Chapter 245 Death Valley

Lily came to Purficott's laboratory, which was the most respected and worshiped place in the entire Eagle Beak Cliff, and even in the entire North, because this was where the Northern Lord lived.

After witnessing the powerful combat effectiveness of the Northern Army, most of the indigenous tribes in the Northern Territory have surrendered to Purficott's command, and Purficott's policies have brought visible changes to various tribes. She also made various tribes respect her very much.

So when Lily walked into the laboratory with a mood similar to that of a pilgrim, she was quite excited to see her idol, which made her involuntarily bow in front of Purficott.

"Huh? Why are you giving such a big gift? I don't like people kneeling and talking in front of me. Stand up." Looking at Lily, who was about to fall to the ground, Purficott felt a little helpless.

The thinking of these indigenous tribes is very simple. They can hate white people very much, and they can also directly worship the strong men who bring them a better life. Their emotions are not that complicated, and from some perspectives they are even pure.

Purficott could feel the pure admiration from Lily, but it was difficult for her to understand why these natives worshiped her so much.

It's easy to understand why people in the empire worship her. After all, she blew up the capitals of three powerful countries at once, making the empire the undisputed number one power in the old world. It's normal for the people of the empire to worship her.

But these natives? What influence and changes did she bring to these indigenous people?
conquer? This is definitely true. The White Bear Knights under her command have crushed all the indigenous tribes that resisted her rule in the northern land. The remaining tribes basically came to surrender on their own initiative. It is definitely okay to say that she is a conqueror. .

It is not difficult to understand that some of these conquered tribes have some strong-willed guys who suffer from Stockholm syndrome and transform their hostility into worship.

Perhaps it was this that made the natives worship themselves? Purficott was a little unsure.

Most of the goods carried by the caravan are the same as what the Wildmane tribe needed originally, which are nothing more than iron ingots, various working tools, and forges that can smelt steel.

In fact, Purficott did not know that after the various indigenous tribes surrendered to the Northern Territory, the old steward sent caravans in the name of the Northern Territory Lords to conduct friendly trade exchanges with various tribes.

After all, after Perficott conquered these tribes, she did not impose excessive taxes or exploit the indigenous tribes. Although she taxed these indigenous tribes, ranging from people to materials, overall she did not deliberately exploit them. These natives.

So for the indigenous tribes, Purficott does plan to drain their manpower and serve as workers in the north in the future. At the same time, she also needs them to cultivate the land and produce food for themselves. But for these indigenous tribes, she has no intention of exterminating them all, or even From her point of view, as long as these natives are obedient and obey her rule, she will protect them.

Purficott wanted a stable northern border, not scalping all the natives and driving them into reservations.

These things are nothing to the North, but to those tribes, they are valuable tools that can actually change their lives.

It can be said that even in the short period of less than a month since the beginning of spring, the lives of the various indigenous tribes who surrendered to the north have been greatly improved, and can even be called earth-shaking changes.

After all, in the past they used wooden or very low-quality pig iron tools to cultivate the land, but now they can use far better agricultural tools to cultivate the land than their swords, axes and other weapons in the past. Moreover, the old housekeeper also sold them more advanced agricultural tools and farming techniques, which greatly improved the efficiency of spring planting of these indigenous tribes.

In the eyes of the local indigenous people, this is a blessing that can be called a gift from the gods, and Perficott, who brought about all these changes, can be called the incarnation of the gods, so it is good for these indigenous tribes to worship her. Got it.

Don't think this is unbelievable. For these ignorant indigenous tribes, the fields that originally took three days to plow are now plowed in one day. How can this not be called a miracle?

Not to mention that the caravans in the north brought about far more changes than just that.

However, Purficott did not know this. During this time, she was more concerned about the shield machine. Most of these people's livelihood and government affairs were left to the old housekeeper and the civilian officials in the north. Reason, only things that need her to see personally will be brought to her.

She brought Lily here today mainly because she wanted to ask her something.

"Lily, do you know where there is black water that can be ignited in the north?" Purficott didn't hold out much hope. He just asked Lily with the attitude of hitting three shots with a date without a date.

Lily was stunned for a moment when she heard Purficott's question, but soon began to recall whether she had seen or heard of anything similar.

However, even though she racked her brains, she couldn't remember where in the north there was such black water that could be ignited, and she couldn't understand how the water could be ignited.
In the end, Lily could only shake her head with a guilty look on her face: "I'm sorry, Lord, I have never heard of the kind of black water you mentioned that can be ignited."

Hearing what Lily said, Purficott was a little disappointed, but he didn't pay too much attention. He just smiled at Lily and comforted her: "I understand, it's okay, don't feel sorry, it seems that God doesn't want me to So smooth.”

Purficott's words made Lily feel more and more guilty, feeling that she had failed to help Purficott. She felt very regretful at this time. Why hadn't she seen the kind of black water that could be ignited? If you have seen it, you can help the lord now!
Even if you have never seen black water, anything else that can ignite is good!

Something else to light up! Lily suddenly remembered something, so she hurriedly asked Purficott: "Lord, I have never seen black water that can be ignited, but can other things that can be ignited be used?"

"Other things that can be ignited? What are they?" Purficott became interested. There are many things that can be ignited. If there is no oil, it would be good to discover other things.

"It's a kind of gas that comes out of the ground!" Lily organized her words, and then explained to Purficott: "There is a place called Death Valley in the north, and there has always been a gas there. This is a terrible poisonous gas. Any animal will die soon if it breaks in. If a person goes in, it will turn blue and die. That's why it is called Death Valley.

Around Death Valley, you will sometimes encounter cracks in the ground. Those cracks will emit gas that smells like rotten eggs. If you use fire to ignite them, you can ignite them. "
