The Sword of the Spirit Hunter
CHAPTER 4 | Grandpa Shamo elders of the Desert Lizard Clan

Seeing the arrival of the lizard-headed people made Xiaozi's head grow dizzy from not understanding their language.

“ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ” said a big lizard who was like their leader

“ ⁇ ⁇ , ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ” said one of them while showing fruit in his hand.

“ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ !” said the big lizard again

Hearing their preaching, Xiaozi felt unnoticed by the lizard horde.

“Master, they're talking about you. They had no killing intent” whispered the sword in Xiaozi's ear

“You understand their words? What are they talking about” asked Xiaozi

“The woman said that you fell from the sky. And they say their elders have foretold your coming” said the sword

Xiaozi's face seriously listened to the explanation from his sword. He did not expect his sword to understand their language.

“Then the one carrying the fruit wants you to eat the fruit according to their elders” continued the sword

“What fruit is it? Is it toxic?” ask Xiaozi back

The fruit carried by a male lizard in his hand is similar to an apple but small in red. Seeing the fruit actually Xiaozi's stomach became hungry, but he felt hesitant to eat it.

“I don't understand about fruits. But I recognize poison. The fruit is non-toxic” sahut the sword again.

“Good. I will eat the fruit of them. It just so happened that I was starving” Xiaozi said taking the fruit from their hands and eating it.

When the fruit had been eaten, Xiaozi's stomach was hot, then spread to his head and made him feel a little dizzy.

“Not toxic stuff. My head is a little dizzy because of it” Xiaozi said irritatedly

“Are you okay?” suddenly he heard a word from the female lizard

Xiaozi's eyes widened when he could understand their language. He did not expect after eating the fruit he could understand the language of the lizards.

“Is this the effect of the fruit?” figured

“We must immediately invite him to meet with our elder” said one of the lizards

“But he doesn't understand our language” said the other lizard next to him

The lizard horde did not realize that Xiaozi had understood their language, so they were still talking about Xiaozi.

“Sorry, are you guys talking about me?” xiaozi asked which this time made all the lizards surprised to hear that they could speak their language.

Hearing Xiaozi's words, the lizard horde was shocked to learn that Xiaozi had understood their language.

“It turns out the elder was right, the fruit will make him understand our language” said one of the lizards that gave Xiaozi the fruit

“So right because of that fruit. Why did your elders help me?” ask Xiaozi

“Olds we want to talk to you. We are asked to invite you to come to the city of Lizard” said the leader of the group

Xiaozi was stunned to hear this, he did not understand why the lizard clan elder had invited him. However seeing the absence of any killing intent from them, Xiaozi decided to meet their elder.

“Good. I will follow you to meet him” Xiaozi said

They then drove Xiaozi to the city to meet their elders.

Kota Lizard is located outside the forest which is a desert area with buildings that are typical of the desert region made of compacted sand and wood from the forest.

Xiaozi was then invited to a rather large house in the middle of the city. Inside the house looks simple furniture in every corner of the house.

An old lizard-faced man with a long beard sat in the middle of the hall and stood with the help of his staff as soon as he saw Xiaozi being ushered in by the lizard.

“Grandfather, what do you want to see me?” xiaozi asked the old lizard man.

Out of curiosity, Xiaozi immediately asked the old man to invite him here.

“Sit down nak” said the old man while asking his servant to pour a drink on Xiaozi.

“What's your name, nak?” ask the old man.

“My name is Zhen Xiaozi cake. Call me Xiaozi” Xiaozi.

Xiaozi sat down in front of the old grandfather then introduced himself.

“Xiaozi, I am the elder of this desert lizard clan. My name is Shamo Yi. You can also call me Shamo” said the old man

“Greetings to Shamo”'s grandfather Xiaozi said

“I want to meet you. Because according to the prophecy I got, you will come to this world to save us from mala petaka” said Shamo's grandfather

Hearing the word prophecy, Xiaozi's eyes narrowed slightly he actually did not believe in the prophecy too much, but for the sake of appreciating the old man he just sat down to listen to him.

“Did I not hear the cake wrong? I am just a human being who does not have great strength. How can I save you from a calamity. Then mala calamity what does cake mean?” ask Xiaozi back

“I myself don't really know the details. All I see in my prophecy is your face falling from the sky in the forest. Then you are standing on a pool of blood of enemies from the desert lizard clan” said Shamo's grandfather

Xiaozi sighed hearing that, in his heart laughing at the prophecy that he thought made no sense at all.

“I? Kill your enemies? Don't joke cake. I might have lost to them if it was a fight” Xiaozi said honestly as he pointed at the leader of the desert lizard who had picked him up.

“I'm just a lazy and fun-loving person before. There's no way I'm fighting for life for someone else” Xiaozi said back honestly

Grandfather Shamo's eyes twitched at Xiaozi's evasive words and seemed to distrust his prophecy.

“I believe in my prophecy so much even though you don't believe it. We still welcome your arrival in this city” said Shamo's grandfather with a red face because he felt ashamed his prophecy was underestimated by Xiaozi.

“Zaim, escort mister Xiaozi to rest and serve him well” Shamo's grandfather orders Zaim, the leader of the desert lizard earlier.

Zaim was the leader of the lizard clan, who picked up Xiaozi along with several other lizard clans in the forest earlier.

“Okay elder, we will escort him to his place of rest” said Zaim with respect to Shamo's grandfather

“Thank you grandpa Shamo. I beg myself” Xiaozi said politely as he followed Zaim away from Shamo's grandfather's residence

Then Xiaozi followed Zaim behind him to go to the resting place they had provided for him.

“Grandfather, is he really the savior of our clan? It seems that she is not that strong” said the lizard lady who met Xiaozi the first time.

“Zizy, Do you also not trust my predictions?” shamo's grandfather turned towards the lizard woman with his face down.

The lizard lady called Zizy smiled nervously as she shook her head “No grandfather, that's not what I mean. I'm just not sure she's that strong”

“I've predicted a lot of things a long time ago. One time I couldn't foresee the fate of our desert lizard clan. Everything was empty as if our clan had vanished. I felt so scared when I got the prophecy about it” Shamo's grandfather told Zizy

“I have long been uneasy to eat and sleep thinking about the state of the desert lizard clan in the future. Every time I tell our people, I see emptiness again. Until a week ago I got the future prophecy of the desert lizard clan back. And it was started by the appearance of the shadow of the child standing on the pool of blood of our enemies” he continued

Zizy listened to Shamo's grandfather's explanation at length again, despite having heard of it before but he thought it might be because Shamo's grandfather was exhausted at the time.

Zizy had no idea how scared Shamo's grandfather was when he didn't see his own future and the people from the desert lizard clan at the time. Especially when unable to give an answer to those who asked the prophecy to him.

But everything returned to normal when last week he got a shadow about the arrival of Xiaozi who fell from the sky to this desert lizard city and killed their enemies.

“Zizy, please serve mister Xiaozi well. Don't let him be disappointed and leave our city before my prophecy happens” Shamo's grandfather told Zizy
