Since Arum knows about coal, you should have asked him earlier, in fact, when you are looking for something, it is best to ask the locals, you are not familiar with the place in an unfamiliar environment, and it will definitely be difficult to find something, if you ask the locals, it will be twice the result with half the effort. 【 High Quality Update 】
Listening to what Arum said, it shows that the coal resources in this place are very rich, but he has spent a lot of time and manpower looking around, Xiao Ming really regrets it, but there is no regret medicine to take in this world, in this case, now just let Arumu take someone to get some coal, this finally solves the problem of the entire camp.
After convincing Arumu, Xiao Ming formed a team on his own, this time the team was not an expedition, but to visit the Grizt Kingdom, so there was no need to be elite, many sailors and technicians could become members of the team, and many tiger guards were left behind to protect the camp.
Since there was no means of transportation, each member of the team carried a large backpack filled with table salt, which was used to carry coal later, and after preparing to stop, the team entered the valley from the coastal area under the leadership of Arum, and headed towards the mountains.
In the mountains, the road is very rugged, this section is full of mountain roads, it is very difficult to walk, and when you get out of the mountains, it is already the third day, and then there is an endless primeval forest, and the capital city of Grizt was established next to a river outside the valley of the Grizt Kingdom.
It was a difficult process to walk through the entire primeval forest, the beach where Xiao Ming landed was basically overseas and inaccessible to people, and there were many lakes and swamps in the primeval forest, if there was no Arum to lead the way, I am afraid it would be very difficult for the tiger guards to find the way.
The products of the whole primeval forest are very rich, Alimu knows at least more than half of the fruits that can be eaten, plus he can also hunt, the whole team is very relaxed, everyone has a smile and a joke, except for the necessary sentry at night to guard against wild beasts, everyone sleeps very steadily.
Six or seven days later, they finally walked out of the primeval forest, at the edge of the forest, Xiao Ming and they met a relatively large tribe, although this tribe did not know Prince Arum, but it was very friendly to Xiao Ming and these outsiders, although the warriors of the tribe were very nervous, but with such an interpreter as Arumu, everything was easy to solve.
The old people, women and children in the tribe looked curiously at this team dressed strangely, and a burly old man walked out to block Xiao Ming's way, he said something loudly, Xiao Ming was confused, so he had to turn his head to look at Arumu.
Arumu's face was very ugly, and he translated to Xiao Ming: "The old man is the chief of the tribe, and he warned the explorers from the forest that further on is the territory of the Grizt Kingdom, where the people are very unfriendly, I hope we can turn back!" ”
Of course, Xiao Ming would not look back, so he had to say to the old chief through Arum: "We are friendly friends, because we have to go to find something very important, so we can only live up to the old chief's kindness!" ”
Then he took out a packet of salt and gave it to the old chief, the old man looked confused, looking at Xiao Ming without knowing why, Xiao Ming had to gesture at him, meaning that it was okay to eat, and told him: "A little, a little!" ”
As the old man grabbed a little salt and put it in his mouth, his expression first showed a look of surprise, and then he was very happy to say something loudly, so a few other old men in feather clothes came over and tried to taste the bag of salt, so they chatted very lively!
Arumu whispered to Xiao Ming: "They say that the people of our Grizt Kingdom are not friendly, this is simply a kind of prejudice!" ”
Xiao Ming asked him, "So what are they talking about now?" ”
"They seem to be talking about prophecy or something!" Arum Road.
Then the old chief came over and nodded at Xiao Ming, opened his arms, and then hugged him, just touched his nose with him, Xiao Ming knew that this was their etiquette, and it was not surprising! Instead, he smiled and clenched his fist at the old chief, and then bowed, he wanted to show his etiquette.
The old man opened his mouth and smiled happily, so the whole tribe was laughing, the women covered their mouths and laughed, and the children giggled, and then drilled between the legs of the adults, and curiously surrounded Xiao Ming's team, and the sailors and craftsmen in the team saw that there was no danger, and their expressions relaxed.
Xiao Ming, as the leader, was invited to sit in the chief's tent, and Xiao Ming took Arumu, An Daoquan and Gu Guo to go together, and they were honored guests when they sat in the tent! Xiao Ming finally drank the legendary Indian's sour fruit wine, which was really unacceptable.
The old chief took out a short wooden stick, then lit it on the bonfire, inhaled sharply and smoked through his nose, and handed the pipe to Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming knew that this was inviting him to smoke, so he took it and took a puff gently, which was extremely spicy! He nodded, spit it out lightly, and returned it.
But the old chief thought that An Daoquan next to him also smoked, An Daoquan just saw Xiao Ming take a puff, and it seemed to be fine, so he thanked him, grabbed the pipe and took a big puff, but he was choked and coughed loudly, and the chief and the tribesmen in the tent all cracked their mouths and laughed happily, and the whole atmosphere became relaxed and happy.
Xiao Ming took the opportunity to inquire about the affairs of the Grizt Kingdom, as long as he wanted to ask how much distance there was, the chieftain of the tribe frowned and told him, Arumu frowned while listening, but he still translated it to Xiao Ming, it turned out that the Grizt Kingdom has been very unpeaceful recently, and it seems that there is a war.
It is unknown who the two sides of the fight are, but both sides need a large number of slaves, so they will go to some tribe at the edge of the forest to catch slaves! For this reason, the entire tribe has migrated from the slopes to the edge of the forest, and for this time no one has been willing to go to the capital of the kingdom of Grizt.
Getting this news is not good news for Xiao Ming and Arumu, and for Arumu, what happened to his kingdom in a short period of two years will make both sides fight? This made him anxious, and he wanted to hurry back to see what was going on.
For Xiao Ming, the instability of the power of this Grizt kingdom will inevitably cause his visit to be ineffective, so it is difficult to say whether he can obtain the coal that he urgently needs, which makes him have to carefully consider his next move.
In a prudent consideration, Xiao Ming and An Daoquan discussed, and felt that they could not directly break into the Grizt Kingdom so directly and rashly, and they also brought so many sailors and craftsmen who had no combat effectiveness, so they decided to stay for the time being.
Then send someone to inquire about the situation first, but Arumu can't wait anymore, he needs to go back to see the situation in a hurry, Xiao Ming finally decided to leave half of the people in the tribe to rest for a while, and he took more than 200 tiger guards and Arum to Grizt City together.
Xiao Ming persuaded Arum that he had to dress up first, because the current situation in the kingdom is unknown, in order to ensure safety, it is better not to let anyone know that Arum as a prince has returned for the time being, this suggestion, Arum was reluctant to accept it at first, but after Xiao Ming analyzed the form with him, he finally accepted.
From the perspective of security, Xiao Ming is ready for foolproof, the tiger guards are fully armed, and the mortars in their bags are also taken out, for this world, Xiao Ming is a well-deserved king, he is now in a foreign land, in a new world, he doesn't want to take the initiative to bully anyone, but if he is threatened, he does not rule out the use of force.
The warriors of the army bid farewell to the chieftain's tribe and continued towards the city of Grizt, and after crossing a steep valley, a meandering river flowed in the distance towards the lower place on the opposite side, and in less than half a day, a majestic city finally appeared before everyone's eyes.
The city was built on a stone mountain, many of which were hewn out of stone, densely scattered, Arum told Xiao Ming that this mountain was called Apisgon, and on the top of the whole mountain was a flat and wide flat land, and the outer cities and the capital city on the top of the hill together formed the city of Grizt!
When you look closer, you find that the whole city was basically built by hand, and there are many rooms carved into the outer walls of the city with a large number of stones, and a wide road leads to the top of the mountain, and the roads at the foot of the mountain lead in all directions, many leading to the distance and the sea, and the foot of the mountain is mainly farmland!
The fields are planted with crops that are unique to the Indians, and Xiao Ming knows almost all of them, corn fields and potatoes are what he needs, and then there are many crops that are not currently available in China, such as pumpkins, peppers, tobacco, tomatoes, sunflowers, cocoa, etc., and corn, potatoes, peppers, and tobacco are grown in large quantities.
In this way, in addition to coal, Xiao Ming can still get a lot of things, which makes him think more in his heart, in today's world, in addition to Asian rice and wheat crops around the world, corn and potatoes as the staple food of human beings will be accepted by humans in many regions in the future.
In the great migration plan he is currently preparing to implement, to expand the scope of crop cultivation in the entire Western Regions, corn and potatoes are undoubtedly the best choices, and one more is chili, thinking of this Xiao Ming's innermost part can't help but shed a lot of saliva, he thinks of those spicy delicacies in the future!
Now it looks like I've come to the right place in the Americas! As the procession continued, Xiao Ming's mind flew away, and no one else knew what he was thinking, and the tiger guards had no choice but to keep walking towards the huge city of Grizt without his order, which also aroused the shock and curiosity of the residents of this city when they suddenly saw them.
There were more and more onlookers, Xiao Ming was finally disturbed by the chaotic sounds around him, he saw the current situation, and there was no other way, just to ask Arumu, is there a large market and trade market in the city? This one does, Arum told him.
Since this is the case, Xiao Ming thought about it, and for the time being, he would not contact the people in power in this city and the kingdom, and go to the bazaar trade market first to see if he could get some grain and crop seeds first.
So he asked Arum to take them to the bazaar and the trade market first, but the bazaar was on the top of the hill, and to get to the top of the hill it was necessary to pass through an arched stone gate, and there were soldiers of the kingdom with weapons and spears, and the onlookers of the people in the royal city finally alarmed the soldiers in the city, and they gathered a group of people and ran quickly, the leader of the fellow with four-colored feathers on his head, and a wooden stick and spear.
He ran over with someone to take a look, and he was also surprised, but when he looked at Arumu, he suddenly shouted something to the soldiers behind him, Xiao Ming looked at Arumu strangely and said, "What are they talking about?" ”
"I think they might recognize me! Arum said, "There may be trouble now!" ”
