[Tiring!]
[Congratulations! The trait 'Teleportation' has been activated.]
"Teleportation?"
It felt like it had some kind of great characteristic. I quickly checked by clicking on the newly opened 'Teleport' in the status window.
[Teleportation (3/3) – You can teleport from your current location within a distance of 30m. Can only be used three times per day.]
"This is awesome!"
I shouted in a very excited voice without realizing it. It was clear that 'Teleportation' was a combat-related trait. There are other uses for it as well, but···
In any case, it was clear that it was an outstanding ability. I calmed my excitement for a moment and thought calmly.
"Three times a day... You can teleport 30 meters at a time? What if you teleport three times in a row?"
Although there will be some time difference, this means that you can move a distance of up to 90m in one go. If you use 'teleportation' in a fierce battlefield...
I could kill the enemy leader in an instant by surprise, or conversely, save my life from a dangerous enemy attack. Suddenly, goosebumps appeared all over my body.
"It's not a jackpot, it's a huge hit."
I took a deep breath for a moment and checked the map window to see who was around me. There was no one. I stepped back and looked at the opposite wall with sparkling eyes.
The distance is about 10m.
"Teleportation!"
At that moment, my body transformed like an illusion and in an instant I was standing on the opposite side.
Srrrrrr!
As I looked at the wall right in front of me, my mouth started watering without me realizing it. Even if I try to calm down, I can't calm down.
I looked up and looked at the status window.
[Teleportation (2/3)]
As expected, the number was reduced by one.
"Yeah. That means you can move three times a day."
He took a deep breath and nodded his head repeatedly.
"I guess I should only use it in really urgent cases."
After a while, when my mind had calmed down somewhat, I checked out the 'Celestial Library' this time.
"yes!"
In the blink of an eye, I returned from the 'Celestial Library' to the workshop. My plan to acquire intermediate metal smelting skills failed, but I wasn't disappointed.
There will be another chance next time. There are three skills I chose.
[Beginner Cooking]
[Beginner Shipbuilding]
[Intermediate Martial Arts]
Since I had thought about these two skills in advance, I was able to quickly return from the 'Celestial Library' without much trouble.

-Lenapair (20/20)
There were only newly learned skills added this time, but nothing really changed. Intermediate combat skills have been created separately, and overall skill proficiency has increased slightly.
Of course, there were skills whose proficiency had stagnated. I also turned off the status window for a moment.
"Inventory!"
I removed the food that was taking up one slot and put the bronze sword in my inventory to store it.
"Hmm! I'm still excited about the teleportation feature."
At that moment, a noise was heard from outside and a warrior ran into the workshop.
"Chief! The Mohawks have come to our village."
"Okay. Tell them I'll be out soon."
"Yes, Chief!"
Last time we did business, they made a big deal about visiting our town, so I kind of expected them to come. But it came too late.
The Wampanoag tribe used to come to our village to trade candles and soap.
"By the way, I thought the Mohegan tribe would come first… but there's been no news at all."
On the map, it was the Mohegan tribe, the closest tribe to our village. After a moment of doubt, I quickly moved my steps to greet the guests.
* * *
Town hall. 'Flying in the Sky', the great warrior of the Mohawk tribe, greeted me warmly as if meeting an old friend.
We had a simple meal, asked each other how we were doing, and chatted.
"······You moved very well. If it weren't for you, we would have been completely defeated by the Mohawk tribe. I wanted to thank you again."
"···yes."
I just nodded my head every now and then and listened to his story in silence.
'You talk a lot, despite your appearance.'
For a while, 'Flying in the Sky' continued to spit out words.
"······In return for the surprise attack, we gathered warriors and attacked, but they had already fled to another place. And later, they allied with the tribes on Lake Ontario and sent warnings and threats to our tribe. Since we were outnumbered by warriors, we had no choice but to retreat."
"···okay."
"But I'm still anxious. I'm planning to stop by your village and meet with the chief of the Lenape tribe to ask for help. They've formed an alliance, so we can't just sit back and do nothing, can we?"
"That's true."
After a while, the meal at the village hall ended. The Mohawks hurriedly concluded the transaction, as if they were in a hurry to go.
They exchanged the grain and wool they brought for candles and soap.
"This fur coat is pretty warm. It was cheaper than we expected, but it wasn't a bad deal."
"It was a good deal."
'Flying in the Sky' said as he looked around the village.
"There are many interesting things. I would like to stay here for a day and ask you about various things, but as you can see, we are busy."
"Yes, you can come again next time."
"That's true."
As I was about to say my final goodbyes, 'Flying in the Sky' suddenly asked me as if talking to myself.
"But did you speak our tribe's language so well?"
You couldn't even call it a game system. But I didn't want to bother explaining and making excuses for each and every one.
As always, he smiled calmly and told me to make my own judgment.
"yes."
"Well, back then I barely talked to you. Haha! Now that I think about it, I guess I don't know much about you."
"From now on, we can become friends."
"Haha! That's right. I'm so out of it because of the tribe. Anyway, I'll see you next time."
After a while, the Mohawks disappeared from my sight.
"Hmm! The surrounding tribes are in disarray, which is not good. If we make a mistake, it could have repercussions for our tribe as well."
The situation around us is unstable, and we cannot help but be caught up in its vortex, whether we want it or not.
"I have to prepare thoroughly."
* * *
Several days have passed in a flash. The season displayed on the map window had changed from fall to winter. Winter of 1400.
Before making wheels and carts, they first made roads within the village.
"Not even a single stone should be sticking out."
"The stones must be laid as tightly as possible without any gaps."
As soon as the morning work was over, all the villagers who could muster the strength to follow my instructions were mobilized.
Of course, the Susquehannock warriors were also watching me and cutting the stones the villagers had brought.
I also did not stay still, but together with the villagers, I laid the cut stones on the ground. At that moment, the warrior standing guard on the watchtower shouted.
"Chief! The cold tree and the warriors have come."
I was worried because there was no news, but it finally came. He got up from his seat and spoke to the villagers.
"I'll take a break for a moment."
A while later, I was alone at the village entrance, welcoming the 'Cold Tree' and the warriors. On the watchtowers erected on both sides of the entrance, warriors were holding crossbows and ready to shoot arrows at any time.
"First of all, I can't trust these people. Don't feel bad about it."
"Yes, Chief!"
The 'cold tree' and the warriors retreated behind me. The Quiri Pi tribe stood before me with nervous expressions. Thirty-two people, including children.
This time, it was made up of family. Finally, the 'talkative sparrow' approached me and spoke carefully.
"They are all good people. I hope the chief makes a good decision."
"······."
I said nothing, but quickly scanned the Quiri Pi tribe with my mind's eye. It's not that I have a particularly negative or dark disposition.
However, their eyes looked very anxious, as if they were worried that they might not be chosen by me.
Phew!
I relaxed my hardened expression and spoke to them in my fluent Curie Pian language.
"Welcome to our village. Come on in."
"······."
Everyone looked at me for a moment with bewildered eyes, then bowed their heads repeatedly with expressions of joy and emotion, expressing their gratitude.
"Thank you!"
"Thank you so much for accepting us!"
I even sobbed and cried. After a while, the wandering tribesmen brought by the 'Talkative Sparrow' entered the village.
The townspeople welcomed them warmly as they passed my test.
"Brave tree! Guide them to their new home."
"Yes, Chief!"
He turned his head and looked at the 'talkative sparrow' and said.
"Please tell us about precautions to take so that they can live well in our village."
"Understood, Chief!"
The 'Talkative Sparrow' answered vigorously and ran towards the Curie P people. I entered the town hall with the 'cold tree'.
'Cold Tree' began to calmly report on the process of bringing the Quiri Pi tribe people.
"······It seems that the Pequot and Mohegan tribes are at war over territory. The Quiri Pee tribesmen have heard the rumors and are very anxious. I wanted to bring more Quiri Pee tribesmen, but the war between the two tribes has made things difficult, so I hurriedly returned."
"It was a good decision for the safety of the group. By the way, how many Curie Pi people are you planning to bring?"
"I'll have to ask the talkative sparrow for more details, but I'd guess there are about a hundred."
"A hundred people···"
"······."
"By the way, you must be very tired. I kept you here for too long. You must have had a hard time."
"no."
"Go and rest."
"Yes, Chief!"
When he left, I was left alone in the town hall and fell into deep thought.
"It seems like it would be difficult for a cold tree to do it alone."
If it had not been for the war between the Pequot and Mohegan tribes, the task would have continued for the 'Cold Tree'.
"In the end, should I go?"
* * *
It's been two weeks since I left the village. Behind me, about fifty Quiri Pi tribesmen were following.
"Where should we go next?"
"The area we're going to now is a bit rough. Would it be okay if I took the lead?"
"Take the lead."
"Thank you, Chief!"
As soon as I gave permission, the 'talkative sparrow' cautiously stepped forward. Fortunately, so far we've had no problems bringing in the Curie P people.
However, we couldn't help but feel tense because the place we were now in was the territory of the Mohegan tribe, which was at war with the Pequot tribe.
This time, I gave instructions to the warriors accompanying me and adjusted their positions.
"Heavy snowstorm! Left!"
"Yes, Chief!"
'Heavy Snowstorm', following my instructions, quickly moved to the left along with two of our village's warriors. The three remaining Susquehannock warriors escorted the Curie P men on the right.
'Am I that scared?'
'The Blizzard' and the Susquehannock warriors have been following my orders without any trouble so far.
Phew!
And at that moment, when I was habitually checking the map window, my expression hardened without me realizing it.
"Everyone stop!"
