A path stretched out of the snow-covered forest, and the pile of stones served as a marker, but it was difficult to tell which way it would lead.

This is a dense forest in the northern part of the New World, and even the animals hide in the forest after the first snow, and a creaking of wheels over the snow comes from far and near, and a procession of tired merchants appears on the road.

There were dozens of people in this team, and more than twenty of them were guards with weapons in their hands, guarding a dozen carts, but the carts were pulled by some human beings dressed as slaves, all strong but numb, and from the similar clothing and ornaments of the guards, it could be seen that these people should be from the same tribe.

One of them, a handsome male human, dressed very differently from the others, was dressed in thick linen, with a short sword pinned to his waist that was slightly longer than his arm, and carrying a poorly-made bow and arrow, looking like an ordinary hunter going out hunting.

This is the transformed Shepard, who is chatting with a strong man next to him who is half shirtless, unafraid of the cold after the first snow: "Captain Marru, are you sure we can return to the tribe before the sun sets?" ”

The strong Maruha laughed and said, "Shepard, you saved my life, I won't lie to you!" When we return to the tribe, I will let you sleep with my wife and drink my good wine as a token of my gratitude to you!" ”

Shepard wasn't too anxious, just looking for an excuse to chat, but the way the other party expressed his gratitude really made him feel insensitive.

After arranging the affairs of the fishing village, he left with some dry food and the bow and arrows and weapons prepared for him by the carpenter and blacksmith.

After walking southeast for a day, he encountered this caravan attacked by fierce beasts, and after using his archery skills to shoot the beasts attacking the caravan back, he also saved the leader of the caravan from life and death, and joined the team to go to the tribe where the caravan was.

Thanks to the existence of the Godhead, the language barrier has never existed among the gods, although the communication with Maru is a bit stumbling due to the inability to use spiritual links, but it only makes the other party think that he is a member of some remote tribe, so although the language is similar to his own tribe, it is also different.

Maru's Rusa tribe is a large tribe with tens of thousands of people, and has been divided into four or five small and medium-sized tribes because of the increase in population, in the game of the previous life, this is the first hard bone encountered by the original expeditionary force, they believe in a demigod snow demon who masters the ice and snow and trade priesthood, until the player comes to the new world in large numbers, only rely on the undead players to bleed the Rusa tribe, and finally the strong men of the expeditionary force together to besiege and kill the snow devil, and obtain the first primordial godhead since the expedition.

Because of this, Shepard had to follow these people to the Rusa tribe, not only did there be several very distinctive tribal professions in the Rusa tribe that he could learn and reference, but after passing through the area controlled by the Rusa tribe in the south, he began to enter the central region of the New World, which was a good place for Shepard to show his strength.

The caravan had been away from the tribe for more than three months, and although it had been replenished along the way, the mental exhaustion could not be eliminated, especially the dangers in the wilderness that threatened the safety of everyone at all times, even with several powerful demobilized warriors to rely on, as they had when they met Shepard, they almost overturned.

At the same time, Maru, who was the leader of the guard and the leader of the caravan, turned his head to look at the tired crowd and loudly boosted his morale: "Cheer up!" Just after this last journey, you will return to the tribe! When the time comes, I will ask the patriarch for a good wine as a reward, so that you can have a good drink! ”

Everyone shouted a few times in giggling, and their mental outlook finally improved a lot.

Shepard nodded slightly, he has been with this caravan for nearly a month, and he has confirmed that many situations of the Rusa tribe are not much different from those in his previous life, especially that this tribe can brew wine, and the beast spirit of faith has also become a demigod, and also has the priesthood of trade, which can be described as a huge potential, if it were not for the bloody battle with the expeditionary force that came across the sea and exhausted all the potential and capital, the northern ruler of the New World would inevitably appear from this tribe.

On the rest of the journey, after losing two guards to a wolf attack, the caravan finally saw a rudimentary city surrounded by stones and earthen walls in the distance.

Everyone cheered wildly, after nearly a third of the number of caravans, they finally returned to the tribe, at this time the caravan trade is so dangerous, and only large tribes have the capital to organize a caravan out, if you are unlucky, after a caravan, you may have to be quiet for a long time to recover.

With a look of pride on her face, Maru boasted to Shepard, "See? The construction of the wall out of stone and earth was taught to the chief priest by the great Massalus (a troll of the Ruth tribe's faith), who in turn taught the patriarch! ”

Shepard nodded amusedly, in his previous life, he had seen the earth and stone walls built by the Ruth tribe, and even the pure stone walls that the Ruth tribe had learned from the captured expeditionary forces and the captives of the adventurers, but this was just half built, and he had not seen it.

'The Ruth tribe was indeed one of the first tribes to rise in the city-state system in the New World, and fortunately I am not in the north, otherwise even if there is no threat of an expeditionary force for a while, I am afraid that it will be difficult to develop and grow in the vicinity of this behemoth. ’

With other thoughts turning in his heart, Shepard smiled and said, "Yes! Captain Maru, your gods are wise and great, and although the gods of our tribe are also wise, a small tribe like ours cannot afford to build such a magnificent wall. ”

Demigods have been able to sense the direction of the speaker and the content of the words before and after the name by being spoken, and although Shepard is confident that as long as he does not meet, the other party will not find out that he has a godhead, but the connection between the god's name and the god is the instinct of the gods, which has to be guarded against.

Maru pursed his lips without a trace to show disdain, but said: "Your tribe can only be regarded as spirits, and there are qualified to be called gods!" ”

The anger on Shepard's face flashed, but he suppressed it again, and smiled reluctantly: "That is, such a powerful tribe as the Ruth tribe can have a powerful god!" ”

Hearing this, Maru said solemnly: "Shepard, you saved my life, so I will deal with you, but after arriving in the tribe, I will never be allowed to say this!" You must remember that it is because of the protection of the great Massaros that the Ruth tribe has grown so strong! If the priests had heard what you had just said, they would have taken you and sacrificed you to the great Massalus! ”

Shepard showed gratitude and hurriedly responded, and Maru was relieved and shouted to lead the caravan towards the Ruth tribe.

Although you can see the walls of the Ruth tribe from afar, it was not until sunset that the caravan finally arrived at the tribe.

Most of the tribal warriors who watched the gate knew Maru and greeted him one after another, and the heroic Maru also responded one by one.

Entering the two-person high gate, the construction of the city also fell into the eyes of Shepard, due to the lack of good urban planning, the internal distribution of the Ruth tribe can be described as miserable, relying on the vigorous and strong vitality of the tribe in the rising period, the construction of the walls everywhere is in full swing.

The city, which will be named after the tribe, has begun to take shape, and according to the current progress, it will take about half a year to complete the project, after all, it is only some earth and stone walls, and it is not a very high-tech project.

After the start of the in-game plot, the Ruth tribe learned the construction techniques of the Old Continent, and the Ruth City that took two years to build with the strength of the whole clan was almost the same as the city-states of the Old World, but the second year after the city was completed, the tribal belief of Mazarus died at the hands of the strong man of the expeditionary force, and the Ruth tribe completely declined.

First followed Maru and his party to hand over the caravan, and all the materials exchanged for it will be stored in the tribe's warehouse, including many resources such as salt, coal, and ore produced by nearby tribes, which are urgently needed for the development of the tribe.

Maru did not break his promise, and the strong bear-like patriarch of the Ruth tribe, who walked around the outdoors naked in the winter, generously rewarded them with a large amount of wine, except for one jar that Maru had taken, and gave the rest to the guards and members of the caravan.

"Go, Shepard, I'll take you back to my house! My woman was a beauty who was once famous in the tribe at that time! ”

Maru greeted, and Shepard, who was a little embarrassed, had to touch his nose and follow him out of the caravan handover area.

As an excellent warrior in the tribe who is good at trading and fighting, Maru is qualified to live in a specific area, and has walked out of several blocks that are basically indistinguishable from their respective areas, and the smell of garbage and feces fills the air, but looking at the expressions of passers-by, they are basically familiar with this smell.

After all, Masaros is a beast spirit, even if he becomes a demigod, he is like the early human gods, it will take a long time to summarize the importance of urban sanitation in the lesson, and the human gods learned a lot of knowledge about urban development from the elves, after all, the elves and dwarves are still higher than humans in all aspects of civilization, dominating many mountains and forests in the Old World.

When I arrived at Maru's house, it was a two-story wooden house made of wood and stone, but I couldn't see that this swaggering Maru still had such a delicate mind.

Bang and bang on the door, this big voice shouted for his woman to open the door.

After a while, the door was opened, and out came a tall and strong woman, with strong arms and thighs, bulging breasts and straight ass, and unexpectedly good looking, it seems that Maru's boasting is not very wet.

It's just that Shepard suddenly thought of what Maru said before that he would let his wife sleep with him to express his gratitude, and his expression suddenly became weird.
