The Sword and The Shadow

Chapter 349: Take in

Views:

Regnar's voice was filled with fighting spirit, so it sounded unusually rich and loud. Therefore, even though the environment was noisy at this time, all the barbarians were stunned by this cry.

"What's the matter with you?" Rego asked with some confusion as he looked at Regna who ran over angrily.

"You still have the nerve to say that?!" Regnar ignored the pointing of the barbarians around him. He pointed at the barbarian woman who was at a loss at the door, and then said to Rego in common language: "What do you mean? ?!”

"It's not interesting." Rego replied calmly: "This is the rule of the clan, I am just enforcing the rule."

"What the hell are the rules!" Regnar wanted to yell. He raised his head and looked at Rego and said angrily: "Look! Look at them! A helpless woman! A child who has just learned to walk, you Do you really have the heart to leave them alone?"

"Oh, the child has been walking for almost a year, so he can't be considered just able to walk." Rego replied calmly.

"Who cares about this with you?!" Regnar glared: "What I'm asking is why do you want to expel them?"

"The weak cannot survive on the ice and snow plateau." Rego repeated what he said before: "They are weak, so they cannot stay in the big tribe."

"Weak?" Regnar sneered. He glanced at Rego, and then asked sarcastically: "So your uncle Rego was born a strong man? Your uncle Rego was a mid-level warrior when he was just born? You are really What a great ability! Haven't you ever had a time when you were young? Have you never had a time when you were weak? Hmm?! He is only a three or four-year-old child, how can he be strong?!"

"No, he is different." Rego shook his head: "This child is too weak. As I said before, he is already four years old, but he can walk for less than a year. Even with your human physique Judging from the standard, he is also ridiculously bad, so there is no way he can survive here."

"Is this why you abandoned him?" Regnar stared at Regner, then glanced at all the barbarians present with contempt, and then said coldly: "I've heard that you barbarians have long ago You respect the strong, but I never thought that your respect for the strong is based on your contempt for the weak."

"Really?" Rego responded without being too angry.

"This is not considered powerful at all!" Regnar continued: "Only the weak will bully the weak. A truly strong person will never do this!"

"Whatever you say." Rego shrugged like humans: "Actually, we don't care how powerful we are, what we care about is whether this power is enough for us to live in this ice and snow plateau. This is the most important thing. .”

"In order to survive, can you abandon anything?" Regnar asked in a low voice.

"..." Regarding this question, Rego was unexpectedly silent for a moment. After a minute, he nodded and said: "At least, on this ice and snow plateau, survival is more important than anything else. If you have been in this world since you were a child, If you grew up here, you might understand."

"Don't think of me like someone soaked in a honey pot!" Regnar retorted: "Maybe I really don't understand how you live here, but I don't just wear clothes and open my mouth. days! I was once an orphan, I had nothing, but at least I understand that some things are more important than the so-called 'survival' in your mouth! Without those things, your so-called 'survival' , In fact, they are no different from the walking dead! So, in my opinion, you barbarians are just a pile of rotten meat that can move!"

"..." Anger finally flashed across Rego's eyes. Regnar was already prepared to fight the Barbarian King here, but to his surprise, Regner unexpectedly controlled his emotions. The Barbarian King looked at Regnar with calm eyes for a few seconds, and then said, "Well said."

"Huh?" Regnar was stunned. He didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Regal's gourd.

"But no matter how good you say, you can't destroy our tradition, them." Rego pointed at the women and children shivering slightly in the cold wind and then continued: "They must leave because no one is willing to feed them."

"You!" Regnar's lungs almost exploded with anger.

But Rego just glanced at him lightly, then raised his head and said to the women and children: "*&… #%¥*&… #¥"

Although he couldn't understand the Dothraki language, Regner still guessed that what the Barbarian King said was probably to drive them away.

The woman's eyes did not show any disappointment because of this, as if she already knew the outcome of this matter. But even so, she still bowed to Regnar, and then said softly: "Thank you." Then she turned and left.

Regnar looked at the backs of women and children staggering in the snow, and he felt bad for some reason. He gritted his teeth and shouted in Common Language again: "Wait!"

"What? Do you have anything else?" Rego frowned impatiently. He had been tolerant of Regnar a lot in the past few days. If it weren't for the fact that the two of them had fought against each other (in the eyes of the barbarians, People who have fought against each other can be regarded as friends), and since he was a representative of the Hawke Empire's mission, he couldn't help but just go up and cut down this nosy "little guy" and feed it to the bears.

Regnar paused, and then asked Rego: "I remember you said that as long as someone takes them in, they don't have to leave, right?"

"This is true for women, but not for children." Rego shook his head.

"Why?" Regnar was puzzled.

"Because he is too weak." Rego replied: "Even if he grows up, he will not be able to become a qualified warrior, and barbarian men cannot contribute their own value by doing housework in the tribe like barbarian women. Therefore, he He will only be a waste in the future, and the big tribe will not allow any tribesman to adopt a waste, even if someone wants to adopt him, because it will only be a waste of food."

"Is that why?"

"Yes."

"Hmph! That's easy!" Regnar snorted coldly: "Since you barbarians are unwilling, how about us humans taking you in? You won't waste your precious food this time, right?"

"You humans?" Rego was a little surprised: "You want to take them in?"

"Is there anything that's not allowed?" Regnar asked back, "It's all adoption anyway. I don't rely on you for food or clothing. We humans are responsible for their food. Isn't that okay?"

"There seems to be no such precedent in the tribe." Rego frowned.

"Then what's the harm in setting this precedent?" Regnar said without hesitation: "Since you don't take them in, then being taken in by us humans won't bring any loss to you barbarians? Thinking about it from another angle, you can take them in As if they were abandoned by you, and we humans happened to meet them and rescued them. What does this have to do with you? If so, I think you have no right to interfere, right?"

"This..." Rego was hesitant for a moment. From a personal point of view, he would be very happy if someone adopted these two people. But he was afraid that this approach would set a precedent among the tribe. In the future, if all the barbarians lost their homes and took refuge with humans... This kind of thing would not be good, right

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!" Regnar ignored Rego, who was still thinking, and walked over directly, then stretched out his hand: "Come with me, I will let you live. "

The woman hesitated for a moment. She lowered her head and looked into the eyes of the barbarian child next to her. They were eyes full of innocence and ignorance. He didn't seem to understand that his life or death would be decided at this moment.

"No matter what, the child is innocent." The woman said in her heart, and then she reached out and held Regnar's hand.

"This matter is settled!" Regnar finally showed a satisfied smile when he saw the woman accepted his kindness.

"There are no spare rooms in the big tribe for them to live in." Rego reminded. It seemed that he acquiesced to Regner's approach.

"What? This woman actually has a house here, right?" Regnar was stunned.

"Since there are no more warriors in her family, her residence will naturally be confiscated." Rego replied calmly: "That room has been used by us to reward the young man who has just grown up independently. He has passed several Maybe Yue will marry a mother-in-law and have children."

"..." After hearing this, Regnar felt that it was really troublesome to communicate with these barbarians. He gritted his teeth and said: "If...if that's the case, then let them and Uncle Alex..."

"Hey! Brat, you took this on yourself, don't expect me to wipe your ass anymore!" Alex jumped out of nowhere and shouted before Regner could finish speaking.

"Then..." Regnar was hesitant for a moment. He glanced at the other members of the mission. As a result, Regnar was surprised to find that these guys had evasive eyes, as if they didn't want these two people to live with them. .

"They are not ferocious beasts. How can they scare you like this?!" Regnar couldn't help but jump up and pointed at his men and shouted.

"Oh, as the saying goes, whoever takes over the task will have to wipe his or her own ass." Alex muttered, looking up into his mouth.

"..." Regnar finally nodded fiercely: "Okay! Then let them live at my place! I don't believe it!"

Now that the last thing was agreed upon, Rego told the other barbarians the final result in Dothraki. Some barbarians expressed appreciation for Regnar's actions, but most of them expressed disdain, thinking that such sympathy and mercy were ridiculous and unnecessary.

As the person involved, Regnar was too lazy to argue with them. He sneered several times at the surrounding barbarians who despised him, and then prepared to leave.

"Hey, Regnar." Regner suddenly called him when Regnar passed by him.

"What?" Regna turned his head. At this time, Regna's eyes were looking crookedly at the piles of rocks around him, but Regna knew that he was actually looking at himself.

"Thank you." Rego said this for no reason, and then left without saying a word.
