Chapter 897 Half a Ton of Gold, What You Have and What You Are Looking For

The sun is setting, the bay is full of dazzling golden light, and the villages are full of busy people. Everything looked very peaceful and peaceful, which seemed to be different from what the old hunter said.

Exploration Captain Zuwaro squinted his eyes, carefully sizing up the appearance of the tribal villages, and estimated the degree of organization of these tribes. However, the peaceful scene was soon broken, and vigilant shouts sounded from the fence of the village.

"There is a boat! There is a big boat on the big lake outside the village!"

"Where did this tribe come from?"

"I don't know, but I've never seen it before!"

"Never seen it? That's the enemy! Quick, take up your arms!  …"

The tribes here seem to be quite vigilant, and the strange long boats appeared for a moment, which attracted the attention of the tribesmen. There was shouting and commotion in the village, and then a full two hundred hunters and young men poured out, each holding spears and hunting bows. Then, more than a dozen tribal canoes were also dragged to the seaside, carrying the hunters, and approached aggressively.

"Uh, the situation... Zuwaro, are we going to contact them?"

"Forget it! Let's leave directly!"

The exploration captain Zuvaro thought for a while, then shook his head in denial.

"Witness of the Lord God! Since we don't plan to set up settlements in this bay for the time being, there is no point in contacting them. What's more, judging by their appearance, I'm afraid they have no good intentions..."

"Okay! Then leave quickly! I feel that they seem to regard us as some invading hostile tribe..."

"Walk!…"

The long boat turned flexibly, accelerated rapidly, and sailed back to the entrance of the bay. But the group of canoes from the local tribe chased after them for a full quarter of an hour! After chasing them out of the bay, the tribal hunter on the boat stopped, yelled and cursed something, then turned the bow of the boat and left angrily. Everyone slowed down immediately, looked at each other and smiled wryly.

"Cough! The tribes here are really enthusiastic..."

"Haha! Lord God bless you!"

Expedition Captain Zuwaro put down the paddle in his hand and turned around panting. He was sweating, looking at the warm and vast Seattle Bay, with an inexplicable excitement and fighting spirit on his face.

"This is the place predicted by His Majesty. It is a warm and fertile land, and there are tens of thousands of ignorant tribes!...The Lord God is witness! We will definitely come back again!"

"Zuwarro... you are really... full of fighting spirit..."

Mickey the Knowledgeable panted, and shook his head with a wry smile. At this moment, he took a break from thinking about this rich and rich bay with many tribes. He already had a clear understanding that for the big tribes that competed in the Northland, similar strength was the basis for dialogue. And before accumulating enough power, it might not be wise to rashly contact the big tribes with so many coveted things.

Thinking of this, Mickey paused and asked in a deep voice.

"Zuvaro, what are the next arrangements? It's the end of October now, and the rumored rainy season storm is coming! ... In addition, our ship still has half a ton of gold given by His Majesty..."

"Well...end of October...monsoon storm...half a ton of gold..."

The exploration captain Zuwaro pondered for a while before discussing to open his mouth.

"Mickey, let's go back to Whale Harbor first. It is the northernmost port of the Kingdom, and it will be the starting point for next year's exploration. We will bury half a ton of gold in the cellar of Whale Harbor. The Maca people are not interested in gold anyway. interest…"

"Then, I think, the two of us can be divided into two teams!..."

"Ah! We are divided into two teams? You mean, sit in the north and south separately?..."

"right!"

A sincere smile appeared on the face of the exploration captain Zuvaro.

"Mickey, when we arrive at Whale Harbor, we will have two longships. You take one to the south and return to Xishan Port in the Golden Bay... Your mission mainly includes three things. The most important first thing is to send manpower, Pass the news of the North to the rear layer by layer, and seek the kingdom's support as soon as possible..."

"Our fleet, after arriving here, is somewhat short of ships and reliable manpower. We need more support, more ships! And more people, including bronze craftsmen and shipwrights!..."

"Okay! The Lord God is witness! When I return to Xishan Port, I will immediately send the boat south!"

The knowledgeable Mickey nodded solemnly, and continued to ask.

"What were the other two things?"

"Second thing, you talk to that old fox, the cedar shaman, and ask Xishan Port to recruit more local tribes and shipwrights from local tribes. This port will be our next big exploration In the rear, it is best to build a shipyard first, store some large logs, and try to build some canoes first... When the shipbuilder of the kingdom arrives, a new longboat will be built!..."

Exploration Captain Zuwaro looked to the south, thinking of the blank shipbuilding industry in various ports, he couldn't help rubbing his brows. He took a long breath, and then calmly ordered.

"We need to build settlements and ports in sections, and each section must leave manpower and ships. Mickey, after you return to Xishan Port, build or trade some canoes for the port to use. Then after the spring of next year, Bring as many longships as you can..."

"This winter, I will stay in Whale Harbor, hunt whales with the Maca people, and store more meat. In addition, before the storm arrives, if there is a chance, I would like to go to the big island in the northwest to take a look and find some Find out whether there is a warm and suitable port, and whether there is a friendly tribe that can be converted... Then, chat with the islanders there, learn some skills of polar life, and learn their language by the way. Yes, learning language is very important ! Not only I have to learn, you have to learn, all priests have to learn!...In short, there are many things we can do. And the more we do now, the smoother our exploration will be later!..."

"The last thing, when you go south from Whale Harbor, you have to go through North Harbor where the Crassop people are, South Harbor where the Kuss people are, and Lake Bay Harbor where the Viyotes are, before you can reach West Hill Harbor in the Golden Bay. ...Show me how the kingdom priests along the way are doing, and then record the number of tribes absorbed by each settlement...Our follow-up sailors will probably be drawn from the converted tribes!..."

"Oh! You must be careful when passing the fighting Leafgrass and Sequoia tribes. They are large tribes that can mobilize hundreds of young men. Seeing that you only have one ship, there may be Any other thoughts... So, Mickey, you can come out at night and walk quietly!  …"

Exploration Captain Zuvalo gave careful instructions for a long time before he finished all the arrangements he had been thinking about in his mind. Afterwards, the two stood on the long boat under the setting sun, looked at the red clouds all over the lake, and prayed devoutly in unison.

"Praise you, the supreme Lord God! I pray for your protection, bless us, and walk through thousands of miles of waves!  …"

After the solemn prayer was over, the longship sailed back west. The knowledgeable Mickey stared at the sunset on the sea, and thought for a long time. After a while, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Zuwaro who was also in a daze.

"Zouaro, I remember! We have one big thing to do!"

"Huh? What? What else?"

"Prophecy! Your Majesty's prophecy! The second half of the prophecy!"

The knowledgeable Mickey went down to the cabin, searched carefully for a long time, and then took out the two volumes of carefully preserved nautical charts and prophecies from the box full of gold.

"Eh? Mickey, didn't you say that you will read the second half of the prophecy after crossing the ocean?"

"Ahaha! Uh... I'm so curious, I sneaked a few glances before... Actually, the second half of His Majesty's prophecy also talked about a gold mine that needs to be found after Jinwan goes north and before crossing the ocean west. An unprecedented and unimaginable gold mine..."

As he said that, the knowledgeable Mickey moved his fingers and moved to the fourth section of the soul chart, which is 50 degrees to 60 degrees north latitude. Then, he was between 55 and 60 degrees north latitude, a heavy point.

"Your Majesty said that at these five latitudes, somewhere in the bay of two thousand miles! There will be a flowing gold river, a bay full of gold mines, countless shining gold stones, at least hundreds of tons and millions of catties gold…"

"Witness of the Lord God! His Majesty also gave this place a name, what is it called... Oh! Juno Gold Mine Area!..."

"Ah? What? The big gold mining area in the extreme north?...Pearls and snails?...Uh, what's the use of so much gold? There are already half a ton on board...In this poor northern land, gold is not even a grain of food. I can't buy it..."

"Your Majesty said, these things can drive the big tribes across the sea crazy! Just let them know...then, they will take the initiative to come to us by boat regardless of all dangers!..."

The sea breeze blows through the long galley, blowing the legend and disdain of gold into the boundless ocean. And the sea breeze of Taotao, along the same latitude, goes to the other side of the ocean, the equally vast, but colder North Asian coast.

The desolate North Asian coast is full of towering mountains and deep forests. And between the forest and the river mouth along the coast, there is a camp of hunting tribes. In this simple but warm camp, there are many strong and fierce hunters, obedient reindeer with thick horns, and big dogs barking at the seaside. What marks the identity of these tribes is a deer head hat with a strange style, and even a little cute, or "roe deer head hat".

"Aw! Aw! Aw!..."

Looking in the direction of the barking dog, a 200-material ocean-going boat was docked by the seaside of the tribal camp. But at this moment, on the deck of this sunshade ship, the warrior at the head of the month frowned, looked at the vast northern sea, and sighed deeply.

"Hey! After working hard for more than half a year, I braved the wind and waves to go north... The only task left for the Patriarch is this last one... What a pity! Where can I find the gold dust that can be exchanged for?...Even a few taels is fine."
