Extraordinary Sailing

"Boss, something happened!"

A half-bare upper body, with a buckskin robe and horn around his waist, an indigenous young man who did not carry a musket but a short fir bow rushed in through the door.

"what happened?"

Seeing the clansmen running in in a panic, the leader stood up and asked with a sullen face, no longer caring about the presence of these guests.

"You should come and see for yourself!"

Glancing at the guests in the longhouse, the young man was a little embarrassed to say, the situation this time is really weird.

"Sorry, guests! I have something to deal with first, and we'll talk about it when I get back."

Speaking of which, Apsova has hurried out of the longhouse with the young man who came to report, followed by the brown bear warrior named Uwakaza who is as strong as a mountain.

Although Aiwen and the others couldn't understand the native language, they knew that something unexpected must have happened after seeing the performance of these people.

"Mr. Director? Why don't we follow up and have a look?"

Necado, who has dealt with this tribe all the year round, can actually understand a part of Yucatan, especially the word "hunting team", which made him startled all of a sudden.

The fur trade does not require land occupation, and is one of the few businesses that allows colonists and natives to coexist peacefully.

A large part of my fur business will fall on them. If there is a problem with the tribal hunting team, even if it is only a part of the problem, it will inevitably affect the supply of fur, and then affect their own performance and company income!

Hearing Aiwen's proposal, Necardo immediately led Aiwen and the others to get up and follow them out without much hesitation.

Tread Tread

They hurried all the way, and followed Necado across the road without being affected, and were still next to the people on both sides who were trading goods, until they reached the gate of the camp.

I also saw the returning hunting team, the "hunting team" with only two people returning.

Smell the familiar smell of blood.

Ivan and Milan glanced at each other, and at the same time felt that things were unusual.

"How did they come back? When did they come back?"

Staring at the two tribesmen who fell on the ground, the tribal leader Apsova looked gloomy and asked the shirtless young man on the side in a low voice.

"Just now, both of them walked back by themselves, and the few people who were on guard with me today saw it.

After the accident, there was no delay at all, and I will notify you as soon as possible.

From the time they came back by themselves to the time they fell at the door, no one touched them. "

The young man who is in charge of today's sentry post is only the first to discover, and he doesn't know much more than others, and he has already poured out everything he knows in a few words.

Moving a little closer, Aiwen carefully observed the two indigenous youths who had fallen to the ground, or the two corpses that had died out for a long time.

There is nothing else, but this is the first time Ivan has seen this paradoxical way of death.

His face was extremely pale, but he carried a satisfied smile as if offering to God.

The bloody animal skin pants are still tied around the waist, but the clothes on the upper body and all the skin below the neck have disappeared!

It can be confirmed that the two of them have indeed walked all the way back. From here, you can still vaguely see the blood and footprints they spilled on the ground in the forest.

But before walking back to camp, their blood was clearly almost drained

What is it that supports them to come back here?

"There seems to be something under their bodies?"

The natives who were watching were about to step forward, but they were grabbed by the thin leader.

"do not touch!"

Then the leader personally brought a long pole, and carefully stirred the bodies of the two who fell to the ground.

hiss

"It's their own skin?!"

Amidst the sound of gasping for air, Ivan also saw the corpse turn over, revealing what they were pressing under the body.

That was the original skin on their respective bodies, bloody with yellowish fat and connective tissue, which made the "similar" including Ivan feel extremely uncomfortable.

But this kind of scene is extremely terrifying in the eyes of ordinary people.

But in the eyes of veteran hunters, they can tell that this is a very skilled skinning technique, and it will not be possible to master it with hundreds of prey after a few years of practice.

And judging from the fact that they can walk back by themselves strangely in this state, among the very experienced hunters here, it is obvious that the two deceased themselves cannot be ruled out!

"There's something else!"

The leader used a wooden pole to pry open their skins, and there was another thing wrapped inside.

Aiwen and the others who just came to the New World may not recognize him, but the people here, including Necado, are very familiar with it.

Because those are two skins that belonged to a beaver!

How could they not recognize it?

Because beaver skin is the most important member of the New World fur trade.

There is even such a saying in the countries of the Old World: "Owning a beaver fur product is a proof of a man or a woman's status in high society!"

Even many royal families once issued an edict that beaver skins can only be used exclusively by the royal family.

Even now, in many countries, beaver fur hats are used as a symbol of social status.

In addition, there is no such thing as an umbrella in the countries of the Old World.

A felt hat made of water-resistant beaver skin is not easy to deform. It is not only a status symbol, but also a rain gear.

The social atmosphere has gradually formed, and now every upper-class person above the middle class is proud to own a beaver skin product.

And if you observe carefully, you will find that the two beaver skins wrapped in human skin are exactly the same in appearance, without even a trace of blood stains, they can be called flawless top-quality fur!

Even surrounded by such horrific scenes.

Among the natives in the crowd who have been dealing with fur all day long, some people can't help but exclaim:

"Ah! This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful fur. It's so beautiful, so beautiful!"

"Yes, I have been dealing with beaver skins for 20 years, but I have never had such quality. Are there any treasures in our hunting grounds?"

""

Even the director, who saw all this, resisted the fear of the bloody scene, stepped forward slightly, and muttered in his mouth: "If you can make such a beaver skin into a gorgeous fur, I will offer it to you." For Her Majesty, even returning to the mainland to serve as a senior executive of the company is not a dream, is it?"

Without noticing the reaction of the people next to them, the attention of the two wizards, Milan and Ivan, had already focused on the two "perfect" beaver skins.

"Ewen, the tribal leader's handling is correct.

Two beaver skins with a terrible curse on them! If you touch it directly with your hands, something bad will happen.

Perhaps the strange way of death of these two aborigines came from this. "

Through the spiritual connection, Milan quietly told Ivan his views.

Seeing the truth through the fog is Milan's specialty. The moment he saw the two beaver skins, his [Spiritual Detection] and [Spiritual Warning] had already given him very clear signals.

And he felt that the tribal leader who seemed ordinary and even a little skinny might not be an ordinary person either.

This way of dealing with "weirdness" cannot be explained clearly with caution alone, at least it should be an apprentice-level spellcaster who has opened up spiritual vision or has similar abilities!

"Human and beaver skins? Walking dead? Is this a warning from some unknown presence?"

After the initial inspection of the bodies of the two deceased, Apsova's face was solemn, and he had guessed that there might be something wrong with the hunting grounds that produced important materials such as beaver skin.

In particular, this kind of weird change seemed inexplicably familiar.

Apsova, who has lived in this land for many years, vaguely recalled a strange legend circulated among the Atrian hunters, and

"There were five people who went to that hunting ground today, and now there are two people here, and where are the other three people?

Maybe they might not be dead yet.

Get ready, Uwakaza, you're going to the Coldwater Reach with me. "

The lean leader gave instructions to the "Brown Bear Warrior" beside him, and then turned to Necado, who had approached by surprise, and said:

"Sorry friends, I can't entertain you anymore. As you can see, I need to confirm the safety of other clansmen.

I may have a general idea of ​​the root cause of the matter, and we will take care of the rest, which should not affect our subsequent transactions. "

But he had just finished speaking.

Nicardo, who seemed to be pampered and pampered, was uncharacteristically, very resolutely said:

"For the sake of our friendship, I will go with you! The guards I brought are all equipped with the most advanced weapons, and should be able to help."

"Huh?"

Ai Wen narrowed his eyes slightly, and keenly noticed that the director's state was wrong. When did this kind of civilian administrator have such courage? Especially faced with this kind of strange event that reveals evil.

But he made no objection.

Because from these two "beaver skins", Aiwen vaguely sensed the smell of some kind of soul.

Although there may be certain dangers, his own spirituality does not have a strong warning, at least it is far from the strong reaction when he heard the horror legends in the "Fox, Badger and Mead Tavern".

If you run away when encountering strange things, your own "psychic potion" and wizard advancement will be really far away.

What's more, it is much better to have the leader of the tribe, the local snake, than go deep into the inland to search for those strange existences.

Hearing the director's volunteering, he hesitated for a moment, and Apsova agreed to come down. Of course, the more reinforcements, the better.

Just one word to my own people:

"No one is allowed to touch them until we get back."

Then he rushed out of the tribe first with a colorful Atrian tambourine on his back and a white oak cane.

behind the leader.

"Brown Bear Warrior" Uwakaza, Director Necardo, and Ivan, the natives with a total of ten people each accounting for half, and the Phalatis guards followed in turn.

The time at this time is 4:15 p.m. New World time
