Chapter 534: The Sacrifice of the Living Dead
The so-called "Living Dead Sacrifice" is a very bloody and cruel criminal law passed down by the ancient orc tribe. Generally, those who act as "Living Dead Sacrifice" are extremely unforgivable sinners or the main leaders of the hostile tribe. The orcs will select the most skilled swordsman to cut off the limbs of the "Living Dead Sacrifice" in front of the totem pillar of the tribe, dig off the eyes of the "Sacrifice", cut off the tongue of the "Sacrifice", deaf ears of the "Sacrifice", peel off the skin of the "Sacrifice", and then use shamans in the tribe to ensure the life safety of the "Sacrifice". Finally, the shamans in the tribe chopped down the soul of the Living Dead Sacrifice bit by bit.
Due to the powerful healing ability of shamanism, this cruel ritual can often be performed for three days. During these three days, people from the tribe will sing and dance while "watching" the shrill screams of the living dead sacrifices.
This is a special sacrifice. The superstitious orcs firmly believe that such sacrifices can please their ancestors, and the entire tribe will also receive blessings from their ancestors. Although all the knowledgeable professions can prove that their so-called "Living Dead Sacrifice" will not only make the ancestors absorbing the souls full of hatred more and more violent, but it will not essentially strengthen the ancestors of the tribe. The so-called pleasing of the ancestors is even more superstitious, but most orc tribes still enjoy this cruel memorial.
Perhaps what they said about "pleasing" ancestors is just an excuse. Using this excuse to vent their anger against enemies or sinners and satisfying their distorted desire for abuse is the real reason why the "Living Dead Sacrifice" has lasted forever.
However, no matter whether they really believe in this cruel sacrifice or just to satisfy their dark desires in their hearts, in the view of the female knight Odolelinda, such sacrifices are already called evil. No matter what the reason, punishment for such sacrifices is not justified. Although these rabbits who blindly pursue sacrifices are still in the neutral camp, in a sense, they are already considered evil accomplices. Although their crimes may not be dead, they should receive the deepest education and correction from justice!
At the same time, the most important thing that the female knight cannot tolerate is that the "living dead sacrifice" that these rabbits expect is actually an innocent little girl. Out of the principle of "save the innocent" in the supremacy, Odolelinda, with a frown, could not convince herself to sit idly.
"Bang"!
Slapping the chopsticks on the table, Odolelinda temporarily put down her "just revenge" without hesitation. She decided to first see how the little girl who was rumored to be an "evil girl" was like. If she was really an innocent person who was persecuted... Then neither Odolelinda nor Claire, who was also indignant, could allow the tragedy to happen.
In the heart of the righteous female knight, no matter what kind of evil is facing, the most important thing to save innocent people, no matter what kind of evil is it! This is also the reason why she had to arrive at the venue with her two apprentices in Red Roy City, for... Isn't it just to save one or two injured people?
And now, Odolelinda, the messenger of justice, is going to implement her own idea again.
————————————————
It was no problem to find the residence of this "evil girl", because the entire Rabbit Tribe was built in a large group, except for the small wooden houses of this "evil girl" standing alone on a wet mound.
The more I walked into this little mound covered with moss, Odolelinda became more and more sure of her judgment of the "innocent".
First of all, the female knight could clearly sense that there was no professional in the house, only a little girl who was only twelve or thirteen years old. At such a close distance, Odolelinda was still very confident in her perception.
On the other hand, along the way, the female knight carefully discovered that several flowers of different colors were blooming elegantly on this mound. The ugly ferns that could be seen everywhere in the rabbit village were carefully poached. The entire mound actually gathered more than a dozen bright flowers in this dark swamp. Although these beautiful flower bushes now have traces of being trampled on, Odolelinda, who usually likes flowers, can still clearly see that these flowers are often taken care of.
"How could such a person be evil in this swamp with patience to transplant so many flowers and take good care of them?"
With pity, he helped up many of the little flowers that were being stepped on with fighting spirit. He frowned and Odolelinda walked around the flowers and accelerated his pace towards the cabin. Behind her, Claire also quickly followed.
The small wooden house on the mound has obviously been weathered for a long time, and the wood eroded by humid air even grew a few fungus. The crumbling attic can still vaguely see the exquisiteness of the first construction, but now the structure of the entire house is so unstable that it creaked in the wind.
Obviously, the owner of the wooden house has the ability to take care of some flowers, but she does not have the ability to repair such a large wooden house. Now, when a more violent and damp cold wind blows across the mound, the whole wooden house is shaking in the cold wind. The only thing around the wooden house is not "swaying in the wind" is...... two rabbit men guarding.
"stop"!
"Don't move"!
Seeing two humans in armor walking towards the wooden cabin, the two alert rabbit guards immediately shouted loudly. Before the female knight could say something, they raised the wooden gun in their hands and pointed it at Odolelinda and shouted loudly:
"Human! This is the inner area of our short tail tribe. This is not the place you should come. This wooden house contains important sacrifices for tomorrow. In order to prevent her from escaping, no one is allowed to approach it."
"Sacrifice, are you talking about the cruel "living dead sacrifice"? Do you feel that your conscience is twitching when performing such an evil sacrifice?"
Before Aldolelinda could speak, Claire, who was standing behind the female knight, got angry first. On the way here, Aldolelinda explained to Claire what the so-called "Living Dead Sacrifice" was. After hearing that such cruel sacrifices still existed in the world, Claire, who had been angry in his heart, was already very angry.
However, in the eyes of ordinary people, the "living dead sacrifice" is extremely bloody and cruel, but in the eyes of these rabbits, their sacrifice is a sacred and inviolable belief. Now when people insulted the sacred ritual passed down by their ancestors, the two rabbits immediately couldn't help it.
The two rabbit guards who were not professionals could not sense the strength of the boy in front of them. They only knew that their ancestors had been insulted. So, as soon as Claire finished speaking, the two angry rabbit guards who had been stunned for a second resolutely pulled their guns and stabbed them without hesitation.
"Damn it, if you dare to insult the sacred sacrifice, your ancestors will punish you."
