Chapter 600 (1/2)
The savage speaks in three different tones. It sounds like the frog singing in summer evening, a stone frog, a frog and a toad.
After being the God of sangqi tribe for a period of time, Aoki has mastered the language of sangqi tribe through conscious communication, and he can also communicate directly with Kubota's consciousness through the soul of wood. But he couldn't understand what the other two were talking about. Fortunately, situ and Dewar dealt with each other. Together, they could make clear the meaning of the priests of ithsa.
What puzzled him was how the three priests communicated with each other? Their language is obviously different and their pronunciation is very different. Mrs. Larry described this difference as if Korean and Japanese originated from Chinese, but after a long time of differentiation and evolution, the pronunciation has been completely different.
Kubota was old, looked old and prudent, and talked little. He often said one after others said several words. Batus, the priest of the mantistone tribe, spoke the most. He shouted at situ and pointed his hand in the direction of the distant lake.
Even without situ's narration, Aoki knew he was talking about the swordfish frigate. They had never seen such a big ship. In their eyes, it was not a ship at all, but a devil's nest.
The name of the priest of ulakan tribe is bigwendi, perhaps biguwedi. Aoki heard it for a long time and distinguished it from their pronunciation. He asked dewar, who was not very sure.
Bigwendy said that the devil was hiding in the shadow outside the thick fog, and God told them to always be vigilant against the devil. Therefore, when the fog rises, they are fully armed to drive away all invaders, even if those people look like their own kind, because the devil will disguise as an adult and a God.
The two sides communicated for a long time, both orally and consciously, and Aoki made the savage priests believe that the swordfish was a ship. However, they still think there are demons on the ship, so they don't want to go on board for a chat.
But it's nothing. Anyway, the focus is not on the boat, but on the altar. Wild people do not know what will happen after activating the altar. They just faithfully execute the oral instructions left by God according to the myths and legends handed down by word of mouth. No one is allowed to enter the altar, let alone with the sacred staff. Otherwise, God will sin on them.
Situ asked how God would bring down sin.
Batus said there would be a disaster from heaven, so that their children and grandchildren would live in suffering and distress.
Situ said, have you ever seen a more terrible disaster than the sun burning your village?
He heard about Aoki's experience in sangqi tribe, so he said, have you ever seen a more terrible disaster than the giant moon, everything floating in the sky and the great flood falling from the sky?
He pointed to the sky and said, now there are three suns in the sky. Do you think this will be a good sign?
His words were relayed to the other two priests through Aoki and dewar.
The three priests look at me and I look at you, shaking their heads together. Bigwendy said it was all the disaster of the devil from the shadow zone. Now the three Suns are also because the big ship appeared here.
Situ said, what kind of good life did you have when the devil was away? What hope does your God bring you?
Batus said we had plenty of food and clothing when the devil was away. There are endless wild fruits on the mountain and endless fish in the river. We also grow food and vegetables and keep sheep and unicorns in captivity.
Kubota said that we build houses with stone and wood, burn pottery with soil, and weave clothes with animal skin and a kind of silk vomited by insects. We are not afraid of cold in winter and hot in summer. Our life is free.
Bigwendy added that according to the legend left by our ancestors, in the longest season when the devil never came, our house was higher than the mountain. There were white clouds outside the window. People didn't have to work. As soon as the birds sang in the morning, the angel of God passed through the rainbow across the great lake to bring us food.
……
The faces of the priests became beautiful, as if they had experienced these things themselves.
Situ said, ”what if we can bring a better life to your tribe and your people?”
