Dawn of the Grey Tower

The night is delicate on the grassland. You can think of it as noisy, because there are indeed all kinds of sounds made by insects, bats, campfires and even humans and their livestock within the range of both ears. But when you look up to see the galaxy in the sky and see the mountains and the horizon like a frame on the edge of the starry sky, the night of the grassland is quiet. This contradiction exists not only in the feelings of nature, but also between people. For example, the three heads sitting at the campfire at this time, the expression on their faces shows that their feelings are not peaceful.

“It’s very late. The shaman’s ritual should have begun.” Complained that the head of the Basil Department, his tribe and the Shale Department were led by the same leader three generations ago. After that leader died, his great The son, the second son and the youngest son led a part of the clan to live separately. The basil department is the youngest son’s tribe. Judging from the development of these years, the Shale Department, which is closer to Cangshi, has more opportunities to plunder property, and its population and military power have gradually surpassed the once comparable Basil Department, and it has become the strongest in this area. Big tribe. However, this kind of power is still some distance away from becoming the overlord of this area, so apart from the two brother tribes who are closer, no tribe is willing to vassal them.

“Be patient, my brother, give Wu Qi some time for him to win more blessings for us. Isn’t that a bad thing, isn’t it?” The head of the Shale department had broad shoulders, and his shoulders were covered in wolf skin The short cloak made is the head wolf of the nearby wolves that he independently killed in his adult life, and this thing did not happen long ago. Among the three head men, the head man named Uvir is the youngest, but his eyes are the most impressive among the three. He is the head man of the Shale Department, but anyone who has spoken with him believes He will not just be the head of the Shale department. Uville’s father once proudly declared at a banquet that his son had the potential to become Shan Yu.

Shan Yu, this title is one of the most glorious titles on the grassland, and anyone who can suffix his name is a hero in legends and stories. On the grassland, it has been a long time since I was alone. The head of the Teller Department thought about it, and his eyes were gradually eager to see Uvel. The southern lions built a strong defense year by year under the leadership of their dwarf lord. It’s not as good as before. As the oldest of the three headmen, the headmen of the Teller Department knew that it was time to change, and compared to the reckless headman of the Basil Department and their own heirs, the three of them were dead. Still prosperous, the future will be largely related to Uvel.

“Uvel is right, the shamans have always acted only on their own time. But Wu Qi did make us wait too long this time. As long as I know this, I should bring my girl in my house and let her Let ’s dance for some time. It ’s not that I boast, she dances like a swan! ”

“Okay, Old Madden started talking about his daughter again! Haha, Uvir my brother, you still marry her home earlier, lest Old Madden blow too much and let the gods in the sky believe him. If you do, then you have to rob your wife with the gods! “The head of the basil department laughed and broke the abacus. This is not to blame him, who gave the head of the Teller Department the opportunity to sell his daughter in front of Uvel. Over time, the person who spoke had not been enjoyable, but the person who listened was no longer interested.

“I have made an appointment with Uncle Madden, and I will go to Teller to meet my relatives next spring, and I hope that the friends of the basil will also appear at my wedding.” Uville did not have anything to do with marriage. What contradicts. Marriage with the Teller Department is a good thing for him now. Marriage can become a bond between the two units, and a purer blood can also help to give birth to a heir more acceptable to the clan. It is not important for Uvel to determine whether the stumbling daughter is really as good and beautiful as he said. Nomads have never pursued the tradition of monogamy. As for polygamy or polygamy, as long as they can increase their ability to survive on the grassland, it will not be a problem at all.

“Hey, it must be. But then you have to think about who will be your witness, Wu Qi’s look,” said the Basilian, who shrugged when he said, “It’s not very suitable. His appearance It ’s too much like them, the wedding hosted will not necessarily be recognized by the ancestors. ”

This is true. In addition to the tradition of only children, the shaman family to which Wu Qi belongs has an act that other nomads do not understand, that is, they marry every one or two generations and are plundered from the south. The Cangshi woman is his wife, letting her give birth to her offspring. Such a habit makes Wu Qi look much whiter than ordinary nomads in appearance, and the facial features and bones are also subtly different from the tribe. In contrast, although other prairie people will also plunder southern women, they are more often regarded as slaves or even so-called humans and animals. Such women will not be recognized even if they give birth to offspring, and they are likely to be People from the tribe threw them into the wilderness as food for wild wolves and goshawks.

“Anyway, Wu Qi is a powerful shaman. I think you know his abilities, and the ancestors have never expressed dissatisfaction with him. Therefore, it is more traditional for him to host the wedding ~ www.wuxiax.com ~ Isn’t this the reason that Uncle Rumble will feel more at ease? “On the grassland without the concept of law, tradition is the yardstick of everything. According to tradition, only the wedding hosted by the shaman, who is the spokesperson of the ancestors and other spirits, can guarantee the absolute status of the bride. Anyone who questions the legitimacy of this wedding will be considered to question the ancestors.

Mao Dun smiled a little, “It’s just what you mean. Although my daughter is excellent, I honestly don’t think she is a candidate for you to be a wife. If you want, let her be in your teeth. It ’s enough to have a place in it. As for the wife or the concubine, I wo n’t object. ”

The meaning of Madden is very clear. If Uvir has the ambition to be single, his wife of course cannot be the ordinary origin of the daughter of the headman of Teller. He will marry those who have a long history and many clan. Princess, this has nothing to do with love and responsibility, just reality. At that time, Madden didn’t want his daughter to suffer unexpectedly because she occupied an undesirable position early. There are few single wives in history who can live longer than their husbands, especially wives who were married when they were young.

Uvel opened his mouth to say something, but the figure approaching from the edge of the fire interrupted his wording. The three top men stood up and saluted the coming person. The shaman wearing a sheep skull did not say anything. Now he is not standing here as a human being. Under this starry sky, he is the embodiment of the spirits on the grassland.

“Ritual, start.”
