Chapter 1477: Chapter 1029: Divine Revelation of the Great Lake Tribe, the Legendary Grand Shaman?

"As witnessed by the Chief Divine! Honorable Ancestor Mother of the Mountain Part, we have come by longship, journeying across endless coasts and waves, never coveting the territories and treasures of various tribes. We meet you as reunited brothers lost for a thousand years, bearing no malice, only heartfelt brotherhood!..."

In the Shaman’s large tent, a bonfire burns with small flames. A faint smoke of pine branches rises from the fire, drifting skyward along the smoke flue. The sky is a red curtain of sunset, enveloping the towering Divine Mountain not far away, as well as the hot springs and tents in the valley. This is the ancient homeland of the Kotyel’myen Mountain Part, their most fundamental Winter Camp.

In this realm of Kotyel’myen’s vast sky, Divine Mountain, territory, and tents, the Exploration Captain Zuwaro shows genuine sincerity, looking at the revered Ancestor Mother Mulu Mountain Mother and candidly explaining his purpose.

"The Supreme Sun Supreme God protects us! The Divine Revelation of the Sage Your Majesty guides us! We have sailed for two years, using twenty longships to relay a voyage of over twenty thousand miles to come here... The intent is to heed the enlightenment of the Sage Your Majesty, to trade needed goods with distant Western brothers mentioned in prophecy!... What we most need are four-legged Riding Beasts, four-legged Plowing Beasts, planting seeds, and various Craftsmen and Medical Priests..."

"Hmm? As witnessed by the Ancestors! You have come under the prophecy of the Great Shaman? You have warriors manning twenty longships, sailed for a full two years?!"

Hearing this, the Ancestor Mother Mulu Mountain Mother’s eyes sharpened, her face revealing slight suspicion. She disregarded the goods the other party wanted to trade yet keenly captured the details within their words.

No matter how accurate that Great Shaman’s prophecy is, or the impressive scale of the fleet, they completely exceeded her initial expectations, making it hard for her to believe at the moment!

If all of this is true, it means there must be a clan behind this Sea Tribe with a tribe Great Shaman possessing mana and attuned to spirits, along with an extremely large Great Tribe!... And if so, her previous plan to intermarry and annex the Sea Tribe would have to be completely reconsidered...

"As witnessed by the Ancestors! In the presence of the Divine Mountain and vast sky, all lies will turn into deadly plague, forever buried in the cold snow!... Head of the Sea Tribe, do you dare to swear before the Divine Mountain and vast sky?..."

The Ancestor Mother squinted her eyes, staring at the expression of Exploration Captain Zuwaro. Yet, the other party nodded earnestly, with a face full of fervor and devotion!

"Indeed! I swear by the Divine Mountain, vast sky, and Chief Divine!... The Sage Your Majesty’s prophecy clearly mentions the Western Sea Chart and sea routes, depicting the circumstances along the way! These prophecies inspired by the Chief Divine have successively come true during the long voyage... Whether it’s the Far North Coast, Ancestor Island Chain, or this Ice and Snow Peninsula, all are in the Sacred prophecy!... The Chief Divine blesses us!!"

Zuwaro clutched the Sun Amulet around his neck, praying devoutly in front of the Ancestor Mother for a while. Then he looked at the Ancestor Mother with hopeful eyes, seeking more information.

"Honorable Ancestor Mother! I just learned from Hunting Team Leader Mukun about the important four-legged Riding Beast mentioned in the prophecy, Mulu, horse!... You are the Shaman Chieftain with the most experience and heritage among the Mountain Part, can you guide us to acquire this precious Riding Beast that can carry men swiftly?"

"Hmm... you want Mulu, horse?... Hmm... I can indeed help you with that, it’s not difficult..."

The Ancestor Mother Mulu Mountain Mother slightly bowed her head, holding the Deer Bone Staff, and added a handful of uniquely scented moss to the bonfire. Quickly, the relaxing scent filled the tent, causing everyone inside to involuntarily smile sincerely, feeling a sudden closeness. Then the Ancestor Mother, smiling, took out a treasured deerskin water bag, carefully opened it, first allowing Hunting Team Leader Mukun to take a sip, then handed it to Exploration Captain Zuwaro.

"Come, head of the Sea Tribe, the benevolent deer blesses you! This is the most precious Deer Fetus Luba, brewed from deer fetus powder and the heart-blood of reindeer in ice and snow, with divine healing powers for all ailments!"

"This is the true treasure of deer, the most precious gift from the benevolent deer! Many tribal nobles have requested it from me, yet I have never given it to them... Because, as witnessed by the Ancestors! Only the most prestigious guests are entitled to drink, receiving the ancient blessing of the benevolent deer! And you, head of the Sea Tribe, are indeed our esteemed guest in Hot Spring Mountain Part!"

The Ancestor Mother Mulu Mountain Mother smiled benevolently, watching Exploration Captain Zuwaro take the water bag. Zuwaro pursed his lips, looking at the blood-red liquid within the bag, smelling the delightful sweet and rich fragrance, he couldn’t help but swallow.

"This..."

"Head of the Sea Tribe, please drink!..."

"..."

Exploration Captain Zuwaro instinctively salivated, rationality causing him to sweat on his forehead.

He glanced at Hunting Team Leader Mukun beside him. The other had drunk a mouthful of deer fetus blood wine, his face instantly turning red, his eyes shining brightly. He then carefully looked at the benevolent Ancestor Mother, who was smiling while holding the Deer Bone Staff, and the sharp tip of the deer bone seemed to be pointing at him intentionally or unintentionally. In the corner of the tent, two silent Tribal Huntsmen held their Stone Knives on their waist, their bodies slightly leaning forward, like snow wolves ready to pounce!

"Chief Divine bless!... These icy tribes on the Far Western Sea coast are truly different from the simple tribes on the Far Eastern Sea coast. Drinking this bag of blood wine could be like drinking the knife-water of the Alliance Priests, leaving oneself at their mercy..."

Exploration Captain Zuwaro lowered his gaze, biting his lip, unable to speak a word. Remembering Warrior Captain Stonefirm’s advice, for the first time he felt a form of regret for venturing alone. But things had come to this, he had no choice, he could only stiffly raise the water bag, letting the sweet rich fragrance get closer, finally sliding into his mouth! 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Whew! Good! Really good wine!..."

The Exploration Captain Zuwaro gulped heavily, actually drinking a whole pouch of Blood Wine in one go! The elder grandmother sitting opposite twitched her eyelids, her chest tightening with heartache. This was the blood wine of deer fetus she had painstakingly mixed with various herbs! Just a few sips... yet he drank it all!...

"Good wine!... Whew! This feeling? This feeling!..."

The scent of the deer fetus blood wine was fragrant, its aroma lingering in the throat and soothing the senses. Within a few breaths, the Exploration Captain Zuwaro felt heat surging through his body, his face reddening as if he were newly born.

Blood surged passionately through his veins, his eyes shone brightly, but his pupils became inexplicably diffuse, as if covered in a layer of mist. Moments later, he gradually lowered his head, grinning, succumbing to a drunken sensation of joy and delight.

"Huh... uh... hmm? Ah! Beauties! So many graceful beauties!... Haha! My name is inscribed in the scriptures of Divine Revelation, the most illustrious Saint!..."

"Mulu Alashanwa! Mulu Alashanwa!... The ancient Ancestors watch over us in the fire! The ancient benevolent deer watch over us from the sky!... Mulu Alashanwa!..."

Watching the dazed Zuwaro ramble, the elder grandmother Mulu Mother smiled gently, singing a shamanic chant. The peculiar melody and tone, accompanied by the moss fragrance burning in the fire, inexplicably made one feel drowsy, as if wanting to fall asleep on the spot.

"Mulu Alashanwa! Chieftain of the Sea Tribe!... Come, please tell me, tell your most benevolent grandmother... what else does your Great Shaman of the Sea Tribe know? What other prophecies are there?..."

"Huh? Your Majesty’s prophecy?... His Majesty says that white-skinned Evil Demons are soon coming from the Eastern Sea! They possess the power of an Evil God, filled with malevolent greed... and to counter them, we need to obtain the ancient power of the Western Sea Tribe..."

"Uh? What is the power of the Western Sea Tribe? His Majesty says it is the riding beasts for battle, plowing beasts for farming, crops for all climates, the sailing ships that cross waves, the craftsmen’s crafted ironware, the Medicinal Priest treating the plague, and so much more... all lying across the sea in the Southern Tribes, those powerful Tribal Alliances!..."

"Hmm? What is south of the Western Sea? His Majesty says that south of the Peninsula, there are three interconnected Great Islands. On these Great Islands, there are powerful three islands and Tribal Alliances, under the nominal leader, there are numerous independent Clans!... These clans hold ironware, have fighting Warriors, and are greedy for gold!..."

"And across from the three Great Islands, there is a long stretch of coastline, where nomadic tribes that graze horses roam, as well as mountain forest tribes that hunt... The once-mighty Mongolian Tribal Alliance has split and declined, powerless to govern these coastal tribes... Yet the distant Southern Great Ming Han tribal coalition influences and controls the Northern Land, currently at its peak!"...

"Ah? How large is our tribe? ...Oh! The Kingdom of the Lake is the most powerful Fief under a Great Alliance... We occupy the western world of the Eastern Sea, with a population of two million tribespeople and hundreds of thousands of Warrior Militia!... Hmm? What is ten thousand? ...Ten thousand...is the number of ten Mountain Parts... and a Kingdom of the Lake is equivalent to two thousand Mountain Parts!"...

"...!"

Zuwaro explained in detail, sometimes in the incomprehensible Mexica Language, sometimes stammering in Unanga Language. The elder grandmother Mulu Mother patiently asked for a long time, repeatedly asking many times, only to barely understand a few descriptions. Yet, it was precisely these fragments of words that made her eyes suddenly widen, standing up abruptly.

At that moment, she tightly gripped the Deer Bone Staff in her hand, gazing toward the Eastern Sea with unprecedented seriousness!

"Ancestor! A Kingdom of the Lake with two thousand Mountain Parts?!... Heavenly Divine! Such accurate prophecy, knowing details of the faraway lands? Could it be a Shaman Chief with mana reaching through the heavens and earth, existing only in legends..."

The elder grandmother Mulu Mother pressed her lips together tightly, staring motionlessly eastward like an ancient wooden sculpture. Zuwaro’s words were too shocking, even with the specially concocted blood wine by the shaman, she couldn’t fully believe it!

But without a doubt, this suddenly appearing Sea Tribe is not the wandering, migrating, or small tribes defeated in struggle that she initially envisioned... Behind this Large Ship, there must be an exceptionally powerful Eastern Sea Great Tribe and a formidable Shaman Chieftain!...

"The ancient Ancestors watch over us!... No matter how strong a tribe may be, they cannot occupy our Mountain Part’s territory! Unless..."

The elder grandmother Mulu Mother silently gripped the staff, with murderous intent rising and falling in her heart for a long time before gently shaking her head. After which, she glanced at the already snoring Zuwaro, then at the limply sleeping Mukun, speaking resolutely to the hunters in the tent.

"Go now! Take them down, let them sleep well in the tent... Bring me that Sea Tribe warrior’s Copper Armor, Bronze Axe, Greatbow, and Feathered Arrow, let me take a good look!... Hmm, when the chieftain of the Sea Tribe wakes up, invite him back to see me... He is our most important guest, keep a constant watch on him... Understand?"

"Yes, Grandmother!"

"Go now, my children, let me be alone and think quietly, think it over carefully. The next arrangements indeed need to be adjusted... May the enlightened Ancestors bless us!"...
