Chapter 230 Entering the Camp
"Who are you?" Although the White Bear Knight did not put down his weapon like the native in front of him, he also did not pull out the sword from the sheath. He just held it with one hand. The sword hilt maintains a relatively friendly alert posture.
Seeing this scene, Lily's father felt at ease. He took out the dagger and introduced himself to the other party: "I am Hutton, the son of Erekim of the Wildmane tribe. I bring goodwill to the other party. Come on!”
Noting the White Bear Knight’s standard dagger in the opponent’s hand, the White Bear Knight put down his guard, but still put his hand on the hilt of the sword and asked: “Hello, Wild Mane Tribe? Hutton, I’m John from the White Bear Knights. What’s the matter with you? Where did you get that dagger?”
John didn’t think that the other party had killed his colleagues in the Knights. The dagger I got, after all, the Knights have not had any attrition so far.
As for this kind of standard dagger, although it may be a rarity for the indigenous people, for the White Bear Knight, it is just a military supply that can be applied for at any time, although the procedures are a little more troublesome.
"My daughter met your warrior in the woods yesterday. She helped him and he gave her this dagger." Hutton briefly explained the origin of the dagger, and then got closer. John then stopped at a distance where neither party could sneak attack on the other side, and continued: "I heard about this, so I came here with the people in the tribe to see if there was anything we could do to help. In addition, we The tribe also hopes to trade with you. "
Hutton said the excuse he had discussed while staring into the other person's eyes as much as possible and carefully discerning the other person's expression.
He believed that he could judge whether the other party would show malice toward him, or whether his eyes would reveal contempt or arrogance.
However, to his surprise, the White Bear Knight in front of him did not show any malice, nor did he look down on the natives from a high position. Instead, he showed a relatively friendly expression, and then explained: "I know Yes, but I can’t make the decision on this matter. I need to report it to the lord and let her make the decision.”
Although the other party remained friendly, there was no doubt that Hutton's heart sank.
He had learned the white man's language until he saw what the word lord mentioned by the white bear knight in front of him meant.
That means the owners and rulers of the land, which means that the white people have regarded this land as theirs.
This undoubtedly made Hutton feel angry, but at this time he had to restrain his emotions, endure his inner resentment, and wait for further communication and expressions from the other party, instead of feeling that his ancestors and The tribal lands were usurped by them.
After all, the ancestral land of the Wild Mane Tribe is not here, and the Wild Mane Tribe is closer to the nomadic tribe in a sense and does not value the land itself that much.
However, in order to know more about the situation of the white people, Hutton still asked the other party: "Who is the 'Lord' you are talking about? Is it your chief?"
Hutton was asking knowingly. , hoping to get some more detailed information from the White Bear Knight in front of me.
John was not prepared for this. He just smiled and explained: "Our lord is the ruler of the entire northern territory and the earl of the empire. It may be difficult to understand, but you do She can be regarded as our chief.
But the tribal territory she manages covers the entire northern territory, and above her there is a great chief who manages her and the entire southern land. br>Contacting you is not something I can make a decision on. This kind of matter needs to be reported to the Lord for her to make a decision.”
After listening to John's explanation, Hutton did get the information he wanted, but at the same time, he also felt his heart dropping and a biting chill all over his body. The white people have regarded the entire northern territory as their territory and sent lords to manage it. This is very bad news for the indigenous tribes.
Although Hutton felt that the White Bear Knight in front of him might show a friendly attitude, this was based on the fact that the other party had regarded this land as his own. On the premise of something.
If the Wild Mane Tribe remains friendly, or even surrenders to the white lord, then everything may be fine, but if the Wild Mane Tribe wants to resist, or claims that it is not the property of this lord...< br>
Hutton no longer dared to think about it any more, because such a bad situation would be the most desperate result for the Wildmane tribe.
But just when Hutton was thinking about this, the White Bear Knight who went to report had returned. After he said a few words to John, John nodded to express his understanding, and then said to Hutton: "The Lord wants to see you, call you. Companions, come in with us.”
When Hutton heard what the other party said, he knew that the next step was the key.
So he shouted twice, asking his other companions who were staying there to come over.
But other people obviously have their own minds, and they didn’t just stupidly let everyone go. Instead, they stayed behind a few young ancestor warriors and an adult ancestor warrior, leaving all the weapons of the others behind. outside, and then they stayed behind under the pretense of guarding the weapons.
Although at first glance it seems silly to remove all weapons, it is not difficult to consider that the weapons in the hands of the Wildmane tribe are still only stone axes and inferior iron axes. Understand why they do what they do.
Rather than bringing weapons in to make others fearful, it is better to unload the weapons to show friendliness. If something happens, the weapons they carry may be better than just snatching them from the opponent's hands.
When Hutton and others think about it, even if the opponent also has ancestor warriors, most of them should be ordinary people. It is still very simple for the ancestor warriors to grab a weapon from ordinary people.
And Hutton felt that they might not conflict.
So the group entered the Eagle Beak Cliff camp without weapons.
However, Hutton and others soon discovered something was wrong, because they noticed that the houses in this camp had no doors and were built very low, and they did not look like they could be inhabited at all. .
Hutton and others were talking quietly in Aboriginal language. They did not ask John who was leading the way, but cautiously guessed that this might be some strange habit of the white people.
However, as John led them through the passage to the underground and saw the passages and buildings built underground, the natives realized that the white people had buried their houses in the ground.
In the middle of a half-puzzled and half-bewildered discussion among the natives, they were taken to Perficott's laboratory.
