Chapter 23 The Stirrup

 Isabel's return gave Lu Yao finally a person with whom he could communicate directly and issue complex instructions.

 【Drifting Letter】There is only 1 page of letter paper available now, and it will become invalid after it is consumed. Lu Yao needs its output of +1 Faith per hour, so it can basically only be used as a mascot.

 In the past, if Lu Yao wanted to issue instructions, he had to use a prophet to interpret them and then further convey them to the tribe. However, after this series of information was speculated and relayed by the prophet, and fell into the eyes of the tribe's villains, the **** Lu Yao became more obscure and elusive.

 The whole process is like picking your nose with a fur glove.

 Hands and nose feel wrong.

Through Isabel’s words, Lu Yao, who is in a fixed overlooking perspective, can know what is happening in this pixel game world.

“According to the description of the Bedou tribe, bandits in the desert have only begun to appear in recent years. Before the monsters attacked the oasis, there was an incident.”

 Her statement floated above Isabel's head.

“The Yanchi tribe once found the Bedou tribe and wanted them to transport goods in the desert for the Yanchi tribe and establish a Yanchi tribe’s stronghold in the oasis.”

“This was opposed and rejected by the Bedou tribe.”

“Shortly after that, the desert monsters that were originally far away from the oasis suddenly rebelled and attacked the oasis in large numbers. The Bedou tribe was unable to resist, so they had no choice but to abandon the oasis and escape temporarily.”

“While escaping, the desert bandits took the opportunity to attack, killed many Bedou tribesmen, and robbed their camels and sheep.”

“The Salt Pond Tribe is very dangerous,” Isabel commented.

Lu Yaoxin said, what is supposed to come will always come.

If the Garlic Tribe had refused to trade with them, they might have been in dire straits and encountered all kinds of unexpected troubles.

The Salt Pond Tribe’s tentacles are all around, and the Garlic Tribe must be prepared to deal with them.

 Lu Yao glanced at the 11 Yanchi tribe captives, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

 He typed quickly on the keyboard.

 —Give these 11 captives to the Donghe tribe as aid to them.

 “Yes, my lord.”

—Also, ask the Donghe Tribe and the Yanchi Tribe about their cooperation.

 After receiving the order, Isabel met with [grandmother].

 “It’s actually the apostle!”

 【Grandma】acted extremely surprised, with a question mark popping up above her head.

She thought in her mind: "Fortunately, the tribe has been praying and worshiping. Ordinary gods cannot have apostles. It seems that Yao is a terrifying **** on the same level as Qi."

 This also made Lu Yao wary.

The praying **** also has an apostle, so be extra careful if you encounter one.

 …

  【The attitude of the Donghe tribe became close. 】

 Sending out these captives really won the gratitude and favor of the Donghe tribe.

 So Lu Yao turned his attention to the other side.

  The addition of the remnants of the Bedou tribe brought a series of major changes to the Garlic tribe.

　　【The Garlic tribe learned how to raise and use camels. 】

  【The Garlic tribe learned how to raise and use sheep. 】

  【The Garlic tribe has livestock. 】

　　【The garlic tribe discovered wool. 】

 Two kinds of domesticated and mature livestock have their own functions.

 After the Garlic tribe began to raise camels, camels began to replace manpower in the past and were used to carry heavy objects such as wood, stones, and fish, greatly increasing the efficiency of transportation and collection.

 Pixel people began to explore around on camels. With this kind of means of transportation, the movement range of the tribe's villains has been greatly expanded. They can enter and leave the forests and mountains in a short time. The Garlic Tribe also set foot in the desert for the first time to search for available resources.

 The emergence of sheep has brought two important resources.

 Meat and wool.

The Garlic tribe used to rely on hunters to obtain their meat. Hunting is not only seasonal, but also dangerous. Even with bows and arrows nowadays, hunters are still injured from time to time.

 After domesticating sheep, there was a stable supply of meat.

 Wool is an important material for keeping warm.

The Bedou tribe are all good at domestication. They are not only good at raising camels and sheep, but also master the technology of spinning and weaving with wool. As they blended into the crowd, their techniques became the knowledge of the Garlic Tribe, which was spread and popularized.

Lu Yao’s focus was Shah Khan, the leader of the remnant Bedou tribe. He is a gray-haired old man with the title of "Astrologer".

 …

 【Astrologer Lv4】Shahan

 Attack 0 Defense 0 Knowledge 4 Mana 2 Luck 0 Morale 1

【ability】

 Astrology Lv3: Divination of changes in celestial phenomena and bad luck through astrology.

 …

 Somewhat similar to Shah Khan is the Shaman Hunting Hall.

 …

  【Shaman Level 3】Hunting Barn

 Attack 0 Defense 0 Knowledge 2 Mana 2 Luck 0 Morale 1

【ability】

Healing Lv2: Can treat various diseases and injuries. The healing ability is related to ability level, knowledge and mana.

 …

 The abilities of astrologers and shamans are both highly operational and practical.

After arriving at the Garlic Tribe, the astrologer sat beside the temple. He set up a sheepskin tent, worshiped the gods, and observed the stars for divination.

Most of the time, he serves as the tribe’s weather forecaster.

“There is enough rain, so this spring is suitable for sowing.”

“A strong wind is brewing on the horizon, everyone pack your things and take shelter as soon as possible.”

 “Wrath will break out in the mountains, do not enter the mountains.”

 …

Lu Yao specially verified it and found that Shahan predicted some large-scale disasters, such as heavy rains, earthquakes, and hurricanes, with high accuracy.

The Garlic Tribe merged with the Bedou Tribe, further expanding its borders and industries. In addition, food became more abundant and abundant. Most of the time, the pixel villains had smiling faces on their heads.

 On the other hand, the situation of the Donghe tribe continues to deteriorate.

Originally, the sea monsters suffered from incurable diseases and were constantly weakening and dying. Now there are only two living sea monsters left.

Isabel returned to the temple and reported: "Sir, I used my last prayer in the Donghe tribe to awaken the undead sea monsters. After questioning and verification, it was determined that their cause was poisoning."

“Sea monsters usually forage in the water, eating fish, shrimp and shellfish, but in the past year, there has suddenly been some strange meat at the bottom of the water.”

“The meat is very fresh, and the sea monsters like it very much. Although their bodies are huge, their minds are not smart, and they are about the same as babies.”

“After eating these meats, the sea monsters began to show varying degrees of symptoms. Their scales festered, their bodies became weak, and they felt groggy and always wanted to sleep. If the symptoms worsened, the sea monsters would die.”

 The case of sea monster poisoning was aimed at the Donghe tribe.

This jerk-like style immediately reminded Lu Yao of a certain group.

 He was typing on the keyboard.

 —Yanchi tribe.

 “My lord has indeed seen through everything.”

 Isabel continued to talk about her discovery.

"I used my dying prayer to inquire about the souls of the dead in the East River. The souls said that a group of mysterious people came to the river by boat after dark and deliberately came to a place not far from the Donghe Tribe Island. They threw the meat Entering the water. Confirmed to be the work of the Yanchi tribe."

“According to the Donghe tribe, they have conflicts with the Yanchi tribe. The Yanchi tribe has always wanted to exchange slaves and salt for sea monsters, but the Donghe tribe rejected it.”

“The Salt Pond Tribe is very dissatisfied with this and believes that doing so is a form of betrayal and distrust. The relationship between the two parties has become increasingly cold, and the volume of transactions has continued to decrease.”

 Lu Yao realized it.

The skill of dying prayer is not only used to summon the undead to fight, but also to collect intelligence. It is also a magical skill.

 He thought for a moment and made a decision.

   Tell the Donghe tribe the truth.

—Tell them again that the Garlic Tribe is willing to provide a piece of land by the river for them to live and settle on land, so that they don’t have to worry about wind, waves and climate problems on the water. Being closer to the Garlic Tribe, trade is convenient and both sides can take care of each other.

 “Yes, my lord.”

 Isabel took the order.
