Many people's impressions of the natives of the Black Waste Continent are that they have dark skin, thick turned lips, flat noses, and thin curly hair close to the scalp. In fact, this is not the case.
There have been many tribes on the Black Waste Continent since ancient times. The physical differences between them are very large. Some are even greater than the differences between the Dongguo people and the Luoba people. If they are all regarded as the same race, they should be considered one.
a misunderstanding.
Manman's skin color is much lighter than that of the Gulu tribe here, but she is not a mixed race, but a standard black wasteland native. Their tribe has had this kind of physical characteristics since ancient times, and they first lived in the north of Kilili Country. Due to climate change
As well as various wars and conflicts, the population of this tribe is now very small, with almost no fixed habitat.
The tribe to which Manman belongs migrated to Fiso Port twelve years ago, just in time for the recovery period after the riots in Fiso Port. They settled near the port. Some people make a living by fishing, and others
I found a job at the dock. Now there are more than 900 old, weak, women and children in total, and they are very united.
Manman's identity is equivalent to the leader of this tribe, because she received the "blessing of the sea god".
Hua Zhenxing pays attention to his speaking skills. For example, he followed the topic of that night and asked Manman: "You told me the other day that Poseidon said you can't take other people's things without reason. What's going on? Is Poseidon the god you believe in? He also
What did you say?"
The earliest name of this tribe living in Fiso Port is unknown, but they now call themselves the Poseidon Tribe. It is also unclear what language they used in ancient times, but now they use the local dialect, which has no written characters.
.
Therefore, although they believe in Poseidon, there are no ancient books in the clan, only the "Poseidon Theory" passed down orally -
1. Poseidon said that those who serve Poseidon with a pure heart will be blessed.
Second, Poseidon said, Don’t create an image for me, as that will make people forget the beliefs I guide and only pray to my image.
Third, Poseidon said, "You are not allowed to act in my name. Everyone must be responsible for their own choices."
Fourth, Poseidon said, no work, no gain, everyone must get paid for their work, and cannot be lazy or take other people's things without reason.
Fifth, Poseidon said that only by uniting and caring for and helping each other can we cope with the test of suffering.
Six, Poseidon said, do not hurt innocent people.
7. Poseidon said that when innocent tribesmen are harmed, they must be helped and those who have been harmed must be punished. Apologies that cannot make up for the harm are not accepted.
8. Poseidon said that harm is the prerequisite for punishment.
9. Poseidon said, be honest and don’t frame others with lies.
10. Poseidon said that we must respect our neighbors as we respect ourselves.
Hua Zhenxing blinked when he heard this. He wanted to ask Manman if he had read the Bible and if he knew the "Ten Commandments" in it, but he still held back. The history of the Poseidon Clan is unknown, and various ancient myths
It is impossible to say how many versions have been circulated throughout history, and it is uncertain who will absorb whom and who will be integrated with whom.
The Poseidon tribe all believe in Poseidon, and everyone must memorize "Poseidon Theory" from the time they can speak. It is equivalent to the tribe's enlightenment education. None of them have seen Poseidon, and of course they are unlikely to see it, but they firmly believe that,
"Those who serve the God of the Sea" can receive "the blessing of the God of the Sea". There are real examples in the history of the tribe.
The Poseidon Clan has a special name for this kind of people, which can barely be called priests, but in fact its meaning is more complicated and is not entirely the concept of priest in Dongguo language. In Hua Zhenxing's view, it can also be understood as "
"Water magician", or a monk with a unique inheritance.
Only priests can master this secret technique. In the legends and collective memory of the tribe, such priests were once a group, passed down from generation to generation, and the tribe was also very powerful... But later due to various reasons, the powerful tribe fell apart.
Already on the verge of extinction.
They, a group of more than a thousand people, gradually moved south along the coastline under the leadership of a priest. Their survival became increasingly difficult. With the passing of the last priest, they almost fell into despair. After the priest died, the leader of the tribe became a temporary leader.
The elected patriarch is different from the priest in the traditional sense. He does not have the ability to control water.
Before the last old priest died, he told the patriarch in detail how to receive the blessing of the sea god and awaken the power, how to practice every step after awakening the power, and what can be done, combined with his own personal experience, so that he could not miss a word.
Write it down.
The patriarch received a gift from the last priest, but no matter what he did, he could not awaken the power, so he placed his hope on the children of the tribe. He didn't know anything himself, so he just asked the children to do what the old priest told him. In the process
They migrated to the port of Fiso, and at that time there were less than 700 people left.
Seven years ago, a child finally succeeded. According to the old priest's last words, she should have been blessed by Poseidon, passed the test of Poseidon, and successfully awakened her power. This child was Manman. At that time, Manman's
She was still young, so her progress in practice was very slow. It was not until four years ago that she mastered water control, and then she showed extremely high talent.
Since then, Manman has become the new priest of the tribe, but outsiders do not know her identity. She has never regarded herself as a sea god... The relatively closed neighborhood culture and the absence of written information environment make it easy to spread rumors.
, things turned out to be what Ciel had heard.
After listening to this history, Hua Zhenxing understood why Manman's methods were so scientific that she couldn't do anything except controlling water, because she didn't know! The priestly heritage of this tribe has actually been discontinued. Teach her
The old patriarch just followed the old priest's last words mechanically, and he didn't even understand anything.
When the Poseidon clan first came to Fesuo Port, there were less than 700 people left. Now there are more than 900 people in the clan, which shows that their situation has relatively improved. This is also related to the "Poseidon Gang". After all, it is a northern tribe.
The second largest force in the Bay Area after the Golden Gang.
In fact, the emergence of the Poseidon Gang is a misunderstanding, because the Poseidon clan is very united. A branch of the tribe with such a small number of people comes to a strange place and is ostracized and discriminated against. If it is not united, it will be difficult to survive.
Hua Zhenxing heard it right. The Poseidon tribe has indeed been discriminated against and excluded. The main reason is that their appearance is different, especially their skin color is neither black nor that white, much like a certain mixed race in Nanjian continent. In fact, this is a misunderstanding.
, they have been a tribe in the Black Wasteland since ancient times, but even if it is not a misunderstanding, it cannot change the fact.
On the other hand, they were lucky enough to coincide with the construction and development period of the International Terminal when they came to Fiso Port. They were more hard-working than many locals, and most of the young people participated in the construction of the terminal, and later became
Roustabout.
Manual labor also has professional skills, and these skills require learning and accumulating experience in practice. Employers at international terminals are of course willing to hire hard-working and more efficient workers, so they have gradually become the core practitioners of this industry.
Some people have also mastered the operation methods of some simple machines, which has formed a technical barrier to advantage. If outsiders want to join this group, they must first gain their recognition and work under their guidance.
So the Poseidon Gang appeared. It was not the name of the Poseidon Clan at first, but the name given to the entire group by other gangs. The real leader of the Poseidon Clan was the old patriarch who "taught" Manman how to practice.
In fact, he is also very young, only in his thirties this year.
Manman has a very special status in the Poseidon Clan. She has higher authority than the patriarch. She is the true leader in the traditional and spiritual sense of the tribe. However, Manman is still young and she respects the old patriarch very much, so she is still managed by the old patriarch.
I don't interfere with daily affairs at ordinary times.
As for Manman's age, not to mention herself, even the old clan leader couldn't remember clearly. She was born on the way of tribal migration. She didn't know who her father was, and her mother died of illness not long after.
The tribal custom is to put young children together and take care of them together by the women in the tribe. Children like Manman sometimes cannot tell who is who, and they often have names only after they can speak. Not only Manman,
Among the tribesmen who were born before arriving at Fiso Port, many do not know their specific ages.
The Poseidon tribe came to Fesuo Port twelve years ago. By that time, Manman could already walk, speak and memorized the Poseidon theory. From this, it can be inferred that she should be about the same age as Hua Zhenxing, one or two years older or more.
It could be a year or two younger.
The new alliance is making big moves in the Beiwan District. If the Golden Gang is eliminated, the next step may be to annex the Poseidon Gang's territory. This is the judgment of the old patriarch. The old patriarch also carefully investigated the situation of the new alliance and thinks that it may be possible in the future.
Join the new alliance, but the current situation is unclear and you cannot take the initiative to get involved in the conflict between the new alliance and the Golden Gang.
Of course the old patriarch would discuss such an important decision with Manman. Manman was also paying attention to the situation of the new alliance. She had noticed Hua Zhenxing from the beginning and believed that compared to Shire, Hua Zhenxing was the one who really had the final say.
people.
Although Old Man Yang said that this girl is a bit short-sighted, she is more capable and has better eyesight. She has been secretly following Hua Zhenxing and helped him. Of course she hopes that the new alliance can kill the Golden Gang, so she found
When there was any danger, he took the initiative to remind Hua Zhenxing, but unexpectedly, Hua Zhenxing "find" him and even invited him to his home.
After hearing this, Hua Zhenxing turned on his phone and asked, "Is this the old patriarch of the Poseidon clan? He was the one who came here to pick up your phone for you yesterday. What's his name?"
Manman nodded and said: "Yes, that's him! His name is Zha Xin. Why do you have Zha Xin's photo in your phone?"
Hua Zhenxing: "Give me your mobile phone. It has many functions besides making calls. I'll teach you how to use it... Let's use the Dongguan interface. Even if you don't know the words, you can remember how to operate it.
"
Of course, the photo of Zha Xin was secretly taken by Li Xiaoyang yesterday. This old patriarch is much darker than Man Man. So Li Xiaoyang was also negligent and did not realize the difference between him and the local aborigines. Everyone has different facial features.
Well, maybe this person's appearance is not so popular.
Only now did Hua Zhenxing realize that the reason why Zaxin was so dark was simply because he was tanned on the dock. Didn't you see that Uncle Mo's skin was also quite dark? Many people in the Poseidon Gang were darker, so they should have been tanned, but it was Manman.
It seems a bit different.
After chatting about their historical background, the two began to study modern technology. Hua Zhenxing taught Manman how to unlock various functions of modern smartphones and helped her download several applications.
The two were originally sitting across from each other across the stone table, and there were stone piers on all sides of the stone table that served as seats. At this moment, Hua Zhenxing moved over and sat side by side with Manman. He moved the heavy stone pier over smoothly.
.
While studying her cell phone, Manman accidentally asked: "Hua, who did you learn your witchcraft from?"
Hua Zhenxing: "That's not witchcraft, and I don't believe in Poseidon either."
Manman: "I know you are not from the Poseidon clan, so who gave you the power?"
Hua Zhenxing: "It's not the power that was given to me by anyone, it's the state that I cultivated myself...Have you ever heard of the art of nourishing energy?"
