Chapter 478: The Divine Messenger (I)
Chapter 478: The Divine Messenger (I)
What's going on?
Isn't the location of the idol the end of the main hall? Why is there a small door in the back.
No one answered my question, I looked at it, and the twins and Gritz also looked at it as a matter of course.
But it's the first time they've come, so how can they be so calm?
I was guessing that the high priest took the lead, and everyone began to walk towards the little door.
I had to keep up, and as I walked around the idol, I sneaked a glance at the totem of the Mother Earth goddess.
A strange feeling flashed through my heart, but it was not fear or any other negative emotion, but like the joy of a child who had done something bad and not been exposed......
Passing through the small door, there is a large courtyard behind, the middle is covered with palm-sized flat stone slabs, and there are plants that are not tall or short all around, at first glance they look similar to the flower beds in your hotel, but if you look closely, there are most of the varieties that can be seen on the grassland, even those inconspicuous grasses, each of which is a single variety, there is no repetition, and there is no mutual restraint and hostility - this is unimaginable in the wild.
It can be seen that this yard is not simple!
The area of the courtyard is a little larger than the main hall, and there is no problem with accommodating a few hundred people, and it is quite spacious for everyone to stand.
In the middle of the courtyard, there was a small wooden stake, which looked like a dead old tree, and like a deliberately carved plank, but there were still a few new shoots growing on it.
The high priest stood in front of the stake and fell on his knees.
When he was in the main hall, he faced the Mother Earth Goddess and the totems and the statues of the gods and goddesses were not so religious!
It's all so weird.
However, the ceremony will continue as usual, and no one will answer my questions.
And Zhao Ritian is already looking for the so-called organs.
However, apart from the flowers and slates, there was only the wooden stake.
Zhao Ritian and I invariably looked past the high priest who was still tall on his knees, and landed on the top of the exposed stake.
There were only two new leaves, tender and green.
The high priest seemed to be praying for something, but his voice was low and low, and the syllables that came out of his mouth were obscure, or rather like an old man who couldn't understand it......
After a while, the high priest stood up, walked to the side and said, "Come, the allegiance ceremony has officially begun, first of all, the royal ......"
The so-called allegiance ceremony is naturally the oath of obedience to the king's leadership by the royal family who have not become kings, and the patriarchs of the various clans also say that they will carry out the orders issued by the king.
And we, the young warriors, are not loyal to the king alone, but to the entire royal family, which means that after we take the oath here, whether we have joined our own army before or will join the army of Animo City in the future, we will obey the command of the royal commander, not just the commander of our own clan.
In other words, we, the winners, will be the warriors of the entire orc race in the future, not just our own race.
On the surface, the army of Animo City, whether it is the city guard, the Praetorian Guard, or the regular army sent to the west, because it is mixed with people of various races, it seems that they learn from each other's strengths and cooperate tacitly, but in fact, they will unconsciously favor their own people, and the werewolf warrior monk Gillian also said about this.
Let us swear allegiance, which means that in the future we will have to be mediated by the royal family if we face ethnic differences.
And those who make it to the top 50, as long as they are willing to accept the solicitation and enter the army, will also accept similar requirements, but they are not enough to enter the temple and directly swear allegiance to the royal family.
In terms of prospects, the top 10 will undoubtedly get higher ranks and positions.
There are two people whose identities are a little embarrassing, one is the lioness Guliana, and the other is the tiger man's son Digama.
However, the oath is the oath, and when it comes to the critical moment, everyone will inevitably be biased towards their own kindred, even the Praetorian Guards guarding the palace and the guardian warriors guarding the temple are not exempt from vulgarity, let alone soldiers who go out to fight?
Of course, the ceremony was solemnly completed, but I was more curious about the stake.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to take the oath and half-kneeling, I looked carefully, and at the bottom of the stake, I saw nothing that looked like a mechanism that could be opened with the palm-sized Minotaur battle axe.
At this time, I was actually looking forward to Leo saying something, even if it was just a few inconsequential complaints......
But he didn't dare to make a sound like a shrunken turtle, as if there was really something in the temple that could demolish his existence.
Looking for clues to the mechanism to no avail, I can only wait for Zhao Ritian to send a signal.
At the same time, I also weighed the strength of the group of people around me - not to mention, they are all unprovoked......
The high priest and the city lord of Ron naturally don't need to say, the kings of the royal family are all strong middle-aged people, and their strength is at least above the prince of Tigama, and there are many estimates of the same level as the young patriarch, and there are some of the patriarchs of the various clans who are too weak to be mentioned, but even if they are weaker than the Ron patriarch, it is estimated that two or three of them can join forces to make a draw with him, the patriarch of the fox man, the owl man, the hawk man, and the crow man will not be a mediocre hand, and the most peculiar is the snake man patriarch, I just noticed that he has four arms, just shrunk behind the wide soft armor, not visible......
In short, this is probably the strongest group of people in the entire orc clan, if I am allowed to fight Zhao Ritian head-on, the strength of these dozens of people is enough to kill the two of us a hundred times......
As Leo said, thankfully this is a group of Npishi who won't fight......
However, when Zhao Ritian's engine is turned off, we will immediately become the target of public criticism, and if we are not careful, we will die simply......
In the process of taking the oath, the Tyrannosaurus Rex also felt that the atmosphere around it was wrong, especially the patriarchs of the fox clan, the cat clan, the weasel clan, and the snake clan, which had a stronger oppressive force on it, so it was very honest.
After the allegiance ceremony, all we have to do is wait for the arrival of the messenger of God, but it is not yet in the afternoon, and it is indeed a long wait.
"Let's just wait here," said the high priest, who seemed very tired after a while, "rest and recuperate, by the way, because the specific time is still uncertain, everyone eat something to cushion their stomachs......
At this time, a priest brought over a round leather blanket the size of a table, and the high priest simply sat down on it.
We were amazed that more priests were bringing food.
"Everyone, eat a little faster," the high priest himself picked up a piece of sweet flour cake and took a bite, and said a little vaguely, "It is evening, but I have already felt the fluctuations of the divine tree, and the time is likely to be ...... earlier."
As soon as he said this, I realized that this piece of wood stake was what he called the "sacred tree".
Sacred wood, is it difficult to be a wood given by God Himself?
No wonder it is so valued, more important than the totems and idols that symbolize the gods!
Everyone also sped up the speed of eating, after all, they are all strong and rulers, and eating is also very stylish, and several players and I have unconsciously corrected our "rude" way of eating.
In fact, with our strength and physical strength, it doesn't matter if we don't eat for a day or two, but the high priest doesn't seem to be among them, even if it's for the sake of him, everyone doesn't just eat two bites of perfunctory.
After eating, of course, they sat in the courtyard and waited, but some priests quickly sat on the ground and closed their eyes, as if asleep.
At this time, the presiding priest, who had been following the high priest not far away, said: "By the way, the young warriors may not know that the Divine Wood Garden is the most important core of the Divine Temple, more important than the main hall in front, just because this Divine Tree can strengthen our connection with the Divine Realm and Divine Kingdom, speed up the cultivation, and I don't know if it will be useful to you, you can give it a try, and if you have the opportunity in the future, you can also come here to practice with meritorious deeds." ”
Hearing this, my curiosity about Shenmu was clouded with a layer of jealousy and fear.
saw Zhao Ritian suddenly sit down and close his eyes.
"Gnar Boom is a warrior and has also learned priest skills?" The presiding priest was a little surprised, "I can actually receive the inspiration of the divine tree!" ”
I saw Zhao Ritian's eyes closed, his legs folded and coiled, and he posed in a strange posture, which was very different from the priests.
I guessed that this was Huaxia's way of practice, but I also suspected that it might be the posture of the troll clan's wizards, so I moved closer.
"Don't disturb him," said the presiding priest, who stopped me, "Warrior Bihon, I suggest you also feel that such an opportunity is rare today......
As he spoke, he sat down on his own.
Not only him, but also among the patriarchs of the various clans sat down.
Even a few of our contestants sat down.
Apparently, they all felt it.
However, why didn't I feel the so-called "inspiration" at all, was it because of Leo? That's not right, even Zhao Ritian can feel it, even the twins, Gritz and the young patriarch have closed their eyes, I have no reason not to feel it......
I was wondering when a warm current flowed out of the laurel crown above my head like hot water, and immediately enveloped me and my whole body, like taking a bath in a large wooden barrel, and it was so comfortable. Soon, I felt it too—not a calling, but a sense of sleepiness.
I sat down involuntarily, and then simply half-laid.
What gods, all threats, all conspiracies, all disappeared, and I fell asleep as if I hadn't slept for more than ten days......
When I woke up, I saw Atayal.
"Bihon," Ataya said in surprise, "you've finally woken up, and the descent ceremony is about to begin!" "I want to talk about "Memoirs of the Bull Head" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "Youyue Literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
