Nova Roma-Chapter 82 - Situation in the north

Flavio continued touring the island giving some indications such as identifying strategic mineral resources such as chromium because if it is combined with steel it can form stainless steel, as the process the dwarves are the best in the management of minerals.

Thanks to its innate ability, many processes related to metal smelting or tool forging have been possible without the use of modern tools that have been producing for years.

Another advantage that is very protected in the empire are the elementary magicians, these are descendants of ancient druids who came to the empire through the exchange of slaves, just as Flavio can generate energy but this is not divine if it does not elementary.

This elemental energy is in the air and is divided into 4 elements, water, earth, fire and air, each magician can only develop one element because the human body would not bear the burden of handling another element.

The human being in America compared to the European has different affinities to the elements, for example the Anahuac population has an affinity with the land because its origin is from corn, for humans in Europe its affinity is the fire element because they obtained it from I promise, of course, nothing is written and the element that a person can handle depends a lot on the affinity of the soul.

Not everyone can develop magic because their souls do not support the handling of their element, but those who get it are called elementary magicians, their control depends on their affinity with the element.

The more control more things can do, there is the magic that can generate a small current of air and others capable of generating winds of more than 100 km per hour, many of the calls are considered useless by other magicians but for Flavio nobody is useless just not They have been put in the right place.

For example, those who can only generate a small flame, are perfect to serve in the Roman inquisition or the special forces because they can generate fire and a source of light when needed, those who handle even a small amount of water are the most coveted by any branch of the army as they can provide clean water where there are no aquifers or in contaminated areas.

Those with little capacity to handle the wind will go with the dwarves because they need complex or constant temperatures in their furnaces while those who handle the element of the earth are put with the engineers to reinforce structures since their control of the earth can be the difference between a construction that lasts centuries or a passing ruin.

When Flavio had just traveled the whole island in just 3 days, he decided to return with his family to spend a pleasant beach vacation, there really was a lot to do but he does not want to leave Hellena alone for a long time, her character and the fact that she is pregnant It can be a time bomb.

While all this was happening in the north of the American continent great blizzards whipped the great lakes, turning all that area into an icy wasteland all the natives of the place although it hurt them they had to leave their lands to emigrate to the south or stay and die.

A few months ago they were able to see other natives walking south but they decided to ignore them, now they have to follow the same path because the animals have also been migrating south and without animals the food they can get is null, so they don't have another option.

The Chichimecas, a tribe from northern Mexico who lived in the desert area on the orders of the shamans began a migration to the south, it seems that the goddess Tonatzin had a nightmare related to an event in the north beyond the great plains.

That is why he wants to join the Romans a town beyond the sea that came to help control such a chaotic continent, the Chichimecas are not a town that likes to live under the command of another but it is different if the mother goddess he asks because he would never allow his children to go to a place where they suffered any damage.

Therefore, the great migration began to be prepared, they took their things and packed them in Mecapales, a tool that consists of a wide leather band which is placed on the forehead with wooden supports that allow the weight to be loaded, this method was developed Since ancient times, North America had no pack animals like llamas in the south.

Their long walk began in the desert through the Sierra Madre Oriental, until they reached the north coast of Veracruz, whereas they advanced they could see some villages that were trading different objects with a piece of something bright like the moon.

When they asked them they told them that the currency occupied by the Empire of Nova Roma was denars with that currency can buy things without using barter, also the empire of Nova Roma was where the mother Tonantzin had found the union with other 3 supreme gods allowing that his people did not suffer from any problem, because the union is strong or that is at least what the priests of the mother Tonantzin say.

The Chichimecas were surprised because in the north there was not what they call money but here for those bright and round things it is possible to get salt and water, something they urgently need to survive.

Unfortunately, they had no coins but they had skins which they could sell in a fair transaction because it was supervised by local priests, the priests exercised the duty of being caretakers in distant towns and villages, to prevent new Indians when they will exchange their products for coins were scammed and will create resistance to money.

When the exchange of the skins was finished, they were able to buy salt, water and food to be able to resist the trip to the empire, fortunately the priest realized that it was a great town that sought to emigrate, of some thousands of people, therefore, it was better to let The navy will take you by sea.

Therefore I send a messenger who went through the checkpoints until the message arrived only 3 hours later, to the capital where 4 ships were sent to help the Chichimecas reach Origin Civitatem ...
