"You're really a smart guy, so we might as well be more honest in our conversation." Liu Zheng looked at him with a smile.

Haka clapped his hands knowingly, and after obtaining Raphael's permission, asked the villagers to take the sailors to the seashore for barbecue and dancing.

Of course, the sailors could not ask for it, and it was no fun to sit here and listen to the boatswain and the native chiefs chatting with prophecies they did not understand.

Soon only Rafael and the others were left in the field, as well as Haka and a few of his henchmen.

"So, distinguished guests, where are you from?" Haka's attitude remained respectful, but his head was no longer lowered.

"We come from the Kingdom of Portugal on the European continent, which is very far from your continent." Raphael's words were relayed by Liu Zheng.

"What are you here for?" Haka asked.

Raphael pondered the wording, and then asked Liu Zheng to relay it again.

"For my part, I'm just content to explore the unknown continent itself, but my men want to get rich."

Raphael's language was very straightforward, but Haka was very satisfied.

The thirst for wealth is common to all human beings, and the Native Americans often slaughtered cities and exterminated their tribes at the slightest disagreement, often for a gold mine or even a large piece of gem.

Greedy humans are better to deal with than desireless gods.

"Although our village is poor, we also have some treasures. In the endless jungle, there is countless gold, silver and precious stones. As long as you are willing to accept our offerings, Baini Village will do our best. 'Haka was very generous.

"So, what is your purpose?" Liu Zheng didn't grasp the loophole in Haka's words, and asked directly.

"We just want to beg the gods for protection." Haka told why.

It turned out that there was a large tribe in the jungle that was competing with other tribes for water, and in order to get more combat power, they asked Baini Village to join several times, but Haka refused.

Later, the big tribes did not compete for water sources smoothly, and in order to vent and kill chickens and monkeys, some people wanted to attack Baini Village.

According to Haka's acquaintances in that tribe, this idea has taken over.

Haka also thought about escaping, but this place was already the most remote and barren place he had found, and even basic food was difficult to secure in the worst places.

In order to maintain the stability of the village, he did not announce the news, and his face had to remain as if nothing had happened, in fact, he was already extremely anxious in his heart.

At this moment, Raphael and his party came, which was tantamount to him seeing a clear spring in a man who was dying of thirst.

"How many of them are there?" Raphael asked.

"The Gravel Tribe has a population of more than two thousand and more than five hundred warriors, but they send more than two hundred warriors to attack us at most." Haka's data is very detailed, as a small tribe that survives in the cracks, intelligence is life.

More than two hundred, that's not a big problem, when the time comes, let the villagers of Baini Village lure the enemy to the vicinity of the "Legend", and a round of artillery salvo will be almost enough.

Raphael had heard a lot of similar things, and the natives with all kinds of weapons rushed to the colonial army like a tidal wave, and then as soon as the cannon sounded, they fell down and begged for mercy, and even died of fright on the spot.

Gunpowder weapons crush cold weapons, and artillery is no different from Tianwei for these natives who have not even mastered metal smelting technology.

From a moral point of view, helping the weak resist the plunder of the strong is also in line with Raphael's education.

From the perspective of interests, if they want to explore the New World smoothly, they also need such a weak indigenous power as an ally.

"Yes, when the time comes, you will lure the enemy to our ship, and I will have a way to deal with them." Raphael asked Liu Zheng to relay.

He was born in the aristocracy, and he has been a captain for so long, and he already has the bearing of a superior person when he speaks.

Hakabe's ability is average, but his eyesight has been tested in survival for a long time, and it can be seen at a glance that Raphael is full of confidence.

"Thank you for your mercy, Bai Ni Village will surely give you everything we have." Haka danced with joy.

He did what he said, and summoned the villagers on the spot to announce that the Gravel Tribe was coming to attack the village.

The villagers panicked at first, but when they heard that the men of God who had come on a large boat were willing to help them, they immediately cheered again.

Under Haka's leadership, all the villagers plucked their gold, silver, and jade artifacts and offered them to Raphael.

Some villagers didn't take it off at once, and when they saw that others had made offerings first, they were so anxious that they took a knife to cut off the part where they were wearing jewelry.

Frightened, Raphael hurriedly stopped it, and announced that the worship was not in the morning or evening, and it was not much, which stopped this unhealthy trend of comparison.

After all, he grew up in the civilized world, and he didn't know how crazy people could do to please the gods.

For example, the Aztec Empire, the overlord of Central America, was famous for its human sacrifice.

Human sacrifices are usually held during the monthly rituals, and sacrifices to different gods are handled differently.

No one other than the priest would be involved in the killing, but there would be a large number of bystanders, even if the bystanders themselves were sacrificed.

In some sacrifices, the victim would drink psychedelic drugs, such as obsidian knife water (possibly tequila with other herbs such as morning glory, tobadamama, mandala, psilocyb), and yotri (possibly powdered marigolds) for festive effects or courage.

The process of preparing for the sacrifice is actually quite complicated, and it is not just a random killing meeting, and many of the sacrifices (sacrifices) of the festival have to go through a long period of training in order to play a good role in the ceremony and achieve the purpose of the festival.

Some sacrifices are rehearsed several times before they are offered, and especially precious sacrifices can be cultivated for up to a year.

When the ritual begins, the sacrificer steps to the top of the temple and lies on the altar, his limbs pressed by the other priests, and a special priest cuts open his heart and pulls out the beating heart.

The heart was offered to the sun god, and the body was thrown from the pyramid to be brought back by the group offering the sacrifice to be dismembered and eaten.

Some of the sacrifices were tied tightly and roasted in the fire, and finally the remnants of the corpse were pulled out and sacrificed in dissected hearts.

Such sacrifices were usually offered to the god of fire. Since the sacrifice suffers greatly, the face is sprayed with the Yotri to alleviate the suffering.

Other sacrifices were tied to a large stone platform and equipped with non-damaging weapons, and the four Mexican warriors were fought to the point of exhaustion.

These sacrifices also play the role of gods, carry out a series of celebrations, and are finally beheaded.

Offerings to the god of water or rain were made by children, dressed up in sedan chairs and paraded through the streets, and finally their throats were slashed with a knife and offered to the god of rain as blood-spattered corn flowers.

In addition to celebrations, a large number of human sacrifices are also performed on some big days, such as the accession of the new emperor to the throne and the completion of large-scale projects.

It is said that 20,000 people were sacrificed at the inauguration of the Great Temple.

The Aztecs were so obsessed with human sacrifice that people who were different in clothing, language, customs, and other were considered reserve victims, and even when the sacrifices were insufficient, their own people who had committed serious crimes were used as sacrifices.

The Aztec Emperor Montezuma I even initiated the War of Crowns, often provoking disputes with the surrounding tribes, in order to obtain a large number of sacrifices from Tlaxcala, Huejosingo, and Quelula.

Legend has it that they asked the king of Kurwagan for a marriage, but the princess was sacrificed, and the Kurwagans and the Aztecs continued to fight until they were finally wiped out.

After the destruction of Ramacat, almost all the nobles and priests were captured by the Aztec army, and then their hearts were dug up alive on the altar of the Great Pyramid in the city of Tenochtitlan to sacrifice to the gods.

This is the main reason why the Ramakat people quickly split after fleeing south.

Although the Ramakats do not have a tradition of human sacrifice, judging by their fanatical expressions, if Raphael asked them to sacrifice their hearts, they would probably have plunged a stone knife into their chest on the spot.

Of course, Raphael would not do this, and his moral character is a gentleman even in modern times.

The enshrined treasures filled the straw mat in front of Raphael, and precious metals and precious stones shone in the sun.

This brilliance is enough to turn a man into a devil, to turn a devil into a man, to make the most upright people take risks, and to make a nation carry out an exterminating massacre against a people.

These treasures could buy at least one small estate in Lisbon, and even if they were divided among the crew members, they would be a lot of money.

And don't forget, this is just the harvest of a small fishing village.
