Chapter 116 Several tribes were most afraid to oppose under the vulture's oppression, but Roddy also felt uncomfortable sitting there and feeling the hostile gaze around him.
At noon, according to the custom of the mountain people, a grand banquet is held to entertain guests from afar.
In the largest clearing in the valley, countless mountain delicacies were put on display.
Although the food of the mountain people is abundant, it is very simple to cook, no matter what kind of game, all of it is roasted, and some are sprinkled with a handful of strange spices.
After eating for a while, Roddy saw people from several other tribes looking at him with ill will.
Sure enough, after a while, the people of the tribe came over with huge wine bottles.
Since the chieftain is not allowed to trouble the two Imperials, it is always okay to get them drunk Mountain women make rhythmic sounds with all sorts of strange earthen-made percussion instruments, and some fur-clad mountain people dance to and fro hand in hand, some holding a roasted deer leg in one hand, others holding a wine jug.
All were full of excitement and drunkenness.
Seeing these people standing in front of him and shouting loudly, Roddy smiled bitterly and looked at the vultures, only to find that the vultures, who were originally sitting in the chieftain's position, did not know when they had left.
Roddy sighed and pushed Rand out.
I sat on the sidelines and enjoyed the strange dances of the mountain people.
Rand was huge and had an excellent amount of alcohol, drinking more than a dozen bottles of wine in one go, but he was still calm after only shaking a few times.
Luo Di was secretly surprised in his heart, but he had tasted the wine of this mountain man just now.
In his opinion, the liquid made from these wild fruits that he didn't know what to use was sour, bitter and spicy, and it was really unpleasant to drink.
After a look, Roddy also quietly left his seat and walked away while there was chaos.
There was hardly any vigilance among the tribes of the mountain people, and at this time, because of the feast in the tribe, most of them went to the carnival, and there were very few people from other places in the tribe's stockade, but Luo Di looked like a foreigner, and there were people pointing at him everywhere he went.
Before I knew it, I walked in front of a few wooden houses with chimneys that I had seen in those days.
Hearing that it was still clanging inside, Luo Di's heart moved, and he was a little curious about the mountain people's method of making weapons, and couldn't help but walk in.
The doors and windows of these wooden houses are very large and ventilated.
But when I walked in, I still felt a wave of heat rushing over me.
There were no lights in the room, but flames erupted from time to time in a huge stove in the middle.
Two or three topless mountain men were hammering with various pincers and hammers in their hands, and next to them were a row of weapons that had begun to take shape.
Roddy smiled, feeling that this place was no different from the blacksmith shops in the Imperial City.
When the mountain people saw him walk in, they didn't have any strange reactions, they were all concentrating on their work.
One of them put down the hammer in his hand, walked over, looked at Roddy twice, and suddenly said loudly in the language of the Empire: "You, weapons, want" Roddy was stunned for a moment: "You will say our words" The mountain man said in a loud voice: "Sometimes, I buy things, go to your place, and learn" After speaking, he grinned widely, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
Since Luo Di entered the mountain, he had never seen a mountain man so friendly to him, and the other mountain people looked at him with hostile eyes, and the blacksmith of this mountain seemed to be very kind to him, which made Luo Di feel a little more good in his heart.
He smiled, picked up a long knife that lay on the shelf, and looked at the blacksmith with an inquiring gaze.
The blacksmith smiled and said loudly: "This, you want a good knife, two wolf skins" Luo Di nodded, knowing that the mountain tribe was backward, and most of the things bought and sold were bartered, and there was no such thing as currency.
He waved the long knife in his hand casually, looked at the edge of the knife again, felt that it was really sharp, and said with a smile: "Your knife is good."
The mountain blacksmith immediately had a proud face on his face, and said, "In the mountains, there is the best, and the iron ore in Purple Leaf City is the one who bought us, not the best."
Roddy looked at the knife in his hand, and said, "Are there any others?"
The blacksmith smiled and said, "Yes, it's for warriors."
The blacksmith took Roddy into another wooden house next to him, there was no one in the room, and he saw a few long curved bows on the shelf, Roddy picked it up and tried it, and grabbed a short sword with a strange shape, and said with a smile: "Do you people also use swords?"
"Sold to people outside the mountain."
The blacksmith took the short sword from Roddy's hand, picked up a piece of wood from the corner of the wall, and chopped it with it, and the thick wooden strip of the bowl was immediately split in half.
Then he handed the sword to Roddy again.
Luo Di admired in his heart, carefully observed the sword blade, only to see that above the blue sword blade, there was a faint trace of coldness, he took it in his hand and danced a few times, feeling that the size and weight were extremely comfortable, he liked it in his heart, and said with a smile: "I want this thing, what price" After speaking, Roddy took out a small cloth bag from his body and took out a few gold coins.
Seeing that the blacksmith smiled and shook his head, Luo Di let out an "ah" and said with a wry smile: "Don't you want gold coins, but I don't have any animal skins for you now." ” The blacksmith suddenly took a few steps closer and whispered, "Your Excellency the Duke likes this sword, so I will give it to you." ” "What" Roddy was surprised: "Give it to me, you know who I am" The blacksmith smiled and whispered, "I am General Camus's man." ” Luo Di's heart moved, and he immediately walked to the door and looked outside, seeing that there was no one outside the door, before turning around and saying in a deep voice: "What did you just say?"
The blacksmith whispered: "Lord Duke, I am a subordinate of General Camus, and I am here to deliver news to the general."
Luo Di took a breath and said, "Are you from the mountains?"
The blacksmith whispered, "I have mountain blood, but I was raised by the general since I was a child.
A few years ago, the Duke let me go into the mountains and mingle with the tribe. ” Luo Di wondered in his heart: "Won't others doubt you?"
The blacksmith smiled, "The vultures have annexed many tribes over the years, and now there are many people from other tribes in the Flame Tribe, so they are not afraid of being suspected. ” Luo Di nodded, and the blacksmith whispered, "Lord Duke, the general has given me news that you have entered the mountain.
It's not convenient to talk here, and I can't get in touch with you too much.
You've got this, it's the news I found out the night before. ” After speaking, he handed over a small wooden cylinder and said in a low voice: "Here is the secret of the vultures, you go back and look at it slowly." ” "The secret of the vultures," Roddy was shocked.

The blacksmith lowered his voice and said, "Vulture suddenly became weak a few days ago, and it was said that he was assassinated and seriously wounded, and I reported this news to the general a long time ago, but I have found out these days that he has to go to the wizard every three nights, as if he needs to rely on the wizard to help him heal.
During the treatment, he couldn't take care of the outside world.
I sneaked into the vulture's room the night before when he went to the wizard and found out what was going on."
Luo Di's face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "You sneaked in" The blacksmith had a proud expression on his face: "I was raised by the general since I was a child, and the guards who trained my vultures by the general would not have noticed me."
Hearing footsteps outside, the blacksmith's face changed, and he said in a low voice: "Someone, you put this away" and then changed his voice to shout deliberately: "We have all good things here, you can try it if you don't believe it" Seeing two mountain warriors push the door and walk in, one of them still had a drunken face on his face, and shouted a few words to the blacksmith.
The blacksmith replied with a smile on his face.
When the two mountain people saw Luo Di, their faces changed, and then they saw the short sword in Luo Di's hand, and they all showed disdainful expressions.
Roddy didn't say anything and strode out.
One of the warriors spat at Roddy's back.
It's just that the chief ordered not to provoke the aliens of these two empires, otherwise he would have already gone to trouble them.
Roddy returned to the banquet place, although he was worried about the contents of the wooden tube in his arms, but he knew that it was daylight and he could not act rashly.
I can only patiently watch those mountain people revelry.
Several people from other tribes had already drunk, and those fierce mountain people began to fight in the middle of the field, and several young mountain warriors had torn off the animal skins on their upper bodies and wrestled together, and the people next to them shouted and cheered for the two.
Wu Yu, the translator sent to Luo Di, also shouted drunk and shouted, not even noticing that Luo Di had gone out and ran back and forth.
After a while of drinking, the mountain people's revelry continued from afternoon to evening, and Roddy excused himself for how early he had drunk and returned to his lodgings.
Letting Rand guard the door, he opened the wooden tube in the room.
In the barrel is a small piece of cloth that has been rolled up.
A strange pattern was hastily drawn on the rough cloth, and Roddy looked at it twice before he realized that this was actually the topographical pattern of the house where the vultures were.
The outside guards and entrances are indicated, as well as the doors.
A thick, weighted line on the top bent fingers thought of the top corner, and then drew a circle heavily.
Roddy wondered in his mind, and remembered the appearance of the wooden house where the vultures were.
The vultures were the patriarchs of the tribe and lived in the largest wooden hut in the village, as well as the highest terrain.
Built on a high wooden platform erected by countless giant logs, it is condescending to see most of the place in the village.
And the platform was built against this mountain wall, and the same was true of the wooden house, and the back wall was clinging to the mountain wall.
Roddy corresponded to the picture in his hand and found that following the thick line, the place where the circle was drawn was in the direction of the wall behind it "What's the back," he muttered.
Andy smiled in his head: "What else can it be, I think it's mostly a secret way." ” Luo Di shook his head: "Even if it's a secret passage, then how can the secret passage of the vulture lead to somewhere, but this matter, do we have to check it, the current situation is unknown, if you rashly do it, offend the vultures, I'm afraid it's not a good idea" The two discussed for a while, but Roddy was inconclusive and fell asleep sullenly.
The next morning, people from various tribes were meeting the vultures together, and Roddy, the duke of the empire, was naturally going to go.
Seeing that those mountain people were noisy, he had already understood that Vulture was using himself to lure those who opposed him to jump out, and Luo Di was bored in his heart.
It's just that this "peace talks" still have to be pretended.
Looking at the vultures sitting quietly on the top of the face, they were still dressed in white linen, and their faces were as pale as cold jade.
Roddy always felt that the vultures seemed to be a little strange, as if they were a little different from what he had seen the day before, but he couldn't see what was different.
He was in confusion when Andy suddenly shouted in his head, "I know he seems to be getting old" "Well" Roddy immediately looked at the vultures again, and sure enough, it seemed to be something different.
If you say that when he first saw vulture when he first came the day before yesterday, he seemed to be no more than thirty years old.
Then the vultures I saw yesterday looked like they were thirty-four or five-year-old.
But when I saw the vultures again today, it was as if they were two or three years old.
"He's aging fast" Andy's voice seemed a little strange: "No wonder I always feel like he's weak" Roddy said in a low voice: "Then he must have had some accident when he entered the Death Canyon Hmph, he has to ask the wizard to treat him every three days, I'm afraid it's just for this matter" Andy said in a low voice: "This is strange, I haven't heard of any magic or spells that can make people age so much, even though there seems to be magic that can make people age quickly, but it's not so slow to fall into that kind of magic, it should be dozens of years old in a day."
"Maybe there's something he can do to stop it, maybe he's not the kind of magic you know," Roddy shook his head.
He glanced at the vultures that stood tall above, and at this moment the vultures were closing their eyes and recuperating, and seemed to have no disdain for the noisy and quarrelsome tribes below.
Andy suddenly whispered: "Boy, this matter seems to be a little weird, let's leave it alone" Luo Di's face was silent, but he secretly smiled: "Andy, aren't you usually the most curious, tonight should be the time for Vulture to go to the wizard, we might as well secretly go and see, what is the secret of this person who is called the god of heaven by the mountain people?"
"Hmph, you have to be careful about this, you had a big fight with those two Silver Moon Clansmen last night, and your dreaming nonsense can only be a child, and the vultures must have known it for a long time.
If you want to go on an adventure tonight, it's up to you, but then you lose your life, don't blame me for not saving me." ` Brothers and sisters of the public version, let everyone wait for a long time, because of the requirements of the publishing house, the ban was lifted very slowly some time ago, and Xiao Wu apologized to everyone first However, in the future, I will gradually speed up the lifting of the ban, and before the Spring Festival, I will lift some more chapters to report back to you, I hope you can continue to support me
