Swimming down the river through the rolling hills and valleys, Lawrence and his party soon fell atop a gentle river.

Lawrence looked back at the one-meter-high stream behind him, "This place can only be explored from upstream, and it's winter, so how can ordinary people have time to climb up." ”

Saliel leaned on the plank and said, "Five times in total, not much." ”

Sophia sensed something and quickly reminded: "There's something underwater!" ”

Saliel quickly pulled out her axe and picked up the shield next to her.

Soon, a large blue-gray fish jumped out of the water and jumped from everyone's eyes to the surface of the water more than a meter away.

Bang!

The surface of the water soon splashed.

Before Lawrence could speak, he saw a second and a third jump out of the nearby water!

More and more big fish jumped up from the water and splashed a lot around the boat.

A large fish jumped into the boat, flicking its tail and slamming it into Sariel.

Bang! Saliel smashed an axe into the fish's body, kicking the big fish out with a kick.

Sophia held up her shield to protect Lawrence and shouted excitedly, "What a lot of big fish!" ”

Tukara pushed the boat out of the waterhole, and after leaving the waterhole, there were far fewer fish jumping around.

Sophia lowered her shield and quickly said, "There are still a lot of fish under the water. ”

Sariel watched the water in front of her vigilantly, and could often see black shadows emerge from the water and then quickly sink back.

If you hadn't known about the existence of these fish in advance, the dark shadows in the water alone would have caused fear.

Lawrence was not hurt, he stood up and looked at the rear, and the people behind him had also been guided in advance, so he was not too panicked in the sudden incident just now.

If you don't have a warning, you are likely to fall into the river in a panic.

Lawrence asked, "Did anyone fall into the river when the rest of the people came before?" ”

"Some people fell into the water because the boat fell, and no one was frightened, I heard that there were foresters here to lead the way in the first place," Tukara said. ”

"There is no danger in the river here, and the foresters do not go near the water casually, they think that it will be unfortunate to be near the water's edge, and everything that lives in the water is miserable creatures."

After more than ten minutes of observation, as well as the observation of some large and small fish in the river, Lawrence had a general understanding of the environment.

This river fish is supposed to drive away the hunters by jumping out of the water in groups, and the main predator of this large fish is not the water snake, but the fish themselves.

When food is scarce in the vicinity, the number of fish naturally decreases.

The main food of these fish is, I am afraid...... The droppings of the Lawrence family.

"If I'm not mistaken, the fish population here has only grown in recent years."

Turaka looked at Lawrence in surprise, "I don't know about this, I'm not familiar with this place. ”

Although he has lived here for a while, Tukara's main concern is to manage people, and he knows very little about the riverside.

Lawrence looked at the fish in the water, "These river fish, which are far away from us, share the same river as us. ”

"The garbage and food that people upstream, who throw in the river, will wash down the stream."

"There's the blood and feces of livestock, the dander hair washed off when people take a bath, and the garbage like wood scraps and plant ash."

"If left unchecked, the number of these fish will grow, and it will attract more and more big hunters."

Lawrence looked at the banks of the nearby Amazon forest, where the terrain was extremely complex and his view was greatly limited.

And the environment and parasites can bring all kinds of problems, and people who are physically weak can easily die here.

While thinking about what was going on here, the forester, who was digging for wood by the river, soon spotted the approaching boat, and also saw Lawrence standing on the bow of the boat.

The foresters quickly fell to their knees and knelt with their hands on the wet ground on the shore.

"Prophet!"

"Prophet!"

The forester clearly remembers Lawrence.

In the memories of most foresters, the few remaining foresters were driven on a pilgrimage to the sacred places upstream, where they met the Prophet and spent a long eternal night under the Prophet's protection.

You can eat bread and eggs there, you can drink hot water, and the whole black goat tribe has been strong since then.

Tukara brought the wooden boat close to the shore, and the ship's escort and warriors soon landed ashore, and Lawrence also landed on land under the escort of Salyl and Sophia.

Lawrence looked at the foresters, "Get up, do you speak my language?" ”

Several foresters hesitated, and seeing that others were silent, a young man said, "I will." ”

Lawrence actually speaks some Durella as well, but it doesn't have to.

The first thing that is needed for language integration is that he, as a ruler, practices it, and if he speaks a foreign language with others, then his own language cannot be implemented.

"Okay, you can show me the way."

Lawrence asked, "Tell me your name." ”

"Ciro." Ciro nervously said his name.

Lawrence quickly asked Ciro to lead the way, and he followed a dirt road to the village.

The dirt road under your feet is a simple path made by removing weeds, and it is more than two meters wide, but not all of them are so wide, and in some places it is narrower because of the relationship between stones and mountain trees.

The roadside is covered with lush vegetation, and even though it's late autumn, there's still plenty of vegetation here.

Not all plants die in winter, and most plants survive the cold as long as the soil is not frozen too much, or too barren and cold.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the tribe where Siro and the others lived appeared in front of them.

In front of it is a circular flat land, on which more than a dozen two-story wooden huts have been built, and there are domestic animals such as black goats and black pigs in the nearby livestock pens.

Lawrence was discovered by people who were working and moving things in the neighborhood.

"Prophet! It's a prophet! ”

"Great Prophet!"

"Merciful Prophet!"

"Prophet!"

The women of the tribe pulled the child to his knees, and the man also lowered his weapons and knelt.

Many of the people here had never seen Lawrence before, and under the influence of the rest of them, they quickly knelt on the ground to welcome the prophet's arrival.

Lawrence didn't expect to be so famous here.

The last time I was so moved, I found that the people in the manor took the initiative to build houses for themselves.

Lawrence was a little apologetic when he found out that the foresters had not taken much care of them, but had been in awe of them.

When this tribe was first discovered, only a few people passed by here, and after being discovered by the people of the Black Goat tribe, these people took the initiative to trade furs and food.

Afterward...... I sent people to conquer this place.

Right and wrong were clearly considered at that time, and I knew very well that this was aggression at that time, but I still made up my mind to do it.

Now that he is respected by these people, Lawrence feels very unhappy, and he understands a truth even more.

Throughout the ages, right and wrong have been the success of the king and the defeat of the king, and if you fall behind, you will be bullied.

Lawrence knew he was right, and the situation was that he had to go out.

In an era of underdeveloped productivity, land is the most important asset.

It is normal for a tribe, a city-state, or a nation to have an extra piece of land for future generations.

But this is the barbarian of the barbarian age, and Lawrence comes from the age of civilization and prefers to merge rather than invade.

The main reason for choosing to invade in the first place was that they felt that these forest savages could not communicate and were a group of savage creatures that ate people.

And when dealing with Steel's territory, because he knew that these people could communicate, he adopted a fusion strategy and accepted the power of Count Steel's power by more civilized means.

"I brought the oracle of God." Lawrence looked at these people solemnly and said: "After a long observation, the people of this land will be blessed by the gods, and at the same time, those who are industrious and brave and willing to sacrifice for this land will have the opportunity to go to the Holy Land." ”

"Whoever speaks my language and digs potatoes quickly and well, will be able to return to the Holy Land with me tomorrow."

Turaka quickly translated Lawrence's words, and the foresters immediately had the motivation to dig potatoes when they heard Lawrence's words.

Sariel was also excited, so that she could go home and take a shower soon!
