Through this period of understanding, Lu Wan and Feng Shijie and others found that these Maya people had some very interesting customs, such as they would make some wood or stone into circles, and then use them to record writing, but they did not know how to make these round wood into wheels, let alone what a car was.

In addition, these Mayans have very high attainments in arithmetic and astronomy, especially the greedy old priest, his attainments in astronomy and arithmetic are so high that even Feng Shijie, who is a surveyor, is very surprised, so Feng Shijie also personally visited the old priest, and made some academic exchanges with the other party under the translation of Feng Kata, and both sides were secretly surprised.

However, what surprised Lu Wan the most was that these Mayans were obviously able to smelt metal, for example, in the sacrificial temples, there were many gold and bronze vessels, but they forbade the use of metal for practical purposes, because in their opinion, metal can make weapons, and weapons are accomplices in war, so in order to avoid war, each temple forbade the practical use of metal. And it was this taboo that almost caused a clash between the fleet and Mansa City.

The reason for the incident is actually very simple, Zito, the son of the lord of Mansa City, is a samurai, and it is said that he is also the first warrior of Mansa City, and he once killed a jaguar with a spear, and has a high prestige in Mansa City.

Zito also welcomed Lu Wan's arrival, otherwise he would not let his wife sleep for Lu Wan, but as a samurai, he was also very interested in the force of the fleet, so he discussed with the people of the fleet, and everyone tried it, and the over-energetic guys in the fleet naturally couldn't ask for it.

And so it was. A friendship contest between the fleet and the city of Mansa began, with ten men from each side. Then they fight in pairs, but because it's a friendly competition. So they were all unarmed, and they didn't use any weapons.

Most of the crew members of the fleet are from the slave hunting team, don't look at them usually smiling and not in shape, but in fact, most of them are outlaws who lick blood with knives and heads, and they have a lot of lives in their hands, so no matter what the martial arts are, the murderous aura on their bodies alone is not comparable to these Mayans who only know how to hunt. In addition, the ten people who appeared on the stage were all selected martial arts masters, so this competition had a result from the beginning.

There were no surprises, and the first nine fights all ended in defeat for the Mayan samurai. This made Zito shocked and a little annoyed in his heart, so in the last game he went out in person, and his opponent was Erhanzi, who only had one eye left.

Erhanzi was born in Orion, and he learned martial arts with his father since he was a child, plus he has been fighting in the slave hunting team in the past few years, and countless natives have died under him, and his personal force is also one of the best in the fleet, so in the last game, he played against Zito, the first warrior of Mansa City.

Both men knew that the other was a very strong opponent. Therefore, all the fights were fought with all their strength, Zituo was tall and strong, and he was rampage during the fight, and he looked very brave. And Erhanzi knew that he couldn't compare to his opponent in terms of strength, so he didn't fight hard with Zituo from the beginning, but just used ingenuity to maneuver with the other party. When Zito's first wave of attacks ran out, Erhanzi showed his figure. Unleash a stormy attack.

Although Zito was powerful, he did not experience such a continuous attack. Soon it couldn't be blocked, and finally the valve was punched by Erhanzi in the ribs, and as a result, he couldn't breathe when he bent down at that time, and naturally lost his ability to resist.

Although this contest ended in the complete defeat of Mansa City, Zito was not unconvinced, his thinking is very simple, the other party can defeat him, it means that people are stronger than him, and he is a person who admires the strong very much, so he has become very good friends with Erhanzi and others.

Originally, this matter should have ended here, but the blame is that the second man is too righteous, and he saw that Zituo was very suitable for his own temperament, so he gave the other party a dagger he carried with him, this dagger was a reward given to him by his slave catching team, I heard that it was ordered from the ordnance factory under the Taiwan Iron and Steel Plant, all steel structure, extremely sharp, Zito naturally couldn't put it down after seeing it, and accepted it on the spot.

Erhanzi is a rough man, he doesn't know the taboos of the Mayans at all, and the only metals the Mayans know are gold and copper, and they have never even seen iron, let alone steel, so Zito doesn't know that the dagger he accepts is metal.

However, after Zito got the dagger, he naturally showed off everywhere in the city, and the black stone weapon of the warrior in the city was not vulnerable at all in front of this dagger, and finally this matter also knew how, and it reached the ears of the old priest, as a result, this guy who had been at odds with Zito's father and son compared the material of the dagger with the gold and copper in the temple after seeing the dagger, and the result was easy to find that although the color of the dagger was different, it was also a kind of metal.

As a result, this discovery made the old priest very excited, and united the nobles in the city who supported him, and wanted to arrest Zito and ask him for the crime. The city lord of Mansa was naturally unwilling, so the relationship between the two major forces in the city deteriorated again, and in the end it almost caused internal strife, but later, when both sides knew that the dagger was given to Zito by the people of the fleet, they couldn't help but point the finger at the fleet.

"Captain, why don't we send troops to destroy this bullshit Mansa City, we gave them so many benefits before, but now because of a dagger, we actually want us to hand over the second son to ask for guilt, how can there be such a reason in this world?" In the captain's room of the Americas One, the captain of another ship shouted loudly.

Before, Mansa City sent people to explain the current situation in the city, and also pointed out that all this was caused by Erhanzi, so he hoped that the fleet would hand over Erhanzi and be disposed of by the temple, which naturally caused the anger of all the crew, if it wasn't for Lu Wan to stop him, it is estimated that these people would have slaughtered the messenger on the spot, and then destroyed Mansa City.

"Erhanzi must not be handed over, as far as I know, these Mayan blood sacrifice traditions, if Erhanzi is handed over, they will definitely be sacrificed to the gods by the temple." Liu Kata also spoke at this time.

"Yes, these Mayans are also fearful and immoral, it seems that if they don't give them a little power, they really don't know who is the boss of this world?" Feng Shijie also said viciously, there is no one here who is good, even Feng Shijie, who graduated from the Navigation Academy, is also murderous without blinking, during this time, in order to establish a good relationship with Mansa City, they have put a lot of effort into it, and now the other party has to inch in, which naturally makes Feng Shijie and others unbearable.

Lu Wan frowned and was silent, he would definitely not hand over the handover, otherwise the people in the entire fleet would not agree. However, if Mansa is really destroyed, then not only will all the previous efforts be in vain, but also they will no longer be able to find out the news of the American continent through Mansa City, and even the few remaining plants in the atlas will not be able to be collected, which is a huge loss.

Just when Lu Wan was thinking about whether he could find a solution to both worlds, suddenly a crew member reported that Mansa City had sent a messenger again, which made everyone present stunned, and they didn't understand what the other party was asking for?

However, when the envoy sent from the city came in this time, Lu Wan and the others were stunned, because this time the envoy turned out to be Zituo. I saw that after Zituo came in, he first saluted Lu Wan, and then told his intention.

It turned out that Zituo's life was not easy during this time, but because his father was protecting him, the old priest had no way to take him. In addition, according to what he said, the city lord of Mansa actually didn't blame the fleet, but because he was persecuted by the old priest, he had to behave, and he didn't really plan to do anything to the people in the fleet. However, just now, the old priest sent an envoy to the ship without the consent of the Mansa City Lord, which made the Mansa City Lord worried about causing a misunderstanding between the fleet and Mansa City, so he sent Zito over, in addition to explaining the situation, he also wanted to discuss a solution with the fleet.

After listening to Zito's narration, Lu Wan and the others all had their eyes lit up, only to see Lu Wan glance at Zito meaningfully, and then asked, "I don't know how the Mansa City Lord wants to solve this matter?" If we can think of a solution that is beneficial to both of us, then we will be more than willing to help. ”

Although Zito is a samurai, he can command the armed forces of Mansa City, and naturally he will not be a stupid person, but he is relatively straightforward and can say whatever he wants, so after hearing Liu Kata's translation, he immediately spoke: "Actually, it is very simple to solve this matter, our father and son have long looked at the old sacrifice unpleasantly, but there are many nobles who support him, although I am in charge of the armed forces in the city, but at the same time I am controlled by other nobles, if I force my move, it may cause a split in the power of the city, so we need the help of the fleet!" ”

Lu Wan's eyes narrowed after hearing this, and his tone was a little cold: "I don't know what you need our help with?" ”

"It's very simple, the forces in my hands are insufficient, so I need the fleet to send some people to help, I know that the crew's combat power is very strong, and we can't resist it at all, so I only need the fleet to send half of the strength, and I am sure to uproot the power of the old sacrifice, and then arrange my own people to become the new sacrifice, and then the entire Mansa City will be controlled by us." Zito finally spoke.

However, after hearing this, Lu Wan said indifferently: "It sounds good, but we have done so much, but we don't seem to have gained any benefits, this kind of thing will not be done by anyone." ”

Zito was stunned when he heard this, and said with some surprise: "How can you not be beneficial?" Once we have mastered Mansa City, we will be able to maintain friendly relations with the fleet for a long time, and we can do our best to help you with whatever you need, isn't that enough? ”

"Not enough, of course not enough!" At this moment, Liu Kata, who had been next to him, suddenly said unexpectedly. It is said that Lu Wan is now negotiating conditions with Zituo, and with Liu Kata's identity, it seems that he should not interject, right? (To be continued......)
