The elders secretly scolded the chief in their hearts after knowing it, and it was difficult for them to do anything in it, the number of people recommended by each elder is fixed, even if they don't participate, they have to let their heirs participate in the competition, if the number of heirs is small, it's okay, the elders with a large number of sons will not have any position after recommending their sons, and although the number of heirs is small, although there is a vacant position for them to operate secretly, it is actually difficult to guarantee that they will be able to seize the position of chief.

The tribes of Flores Island spread the news, and the Cham people naturally knew about it, but most people were not interested in watching those martial arts tournaments, and it was interesting to watch others fight? Everyone is a civilized person, what else do you drive? Floris's current trade has reached as far east as the island of Irian, although the current trade activities of both sides are unilateral trade of the Cham people, and the natives of these islands are isolated from the rest of the world and do not use boats to fish, so they cannot trade independently.

The tribal jousting tournament soon began, and the officials of the Cham trading post were naturally invited to witness the duel, which seemed much fairer than their own internal demonstrations, as they were witnessed, and they also wanted to show off their strength.

Naturally, the officials couldn't refuse, so they formed a small team to go to the martial arts competition, except for a few officials, the rest were police officers of the Public Security Bureau who protected the safety of the officials, and formed a small group of about twenty or thirty people to watch.

"That's a lot of people." A police officer looked around, and he sighed that he had never seen such a big scene, even when he was in China before, he had never seen so many people gathered.

"Of course." The sorcerer of the tribe was in charge of the reception, and he was very proud, and he continued, "Our tribe is prosperous, and these people are not enough for a third of our total number. The shaman would witness the birth of the chief as a witness along with the Cham people, so he volunteered to take charge of the reception.

When everyone saw the wizard, they saluted, and then spontaneously gave way for the wizard to pass.

"Please." Everyone followed the wizard to the front of the stands, and there were tables and stools in the front, which were all furniture made by the Cham people after going to the island, but then it seemed that there was too much production, so it was put on the market to sell, and then the tribe's trade team saw these and felt pretty good, so they bought it back, but they didn't expect this kind of thing to sell in the tribe, and it was sought after by everyone, and later it became a luxury product.

Of course, some people saw that these things were so valuable, so they wanted to produce them and sell them themselves, but they found that it would take a lot of time to carve the wood into this shape, and whether it was possible to make such a big tree was also a problem, so they gave up, and of course there were people who tried to imitate the structure of the stool to produce the parts, but how to connect them became a huge problem, after all, they did not know that the parts were connected by nails.

The crowd sat down, and the table was full of fruit. The first thing to do was the sacrifice that preceded the jousting tournament, and it was believed that the gods and ancestors should see the duel, because in this duel the tribal chieftain who would lead them to glory was about to be born.

The main purpose of this sacrifice is, of course, to show outsiders their strength and their economic prosperity. And this time the outsiders are only the Cham people, naturally in order to show the Cham people that they are prosperous and powerful.

As sacrifices were made by the prisoners of the tribe, which was very primitive and still used living people as sacrifices. The Cham people have naturally heard of this, after all, their country has also come from the ancient tribes to the present, before the Cham was ruled by Pengyu, the tribes within the country still have ancient sacrificial methods, of course, the living sacrifice has been canceled as early as when Da Viet controlled the Champa, at least they can't see that kind of uncivilized phenomenon.

With the appearance of the sorcerer, the great elder and others, the originally noisy crowd also quieted down, and the elders and others climbed the dueling platform, which also means that the sacrifice and the duel are about to begin, and during the sacrifice, they naturally dare not make a loud noise, this kind of behavior is considered disrespectful to the gods, although it will not be done, but it will be spurned.

"What about their tribal chieftain?" The Cham officials discussed in a low voice, although this duel was about to decide the tribal chief, but before the result came out, he, as the tribal chief, should attend such a major occasion, so that no one came.

Looking at the Cham officials discussing with Xiao Sheng, the Great Elder walked up to the VIP table and asked, "Do you have any questions about the distinguished guests?" ”

"No, no." The officials hurriedly shook their heads.

The Great Elder said, "I know what everyone is wondering about, the chief is going to participate in this martial arts competition, and he is still warming up in the audience, so he can't come to preside over it." ”

The officials suddenly realized that this product also participated in the competition, no wonder they couldn't see where others were.

The Great Elder walked back to the ring and said, "Then the sacrifice has officially begun." "With the order of the Great Elder, the bonfire was finally lit, today's sky is not very good, the sky is covered by clouds, accompanied by strong winds, hearing the order of the Great Elder, the person holding the torch is also relieved. If the fire is extinguished, then his sin is great, and this burning fire is the belief of the people of the tribe, and if it is extinguished, it will naturally be considered that the ancestors abandoned them.

But fortunately, nothing went wrong, as the bonfire was lit, the ceremony officially began, by the wizard chanting the spell, the ritual of inviting the gods, and after the wizard recited the spell, people will sing and dance to welcome the arrival of the gods and ancestors, but of course in the end they can't wait for the so-called gods to come.

Naturally, the officials of the Cham had no interest in these sacrifices, and the sacrifice to the living was too barbaric and rude for them to be in line with their status as civilized people, and they had to see this kind of sacrifice here for the sake of face.

The sacrifice time is very long, and the sun that was originally covered does not know when it shows its head, and after the sun shows its head, people are more cheerful to sing and dance, and the sorcerer above is also talking about something, but the people of Cham can not hear clearly, it may be because the singing of the people overshadows the voice of the sorcerer.
