"The spiritual ancestors witness! You, come from the east of Luba? The white sea in the east? The big island in the sea?..."
"Ancestors testify! We come from the east! We are a kingdom in the lake, a vast continent shrouded by the Lord God! We have received divinely inspired prophecies and come across the sea..."
The Thousand Island Cold Current flows continuously to the south, bringing the coldness of the Arctic sea to the edge of the Kamchatka Peninsula. There is snow on the peninsula in October, and it has already reached sub-zero temperatures in November. On this cold coast,
In this biting cold wind, the two people beside the campfire were chatting enthusiastically and dancing. Even if they couldn't understand a complete sentence, they all relied on gestures and drawings on the snow, but their faces were full of surprise and excitement.
"Ancestors! You, your ships, actually come from the east of Luba, from the sea of Luba! Ah! You are not the tent department of Luba in the north, nor the island department of Luba in the south... You are... from Luba in the east
Kaibu! So that’s it, no wonder you have big ships, no wonder you are different from them!”
"Lord God! Luba? What is Luba? Is it the sea?"
Exploration captain Zuvalo blinked and repeated a word that always appeared in the other person's mouth. But when he heard Zuvalo's repetition, hunting captain Mu Quan had some misunderstandings. He hesitated for a while and put his hand into the thickness of the deerskin.
After groping for a while in his robe, he took out a long and narrow deerskin bag and a deer stomach water bag. Then, he solemnly handed the two items to Zuvalo and explained them seriously.
"Headman from Haibu! You treat me to something warm, broth. I treat you to something warm, deer! Lubar, it is the coldest winter, it warms the body, it can save lives!"
"What? These two, Luba? Invite me to eat?...Uh, is this your friendly custom?"
The exploration captain Zuvalo was stunned. Although he could not understand the other party's words, he vaguely guessed what the other party meant. He hesitated for a moment, took the water bag containing something, and also took the long and narrow bag. Then, he opened the water bag first.
, a strong smell of blood hit your nostrils instantly, but it was the blood drink most familiar to all tribes on the plateau!
"Ah? It smells so familiar! Is this blood wine? Or pure blood? Is it a sacrifice to declare the gods?..."
Exploration captain Zuvalo sniffed his nose and found no smell of wine. He looked at hunting captain Mu Dog again, who showed a simple smile and made a drinking gesture.
"Lu Ba! Drink, Lu Ba!"
"Gudu! Uh?...This smell? It's not human blood...it's deer blood?"
"Drink, Luba! From, here...heart!"
Seeing Zuvalo drinking the deer's blood, the hunting captain Mu Quan laughed happily. He pointed to his heart and signaled to Zuvalo that it was the most precious deer blood! In the tradition of Kamchatka tribes
, drinking each other's tribe's precious deer heart blood is an expression of friendship.
In the winter of tens of degrees below zero in Far North Asia, the Kamchatka tribe had neither wine to warm themselves, nor chili peppers, ginger, and sugar to warm their bodies. It could warm them up and restore their frozen and weak bodies.
There is only the most precious deer bark, the deer bark that can cure diseases and warm the body!
During this era, neither the cold-resistant rye from Europe nor the cold-resistant potatoes from the Americas were introduced to Siberia. For the Kamchatka tribes who domesticated deer, the most important food sources in their lives were deer and fish!
Deer, the precious domesticated deer, are the source of daily necessities for most tribes!
Deer meat is the staple food of the tribe. Deer fur can be used to keep out the cold and make armor. Deer antlers can be made into daily utensils such as needle combs. Deer bones are used to make bone tools. Deer sinews are used to make bows...and are used to treat diseases and warm the skin.
The body, used to save lives in the winter snow, is three kinds of deer bark, or three kinds of deer treasures: deer heart blood, deer whip and deer fetus!
Of course, deer fetuses are the basis for the continuation of the deer herd, and Kamchatka tribes are generally reluctant to use them unless the nobles of the tribe are seriously ill. Therefore, there are only two types of deer fetuses that are common to save people's lives...
"Phew! If you drink this deer's blood, your body will feel warm instantly!..."
The exploration captain Zuvarro drank a few sips of the deer's heart blood and felt his whole body heat up and his face flushed. The biting cold night wind seemed to become gentle in an instant.
"Lord God! It's such a good thing! Come on, take a sip and warm yourself up!..."
Under the reluctant gaze of the hunting captain, Tom, he handed the water bag containing the deer's blood to several kingdom warriors behind him, and let these warriors from the south take a few sips. Then, he opened another long and narrow leather bag.
When I saw the dried shape of the bag, the expression on my face was wonderful.
"Ah this? This is also Luba?..."
"Luba! Food, Luba! Warmth, life-saving!..."
"Uh...you want me to eat this? Lord God, the habits of these tribes are really strange!..."
The exploration captain Zuvalo hesitated for a few breaths, thinking of trusting the local Jiaoman brothers to obtain more important intelligence and information... After a moment, he opened his mouth fiercely and bit down, as if he was rushing to eat.
Like a beast…
"Ancestor! You...eat less, eat sparingly!...This, this is something that can cure diseases and save lives in the wind and snow! What's more, if you eat too much, you will..."
Seeing this scene, hunting captain Mu Quan's heart dripped with blood and he felt vaguely regretful. Hunter Mu Lu, on the other hand, opened his eyes wide and looked at the leader of the Longship Tribe in front of him, sighing in awe.
"Ancestor! What a powerful tribal leader! He actually drank so much deer bark and ate so much deer bark... This... I will be unable to recover from this for several days!..."
The wonderful misunderstanding ended quickly, and the long "negative" effects will be left behind. The exploration captain Zuvarro held his head high and expressed his "most sincere goodwill." Then he took out a long boat brought by the longship.
A bow, a bag of bronze arrows, and a bronze ax were given to the hunter Mulu as another friendly gift. Then, with a burning look in his eyes, he pointed at the recurved compound bow behind Mulu with a smile.
He made it clear and waited patiently.

!Haibu in the east is really as good as Luba!…”
Hunter Mulu stroked the fir longbow in his hand, felt the extremely high-quality elastic wood of the bow body, and looked at the simple and even crude production process. He sighed with regret. Then, he touched the bronze with joy.
Hit the axe with a stone axe a few times and listen to the crisp sound.
"Huh? The golden ax doesn't seem to have become brittle. It should be made of bronze... Unlike the iron ax, it can be used in winter! Hahaha, it's really good!..."
Hunter Mulu held the copper ax and giggled happily. He recognized bronze, and the tribe also had very few bronze wares. They were obtained from fighting with other tribes and have been passed down and used for many generations.
Compared with iron that is easily frozen and brittle, bronze alloys are better able to withstand low temperatures. Although simple tin materials will suffer from "tin plague" in severe cold and turn into tin powder that can be crushed with a pinch, copper, tin and lead are
If the alloy is used, there will be no problems and it can still maintain a certain degree of toughness in extreme cold temperatures of tens of degrees below zero.
"Huh? You want my bow in return?"
Hunter Mulu smiled honestly for a while before he saw Zuvarro's clear instructions. He thought for a moment, then generously handed the compound recurve hunting bow on his back to Zuvarro.
"Ancestors witness! Here you go! A return gift from a friend, thank you for the broth and gifts!..."
"Haha! Praise the Lord God! Praise our separated brothers!"
Exploration captain Zuvalo smiled brightly and nodded with satisfaction. He touched the bow body made of multiple materials and handed this compound recurve bow, which he had never seen before, to the kingdom warrior behind him. Then, he thought for a moment,
He said to the warrior leader Kapu Shijian.
"Shi Jian, bring me two kilograms of gold, and bring your majesty's most important box of 'credentials'!...I want them to identify it!...May the Lord bless me! I don't know these strange tribes."
, is it the three islands and tribal alliance predicted by His Majesty, or some kind of female straight tribal alliance..."
"Yes! Captain!..."
