Chapter 148: New Policies

Leva and Eric had just buried a sack filled with materials for making gunpowder under a tree, quite far from the Redtooth tribe.

"But, like I said, is this any good?" Leva scratched her head. "There may be traces of that material on our clothes, you know. My ex-tribe has a mineral detector that's more skilled than I am. He can feel the material even if it's just a little bit."

"Well, we have to give a reason," Eric answered while clapping his hands. He then proposes a plan and asks Leva to cooperate with him.

Well, I think Eric's plan makes a lot of sense.

After Leva agreed, the two of them continued on their way. Everything gets faster with the fast-forward feature. In just seconds, they had arrived in front of the high fence of the Redtooth tribe.

One of the guards, a man with a bald head and holding a spear, approached my two colonists. He raised an eyebrow when he saw Leva.

"Good afternoon, Pac," Leva called out the guard's name with a smile. But that smile looks very forced. "We just wanted to buy things inside."

"Hmmm... Now you have your manners, huh?" The man named Pac chuckled sarcastically. "Well, sorry, I can't just let you guys in right away...."

The man choked, looked confused, then said again. "Okay, you can come in."

It must be because of Red's orders. She is still kind to my colonists after what I did to her tribe. I was ready to persuade her while Sena's psychic powers were active.

Pac knocked on the gate with a tune. There was the sound of a large latch being moved, and the large door swung open.

Leva narrowed her eyes when she saw a street with bricks-walled houses on either side. Something must have hit her heart to meet the location that must be familiar to her.

"But, you two have to meet Tosa first as the leader of the tribe," Pac said, gesturing for them to follow him.

"Huh?" Leva frowned, starting to walk with Eric. "Is it okay for you to call him by that name? He's already the leader of Redtooth, right?"

Pac laughed again. "Tosa is one hundred percent different from Suja. Tosa does lead us, but he tries to put himself on a par with the others. That way, the residents respect him more."

Looking at Tosa's track record, I'm sure he did it just to get the sympathy of the people of Redtooth.

Eric looked left and right. "It's very quiet in here."

The existing houses do look empty. People are also nowhere to be seen. There was only the faint sound of a crowd in the distance.

As time went on, the crowd's voice grew louder and louder. And what I saw next was entirely beyond my wildest imagination.

We arrived at area I once recognized as an empty prairie before Redtooth's prison. People gathered there, around two stages, cheering and dancing.

My two colonists were speechless to see what was on the stages. One stage is occupied by a woman who uses a wooden stick that is stuck down as a prop for dancing.

The dancer twirled agilely using the stick, moving erotically to the rhythm of a band consisting of drummers, flute blowers, and harp users. Yes, she is very similar to pole dancers in the real world. It's just that she doesn't wear clothes at all.

As for the other stage, I couldn't stand to see it. The stage was the same as the previous stage, but the dancer was a pretty muscular man, also completely naked.

The people who gathered at each stage were divided between the two genders. The women gathered on the male dancer's stage and vice versa. Only a few of the opposite gender joined each group.

At least, I haven't seen a child yet. But .....

"What the fuck happened while I was gone?" Leva's face looked more annoyed than shocked or something.

"Tosa proposed this festival. In gratitude for our freedom, it also builds more friendship with the Acornhull tribe." Pac walked again to a wooden tribune where only a few people sat. "You guys are fortunate to come here when this festival is being held."

After looking around, I did find some people wearing clothes that were more primitive than the Redtooth residents.

My colonists keep following Pac. And after almost reaching the tribune, we could see Tosa sitting there, enjoying the show while drinking from a clay bottle. His thigh was occupied by a woman who was quite attractive. The woman with long black hair was also wearing the clothes of the inhabitants of Acornhull.

Leva glared at the new tribe leader. The veins on her neck bulged. Her breath also started to get out of control.

"I know that you had a history with him," Eric whispered to the red-haired woman. "But remember, we have a mission here. Don't let your anger ruin our mission."

Leva closed her eyes, then took a deep breath. In no time, the expression on her face returned to normal.

Your progress has been remarkable, Leva.

"Wait here." Pac gave the order, then went up to the tribune to meet Tosa. After talking to the tribe leader for a while, Pac returned to my colonists.

"Tosa hasn't been able to meet you guys because today's event isn't over yet." The bald man explained. "You can enjoy this show or wait in the palace."

My two colonists looked at each other for a moment but didn't immediately answer. I have to step in to make a decision. "It's up to you two where to go."

Well, I'm definitely going to enjoy this show. However, I don't need to force my colonists.

Leva shrugged. "I want to visit the cemetery first."

"Tosa also said that if you want to visit a place, you are free to do so," Pac answered in a disappointed tone. "As long as I keep an eye on you two, and you two don't go where you're forbidden."

Leva's lips formed a wide grin. "Actually, you still want to be here, don't you, Pac? You keep guarding the gates, so you can't enjoy all this. You were already thrilled when there was the possibility of us staying in this event."

"Shut up." Pac snorted and started walking again.

Before following Pac, Leva looked at Tosa. While sipping his drink, the tribe leader stared back at the red-haired woman.
