Jalaba Thor is the former 'prince' of the Red Flower Valley tribe, to be precise, he is the son of the previous chief.
A few years after the Usurper's War, a fierce civil war broke out in the Red Flower Valley tribe on Zale Island. Jalaba's father, the then chief, was killed by his own people, and Jalaba Thor also fled hastily by boat.
overseas.
He wandered all the way to the continent of Essos and lobbied various city-states in the hope of helping him regain his tribe. However, he encountered ruthless rejection and ridicule from various city-states.
Later, until Jaraba Thrall finally came to King's Landing, King Robert was somewhat moved by the honor of conquering the Summer Islands, but he encountered opposition from his ministers. At that time, the Iron Throne was burdened with huge foreign debts and was unable to launch expeditions. Therefore,
Finally had to give up.
Later, Jalaba Thror did not give up and came to see Viserys, but he was also rejected.
But now the prince of the Red Flower Valley tribe has simply given up on himself and stayed in King's Landing to squander every day. Anyway, the gold and silver jewelry he brought with him when he escaped was enough to last him a lifetime.
The current chief of the Red Flower Valley tribe is the man who usurped the position of Jalaba Sol's father. He was a priest in the tribe, but after killing the chief, he became the new chief. However, his age is also different.
He's grown so big that he needs a cane to walk.
The chief of the Red Flower Valley tribe carefully asked Asha to confirm that they were not invited by Jalaba Thror to attack the Summer Islands. After receiving a negative reply, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Asha had actually seen this dark-skinned fat man when she was in King's Landing. Most people in the city regarded him as a strange laughing stock. After all, he looked and dressed differently from everyone else, but he still...
Often drunk.
Asha actually came to the Red Flower Valley tribe to recruit some soldiers to make up for the losses caused by the storm, and also to provide supplies for the last time, because they were about to reach Nass Island in a few days' voyage from here.
The female general who claimed to be from the Valyrian Empire expressed her intention to come, and the chief of the Red Flower Valley tribe immediately agreed.
In fact, there was nothing he could do if he didn't agree. The empire's fleet was arrayed on the sea, ready to rob him if he didn't agree.
Then the chief also kindly invited Asha to come to the tribe as a guest, but Asha had to agree after declining.
The fleet lost about a few small warships and hundreds of soldiers when passing through the storm. There are still many young men in the Red Flower Valley tribe who are willing to join the fleet.
Mainly because the imperial fleet blocked the door of their home with great force, which left them deeply shocked and wanted to go outside to take a look.
And their tribal chief had no choice but to let it go.
Asha's brief visit to the Red Flower Valley tribe also allowed her to learn something about the culture of this land. After all, the Midsummer Islands will be her neighbors for some time to come, so it is very necessary to establish good relations with her neighbors in advance.
In the Summer Islands, people believe that the art of bed-making is an important and even sacred skill, because it is related to the survival of the race, and they regard the act of reproduction as the most sacred sport.
Moreover, prostitutes are also respected in this land, and even some people of noble birth on the island also engage in this profession.
The natives of the Summer Islands respect their elders. In order to pay tribute to the dead, their customs include drinking and having sex. Archery is also another important cultural skill here. Their special bows have a much farther range than others.
.
There is a special kind of tree called Golden Heart that is abundant in the Midsummer Islands. Bows and arrows made from this tree can shoot very far. Most of the warriors on the island are sharpshooters.
At the same time, people on the Midsummer Islands also brew a kind of amber liqueur. They don't grow much food and mainly eat fruits and fish.
Asha tasted this sweet and delicious wine at the tribe's banquet. She even thought it was sweeter than the wine abundant in Qingting Island, but it was too sweet and lacked some excitement.
The chief of the Red Flower Valley tribe also made a point of introducing his son to Asha. Looking at the dark-skinned man with colorful feathers in front of him, he kept showing off his muscles in front of Asha, just like a
Asha suppressed her desire to complain about the courting male peacock.
The chief's purpose couldn't be clearer. He hopes to 'marry' his son to this imperial female general with a heavy army. This is tantamount to preparing a protective umbrella for him, so that he will not have to make the same mistakes again after his death, and neither will the Red Flower Valley tribe.
Then endure the humiliation from the Sweet Lotus Valley tribe on the other side of Zal Island.
In recent decades, the Red Flower Valley Tribe has been inferior to its rivals on the other side of the island, especially after the civil war broke out. Now the Red Flower Valley Tribe has been swallowing its anger. After seeing this powerful army passing by,
, the chief took action to win over.
It's a pity that the chief's "beautiful man trick" was somewhat ineffective. Asha was not very interested in the flamboyant "peacock", and the chief's son Zabudo Dele had to retreat to the side to drink wine.
"Fresh water on the island is scarce, so these tribes can only rely on the Red Flower Valley tribe."
The chief of the Red Flower Valley Tribe talked eloquently, mainly to promote how powerful the Red Flower Valley Tribe was, second only to the three major tribes on Valano Island, and hoped to gain the friendship of the Imperial Navy.
And Asha also gradually deepened her understanding of this mysterious land that few Westeros people have set foot in while chatting with the chief.
She is very interested in the golden heart tree that is abundant on the local island and the bows and arrows made from this wood.
Because she had just witnessed the performance of the tribe's soldiers, using a golden long bow to generate more than a hundred pounds of tension, and easily shot it over a distance of more than 280 yards, and nailed it hard.
It hit the tree trunk, and the force was still enough to penetrate the enemy's leather armor at a distance of 280 yards.
In Westeros, it is difficult for most longbows to shoot at such a distance and with such power, and most of them are less than 250 yards away.
Asha wants to purchase a batch of these golden heart wood bows from the chief of the Red Flower Valley tribe. If you buy such bows and arrows in a city like Volantis, it may be expensive, but in an origin like the Summer Islands, golden heart wood is very expensive.
There is as much as there is, and the price is not very expensive.
The chief also wanted to win over the empire's fleet, so naturally the price was not high and he agreed.
"There are not many golden heart trees here in Red Flower Valley."
“Golden heart wood is produced here in Jinshou Peninsula.”
The chief promised to send tribesmen to the Jinshou Peninsula to cut down the golden heart wood, and then provide the imperial army with golden heart wood bows.
"Chief Dele, why is this place called Jinshou Peninsula?"
Asha looked at the map pointed by the chief and felt a little strange when hearing the name, and then asked casually.
"Oh, because someone once picked up a piece of gold the size of a human head here, and it looked like a human head, so it was called the Golden Head Peninsula."
The chief heard the translator retelling Asha's question, waved his hand and said nonchalantly, but Asha was slightly stunned when she heard his words.
