To the west of the Hua Kingdom, within the Wu Kingdom, deep in the mountains, there are several semi-isolated villages.
People here all believe in witch gods.
It is believed that only under the blessing of the witch god can the weather be smooth and live and work in peace and contentment.
Because of these people's stubborn ideas and the fact that they are located deep in the mountains, even the Uzbek officials only included them within the scope of Uzbekistan and did not impose any additional jurisdiction.
A big chapter of more than 4,000 words!
This day.
The kovadas (the village chief in the local dialect, meaning village owner) from five villages gathered together.
"It's soon time to sacrifice to the witch god again. Edmund, hasn't the witch maiden in your village been chosen yet?"
One of them, Covada, looked at an old man sitting opposite him and asked.
The eyes of the other three Covadas also focused on Edmund.
They need to sacrifice a young woman to the witch god every year. Only in this way can the witch god bless their five villages for peace in the next year.
Therefore, their five villages take turns selecting an unmarried young girl every year to offer sacrifices to the witch god.
In this case, it is equivalent to each village using only one unmarried young woman every five years.
It is also within the acceptable range of each village, so that there will not be one girl every year, which may lead to a certain year when there are no girls who meet the standards.
And this year, it happens to be the turn of the village where Edmund is located, and it should be their "Stali Village" that has the talent.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Edmund's expression did not change and he said quietly: "The candidate has been decided!"
"Who?"
The other four Covadas were still looking at Edmund.
"You don't need to worry about this. Lord Witch God is here, and I will definitely satisfy Lord Witch God."
Edmund said calmly.
"Your Excellency, Lord Witch God, Edmund, don't even think about deceiving Lord Witch God. The most suitable person for you Staly to sacrifice to Lord Witch God this year is that foreign woman!"
Covada, the one who asked the question first, spoke again.
"Jacob, Your Majesty the Witch God, how dare I deceive the Lord the Witch God? Laura was given to our village by the Lord the Witch God. How can I let her serve the Lord the Witch God again?"
"What's more, it has been stipulated since ancient times that the woman sacrificed to the Lord Witch God must be a native of our five major villages. Laura is not from our Stali. If it is true as you say, Laura will be dedicated to
As for the Lord Witch God, if the Lord Witch God is dissatisfied and a disaster comes from heaven, can you bear this responsibility?"
Edmund slammed the table and said angrily.
He was not clear about the thoughts of Jacob and the other four people.
But it was because more than half a year ago, a strange woman suddenly fell from the sky and landed in their village of Stari.
What's even more amazing is that falling from such a high altitude created a deep pit on the ground.
However, the woman did not die.
Just seriously injured.
Fortunately, after some treatment and recuperation by people from their village of Stali, the woman finally came back to life.
The only regret is that the woman lost her memory.
I don't know my origin or my surname.
Then he lived in their village of Stali.
After discussion by the people in the village, she was named "Laura"!
At the beginning, nearly half of the people in the village were opposed to keeping this foreign woman in the village.
However, in the end, he finally allowed Laura to stay despite all the objections.
Of course, the main reason why Edmund wanted to keep Laura at that time was because he saw that Laura was a young and beautiful woman.
The key is that his wife told him that when she gave Laura the medicine before, according to her judgment, Laura was likely to be unmarried (among the five major villages, unmarried people are not married, and they can only lose their virginity after getting married)
).
At that time, Edmund had an idea.
I was thinking about whether I could keep Laura and let Laura integrate into their Stari Village and become a member of their Stari Village. In this case, she might be able to sacrifice it to the Lord Witch God in the future.
However, this idea was soon dismissed by Edmund.
Because Laura's health gradually improved, which shocked the entire Staly Village.
She is obviously a woman, and she doesn't look very strong, but she is surprisingly strong and her skills are extremely strong.
Many men in the village had to do very difficult tasks, and even things that required several big men to do together, Laura could do it alone.
Including hunting in the mountains, Laura's harvest in half a day was enough to equal the total harvest of all the men in their entire village combined.
Suddenly, everyone in the entire Stari Village had a huge change in their impression of Laura. Not only did no one reject Laura anymore, but everyone, men, women, old and young, regarded Laura as the witch god who gave them to Stari Village.
gift.
This can also explain why Laura can fall from the sky without being thrown to death!
Under this understanding, even the most stubborn old guard in their village, who always firmly believed that foreigners could not be left behind, relaxed and no longer mentioned the idea of driving away Laura.
However, Laura's incident soon spread to the other four villages where Jacob and others were.
It just gave them a sense of imbalance!
This is what gave Jacob and others the idea of wanting their village to sacrifice Laura.
How could Edmund agree to this?
Not only did he not want to sacrifice Laura to the Witch God now, but he also had another idea, wanting Laura to marry his son.
If this is the case, with Laura here, his son will be able to successfully take over the position of Covada in Stari Village from him in the future.
Not only that, with Laura here, their Stali Village will also become the most prosperous village among their five major villages.
From then on, Jacob and others will be trampled under his feet.
However, in the face of Edmund's slap on the table and anger, Jacob and others did not get angry, as if they had expected Edmund's reaction.
Jacob and the other four looked at each other, and then Jacob stood up again, looked at Edmund and said: "Since you also said that Laura is a gift from the Lord Witch God, then it should be us
The five major villages share it."
"Fuck your motherfucker!"
Hearing this, Edmund's eyes almost burst out with fire. He suddenly realized that the intention of Jacob and others was not to let him sacrifice Laura.
What I said just now is nothing more than a rhetorical argument.
The real thoughts of Jacob and the four of them are simply to compete for Laura!!!
Hearing Edmund swearing, Jacob and the others did not get angry, but continued:
"Edmund, our five major villages take turns to offer sacrifices to the Lord Witch God every year, and it's not just your village of Stali that offers sacrifices."
"Since our five major villages are jointly blessed by the Lord Wizard God, then naturally, the gifts given by the Lord Wizard God should be shared by our five major villages!"
Jacob continued.
The other three village leaders nodded.
"Jacob, could you please explain why Laura appeared in our village of Staly and not in any of your four major villages?"
Edmund snorted coldly.
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Jacob to answer, Edmund asked and answered himself: "Of course it's because Laura is a gift given to us by the Witch God alone from Stari Village. Otherwise, if it is really given to us as a shared gift among the five major villages,
Yes, then he won’t appear alone in our Staly.”
Say it.
Edmund added another sentence: "Your Majesty the Witch God, thank you for protecting your people!"
Hear the words.
The expressions of Jacob and others changed.
What Edmund said was indeed true. If the Lord Witch God really gave them a gift shared by the five major villages, why didn't it appear in the public area, but appeared alone in Stari Village?
But no matter what the reason is.
In short,
Why does Starly Village have a Laura? But they don't?
If this is the case, then either Starly Village will not have Laura, or everyone will share Laura.
"Edmund, Horace, Anselm, Hector and I have all reached an agreement."
"Either you contribute Laura, and our five major villages will share it, and each village will take turns owning her for one year!"
"Either you sacrifice her to the Lord Witch God!"
"In short, it is impossible for your Stali village to monopolize Laura. If you really don't agree to our conditions, then don't blame our four major villages for joining forces to attack your Stali!"
Jacob said again.
If Edmund is a smart man, he will naturally know how to choose.
