Chapitre 5: Cheat Key From Modern Times (1)

“Chief Spirit, avez-vous bien dormi?"

"Oui,” Kiwoo nodded. “Upright Tree slept well, trop?"

Tree’s full name was Upright Tree.

"Bien sûr! You must be a bit hungry. I’ll prepare food fast.”

"Oui,” Kiwoo smiled, “I’ll ask for your help today as well.”

Upright Tree’s figure left and went out to prepare food.

‘The temperature’s slowly rising, huh…’

Eight months had passed since he came to this place, experiencing both the fall and wintry season. Now the downpour of springtime was beginning to sprout.

Pendant ces temps, Kiwoo wholly mastered the language that was used in the river creek tribe. Because he learned the language too quickly, he spent most of his time here in the tribe.

‘It’s unique.’

There was no common name here.

The village aborigines were given based on their individual character traits. Mais avant ça, death rates were high… thus names weren’t given to them. He wasn’t sure if it was the same for other tribes, but here… having a name meant that you’d been blessed by the fortune of the spirits that you had survived long enough through adulthood.

Upright Tree had an upright behavior, just like a tree. It was his given name. A part lui, there were also Clear Lake, Black Mud, Broad Leaves, et plus. It was refreshing and unique culture and Kiwoo was glad to be able to experience the culture of this time long before Europeans colonized them to the point of extinction.

Comparé à eux, Kiwoo was called Wakan Tanka or Chief Spirit. It meant holy spirit … a supreme being. Yes… he had been relegated as a supreme being…

'Maintenant, let’s start properly.’

There were many facts and truths Kiwoo discovered up till now. He had been staying silent all throughout because mastering the language was his first and foremost priority. He needed to assimilate.

Maintenant, spring has come and it was time for him to make a move.

Among the many things he researched, the most significant result was finding out the exact, accurate location of the place. The place was located near the southern border of Alabama and bordered Georgia called the Chattahoochee River, the cotton belt in the lowland of the lower parts of North America. It was a plain that would become the main focus of raw cotton production in the future when slavery became a normal day-to-day sight.

But… how did Kiwoo know this?

Because he had a world map inside his bag.

Though due to the limited capacity his bag could carry, Kiwoo brought a big map with him full of volumes of information. In the map, essential resources of iron, coal, pétrole, and other natural resources were highlighted; its location and how the rivers were connected were shown in great detail.

Comparing the landscape and scenery with the map, Kiwoo was able to pinpoint his exact location.

‘The location isn’t bad.’

Non, it was excellent. Alabama was one of the few iron industrial zones in modern America. Big iron ores, coals, and limestones were distributed in the nearby area of Birmingham, the southernmost part of the Appalachian mountain.

‘For civilization’s development, those are necessary resources.’

de plus, the plains were suitable for food production.

It was enough for Kiwoo to kickstart the plan to advance the human race.

En y pensant, North America was blessed land of fertile soils and numerous natural resources. Many rivers flowed all throughout the North American continent as if they were the human body’s blood vessels. Grâce à ça, water traffic works could be developed quickly; and through the vast plains, food production would be effortless.

The United States indeed had its reasons why they were able to rise as a superpower in the modern world. But this came at a price at the expense of the aborigines and the backs of the many black men and women who had experienced a cruel fate.

But… knowing the future and how it would develop and its future demise, Kiwoo was willing to take risks to further advance and develop the human race to avoid future annihilation.

Et pour faire ça, Kiwoo would change the trajectory of the American roots that many are aware of in history. If he was to succeed, United States won’t be a superpower where caucasian’s were ruling power… it would be a country run by natives.

“Please have a meal, Chief Spirit.”

While in the midst of his thoughts, Upright Tree came to serve food. It was food gained from hunting, and god the taste was terrible.

It was obviously impossible for Kiwoo who was used to eating extravagant delicacies in modern times to be satisfied with how the food was made and prepared. pourtant, Kiwoo didn’t frown nor show his dissatisfaction.

He knew he was privileged enough to eat and he was thankful for that. There were others that were miserable and lacking proper nutrition. There wasn’t always an overabundance of food available.

‘But that can all be solved within a couple of years with some proper work.’

No… based on his expression, Kiwoo was sure that it’d be solved at some point and maybe sooner than he thought. He possessed some essential material in his bag, après tout.
