Chapter Twenty-Four: The Snake Blower's Trick
The first to come up to show his loyalty was the fat man Bout Hamon, who wiped his mouth and came up with a box in his hand to give a gift.
With his hands raised above his head, he said, "Dear Lord Menes, I, Butehamun, swear before God that I will always be loyal to you, please receive my gift. ”
Menes smiled and replied, "The gods accept your vow, and Lord Menes will protect you forever!"
After saying that, he took the gift, Menes opened the gift and laughed, the gift was very valuable, a card made of gold, but the words engraved on it were actually Menes's bonds.
This guy is a thief, and he knows that the swamp project has been completed, and this is a reminder to Menes to pay off his debts!
The major nobles came up in turn to express their loyalty, and they were all the same nonsense and official words, and Menes could only answer them one by one according to the standard.
The gift may be light or heavy, but the words are not sincere!
After the nobles completed the procedure, it was the representatives of all walks of life in the city who came to offer gifts, and the process was the same.
In the end, Menes' army also sent representatives to express their loyalty, and Menes did not like the loyalty of others, but the army must be truly loyal, otherwise it would be too dangerous.
This year, the army representatives actually sent Dill because Dill had performed well in these months of training, won many awards, and Menes personally awarded him a medal.
Dill cautiously walked up to Menes with two large boxes, for fear that he would make a mistake and lose the face of the army.
Dill walked up to Menes and knelt down and said, "Honorable Lord Menes, Lord of the Holy Cat State, leader of the army, on behalf of all the warriors, I express our heartfelt wishes to you, may the gods bless you, and we will be loyal to you forever!"
After speaking, he held up one of the gift boxes and offered it to Menes.
Menes took the gift and smiled as Dill stood up and said, "Thank you for your efforts, you are warriors who defend the territory, soldiers of our people, thank you for your allegiance!"
Dill stood up and did not retreat, but held up another box and said, "Dear Lord Menes, please receive my heartfelt blessings, this is my gift to you!"
Menes frowned, this is not in accordance with the rules! It is normal for Dill to give a gift on behalf of the army, how can he give a gift privately on such an occasion? This is considered to please the commander and bribe the chief?
Menes was a little dissatisfied, but it was not easy to say anything on this occasion, so she had to accept the gift.
Dill has been training with Menes for a few months, especially worshiping his lord, and he wants to have a chance to perform, and he is very excited to be selected to give a gift to the lord this time, so he really wants to take the opportunity to please Menes, but it doesn't seem to be good!
Dill didn't seem to be happy when he saw Menice, and felt that probably the lord didn't like the gift, so he hurriedly said, "My lord, this is the most noble wine glass in my family, it is the trophy left by my grandfather, my grandfather followed the lord to fight back then, and it was a wine glass rewarded by the lord himself, I am willing to follow your left and right like my grandfather, please accept my gift!"
Menes had no choice but to smile when she heard this, and when she opened the box, she saw that it was indeed a gorgeous bronze wine glass, with the logo of the Holy Cat family engraved on it, as well as the name of Grandpa Menes, so it seemed that Dill did not talk nonsense.
Menes said happily, "Well, I accept your gift, you are going to build a meritorious feat like your grandfather!"
Say perfect, Nice pours a glass full of wine and holds it high above his head to drink with everyone.
Jett suddenly stopped and said, "Wait, my lord, you should reward us with this cup for our valiant warriors!"
Menes was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Jett meant, and looked at Dill and said with a slight deep groan, "Come, my warrior, this cup is for you!"
When Dill heard that the reward had been given to him, he hurriedly got up and took the wine glass and drank it all!
Jett looked at Deere, then at Menes and nodded!
The allegiance ceremony was finally completed, and the people in the square were already impatient and immediately began to feast.
Menes kept toasting with the surrounding nobles with a wine glass, and the nobles also returned the salute.
There are also singing and dancing performances at the scene, Menes is generally interested, busy accepting blessings and praises from others, and the sweet words are like arsenic * frost, but they are really comfortable to listen to.
The snake blower in the audience gave a show to everyone, the snake blower was tall, dark-skinned, blind in one eye, holding a flute in his hand, and carrying a large basket behind him.
The snake blower placed the basket on the ground, picked up the flute and began to play, and a group of dancers on each side of the square slowly came to the square and danced to the sound of the flute.
After a while, the lid of the big basket was opened, and three poisonous snakes crawled out of it, and the surrounding audience immediately let out a burst of boos, snake dancing is too common, every snake blower will.
Menes saw this scene and remembered Indians from another world, is this guy from India?
The boos from the audience soon stopped, and let out a heartfelt admiration, the three snakes were not ordinary swings, but quickly swam on the dancers in the venue, dancing with the music swinging and dancing with the dancers, as the rhythm continued to accelerate, the dancers also shook more violently, and the three snakes coiled tightly around the dancers.
Suddenly, three snakes opened their mouths wide and bit the dancers' shoulders fiercely, and the three dancers' whole bodies shook violently, as if they were poisoned and convulsed, and the people in the audience exclaimed.
Menes saw that this was a murder, and immediately stood up to arrest someone, Jett pressed Menes down and said with a smile, "Don't worry, my lord, this is just a trick of the snake blower." ”
Menes looked at Jett suspiciously, and then looked at the nobles in the audience, these guys didn't seem to be nervous at all, it seemed that they were countrymen who had never seen the world.
Sure enough, after the three dancers fell to the ground, a little monkey jumped out of the basket, holding palm leaves in his hand, and jumped to the dancers with the music, and actually shamelessly sprinkled a soak of urine, and there was a burst of laughter from the audience.
The dancing girl who had been doused with urine came to life immediately.
The audience burst into warm applause.
"Grass, what the hell is this trick, you don't need monkey urine to wake up if you play dead?" Menes felt a little bored.
Jett looked at Menes and said, "Hehehe...... It's a mythical story about the resurrection, but that dancing girl didn't play dead!"
"Ah, is it really dead?" Menes asked, surprised.
Didn't you say that only Jett could resurrect magic?
"Hehe......" Jett continued with a smile, "it should be said that the poisonous snake really bit the dancer, but the dancer is not dead, and the snake blower used medicine to save the dancer." ”
Menes was stunned, "The medicine is monkey urine?"
"If the monkey is just a catalyst, in fact, the medicine is already on the lips of the dancing girl, and when it encounters the monkey's urine, it enters the body, so it lives!"
"Such an evil trick?" Menes could not accept this way of saving people.
"The snake blowers are also one of the demigods, and their main abilities are medicine and beast psychics, but this person's ability is average. ”
"The Snake Blower is also a demigod?proficient in medicine and beast psychics?" Menes pondered whether to recruit this man as well.
At this moment, the snake blower made a bright flute, and the group of animals immediately jumped into the basket, and the snake blower finished his performance, and withdrew from the square with a graceful salute, and Menes immediately arranged for people to go to the snake blower, wanting to keep the people.
The celebration continued, Menes raised the wine glass and prepared to toast, the rice balls threw themselves into Menes's arms and coquettishly, Menes smiled and said, "What? The goddess has licked her feet, and now you want to have some wine, and then find an excuse to drink?"
Tang Yuan probably understood, and actually really picked up Menes's cup and drank wine.
Tang Yuan added a sip of wine, and "meowed" at Menes, suddenly Tang Yuan coughed violently, and his body quickly reddened, Jett saw that something was wrong and yelled loudly, "Poisonous!"
