Chapter Seventy-One: The Abolitionists
"So you get the idea, Elder Hardbones? If you don't believe in the authenticity of this thing, I can show you the way to the North Mountain to see for yourself, but I just don't know if you can climb up this leg and foot, you see that Kuaishou is so skilled that there will be accidents. ”
Elder Hardbone had been in a stuporous state for a long time, and Andy had shown him the diary information on the cassette tape, all of which seemed irrefutable, and the real tradition of Blackfoot seemed to be herding cattle rather than some slave trade, and that thing was later......
The other elders chattered in black-footed words to ask what the hard bones knew, and after a pause, the old men gradually fell silent.
After the die-hard delegates had subsided, the voices had largely subsided.
Kurisu nodded at Andy with satisfaction and declared the discussion over.
As the people gradually left the house, some people began to run to greet Andy and ask him where the relics of the Blackfoot ancestors he had found were located, but Andy had not hidden them, and he had taken all the valuable items except the garbage anyway.
When everyone had left, Andy walked over to Kurisu.
"Great, it's almost done now, right?"
Kurisu was silent holding a piece of papyrus, the handwriting on it was too messy for Andy to read.
"Whew.... Pretty much, I still need to inform everyone in Blackfoot about this, and I'll have to find a reason..."
Andy stood next to him for a moment, then suddenly leaned over and whispered.
"I thought Craig was supposed to be the representative of those guys, but I didn't expect him to support you so much in turn, why is that?"
Kurisu turned his head and glanced at Andy faintly.
"Because his handle is in my hand... And there's... He is the one who knows the weakness of Blackfoot Village best, most of the armed forces of Blackfoot Village will leave the village regularly, if the slaves find an opportunity to riot, the Blackfoot Village will be destroyed, this is what he has been worried about.... Finally, that ugly guy looked at me for a long time with something wrong. ”
Andy recalled Craig's appearance, although it was a little darker, but it was also considered to be strong and strong, why was it too ugly?
But then Andy thought of those Kurisu male favorites, and without exception, some of their faces were particularly exaggerated..... Could it be...
Glancing at Kurissu, Andy decided not to think about her aesthetics anymore, it is estimated that in her eyes, he is also the kind of man who looks like he is relatively good, and he has to have a little wonder on his face to get into her eyes.
It just so happened that Kurisu suddenly looked over.
"One thing comes to mind, did you find the bones of our ancestors in that ruin?"
Andy thought of Captain John, whose skull was half crushed by the stone, and his dog tag was still in his hand.....
"Of course, at the door of that ruin, the skeleton should be the recorder of the cassette I played earlier, that is, the Captain John Bloch, I guess he should be the first chief of Blackfoot Village, what do you want?"
Kurisu first sighed at the magic of pre-war technology, and then spoke her mind.
"I'm going to have a funeral to announce this change."
...........
Three days later, John Bloch's mutilated bones were brought down from the North Mountain, and the villagers of Blackfoot were told that a special funeral would be held to bury the ancestors found in Blackfoot.
The funeral was very grand, Andy saw the natives constantly playing some instruments that made sad music, and many people wearing strange masks dancing on the high platform, even Merlin rarely returned to his old business, with the help of medicine, he walked out of his shaman's house and wore shaman's clothes to preside over this strange funeral.
“ho——suao!”
I don't know what Merlin is shouting, but the villagers of Blackfoot Village are constantly drinking with excitement, and with the strange music made by the natives who are sweating profusely and playing strange instruments like drums and flutes, and the dancing natives who are like performance art, this big face is too big for Andy to understand.
The coffin containing the bones of John Bloch was lifted to a raised platform and closed again after the lid was opened and displayed in a circle.
Merlin stepped aside, and Kurisu stepped up to the stage and began to shout to everyone in Blackfoot what they had recently discovered, and what changes Blackfoot was going to make as a result, eventually putting a lot of things on the superstitious level, claiming that it was a manifestation of the ancestral spirit, that Blackfoot had strayed from his original course for too long, and that it was time to go back to the original direction.
Craig and Hardbone took the stage to stand behind Kurisu and said that her approach and statement were supported by most of the top brass of Blackfoot Village.
Andy is also mixed in it, anyway, it's just a platform, and he doesn't have to say anything himself.
Unexpectedly, after Kurisu finished speaking, he suddenly changed his mind and began to introduce Andy.
"I'm sure many of us already know an outsider friend, Andy, who has been trying to help all of us live a better life ever since he came to Blackfoot Village."
Some people waved at Andy, and when he saw that they were all the people he had helped, he recalled the scene when he first came here, and his heart was extremely complicated for a moment.
"We were able to find the remains of our ancestors and awaken to our ancestors' instructions this time, all because of his selfless help, in addition to this, he also helped us to become rich and powerful, I am sure everyone can understand at this moment, he is a friend of Blackfoot Village, a rare noble person for us.... To that end, I officially announce that Andy will make an exception to become an honorary Blackfoot member! ”
Andy giggled and waved to the audience.
Pip-boy came with a hint.
[Hint: Your reputation in Blackfoot Village has been raised to Worship, and you have been given the title: Honorary Villager]
Kurisu glanced at the draft, shouting a little dry, but the matter was not over yet.
"We have one more person to meet, and he's an old friend."
Kuresu beckoned behind him, and Chagas, wearing a gas mask, slowly walked up, took off his gas mask, looked around, and put the mask back on.
There were exclamations and sparse discussions from the crowd.
"Oh! Chagas? ”
"Is that him?"
"I haven't seen him in years..."
Chagas was silent.
"As you can see, this is none other than Chagas, the younger brother of our great former chieftain Ramon, who has just returned from outside, and many people don't know about it..... Now that he's back, I announce to you that he'll be back as Blackfoot's master craftsman to make weapons for Blackfoot Village, and beyond that..."
Kuresu glanced back at Chagas, who was a little puzzled.
"On top of that, he'll also be my deputy, Craig used to have to manage the hunting team and deal with the internal affairs of the village, which is too tiring, I'm sure you'll expect something from his brother's face."
Chagas looked at Kurisu in surprise, he thought that he would only be a blacksmith with no real power from now on.
Without waiting for the following discussion to subside, Kurisu made a summary of the ceremony.
"I declare that from this day forward, slavery will no longer be practiced in Blackfoot Village, and we will return to the track we once had as our ancestors guided, and we will change our relationship with the outside world and carry out normal trade exchanges..... At the same time, we will also sever our ties with the Legion and no longer hand over slaves every year for no reason.... Slaves, you will be free, you will be free. ”
Kurisu put down his speech and looked at the sun in the sky, the expression on his face seemed a little psychedelic.
A group of slaves who had just been escorted to the side had disbelief on their faces, and then began to cheer loudly.
"Long live Chief Kurisu!"
You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
