Six traces of the dream domain empty city

Chapter 40 Drawings
In the camp, the disappearance of the two hunters was a bit depressing, but the news Yao brought back was like a bolt from the blue, making everyone dizzy.

In the conference hall that had just been tidied up, the elders in the settlement, the Great Elder and Yao sat together, and no one spoke.

The wrinkles on the Great Elder's face appeared more and deeper, and after a while, he seemed to have aged ten years.But sitting in this position, one has to make a decision, even if this decision could affect the fate of the whole clan.

"Prepare...to move." These words seemed to be extremely important, and the moment they were spoken, the Great Elder was also a little weak.

Yao looked up, with a strange flame burning in his eyes, and said, "If you move again, the Stone of Life will be permanently damaged. How long can the new camp last?"

No one answered this question, even the Great Elder deliberately avoided it.

Yao, however, refused to relax, staring at the elder, and said word by word: "Elder, the new camp can't last, can it?"

The Great Elder's expression changed, and he finally sighed, and said: "Our settlement has been relocated several times, especially the interval between the last few times is too short, and now the power of the Stone of Life has dropped below the standard line. You should have some Do you feel it? Not to mention the new camp, even this camp, it is very difficult to sustain it.”

The power of the Stone of Life involves every aspect of the life of the settlement. Among other things, it directly determines the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and the time they can persist in the rainforest.

The stronger the warrior, the more able to resist danger, the stronger the hunter, and the wider the range of activities, the stronger the settlement will naturally be.

The long-term benefit is that when the energy of the Stone of Life is sufficient, one can sacrifice to the ancestors and obtain vital inheritance, knowledge and information.

Without the Stone of Life, the Lost People can hardly move in the rainforest.They grow tired, not fully recovered by rest, become irritable, and gradually weaken.

If you fail to return to the camp to replenish your energy for a long time, you will forget a lot of things you have memorized.

All in all, the Lifestone is pretty much everything to the Lost People.

Except for the Great Elder, the rest of the settlement did not know much about the exact state of the Stone of Life.Hearing what the Great Elder said at this moment, several elders turned pale with shock, and some of them were already in tears, and murmured: "The sky wants to kill me, the sky wants to kill me!"

Yao Teng stood up and said: "Anyway, it is doomed to perish, so why not fight?"

"How to fight?"

"There are so many ogres, and the ones who come are elite fighters and great chiefs, what do we have to fight for?"

"Even if everyone in the settlement takes up arms, they can't stop it!"

This sounded right, but for some reason, Yao felt it was particularly harsh today, and she shouted: "We have Huang Quan now!"

The meeting hall was instantly quiet, and all the elders focused their eyes on Yao, with strangely enthusiastic eyes, which made her feel uncomfortable.

"Will he stay?" an elder asked tentatively.

Although I still don't know the origin of Huang Quan, but seeing that he can coexist with the Stone of Life and can use a gun, everyone has agreed that he should be a great warrior in a large settlement or even a shelter, but because he left for too long, he lost partial memory.

Such a character cannot be kept in a small settlement, and he will definitely go back when he thinks about it.

Haruka was suddenly stunned by the question, not knowing how to answer.She was just impulsive, and actually didn't know what Huang Quan meant.

And she always had a feeling that people like Huang Quan were not something that this small settlement could keep.He is an eagle, and only the vast sky is his destination.

Seeing that she didn't answer, another elder made some guesses and said smartly: "It seems that he has this intention. Yao, you have to find ways to keep him, no matter what method you use! If you don't have enough, Then the women in the settlement can be chosen by him!"

Haruka didn't expect him to say such a thing at all, and immediately froze.Another elder said: "Isn't this bad? Most of the women in the settlement already have owners."

The previous elder said with a straight face, "This is a matter of life and death for the entire settlement! So what if there is a master? If Huangquan cannot be left behind, everyone will die! For the continuation of the settlement, for the will of the ancestors not to be terminated in our hands, Everyone should contribute, and everyone can sacrifice! If he takes a fancy to my granddaughter, I will never object! If he doesn’t care about the life and death of the entire settlement for his own sake, I don’t think he needs to stay in the settlement. Alright, the exile is over!"

These words were so righteous that the rest of the people could not make a sound, besides, it was a settlement tradition that the strong had priority.But for some reason, Yao just felt so congested in his heart that he couldn't even breathe.

The Great Elder said slowly at this time: "It's still too early to say this, so how about it, Yao, you go and ask Huang Quan what he means first. We will discuss after we have confirmed his thoughts."

Yao said coldly: "I don't want to go, I have to ask you yourself!"

The elder who proposed was immediately displeased, "This is a major matter that concerns the entire clan, how can you be so willful? Besides, didn't you propose to find Huang Quan?"

"It's true that I mentioned it, but I just don't want to ask about this kind of thing!"

"Presumptuous!" The elder jumped up.

Yao stared back unceremoniously, "I am a great samurai, what do you want?"

The elder suffocated immediately.

The Great Elder stood between the two of them, and said, "Yao doesn't want to go, so don't force it, let me talk about it."

Yao snorted, turned around and left without even saying hello.The elder was so angry that his face was flushed, and he said angrily: "Look, look! What does this look like! Even if it's a great warrior, it's just a woman, what's the use of giving birth to a child?"

Many elders nodded slightly.

In settlements, women are accessories and tools for procreating offspring, which has been a consensus for hundreds of years.Even if Yao became the only great samurai in a hundred years, it would not change the deep-rooted concepts in people's hearts, especially the elderly.

And what the elder said was not completely unreasonable. After a woman gives birth, her strength will decline, just like the rising of the sun, it will inevitably set, and there is no way to avoid it.

When the great elder walked out of the conference hall, he happened to see Yao's back.She trembled slightly, apparently hearing what the elders had just said.

The Great Elder didn't know what to say, he sighed inwardly, and went all the way to find Huang Quan.

The table in front of Huang Quan was covered with paper, and he was writing and drawing on the paper with a charcoal pencil.The Great Elder was a little curious, and when he took a closer look, he saw that the paintings on it were all armor styles.

These blueprints are different from any blueprints obtained by the Great Elder through ancestor sacrifices. They are extremely fine, with dense numbers marked on them, and even arcs are marked in many places.

Huang Quan didn't mean to shy away from it, but the First Elder watched it for a long time, but he had to admit that he didn't understand most of them.In particular, the radians in some places are marked with dense numbers and formulas, which makes the Great Elder feel strange.Doesn’t the radian depend on the feel of the hand? Can it be measured?

The Great Elder finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "What is this?"

"I designed the armor for myself." Huang Quan said.

"It's not a problem to make a set of armor, but I'm afraid we won't be able to make the armor you designed."

Huang Quan smiled and said, "It doesn't need to be so fine, I will guide it by the side. In some places, it's fine to make it with the feel of the hand."

It turns out that it still depends on the touch, and the Great Elder's heart suddenly relaxes.He has built weapons and appliances for decades, and what he is best at is the feel.

"Then this set of blueprints..."

Huang Quan said: "When the armor is finished, the blueprint will be given to you."

The elder was overjoyed immediately.

Although he couldn't understand many parts of Huang Quan's set of blueprints, he at least knew that the design of many places had never been seen before, and the standard was far higher than the blueprints obtained from ancestor sacrifices.

It's not that there were no high-level drawings during the ancestor sacrifices, but since they couldn't read them, they naturally couldn't remember them, let alone write them down.

This set of drawings must be kept well and passed on from generation to generation.Although I can't understand the numbers and formulas marked above, as long as the settlement is still passed on, there will always be smart people among the younger generations who can understand it.

Since Huang Quan promised to give away the drawings, the Great Elder immediately said: "I will personally forge your armor! It will be finished in a few days!"

No matter how complicated the drawing is, it is nothing more than a set of armor.The Great Elder is confident that he can complete the construction within three days, and he is so confident in his own hand.
