Early the next morning, Bahrain woke up Snorri on time. He was not too tired since he had been doing logistics without participating in the war, so he completed his mission well.
Snorri stretched and stood up. The physical and mental exhaustion from the previous day made him fall asleep without much time to think about it. Fortunately, as long as he took the first step, the initiative of time was in his hands. He simply washed and tidied up his appearance, and then strode out of the room. Last night, in order to wait for news about him and the pursuing troops, the dwarves in the outpost did not celebrate the victory with wine and banquets, but remained on guard until he returned.<
/p>
After the threat of the escaped ratmen was lifted, the dwarves relaxed and rested, so they all slept soundly. And because Snorri deliberately got up early, almost all the dwarves were still asleep.
Seeing this scene, Snorri nodded with relief. He slowly walked up to the watchtower. He knew that there was a warning rune loudspeaker on the top of the tower.
There were two wounded soldiers on guard duty on the tower. They were the poor guys who were shot in the back by friendly forces during that charge. Because the injuries behind them had not yet healed, they were unable to sit, and it was uncomfortable to lean against the wall with their backs, so
I can only lie down on the railing to rest.
Seeing Snorri coming up to the tower, they greeted him warmly.
"You woke up so early! My dear choice for the goddess!"
"Praise for your courage and strength! The ancestor goddess protects us!"
After a brief exchange with them, Snorri picked up the rune loudspeaker on the tower. Although it was a little strange, the two dwarves did not stop him.
"People!" Snorri cleared his throat and spoke into the loudspeaker:
"I have important news to announce!"
Listening to his voice echoing throughout the outpost, Snorri stopped and waited.
Soon, the dwarves who were woken up came out cursing.
"Which goblin keeps barking so early in the morning!?"
"The mice are here? Where are they? Should I chop their heads into pieces?"
"I'm going to kick this yelling bastard's ass!"
Seeing that the person holding the microphone was Snorri, the goddess's choice, the dwarves stopped cursing, but the long-bearded elders were still mumbling.
The gold-seeking uncle coughed and stood up: "Snorri! You child, our compatriots have worked hard for so long, why can't we all have a good rest?" His words reflected the thoughts of many dwarves.

"Get up early and hurry up and carve runes!"
"If we do this early, we can go live in the mountain fort early! I'm tired of staying at the outpost!"
The dwarves shouted again.
"Now there is no need for me to carve runes to remove erosion!" Snorri's voice suppressed the shouts of the dwarves with the help of the loudspeaker.
"Last night the Ancestor Goddess sent a divine message to me. He praised all of us for our efforts in recovering Karak-Wane. In order to encourage us, He will send divine grace in three days to purify the entire Mountain Lake Castle!"<
/p>
Snorri's speech was slow and his tone was calm, but these simple words turned the loudspeaker in his hand into a silencer. The entire outpost fell into deathly silence.
Every dwarf is digesting the information contained in this sentence. What troubled Snorri yesterday was the time when "the mother goddess sent down the grace",
He knew that it was a full day's journey from Mountain Lake Castle to the three nearest dwarf fortresses: Torrent Pass, Eternal Peak and Karak-Domar. It would take one day for the messenger to get there, and another day for the dwarves over there to get there.
It is also essential to allow at least a day for this explosive news to spread widely.
He originally planned to reserve a few days for the Mother Goddess to spread the news widely and attract more dwarves to come and watch the ceremony.
But on the one hand, he hoped that his eldest brother and his tribe could move into the fortress earlier and start production and life earlier. On the other hand, he felt that if the goddess's gift of grace required preparation for seven and ten days, it might make some tribesmen suspicious.

After a long time, the gold-seeking uncle murmured: "Are you telling the truth? Can each of us witness this miracle with our own eyes?"
"That's natural! This is what the Mother Goddess said to me herself!" After saying this, Snorri put down the phone with confidence and walked down the watchtower.
Snorri understood that the most concise language would have the best effect on this kind of matter, and his calmness convinced all the dwarves. As he walked down the tower, the dwarves broke out into fierce arguments.
Discuss and cheer.
"Oh my god! The ancestor goddess is really paying attention to us!"
"Praise to the respected goddess! This trip to Shanhu Castle is the right one!"
Brother Gnom reacted quickly, "Quick! Send a messenger back to Karaz-a-Karak to report the news! Zhufuba and Karak-Domar are also going! The Mother Goddess has given divine grace. This is amazing.
It’s so rare!” Gnom shouted excitedly!
"Don't worry, young man!" The gold-seeking uncle suddenly thought and said.
"Your father Thorgrin may believe what the messengers say, but the lords of the other two mountain castles may not! Let's write a letter!"
With that said, the two attendants took out paper and pen. They briefly wrote down the battle process on the paper, stated the facts of victory, and finally emphasized Snorri's declaration that the ancestor goddess would send down the divine favor in three days.
.
"I'll arrange for a few brothers to protect the messenger!" Glenson, the captain of the Eternal Hammer Guards, stood up. It could be seen that the elder was also very excited.
Soon, the three rangers set off quickly under the protection of the Hammer of Eternity. They wanted to deliver this shocking news to the lords.
The dwarves in the outpost were unwilling to disperse for a long time. They gathered together to express their opinions. The dwarf executives gathered in the conference room again. This time they wanted to discuss sacrificial matters.
"I am a young man and I don't understand many rules. Are there any rules for worshiping ancestors and gods?"
This time Snorri was invited to the main seat, with the gold seeker and Brother Gnom sitting on his left and right sides.
Hearing this, the dwarves present all lowered their heads in silence. Since the ancestral gods have not shown their grace for a long time, for these pragmatic dwarves who have been working hard outside, either fighting or mining, the names of the gods are almost unknown.
Just talking about it.
The eyes of the young and middle-aged dwarves quickly focused on the eldest uncle who was a gold hunter, and the old uncle's face became more and more embarrassed. You must know that he has been busy prospecting in various places over the years, and has not participated in the mountains for an unknown period of time.
It’s a sacrificial ceremony in the castle!
"Well, here comes Granny!"
Seeing that he could not speak anymore, the old dwarf temporarily held the ancestor's feet and announced a divine call.
"Didn't the great Ancestor Goddess tell you how we should pay our respects to Him?" He kicked the ball back to Snorri.
"The Mother Goddess loves her children, teaches us skills, and blesses us so that all who believe in Him will have a place in the palace of our ancestors. She asks nothing of us, but we cannot repay the favor without repaying it.
!" Snorri said solemnly.
