However, only Hao Ren knew about the secret connection between Vivian and the Goddess of Creation. The others were puzzled at this moment. They felt that the aboriginal man in front of them must have made a mistake—perhaps there happened to be a sympathetic in this world. Vivienne is a similar-looking but high-status figure, which is the easiest explanation they can think of. Hao Ren knew that it would be troublesome to explain the reason, so he simply changed the topic: "Vivienne, please cooperate first."
Vivienne had a question mark on her forehead: "Cooperate with what?"
"Pretend that you are awesome," Hao Ren whispered in Vivian's ear, and then came to the man, "Stand up, we have something to ask you."
Vivienne followed behind in a daze, and it took a long time to mutter to herself: "I'm already very powerful, I'm over ten thousand years old..."
The "tribal warrior" was still in great chaos, his eyes were constantly moving between Vivienne and Heatherna, and more attention was paid to the dagger in his hand: the red color of the dagger The light had been flickering since just now, and it became brighter as Vivian and Heatherana approached. Hao Ren pointed to the dagger: "What's going on?"
"Tribal warrior" didn't pay attention to Hao Ren at all, he just bowed his head to Vivian in trepidation: "Goddess, why did you come?"
Vivian was stunned for a long time, but Hao Ren couldn't help poking her arm secretly: "I'm talking to you, hurry up and make up something."
"Eh... oh," Vivienne looked confused, she was really not good at fooling people like this, "I... I'll come down and have a look, passing by, just passing by."
The "tribal warrior" didn't care about such an inexplicable answer at all, and his attitude of awe was the same as before: "This world is prosperous as you wish, and the spirits of all living beings will surely welcome your arrival with joy."
Hao Ren realized that he was being ignored, so he had to cough harder: "Ahem, why don't you introduce yourself?"
"Tribal warrior" looked up at Hao Ren suspiciously, and then revealed a sudden expression: "I am the great warrior of the Hanuk tribe of West Wind, Gezel."
"The Hanuk tribe of West Wind?" Hao Ren frowned. "There are many people like you?"
Geisel didn't quite understand Hao Ren's question, he hesitated a bit: "Each tribe has less than ten great warriors. The holy blade bestowed by the goddess is limited, and not everyone is eligible to obtain it."
Originally, Hao Ren wanted to ask the other party about population, but Geisel obviously misunderstood it as something else. He mentioned the Holy Blade. When Hao Ren heard the word, he couldn't help but look at the short knife of the opponent: "You mean this? Can I have a look?"
Geisel had a strange look on his face, he seemed to feel that the strangers walking with the "goddess" in front of him were a bit suspicious. Noticing his hesitation, Vivienne finally knew what to say in this situation: "Let him see, we have to check... um. Check if everything is normal with the holy blade that was given to you, after all, in the past It's been a long time."
Following Vivienne's words, the short knife also emitted a more obvious light. This light seemed to be a signal to make Geisel put down all doubts and respectfully hand over the weapon to Hao Ren.
Hao Ren took the dagger, and looked at this strangely shaped weapon more and more curiously. This is a short weapon that is only more than one foot long, with a strange handle made of non-gold and non-wood, and the blade part has a curved shape like a leaping flame. Complicated lines can be seen on the knife body, and its shape is between pictographs and simple patterns, which are interpreted by the translation plug-in. This is a prayer in praise of wind and water.
The workmanship of the short knife is extremely exquisite, and the texture of the carved part is almost like an industrial product manufactured with high precision. After seeing Geisel's rough leather coat and the handmade shortbow on his back, it is hard to imagine that he or his people can make weapons of this precision.
Perhaps as he said, this is the holy blade bestowed by the "Goddess", not cast by humans.
"Do you have any impression of this?" Hao Ren turned his back on Geisel's gaze and showed Vivienne the dagger for inspection.
Vivienne was a little confused: "No, I don't remember having this kind of thing. And I was so poor back then. If I wanted to get such a high-level weapon, I would have traded it for food. A hundred years ago, human society was a huge fortune."
Hao Ren stroked the lines on the dagger that were glowing red: "But it is obviously reacting to you."
Vivienne put her hand over the dagger, and the red light on the latter's surface immediately brightened to its peak. A surging, almost life-like breath came from the dagger, and the metal made a slight sound as if it was jumping for joy. Lily stuck out her tongue beside her: "He said it wasn't yours."
"The power on it is indeed very close to mine. But this knife really doesn't belong to me." Vivian glanced at Hao Ren, "Do you know something?"
"I'll tell you when the time comes," Hao Ren said briefly, then turned around and returned the dagger to Geisel, "here, it's in good condition. Can you take us to your clan's place now?"
According to normal logic, a person would not be alone on this kind of prairie, and this Geisel seems to be an important figure in a certain tribe, so the "Hanuk tribe of West Wind" mentioned by the other party should be nearby. Perhaps it is stationed in a certain position that the probe has not had time to check before.
Geisel agreed without hesitation, but he glanced at the surrounding ruins with a little embarrassment: "I came here with a mission..."
"Oh, I'll take care of you first." Hao Ren nodded, and found that Geisel was still a little hesitant, so he dragged Vivian to make her nod, "She also agrees."
Only then did Geisel feel relieved. He first ran to find the quiver and arrows he had dropped, and then ran to the large platform with many stone slabs and steles under the curious eyes of Hao Ren and the others. He took out some herbal powders from his cloth bag, and set them ablaze on the stone platform with an almost sacred gesture. The smoke caused by the burning of the herbs floated to the nearby stone slabs, while Geisel carefully observed the smoke. With a serious expression on his face.
At the same time, he seemed a little stiff and awkward.
This restraint and embarrassment came from Vivian who looked curious not far behind.
Hao Ren believed that Gezel was carrying out some kind of religious ceremony, and he came to this ruins alone, perhaps with a mission from the tribe: such as coming here to worship the goddess. And Vivienne, who is regarded as a "goddess", is watching from the side, and it will be embarrassing for anyone else. After all, not every god has the style of Raven 12345, and not every pope is as capable of cursing at his own god as Hao Ren.
It didn't take too long for Geisel to complete these rituals. After he stood up, Hao Ren took the initiative to greet him: "Let's go, and tell me about your tribe by the way."
At the same time, he also issued a new command to the data terminal in his mind: "Let all probes be withdrawn from the cloud tops and the surface crust, and now start to scan this 'underground world' more intensively, this space is bigger than we imagined interesting."
Geisel didn't even ask about the identities of Hao Ren and his party. It seemed that Vivienne was enough for him to trust these strangers. He mentioned some things in this world. Since Hao Ren wasn't sure if the other party knew about the other layer of earth's crust above his head and the condition of his eldest son, the scope of his inquiries was limited. The first thing he learned was about the Gezel tribe. Condition.
This underground world is covered by vast grasslands and sparse forests. In Geisel's cognition, the whole world is a structure similar to a round sky. The magnificent mountain called "Pillar of Eternity" (actually the giant tree of Tianzhu ) supports the structure of the world, everything in the world is bestowed by the goddess, and everything about the goddess is an unquestionable truth. The people of Geisel live on the grasslands, chasing the rivers and lakes that change with the seasons. They are a semi-settled and semi-nomadic people. Although they are constantly migrating, the route and location of each migration will not change. Not only is the ecological environment of the underground world as precise and stable as a clock, but it also seems to contain certain religious regulations in it.
In addition to the "Hanuk tribe of the West Wind" mentioned by Geisel, there are also some other tribes. They live in forests, mountains, swamps and other places. These tribes usually maintain communication and maintain a kind of Very peculiar loose union state.
Hao Ren inquired around and found that the combined population of all these tribes is very limited: the number of human beings in this world is maintained at a very low level. Moreover, not only the population is limited, but the way of life of these tribes is also quite primitive. They hardly build large-scale cities and other man-made facilities. Although those tribes living in mountainous areas seem to have this ability, they still maintain the oldest life. Way.
In the end, the topic returned to the "Holy Blade" in Geisel's hand.
Gezel firmly believed that the holy blade was given to mortals by the goddess in ancient times, and it had an invisible connection with the power of the goddess.
"Only the chosen warriors are qualified to wield the Holy Blade," Geisel proudly showed his aptitude. He put his hand on the handle of the dagger, and showed his bravery to Vivian with his chest upright, "No Qualified people can't touch the holy blade, they will die from boiling blood. When the power of the goddess is close to the holy blade or the holy blades are close to each other, its power will be strengthened, but the light released by the holy blade today is my Only seen in life—in the records of the tribe, the goddess has not come to this world for many years."
When he heard the words "blood boiling", Hao Ren couldn't help but exchanged glances with Vivian: the nature of this power was beyond doubt.
The nature of Holy Blade's "discrimination of divine power" also explains how Geisel judged Vivienne's identity: he did not recklessly regard Vivienne as a goddess in terms of appearance, but sensed the latter's power It was only after that that the conclusion was drawn.
Things seem to be getting interesting. (to be continued~^~)
