The elephant man was shocked by the thunder that broke out when the giant palm bombarded the reef. It took a long time to come back to his senses, turning his head to look at the young mage with the remote control giant palm, with awe from his heart in his eyes.
Qiao An canceled "Mage Thunder Palm", followed his companion to the elephant, and asked him about the situation on the island.
"Honorable Mr. Elephantman, thank you for taking the initiative to rescue our crew. May I ask how we should call you?" Captain Odysseus intervened on behalf of everyone.
Elephant people can understand the lingua franca of the northern New World, but they speak terribly. There are a lot of native dialects of the Elephant people in their speech, and they put their hands together and bowed to Captain Odysseus with a guilty face.
"The elephant man's name is Tanba. He is a member of the island patrol. He apologizes deeply to us for the accident that happened just now."
Captain Odysseus tried to relay the words of the Elephant Man, and Qiao Ann was immediately questioned.
"Mr. Tanba saved Sinbad. We should thank him. Why should he apologize to us? It doesn't make sense logically! Mr. Odysseus, are you sure that Mr. Tanba really meant this?"
Mr. Captain blushed, and confessed in embarrassment: "In fact, I can only understand a small part of the local dialect used by Mr. Tanba, and there are some things I don't understand myself. I just guess the general meaning."
Hailar shook his head speechlessly and looked back at his companion: "Guys, now we need a more reliable translation."
Holden stroked the "translator's ring" in his hand, flicked his hair freely, and smiled proudly: "Sister Cai Mi, when it comes to translation, we happen to have a professional here--"
"I'm coming! I'm coming!"
Before Mr. Poet's compulsion was finished, Dolly the Parrot jumped out eagerly, her mouth hanging open, and her twittering translation of Danbo's words into a language that everyone could understand.
"Holden is right. When it comes to translating uncommon dialects, no one is more professional than Dolly, who has awakened'speech art' after enlightenment." Qiao An applauded.
Holden opened his mouth with a rather awkward expression. He was embarrassed to correct Qiao'an's misunderstanding, but also had to admit that Dolly's translation was very appropriate, so he could only swallow this sullen breath and shunned it with a dry smile.
Comparing with Dolly's translation, Joanne found that there was nothing wrong with Captain Odysseus's retelling just now, but it lacked a lot of details, so it seemed inexplicable.
Tanbo is indeed a militia of the Xiangren clan. One of his daily missions is to patrol the lake to prevent the mutant Utricularia vulgaris that grows in the center of the lake from being pushed to the shore by wind and currents, injuring tourists.
Recently, there have been some changes on the island. The number of foreign business travelers who come to Xiangren Island for business and vacation has dropped sharply, and there are no tourists on the lakeside from morning to night.
Over time, Tanbo unconsciously relaxed his vigilance, reducing the number of patrols along the lake three times a day in the morning, noon, and night to only one patrol in the morning. Because of the slack at this moment, he could not find the Utricularia floating to the lake early, nor did he come to remind the crew of the "Coral" who went to the island to collect fresh water to pay attention to safety. He didn't suddenly hear the exclamation from the lake. Realizing that something big had happened, he hurried to the rescue.
Although Sinbad and Robinson, who were captured by the mutant Utricularia, were blessed by the "Old Man of the Sun", both of them were out of trouble in the end, but the accident was caused by his negligence. Danbo felt deeply guilty. Repeatedly apologized to everyone and asked them for forgiveness-bowing with both hands together is the usual gesture of apologizing for the people like people.
After listening to Danbo's words, everyone including Joan was deeply moved.
For things like this happened today, Sinbad and Robinson can only blame themselves for being careless, and Joan and the others don't think Danbo is responsible for it.
However, Tanbo truly believed that this was his own mistake, and sincerely asked everyone to forgive him. He could only say that the moral standards between people are even greater than the differences between race and language.
Qiao An feels that perhaps only on an overseas island that has not been affected by modern civilization can the simple and kind aboriginal people like Danbo grow. Of course, he must also admit that not all aboriginals are "noble savages". On other islands in this sea area, don't they still live with ignorant, evil and even cannibalistic indigenous people?
"Mr. Tanba, this is my second visit to Elephant Island. Compared with the last time I visited, I clearly feel that the island has become deserted and depressed. I wonder if it is related to the ‘change’ you just mentioned."
After Hailar finished speaking, Dolly winked. The wise parrot understood, Danbo answered, and she followed the translation, and the simultaneous interpretation was impeccable.
The most famous specialty of Elephant Man Island is none other than pepper, but this time the trouble occurred in the pepper forest on the island.
Three months ago, a terrible monster drifted to the island with ocean currents, settled in a hot spring in the forest, occupied the pepper forest, and used magic to make the thorns in the forest grow wildly, like countless heavy green barbed wire fences. Lin was sealed off to prevent elephants from entering the forest to pick pepper.
The samurai of the elephant clan gathered together, wielded knives and cut through thorns, and finally opened up a path to the forest hot spring, intending to drive out the brutal monster. However, as soon as they walked into the forest with their front feet, the road opened behind them was lost. The wildly growing poisonous thorns were sealed again.
The crusade team that was trapped in the siege eventually had no survivors. It is conceivable that they were all killed by monsters in the forest.
Faced with this severe situation, the elders of the Elephant Clan realized that they could not fight the monsters with their own strength, so they had to terminate the pepper trade, and at the same time notified foreign businessmen to take precautions and do not approach the pepper forest to avoid being hurt by the monster.
The news spread and caused great panic. The merchants who bought the pepper learned of the crisis on the island and believed that the risk here was too high and unprofitable, and they would not do business in the future.
And the tourists who came to the hot springs on the island were also scared off by the rumors of the monsters in the forest.
Elephant Island has lost its two major sources of economy, trade and tourism, and life is very difficult. The situation on the island is not as good as each day, and it is full of depression, so that the elders have begun to discuss whether it is necessary to lead the tribe to go to sea in batches. A stable home.
As a young generation of Elephant Humans, Tanba was of course unwilling to give up the land of his ancestors to monsters, but he also knew that he was incapable of fighting monsters, and he was very depressed.
After listening to Danbo's complaint, Audrey took off the golden holy emblem hung around her neck and showed it to Danbo and her companions.
"As you can see, the elephant people are followers of our lord Pei Luo, and as a paladin of the sun god, I cannot watch my faithful suffer but remain indifferent. I am obligated to help the elephant people fight the occupying pepper forest. Monster!"
