"Lord Demon Mountain, you are already the Red Hand of the Chieftain of the Scorching Tribe, you have to sacrifice a part of your body, and then we can end the ceremony. Pull out your short knife, cut off a part of your body, and throw it into the brazier. Old Man Timei said.

"Sacrificial part of the body?"

"Yes, the Red Hand of the Magic Mountain. ”

If it is a nobleman, he will not be called the nickname of the magic mountain directly, but will be called by his real name: Grego Cregan, because it is a solemn ceremony. But the exquisiteness of the Scorching Department is not as elegant and meticulous as the details of civilization in aristocratic civilization, they are more primitive and crude. The old man felt that it was more convenient to call the Magic Mountain, so he directly called the Red Hand of the Magic Mountain.

"Old man Timei, is there anything special about this sacrifice?"

"My lord, the more important the body part of the sacrifice, the more it proves one's courage and piety in faith. ”

"Oh, what do warriors generally sacrifice in our tribe?"

"A finger, or a piece of skin. ”

"But I'm no ordinary warrior. Demon Mountain said solemnly.

"Yes, my lord, you are the Red Hand of the tribal chieftain, the most honorable chieftain, the strongest warrior, and the bravest warrior of the tribe. You are the crowning glory of our tribe. ”

"Then my sacrifice cannot be an ordinary sacrifice. ”

The old man Ti Mei paused slightly, he didn't want Lord Demon Mountain to be physically inconvenient because of the sacrifice, which would lead to inconvenience in combat, but the rules are the rules: "Yes, my lord." ”

"I've heard before this that the one-eyed Timei proved his courage by sacrificing one of his left eyes, and he became the youngest red hand of the tribe, and was respected by the whole tribe. ”

"Yes. ”

"And if I sacrifice one of my eyes, the courage and piety will be no more than the one-eyed charm?"

“...... Belch...... Yes...... Magic Mountain Red Hand ......"

"Oh, I have to think about what I need to sacrifice to be worthy of the supreme position of my chieftain, the Red Hand. Demon Mountain said, his expression contemplative, and later, he made a decision, "Since I am the chief of the Scorching Tribe, the Red Hand, I have to sacrifice the most noble part beyond ordinary people, and the new Red Hand of the Scorching Tribe, Gregor Krigan, hereby swears that I am willing to sacrifice my head to the God of Fire." “

After the magic mountain finished taking the oath, he habitually reached out to draw his sword on his back, but he pulled it out empty. He held a military meeting in the hall of Fort Krigane, and when he was not in war, he naturally did not wear plate armor or carry an ice greatsword.

But his oath and actions startled Lady Jeanne, and she involuntarily stood up at once.

Demon Mountain's oath and actions just now are too terrifying, the Ice Sword is a giant sword, not a knife for peeling fruits, is he really going to pull out such a heavy giant sword to cut off his head? Sacrificing a part of his body is just a ritual, what's wrong with Demon Mountain, he is crazy?!

The actions of the Demon Mountain and the words of sacrificing the head made the old man Ti Mei also take a hard startle.

"My lord, you have just become a member of the tribe, and you still don't understand the sacrifice ritual of the tribe, and the ordinary sacrifice only needs to cut off one of your fingers. I was the red hand of the previous generation, and I only cut off two of my fingers. Old Man Timei whispered, and he raised his hand to let the Magic Mountain see his severed little finger and ring finger.

The implication is that such words as sacrificing heads should never be said casually.

"But the one-eyed charm has already sacrificed his eyes, and my sacrifice after him must go further, and then only my own head will be sacrificed. Demon Mountain's sincere tone, pious expression. He knew that the belief in the god of fire in the Scorching Division was not actually derived from the miracle of the god of fire, but from the 'miracle' of the dragon knight castor.

From the trajectory of the world before the crossing and the various information feedback obtained after the crossing, Moshan knew with certainty that the castor bean one hundred and seventy years ago was not the real Vulcan priest, she was a pseudo-Vulcan priest who became a monk halfway, and had to pretend to be a Vulcan priest in the Dog Department in order to avoid the pursuit of King Rhaenyra and the oath of the prince who swore to let her escape.

The castor dragon knight because she has a sheep thief dragon as a mount, she said that she is the Vulcan priest in the Cloud Mountain of the Mingyue Mountain Range, so she is naturally the Vulcan priest, and the scorching department, which was still a branch of the painting dog department at that time, has not yet separated from the painting dog part. They were backward and primitive, and after seeing the dragon and the dragon knight, they firmly believed in the words of castor.

Regarding the sacrifice of a part of the body to the god of fire, it was not from the miraculous revelation of the god of fire, but the dragon knight castor took it for granted a set of rituals of faith. At that time, she needed someone from the Burning Department to solve the food and water for her and the sheep thief, and the person who delivered the food had to be able to withstand the heat, because the sheep thief always liked to spew dragon fire to threaten the people who came to offer food, and the magic mountain estimated that at that time, because the sheep thief had not yet adapted to the 'hidden' life, he had a very bad temper, and liked to spew flames to intimidate those who approached.

In the past month since the Demon Mountain returned to the Western Realm after caring about the sheep thief, he has actually discovered many details of the sheep thief circulating in the Burning Man Department from the mouths of the One-Eyed Charm and other people in the Scorching Tribe.

For the so-called traditions that are not derived from the real miracle revelation of the fire god, although the magic mountain does not dare to break it, there is no need to really be in awe.

The old man looked at Melisandre, hoping that Melisandre would remind Lord Magic Mountain to be cautious, cut off the parts of the body, and throw them into the fire, and when the ceremony is over, you must not sacrifice your own life.

In fact, Melisandre was also caught off guard.

Only then did she realize that the Scorching Ministry also had a primitive tradition of sacrificing body parts to the god of fire, and although the red god Rahlo also needed to sacrifice life or blood, it was always someone else's life and blood, but it was not her own. If a sorcerer sacrifices his life or organs to the Red God Rahlo, the Red God Priest must be extinct.

With Melisandre's experience and mastery of the various sacrificial rituals of the Vulcan wizards, she had not heard of the sacrifice of one's own body parts to believe in the Vulcan.

The belief in the fire god of the Scorching Division is different!

Melisandre looked at the Demon Mountain, and was about to speak as the priest of the Fire God, but the Demon Mountain still insisted: "Charm Red Hand, Lady Melisandre, since I am the Red Hand of the new Chieftain, I should sacrifice something different from other warriors. Other warriors sacrificed their fingers, skins, one-eyed charms, and even one of their own left eyes, so I, as the tribal chieftain Red Hand, must be more pious, courageous, and dignified than all the sacrifices, and I decided to sacrifice my life. Demon Mountain said with a cold expression. He got up and turned his head to look at Brienne: "General Brienne, go get my ice sword and cut off my head." “

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall lost their color.

The other warriors of the Scorching Division all had sweaty foreheads and noses, their faces were pale, and their lips trembled.

The Scorching Ministry has just been reborn and obtained the strongest chieftain red hand, but in the blink of an eye, the chief red hand is going to sacrifice his life......?!

"My lord, by no means. "Sweet-mouthed Raff, executioner Dunsen, and artist Polivier rushed out at the same time to block the Magic Mountain.

Julie, Angey, Langdengal, Mrs. Doherty, Notepad, Big-Headed Chiswick, Captain Erling, Captain Joyce, General Jerkoloch, Weapon Master Tobmot...... Dozens of people rushed out, shouting loudly...... The sheriff's fangs are like a shadow, and Rolger is like a giant bear, and the two run to Brienne together, preventing her from getting her sword...... There was chaos at the scene......

"Do not blaspheme my courage and piety, for the will of God is indisputable, and I am the Red Hand of the Supreme Chieftain, and I will sacrifice the most precious thing to the god of fire. "Brienne is going to fetch the ice, and if not, I'll use a normal sword." ”

In the sound of choking, the generals of the Crab Claw Peninsula came out in unison and fanned out to rob the Demon Mountain, afraid that he would take out his sword and kill himself.

Lady Jeanne was stunned and stood on the ground in a daze, unable to move!

"No matter what god you are, Lord Demon Mountain, you must not give your life. Bachelor Harry shouted hoarsely from the periphery. He had no courage to overtake the beasts around him, so he could only make his voice heard on the periphery.

Peggy, the court scholar, was stunned: What kind of ritual is this? Forcing the Demon Mountain to sacrifice his head? This fire god is too evil, why did the Demon Mountain sacrifice his life to prove it to him? That must be an evil god!!

"Lord Magic Mountain's courage has been tested by war, and there is no need to sacrifice any more body parts to prove it. Sansa Stark's calm voice resounded throughout the audience, "Both the gods and the old and the new have witnessed the bravery and fearlessness of Lord Magic Mountain, and from the beginning of Aegon Calendar 298 to the present, he is invincible to the Magic Mountain. His courage is unmatched in the Seven Kingdoms. ”

Sansa's words caused a roar of echo in the hall, and all the generals echoed it, saying bluntly that Sansa's words were the truth, and that Lord Magic Mountain did not need to sacrifice to prove his courage and piety, and Lord Magic Mountain's courage and piety had already been repeatedly proven in the flames of war.

The generals surrounded the Magic Mountain, and Polivier was so frightened that he clung to the Magic Mountain's arm to prevent him from drawing his sword and killing himself. Fortunately, the Magic Mountain did not have the urge to cut off her own head, and Brienne was also standing next to Lady Jane, her eyes widened, and she did not go to the room to help the Magic Mountain get the Ice Greatsword.

The generals, the servants, all objected to the Magic Mountain sacrificing his head to the god of fire.

It was the first time for the old man to encounter such a decision, he was at a loss, and he naturally had no doubt about the courage and piety of Lord Magic Mountain, but it was a tribal tradition to sacrifice a certain part of the body, and for one hundred and seventy years, there were all the tribal warriors who sacrificed all the organs of the body, but absolutely no one sacrificed their heads: the tribesmen who were willing to sacrifice their heads, in one hundred and seventy years, the Magic Mountain was the first.

And the head of the magic mountain must not be cut off, there is no doubt about it. Once you cut it down, it won't grow back.

A voice that was pure and charming, as if it came from the shadow of the moon in the empty mountain, with a touching and penetrating power in the ethereal, Melisandre spoke: "Generals, lords, ladies, knights, since Lord Magic Mountain has said that he will sacrifice his life, we must respect his decision, which is also the highest piety to the god of fire. But the mission of the Lord is not yet complete, the war of the Strangers in the North is continuing, and the Night King needs Lord Demon Mountain to resist, otherwise we will all die. Today's sacrifice, in the name of the Vulcan Wizard, with the piety of the Vulcan Emissary, I declare that when the true mission of Lord Moshan is accomplished, I will sacrifice his head to the Vulcan. ”

"No, I can't cut off the head of Lord Demon Mountain at any time, and if I can't break my oath, I'm willing to do it for him. Polivier snapped.

"I do, too!" said Julie Cregan.

"And this head of mine. Langdengarh and ComWarner were in unison.

"I'll do it anyway, my head is bigger. The big head Chiswick said.

The Demon Mountain looked at everyone and said, "I have sworn that I will sacrifice my life to the god of fire, and I will not break my word. But the Wraiths will wage a war of extermination against our Terrans in the dead of winter, and my mission has not yet been accomplished, Lady Melisandre, what part of my body can I temporarily replace my head and make a sacrifice to the god of fire?"

"Hair, Gregor, you can use your hair first. Preferably your entire hair. Lady Jenny said in a cold voice.

"Cutting the hair and acting as the head, sacrificing the fire god with his life, the piety and courage of the Red Hand of the Magic Mountain are unmatched. Melisandre declared singing.

Hair cutting head!

Naturally, this story is not new. The magic mountain before the crossing is very familiar with this story, this story is very classic, it is about a traitor issued a military order, soldiers are not allowed to trample on the crops of the people, violators of the order beheaded!

Magic Mountain borrowed this method. No one doubted his sincerity but himself.

It's a godly world, and there's certainly no shortage of ungodly people, like little devils. But no one doubts the courage and piety of the Magic Mountain. In such a ceremony, everything is solemn and sacred.

He wanted Moshan to gouge out one of his eyes, or cut off a few of his fingers, at least two or more, in order to match the respect, courage and strength of his chieftain's red hand, but Moshan was unwilling.

The sacrificial body organs of the Burning Sect, the Demon Mountain did not agree with it in his heart. Their belief in the god of fire originated from the teachings of the knight of the castor dragon, and the sixteen-year-old girl of castor, who used to be a commoner girl herding sheep, became a dragon knight after conquering the sheep thief and entered the palace, and learned the dragon commands of the Valyrian higher language, and in her life experience, there has never been a inheritance of the belief in the god of fire. She's not really a Vulcan wizard either.

The belief ritual of the Burning Man Department is actually derived from the hidden castor bean's self-creation forced by the situation at that time!

Even in a god-like world, some of the god's rituals are still created by man, not miracles. And some gods, also derived from people's creation, do not exist in their own right.

As Melisandre's hair was cut off and thrown into the brazier by Melisandre, everyone in the hall had even more devout respect and loyalty to the mountain.
