Chapter 467: The Festival of All Nations

Waiting for the arrival of the festival of all nations, Higg is equivalent to locking himself in a cabin, and he has been in retreat for seven days and seven nights, and he still walks a little awkwardly when he goes out, but the injury on his leg is also very good, especially in the magic comprehension, which makes him feel extremely comfortable and radiant when he walks out of the cabin early in the morning.

Out of the wooden house, Higg felt that the human brain was extraordinary, and the outside had completely changed in the past few days. There was already a beautiful girl who Higg didn't know at all waiting at the door, and when she saw Higg, she immediately saluted, smiled charmingly, and said: "Mr. Higg, my name is Monica, and the elders have sent me to invite Mr. Higg to the festival of all nations, Mr. Higg, please!" ”

"Hehe, such a lively festival of all nations, but I have to spend it with a group of elders and patriarchs, isn't it too boring!" Higg looked at the girl in front of him and said with a smile, "It's not appropriate for the elder not to go there, let's walk around first, and then deal with it casually later!" ”

"Yes, Mr. Higg!" Monica smiled brightly and said, "Willing to serve sir!" ”

"Why are there so many people all of a sudden?" Higg sighed as he walked, "It's worthy of the Holy Maiden's selection conference!" ”

"The Wanbang Festival is the largest holy gathering of the witch clan, held every twenty to thirty years, the specific time is chosen by the elders of the clan, but it is generally chosen in the summer!" Monica said, "The festival of all nations is not only to elect a shrine maiden, but also to elect the actual ruler of the witch clan, that is, the position of elder. But generally speaking, the position of elder is held by the patriarch of my Xiangjing clan, because the Xiangjing clan occupies the largest vine platform in the endless swamp, even if the patriarch of other tribe branches can be elected as elders, they must also live in my tribe, because only a few hundred square kilometers of vine platforms of my tribe can hold such a huge event, and no patriarch of that branch is willing to live in other tribe territory! Over time, the position of elder has become hereditary of the Xiangjing clan! ”

Higg nodded and said, "Isn't it a waste that so many people gathered here and built so many houses, and when the assembly is completed, they will be demolished again?" Higg asked curiously, looking at the villages of wooden houses built on top of the vine platform.

"How can it be wasted?" Monica laughs, "The Wanbang Festival is actually going to be held for a month! In the summer of each year, all the people of the sub-tribes still have to come to live here for a month, and at that time it is not called the Wanbang Festival, but the Qianbang Festival. The reason why the festival of all nations is important, in addition to the appointment of elders and the selection of saints, there is also an important competition for this festival, which is the qualifying competition! These houses will not be demolished, they will only be demolished and rebuilt before the festival of all nations, and these houses will take twenty or thirty years! ”

"Qualifying?" Higg became curious and asked, "How's that arrangement?" ”

"Did Mr. Higg notice, the builders of these villages were all built by the men of the witch clan, did you see half a man here the other day?" Monica said, "Qualifying, in fact, is the witches of each branch through the competition of comprehensive strength, the winner gets the priority to move in the new village around the Xiangjing tribe, the higher the ranking, the better the position!" These villages were built with the help of the men of the witch clan, and the branches of each clan only need to move in directly! There are a total of sixty-four villages excluding the Xiangjing tribe, the largest of which is the village where the witches live, and the other sixty-three villages are moved in according to the comprehensive ranking of strength. ”

"What's the point of this location?" Higg was puzzled, but Monica smiled mysteriously and didn't answer.

Many wyverns hovered in the sky, both red and green, without any scruples. To Higg's great shock, there were still poisonous flies and dragon flies, didn't these creatures die a few days after they turned into adults in the spring, how could they still be in the summer? Could it be that since the Flower of Soul Eaters bloomed, animal trainers and witches could domesticate these dragon flies? Higg didn't ask much, because it seemed to be a secret that someone else had been living in Mizuzawa.

Sure enough, on the territory of this Xiangjing tribe, all the villages have been built, and each village has begun to live with women, it is said that they will temporarily move in according to the previous ranking, and wait until the completion of this qualifying competition, and the next Qianbang Festival, they will be reassigned to live in the place. The largest village, the village of the witch men, is ten times the size of the others. Ordinary villages only live in tribal branches of four or five thousand people, but the men of the witch tribe are only assigned to one village, and their status can be imagined, all of them live together, and they are not allowed to enter other tribal villages at will.

Higg had never seen such a custom before, and found it very interesting.

In addition to the villages, in the center of these villages, there is a huge arena for the selection of saints. The Holy Maiden Trials are a competition of personal ability and luck, and it has little to do with the strength of the tribe; There is another arena, but in the endless swamp, the battlefield is demarcated, but the combined strength of the various tribes is contested, and each tribe is led by eight witches to command an equal number of werewolves, lizards, dragonflies, monitor lizards and wyverns to compete in pairs. Sixty-four branches are first divided into sixteen groups, each group of four teams, two by two, each group according to the ranking of the two strongest tribes, into the brutal knockout stage, a total of thirty-two branches, draw lots to fight in pairs, the winner enters the top 16, and so on, until the final winner is produced, according to the results of the sixty-four teams to rank, the highest ranking has the priority to choose the village.

Higg didn't understand why the location of the village was so important, the winner didn't have any prizes, just the right to choose the tribe to move in, wasn't it just a month a year, it was necessary to fight to the death? However, this kind of competition is indeed very beneficial to the survival of the witch clan, and through such an internal competition mechanism, each tribe is actively making its own tribe stronger and more competitive. Because although everyone invests the same number of troops in each battle, it is inevitable that there will be casualties in the process of fighting, and if there is no strong back army, it is difficult to continue to advance in the next round of competition, which is indeed the strongest tribe that can be decided. At the same time, how to distribute the spirit creatures trained in their own clan into the game is also a test of the wisdom and command art of the clan leader, such as putting the strongest troops into the previous battles, you will make yourself weak in the later battles, and if you only start with weaker troops, you will inevitably be eliminated. In short, this is completely a big battle, this big battle is divided into more than a hundred long and small battles, each clan has to fight at least three, up to eight, several battles a day, and complete all the qualifying process within a month.

Compared with the selection of saints, Higg is more looking forward to the comprehensive competition of qualifying, which will integrate a lot of art of war, and the two sides with equal strength know each other better, who will give full play to the characteristics of their army, who is likely to be the winner. Higg couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, who would dare to say that this place was barbaric, who would dare to say that this place was primitive? The witch clan and the beast tamer clan are the two major forces of the Mizusawa country, although the ruler is the beast tamer clan, but the power of the witch clan is not necessarily under the beast tamer clan, the beast tamer only uses the existing spirit creatures for domestication training to form an army, while the witch clan is not only domesticated, but also truly integrated with the spirit creatures, heart to heart.

It's no wonder that Daniel was inspired in Fuxing City, holding all kinds of competitive events, attracting celebrities from all over the world to participate in the competition, and forming a culture of Fuxing City, it turned out that his inspiration was inherited from his own clan, and his blood originally flowed with the wisdom of the witch clan, and he only improved it slightly.

Today's competition is the Holy Maiden Trials, and the qualifying round will not really start until the day after the Holy Maiden Trials are completed. Because only sixteen clans are left to participate, and eight clans are eliminated in eight games, it can be completely completed in one day.

Under the control of the shrine maidens, those monitor lizards fought hard, winning the applause of the crowd in the audience. Although the shrine maidens of each tribal branch are dressed in coarse cloth and are also colorful, if you look closely, you will find that the main color of the clothes of each tribe is different, and the patterns are also different, and even the style of the silver headdress is similar to the pattern on the clothes, and the people of the witch clan can tell which tribal branch the person belongs to at a glance based on these patterns.

Higg was extremely conspicuous in the audience, because the people who came to watch the tryouts seemed to be all women, and there was no man, so in desperation, Higg had to accept Haines's invitation to sit on the rostrum and sit with the patriarchs of various tribes to watch this unique Saintess tryout.

Behind Haynes were three young girls who followed Iona, saluting at the sight of Higg, not remembering at all what had happened a few days ago.

Higg sat down beside the elder and smiled awkwardly, "Originally, I didn't think it would be too long to participate in such a grand event as a man, but the elder kindly invited, I can only take it as a real kindness!" Please don't cancel my abruptness, Elder! ”

"Mr. Higg is so careful, this seat is indeed a sincere invitation!" Haynes said with a smile, "All the clan patriarchs agree on this matter, it's not my own personal hypocrisy!" I heard that Mr. Higg is in Fuxing City and has made a lot of trouble in Erathia, maybe the people of this seat will need Mr. Higg's help in the future! ”

"The elder laughed!" Higg had a smile on his face, but he had to be secretly frightened in his heart, only a few days, Haynes actually found out about himself, his deeds were thousands of kilometers away in Erathia, separated by mountains and smoke and sea, and not in the same country, this strength did surprise Higg, "So, the elder also found out about Daniel?" ”

"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Higg!" Haynes laughed, "I don't mean to investigate the identity of Mr. I have sent your friends to the city of Gagolan and told them about your peace, and your deeds were told by your friends to the people I sent, and I don't know much about them. I heard that you were injured and needed to recuperate, so with our help, they took a boat from Gagolan City back to Fuxing City first, so you don't have to worry too much! ”

"Good!" A big stone finally fell in Higg's heart, "Thank you for your help!" If the Elder is interested in Fuxing City, wouldn't it be better for Daniel, the Grand General of Fuxing City, to come back in person after I go back? ”

"That's great!" Haynes said, "Just Mr.'s leg? ”

"It's okay, I can go back in a few days!" Higg laughed, "I've been bothering the elders for this time! ”

"So fast?" Haynes smiled froze, surprised, and muttered no more.

Higg didn't know if she was referring to Higg's injury as quickly as she meant it, or if it meant that Higg was leaving quickly.

The Holy Maiden Tryout Higg was not very interested, and sat with Haynes on the stage for a whole day, and Iona of course obtained the place of witch for the Xiangjing clan according to Higg's deployment without any suspense......
