Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Bölüm 177: Çayır kabileleri

Çeviren: Joycelyn

Bin Maskeli kabilesinin intikamını aldığı kanlı yol nedeniyle seyahat ekibi, yola çıkana kadar uzun süre bu konuyu konuştu ve o zaman bile durmadı. They had even started talking about similar events that had happened in recent years, giving Shao Xuan new information.

In addition to the Thousand Masks tribe, there were still a few other tribes mentioned by the ancestors on the beast skin scrolls.

With the new news Shao Xuan had acquired, he had noted them all down on a beast skin scroll, which he kept carefully hidden. Those were all to be brought back to the Flaming Horns tribe.

If the Flaming Horns tribe returned, would they still be able to go back to their glorious self of the long-gone past?

Shao Xuan o günün gerçekleşmesini sabırsızlıkla bekliyordu.

Shao Xuan and Yu did not mention to anybody about their meeting with the man from the Thousand Masks tribe. The group traveled for another two days on the river before abandoning their rafts to walk. The road ahead was not suitable to continue using them anymore. Although there were some streams, it was not faster than walking. They still had to walk up high lands on the road ahead.

Önlerindeki alan daha yüksek bir araziye sahipti. It was said that in those lands there were grasslands that nobody could see the end of, and immeasurably high snowy mountains.

It sounded like the hunting area of the Flaming Horns tribe.

The grasslands were huge, with big and small tribes distributed all over the place. Çoğu zaman kabile savaşları çıkıyordu, bu nedenle seyahat ekibi doğal olarak otlakların çok derinlerine ayak basmıyordu ve kesinlikle kabile savaşlarıyla ilgili meselelerin arasında kalmak istemiyordu. They were just passing by the grasslands, and on the way trading a few stuff.

During that season, the grasslands were still green.

Walking along the river and stepping into the grasslands, Shao Xuan looked around.

Gökyüzü yüksekti ve hava güzeldi. There were some unknown little flowers blooming in the fresh green grass, bringing along a faint scent.

When looking ahead, the grasslands stretched beyond the horizon.

Shao Xuan'ın yanındaki dereler ve çayırlara giren dereler dışında, bakılan her yere dağılmış, mavi gökyüzünü yansıtan birçok küçük göl vardı.

Among them, there was also an even narrower river stream intersecting through the big and small lakes, its water clear. When one walked over, they could even see small fish swimming at very high speeds in it.

“This is the grassland. If we continue moving forward, we would enter the Feng tribe.” An old and experienced traveler on the side told Shao Xuan.

The Feng tribe was one of the tribes on the grasslands, and the travel team just happened to need to pass through the Feng tribe. The Feng tribe and the travel team were on good terms. They had been taking that route for many years, and both sides were able to understand each other well enough.

Feng kabilesinin insanları için, seyahat ekibindekilerin ait olduğu kabileler gerçekten uzaktı, bu yüzden bölgelerini ele geçirme sorunu yoktu. Ayrıca gezi ekibi her geçişinde, kendi kabilelerinin uzmanlık alanlarını ortaya çıkarıp gezi ekiplerinin halkından istedikleri eşyalarla takas ediyorlardı.

Many people in the tribe liked those kind of trades. Without leaving the comfort of their own tribe, they could exchange some things they thought were rare. Kolaydı ve onları beladan kurtardı.

Seyahat ekibindeki insanlara gelince, o geniş çayırlık alanda Feng kabilesinin koruması altında ticaret yapabilmek bir kazan-kazan durumuydu. They wouldn’t even mind taking a slight step back during the trades.

“Where are the people of the Feng tribe? I don’t see them.” Shao Xuan looked around in all directions and asked.

"Buraya çok uzak olmayan bir yerde yaşıyorlar ama burası da onların etki alanı içinde. Bazen bölgeye devriye gezmek için izci gönderiyorlar. Biraz daha yürüdükten sonra muhtemelen devriye ekipleriyle tanışabilirsiniz." Yanındaki adam cevap verdi.

"Feng kabilesinin toprakları çok büyük!" Yu'nun nefesi kesildi.
“This is considered big? If you see the really big tribes in this grassland, wouldn’t your eyes pop out?” Yanındaki adam kıkırdadı, "Burada birçok kabile hayvan besliyor, inek, koyun, at gibi. Onlar da avlanıyorlar ama buradaki av fazla değil. Bu nedenle çoğu zaman yetiştirdikleri hayvanları yiyorlar. Ve bu hayvanların sadece ot yemesi gerekiyor. Çayırlardaki çimenler sadece bu hayvanlar içindir. Yeterince ot olmasaydı hayatta kalamazlardı."

Without breeding animals, there wouldn’t be any food. After listening to that person’s explanation, Yu nodded his head. This place was mostly all grasslands without any dense forests, so the beasts weren’t many. In the Pu tribe, even if the travel team didn’t bring anything back, they could at least go to the surrounding forest to look for food.

Shao Xuan dinlerken kükreyen sesler duydu. The ground below his feet also started shaking violently.

"Bir şey geliyor."

“Don’t worry, they are the patrol team of the Feng tribe.”

“Yeah, do you guys know that many warriors on the grasslands ride horses?”

"Atlar mı?" Yu had eaten horse meat, but had never rode on one before.

Shao Xuan and the rest turned towards the origin of the thunderous sound.

There was a large protruding mound over there, fully covered with green grass.

After the roaring sounds stopped, on the place where the mound and the sky met, a large number of silhouettes appeared. Many more followed not long after, quickly entering the sights of the spectators.

The patrol team had around ten to twenty people scouting around. Ancak bazen büyük gruplar halinde hareket ediyorlardı. And the incoming people were not necessarily all of the patrol team. Çoğu kabilenin diğer üyeleriydi. They would not constantly stay put and occasionally ride horses when they had the time, becoming the team now galloping through the grasslands.

Yeşil tepeden gezi ekiplerine doğru dörtnala koşan yüzlerce kişi, görkemli bir atmosferi de beraberinde getiriyordu.

The group of horsemen slowed their speed down when they got close to the travel team. Midst screams and shouts, the horses gradually came to a stop, surrounding the travel team.

Seyahat ekibinin çeşitli liderleri, devriye ekibinin liderini tanıdı, yüzlerine sıcak gülümsemeler koydu ve onu karşılamak için ileri doğru yürüdü ve sohbet etmeye başladı. They also smoothly gave them some items that were rarely seen in the grasslands.

Feng kabilesinin lideri olan adam hediyeleri aldı ve şöyle dedi: "Kabilemizin insanları bekliyordu, birkaç gün önce hâlâ senin ne zaman geleceğini soran kişiler vardı. Bugün nihayet tekrar buluştuk."

Seeing the travel team, the people of the Feng tribe were very excited, too. Hatta bazıları ticari eşyaları hazırlayabilmek için hemen geri dönmeleri için bağırırken, bazıları da seyahat ekibini takip etmek için atlarının hızını ayarlıyordu. While walking towards their tribe, they also started inquiring whether they had any fresh items for trade within the travel team. Some young ones had even started conversing with Yu. They were very interested in the frog poison he had brought, and even wanted him to teach them how to use those poisoned thorns.

Shao Xuan, too, had spoken a few words to the leader of the Feng tribe patrol team regarding the matter of Chacha.

The leader of the patrol team, named Yi Bei, looked towards the eagle soaring in the sky, then gave his agreement for it to stay in their lands.

Pu kabilesindeki gibi kuş korkusu yoktu. Yi Bei and the rest did not reject such an enormous eagle. They only wanted it to not kill any of their tribe’s livestock. They were even pleased to let Chacha fly around in the sky in their tribe.

Many birds had been stealing their livestocks everyday, but the Feng tribe did not have any domestic eagles to use for protection. Normalde bazı insan taktiklerini kullanırlardı. Yi Bei bu sefer seyahat ekibinin yanında devasa bir kartal getirecek birisinin olmasını beklemiyordu, bu yüzden Shao Xuan'a karşı büyük bir coşku göstermişti.
Shao Xuan ve Pu kabilesinin insanlarının birbirine yakın yürüdüğünü ve birbirlerine oldukça aşina olduklarını gören Yi Bei, gözlerinin etrafında herhangi bir resim olmamasına rağmen kendisinin de Pu kabilesinin bir üyesi olduğunu düşünmüştü. The Feng tribe did not have much curiosity towards other tribes, there were also people like that previously. When they got to know them well enough, they had also not felt any freshness anymore. Sonuçta sadece geçip gidiyorlardı.

Seyahat ekibinin içinde, ayrılmadan önce geçici olarak gözlerinin etrafındaki resimleri temizleyen Pu kabilesinin bazı üyeleri de vardı. That had somehow made Shao Xuan not too eye-catching.

The travel team and the people of the Feng tribe headed towards the Feng tribe’s base together. It had already become dark, so the travel team could not leave right after trading. After walking this far, they had to take the chance and stay at the Feng tribe for about two days to rest. A little after crossing the grasslands and they would already be entering the central tribes. O zaman dinlenmeleri mümkün olmazdı.

The sight of the grasslands was unimaginably vast. One could hear people singing, and at the river and lakes, there were children playing and fishing. Around the area were all the adults and children riding horses. The impression they gave was that of a peaceful tribe, one you would not even think would battle with another tribe.

A little while back, Shao Xuan had noticed the houses made of beast skin, grass, and wood. Among them were some that even looked like tents.

“Tonight you can rest here. These are all yours.” Yi Bei said and pointed towards the row of simple wooden houses.

There may have been many wooden houses, but the people of the travel team were even more. Tekrar bir araya gelmek zorunda kaldılar.

Shao Xuan, Yu and the rest went into the houses and tidied up a bit. After that, Shao Xuan looked out from the window, taking in the sights of the Feng tribe.

There was a wooden fence surrounding some weird-looking cattle and sheep. They were probably this area’s special kind of domesticated animals, different from the cattle and sheep Shao Xuan had seen before. Further in the distance, there were also people directing the herd of cattle and sheep back.

“Oh yeah, didn’t you say that the tribes in the grasslands also accept wanderers? Where do they all live?” Shao Xuan turned towards the few experienced travelers at the side and asked.

"Gezginler burada yaşamıyor, bu sadece Feng kabilesinin üyeleri için geçerli. Konukların bir kısmı da burada yaşıyor ama onun dışında gezginler gibi insanlar her tarafta." İçlerinden biri ilerideki bir yeri işaret ederek cevap verdi.

Shao Xuan looked towards the area the guy had pointed to. There were a few protruding mounds over there, and on the other side lived the wanderers.

Although the people of Feng tribe asked the wanderers to help out and gave out small rewards, they were still cautious against them in general.

Over the mounds, Shao Xuan could also see some mountains that were not too high. The peaks were covered in green and there weren’t a great many trees, mostly just grass and stones.

Further past that, he could hazily see some white spots resembling mountains. Beyond that were the territories of other tribes.

Hearing that the travel team had arrived, many from the Feng tribe brought over some of their items, hoping to trade with the travel team. Shao Xuan'ın başlangıçta ticaret yapma planı yoktu. On his way here he had hunted a bull, and he still had not eaten most of the roasted meat. He had also wanted to save the rest of his water moonstones when he reached the central tribes.

But when he was bored on the rafts, he would use some beasts’ bones or horns to carve out some stuff. Ellerinde iki kemik bıçağı ve vahşi hayvanlara benzeyecek şekilde oyulmuş çeşitli kemik süsleri vardı ve bunlar orta yaşlı bir adamla bir koyun bacağı karşılığında takas edildi. That man had liked his carvings, and had thought of exchanging it for his kids back home.

When the day had slowly darkened, the people who came to trade became lesser. The travel team had also went back to rest after having their meal.

Looking at the black sky, Shao Xuan decided to go over to the area where the wanderers lived, to take a look. He had a feeling he would find more of his fellow tribesmen there.
