Unexpectedly, the strange man on the other side of the bridge also discovered the exploration team, but he didn't run away like the barbarians. Instead, he stayed in place and waved at the crowd.
Now that things had developed to this point, no one knew what to do.
However, as the organizer, Philip had to stand up and wave at the other side to show goodwill.
The strange man spoke to Philip in an unfamiliar language.
He spoke in a gibberish.
No one understood what he was saying.
Silver Spoon the Wise, who knew sixteen languages and seven languages in the Eden Legion and was known as the memory bank, listened for a long time and shook his head at everyone with a bitter smile. "I'm sorry, this is not any language I've heard before!"
God's Eye Pastor Byrd and Mad Scientist Parsons were language geniuses, but they also didn't understand the strange man's language.
"Hey, do you know how to speak English or French?" James couldn't stand the incoherence.
"The CIA is really naive. Do you expect a human from another world to know how to speak English? I didn't know that English was so influential to give you such confidence. James, just let him speak with a cowboy accent! " Bear Zhao Daniu laughed. Even James' companions didn't think that the strange man on the other side of the bridge knew how to speak English.
"The problem now isn't communication, but an urgent decision." Philip's face darkened. "We've explored many times, but we've never found humans or human-like creatures. I don't know if there's only one strange man on the other side. Maybe there's a group, a larger group than us. We don't know if they have good or bad intentions. Should we continue to communicate with them to understand the situation in the underground world, or should we immediately turn back and leave the underground world? Now, let's have a discussion. Should we stay and find out the truth, or should we return immediately for safety reasons? Please hurry up and raise your hands for a vote … "
After a round of discussion.
A small number of mercenaries weakly suggested that they return.
Most of them felt that they should stay and find out the truth of the underground world.
As for how many barbarians there were, it wasn't within their consideration because they only saw one.
"Stay here. We'll capture that barbarian. Perhaps we'll be able to learn more things from him." Reynold, Thomas, and the other leaders discussed in whispers. In the end, they decided to stay and continue the adventure.
While the exploration team was discussing whether to continue, the underground barbarian left.
Not a single minute.
When Monster Ness prepared a small anchor and was about to throw the rope over to the other side of the broken bridge, a stone with a thick rope tied to it was thrown at the exploration team from the other side.
At first, the mercenaries thought it was an attack and hurriedly dodged. When the stones rolled on the bridge, people realized that it was the work of the underground savage. He actually wanted to help the exploration team cross the bridge. Moreover, from the way he made the thick line, it was obvious that he was not a real savage.
Brother Pierre drew the thick thread, which was fastened to the stone, to a distance of nearly thirty metres, and tied the end of the thread with a thicker rope.
Then, he collected all the ropes.
Behind it was a leather rope that was as thick as a pinky finger.
"I'll go over. Even if the other side is cut off, I can still return safely!" Vice Leader Hugo expressed his willingness to be the first to pass through the rope, giving everyone a good start. If he were to cross the other side and that strange person had ill intentions and launched an attack, he would have enough strength to protect himself. Arius, the flag bearer of the Eden Legion, had the same idea. However, Hugo was one step ahead, so everyone was more inclined to the vice leader who was good at both offense and defense.
"Wait …" The sharp-eyed Amanda suddenly pointed to the other side of the bridge and shouted, "He's coming over!"
The strange man did not wait for the exploration team to pass. Instead, he walked calmly on the rope.
Step by step, he walked towards them.
When he was about 20 meters away from the broken bridge, everyone could almost see his face clearly. When he was about 20 meters away from the broken bridge, everyone could see this strange man clearly at a glance.
He looked a bit like the Indo-Europeans with a high nose and deep eyes. His hair color should be golden, but it was dull and yellow due to the severe lack of sunlight.
From the physique, the strange man was very strong. Although he was not tall, his shoulders and chest were as thick as a city wall.
The muscles on his thick arms were bulging.
They were full of explosive power.
From the way he was dressed, it looked a bit like medieval attire.
The old nail armor was full of oil. A two-handed sword was tied to the right side of the wide leather belt, and a long dagger was on the other side.
On his shoulder, a black short bow was exposed, but there were no arrows. Perhaps it had been used up in the previous hunting, or perhaps it was lost, because no one found his quiver and luggage.
The strange man did not seem to have any malicious intentions. He raised his hands and stood by the broken bridge for a long time until he showed everyone that he came with good intentions. Only then did he continue to approach the exploration team. As he walked, he switched from one language to another, and the mercenaries felt dizzy at the first few words he uttered, but at the last one, Jehan the Silver Spoon the Wise exclaimed, "Is that Latin? My God, did I hear it wrong? Can you say it again? "
"It's Latin. Although there are some differences, it's Latin!" Bord also nodded. "He's saying 'all glory to God'. This is Latin!"
"All glory to God! It's a pleasure to see you, my child. I'm the Patriarch of Earth, a faithful believer of the Kingdom of Eden, a follower of the Pope, Cardinal Nero. What can I do for you? "Cardinal Nero, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up and made the sign of the cross.
When the strange man heard this, he happily talked to him in Latin.
Lin Dong was speechless.
He couldn't understand what the other party was saying at all. Fortunately, he still had the Sound Insight Spell, which could vaguely capture some information.
Fox acted as the female translator and directly flipped it over, but her Chinese was far less fluent than Enoko Kazama's, and the job of translation was taken over by the leech girl in less than half a minute. "Lord Lin Dong, that man said that his ancestors also came from our world! But it's been a long time, maybe a thousand years, maybe eight hundred years. He said that there was a historical gap in the middle, and the glory of the ancestors has disappeared … "
"That strange man said that this is the periphery of Purgatory!" Fox added. "He said that this is a chaotic and terrible place!"
"Purgatory?" Lin Dong was stunned.
"It's not the Purgatory in the Bible, but a terrible place like Purgatory. Because it's chaotic and cruel, the people here call it Purgatory! Nero asked him if there were any human settlements here, and the strange man said that there was a city hundreds of kilometers away from here, developed by a powerful ruler, but he wasn't qualified to live there. His hometown is a small village, or a camp, dozens of kilometers away from here! Then Bord asked him how many people there were in the camp, and the answer was two to three hundred, but not all of them were humans, there were also mutants and humanoids … Lord Lin Dong, he didn't explain mutants and humanoids! "Enoko Kazama quickly and accurately translated for Lin Dong.
"Jacques asked him if he knew anything about Hell or Heaven." Fox did not want to be left behind.
"That guy didn't answer. Maybe he has never heard of Heaven!" Griffon, who was a hardcore fan, suddenly said.
"He said that Purgatory is infinitely big, and no one has ever been able to explore the whole Purgatory World. Even the lords who built cities in Purgatory don't know how big Purgatory is! He also said that there is no country in Purgatory, and all the races live together, with the biggest ruler being the lord! " Enoko Kazama continued to translate, and suddenly she exclaimed, "Wait, he said that there are other worlds … Oh my god, he said that there are exploration teams like us in other worlds, and some of them are very barbaric, they rob all lives as slaves, and abuse their lives for experiments … He asked if we are knights, he thinks that we have the strength of the knights in Purgatory!"
"Ask the barbaric races that rob lives!" Lin Dong finally heard some information, and sure enough, it was just as he had guessed.
"Mr. Philip asked, but the strange man's answer was that there are many races that are very barbaric, and the languages he shouted out just now were to test us. It seems that we are already considered to be a relatively gentle race!" Enoko Kazama was a little speechless herself. A race as greedy as humans could be considered gentle? How unexpected!
"Ask him if there are any creatures like vampires or werewolves in Purgatory!" Lin Dong asked another question.
"Lord God, I will help you ask!" Griffon volunteered.
His deliberate flattery made Fox speechless.
It was already bad enough that there was Enoko Kazama to compete with him, and now he was here to add to the mess!
The Gryphon went up and mumbled for a while before returning excitedly. He reported to Lin Dong in a loud voice, "He said that there are no werewolves or vampires in Purgatory, but there is one in the Magus World. In Purgatory, we often hear news of terrifying Magi bringing their controlled creatures to plunder various camps!"
Lin Dong heard an important term.
Magi?
Damn, compared to Magi, werewolves and vampires are not important at all!
Not only Lin Dong was interested, but even Reynold and the others were shocked. After some discussion, the exploration team found out part of the truth about Purgatory.
It was not known how big this place called Purgatory was, but it was so vast that no one could record it. This place was like a broken sieve, and there were always people from different worlds coming in. There were humans and non-humans, and there were all kinds of races, and there were even more barbaric ones. For example, the Magi mentioned before were a terrifying race that regarded life as nothing.
Magi often entered Purgatory to plunder all kinds of resources.
Most importantly, the most powerful Magi liked to use all kinds of methods to invade or control other people's worlds. There were a few lords in Purgatory that were this kind of terrifying and transcendent existence.
"He said that Magi are very scary. Not just Magi, even Sorcerer-Apprentices without the strength of a Knight will die if they meet them! Magi need a Grand Knight or an even more powerful life form to deal with them. Also, Magi are organized, and killing one will easily lead to cruel and bloody revenge! He said that he's never seen a wizard before, but he's heard that wizards can cast spells. They can shoot terrifying death rays or control scary puppets! "Fuuma Shiko was a little suspicious at this point. Had he never seen a wizard before? Could it be a rumor purposely made up to scare people to make it easier to rule?
"Ask him if there is sunlight in Purgatory." This was the last question Lin Dong wanted to ask.
"He said that there has never been sunlight in Purgatory. He has only heard about sunlight from other people, but he has never seen it!" Fox went over to ask. After getting the answer, Lin Dong's face showed a sunny smile. "Okay, things are almost clear. Let's enjoy this wonderful trip to Purgatory!"
"Catch a flying dragon and take it back to study it, then catch its head and let it guard the door!" Griffon had a lofty dream, and that was to become a Dragon Knight.
"Catching a flying dragon is not as good as catching a wizard. If a wizard has a treasure on him, wouldn't it be more valuable?" Don Quixote thought that his imagination could be more exaggerated.
"Idiot, Magi are so scary and insidious, it's better not to meet them!" Griffon did not want to deal with creatures like Magi.
"That's fake, how can there be a real Magus!" Pan Sha laughed.
"We have never seen a Magus, so it is indeed suspicious …" Jonathan and Remiga also did not believe it.
"If there is, then we can really catch one." Lin Dong felt that it was not necessary to cut it into pieces and study it, but if he could get more information, it would be very exciting to invade the Magus World and plunder other people's treasures!
