Chapter 81: Secret Agent

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

King T'Chaka wanted to say this, but in the face of the deterrent power brought by Leon, he could only hold it in his heart and stare dryly.

Not only him, but even the other tribal nobles who had just struggled to get up from the ground were full of confusion.

According to the ancient legends passed down by word of mouth, and the remnants of historical texts, they all illustrate the glorious tradition of the Wakanda people who love peace - in ancient times, the vibranium metal that fell on the African continent caused a protracted war like a burning plain, and countless years later, the inhabitants of various tribes who had been bloodied in the war finally chose to live together peacefully and jointly established the Kingdom of Wakanda.

Among them, there is no mention of the black history of the five major tribes, let alone any content that interferes with the tragic fate of Africa.

"Hehe, history is like a jumble of giant puzzle pieces, and those legends and historical materials that have been submerged in the long river of time are like isolated puzzle pieces.

Without outstanding historical skills, logical reasoning, and tireless scientific research spirit, it is difficult to find out the law. ”

"Let's start with the border tribes of Wakanda. Combined with its unique language, it is not difficult to guess that the border tribes of Wakanda should have the same blood as the Basutuo and Zulu tribes in southern Africa today.

At this point, you shouldn't have any problems, right? ”

"Wow, Your Excellency Leon, your familiarity with African culture is impressive, and apart from professional scholars, outsiders can name one or two differences, and they are already considered talents."

The leader of the border tribe mentioned by Leon was a black man named Wakabi, who was not good-looking, and after hesitating for a moment, he chose to nod and added: "The Basutuo and Zulu tribes in southern Africa are the ancestors of the Sotho people in southern Africa.

We do have some things in common with the Sotho people, but the history of hundreds of years and thousands of years of development has made us very different from them.

There is no problem with separating it separately. ”

This 'Kab, who was a good friend of Prince T'Challa since he was a child in the "Black Panther" movie, and his wife is also the captain of the royal women's guard, which can be said to be the mainstay of the kingdom.

However, because Wakabi's parents died in a vibranium robbery by Ulysses Crow more than a decade ago, Wakabi was hostile to the outside world, which led Wakabi to be seduced by Eric's ideas and choose to betray T'Challa and lead the border tribes to rebel.

After hearing Wakabi's words, Leon shook his head and said with a chuckle: "Today's Sotho people, the African highland residents of the Special Command Department, basically still maintain the traditional customs of hundreds of years ago, and there is not much difference.

The language spoken by the Sotho people is the Sotho language of the Bantu language family, which has no written form and includes Tswana, Petti, and Sesutuo, but the difference between the three is only due to minor grammatical differences in the translation of Sotho into written language by Western missionaries.

After analyzing the historical texts, statues, murals, and grammars left behind by the border tribes of Wakanda today, I can basically conclude that the time point when the border tribes split from the Soto tribe was around 200 BC.

What happened at that time? The mountain and Khoi people, as well as a descendant of the Bantu people who migrated from central and eastern Africa, came into contact in southern Africa, intermarried, and formed the Soto ethnic group in 900 AD.

Going backwards, it is not difficult to find that the ancestors of the Bantu people from the Middle East and Africa, who speak Bantu, are the ancestors of the present-day Wakanda border tribes in 200 BC.

According to this line of thinking, the ancestors of the Bantu people, the earliest border tribes, were slaughtered in the battle for vibranium, and some of them insisted on staying near the vibranium meteorite to continue the war, while the other part of the Bantu people chose to migrate south and came into contact with the mountain people and the Khoi people, giving birth to the current Soto people.

That's why today's Sothos have so much in common with the border tribes – they share ancestry. ”

The content of Li Ang's statement made many border tribe nobles have a confused and dazed expression on their faces, and it is really shameful that these Wakanda residents who do not know how to herd sheep still need outsiders to identify and analyze the entire process of recognizing their ancestors and returning to their ancestors.

"Since the birth of the Soto people in 900 A.D., due to the local geographical conditions, while maintaining the original culture, it has also led to the fact that the advanced production methods from the outside world have not been able to enter the southern Soto Mountains.

At the beginning of the 19th century, when tribal wars broke out in southern Africa, the southern Sotho tribe migrated to the top of Tababuxiu Mountain in Lesotho in 1824 under the leadership of Moshua I, and after more than ten years of recuperation, Mosushu I proclaimed the establishment of the Kingdom of Lesotho - although the kingdom became a Commonwealth colony in 1871, it still survived as a whole, and its citizens are still proudly called the sons of Mosushu today.

However, if you study carefully, you can find that Mo Shushu I is a person, and his fortune trajectory can be called a strange time. ”

Leon's gaze swept over the ignorant Wakanda nationals in front of him, and finally stopped on the face of the old king of T'Chaca, "Moshoeshoe I was just a lowly cattle thief, and his name itself Moshoeshoe is derived from the onomatopoeia, which means 'brush' when stealing cattle.

But it was such a little-known cattle thief, after a meeting with the Sotho chiefs of the South African highlands, who suddenly began to rise to prominence, climbed from the common class to the high position of the Grand Chief, and went back and forth between the British and Dutch colonizers to form the Kingdom of Lesotho.

On his tombstone, his own famous words are engraved in the Sesuto language, 'Lelinyane la motho le lieha ho phapha,'

Translated, 'The difference between man and animal is that man needs more time to master the skills of life and being human.' ’

This sentence also appears in the historical texts of the Wakanda border tribes, who are good at raising animals.

From this point of view, Mo Shushu I's fortune process is inseparable from the border tribes, and he is even likely to be a puppet sent by the border tribes outside. ”

What Leon said made the leader of the border tribe, Wakabi, even more confused, and hurriedly shouted: "Our border tribe has always been simple and down-to-earth, and the matter of sending spies has never been related to us, and the only thing that really interferes in it is..."

"Only the royal tribe will send spies to the outside world."

King T'Chaka added, expressionlessly.
