Seeing the ball kicked back by Snorri again, the dwarves in the conference room began to think.
"I may know something!" Balin said hesitantly behind Snorri. He felt a little nervous when he was the focus of all the dwarves for the first time.
"Tell me about it, man! Be bold!" Snorri encouraged his attendant. It seemed that his book was not in vain, and Snorri nodded secretly in his heart.
Since Snorri has not yet formed an army or taken control of the city on his own, Balin has not been able to play his role and basically works for him as a living secretary.
"In the classics, the ancestors of the Golden Age used rock sheep as sacrifices to worship the mother goddess!" The dwarves all nodded when they heard this.
"Blue Sheep, that's not difficult. Do you have any other requirements?" the ranger captain asked.
"It is best to have a healthy and intact lamb without any defects." Bahrain continued.
"In the era of our ancestors, blue sheep were relatively easy to obtain and delicious meat, and the meat of lamb was the most tender. Offering the best food to the mother goddess represents our respect." He gave an explanation for this. Hearing this, the dwarves present nodded their heads one after another, talking about themselves and others. Who doesn't like to eat lamb?
"However, there are also some extensions," Bahrain continued his explanation: "Some sacrifices believe that we have no ability to resist. Weak lambs are to us just like we are to the mother goddess, so sacrificing lambs can also represent our willingness to surrender to the mother goddess.
Mother Goddess offers us everything!”
Although many dwarves did not understand this part, they still continued to express their agreement. Finally, there was a ritual that could be justified and no one was willing to ask for trouble.
Seeing that none of the dwarves present had objections, Brother Genom gave the order. "Take your people to the mountain to catch some lambs! Be gentle and don't hurt them! These are sacrifices to the mother goddess.
What an honor!"
Genom exclaimed, "If I hadn't been unable to outrun them, I would have led them myself!"
"Brother, do you still remember what we said on the way here?" Snorri reminded Gnom in a low voice.
"Oh, by the way, bring back an adult blue sheep. It should be strong and smart, even better!" Gnom added to the ranger captain.
"As you wish, Prince." Although he didn't quite understand why there was such a request, the ranger captain decided to carry out Gnom's order to the letter.
"Others, clean up the outpost and decorate it! I'm afraid many tribesmen will come to watch the ceremony when the news spreads, but don't leave our nest in a mess and make it embarrassing!" Gnom gave the order.
Then the meeting was adjourned.
Looking at the tribesmen who were busy cleaning up, Snorri was satisfied and directed some craftsmen to build a simple altar for himself in front of the gate of Shanhu Castle.
A day later, while the Snorri brothers were busy cleaning up their little outpost, the letter was received by Thorgrim the Hater in Karaz-a-Karak.
The more the Dwarf King read, the happier he became. Since he took the throne, he had been oppressed by the densely packed hatred articles in the Book of Hatred. But in just a few days, he had smiled more often than in the previous year. p>
"Copy the contents of the letter to all clans and guilds, and send some people to the squares and taverns to promote it! I want as many clansmen as possible to know that the Mother Goddess will bestow divine grace!" Thorgreen issued the order.
Instructions.
The scene shifts to the throne room in Torrent Pass. It is not as grand as the grand throne room in Karaz-a-Karak, but as a city of engineers, Jufuba's throne room also has its own unique features.
There is a more famous name here - Echo Hall. It is famous for its exquisite and stunning acoustic design. It has a low circular dome that can reflect sound evenly to every corner of the hall, allowing a large number of
of dwarves can easily talk to each other without raising their voices.
Sitting on the main seat is an older dwarf with an almost white beard. He is slightly older than Thorgrin. This is King Serendin of Jufba.
After listening to Prince Balentine's report below, he nodded, "You mean that Snorri of the Dekazkrad clan smashed the head of the rat leader?" His voice did not sound like his beard.
Full of wisdom, but still a bit rough and reckless.
"Then it seems that he is not a coward favored by the Mother Goddess, but a warrior!" King Serendine nodded.
"Do you think Nagenom can defend the Mountain Lake Castle?" A mature dwarf sitting on the left side of Serendin asked. This is the leader of the second largest clan of Jufuba, and currently serves as the internal affairs officer of the city.<
/p>
"Shanhu Castle, we have had intermittent control over her over the years. I hope this mustache will not run back to the Eternal Peak in a few years, making us happy in vain!" The dwarf gave his opinion.
.
"I can answer this for Balentine!" The one who spoke was an extremely majestic dwarf named Henryd the Dragon Slayer, who is currently serving as the gatekeeper of Jufuba.
Open warrior.
"I've seen that kid Genom! He came here to protect the caravan a few years ago. When he saw me, he asked me for advice. He still has a few tricks up his sleeve!"
Hearing Henryd's praise, the dwarves in the Echo Hall started a rustling discussion. Henryd was known as a warrior comparable to his ancestors. When he traveled the old world as an adventurer, he killed people with his team.
A real dragon!
"I think it's about the same!" King Serentin nodded, "I got news a few days ago that Mustache is getting married! Speaking of which, Balentin, you have to give me a try! If..."<
/p>
Just as King Serendin continued to speak, a hammer guard at the door ran in to interpret. "Everyone, there is a messenger from Karak Varn."
"That is to tell us the news of recapturing the mountain fortress! We already know this." King Serentin shook his beard and said. Balentin also eliminated some remaining ratmen in the mines and tunnels on the way back, so there was a delay.
Half a day.
"Arrange food and accommodation for our compatriots who have come from afar! Don't let people say behind our backs that we don't understand etiquette!" the internal affairs officer sitting under Serendin added.
"There is also a Hammer of Eternity Guard accompanying us! They said the content is very important!" the Hammer Guard added. "Send it up!" Serendin gave the order abroad.
"Greetings to you! King Serendin of Julfbah!" The Eternal Hammer Guards walked in and beat their chests in salute. "Master Snorri conveyed the oracle of the Mother Goddess, who will be in Karak in three days -
Vann sends down divine grace!"
"Ancestral Gods!" The dwarves in the Echo Hall exclaimed in unison. Under the influence of the acoustic design, it was almost deafening.
