As April comes to an end, the sea breeze becomes more moist and the weather becomes hotter. Zuwaro is suntanned, standing on the bow, looking out) The vast sea is endless, and the long journey back and forth, the familiar scenery also came into his eyes. Not far away, three long rivers came from the east, converged and parted, and flowed into the boundless West Sea. And a low and prosperous city-state appeared on the fertile soil interlaced by long rivers.

"Whoa! Praise the Lord God! Go north for four thousand miles, and turn back for three thousand miles. It took more than three months to travel seven thousand miles back and forth. The fleet finally returned to the land of the Tekos and reached the city of Three Rivers! And from here to To the southeast, after traveling a thousand miles, we returned to the coast of the kingdom, the mouth of the Tasas River. This shocking and long journey is finally coming to an end!..."

Thinking of this, Zuvaro sighed. As a Prepecha priest from Apa, in the past 20 years, the largest lake he has known is Lake Ato, which is more than 100 miles long. The longest road he ever walked was only more than 300 miles from Apa County to Qincongcan King's Capital to study at Shenwei University.

However, when he graduated from Shinway University in the capital with excellent grades, an order came from the chief minister, the sage Jiali. And this order itself comes from the will of His Highness. In various affairs of the kingdom, young priests who graduated from Shenwei University will always be given priority.

"Witness of the Lord God! Travel four thousand miles to the north, scout out information along the way, stay in familiar tribes, trade stones, dig for guano stones..."

The newly promoted priest Zuvalo, full of piety, embarked on a long journey to lead the merchant fleet and perfect the northern sea route. A vast world that he had never imagined suddenly came to him, walking towards him. But at this moment, after traveling through seven thousand miles of waves, his whole body has lost a lot of weight, and he has been sunburned into black charcoal, leaving only a pair of piercing eyes, always looking into the distance.

"O Supreme Lord God, thank you for protecting me!... What a vast land, what a boundless Northland, what a turbulent wave!"

Zuvaro prayed in a low voice, looking at the twenty double-hull canoes around him, the cargo on board, and the warriors and sailors with weather-beaten faces. Scenes of voyage memories flashed in his sea.

"Three months ago, I took thirty-four catamarans and more than four hundred warrior sailors, carrying gems, weapons and spices, and set off from the mouth of the Talsas River. We first arrived at the land of the Nantekos, Trade along the coast of the Fire River Plain. In recent years, the Koli tribes have surrendered to Lake China, and the trade between the two sides has been very frequent. A trading town has also risen along the coast, Kuyutlan (), which is "the fruit of the palm tree" Land", Zongshi Town. The area around Zongshi Town has already been infiltrated by long-distance people from the south of the kingdom. According to the tradition of the kingdom, long-distance merchants must shoulder the mission of collecting information..."

Zuwaro squinted and looked far to the southeast. Zongshi Town is on the seaside six or seven hundred miles away, and it is the first key town on the northbound trade route. And the second key town is Sanhe City where the fleet is located.

"At Three Rivers City, Tralee, a Tepanik merchant who surrendered to the king, took six or seven boats and seventy or eighty people, and separated from the brigade. His task was to present gifts and make friends with the great chieftains in Three Rivers City. Find out the detailed information of the various tribes of North Tess. Although this businessman lacks faith in the main god, he has many years of friendship with the various tribes of North Tess, and he is also very afraid of the kingdom and His Majesty, so there should be nothing wrong..."

Valo pondered for a while, thinking in his heart. Some great chiefs in Three Rivers City once planned to attack the kingdom's expedition fleet. One of the tasks of the merchant Tralee is to investigate the chieftains involved in the attack and seek refuge from other great chieftains. Before there is any reliable news, the merchant team led by him will go around Sanhe and replenish at a Tekos village dozens of miles away, where the leader is relatively good.

"Witness of the Lord God! When the army of the kingdom arrives, these tribes and chiefs who dare to offend will be sent to the sky one by one to meet the Lord God!"

Zuwaro held the yang talisman and prayed silently, secretly ruthless in his heart. He sent a small boat with several sailors to inform Tralee, a merchant in Three Rivers City. Then, the Kingdom's merchant fleet set sail again, passing through Sanhe City without entering.

"Fang Hang Road is cold after all. The Three Rivers City of Bei Teke people is the last city-state on the air route. After passing the land of Bei Tekos, write (this chapter is not finished!)

On the coast, six hundred miles to the northwest, there is a big river that flows into the sea. The estuary at a moderate location is the third important node on the route. The fleet can camp here, replenish fresh water, catch fish, and hunt some birds and beasts that come to drink..."

"However, when we reached the mouth of the river and set up camp, we encountered a fierce Huhol, the Teopan, on the banks of the great river with abundant prey."

Zuvaro looked north, his expression flickering. Ten days ago, we returned from the Yushan Village of the Totomei people and rowed continuously for more than 400 miles before stopping at Dakou for a rest. But no one expected that the Torpan tribe had just moved to the river mouth area, and the ancient and sacred Mitote ceremony (Mitote) was being held.

This inherited ceremony has an obvious wilderness atmosphere. The Thor tribe of more than a thousand people first migrated for dozens of days, and then hunted huge bison or groups of gray wolves. After obtaining the internal organs and skulls of these beasts, the tribe will follow the guidance of the priests of the wasteland to find a vast or towering place of divinity.

Then, the priests of the wilderness will offer sacrifices to the gods and the mother of the earth in the divine place, praying for their divine power to come. The warriors of the wilderness picked special cacti, sat against a nearby or rock, and ate cones that had hallucinatory effects. These tribal warriors will sit quietly with their eyes closed, whisper to themselves, try to communicate with the gods in their dreams, and get enlightenment from heaven and earth. As for the leader of the tribe, together with Araji, he will use the skull and blood of the beast to divination ~lightnovelpub.net~ to decide whether to settle here.

For the Huichol people who are uncertain, such a ceremony is very important, and it will last for several days to decide the migration, settlement, war, and even death of the tribe, and no outsiders should be disturbed. Around the place of the ceremony, the Thorpan Department sent many alert scouts, lurking in the mountains and forests, to ensure the progress of the ceremony.

When the kingdom's merchant fleet went north, it used to replenish fresh water here and investigate the surrounding situation. So when they came back from the south, they boarded the river bank with little defense, and camped to rest. And in the evening, when night falls, danger strikes. The merchant fleet camped on the shore was surrounded by hundreds of fierce Torpan fighters.

"Huh! It's really the Lord God's blessing! At that time, the spears of the two sides were facing each other's foreheads, and there was only a little difference, and I was going to the Kingdom of God!..."

Thinking of that evening with hidden murderous intentions, Zuvaro's forehead was dripping with sweat, and his heart beat a little faster. He shook his head vigorously, thinking about the Huiqiaoer's rebellion, he couldn't help but have doubts.

"It's really strange! Why does this tribe say..."
