Soul echo

Chapter 84 Vitus

Lilian sat on the horseback, followed Zhong Ye into the valley, and slowly, her eyes widened.

--clang!

The breeze blew up the Zhanfeng Duo hanging on the corner of the cornice, and the bell made a crisp sound.

The black stone pillars supported the carved beams and paintings, and the brown wooden door was closed tightly. There were two stone walls on both sides of the door. Lilian couldn't see what was carved on the stone walls, but with the wooden signs hanging on both sides and above the door, there was no doubt that This is a Chinese-style building—in "Echo of the Soul", it is the Dongtu style.

However, how can there be "Eastern Earth Style" buildings here?

"The ancestral hall..."

Looking into the distance, Zhong Ye could clearly see the words engraved on several wooden plaques.

On the left and right are "everything is respectful, and morality is sweet", and the letter "Vitus's Ancestral Hall".

"You know?" The giant who brought Zhong Ye and the others into the valley was greatly surprised.

Zhong Ye sighed: "I am a native of Dongtu..."

"Dongtu..."

The giant suddenly realized, and then turned his head to look at the ancestral hall, "Actually, most of our Vitus giants have the blood of the Eastern natives, because our ancestors once rescued an Eastern native who was in trouble, and later that Eastern native and a member of our tribe The giantesses became husband and wife. I heard that back then, when India was not yet broken, people from the East often came to Vitus to do business with us, and some simply stayed in Vitus and taught us how to breed. Silkworms, silk weaving and farming, many of the silks on the Westland market now come from the hands of our giants."

Zhong Ye nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly asked, "Is there a way for you to go to Dongtu?"

"You want to go to the east?"

Seeing Zhong Ye nod his head, the giant sighed and said, "We have nothing to do... If possible, there should be many people who want to go to Dongtu to have a look, right?"

There was also longing in the giant's eyes, and he seemed to want to go to the east to have a look, to see what the prosperous land that had been passed down in the clan for a long time looked like.

Giants are a subspecies of humans, and their lifespan is not much longer than that of ordinary people. In terms of theoretical lifespan, giants are even shorter than humans.

It's just that human beings will get sick and injured, and their bodies are more fragile than giants, so that the actual lifespan is difficult to approach the theoretical lifespan, resulting in the illusion that "giants live longer than ordinary humans".

Hundreds of years are equally long for giants, so long that they have forgotten the appearance characteristics of an 'Eastern native', so the giant failed to recognize Zhong Ye as an Eastern native after seeing him.

After sighing for a while, the giant stepped forward again, leading Zhong Ye and the others to the depths of the valley.

The ancestral hall was built on a flattened mountain, located in the middle of the valley, so Zhong Ye and the others could see the building at first sight after entering the valley.

'Vitus' is a city built around the ancestral hall. This city covers a large area, and every building can shock Lilian, because it is too 'big'.

All buildings are scaled up. If Lilian were to dismount and walk, she might not be much higher than the threshold.

This is the kingdom of giants, Zhong Ye was already quite tall, but compared with the giants, he only reached the waist of the shortest adult giant.

"Qi, are they guests?"

On the street, all the giants were looking at the two 'villains' curiously. Vitus rarely had outsiders entering. Zhong Ye and Lilian knew that they were not mages at a glance. Looking carefully, they didn't look like demon hunters either. Therefore, the giants are very interested in their identities.

The name of the giant who brought Zhong Ye and the others into Vitus was 'Qi', and when he heard the question, he nodded, "Yes, this name is 'Zhong Ye', a combat master from the East, He wants to challenge us and I'm about to take him to the king."

As soon as this remark came out, the street boiled instantly.

'From the East', 'Master of Fighting', and 'Challenge', any of these three words can arouse their excitement, but now they appear in the same sentence, how can they make them unhappy and angry? Excited.

The giant who asked Qi widened his eyes, lowered his head, and looked at Zhong Ye carefully.

"Master, pardon my offense."

After contemplating it for a moment, the giant suddenly opened his mouth, then rushed forward with a stride, and swung his fist at Zhong Ye.

The other giants, including Qi, did not stop, but took a step back.

Qi stepped in front of the pack horse and stood in front of him, providing protection for Lilian and the pack horse.

However, Zhong Ye was not angry. Instead, seeing Lie Xinxie, he took a step forward and raised his left hand to grab the giant's fist.

However, just before the palm touched the face of the fist, the outstretched five fingers suddenly slid away, grabbed the giant's wrist, and pulled the heavy body over.

All this was beyond the giant's expectation. His fist should have landed on Zhong Ye, but after an instant, the attack and defense were out of place.

Lifting his right hand, he pushed out his palm, and the palm imprinted on the giant's chest, but did not cause him any harm.

"Oh!!"

Whether it was the giants watching or the audience in the live broadcast room, they all expressed their admiration.

In just two or three seconds, the battle was over, which was unexpected.

——The giant made a sudden move, thinking how powerful he was, but this is the result?

Zhong Ye clasped his fists subconsciously, "Accept!"

Then, even he himself was stunned.

This posture seems to have been integrated into his flesh and blood over time, becoming his instinct...

The giant who had just got up from the ground was stunned for a moment, and returned a fist hug salute to Zhong Ye in a confused but familiar way.

At this time, Qi stood up and waved his hand, "Everyone should leave, I will take them to see the king, and when the 'Duel Ceremony' starts, everyone can come and watch."

Although the giants were very curious about Zhong Ye, but in comparison, the 'Duel Ceremony' was more important.

The giants did not disperse, but got out of the way, stopped on both sides of the street, and watched Zhong Ye and the others go away.

Qi walked ahead and looked back at Zhong Ye curiously.

Although he saw that Zhong Ye was a 'battle master' at the exit of the gorge, he did not expect that Zhong Ye was not only highly skilled, but also quite powerful.

-The strength of their giants is not something that 'mortals' can bear.

"Your Excellency Zhong Ye, since you want to experience our Vitus' martial skills, then you should be clear that our Vitus' martial skills need weapons to cooperate, if it's just an empty-handed fight..."

Before Qi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhong Ye: "It's only natural to be injured because of the fight!"

Seeing his serious expression, Qi closed his mouth and stopped trying to dissuade him.

The giant led Zhong Ye to the center of the valley, where Vitus' king of giants lived at the foot of the nameless mountain that carried the ancestral hall.

Compared with the other houses in Vitus, the 'mansion' where the giant king lives does not look very luxurious, because the giants are rich in skilled craftsmen, and they can decorate their own houses and build them quite beautifully.

The giant king's 'mansion' is already an old building hundreds of years ago. Although it has a charm left over from time and time, it also feels a bit behind the times.

When he came to the gate of the mansion, Qi explained to Zhong Ye and the others: "This mansion was left by our ancestor of the Dongtu people who was rescued back then. He married the most beautiful giantess in Vitus at that time. , that is, the patriarch of Vitus at that time, and since then, the architectural style of Vitus has changed."

Qi walked up and knocked on the door of the mansion, and it didn't take long for the door to be opened.

A giantess poked her head over for a few glances, and couldn't help but be surprised when she saw Zhong Ye and the others behind Qi.

Since Qi brought them to the mansion, that is to say...

"Are they... challenging us?" asked the giantess.

Qi nodded earnestly, "Yes, Li, hurry up and tell the king that a battle master is visiting and wants to challenge us."

The giantess nodded, opened the door, and walked back first.

Qi led Zhong Ye and the others into the mansion, bypassed Zhaobi, and came to the main hall of the mansion.

The giant king didn't let them wait too long, and the voice came before anyone arrived: "Welcome to you, respected battle master!"
