The tribal traditions of the Hellfire people were innumerable. Many of the traditions would make people feel strange when they suddenly heard it, but after carefully thinking about it and comprehending the profound meaning contained in it, one would realize that these traditions, especially the inheritance of the weak tribes, could play a very good role in guiding the inheritance of the tribes.
The Tudenan aborigine's words made Zhang Lisheng secretly admire the wisdom of the aborigine ancestors for the umpteenth time. At this time, he suddenly saw a short figure pouncing to his feet and burying his head on the ground. Crouching, he said, "Great Raider, your devout believer, Vakuku, is here to see you."
"Vakuku, you look like you've matured a lot." Zhang Lisheng snapped back to reality and looked at the believer at his feet. With a smile, he said, "Not only that, but you've also become selfless. To think that you've actually offered the breeding method of the giant millispiders that has been passed down from generation to generation to the tribe.
I've decided to put three feathers on your head and make you the chief of the tribe's beast tamers. "
"Great Raider, compared to the precious knowledge that you've bestowed to Tudenan, my dedication is not worth mentioning at all.
The miraculous pulleys and levers that can amplify a person's strength by countless times, and the workshop that can create ironware by relying on the flow of water, those are the real secret techniques. Compared to them, the little Warrior's' companion 'training technique is nothing … "
"A devil-like workshop that can make ironware by relying on the rotation of water? Tugra, what's that?" Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment before interrupting Vakuku, who had already become a young man, and asked the Tudenan headman.
"Raider, it's a strange thing that Aruba, the son of the tribal craftsman chief, Tumulu, created in the underground river according to the knowledge that you've bestowed. It can absorb the power of the slow flow of the river and drive a heavy hammer to smash the hard iron into the iron mold to make the desired ironware."
Zhang Lisheng frowned and thought about it. Without warning, he blurted out in surprise, "Hydraulic machine tool? You mean Aruba has relied on a few engineering drawings to make a hydraulic machine tool?"
"Great Raider, so that strange thing is called a hydraulic machine tool? What a wonderful name!" Vakuku praised in a whisper.
Although Zhang Lisheng could not understand what was so wonderful about the name 'hydraulic machine tool', he knew that perhaps there might be a great genius similar to Einstein in the native tribe he ruled.
After pondering for a while, he said, "It seems like Aruba's ability is above his father's. Tugra, let's ask Tumulu to hand over the position of the chief of the tribal craftsmen to his son.
As for you, Vakuku, I said earlier that I would give you three feathers and make you the leader of the tribe's Beast Tamers. However, it seems that you are more interested in being a craftsman, so you can only wear two feathers. "
As Zhang Lisheng was speaking, an aborigine kneeled beside him while holding a wooden basin filled with bright feathers.
When Zhang Lisheng saw that the young aborigine kneeling by his feet did not have any intention to object, he took off the two feathers that were originally on Vakuku's head and threw them on the ground before putting two new feathers on him.
This also meant that unless the Raider himself or another guardian spiritual monster with a higher status than Zhang Lisheng appeared in the Tudenan tribe, Vakuku would always be one of the leaders of the tribe. Even if he had committed a serious crime, he would not be stripped of his title.
"Thank you for your gift, Great Raider! You're the living faith in my heart …" Even though the feathers on his head that were originally blessed had been reduced from three to two, Vakuku, who had become the chief of the craftsmen as he wished, became even more grateful as he kneeled by Zhang Lisheng's feet and said.
"You deserve what I have bestowed upon you, vakuku.
Perhaps in the long run, the strange thing made by Aruba is far more important to the Tudenan tribe than the giant millispiders. However, right now, the giant millispiders are the key to the tribe's strength.
Alright, you may retreat now, Tugra. Take me to see the strange thing that all of you mentioned. "
"Yes, Raider!" Vakuku and Tudenan replied in unison. One of them stood up and retreated respectfully while the other hastily ordered the craftsmen to stop driving the Lohlos to pull the purple rope. After clearing the cave passage, he led the way in front of Zhang Lisheng and walked towards the underground Golden River.
After not seeing each other for two months, hundreds of fisheries had already been built beside the underground river that was illuminated by countless torches.
Thousands of three-bone boats with torches were swimming in the underground river that was so wide that one could not see the end of it at all, catching countless fish. However, Zhang Lisheng did not seem to care about all these changes at all. When he walked out of the underground cave, his eyes were fixed on the few huge machines that looked very simple on the shore.
The machine on the riverbank only had an iron frame.
A transmission arm that was fixed on the frame and could only move up and down like a huge stone pestle.
And an iron mold that was placed on the wet and slippery ground covered with moss with a large piece of black metal placed on it.
The working process of the machine was even simpler. It was nothing more than the stone pestle being slowly lifted from the iron frame along with the slow flow of the underground Golden River. Then, it suddenly fell down and smashed the black metal into the mold.
However, when Zhang Lisheng saw these few simple machines moving around on the shore, his expression became very solemn.
"There should be a capstan with blades in the river. No, a capstan shouldn't be able to make full use of water power …" He muttered to himself. "Forget it, I'm not good at machinery. Besides, it's meaningless to figure out the working principle of this big guy.
What's more important is that this iron hammer that looks like a stone hammer is likely to bring the Hellfire people into the era of the mechanical civilization, but is it really right to lead them to this fork in the road? "
Just as Zhang Lisheng was in a daze, Aruba, who was kneeling beside the shipyard on the riverbank with his father's arm pressed against his arm, saw that the Raider was concentrating on the 'wonder' he had created. A strong sense of unwillingness and an irrepressible impulse rose in his heart at once.
A struggling expression appeared on his ugly wrinkled face. After hesitating for a while, he suddenly crawled up to Zhang Lisheng. "Great Raider, your devout believer, Aruba, has something to report to you."
When Tumulu, who was not far away, saw his son crawling to the feet of the tribal Raider, he was first dumbfounded before a horrified expression crept upon his face. Losing his composure, he exclaimed, "Aruba, are you crazy? How dare you use such a crazy idea …"
"Tumulu, let your son speak." Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment before waving his hand at Tumulu with interest.
"Raider, I can see that you're paying attention to the few 'wonders' that I created.
Everyone in the tribe thinks that I made them just to show how great the wisdom that you've bestowed on Tudenan is, but in fact, my purpose is not only this.
This' wonder 'is a magical tool that can replace most of the craftsmen's work.
Even though it's very troublesome to cast the mold with clay and then use the molten iron to form it, and it would take an endless amount of effort, not to mention that there are still many ironware molds that can't be made yet, every time it creates a mold, it would be able to replicate the desired ironware's characteristics effortlessly, making all of the hard work in the beginning worthwhile.
I-I feel that the reason why the molds can't be made is because there are too few craftsmen who study it. For this reason, I hope that you can give an order that all ironware in Tudenan must be made of this strange item and the only job of the craftsmen is to cast the molds.
In this case, in this case, I guarantee that the ironware in the tribe will be inexhaustible in just three seasons. Not only that, but the warriors will also be able to wear iron armor to fight.
By that time, by that time, it will no longer be a dream for Tudenan to conquer this big island under your protection! "
"What's the last thing you said, Aruba?" Zhang Lisheng's heart jolted.
"I'll say it! I'll say it! If we do as I say, the Tudenan warriors will wear iron armor to fight and conquer the entire island under your protection!" Aruba buried his head on the ground and said, betting on all of his frustrations.
"Conquer the entire island? That's right! I haven't even conquered this island yet and I've already started to worry about it. It's just ridiculous!" Zhang Lisheng chuckled and a look of realization dawned on him. "Right now, any idea that can make Tudenan stronger is a good idea.
A calm person might think that what you said is simply crazy, such as your father, but I know that you've actually underestimated the role of this hydraulic hammer.
However, no matter what, it's a little too absolute to stop the craftsmen from forging ironware all of a sudden. As a real leader, you must know how to be flexible sometimes.
That's right, Tugra, now is coincidentally a good time. Let's announce my order to the public. "
"Yes!" Tugra stood up from behind the Raider. "According to the order of the Great Raider of Tudenan, Tumulu's position as the chief of the tribal craftsmen will immediately belong to his son, Aruba."
The instant the Tudenan headman's words left his mouth, Zhang Lisheng looked at Aruba, who seemed to be in a daze, and said in a low voice, "Did you hear Tugra's words, Aruba? From now on, you're the chief of the tribal craftsmen.
Just order the craftsmen to do what you want them to do, but don't be so rigid, do you understand? "
"I-I understand what you mean, Great Raider! B-But I …" Aruba could not help but look at his father who had loved him since he was young. To his surprise, not only did his father, who had lost his position as the chief of the tribal craftsmen, not only did he not look depressed, but he was also filled with surprise instead.
In fact, this was very easy to understand. In the Hellfire tribe, the title of the chief warrior could not be inherited. However, generally, the aborigines who came from a powerful chief warrior family would be able to easily become the new chief warrior due to their bravery and fighting skills as long as they were healthy, had sound limbs, and had a clear mind.
As for the chief craftsmen and the chief beast tamers in the big tribes, they could pass on the title of chief to their descendants due to their ancestral skills, but their position could not be passed on.
Even though Tumulu, who only had a few days left to live, had lost his position as the chief of the tribal craftsmen, his son, who originally only had one feather, had inherited this position. To an old father, this was, of course, a good thing.
