Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Gift of Charon

The six centaurs, including Ferencze and Ronan, looked at the patterns that Eren couldn't understand in front of the stone wall with solemn faces, as if the most fascinating thing in the world was the stone wall in front of them, and nothing could distract them.

Although Matilda allowed Eren to walk freely in the land of their inheritance, Eren felt that it was better not to be overly presumptuous. Matilda saw Alan's bewildered appearance, thought for a moment, and said to Alan, "Alan, if you want, I can accompany you for a walk around the fortress." ”

"I can't ask for it, respected king of the horsemen. "Without being rude, it's best to have a little more knowledge.

They passed through the stone chamber, along the stone-paved path, and continued on, the sound of Matilda's hooves heard far and wide in the empty fortress. Alan observed the words and patterns on the walls all the way, he could discern that most of these patterns were describing some various stories about centaurs and stars, with some shallow knowledge learned in astronomy class, Alan understood a small part of the orbits of celestial bodies, but the combination of various celestial trajectories together, what they represented, Alan did not know why. As for those intricate words, Alan didn't know anything about them, these words were probably ancient magic scripts! Alan guessed in his heart.

Although Allen, who has a scholarly system, seems very ignorant at this time, it does not prevent him from remembering these unknown words deeply in his mind. The more I see and know, the more I feel that there is still a lot to learn!

"Alan, it's almost time, we're going back to get ready for the ceremony. Alen, who was immersed in the memories of these patterns and words, did not realize when Matilda had left, and it was only then that he woke up from a dream and recovered from the majestic transmission of knowledge.

In a trance, he walked out of the fortress and returned to the Forbidden Forest, where the moonlight sprinkled silver light on the branches of the trees like water. The night air is cool, fresh and with a subtle floral scent. This coolness made Allen stuffed with all kinds of patterns and words, and the brain that was about to explode calmed down, and the tense nerves gradually relaxed and gradually smoothed out.

"It's been a great weather tonight!" Matilda said in a relaxed tone.

Indeed, in this wide valley, there is not a trace of wind, only the horses perched or lying, under the shroud of this starry sky, looking up at the starry sky with satisfaction.

Alan subconsciously searched for the figures of the six centaurs, including Ferenze and Ronan, but there was no trace of them.

The bright moon was in the sky, sprinkling a bright light. The valley is slender and can only be seen in the dense jungle in the distance, where the tranquil moonlight and the shadows of the trees intertwine to make it difficult to distinguish the scenery.

At this time, the valley was very different from what Alan had seen during the day, the soft lawn in the middle had been completely replaced by the flat earth, and the lines that Alan had seen in the fortress were painted with silverstone powder, and these patterns formed a circle, but the inner lines became more incomprehensible and complicated the more inward. These patterns painted with silver stone powder glow in the moonlight. In the middle of the line is a wooden platform built by the horses out of huge wood, which has a rough and simple beauty. On the wooden platform, three logs are entwined by various vines and stick straight into the sky.

Matilda jumped high and stepped onto the wooden platform, and she raised her horse's hooves and struck the wooden platform three times, and in an instant, a majestic sound of percussion came from the wooden platform. The sound seems to be a unique way for centaurs to convey information.

Soon, a large group of centaurs appeared in the valley as an army roared in, all of their colors and sizes, but without exception, their manes glittering in the moonlight. At this moment, they stood still in the valley, staring at Matilda, the king on the high platform.

"Clansmen, we have gathered today to better explore the secrets of the stars. Our friend Alan has generously sent the Moon Gem, and although it is currently entangled in the power of the Curse, it is believed that it will be restored to its original form after being baptized by our Gift of Charon. Matilda's words were full of confidence.

As soon as his words fell, the horses who had been standing still immediately became agitated. They all seem to be excited to get the news of the Moon Gems, and they are eager to give their part to the Clan.

"Quiet, now, please stand quickly in your corresponding zodiac sign. The horses responded and quickly found their positions.

"Now, the Rite of Charon begins!" said Matilda, who raised her two forelegs high and stepped heavily on the wooden platform, repeating six times. Six loud knocks rang out in the valley, and the sound of Dada's horses' hooves could be heard again in the distance. Ferenze and the other six centaurs jumped high over the bushes and ran to the wooden platform with their heads held high. Their manes glistened in the moonlight, and they were full of spirit.

"Long live Your Majesty, the Caron warriors have been assembled, and we will unconditionally wait for Your Majesty's dispatch to go to the soup and fire. ”

Alan looked at their serious appearance, and couldn't help but be enthusiastic, and looked forward to the next ceremony even more.

"Brave Caron, the time has come for you to serve, the stars will be your help, now please be where you should be!" Matilda solemnly and solemnly.

Ferenze and the others immediately stood on the perimeter of the wooden platform, drawing six spirals of silver stone powder. Alan noticed that each of the six chosen Caron warriors had a different mane color.

"Now, the Rite of Charon begins!" Matilda shouted like a bell, and the centaurs around her immediately responded, "Hurrah, hooray, hooray!" and then all fell silent again.

Suddenly, Alan seemed to hear a low and wonderful music in the valley, it was not an illusion, it was a faint percussion, similar to the sound of a human tap dance. Alan shook his head vigorously and listened intently, the music grew louder and louder, a rough and trance-like melody.

Suddenly, Alan reacted and looked at Ferenze. At the beginning, they just gently bent their knees and struck the ground, and when they got to the back, the sound of the horses' hooves became stronger, the horses' hooves hit the ground faster and faster, and their forelimbs raised higher and higher...... The music composed of the hooves of these Dada horses also became more and more high, and gradually made people feel like a rainbow.

"Alan, please bring me the Moon Gem. Matilda looked sincere, but the plea in her brow was too much for Alan to refuse.
