When the war ended, Yafamur, a priest of the steppes, was presiding over the ritual of sacrificing the dead soldiers. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The families of the deceased were less sad, on the contrary, their faces were filled with joy and joy.

"Why do some of you steppe people die with a smile on their faces?"

Aronia asked the patriarch Lurutam directly on the side, she was really curious about this.

"You'll find out in a minute. ”

The one who replied was Hung Qi, who looked at the grand ceremony in front of him with anticipation, and almost all the Lulu people participated, and among them, he also saw some of the warriors who exuded a strong aura but were not the ones he had seen before.

A steppe nobleman with a family, right?

Those people's eyes seemed to be exactly opposite to Hong Qi, and they didn't deliberately avoid it, but the other party's eyes seemed to become more gloomy.

And Hong Qi smiled mockingly when he saw the other party treating him like this, as if he was mocking their incompetence.

Don't you want the steppe priests to die? Don't you want us foreigners to die? Don't worry, I'm alive and well, but you're in a very bad situation.

Hong Qi's expression revealed such emotions, and he didn't know if they felt it, but the other party's eyes became more fierce and sharp.

However, all this is just a secret competition, and everyone maintains a serious attitude during the ceremony, which is the best respect for the deceased.

At this point, the steppe priests began to utter prayer-like prayers, which were used only when mourning the dead.

"The wind, the sunshine, the grassland gave us birth, and now the children of the grassland will return to the embrace of the grassland again. ”

"All things must go through reincarnation, and the children of the grassland return to the embrace of the grassland through reincarnation. ”

"We, the sons of the grassland, must live freely, not only for the sake of the father, but also for the brothers and sisters who sacrificed for freedom!"

"The grassland will exist forever! No matter how great the flame is, it will not be able to destroy the grassland! No matter how strong the wind is, it will not destroy the grassland! The grassland will exist forever! The sons and daughters of the grassland will also exist forever!"

These words were recited in the ancient steppe language, and strangely it seemed that no one else had learned the language, and when they listened to it, their eyes were blank, but the expression on their faces was full of stability and enjoyment.

Even Hong Qi and his party, who couldn't understand this ancient grassland language, showed similar expressions, but Hong Qi was an exception, and he understood.

"It's coming. ”

He said softly, and the expression on his face became a little expectant, expecting a miracle to appear in the next moment.

"What is coming..."

Just as the elf asked, a green mist suddenly appeared in front of her, but the next moment these mist converged into a river-like existence and flowed to everyone's side, and everyone heard an extremely special voice while flowing.

Constantly disturbing their hearts makes people think of all kinds of good things, and at the same time, they also have a lot of hallucinations when this strange being passes by them, and beautiful events appear again, but this time the protagonists are not themselves, but those who have passed away.

With voices and images that are difficult to distinguish between reality and fiction, eventually all of this disappears when the sound of prayer disappears.

"What is this?"

The elf asked curiously, and at the same time she saw a strange scene appear, only to see that the steppe warriors who had died had actually begun to turn into dust and disappear, and the same disappeared beings were the knights from the Templar, who also became dust and nourished the earth.

"This is the custom of the grassland peoples, ground burial, but this is the real sense of ground burial. ”

Looking at everyone's puzzled expressions, Hong Qi explained loudly, and at the same time, his expression also appeared a rare solemn appearance, as if his expression was a custom of respecting the grassland people.

There is indeed a cycle between life and death, but can this cycle be changed, and how does it happen? I want to know, this is what I should think about as a mage.

The mystery of life and death is one of the ultimate pursuits of all mages, knowing that even some beings who have achieved divine status cannot eventually resurrect people, and this kind of authority that even gods cannot control naturally becomes the final idea of wisdom for mages, looking forward to the day when they can rely on wisdom to bring back the dead.

"Then, why are those people treated like this?"

Gordon was asking the knights from the Templars, and if such a death was good for the steppe peoples, how could they be allowed to die such a good way?

"It's still different, but I'll ask him to explain it to you later, I don't really know this part. ”

While speaking, he had a similar guess in his heart, but it was better to ask the person concerned when he was uncertain.

At the end of the ceremony, all the dead returned to the grassland, and Hong Qi felt that the small grass around him, which was usually imperceptible, began to have another life, as if he had really absorbed those people as nourishment.

"If you have any questions to say, I'll be happy to answer them. ”

At this time, the steppe priest Yafamur came to the side of Hongqi and his party, and at the same time Lurutam said something similar.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't speak at the ceremony just now, thank you Brother Hong. ”

"You're welcome, I know that you also follow the so-called class system during major ceremonies, and when the priest speaks, no one else can speak without permission, am I right?"

"That's right! It's really my friend! Clever!"

The class system affects many aspects of the steppe peoples, especially in major activities such as sacrifices, and the influence of classes is the most visible, and their existence as outsiders is in some ways outside the system, so their speeches between them will not be noticed.

Of course, Hong Qi and his party were also soft-spoken when they spoke, after all, it seemed a little inappropriate to speak loudly on such an important occasion.

"Okay, what's the problem? I just saw Miss Aronia's puzzled expression. ”

Yafamur still looks like an old man, smiling and asking the other party like a kind old grandfather.

"Even those knights from the Templar, why do they bury them on the ground?"

"Oh, so that's the case, our people have always recognized enemies who can fight us, but they don't have any fond memories when the ceremony is performed. ”

"The soul will stay for a period of time before the body dies, and the ground burial is a way to let those souls who are unwilling to leave return to the embrace of the grassland, and use good things to return them to the kingdom of God of the Earth Father, as for these people with different beliefs, I think their souls should also have other ways to go to the corresponding kingdom of God, right?"

"But how do I sound like you want to do something with their life force? No, not just life force, but also faith power, right?"

After hearing everything, Hong Qi couldn't help but smile and ask Yafa Mur, and the other party smiled in return.

"The birth of the spirit of the grassland really needs the power of life, as well as the faith of this world, their faith and the power of faith are the best nourishment, why don't I use it?"

"Okay, I know what you mean. ”

After listening to the other party's admission, Hong Qi felt that it was very reasonable, after all, they were also predators, and once they failed, all their things would not belong to them, and this kind of use was just an act of compensation in his opinion.

"How long will it take?"

"Not sure, but according to the oracle, it should be two weeks, and a new Prairie Spirit will be born, what about you, when are you going to do what you want to do?"

"You'll know after that, I'm going to be making a little bit of a change in the next few days, trust me, it's going to be a little better. ”

"Whatever it is, it seems to me that there should be no so-called conflict of interest between the two of us, am I right?

"Hey, didn't you already know, but I'd be afraid to say that you'd betray us halfway. ”

The meaning of the other party's direct piercing is clear to both parties, and what Hong Qi said is just a joke.

In the following time, Hong Qi did not perform an alliance ceremony with the patriarch Lulu Tamu, and the object of the alliance surprised all the steppe people, and that was Yafamul.

One was a patriarch and the other was a priest, but the meaning of the alliance between the two sides was very different.

"Does this young man really think of himself as a thing? He actually has the audacity to have a friendship ritual with a dignified priest of the prairie!"

"Yes, but that person seems to be quite powerful, I heard that in the end he went directly to kill the enemy's transcendent, and brought back the opponent's head. ”

"Hey, it's not the steppe priest who made the move, otherwise how could he be a mortal to deal with the extraordinary?"

"Aren't you mortal too?"

"Ahem, I mean, he's still a long way from the transcendental, and in short, I'm against it. ”

Similar conversations continued to spread among the Lulu people, from commoners to nobles and even royalty, and at the same time, Hong Qi was dressed up at this time, using the costumes of the steppe peoples, but he used some extra ornaments to cover up the ordinary clothes.

What a hassle...... Luckily, I didn't have to show my belly, otherwise I would have been exposed.

The second form of the rational face allows him to disguise himself from a penguin to a human, but the belly is as white as a penguin, which makes him very happy, missing a beak, and glad that the part that becomes a penguin is not the entire lower body.

Although when I said that I was a monster, the thing was about the size of a tail......

After dressing, Hong Qi came to the venue where the alliance ceremony was held, in fact, it was an alliance that was actually a friendship ceremony between Hong Qi himself and Yafamul.

But when Hong Qi, who came to the venue, saw the clothes around him, he was stunned.

"Hey, isn't this our ally Hong Qi, why are you staying here?"

It was the patriarch Lulu Tamu who greeted Hong Qi, the patriarch who likes to join in the fun, decided to become the master of ceremonies for the ceremony today, normally speaking, the ceremony of making friends with foreign clans should be the grassland priest as a witness and master of ceremonies, but the person who became a friend today happens to be the grassland priest, so the position of the master of ceremonies will let him take the position.

But Hong Qi was not stunned because of this incident.

"Scabies...... Sorry, I'd like to ask, it's just an alliance ceremony, and it needs to be done with this...... Gorgeous?"

In fact, the two words gorgeous have been very restrained, and it should really be the joy of the whole scene.

The grassland people love red and green, red represents blood is equal to life, and green is the color of the grassland, and now all kinds of red, red, green and green items are placed here to make him very embarrassed.

If other people came to see it, they would mistake it for a wedding ceremony, right?

I wanted to complain, but he endured it, after all, the culture between the two sides is inherently different, and he understands this.

But soon, Hong Qi couldn't bear it anymore.

"Hung Wai! Are you willing to swear by the greatest being in your heart that you will share the weal and woe of this alien from Yafamur, and become eternal brothers regardless of life and death, regardless of wealth or poverty, regardless of status?"

You're a penguin! This is obviously a wedding vow!

The spit index was full, but for the sake of the overall situation, he endured it.

"I ...... Willing. ”

Gritting his teeth and saying these words, especially when he saw that Gordon had laughed so much that he couldn't get up, he knew that the other party also recognized that this kind of ceremony seemed to have some similarities with marriage.

"Nayafamur, are you willing to swear by the true name of the Earth Father, the god of the steppe, that you will share the weal and woe with this alien of Hongqi, regardless of life and death, regardless of wealth or poverty, regardless of status, and become a brother who can fight for each other's lives?"

Speaking of this, Hong Qi couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yafamur, at this time, he actually strangely changed back to his youthful appearance, probably using magic to temporarily return his face to his youth, with his formal priestly robes, and ritual attire.

It's like a bride......

Hong gave up, anyway, he had already finished saying these words, anyway, the vast majority of this group were aliens, he admitted it.

"I do. ”

"Alright, now please each of you put your own blood in your bowl. ”

With that, Lurutam took out a bowl and a dagger, and Hongqi first let his blood flow, then Yafamur cut a wound with the dagger and bleed into the bowl, and finally Lulu Tamu took out the wine and mixed them.

"Swear by blood!"

Shouting loudly, the two of them finally drank the bowl of liquid, which was the most psychologically burdensome action in the whole process for Hong Qi, you must know that the previous ones really scared him very much.

The ceremony ended quickly, and the rest of the Lulu people who had come to watch were gone, leaving only Hong Qu and his party, the patriarch, and the priest.

"From now on, the Lulu are officially allied with you, I don't know what your name is?"

"Make an alliance in my name, and you'll know our power later. ”

The first stronghold of the Temple of Magic Orders in the world of Flo was born.
