Babatu, les Trois Conseils plot

In the 1800s, a shepherd and a hunter set out on a bend of the Nile River in Africa to capture slaves in the land of war king Djarman Babatu. King Babatu conquered Gurunsi land and prospered thanks to the slave trade. But after seven years of war, the herdsman and the hunter return home with only three tips as "travel money": never pass a village at sunset, never cross a flooding river, and, if you get angry at night, then wait for the next day before taking action. This 'talisman' is given to them by an old wise man, who targets a prisoner.
