"I am the Great Han King of the East Sea. I am the Civilization Emissary of the Three Kingdoms Civilization Region. I wonder if you are willing to submit to me?"
Yang Rui did not avoid speaking to the other party as they entered the meeting room under the guidance of the village's old Confucian scholar.
However, after the old man dressed like a Confucian scholar heard Yang Rui's words, he frowned as if he did not know.
Most of the NPCs in ordinary villages in the Three Kingdoms Civilization Region did not know about the Civilization Emissary, let alone an old man in a village in Yizhou. Moreover, it was not difficult for Yang Rui to see that the old man had not heard of the identity of the so-called Civilization Emissary.
"This is the token of the Yucong Tribe. I wonder if you and your tribe know of the Yucong Tribe?"
Yang Rui continued to ask tentatively. He did not have much hope. After all, even Yang Rui had not heard of such a tribe before coming into contact with it.
However, in the face of Yang Rui's question, the old man immediately revealed an expression of surprise. His lips and cheeks trembled slightly, and his eyes flickered. In the end, he looked up and down Yang Rui again.
From the old man's identity, Yang Rui quickly learned that perhaps the other party had some relationship with the Yucong Tribe.
"I wonder if you are involved with the Yucong Tribe?"
Before Yang Rui could ask, the old man in the village had already asked. His expression flickered as if he was quite sensitive to the Yucong Tribe.
Yang Rui was not sure whether the old man and the Yucong Tribe were friends or foes.
"To be honest, I am the Civilization Emissary. I intend to find the whereabouts of the Yucong Tribe and other tribes. It can be said that we are of the same tribe. Does the old man have any news of the Yucong Tribe?"
In the end, Yang Rui decided to tell the truth. It would be best if the old man and the village in front of him could fight for them. If they could not fight for them, then he would just wipe them out.
"Sigh … Fine. Since my lord is able to take out the Jade Cong Tribe's token, you should be a noble of my tribe. This one has doubts in my heart because of some other matters. I shouldn't have doubted my lord.
Since you're being honest with me, this old man has nothing to hide. This old man and all the people in the village are surnamed Shi, and we're a branch of the Yucong tribe. It's our fortune to meet you today. If you don't mind, I'm willing to lead all the Liegeman in the tribe to serve you … "
The village elder bowed and said something. It turned out that he was a member of the Yucong Tribe, and the village in front of them was also a branch of the Yucong Tribe. The elder was willing to join the village, which was exactly what Yang Rui wanted.
"Senior, there's no need to be like this. I've just arrived here, and I have a favor to ask of you …"
After the two sides had spoken, it saved a lot of effort. Following that, Yang Rui and the village elder conversed again, and the relationship between the two sides was greatly improved. In the end, the elder also decided to use the entire clan to subdue Yang Rui.
It turned out that the elder's surname was Shi Ma, and he was a descendant of a branch of the Yucong Tribe surnamed Shi in the pre-Qin period. The tribe originally lived in Minyue and made a living by fishing. Shi Ma's ancestors were scattered in the storm to Yizhou.
The reason why the elder was not sure of Yang Rui's identity was because the Yucong Tribe and the Barbarian Tribe had a life-and-death feud, so he had some doubts.
Moreover, the Yucong Tribe had a sizable fleet back then. Although the elder and his fleet were forced to Yizhou by the storm, they believed that the tribe would send other ships to rescue them.
In the end, they did not see anyone from the tribe for generations, so the people on Yizhou Island guessed that the Yucong Tribe might have been wiped out by the Barbarian Tribe, and that the Barbarian Tribe might come to seek revenge. In addition to the previous conflict, the elder's vigilance was inevitably higher.
Through the elder's introduction, Yang Rui also learned a lot about the situation on Yizhou Island. There were indeed many villages like the elder's on the island, and most of them were friends and not enemies. Only some of the local savage tribes were uncivilized.
The savage tribes were mostly on the eastern side of the island, while the Yucong Tribe and some branches of other tribes were mostly in the central and western areas. Most of them lived on high mountains and hunted for a living.
This made Yang Rui think of the Gaoshan tribe in the real world. He did not know if their origin had anything to do with this. But based on the situation of the Yucong Tribe and other tribes entering Yizhou Island since the pre-Qin period, it was possible.
According to the elder's introduction, there were only three or four villages that occasionally interacted with his village through marriage, and they were all far away. One of the villages was also the descendant of the Yucong Tribe, and there were more marriages. The other villages only allowed marriages under special circumstances.
With the elder and his village subdued, the progress of obtaining the origin of Yizhou's civilization reached more than 10%, and the next step was much easier. After discussing with the elder, Yang Rui directly took the elder's soul on the Void Crossing Airship to several villages with which they had interacted.
Among them, the Yucong Tribe quickly chose to submit to Yang Rui. Although the other villages did not submit, they did not treat Yang Rui with hostility. Most importantly, the progress of obtaining the origin of Yizhou's civilization was constantly increasing.
With the soul speed of the Void Crossing Airship, Yang Rui used the villages as a link to quickly move around the island. In less than five game days, he had visited all the villages in the western and central regions of Yizhou Island that the old man had mentioned. The total number of villages he had visited was actually only 101, just breaking through a hundred.
There were over a hundred villages on Yizhou Island, and the NPCs that belonged to them all came from the other side of the ocean. The villages varied in size, and the largest had yet to be upgraded to the Town level. They had no more than 1,000 people, and the smallest only had a little over 100 people.
By the time Yang Rui visited the last village, the progress of obtaining the origin of Yizhou's civilization had reached 100%. He had successfully met the requirements to be recognized by the small tribes of Yizhou Island.
System Notice: Congratulations to player Blazing Sun for obtaining 100% information on the origin of Yizhou's civilization within the specified time. Under the prerequisite of being a Civilization Envoy, you have received the recognition of 101 villages from the various small tribes of Yizhou. All the NPCs in these villages have submitted to you, and all the ownership of the territory belongs to you …
A system notice was sent over in a timely manner. The 101 villages and their NPC Liegeman on Yizhou Island had submitted to him. Yang Rui had not expected the process to be so simple.
Of course, this was also due to Yang Rui's identity as a Civilization Envoy and the speed of the Void Crossing Airship. Without either of these factors, the current situation would not have been possible.
Although the 101 villages and NPCs had submitted to him, it did not mean that Yizhou Island had become Yang Rui's property. There were still savage tribes in the eastern part of the island.
Moreover, after Yang Rui's initial contact, the savage tribes in the eastern part of the island were not small in number. In terms of numbers, they were much larger than the NPC villages in the western part of the island.
