Chapter 1804 Independent heart, struggling to survive
The Langas people on the Langas plain still have a good shamanic heritage, but they are also denounced as barbarians by the Nese people. So what about the Irusk people who even have a weak shamanic heritage?
Do you really think that we can all be treated equally as humans?
As early as the first time he entered the elf city and was watched as animals with long golden ears, Ryan gave up all naive ideas.
He puts all his thoughts on how to survive, not only himself, but also his family and friends. Being near Elfaran, he can have access to Nese magic, but he must not give up elven magic.
Because that would mean that Irusk had self-destructed his independent heart and started to do so, which would completely ruin Irusk's path to survival.
The leaders continued to discuss for a while and then dispersed. There was still a lot of resistance to the autumn harvest. It was not just the leaders who agreed. They also needed to convince all parties, which was not an easy task.
…
After the other leaders left, Ryan did not immediately summon his subordinates to discuss the autumn harvest. Instead, he came to the dock on the west side of the settlement.
When he saw an obviously elf-style ship docked at the dock, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief. He grabbed a person on the road and asked:
"Where is Matt now?"
"Ah—Lord, Captain Matt is still on the ship. You can see him when you get there."
Ryan nodded and walked towards the direction where the ship was docked. As soon as he got close to the ship, he heard a familiar rough voice yelling and cursing:
"I don't know what I'm thinking every day. Are they all pig brains? How many times have I taught you that this is a magic ship. Don't move where there are magic runes. Don't move. Why don't you listen!"
"But Captain, this place has been damaged. If we don't repair it, something may happen next time we go to sea!" A voice said weakly.
"I won't do it if I say no! Do you know how much this boat is worth? I can't afford it even if you buy it!"
Ryan was listening outside, his eyes a little dim. He understood that Matt actually didn't necessarily know that this so-called magic ship did not have real magic capabilities at all, but it cost such a high price. If it was not regarded as a real magic ship,
I always feel a little unwilling to be treated.
well--
After sighing silently in his heart, Ryan walked into the cabin, and after driving the maintenance man out, he pulled Matt and sat down on the toolbox in the cabin, looked directly into each other's eyes, and said slowly:
"You know, this ship is not a magic ship!"
"But why! We obviously paid the price of the magic ship! Are those long-eared people really deceiving us that we are worse than barbarians!"
"There is no need to say these words. Who knows if there are elf ears here." Ryan reminded him calmly and stopped the topic.
Matt seemed to have come to his senses at this moment, "I understand, I will let them repair and maintain the ship. Don't worry, sir, it won't delay the big event."
"So, you still haven't gained anything from your trip to sea this time?"
"It can't be said that there is none at all. About two days' voyage from the northwest, I found a small island somewhere. It's just that the island is completely covered with ice and snow, so it's impossible to plant at all. However, the fishing around it is pretty good, and it can barely be used as food.
A temporary shelter.”
"Didn't I ask you to look south? Why did you go north?"
"Didn't some people see the shadow of an island in the north in the past? Now that we have advanced elves' ships, we have to confirm the existing clues first. If we really find a suitable island, we don't have to look for it again in a short time.
Already."
"You——"
Ryan did not blame Matt. The risk of sailing was huge. Even with the elf ship, it may not be possible to return safely every time. It would be good to confirm the existing clues first.
In addition, there is another layer of worry in his mind, that is, Irfalan in the south is also close to the sea. If there are habitable islands in the southern seas, will they have been discovered and occupied by Irfalan?
Thinking of this, Ryan reminded again: "When exploring to the south, pay more attention to the traces of elves, and be sure not to conflict with them."
"grown ups--"
"Remember?" Ryan said sternly with a straight face.
Although Matt was very reluctant, he still agreed. He clenched his right fist and hit his chest heavily to show that he would never violate it.
Seeing that Matt remembered his words, Ryan's tone softened, "I will find a way to buy a sea chart from the Nese people, but now, you need to take a little more risk.
"The development space here in Irusk is too small. Even if all the orcs in the north of the Mirar River are wiped out in the future, we cannot leave such a fertile land to our discretion. We must find a more suitable development space."
"I understand, sir, just wait for my good news!"
"It won't take more than a day or two. This is a long-term plan. In the next few days, you can repair the ship first, and then go home and rest for two days. In two days, you may evacuate to the south."
"Withdraw to the south? Is it because of what happened at the Spine of the World in the north?" Matt asked quickly.
The accident just happened so quickly. He was busy repairing the ship and didn't pay much attention to it. By the time he came out, it was over. However, the Spine of the World in the north changed from white at the top to gray at the bottom. It became gray at the top and white at the bottom.
He can still see it.
If we want to evacuate to the south, based on past experience, doesn't it mean that the orc wave is coming soon?
Matt's heart was in a mess now. Seeing this, Ryan comforted him:
"Yes, the evacuation will begin in the next day or two. If you are worried, you can take your family to the small island in the north to live temporarily, and then send them back after the orc tide is over."
"Will there really be another orc wave this year? Shouldn't the orcs suffer heavy losses due to such a natural disaster? How come there is still a orc wave?"
Matt did not doubt Ryan's judgment, he just found it difficult to accept that every year, even if the orcs were able to retreat into the Levi Forest, many people would still die.
However, when he heard Ryan say that he could take his family to the island, Matt was heartbroken but still refused, "The situation on the island is unknown, and I don't want to make it difficult for the lord, so I'd better let Lily and the others go with everyone.
Evacuate."
His elf ship is no secret. There was a lot of opposition when it was first purchased. If he uses the official ship for private use, it will be difficult not only for him, but also for the lord.
Ryan was very pleased with Matt's choice, and at the same time secretly told himself that he must protect Ryan's family.
Before leaving, he gave one last reminder, "Sailing on the sea is far away from the land and people's hearts change. If you treat the crew better, you can avoid many accidents."
"Well, I understand."
Ryan observed Matt himself and saw that he really listened, so he left with peace of mind.
