Chapter 35 Reflections on Political Speculation
After listening to Chagas's mental journey and the pie he painted, Andy found it almost unappealing.
After all, Kurisu is the current chieftain, and has maintained a good rule for many years, how can this be a coup d'Γ©tat by Chagas, who has been away from Blackfoot for many years, saying that a coup is a coup.
"So... Chagas, what are your plans, and what do you need me to do for you? You have to know that you have just come back to Blackfoot, although you say that you have a lot of supporters, but those are some past tenses and possibilities, you are a face born who is not much better than me, you have even repainted your feet black, if you want to raise your arms and re-ascend the throne, it is probably impossible. β
Andy is indifferent to Chagas's, and he wonders what Chagas really thinks.
Chagas was silent for a moment, then began to tell his plan firmly.
"Listen up Andy, my plan is to go straight to the public challenge."
"What do you mean by that?"
"In our Blackfoot tradition, if there is a boss dispute like the one now, then we will hold a duel between two competitors, testing the abilities of both sides in all aspects, and the one who can win the majority can become the chief, this is an ancient rule that everyone agrees on, and I will never refuse to propose this duel in my capacity."
"So what kind of duel are they?"
Chagas held out a hand.
"The first is of course a combat duel, the second is a stealth duel, and the last is a survival duel."
Andy could understand what the duel was, but he couldn't figure out the other two.
"Can you explain the last two?"
"It's very simple, the secret duel is in a wood, two people have to compete to see who reaches the end first to get something, in the process can not be discovered, nor can they be attacked by the other party.... The competition is the stealth ability of two people. β
"And another?"
"The survival duel is to stay in a dangerous jungle for three days and three nights, in this process, to ensure your survival and health, and at the same time not to be subdued by the other party, after three days and three nights, you still do not quit and the person who is in better condition can win, the test is the ability of people to survive in the wild."
"Best-of-three, right?"
"Yes."
Andy sat in his chair and groaned, he looked at Chagas's limbs like hemp rods because he had been trapped in the cage for a long time, although he had not seen Kurisu yet, but he was sure of one thing, that is, if it was really a fair match, Chagas would not have won at all.
"This ..... How are you going to be, you don't need me to remind you of your own odds, do you? β
Chagas actually looked very confident.
"Don't worry Andy, in three duels, I can guarantee that I will win one of them, that woman has always been inferior to me in stealth ability, and she will still be inferior to ..... The other two.... I'm not sure, I haven't been trained for so many years, my skills have deteriorated greatly, and I have almost forgotten the knowledge of how to move in the wild, so... Andy, I need you to help me, you have to accompany me in combat training or survival training in the rest of the time, as long as I can make sure to win one more game, I will win! β
Andy looked at this guy, all his self-confidence was not very steady, and the more he listened to this guy's plan, the more he felt that he was unreliable.
"Hmm... I know Chagas, will you allow me a moment to think about it? β
Chagas had a disappointed look on his face, but he reluctantly relented.
"Okay... But I hope Andy understands that I will tell you that these things are out of trust and expectation in you, and you must not leak things around.... That doesn't necessarily affect you. β
After casually saying goodbye to Chagas, he left Craig's residence.
Pip-boy has a new hint.
[New Mission: Chieftain Change]
[Description: Blackfoot Village has a little **, maybe you can choose one side to speculate to get benefits, but this requires some caution and wisdom]
[Optional: Support Challenger Chagas]
[Optional: Support the current Chief Kurisu]
Andy read this prompt message, and felt a little dilemma, on the one hand, the current chieftain who didn't know anything about it, and on the other hand, Chagas who was impassioned with him, maybe there are benefits to be gained by supporting either side, but which side should be supported?
"Hey, beep boy, what do you think about this?"
The machine on the left arm was silent for a moment before giving a brief answer.
[Don't forget if some of your own attitudes are in line with theirs]
Andy scratched his head, unable to figure out what that meant.
"Can you elaborate on it?"
There was no response......
After thinking about it, Andy decided to put the matter aside first, and then think about it and decide which side of the two sides should be helped.
When he returned to Galen's home, he found that the two of them were actually there chatting in a language he didn't understand before, and Galen actually looked very respectful, which was the first time in the world.
"What are you two talking about?"
Galen was taken aback, and laughed awkwardly there.
The hangman glanced at Andy, and said perfunctorily angrily: "Some old things that have nothing to do with you, you won't get any benefit if you know it, so I think it's better for you not to know, people should learn to restrain their curiosity." β
Andy rolled his eyes and didn't take him seriously.
He sat down next to Galen and wanted to know something else with him.
"Galen, I heard you're almost at a standstill here, what's going on?"
Galen got the steps and immediately took the initiative to change the subject.
"Ah, yes, isn't it, that damn Craig just won't do anything for me.... You know how we operate here, Andy, although you haven't been to the Forge Cave yet, and there happens to be a batch of metal to be sent over there tomorrow, why don't you do me a favor as an old man, I also saw the wine you brought before, and when you come back, I'll sell you the best price I can give you! β
Andy nodded, he didn't care about doing small tasks, he was on good terms with Galen, the funny old man.
"I've wondered why such a big Blackfoot Village can't find a few people willing to help you work, and even if Craig doesn't allow slaves to participate in smelting, why would those people in your village refuse to do this?"
Galen had a sullen look of embarrassment on his face.
"If you want to make weapons, you need metal, and all that scrap metal needs to be melted in the forge cavern, but the smoke produced in this process is unbearable.... So everybody's all gone, Andy, you'll see if you can fix this tomorrow, and if you can help solve it, the whole village will thank you. β
