The chief's longhouse is filled with the fragrance of herbs. The campfire was bright and warm, but there was nothing choking about it. Looking carefully, there is a special flue designed in the wooden house, and the firewood has also been processed in advance. All this shows that the owner of the longhouse also possesses profound knowledge. This knowledge does not come from books and words, but from long-term practice and thinking, slowly thinking and summarizing, and has already become a part of instinct. inverse

"Dear tribal shaman..."

The knowledgeable Mickey was silent for a long time before calming down the ups and downs in his heart and facing up to the other party's identity as a wise shaman. The shaman chief Xuesong's sharp question hit the nail on the head, which surprised him very much. He guessed the beginning of the story, but he couldn't predict the development of the story, so he lost the initiative in the dialogue.

Le Tian, ​​the cloak hunter next to him, also showed surprise. He had never seen an amiable cedar shaman so aggressive. But soon, he realized the reason why the shaman did this.

"Brown bears in the forest will only growl when they feel threatened... Ancestors! The cedar shaman actually thinks that this longboat tribe that has just arrived, with only a few hundred people...is a threat that must be looked at directly?..."

Thinking of this, the cloak hunter Le Tian turned his head and stared at the knowledgeable Mickey. Mickey pursed his lips and hesitated for a while before deciding to tell everything frankly.

"Our fleet arrived here to follow the will of the Lord God and follow the guidance of the God-inspired person! And we have come here for two main purposes: one is to spread the belief of the Lord God, guide the northern tribes, and convert Under the banner of the Lord God! The second is the northward exploration, we have to continue northward, looking for another big bay, and the waterway to the new western world!..."

"And I personally came here, to the North Gulf, to build mutual trust with you, and even to become an ally sworn by blood! The fleet has traveled thousands of miles to the distant Jinwan, and there is indeed a shortage of food. If you are willing to trade , we can use the supplies on the ship to exchange for the food you store...and the gift I give you is a trade sample, and the price must be fair!"

Shaman chief Xuesong listened patiently, his eyes flashing in the firelight. He didn't ask the first question until Mickey the Knowledgeable had finished speaking.

"The tribes on the longboat, I want to ask, where are you from?"

"We come from the far south, in the south of the Yaqui, in the south of the wilderness...a land in a lake on a plateau, thousands of miles away from your tribe!"

"South of the Yaqir? South of the wilderness? That plateau...thousands of miles away..."

Hearing Mickey's answer, the shaman was absent-minded for a while. After a while, he squinted his eyes, looked at Mickey, and asked softly.

"The tribe on the longboat... When I was traveling in the south, I heard that there was an extremely powerful tribe on the plateau in the south, who worshiped tigers and eagles, and lived beside the lake... Is that your tribe?"

"Ah!"

The knowledgeable Mickey opened his mouth in surprise. It was the first time he had met someone who knew about the Mexica Alliance since he left Yomebe and went north. He looked into the sharp eyes of the cedar shaman, hesitated for a while, and then answered honestly.

"Wise shaman, you are talking about the Mexica Alliance, and we are the Kingdom of the Lake...that is, a vassal of the Mexica Alliance. I know that the human sacrifice of the Alliance is widely spread in the wasteland...but our fleet The next time I went north, I carried goodwill all the way! I swear in the name of the Lord God, we have no hostility towards the Miwok tribes!"

"Well, I believe you."

Hearing Mickey's words, the shaman chief Cedar nodded. But then, he spoke calmly again.

"But apart from you, I will not trust other people, nor will I trust your tribe. Because personal commitment does not represent the commitment of the tribe. A tribe will have many people, many leaders, and they, and Often fickle…”

"So, the second question, in this fleet, are you the biggest leader? After this fleet, will there be any fleets coming?"

"I..." Inverse

The knowledgeable Mickey pondered for a while before speaking again. He still told the truth, because lies are meaningless and it is difficult to deceive the other party. Only the establishment of mutual trust is the foundation of everything.

"I am the vice-captain of the fleet, the second leader. But the attitude towards Miwok's tribes is the same between me and the other leader, and there is no malice..."

"Our fleet is just the vanguard of the kingdom's exploration. Behind us, there will definitely be other fleets and other people. However, it may take several years for the next batch of people to appear. And when they arrive here, they will also Should obey our orders..."

"So, respected Cedar Shaman, you can trust my promise! At least, within four or five years..."

Hearing that the fleet had a follow-up, the shaman chief Xue Song lowered his head and looked at some glaring flames. Then, he took a poppy, chewed it in his mouth, and handed another piece to Mickey.

"Honest friend...Try Tribal Poppins...Chew it slowly, it will be a little sweet, and it will relax you..."

The knowledgeable Mickey raised his brows, stared at the water popsicle in his hand, and then at the cedar chief who was chewing, and then put the water popsicle in his mouth. He chewed it lightly, and the fresh sweetness came into his mouth, which lifted people's spirits. The two of them faced each other like this, chewing the flowers and plants like tobacco leaves, their faces relaxed. inverse

"Friends in the sea, you just said that the chief prophet and chief of the tribe foretold the land of Golden Bay, and you came here?"

"Yes! Your Majesty the Divine Enlightenment told us that there will be a wide bay that has never been seen before on the far north coast. And on the land near the bay, there will be golden mountains shining with gold. So, there... no, This is Jinwan!"

Speaking of His Majesty's prophecy, the wise man Mickey's eyes showed obvious fanaticism. He sincerely held the amulet around his neck and prayed loudly in front of the cedar shaman.

"Praise be to the supreme Lord God! Praise be to His Majesty inspired by God!..."

Seeing this, the shaman chief Xue Song raised his brows and lowered his eyes again. He was thinking silently in his heart, thinking about the piety of the southern tribes, and also thinking about the unknown and mysterious Chief Prophet.

"Well... to the east of our Miwok tribes, there is a stretch of mountains. In those mountains, there are indeed many golden stones and golden mountains. To be more precise, those are gold mines."

Shaman chief Xue Song asked with a calm face and a smile. inverse

"Friends from the sea, you followed the mysterious prophecy and found the land of the Golden Bay. So, you settled down here for the gold mines in the mountains?... When I was traveling in the southern tribes, I heard about it, and more The tribes in the south worship useless gold and precious stones. I can help you mine the gold in the mountains..."

"But I think, this cold northern land is nothing compared to the rich and fertile southern land, right? The hundreds of you should all be elite warriors in the tribe. After collecting the gold, you should be able to On the return trip, go to a place where you are needed more?..."

"No! Dear Cedar Shaman, I think, I must have not made it clear before!"

The knowledgeable Mickey paused, looked at the shaman chief Xuesong's increasingly sharp eyes, and responded word by word.

"We followed the prophecy and arrived here, not for the gold in the mountains. In fact, the kingdom has a lot of gold, and the alliance has more gold. And the other tribes along the way also have many gold mountains..."

"We came here, settled here, and we will not leave! We will farm here, store enough and more food. Then, the fleet will continue north, along the coast to the northwest, deep into the harsh ice and snow The coast, through the waves and storms, keep searching!  …”

"Until we travel thousands of miles and find the new continent that is predicted to exist!..." Ni

This time, the shaman chief Xue Song was silent for a long time. He stared at the face of the knowledgeable Mickey, the calm and sincere expression on the other side, and the unwavering faith in his eyes. After hearing that the fleet would not leave, there was some killing intent in his eyes at first, but the more he listened, the killing intent gradually disappeared.

After a while, he pursed his lips, looked at his old palm, and said with emotion.

"Honest friend... I'm afraid you don't know anything about the cruelty of the northern coast. It is the waters of the storm gods, and it is also a place shrouded in ice and snow disasters. There will be never-ending wind and waves, and there are perennial white snowfields... "

"Cold, sea tide, heavy fog, heavy snow, ice storm, desolation and hunger, endless loss... No matter how sharp your weapons~lightnovelpub.net~how strong your armor is, it is impossible to fight against nature and the great spirit!  … And if you keep heading north and west, your ending is destined to be swallowed by the white sea..."

"The Lord God's testimony! Before we went to sea, we had already made an oath to dedicate our lives to the Supreme Lord God!"

The knowledgeable Mickey gritted his teeth, gripped the amulet around his neck, held it up high, and declared decisively.

"Even if it is swallowed by the storm in the Northland, even if it freezes to death in the cold desert... our fleet will die on the way of exploration!"

"...I see! For the exploration of the north, you can give everything, including your life..."

Hearing this, the shaman chief Xue Song was moved and finally nodded slowly.

"Respectable friends... If your fleet really wants to go north... then, I can indeed give you more help. Food, guides, translators... and what you said, another ship in the far north On the big bay…”

"Huh? Another big bay? You... do you know where it is?"

"Well, I know. There are records in the inheritance of the tribe. I also traveled north, and heard a lot from the mouths of the northern tribes..."

Shaman Chief Cedar touched his chin, smiled, and sat in front of the campfire. At some point, his waist bent again. And looking at his smile at the moment, it seems that he has turned into an old fox again.

"Friends from a powerful tribe... I really admire your piety! I can give you a lot of help, and so can my tribe... Even, we can form an alliance with you, so that the Miwok tribe within hundreds of miles in the north, all Resupply the fleet..." Inverse

"Of course, I need some rewards... We need some rewards... And these rewards should not be difficult for you..."
