Chapter 37 - Episode 037

Lenape tribe, 'Big Turtle' village. After I started a family with 'Moon Rises', not a single person opposed me becoming the chief of the new village.

Rather, the atmosphere was one in which people actively welcomed it. The chiefs and elders held meetings day after day to sort out who would move to the new village.

Finally, it was decided who would move to the new village. Approximately seventy people per family. There were children and old people.

Each person was waiting at the entrance to the village, carrying a basket on their shoulder or a load. As the people prepared to leave for the new village, the 'brave wolf' approached.

"Chief! Everything is ready. Just give the order to go."

"great job."

As I looked at the 'brave wolf' running back with his mind's eye turned on, I saw his abilities and tendencies.

[Brave Wolf]

[Affiliation: Lenape Tribe, Warrior]

[Alignment: Righteous and trustworthy. A versatile warrior. High potential to grow into a great warrior.]

[Ability]

Stamina: 13

Strength: 13

Agility: 11

Wisdom: 8.

Command: 21

'Brave Wolf' had all the qualities to grow into a great warrior. His physical strength, strength, and agility are also superior to those of other warriors.

In addition, he had leadership abilities that other warriors did not have. Even his leadership ability score was higher than mine.

Perhaps, if it weren't for me, 'The Brave Wolf' would have become the chief.

'I must raise him well as my closest confidant from now on.'

Being able to see the tendencies and potential of others through your deep insight will be of great help in leading your tribe in the future.

I turned my head and looked around at the warriors who would be escorting the tribesmen together with the 'Brave Wolf'.

[Fast-footed deer]

[Affiliation: Lenape tribe, warrior]

[Tendency: Quick-witted and sociable. Fast on foot. High potential to grow into an elite archer.]

[Ability]

Stamina: 11

Strength: 10

Agility: 15

Wisdom: 9

'Perfect for scouts or archers.'

[Honest Bear]

[Affiliation: Lenape Tribe, Warrior]

[Alignment: Trusts and respects 'Very Big Two Thousand Days' very much. Powerful to the point of ignorance. Moderate potential to grow into a great warrior.]

[Ability]

Stamina: 15

Strength: 13

Agility: 6

Wisdom: 2

I was a little confused because the 'Honest Bear' ability was listed as brute strength instead of strength, but it seemed like it would be perfect if raised as a fierce general like Xu Zhu or Zhen Wei from the Three Kingdoms.

The rest of the warriors had average abilities, but they each had their own unique characteristics. Hunters, woodcutters, craftsmen, carpenters, butchers, potters, etc.

In particular, 'Wind and Cloud', who were to become the shamans of the new village, had extremely high potential to become the great shaman.

In addition, there were unfamiliar abilities. Spiritual power.

[Wind and Cloud]

[Affiliation: Lenape Tribe, Shaman]

[Alignment: Wise and clever. Specializes in healing and curses. High potential to grow into a great shaman.]

[Ability]

Stamina: 6

Strength: 5

Agility: 4

Wisdom: 15

Spiritual power: 35

A cure and a curse? I felt this last time too, but I don't know how the healing and curse are carried out.

'You'll know if you wait and see.'

In addition, as there were many applicants for settling in the new village, the chief used his authority to select families with children with high potential.

After a while, the villagers of 'Big Turtle' came out to the village entrance to see them off. People greeted each other, sharing feelings with neighbors and family.

At that moment, the 'Forest Hunter', who had just finished talking with 'The Moon Rises', approached me.

"We will actively support you until you settle down, so please ask for help at any time."

"thank you."

"Lead people well."

"I will do my best."

My proficiency has increased, and my Lenape language has become much more fluent than before. As soon as the greetings were over, I was the first to step forward and shout.

"depart!"

"depart!"

The number of people moving is approximately one hundred, including those who will help with the new settlement.

Ten warriors moved first. After reconnoitering the surroundings and ensuring safety, people followed with their luggage.

I was in the lead, checking and rechecking my surroundings again and again, looking at the map window and the map window.

[Tiring!]

[Quest has been activated.]

[Quest: Travel safely to the new settlement.]

[Reward: A certain amount of experience points.]

* * *

We were able to arrive at our new settlement five days after leaving the 'Big Turtle' village. Fortunately, they did not encounter any dangerous animals or encounter any surprise attacks from hostile tribes along the way.

Of course, I was able to detect the danger in advance through my map window and move safely. I shouted loudly as I heard the notification sound that the quest was completed.

"Take a break!"

At my direction, the warriors shouted loudly to convey the message to the tribesmen. After the tribesmen unloaded their loads, they huddled together to rest and had a simple dinner of meat.

I also sat down with 'The Moon Rises' and took a rest. She took the meat out of her leather pouch and handed it to me.

"Are you hungry? Eat."

"huh."

He nodded and chewed the meat she handed him, looking around at the darkening sky for a moment, lost in thought. When I actually became the chief, I had a hard time deciding what to build first.

I thought things would go smoothly while drawing SimCity, but the reality was very different.

'The population is severely under-represented.'

In reality, the available workforce is about twenty people, including young women. It was obvious that it would take quite some time to build the house I had in mind with that number of people.

And above all, solving the food problem was the most urgent task. The 'Big Turtle' village provided food support, but it had its limits.

'I have to make a field too... and it's too late to plant corn.'

As I was deep in thought with a serious expression on my face, 'The Moon Rises' spoke carefully.

"A very big two thousand days! There is no need to overthink it. Isn't it important to solve them one by one?"

"······."

She is right. I guess I was thinking too complicated. If you solve the problems one by one, the path will appear. After a while, when the break was over, the 'brave wolf' and the 'swift deer' approached.

"Chief! It's going to get dark soon. What should we do?"

In order to start building the village in earnest starting tomorrow, it was important to relieve the fatigue from the past days.

"Building a mobile hut first."

"okay."

"I'll tell the people to hurry and build the mobile huts."

As they stepped aside, people rose from their seats and started moving busily. Let's all work together. Soon, dozens of portable huts were built around a large campfire. I called my warriors and had them stand guard in groups of three.

"Warriors who do not stand guard, be prepared to fight at any time."

"Yes, Chief!"

The warriors answered powerfully.

* * *

The next day. Current level is 16. Random ability Wisdom +1 and invested 5 unused remaining points into Wisdom. Map radius is 100m, total 200m.

I could barely catch my breath and kept the map window open as I looked around cautiously. A pack of wolves came once or twice during the night, but since there were so many people gathered, they quietly retreated without any incident.

As the sun rose, 'The Moon Rises' had a simple breakfast of corn porridge that had been preheated over a campfire. As expected, quests started one after another as soon as I left the mobile hut.

[Tiring!]

[Quest has been started.]

[Quest: Build a village.]

[Reward: A lot of experience points.]

[Tiring!]

[Quest has been started.]

[Quest: Build a fence.]

[Reward: A small amount of experience points.]

[Tiring!]

[Quest has been started.]

[Quest: Build a watchtower.]

[Reward: A small amount of experience points.]

···

"I'm going to be out of my mind for a while."

Knowing that this wasn't the end of the quest, I took a deep breath and walked towards the campfire where people were gathered.

"Are you here, Chief?"

"Did you sleep well last night?"

Everyone was looking at me as morning greetings came and went. First of all, the safety of the townspeople was important.

He looked at the 'rough hands' who came to help from the 'big turtle' village and said.

"For the time being, I'll buy a portable hut. First, I'll build a fence and a watchtower."

"Understood, Chief!"

'Rough Hands' answered forcefully and took the workers away. He turned his head and said to his wife, 'The Moon Rises'

"Someone to look after the children. A minimal number of people."

"Okay. I'll ask the adults to look after the children with a minimum number of people."

After a while, people started moving busily according to my instructions. Wells, houses, kilns, workshops, turkey pens, food storage areas, etc.

Since there was so much to build in the future, we decided to first widen the site and build a fence.

"From here to here."

"The tree is about this thick."

"I will sell the trap too."

"Yes, Chief!"

They mobilized everyone they could to build the fence as quickly as possible. Cut down a tree. Cut the branches. Sharpen one end of the tree.

Dig deep into the ground. 'Rough Hands' encouraged the sweaty tribesmen.

"Come on! Let's all cheer up!"

* * *

Several days have passed in a flash.

[Tiring]

[You have leveled up.]

I decided to check the message later and went back to the completed fence to do a final check. A fence larger than the 'Big Turtle' village was rectangular and tightly packed with trees, leaving no gaps.

Outside the fence, a trap with a wooden spear was set up. There are two entrances, the south gate and the north gate. He nodded with a satisfied smile, looking at the 'rough hands' that were slightly tense.

"Well made."

Only then did his face brighten and he let out a sigh of relief as he spoke.

"Whew! I'm glad I built it with more care than when I built the fence last time. Then, should I start building the watchtower now?"

"yes."

"Okay, I'll get started right away."

Since the location for installing the watchtower had already been discussed in advance, there was no need to give him any separate instructions.

As 'Rough Hand' turned around, 'Lazy Beaver' yawned deeply and followed him sleepily.

'I have to study hard.'

I wish 'Rough Hands' would settle down in the new village, but unfortunately he decided to remain in the 'Big Turtle' village.

So, he had no choice but to give him a 'lazy beaver' who was good with his hands and had high potential to become a craftsman, as his assistant.

"It's good to have a good mind at times like this."

There were limits to developing a village alone. We must develop by recruiting talented people equally. If there is no talent, talent must be developed based on ability, tendency, and potential.

That way I will be comfortable. The problem is···

"There are no people."

There was nothing we could do with only seventy people.

"We need to come up with a plan to increase the population or something. This isn't an extremely difficult game."

After a while, the sun began to set and a watchtower was erected at the north gate. 'Rough Hands' let out a small complaint as if he was envious of the watchtower.

"Chief! Is this really so? Last time you were building the watchtower, you should have taught me how to raise the roof."

At that time, I was so out of it that I didn't even think about putting up a roof on the watchtower. It was only after I learned the basic architecture skills that I thought of a roof for the watchtower to keep out the rain and snow.

I brushed his frustration aside with an awkward smile.

"So now. I'm going to teach you. Rough hands! How to put a roof on the watchtower. Did you learn it well?"

"Hahaha! You learned well, Chief! When we return to the village later, I'll have to build a roof for the watchtower. And I'll teach you a lot in the future."

At that moment, the 'brave wolf' approached fully armed.

"Chief! You must take the fish from the trap."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

"I get it."

Recently, we have installed twenty traps in the river and go out to catch fish every morning and evening. I took the warriors and moved to the place where the river was.

* * *

Several days passed by again. After confirming that eight watchtowers were completed, I went with the warriors to check the fish traps before dark.

While the warriors placed the fish in baskets and baited the traps and re-set them, I stood guard, circling the area with my map window open.

With food running out quickly, it was inevitable that we would be worried.

"I need to catch you and go hunting."

Food was running out quickly, so we couldn't help but worry. At that moment, grass that had grown as high as my waist caught my eye.

"Th-that's?!"

I was so nervous that I couldn't even speak properly.
