There is already some coolness in the sea breeze in September, which indicates that the cold winter is approaching. The five longships continued to move forward until sunset, when they sailed thirty miles and stopped on the shore full of redwood trees.悾

"Praise the merciful Lord God! Leave one guide for each ship, and bring the others!"

The knowledgeable Mickey stood on the beach with a gentle expression, watching more than a dozen captured leaf hunters. With a friendly smile on his face, he picked up a wood-carved talisman of the main **** in his hand, and tried to lure the hunters in front of him.

"Come! Read it with me! Praise the Lord God! Vizilopochtli!  …"

"..."

Hunter Tolowa gritted his teeth, staring at Mickey fiercely. He seemed to be trying to endure, so he didn't "spit".

"Ha ha!..."

Hearing the laughter, Mickey the Knowledgeable's smile faltered. He turned around and saw Zuvaro laughing out loud.悾

"Cough! Mickey, I think otherwise... just engrave a tattoo symbol of the main **** on everyone's body! Why do you need to guide them one by one? Even if they say a word of the name of the god, they are far away from conversion..."

"Zouaro, shut up!"

The knowledgeable Mickey gritted his teeth and gave Zuvaro a hard look. Afterwards, he calmed down, raised his friendly smile again, and looked at the next captive hunter.

"Come on! Say a word of God's name. After you finish reading, wear the talisman of the Lord God, and you can return to the tribe..."

"..."

The second hunter looked vigilant and bewildered, completely unable to understand what the longship chief said. He carefully looked at the amulet in Mickey's hand, staring at the sun hummingbird engraved on it, as if it was some kind of shamanic artifact that could **** away souls.

"Uh..." 悾

The knowledgeable Mickey scratched his head, then looked at Towu, the interpreter on board, and asked in a deep voice.

"Tou! These tribal hunters, although they belong to the Yecao tribe, are also your clan... The fleet wants to let them go, you can help translate it!..."

Hunter Tuo Wu tightened his lips, his face changed. He hesitated and struggled for a long time between the tribal hatred, before he walked in front of the wise man Mickey and shouted a few words to the captives. Afterwards, the expressions on the faces of the captives changed immediately, most of them were unbelievable, while a few showed expectation.

"Come! Read with me! Praise the Lord God!  …"

The well-informed Mickey smiled, walked up to a young prisoner with bright eyes again, and said in a deep voice.

"Vizilopochtli!"

"...Feed...the radish..." 悾

The captured leaf grass hunter blinked his eyes, and hesitantly called out the god's name.

"Strange?"

"Okay! That's great! The Lord God blesses you! Read it very accurately!"

The knowledgeable Mickey smiled brightly, and put the talisman of the main **** in his hand on the young captive's neck with his own hands. Then he untied the rope from the young captive's wrist, brought another acorn cake, and stuffed it into his hand.

"Okay! Wear the emblem of the main god! You can return to your tribe!"

Care and suspicion appeared on the face of the young prisoner. He took two steps cautiously, looked back, and then took two steps, as if he was a tempting squirrel. His eyes fell on the big bows held by the longboat warriors, and he looked at them carefully for a while, then suddenly with a vertical leap, he changed from a squirrel to a galloping grass rabbit.

"Huh?"

The knowledgeable Mickey opened his eyes wide, watching the young captive jump into the forest like flying, and quickly hide behind the big tree. Then, he waited for a while, and saw that no one in the fleet was moving, so he showed half of his head and yelled.

"\'Anaan Haa! Sh\'aa! Cheewya!  …"

"Eh? Tow, what's he calling?"

The hunter Tuo Wu's eyes changed, and he looked at the leaf and grass hunters in the forest for a while before answering in a low voice.

"He said that his name is Fengcao, and he is an outstanding hunter like the wind in the leaf grass department. One day, he will meet you again!"

"Hunter Fengcao? It's a good name."

The knowledgeable Mickey touched his chin, and said something to himself with a smile.悾

"Okay! The Lord God witnesses everything! Then see you later!..."

With the first demonstration, the next steps are much faster. More than a dozen captive hunters all recited the name of the god, put on the amulet of the main god, each took a piece of acorn cake, and were released immediately. The captives had complex eyes, standing in the redwood forest along the coast, watching the five longships heading north again and disappearing into the drowsy night under the last sunset. During this long day, they experienced battles and captures, captures and releases, and from then on they knew the name of the Lord God... And this is an unpredictable fate, no matter whether you believe it or not, you don't know where it will go.

The fleet continued to move forward, rowed 150 miles north, and then arrived at another large tribe of Tuolova with two to three thousand people, the Intermountain Department. The Tolowa tribe here did not fight for a long time like their southern counterparts, and their attitude towards foreign tribes was not so hostile.

Although the mountain pine chief in the inter-mountain department was indifferent, with the translator of the hunter Tou, he still traded more than 200 people for ten days' food with the kingdom's fleet from afar. After the fleet replenished its food and fresh water, it went to sea again without staying in the territory of the Tuolova people.

From the intermountain to the north, along the steep coast for more than two hundred miles, they came to the territory of the Coos. Here the high eastern mountains leveled off into low hills and finally into plains of grass and reeds. However, this does not mean that the surrounding land is richer and has more tribes. On the contrary, the fleet saw fewer and fewer villages, and the size of the tribe became smaller and smaller!

"The colder the north...there are no mountains to block the cold wave, no shelter from the valleys...it will be difficult for these tribesmen in the north to form a large tribe!"

The knowledgeable Mickey looked into the distance, looking at the empty and desolate reed swamp along the coast, his expression gradually became dignified. He already smelled the cold, in the autumn wind blowing from the north to the south.悾

"Mickey! North! North! There's a new harbor in the North! Big!  …"

The exploration captain Zuvaro looked into the distance and shouted excitedly for a while. But when the fleet approached, his excited shout suddenly became lower again.

"Uh...Okay! The bay can see the edge...It doesn't look that big! Haha!"

Zuvaro sneered, waved his hand, and pointed to the mouth of the bay to the east.

"Come in! Go east! Let's go deep into the bay and check it out!... Isn't this the territory of the Kuss? Keep your eyes open and see where their villages are!"

Five longships turned east ~lightnovelpub.net~ and sailed into the mouth of the bay five or six miles wide. Then, a deep and wide lagoon harbor slowly unfolded in front of the fleet. Everyone measured the water level and confirmed that this is another good deep-water port. Then to the east, the fishing boats of the Quss people also appeared in front of the fleet.

"Okay! Go up! Go up! Hey! Are they retreating? Are they avoiding us?"

The exploration captain Zuwaro pondered for a while, then said with a smile.

"Then slow down, follow, and find their village!"

"Then, we'll..."

The knowledgeable Mickey stared at him with wide eyes.

"Zouaro?"

"Haha! Lord God bless! They are our lost brothers..."

The exploration captain Zuwaro smiled and said the second half slowly.悾

"Since we are brothers, let's go have a meal! Then, have a good chat with the elders of the Quss people in the village, and ask about the situation in this area..."

"By the way! Mickey, how far have we traveled from Lake Bay Harbor? What's the current latitude?"

"Well... We set out from Huwan Port and have traveled 800 miles..."

The knowledgeable Mickey raised his head and looked at the sky where the sun was slanting to the west, as if seeing the invisible North Star.

"Zuowaluo, the latitude I measured last night was about 43 degrees north latitude... We came out of Jinshan Port, and we have already gone north by 5 degrees, more than 1,700 miles!"

"Ah! Is it this far? 43 degrees north latitude... It's 800 miles away from the last port..."

The exploration captain Zuvaro pondered for a while, then said with a smile.悾

"Lord God bless! There seem to be many fishermen in the Kuss... Let's go to the village of the Kuss and have a meal and see if it tastes good!..."

"If it's delicious, we'll leave a boat of people here and set up a kingdom port!"
