Chapter 3355 The Trial Of The Fool (One Hundred and Fifty Eight)
Chapter 3355 The Trial of the Great Fool (158)
"Just, just because you're bored?" Faced with Xuri's request for help, Elaine rolled her eyes at the young Hayato.
At this point, Elaine is almost certain that Xuri is the collaborator mentioned by the Miko's clone. The Blue Falcon boy Xuri will provide Elaine and the others with all kinds of help on their next journey.
But...how can this child help? As you can see, Xuri is just a child with a slightly larger arm than an ordinary person, and he has no memory of his previous life. The Mayans reincarnate with a new life every time
If the form comes to this world, the memory of the previous life will not be retained at all.
The next journey will become more and more dangerous. Elaine needs resistance, not a burden. And Xuri looks like a burden no matter what, right?
What worries Elaine most is that Xury casually said such words in front of strangers that betrayed the people who raised him. He was raised by that group of stalkers, right? The stalkers meant nothing to him.
Just like his parents, right? Although it is inappropriate to be under house arrest in this underground city, is this the reason why Xuri betrayed his parents casually? - Because of "boring"?
Even the people who raised him betrayed him so easily. Can this kid Xuli be trusted?
"I know this request is very abrupt." Xuli continued: "But I have no other choice. Counting several previous reincarnations, I have been imprisoned here for almost a thousand years. They knew that I would not die of old age, so they put me
I am imprisoned in this undersea city and served like a slave. To put it nicely, they raised me and raised me, and then I must repay their upbringing, so I stayed here to work for them. To put it lightly, I was just being
Do they just keep them like animals and provide them with labor? I have been their slave for several lifetimes. I should be free anyway, right?"
Elaine couldn't answer. He couldn't even tell what was right and what was wrong.
"Please, at least consider my proposal." Young Hayato continued: "You are the only ones who have arrived here in this thousand-year cycle. Although the old robot also set foot here before, he wanted to be sealed.
So I can't ask him to save me. You... you are my only chance. If I don't go with you, I'm afraid I will be trapped here for another thousand years. In that case, I will go crazy. Even if I reincarnate again and again
And if I lose my memories before reincarnation, I will go crazy, absolutely."
"I, I understand, please calm down." A drop of sweat broke out on Elaine's forehead.
"Ahem... I'm sorry." Zuoli sat down and continued to pretend that nothing happened.
"You, you said you would be our guide." Elaine continued: "Then, then be the guide first and follow us. Besides, you can plan other things later?"
"Well, that's okay."
"But, we plan to continue to go deeper into Atlantis until we reach its core." Elaine added: "Going deeper will only be more dangerous. Do you really, really want to follow?"
"
"I intend to [live], I have no intention of [die]. I don't want to participate in dangerous things." Hayato replied, picking up a grilled fish and eating it: "But there is no problem with me being your guide. You guys
You plan to find that old robot, right? Once you find it, you will leave? Can I leave with you?"
"Yes, yes." Elaine replied, but he did not tell Xuri about the existence of the teleportation device and their camp on the surface.
"Brother, why are you—" the little fox wanted to say something, but was immediately stopped by the white lion boy's eyes. Other companions also noticed Elaine's intentions, so they also remained silent.
Because Elaine still has no way to completely trust Xury. If Xury informs other stalkers and tells them about the existence of the teleportation device and the camp on the surface, the safety of Elaine and his party will be threatened.
Before this birdman can be completely trusted, Xuri must not be informed of the existence of the teleportation device and the surface camp.
At this time, the group of stalkers who were dancing and celebrating gradually became tired and stopped to rest. Many people sat on the ground near the bonfire and enjoyed the food served by other stalkers.
Since their society is a complete society, the social status of stalkers should be divided into high and low. Those people sitting there waiting to be served wear dark blue and crimson crotch cloth. Elaine thinks these people are stalkers.
They are prominent figures in the hunter society. Similarly, the stalkers who are responsible for bringing food and serving the dignitaries wear white crotch cloth, and the same goes for Xuri. They should all be figures of lower social status.
Among them, several stalkers who were wearing dark red crotch cloth and looked obviously much older than the others came to Elaine and others. The old man in the lead asked Elaine: "Guest, are you eating and drinking well?"
"
"Yes, yes, thank you for the hospitality." Elaine replied: "Eat, the food is delicious."
Although it was not dinner time and Elaine couldn't taste it, he was just being polite.
"Very good. Guest, will you stay here for one night?" the old man asked again.
"Well..." Elaine originally wanted to refuse, but he felt that the other party would not let him refuse, and would definitely use various excuses to retain Elaine and his party.
"Okay, okay." He then said, "Why don't you bother me for one night, and we'll start again tomorrow."
"Go deeper?"
"Yes, yes. I want to find my father." The white lion boy replied.
"Father? That, old robot?"
Elaine nodded.
Speaking of which, why does everyone here refer to Boles as the old robot? Is he really that "old"? Elaine couldn't help complaining again and again.
"Old robot, I want to be sealed." The old man said again: "You want to take him away?"
"Like, if it can be done," Elaine said.
"Then, I wish you good luck." Stalker waved his hand and turned to leave: "Xuri, take care of the guests."
"Yes, elder." Young Hayato replied, with a slight tremor in his voice, obviously a little afraid of the elder.
Elaine also ate something casually and felt that it was almost done, so she stood up and said, "I, let's go back too."
"We're going to the big house where you guys are staying, right? I'll lead the way." Zuo Li said.
"Go, go to your house." Elaine said.
"Huh? Why?"
"I, I want to know how your current treatment is. Then I can decide whether to believe you or not." The white lion boy said.
"Um...Okay..." Zuoli said with a troubled expression: "But my house is really a doghouse...or a bird's nest. Don't make fun of my house for being too dirty and messy."
"Where are you and your family?"
"How is it possible? I keep turning back into a bird egg and being reincarnated, remember?"
"Sir, someone has to take care of you?"
"There is something like a welfare facility here to raise children without relatives. But it only lasted until I became sensible and could work for them. Then I was kicked out and lived by myself."
"Okay, okay." Elaine didn't expect this to happen: "Anyway, I want to see it with my own eyes. Then, maybe you can come and live with us."
"No problem." Hayato boy scratched his head: "Then, come with me."
The Stalkers' festival gradually cooled down, people began to disperse, and Elaine and others quietly left. After walking through this weird city for about ten minutes, Elaine and his group were taken to the edge of the city.
In a relatively small building.
"My apartment is on the twenty-seventh floor. You have to take the stairs, sorry." Zuoli said.
"I, we can endure it." The white lion boy turned to look at Bailey: "Do you want me to carry you?"
"No need, I'm not that weak, big brother." The little fox stuck out his tongue.
"Then let's go." Elaine dragged Bailey's little hand into the building.
The doors of other rooms were closed. Elaine didn't care and walked directly to the stairwell. As he expected, the stairs of all buildings in the city were blessed by a special gravity field. When walking up the stairs, he felt as light as a swallow and effortless.
.He followed the Blue Falcon boy and quickly reached the twenty-seventh floor.
Zuo Li pushed open the door and entered his home. He hesitated before entering: "Are you really not allowed to make fun of me?"
"No, I won't make fun of you. Just go in." Elaine was a little anxious, so she gave the bird boy a gentle push behind him. Everyone went into the house.
This house can be described as a bare-walled house. There is no bed at all, only an animal skin spread on the floor as a mat. There is no wardrobe in the house, but there are things like hanging racks to store the clothes that Zuoli usually wears (the long ones).
Crotch cloth) hang to dry.
This city has this sweltering feeling all year round. You probably don’t even need a quilt, you can sleep on the ground. Moreover, the residents of this city don’t wear other clothes, they always only wear the crotch cloth to cover their shame - the same
It's because it's too hot.
Then there wasn't even a table or chair, and except for a small box on the side, there wasn't necessarily anything more important. However, even though it was so empty, with five people standing in this small room, it still felt crowded.
. Visually, this room is not even twenty square feet.
This is Xury's home? Rather than saying this is a doghouse or a bird's nest, it's better to say it's a small cell. Apart from the fact that the door is unlocked and the windows have no glass, what's the difference between this place and a cell?
And there are no restrooms or bathrooms here. It’s simply outrageous.
"Here, isn't there any entertainment here? TV? Radio or something?" Elaine asked in confusion.
"What is that?" Hayato boy tilted his head and asked, "For entertainment, there is dancing and singing."
"Dang, when I didn't ask..." Elaine covered his head. He should have thought long ago that the people here have never been in contact with the outside world and cannot possibly know things like television and radio. Isn't this just a barbaric tribe?
"Well, what about the books? You can actually speak English, Ken. You must have learned it from there, right?" the white lion boy asked again.
"English? What is English? The ancient common language was given to us by the witches, and then passed on orally. So we can also speak what you can speak." Xori replied.
Isn't the "ancient common language" meant to be a language that people in ancient times could use to communicate? The ancient God-human race and the ancient Sea King race could also communicate in English, so it was passed down like this?
Elaine has also heard that the origin of English is Latin. Latin can be traced back to an earlier "certain language". The origins of these languages have something in common. No wonder they can communicate with these stalkers with almost no obstacles.
Communicated.
"So there aren't even books here, and the only entertainment is singing and dancing? Oh my god..." Bailey also covered his head: "How did you survive?"
"I told you, I'm bored to death." Xuri repeated.
"You... pack your luggage and come with me to our camp." Elaine ordered: "Anyway, don't live here anymore."
"Okay. I'll pack my clothes and come right away. Please wait outside." Xuri said, Elaine could almost see the boy Hayato wagging his tail.
"Shun, by the way, how do you take a shower and go to the bathroom here?" Elaine narrowed her eyes.
"There are public bathhouses and restrooms." Hayato boy replied: "And it's all hot water. It seems to be circulating purified water provided by the system. Yat people have to take baths three times a day to keep their body scales moist. Now
It happens to be time to take a shower after dinner, do you want to wash your body?"
"Later, let's talk later."
Elaine couldn't imagine what it would be like to share a bathhouse with a large group of stalkers at this time.
What's more, it's hot water. Is there really nothing wrong with the brains of these half-fish people when they use hot water to bathe in such a stuffy place?
