However, only Hao Ren knew about the secret connection between Vivian and the Goddess of Creation. The others were confused at this time. They felt that the indigenous man in front of them must have made something wrong. Maybe there happened to be a person with Vivian in this world.
Wei An looks similar but has a high status. This 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 subject: "Vivian, please cooperate first.
"
Vivian had a question on her forehead: "What are you cooperating with?"
"Pretend that you are awesome," Hao Ren said in Vivian's ear, and then came to the man, "Stand up, we have something to ask you."
Vivian followed confused and muttered to herself for a long time: "I am already very powerful. I am over 10,000 years old..."
The "tribal warrior" was still in huge chaos. His eyes kept wandering between Vivian and Hesiana, and more attention was focused on the short knife in his hand: the red color of this short knife
The light had been flickering since just now, and became brighter as Vivian and Hesiana approached. Hao Ren pointed to the short knife: "What is going on?"
The "tribal warrior" didn't pay any attention to Hao Ren. He just lowered his head to Vivian in fear: "Goddess, why are you here?"
Vivian was stunned for a long time and did not move. Hao Ren couldn't help but secretly poke her arm: "I'm talking to you, hurry up and make something up."
"Uh...oh," Vivian looked confused. She was really not good at deceiving people like this. "I...I came down to take a look. I was just passing by."
The "tribal warrior" didn't care at all about such an inexplicable answer. His awe-inspiring attitude remained as always: "This world will prosper as you wish, and the spirits of all living beings will welcome your arrival with joy."
Hao Ren found that he was ignored, so he coughed harder: "Ahem, why don't you introduce yourself?"
The "tribal warrior" looked up at Hao Ren in confusion, and then showed a sudden look on his face: "I am Geisel, the great warrior of the Hanuk tribe of West Wind."
"The Hanuk tribe of West Wind?" Hao Ren frowned. "Are there many people like you?"
Geisel didn't quite understand Hao Ren's question, and he hesitated slightly: "Each tribe has less than ten great warriors. The holy blade given to us by the goddess is limited, and not everyone is qualified 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 cast his eyes on the other party's short sword.
: "You're talking about this? Can I take a look?"
Geisel had a strange look on his face. He seemed to think that the strangers walking with the "goddess" in front of him were a bit suspicious. Noticing his hesitation, Vivian finally knew what to say in this situation:
"Let him take a look. We need to check... um. Check whether everything is normal with the holy blade we gave you. After all, it has been a long time."
Following Vivian's words, the short knife also emitted a more obvious light. This light seemed to be a signal, making Geisel put aside all doubts and respectfully hand the weapon to Hao Ren.
Hao Ren took the short sword and looked at the strange-shaped weapon with increasing curiosity and carefulness. It was a short weapon only over a foot long, with a strange handle made of neither gold nor wood, and the blade seemed to jump.
It has a curved shape like a moving flame, and complex lines can be seen on the blade. Its shape is somewhere between hieroglyphs and simple patterns. After interpretation by the translation plug-in, it is a prayer praising wind and flowing water.
The workmanship of the short knife is extremely exquisite, and the texture of the carved part almost looks like an industrial product made with high precision. After seeing the rough leather coat on Geisel's body and the handmade short bow on his back, it is difficult to imagine that he or his tribe can do this.
A weapon with such precision.
Perhaps as he said, this is a holy blade given by the "goddess" and is not forged in the human world.
"Do you have any impression of this?" Hao Ren turned his back on Geisel and showed the dagger to Vivian for inspection.
Vivian was a little confused: "No, I don't remember that I had such a thing. And I was so poor back then. I would have exchanged it for food if I could get such a high-end weapon. How many times should I keep such a weapon?"
Human society a hundred years ago was a huge fortune."
Hao Ren stroked the lines on the dagger that were glowing red: "But it's obviously reacting to you."
Vivian put her hand on the dagger, and the red light on the surface of the latter immediately became brighter, and a surging, almost vital breath came from the dagger. The metal made a subtle sound as if jumping for joy. Lily was next to her.
Sticking out his tongue: "And he said it's not yours."
"The power on this is indeed very close to mine, but this knife is really not mine," Vivian glanced at Hao Ren, "Do you know something?"
"I'll tell you in detail when the time comes," Hao Ren said simply, turning around and returning the dagger to Geisel. "Here you go, the situation is good. Can you take us to your tribe's place now?"
According to normal logic, a person would not move alone on such a prairie, and Geisel seemed to be an important figure in a certain tribe, so the "Hanuk Tribe of the West Wind" mentioned by the other party should be nearby.
Perhaps it is stationed in a certain location that the probe has not had time to check before.
Geisel agreed without hesitation, but he glanced at the surrounding ruins with some embarrassment: "I have a mission here..."
"Oh, do your business first," Hao Ren nodded. He found that Geisel was still a little hesitant, so he pulled Vivian and asked her to nod, "She also agrees."
Geisel was relieved. He first ran to find all the arrow pots and arrows he had dropped, and then ran to the previous large platform with many stone slabs and stone tablets under the curious eyes of Hao Ren and others. He started from
He took out some herbal powders from the cloth bag he carried with him and ignited them 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 direction of the smoke.
, with a serious expression on his face.
At the same time, he seemed a bit reserved and embarrassed.
This restraint and embarrassment came from the curious looking Vivian not far behind.
Hao Ren believed that Geisel was performing some kind of religious ceremony. He came to this ruins alone with a mission assigned by the tribe, such as coming here to worship the goddess. And Vivian was regarded as the "goddess"
People are watching from the side, which would be embarrassing for anyone else. After all, not every god is like Raven 145, and not every pope is like Hao Ren, who can yell at his own god.
It didn't take 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."
At the same time, he also gave a new order to the data terminal in his mind: "Withdraw all probes from the cloud top and surface crust, and now start to increase efforts to scan this 'underground world'. This space is larger than we imagined."
interesting."
Geisel didn't even ask much about the identities of Hao Ren and his party. It seemed that Vivian was enough for him to have the greatest trust in these strangers. He mentioned some things about this world, because Hao Ren was not sure what the other party knew.
He didn't know about the other layer of earth above his head and the situation of the eldest son, so the scope of his inquiries was limited. The first thing he learned was about the Geisel people.
This underground world is covered by vast grasslands and sparse forests. In Geisel's understanding, the entire world is a structure similar to a round sky and a square earth, with majestic mountains called the "Pillars of Eternity" (actually the giant trees of the Sky Pillars).
) supports the structure of the world. Everything in heaven and earth is given by the goddess, and everything about the goddess is an unquestionable truth. Geisel’s people live on the grasslands, chasing rivers and lakes that change with the seasons. They are a
Although semi-settled and semi-nomadic peoples are often on the move, the route and location of each migration will not change. This is not only because the ecological environment of the underground world is as precise and stable as a clock, but also seems to contain some kind of belief.
The regulations are 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
A very strange loose alliance.
Hao Ren made some indirect inquiries and found that the combined population of all these tribes was very limited: the number of humans in this world was maintained at a very low level. Not only was the population limited, the lifestyle of these tribes was also quite primitive, and they had almost no
Although the tribes living in mountainous areas seem to have this ability, they still maintain the oldest way of life.
Finally, the topic returned to the "Holy Blade" in Geisel's hand.
Geisel firmly believes that this holy blade was given to mortals by the goddess in ancient times, and it has an invisible connection with the goddess's power.
"Only the selected warriors are qualified to wield the holy blade," Geisel proudly showed off his qualifications. He put his hand on the handle of the short knife and held out his chest to show off his bravery to Vivian, "No
Qualified people cannot touch the holy blade, and they will die because their blood boils. 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 today the light released by the holy blade is my
Her life is only seen in tribal records, and the goddess has not come to this world for many years."
When he heard the term "blood boiling", Hao Ren couldn't help but look at each other with Vivian: there was no doubt about the nature of this power.
The nature of the holy blade to "discern divine power" also explains how Geisel judged Vivian's identity: he did not recklessly mistake Vivian for a goddess based on her appearance, but was sensing the latter's power.
The conclusion was drawn later.
Things seem to be getting more and more interesting. (To be continued.)
