CH.12 Establishment of Diplomatic Relations
The natives went back and faithfully passed Anrui's words to the chieftain.
For these natives, gold and magic diamonds are just beautiful stones, not particularly precious. And they have several deposits that can mine gold and magic diamonds, and they can also mine these precious metals in a steady stream. The chief did not back down at Anrui's request, but accepted the exchange with pleasure.
The next day, three large bags of precious metals were transported to the shore, and the gold, silver, and translucent ores shone with dazzling brilliance.
"Oh my God! These stupid natives have so much money! ”
"Haha, we're going to get rich now."
"It's because the president is rich."
"Rest assured. You just came, so I don't know, our president is a very generous person, and every time he makes a lot of money, he will give us some. He eats meat and bones, and we drink soup! ”
The sailors looked at the various ores, and they were all as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
Anrui stepped forward again, and asked Quasimodo to act as an interpreter, using consciousness to communicate with the natives. He exchanged those precious metals in the way of equal weight exchange, with all kinds of worthless gadgets. Today is a targeted exchange, and the profit is even more lucrative than yesterday.
In the days that followed, every day the natives would bring all kinds of things to exchange with Anrui, and Anrui made a lot of money, and the natives also got what they wanted, which can be described as a great joy.
Among the traded items is a special large stone. This stone is called a mirage stone, and it has the effect of absorbing consciousness and creating illusions. Crush the mirage stone. The pieces are distributed among different people, who can use the mirage stone to communicate images over long distances.
The Mirage Stone can be said to be a higher-level sound transmission stone, and the effect is better than the sound transmission stone, not only can you hear the sound, but you can also see the influence of others. At the same time, the rarity of this stone is also higher than that of the sound transmission stone, which is very rare. Even the average big country can't take it out.
If this mirage stone is taken out and sold, it can be sold for at least two million gold coins, and it is still rushed. It's easy to sell.
Anrui planned to smash this mirage stone and give it to his subordinates to use as a spare sound transmission stone.
Inside the consciousness space of the mirage.
There was chaos and gray all around.
Anrui's consciousness is presented. The appearance is basically the same as his real appearance. It's just a little blurry, and I can't really see it.
Several other important crew members of the fleet also stayed here, most of whom had never used the Mirage Stone before, and found it very fresh.
"An Rui, look at the move!"
Alice's slightly playful voice rang out, and her palms ran from behind Anrui and through her chest.
The phantom of consciousness is like the undead. The body is all virtual and can be penetrated.
"Alice. Don't make a fuss......" An Rui said helplessly.
Alice didn't obey at all, but instead intensified, piercing Anrui's head with both hands, forming two rabbit ears on his head. The sight drew laughter from the rest of the crew. The crew members also played the game, penetrating or chasing each other, having a lot of fun.
The mirage stone has become a pastime in the fleet, and everyone will go in and play when they have nothing to do.
In addition to the mirage, the natives also sent some other strange things, each with its own miraculous effect.
The relationship between the two parties gradually warmed up during the transaction, and an initial friendship was established, which became a real "Arula". Striking while the iron was hot, Anrui came up with the idea of taking people on a tour of the dwarven tribe, and obtained the consent of the dwarven chieftain.
An Rui wants to take root in the New World, and there are only two options, either destroy the natives or befriend the natives. These natives didn't provoke him, and of course he wouldn't be ruthless enough to destroy them. Since this is the case, then we can only find a way to build a good relationship. Trading is only the first step, and the next step is to have more comprehensive communication with the natives, and even live in the natives.
This dwarven tribe is called the "Yama tribe", which translates to mean the people of the earth.
The buildings in the Yama tribe are all made of stone, and large and small stones are piled together to form houses, which can withstand the cold. There are many stone pillars erected in the tribe, and the stone pillars are carved and painted, and some have fur hanging from them. These pillars are mainly used for decoration, but they are also related to the beliefs of the indigenous people.
These indigenous gods were warriors of the ancient tribes.
The tribe also has a lot of livestock and hounds, which are very different from the rest of the Seven Seas, and some of them are strange-looking.
It was the first time for Anrui to come, and with only a small number of people, he walked to the chief's mansion surrounded by many natives. It was a very large stone house, and it was a two-story building. This group of natives was still very hospitable, and they all walked out of the house, looking at An Rui's group of "tall men", and let out a strange shout.
Quasimodo learned through communication that this shout was a sign of welcome.
An Rui and his party entered the chief's mansion and met the chief of the Yama tribe.
The chief was dressed in snow-white fur, and the fur did not even have a single variegated hair, which was quite beautiful. The Yama tribe is a patrilineal society, and the chief is a male.
Quasimodo transferred the effects of the Bridge of Languages magic to the chieftain, communicating directly with him. The chief was a little uncomfortable at first, but slowly accepted this style of communication.
Anrui chatted with the chief, who asked a lot of questions and was very interested in their group of outsiders.
"Where are you from?" The chief asked.
"We've come here from a very far away place, and beyond this land, there's more land." An Rui replied.
"You are the first group of outsiders, no one has ever been here before, I thought that there was only this land in the whole world, and we were the only people in the world."
"No, you're wrong, the outside world is big and there are many races. You're not alone. ”
"I heard that you have a wooden house, and I came here in a wooden house."
"That's the boat. A means of transport that can be moved at sea. Anrui corrected.
"I'm very interested in the ship, and I'm willing to exchange colored stones with you." The chief said with great interest, "I would like to send someone to your land. ”
"The outside world is dangerous. And the boat is not so easy to drive. After a long time, I will send someone to teach you how to sail a boat, but not now. ”
"Friend, you're so nice."
"You're good too......"
The exchange was generally pleasant, and the chief and Anrui chatted for a long time, and while the two were exchanging, the various dishes were ready. It was put on the table. Also on the table are locally brewed spirits.
An Rui and his subordinates ate and drank happily. In gratitude for the hospitality of these natives. Some small gifts were also given to the natives.
After the meal, the chief graciously retained An Rui and his party, wanting them to stay. This would strengthen the friendship between the two parties, and Anrui agreed. Under the arrangement of the natives. They lived in different stone huts.
Early the next morning. An Ray was approached by a fellow Dwarven crewman, a carpenter with a skill in tinkering. If a ship in the fleet breaks down in the middle of the way, he will repair it. Since the natives are all dwarves, it is easier for dwarves to gain trust with each other. So An Rui specially brought him over and made him familiar with this group of indigenous dwarves.
The dwarven craftsman came to Anrui to complain.
"President, I was given a native...... last night Bullied ......," the dwarf said with a bitter face.
"Who bullied you?" Anrui frowned. The two sides have just established diplomatic relations, and it is better not to have any contradictions.
"Alas. Don't mention it. Last night I lived alone in a stone hut, and the door here was not locked, and in the middle of the night I touched two natives, and they chattered and ...... They bullied me. The old dwarf's face flushed, and everything was silent.
“……”
An Rui was speechless, eighty percent of the female natives fell in love with this dwarf craftsman, so a female overlord came to take the bow.
The aesthetics are different between different races, dwarves will appreciate dwarves more, orcs will appreciate orcs more, and terrans will appreciate terrans more. Because the elves are very similar to the human race, and the aesthetics are basically the same, there are more cases of intermarriage. Marriages between other races are rare.
Even if An Rui's appearance is very handsome, he can be regarded as good wherever he goes, but he may not be able to win the favor of those indigenous female men. Those women may think that he is too tall and thin, that his body is not thick enough, that he does not have a big beard, and so on. In the eyes of those female men, he is not a handsome guy.
"I deeply sympathize with what happened to you, but forget about it. A romantic night, and you don't suffer. An Rui reassured.
"Who said you don't suffer." Tears were about to fall from the dwarven craftsman's eyes, "They're almost draining me, and my legs are still weak when I walk!" ”
An Rui was secretly glad that this was a group of dwarven natives, if it was a group of human natives, he would probably be the one who would be squeezed dry......
Everything is difficult at the beginning, and with a good beginning, the next is much easier. In the days that followed, An Rui often took people to visit the Yama tribe, and the relationship between the two sides became better and better.
Feeling that the time was almost over, An Rui proposed the idea of settling in the local area, and was willing to exchange some goods for land. The chief agreed, brought a simple map, and gave a large area to Anrui and them, and said that he would send someone to help build the house.
The work soon began, starting with a pier by the sea, followed by a number of buildings. Anrui planned to build a wharf by the sea, and then slowly expand it to form a port.
After this Daystar Continent is made public in the future, it will definitely attract many people to do business here, and it will become more and more prosperous. As the first person to discover this place, Anrui will take this place for himself and become the owner of this place.
Building a port is a long thing, and three or five days will not work. Fortunately, Anrui brought enough people, and with the help of indigenous people, the progress of the project was considerable, and a lot of work was completed every day. The trestle bridges were built, stone houses were built, and the port gradually took shape.
In the process, Anrui sent two linguists to come into contact with the indigenous people and learn to analyze the indigenous language. After all, communicating with magic is not a long-term solution, and in the future, we will still have to find a way to learn and communicate in the local language. The two linguists are experts in analysing a variety of languages, and they learn from a few to a dozen local words every day. Gradually, I mastered the local language and became a translator.
……
One day, the local natives ushered in a special day. A large herd of livestock was specially prepared and transported to a valley.
Anrui knew what these dwarves were going to do. He offered to take someone with him, and was approved by the chief.
The natives and Anrui hurried to the valley, walked a long way, and reached the mouth of the valley. The valley is full of fishy winds. The murderous atmosphere is full of corpses on the ground, and it looks like a sinister place. The natives put their livestock at the mouth of the valley. The animals were all tied up and unable to move, so they had to resign themselves to their fate.
The natives recited a long list of prayers and kowtowed to the ground. Then we set out on the return journey. Got out of here.
An Rui did not rush to leave, but stayed, hiding in the shadows, quietly observing Taniguchi.
The cries of the bound animals became their last words, and the Grim Reaper was brought to death.
"Rustling ......"
There was a strange sound in the valley, and then a large group of beetles crawled out of the valley, and these beetles looked like cockroaches. It's just that it's countless times larger, and it looks very scary. The army of beetles crawled up to the herd. The cattle were bitten to death and dragged into the valley, leaving a glaring bloody trail on the ground.
An Rui and the others hid in the shadows and saw this scene clearly.
"The beetles here look like the beetles we carry on our ship." Alice muttered as she looked at the army of beetles in the distance.
"Well, these beetles are the same kind as ours, but they are slightly different in appearance. The number and strength of these beetles are higher than ours. An Rui said in a deep voice.
"Why are they stronger?"
"The Zerg are as strong and weak as we are, so it's not surprising."
"Why do these natives send livestock to beetles to eat?"
"There's an old agreement between them that the natives are to bring food over regularly to feed the beetles so that they don't hurt them."
"I see that those natives have a lot of strength, even they don't dare to start a war with this group of beetles, it seems that this group of beetles is indeed very strong."
"The dwarves here have brute strength, but they don't know how to use their strength, and they are certainly no match for this group of beetles. The beetles we see are only a part of them, and there are quite a lot of kinds of these beetles, flying in the sky, drilling in the ground, and everything. If they did, those dwarves would not be opponents at all. ”
"You brought us over to see this, what should be your purpose?" Alice speculated.
"Yes." An Rui nodded in acknowledgement, his eyes fierce and fierce, "I want to exterminate this group of beetles, let my beetles devour them, analyze their body structure, and then replicate their beetle species." This will make our beetles a lot stronger. ”
"So you had that in mind. When are we going to do it? ”
"The natives are scared of the beetles, and they won't agree to us doing that. It's up to us to do it ourselves, and the sooner the better, of course. When I got back, I assigned some of them to guard the docks, some to guard the Yama tribe, and some to collect the beetles. ”
An Rui's eyes were cold, and he said in an aggravated tone: "This time, I want to kill all these beetles and kill their queens." ”
This insect queen has a certain difference from the queen of the red beard, the strength is higher than that of the queen of the red beard, and it can resist the effect of the master-servant contract, but it cannot be subdued, and it can only be eliminated. If it can be subdued, there is no need to kill it, it can be completely subdued and a second Zerg army can be cultivated.
An Rui was resolute, and after he returned, he quickly made a good deployment.
The next day, he brought a group of elite soldiers and his own Zerg troops to that dangerous valley.
Their arrival soon alarmed the beetles in the valley. A large group of beetle troops came out of the valley and came to stop them. This group of beetles is made up of three different beetles, one in the shape of a cockroach, one in the shape of a martial arts, and one in the shape of an earthworm.
Last time, in order to improve his strength as soon as possible, An Rui fought alone with the beetle at all costs, but this time there was no need for this.
"Follow me!" An Rui waved his hand and took the lead in rushing forward.
In the blink of an eye, he rushed to the head of the rival beetle, unleashed his Storm Flow technique, and slashed forward with two powerful storms. The storm pushed forward, whirling beetles into the air.
Alice assists him in the back, shooting arrow after arrow. The arrows rained down on the swarm, striking beetle after beetle.
The army of beetles under An Rui's command also rushed over with great momentum. These beetles have a very different appearance from hostile beetles, with a red dot on each head as a mark, making them easy to distinguish. Beetles and beetles fought bloody battles, and the killings were inextricably linked.
The enemy's earthworm-type beetles burrowed into the ground, carried out a sneak attack underground, and emerged from the ground, causing some trouble for An Rui's group, and several of them were bitten. Hermione and two other priests hurriedly used magic to help heal their wounds.
The strength of An Rui's group was there, and they were definitely stronger than these beetles, and they soon gained the upper hand and slaughtered the beetle army in pieces.
The Beetle Army called in more reinforcements through a special method of communication. The beetles that came this time were obviously much more powerful, including dozens of elite beetles. These beetles have a very special appearance, they are actually dragon-shaped, they can run on the ground with their feet, and they have sickle-like claws on both sides of their bodies, which are very strong at first glance.
"Everyone, be careful, dangerous guys are coming." An Rui's eyes changed slightly, and he reminded.
After speaking, he immediately entered a half-dragon state and merged with the Black Lan Dragon. Then he jumped on top of the beetle reinforcements, and trampled on the raptor. There was an explosion at the foothold, creating a powerful shockwave that knocked over numerous beetles. (To be continued......)
