Mountain and Forest Kingdom

Sliding down the undulating mountains and canyons, Lawrence and his party soon fell onto a large, gentle river.

Lawrence looked back at the one-meter-high stream behind him, "This place can only be explored from upstream. And it's still winter. Most people don't have time to climb up."

Salil held on to the boat plank and said, "It fell five times in total, which is not much."

Sofia felt something and quickly reminded: "There is something under the water!"

Sariel quickly took out the ax and picked up the shield next to it.

Soon a big blue-gray fish jumped out of the water and jumped to the water more than one meter away in front of everyone.

boom!

The water soon started to splash.

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

More and more big fish jumped out of the water, splashing a lot of water around the boat.

A big fish jumped into the boat, swung its big tail and hit Salil.

boom! Sariel hit the fish with an axe, and kicked the big fish directly away.

Sophia held up her shield to protect Lawrence and shouted excitedly: "So many big fish!"

Tukara pushed the boat away from the pool, and after leaving the pool, there were fewer leaping fish around.

Sofia put down her shield and said quickly: "There are many fish under the water."

Salil looked at the water in front of her with vigilance. She could often see black shadows emerging from the water, and then sinking quickly.

If the existence of these fish had not been known in advance, just these dark shadows in the water would have caused fear.

Lawrence was not hurt. He stood up and looked behind him. The people behind him had also received guidance in advance, so they were not too panicked by the sudden incident.

If there is no warning, it is very likely that you will panic and fall into the river.

Lawrence asked: "Did anyone fall into the river when the rest of the people came here?"

Tukara said: "Some people fell into the water because the boat fell. No one was scared. I heard that there were forest people here leading the way from the beginning."

"The river here is not dangerous. The forest people will not go near the water casually. They think that being near the water will make you unhappy. Everything living in the water is a miserable creature."

After more than ten minutes of observation, as well as observing some big and small fish approaching in the river, Lawrence roughly understood the environment here.

This kind of river fish is supposed to drive away hunters by jumping out of the water in groups, and the main natural enemy of this big fish is not water snakes, but themselves.

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

The main food of these fish is probably...the Lawrence family's feces.

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

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

Although he has lived here for a while, Tukara's main focus is on managing people and he knows little about the riverside.

Lawrence looked at the fish in the water, "These river fish are far away from us and share the same river with us."

"The garbage and food thrown into the river by people upstream will be washed here along the stream."

"There was blood and feces from livestock, as well as dander and hair washed off when people took a shower, as well as garbage such as wood chips and plant ash."

"If left unchecked, these fish will become more abundant and attract more and more big game hunters."

Lawrence looked at the nearby riverbank that looked like an ancient forest in the Amazon. The terrain here was extremely complex and the field of vision was extremely restricted.

Moreover, the environment and parasites will cause various problems, and people with weak bodies can easily die here.

While thinking about what was going on here, the forest man who was fishing for wood by the river soon discovered the approaching ship and also saw Lawrence standing on the bow.

The forest men soon knelt down on their hands and knees in the wet earth on the shore.

"prophet!"

"prophet!"

The Foresters clearly remember Lawrence.

In the memories of most forest people, the few remaining forest people were driven to the holy land upstream for pilgrimage, where they met the prophet and spent a long eternal night under the blessing of the prophet.

You can eat bread, eggs, and drink hot water there, and the entire Black Goat tribe has grown stronger since then.

Tukara brought the wooden boat close to the shore, and the guards and soldiers on the boat quickly landed ashore. Lawrence also landed on land under the protection of Salil and Sophia.

Lawrence looked at the forest men, "Get up, do you speak my language?"

Several forest people hesitated for a moment, and when others didn't say anything, a young man said, "I can."

Lawrence actually speaks some Durela, but it's not necessary.

The first thing that language integration requires is that he, the ruler, takes action. If he speaks a foreign language with others, then his own language will not be promoted.

"Okay, you come and lead the way for me."

Lawrence asked, "Tell me your name."

"Silla." Silla said her name nervously.

Lawrence quickly asked Siro to lead the way, and he and his group headed to the village along a dirt road.

The dirt road at your feet is a road that was simply cleared of weeds. It is more than two meters wide and long, but it is not always that wide. In some places, it will be narrower due to the relationship between stones and trees on the mountain.

There are dense plants growing on the roadside. Even though it is late autumn, there is still a lot of vegetation surviving here.

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

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

Ahead is a circular flat land, on which a dozen two-story wooden huts have been built. There are also 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 nearby.

"Prophet! It's a prophet!"

"The great prophet!"

"Prophet of Mercy!"

"prophet!"

The women in the tribe took the children and knelt on the ground, and the men also put down their weapons and knelt down.

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

Lawrence didn't expect that he would be so famous here.

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

After discovering that these forest people didn't take much care of them, but were in awe of him, Lawrence felt a little apologetic.

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

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

I considered right and wrong very clearly at the time. I knew very well that this was an invasion, but I still made up my mind to do it.

Now that he was respected by these people, Lawrence felt very sorry, and he understood a truth even more.

Throughout the ages, right and wrong have always been the winners and losers, and those who fall behind will be bullied.

Lawrence knew that he was right. The situation at that time was that he had to expand outward.

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

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

But this was a savage in a savage age, and Lawrence came from a civilized age, more interested in integration than invasion.

The main reason for choosing to invade in the first place was that they felt that these forest savages were unable to communicate and were a group of man-eating savage creatures.

When dealing with the Sidel territory, because it was clear that these people could communicate, they adopted a fusion strategy and accepted the power of Earl Sidel in a more civilized way.

"I have brought God's oracle." Lawrence looked at these people solemnly and said: "After long-term observation, the people on this land will receive God's blessing. At the same time, those who are hardworking and brave and willing to dedicate themselves to this land will Those who come will be given the opportunity to go to the Holy Land.”

“He who speaks my language and digs potatoes quickly and well will be able to return with me to the Holy Land tomorrow.”

Turaka quickly translated Lawrence's words, and the Forester immediately became motivated to dig potatoes when he heard Lawrence's words.

Salil was also very excited so that she could go home and take a shower quickly!
