Zhou Li'an only gave a few instructions before leaving and did not leave a date for his return.
Just take advantage of these two days to let the two newly joined tribes complete the improvement of personal self-cultivation... which is also known as brain supplement as the saying goes.
Tushibu's belief has become very firm.
But they are different.
Having just witnessed divine punishment, if Zhou Li'an showed up smiling every day, it would easily cause a gap in the majesty of the gods.
After returning to the present world, Zhou Li'an has nothing to do.
Head to the Eugene Industrial Zone to order weapons...
If possible, see if you can customize some more iron armor.
Because, he finally saw that the aboriginal people in 1400 had no intention of brainwashing, and those who could do it would definitely not act blindly.
It was obvious that war was coming.
Zhou Li'an did not want the number of his people to suffer a sharp decline.
But brutal expansion in the short term is actually a good thing. It greatly improves productivity and can obtain more fur.
After completely ruling the Modoc tribe, and after a period of training and management, Zhou Li'an can consider large-scale migration and set off south.
Isn’t this better than being alone, climbing mountains and wading in rivers?
All the tribes encountered on the road surrendered and arrived in San Francisco to start the gold rush.
I have an AR15, you have a watermelon knife, step by step, we will become bigger and stronger and create brilliance!!
…
Picture stone valley.
Everyone's faces are filled with joy and longing for the future.
Every sunrise, some people spontaneously go to the altar to kneel and worship, and at sunset, they offer their richest food to the gods.
Even though it was cold when it was brought back, when the family ate, it tasted even better.
Of course, this is also because of salt.
Recently, the water consumption in Tushi Valley has increased, and the water transport team that originally only had to set off twice a day has become three times a day.
Not only did the number of people collecting water increase, but the urine from the slaughtered bison was also quickly made into water bags.
The men practiced their fighting prowess and went out hunting;
Women were busy tanning furs;
Children play and play;
A clever child heard the sound of reading outside the god's residence.
Soon after, the children in the valley sang a catchy Pinyin alphabet song.
It's sunset again.
The great elder summoned two elders to pay homage to the witch.
Praise my Lord, praise balance.
The two tribes of Earth and Snake surrendered, which was their highest honor.
In the name of "Lord of Balance", the Snow Lady forgave their sins, accepted their surrender, and spread the miracles of my Lord. Two more elders spread among the tribe.
The integration of several parts in a short period of time did not cause any trouble.
The same beliefs and pursuits have greatly improved the tolerance among all ethnic groups.
From ancient times to the present, tribes have been conquering, annexing, and marrying into foreign tribes.
For semi-nomadic tribes with no fixed abode, being able to settle down in Tushi Valley is a blessing.
The elders worshiped and left.
In the stone house, only the snow girl was left.
She sat beside her usual bed, deliberately setting aside a spot that belonged to Zhou Li'an, and did not dare to intrude in the slightest.
"On the first day and night when the master is away, I miss the master."
"On the second day and night when the master is away, I still miss the master..."
"It's already the third day...the master still hasn't come back...wuwuwu."
The snow girl started to cry.
In fact, her life is very boring. Since she became a tribal priest, her parents have been alienated from her. She has to kneel down when they see her, and she will never say any words of concern again.
Even her younger brother, Niu Shi, went to study every day and didn't dare to look at her.
A strong sense of loneliness filled the heart of the snow girl.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, Master, Yuki-onna misses you so much..."
"It turns out that there is a witch accompanying the snow girl, and the snow girl doesn't feel lonely or scared!"
"Master, can you hear the voice of the snow girl?"
"Oh, by the way, the master said that not all words will be heard by God."
The girl cried for a long time and finally wiped away her tears with strength.
She carefully imitated Zhou Li'an's usual behavior and pressed the switch of the energy-saving lamp.
Even though she had seen the light show up many times, she was still frightened and took a step back...
The snow girl clearly remembers that day when the master waved his hand to summon the artifact and said: "I say, there must be light."
Snap.
There is light!
Thinking of this, she suddenly blushed, and continued to lie on the table copying Pinyin, and her silent recitation was already sound.
Pages are filled with writing.
When the snow girl heard the footsteps, she did not raise her head, but said: "There is no need for midnight snacks tonight. Mother, you can go and rest."
However, the mother's usual respectful calls to worship did not come.
Two different feelings suddenly emerged in her heart.
One is the mother's offense against God.
One is the longing for family affection.
But in the end, the snow girl frowned and raised her head, ready to reprimand.
But when she looked up, she was momentarily stunned.
After half a second of freezing, she even forgot to kneel down. She pounced and ran into the embrace of the visitor, whimpering even louder——
"Uuuuuuuu, Master, the snow girl misses you very much."
"Why didn't you come for several days and nights?"
Zhou Li'an was quite surprised to be thrown into his arms.
Usually, the snow girl is quite restrained, even if she reveals her little girl nature in front of her, but most of the time, she doesn't dare to go beyond it.
Zhou Li'an was not angry because she could hear the bitterness and longing in the girl's voice, which came from her heart.
It's a bit tricky.
It turned out that I had never coaxed a child.
Whoosh.
Five or six chocolates fell into his hands, "Eat it, I'll make up for it tonight for you from the past few days. Don't cry anymore, okay?"
The snow girl looked at the chocolate and was stunned...
She probably didn't realize it, but she started licking her lips and swallowing saliva.
"Master, is it really okay?"
Hahaha.
As expected of you, Snow Girl!
"Eat, eat." Zhou Li'an pushed her away and threw the chocolate on the table. He also found that the pinyin copied by Xue Nu was already in shape, "After eating the exam, I passed the exam and there is still more to eat tomorrow. I didn't take the exam."
In the next seven days, there won’t be any left!”
The snow girl didn't care about the exam, so she happily peeled off the chocolate and stuffed it into her mouth.
【No! Baby Snow Girl! Spit it out!】
"Is it tasty?"
The snow girl smiled and nodded: "Master, it smells good!"
"If it smells good, eat more, hehehe."
【devil!!】
Zhou Li'an doesn't care so much. If he doesn't like to eat, he can eat it.
The system's portable space is a black technology. It can travel for 600 years without deterioration. How can the chocolate be contaminated just because of a corpse?
It's nothing more than a psychological effect.
Even if you hear about Laotan pickled cabbage, you still have to eat instant noodles.
Human beings are the creatures that are most attuned to themselves.
Before the snow girl could finish enjoying her snacks, the tribe elders who learned about our Lord's arrival came over again...
When Zhou Li'an appeared on the altar, he alarmed the tribe members.
Along the way, worship naturally continued.
The elders came in and knelt down.
Snow Girl hurriedly hid the chocolate and wiped her mouth with her sleeve. She received a stern look from Zhou Li'an, who made her face turn pale with fright.
Fortunately, Zhou Li'an did not get angry, but looked at the new face among the elders——
"I have felt your piety, and I wish that those who worship with balance will be my people."
Several newly joined elders were moved to tears.
“Kowtow to my Lord for your forgiveness!”
"We will repay our Lord's kindness with our bodies and souls."
Worship is over.
Zhou Li'an ordered them to stand up and talk.
The great elder said: "My lord, the number of newly recruited warriors in the warrior group has increased by one hundred, and the number of warriors in the Tushi Division has reached three hundred."
"After several visits to the surrounding tribes, we are no longer weaker than the large tribes. However, the weapons are scarce and need to be accumulated and built. In just one month, we will be able to set off again to spread the glory of balance for my lord."
A group of elders' faces were full of red light. In their eyes, they only saw war and plunder.
Zhou Li'an doesn't intend to change anything.
Although he always likes to convince people with reason and advocates peace, as a visitor from a foreign land, he always has to do as the local customs do and respect the local characteristics.
He glanced at the mountain climber and pointed.
Everyone saw something falling from the void, making a heavy collision sound.
When they lowered their heads, everyone was shocked.
A weapon that was far sharper than a copper dagger and several times longer reflected the soft and bright light in the room, making it dazzling.
And that cold light makes people feel scared even more unconsciously.
Zhou Li'an waved his hand again, and a spearhead fell on the ground. It was equally delicate and sharp, and was like a rare treasure in the eyes of everyone.
"My lord, this is..."
I still couldn’t hold my breath while climbing the mountain, so I couldn’t help but ask.
Zhou Li'an smiled faintly: "This is the reward for your contribution in leading the team this time. This is the dragon-slaying knife. It can cut through thorns and obstacles without any disadvantage!"
"This is a chrysanthemum/@花/ drill. It penetrates in and out, and it will go anywhere."
"Try it."
Both weapons were ordered by Zhou Li'an at the Eugene Tool Factory in the past two days. These are just samples, and more orders are being rushed to be made.
This batch of orders wiped out all my savings.
Made of DC53 steel in one stamping, 1,000 spearheads, 500 hunting knives, total price quoted is 40,000 US dollars.
This is a preferential price negotiated after signing a long-term supply contract and ordering 10,000 sets in the next year.
In addition, he also ordered tinplate, which is the kind of iron sheet that is similar to the thickness of cardboard and can fit well and be fixed on the leather armor.
For primitive tribes fighting with stone weapons, they already have a certain degree of defense.
The most important thing is weapons, offense is the best defense.
Therefore, even if he expands brutally, Zhou Li'an does not have to worry about casualties.
The blade of the hunting knife is 35 centimeters and the handle is 15 centimeters. When I tried cutting a cowboy bone at home, I used too much force and broke the plastic chopping board. There was no trace of wear on the blade.
When people from other tribes held stone daggers and could not pierce the iron leather armor several times, their own warriors had already cut off half of the enemy's head.
Not to mention the spearhead, the factory owner randomly found a picture of an ancient spearhead as a reference, and what he copied was a diamond-shaped design.
If the wound is pierced into the flesh, it will inevitably bleed. In addition to modern surgical procedures, if the aboriginal people only relied on primitive herbal medicine to treat the wound, it would be better to dig a hole early and save time.
Delivery time is ten days later.
But these two samples can make mountain climbing enjoyable first.
As expected, Shanshan picked up the dragon-slaying knife, his eyes glowed green, walked to the side and swung it down violently, hitting the table where Yuki-onna was studying.
boom.
The tabletop was split open with a huge crack.
"this……"
Everyone was shocked.
Trembling with excitement as I climbed the mountain, I knelt down and shouted loudly: "Praise my Lord, praise Balance! Thank you for my Lord's divine grace! I made an oath to spread the glory of my Lord across the earth, and the name of Balance will be respected by all living things."
, all people worship!!
Zhou Li'an smiled lightly.
And when climbing a mountain, after getting up, he shouted: "Bring some slaves and feed them with blood!"
The faces of the two newly surrendered tribe elders turned pale.
The Great Elder quickly said: "Clan Chief, calm down the fighting spirit. There are no slaves in our clan for a long time. Under balance, we are all subjects!"
The climber was stunned for a moment, then became embarrassed, scratching his head in embarrassment and laughing.
Zhou Li'an kicked the spearhead to his feet: "Put on the spear and take the hunting team out tomorrow to feed it with bison blood."
Tools must be tested. If the quality of the samples is not up to standard, you will definitely have to go back to the factory to make trouble.
Climbing the mountain and kneeling down, holding the spearhead in both hands, it feels like you have found a treasure.
Zhou Li'an looked at everyone again and said: "Ten days and nights later, I will bless the warriors and reward them with magical weapons!!"
The words fell.
Everyone was shaking like they were climbing a mountain...
The elders have long been unable to carry troops into battle, but they understand what this magical weapon means!
"Praise my Lord! Praise the balance!"
"We will definitely follow my lord's footsteps, conquer the earth, and unite all living things for my lord. Wherever my lord goes, we are all his subjects!!"
The tribal elders left.
Climbing the mountain, I ran into the warrior group to show off my lord's reward.
In the middle of the night, there was a lot of noise and excitement in the valley. Even the elders of the tribe came out to worship and observe when they heard that our Lord had come and gave the tribe leader a magical weapon.
No one dares to approach the stone house.
The snow girl happily listened to the cheers in the valley, came to Zhou Li'an, and knelt at his feet: "Master, it's great. The whole tribe is excited when the master returns."
Zhou Li'an was a little speechless.
Tell the snow girl to stop kneeling in the future. This is inappropriate!
Kneel down, these clothes are dirty, and he is a bit of a germaphobe.
Well, mysophobia is a disease, and you can’t blame the snow girl.
Afterwards, he began to assess the pinyin and asked Xue Nu to write silently. Although it was not natural to write with a pen, there was no mistake or omission.
Zhou Li'an was very satisfied, it proved that she had not slacked off in the past three days.
When I came here, I was also studying hard.
"After the exam, I'll give you some more chocolates, but you can't eat them until tomorrow."
The snow girl accepted it with joy, then climbed onto the bed and hid the chocolate under the bed...
Zhou Li'an has nowhere to complain.
You just finished kneeling and climbed onto the bed for me?
"Master, will you stay tonight?"
Zhou Li'an looked at the bed and frowned: "Next time."
"When will the master return..."
Before she could finish her words.
Zhou Li'an has disappeared.
The snow girl suddenly felt empty in her heart. She stood there in a daze, waiting for the sound of footsteps behind her: "Witch, has my master left? I have prepared food to bring to my master and you."
The snow girl turned around and saw her mother kneeling on the ground, her frown deepening.
"My Lord has left. Mother, please take it. I won't eat it."
The woman praised him again before standing up and leaving.
But just as she walked out of the door, a trembling cry came from behind: "Mother——"
The woman immediately stood still and turned around slowly.
Seeing the snow girl who shed tears unconsciously.
"Mom, can you, can you stay with me tonight? Wait until I fall asleep before you leave!"
The woman was stunned, and seemed to realize something. Her originally rather alienated expression could not help but reveal a bit of softness, and she smiled softly: "I'll tell your father when I go back... But it's only this time, Snow Girl, you
Now he is a witch."
"Then, I am also my mother's daughter. My mother gave birth to me."
The woman said nothing more, smiled, sent the things back, and returned quickly.
Just like countless nights, I gently stroked my daughter's back, and soon I heard the sound of the snow girl sleeping soundly.
But at this moment.
Whoosh.
A figure appeared.
The woman was startled. When she saw Zhou Li'an's figure, she immediately knelt on the ground: "My Lord atones for his sins. I, I didn't want to stay... It was the witch who felt lonely and ordered me to accompany..."
Before she could finish speaking.
Zhou Li'an let out a 'shhh' sound and watched the snow girl just turn over, then showed a slight smile and glanced at the brightly lit room.
He ignored the woman, turned off the energy-saving light switch, and took back the battery. Before leaving, he glanced at the snow girl again and pinched her nose: "I forgot to turn off the light again!"
Whoosh, he disappeared again.
The woman looked at this obviously skillful set of actions, thoughtfully, and then she smiled like an old mother.
"When did the snow girl, who is as smart as a raven, become so stupid? As long as you speak, God will definitely love you!"
However, she remembered her husband's warning and felt speechless. She quickly prayed a few times for forgiveness and praise, and then hurriedly fled the residence of the gods.
