Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Worshippers
It took three days for the carriage to come to Senegal, West Africa!
After getting out of the carriage, from a distance, the unique style of the savannah jumped on it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAll kinds of carnivores and herbivores are full of them, and seeing Jiangning's herbivores is slightly vigilant and curious. Although the carnivore also looked at him vigilantly, it still had a hunting look in its eyes.
No, there was a lioness lying in the grass, approaching him little by little.
"Hehe, it's taken as prey!" Jiang Ning playfully looked at the approaching lioness, with her wand in her hand, and pointed at the grass where the lioness was. In an instant, a wide wall of fire enclosed the lioness inside. The sudden flames made the lioness frightened and panicked.
It constantly tries to break out of the fire, but its fear of fire makes it afraid to hit the wall of fire. Fear filled its lion's face, and it howled incessantly.
At this time, Jiang Ning saw the two little lions stumbling out of the grass where they were hiding, and they kept wailing and howling in front of the wall of fire.
"I can't eat lions!"
Shaking his head helplessly, with a touch of his wand, the wall of fire dissipated in an instant.
The lioness saw the wall of fire that surrounded it disappear silently, and its intelligence could not figure out why, so it ran away for the rest of its life. didn't dare to fight Jiang Ning's idea, all this was just an insignificant episode for Jiang Ning.
But his performance just now was clearly seen by several pairs of eyes in the dark.

Chase away nearby predators and park the wagon next to a balsam tree. Jiang Ning got out of the car and collected some rare plants nearby. In order to preserve these rare plants with different habits, he specially opened up a botanical garden. Let the house-elf fans take care of these delicate and precious plants every day.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Jiang Ning had dinner and lay on a rocking chair quietly watching the beautiful scenery of the sunset. The combination of work and rest these days has increased his mental strength by a few points. Learning new knowledge and combining it with what he has learned has strengthened his foundation a lot.
Living a fulfilling life every day is a way of learning and living a way of life that is different from the study when I was a student. Looks boring! Constantly learning the mysterious knowledge related to wizards, this feeling of revealing the mystery little by little makes Jiang Ning feel very satisfied.
"Huh?"
In the distance, Jiang Ning saw one fire after another flickering in the distance.
If you look at it, it's not like a forest fire, so you don't care about these things. He watched with great interest the beauty of the sunset, which belonged to West Africa, and after a while, he saw the light of the fire gradually approaching him. Only then did he get a little serious, and his eyes could clearly see a group of black men holding torches and walking towards him with great fanfare.
"What for?"
Blacks in this era are much more savage than in the 21st century. Unlike their descendants, there was no contact with modern civilization, although there were also quite a few black tribes in West Africa that gave birth to civilization. But overall, it is still barbaric and far behind.
After about ten minutes, this group of blacks finally came to Jiangning.
From this group of black people, an elderly black man dressed as a chief came out, and he came to Jiangning and talked about something. But unfortunately, Jiang Ning couldn't understand what he was saying. There are many ethnic groups in Africa, and these ethnic groups have many tribes, or even no tribes, and their languages are different.
As if he understood that Jiang Ning couldn't understand their language, the man dressed as a chief was babbling something to the people around him. Afterwards, several black men came to Jiangning with something wrapped in palm leaves. They opened the packages one by one.
Jiang Ning saw that it was wrapped in food, such as fruits and so on. There were also some parcels containing one gold item after another!
Subsequently, under the leadership of the chief, these blacks knelt in front of Jiang Ning and kept bowing. Keep talking about something!

"Butler, what are they doing here?"
"They're worshipping you, treating you like a god!"
Jiang Ning suddenly realized: "I see! "I remember seeing similar information on the Internet before, saying that at the beginning of the Great Voyage, the Indians first met white Europeans. White Europeans on horseback were considered gods, because there was no such thing as a horse in the Americas. So, when they saw the white man riding such a tall and majestic animal, they regarded the white man as a god. They were worshipped and worshipped, and food and gold were offered to please the 'gods', and as a result, gold aroused the greed of these original colonists. They began to massacre the Indians, taking their gold.
Also, the Inca Empire, which was entrenched in the South American continent at that time, was destroyed by more than 100 Spanish colonists! And the Indians, because they were still thousands of years ago, were horrified when they saw the muskets in the hands of the colonists! Think it's a weapon of the gods! Lost the will to resist! Otherwise, how could the Spanish colonists, who were only more than a hundred people, be wiped out, and the Inca Empire with such a vast territory?
āā
The same is true of these black men who are constantly kneeling down in front of them!
Their level of civilization was very low, and when they saw that Jiang Ning could easily command the flames, they naturally tied him to the gods on an equal footing.
Soon, Jiang Ning also thought of this problem.
He thought that he must have been seen by these black men when he cast a spell to scare the lioness, so they came to look for him.
Jiang Ning made a 'up' action against them, they didn't understand it at first, but Jiang Ning did it a few times again. Only then did they understand what Jiang Ning meant, and after getting up one by one, the chief kept saying something to Jiang Ning. And he pointed with his hand into the distance.
"They are inviting you to their tribe!"
"To their tribe? How can I have that spare time! Next, I'm going to cross the sea, across South America! Jiang Ning rubbed his chin, he had some thoughts in his heart, he needed to go to the American continent to find it. Moreover, the American continent is very large, with a vast area, and there are many rare herbs and plants and magical creatures. It's well worth it for him to collect and expand the variety scale of his botanical garden!
After the chief saw that he had sent out the invitation, the 'god' did not move! He was in a hurry, because he was in a hurry to say something. He also tried to touch Jiang Ning's body with his hands, but was bounced away by the distorted stance around Jiang Ning's body, this invisible power made everyone even more in awe of Jiang Ning.
They fell to their knees and kept talking.
āā
Jiang Ning was a little speechless: "Forget it, go take a look!" Maybe you'll find some rare plants, maybe not! With that in mind, he took the carriage away. Raise your feet and walk towards the place the chief is pointing.
When the black man lying on the ground saw it, he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
The chief quickly got up from the ground, and he ran a few steps in front of Jiang Ning. He spoke in a native language that Jiang Ning couldn't understand with an unusually respectful expression, and then he beckoned, and several sturdy black men immediately came to Jiang Ning's side with a simple and rough 'sedan chair' and stopped.
Jiang Ning understood this time, this was an invitation for him to take a sedan chair.
Looking at this palanquin covered with a layer of animal skin, which looked simple, rough and ugly, Jiang Ning raised his feet and sat down. After that, the chief shouted, and the four sturdy black men immediately lifted the sedan chair and walked towards their tribe.
