Chapter 37: Spirits of the Ancestors (Part 2)
The strange flame jumps.
A shaman wearing a bone mask sprinkled black powder into the flames, and the rising flames burst instantly, and countless scenes could be vaguely seen. A special power enveloped this place. It seemed that some existence in the earth was awakened. This power awakened with ancient prayers, and then gradually merged into the body of the old shaman. Soon he closed his eyes trembling all over. It seems to be connecting with some kind of existence.
"Danger!...Don't provoke the enemy!...Outsiders!...It's dangerous!..."
Vague information sounded in his mind, and the old-faced shaman stopped trembling all over, then slowly opened his eyes and said: "The ancestor spirit has given me an oracle!..."
"Don't provoke those outsiders, be careful and alert them!"
In front of the shaman is a totem pole, which is different from the indigenous people that Sauron killed. The spirit here is not so wild and evil, and even has a certain amount of wisdom. When he was awakened, although the aura he exuded was not kind, it was not that evil, more like a neutral force.
There was silence.
In front of the old shaman was a group of indigenous leaders. They were the most powerful warriors in the tribe, but at the moment there was a look of fear on their faces.
Long-warring tribes suddenly disappeared.
It is impossible to hide such a thing from the indigenous people living here, but when they knew that their opponent had really been destroyed, what they felt was not ecstasy, but deep fear.
Just overnight!
The hostile tribes they had fought for hundreds of years were destroyed in this way, and even the evil gods they served were not spared.
horrible. Danger. fear.
After hearing the news, the oldest shaman Dang even decided to awaken the ancestor's soul and ask him for tribal guidance. I hope to learn from the mouths of the souls of the ancestors what these outsiders are like. Such a thing is really terrible. These outsiders can wipe out their enemies overnight, and I am afraid they can also wipe them out overnight. Faced with such a matter of tribe survival, even the oldest shaman does not know what to do, so they can only pray to the spirits of the ancestors for help.
But.
The soul of the ancestors told them very little information, and he even concealed a piece of information from his clansmen.
That is.
The spirits of the ancestors told him. The enemy is very powerful and dangerous. If there is a conflict, even the souls of the ancestors will not be able to defeat the terrible outsiders. The best way is to move the entire tribe to other islands.
That way the catastrophe of genocide can be avoided!
Ancestral spirits are full of wisdom.
The old shaman was sure of it! Because the ancestor souls they serve are definitely not evil gods like the hostile tribes!
There is a huge gap between the two in essence.
The inheritance of ancestor spirit sacrifices made them more rational. Although this indigenous tribe was not as powerful as Sauron faced, it was much more civilized. They have better defense facilities and have specialized blacksmiths forging weapons and equipment. He also tried to domesticate the velociraptor of Treasure Island. So even if the ancestors couldn't give them the power to make the warriors berserk, they still fought against the enemy for hundreds of years, and little by little the tribe grew stronger.
now.
A difficult choice was before them.
That is the appearance of terrifying outsiders, what should they do in the future!
Leaving home is tantamount to giving up everything here, and starting again in a strange environment with unknown dangers. The price to pay for that is quite heavy. That's why the elder shaman didn't tell the others, because if he told them, the tribe would soon be panic-stricken. Now, the only thing they can do is wait. Expect these outsiders not to attack them.
The elder shaman looked into the distance.
He heard the children playing in the tribe, as well as the women shouting and scolding. These poor people don't know that an unprecedented disaster is coming.
The survival of the entire tribe is seriously threatened!
………………
The village is busy.
Relying on his memory, Sauron quickly found the approximate location of the gold mine, but even if he took it down, it was impossible to mine it immediately.
Sauron needs to mobilize manpower and tools, and must act in secret. Because until now, many of his subordinates didn't know what was on this island, and they only thought that they were here to rob the natives. This matter must be handed over to someone close to him. Sauron asked Cyclops to go to the south coast to recruit manpower. It is best to bring back some people who are proficient in mining. Sauron doesn't care what method is used, he just wants to see the manpower and tools brought over during the task time.
The natives are pretty poor.
Except for the gold and silver mines here, there is basically nothing to sell.
Even the most powerful shamans can't find a few pieces of extraordinary equipment. Their civilization level is too low, and only a part of the knowledge of voodoo is passed on.
Nearly a week has passed.
It would take a lot of work for Sauron to go back and forth, and it is impossible for him to stay in Treasure Island for too long, so many things must be dealt with at once.
It's a pity that the first mate of the half-elf is going to sit on Nusha Island.
Otherwise, with him around, Sauron could be the hands-off shopkeeper, because the first mate of the half-elf is still very capable of handling affairs.
The first batch of prisoners has been sent away.
Sauron asked the native slaves to renovate the village, and then ordered the supplies on the battleship to be transported down.
Half of them go back.
Half the people stay here.
Sauron spent three full days leaving a teleportation beacon here, so that in case of any emergency in the future, he can directly use the teleportation technique to support him.
When the third batch of slaves were also transported away.
Sauron finally finished dealing with everything here, and is going to return to Modo Port first.
Nearly a thousand people and about two thousand native captives remained on Treasure Island. When the one-eyed dragon returns, other pirates will be transferred to guard it. These elites cannot be left in this place where no shit.
Time is pinching its fingers and entering June.
There are only about half a year left before the catastrophe of the saints erupts, and Sauron doesn't know what the current situation in Fallen Leaf City is like. The biggest inconvenience overseas is information congestion. Modo Port can still rely on the prosperous trade to collect a lot of intelligence, but it is completely impossible in Treasure Island. Now that the situation on the continent is ever-changing, Sauron cannot stay here for too long.
so.
On the second day after dealing with many affairs, Sauron decided to return to Modo Port in person.
next.
It is the most important thing that determines his future destiny!
