Chapter 176 The Three Sacred Movements
Lan Wu heard Yidaiya's question and quickly exchanged a glance with Ovira. This question is not easy to answer.
To be honest, it's not so much trouble as trouble. The main purpose of coming to the huge wetland this time is to rescue the woman who looks like Echo from the soul hunter tribe. But Yidaiya just thought that the three of them had encountered a difficult problem and helped out with kindness. It's true that the ultimate goal is the same, but the process is a bit...
If they were really entangled by the soul hunters and were hunted down, it would be reasonable to ask this Amazon tribe for help. But now I want to find trouble with the soul hunters. It's true that it's very troublesome, but inviting them to provoke that tribe is completely different.
Yidaiya saw that the three were silent and thought that the trouble Lan Wu and the other two had encountered was very difficult, and took the initiative to explain: "You have the sacred music, which makes you our Amazon's best friend. We Amazons will not regret it even if we die in battle to help our friends."
"What is the sacred music?" Lan Wu finally seized an opportunity to change the subject and immediately took action. Lobbying others to help you teach them how to behave won’t work without some preparation.
"The sacred music is a special rhythm passed down in the Amazon tribe. It is divided into three movements." Olvera spoke first without waiting for Yidaiya to speak: "The first movement is a call to action. All Amazons who hear the first movement must rush to the destination as quickly as possible. Usually, when facing an enemy that cannot be dealt with, the nearby Amazon tribes are called to join forces to meet the enemy. The second movement is a call for help. When the Amazon hears the second movement, it will know that there are fellow tribesmen nearby who need help. All Amazons who hear the second movement will take the initiative to come to the rescue."
At this point, Olvera looked at Yidaiya seemingly casually, then retracted his gaze and continued to explain to Lan Wu: "The third movement is a fight to the death. This is the most tragic movement of the three sacred movements of the Amazon tradition. It is a sacred movement that will only be played when facing an unmatched powerful opponent. It means to warn the nearby Amazons not to get close to avoid being implicated and losing their lives."
"It seems that you know our traditions very well." Yidaiya looked at Olvera with a faint smile on her lips, not hiding her appreciation for it at all.
Ovila's old face flushed slightly. This sign is not right. Only when an Amazon falls in love with a man will it show such a meaningful smile to him. When he thought of the consequences, he immediately shut his mouth and refused to speak again. If it goes on, it will be a betrayal of Barbara.
"Do outsiders know the Sacred Three Movements?" Lan Wu asked hesitantly, not familiar with the traditions of the Amazons.
"This is a secret of the Amazons. Even those traitors who abandon the tradition will not inherit the Sacred Three Movements." Yidaiya retracted her gaze and raised her smooth chin proudly.
Lan Wu guessed the traitors Yidaiya was talking about. She was talking about the Amazons living in the city. Although those Amazons have professional inheritance, they have completely lost the Amazon tradition in their lives. For this traditional Amazon leader, they are traitors to the entire Amazon tribe.
However, Lan Wu did not care about the exclusion between Amazons. He turned his eyes to the little girl, and suddenly realized. It turned out that this little girl was also an Amazon, and an Amazon who insisted on tradition. Otherwise, how could she play the Sacred Second Movement. At this point, he could not help guessing that Yidaiya and the others were summoned by the leaf flute played by the little girl.
"She is one of you. But I don't know which tribe she belongs to." Lan Wu immediately pushed the little girl out.
Regardless of whether he could convince the Amazon tribe to help him, it was worth it to find her own people. The next problem was very serious, and he did not want to be distracted by the little girl and make a big mistake. Even if he was unfortunately surrounded by soul hunters, one more little girl and one less little girl would be completely different results.
One death and one life.
"She is also an Amazon?" Yidaiya's eyes clearly showed a little more disbelief. Every Amazon will receive relevant training from the age of three to awaken the blood in their bodies. Generally speaking, by the age of ten, the Amazons who have not awakened their blood have died in the jungle. So far, there has been one exception.
"The sacred second movement you heard was played by her." Lan Wu did not hide it and told the fact that the little girl made a leaf flute to play the sacred movement.
"Unbelievable." Yidaiya exclaimed, looking at the little girl as if she saw a monster.
The little girl was not angry because of Yidaiya's tone, and she still stuffed the dried meat into her mouth silently. Just before the end of the banquet, she grabbed a handful of it as a snack.
"We are going to the soul hunter tribe to rescue the captured woman." Lan Wu said solemnly: "I hope you can take her in for the sake of being Amazons, and find her father... uh, mother."
"This is a small matter." Yidaiya stared at the little girl and said casually: "We will help you deal with those dirty dwarfs."
"Thank you." Lan Wu smiled. Since the Amazons don't object, there is no need for him to be so hypocritical. Being too hypocritical is hypocrisy.
"But..." Yidaiya changed the subject, then retracted her gaze and looked at Lan Wu with a sharp look: "But I can't take her in."
"Huh?" Lan Wu was dumbfounded. The little thing Ganqing mentioned just now was not about taking in the little girl and finding her mother, but about the whole clan going out to deal with the soul hunters.
"She is an abandoned Amazon." Yidiya looked a little unnatural: "I remember. Five years ago, a tribe expelled a five-year-old little girl. This incident has spread among our tribes. Not for a short time. If I hadn’t seen the mark of being expelled from the tribe on her forehead, I wouldn’t have remembered it.”
"Five years old? Expelled?" Lan Wu was surprised and quickly looked at the little girl. As expected, the little girl had a faint leaf-like mark between her eyebrows, which almost blended into her skin color. If you don't look carefully, almost no one will realize that this is a mark.
The little girl still stuffed the dried meat into her mouth calmly, as if she was not talking about herself, but about another person. There was no trace of the experience of wandering in the jungle when she was five years old.
"I remember. She is my direct descendant." Bruna suddenly said, causing Lan Wu to jump.
"Your... direct descendant?" Lan Wu was confused. It was already very complicated, but Bruna's sudden words made the situation even more complicated. What kind of rhythm is this?
"The oldest Amazon tribe has a tradition." Bruna fell into the memories sadly: "Whenever the successor of the leader is decided, the children who meet the age will be imprinted and expelled from the tribe. Only when they grow up to At a certain point, the mark will disappear, and the people in the tribe will be prompted to leave the tribe to retrieve it and make her the leader of the tribe. No wonder I feel that she is a descendant of me. "
After listening to Bruna's explanation, Lan Wu had a strange expression on his face and looked at the little girl strangely. Judging from the condition of the mark, the little girl might be taken back by someone from the tribe soon. Thinking of this, he felt relieved, stood up and begged.
"Sorry, time is tight. That woman may be eaten by those dwarfs at any time. Please arrange a place for her to rest. I will take her away when I come back."
Yidiya was stunned, hesitated for a moment, then took out her bow and arrow and shot a loud arrow out the window.
