When Dago told Su these things, he was in pain and spoke intermittently, like a vague stick figure.
The low tent with dim vision...the dirty hay on the ground...the three men who were violent and grinning...the girl who was half-clothed...
And that girl, when she saw Dago, she had a look in her eyes that was worse than death.
The three men were dissatisfied with Dago's silent intrusion, cursing and lifting their pants. After their eyes adjusted to the sudden light, they finally discovered that it was Dago.
So these three men with three-character names accompanied him and asked Dago if he wanted to join in.
Dago woke up from his shock, and his heart was immediately filled with rage.
He pulled out the short knife from his waist and stabbed the man closest to him to death.
The other two people reacted and backed away in shock. Dagoli became angry and cut the throat of one of them with a knife.
The last person turned around and ran away. Dago chased him and finally smashed his abdomen to pieces with a knife on the grass.
After he returned to the short tent, the girl who fell on the hay had no breath. She swallowed the silver hairpin given to her by Dago.
Dago held her cold body and cried bitterly.
Until the shepherd who got up early discovered the body on the pasture, everyone was summoned.
Dago, as a second-name man, killed three lower-class men without any punishment.
His father compensated the owner of the adjacent pasture with one hundred and twenty lambs, and the matter was settled.
No one in Dago's family came to ask him why he killed people. They tabooed the answer like the plague.
He was sent to a selection camp for leaders and attendants by his father, hoping that he would stop causing trouble and devote his energy to his career to bring glory to the family.
And Dago lived his life in such a muddle-headed way, until at a family gathering, someone made a mistake at the wine table and spilled the beans.
Only then did Dago know that the three men did so at the instruction of his father.
However, he only gave instructions to one of the men to kill the girl.
Maybe that person took it upon himself to invite two friends and planned to play with her before killing her.
Dago was in disbelief and asked his father why he did this.
The old man with gray hair asked Dago what he should do.
The old man blushed and asked Dago if he planned to make his family the laughing stock of the entire grassland.
Dago asked excitedly, just for such a bullshit reason, can you find someone to kill an innocent girl?
The old man sneered, it was just a four-character name, so what if he was killed for the sake of the family's reputation?
Dago left the party tent speechless.
His father's words echoed in his mind.
It’s just a four-letter name…
Dago wandered on the grass in despair until midnight, when an idea sprouted in his mind, and soon he got out of control.
If the source of this tragedy is because of the damn ranking system.
Then just... overturn it!
This thought made Dago's heart burst into life again.
He paid attention to the people around him and asked them indirectly about their opinions on the ranking system, hoping to find comrades he could trust.
It was as if he had finally found his calling and fate began to favor him.
Six months later, he joined a secret society under the introduction of a friend.
The purpose of this association is to overthrow the decadent ranking system.
Dago communicated with them and was delighted to find that he was not alone.
They were so confident that they decided to take advantage of the Warrior Trial to launch a coup.
The key part of the plan is to transfer Gang, the most heroic warrior in the tribe. Otherwise, as long as he is around, it will be difficult for them to accomplish anything.
Someone provided information that Su, the grandson of the tribal leader, had always wanted to hunt the wind. They could help Su facilitate this and kill the future tribal leader.
In this way, Gang, who is eager to protect his calf, will leave the tribe, and they will also get a valuable opportunity to launch a coup.
As for why he didn't take action while Oka was out purchasing materials, that was because the high-end combat power in the association also went out with Oka and had to wait for them to come back.
…
After Su finished telling Dago's story, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and his expression was in pain.
This twelve-year-old boy can no longer use the excuses he used to excuse himself to ignore the tragic situation of hierarchical exploitation.
After listening to the story, Gang's one eye suddenly shone with light, "Who are those traitors?"
Su looked at his uncle coldly, "Do you think the simple word traitor can sum them up?"
"Boy, don't just listen to someone else's story and forget your original position! There is a reason for the tribe to adopt such a system!" Gang said anxiously.
"Tell me quickly, who are those traitors and what are they going to do?" Oka asked quickly, "Your grandfather may be in danger now. Do you want to let your grandfather who loves you the most have anything bad happen to you?"
Su Wenyan's cold eyes darkened, "There's no point in telling you. Dago told me everything just because everything has been settled."
"In the procurement team, except for Yabo, all the two-character names are what you call traitors."
"They should have raided the leader's golden tent by now, killed Grandpa, and snatched away the great wind. It won't be long before many rebels will rise on this grassland."
A smile appeared on the corner of Su's mouth, which was a bit self-deprecating and a bit relieved, "Uncle, we will both be dead soon."
Seeing Su's appearance, Gang was so angry that he picked Su up and slapped him in the mouth several times.
"You bastard, how can you still laugh! Are you proud that our family has been reduced to ashes?"
Su was slapped until the corners of his eyes exploded, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
He looked at Gang crazily, "Otherwise? What should I do? Should I find ways to continue this rule that has made countless Hunter Wind tribe members miserable?"
Tears oozed from the corners of Su's eyes, mixed with blood, "You know what? After listening to Dago's words, I wanted to let him go, but after I dug up Iwate, he didn't want to accept it."
"Do you know what he said?" Su's lips trembled, "He said that it was our family that brought him to this situation, but yet he wanted to save him and make him grateful. It was really a good calculation."
Su's eyes seemed to be dripping with blood and tears, "He cursed me and our family to fall into hell forever, and then committed suicide in front of me!"
"I am not even qualified to save others! Because I am the one who harmed them! I am supported by the group that oppresses them, and I originally planned to pretend to turn a blind eye!"
"Uncle, why don't you understand! We are guilty! We should die now!"
Gang looked at the crazy-looking Su with disgust, threw him down, and ordered everyone to return to the tribe's aid.
Su, on the other hand, turned into that useless look again, hugging his knees and muttering the words that he was born guilty.
