A few days later, on a sunny noon, two Korsun men with burdens appeared outside the walls of the town of Manniu.

"Stop! This is the territory of the Red Pavilion, who are you?" Cruise stood at the top of the city, picked up an iron horn and yelled. His voice was already loud, and after the blessing of the iron horn, it was like the roar of a demonic beast, which frightened the two of them into trembling.

It was Agung and Achai who came.

After several rounds of decision-making, hesitation, and regret, they finally had the courage to come and see.

But they could not understand how the small village that those who had fled had turned into a castle: the tall and strong walls were full of majestic defenders, and a fierce canine general glared at them with a fierce look.

On the way, the two of them also prepared a lot of good words, and they were already frightened out of the clouds by Cruise's roar. The stumbling mouth could only squeeze out a few words: "We are civilians, real civilians." ”

Saying that, they hurriedly unwrapped their burdens and revealed a goat's leg, "This is the prey, the gift of meeting." ”

A low trumpet sounded from the city walls, military drums sounded in unison, and the tall gates slowly opened to both sides. Forty guards in scaly armor, armed with large black steel shields and steel honor guards at their waists, marched out of the city gate in a neat procession, stepping on the beat of drums and stepping on both sides of the city.

This honor guard is naturally the result of Lydia's training in the past few days.

The so-called "pre-battle etiquette", which was always scorned by Buxiao and thought was boring, deeply shocked the two Korsons.

Cruise walked out of the city gate majestically, holding his head high and said, "Welcome to the territory of the Red Pavilion." ”

"This is the village where I grew up, but it's not anymore." The young man led the two Korsons into the camp, "The villagers must have been killed by your men. ”

Achai and Agung were so frightened that they almost went into cardiac arrest.

"Don't worry, I've heard that you're not murderers." The young man seemed to smile again, but no one knew what was hidden behind his smile.

Agung cautiously accompanied the smiling face: "It's a pity, it was the massacre caused by the ritual of the three elders. ”

"Oh? What is the ceremony? The young man clenched his palms, but still struggled to control his emotions.

Agung and Achai glanced at each other and decided to confess: "After our belief in the god Baham guided us to come here three years ago, the three elders suddenly announced that they had received the guidance of the oracle and were able to control the demonic beasts. In a demonstration of their strength, they led the Guards to slaughter two neighboring tribes...... And here......"

The rhetoric of the two was very consistent with the result of the non-smiling interrogation, and the young man took a deep breath and calmed down, "The blood debt is naturally to be paid in blood." But don't worry, I will recognize the creditor and will not implicate the innocent. ”

Young men lead them through villages, which are technically the size of a town.

Several dilapidated houses in the center of the town were bulldozed to create a beautiful square. Four particularly spacious avenues extend from the center of the square, connecting the entire city. The avenues extend into pathways, each with a flat concrete path in the middle, lined with gravel green barriers and wide sidewalks.

Following the sidewalk, a neat goose-yellow house has risen from the ground. These seven- and eight-storey houses have a staggered façade separated from the sidewalks by low walls. Many people have moved into the buildings, and some of them have dried their clothes outside the windows.

The houses on the first floor facing the street have been turned into shops, and in order to cope with the following rainy season, they have designed wide canopies outside their facades.

"These are the first residences that have already been moved into." "In the future, there will be about seven of these housing clusters, which are called 'communities'. Of course, I don't know what a 'region' is. ”

It was supposed to be a joke, but the people of Korsun, who had called the cave their home, were so amazed at all this that they forgot to laugh together.

As they spoke, they came to the chapel of the past, "This is where we have met our friends temporarily, and the princess has named it 'Embassy.'" ”

Originally used as a storehouse, the chapel has been refurbished and temporarily divided into several guest lounges, a larger meeting room and a smaller negotiation room.

"Our leader is out hunting," the young man motioned for the two to sit down, and Skobin, who had been promoted to head chef, brought tea and food, "You two have traveled a long way, so you might as well have some snacks first." ”

"Dim sum?" The two of them looked embarrassed, because in the Kolsun tribe, dim sum refers to the internal organs of an alien person. But by the time they looked at the contents of the plates, all doubts had been dispelled.

"Oh my God, this looks so special," Agung fearlessly reached out and grabbed one, "Look, this shape looks like a sheep!" ”

Achai carefully observed this white food, which looked like a cute animal and exuded an attractive fragrance. I took a gentle bite, but it was sweet and glutinous, and there seemed to be a faint taste of gravy inside.

"Oh my God, this is so delicious!" Agung stuffed his mouth full of cheeks and muttered, "What kind of earthly delicacy is this?" ”

"This is the princess's secret recipe, called ......" Skobin hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to optimize the title of "White Rabbit Bag" to "Sheep Bag".

"Ahh Argonne shouted, "Please tell me how this is made!" ”

While Agung and Skobin were discussing the buns intensely, Achai was still looking at the young man nervously.

After all, it is the revenge of the extermination, although he is not a "creditor", but he is still nervous to the point of hair.

However, it is not a solution to always stare at each other, and Achai had to find a topic, "You just said that the leader is going to ...... Hunted...... What does that mean? ”

It was a strange question, and the young man looked at him suspiciously: "Hunting...... It's hunting. Kill monsters or beasts, eat meat and skin them. Don't you have to hunt?"

"No, no, no, we hunt too, and I'm a hunter too." Ah Guess opened a stupid topic, so he could only kneel and chat, "I mean: your leader hunts himself, is it for what ceremony?" ”

"He can't be idle." The young man shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "He doesn't seem to have any other skills than to kill living things." ”

"Isn't the chief supposed to accept the offerings of the tribe?" Agung has suddenly returned from the world of food.

"Offerings?" The young man was stunned by the unfamiliar word.

"That's right, like fresh game, the best hides, the first daughter of every family, and so on." Agung casually ate another bun.

The young man had just taken a sip of tea and squirted out with a pop!

"Prey, hides...... And daughter?" The young man wondered if his ears had misheard something from excessive sadness.

Agung nodded indifferently, as if all three had the same attributes.

The young man's tongue is knotted: "Offering...... Daughter...... What is the meaning? ”

Agung and Achai looked at each other, "It is the child born in each family, the female, the first, who contributes to the leader when he becomes an adult." ”

The young man asked in astonishment, "...... you Would you like to? ”

This was perhaps the first time they had been asked "Would they have liked it", and the eyes of the two Korsons were confused.

Ah Chai looked at Agung, "Is it okay if you don't want to?"

"How do I know?" Agung scratched his head, "I thought I had to wait for her to be returned." ”

The young people couldn't pick up the topic at all, and when they were about to talk about it to death that day, suddenly the trumpets sounded on the city wall outside. The young man smiled with relief: "Great, don't laugh back." ”

When the three of them walked out of the door, they saw seven alpacas struggling to drag a special wooden cart more than three meters wide into the city.

Just as Agung and Aroi were about to sigh at the pomp and circumstance of the leader of the Red Pavilion, they found that there was no leader on the wooden cart, only a dozen tall demonic boars were lying there, but a dwarf was sitting on the prey with a sledgehammer in his hand, panting.

The two watched as the vehicle pulled into the city gate, and then watched the city gate slowly close, and finally couldn't help asking, "What about your leader?"

"The ...... who led the alpaca in front" The young man looked at him without smiling, and suddenly hesitated.

Wouldn't it be too embarrassing to introduce this dirty and smelly leader covered in demonic boar viscous plasma to them?
