Chapter 444 Back to Gorse
Thirteen months ago, nine months ago, five months ago
Sunaifa subconsciously went through the thoughts in his mind according to what Master Yang said.
Then, in the next moment, she discovered that these three time nodes were special.
Holy tree!
Thirteen months ago, it was the time when Gothe planted the sacred tree Yugatha.
Nine months ago, it was the time when Yugatha Sheila was promoted to the first level and gained the ability of "Astral Teleportation".
Five months ago, it was the time when Yugathira was promoted to the second level and awakened the "enlightenment" ability.
Perfect correspondence.
It may be a coincidence once or twice. If it matches three times, then there is no need to doubt anything.
More importantly, after it was confirmed that it was Yugatha Sheila, what Master Sheep said about "having the power to change the northern border" was completely justified.
She is very clear about Yugathira's ability, which is enough to be called the ability to change the world, and the so-called changing the northern territory is naturally not an issue.
She thought so and glanced at Yarna from a distance.
Sunaifa is a smart person.
She knew very well that the discovery that Yarna kept saying was just a lie that Yarna had thrown over the wall in order to stimulate conflicts between herself and Master Sheep.
Given her ten courages, Yarna would not dare to send anyone close to Phoenix again.
But luckily, Yarna got it right by accident.
What Master Yang is looking for is indeed in the Zhenbing tribe.
The question now is, can she take Master Sheep to meet Yugathira?
The answer is definitely no.
Although Master Yang's attitude from beginning to end was quite friendly, he didn't seem like an evil and unreasonable person.
But Yugathila is too important, and Sunaifa will never bet on the humanity of a stranger on such an important matter.
Various thoughts flashed through her mind, and she quickly sorted out the relationship between them, but there was nothing unusual about Sunaifa's face.
Being indifferent to emotions and anger should be one of the basic qualities for a war mother, not to mention that Sunaifa himself is a person with an indifferent temperament or an extremely calm person.
"What you are looking for is not among our people. What Yarna said are all lies." She said calmly.
"If you don't believe it, let her call out the people who found this thing in my clan to confront me."
Master Yang was slightly startled.
"As she said, our clan is powerful, how can her people dare to investigate my clan?"
"Yarna, you said that the thing I am looking for is found in the Zhenbing tribe, who discovered it?" Master Yang had already sensed something was wrong, turned his head slightly displeased, looked at Yarna and asked.
Yarna was stopped on the spot by this question.
This was entirely a temporary idea out of sheer desperation. Where could she find such a person immediately to match her words?
"This" Yarna hesitated.
Seeing her acting like this, how could Master Yang not know the truth of the matter?
Thanks to his good self-control and his connection with the Iceborn bloodline and the ancestors of Winter's Hammer, he was able to control the anger in his heart.
"Sorry, I was presumptuous." He apologized to Sunaifa first.
"You said that your clan has some connection with me. How do you explain this?" Sunaifa automatically ignored the topic and asked "tentatively".
Master Sheep pondered for a moment, seeming to hesitate, but finally revealed some secrets, "The master craftsman that my clan follows, and the guardian of your Iceborn clan, are the earliest existences born in the land of the North. The two of them have met and are considered friends."
"The guardian of my clan?" Sunaifa's eyes flashed slightly.
There are still guardians in the Iceborn clan? !
If so, who is it and where has it gone? Are you still alive?
If the guardian is still alive, why has the ice bloodline continued to decline over the years, but this guardian has never appeared?
Or is the decline of the Iceborn bloodline related to this guardian?
At this moment, various questions flashed through Sunaifa's mind.
The existence of the guardian is not recorded in the Zhenbing tribe’s classics.
Obviously, either the secrecy is not suitable for recording, or this period of history has been lost as time goes by.
"I can only say this much to you, as an apology for the previous offense." Master Sheep cupped his hands in front of Sunaifa, and his meaning was very clear. He said this to stop Sunaifa from asking any more questions.
After this incident, Sunaifa was no longer reluctant. She glanced at Yarna indifferently and chose to leave.
She did not say any harsh words, but that look already made Yarna shiver all over.
As soon as he left the scope of Winter's Hammer, Sunaifa immediately accelerated his flying speed.
This time she came to ask questions, but because of the sudden appearance of Master Yang, the inquiry was aborted.
But this trip is not in vain.
It is one thing to know the existence of the guardian. This is an anecdote at best. A little attention will not have any impact on the status quo.
The point is, I know that there is a powerful tribe looking for Yugathira, but I don’t know what it wants.
This is huge news.
If nothing else, at least after knowing this news, we can take the right medicine and strengthen the information confidentiality within the clan. We must not let the news of the existence of Yugath Sheila get out. At the same time, we will further strengthen the "security" work of Flora Forest.
Otherwise, it would be terrible if someone calculated something with no intention of knowing anything.
Thinking of this, Sunaifa felt a little worried.
Because from the brief interaction with Master Sheep, she could conclude that Master Sheep's tribe was not in the western part of the North and was extremely powerful.
His strength can almost be regarded as the number one in the western part of the northern border, but he is not conspicuous among his own tribe.
It is hard to imagine what a powerful tribe that was.
What is even more terrifying is the master craftsman mentioned by Master Yang.
"The earliest existence born in the land of the North"
It must be known that in ancient times, the Iceborn were already living on the permafrost tundra of the North.
Since it can be called the earliest existence, it must be earlier than the Iceborn.
Earlier than ancient times, it has been countless thousands of years until now, but according to Master Yang, this master craftsman is still alive today.
If he had not lied, one can imagine what a terrifying existence this master craftsman would be.
"My King, what do you think?" As soon as he returned to Phoenix, Sunaifa told Gothe everything he had seen and heard during his trip.
Gaode pondered for a moment, silently digesting this shocking news in his heart.
"If it is only slightly stronger than us, we naturally have to be fully prepared and pay attention to all odds."
Then, he spread his hands and said in a very natural or "displayed" manner: "But this is a being who has lived from an earlier time in ancient times to the present. With such a long lifespan, his power has exceeded the scope of what we can handle."
hh "In this case, we should calm down, because if he really comes to Zhenbing in person, no matter what we do, it will be useless."
hh What he said is so reasonable, so Sunaifa was convinced in an instant , the tense heart also relaxed: "However, we still need to strengthen the security and confidentiality of Flora Forest, at least to prevent other people from prying."
"The safest way is to expand the scale of Flora Forest as soon as possible." Gothe nodded in agreement.
A tree cannot be hidden in the desert, but if it is in the forest, it is difficult to find it.
“Since Minister Flora unearthed the Permafrost Oak, the number of mages in the clan who master the art of nature has been growing rapidly. If this progress continues, Flora’s Forest will become a real forest in just one year.” Sunaifa nodded.
The discovery of the Permafrost Oak is the most important thing to Phoenix.
Because "the art of nature" is a secret art that can truly effectively promote the development of the Northern Territory.
This is the cornerstone.
"I originally wanted to use this matter to directly annex Winter's Hammer, but it seems that I have to consider it in the long term." Gothe sighed.
In his expectation, since he had learned a lesson, he could use this reason to conquer the Winter Hammer by force. However, the appearance of Master Sheep made this matter shelved.
I don’t even know how long it will be put on hold.
Master Sheep came to find Yugathira and sought the help of Winter's Hammer.
There is a high probability that he will not leave Winter's Hammer until he finds this thing.
As long as Master Sheep is in charge of Winter's Hammer, there will be no plan to conquer it by force.
"Fortunately, everything in the Frostwolf Clan is going as planned."
"Yes," Sunaifa is well aware of all matters in the clan, and immediately said: "In the past year, the birth rate of wolf pups in the Frostwolf Clan has increased by about 50% compared to the same period."
The birth rate and the same period are both concepts popularized by Gaode.
According to him, in a mature governance system, all document reports must have a large amount of accurate data, and many data concepts have been introduced, such as same period, year-on-year, month-on-month, etc.
It was indeed a little uncomfortable at first, but Sunaifa quickly mastered the use of these data and used it skillfully.
The reason why words like "approximately" appear is because the Frostwolf clan is the "enemy" after all, and the information available cannot be accurate.
"This is just the beginning. The birth rate of wolf pups in the Frostwolf clan will increase this year, and it will increase significantly. Last year, they were still in a wait-and-see mode and were relatively conservative about purchasing Northwest Barley No. 1.
But after we started the counter-purchase of the wolf milk, wolf fur and even wolf blood produced by the Frostwolf clan according to what you said, they first relaxed their vigilance, and secondly, with the huge economic benefits in front of them, they were directly dazzled and completely let go of the reproduction of snow wolves. 》
"In two years at most, the Frostwolf clan will become absolutely dependent on our tribe's No. 1 northwest barley species.
As soon as we stop supplying them with the No. 1 northwest barley species, they will either choose to surrender or kill most of the snow wolves in the clan with their own hands to relieve the food pressure." Sunaifa was still amazed at this.
She is an excellent ruler with a natural ability to rule, but this is indeed the first time she has heard of this technique.
This also opened up Sunaifa’s thinking to a certain extent.
People like her are very good at drawing inferences from one case to another, they just need a little inspiration.
"If it's the former, then it goes without saying. If it's the latter, then that's when they are at their weakest. Even if they use martial arts, the damage will be minimized." Gothe said with a smile.
The dust has basically settled on the Frostwolf clan, and what he is worried about now is the Hammer of Winter.
"It's true that the plan can't keep up with the changes." He sighed.
"My king, you seem to attach great importance to Winter's Hammer?" Sunaifa couldn't help but ask.
The Winter's Hammer and the Frostwolf Clan are both large Iceborn tribes. Their own strength, resources and even population are not much different. Even in Sunaifa's view, the value of the Frostwolf Clan is higher.
Their snow wolf domestication technology is absolutely priceless.
With the current abundant food resources in Phoenix, as well as the gem sweetberry trees currently being cultivated in Flora Forest (one gem sweetberry can satisfy a snow wolf’s food for one day).
As soon as they conquer the Frostwolf clan and obtain the method of taming snow wolves, they can quickly increase the number of snow wolves several times, bringing a visible increase in strength to the naked eye.
In comparison, Winter's Hammer's forging technology seems not that useful, and it is not straightforward enough to improve Phoenix.
"Their forging technology is very important, the minerals they master are very important, and the power of fire is also very important."
Gothe naturally knew where Sunaifa was confused, and explained it in the easiest way to understand: "A Winter's Hammer is related to the next two departments of Phoenix."
Sunaifa raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
At present, there are only five departments in Phoenix, including the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Education, the Public Security Bureau, the Office and the Ministry of Construction.
The birth of each department will either bring visible changes to Phoenix, or solve the most difficult problems in Phoenix today.
And one Winter's Hammer actually involves two new departments?
"Ministry of Industry and Ministry of Finance." Gaode did not show off to Sunaifa. Once he opened his mouth, he started talking.
Phoenix has always been a "public ownership" system, where everyone shares the fruits of labor and eats from a big pot, and the food is distributed by the ruler.
In the case of limited food and scarcity of materials, this system is considered reasonable. The unified distribution of limited food can ensure the survival of the tribe to the greatest extent.
But now that the food problem has been solved, this system will hinder the development of Phoenix.
To liberate productivity, private ownership is urgent.
The foundation of private ownership is currency.
Without currency, private ownership would be out of the question.
"We need to master the fire power of Winter's Hammer and the gold mines to be able to mint enough currency to implement private ownership."
“As for industry, I can’t explain it clearly for a while, and it’s hard to understand it before seeing the real thing. In short, in one sentence, industry is the leading force of the national economy and has an irreplaceable core position in the development of a force or even a country.” Gaude said.
"Of course, Winter's Hammer is not so important," Seeing Sunaifa thoughtfully, Gothe was afraid that she would think wrong, and added: "Their things can only be regarded as the starting point of the Ministry of Industry and Finance. It is naturally best to have them, which can save some effort. Without us, we can start on our own."
"I understand." Sunaifa nodded.
"One more thing. Things here are almost over. I have been back to the North for a while. I have been away for too long. I am afraid of being exposed to the Plantagenet Dynasty if I haven't been there for too long. I will probably go back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Gothe said to Sunaifa again.
"It will take another month for the next astral teleportation recharge to be completed. You will have to work hard during my absence." As a hands-off shopkeeper, he still felt a little guilty.
Sunaifa did not complain at all, and even warned: "You can rest assured that I am here in the north, but in the Plantagenet Dynasty, you are alone, so you have to be careful."
