Chapter 38: The Gods and the Sacrifices

"Hehe, gods......" Listening to the story described from the other party's point of view, Mo smiled slightly meaningfully, and then waved his hand, motioning for the other party to continue.

The so-called gods, Mo has some understanding of their existence. Most of them rely on human beliefs. Those righteous gods are okay, accept the beliefs and offerings of human beings, and will also give corresponding protection to human beings, which can be regarded as a mutually beneficial thing in a sense.

And the fact that human beings have been able to develop and grow so far, I have to say that part of it is also due to the protection of the righteous gods. In the initial stage of human development, weak humans were able to avoid being wantonly devoured by monsters and aliens, thanks to the protection of many gods.

But if it's some so-called 'evil gods', then it's not so easy to talk about. And looking at this situation, this so-called 'god' may not be a good stubble.

And the truth is just as Mo predicted. After repelling the 'evil spirits' and avoiding the crisis of the village. Soon, the priests brought with them the oracles of the so-called 'gods'.

The content of the oracle is also very simple, if the village wants to continue to be protected by the gods, in addition to the people who need to worship the gods every day, they also need to make offerings every month.

And the 'sacrifice' is a young girl!

This immediately caused a disturbance in the village, and many of the people were firmly opposed to such an approach. But before the village could come up with a result, the 'evil spirits' attacked again. And this time, the 'gods' didn't make a move. Unstoppable 'demons' wrecklessly destroy everything in the village. At this time of life and death, the village had no choice but to forcibly choose a young girl as a sacrifice and pray for the help of the 'gods' again.

After receiving the offering, the 'gods' also appeared again. After a great battle, the 'demons' were banished again. And this time, the opposition within the clan was finally suppressed by the approval of the sacrifice.

But how should this monthly sacrifice be made? No one would want to see their daughter sacrificed. And the previous time was also in an emergency.,Temporarily caught a girl out.。 In the next month, what will I do......

Just when everyone was waiting in panic, a month passed quietly. In the course of a month, the 'evil spirits' also came to attack the village many times, but they were all stopped by the 'gods'.

Even the teams that went out to hunt at great risk were saved from the risk of sneak attacks by the 'evil spirits' under the 'keeping of their promises'.

A month later, the sacrifices that were chosen this time came from a family where men had died in battle, leaving only women and children. No matter how much they pleaded and even resisted, they could not change the outcome of the family's daughter being selected as a sacrifice.

I don't know if I understand the reason why the village has become difficult to get hands on after having the protection of the 'gods'. The 'Demons' seem to have given up on raiding the village and the hunting party outside. But it's just that the frequency has been reduced to a very low level, not completely absent. Because of this, everyone understands that the great threat surrounding the village has not been eliminated.

After a few months, the people gradually became numb to the sacrifice. Those who have daughters can only pray that it will not be their turn next time. And those who don't have daughters are silent, relying on this way to maintain the remnants of the village.

And that group of priests has become more and more wanton, not only usurping a lot of wealth and resources in the village. They also relied on the name of 'gods' to put to death all kinds of people who disobeyed them, or to worship them to 'gods'.

Over time, all members of the clan who rebelled against their orders were executed by them under various names. Soon after, they turned their attention to Ichiro's teacher and his daughter, two outsiders.

Speaking of which, this group of priests has completely hated Ichiro's teacher as an outsider for a long time. In the beginning, if it weren't for the addition of this outsider. Their status within the clan will not plummet. Even at the beginning of the selection of offerings, they paid attention to Ichiro-sensei's daughter.

If it weren't for the patriarch's protection, I'm afraid that these two people would have been forced to die by the sacrifices at first.

And now, the priests have completely established their authority within the clan, and all the people who dare to oppose them have been eliminated one by one. Even the patriarch had completely bowed his head and obeyed all their instructions. If you don't bow your head, the safety of the village is now in the hands of the 'gods'. And as the representatives of the 'gods', their status has completely surpassed that of the so-called patriarchs.

So, this month's sacrifice was decided in this way. Ichiro-sensei's daughter will be offered to the gods in a few days.

After hearing the news, Ichiro couldn't sit still at all. His teacher had been persuading him to be vague before, so he could keep suppressing the anger in his heart. But this time, it was the daughter of the teacher he had always respected the most who was going to be sent to the altar, how could he bear it!

He did not hesitate to risk being discovered, and hurriedly reported to his teacher. When he heard the news, his teacher seemed to have expected this and asked him to flee the village with his daughter.

As for resistance, it is impossible. Let's not talk about the existence of the 'god'. Now the village has long been completely controlled by that group of sacrifices. Those who had resisted them had already been cleared one by one. And now that he is alone, how can he resist.

But since he was going to escape, he naturally had to flee with his teacher. But his teacher was adamantly opposed to his proposal. One more person is one more burden, and if he stays, he can still cover up and delay the escape of the two of them.

After persuasion failed, Ichiro had no choice but to take the teacher's daughter and escape from the village through the secret passage he had prepared in advance. And secretly decided that after escaping to the outside of the mountain, he would ask those legendary 'strange people' with great power to come back and rescue the village, and avenge the teacher and the sacrificed clansmen.

But the ideal is beautiful, and the reality is cruel. Before they could get any way out, the village noticed that the two had fled. Soon, they sent men to hunt them down. And because he was carrying a weak woman, he couldn't walk fast at all, and he was soon discovered by the clansmen who chased him out and chased after him.

In desperation, Ichiro can only leave the teacher's daughter in a hidden place. And he deliberately revealed his whereabouts and lured away a group of clansmen. But even though his strength in the village was one of the best, he was quickly caught up by his clansmen and suffered heavy losses in the pursuit. If it weren't for a sudden fog, he would have completely fallen into the hands of his people.

But even if he escaped the pursuit of his clansmen, he could not survive with his injuries. The only thing that came to mind was to try to stay away from the hiding place of the teacher's daughter, so that even if the tribe chased after him and found his body, it would not be so easy to find the hiding place of the teacher's daughter.

And there is no need to say much later, if it hadn't happened to run into Mo's carriage, he would have died now.
