Chapter 111 Compromise
Stoneleg Village Chief thought for a while and said: "Yes, every time. It never stopped even during the war with you humans."
Ariel raised her head and said with a look of faith: "So, may I ask, how many members of the Night Clan are left who participated in the last war with humans four hundred years ago? Chief Stonelegs, you participated in the last war
War?"
Shizuo shook his head, sighed and said: "I have not participated...if there are other vampires who participated in that war, there should not be many people. The largest number of people in the five villages is Bloodfang Village. If it is true
If there are anyone who participated in that war, they should all be in Bloodfang Village."
After hearing this, Ariel felt a little relieved. At that moment, she smiled slightly, nodded and said: "I understand the general situation now. Then I have one last question, which is...sacrifice,
How to sacrifice? Are you going to kill the women who are being sacrificed?"
The village chief turned his head, glanced at the mochi as a sacrifice behind him, and said slowly: "No. We just tied up the woman as a sacrifice, fed her a large amount of the blood of our Night Clan, and then
It's just placed on the sacrifice table used to sacrifice the red dragon Chi Fei. After that, we will leave and let the sacrifice stay where it is. Then when we go back the next day, there will be some blood stains on the ground.
, the women who were sacrificed will disappear from now on and will be nowhere to be found.”
In response to such an answer, Ariel smiled slightly and couldn't help but said: "So, the so-called sacrifice to the red dragon Chi Fei... ended up missing? Then Chief Stonelegs, let me ask you here
Now, how can you be sure that the female member of the Night clan who was sacrificed as a sacrifice would not be secretly abducted by the giant ghost village chief after she lost the power of her hard work? Could the concept of Red Dragon Chi Fei itself be
What about the concept 'created' by the giant ghost village chief of Bloodfang Village in order to satisfy his own desires?"
After hearing what Ariel said, the face of Stoneleg Village Chief immediately turned ugly. Ariel quickly raised her hand and said with a smile: "Ah, I'm not talking about Red Dragon Chi Fei, your founder.
It’s fake, but someone is pretending to be your founder for personal gain. Have you ever thought about this?”
The head of Shijiu Village snorted heavily: "You humans have such rich imaginations that you would come up with such absurd questions."
Ariel held her fists in front of her and said with a smile: "Absurd? So, let me ask you, a woman from the Night Clan who lost the power of her hard work was left alone on the altar. She can be seen the next day.
There is only a pool of blood... So, what does this mean? Did you see the red dragon Chi Fei appear? If not, why do you think it was the sacrifice Chi Fei asked for? "
Originally, Ariel thought that her question would make the village chief look a little embarrassed. But what she didn't expect was that the Stoneleg Village Chief said in a very calm tone -
"Because after the sacrifices are presented until we go to observe the next day, all our compatriots of the Night Clan need to perform the worship ceremony in an exclusive cave. No one can leave during this whole process, of course
Then no one can take away the girl as a sacrifice. Do you understand my explanation?"
"Of course! I understand, completely understand!"
In order to avoid making this vampire even more emotional, Ariel immediately decided to change the topic and return to the issue of solving the challenge in Bloodfang Village, saying——
"Now I understand the current situation. In order to solve the problems between Bloodfang Village and our Hunter Village, I hope that the head of Stoneleg Village can meet several of my requirements."
The mayor of Stoneleg Village now looked a little unhappy, but he still tried his best to listen to Ariel patiently.
"First of all, until the Yunji Festival, we, the Mermaid Song, promise not to escape. But we hope to get a certain degree of freedom. In other words, I hope we can go outside the Moon God's residence to get some living supplies.
Something like that. But don’t worry, we will never run away.”
Just hearing this question, the Stoneleg Village Chief immediately seemed very dissatisfied and said: "Let you leave? Don't forget, the Giant Ghost Village Chief asked us Hunter Village to watch you by leaving you here.
How could I still allow you to leave freely?"
Ariel smiled and continued: "Chief of Stoneleg Village, do you think that if we don't run away and we run away before the problem in Bloodfang Village is solved, you will become blood slaves. If we don't run away, will you?
Can I stop being a blood slave?"
One sentence directly brought down the head of Shijiu Village. He looked at Ariel blankly, then shook his head and said: "No, no, no, no matter what you say, this is not right! No matter what, our village
There is no way to improve the situation, but after I let you go, the Giant Ghost Village will have even more excuses to squeeze us. If I don't let you go, maybe the Giant Ghost Village Chief will be able to be more lenient with us..."
Compromise, weakness.
Build your own happiness on the charity and kindness of the strong.
Is this feeling familiar?
Ariel could only say that this was so familiar, so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar.
It can also be seen from this that there are actually not many essential differences between these vampires and human races.
"Then let me put it another way."
Ariel touched each other with her hands and continued -
"Do you think it is better to be a happy blood slave? Or to be a free vampire? If we are not allowed to move freely in Mermaid Song, I can guarantee that Hunter Village will never escape the path of blood slaves. But if we are allowed to
If you move freely, the worst you can do is continue to be blood slaves, but if we succeed through free movement, the Hunter Village may be able to continue to be a vampire with free consciousness."
Seeing that the Stoneleg Village Chief was still hesitating, Ariel finally smiled and said: "Well, let's continue to take a step back. I won't leave your place, but my members need to go out and get some food. I believe
You don’t want us humans to all starve to death in your territory after ten days, right? In this case, it will be difficult for you to explain.”
After considering the pros and cons, the head of Shijiu Village finally sighed helplessly and said: "Okay, okay, you can do whatever you want! But, I only allow...well...her among you."
, move freely. Except for her, none of you are allowed to leave the Moon God's residence."
The finger of the village chief of Shizui pointed at Suta. Ariel turned her head and glanced at Suta, and nodded: "No problem. Then Suta, you will be responsible for helping us get some supplies from outside on weekdays so that we can
You can continue to live here. And the second thing..."
Ariel turned her head and scanned the vampires around her. Finally, she stretched out her hand and landed on the vampire named Simon——
"I hope that the Hunter Village can provide some manpower to accompany me in your Moon God's residence during this period of time. On weekdays, they just lend a hand and help us lead the way. Moreover, I hope that these manpower will be with me during this period.
During this period of time, you can try your best to listen to my instructions and don't feel disobedient to me. And I also hope that these vampires can sincerely believe that I am running to solve your next problems, not doing anything.
It’s no use. First, I want to name this friend named Simon. Is that okay?”
Hearing Ariel's request, Stonelegs Village Chief looked even more confused. He frowned and said, "Human, what do you want to do? You can solve us and Bloodfang by just walking around in the Moon God's residence."
Is it a problem for the village?”
Ariel smiled: "Whether I can succeed depends on my efforts, and whether I believe it depends on your determination. Just tell me whether you agree, how about it?"
The head of Stoneleg Village frowned, turned his head and said a few words in the vampire language to Simon over there. The vampire named Simon thought for a while, nodded, then walked out of the crowd and sat in front of everyone.
The blood-red pupils beside her fell on Ariel, as if she were looking at a prey that had completely fallen into the palm of her hand, and then she mumbled a lot.
Cheese translated: "Simon said that he can follow us, or he can follow the president's request. He will also bring a few best friends to follow the president. However, if the president has any
At the slightest sign of trying to escape, your arms will be torn off and your legs will be chopped off."
In response, Ariel smiled, clapped her hands, and nodded to Simon. Then, she turned to Cheese next to her and asked: "In the language of your clan, the two words 'thank you' and 'promise' are
How to say?"
Cheese: "'Thank you' is 'census', and commitment is 'too many pants'."
Ariel kept it in mind and solemnly read these two words to Simon. Simon continued to look Ariel up and down, and after a while, he just nodded lightly and stopped talking.
After discussing and taking a short rest, it seemed that the sky was about to light up. At this point, Ariel also began to arrange for the guild members to rest first, adjust their spirits, and then wait until it gets dark again before making plans again.
Just when these humans started to look for a place to rest, the head of Stoneleg Village waved to Simon standing aside.
"(Blood Clan language) Village Chief."
The head of Stoneleg Village exhaled, his scarlet gaze fell on the members of Mermaid Song, and said slowly——
