Aztec Civilization: Destiny to Conquer America!-Chapter 1473 - 1025: Ancestor Benevolent Deer, Divine Mountain, Tenggeri!

"Chief Divine bless! Captain Zuwaro, are you sure you want to visit the Northern Land’s Mountain Part to meet with that tribe’s elder grandmother?..."

"Of course! Witness the Chief Divine! Stonefirm, we’ve been engaging with those two hunters, inviting them to dinners and giving them gifts... isn’t this all to see their leader and priest, learn about the area, and possibly explore the opportunity for local tribes to ally?"

"Indeed! But Captain... these hunters say their sled can’t carry too many people, only four or five... that’s clearly an excuse! There’s a risk with this... Chief Divine! These tribes across the sea give me a really dangerous feeling. Their eyes are indifferent, not at all honest and warm, unlike the Jiao people of the Western Sea Coast and the Far North land!..."

"No worries! The Chief Divine blesses me! To spread the glory of the Chief Divine, for the deity’s divine revelation, why not take some risks! Didn’t they leave a trustworthy, hmm, charming important woman as collateral? ...Stonefirm, after I leave, keep that hostage, patiently wait for me to return! If by any chance I don’t come back... think of me as dead, and lead the entire exploration team, ready to fight for the Chief Divine!"

"Hmm, understood! Captain... may the Chief Divine bless you!..."

"Haha! Chief Divine will surely bless!..."

Snowflakes softly descended onto the white earth, whitening the greenery and browns alike. Amidst the blowing snowstorm, two teams of warriors from the Eastern and Western Tribes stared silently at each other outside their simple camps along this frozen gulf. Packs of huskies sat in the snow, with curious wide-eyed expressions. They occasionally shook their silly heads to shake off snowflakes, then randomly dug in the snow with their paws, letting out a series of excited howls!

"Awoo! Awoo!..."

"Obey! Be quiet!..."

"Aw... ooo... gugh..."

A Kotyel’myen female hunter, clad in a fur robe and deer-hide hat, impatiently swung her whip, producing crisp "snap" sounds. Upon seeing her action, the huskies shuddered collectively, whimpered twice, and became disciplined once more. Hunting Team Leader Mukun glanced at the tall, fierce female hunter, pursing his lips with a hint of guilt on his face.

"Musuona, my daughter... the elder grandmother..."

However, female hunter Musuona didn’t look at her father Mukun, nor did she care about his words. She simply raised her head, straightened her chest, squinting down at Zuwaro, who was in conversation, the "Sea Tribe Chieftain."

"Is this the leader of the Sea Tribe? He seems not as formidable as the warriors beside him, can he really control the tribe?"

Seeing Zuwaro’s not so tall or strong figure, the female hunter’s eyes showed some doubt. But when she saw behind Zuwaro, a line of Kingdom’s Warriors donned in Copper Armor, many tall Northern land sailors, and the wall-like longship frozen by the bay, her eyes immediately became fervent.

"Ancestors! Sea Tribe warriors! Copper Armor, Copper Spears, and Large Ship..."

"Chief Divine bless! Welcome, granddaughter of the Mountain Part’s elder grandmother, who tames white wolf dogs!"

Exploration Captain Zuwaro made his decision, smiling, nodding towards female hunter Musuona. The female hunter furrowed her brows sharply, pursed her lips, and nodded slightly in return.

"Ancestor witnessed! Sea Tribe chieftain from afar... I hope you have enough courage to live up to the elder grandmother’s expectations, bringing back the Rokube chieftain’s head to become my future husband!"

"Hmm? What did you say...?"

Exploration Captain Zuwaro blinked, looking at the female hunter’s complicated expression but couldn’t understand her words. He looked at Wuhai, the Mountain Part’s translator, who merely smiled friendly, but didn’t translate anything.

"Chief Divine! Truly a strange... hostage..."

Exploration Captain Zuwaro scratched his head, suppressing some doubts in his heart. He had already learned from Wuhai’s words that the Mountain Part’s chieftain is a wise elder grandmother. As for Hunting Team Leader Mukun, he is the leading and most skillful warrior of the tribe’s hunters and also the elder grandmother’s son-in-law. As for the dog trainer hunter Musuona, she is the esteemed granddaughter or "granddaughter" of the elder grandmother.

Yes, in the tribes of Kamchatka in Extreme North Asia, whether it is the northernmost Chukchi Tent Division, the slightly northern Koryak Deer Division, or the southern Kotyel’myen Mountain Part, they are all ancient matriarchal clans like the Unangas of the Aleutian Islands.

In these matriarchal clans, family bloodlines and social status are matrilineally inherited, namely decided by the mother. The highest status in the tribe is held by the elder grandmother who has many offspring, is elderly and revered, and has Shamanic heritage.

"Chief Divine witnesses! Going to the other tribe’s camp, bringing more people is not useful... I only need to bring the hunter Big Bear and one Kingdom’s Warrior in armor! ...No time to lose! Let’s go now!"

The bitter cold wind blew against Exploration Captain Zuwaro’s body, yet he didn’t feel the cold at all. At this moment, the adventurous blood surged within him, like many successful experiences of the past, in his samurai-like body. With a face full of grandeur, accompanied only by two attendants, he confidently sat on the Mountain Part’s sled, sitting behind Mukun.

"Awoo! Awoo! Aoaoo!"

Soon, the continuous howling of dogs resounded again. The Mountain Part’s tribal hunters silently boarded the sleds, turning direction and, driven by obedient husky dogs, disappeared swiftly into the northern snowstorm. On the snowfield covered by white snow, only the lone figure of the female hunter Musuona remained, along with dozens of Kingdom’s Warriors in armor, tribal sailors!

"Ah! Spirits of ancestors, gracious Divine Deer, warm Divine Mountain, and the highest Heaven..."

At this moment, when facing the Sea Tribe’s warriors alone, a hard-to-conceal anxiety arose in young female hunter Musuona’s heart. She understood the elder grandmother’s intention, also, what the upcoming negotiation truly meant!

If the negotiations succeed, she would leap to become the bridge of trust between the two tribes, standing out among many granddaughters of the elder grandmother, even possibly inheriting Shamanic traditions!

But if the negotiations fail, the elder grandmother as cold as the snowfield, will never let the Sea Tribe’s leader return alive! As for her as a hostage, without a doubt, she will be ruthlessly abandoned by the elder grandmother, becoming a sacrifice to the Divine Deer and Divine Mountain...

"Spirits of all things, may you bless me!"

The wind and snow filling her face, female hunter Musuona lowered her eyes, softly praying to those spirits believed by the Mountain Part. She praised the heroic spirits of past ancestors and shamans, praised the ancient nurturing Divine Deer of all tribes, and also, praised the Divine Mountain, which obstructs the wind and snow, providing warmth to the tribe. And when she sang praises for the supreme Heaven, she unexpectedly used a word not ancient, a foreign term, gradually spread to Kamchatka Peninsula from the Western Evon Horse Division.

"Hmm? She is praying... to the local tribe’s deities?"

Warrior Captain Chakapu Stonefirm pricked his ears, attentively listening to female hunter Musuona’s hymn. He then keenly captured a word that repeatedly appeared at the end, seemingly a highly revered deity. And the name of this deity is dubbed "The Highest Great Sky God"... "Tenggeri"!
