Chapter 345 The Mysterious Key (2)
"Have you figured out anything about this key?" Si Ye sat down and picked up the firewood that Xia Tian hadn't chopped in the morning and continued chopping it.
"Ah, you should take a rest..." Xia Tian saw that Si Ye was really too busy to rest, and it was useless to persuade him. She could only give him a symbolic reminder, then shook her head silently and turned to talk about her own thoughts.
"I haven't come to a definite conclusion yet. And I'm not a half-orc, so it's hard for me to make any associations. I only have some guesses now, and I'll tell you about them. Maybe they can give you some clues."
Si Ye lowered his head to work, responded, and motioned for her to continue.
Xia Tian took out the "key" she had put away and brought it to Si Ye. "Here's what I was thinking. Since Uncle Tao said it was a key, I thought it was supposed to open some lock. This lock could be on a door, or it could be on a container like a box. Of course, there's also the possibility that it could be used to find someone and give it to them as a token of love... So, have you come up with any relevant information?"
She is not from this world, nor is she an orc. She has no idea how to study this key.
Therefore, she could only state some of her possible guesses, and then see if Si Ye would come up with any associations and get any useful clues.
After all, he grew up in this tribe and should be familiar with everything.
What the hell is this? I heard Uncle Tao passed away... It was so sudden, and it felt so eerily real, like it was real.
[This should be a script, right? Uncle Tao is such a good person. If he really passed away, I would be very sad... But what is this key?]
[Hahaha, that's a bit unreasonable. Isn't it the same whether Xia Xia said it or not?]
"No, I can't think of anything." Si Ye stopped what he was doing and shook his head. "What you mentioned... I can't think of anything related. Because our tribe didn't have its own territory for a long time, everyone was displaced at that time, and it's only in recent years that we have a fixed shelter. As for boxes, containers, or specific people, there are even fewer of them."
Seeing that Si Ye didn't seem very interested in the key's true purpose, Xia Tian chose to end the topic at the right time. "It's okay, we still have a lot of time. We can study it slowly when we have the chance. As long as we manage the tribe well, Uncle Tao will be comforted..."
"Xia Xia." As she was speaking, Si Ye suddenly interrupted her.
He raised his head and glanced at her, his tone was complex and difficult to read, "Xia Xia, how important is the Jintong tribe to you?"
"What?" Xia Tian didn't understand why Si Ye suddenly asked her this.
Moreover, she just noticed that the man's eyes just now, the emerald pupils had turned dark green, as deep as a knife, with an aggression she had never seen before, and... determination.
Why does he have such a look?
"Why are you asking me that... I mean, what do you want to do with the Kintong tribe?"
Xia Tian's mind turned around and she suddenly understood why Si Ye asked this.
He's not going to attack the tribe...
"Let me ask you, how important is the Jintong tribe to you?" Si Ye was still obsessed with this question.
"Jintong tribe..." Xia Tian hesitated to speak.
