As far back as the Middle Ages, European wizards were aware of the existence of America and had many contacts with the magical tribes among the local indigenous people.
This exchange still maintains a relatively peaceful and friendly stage.
But with the opening of the Age of Discovery, the colonists brought guns, germs, and steel, and massacred the local indigenous people, and peace turned into hatred.
Coupled with the emergence of the Purifiers, the relationship between European wizards and indigenous American wizards has also become delicate.
Of course, in this day and age, the Magical Congress of the United States of America has established the New Order of the North American Wizarding World, and both sides can be considered to be living in harmony.
But in this remote area, Rove still kept a distance from the North American aborigines and had no intention of contacting them.
It was just that the Indian girl knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously, which he couldn't ignore.
The young man had no choice but to stop the car, roll down the window, and ask:
"Excuse me, how can I help you?"
Although the indigenous people of North America are called Indians, it is a collective term for all indigenous peoples except the Inuit, and does not refer to a specific ethnic group or race.
Therefore, the languages of the aboriginal people are different. It is not an exaggeration to say that they have different pronunciations. If you are not a professional, it is really difficult to communicate with them.
Fortunately, this Indian girl can speak English. Although her accent is worse than Fleur's, I can finally understand what she is saying.
"My name is Dana...Some people in our tribe have been poisoned...Many people have died...Please...who can contact the healer...save them..."
Margaery was sitting in the passenger seat, her gaze fell directly into Dana's eyes, she carefully considered and thought, and said softly:
"Where is the witch doctor in your tribe?"
"After my mother died, I became a witch doctor." Dana said tremblingly, "But I have never seen that kind of poison before, and I can't treat it."
Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes and slowly flowed down her cheeks.
"Help me, save my people, I can do anything for you."
Margaery looked at the girl meaningfully for a long time, and finally whispered to Rove: "She didn't lie."
Luofu nodded gently and breathed a sigh of relief.
Margery can look through memories, see into people's hearts, and determine whether the other person is lying.
All I can say is that having such a born Legilimency master around makes things easier.
"Hurry up and get in the car." Luofu honked the horn and said, "I am the therapist you are looking for."
Dana was shocked and looked at the boy who was younger than her in astonishment, but in the end she walked towards the jeep with tears on her face.
The girl was sitting in the back seat and suddenly noticed that the temperature inside the car was very low, as if the hot weather outside was cut off into two worlds.
But the low temperature also stung her red skin.
Dana walked along the road for a day, and the scorching sun and hot earth baked her skin into this condition.
Margaery took out the ointment and handed it to the girl. She smiled kindly and said, "Your skin is sunburned. Just apply this and it will be cured."
Dana took the ointment gratefully, and then she noticed Margaery's amazing beauty.
Under Dana's guidance, Luofu drove the car off the planned route and drove forward along the winding valley.
Arizona is considered "the most Mars-like place on Earth" and not without reason.
The cliffs on both sides are covered with red rocks, and there are towering red rock pillars standing under the pink sky. The hot wind blows on the ground, rolling up grains of red coarse sand, and making a banging sound on the jeep.
They finally passed through the deep valley, and some low buildings came into view, which was a small Indian tribe composed of ocher-red houses.
Luofu parked the car in the middle of the village, got out of the car, looked up, and saw a... ladder pyramid!
The entire pyramid has nine floors, with trapezoids on all four sides. Each has a step leading to the top of the tower. The highest floor is a square altar.
The stone walls of the pyramid are filled with exquisite reliefs in the shape of magical creatures. The reliefs are lifelike and decorated with gold and gems.
On the north side of the pyramid, there is also a statue of a giant feathered snake with a pair of wings, its thick body curled into the shape of a figure 8, and its teeth clenching its tail.
That is Quetzalcoatl, a magical creature that has long been considered extinct by magic academia... and the bird snake is the hybrid descendant of Quetzalcoatl and other magical creatures.
Not a single aboriginal was seen in the entire tribe. Under the leadership of Dana, they arrived at a huge wooden house.
It turns out that the aboriginal people all gathered here.
Luo Fe originally thought that only a few people were injured, but at this time there were at least thirty people lying in the room, and more than a dozen people were taking care of the patients.
The air was filled with the strong smell of herbs, and smoke poured out from the stove, like an erupting volcano. Unfortunately, those smells could not cover up the smell of death in the open space.
When Luofu walked toward the house, he had already caught a glimpse of three corpses. Their faces were ferocious, with dark spots on their faces.
There was also a man who had just died, and a woman who seemed to be his wife was lying on the body sobbing and sobbing.
The appearance of Luofu and Margery undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention, and the Indians stared at them intently.
Dana used the aboriginal language to communicate with her people, but they looked at Luo Fu and Margaery with distrust in their eyes.
This is normal, one of them is younger than the other, they are just two children... there is no sign of being reliable at all.
Luofu didn't care either. He walked over to the body that had just died and observed it carefully.
As a magical zoologist, Rove has traveled extensively with Newt over the years, seen many corpses, and even dissected many corpses in order to study pathology.
He knows the human body quite well.
The young man quickly frowned and whispered to Margaery:
"The blood of a corpse that just died will still flow. Later it will condense into a lump, like thick aspic, but look at this corpse..."
Margaery quickly understood what Rolf meant. The corpse seemed to have been dead for a long time, and the blood had solidified into black powder.
"And those corpses, Dana just said they have been dead for several days." Margaery thought about it and said doubtfully:
"They should have stunk in such a hot environment, but they didn't smell at all and they weren't rotten."
Luofu frowned, took out the goblin's dagger, and gently cut the man's arm open. A foul smell gushed out from the wound, so strong that it made people unable to breathe.
"It looks very much like the symptoms of eating snapdragons." Luo Fu said softly.
At this moment, Dana ran to a four or five-year-old boy, held his hand, and cried: "Aru, wake up?"
The boy had passed out and was about to die.
Dana knelt down to Luo Fu and Margaery. While sobbing, she said reluctantly: "Can you please save him? This is my brother."
Luofu walked towards the boy, and suddenly there was a "ding" in his brain.
