As Lawrence and the others were on their way, the red sunset slowly sank into the horizon. Then a quarter moon slowly rose to the sky, shrouded the earth in a pale blue moonlight. Under such blue moonlight, the breeze blew across the flat grassland, causing the grass to constantly undulate, looking like a real sea.

Because there is a distance from the mountain pass to the village where the horseman lives, it took a while for Lawrence and the others to reach the door of the village. Fortunately, because these horsemen belong to the horsemen who have been completely modernized, a good dirt road was specially built to connect the mountain pass and their settlement to facilitate Lawrence and the others.

This village should be one of the villages left by the early pioneers, because Lawrence saw a bastion-style wall reinforced with red bricks and large stones outside the village. And this kind of wall is usually only owned by the strongholds established by civilized races when they first went deep into the wilderness.

However, under normal circumstances, the early construction of strongholds often only used rammed earth or wood to build a circle of bastion-style buildings that can maximize firepower. The practice of wrapping bricks and stones on the exterior wall like this is obviously the result of the immigrants who have strengthened the place after establishing a foothold.

"Stop, who are you?" Just when Lawrence and a group of people came to the gate of this small town on camels, there was a clear sound of a bullet being loaded on the protective wall of the town, followed by a rough middle. The voice of the young man came from the five or six meters high city wall.

"We are a scientific investigation team investigating the ecological environment, and we are going to the dead Gobi for scientific research." Lawrence and the others naturally did not want to have any conflict with the people here, so they immediately stopped the camel after they heard someone asking on the wall. Pausing, then Lawrence walked forward two steps alone and shouted at the wall. "I heard that there is a shaman who knows the surrounding situation very well, so I want to come and visit."

"Investigation group?" Obviously, because the small town on the edge of civilization does not understand things like the investigation group very well. So the guard on the wall seemed a little hesitant. But soon he made a decision and shouted. "Do you have anything to prove your identity? I ask the priest and the sheriff of the Church of Knowledge in our town to take a look."

"Yes, of course. I have badges and certificates to prove my identity." Lawrence shouted to the wall, and then a hanging basket hung from the wall. Upon seeing this, Lawrence put in the things that could prove his identity, and then watched the hanging basket was pulled back.

After waiting for a few minutes, there was movement inside the city gate. After a creaking sound, the suspension bridge that had originally been raised was slowly lowered and placed on the trench outside the town. After that, the iron-clad wooden door opened slightly left and right. Upon seeing this, Lawrence led the camels in two rows and walked towards the town.

"Mr. August. Welcome you and your team to Bigwood Town." After Lawrence entered the door. A priest of the God of Knowledge wearing a sky-blue priest's robe bowed to Lawrence, and then handed him the identity document and badge that Lawrence had given them just now.

"Thank you for allowing us to come in." Lawrence said, then pointed to the empty pockets and water sacs on the camel team behind him, "Because I think there are many settlement areas for intelligent creatures in this area. So I didn’t bring much water and dry food. Whom should I go to if I want to buy supplies?"

"If your team has only this few people, I think it's more appropriate for you to find the boss of Lucky Shoe." After looking at the size of Lawrence's camel team, the priest immediately said a place. "There are often guests who need to travel far in that hotel, so here is also a supply business for various personnel and animals."

According to the priest's explanation, this small town called Giant Wood Town was the first place where the great shamans of the first immigrants were stationed. Then it slowly developed into an important local faith center. The so-called giant tree does not mean that there is a forest around it, but refers to the huge totem pole that the shaman has here as a resident.

Also because of the shaman's military deterrence, this area became a piece of pure land on the grassland when it was just opened up. With the gathering and exchange of population, Jumu Town has gradually become an important distribution center in this grassland, attracting a large number of people, and eventually become one of the most important human gathering areas on this grassland.

For example, if the ranchers on this land want to sell their own animals, they often choose to come to this town and stay with their companions for one or two nights, and then they will form a team together before Lawrence. The road passes through the mountains to Heraklion, the nearest railway hub.

This is the case with the Greymane horsemen that Lawrence and the others met before. They gathered here before and then drove thousands of cattle across the mountains to the city to sell them. After all, although there are basically no wild races on this road, some beasts like gray wolves or leopards are distributed in those inaccessible places. If these ranchers don't patrol the herd back and forth to drive these beasts, the herd will easily be frightened and run away.

Because the great shaman is not young anymore, she usually goes to bed very early. Under this circumstance, Lawrence and the others simply went to the Lucky Horseshoe Inn on the advice of the priest of the Church of Knowledge to stay for one night, and wait until tomorrow morning I will visit the Lord Shaman.

Lucky Shoe Inn is a very distinctive hotel. For example, whether it is a bar or a seat, it can be seen that there are obviously two types~lightnovelpub.net~ some of the positions with stools are for humans, and Those higher positions without seats are for horsemen who always stand. When Lawrence and the others went in, they just saw several horsemen and human ranchers and ranchers drinking wine with their backs on their backs.

Considering that they might need to see the big shaman early tomorrow, Lawrence and the others quickly checked in and went back to the room to sleep. Until the next morning, he got up early to wash up and walked with Nora to the center of the town in the direction guided by the priest last night with a gift.

The center of the town is a flat square, but different from ordinary squares, in the center of the square stands a giant totem pole more than ten meters high and carved out of a huge tree. Any extraordinary person, even ordinary people, can feel a kind of peace from the heart when they walk into this square.

"It should be a totem related to plants." Looking at the large number of artistic plant patterns drawn on the totem pole, plus I feel the magic of quietness and vitality around me. Lawrence said to Nora through the soul connection, "And it is the most traditional kind of totem, which grows slowly but has a very high upper limit. It is possible to become a **** in the future."

"In other words, this shaman should be an extraordinary person of the kind camp." Nara looked at Lawrence with a smile. "It seems that this is indeed good news, at least we should be able to get a lot of information from him."

"I hope so." Lawrence said to Nara. After taking a deep breath, Lawrence held the two small gift jars in his hands. Then, together with the little doll, walked in to the one-story house in front of him, which was built with roughly processed wood.
