Chapter 45: Memorabilia of the Swamp Tribe
In hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of swamps, the total population of the lizardmen is less than 100,000, scattered into more than 50 tribes of all sizes, each tribe has a large range of hunting grounds for obtaining food and living materials, so although the life of the lizard people is always in a relatively dangerous state, they will never worry about food and clothing. However, due to the large scope of the hunting grounds, the tribes are far away from each other, except for the contact through the temple, there is very little direct contact between the tribes, and many hunters have been to a few tribes that are relatively close to each other at most, and the people of some distant tribes do not know each other, let alone the outside world. As for some large tribes, due to the large population and larger hunting grounds, the distance between the tribes is greater, even if the powerful hunters run fast, it often takes a day or two to reach the next tribe, and the long distance also increases the probability of danger, and the hunters whose strength has not yet reached the golden level are prone to misfortune.
However, the swamp tribe and the scale tribe do not have this concern, although these two tribes are both large tribes, but the distance between the tribes is only five or six hours away, and the range of hunting grounds mainly spreads to the other side, so the two tribes have more exchanges and closer relationships, if it were not for their own ancestors, it is likely that the two tribes would have merged long ago, but even if they are not merged in form, in fact, they are not much different from merging, children's education, hunting planning, the two tribes are carried out together, in the eyes of other tribesmen, even if they are the same tribe, there is nothing wrong with itγ
Declined the kind invitation of the two legendary hunters of the Eversack Tribe. The group of seven did not join them for the first banquet after the hunt. Lizardfolk live by hunting, and hunting is one of the most important affairs of a tribe, once the big hunt is victorious. After obtaining a large amount of meat, a ceremonial feast, or small sacrifice, was held on the spot, and the best game was offered to the gods as a sacrifice to thank Artemis, the goddess of the hunt. The member who contributed the most to the hunt was given one of the hind legs of the sacrifice, which symbolized sharing the table with the gods. Share the same prey together, for the lizardmen who worship Artemis. It is the supreme glory.
However, although this is theoretically the case, those experienced and powerful hunter seniors often give up opportunities to juniors. They won't compete with those juniors, and this has become a common habit among the various tribes of the lizardmen. So, when Grannell of the Swamp Skull tribe told everyone that they hoped that everyone could attend the banquet and symbolically share a hind leg together, although the old lizardmen habitually did not make their intentions clear, Pannis, who was familiar with the customs of the lizardmen, immediately guessed that the hunters were going to give them the highest honor. After he explained it to Catherine, Catherine refused without thinking about it, and the knight maiden had a good reason. Even the lizardmen themselves are unwilling to snatch the glory of their juniors, six outsiders on their side, and they are also a demigod and a group of legends. But it's too humiliating to snatch it from those gold and silver hunters.
However, while her reasons were good, Grannell's reasons were even stronger, and the participation of the Adventure Group in the battle saved the lives of a large number of hunters, and it was clear that no one else could compare to their contributions. If you don't give this honor to someone in the adventure group, but to a hunter. Then it is no longer an honor but a shame, and a shame for a lifetime. During the dispute, Pannis simply proposed that Galantis was also in a hurry to go home to visit his mother anyway, and the sooner he returned, the better, so he simply used this as an excuse not to even attend the banquet, and left directly to return to the Scales tribe. The old lizard Grannell couldn't keep it, so he had to agree to everyone's departure, and before leaving, he also gave one of his most cherished monster fangs to Catherine, who was the head of the group, as a gift, the fangs were the teeth of the old hunter's first prey, and he had been by his side for almost two hundred years, and the old man took this as a reward for the friendship of the adventure group, and Catherine had no reason to refuse, so she had to accept this souvenir.
Leave the hunters' temporary residence and enter the hunting grounds of the Swamp Tribe. Due to the fact that a hunt has just ended, the large and medium-sized magical beasts in the vicinity of the hunting ground have disappeared, according to Galantis, now is the safest time in this area, whether it is for other small magical beasts, or for weaker tribesmen, except for the danger of the environment, there is no need to worry about the ambush of the demonic beasts. Because of safety, the small monsters in other areas of the hunting ground will migrate to the vicinity, and in less than a year, there will be a large number of weak monsters or beasts in this hunted area to gather and breed, and the increased number can provide sufficient food for the beasts that also migrated in, so that the number of beasts will also increase rapidly, so that this hunting ground will soon be able to regain its former vitality, and even the number of prey will exceed before the hunting.
"I can't believe that you would plan so carefully. After listening to Galantis's introduction, Catherine exclaimed: "I always thought that hunters were just hunting at will, but I didn't expect to have such a complicated plan for the hunting ground, I'm really sorry, I have always underestimated your race before." β
"Hiss, it's okay, we're all used to it. Galantis said indifferently: "There are still people who think that we are savages, hissing, eating raw meat, living in the open air, and not wearing clothes, hissing, how is it possible, hahaha." β
Catherine looked at the lizardman lady's outfit and felt that there seemed nothing wrong with those people, at least in the matter of not wearing clothes. Lizardmen have few costumes on them, both men and women, with only a sleeveless fur vest on the upper body and a short fur skirt on the lower body, of course, this is also related to their body structure and the hot environment. However, the knight girl wisely did not express her inner thoughts, laughed dryly, and changed the topic: "A large hunt like this time, hundreds of large demonic beasts, there should be a lot of edible parts, if you store it for too long, won't it deteriorate in such a hot weather? Even if it is smoked or pickled, it is impossible to leave it for too long." β
"Hiss, we have a unique way, hehehehe. Galantis said proudly: "Wrap the fresh meat tightly in the skin of Gilry, hiss, and then sink into the swamp, which is the unique preservation method of our whispering swamp, hiss, can make the food last for three years without spoiling, and even the meat quality will not change much." Hiss, sizzle, much better than you humans keep it fresh. β
"I'd suggest speeding it up. Pannis suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two ladies: "Your mother is already in a hurry, urging us, if you don't hurry up, I guess she will run out to catch us." "To be continued
