Chapter 60 The Legend of the Giant Dragon on the Snow Mountain
"help you?"
When Ren heard this, he glanced at her, as expected.
Prisoners, what they want most is freedom.
But he didn't intend to just agree,
If this little barbarian girl guessed that she was eager to decipher a secret scroll, she might use this as a threat to put forward some other conditions.
Hearing this, Ren said coldly: "Do you think you are qualified to negotiate terms with me now?"
Wu Duo was stared at by Ren's eyes, but he didn't show weakness, and said proudly: "This kind of 'sacrifice language' tribe is only understood by our high priest lineage of the Coleman clan. Ten people! If I die, it will be impossible for you to find someone to interpret it!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Hehe. Are you threatening me?"
Ren stared into her eyes, not looking like she was lying.
Moreover, her statement is also reasonable.
A primitive tribe will certainly not have two complete writing systems, and it is obvious that the "Munkel Ancient Language" is much more complicated and profound than their Coleman language.
Perhaps, as she said, only the so-called "high priest lineage" in the tribe can understand the special ancient civilization language that can be interpreted.
But this also aroused Ren's curiosity. This oil bottle is only thirteen years old, and she can actually know this kind of ancient Chinese. In this way, her status in the tribe may be a bit special.
He is not in a hurry, anyway, the absolute initiative is in his own hands now.
"I'm just interested in the writing of this ancient civilization. You don't want to say it."
Ren would not give a prisoner a chance to beat a snake with a stick. He sneered and said again: "Since you don't want to help, then... please leave."
After speaking, he began to pack up the animal skins on the table with a cold face.
Now that I have borrowed it, it is natural to return it to the original place.
Hearing this, Wu Duo was really anxious.
Obviously, in the current situation, she is not qualified to negotiate terms at all.
Even if he is not tied up now, it is impossible to escape from the city.
Primitives who don't even know how to insert coins in a car, and don't understand the language, how can they escape from this heavily guarded "City of Glory" where there are countless magic restrictions?
Ren didn't speak again, as if he really didn't care about translating "Monkel Ancient Language" at all.
"I really need your help."
Finally, Udo endured her stubbornness.
The lives and deaths of the people of the tribe are all placed on her, and she can't delay any longer.
She changed into a pleading tone, and said: "I am a warrior of the Coleman tribe, and I am not afraid of death. But if I cannot rush back to the tribe, there will be a 'great terror' coming to this land, and my The Horde, and you, will die"
"hehe."
Obviously, this statement sounds loud, and the more mysterious it is, the more false it is.
What "big terror", do you think you will believe me if you scare me like this?
Ren naturally didn't take it to heart, with a completely unmoved expression.
However, he was also very curious about Udo's identity, and why she came to intercept and kill those mysterious people.
He was no longer in a hurry to translate, but wanted to find out the ins and outs of the matter, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "You caused the beast tide in the forest that day? That's why your magic backfired?"
The tone was very casual, and it was right to listen to gossip.
Udo knew that if he dared to hide any more now, this man would give up on her immediately, so he nodded: "Yes! Our Coleman family has a secret method that can manipulate monsters to go berserk. But my witch power is not enough to cover too much. A wide range of forests, so it was backfired."
Ren raised his eyebrows and understood a little.
He asked again directly: "You ran to the west of the 'Alcoron Mountains' to kill people?"
Alcoron Mountains?
Probably refers to the holy mountain.
"We're not here to kill!"
Udo corrected a sentence righteously.
After speaking, she hesitated for a moment, as if weighing whether to tell the truth.
But looking at the sneer at the corner of Ren's mouth, she knew that if she offended him with a word, she would be abandoned immediately.
She had to say truthfully: "The invaders sneaked into the sacrificial place of our clan and stole the sacred objects of the clan. We are here to retrieve the sacred objects."
Oh, it turned out to be for some "sacred object".
For wild hunters, barbarians, including people and treasures, are all objects of "hunting wilderness" in their eyes. Territory invasion and resource plundering are normal behaviors.
Hearing this, Ren was not too surprised.
Obviously, the "sacred object" might have been intercepted by the barbarians. Otherwise, those "mysterious people" would not be chasing after him.
Although Ren was also curious about what the holy object was, he didn't ask directly.
No matter how much she threatens something that can make a group of people give up their lives to get it back, she will definitely not say it.
Even if you really wanted to ask, it would be after translating the ancient scroll.
Ren asked again: "How did you come here? I mean how did you avoid this city and go to the other side of the mountain?"
Udo responded: "We flew here on a snow sculpture! For this reason, we were also attacked by the 'XX Warcraft', killing and injuring many tribal warriors."
She spoke a strange new vocabulary, and listening to the description, it looked like a terrifying flying monster.
The two didn't even describe what kind of monster it was with gestures, and finally Wu Duo had to use pen and paper to draw it.
When Ren looked at the looming flesh-winged lizard on the paper, he was startled: "Isn't this a dragon?"
"There are giant dragons on the snow mountain?"
It was the first time Ren heard of it.
At least for more than a year, he has never heard any legends about living dragons.
This kind of overlord-level monster that only exists in myths and legends, and in mythical civilizations, actually has living creatures?
It turns out that there is a black dragon's lair hidden somewhere in the snow mountain behind him?
Udo said with certainty: "Yes. At least a thousand years ago, there was a legend about that terrifying monster in the tribe. It is a huge monster with black scales and can breathe flames. It is the most powerful monster in the world. .”
Ren became more and more curious: "Did you see that black dragon when you came here?"
According to myths and legends, those big lizards like to collect shiny things, and the dragon's lair must be a place of treasure.
"not at all."
Wu Duo shook his head: "But I met some half-blooded sub-dragons who can also fly. They are the descendants of black dragons. They attacked the snow sculptures, which caused heavy casualties to the tribal soldiers."
"Okay. I have no other questions."
Ren didn't mention anything about the "sacred object", and Udo obviously relaxed.
He said directly: "Now, I need you to write down all the 'Words of Sacrifice' you understand, and then interpret it to me. If I am satisfied, maybe I don't mind helping you a little."
These words are also in the same flat tone as the previous gossip.
Its meaning is also obvious: if you like to talk, talk, if you don't talk, get out immediately!
Wu Duo looked resolute: "I can help you interpret the 'Words of Sacrifice', but I need your promise first!"
"."
Ren pursed his lips, showing an impatient expression.
This chick is so stubborn!
Wu Duo was afraid that he would leave him alone again, so he quickly explained: "If I can't go back in time, [The Kuroshio] will come to the world, and the tribe will be wiped out. So...I must go back as soon as possible!"
Kuroshio?
Another strange new term.
Not to mention whether there is such a thing, even if there is some "big horror", he is a first-order [awakened person] and he is not panicked at all if the sky falls and there is a tall man standing on top of it.
Ren still had no expression on his face, lost in thought.
Although she continued to suffer, it is estimated that this barbarian chick will also compromise.
But think about it, after all, translation is a delicate job, and there are hidden dangers for "tool people" to do things with emotions.
After pondering for a long while, Ren finally opened his mouth to break the awkward atmosphere.
He asked lightly, "What promise do you want from me?"
Udo: "Send me out of the city!"
Expected request.
Ren spread his hands: "If you behave well, I will consider it."
"I need a definite commitment!"
Udo shook her head, and as she spoke, she begged again: "Please! I know you are a good person, and you will definitely help me."
"."
Ren couldn't help but want to roll his eyes, and was sent a good card by a thirteen-year-old girl.
Unhurriedly, he asked with a sneer, "Hehe, you seem sure that I will help you?"
Udo said something: "I know the 'language of nature'."
"???"
Upon hearing this, Ren was stunned in turn.
Did the translation go wrong, what did I hear? This answer seems to have nothing to do with the question.
Udo said again: "I can perceive the emotions of monsters and all creatures."
"???"
Another string of question marks appeared on Ren's forehead.
What do you mean, this savage regards me as a monster?
Faintly, he guessed that this chick might have sensed his urgency to translate "Munkel's ancient language" because of some strange extraordinary abilities.
At this time, Udo explained again: "This is the ability given by the gods to our high priest Coleman, so that we can understand the 'Voice of All Things'. Although I didn't understand your language before, I know you It is different from those despicable invaders. This is why I beg for your help, I know you really want to learn the 'Words of Sacrifice', but I also sincerely hope that you can help me."
Ryan: "."
Sure enough, the chick saw through everything.
She seems to have a really magical ability.
Could it be that the legend that the barbarians are good at domesticating monsters stems from this ability?
Ren raised his eyebrows noncommittally.
Both sides have made their bargaining chips clear, and there is no need to continue to test.
He said directly: "Help me translate the 'Words of Sacrifice', and I can promise that I will do my best to help you out of the city in ten days."
After all, this chick is the countess' captive, and he has no right to promise anything indiscriminately.
But he didn't say this in a perfunctory way.
It seemed that the countess didn't care too much about the barbarian. When the time comes, I will intercede for her myself, and saving my life should not be a big problem. If it doesn't work, it's her own fate.
There is only so much I can promise.
"good!"
This time, Udo didn't hesitate any longer, and agreed decisively.
Because she sensed the "sincerity" of that promise.
