After listening to the steward named Bourne's story about adventures in the North, the group of people came to the bilge. Suddenly, the strong smell of body odor, dried herbs, and feces and urine hit their faces.
Xia Duo subconsciously used the magic net to separate the smell, but the other two were not treated so well. Although they could smell the fresh air near Xia Duo, they did not dare to get too close and just frowned.
Fleck even covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves.
"&*@#￥*&!" Bourne yelled.
Everyone in the cabin immediately looked over, with nervousness and expectation in their expressions. The last old man in an animal robe carrying a bone staff walked out of the crowd, came to Xia Duo and others, and awkwardly said a "mage".
Etiquette, and then a burst of unfamiliar language.
Chateau realized that assimilating these Langas was not as easy as he thought. At least the language barrier was very troublesome. He looked at Bourne aside and asked, "What did he say?"
"Sir, he said that he is grateful to the kind Lord Xia Duo. Without your acceptance, their Kabu tribe would have been wiped out by the enemy. Also, he said that you, my lord, were given to them by the ancestors as their natural master."
"..."
Regardless of whether Byrne's translation has been modified or beautified, this sentence "the Lord given by the ancestral spirit" really poked a hole in Xia Duo. He was used to the belief in the Lord of Glory, and this belief in the ancestral spirit did not seem to be very harmonious with the rulers.
ah!
If everything is attributed to ancestral spirits, where does that leave the lord?
Although Xia Duo was a little unhappy in his heart, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he said calmly, "Welcome to join the Great Xia Territory. From now on, you will all be the subjects of the Great Xia Territory. I hope you will abide and obey."
Order of the Territory.”
After speaking, he stopped talking. After Bourne conveyed his words, Xia Duo walked around the cabin again and took a rough look at the number of people in the Kawan tribe.
Except for the leading shaman, there are no other old people. They are all young adults and children. Among them, there are about forty adult women and only about thirty adult men. There are quite a few children. At a glance, there are at least 60.
Bringing back more than 100 people at one time can be considered a big addition.
Back on the deck, Shado looked at President Fleck and made his request, "Find a few people who can speak Langas language to go with the ship to the Bactria Territory.
"In addition, in addition to transporting people to Severnton next year, the Langas people cannot be let go. I will provide corresponding funds. I hope you can establish a stronghold in the territory of the Langas people and bring them to Daxia in the long term.
Transport the population.”
"It's no problem for people who can speak Langas language, Bourne will say, and there are two people on the boat who can, but establishing a stronghold -" Fleck looked a little embarrassed, "Sir, although the Langas people are fighting each other,
, but I am still very wary of the Nese people, and I am worried that establishing a stronghold will hinder the recruitment of people."
Xia Duo thought for a moment and nodded, agreeing with Fleck's statement, but he asked again: "Can we cooperate with the big tribe over there to acquire the slaves of the defeated tribe? We can use weapons, armor, and even magic."
Scroll to pay.”
"Sir!" Fleck's expression changed, as if he was shocked by Sha Duo's words, but seeing the calm look on Sha Duo's face, he was in the slave business after all, and Fleck's mind became more active:
"Sir, maybe we can also support them in attacking other tribes to gain more people."
“[Biquge520 www.biquge520.xyz]……”
Xia Duo looked at Fleck carefully, and he had an idea! He did have this idea himself, but after thinking about it, he gave up. He did need a population, but he and the Langas were not enemies yet, so he couldn't commit such a crime.
Do.
There is no airtight wall in the world. He can't keep the Langas who have been conquered as slaves forever. Who knows if there will be a great arcanist among those people in the future? Isn't this just asking for trouble for himself!
Acting openly and uprightly is not just about looking good, but also has practical and long-term benefits. As a quasi-immortal, it is impossible for Xia Duo not to consider these things.
He gave Fleck a warning look and continued: "There is no need to do this. Daxia Territory is not a destroyer or a terminator. We are saviors and protectors. We are the ones who bring happiness and stability to the Langas people. You know
Yet?"
By the end of the sentence, his tone had become stern.
It was such a cold day that Fleck felt that his backside was wet. He knew that he had made a mistake and did not dare to hesitate. He quickly answered, "Yes, sir!"
"Go back, I will come to Savile Town again after a while, and then I will settle the expenses this time."
"yes."
Fleck left, but soon sent another person, who was said to be proficient in the Langas dialect of the North. After Chateau accepted it, he directly ordered the ship to sail.
It was not until night, under the illumination of Xia Duo's magic, that the cargo ship arrived at Linshui Village.
…
It was already late at night when a boatload of Langas were docked in the southern area of Linshui Village. However, Chateau still did not rest, but discussed the arrangements for these Langas with Leiden.
"Sir, the Langas people are not good at planting. I think they can raise livestock to supply the territory with meat. This is what they are better at. Some young people can also be incorporated into the territory guard. Now the territory has more and more people.
There are many, and my lord has said that there will be more next year and the territory will be expanded, so the number of guards will be somewhat insufficient."
There are currently only forty people in the Territory Guard, divided into four squads. It does seem a bit small, but Xia Duo is thinking about the magic troops. Currently, Simon has learned to use magic scrolls. As long as more people learn to use magic scrolls, the number of people will increase.
In fact, less is not a problem, as long as there are more scrolls.
On the other hand, Shado doesn't want these Langas to engage in the same jobs as they did before, such as fighting, raising livestock, etc. If he wants to assimilate, it is best to treat them as a blank slate and not spoil them.
.
However, Daxia Territory has not actually formed any unique advanced civilization. If you want to assimilate it, you still need to attract and transform it on the material level.
Such as food, clothing, housing and transportation.
But at the same time, these Nese people in Daxia Territory also need to be attracted and transformed on the material level, so that the spirit of civilization can be infiltrated into the material and influence them subtly.
Thinking like this, Xia Duo gradually came up with an idea, "Those Langas people will not arrange work for the time being. During the winter, I will arrange for someone to teach them the common language of Nese. If they can't have a simple conversation after spring, I will take them back."
The house I live in now.”
Although Xia Duo sent people to pick up these Langas people when they came to Daxia Territory, in fact, if they were not desperate, how could they be willing to leave their homes?
The houses just given to them were not given directly to them. This was different from the houses allocated to the territorial residents who had previously participated in the development of the territory. The houses given to the Langas were only for them to live temporarily.
If Xia Duo is not satisfied, he can take it back at any time, or even make them slaves directly.
The language must be unified. For the time being, Xia Duo cannot create a brand new Daxia language. Even if it is created, it will not make much sense. The influence of the Daxia community is really limited, and it is still necessary to use a language commonly used by the outside world.
The Nese language is not difficult to learn. Xia Duo has experienced it himself. Give them a winter and do not require them to be proficient. As long as they can understand simple instructions and carry out simple conversations, they can slowly work in the future.
study.
If this doesn't work, don't blame him for being rude.
