Chapter 16: Carnival
The Great Elder looked at Haruka with joy and love in his eyes, and said, "Haruka, you have been approved by the Life Stone, then according to the tradition of the settlement, you will be able to have a single night to come into contact with the Life Stone. This is a rare opportunity, and how much power you can get depends on your fate. ”
"Now that the ogre is outside, we don't have much time, Haruka, I'll take you to the Creation Room now."
Haruka's mind went blank as he followed the Great Elder towards the building in the middle of the settlement. She suddenly looked back at Huang Quan, and when she saw him nodding slightly, she suddenly had courage in her heart.
The Stone of Life, the Room of Creation...... Huang Quan thought silently in his heart.
The flying arrow walked over, patted Huang Quan on the shoulder, and said, "How is your injury?" If it's okay, come with me for a drink. ”
"Drinking?" Huang Quan reacted quickly, and immediately controlled the hand that was almost raised to throw the arrow out.
"Yes! Haruka became a great samurai, which was a happy event for the whole settlement, and all the adult warriors were given some wine. If it weren't for this, where would I be able to drink alcohol? ”
The whole settlement was busy, a huge bonfire was set up in the center of the arena, the women were busy preparing food, and a jar of wine was moved out of the underground warehouse and piled up around the campfire.
A whole deer was on the fire, and it was being grilled, and the golden grease dripped into the fire, causing the tongue of fire to rise to the sky. The overflowing aroma attracted the children of the entire settlement, who gathered around the campfire, staring at the roasted deer, and swallowing their saliva.
On this day, it is simply a grand festival.
And Feijian brought over a large bowl of wine and gave half of it to Huang Quan, and then he couldn't help it, and drank it clean in a few sips.
Huang Quan just tasted it, and when he saw that the bowl of the flying arrow was empty, he smiled: "I drank it so quickly, what will I drink in a while?" ”
"When it officially starts, I'll have a bowl again." Samurai and good hunters will receive more supplies than ordinary warriors, which is the most simple rule of the settlement.
Huang Quan poured half of the wine back into the bowl to Feijian, Feijian touched his head and smiled shyly, but he didn't refuse, and he couldn't refuse.
In Huang Quan's view, the wine brewed in the settlement is light and sour, and it is completely incompatible with good wine. The memory of the empire is like yesterday, and it is not used to drinking the best wine, so naturally it is not used to drinking this kind of home-brewed loose wine.
The flavor of the sake is mixed with grains and fruits, and the brewing technique is not good at all, and the selection of raw materials is also very problematic. The winemaking technology of this settlement is still quite primitive, and it is not even comparable to the Terrans who were still in the agricultural era before the interstellar age.
After drinking the wine, Flying Arrow's closeness to Huangquan increased a few points. He glanced at the central longhouse, his eyes were full of envy, and said, "Haruka, it's really good luck that I actually got the approval of the Life Stone!" When we found you, she didn't know anything. ”
"Are there few great samurai?"
Flying Arrow rolled his eyes and said, "Sometimes, I really don't know which settlement you are from. Isn't there just a small number of great samurai? For a settlement of our size, it would be remarkable to be able to produce a great samurai in a few decades. As long as there is a big samurai, it will not take a few years for the size of the settlement to increase a lot. ”
"Can't you sense the power of the Life Stone?"
"Of course, we can feel that as long as we stay in the settlement, the Life Stone will slowly increase our strength, but it is not so simple to get a response."
Huang Quan didn't speak, thinking that of course Shenghui wouldn't respond, but the Life Stone was indeed a little strange, and Shenghui wasn't so soft. It seems that there is a chance, but it is still necessary to see with your own eyes what is going on with the Life Stone.
The power of the Holy Radiance Stone in the hands of the Empire is quite violent, and in the process of receiving the Holy Radiance, even if it is the elite selected from the whole army, the mortality rate has always been high. Those who can survive are all strong and strong guys.
Soon, the carnival began, the wine jars were opened one by one, the barbecue meat was distributed to everyone's bowls like water, and beautiful maidens and young warriors sang and danced around the campfire.
Arrows had already finished their share of wine and joined the crowd dancing around the fire.
Huang Quan sat quietly, for some reason, behind the carnival in front of him, there was always a faint sadness.
At this moment, in the Creation Chamber, Haruka is in a daze, not knowing how to get the power given by the Life Stone.
The Creation Room was small, filled with milky white light, and it flowed slowly, as if it were substance.
Bathed in the light of the Stone of Life, it is like soaking in the cold animal milk, which is indescribably comfortable and silky. But the power in the light flowed through the girl's body, and it was not absorbed at all.
The Great Elder didn't know how to absorb the power of the Life Stone, and if he could understand it, he wouldn't be stuck in front of the threshold of the Great Samurai for a lifetime.
The girl tried to call for the Stone of Life, but as it had been for more than ten years, nothing happened.
She reached out and touched the light, silky and cold, but without seeping into her skin. She even tried to swallow it, but the light was not water after all, where could she swallow something?
tried all kinds of methods, but to no avail, which made her panic in her heart.
"Could it be that the Great Elder is mistaken?" With this thought, she felt that she was really not a great samurai.
The girl became frustrated, hugged her knees and buried her head in it. I don't know how long the gloomy mood lasted, she thought of Huangquan, and suddenly a flash of inspiration.
In retrospect, she was recognized as a great samurai because the Great Elder personally felt the power of her fist. Thinking of this, she held a nervous mood, and according to the method taught by Huang Quan, she punched forward.
The multiple thin lines converged into a flood of force, causing her punch to cause a slight whistling. At the moment when she threw her fist, she suddenly felt that the light seemed to begin to seep into her body, flowing like a target to the thin line, and then being absorbed.
Haruka was surprised and delighted, making sure it wasn't an illusion, and immediately threw another punch. This time the sensation was clearer and unmistakable, those thin lines were indeed absorbing the power of the light!
She didn't know what was going on in her body, and if she could see it, she would see that there were actually some special tissues inside her body. At this moment, more than a dozen body tissues are glowing slightly, pulsating constantly, and at the same time absorbing the light of the stars.
In the dead of night, the revelers have finally dispersed, sleeping, getting drunk, and there are many young men and women who are hurrying to do what they want to do.
Tomorrow, the samurai will go to war, and the hunters will have to take on the responsibility of defending their homeland. However, since there are ogres in the hunting grounds, the camp will be discovered sooner or later, so there is no need for sacrifices, and the future is also known.
And in the process of finding a new camp, it is not known how many people will be able to make it to the end.
Huang Quan was still sitting by the campfire, and at this moment the bonfire was only ashes, and the reddish light reflected his face in a flickering light. The flying arrow has already returned, and he is actually drunk, and the sum is actually only more than two bowls.
Food is limited in the settlement, and even fewer can be used to make wine, and Arrow, as a good hunter, has gained more than most people's share, and there is no more to drink.
Huang Quan looked around, his gaze swept over the houses, and the dark night forest at the edge of his vision, and there was still a strong sense of unreality.
He has experienced countless wars, how many times he has wandered on the line of life and death, and he has also killed many powerful people who seem to be invincible. No matter how desperate the situation was, he never panicked and was always calm.
However, he had never encountered such a thing, and when he woke up, it was 10,000 years later.
It was a completely foreign world to him.
A labyrinth of rainforests, giant mosquitoes, strange and ferocious beasts, and man-eaters of unknown origin.
When he was in the forest, he felt that there was a faint malice in the whole world. This malice is everywhere, and the most direct manifestation is that the speed of his recovery has slowed down. It wasn't until you entered this settlement, within range of the Life Stone, that the recovery rate began to normalize.
Huang Quan tried to move his body, and the special body containing the power of the Holy Radiant only responded to about one-third, which meant that his current strength was about one-third of his peak.
However, one-third of his strength was enough to overturn a few dragoon battalion warriors, let alone a samurai like Boulder.
Huang Quan stood up a little bored and came to a big tree.
The trunk of this tree is straight upwards with almost no forks, and the canopy at the top is high and dense, forming a ring of natural domes that protect the entire settlement. These trees are planted around the settlement, and the shrubs underneath them form a natural barrier.
As he pondered, he subconsciously tapped the trunk of the tree. Two soft sounds attracted his attention, this is obviously a tree, how did it knock out the sound of gold and stone.
