Chapter 23: Troublemaker

Isabel's return gave Lu Yao finally someone with whom he could communicate directly and give complex instructions.

[Drifting Letter] Currently, only 1 page of letter paper is available, and it will become invalid after it is used up. Lu Yao needs it to produce +1 faith per hour, so it can basically only be used as a mascot.

In the past, when Lu Yao wanted to issue instructions, he needed to be interpreted by the prophet and then further conveyed to the tribe. However, after this series of information was speculated and relayed by the prophet, in the eyes of the tribe's villains, Lu Yao, the god, became more obscure and unpredictable.

The whole process is like picking your nose with woolen gloves.

My hands and nose felt wrong.

Through Isabel's mouth, Lu Yao, who was in a fixed bird's-eye view, could know what was happening in this pixel game world.

"According to the description of the Bedou tribe, bandits in the desert have only started to appear in recent years. And before the monsters attacked the oasis, an incident occurred."

Her statement floated over Isabel's head.

"The Salt Pond Tribe once found the Bedou Tribe and wanted them to transport goods for the Salt Pond Tribe in the desert and establish a base for the Salt Pond Tribe in the oasis."

“This was opposed and rejected by the Bedou tribe.”

"Not long after that, the desert monsters that had been far away from the oasis suddenly rioted and attacked the oasis in large numbers. The Bedou tribe was unable to resist, so they had no choice but to abandon the oasis and flee temporarily."

"While they were escaping, desert bandits took advantage of the situation and killed many members of the Bedou tribe and stole their camels and sheep."

"The Salt Pond Tribe is very dangerous," Isabel commented.

Lu Yao thought to himself, what is coming will eventually come.

If the Garlic Tribe had refused to trade with them, they might have been in a state of panic and encountered all kinds of unexpected troubles.

The Salt Pond Tribe's tentacles are all around, and the Garlic Tribe must be prepared to deal with them.

Lu Yao took a look at the 11 captives from the Yanchi tribe and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

He typed quickly on the keyboard.

——Send these 11 captives to the Donghe tribe as an aid to them.

"Yes, sir."

——Also, ask the Donghe tribe and the Yanchi tribe about their cooperation.

After receiving the order, Isabel met with her grandmother.

"It's actually the Apostle!"

[Grandmother] looked extremely surprised, with a question mark appearing above her head.

She thought in her mind: "Fortunately, the tribe has been praying and worshiping. Ordinary gods cannot have apostles. It seems that God Yao is a terrifying god of the same level as God Qi."

This also made Lu Yao alert.

That prayer god also has apostles, so you have to be extra careful if you meet them.

…

【The attitude of the Donghe tribe has become intimate.】

As expected, sending out this batch of captives won them gratitude and goodwill from the Donghe tribe.

So Lu Yao shifted his attention to the other side.

The joining of the remnants of the Bedu tribe brought a series of major changes to the Garlic tribe.

[The Garlic Tribe learned how to raise and use camels.]

[The Garlic Tribe has learned how to raise and use sheep.]

【The Garlic Tribe has livestock.】

【The Garlic Tribe discovered wool.】

The two types of domesticated livestock each have their own uses.

After the Garlic Tribe began to raise camels, camels began to replace human labor in the past to carry heavy objects such as wood, stones and fish, greatly increasing transportation and collection efficiency.

The pixel people began to explore everywhere on camels. With this means of transportation, the tribe's mobility was greatly expanded. They could enter and exit the forests and mountains in a short time. The Garlic Tribe also set foot in the desert for the first time to look for available resources.

The emergence of sheep brought two important resources.

Meat and wool.

In the past, the Garlic Tribe relied on hunters to obtain meat. Hunting is not only seasonal, but also dangerous. Even with bows and arrows, hunters still often get injured.

After the domestication of sheep, there was a steady supply of meat.

Wool is an important material for keeping warm.

The Bedou tribesmen are good at domestication. They are not only good at raising camels and sheep, but also master the technology of spinning and weaving wool. As they integrated into the crowd, their technology became the knowledge of the garlic tribe and was spread and popularized.

The person Lu Yao focused on was Shahan, the leader of the remnant of the Bedu tribe. He was a gray-haired old man with the title of "Astrologer".

…

【Astrologer Lv4】Shahan

Attack 0 Defense 0 Knowledge 4 Mana 2 Luck 0 Morale 1 [Ability]

Astrology Lv3: Divining the changes in celestial phenomena and their good and bad luck through the stars.

…

Somewhat similar to Shahan is the Shaman Hunting Warehouse.

…

[Shaman Lv3] Hunting Warehouse

Attack 0 Defense 0 Knowledge 2 Mana 2 Luck 0 Morale 1 [Ability]

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Healing Lv2: Can treat various diseases and injuries. The healing ability is related to the ability level, knowledge and mana.

…

The abilities of astrologers and shamans are both highly operational and applicable.

After arriving at the Garlic Tribe, the astrologer sat next to the temple. He set up a sheepskin tent and worshipped the gods while observing the stars and doing divination.

Most of the time, he acts as the tribe's weather forecaster.

"There has been enough rain, so this spring is suitable for planting."

"Strong winds are brewing in the sky. Everyone pack up your things and take shelter as soon as possible."

"There will be wrath in the mountains. Do not enter them."

…

Lu Yao specifically verified it and found that Shahan predicted some large-scale disasters, such as heavy rains, earthquakes, and hurricanes, with a high degree of accuracy.

The Garlic Tribe merged with the Bedou Tribe, further expanding their borders and industries. With food becoming more abundant, the pixelated people often had smiling faces on their heads.

On the other hand, the situation of the Donghe tribe continued to deteriorate.

The sea monster was suffering from an incurable disease and was getting weaker and dying. Now there are only two sea monsters left alive.

Isabel returned to the temple and reported, "My Lord, I used the last prayer in the East River Tribe to awaken the sea monster spirits. After questioning and verification, it was determined that the cause of their illness was poisoning."

"Sea monsters usually forage for food in the water, eating fish, shrimp and shellfish, but in the past year, some very strange meat has suddenly appeared under the water."

"The meat is very fresh, and the sea monsters love it. Although they are huge, their brains are not very smart, just like babies."

"After eating this meat, the sea monsters began to show symptoms of varying degrees. Their scales rotted, they became weak all over, and they felt drowsy and wanted to sleep all the time. If the symptoms worsen further, the sea monsters will die."

The sea monster poisoning incident was aimed at the Donghe tribe.

This trouble-making style immediately reminded Lu Yao of a certain group.

He is typing on the keyboard.

——Yanchi Tribe.

"My Lord has indeed seen through everything."

Isabel continued to talk about her findings.

"I used last prayers to ask the spirits in the East River. The spirits said that a group of mysterious people came to the river by boat after nightfall, and deliberately came to a place not far from the Donghe Tribe's boat island, and threw the meat into the water. It was confirmed that it was done by the Salt Pond Tribe."

"According to the Donghe tribe, there is a conflict between them and the Yanchi tribe. The Yanchi tribe has always wanted to exchange slaves and salt for the sea monster, but was rejected by the Donghe tribe."

"The Yanchi tribe was very dissatisfied with this and felt that this was a betrayal and lack of trust. The relationship between the two sides became increasingly cold and the transaction volume continued to decrease."

Lu Yao understood.

It turns out that the skill of Last Prayer is not only used to summon the undead to fight, but it is also a magical skill for collecting intelligence.

He thought for a moment and made a decision.

——Tell the Donghe tribe the truth.

——Tell them that the Garlic Tribe is willing to provide a piece of land by the river for them to live and settle on land, so that they don't have to worry about the wind and waves and weather on the water. It is closer to the Garlic Tribe, trade is convenient, and both sides can take care of each other.

"Yes, sir."

Isabel obeyed.
