The north wind blows, and the bay turns, with towering mountain islands and rugged cliffs. The ocean-covering ship adjusts its sails and sails cautiously in the bay, not daring to go too fast. This rugged and complex coast is formed by the local Qingit tribe.
In the mouth, it was called "Tongass", which means "windy bay". In later generations, it inherited the name of the indigenous people and was called "Tongass National Forest Park".
Since it is called a "forest park", it means that the forest is really dense and there are many trees. It is green and red. On the high mountains and islands along the coast, there are straight upward redwoods and hard maples that have not yet turned red.
The trees among these cliffs are so tall and spectacular that you can only barely see the crown of the trees by looking up from a boat.
The height of these redwoods is usually more than thirty or forty meters, and they are arranged densely together. And the magnificent extending branches reflect the sea and sky with a faint blue color. I don’t know how many cold and summer days it took to get there.
Grow from the mountains and seas to the clouds!
"O Bodhisattva! There are so many, so many tall and straight trees!... Witness the Lord God! If these huge trees stretching as far as the eye can see could be cut down, a thousand large ships with thousands of materials could be built!..."
"Haha, the Lord God is witness! Gold Shipwright, you haven't seen the big redwood forest along the west coast, where the Tolova tribes are located! The fifty-foot-tall trees are as tall as a mountain cliff, and the tree crowns reach straight into the clouds.
And the tallest giant tree among them can even reach a height of a hundred steps!…”
"What? A huge sacred tree that's a hundred steps high?!...How is it possible in this world that there is such a tall sacred tree? Wouldn't it take thousands of years to grow, become a spirit, and become a spirit..."
"Ah, what are you talking about? Elf?...Oh! That sacred tree of Izumo is indeed a gift from the Lord God. It is a great sacred tree worshiped by many tribes around it!..."
The strong winds along the coast allowed the sea-going ships to travel two hundred miles in one day. In early August, the sea-going ships passed the end of Tongass Bay and arrived at the Kingdom's Condor Wing Port.
Among the ports along the way, the Eagle Wing Port is the largest, with more than 300 tribesmen, making it the largest "Longship Tribe" within two hundred miles. Among the tribesmen at these ports, both
There are the Chinsian tribe from the south coast, the Chingit people from the north coast, and even the Haida people who defected from the big island on the west side.
The tribesmen of all tribes have converted to the main god and have the emblem of the main god engraved on their foreheads. More than 400 acres of potato fields have been cultivated in the port camp, as well as a long boat and 50 to 60 fishing canoes.
The kingdom priest in charge of the Eagle Wing Port is called matzatli. The meaning of this name in Nahua language is "pineapple".
"Praise the Lord God! Dear Priest Miki, we have investigated clearly. There are no big tribes in this area. It is the junction of the Tsimshian, Qingit and Haida people. And we can gain a firm foothold in this area.
The Eagle Island tribe in the south gave us a lot of help! Especially, they helped us build many canoes and fishing boats..."
"Praise the Lord! Priest Pineapple, I know that in order to gain the support of the Eagle Island Department, you also married the daughter of Chief Qinying as your wife...Thank you for your hard work!..."
"Ah! Dear Priest Mickey, this is all the guidance of Priest Zuvalo! ... His third wife is the sister of Chief Qin Ying... The noble Priest Zuvalo is the one who risked his life for the Lord God!
…”
"Well. Priest Zuwaro, he has always been like this! Now, he has arrived at the Shenqi Continent on the other side of the sea, and he has married a wife from some mountain tribe to personally marry the Xihai tribes... In this regard, I
But it’s far inferior to him…”
The ship stopped at the Eagle Wing Port for two days, and then traveled two hundred miles southeast to the Eagle Island tribe of the Qinxian people. This large tribe of a thousand people was very enthusiastic about the kingdom's ships, and even some
Many tribesmen wear the sun amulet of their main god.
The reason for this enthusiasm and closeness is, on the one hand, the strength of the kingdom's military force and the marriage of the two tribes. On the other hand, it comes from the potato fields that are about to be harvested in the Eagle Island tribe. In close exchanges with the kingdom's ports, they also
Cold-resistant potatoes began to be planted, and a harvest was harvested last year, which shocked the entire tribe.
In the eyes of the Eagle Island tribesmen, the main god "Huitziloppo" is the "real god of vegetation" and "the god of potatoes". In addition, they also call the harvested potatoes "the god of Huitziloppo".
fruit"…
"Praise the great spirit Huitziloppo for giving us a abundant harvest and the hunger-resistant Huitziloppo fruit...the Huitziloppo radish!..."
"Well...praise the Lord God! He gave us potatoes..."
After praying with the Eagle Island tribe, there was a grand welcome dinner. The food in summer was very rich, and it was also a time suitable for the tribe to multiply. Everyone spent a fulfilling, enthusiastic and exhausting night before setting off to the south again.
Heading south from Eagle Island and traveling 800 miles of verdant coast, you arrive at the kingdom's Shenbei Fish Port. Shenbei Fish Port is located on the west side of Long Island in what was later to be Vancouver. The climate brings some warmth from the west coast, and there are many tribes around it.
Got up.
Mickey the Knowledgeable stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the scattered canoes and fishing boats outside the port, and remembered the origin of the name of this port. On a whim, he also lowered the net himself, but like Zuvalo, he only caught one fish.
There are large scallops from the shallow sea, as well as worthless California red abalone as huge as a turtle shell...
"Ah, what? So many shellfish?!...The Divine Shellfish Port is indeed a good omen from the Lord God, and it is the name inspired by the Lord God himself!..."
The Kingdom's Divine Shell Fish Port occupies a natural harbor in the northwest of Long Island, and is also close to the freshwater lake on the west side of Long Island. The current size of this port is similar to that of Condor Wing Port, both with around three hundred people. And the largest port camp
The most conspicuous thing is the potato field on the west side of the lake, which is flat and open and overgrown with weeds and potatoes.
"Old Fish Priest, Shenbei Fish Port is not only rich in fish, but also has a flat terrain. The climate here is relatively warm, and there is ample fresh water on the west side... In fact, on the entire far north coast, this is the most suitable place for planting.
We’re at the port!…”

Yes, this year we have cultivated 700 acres of potato fields, and we are just waiting for a harvest blessed by God!…”
"Haha! Very good, very good! The food in the ports on the far north coast depends on you! ... Tonight, I want to eat potato stew and fish soup, plus orange-flavored plateau oregano, and spicy enough
Red chili…"
"Okay! Praise the Lord God! Dear Priest Mickey, I will prepare another delicious roasted red abalone for you... I guarantee that you will have a night as strong as a leopard and fight a bear with your bare hands!"
"Eh? Roasted red abalone? Cough...cough! Priest Longfish, do you have any news from Whale Harbor? Where is the third batch of support fleet from the Kingdom?..."
"The third batch of support fleet?...Oh! Witness the Lord God! Last month, the longships from Whale Harbor brought news of the support fleet: The third batch of support fleet, a total of ten longships, has arrived.
The Kingdom’s Xishan Port… Calculating the time it took for the news to arrive, we estimate that the supporting fleet is now at the North Port at the exit of the river?…”
"Well, after passing the North Port of the Kingdom, there is the Whale Port at the end of the west coast. Maybe we can meet there... rest for two days, and we will set off again the day after tomorrow!..."
After two days of feasting, potatoes as small as duck eggs and abalone as big as the palm of your hand filled the cabin of the ocean boat. On the early morning of the third day, the ocean boat set sail, taking advantage of the sea breeze that was still blowing to the south, and quickly headed toward the whales.
The ship sailed to the harbor. Only six days later, the ship sailed around the Thousand Miles Island and arrived at the Whale Harbor Strait surrounded by whales.
"Oooh~oh~ah~ouch~"
The ear-splitting whale song echoes between the sea and the sky, and also spreads along the sea to the distance. It only takes an hour for this shocking song to reach the Great Whale Harbor five thousand miles away. And this five thousand miles of coast all the way
But it took the fleet more than a month, from early July to mid-August...
The shallow bay reflects the emerald green cliffs and projects the blue sky. At the east end of the Three Hundred Mile Bay is the warm and humid Bay of Hundred Lakes with numerous tribes, which later became the prosperous Seattle. And on the west side of the bay is
It starts with the gathering of whales and ends on the west coast with steep cliffs, the kingdom’s whale harbor.
"Ouch~ahhh~~um~ouch~~"
A group of whales splashed in the water and sang loudly, passing by the whale harbor, like the end of the world intersecting the corners of the sea. These fearless giant creatures in the sea are occasionally attracted by the strange songs of the opposite sex, and then curious and eager, they swim into the narrow strait offshore.
However, when the long-sailed ocean-going ship, following the curious giant blue whale, arrived at the narrow strait outside the whale harbor... what awaited them was not the beautiful whale of the opposite sex with beautiful songs, but twelve ships with sharp horns.
The whaling longship shone coldly in the golden sun~
