The Origin of Arcane

There is a very famous valley in the Andes Mountains, named Bird Tomb, which is only two to three kilometers wide and twenty to thirty kilometers long. There are no less than three spider webs hanging on each tree. Looking from the ridge, the whole The valley is not green, but white.

Because this is a famous bird path, many small flying birds have no way to climb over the mountain, so they have to pass by in groups, which naturally becomes a paradise for hunters.

Sean didn't have the idea of ​​building the Bird's Tomb. Instead, like Honey, he directly purchased the finished products from the Andes mountain people. When he tasted the sweetness, naturally some wise people would turn their attention to the Bird's Tomb.

It's only unexpected, nothing is impossible. The results achieved during this period have already made Ralph's confidence reach full value, and he is full of energy. Before he hits a wall, he will not restrain himself because of a sentence or two.

Ralph is by no means the only one who has this kind of emotion. The entire Jacob's Ancient River Channel is filled with this obviously excited emotion.

The only good thing is that the motivation generated by this emotion is tilted towards labor production rather than war.

In just one year, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the upper half of the blocked ancient Jacob River. Large tracts of forests have been cut down, and then restored to arable land with a wildfire. Don’t look at the people of Andes who live half-fishing and half-hunting life, but the fanatical pursuit of the land is even higher than that of the Byrons who were born in farming, because the half-fishing and half-hunting lifestyle cannot feed their stomachs, and farming makes it easier for them to survive.

But in the past few decades, the most suitable land in the Andes Mountains is the most dangerous place, and they can only dig a few bites from it intermittently. This keeps their fanatical pursuit of land in their hearts.

Now that they have the opportunity, this kind of fanaticism will naturally be released. The land they have reclaimed has far exceeded the land they can cultivate, but they still ignore it. Even in the face of coercive measures, many people are still sneaky. Cultivate more arable land.

Farming is also a science.

With his own practical actions, Sean taught those hot-headed Andis mountain people a lesson. Farming is not enough just to have a quantity, but also requires intensive cultivation, paying attention to timing and reasonable layout. Cheng——Sean is not a good player in farming, but those Yongye soldiers who were born as military slaves have rich experience, and some theoretical experience of Sean's previous life is still helpful.

The area of ​​farmland reclaimed by the Eternal Night Legion accounted for less than one-tenth of the entire cultivated land area, but the grain output was more than the total grain yield of the rest of the cultivated land. Mainly beans.

Those Andes mountain people are only fanatical in pursuit of the amount of cultivated land. They have almost zero experience in farming. Basically, they plant widely and harvest little. .

Not to mention weeding, irrigation, and the like. They don't even know the most basic principles of cultivating the land. It's a hell to have a good harvest.

After getting along with these foolish people for a long time, Xiao En has some experience.

If you have any good things, good experiences, you must not take the initiative to send them in front of them, otherwise they will think that you are harboring evil intentions.

If you don't accept it or tell it, they will find fault with you. If you hide it desperately, they will try their best to get the secret of farming out of your hands, even at a certain price.

As a result, Xiao En and the Eternal Night Army became the largest landowners in Jacob's Ancient River, and now half of the arable land has fallen into their hands, and the price they need to pay is to send soldiers proficient in farming to teach Andy Si mountain people cultivated.

Of course, there are also discordant voices. For example, those Andes mountain people who were abandoned outside the defense circle were greatly harmed by the two sides fighting here.

In the eyes of both sides, they do not belong to their own people, and they will not care about their casualties and interests at all. Many people had to flee back to the mountains, and some wanted to get closer to the Yongye Army, but they were rejected without hesitation. Outside the door, some people can take in, and some people can't, such as this kind of cunning black sheep, although there will be accidental injuries, but they can't care about it.

There are also conflicts within the defensive circle. Many of them have migrated from the entire village, and they all have their own ruling class. These classes have become domineering in their own villages. They are naturally hostile to the Yongye Army and are afraid of being seized power.

People from many villages joined together to form a so-called village alliance. There were dozens of leaders, as many as 30,000 to 40,000 people, and they even had their own armed forces. Nearly ten thousand mountain hunters occupied the Skull Crusher Nearly 100 kilometers upstream of the Shangshui village in McGee's lair, the most active leader is none other than Sean and his old friend Clayton the Scavenger.

The Yong Ye Army, who was busy organizing and straightening out the internal relations, had no time to deal with them. In fact, neither Sean nor Skull Crusher McGee took this village alliance seriously. The Skullbreaker Legion alone can overwhelm them.

But there is no need, they have already taken too big a step, and they are already facing many food crises. If they are defeated and come over, it will not only not be a help, but a drag, and now they are regarded as pigs raised in their own back garden, what? It's time to fatten up or need it, and then use it for surgery.

What's more, any emerging force, especially the Yongye Army with many new policies, will produce a large number of rebels and unsuitable people. These people will naturally run to the village alliance to face an obvious enemy , is better than facing the enemy lurking within oneself.

Do you have to go out? Ralph hesitated for a moment, and finally turned the topic to the most sensitive place.

Yeah. Sean nodded and said with a smile, When did you see me change my mind halfway?

Isn't it great where we are? It won't be long before we have a piece of land that is all ours and creates the life we ​​want.

We always need to develop. When our development reaches a certain level, we always need a new way out.

But this is a very distant thing, maybe ten years, maybe twenty years, maybe even thirty years, is it necessary to think so far away?

If a person has no long-term considerations, he must have near-term worries. It is not my style of life to take one step and one step at a time. It is my favorite thing to do.

But if you want to know the situation outside, those spies are enough, why do you have to do it yourself?

I can see more clearly. Things on paper always feel empty.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. This is what you taught us. Now, as the leader of an army, is it appropriate to enter the enemy's territory?

I already have the ability to protect myself to a certain extent. If I can't fight, can I still not run? What's more, who knows me, from the beginning to the end, the top ones are McGee, Marshall and you, except those who know me There are only a handful of people, and this time it is a secret operation, there will be a double here, and the people who know about this can be counted with a slap, unless there are traitors among these people, otherwise my whereabouts will be unknown will be exposed.

But...but what should we do?

What do you do now? After I leave, you just do what you want to do. Haven't you already done a good job? Our five-year plan has been formulated. If we follow the plan, there will be basically no big mistakes. Besides It’s not that I’m going far away, if something really happened, it’s only a week’s time to send a message quickly, not to mention that Shan Ying has been trained successfully, as long as I settle down, I will communicate with you on time.”

But...but...but... Ralph struggled for a long time, but couldn't find a new reason to stop him.

Okay, okay, when did you become such a mother-in-law? Sean waved his hands impatiently, I also have my own selfish intentions, and I want to go out and have a look while I can still get my background. Look, when we fully develop and take shape, I will be bound to death here, do you want me to die in the mountains all my life?

Okay! Ralph let out a long breath, Remember to send a message to Shanying once every three days after you settle down, this is Madam's order.

One mother-in-law, one mother-in-law, she disappeared for several months, and she never sent a letter back. Xiao En muttered dissatisfiedly. He just wanted to get out of the mountains and see the outside world, but there were many obstacles. It's like parting from life and death, and I'm gone forever.

Fortunately, Sean is not one of those rebellious young people who don't know what is good or bad. Their obstruction is entirely out of concern for themselves, and he patiently explained it to them over and over again.

As for safety, Sean is really not worried. Although he caused a storm in the Andes Mountains and the Bastille during this period, and a fire even changed the pattern of the Manyu army, but everyone Part of the credit and hatred is on the side of McGee the Skull Crusher. The leader of Man Yu's army knows that there is someone behind McGee, but there are many clues about who it is.

Some said it was an unborn wise man, and some said it was a mysterious witch. Anyway, there are so many, and there are also people who are related to Xiao En, a later generation who rose to fame, but they are considered to be the most unreliable one in all the legends. , after all, his age is too confusing.

It's not that Sean underestimates the espionage methods of this world, but that it's okay to be really behind.

Not to mention the absence of various advanced means of communication, even the portraits of wanted criminals are drawn by painters based on the descriptions of the victims. Even professionals with special training in criminal investigation can draw full of mistakes in the portraits of murderers, let alone Abstract portraits come out through the hands of those freelance painters.

On the eve of the heavy snow closing the mountain, Sean quietly left the mountain where he had lived for fifteen years, with only an old dog Barton by his side.
