Chapter 957 Observation Ceremony

After changing into a robe representing the identity of the envoy of the Saint Capital, Tokney led Alcide and five other saints to finally enter the city of the Earth Mother Tribe. Of course, before leaving, Alcide also expressed his apology to the affected Lizardman tribe. The priestess of the Lizardman Eva said it was an honor to be able to walk with the envoy of the Saint Capital.

"Let's go~ The ceremony is about to begin, I'll take you to take a good place."

Tokni pulled Caludia to the main venue like a big child who couldn't wait to show his toys in front of his friends. Caludia, who was also cheerful, also browsed the orc city with enthusiasm. Although there was no such neat and uniform plan as a chessboard like a human city, the orc architecture tended to be a grand and wild style. Here, the skeletons that were regarded as symbols of uncleanness and death by humans were also used in architecture. Of course, most of these skeletons were trophys after the orcs hunted.

The goods in orcs are naturally not as refined as in the human market. In terms of food, orcs are not as good as they imagined. Although orcs do like to eat meat, they are omnivorous creatures, as are humans, elves, and dwarves. There are stalls selling various vegetables and fruits on the market. However, the goods of orcs obviously lack some entertainment. Simply put, the goods of orcs are very monotonous, mostly things closely related to life, such as food, spices, clothing, daily necessities, etc., and there are not many luxury goods and enjoyment things, and even a vendor selling snacks can't be found along the way.

Caludia looked around like a curious child, while Tokney was more like a hospitality owner explaining some orc customs to everyone. Only Elsid in the team quietly took out the crystal magic weapon and searched. The corner of the crystal had shined with the greatest light and pointed directly to the largest building in the entire city.

The Son of Star is there!

"Tokney~ I have a question to ask you."

"Ah! Just ask casually, what's the matter?"

Elsid organized a little and asked in a vague language: "Are there any human beings besides us who come to participate in the Thanksgiving Festival?"

"In the past, the Saint City sent people to observe, but the situation in the mainland was a bit chaotic during this period. It was both a demon and an undead, so no personnel were sent here this year." Tokney shrugged.

"So have humans come to the Earth Mother tribe recently?"

"Human? It shouldn't be. Even if there are, they should be merchants who come to trade from the Kingdom of Zegus. But they usually don't stay here for a long time. Are you here looking for someone?"

Tokney blinked and stared at Elsid with some confusion: "Actually, I don't know much, I haven't been home for almost a year recently."

"Please don't care, I'll just ask casually."

Elsid was chatting with Tokney on the surface, but he thought quickly. The image of the Star Son Tifa was imprinted in his memory by Yalin before departure. Although the Star Son was taken in by the orcs, the Star Son, which looks very similar to humans in appearance, should be a very conspicuous existence among the orcs. Since he stayed in the orcs in the city, he should reveal some information no matter how hard he said.

Before Alcide could think too long, as the sound of huge drums sounded, Tokney slapped his forehead and shouted "No," then dragged everyone to the main venue of the ceremony ceremony. Along the way, Tokney directly used his clan leader's nephew to enter the main venue, and then took five "Envoyees of the Holy Capital" to occupy a good position.

"Sorry, I need to go and say hello to the patriarch. You guys watch here first, I'll come to find you later!" After relocating everyone, Tokney remembered some things and had to leave temporarily.

Seeing this Saint Warrior who came and went like the wind and did not have the calm personality of the earth like the earth, everyone smiled helplessly. At this time, the sound of ancient but magnificent music had already sounded, and the instruments used by the orcs were mostly heavy primitive instruments, among which drums of various sizes accounted for a large part. Although there was no delicate and crisp sound made by instruments such as violins, pianos, and lyres, the thick bass could further support the vicissitudes of the earth.

The silver saint Aulufi, who is proficient in music, closed his eyes slightly and listened to the music that seemed to call for the arrival of ancient times. Amid the drums, the priestesses also walked to the stage with spices and sacrifices placed in four corners, symbolizing the four directions of the earth.

Caludia poked Alcide with her finger: "What should we do now? Will we continue to watch the ceremony here?"

"If we leave now, it will be more conspicuous, at least one thing is certain." Elsid quietly raised the crystal and placed it in front of Caludia: "The Son of Star is here, in this city of the orc tribe. As long as we can be sure that the Son of Star is and will not leave, then there will be time for us to slowly find her."

“That is, we should continue to watch the ceremony now.”

Alcide nodded and put the magic weapon back in his pocket: "Yes, this kind of ritual will usually be held for several days, so we don't have to hurry for a moment now."

When the orcs wearing ritual robes walked in on the huge ritual stage holding a statue of the god of the earth, an orc maid also brought some fruits and drinks to the Saint Seiya who were sitting in the VIP seat in the audience. After so long journeys, everyone was a little tired and hungry, but they also ate a little with reserve. Among the five, only Caludia, who was careless in character, ate without hesitation, and seemed to be preparing to solve this meal as supper.

The orc dancers on the ritual stage also came to the stage. The brown sacrificial robe represented the soil of the earth, the red sacrificial robe represented the lava and the blood of the earth, and the emerald green sacrificial robe represented the hair of the forest and the earth. The orc dancers danced the gratitude dance dedicated to the gods to the music. The dance full of primitive wild aura brought a strange style to infect the atmosphere on the scene.

Even if the saints who do not understand the sacrificial process can also understand the meaning of these dances, which is to praise and thank the earth for bringing new life to the world and also serve as the home for the final destination of life. The orcs believe in a doctrine that is close to the semi-druid. Although the orcs believe in the god of the earth and are grateful for everything that the earth brings to them, compared with the emphasis on the balance of nature in the druid teachings, orcs focus more on the competitive instinct of nature's sorrows, and in the eyes of the orcs, the survival of the fittest is higher than the balance of all things.

Simply put, the definition of natural rules by the elf druid is that when the balance is broken, it is better to hunger yourself than hunt, otherwise the complete collapse of natural balance will bring more things to the future than hunger. The orcs define natural rules as long as I eat enough, there is no need to do unnecessary hunting and cause waste, but before I eat enough, I must hunt more prey to fill my stomach.

The definition of natural rules by humans is that I am full but I still want to continue hunting, not why it is just because it is fun┉┉

While the Saints were watching the ritual-style ceremony on the stage, Tokney, who had just run back to greet the patriarch of the Earth Mother tribe, was scratching his head and returning to the ceremonial seat.

Is it because I have been away for too long and I am not used to the rules in the tribe?

Tokney recalled with some confusion that he had just used the teleportation array of Zegus Kingdom to return to the mysterious grassland last night. After the Thanksgiving Festival, my aunt was too busy to even find time to see her. But after finally seeing her, she finally had a hasty look at her, and she just greeted her politely for a moment and didn't dare to disturb her anymore.

As the head of the gratitude sacrifice, the aunt of the gratitude sacrifice must attend the speech, and also hold some rituals with her own hands. I am really embarrassed to disturb her for too long, and after thinking about it, I don’t seem to have much to say to my aunt. However, my aunt is also busy taking care of a little orc girl, and from the girl’s outfit, she seems to be the priest who recites prayers for the God of the Earth today and planted a holy tree at the gratitude sacrifice. Originally, the biggest and most important ritual of the gratitude sacrifice should have been performed by the highest-ranking priest in each tribe, or even the clan leader. Originally, Tokni thought that even if the head of the gratitude sacrifice was not personally performed, the priestess of Tiyama should be responsible for it, but he did not expect to hand it over to a child who seemed to be underage.

Although she is still a child, and although there are also petite figures among orc women, as an orc, this girl is a little too petite!

Tokney couldn't help but recall the little girl I saw before, wearing a priest's robe and with a prayer makeup on his face, which gave people the cuteness of a child as a child pretending to be an adult. Although she didn't know who she was, she should love her very much when she looked like a clan. In fact, this is not bad. Tokney recalled that since the disaster caused by the extraordinary ten years ago, his aunt rarely showed concern for others, because the only thing she cared about was the tribe.

"But I really didn't expect that even Marcias of the Blood-Snap Tribe came. Alas, after so many years, I still haven't used to his dressing. Even though such a violent guy insists on pretending to be harmless, I really don't know what he is thinking!"

Tokney muttered, and when he heard the music coming from outside that the ceremony had reached the next stage, Tokney quickly ran and soon returned to the ceremonial hall before the priest prayer ceremony began.

"Ha, let you wait for a long time!"

After returning to the seat, Tokni smiled and said with a smile. When he saw the fruits and vegetables placed on the table, he picked them up and ate them without hesitation: "How about it, are you still used to our orc sacrifices?"

"It's pretty good, giving people a unique style charm. To be honest, I'm really making a profit by being able to sit in this good position to observe."

Tokni happily patted Caludia's back: "It's the most important part of the ceremony soon. I can reveal a secret to you. The priest who was responsible for conveying the prayer to the God of the Earth during the ceremony is a very cute girl."

"Why, you fell in love with her?" Caludia was also infected by Tokney's atmosphere and half-jokingly patted him.

"Although it's very cute, it's too young to my liking."
