Chapter 14 Island Animal Husbandry (Part 2)
Six hours after going out to sea, Annien, Guganda, Messel and Kagot came to this island and surrounded it. The island was not big, and it was 30 kilometers long and only 4 kilometers wide. It was in the shape of a crescent moon. The island was full of jungles and grass.
Among the islands, there is a small bay with cliffs to block the wind and waves. It is a good place to moor boats, so I drove in carefully and got an anchor. There is a hill less than a kilometer from this small bay.
The group immediately stepped forward and climbed towards the hill. Looking around, the group did not see a wild beast, but there were countless unknown birds.
"Good, a good place."
As he was talking, a strong wind suddenly broke out in the sky, and dark clouds filled the sky.
"Sir, it seems that there is a big storm." Guganda immediately said, he was the captain and had experience with this: "Although the mooring place is very good, I still have to go back to the boat to prepare. I want to put two more anchors."
"Go!" Annien nodded in agreement, and then he and others walked down the mountain and found a very shallow cave under the rocks, but this actually made Annien and the others very satisfied, because the cave that was too deep could easily hide something, especially poisonous snakes or bats. Now this cave is enough to shelter from wind and rain, but not deep.
"You find some mud, build a small altar in this cave, and then build a small niche under the altar." Annin said as he ordered.
Such a thing is not difficult. There is grass outside, some mud, and water is a little more troublesome, but carrying a copper kettle can solve this problem. There are many people and great power, so there is not much time. A small altar of only one square meter is built.
"Turn mud into stone! Stone-shaping technique!" The power of magic was being displayed. Unfortunately, everyone present was a low-level priest and warrior. They didn't understand what kind of spell it was. They just watched the mud altar turn into a marble altar in awe, and their originally ugly shape became exquisite with Annien's will.
In fact, God himself can change the altar by his will. But Anne prefers to use magic to achieve this goal.
On the altar, while the stone was not yet completely hard, a knife was used to carve the name of God and the hymns. With the carving of the name of God, the altar had a Lord.
"Pray!"
There are also differences in the places of God. Generally speaking, the holy land is the largest, but it also consumes the most divine power. Secondly, there are major temples, statues, altars, and prayer spaces, and then there are small temples, and finally these small altars.
The small altar is connected only with a very limited holy power, and does not require daily prayer. It can be maintained once a year by cleaning and praying, but if you do not pray for a long time, do not clean up, and do not sacrifice, you will still lose your connection with the land of God and become ruins.
Everyone present knelt down and prayed. There was not much time when the line of god names on the altar lit up. A faint white light was emitted, indicating that it had been connected to the holy power.
"There is probably no one here who serves it specifically. Since faith cannot be used to comfort it, it must be used to maintain its strength for it. Go to the boat, and bring all the sheep on my boat, and I will kill one of them to sacrifice to the altar." Annen ordered: "You all return to the boat and bring the two barrels of wine on the boat. Of course, there are also flour and pots. All of them are removed and transported here.
"Yes, Lord Bishop."
Half an hour later, the sheep were brought, a total of four sheep, and two barrels of wine, a barrel of flour, and fragments of pots, pots, pottery, etc., plus a spear and an axe, were transported to the cave. At this time, the wind outside was already very strong.
"Take the sacrifice in the name of the gods!" Annien said, "Cargot, it's up to you to do it."
Kagot then picked a ram and pulled it to the altar. He did not use a machete, but used the axe. After chanting the name of God, he simply chopped off the head of the ram with axe. Suddenly, a light appeared on the name of the god on the altar, but it was not a white light, but a slightly red light. The light passed through the ram and the blood flowed into the altar. But strangely, the blood flowed into the small altar in the center of the altar and disappeared.
Feeling a faint joy in my heart, in fact, Annien, who was the sacrificer, understood that in ancient times, all sacrifices were almost the same, and blood was always regarded as a powerful force to soothe the divine nature. No matter what divine nature it was, because there is life in the blood, which can slightly increase the power of gods and demons. When the ram's blood flowed, the red light on the altar subsided.
"Okay, with this altar, this cave, no poisonous snake or evil spirit dares to come in, it is very safe here. In the future, you can rest here when you come to the island. Well, the meat you sacrificed can be eaten, but there is no need for sheep's head. Also, in this small space, food can be stored for a long time, fresh meat can last for a month, flour and wine can even be stored for a year, and there is no need to make fire. You can directly take a piece of wood to make fire on the altar. The only requirement is that you must sacrifice and pray at least once a year. However, to establish an altar in this way, at least a bishop-level priesthood can be carried out." Annin introduced.
At this time, there were already dark clouds outside, as dark as the night, and the strong wind was blowing. You could hear and see huge waves on the sea far away, but in this small cave, it was not affected at all. The soldiers and sailors happily piled up several squares of earth and rocks into a small platform, and grabbed some branches and leaves into the cave. Although there were not many, it was enough for this time.
There were dark clouds outside. After a while, heavy rainstorms poured down, and lightning was thunder and lightning. I just put the big pot outside to wait for water. After a while, I waited and then put it on the fire. There was not much time, roasted lamb and boiled lamb were carried out at the same time, which made people drool.
What Annin eats is the most delicious meat - lamb hind legs meat
And put seasonings into the bottle to mix, including soy sauce, chili powder, salt, sesame oil. When it comes to operation, it is Messer. She cut the tender lamb and tail lamb oil into slices of meat about 3 square centimeters in the size of her thumb, each slice is thin and fat. Then match them with fat and thin. Skewers one by one on a special wooden brazing, about six or seven pieces of meat in each skewer. Add seasonings to the soy sauce and mix well. Brush the soy sauce on the meat as you grill. After grilling for a few minutes, brush sesame oil on the roasted meat.
After this action, the mutton was red after roasting, spicy and fresh, spicy and fragrant, shiny, not greasy or odorful, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The meat was delicious. The soldiers and sailors nearby couldn't help but be stunned, and then quickly swallowed their saliva - this was obviously different from their barbecue.
"Not bad. Very good, very good." Annien said, and this praise immediately made Messer smile. She fucked more and more quickly.
Now, her talent has been reflected. She has broken through the first big mark of the warrior and gained Dou Qi. She has made great efforts on the road to Dou Qi. Therefore, although she has never done anything big, she can influence the current situation of small-scale battles at critical moments.
In other words, she has the traits that are called heroes in this world. Although this heroic trait is still thin and shriveled at present, it has the greatest potential - the potential to change the situation and develop.
When you are full, Annien said, "You all lean on the back of the altar, don't leave the line of the altar, or you must bear the consequences."
The soldiers around were stunned and couldn't figure out what Annien meant, but despite this, these people went to the back of the altar one by one according to the bishop's instructions, and even the nine sheep rushed over, filling the space in the line.
"Neutral, wise summoning!" Annien summoned in the form of magic. The energy level of this summoning is equivalent to level three summoning magic. However, this summoning is not carried out randomly, but consciously summoning otherworldly lives that meet his requirements. Therefore, in front of the altar, the magic circle lit up violently, and a monster suddenly appeared in the air.
The monster had eight legs, but it was not a spider. Its skin was covered with scales, and a faint red light shot out from its huge body. Its eyes swept towards everyone. All the soldiers couldn't help but tremble and kept making air-conditioning sounds.
"Only my god believers can rest assured." With this sentence, a blood-colored light appeared on the altar. In a blink of an eye, the monster shrank and it automatically climbed into the niche under the altar.
"Bike Sirsan, what is this?"
"It is the guardian, and all believers of God, or at least accompanied by the believers of God, can enter this place. All invaders will be attacked by it, but to satisfy their hunger, they must sacrifice blood to it once a month, and they like a quiet life. If people disturb too much, they will be very unhappy." Annien said, "But if we are the people now, once a month, it will not act rashly, and the altar binds it. Moreover, the priesthood of God can even drive it in the name of God, but cannot leave this island."
Everyone was stunned and it took a while to recover slowly, but they still looked at the altar and the niche in awe from time to time.
There was still strong wind outside, and it was getting heavier and heavier, almost turning into a terrible hurricane. The sea was surging and the waves were swaying. Even the cave could be seen. Everyone was slowly worried. Although the boat was parked in a natural harbor and had cliffs to block the wind and rain, could such a big storm be safe? Even the captain Guganda had no idea.
After another three hours, the storm weakened, so everyone drove the three sheep to the grassland outside and allowed them to move freely. Although it was autumn now and there was hay everywhere, these sheep might not survive, but it didn't matter. If they could survive, it would be best. If they could not survive, it would not be considered a big loss. The most important thing now is the boat. After driving the sheep to the island, everyone hurried to see the boat. As a result, almost everyone was relieved when they arrived on the boat.
Indeed, this kind of big wave is very powerful, but the ship is not damaged much. The cliff does perfectly block the storm. The only few wooden boards crack, so just repair it.
A book on Earth once said that even if branches are inserted into the ground, they will be produced, so they form a dense natural fence that can be used as a pasture for catching sheep. Of course, this must be dried in spring, and it is not needed now.
After getting on the boat, he started walking backwards. At this time, Cargot came up.
"Sir, I have some information to report to you."
"Tell me!"
"It's like this. When I patrol the nearby islands with boats, I sometimes find traces of savages. These savages use canoes. I really don't know how they crossed such a far ocean. Their level of civilization is even behind the indigenous people. I suspect that they even cannibalize people because I once found human bones in a trace of their activities."
"Is that so? Are there many people?"
"There are certainly not many, but I'm worried that they will go to the island and eat up all the cattle and sheep grazing on the island, so I think maybe we should organize a bigger inspection to clear out these more backward savages."
"Yes, but if you can catch it alive, try to catch it alive. These savages and indigenous tribes are not the same system. According to you, they are even in an extremely primitive state, so there may be some places to use, at least you can try it."
"Master Bishop, your wish is my order." After a pause, he said with some sorrow: "There is not much food now. If your fleet cannot come, it will be very difficult this winter. After all, we have 500 people at once and have not brought too much food. Although there is some food savings in the settlements, it may not be enough."
"Well, it's very good to consider this issue. However, if it's just a matter of food, you don't have to worry too much. You organize fishing first. Our small-scale salt farm also has some salt, which is just salty, and the fleet should also bring some food."
"Yes, then I'll go down first." Although he said this, Cargot was not so optimistic about the food issue. However, he didn't know that Annien still had a trump card.
