The caravan from the Western Continent had just stepped into the territory of the Starfire Tribe. Although they entered from a different direction from the Banshan Tribe, they also received the same 'meeting ceremony'.
First came the warning from Arrow Rain, and then heard the sound of warning inquiries that made it difficult for anyone to find out.
This is because when digging the deep pool, Yang Yi made a plan, and the first thing to consider was the place where the beasts or people were most likely to appear.
The deep ponds dug in those places can now be used as a line of defense, and can also lay the foundation for the construction of a moat in the future.
And set up high towers overlooking the distance and strong parapets at the main checkpoints. The current parapets are only 20 to 30 meters long.
The protective wall also serves as a beacon tower. Once a major enemy invades, it will be ignited to make the tribe quickly alert.
"The weaker the tribe, the more likely it is to play tricks like this." En Leng snorted.
Different from the surprise of the Banshan people, his attitude towards the sound from the speakers hidden in the vine wooden box was more of a contemptuous attitude.
Although he didn't know what was going on, but the inherent arrogance and prejudice made him feel that it was just to cover up his weakness and deliberately create weird and scary things.
In fact, there is nothing remarkable about it, and this is also their experience traveling all over the world.
Joe was very interested: "I think this tribe will surprise us."
Walking to the drawbridge, Joe blew a whistle:
"The suspension bridge, the moat. I guess the mysterious envoy of the Starfire Tribe probably came from our Western Continent, and this is something only the Western Continent has."
En's face softened a lot at this moment: "It's no wonder that these barbarians suddenly became different. This is the real reason. There are always some people from the Western Continent who like to go to some remote places to become kings, to satisfy their cheap self-esteem."
The two of them used the common language of the Western Continent. Although the language was very impolite, they were still polite when facing the spark guide.
Caravans trading in the Eastern Continent knew very well that although the people in the Eastern Continent were stupid and barbaric, they possessed powerful force.
And they are very simple, once offended, let alone a deal, as long as they dare to step into their territory, they will be mercilessly killed.
They don't care who's standing behind you, they just punch and kill, regardless of the cost of doing so.
When they saw the patches of farmland, Joe's contemptuous attitude and En's contempt and arrogance gradually subsided.
Unlike the Eastern Continent, the Western Continent has long been cultivating farmland.
It's no surprise that most of their food comes from farming and farming.
However, even if they are not farmers, let alone farmers, they can still see that this tribe is different.
"I swear I have never seen such high-yield farmland in the Western Continent. They look like works of art, completely different from the farmland I know."
Joe didn't want to look like an ignorant country boy, but his eyes were attracted by the surroundings uncontrollably.
These farmlands are neatly planned, and it is obvious that the cultivators are very good at farming, and they did not randomly sprinkle the seeds on the ground, even if they are planted.
Although the farmland is now covered with dense fruit, it can still be seen that they are turned very evenly.
These fields will only have the plants they want to grow, nothing else will exist at all.
The most important thing is that the yield of these crops is astonishingly high. The densely packed fruits make one's scalp tingle and the blood of the whole body start to boil.
How did these savages do it? !
Is that envoy really from the Western Continent? This doesn't look like the handwriting of people from the Western Continent.
But why, there is no farmland with such a scene in the entire Western Continent. Even if the yield will vary due to climate and other factors, the difference can be clearly seen just by looking at the field management.
Even if the farmers in each city have reservations about technology, the gap is definitely not so big.
"Xi, I remember that you grew up on a farm. Is your farmland like this too?" Unwilling to give up, En asked a guard beside him.
Xi, who was in shock, was drawn back to focus, and shook her head repeatedly when she heard this sentence.
"The scene here made me even forget that I used to be a serf. This place is so different from what I know."
Xi stretched out his finger and pointed at one place: "Boss, look over there is wheat. I dare say its output is ten times that of the highest yield in the Western Continent. No, it is even higher! God, how did they do it?! "
"With such a high output, there is no need to worry about starvation."
Others couldn't help but discuss aloud at this time.
"There is still this road. Is this really the Eastern Continent? Have we gone to the wrong place?"
"They even tamed poultry? They kept so many."
En frowned and looked at the avenue they were walking on. Although he didn't want to admit it, this avenue was the best road they had traveled.
Even in the imperial city, there is no such a flat, wide and very clean avenue.
Yes, clean.
En finally realized what was different, the road was so clean, they only saw the beauty and did not see any filth.
There is only the fragrance of soil, plants and flowers on both sides of the avenue, and there is no disgusting smell.
This is not only in the Eastern Continent, even in the Western Continent is very different.
Just at this moment, a pony carrying goods suddenly stopped, leaving its excrement and urine on the ground after a while.
The Western Continent Caravan has long been used to such scenes, and they don't take it to heart at all.
It was the Xinghuo man who frowned slightly when he saw it, took out the bamboo whistle hanging around his neck, and blew two long and one short sounds.
Joe and En didn't quite understand what was going on until they had gone that far, and Joe turned around and was amazed.
"Well, look."
Not long after they left, a child ran to a convenient place for the horse with a bamboo shovel pan and a wooden shovel.
The shovel was filled with plant ash. He first sprinkled the plant ash on it, and then used a wooden shovel to shovel the feces on the ground into the shovel.
But after a while, the originally dirty road became smooth and clean again.
"..."
Qiao and En were relatively speechless, and couldn't remember where they were for a while.
Is this still the barbaric Eastern Continent
No, the Western Continent is not like this.
No one in the Western Continent will clean up these feces, not even in the most affluent and majestic imperial city, let alone this kind of avenue built next to the farmland.
When they saw the rows of houses, their expressions couldn't hold back, especially when they learned from the Starfire guide that this was the residence of all the Starfire people, their expressions became even weirder.
The houses, though far less grand and beautiful than their castles, were rows of mud houses.
Although the soil has been specially treated, the essence is not much different.
But the tiles on the roof, and telling them that all the ordinary people of the Starfire Tribe live in such houses, they don't know how to describe their inner feelings.
In the Western Continent, nobles would live in tall and beautiful houses and live a luxurious life.
But the houses of ordinary people are definitely not as good as these houses. The houses of ordinary people in the Western Continent are low and dark, and they feel suffocating even standing at the door.
The houses here look so beautiful, tidy, tall and airy. Although they haven't walked in, they can be imagined to be much more comfortable than the houses of ordinary people in the Western Continent.
And there are beautiful flowers under each house, and each house has a balcony protruding out to enjoy the scenery.
Their impression of the Eastern Continent is that they still live in caves, and at most there will be low houses built of simple trees and straw.
Every time they entered a tribe, they lived in tents they had built themselves.
Even temporary structures are better than the tribes' own dwellings.
Even the houses of the tribal leaders can hardly satisfy the discerning caravan leaders of the Western Continent.
Now they saw such a building that surpassed most of the houses in the Western Continent, which was too shocking for them, and they were not mentally prepared at all.
They also want to deceive themselves, all of this is just a show, but there are stretches of buildings standing in front of them, so they have no way to convince themselves to think so.
Especially with more houses being built further afield, they couldn't let themselves become blind.
When I came to the legendary temple and saw the huge iron pot, I couldn't control my expression, and my whole heart seemed to explode.
This is showing off, this is showing off your strength!
It is too extravagant for such a precious iron to be made into such a big pot!
Even the most powerful king in the Western Continent would never do this.
Ironware is a very precious existence. They are bestowed by the gods. To own a small ironware dagger is already a symbol of glory.
They had thought about taking away a large amount of black pottery this time, making great contributions, and maybe they could get the iron dagger bestowed by the city lord.
But what did they see here!
These savages actually used a lot of iron to make a useless and extremely huge pot that required a lot of iron.
If they go back and tell the people in the Western Continent that there is a huge iron pot in a remote and wild place in the Western Continent, they have to climb up a ladder to scoop up the contents, they will definitely be regarded as crazy!
These barbarians actually used them to make a pot, and the water was still boiling inside!
Anyone who wants to get this water can get it, drink it or even take a bath? !
They simply cannot believe this fact and are tempted to refute the impossibility.
But looking at the people queuing up to get water are very ordinary, and their expressions are very casual, it can be seen that getting water is very common to them, and it is not a big deal.
Qiao and En could only swallow the words abruptly, and even felt a fishy and sweet taste in their throats.
However, this group of barbarians still felt that the impact was not enough. They saw that the roof of the temple was made of glowing red tiles. They dared to say that the place was similar to black pottery, but even more precious than black pottery. .
The houses on both sides are made of black and red tiles. The black pottery that they think is extremely precious is actually used as tiles here
Joe and En didn't want to talk at all. They already felt that the Starfire Tribe had given them a great blow.
The previous arrogance was completely gone, and the shock along the way made them dare not have the same attitude as before.
This Xinghuo tribe is not simple. The mysterious envoy in the legend is more powerful than they thought.
"When can we meet the envoy?" Joe is now more interested in this mysterious envoy.
The spark guide glanced at them, and smiled politely: "The envoys don't meet foreigners easily, and we have to wait until the day of the sacrifice."
"Is this how you receive guests?" En was very displeased, "We are a caravan from the Western Continent! Bringing good things that you can't imagine!"
The spark guide still just smiled and didn't say anything, his attitude was very firm.
En wanted to say something, but was stopped by Joe.
"Don't worry, we will always have a chance."
The Xinghuo guide also spoke very kindly: "The envoy will set aside a special time for entertaining foreign guests. This is our Xinghuo tribe, and everything must follow our arrangements."
En Leng snorted and wanted to say something when a group of about ten armed squads passed by.
They were divided into two columns and walked neatly on the road.
Seeing the Western Continent Caravan and his party, the leader nodded slightly, and left again.
Although they didn't wear simple armor like the guards, they all carried iron knives or spears, and strange-looking bows and arrows on their backs.
Everyone looks like an indescribable feeling, even more like a regular army than a royal guard.
Yes, they have a very strong military temperament, but they are completely different from the Western Continent Army.
It seems that discipline is more explicit and more deterrent.
"Who are they?" Eun asked.
The guide Xinghuo said: "They are the guards in the city. Our tribe has three violent organizations. One is the border guards, which protect the border security of the tribe;
One is the guards, that is, those people you saw just now, who specialize in maintaining the safety of the tribe;
The third is the picket team. If there is a dispute in the tribe, it is up to them to quell it. "
Joe and En looked at each other. Such a clear assignment of responsibilities not only means that their armed forces are very strong, but also means that they have a very high level of civilization.
The distribution of these responsibilities can be understood as soon as you hear it. They perform their duties and jointly maintain the safety of the entire tribe.
"They look very different." Joe tried to inquire.
Guide Starfire raised his chin proudly: "Of course, they have all been specially trained by our chief. Not only have their individual combat capabilities been greatly improved, but their strength when they cooperate is far greater than the simple sum of individual combat."
After all, the guide sighed deeply and shook his head: "However, the chief said that the training time is too short now, and he has not shown his true strength. It is only a half-finished product and cannot be called an army."
The expressions of Joe and En froze immediately, and Joe, who was the best at disguising, almost couldn't control himself, and punched the guide in the face.
"This is a residence specially arranged for you. Of course, if you are not used to it and want to set up a tent by yourself, I can also lead you to a special place."
When Qiao and En came to the Eastern Continent, they rarely followed the arrangement of the locals and lived in the residence here, wanting to see if the inside was the same as the outside.
As a result, they don't know to be disappointed or whatever.
Although the house here is not big, it is not as luxurious as their house. The only relatively expensive item in the house is the black pottery vase with flowers in it.
Although the black pottery is precious, compared to the large amount of gold, silver and jewelry in their house, such a one is still not enough to look good.
In particular, although these vases are very beautiful, the quality is relatively average.
But it is much more comfortable to live in than their house!
It is neat, bright, and transparent, with carefully thought-out ideas and decorations, and is very practical. It makes people feel very comfortable when they walk in.
The castle they lived in was too cold and dark, and it always had an unpleasant smell.
Here, there is only refreshing floral fragrance.
They even feel that the quilts they brought will make the place dirty if they spread them in the house.
This feeling is really very uncomfortable!
"The two of us need separate rooms."
Eun heard that they had to spend the same as others, squeezed together with three people, and expressed his dissatisfaction.
The Starfire guide shrugged: "We have all arranged this way. If you are not satisfied, you can solve the problem yourself. Our tribe will not make special arrangements for people."
After finishing speaking, I did not forget to emphasize: "This requires your own internal adjustments. You cannot exchange with people from other tribes, let alone forceful behavior."
"What if someone did that?" Jo couldn't help teasing.
Guide Spark still maintained a professional smile: "Then they can taste the fist of the guards and feel the thrill of flying when they are thrown out."
Joe and En ended up in a room alone, keeping the coolies huddled together.
The coolies were used to this arrangement and didn't think there was anything wrong with it, especially though it was a bit crowded, but they had never lived in such a nice house, and they were already very satisfied.
Not only did they have a place to live, but someone also brought melons and fruits to them, just like the caravan leader.
When Joe and En found out, they were a little unhappy.
They are nobles, how can they get the same amount of the same things as these pariahs, without any difference.
But those watermelons were too tempting, so they finally took a bite.
"I'm afraid our strategy will change." Joe ate the fragrant, sweet and hydrating watermelon. He was deeply attracted by the sweet taste, and at the same time knew that this transaction would not be so easy.
En paused and snorted coldly: "It's just a group of barbarians..."
After all, there is no confidence in saying this. Which barbarian is so particular about going to the toilet
In the Western Continent, many places are messing around, so many places are very smelly.
Sometimes when walking on the street, if you are not careful, you can be sprinkled all over your body by a basin of turbidity from the sky.
Whether it is common people or nobles, there are not so many rules here, but every item is very clear.
What to do is clearly marked.
It is very troublesome, but it also represents the very particular life of these people.
They not only want to survive, but also want to live better.
This is the symbol of civilization.
Joe ignored his poor pride, and went on:
"Have you observed some people's clothes? They also learned to use wool and dye it. Those colors are very beautiful!"
"Those are all dyed with the color squeezed out of these flowers. It is very easy to fade, and there is nothing unusual." En Leng snorted, still very unconvinced.
Joe glanced at him, and En curled his lips. Although he didn't want to admit it, he also understood that it would not be good for them not to accept the reality.
"No matter how powerful they are, they will have something they want to have. Especially since they are just a new tribe, their leader will definitely not be satisfied with the present."
"That mysterious envoy is really curious. What kind of person can build a tribe like this in such a short period of time."
The corner of Joe's mouth curled into a slight smile, but there was a coldness in his eyes.
En squinted at him: "Hei Lie was not a person to be provoked in the past. He was strong and arrogant. Now that he has obtained iron weapons and has a team that is completely his own, he can have some ideas, but he must not do it lightly."
Joe blinked: "Well, aren't you curious?"
"Control yourself, I just want to do business, not to cause trouble. You have to remember, I'm not Ruhr."
Joe still had an indifferent attitude: "Well, when did you become so timid? This is not like your style. Where did the great warrior En go?"
En gave him a cold look: "If you feel that your life can be lost at will, then I can admit that I am timid."
This group of people has a lot of iron tools and is a powerful fighter. They are just a few people. He did those stupid things because his brain was trapped by the door.
Even if the city lord leads troops to attack, there is no chance of winning, not to mention that they are only a few hundred people.
The capital they can traverse across the Eastern Continent is the copper in their hands, but the people here have iron that is harder than copper!
Joe laughed without being offended.
"This envoy has indeed created many miracles, but a barren land is a barren land. Even the temple is nothing compared to our castle."
Their shock came from the fact that such a huge building complex could be built in such a short period of time, but these buildings are still too simple compared to the contracted houses where the nobles lived.
The Starfire man looked very tidy, and his clothes had changed slightly, but there was not much difference.
It just looks more like a 'civilized person', but compared to the luxury of their western mainland cities, it is still nothing compared.
En could understand the deep meaning of Qiao's words as soon as he heard it: "You want to lure him out of here?"
"How can a person with such a plan be willing to stay in such a wild place? As long as he has seen the prosperity of our city, he will definitely not want to come back here again. Just like those farmers, after seeing the city, they don't want it at all. Back to the country."
"How could he agree to go to the Western Continent with us, and even if he agreed, the man Black Hunter would not let him go."
Just now, from the mouth of the spark guide, you can feel the significance of the so-called envoy in this tribe.
As long as they are not confused, such people will be strictly protected.
Black Hunter is the most shrewd man, and he will never let such a thing happen.
"As long as the seeds are planted, it will slowly grow into a towering tree. How can such an excellent person be willing to be trapped here?" Qiao took a sip of wine, and the old god was there.
"However, we must first come up with something that is attractive enough. He is not as easy to fool as those savages."
Joe's eyes flicked to the decorative paintings made of floral paper hanging on the wall.
It is not easy to forcibly take away an important person, but if the other party is willing, the situation is completely different.
Eun raised his head proudly, confident in what he had brought.
Although most of them are not valuable things, there are also many good things.
"They were lucky enough to get iron and black pottery, and they knew better planting methods.
After all, they are still a group of savages who have never seen the world, there is no way to compare with us in the Western Continent! "
