Chapter 129: Parting Ways
Five days later, Liu Zheng was silently piling up the pyre.
There seemed to be a huge shadow hanging around him, and neither the people of the "Legend" nor the villagers of Baini Village dared to approach him.
Only Raphael, equally silent, holding a torch and standing aside.
In the end, only 3 of the 60 villagers survived.
The Indians, like the ancient Chinese kingdom, were all burials, but in order to prevent the spread of the plague, Liu Zheng had to cremate their remains.
Chief Haka did not survive either, and when he was dying, he grabbed Liu Zheng's hand and said that he had no resentment, and only asked Liu Zheng to let the inheritance of the Baini clan continue.
He told Liu Zheng that there was another branch of the White Clay tribe on the other side of the jungle.
That branch was scattered in the run, and now it is not as good as Baini Village.
The two branches have always wanted to converge, but they have been hindered by other tribes.
He hoped that Liu Zheng would bring the branch to Baini Village, and then protect them until he could protect himself.
Liu Zheng agreed to him, and then the clever and ambitious chief died.
The pyre was stacked, and Raphael shoved the torch to the bottom.
Because of the amount of grease, the fire rose so fast that the flame head was almost higher than that of a coconut tree.
The surviving people of the White Clay did not look particularly sad, and seemed to really believe that the dead would enter the heavens of the gods.
Or, they force themselves to believe.
"I want to leave this continent." Raphael said suddenly, and the light of the fire shone on his face, flickering and dimming.
"You don't want to be a great navigator anymore?" Liu Zheng said calmly.
"The captain who brought the colonization and the plague is just an executioner, there are still many civilized places in this world that I have not visited, and there are many secret places that no one has, and I can also fulfill my dreams." Raphael firmed.
"Of course you will. But I can't go with you, and I promised Hakka to protect his people. Liu Zheng said.
"I respect your decision, that thing is left to you, I hope it will come in handy." Raphael gave him a hug and turned away.
Liu Zheng was left alone standing between the dead Baini people and the living Baini people, like a god who brought destruction and rebirth at the same time.
Two days later, the "Legend" was ready to set sail.
Liu Zheng first said goodbye to Gertrude and Anna, and then walked to the heart of the wolf.
He took out the Closing Bow, the Horned Eagle Knight's quiver, the Troll's Ring, and the St. George's Banner, and handed them all to her.
"I'm sorry, I'll just order props."
Liu Zheng felt very sorry, he made a mess of the good trait upgrade task, and he was a wolf's heart, and his heart was already on fire.
Coupled with the previous promise, Liu Zheng had no choice but to take out all the props to make amends.
In addition to Tong Ziche, if you want to fulfill your promise to Haka, you still have to have a good weapon.
The Closing Bow and the Horned Eagle Knight quiver are the best combination of A-level props, and they should be able to make up for the loss of the Wolf's Heart.
"Idiot." The heart of the wolf has five fingers together, and the willow leaf palm is in the heart of Liu Zheng.
He was caught off guard by this yin energy, and his chest throbbed.
"For the next mission, all the proceeds will be mine." With that, she went to the deck in two steps, as if she didn't bother to say another word to the idiot.
"A strong man deserves to be a strong man, and it is indeed atmospheric." Liu Zheng touched his chest and sighed, admiring the demeanor of the senior player.
"Idiot." Jack sighed and left.
"What an idiot." Flio sighed and left.
"Mr. Wallace is such a big idiot." Anna sighed deeply and left.
With the afterglow of the setting sun, the "Legend" faded away, and finally it was no longer visible.
"Warning, the choice of the main character, Raphael, has changed significantly, and the plot mission has changed."
"The current story mission is: to help Raphael complete more than 3,000 nautical points, and each ruin or region rewards a different number of points. The current number of points is 0/3000. ”
This is going around the world, but it is very much in line with Raphael's idea, that is, the heart of the wolf is going to be irritable, Liu Zheng couldn't help but smile.
From what he observed, she didn't seem to like boating.
"The player triggers a hidden mission: God of Prophecy to help the Aztecs unify Central America before the Dead Sea is unblocked, or unify Central America on their own. There are still 90 days left until the Dead Sea is lifted. ”
"Mission Reward: Proof of the Overlord"
Here's another hidden mission, isn't the proof of the overlord a special reward? That's not right.
If the Dead Sea is lifted, it will mean that European seafarers will swarm like stinking flies.
And they are obviously not going to give up the great opportunity to discover the New World, as Raphael did.
In the real-world year of 1518, some Spanish colonists spied on the coast of Mexico to find out some information about the Aztec Empire.
The Spanish governor in Cuba, Velázquez, was so impressed with this paradise of gold that he decided to send his brother-in-law, Hernán Cortés, as his captain to conquer Mexico.
Cartés came from a small aristocratic family, but was not allowed to inherit the family domain and title because he was not the eldest son.
He has a cunning and cruel personality, but he is very action-oriented and a complete careerist.
Upon receiving this order, Cortés immediately gathered his men and poured all his possessions into the expedition.
His brother-in-law, Velázquez, saw his ambition and feared that Cortés would be too much to control once he was full-fledged, so he withdrew his order, but Cortés ignored it and forced his way out to sea in February 1519.
After landing on Cortez, he quickly defeated the Indians who were resisting along the Mexican coast and obtained an Indian woman.
The woman was the daughter of an Aztec chieftain who knew Mayan and Aztec languages and later converted to Catholicism and took the name Marina.
She had a very good aptitude for prophecy and soon learned Spanish again, becoming Cortés' translator during his conquest.
In April 1519, Cortés sailed north along the coast and arrived two days later in the territory of the Aztec kingdom.
The Aztec king, Montezuma II, had already known of his whereabouts, so he sent some Indian chieftains along the way to provide Cortés with food and lodging, as well as gold and various gifts, hoping to prevent Cortés from invading Tenochtitlan.
But instead of eliminating Cortez's plans to attack, these gifts fueled his ambitions to invade the Aztec Empire and his desire to plunder his possessions.
On November 8, 1519, Cortés entered Tenochtitlan in dignity and was welcomed by the Aztecs.
Upon entering the city, the Spaniards captured King Montezuma II under the pretext that several Spaniards had been killed by the Aztecs, and plundered a large amount of treasure in the basement of his palace.
In 1520, during a religious event of the Aztecs, the Spanish killed the Aztecs, and the Aztecs rebelled, and they surrounded the Spanish station.
Cortés sent Montezuma II to pacify the populace, and during the chaotic rally, Montezuma II was hit by a stone thrown by the angry populace and was mortally wounded.
Soon, news of Montezuma II's death spread that the Spaniards claimed that he had died of his wounds, while the Aztecs preferred to believe that the Spaniards had killed their emperor, a news that infuriated the Aztecs outright.
On the night of June 30, 1520, Cortés led the Spaniards to abandon the city and flee to Tacuba, but many of the Spanish soldiers were drowned or captured by the Aztecs because of the excess gold they carried.
On April 28, 1521, the Spaniards and their allies began their final siege.
After a long siege and the death of much of the population from starvation and smallpox, on 13 August 1521, Emperor Cuauchtémoc finally surrendered to the Spanish army of 500 men of Celtez the Conqueror and 200,000 allies of Tlaxcala.
On February 26, 1525, he was hanged by the Spaniards, and the population of the empire rapidly dropped from 15 million to 3 million due to various infectious diseases, and the capital of Tenochtitlan was burned to the ground.
The Azic Empire, which had flourished and overpowered all of Central America, came to an end.
Of course, the Aztec Empire of this world is still alive and well, and it still overwhelms the surrounding tribes.
But as soon as the Dead Sea is unblocked, European careerists like Cortés will come as many as they want.
Superstition will still lure them into the house, the plague will still spread, and the Tlaxcala tribe, with whom they have a centuries-old blood feud, will not hesitate to join the colonizers' camp just to destroy the enemy.
Historical materialism holds that the development of history has its own laws, and that the result will be inevitable if the objective conditions do not change.
What Liu Zheng wants to do is to use it as a major variable to change the objective conditions of Central America and make the original history deviate.
He had no affection for the Aztecs, who were fond of human sacrifice, and decided to choose to unify Central America on his own.
In the opinion of Liu Zheng, who has unified the Pande Continent, the difficulty is not too great.
Although he didn't have the blessing of the attribute panel, the strength of the Aztecs was not even as good as that of the Misty Mountain robbers.
In addition, he also has the blessing of being a god, and it is not a problem to collect the remnants of the Ramakat Kingdom based on the White Clay tribe, and then unite with the Tlaxcala tribe to destroy the Aztec Empire.
Not to mention, Liu Zheng also has the treasure left to him by Raphael, a set of well-forged full-body plate armor and ten muskets.
What Cortez guy can do, there's no reason why Liu Zheng can't do it, it's just that time is a little tight.
All of them have to be fast.
He gathered the remaining members of the White Clay tribe, gave them muskets and ammunition, and demonstrated how to use them.
When the musket slammed into the coconut tree for demonstration, the white clay sat on the ground in fright, thinking it was a thunderbolt summoned by the gods.
But when they learned that they had been given all this, they immediately fell into ecstasy and gratitude.
With the leadership of God-men and the weapons of God, they can overcome any enemy.
Liu Zheng was not so optimistic, these muskets only gave them some self-preservation and boosted their confidence.
If you really fight, you still have to rely on Liu Zheng himself.
The use of rifled muskets is not very complicated, and the Baini people are a priest clan, and their intelligence and knowledge are higher than those of ordinary natives, so they can be used in more than an hour.
Having learned how to use a musket, it's time to find the branch of the White Clay Clan.
But until then, there's one more thing to do.
