Chapter 218: "Journey Away" (5) The Land of the Sun
Chapter 15: Crossing Ami
...... In the spring of 1486, in the spring season, I left the impressive Misura with the caravan and headed in the direction of Shouton Calles.
I heard that the next is the core area of Ami, and the difficulty of walking should be reduced a little, at least not as chaotic as it is now. ......
...... I feel that the distribution of Ami's cities is unreasonable, why don't they go south directly on their official roads, and now we have to go through Detroit to go south.
I heard from the foot merchants on the road that the nobles of Detroit were very powerful in Ami, so they deliberately built such a cumbersome official road and passed through Detroit. ......
...... It was a pity that I had not been able to visit Sinuch in the east, and the caravan men told me that there was a very magnificent mountain range to the west, and that our Turabi-Kale mountain range in Goshoge was not worth mentioning at all, and that the leader of the caravan told me that this mountain range stretched all the way from Romanhephi to this side, and that the most extensive mountain range was almost the size of the chief priesthood of Gosur.
Is it really possible that there is such a long and magnificent mountain range above the stars? It's a pity not to look at it, I can't measure the accuracy of this statement on the spot.
However, I did not gain nothing, and according to the previous information, they said that there was a small north-south mountain range in front of me, which divided the road into two narrow passages, which was also a peculiar sight to satisfy my curiosity. ......
...... To the east of Rusrien is the north-south mountain range, which separates the two regions, and it is said that there are still some very old barbarian tribes in the mountains, who were once the rulers of the area, and those barbarian tribes, like the Surassi and Suhi, have some kinship with the Ami people here. ......
...... God, there are some strange creatures in this mountain range, to be exact, I haven't even gone deep into the mountain range, but I have encountered some man-eating wheat and chickens with the ability to bewitch, and in view of these strange creatures, I did not dare to go deeper into the mountain range to continue exploring.
However, along the way, I was fortunate enough to meet a group of foot traders, who have been traders for generations, and they have a knack for crossing mountains with one hand, and what they often do is to use their family's knowledge of off-road to cross the mountains when the Wazok specialty is harvested, relying on the time difference to make huge profits. ......
...... McCardon's fortress was not open to anyone, especially when Ami was fighting Medas, so I couldn't make it to that dangerous fortress.
It is said that this fortress was the pride of Ami, and thanks to this fortress, Ami was able to keep the Medas in the south and secure the southern front. In addition, in the mountains west of Mercadone, there are many natural and easy-to-mine diamonds, which are first-class sharp weapons and alchemical materials, so they are much more important than Wazok in the west.
McAdon was not open, and it was difficult for us, and I followed the caravan as it prepared to climb over the mountains beside it. ......
...... Blessed by the stars, we managed to leave this mountain range before the first snow fell in 1486, leaving Ami, and then to the realm of Medas.
Chapter 16: The Amites
Along the way, I saw many ethnic groups of various faiths, not to mention the barbarians, but also civilized ethnic groups, such as the Hephis, the Romanhefis, the Hesfi, the Efonchi, the Finlays, etc., and a few months after I left Tonira, I met a new ethnic group, the Ami.
The Ami culture worshipped the sun, both the Ami and the northern Yorkdos. Actually, it seems to me that there is almost no difference between the Ami and the Yayoks, but God knows why, they claim to be two different races, maybe my discernment is not enough.
Compared to us, most of the Ami people have redder skin - I don't know why the sun doesn't blacken them every day, and most of the eyes are like crescent moons. ......
...... I find it strange that Ami, like Hephi, lost control of the leadership at some point and entered an era of unfettered war.
The era of war among the Ami people began more than 400 years ago and lasted for more than 100 years. Their war did not give birth to a unified government, but formed two regimes, Yoctaw and Finito, who fought for many years, and the final result was that Phinedo became the orthodox of Ami, and Yoctaw withdrew from Ami to form Yayoktor.
This distinction is too similar to the Heffians I have seen before, and the distinction between Heffis and Hesfe feels like a plot carved out of the same mill although they are different countries. ......
Chapter 17: Sunset and the Sun
...... The last day of 1486 was spent in the territory of Midas, worshipping the Midas of Sunset.
The so-called afterglow, according to their interpretation, is the first color that blooms when the sun first rises, or the last color when the sun sets, in short, it is the color of that moment, and they have written different interpretations for this afterglow, even the villagers can say that the head is the Tao, of course, I didn't understand.
Since Sunset is produced by the Sun, the beliefs of the Medas have a slight relationship with the Ami people, who say that Sunset is the essence of the sun, and the Ami people say that Sunset is the remnant of the sun, and no matter which side is in their religious theory, they find a theory that is superior to the other.
However, despite their similar religions, their language is still very different from that of Ami. Fortunately, with the contact between Midas and Ami more than forty years ago, the people of the two territories have come into contact with each other, and the Medas people are no strangers to those who speak an unfamiliar language, even if they are now at war, it does not prevent them from doing business with the Ami people. ......
Chapter 18: Manid-Seliti-Lina-Mavian
...... Compared to the cities I had walked before, Manid gave me the same feeling as Efonchi's Gome and Sivazi, without the same sense of history as Roman's Hefiuna, but it is understandable that the Medas have only established their country for more than 400 years, while Manid's has only pioneered the city for 100 years. ......
...... Even the most prosperous city of Medas, their capital, Seliti, gave me no more than that, not to mention our great Busuk, and even my hometown of Stin, the southernmost city in Goshogues, could compete with Medas.
In my opinion, Medas would not be able to win a war with Ami alone, and Ami's background in all aspects is far higher than that of Medas.
Even if Medas and Yajoctor declare war on Ami together, I have no confidence in the outcome of the war at all, unless there is also a Sushi miracle in Medas. ......
...... There are so many animals here in Mavian, and the animal husbandry is so developed, which has changed my opinion of Medas to a certain extent.
Mavian's Medas are fat, and it can be seen that they eat meat all day long, and the developed animal husbandry raises them for nothing, even the lowest untouchables don't worry about meat, but strangely enough, most of them have oral problems. ......
The herd of monsters that are bred here is a fat beast that looks very similar to the locals. I haven't seen this kind of monster, but if I had to make an analogy, maybe the camel beasts in the Spari Desert are seven or eight points similar to them, but the monsters here have a lot more meat than the camel beasts, and they look much more stupid. ......
...... The barbarians to the south of Mavian are no longer the familiar Rodins, but a race I have never seen before, and the Medas call them the Safissi.
It hurts to think about leaving the borders of Midas and continuing southward, not on a flat official road, but against the wild natural world. Not to mention, on the road from Afonci to Yayocto, I also had a serious illness that caused me to die and live, and it was painful to think about.
But in pain, we have to continue to walk, after all, we have promised,
Chapter 19: The Safisi Barbarian Territory
...... Sure enough, it is moving forward between these barbarians again, and the only thing that makes people happy is that the barbarians here know how to communicate and understand the power of civilization, because they have been in contact with the existence of the country, but God knows how long this situation can continue as my footsteps continue to go deeper, and I can only pray for the blessing of the star gods. ......
...... Compared to the Rodins, even the Safisi people in the interior who have not come into contact with the country seem to be so easy to communicate with, because they worship the strong, and with their fists they can make friends with passers-by.
The male leader quickly mingled with them and gained their friendship, and a few friendly Safisi guided us along the way, which saved us a lot of trouble. ......
...... It was terrible that the last day of 1486 had been spent in the wilderness, with no sign of civilization except for our troops, but I encouraged myself and led the leader of the caravan to dance and sing the song of my hometown.
Xingshen, hehe, I've been away from my hometown for many years, and I don't know if I'm dancing right, because I've never danced in my hometown, and I'm too young at that time......
...... The year 1487, the new year, is a good sign, and I hope that within this year, we will see the dawn of civilization and get out of the wilderness. ......
...... I feel like we're going to be exposed to a new country, yes, that's right, because the Safisi tribe here no longer believes in Sunset, but in smoke that I've never heard of, which means there's a land of smoke in the south......
...... On today's journey, our caravan was accidentally involved in a conflict between two tribes, but fortunately, with the superior strength of the leaders, we were able to resolve the conflict.
After asking why, I found that the two tribes fighting were both Safissi, and the difference was that one believed in smoke and the other believed in glow. The beliefs of the Safisi are different from the double god worship on the side of the Romanhephis, and their beliefs are hostile to each other, and they seem to have light with the civilization of the South, which is good news and means that there is indeed a formed state in the South......
