Chapter 8: The Oracle
The stone house where the chief of the Viper tribe lives, occupies a lot of land, but this shape is really not flattering, with the aesthetics and construction level of the Rakshasa tribe, this stone house is only different from the tattered shantytowns outside, the difference is only in the material, the whole house is like a triangular white paper, after simply folding in half from the middle, it is directly placed on the ground and erected.
There is no portal on the front, so outsiders can see the whole situation inside at a glance.
In the middle of the beam that supports the whole stone house, there is a large stone bed, in order to avoid being too hard to lie down, the bed is also covered with several layers of thick fur cushions, looking like that, it should be made of the fur of various animals, whether there is human skin in it, it is not known, after all, some places, it is indeed smooth.
Around the house, there are some skeletons of animal heads and human bones that symbolize the supreme power of the whole tribe, which are trophies to promote the chief's strength, and some sharp weapons, which are simply piled together, and there is also a large flag with animal skins next to it, on which a coiled viper is depicted with black charcoal, and there are many strange patterns, which are the totems and symbols of their entire tribe, and the source of the strength of the warriors in the tribe.
At this moment, there is a skinny old man of the Rakshasa tribe on the bed, the whole body is sitting on the cushion behind him, up and down the body, only the lower body is covered with a layer of dirty cloth, and the rest of the place is exposed outside, shriveled like grapes that have lost their moisture, crumpled, and smeared with white powder full of patterns, which is the ancient totem of the Rakshasa legend, representing the strength and courage given by the gods, and is a symbol that the chief deserves.
The old man's eyes were cloudy, as if they were filled with mud and sand, and the whole person sat completely on the cushion, and his hands were casually hanging to the side, even if someone came, there was no reaction, like a dried corpse.
There was another old man sitting next to him, wearing a head ring made of bird feathers, colorful, very strange, wearing a shabby black robe, dragged to the ground, holding a stone mortar in his wrinkled hand, and holding a mallet in the other hand, he was breaking the heart of the "human slave" that he had received from the soldier next to him mixed with a kind of emerald green herb, and the whole room was filled with a strong fishy smell, which was disgusting.
There was also a tall Rakshasa clan at the door, who was sitting quietly on the stone bench on the side, his body was covered with mysterious patterns, and when he saw Lu Yi and the others coming, his eyes suddenly showed a fierce light like a beast seeing a prey.
Lu Yi looked at him calmly, and he could see it almost at a glance, the pattern on this person's body, and the position where he was sitting, must be the son of the chief, and it can also be said that he is the prince in this "small kingdom".
"Human slave!" he roared in a low voice, looking at the two opposites, and a sudden look of greed suddenly radiated from his eyes, "I just need two heads for a hundred skulls." β
A necklace made of 100 foreign heads is the best symbol of force.
Feng Tiesheng turned his head sideways, although he didn't know what this person was talking about, but just looking at the other party like that, he knew that it was definitely not a good thing, the muscles of his body had been silently mobilized, as long as things were wrong, he would immediately kill the seemingly tall Rakshasa clan opposite, and then hijack the old man on the bed who should be an important person in the entire tribe, and when the time came, he ran west, grabbed the horse, and could run away soon.
Such a small pond, where can he trap this dragon crossing the river.
"Adagon, don't mess around. β
Inside the room, next to the bed, the priest who was gently smashing his heart and herbs with a mallet suddenly spoke.
The Rakshasa man on the opposite side, known as "Adagon", clenched his hands into fists, his expression was extremely fierce, and the prey was about to be in front of him, and he wanted to let it go?
After hesitating, but finally not daring to disobey the priest's words, he let out a rough breath, and then sat down again.
Lu Yi saw that no one greeted them for the time being, and he didn't care, just folded his hands in front of his waist, stood opposite the big bed, and waited silently, his expression extremely calm.
"Da!"
"Da!"
"Da!"
The only sound in the house was the sound of the mallet hitting the stone mortar, and the sticky blood and tender flesh on it rose and fell, and if the average person saw this scene, I am afraid that they would really think that they have come to hell.
After a while, the only priest in the clan, that is, the witch doctor, finally put down the mallet in his hand, held the stone mortar, poured all the red and green fishy liquid in it into the bowl next to him, and put his finger into the stone mortar, rolled out the rest of the things, closed his eyes again, stood in front of the bowl and whispered an ancient incantation, and then held the bowl and handed it to the old man lying on the bed.
"Drink it, king!"
Adagon, that is, the eldest prince of the Viper tribe, saw this scene, and also frowned deeply, his father, the chief of the tribe, had become like this many years ago, the priest of the tribe said that his soul was taken away by the evil god of the desert, Cambraltar, so he needed to eat the heart of a person to continue his life, and he ate people's hearts, which was equivalent to offering that person's soul to the evil god Cambraltar, and when he had eaten enough hearts of a thousand hearts and sacrificed enough souls of a thousand people, Cambraltar would return the soul to him.
He, like everyone else in the tribe, believed in the words of the priest at first, but seeing his father eating his heart raw like this still made him feel a little disgusted, although the outside world said that the Rakshasa people were used to drinking blood and eating human flesh raw, but that was actually for the people of the small tribe, and the nobles of the Rakshasa tribe like them had already left that low-level life.
In order to survive, they will also eat people, after all, in their eyes, it is just a piece of hungry meat, but if they eat their hearts raw, or drink them mixed with pungent herbs, even he can't accept it.
Although he didn't think there was anything wrong with the heart of the raw cannibal slave, after all, this was one of their traditions, a way to promote force, but he didn't see his father getting better, but he became more and more stupid, which still made him very irritable.
Could it be that the evil god is so greedy, even if he has given the souls of five hundred people, it is still not enough for him to return a part of his father's soul?
You know, there are only a few thousand people in their Viper Tribe, and the next five hundred, when will it take to get together?
The chief on the other side, who had been lying on the bed, and didn't react even when outsiders came, finally moved, he took the bowl from the priest next to him with a blank expression, and with the help of the other party, he slowly put it to his mouth, and then opened his mouth obediently, and drank it in small sips and small sips in front of the bowl, seeing his throat rise and fall, listening to the sound of him swallowing things, Adagon couldn't hold back anymore, he stood up irritably, turned his head and asked Lu Yi and the two people on the other side:" What are you here for?"
"Pay attention to your words, prince of the Viper Tribe! Adagon!" Lu Yi looked at him coldly and said coldly: " I, the messenger of the Most High God, the only and most merciful Allah, the messenger of Azta, I have come by the command of the God of the gods, I have brought endless food, endless water, countless silk and gold, the ancient and supreme god has sent me his oracle, the old order will collapse, the viper tribe will become the only spokesman of the gods in the world under a new king, praise the god of fire, Azna, her holy fire will guide the way, praise the creator Az Az, love the Arapo, love the ArapoοΌβ
Adagon on the other side was stunned when he heard this, and the whole person was stupid, he didn't expect that the other party would speak such a mellow Rakshasa language, and he said it so mysteriously.
Aren't these all legends of the clan?
Az Tuo, but the Creator of everything, is the only Allah that their entire Rakshasa clan will worship!
But the priest who had been sitting on the edge of the bed on the other side was not surprised at all, but lowered his head and muttered to himself: "Praise Az Tsuba, Ero Basa, O Ero Pasa, the only true God who is most merciful and merciful, has your messenger finally arrived?"
He turned his head suddenly, his eyes staring meaningfully at the foreigner who claimed to be an envoy across from him, and he didn't say a word.
After Adagon recovered from the shock just now, his face was suddenly full of anger, and he shouted at the other party: "Fart, the messenger of the Supreme God Az Tuo, the great Nariga, how can you be a low-level human slave like you?"
He had always looked down on weak foreigners, and how could the messenger of the supreme god, who was said to bring them infinite food and wealth, as the messenger of the gods, be the weak human slave in front of him?
Lu Yi's face suddenly sank, even if he was a head shorter than the other party, but in terms of momentum, he had completely suppressed the other party, he opened his mouth, and shouted at the other party without fear: "Presumptuous! Did Allah tell you whether its skin is black or yellow?"
"It's ridiculous, he's the supreme god of our race, of course it'γγγγγγ β
Halfway through the words, Adagon himself was a little confused, he almost subconsciously looked at the priest on the other side, expecting him to stand up and help him refute the slave opposite, but the old priest just silently bowed his head and cleaned up the stone mortar and mallet and other things, and didn't pay attention to him at all.
Could it be that the priest acquiesced?
Adagon did not dare to talk nonsense, because he was afraid of the punishment of the supreme god Az Tuo, who was the creator of all things, the only true god in the world, and the faith of their whole people, and he did not dare to make a conclusion about it.
Who would dare to disrespect the all-knowing and all-powerful gods?
Even if it's him Adagon.
Seeing that the other party had been frightened, Lu Yi then said confidently: "I am here with the oracle of the supreme god, and soon after, the holy fire of the fire god Azna will be lit in my hands, and I will bring a bright future to the Viper tribe and the entire Brahmana tribe through eternity, and I will obey the will of the gods of the Heavenly Palace, assist the new king of the Viper tribe, and rule the entire Brana!"
Adagon's eyes widened, full of shock and yearning, his mouth was slightly open, motionless, and his whole person was completely immersed in the beautiful scene that the other party had just described.
What an honor it was to dominate the whole of Brahmana, and wasn't he, Adagon, the strongest warrior of the entire Viper tribe, what he expected?
Is there anything more exciting for a pure warrior than conquest and domination?
What's more, it was the will of the gods!
