Extraordinary Sailing

Although Aiwen has been thinking about the Hurons who have been influenced by the kingdom's culture for decades since he acquired the Georgian Territory, he didn't act too hastily.

First plant a seed in Princess Apusuya's heart. With the development of the situation and the changes in the strength of both sides, the seed will always blossom and bear fruit.

On the contrary, the Arawak clan, which already had a sufficient foundation of trust, had already migrated here first.

In the coastal plain area in the southeastern part of the Georgia Territory, where Ivan and Olivia have planned as a cotton planting area, there is a large amount of fertile land enough to house them.

The long-standing tradition of hunting has made the Arawak people very familiar with migration.

With the help of mules and horses sent by Aiwen, a total of more than 5,700 people, old and young, established a new camp 30 kilometers west of the capital Brunswick Harbor in less than a day.

At the same time, the establishment of the fixed camp also declared that they had completely bid farewell to the original hunting lifestyle and transformed into settled farmers.

"Master Viscount!"

"Deputy Head!"

"Your Excellency, you are here."

Led by Chinaro and Paka, the representatives of the Arawak people in the pirate group, Aiwen took Anita, Olivia, Angie, and Calvin into this place named "New Isle". Pagnola town".

Along the way, people kept saying hello to Ivan and Anita.

On both sides of the hastily opened road, under the guidance of the artisans sent by Aiwen, there are already young and old people who are cutting wood to build wooden permanent houses. The change of lifestyle begins here.

And more people in the tribe are preparing for tonight's banquet, a banquet that will change the fate of the entire clan!

"There are still too few women and children. The biggest problem in Arawak is this unhealthy demographic."

Olivia, who had long been brought into the role of territory manager, looked at the busy crowd and made her own evaluation.

"Aren't we here to solve this problem? The more you desire, the more pious you will be."

Ai Wen, who was walking beside her, smiled, and sometimes bad things may not turn into good things.

last year.

More than 400 women and children of the Araucan clan who were captured were sent to Tortuga Island in the northern part of the Golden Sea, which slightly balanced the extremely unhealthy male-female ratio of this exiled clan.

After many years of exile, there were still 5,300 of them, the male to female ratio was about 7:3, and there were very few newborns. The current situation is actually much better than before.

At present, the total population of all 11 colonies of Phalatis plus slaves is less than 3 million, and the actual population is less than 200,000 in the 100,000 square kilometers of Georgia territory.

Although the Arawak clan has less than 6,000 members, it is already a huge supplement to the population of the Georgia Territory. Moreover, most of these people who survived the difficult environment are young and middle-aged, and they are high-quality people who can create value.

As for how to integrate the citizens of obviously different races, Lord Viscount also has a plan. The easiest way is obviously cultural education and assimilation of beliefs.

For example, the banana man, although the appearance is still the original nationality, but the spiritual core has already become the shape of others, where is the sense of belonging? Needless to say.

so.

As soon as the camp was established, the grammar teacher sent by Aiwen had already entered the town of New Hispaniola, and the first thing he wanted to do was to popularize the common language.

Both kids and adults need to learn.

But today is only the seventh day after camping, and Aiwen can't wait to come here in person to solve another problem-faith!

Apparently not the belief of "King and Nautical Goddess", but of the "Tree of Life".

Since Zenaro successfully inaugurated the "Tree of Life Totem Warrior" last year, the tribal chiefs have already begun to consider enshrining the "Tree of Life" as their new totem.

For Ivan, this is a great thing that kills two birds with one stone.

It not only included the population, but also added a lot of fire to the concrete representation of the "mysterious source".

At the beginning, Ivan's attitude was just nothing to do.

But after obtaining the research materials of "voodoo religion" and confirming that the "lord" they enshrined, covering all gods and all things, is the mysterious source of "voodoo school", Ai Wen also became eager in his heart.

because.

The "mysterious source" of the oldest school "Tree of Life School" is one of the origins of many myths, which created the tree of life of thousands of creatures.

From high to low, the top ten qualities are "crown", "wisdom", "understanding", "compassion", "sternness", "beauty", "victory", "brilliance", "foundation" and "kingdom", and there are twenty-two links connecting the ten principles. "Road of Fire Sword".

Although the "Tree of Life" has laid the theoretical cornerstone of the mysterious side of the entire wizarding world, allowing dangerous wizarding knowledge to be systematized and standardized, it also makes it infinitely more difficult to manifest itself.

Even after countless long years, no one can concretize it, and even the groundbreaking results are not too many. Aiwen didn't feel that he possessed wisdom beyond countless sages, so he could only find a way to find another way.

then.

One needs to survive and continue, and the other lacks people and believers. The two hit it off immediately!

The night gradually closed, and all the Arawak clansmen gathered in the small square that was first established in the middle of the camp, even the infants.

Crackling

In the light of a roaring bonfire.

A tall totem pole that looks like a bronze tree stands quietly here.

The material is undoubtedly brand-new bronze, but after Aiwen enchanted it and held the corresponding ceremony, it has literally shown a kind of copper green, and even the texture has a bit of translucent jade.

Especially against the firelight, the radiance is extraordinary.

Maruint, the chief of the clan who was granted autonomy by Aiwen, stood up.

After being expelled from Santo Domingo Island more than ten years ago, the tribe was shattered, the totem was destroyed, and the shaman inheritance was cut off, the old chief was already the leader with the highest status in the tribe.

"People, the Arawaks were driven out of their original home island of Hispaniola by the devilish Cyrus.

When we were displaced, our clansmen continued to die, but not many new clansmen were born. We are already a group of evil spirits determined to revenge.

But the benevolent and powerful lord, Viscount Garriott, not only defeated the mighty Cyrus fleet on another continent, made those devils bleed, but also generously accepted us.

In this new land, the Arawaks will be loyal to Lord Garriott, and will usher in a new life of peace, prosperity and hope!

The new gods "Father of Creation" and "Ladder of God" enshrined by the tribe will also give us his gospel!

Before that, let us pay tribute to Okanis, the "killer whale god" who passed away with Hispaniola. "

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

"."

The Arawak people around the square waved their fists and shouted at the same time.

This also ushered in one of the most critical parts of tonight's New God Sacrifice Ceremony - "God Killing Banquet"!

In the New World, the relationship between gods and humans is complicated.

When the totem gods are like wandering souls at the low level, their biggest dream is to be accepted by the tribes and clans; in the mid-level situation like "Great Shark" Ovig, they are interdependent; And the weak position gradually began to reverse

So when people abandon God, there are also situations where God abandons man.

So far, the "killing god" ritual continues in many Atrian tribes. In the new god sacrifice ceremony, the names of some obsolete or conquered tribe gods are marked on the food, and they are killed and eaten.

Because of the relatively weak viability of the hunting people compared to the farming clan, this group of people are all pragmatists through and through.

They believed that the god they ultimately chose was the most important, noblest, and most authoritative of all gods. In the worldview of the Atrians, the rulership of the gods over the secular world is not static, and the duties of the gods will change from time to time. They will die, retire, and take power alternately.

They even deeply realized that gods are not all-knowing and omnipotent, and they also have their own powers and inadequacies. In addition to retaining ancestor worship and their own totem gods, the Atrians will also have other wider objects of belief.

This situation is very different from the single belief that is common in the countries of the Old Continent.

Now the Arawak clan finally chose to abandon the "killer whale" totem god Okanis, and completely devoted themselves to the "Tree of Life". The ceremony to break with the past is the "God Killing Feast"!

"Banquet!"

The old chief gave an order, and the long tables on both sides of the square were quickly filled with various ethnic delicacies.

And on every food, there is a name written in red ingredients-"Killer Whale" Okanis.

The main course was two roasted stags, and everyone in the clan lined up in a long line, regardless of men, women, or children, to share a bite.

In the end, all the marks and carvings belonging to Okanis the "killer whale" in the tribe were thrown into the fire in front of the bronze tree.

next moment.

"Aw—!"

People with keen senses could hear the miserable sound that seemed to sound from the deep sea, and then stopped abruptly.

Many Arawaks also felt a sudden lightness in their bodies at the same time.

The last remnant of this failed totem god in the blood of the Arawak tribe completely disappeared at this time.

"Ooh."

In the midst of cheers.

The sacrificial ceremonies for the new gods "Tree of Life", "Sacred Tree of Creation", "Father of Creation", "Stairway of God" and "Tongtian Bridge" are seamlessly connected.

Boom..boom..boom..

Two men, two women, and four young men with shaman qualifications, held a ritual tambourine called "Teponastre" and performed a sacrificial dance.

All members of the tribe went forward one by one to offer sacrifices to the new god, fresh fruits, flowers, herbs, exquisite stones, wooden signs carved by themselves, and so on.

Follow the ceremony.

Sitting in his seat and witnessing all this, Aiwen, including Angie and Calvin beside him, felt more and more clearly the power of the mysterious source "tree of life".

As the head of the school, Aiwen once again clearly felt the power of the title "Nation Destroyer" through the connection of the tree of life. Even if you can't use it, you can feel the vastness passively.

That is the reverence and fear from countless people.

"The blessing of nearly 6,000 people's beliefs is already an extremely powerful force, and the blessing effect on the mysterious source is very obvious. I seem to hear the voice of His growth."

An Qi, who is extremely talented, is only inferior to Ivan in her perception of the mysterious source, and her reaction is also the fastest.

"Of course, voodoo has proven that for us."

Ai Wen nodded slightly, everything was under control.

"Voodoo" set a precedent, introducing the power of "faith" before it was fully realized.

Perhaps the ancient wizards once thought of this method, but in the background of the wizards ruling the world in ancient times, there may be the pride of wizards, or population restrictions, and they did not adopt it.

But Aiwen is a pragmatist, and there is no psychological barrier to opportunism.

However, there is no way to apply "voodoo" mechanically.

Instead, he got inspiration from the title "Nation Destroyer" and tried to replace the messy beliefs with purer spiritual power.

Such as prestige, gratitude, and reverence. Although the efficiency is slightly lower, they can prevent the mysterious source from being affected by messy thoughts, and finally produce self-awareness like that "big master".

In contrast, the blessings that can be fed back to believers are also very single, and there is even only one kind of [creation] at all!

The "Tree of Life" absorbs the power worshiped by the natives, processes it and gives feedback. The feedback ratio is about one-third, and it is blessed to the [White Oak Amulet] carved by believers and needs to be blessed.

【White Oak Amulet】

Effect: protect women and children, increase birth rate, and avoid accidental death of newborns.

As the mysterious source of the school, the "tree of life" is of course very powerful, because the concept of creating all things can be called all-encompassing.

But Aiwen only solidified this core function [Creation] for this image that belongs to the "god".

Directly pointing to the fundamental attribute of the "tree of life".

And not through the so-called ethereal theocracy, but indirectly through witchcraft amulets.

Complying with the sincere wishes of the clan members who desire to continue the clan is as pure as the love of thousands of parents for their children.

With this kind of great power of mind to nourish, instead of delusional thoughts full of various selfish desires, it can provide the tree of life with pure growth resources to the maximum extent.

Even Aiwen sometimes doubts that when a crowned wizard realizes the ultimate goal of the school, "Concrete Truth", if he wants to go further, will he also embark on the path of collecting beliefs?

It's a pity that in the records of "The Sacrifice of Flesh and Flesh", no sage of any school can reach that step, and he doesn't know the knowledge behind "the embodiment of truth".

However, Ivan is at least a little clear.

When the fourth-rank crown wizard takes the initiative to analyze part of the truth and operating rules of the world, gathers the power and knowledge of an entire school, and becomes a living source of mystery, it means that he has the qualification to compete with demigods!

This is also his long-term goal, or the ultimate pursuit of every wizard.
