Chronicles of Primordial Wars

CoPW 153 – Kabile

Çeviren: Jon

There wasn’t any mention of tribes living across the river on the animal hide that the Shaman had given to Shao Xuan.

What the hides had told him was that in the past, this area was nothing but wasteland.

For some unknown reason, during the ancestor’s time, they left their old homes in search of new lands. Unexpectedly, the ground split open, and the gap gradually grew larger and larger, until the other side couldn’t be seen.

Shao Xuan speculated that after the giant crevice had appeared, the rapid topological changes caused water to flow in from other areas. Yarıklar hızla doldu ve bir nehre dönüştü ve ardından suda gördüğü vahşi yaratıklar da dahil olmak üzere çeşitli yaşam formları içeri girdi.

However, the formation of this river stood firm, blocking the ancestors return path.

After the river’s formation, the ancestors had held it in great reverence. And so, when they had wanted to return, they would look for alternative routes instead of passing through the river. Adding to that was the fact that there were various threats lurking in the river.

Approximately a millennium has passed since then, and the Flaming Horn tribe, that was separated by the crevice, has been living in isolation.

While on this side of the river, great changes have also occurred. What was once considered a wasteland has now become a swampy land covered with water, that now houses a tribe.

Luckily, there wasn’t a language barrier and they could easily converse.

"Kabilenizin adı nedir?" Shao Xuan sordu.

Karşı taraf yanıt vermedi. Getting up, he carefully sized Shao Xuan and asked, “Were you truly in the river for twenty days?”

"Aslında." Shao Xuan yanıt verdi.

"Yalancı!"

The other party cried out, walking towards Shao Xuan with large strides as his fist came flying in an imposing manner.

Bang!

Shao Xuan'ın avucu gelen yumruğu yakaladı.

At this moment, the other party realized that his fist had been firmly grasped by Shao Xuan. Failing to break free, his eyes let out a murderous light, and his other hand shot out like lightning, grabbing onto Shao Xuan’s wrist. At the same time, with an abrupt twist of his ankle, he launched himself up, spinning rapidly in the air.

The mud on the boy’s body flung out in all four directions as he spun through the air.

Baba!

His two feet fell to the ground, his spinning coming to a halt.

“Beni kandırmana izin vermeyeceğim... ha?!” His triumphant expression froze, his eyes widening as he looked incredulously at his hands.

He originally thought that he could have twisted Shao Xuan’s arm, but instead of doing so, he found himself bound up by grass rope. He raised his head to find Shao Xuan in perfect condition, and then looked at his two hands. Bu nasıl oldu?

Shao Xuan felt a headache coming as he looked at the other person. He already thought that the children back in the tribe were too violent, but he never thought the kid in front of him would be worse. He’d just kept quiet and then attacked suddenly. If Shao Xuan had not quickly stopped that attack just now, his arm might’ve been twisted off.

Just now, the boy was lying down motionless, recovering his strength. Then, with the small amount of strength he regained, he actually used it against his savior!

O nasıl bir insan?

The previous strike had used up all of the boy’s strength. With his hands tied, raggedly gasping for breath, he glared fiercely at Shao Xuan.

The boy’s face and arms were still covered in mud, but after spinning around, most of the mud had flung off. This allowed Shao Xuan to get a clearer view of him.

When the boy was attacking him, Shao Xuan had noticed that the boy’s body lit up with totem lines. Çizgilerinin her biri bütün vücudunu kaplayacak şekilde birbiriyle bağlantılıydı ve yüzünde çocuğun ağzı neredeyse kulaklarına kadar açılmış, bir sıra keskin diş ortaya çıkmıştı. Shao Xuan was confident enough to bet that the kid had personally sharpened them to be used for biting.

Right now, without any strength, the patterns on the boy’s body had disappeared, and his mouth was restored to its original appearance.

"Birinin gerçekten de kurtarıcılarına saldıracağını hiç düşünmemiştim! Görünüşe göre kabileniz iyi insanlarla dolu değil." dedi Shao Xuan.

“It’s you who isn’t a good person! Thief!” Çocuk inatla söyledi.
"Ne çaldım? Görmek için gözlerini kullanmıyor musun? Gözlerini kullanmadan birine hırsız demeye cüret etmek, buna iftira denir. İftiranın ne demek olduğunu biliyor musun? Senin gibi sadece saçmalamayı bilen biri için, senin beyninde bok var mı?

Have you heard the story of the farmer and the snake? Ah, kesinlikle daha önce hiç duymadınız. It goes, even if a person saves the life of a snake, he will still be bitten in the end. Next time you encounter danger, let us see who will save you! Ölümün tadını hâlâ hatırlıyor musun?!”

Shao Xuan spouted out a tirade, saying whatever came to his mind without thinking. Etrafta insanların olduğunu fark etti; muhtemelen bu çocukla birlikteydiler. Yeni gelmişlerdi ve gösteriyi izliyorlardı, bu yüzden Shao Xuan, maruz kaldığı adaletsizliği dile getirerek olan her şeyi duyurdu. If the kid continued to say the same things as before, then they would be irreconcilable and he would fly off to another place with Chacha.

Çocuk, Shao Xuan'ın sözleriyle bombardımana tutulduktan sonra, anlamadığı birkaç şey olmasına rağmen, bu onun genel anlayışını engellemedi.

Gerçekten bir hata yapmış olabilir mi?

After he finished speaking, Shao Xuan grunted as he walked towards Chacha, his face filled with fury and disappointment. Chacha'nın yanına ulaştığında şöyle dedi: "Bir dahaki sefere kabilenizden uzak duracağız. Karşılaştığımız herkese sizin halkınızla, iyilikleri unutan ve adaleti çiğneyen insanlarla etkileşime girmemelerini söyleyeceğim. Bunun ne anlama geldiğini biliyor musunuz? Boşverin bunu, sizinle konuşmak anlamsız. Chacha, hadi gidelim!"

"Bekle! Bekle!"

The people hiding in the trees hurriedly came out and called out to Shao Xuan as he was getting ready to jump on top of Chacha.

Two people came out, one was old and the other was young. The older one was incredibly robust and had the same tan eyes as the kid. However, standing next to him was a little girl, whose eyes were brown. She also appeared to be less violent, giving people a feeling of gentleness.

Seeing the people walking out, the tied up kid happily said, “Father!”

Ancak çocuk uzun süre mutlu olmadı. As the man walked over with heavy steps, he lifted the kid up into the air by his shirt and gave him a couple of slaps, not even holding back.

Shao Xuan'ın dili tutulmuştu.

This type of education was way too similar to the one back at the tribe. They would always hit first, and then talk later. Before he arrived, he didn’t know whether other tribes would have this style of teaching.

The boy was already lacking strength, and after being beaten up by his own father, he rubbed his nose and stayed quiet, not daring to cry. He was only able to assume a look of having been wronged.

The man that walked up simply did not care, and after throwing him aside, he said to the girl next to him, “Shui Lan, look after him.”

"Peki." Kız aceleyle cevap verdi.

After beating up his own child, the man looked towards Shao Xuan, retracting his vicious gaze. He tried to give Shao Xuan a feeling of goodwill while smiling. However, no matter how much he smiled with his eyes, they still gave people a feeling of icy coldness.

Adam Shao Xuan'a "Bu gerçekten bizim hatamızdı. Bu küçük kardeş, Chen Jia'yı kurtaran sen misin? Ah, bu benim çocuğumun adı, benimki Fu Shi" dedi.

“Yes, I’m the one that saved him,” Shao Xuan sighed. "Bu, bilgi ve deneyim toplayarak bu dünyada yolumu bulmaya çalışırken kabilemden ilk ayrılışımdı. Ama karşılaştığım ilk kişi beklenmedik bir şekilde... ai!"

And so, Shao Xuan started narrating his interaction with Chen Jia while not sparing any details or telling any untruths. Adam, oğlunun kollarının neden bağlandığını anlamadığından Shao Xuan, iyi niyetle dünyayı görmek için kabilesinden ayrıldığını vurgulayarak ayrıntılı bir şekilde açıkladı.

After Fu Shi finished listening to Shao Xuan’s account, he clenched his fists, and then firmly stared at Chen Jia. Though he had not spoken, his eyes seemed to be saying, “Watch as this old man puts you back in place when we get home.”

Chen Jia could not help but continuously cower backwards.

When Fu Shi turned back to Shao Xuan once more, his face resumed his smiling demeanor. He promptly apologized while trying to justify his son’s actions. “He isn’t usually like this, it’s just he lost something in the tribe recently and has been unable to catch the thief…”
Yani bu kadar çirkin mi davranıyor? Shao Xuan bakışlarını Chen Jia'nın üzerinde gezdirdi. It was lucky he was dexterous and able to cope with the attack. Otherwise, if he were to be replaced with anybody else, they would’ve easily gotten their arm broken by that punch!

Undoubtedly, Fu Shi realized his own son was wrong. The reputation of the tribe had always been bad, so their Shaman was always telling them to be friendly. And now, his own child attacked the one that had saved his life. Chen Jia sadece dayak yemek istiyordu!

Knowing that Shao Xuan was unaware of the outside world, he told him, “This is the Drumming tribe; we are all tribe members.”

Davul çalan kabile mi?

Shao Xuan gerçekten de onların adını duymamıştı.

“Ben Alevli Boynuzlar kabilesindenim.” Shao Xuan responded, observing the other man’s reactions.

Adam kaşlarını çatarak dikkatlice düşündü. Bu kabilenin adını hiç duyduğunu hatırlamıyordu.

“Kabileniz çok uzakta olmalı, değil mi?” diye sordu.

“It’s extremely far. I was on the river in my boat for twenty days until I reached here.”

The nearly beat up Chen Jia was preparing to say something, but Shui Lan kicked him to shut his mouth.

Fu Shi was also pondering on the validity of his claims. Shao Xuan knew their biggest doubt was the fact that he had been on the water for twenty days. It seems he would have to further explain things later on.

Her ne kadar biraz şüpheci olsa da, Fu Shi yine de Shao Xuan'ı kabileye geri davet etti ve onu uygun şekilde karşılamaları ve oğlunu kurtardığı için ona teşekkür etmeleri gerektiğini söyledi.

Gökyüzüne bakan Shao Xuan kabul etti. He knew the other party wanted to confirm his identity. However, Shao Xuan decided he should talk to other people and understand the situation here.

And so, Shao Xuan and Chacha followed behind and headed to the core region of the Drumming tribe.

Yolda, biraz daha ayrıntılı da olsa, kendi kabilesindekilere benzer kıyafetler giyen ve benzer silahlar taşıyan diğer kabile üyeleriyle karşılaştılar.

Shao Xuan also discovered that the tribe members could be split into two types. One was like Fu Shi and Chen Jia, with tan eyes that seemed very fierce. The other type was like the girl Shui Lan, with brown eyes, giving off a very gentle feeling.

Walking past a forest, numerous buildings started to appear before Shao Xuan’s eyes.

Because the ground was very wet, a lot of holes were filled with water. And so, there was an extra layer of foundation under the buildings, making the structures a lot sturdier.

In front of many houses, on the lower level of the stairs, were small crocodiles, climbing up to rest.
