Although this underground cave is no less than a small city, there are not many twists and turns when meeting the patriarch.
Because the patriarch lives in the building directly below the artificial sun.
An egg-shaped building.
A man of great taste.
This was Li Yi's first impression before he met the clan leader.
After actually seeing it, it's another story.
"Hahahaha! It's hard to welcome a distinguished guest from afar!"
An old man about one meter tall came over with a smile and open arms.
However, he soon discovered that with his height, he could only reach Li Yi's waist. He immediately retracted his hand with an awkward but polite smile, put it behind his back, and nodded with a smile.
He looks like an elder.
The words he spoke were still completely incomprehensible.
Fortunately, Lei Li was there, otherwise Li Yi really didn't know what to do when he saw a dark little old man opening his arms towards him.
"Hello, Mr. Patriarch, I have taken the liberty of visiting you."
"Hahaha, you're welcome, take a seat, don't be polite, come and serve the wine!"
The patriarch didn't take it seriously at all and directly ordered people to entertain him.
But after thinking about it, he shouted again.
"Give me the biggest bowl!"
Then, in full view of everyone, a man held a bowl as big as his head in his hands and brought it up.
And Li Yi took it with one hand.
This is similar to the cup he usually drinks from. If there is a difference, it is probably the difference between the cup Yao Ming drinks from and the cup ordinary people drink from.
It can be seen that this patriarch is quite considerate.
In this case, Li Yi did not hesitate, drank it all in one gulp, and praised it.
“Good wine!”
"Hahahaha! Not bad, right?"
It's really good. In fact, Li Yi doesn't drink alcohol often, so naturally he can't taste the bitter taste in ordinary wine.
But this glass of wine is sweet!
In fact, this is easy to understand, although having an artificial sun in the underground city makes up for the disadvantage that the black people cannot enjoy the sun bathing to a certain extent.
But it still cannot be fully compensated.
Without sugar supplements, problems such as osteoporosis may easily occur.
As for the salt, don’t worry.
Have you ever seen anyone who lives by the sea lack salt supplements?
Even if the seawater is polluted, just filtering out the salt should not be a problem.
Moreover, Li Yi also saw that the fresh water these black people drank was actually rainwater.
However, as far as he knew, even rainwater only entered the sky after the seawater evaporated and then fell down through a series of reactions.
In this process, pollutants cannot actually be volatilized.
That said, rainwater is equally unsafe.
But these black people have obviously been living here for a long time.
How is this going?
While he was thinking, the patriarch spoke.
"Is this...Mr. Li?"
Seeing Li Yi nodded slightly, the old patriarch continued.
"Well, Mr. Li, judging by your name, you should not have any blood relationship with my ancestors. I wonder where you learned the ancient e-text from?"
Li Yi thought to himself that he was indeed here, but he had already thought of his words.
"My ancestors made many good friends and recorded everything they saw and heard. Naturally, this also included records of conversations with many of his friends from all over the world. In order to facilitate future generations to review, my ancestors also thoughtfully recorded dozens of them. The different languages were recorded, and Bing told future generations to learn them all if they had the chance, so now I can understand Rayleigh's ancient e-text."
Li Yi said without blushing, not feeling ashamed or embarrassed at all because of his casual remarks.
"Oh! So that's it. No wonder, no wonder Mr. Li said it so well."
The old leader of the Blackened Clan looked stunned, and then gestured to Lei Li with his eyes. He nodded in confirmation before continuing.
"Then I wonder if I can know the purpose of your visit?"
Of course, these are the original words of the clan leader. As for the translation...
"What our clan leader wants to ask is the same as what I asked before, what is the purpose of your coming here?"
To be honest, it is not impossible to tell them the mission. Li Yi actually prefers to tell them the purpose.
Because if you gain the trust of the other party's coward, whether he wants to increase the exploration level or do something else, such as clearing clues, it will be of great help.
This was actually his original idea.
But just when he was about to reveal his purpose, he finally held back.
"Sorry, it's not convenient to reveal the purpose of my coming here, but I can guarantee that I will never have any ill intentions towards you."
At this point, he raised one hand and put it on his chest.
"I can swear that if I have any ill intentions towards you, my friendship with my ancestor and Rayleigh's ancestor will be broken, and Rayleigh will no longer be my friend!"
As soon as these words came out, the patriarch, who had been smiling just now, immediately elongated his face. His face changed from sunny to cloudy, and his face turned pitch black. He didn't say anything, and just stared at Li Yi.
As for Rayleigh, although the content of the oath was related to him, it was as if he could not hear it at all. Even the translation seemed careless and was not affected at all.
"My friend, I think in this land, the words of us black people are still effective. If you have any concerns, you can speak up, but if you want to hide it, I advise you to think clearly. "
With a gloomy face, the clan leader said these words.
As soon as he finished speaking, several guards took a step forward silently, which immediately made the atmosphere at the scene extremely depressing, making people want to take a breath for fear of suffocation.
Li Yi seemed to have no feeling about this and remained indifferent. He acted as if he had not seen the murderous guards, and his words seemed loud and clear.
"What? The patriarch thinks I'm deliberately hiding it?"
"In that case, I can tell a lie at will, and I believe you can't tell it, but what good will that do to me? Will it gain your trust? Or, if it is exposed after this, let you Are you going to get angry and kill me?"
Um?
The clan leader was startled, and subconsciously raised his hand to stop several team members who were about to rush forward, and then looked at Li Yi with his eyes that seemed a little cloudy from staying underground for a long time.
Li Yi suddenly discovered that the other party's eyes had become sharper than ever at this time.
"You really think so?"
"Otherwise, if you don't believe me, I can make up a reason for you on the spot." Li Yi spread his hands, "I can even make up the whole story of where I came from. I guarantee it will be seamless and there will never be any lies. Traces, do you believe it?"
"Eh? Hahahaha! Interesting and interesting. I haven't seen such an interesting young man for a long time."
The clan leader sighed, let out a long breath, and the expression on his face turned gloomy again.
After waving his hand to signal several of his subordinates to step back, the patriarch looked up at the giant in front of him thoughtfully.
"I haven't seen a human with normal height for a long time!"
Reilly:???! ! !
Li Yi:...?
"Oh, so you've actually seen normal humans?"
Although he was a little surprised at first, Li Yi also felt that if the leader of a strange race living underground didn't know some secrets, then there would probably be no hope for this race.
He didn't mind that the other party took the opportunity to fill a cup because of the language barrier, and he didn't mind that Rayleigh, who was the captain of the guard, shared this secret with him.
At the same time, this is also the truth about the current situation of the black people.
The table is set.
The tea is brewed.
Since it is underground, the ventilation is not as good as on the ground, so aromatherapy is unnecessary.
Li Yi knew it from the moment the face of the old patriarch, who originally seemed to be quite energetic, tilted upward at a forty-five-degree angle.
This one is going to start telling a story.
If nothing else happens.
This should be the truth behind why the Blackened Tribe has lived underground for a long time.
Because he has "seen" it, the progress bar symbolizing the degree of exploration seems to be ready to move.
