What happened to the yew and Skinner? Cheese, they don''t know now. What they know is that they have not seen any trace of smoke around, nor have they found any evidence of the existence of goblins and evil spirits. What to do next? This is a question for several people to think about. While thinking about it, they need to stop moving temporarily and recover their lost energy.
"You can''t take the child back with you." These are the first words Rosa said after sitting down for a little rest. The child in his mouth refers to the boy who is infected with parasites in his body and has been ordered by uville as a sacrifice to the Skinner. The count''s words seemed full of problems at first. What could cheese do to him if he didn''t take him back? After the parasite removal operation, the patient''s body has reached a level of extreme weakness, and the sequelae of the operation also doomed the child to be unable to fully recover the mobility of his lower limbs. He has no possibility of living alone.
On the other hand, Lothar''s words have a deeper consideration. He''s been through sacrifice, and he knows what sacrifice is. Now that they temporarily prevent the skinners from getting the sacrifice promised by the shale tribe, it can not solve the problem. It may even aggravate the skin skinners'' anger and make them attack the tribe without loss. It''s not hard to guess what uville, as the leader, will do. He will send the child to the Skinner again, and this time, he will make sure that the child is really in the hands of the blasphemers.
For the poor boy, shalebu was no longer his home. Wuqi is also aware of this matter and can be used as a shaman of the shales. His position is different from that of cheese. Rather, regardless of their situation, the question they are facing is actually a question of whether to sacrifice one person to save a group of people, which has never been solved since ancient times. In the final analysis, each person has only one life, and no individual has the right to choose to sacrifice others for any purpose. And it may be the concept of the state and the dilemma that may eventually arise.
"I don''t agree. Skinners are not going to be wiped out so easily. And we still have room for explanation. I can understand the idea that you want to protect him, but if you don''t take him back now, when the Skinner comes back, there will be chaos within the tribe. No one wants to be a sacrifice. Fear makes people desperate. " Shaman has a calm face. He is the servant of the spirits. Of course, he hates the Skinner and pities the patient. However, the law on the grassland is such that the shale tribe does not have the strength to stop the skin skinners who are determined to attack. A small amount of sacrifice is better than the destruction of the tribe.
"I know what you''re worried about, shaman. But it doesn''t matter. If the guys in the skin dare to come, we''ll let them know Rosa''s words sound like bragging. But he does have a solid foundation. At dawn, this magic lantern made by dwarves stores the sunrise light on a special day, and the sun is a sharp weapon that can completely kill the Skinner! With this lantern, the count was confident that the intruder would never come back. Without external threats, the internal problems of the shal''er ministry will not be a problem.
Wuqi''s face became more complicated. He guessed that the count''s confidence was not arrogant, and he was aware of the lantern hanging from the wooden staff in the grey robe. Even so, fighting with skinners is still a disturbing option. Moreover, the Shaman is not the only one who has this idea, so is cheese.
"No. This is not the time. " The master''s words made Lothar''s expression a little embarrassed, but cheese didn''t care about the latter''s face, and continued to analyze, "we don''t know how many skinners there are. Besides, they are in the dark, we are in the light. These guys may not attack us on their own initiative, but they are enough to be a threat to people going out. If we want to save the child''s life, or we will kill all the skinners and leave none. Or... " The mage hesitated for a moment.
"Or we have to find them another target." Cheese himself was shivering slightly when he said this. This is the result of his rational analysis. Today''s Skinner is like a raging flood. It is impossible to block it, but it is not so difficult to guide it to other places. However, this flood will inevitably inundate villages and towns, either this one or the next. Offering them another goal, in a sense, is to switch the knife across their necks to someone else''s.
Several people looked at each other, and they all knew that the two possibilities in the mage''s mouth would only be possibilities. It is no less difficult to find a Skinner on the grassland that can change its shape by skin bag than to find shrimp disguised as sand on the beach. As for the introduction of disaster to the East, no one really takes it as a strategy. At least not in a few people here.
After recovering some physical strength in silence, several people began to move, which may be due to the overdose of anesthetic used in the operation, and the child as a sacrifice has not yet woken up. "The worms probably released some toxins in him when they were pulled out. It''s very common that some parasites provide the host with substances that can excite nerves and even hallucinate. I''ve seen people who deliberately keep them in their bodies. But this kind of insect poison will be metabolized by the body soon after the parasite is stripped, so don''t worry too much
The explanation of grey robe is as difficult as ever, but he still gives a more clear judgment. Knowing that the coma is not a big problem, ATA, who has been worried about the patient''s condition, is a little relieved. They were not far from moving in the fog, and before noon, a few of them were close to reaching the tribal boundaries. However, just as they gave their breath, the silent vibration suddenly came!From under the ground, up and down the ground shaking almost to throw people into the air, so that everyone lost the center. They fell to the ground, their faces showing surprise and fear. Lothar tried to get up, but both failed quickly. "What''s going on?" Batu''s face was pale, and he thought it was a magic trick released by the skin Skinner''s anger.
Fortunately, the tremor came and went quickly, and a few seconds later, the world returned to stability. Cheese got up from the ground and patted the soil. "It looks like an earthquake."
In the distance, there was a loud voice from the tribe. Wuqi squinted. "I''m afraid it''s not a simple earthquake. Come on, we have to go and have a look. "
