"What do you say?" Takumi finally left the decision-making power to the sailor.
The sailors looked at Xiaobai again. Apparently Xiaobai's words just now did not make them completely let go of their desire to kill. They wanted to know if Xiaobai had any other excuses, otherwise they would still kill these prisoners.
"Okay, if you let these people go, is it possible for these people to survive?" Xiaobai's mind was spinning rapidly and he said quickly: "You have seen the situation in the desert. We have only been away for one day and it has been enough.
We still have water and supplies, but even so, we are struggling. What about these children and women? How long can they survive without water and supplies?"
"They will die, so what's the difference between us killing them now and them dying in the desert?" a sailor asked doubtfully.
Other seamen also echoed, they are all dead, but death is different, why bother?
"The difference is that if they die in the desert, we let them escape. But if they fail to escape and die in our hands, that is our cruelty." Xiaobai explained.
The sailors all shouted in unison. They finally came to their senses. They made a big circle and told the people in the desert that we are not that scary. We did not kill your people.
"Then let them go?" A sailor scratched his head and said with some hesitation.
"I think what Xiaobai said makes sense, let them go."
With the beginning, the sailors also agreed, and finally reached a consensus. They decided to let these women and children go as Xiaobai said.
When Xiaobai saw that the sailors were willing to let the prisoners go, he relaxed slightly and looked at the prisoners with pity.
Being able to persuade the sailors to give up killing prisoners is Xiaobai's kindness!
That's right, Xiaobai doesn't care about plunder. In such a world, no one can guarantee that they can survive until tomorrow. They have to deal with dangers like giant beasts and insects, and they also have to deal with the same dangers as human beings. No one is immune.
Too much kindness will only cost you your life.
But this does not mean that people can throw away all the good thoughts in their hearts without any scruples. It is okay to kill when plundering, but those people are already prisoners, do they still need to kill them?
Xiaobai couldn't agree with such a thing, so he opened his mouth to save the remaining villagers.
"You guys like it all you want, anyway, before they leave, I want to enjoy it." Hei Jiaoya said as he walked past Xiao Bai, smiled strangely and picked up the woman he had been eyeing for a long time.
Ignoring the woman's struggles and screams, she was dragged into the adobe house. Soon the house was filled with begging and screaming, as well as evil laughter with black teeth.
The sailors walked past Xiaobai to choose the woman they liked.
Xiao Bai stood motionless. He could speak to save their lives, but he could not stop the sailors from doing anything to the female captives.
They have been suppressing it for too long. If Xiaobai dares to stop him again, I am afraid that the sailors will draw their swords against him and they will never show mercy.
Some things can be done, some things cannot be done, and not everything can go as planned.
"I hope your decision is correct." When Takumi walked past Xiaobai, he patted his shoulder and said.
When it comes to women, even Takumi is not immune, and he even encourages Takumi to choose one too.
Xiao Bai turned to look at the remaining people. They were trembling and looking at Xiao Bai with horrified expressions.
Xiaobai pulled out his sword, silently stepped forward, and came to a child. The child's eyes were full of fear, he was trembling, his whole body huddled up, and he kept mumbling something.
The system has completed the analysis of the language of these villagers, and Xiaobai can already understand the child's words. What he said is: "Don't kill me, for the sake of the desert gods, go around me."
Xiaobai took the child's hands, cut off the isinglass rope that was holding him with a waist knife, pulled him up from the ground, and headed towards the desert. He shouted in the desert village dialect that he had just mastered and was very unfamiliar with: "Run."
!”
The child was stunned when he heard the strange desert village dialect in Xiaobai's mouth.
"What are you looking at? Run!" Xiaobai said again.
The child finally came to his senses and ran staggeringly towards the outside of the oasis, looking back at Xiaobai from time to time. He didn't understand why this outsider could speak their language and why he let him go.
Xiaobai cut off the ropes one by one and let the freed people leave.
The prisoners also understood that Xiaobai was letting them go. They were all grateful and murmured words such as "Thank you", "May the gods bless you" and "The gods of the desert will send their blessings to you".
Class words.
Soon, all the prisoners were released by Xiao Bai. The strange laughter of the sailors and the sharp horns and gasps of the women were still heard from inside the adobe house. Xiao Bai sighed slightly and turned back to the pile of trophies.
Sit on the floor and pick and choose.
Soon he dug out a gold plate from the trophies. A group of strange-looking guys with animal heads and human bodies were embossed on the gold plate.
Xiaobai turned the board over, and there were densely carved weird cuneiform characters on the back.
"System, can you translate it?" Xiaobai asked in his mind.
He is now a clone, and his connection with the system is not as close as before. Sometimes he cannot even connect to the system normally, as if the signal is not good. To use the system's explanation, the soul is not strong enough.
In addition, most of the functions in the system can no longer be used, and only some small functions are still barely usable, and translation happens to be one of them.
But even if it works, it's not as fast as before and you need to wait for a while.
It was as if he had activated the translation function a long time ago, but he couldn't understand the desert village language for a while. It wasn't until just now that he could understand it. As for speaking, he was still not fluent and needed to practice on his own.
The system did not respond to Xiaobai, and an image of reading a message appeared in Xiaobai's mind.
Since the system can still analyze it, just wait. Xiaobai reluctantly put the slate next to him and continued to rummage among the loot.
The village was not big, and the loot was not much. After browsing for a while, Xiaobai got tired of it and picked up the slate again.
Part of the text has been translated, and the first sentence of the tablet is "The hymn (hymn, praise, praise) of the desert gods (gods)".
There are even parentheses... The system is no longer the same as before, and even the text translation is so unreliable.
Many words have not been translated, but Xiaobai still roughly understands that this is something to praise virtues and does not have much practical meaning. He has become interested in some of the words in it, such as "heroes soaring in the sky".
"The God of Eagles", "The Dog-headed God who sends death off", "The Roaring Lion-headed God". (To be continued)
