"Leo Dodd."

"Joe Matthews"

Leo and the middle-aged man beside him made a brief introduction to each other.

"Your Excellency Matthew thinks this trip will be dangerous?" Leo asked.

Joe Matthew hesitated for a moment, then leaned closer to Leo, lowered his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency should have heard of what happened in Matou Bay during this period, right?"

Leo said, "Is it a monster attacking people, or is someone infected with the plague?"

"It's all." Joe Matthew was talking, looked around, confirmed that no one had noticed him, and continued: "This is actually a sign, a test before the Paho tribe launched an attack, for the purpose of Disturbing people's hearts so that when the official attack is made, the target will not have the will to fight."

"The Paho tribe? Is it an indigenous tribe?" Leo deliberately showed doubts, and said, "I didn't see the name of this indigenous tribe in the archives of Matou Bay. Is this tribe a new tribe?" ?”

"Of course not." Joe Matthew shook his head, and then reminded: "Don't believe the materials in the archives that record the indigenous tribes, those materials are all wrong, if you follow the records and methods on the materials to contact the people here Indigenous tribes, you are likely to become a sacrifice for them because you violated their taboos."

Leo continued to ask in a guiding manner: "Are those materials unreliable? I think the materials on them are very detailed and rigorous, at least much better than those I saw in the kingdom."

"Of course it's much better, otherwise, how can those indigenous tribal experts gain a lot of prestige and cheat more funds from the mainland kingdom?" Joe said with a disdainful expression on his face, "A scholar has never After going deep into the jungle, all the research was based on the nonsense of some soldiers, and then added my own imaginary imagination, combined with the textual research of so-called rigorous scholars, and finally formed pieces of research documents on indigenous tribes. Those things can only be To deceive people who have never been in contact with the indigenous tribes of the New World, and then obtain the money and fame they want through the fabricated content inside..." He seemed to think of something, turned to look at Leo, and explained: "Don't think that I'm jealous of those liar scholars who rely on indigenous tribal research to become famous. The main reason why I tell you this is because you dare to come out with the pioneer group. If you stay in Matou Bay, it is absolutely impossible for me to talk to you. What nonsense you are."

Leo responded with a smile: "Your Excellency, don't worry, in fact, I also felt something was wrong when I saw those materials."

"You feel something is wrong?" Joe looked at Leo suspiciously, and asked, "What do you think is wrong?"

"Many studies on indigenous tribes are wrong." Leo thought for a while and said: "For example, almost all studies on indigenous tribes in the New World describe the indigenous tribes here as a group of wild beasts, without thinking, without civilization, just knowing Killing and destruction, this is obviously unreasonable. Since these aborigines have been able to form a group like a tribe, there must be a certain civilized order in it, and judging from the clothes and weapons used by some of the captive aborigines, they The level of civilization is already very high, and it will definitely not be just some humanoid beasts like those written in those materials."

Listening to Leo's words, Joe also had a happy smile on his face, as if he agreed with Leo's point of view, but then he showed a solemn look, and carefully reminded: "The indigenous tribes have a good reputation. Just talk about it, and don’t spread it to other people’s ears. Some guys don’t want to see someone questioning their fallacies and stealing their light. They can’t do serious research, but they are very good at making troubles secretly. "

"Thank you." Leo nodded to show that he understood, and then asked, "Can you tell me about the Paho tribe you just mentioned?"

Joe was not stingy either, and replied seriously: "I don't know much about the Paho tribe, but I know that this is a powerful tribe located deep in the jungle of the New World. This tribe has a system similar to a monarchy. Its supreme ruler not only Not only the sovereign, but also Pahokim..."

"Pahokim?" Leo repeated the new word in doubt.

Joe also immediately realized that this word is not a common term, so he thought for a while and said, "Do you know Keevil?"

"Kivir the Burned." Immediately, Leo's mind came up with the only celebrity in the world named Keviel he knew.

Joe nodded and said, "Yes, that's Keevil." Then, he paused again, as if he was about to say something, and after thinking for a while, he continued: "The reason why Keevel will be burned is because He put forward an extremely heretical theory of supremacy. He believed that there is a supreme being in this world. This supreme being created the world, created human beings and all things, etc., which is obviously contrary to the origin theory we recognize. Originally, he was just It’s all right to talk like this, but he wants to set up some sect, which will naturally be regarded as a heresy, and it is only logical that he will be burned to death in the end.”

"What does this doctrine of supremacy have to do with Pahokim?" Leo questioned.

Joe replied: "Actually, I suspect that Keevil may have come to the New World and had contact with the Paho tribe in the New World."

"Your hypothesis is too bold, and you have pushed back the discovery of the New World by hundreds of years." Leo said with a smile: "I remember that Kivir was born in the 736th year of Novat's new calendar. It has been more than three hundred years, and the sea was still shrouded in gray fog at that time, how could he cross the sea and come to the New World?" He paused for a while before continuing: "The reason why you made such a bold guess is that Is it because there is some kind of doctrine in the Paho tribe that is similar to the doctrine of supremacy?"

Joe nodded and said: "Yes, the Paho tribe or more correctly, the indigenous tribes of the New World that we have explored all have the same doctrine of the Supreme, and in this doctrine, there is also a Supreme Being, this The Supreme created everything in the world, the land, the sea, plants, animals, and human beings. Everything that can be seen was created by this Supreme. This Supreme is called Pahuo, and the descendants of the Supreme are called Paho. Pahokim."

In this world, perhaps because of the laws of the world, the concept of God is very weak. Some folk tales may record some god-like lives, but they have not formed a truly systematic theology. There is a bit of theological shadow, but it is just a shadow, and has not formed a real theological scripture. Now hearing the Paho tribe mentioned by Joe, it makes Leo feel that there should be a complete paho tribe inside. Theological system, such as the church pope or prophet named Pahokim, the power structure within the indigenous tribe should be the church system structure, which means that the Paho tribe is a theocracy, and this system is not uncommon in other worlds.

"Continue to talk about the Paho tribe?" Leo speculated about the power structure of the Paho tribe, and wanted to confirm with Joe, so he said urgently.

Hearing this, Qiao also put the topic back on track, and then carefully explained what he knew about the Paho people. Leo did not interrupt, but listened carefully.

Joe is an adventurer and a language genius. His father is a circus director and runs a large circus. The pioneers bought more than a dozen captured indigenous slaves and let them perform the life of the indigenous tribes of the New World in the circus. way, learned the native languages ​​belonging to different tribes from those native slaves, and also began to be curious about the New World.

A few years later, without the support of his father, he found an opportunity to sign up to join a pioneering group and went to the New World to carry out colonial development, hoping to get in touch with everything in the New World in this way.

However, his luck was not very good. When the ship was about to reach its destination, it suddenly encountered a rare super storm. The ship disintegrated directly at sea, and everyone fell into the water, while he was holding an empty wine barrel and was floating on the sea. It was not until two days later that he was sent to the shore by the waves, and what was even more unfortunate was that he survived and was caught by the indigenous tribes near the coast before he could be happy.

To this day, the relationship between the New World Pioneering Group and the local indigenous tribes is incompatible, let alone ten years ago, when Joe, who was less than twenty years old at the time, was about to be executed and sacrificed after being captured by the indigenous tribes, but During this process, Joe showed the surgical skills he learned in the circus and rescued several indigenous people who were seriously injured in the battle between the indigenous tribes. of a physician.

In the next few years, he stayed in that indigenous tribe, learned various knowledge of the indigenous tribe, and through some trade contacts between the indigenous tribe and other tribes, he also knew about other tribes, and even in a team trade , He also went deep into the depths of the jungle that the pioneering groups of various countries have not penetrated into, and came to the trading field opened by the Paho people on the edge of the area controlled by their own tribe. Only then can he be absolutely sure that the indigenous tribes in the New World are civilized. Moreover, the level of civilization was not low, and it was also at this time that he first learned of the existence of the Paho tribe.

Later, he collected a lot of information about the Paho people, knowing that the Paho people are the leaders of all the tribes along the coast, and can indirectly control the political power and military power of the tribes in this area. How many tribes are there? It is found that the land directly or indirectly controlled by the Paho people is more than ten times that of the largest country in the Novat continent. These years, the coastal kingdom's pioneering group is not so much fighting with different indigenous tribes in the New World. It is more correct for a tribe to fight, and that tribe is the Paho.

According to the information collected by Joe, although the Paho people control these indigenous tribes close to the coastline, the Paho people seldom end the battle in person, but once the Paho people end the battle in person, the end of the war is already doomed, and the Paho people One of the characteristics of the Huo people's personal participation in the battle is that they will drive monsters to attack the pioneer group and use some kind of parasite to create panic, just like what happened in Matou Bay these days.

Joe judged from the clues that the target of the Paho tribe's attack should be Matou Bay, so he will do everything possible to take the initiative to join the pioneering group, leave Matou Bay temporarily, and avoid the Paho tribe's attack.

"Why don't you ask me that since I know that the Paho tribe will attack Matou Bay, why don't you tell the governor or the town government what you know?" After explaining why he joined the Pioneering Group, Joe asked curiously. Leo asked with a calm expression on his face.

Leo replied: "They will not believe your words, they will only treat you as a lunatic."

"You're an interesting guy." Joe smiled, with a hint of bitterness in his smile, and said, "You're right, they really regarded me as a lunatic, just like the other pioneers who didn't listen to my advice It's okay, I'm used to it."

Leo asked: "What about the tribe you stayed in back then? What happened afterwards?"

"It's already gone." With a trace of loneliness and hatred on Joe's face, he simply answered and closed his mouth, not wanting to say anything more.

Although Joe didn't say it, it's not hard to guess the ending of that tribe from his expression.

Seeing this situation, Leo took the initiative to change the subject and said, "Why did you imply just now that we would be attacked? In addition to attacking Matou Bay, will the Paho tribe divide their troops to pursue the pioneer group?"

"No, the Paho tribe's way of fighting is to concentrate their forces to attack a vital point, and they will never divide their forces," Joe shook his head, and then explained: "But the Paho tribe is not attacking by a tribe, it should call Other tribes, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com And there will definitely be people from those tribes to attack the pioneering group. After all, compared to attacking a well-protected small town, attacking a newly formed pioneering group in the jungle without any experience It's easier, not to mention that the tribes and the pioneering group are sworn enemies. Even if the pioneering group has just been established and has not attacked any indigenous tribes, it is the same. It seems that they are only targeting the strength with the name of the pioneering group. Not those in the pioneer group."

After listening to Joe's narration, Leo changed the subject abruptly and asked: "Your Excellency, I just mentioned that the Paho tribe can control monsters, but as far as I know, it is impossible for monsters not to control them. It is already the result of countless experiments in various kingdoms."

"Indeed, according to the normal situation, all the monsters in the New World are uncontrollable, but what if you encounter an abnormal situation?" Joe first agreed with Leo's statement, then immediately changed the subject and asked Leo: " Have you heard of the Miret Disaster?"

Leo shook his head.

Joe nodded and said: "Only a few small inland countries know about the Miret Disaster, and the coastal kingdoms don't record this folklore at all, but as far as I know, the method of controlling monsters by the Paho people seems to be similar to Milet's Disaster is somewhat similar."
