Chapter 2066 River Valley Town

Slude's tone was as straightforward as ever, so that it seemed a bit harsh.

"Joan, look at the land under your feet. According to the agreement, this land should have belonged to the Asa people of our Volsunge tribe, but it was forcibly occupied by the colonists, and they continued to expand westward without being satisfied, and continued to eat away at it. The living space of our aborigines wishes to drive us to the snow-capped mountains and into the sea, and it would be hypocritical to praise the friendship between the colonists and the aborigines under such circumstances.”

Joan was speechless at what she said, and her cheeks felt hot.

"Ms. Slude, don't get me wrong. We are not employees of the Midgard colonial government, let alone represent all the colonists. You can't blame us for reporting to the aborigines just because you hate some overly radical colonists. Well-meaning moderates, this will not do anything to calm the conflict between the two sides."

Hailar tried to defend Joan, but was questioned more sharply by Slude.

"That is to say, you do not agree with your compatriots illegally occupying the land of our Asa people. If we are forced to use violent means to drive out the bandits who broke into the Vymur Valley, you will uphold justice and justice and stand on the side of Our side is against your compatriots, isn't it?"

"This..." Hailar was speechless.

She does sympathize with the Asa people, but she also sympathizes with the refugees from the old world to the New World. If she had to choose between the two, to be honest, she might still choose the side of the new immigrants in the end.

Although she also admits that the colonial expansion of the new immigrants in the Vymur Valley is neither legal nor reasonable, but they are compatriots of the same language and race after all, and the Asa people are friendly and rational, but they have different skin colors and are not my race. .

Hyrule is not a fanatical and extreme racist like Lieutenant Colonel Henry James, but she also has a simple standard for different races in her subconscious mind:

Humanoids have priority over other creatures; humans have priority over other humanoids such as elves, dwarves, orcs, etc.; colonists among humans are more civilized and advanced than natives, and are more worthy of contact.

Of course backward nations also have an equal right to exist, but the premise is that they humbly accept the leadership of advanced nations, actively integrate into civilized society, and use legal methods—of course based on the laws formulated by civilized people—to fight for their own interests, rather than stubbornly We should not go to extremes and use violence against civilized society, otherwise it is an act of terrorism.

Facing Slude's questioning, Hailaer realized that his logic seemed too far-fetched, so he gave up arguing embarrassingly.

But there is one thing she can be sure of, not to mention all, at least most of the colonists have more radical ideas than her, and they don't even regard the aborigines as human beings.

If Slude can't even accept "moderates" like her, and if the majority of Asa people are as stubborn as Slude and refuse to take any losses, there will be no room for compromise between the two sides, and the conflict will intensify. In the end, an all-out war between the colonists and the aborigines is bound to break out.

"Slude, please don't say a few words!" Haakon scolded his sister, "It's rare for old friends to reunite. Everyone is very happy. Don't spoil the scenery, okay?"

Slude sighed, and his eyes turned soft: "Joan, Miss Hailar, and the two Highnesses of Zion, I have a bad temper and a rough personality. What I just said was not intended to offend. I hope you don't go to Go with your heart."

"Through the woods in front of us, we will find our new home, Hegu Town. As for Captain Anderson, when you get to Hegu Town, you can take a look at the local situation and you will understand."

"How far is River Valley Town from Grizzly Bear Town?" Audrey asked.

"It's about 40 miles along the Chuanlin Creek, and it takes three hours to ride a horse." Slude replied.

Audrey nodded, and continued: "You brothers and sisters will lead the way, I will use Pegasus to carry Hyrule, and Joan and my brother can transform into flying."

Joan thought about it. It takes 40 miles to ride along the winding stream, so the straight-line distance between this place and Hegu Town should not exceed 30 miles. He took out the "navigation compass" to generate a map, and sure enough, he saw human settlements on the westernmost side of the map. characteristics of the area.

"Riding and flying are too troublesome, why don't I just cast a spell to take everyone there."

"Huh? Joan, I remember that you were still a level 8 mage when we met last time. It's only been a year and a half, and you've been promoted to a level 9 mage and learned the fifth-level 'teleportation'?" Slude Looking over in surprise.

"Level 9 mage? You underestimate our super genius, Joan was promoted to level 11 mage four months ago!" Holden looked proud.

"Uh...well, I shouldn't have speculated on your pervert's upgrade speed at all with the imagination of a mortal!" Slude smiled wryly and shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands.

Haakon, Hailaer, and the Zion siblings also felt the same way. If you say what you say, joining the camp that criticizes Joan's progress is tantamount to cheating, and it is almost impossible to give them such "dull" people a way out. Of course, in fact, everyone knows in their hearts that everyone present is not bad in talent, the question is who to compare with.

Usually, when encountering this kind of scene of being besieged and ridiculed by everyone, Joan does not have Holden's ability to ridicule himself and resolve embarrassment, so he always feels embarrassed, but today his mentality is a bit different. Instead, he feels that being teased and joked by his friends is a It was a relief, at least temporarily, from the more serious and distressing topic of racial conflict.

Perhaps it's like the phrase people often use to laugh at themselves: "It's shameful to avoid it, but it works."

Putting away the "navigation compass", Joan held the hands of Haakon and Slude respectively, and motioned for everyone to hold hands and form a circle, and collectively cast spells to teleport.

A beam of light rose into the sky, and after just a few seconds, Joan, with five companions and two horses, appeared on the bank of the Vermur River opposite the forest.

Along the river bank stretches endless farmland, where shirtless Asa men can be seen everywhere, leading horses with heavy plows, plowing the fields.

The women wearing turbans followed the men and the plow horses, poked a row of small holes neatly on the field ridges with wooden sticks, and then grabbed a lot of corn kernels from the pockets of their aprons, and sprinkled an average of three to five kernels in each hole. Corn seeds are finally buried with floating soil.

Farther away, there are several druids wearing green sacrificial robes, scattered in the vast field, all casting the third-level spell "plant growth", guiding the natural divine power, blessing the cultivated land under their feet, and praying for increased crop production and a bumper harvest.

"I thought that the Asa people lived by fishing and hunting, or herding cattle and horses, and living by water and grass. They also reclaimed wasteland and planted crops."

Audrey looked at the field scenery in front of her, feeling sincerely.
