Chapter 695 - 694, Arrangement_1
Upon hearing that Chief Bertel had killed many, many orcs in Eneru Forest, Bowman and Hei Tu felt their hearts skip a beat, and a heaviness set in.
If it were their own tribe, they would certainly not award territory to a tribe that had once killed their fellow tribesmen.
Unexpectedly, Shaman Ji Nuan surprised them with this generous act. The two beasts were very moved. Young Bowman’s eyes even turned a bit red.
Taking out a piece of sheep beast skin, he revealed numerous lines that the beasts couldn’t understand. Ji Nuan studied the skin for a while before pointing to a particular spot: "Look here."
Ji Nuan pointed at an oval-shaped figure with a small twig.
"This used to be the territory of a medium-sized tribe, but due to a beast wave that occurred during the last winter, none of the tribe members are left. We will now divide this territory among you."
Bowman and Hei Tu could not understand the circles and lines drawn on the small piece of beast skin. Looking at the place, which was smaller than their own palm size, their faces instantly turned bitter: "Shaman Ji Nuan, this territory is too small. It’s not even as big as our palm."
Surprised, Ji Nuan realized that Bowman and Hei Tu, being of a different tribe, couldn’t understand his map. He simply smiled and moved the twig to an irregular figure next to the oval.
"Look, this is our tribe’s territory." The irregular shape was three times as large as the small oval he had shown them before.
He continued: "This is the map I drew. All the territories in Eneru Forest are scaled down and put on this beast skin. But the actual size of these territories is very, very large."
Though they still didn’t quite understand, they knew the territory allotted to their tribe wasn’t the small spot on the beast skin, and they felt relieved.
After all, the huge territory of the Watson Tribe was also depicted as a size of an orc’s arm on that so-called map.
Having divided the territory, the expression on Ji Nuan’s face turned serious: "What Bertel did in Eneru Forest cannot be changed. The Watson Tribe was protected by city walls and no tribesman was killed, but a lot of members of the Dashi Tribe and the Gray Bear Tribe have perished."
While the orcs that Bertel brought with him have all been killed, you are still members of the Gru Tribe. It’s impossible not to hold a grudge, but I do hope you can get along well with the local tribes."
Hei Tu chuckled bitterly: "Shaman Ji Nuan, the problem is that while we are willing to get along with the local tribes, due to Chief Bertel’s actions, they may not accept us."
Ji Nuan nodded. It was inevitable. There is, after all, a saying in China about the son paying for the father’s debt.
"In that case, once you’re settled in your new territory, bring some tributes and find me. I will take you to meet the leaders of the two tribes. You should sincerely apologize to them and seek their forgiveness. I will also try to speak up for you," Ji Nuan decided after some consideration.
The two beasts were overjoyed: "Thank you so much, Shaman Ji Nuan."
Ji Nuan waved his hand: "I’m only helping you because you two seem decent enough. But if you turn into greedy and ferocious beasts like Bertel, I won’t hesitate to lead the others in eradicating your tribe."
