Lord Highlander

  Chapter 41 40. Ceremony (Part 1)

The valley is located on a fault zone in Ganda Er Mountain. The widest part of the valley is less than two kilometers, and the narrowest point is only more than 30 meters. Both sides of the valley are cliffs with a drop of tens of meters. The north of the valley is The settlement of the Aboriginal tribes in Handanal County.

  The dense forest hides this valley very well. Even if you look down from the top of the mountain, it is difficult to find this valley among the dense trees. Nearly a thousand indigenous people live in seclusion in this valley.

  The aboriginal dwelling in Handanal County is a wooden house about half a meter above the ground.

  The mountains are humid and rainy, and the thatched huts built on the ground will soon become moldy and eventually rot completely.

   Only by erecting the wooden house so that the bottom of the house can also be ventilated can such a wooden house last longer.

The roof is made of sun-dried banana leaves, and the two ends of the banana leaves are tied to the wooden frame. These wooden houses generally have no walls. Most of the wooden houses have strips of thatch hanging from the roof, like a series of curtains. When the wind blows, these hanging thatch will sway with the wind.

  These wooden houses are built on the sloping mountains in the north of the valley, but they look patchwork.

  …

  Baijialiu swordsman brought the second team of fighters to the indigenous tribe. The purpose of coming here this time is to visit the great wizard Inuoyatila in the tribe.

  The reason why the indigenous hunters accepted the swordsman of Bacalel was also those indigenous hunters who were persuaded by the great wizard Inoyatila.

  Walking into the village, most of the aborigines you see in the village are women in grass skirts, sitting or standing in the wooden house, looking out curiously.

There are still some fish bones hanging on the beams of the wooden house. They should be the Tim fish that the second team hunted by the river. After the soldiers cut off the best part of the fish, these fish bones After being divided into small pieces by the indigenous women, they were transported back to the village.

The aborigines here have oily yellow skin like beeswax, their pupils are mostly dark green or light green, and their hair is basically tied into fine braids. Most of the aboriginal hunters have bald heads. These Handanar County In the eyes of He Boqiang, the aboriginal women are not beautiful, they are full of greasy feeling, and many women with aboriginal children on their backs look more like two dangling oilcloth bags on their chests.

  The indigenous girl who brought the second team here followed the team into the village and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

  The indigenous children in the village were a little shy and timid. When they saw outsiders entering the village, they all got into the wooden houses on both sides and refused to come out.

The house of the indigenous great witch Ino Yatila is located at the highest point of the indigenous village. Three circular pavilion-style buildings are closely connected. The wooden houses on the left and right sides are slightly smaller. Used for receiving guests.

  He Boqiang followed the second team. There were some indigenous girls sitting on the steps of the wooden house. These girls were generally very thin. They were the most daring of the indigenous people.

The Grand Wizard Ino Yatila is an elderly woman. Her loose skin and missing teeth make it hard to guess her age. The swordsman walked to the bottom of the steps of the wooden house, and said a word in the native language to Baikalie.

Her voice was hoarse and very steady, and she stared at the swordsman Bacarel very intently, but He Boqiang, like the other soldiers of the second team, could not understand the native language, so she could only stand aside like a silly bird .

  The great wizard let the swordsman Baikary and the second team of fighters into the big wooden house.

   There is a pit in the middle of the big wooden house, and a bonfire is lit inside, and everyone sits around the pit.

At this time, the indigenous girl came out from nowhere, took the sizzling crock pot from the bonfire in the pit, and threw a lot of crushed licorice and other herbs into the crock pot and boiled it for a few minutes. It made the big wooden house full of weird smells.

He Boqiang thought that someone was sick, and the smelly decoction in the crock was a decoction for curing diseases. Unexpectedly, after cooking for a while, the indigenous girl brought back some wooden cups and gave them to the second people sitting around the pit. The small group of soldiers, the aboriginal girl blinking her big eyes, made it hard to refuse.

  So a row of silly birds sat in the big wooden house with strange-smelling decoctions, not knowing what they were supposed to do.

"Her name is Anas Tasia Molly, but you can call her Molly in the imperial language. She can understand this word. She is the granddaughter of the Ino Yatila wizard and the youngest of this tribe. Of course, the prerequisite for her to inherit this tribe is that she must become a wizard." Swordsman Bacarel introduced the native girl to the soldiers of the second team.

  The soldiers of the second team looked at each other in blank dismay, not expecting that this young aboriginal girl had such a prominent status.

  He Boqiang just felt that the girl Molly was more casual in the big wooden house, and he didn't expect that she was the granddaughter of the great wizard.

  Swordsman Bacarel took out two Roman swords and placed them in front of Wizard Inoyatila as a gift.

  Wizard Inoyatila seemed very happy, and ordered the two weapons to be put away.

   In indigenous tribes. The standard weapon of the Grimm Empire is the most popular thing.

  Speaking of this, these two Roman swords were borrowed from Suldak by the swordsman Bacarel.

  Subsequently, the swordsman Bacarel began to talk with the great wizard Inoyatila in the native language.

  The great wizard Ino Yatila sat cross-legged on the wooden floor, nodding from time to time.

The main purpose of Bacarel Swordsman's visit this time is to discuss the matter of jointly dealing with the evil spirits' gate, but the soldiers of the second team are a little confused. usefulness!

  The old face of the great wizard Ino Yatila has not fluctuated much. She is getting older, and she is a little drowsy sitting there.

  He Boqiang took a sip of the medicinal soup in the cup, and it was not as bad as he thought. Although the taste was a bit weird, it was very refreshing.

For the soldiers of the second team, the only thing that attracted their attention in the big wooden house was the girl Molly who was shuttling back and forth in the big wooden house, with her round long legs dangling in front of everyone's eyes, Augustus He even spilled the soup in his hand on the armor.

  The girl Molly hid behind the great wizard Ino Yatila and pursed her lips and laughed.

   Swordsman Bacarel gave Augustus a hard look.

  The great wizard then whispered something to the native girl, and then the native girl ran out.

   Not long after, dozens of indigenous hunters gathered outside the big wooden house.

They sat down on the ground under the shade of the tree outside the big wooden house. At this time, the big wizard Inoyatila walked out of the big wooden house, stood on the steps of the big wooden house, and said a series of words to these indigenous hunters. They bowed down to the great wizard.

The girl Molly came out of the wooden house next to her holding a clay pot. When she passed in front of the indigenous hunters, the indigenous hunters took out a bamboo stick from the pot one after another, but the indigenous hunters who got the bamboo sticks It doesn't seem to have any special expression.

   "Hey, what do you think they are doing?" Red Sox whispered to Augustus.

  Augustus stretched his neck and looked outside carefully, and said, "It seems to be drawing lots!"

  Red Sock also stretched his head out and said, "Did you say you won the lottery, and you want to go with us to eradicate that door of evil spirits?"

   After hearing this, Augustus said in agreement, "Don't say it, I think what you said makes sense!"
