Chapter 590: If You Call - Genocide (Part 2)

After seeing Vivian's extremely courageous and decisive order to attack the envoys of the Helai tribe at night, and seeing Vivian successfully using this to overwhelm, intimidate, and finally persuade the leader of the Chico tribe to surrender, Samuel I put away the last bit of contempt for Vivian in my heart.

When he received the task of "protecting Vivian" from Su Cheng and learned that Vivian, a little girl who was not yet underage, was going to persuade the mountain barbarians who had not surrendered, Samuel was actually very unhappy. of.

Because Samuel felt that Su Cheng was completely fooling around, how could he let a little girl who was only 14 years old and underage go on a lobbying mission?

Therefore, Samuel had some contempt for Vivian at the beginning.

But after seeing Vivian so brave and decisive, Samuel put away all his contempt for Vivian.

He really began to regard Vivian as the backbone of this envoy group and the top leader of this envoy group.

After hearing Samuel's question, Vivian smiled at him:

"Is this a way to lobby the Maho Ministry? I have actually thought of it for a long time. I had already thought of it before I came to the Lygasus Mountains."

Speaking of this, Vivian changed the subject:

"Samuel, do you know the tribal structure of the mountain barbarians?"

"I don't know." Samuel shook his head. "I don't have much research on the mountain barbarians. I only know that their civilization is very backward and they still live a tribal life."

"Each tribe in the mountain barbarians has a patriarch and a wizard." Vivian talked to Samuel. "The patriarch is the ruler of the tribe. When the old patriarch dies, he will be elected. Method to select a new clan leader, the clan leader can only be selected from among the warriors. "

"The wizards of each tribe are not elected through elections."

"Compared to the clan leader, the work of wizards is much more complex and diverse."

"Responsible for organizing various sacrificial activities of their respective tribes, such as sowing and harvesting ceremonies, and also responsible for organizing the wedding of each new couple."

"At the same time, he is also responsible for tattooing totems on the faces of every male who has passed the trial and obtained the qualifications to become a warrior."

"Not only that, the wizards are also doctors in each tribe, responsible for healing the injured and sick people in the tribe."

Hearing this, Samuel sighed:

"Wow, it's really not easy to be a mountain barbarian wizard. You need to know how to heal, tattoo people, and how to organize sacrificial activities."

"Yes, so it is very difficult to become a wizard, so wizards are not elected by election like the patriarchs."

"During his tenure, each wizard will recruit a person from the clan who has potential and is interested in the wizard's work as an apprentice. He will take this apprentice with him and teach him step by step all the skills and skills that a wizard should have. Knowledge."

"After he dies,

This apprentice will inherit his mantle and become the new wizard. "

"Generally speaking, the wizards of each tribe actually do not hold real power."

"Well, I can see that." Samuel interjected at this time.

Samuel nodded and continued:

"From the work of the wizards, it can be seen that they must not have much real power in the clan. After all, the jobs they do are jobs that are unlikely to have much power in the clan leader."

"Well, that's the theory. But there are always surprises."

"Mahobu—it was an accident."

"The power structure of the Maho Ministry is a very rare dualistic structure."

"In other tribes, the patriarch's family dominates and holds all the power, and no one in the tribe can compete with it."

"But that's not the case with today's Maho tribe."

"In the Maho tribe today, both the clan leader and the witch doctor hold a lot of power, and they check and balance each other."

"Huh?" Samuel frowned, "Why is this happening? Logically speaking, the wizard's power should not be powerful enough to compete with the clan leader."

"Well, theoretically speaking, it is indeed true. The Mahe tribe used to be the same as other tribes. It was dominated by the patriarch's family."

"But something happened when the current patriarch came to power."

"The reason why the current patriarch of the Mahe tribe succeeded in taking the position was due to the great help of the wizard."

As soon as Vivian finished speaking, Samuel let out a soft "ah".

Although Vivian hasn't finished speaking yet, Samuel has already guessed what's behind it.

And Vivian continued at this time;

"It is naturally impossible for the wizards of the Mahe tribe to help the current clan leader rise to power without any reason."

"The wizard asked him to give him some power after he ascended the throne."

"In order to successfully ascend to the throne, the current patriarch of the Mahe tribe had no choice but to agree to the wizard's conditions."

"With the help of the wizard, the current patriarch of the Mahe tribe finally succeeded in taking office."

"After taking office, the current patriarch of the Mahe tribe also fulfilled his promise and released part of his power to the wizards."

"After receiving the great favor from the patriarch and getting some power from the patriarch - after possessing these two most important things, the wizard relied on his methods and wisdom to start to grow his power bit by bit. ”

"So, to this day, the power structure of the Maho tribe has formed today's dual system situation. The patriarch and the wizard check and balance each other."

"With the growing power of wizards, the patriarch of the Mahe tribe is naturally becoming more and more dissatisfied."

"The wizard of the Mahe tribe is also increasingly dissatisfied with the chieftain who is increasingly disobeying him and contradicting him more and more frequently."

"Therefore, the relationship between the two is now very bad, and there are more and more conflicts."

Conflicts began to frequently arise in many major and minor matters.

"After our Britannia Empire declared war on them, the two of them had a disagreement as usual."

"The chief of the Mahe tribe was determined to fight to the end."

"And the wizards of the Mahe tribe planned to surrender to us obediently."

"The reason why the Mahe tribe has not expressed their attitude so far is because there are wizards in the Mahe tribe who are determined to surrender."

"Neither of them can persuade the other, and neither of them can do anything to the other, so they are deadlocked."

"I guess, while we are chatting now, the chief of the Mahe tribe and the wizards may still be arguing about whether to surrender or fight."

"I have to say, after learning that there is a conflict between the chief of the Mahe tribe and the wizards, I almost laughed out of joy."

Speaking of this, Vivian showed a faint, confident smile on her face.

"The breakthrough point of this lobbying of the Mahe tribe lies in the wizard."

"At the same time, the means of lobbying the Mahe tribe this time may also be a little bloody."

"... Bloody?" Samuel hesitated.

"That's right." Vivian had an intriguing smile on her face, "Mr. Samuel, I may have to trouble you again when lobbying the Mahe tribe later. Are you confident in your assassination skills?"
