Chapter 300: Instructions
In the wilderness of De, not too far from the coast, on the continent of 䜥, is the settlement of the Tupa tribe.
In the vast camp built of various simple huts, members of the Tupa tribe are bustling about. Like the camps of many Aboriginal tribes, the Tupa camp has a large sacrificial tent built on top of a small hill in the center. This is the important sacrificial site of the tribe and also the residence of the most honorable shaman in the tribe.
With a rather serious look on his face, Kapak walked quickly along the road leading to the sacrificial tent on the hill. After a while, he arrived at the door of the tent, where two figures were already waiting for him.
One of them was Kapak's teacher, Uta, the old shaman of the entire Tupa tribe. At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged on a seat at the door of the tent, with his flowery hair hanging down, and a robe with various hanging ornaments and tassels on his body. In his hand, he was holding a pipe in a very conventional manner, and the tobacco in the pipe was burning with sparks.
One of them was a young man who was about the same age as Capac, with messy black short hair and clothes made of animal skin and coarse cloth. He stood beside Uta with a slight bow, looking a little uneasy. Capac recognized him. His name was Kejia, and he was a member of the hunting team. Capac had worked with him when he was still a member of the hunting team, killing wild animals and invaders. However, after Capac became a tribal doctor and shaman apprentice, he had not seen him for a long time.
"Teacher Uta..."
Coming in front of Uta, Capac performed a tribal etiquette for him. Uta took a puff of the tobacco in his pipe, inhaled and exhaled the smoke, then nodded to Capac to stand up.
"Teacher Uta, you asked me to come here for Sadow's love? I heard that he is missing? What on earth is going on?"
With a serious tone, Kapak asked Uta, and Uta sighed and answered.
"Early this morning, the hunting team gathered as usual to go out hunting, but they couldn't wait for Saduo, the team leader. They went directly to Saduo's house and found it empty. They asked Saduo's neighbors and got the reply that Saduo had not appeared for two consecutive days. Three other members of the hunting team also disappeared with him, and those people were all very close to Saduo."
Holding the pipe in his hand, Uta spoke solemnly. Hearing Uta's words, Capak was slightly startled, then spoke with a frown.
"Including the four people in Saduo... have they been missing for more than two days? How could this happen? Where did they go?"
Listening to Kapak's words, Uta squeezed the pipe in his hand, then looked toward the distant horizon and spoke with a hint of worry in his tone.
"These guys...I'm afraid they have gone to the invading countries now."
"Invade the country of 䭹?!"
Listening to Uta's words, Capac showed an incredible look on his face. At this time, Uta casually pointed the pipe in his hand at Kega beside him, and then said.
"Sado has been trying to win over more people to join him these past few days. Many people in the special hunting team have secretly talked to him. Some of them followed him, but most did not. Among those who stayed, Kejia knows his situation best. Tell Capac everything you know in detail."
"Yes, Uta Shaman..."
Kaiga first responded respectfully to the shaman, then turned to look at Capak, and then spoke seriously.
"Doctor Capac, the situation is this. A few days ago, Captain Sadow came to me privately and took me here to talk to me about the invaders. He asked me if I hated the invaders and whether the occasional attacks were a relief.
"You all know my situation. I was once beaten by the invaders and my finances were stolen, so I hated the invaders very much. So my answer at that time was definitely not satisfying. After hearing that, Saduo left with satisfaction. After a period of time, Saduo came to me from time to time to talk more about the invaders.
"Sado always said that our occasional attacks on the invaders' patrols were just minor incidents, and they could not make them understand what pain was. They sent their soldiers to our land, robbed our land and killed our people. They stretched out their hands from afar to strangle our necks. No matter how we resisted, we only plucked a few hairs from their hands, leaving a small wound on them. For the invaders themselves, these injuries were nothing."
Recalling Kejia repeating Sadow's words, Kapak felt more and more uneasy as he listened to Kejia's words.
"So, Sadow told me that we need to truly hurt the invaders' bodies, so that they can feel the real pain, the same pain as us, or even deeper pain. He suggested that I go with him to the invaders' kingdom, to their hearts, and inflict real and unforgettable harm on the invaders, so that they will pay with blood."
Kaiga finished speaking and then fell silent. After listening to Kaiga's words, Kapak, with a sullen face, remained silent. He paused for a long while and then looked at Kaiga and slowly spoke.
"So, the current Sadow has gone to the country that invaded him for revenge? Then why didn't you follow him? He should have invited you."
"I... I was scared. Needless to say, this was a very dangerous mission. Invading their country for revenge was different from attacking their patrols. It was impossible to come back alive in a few days. So when I was sure of where Saduo's target was, I was scared. I fled the tribe on the day he announced the gathering and didn't come back until today."
Spreading out his hands, Kaiga said with a timid look on his face, while Kapak continued to speak seriously.
"Then why didn't you tell Mr. Uta at that time?"
"Of course, Sadoh was still alive at that time, and I was afraid that he would retaliate against me later! You also know how cruel that guy is when he beats people who disobey him! So I could only wait until he was far away before I dared to come... Uta Shaman, please understand my difficulties."
Kaiga said helplessly, while he was looking at Uta who was sitting cross-legged on a mat beside him. At this moment, he was smoking a cigarette and looking into the distance, then he spoke slowly.
"Sado's tribe was wiped out in a conflict with the invaders, and his relatives and many people he knew died at the hands of the invaders. I had foreseen that his deep hatred for the invaders might lead to some emotions, but I didn't expect him to be so radical. Saduo's actions were beyond my expectations. Kaiga... tell me the truth, has Saduo been in contact with some other people recently?"
Uta stared at Kaiga and said this. Kaiga looked flustered by Uta's glare, and then answered truthfully.
"Yes, recently when Saduo came to me and others to discuss things in secret, there was occasionally a man from another tribe with him. Saduo often asked him for some advice. Saduo called him Banu."
"Banu..."
