It took three days for the carriage to arrive in Senegal, West Africa!
After getting off the carriage, the unique style of the tropical savannah jumped out from afar. Various carnivores and herbivores filled the place. The herbivores looked at Jiang Ning with a slightly alert and curious look. Although the carnivores also looked at him warily, they still had a hunting look in their eyes.
Look, there was a lioness lying in the grass, approaching him little by little.
"Haha, I'm being treated as prey!" Jiang Ning looked at the approaching lioness with interest, holding the magic wand in his hand and pointing at the grass where the lioness was. In an instant, a wide wall of fire encircled the lioness. The sudden flames frightened the lioness and made her panic.
She kept trying to rush out of the sea of fire, but her fear of fire made her dare not attack the wall of fire. Fear filled her lion face, and she kept howling.
At this time, Jiang Ning saw two little lions stumbling out of the bushes where they were hiding, and they kept howling when they came to the fire wall.
"I can't eat the lion!"
He shook his head helplessly, and with a flick of his magic wand, the wall of fire dissipated instantly.
The lioness saw the wall of fire surrounding it disappear silently. Its IQ couldn't figure out why, and it ran away after surviving the disaster. It didn't dare to attack Jiang Ning again. All this was just a trivial episode for Jiang Ning.
But his performance just now was clearly seen by several pairs of eyes in the dark.
-
Drive away the nearby carnivores and stop the carriage next to a balsam tree. Jiang Ning got off the car and collected some precious plants nearby. In order to preserve these precious plants with different habits, he specially opened up a botanical garden. Let the house elf Dumi take care of these delicate and precious plants every day.
In the evening, Jiang Ning had dinner and lay in a rocking chair quietly watching the beautiful sunset. The combination of work and rest during these days has increased his spiritual strength. Learning new knowledge and combining it with what he has learned has also enhanced his foundation.
Living a fulfilling life every day, this kind of learning and lifestyle is different from the learning in school days. It seems boring! Jiang Ning was very satisfied with the feeling of uncovering the mystery bit by bit by constantly learning the mysterious knowledge related to wizards.
"Huh?"
From a distance, Jiang Ning saw flashes of fire in the distance.
Looking closely, it didn't look like a forest fire, so he didn't care about these things. He looked at the beauty of the sunset that was unique to West Africa with great interest. After a while, he saw the fire gradually approaching him. Only then did he take it seriously. He saw a group of black people holding torches and walking towards him with great fanfare.
"What are you doing?"
The black people of this era were much more barbaric than those in the 21st century. Unlike their descendants, they had no contact with modern civilization, although there were many black tribes in West Africa that had given birth to civilization. But overall, they were still much more barbaric and backward.
After about ten minutes, the group of black people finally came to Jiang Ning.
From the group of black people, an old black man dressed as a chief came out. He came to Jiang Ning and chattered something. But unfortunately, Jiang Ning couldn't understand what he was saying. There are many ethnic groups in Africa, and these ethnic groups have many tribes. Even in each tribe, their languages are different.
As if he understood that Jiang Ning could not understand their language, the man dressed as a chief said something to the people around him. Then, several black people came to Jiang Ning with things wrapped in palm leaves. They opened the packages one by one.
Jiang Ning saw that they were wrapped with food, such as fruits and so on. There were also some packages, which contained one gold product after another!
Then, these black people, led by the chief, knelt in front of Jiang Ning in unison and kept kneeling. They kept saying something!
——
"Butler, what are they doing?"
"They are worshipping you and treating you as a god!"
Jiang Ning suddenly realized: "So that's it!" I remember seeing similar information on the Internet before, saying that in the early days of the great voyage, when the Indians first saw the white Europeans, they regarded the European whites riding horses as gods, because there were no animals like horses in America. So, when they saw white people riding such tall and majestic animals, they regarded white people as gods. And worship and offer sacrifices, offering food and gold to please the "gods". As a result, the gold made these first colonists greedy. They began to slaughter Indians and seize their gold.
In addition, the Inca Empire, which was entrenched in the South American continent at that time, was destroyed by more than a hundred Spanish colonists! And the Indians were still thousands of years ago in all aspects. When they saw the muskets in the hands of the colonists, they were terrified! They thought it was the weapon of the gods! They lost their will to resist! Otherwise, how could a mere hundred Spanish colonists destroy the Inca Empire with such a vast territory?
——The
same is true for these black people who kept kneeling in front of them!
Their level of civilization was very low. When they saw that Jiang Ning could easily command the flames, they naturally linked him with the gods.
Soon, Jiang Ning also thought of this problem.
He felt that he must have been seen by these black people when he cast a spell to scare the lioness, so they came to find him.
Jiang Ning made a "start" gesture to them. At first, they didn't understand, but after Jiang Ning did it several times again. They finally understood what Jiang Ning meant. After they stood up, the chief kept saying something to Jiang Ning. He also pointed his hand into the distance.
"They are inviting you to go to their tribe!"
"Go to their tribe? I don't have the time! Next, I have to cross the sea and cross South America!" Jiang Ning rubbed his chin. He had some thoughts in his mind and needed to go to the American continent to find them. Moreover, the American continent is huge and vast, with many rare herbs and magical creatures. It is very worthwhile for him to collect them to expand the variety scale of his botanical garden!
The chief saw that the "god" had not made any move after he had invited them! He was very anxious because he was saying something anxiously. He also tried to touch Jiang Ning's body with his hands, but was bounced back by the twisted position around Jiang Ning's body. This invisible force made everyone more awed of Jiang Ning.
They knelt on the ground and kept saying something.
——Jiang
Ning was speechless: "Forget it, let's go and have a look! Maybe we can find some rare plants, who knows!" Thinking of this, he took away the carriage. He raised his foot and walked towards the place pointed by the chief.
When the black man lying on the ground saw this, he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
The chief quickly got up from the ground and ran a few steps to Jiang Ning. He spoke in a dialect that Jiang Ning couldn't understand with an extremely respectful demeanor. Then he waved his hand, and several strong black men immediately came to Jiang Ning carrying a simple and rough "palanquin" and stopped beside him.
Jiang Ning understood this time. This was an invitation for him to ride in the sedan chair.
Looking at this sedan chair covered with a layer of animal skin, which looked simple, rough and ugly, Jiang Ning raised his foot and sat on it. After that, the chief shouted, and four strong black men immediately lifted the sedan chair and walked towards their tribe.
——Everyone
should understand! My manuscripts are not enough, and I haven't saved much until now. From time to time, I send a few more chapters to thank everyone! The rest are planned to be saved for the release of the shelves, and then burst out. Therefore, I have to write more words until very late every day. And I don't write words during the day. The house is too noisy. Only at night when the house and the outside world are quiet can I write words. However, even so, I didn't write many chapters in one night. The highest is six chapters! The lowest is even one chapter. During this period of time, it was not easy to equalize the number of chapters updated and saved. But I still have to write at least 3 chapters every day to have two days of updates. So, I also want to update more, but the manuscripts don't allow it! I don't know what's wrong with this broken input method, and there are always typos. I believe everyone can see it. Generally, I will check it roughly after typing. Sometimes I was too sleepy to check. Please forgive me!!!
