noble than ordinary nobles.
Guasilin's status in the Gurga tribe is higher than that of the other four elders in the tribe, and she is also the so-called "King of Law" by the boggards. Of course, the hospitality is also the highest standard.
Joan doesn't know how to smoke, and Gray Bird waved his hand and declined.
Ruby was very curious about the hookah and wanted to try it, but was stopped by Medea. She picked up the hookah by herself and puffed clouds and fog skillfully, with a satisfied expression on her face.
Qiao An looked at Medea in surprise. She didn't expect that she not only likes to drink, but also has a hobby of smoking. Do you want to perm her head again?
Emmm~ How should I put it, Joan himself doesn't smoke, but he has to admit that Medea looks very handsome blowing out smoke rings, she is full of royal sister style.
Cigarettes and tea narrowed the distance between the host and the guests. Medea and Guslin had a pleasant chat, but when she raised her intentions, a smirk suddenly appeared on the chubby face of the witch aunt opposite. expression.
"One-horned rabbits, I do raise some here, but these little things are hard-won, so I can't give them to you for nothing."
Medea was not surprised by her attitude, she held a hookah and said with a smile: "Auntie, of course we can't take your rabbit for nothing, how much is one, you set a price."
Guasilin shook her head: "We don't talk about money among friends, it's too hurtful to talk about money, how about this, you guys do me a little favor, I'll give you three pairs of unicorn rabbits when it's done, how about it?"
Medea and Joan exchanged glances, and asked Guslin cautiously: "Tell me what it is first, if we have the ability to help, we will never refuse."
Guasilin nodded her head lightly, the smile on her chubby face disappeared, and she became extremely dignified.
"Very good, my friend. I hope your promise is not just a polite remark. Now I will tell you about the troubles that the Gurga Tribe is currently facing."
