Chapter 826 (1/2)
Specter's action was very fast. It took him less than half a day to get into a business trip. No one knew how he got in. When specter came back again, he had returned with a fishing boat and received Sean and others on board.
There was still some faint smell of blood on the ship. It was obvious that specter could not compare with an old hand like rupee in terms of treatment methods, so he still left some traces. However, no one asked how specter got the fishing boat, because it was not important. However, the careful specter still prepared some clothes of the Blackwater tribe for Sean and others to wear. In this way, as long as he was not too close to other people of the Blackwater tribe, there would be no trouble that everyone didn't want to encounter.
Along the way, everyone moved forward quite carefully.
As specter said, he lurked in the Blackwater these days and didn't get nothing. He seems to have summed up the rules of those people in the Blackwater tribe when they were fishing. Therefore, the journey along the way did not bring any trouble and danger to the people. They easily passed the first 700 meters, but according to HARTING and Specter, it is the real danger from here.
About 800 meters away from the shore where Sean and others set out, Sean can finally see the lake island vaguely.
The reason why it is vague is that there is a hazy mist around the island in the middle of the lake. The obscuration area of this layer of mist is not small, and it is hundreds of meters long just in front of you. Sean estimated that if the area of the lake island and the fog is equal, the shape of the lake island should be a long and narrow terrain in a north-south direction. Although the specific area cannot be determined for the time being, it is estimated that the East-West horizontal length of the lake island will not be too long. After all, the total East-West horizontal length of heishuize is less than 3000 meters.
Sean took another look at the North-South vertical direction of the black water, and found that he couldn't see the edge at all. He speculated that it might be longer than the East-West horizontal direction.
In other words, the area of heishuize lake should not be less than 8 million square meters. This estimate is only a simple assessment. In fact, it needs to be reassessed according to the rise and fall of the lake, but this has nothing to do with Sean and others. They are not engaged in geological research. Of course, Heishui tribe will not pay attention to these. They only know that heishuize has very rich fishing products that can support the daily expenses of their whole tribe.
Besides, even if there is a shortage of food, the Heishui tribe has another plan to deal with it.
sustain the war by means of war.
The people of Heishui tribe have already done this routine very skillfully.
How should we deal with those things that have no use because of robbery?
This is the main material for secret trade between Heishui tribe and some caravans who dare to go deep here, including some slaves. However, these slaves are not tribes in the wilderness - Blackwater tribe may flatten and annex those weak tribes for some reasons, but it will never trade the survivors of this tribe as slaves, which is a taboo in the wilderness. Of course, if you can succeed all the time and won't be found, even if you leak the news once, the Blackwater tribe will face the siege of all tribes in the whole wilderness.
With the unlimited future of Blackwater tribe, they certainly won't do such a thing.
Therefore, the slaves used by the Blackwater tribe for trade came from the nobles captured after fighting with them. These people can often sell at a good price, or even the hard currency of the whole wilderness - just as other kingdoms don't treat people in the wilderness as people, these tribes in the wilderness don't treat people as adults.
This hatred, which has risen to racial contradiction, can not be solved by just a few words.
For example, the caravan that specter just joined came for this slave trade - of course, for tribes in the wilderness, this is the slave trade, but from the perspective of the human country, it is the redemption of prisoners of war. However, the premise is that your prisoner should at least prove that he is valuable to live. Therefore, most of the enemies captured by the tribes in the wild are people with strong family background or very rich family background.
”There is a ship approaching ahead.” Specter's words suddenly interrupted Sean's meditation.
Looking down specter's eyes, Sean saw a ship different from a fishing boat approaching.
The fishing boat of Heishui tribe is basically a small boat similar to a sampan, which can accommodate four to five people. However, they usually only take two or three people, because they need to leave enough space for the fish they catch from the lake. It's actually very suspicious for Sean and others to sit in a fishing boat with five people, but Cecilia and Hitler are petite. HARTING and Sean can use the visual angle to cover it, so they don't attract too much attention.
