After hearing Ye Li's words, the old man had no doubt at all and nodded, saying: "The descendants of the Black Eyed King used to live in seclusion together, but now they live separately. They all like to live in hiding."
When Ye Li heard the old man's words, he pretended to be surprised and said, "Really? I don't know much. My father is a taciturn man. Although he mentioned the matter of the Black Eyed King, he didn't go into details. As a result, I don't know what the Black Eyed King did."
The old man laughed and said, “It seems that your father has a typical character of a descendant of the Black Eyed King, but the Black Eyed King’s character is completely different.
According to legend, the Black-Eyed King came from the other side of the Cloudy Sea and came to us after a shipwreck.
He is a very high-profile person and has been looking for people to fight with since he came to our continent.
He is very powerful, and although his fighting style is very different from ours, he is very formidable when he fights.
Relying on his own strength, he managed to carve out a name for himself here. Many people who admired him joined him, and eventually formed a powerful force.
Afterwards, many people who had fled to our continent for the same reasons as the Black-Eyed King went to join the Black-Eyed King's forces.
They occupied one area and fought against many hostile forces. It was not until the accidental death of the Black-Eyed King that this powerful force was ended by the hostile forces.
It took only fifteen years for the Black Eyed King to come here, rise, and become a local giant. His experience is truly legendary."
After hearing the old man's words, Ye Li couldn't help but feel curious about who this Black-Eyed King was.
Judging from what the old man said, it was obvious that this Black-Eyed King was from their continent and was a master.
This master drifted to this continent alone, then made a name for himself and established a huge force in fifteen years. This is indeed a remarkable act.
"Senior, when did the Black Eyed King come to us? Didn't we reject him or those like him at that time?"
Ye Li deliberately used the word "we" to show that he was born and raised here.
The old man had no doubts about Ye Li's question. After all, Ye Li had said at the beginning that his father was taciturn and did not specifically mention the Black-Eyed King.
The old man replied, "The Black Eyed King came here a thousand years ago. We were a little bit repulsive at first, but we were mostly out of curiosity.
After all, he is not a monster, he is also a human being. After seeing him for a long time, you will get used to it and everyone will accept his existence.
The many people with black hair and black eyes who arrived later were collectively called the Black-Eyed Tribe. They also settled down here and lived just like us.
I think I used this word correctly. It was taught by my black-eyed friend when I was a child.
By the way, many of the Black-Eyed people have now married our people to form families. The children born do not necessarily have black hair and black eyes, but they all have some characteristics of the Black-Eyed people.
But I see that you seem to be a very pure Black-Eyed Clan, and your ancestral bloodline should be quite pure, just like my childhood playmates."
After hearing the old man's words, Ye Li finally understood why the other party could speak their language.
After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Ye Li and continued, "By the way, I forgot that you just woke up and your body must be very weak.
I checked your injuries before, and it seems that you have a strong body, so you must be a cultivator. Are you practicing the traditional fighting skills of your Black Eyed Clan? What's your name, a Spirit Talisman Master?"
Ye Li didn't lie when he heard this, he nodded and said, "I am indeed practicing traditional fighting skills. My father said that we are spiritual talisman masters."
After hearing this, the old man nodded and said, "Your spiritual talisman masters' fighting skills are quite powerful, and they are similar to our fighting philosophy, but also different.
They can also use something called talismans, which are somewhat similar to our monster companions.
However, in recent years, your talismans have become less and less. The descendants cannot completely inherit the talismans of their predecessors, and not many people can cast such things. Therefore, the current spiritual talisman masters have also learned our method of taming beasts, found monsters as companions, and gave up using talismans. "
Hearing what the other party said, Ye Li said: "Is that so? My father never said this, but I don't have any monster companions, and I don't know how to get one."
The old man looked at Ye Li's age and asked, "Little brother, what's your name?"
Ye Li was stunned, but immediately answered truthfully: "My name is Ye Li, I wonder what to call you, senior and this young man."
The old man smiled and said, "Ye Li, this name is a standard Black Eyed Clan name.
My name is Ross Xos. You can call me Uncle Ross instead of Senior.
As for my grandson, his name is Jacques Kosos, you can call him Jacques. He can't speak your language, so it will be difficult for you two to communicate.
But if you want, I can teach you our language, and you can stay in this village.
Anyway, didn’t you say that you are the only one left in your family? Since you have come out to make a living, you should at least find a place to settle down. Although our village is a remote little place, it is still under the jurisdiction of the Farant Empire.
The Farant Empire is considered a big country on the continent. If you stay here, you should be able to integrate into society quickly and develop in a better place in the future."
Ye Li was stunned when he heard Ross's words. However, when he saw the sincerity in the other person's eyes, his vigilance was reduced a lot.
"Uncle Ross, can I stay here? Why are you helping a stranger like me?"
Ye Li asked, in his opinion the other party's enthusiasm was a bit too much.
Ross laughed and said, "Don't worry, I don't have any bad intentions towards you.
The treasure of the Black-Eyed King is just a legend. Not to mention whether it exists or not, even if it does, it doesn’t mean that you will know where it is just by meeting a member of the Black-Eyed Tribe.
The reason why I help you is because when I was ten years old, a young man from the Black Eyed Tribe helped me in the same way.
Without him, there would be no me today. I would probably not even live to be ten years old and would die. He gave me a new life and I am eternally grateful to him.
He is the one who taught me the language of the Black Eye Tribe. His name is Chai Tian. However, I haven’t seen him for ten years and I don’t know if my old friend is still alive. ”
Ross looked a little bleak as he spoke, with a hint of nostalgia and worry in his eyes.
Ye Li then understood that Ross had been helped by the descendants of the Black-Eyed King in the past, so he felt close to him when he saw someone with black hair and black eyes like him.
