As far back as the Middle Ages, European wizards were aware of the existence of the Americas, and had many encounters with the magical groups of the indigenous peoples.

Such exchanges have also been maintained at a stage of relative peace and friendship.

But with the beginning of the Age of Discovery, the colonists brought guns, germs, and steel, and slaughtered the local natives, and peace turned to hatred.

Coupled with the emergence of the Purge, the relationship between European wizards and Native American wizards has also become delicate.

Of course, in this day and age, the Magical Congress of the United States has established a new order in the North American wizarding world, and the two sides can be regarded as living in harmony.

But in this remote area, Rove still stayed away from Native Americans and did not intend to come into contact with them.

It's just that the Indian girl knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed vigorously, which made him really unable to ignore it.

The boy had no choice but to stop the car, roll down the window, and ask:

"Excuse me, is there anything I can do to help you?"

Although Native Americans are called Indians, it is a collective term for all Native Americans except the Inuit, and does not refer to a single ethnic group or race.

Therefore, the language of the aborigines is different, and it is not an exaggeration to say a sentence with different sounds, and it is really difficult to communicate with them if they are not professionals.

Thankfully, the Indian girl could speak English, and although her accent was worse than that of Fleur, she could finally understand what she was saying.

"My name is Dana...... Some of our tribesmen have been poisoned...... Quite a few people have died...... Please...... Who can contact the therapist...... Save them......

Margaery sat in the passenger seat, her gaze fell straight into Dana's eyes, she examined it carefully, and said softly:

"Where are the witch doctors in your tribe?"

"After my mother died, I became a witch doctor." Dana trembled, "But I haven't seen that poison before, and I can't treat it."

Tears welled up from the corners of her eyes, dripping down her cheeks.

"Help me, save my people, I can do anything for you."

Margaery examined the girl meaningfully for a long time, and finally whispered to Rove, "She didn't lie."

Rove bowed his head slightly, breathing a sigh of relief.

Margaery can look through her memories and gain insight into people's hearts to determine if the other person is lying.

It can only be said that with such a natural master of the Regent by his side, it is convenient to do things.

"Hurry up and get in the car." Rove honked his horn and said, "I'm the therapist you're looking for."

Dana was taken aback and looked at the boy who was younger than her in astonishment, but eventually walked towards the jeep with tears on her face.

The girl sat in the back seat and suddenly noticed that the temperature inside the car was very low, as if the hot weather outside had been isolated into two worlds.

But that low temperature also stung her reddened skin.

Dana walked along the road for a day, the scorching sun and the scorching earth baking her skin like this.

Margaery took out the ointment and handed it to the girl, smiling kindly, "Your skin is sunburned, just apply this."

Dana took the ointment with gratitude, and it was then that she noticed Margaery's amazing beauty.

Guided by Dana, Rove drove off course and down the winding valley.

It's not without reason that Arizona is considered "the most Mars-like place on Earth."

The cliffs on both sides of the bank are full of red rocks, and there are towering red rock pillars standing under the pink sky, and the blazing wind blows the ground, rolling up grains of red coarse sand, which rattle on the jeep.

They eventually made their way through the deep valley, where a few low-rise buildings came into view, a small tribe of Native Americans with ochre-red houses.

Rove parked the car in the middle of the village, got out of the car, looked up, and saw a ...... Trapezoidal pyramids!

The entire pyramid has nine floors, trapezoidal on all sides, with a step leading to the top of the tower, and the highest level is a square altar.

The stone walls of the pyramid are carved with elaborate reliefs in the shape of magical creatures, which come to life and are decorated with gold and precious stones.

To the north of the pyramid, there is also a statue of a giant serpent covered in feathers, with a pair of wings, a stout body curled into the shape of the number 8, and its teeth clenching its tail.

It was Quetzalcoatl, a magical creature that had long been recognized as extinct by the wizarding community...... The Bird Serpent is a hybrid descendant of Quetzalcoatl and other magical creatures.

Not a single aboriginal was seen in the entire tribe, and under the leadership of Dana, they came to a huge wooden hut.

It turns out that the aborigines are all gathered here.

Rove had thought that only a few people were injured, but at least thirty people were lying in the house at this time, and more than a dozen people were taking care of the patients.

The air was filled with the smell of herbs, and smoke poured out of the furnace like an erupting crater, but unfortunately those smells did not hide the smell of death in the clearing.

As Rove walked towards the house, he had already caught a glimpse of three corpses, their faces hideous, with dark spots on their faces.

There was also a man who had just taken his last breath, and a woman who appeared to be his wife, was sobbing and crying on the corpse.

The appearance of Rove and Margaery undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention, and the Indians stared at them both intently.

Dana spoke to her people in the language of the aborigines, but they looked at Rove and Margaery with distrustful looks.

It's also normal, one of them is younger than the other, that is, two children...... There is no sign of reliability at all.

Rove didn't care, he walked over to the body that had just died, and took a closer look.

As a magizoologist, Rove has traveled with Newt over the years, seen many corpses, and even dissected many corpses in order to study pathology.

He knows a lot about the human body.

The boy quickly frowned, and whispered to Margaery:

"The blood will still flow after the corpse has just died. After that, it will clump into lumps, like thick jelly, but look at this corpse......

Margaery quickly understood what Rove meant, and the corpse seemed to have been dead for a long time, and the blood had curdled into black powder.

"And those corpses, Dana just said they've been dead for days." Margaery thought for a moment and wondered:

"In such a hot environment, they should have stinked a long time ago, but they didn't smell at all, and they didn't rot."

Rove frowned, he pulled out the goblin's dagger and gently slit the man's arm, a foul smell gushing from the wound, so strong that it was impossible to breathe.

"Looks like a symptom of eating snapdragons." Rove said softly.

At this moment, Dana ran up to a boy of four or five years old, took his hand, and cried, "Aru, are you awake?"

The boy had passed out and was dying.

Dana knelt down to Rove and Margaery, and she sobbed as she reluctantly said, "Can you save him, this is my brother."

Rove walked over to the boy, and there was a sudden "ding" in his brain.
