Mage Joan

"Hakang, you don't need to hide it, to be honest." Slough ignored his brother's hint and stared at Joan coldly. "The threats that Hakang just mentioned do exist, but Compared to cultists, snow monsters and frost giants, your colonizers are the biggest threat to our clan!"

"You go from ship to ship from the old world to the new continent one by one, and on the first day you land on the land that does not belong to you, you are like a group of locusts. The Yashan Mountains have expanded, using violence and deception to drive our Asa people away from the wilderness where they lived for generations, enclosing fences and fences, and turning public land into private plantations!"

"Sorry……"

Apart from this sentence, Joan really didn't know what to say.

"You don't need to apologize!" Sluder said more and more excited. "It's your colonizers who teach us what is hypocrisy, what is good, and what is bad!" Even if I say 100,000 times, I'm sorry, I don't I believe you still have a little'conscience'!"

Slough snatched the empty bucket from Joan, and finally dropped a sentence and jumped out of the caravan.

"Wish you a happy Thanksgiving!"

Joan heard the sarcasm in Slud's words, but didn't understand what she meant by the last sentence, so she cast her eyes on Hakon for questioning.

"Brother Joan, don't be angry. In fact, it's not you who Slood hates, but the colonizer of Meadgard. She is in a bad mood today, mainly because today is a special day... Alas, you southerners again But'Thanksgiving', I'm afraid it's hard to understand what this means for the Assa people of our Walsong tribe."

"What does "Thanksgiving" mean?" Joan asked curiously.

"You see, today is November 28. According to the customs prevailing in the northern colonies, the fourth Thursday of November every year, the colonists always hold a grand celebration ceremony, and every family must make delicious dishes with turkey, pumpkin and corn. Dishes, the neighbors present gifts to each other."

Hakang replied with his head down, his face strange.

"Thanksgiving, does it mean to thank the harvest and celebrate the New Year?" Joanne asked.

"Oh... There is indeed such a saying now, but when the colonists first held this celebration more than two hundred years ago, it was to thank us the Asa!"

"In the first winter when the colonists landed on the east coast of Wilnoya, they had no houses, no food, and were hungry in the icy winds. If it were not for us, the Assa people extended their warm hands and sent them Go to the food emergency and help them build a wooden house against the cold winter and the beasts. All the colonists can't survive that harsh winter, let alone build the Meadgard colony."

Ha Kang sighed, and then said: "In the early years of the establishment of the Meadgard colony, our aborigines and the colonists from the old continent were friendly and it was with our help that the colonists were able to gain a foothold, Opening up wasteland for farming, hunting and fishing, the days are getting better."

"The colonists who first came to the New World are very grateful for the selfless help of our aborigines. After the autumn harvest every year, we always invite the aborigines to participate in grand celebrations and share wine and food, and then gradually form a fixed custom, which is called'thank you.' Festival'... Today's colonizers have to celebrate Thanksgiving every year at the end of autumn, but they never say that this festival is designed to thank their kindness, and it is ironic to think of us as benefactors."

"Now that the aborigines and the colonizers got along well and had deep feelings, why did they later turn into enemies?" Qiao An asked in surprise.

"Our Indigenous people and colonists from another continent have very different ideas, beliefs, customs, and customs, and it is inevitable that there will be contradictions. However, compared to these secondary factors, the most important contradiction is the different attitudes towards the land. Brother Joan, have you heard of the'Minute Land Purchase Event'?"

Joan nodded gently. He had seen the “Minute Land Purchase Event” described by Hakon in an old newspaper. The protagonist of this old story was Sir Peter Minute, the third governor of the Midgard Colony. "

"This man has made the most famous real estate sale in history as soon as he took office. He bought the entire Great Plain of Wiglide from the Asa tribe of the Walsunge tribe. The vast fertile fields in the square mile are only paid for some flashy glass beads and other equally cheap commodities, which together are not worth ten Golden Durga!

In the books and newspapers published in the colony, the deal has been touted as a shrewd example of businessmen, but Aboriginal people have a different view. After listening to Haakon’s account, Joan suddenly realized that the reason why this incredible deal could be reached was not because of the wisdom of Governor Minute or the ignorance of the indigenous people, as the colonial newspaper said, but because of the deal The two sides had a serious misunderstanding of the word "buy".

The colonists represented by Governor Minute, to "buy" this land, meant to pay to convert the land into their own private property, and no one else could touch it.

However, in the Assa people’s concept, there is no such thing as “land buying and selling” at all. These simple indigenous people think that land is a kind of public property. People can only use land but cannot own it, so they sell only The right to use the land is to allow the colonists to settle on the Great Plains of Wiglider.

It was not until Governor Minute issued an order to ask the Assa people to move out of his territory. These generations of indigenous people living on the Great Plains suddenly realized that the colonists called "buy", which means "exclusive", not what they always thought "Share".

Governor Minute and his colonists believed that this land sale and purchase transaction was reasonable and legal. From now on, the Great Plains of Vigilide will belong to the colonizers, and the Assa people shall not settle here; the Assa people think that they have been deceived. I was fooled and refused to admit that ambiguous and fraudulent transaction contract, and refused to leave the homeland where my ancestors lived for generations.

Since the two sides can't talk, they can only resort to force.

In this way, the friendly relationship between the aborigines and the colonizers quickly broke down, and an inalienable hatred for land struggle was formed.

The Asa people living in a wild area, no matter whether they are playing tricks or weapons, are no better than colonists from a civilized world.

In order to fight for the Great Plain of Wiglid, he made a huge sacrifice. Thousands of Asa warriors buried their bones in the battlefield, but eventually had to swallow the defeat. They were forced to abandon the vast land on the east coast and move to the desolate western settlement. Later, many indigenous settlements including "Shizhu Town" were established in the Fangshan District, and a northern Asa tribe alliance headed by the "Volsunge Family" was formed to jointly fight against the steps of the Meadgard colonists. Push forward.
