After seeing Vivian with great courage and decisive orders to attack the envoys of Hele's tribe at night, and seeing Vivian successfully use this to shock and intimidate, and finally convince the leader of the Qike tribe to surrender, Samuel put away the last bit of contempt for Vivian.
When Samuel received the task of "protecting Vivian" sent by Su Cheng, he learned that Vivian, a minor girl, went to lobby for the mountain barbarians who had not yet surrendered, was actually very unhappy.
Because Samuel felt that Su Cheng was just making a fuss, how could he let a little girl who was only 14 years old and underage start a lobbying mission?
Therefore, Samuel had a little contempt for Vivian at the beginning.
But after seeing Vivian so brave and decisive, Samuel put away all the contempt for Vivian in his heart.
He really began to regard Vivian as the backbone of the envoys this time, the supreme leader of the envoys this time.
After hearing Samuel's question, Vivian smiled at him:
"Did you think about the way to lobby the Mahe tribe? I had already thought about it. Before I arrived at the Ligasos, I had already thought about it."
Speaking of this, Vivian changed the subject:
"Samuel, do you know the tribal structure of the mountain barbarians?"
"I don't know." Samuel shook his head, "I don't have much research on mountain mantras. I only know that their level of civilization is very backward and they live a tribal life."
"Each tribe of the mountain barbarians has a patriarch and a wizard." Vivian talked to Samuel, "The patriarch is the ruler of the tribe. When the old patriarch dies, a new patriarch will be elected through elections. The patriarch can only be elected from the warriors."
"And the wizards of each tribe are not elected through elections."
"Compared with the patriarch, the wizards' work is more complicated and diverse."
"Responsible for organizing various sacrificial activities of their respective tribes, such as sowing festivals and harvest festivals, and also responsible for organizing the wedding of each new couple."
"At the same time, we are also responsible for giving each man who passed the trial and obtained the qualification to become a warrior, totem on his face."
"Not only that, the wizards are also doctors in every tribe, responsible for healing and treating the injured and sick people in the tribe."
Upon hearing this, Samuel sighed:
"Wow, it's really not easy to be a wizard of the mountain barbarians. You have to know medical skills, know how to tattoo people, and know how to organize sacrificial activities."
"Yes, so it is very difficult to become a wizard, so wizards are not elected by election like the patriarch."
"When every wizard takes office, he will take one person with potential and interested in the work of a wizard as an apprentice. He will take the apprentice with him and teach him step by step all the skills and knowledge that a wizard should possess."
"When he dies, this apprentice will inherit his mantle and become the new wizard."
"Generally speaking, the wizards of every tribe actually do not have real power."
"Yeah, I can see." Samuel interrupted at this time.
Samuel nodded and continued:
"From the work of the wizards, we can see that they must not have much real power in the clan. After all, the work they do is all work that cannot be controlled by the patriarch."
"Well, the theory is like this. But there are always surprises."
"This is the accident of Ma He tribe."
"The power structure of the Mahe Ministry is a very rare binary structure."
"Other tribes are all existences that the clan leader has the dominant power and have no one in the clan can compete with."
"But the Mahe tribe is not like this now."
"Now in the Mahe tribe, the patriarch and the witch doctor, both hold great power, and the two check and balance each other."
"Huh?" Samuel frowned, "Why is this happening? Logically speaking, the power of a wizard should not be great enough to compete with the patriarch."
"Well, theoretically speaking, this is true. The Mahe tribe used to be the only one who was the leader of the clan in the past, just like other tribes."
"But until the current patriarch took office, some changes happened."
"The reason why the current patriarch of the Mahe tribe was able to successfully take office was greatly helped by the wizard."
As soon as Vivian finished speaking, Samuel said lightly.
Although Vivian had not finished speaking, Samuel had already guessed what was later.
And Vivian continued to say at this time;
"Of course, it is impossible for the wizards of the Mahe tribe to help the current patriarch get to power for no reason."
"The wizard asked him to give him some power after he was promoted."
"In order to successfully take office, the current patriarch of the Mahe tribe can only agree to the wizard's condition."
"With the help of the wizard, the current patriarch of the Mahe tribe finally succeeded in taking office."
"After taking office, the current patriarch of the Mahe tribe also fulfilled his promise and gave some of the power to the wizard."
"After gaining the great kindness of the patriarch and gaining some power from the patriarch and having these two most important things, the wizard relied on his means and wisdom to start to strengthen his power bit by bit."
"So, to this day, the power structure of the Mahe tribe has formed today's dual state. The patriarch and the wizard checked and balanced each other."
"The patriarch of the Mahe tribe is naturally increasingly dissatisfied with the growing wizard power."
"The wizards of the Mahe tribe are becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the patriarch who is increasingly disobeying him and who is increasingly disagreeing with him."
"So, the relationship between the two is very bad now and there are more and more conflicts."
Conflicts begin to occur frequently in many big and small matters.
"After our Britannian Empire issued a declaration of war to them, the two of them had a disagreement as always."
"The patriarch of the Mahe tribe insisted on fighting to the end."
"And the wizards of Mahe tribe plan to surrender to us obediently."
"The reason why the Mahe tribe has not expressed their attitude to this day is that the Mahe tribe has a wizard force that insists on surrendering."
"No one can move each other, and no one can do anything to each other, and they are just stalemate."
"I guess, at this time when we were chatting, the patriarch and wizard of the Mahe tribe might still be quarreling about whether to surrender or fight."
"I have to say that after learning that there was a conflict between the patriarch of the Mahe tribe and the wizard, I almost laughed happily..."
Speaking of this, a light, confident smile appeared on Vivian's face.
"This time I lobby for Ma He's tribe, the breakthrough point was on the wizard."
"At the same time, this time, the methods of lobbying Ma He's troops may be a bit bloody."
"…bloody?" Samuel hesitated.
