《Rise of America 1620》Chapter 7: It is Good to Try
Advertisement
The old matriarch was lying on a wooden bed in the center, with thick animal furs underneath.
Several Indian women, under the instruction of a shaman dressed like a peacock, kept circling around the old patriarch shaking all over.
After about five or six circles, these Indian women will stretch their arms flat and began to swing back and forth in front of the old patriarch lying flat.
William, this is a kind of Indian tribal "witchcraft", that is used to get rid of the disease.
If someone had used this method on William, William would have used his old fist to deal with it. But in 1620, the Indians on the American continent were very interested in witchcraft.
The shaman was chanting something that even the tribesmen couldn't understand, raising his hands and stamping his feet, his voice rising and falling with the movements.
"This is just a big dance, we also have this kind of thing in Northeast China, it's much more interesting than what this wizard is doing.
The wizard's performance, a little naive Steven raised his hand and touched his nose, said in a small voice.
"The wizard is a very good person.
The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.
Steven laughed and shut his mouth, but from his expression, he did not see the wizard's performance.
William's mind wondered, this time and space trader within the genetic man, even jumping God are ah.
This is also a bit too amazing.
Artido did not notice the small movements of William's four people, his gaze has been placed on the father who has begun some coma, not a moment away.
His father is the leader of the tribe, if something goes wrong he can continue to be the leader of his father, but he will not curse his father because of this relationship.
He knew very well that he was too young.
He was worried that if something happened to his father, he wouldn't be able to carry on the power of the tribe.
At the same time, there are also opponents in the tribe that he, Artido, may not be able to subdue.
Across from Artido, a stout, bald man with a string of bone necklaces around his neck sat there with a grim gaze.
His name is "Black Bear" and he is the bravest warrior of the tribe. Many of the tribe's young people worship him as an idol.
The black bear, often because of some of the philosophy of the issue, is often the father of the conflict.
The good thing is that the father's prestige is very high, which can suppress the black bear.

But if the father is no longer there, the black bear is likely to make trouble ah.
Artido's concern is not unreasonable, because the black bear's popularity is also not.
So without his father's suppression, Black Bear has become the new chief, so where will he take the tribe?
Artido, Black Bear has never been a big fan of the "white skins", he thinks they are all bad guys. He did not agree to deal with the white skins, and even led the warriors of the tribe to war with the white skins.
Unfortunately, Black Bear's idea was completely rejected by his father.
Because of his father's prestige, the young people of the clan were able to suppress this idea.
However, Black Bear's idea was not without a market in the clan.
If William knew what Black Bear was thinking and what he wanted to do, he would have applauded it.
William is very happy to see the emergence of an angry Indian.
In fact, Artido also understands the "black bear", who was killed by the "white skin". It's no wonder he hates the White Walkers so much, it's the revenge of killing his son.
His daughter was also injured in the fall when she strayed into the defensive zone of the white skins' camp and was unable to understand their warnings of the weapons that would make a noise.
Now his little girl, the wound has completely ulcerated, if not treated, it may not be able to save the leg.
The leg will not be saved or a small thing, the most worrying thing is that the lovely Emma will die.
The "black bears" are the two children who are now dead. If his daughter dies again, he will really go crazy.
Now that his father is in such a situation, there is no guarantee that "Black Bear" will not become the chief of the clan after his father's death and take the clan to take revenge.
In fact, Artido understands the Black Bears very well, but as Father said, the White Skins' weapons are really powerful. Moreover, they live behind a wooden fence, which the Mohican warriors will have to pay a lot of money to conquer.
Then, after conquering the stronghold of the "white skins", the Mohicans themselves would suffer a lot of casualties. The next step is not guaranteed to cause some rival tribes to spy, so sometimes personal revenge is more important than the tribe.
It is also because of his father's consideration that Artido is so worried.
Unfortunately, "Black Bear" has been blinded by hatred, he simply does not care so much.
Now he is waiting, waiting for his father to breathe ......

For the Mohican tribe in some things, William can not care at all, because it has nothing to do with him.
At this time William stole a glance at the old patriarch lying in the center, his eyes are full of blood, while his lips are a little blue.
He did not this old chief of the Mohican tribe, in the end, is a disease.
At this moment, the Indian women around the old chief picked up some plants from the ground and began to light them. Those plants emitted thick white smoke and smoked the old chief's body.
The man is dying, and you still use smoke! This is not slow enough to die ah.
William was spitting in his mind.
"Artido, what is your father's disease, why don't you tell me about it? I have medicine here that may be able to cure your father.
William looked at these guys in the "life", and finally could not help but pull Artido, to whisper to him.
The reason why William said so is that he can buy penicillin on the "time and space trader" reliance on it.
In his opinion, this old matriarch may be sick in the winter, is the result of a heavy cold is not treated, the body has the cause of inflammation.
Or a wound on the body inflammation, resulting in such a situation in leather now.
If he is right, he can also make good karma.
Even if the blindfold is not correct, it does not matter, leave it to the shaman.
Although the Indians of this era are very barbaric, as long as they identify you are theirs, then they even because of you and other tribes to war is also not hesitant.
This is also the Indians a very admirable point for William.
Then again, William also took into account another problem, that is, if this is really the New York area. Then it was important for him to have a good relationship with the Mohican tribe.
With the friendship of the outer Mohican tribe, he could develop slowly on the New York waterfront.
Before following Artido back to the tribe, he had heard from Artido that the Mohican tribe was the largest tribe in the area, with a population of 13,000.
For William now, the Mohican tribe is a super "thick leg", if he does not hug that is brain-damaged.
A tribe of 13,000 people, in this area, is the absolute boss.
The surrounding small Indian tribes, that does not dare to offend them. At the same time, the British are also very close to the Mohegan tribe, which half dare not neglect.
Of course, William also, the British pulling the Mohican tribe is not good intentions, they just let the Mohican tribe make the first bird, consume their strength.
For the development of the Mohican tribe, William or some of them.
More than a hundred years later, a large Mohican tribe, in the British and French Seven Years War when the extinction.
But no matter what, that was more than a hundred years later, now the Mohican tribe is the rightful leader of this area.
"My father's body was hot and cold the other day, and after a few days of hard work, he became like this, occasionally talking nonsense at night. Artido replied in a whisper, and then his eyes flashed, "You have medicine in your hand? The actual fact is that you are a shaman of your tribe, not to skip words.
The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
Well, they are hot and cold, and they talk nonsense at night.
After listening to Artido's answer, William's heart understood a lot better.
According to Artido, this was a case of a bad cold that had not been treated properly.
God help me!
William shouted in his heart.
"My tribe's chief and shaman are both my father, so I learned this knowledge from my father. William thought up a set of words and looked at Artido seriously and said to him. "Your father's disease, which has also been seen in our tribe, needs to be treated as soon as possible or it will kill him.
A bad cold can lead to complications, and in serious cases, death, of course.
If Artido's father really had a bad cold that caused inflammation, then penicillin would really be able to treat it.
For this, William is very confident.
Penicillin in the 21st century, if it can not save an Indian matriarch who had a bad cold in 1620, it is really an international joke.
Of course, unless William's luck is really bad, this Artido's father is allergic to penicillin ...... then there is really nothing that can be done.
"Artido, if you and I, let me treat then I guarantee that your father will recover!
After a general judgment, William was very serious with Artido making a promise.
Artido pursed his lips, he should not this outsider.
But when his eyes swept over the wizard, who looked a little darker, with a sad glow in his eyes, he made a decision in his mind.
From the sorcerer's point of view, the father was looking like he was going to die.
Now let the outsider try.

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/

Blood & Noodles
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] As they always have, humanity hunts the gods roaming the world, craving the supernatural power that flows within their veins. Even a drop is zealously guarded, passed from master to student through the ages. It is with this stolen power that the Blooded - those with divine blood coursing through them - grasp beyond mortality and achieve prestige, power, and greatness. Yet, for every fraction of power gained, thousands perish, slain by the gods' supernatural prowess. But everything is beginning to change. Eight years ago, for the first time in human memory, a god was felled. Part-time chef and full-time nuisance Orvi wants nothing to do with gods. Living in a derelict city, his only concerns are ensuring his adopted family's restaurant is prosperous and how to best beat the neighbourhood boys in a fight. If he's lucky, he might even snag a date with the farmer's daughter at the market. But even though he cares nothing for the gods or their blood, the world won't leave him alone forever. Because to reach godhood, one must first leave their humanity behind. *** The first arc of Blood & Noodles follows the adolescent Orvi as he attempts to navigate his rapidly changing home and - by his own definition - protect his family. The story is told almost entirely in the first-person, from the perspective of a teenager who isn't always the sharpest tool in the shed. There are tragic elements, especially in the current arc. It's character-focused and driven, though the protagonist's shenanigans are backdropped by a world operating independently from him. Orvi's a generally light-hearted character, and though the story veers into darker territory, I also want it to be able to make readers smile. Action sequences, despite the fantastical elements, are meant to be grounded and clearly-conveyed; Orvi is a brawler, not a warrior. I'm trying to write a story that's enjoyable to read and flows nicely, mainly because it's more fun to write. I'm also trying to improve my writing, so any feedback, whether positive or negative, is welcome!
