Chapter 55 Fighting Customs
In the early morning, as soon as the sun rose, Tina came to the stone house of the prison.
Palin got her head out of the sleeping bag and twisted her body uncomfortably. Her hands were still tied behind her back, and she slept like this all night, causing the blood not to circulate, so she felt numb.
"Good morning!" Tina gently put the wooden bowl on the ground, and then reached out to help Palin, who was unable to move, "Are you hungry? Eat something!"
"My hands are numb, can you help me untie the rope?" Palin said, "And I can't eat like this!"
"If you untie the rope, I can't beat you." Tina shook her head lightly, "How about I feed you?"
"I slept like this all night, it's very uncomfortable!" Palin said blankly, "You untie the rope and let me move my muscles. I won't attack you. I swear in the name of the greatest God of War!"
"Then what if you run away? Keen will be angry..." Tina shook her head worriedly.
"I swear in the name of God of War, I won't run either!" Palin stared into Tina's eyes and said.
"This..." Tina hesitated for a moment, "Okay!"
As a warrior, it is very solemn to swear an oath in the name of the God of War. Generally speaking, no warrior would break such an oath!
After the rope was untied, Palin did not attack the worried and vigilant Tina. She moved her hands until the numbness disappeared: "It's much better!"
"Let's have breakfast!" Tina picked up the wooden bowl and handed it to Palin.
"What's this?" Palin asked.
"Honey barbecue!" Tina smiled slightly, "You have never tasted delicious food before."
Palin was dubious, and reached out to take a piece and put it in her mouth. A strange sweet smell immediately filled the mouth, and then spread to every cell in the body. Immediately afterwards, the smell of barbecue also radiated, which made her feel extremely happy.
She devoured one piece and immediately picked up the second. In the blink of an eye, all the honey barbecue in the wooden bowl was eaten up. She looked at the wooden bowl with unrestrained eyes, stretched out her pink and tender tongue to lick off the honey left on her fingers, then touched her swollen belly, and said to Tina expressionlessly: "It's delicious." !"
"Right?" Seeing that she liked it, Tina laughed happily, "These honeys are hard-won treasures!"
"Tina!" While talking, a teenager exclaimed from outside the prison, "Why did you untie her? She's a town guard, it's too dangerous! Come out quickly!"
"Amber, don't worry!" Tina looked back at him and said, "Pellin didn't mean anything."
"How do you know she's not lying to you?" Amber asked anxiously, "What if she catches you and threatens Lord Keen?"
"Amber, a person's eyes can't lie." Tina looked at Palin and smiled, "Right?"
"Traitor Amber?" Palin looked up at the young man outside the barred window, expressionless.
"I'm not a traitor!" Amber shouted angrily, "Tina, Lord Keen is calling you. Come out now!"
"Okay!" Tina nodded, and then looked at Palin, "I'll go to Keen's side first, and I'm wronging you to stay here for a few more days!"
Palin didn't speak, just nodded. She was expressionless from beginning to end, like a wooden figure.
After Tina came out, she locked the door, and walked to her house with Amber carrying the wooden bowl.
Before dawn, Jia Zhengjin used the iron ingots smelted last night, plus wood and arrows to build two arrow towers in each of the four directions of the base. And a short layer of stone bricks was built on the periphery. Just this little project made him exhausted, and it would take a day or two to build a high wall around the city!
Regardless of whether it is the past life or the current world, building a city wall is not something that one person can easily do.
Even if it is just a small inner city wall, it needs hundreds or even thousands of manpower to build it. Jia Zhengjin used the golden finger alone to do the work of thousands of people, of course it was very tiring!
After being tired, I need to relax properly, so I called Tina and Worf immediately after breakfast, and prepared to ride a Triceratops together to explore the forest area near the base to find out what alien biological groups exist in this area. , whether there are more edible wild fruit resources, and the specific distribution of mineral vein resources.
Amber originally wanted to go with him, but was called away by his father, Old Harlem, to reclaim the farmland together.
Jia Zhengjin brought twenty-five kobold crossbowmen and one kobold patrol soldier, and the remaining twenty-five were responsible for guarding the base under the command of the kobold leader. With them, together with the eight surrounding arrow towers, even if they were suddenly attacked, they would be able to ensure that the Amber family and Tina's parents retreated smoothly and joined their side.
When the assembly was completed and ready to go, Palin in the prison stone room shouted a few words.
"What did she say?" Jia Zhengjin looked at Tina in confusion.
Tina relayed Palin's meaning in unfamiliar Chinese and gestures.
Jia Zhengjin finally understood that this female soldier with a frozen expression and no emotion on her face from the beginning to the end did not like being held in prison as a prisoner of war, so she asked to use the fighting customs prevailing in this world to fight for freedom.
If the female warrior Peilin wins, according to the fighting customs, she will get rid of the treatment of a prisoner, and Jia Zhengjin must release her unconditionally to let her go; if Peilin is defeated, she can only be killed by the victorious side, incorporated or even sold as goods , can not have any complaints! This barbaric fighting custom has been handed down from ancient times, but it is strictly followed by all warriors who seek strength.
As the party who initiates the proposal, she will not have the right to choose the object of the duel, nor the right to formulate the form of the duel. The only thing we can do is to do our best to defeat the fighting form and fighting goals formulated by the accepting party!
"Is this kind of challenge popular here?" Jia Zhengjin asked Tina with his words and gestures.
"Generally, warriors with strong self-esteem will make such a request for freedom under certain circumstances! They believe in the justice of the God of War." Tina also explained in unfamiliar Chinese and gestures, "Therefore, various countries have also born people who worship the God of War. Prisoner-fighting contests, specially for the powerful to watch for fun!"
"Then what should I do?" Jia Zhengjin asked.
"In the face of such a challenge, you generally can't refuse!" Tina explained, "Unless you directly admit defeat and let the opponent win automatically. But doing so will damage your reputation!"
"That is to say, I have to accept her challenge?" Jia Zhengjin thought for a while, "Anyway, if I'm idle, I'm idle. I can decide who to fight and how to fight, right? Wolf, you fight her! "
