The Ruler of the Two Continents
CHAPTER 69 - THE ABYEE TRIBE

“ Gift?.but I do not need a gift “ said the General.

“ But this is a form of public love to the noble King “ replied the royal official.

“ Well, alright.” muttered the General a little forced.

That day the General who wanted to discuss the war became hampered because of the celebration.

From the outside unceasingly came various kinds of gifts, most of which sent gifts were the nobles, from starting silk embroidered with gold, expensive fruits, luxurious fur coats, expensive food and others.

Almost half of the hall room was filled with various gifts.

The general looked at all the gifts as he stroked and grasped his beard, as if thinking of something.

The general ordered the royal officials, advisers and those in the room to take one of the gifts they liked from the many gifts that were buried in the hall room for their personal use, but they dare not take it.

" Pick this gift for you" the general told them to take it, but they threw eyes at each other.

" We dare not your majesty, this is for you, we have never received a gift from the King before."

" Huh..then would I like to bring this many gifts?" sahut General.

" I'm the King now, right? so I command you to take the prize from me! Take it!" exclaim the General to his subordinates.

Finally they took the one-on-one gift that was there with a feeling of wonder but joy that could not be hidden.

But the prize is still a lot and piled up even though it has been taken by all the officials of the government who are there.

Finally, the general called one of the royal officials, and asked him.

“ Are there more tribes or residents in the Black Continent who live poor? During the day of the visit to the Black Continent region there is only one tribe that looks poor and we have given help, but there are still some areas that I have not visited?“ ask General.

“ Em, yes it looks like there is a noble one. There are tribes that do not like to go out and interact with humans, Abyee tribes, they are tribes that like to hide. There are also Raw tribes, they are a mixed race of humans and raccoons, usually the Raw tribe does not like the arrival of foreigners. So they live poor because they only rely on life in its place “

“ Hmm, well then, can you please take care of these gifts to be distributed to the two tribes ” said the General to the top of the kingdom.

They all fell silent and looked at each other.

“ What's up? “ ask General.

“ Noble apologies, but no one dared to enter the territory of the tribe ” replied one of them.

“ Do they eat humans? “ ask Gardden.

“ Not so sir, but they very much do not accept the arrival of foreigners“ said one of the advisors there.

“ Alright, I'll meet them tomorrow, Gard please you arrange his departure and the person who can guide us “ General turned towards Gardden.

“ But what are we there for, don't we have to go south Gozan tomorrow ?” ask Gardden.

“ Do you have a solution to get rid of this many gifts Gard? “ Garden just shook his head.

Tomorrow morning, on a clear day. The general, Gardden and some soldiers and guides will be ready to go to the Abyee tribe, then they will continue their journey to the Raw tribe.

They walked through a pine forest and a rather small river. The motorcade of the caravan was also among them with all sorts of gifts inside.

“ Your Majesty, would it not be a pity if these items were given to poor citizens like them?.what better to use by your honor? “ ask one of the royal advisors who participated in the group.

“ I do not need such luxury objects “ replied the General on his horse.

The adviser who asked just now just kept quiet and sighed.

Eventually they arrived at the Abyee settlement. The place was very quiet and still natural. There are no houses visible.

“ Are you sure this is where the tribe is? but where are their houses? “ asks Gardden at the road sign.

“ Yes I am sure sir. Because they do not live at home, they made a large barn for shelter with “ explained the guide.

“ Alright, let's meet them “ the General said as he got off his horse.

The General's entourage entered Abyee territory carefully. Their gazes surrounded, and it was as if someone was watching them.

“ Hoy! We are coming well.we want to give you a gift! “ shouted Gardden made the birds above the trees burst out and scatter in the air.

Suddenly from between the trees appeared a group of humans with strange makeup, they smeared their cheeks and eels with something red.

They were all bare-chested, wearing long trousers like those from the skin of an animal that had been tucked away, and in his grasp was a rather long weapon looking like it was made of ivory or a bone whose tip was pointed, and the bottom of the handle is full of carvings.

“ Do you guys speak our language?!. Quit! we don't mean to hurt, we just want to talk and give you a gift! “ exclaim General to them.

But suddenly, from the side of the tree, the weapon was thrown by one of them towards the General.

Luckily the general was able to avoid it. But the entourage behind the General moved a little forward and tried to get their swords out of the scabbard, but the General swiftly hinted them not to do anything just yet.

“ Hold on!, don't rush out your swords! But stay alert“ General's orders.

Finally they pared out the sword, and they regained their composure in a watchful manner.

“ I want to talk to your boss! “ Excite the General.

Before long, there appeared a person with almost the same appearance as the person in the trees earlier, but the one who came this time was an old man with long waist-length hair in white.

The old man stepped closer to the general. He looked down at the general from top to bottom.

“ What do you want to come here?! “ asked the old man in an unfriendly tone.

“ We just want to talk, and we want to give gifts to residents here “ said General.

“ Who are you! We don't need a present! “ said the old man ketus.

“ I am Luzen, I am the new King of the South Gozan kingdom, and they are my friends“ said the General.

“ Heh!, I don't care if you're King or not. What do you want to talk about! “ ask the old man again.

“ We want to know the residents here “ General is still trying to be friendly with parents in front of him.

“ Can we talk? “ ask the General back.

“ Hmm.., alright! Follow me” the old man's orders.

They were taken to a large barn, with a round roof made of thickly arranged straw, as well as walls made of wood and twigs.

The Abyee people stood around the side of the room in the barn. While the old man was sitting down on the fur bed and a stretch of woven dried leaf midribs.

“ Sit! “ his orders to the General and his entourage.

They sat facing the old man. The old man lit a furnace filled with embers and took a dry leaf sheet that had been rolled up, then lit the tip, then he began to suck it.

On the smoke that was billowing out of the old man's mouth, he began to say somewhat calmly.

“ What do you want to know from the residents here?” ask the old man.

“ Are you a chieftain or leader here? “ General asked back.

“ Well, I am Abyee chieftain “ he replied.

“ I just want to know, why don't you guys like getting to know the outside world? “ ask the General back.

“ Because it's very dangerous outside. They're all greedy, they're out there just concerned about their own desires. We also will not be accepted if out and mingle with them “ the voice of the old man was as furious.

“ But I think not all like that, indeed many of them are greedy, but of many evil humans, there are some who still have a conscience “ replied the General.

“ Well, but those who are good are usually weak, because they are overpowered by the bad guys whose standing is higher “

“ What if it is reversed? “ General's question left the old man confused.

“ Behind how do you mean?” ask the confused parents.

“ What if a strong good person rules a weak bad person? Are you and your people going to come out and mingle? “ ask General.

“ Where is there such a thing? “ the old man's eyebrows grinned.

“ If any how? “

“ Well, it could be that we're going out, but where can we find good people in power, all who have power must be their hearts overpowered by the devil “ replied the old man while sucking again a roll of dried leaves in his hand.

“ Old man, we are the rulers of the Black Continent. We have defeated the kingdom of East Gozan, and now I am the King in South Gozan. I'll guarantee your safety and that of your people if you're out there”.

“ So you're not just a King? “

The old man straightened his seat and his face turned spirited. The general answered suddenly the old man said again.

“ You..you are ‘Mohywe’!..Mohywe is reborn!…” suddenly the old man got up from his seat and shouted in excitement.
