Maple Leaf Courtyard, inside the Maplewood Cottage.
The girl sat in front of the dressing table next to the bed, arranging her long hair. The silver hair fell down to her waist.
First, use a comb to straighten the long hair and put it behind the shoulders, then push the two bangs on the side back of the head, hold it with one hand, and then pick up the light red hairband in front of the stage with the other hand.
Use a hair tie to tie up the two horizontal bangs, and then adjust them to form a slightly larger red bow.
At this moment, a dreamy girl appeared in the mirror. Her long silver hair was like a waterfall reaching her waist. She was wearing an elegant long skirt. The skirt was divided into three layers, namely pomegranate red, light red, and pure white.
, the long skirt is also dotted with seven crimson roses at an angle, and under the long skirt are white silk stockings, which perfectly outlines the girl's slender and green figure.
Her crimson eyes were as clear and transparent as crystal, and her two incompatible temperaments of innocence and charm were perfectly unified.
Since switching to the demon sequence, Lorraine Hill's eyes have changed from light blue to crimson, which surprised her at first. However, after several experiments, she found that as long as she transformed back to the natural sequence 2·Xunfeng Arborist
, her pupils will return to light blue.
Today all the Rabbit Ear tribes in the Tisilan Mountains will gather together to hold a grand ceremony and swear allegiance to her, even though she said she doesn't need it.
But the old clan leader said that without a grand ceremony, it would be difficult to change the outdated concepts and habits of many clan members.
Only a grand ceremony that is deeply remembered by everyone can break the previous habits and numbness, tear away the burden on the soul, and start over.
At the same time, such a grand ceremony can also better confirm the status and majesty of Lorraine Hill.
In this era of imperfect order and lack of law, the majesty of a leader is, in a sense, a powerful order.
It spreads from the center outwards, and everyone obeys the same will, the same voice, and the same order, thus breaking down the barriers between villages and integrating to form a brand new system.
Therefore, for the needs of the ceremony, the girl had to prepare a dress, and at the same time, she also used the red madder from the Maple Leaf Garden to dye part of the fabric red as raw materials.
-------------------
That night, the grand party began.
First, many large bonfires were set up on the original hills. Each of the fires was lit, and the flames shot up to three to five meters high. Next to the fires were circles of rabbit ears from various places in the mountains.
Some of them received the news, traveled for a long time, and just arrived tonight.
These rabbits were chatting excitedly next to the fire. This kind of grand event had not happened for a long time. Some rabbits sang songs, and some played small drums in time with the beat.
Beside the fire were grilling meat skewers. The snake meat slowly turned brown, reflecting a faint oily light under the firelight. Then sprinkled with some salt grains, the alluring meaty aroma began to linger next to the fire.
Spreading everywhere.
Many of the rabbits who came here had not seen Lorraine Hill and were a little unconvinced at first, but when they saw the body of the terrifying giant snake being cut into meat skewers, they slowly felt a sense of admiration in their hearts.
It is powerful and can bring food. These two points have convinced the hearts and stomachs of many rabbits. Who doesn't want to live? Even being loyal to a human has become an acceptable thing.
Continuous bonfires illuminated the mountains. In a flat open space surrounded by five hills, a huge stone platform was built.
At this time, an old gray-eared rabbit wearing a white robe climbed onto the stone platform. Behind him were the leaders and representatives from each rabbit-eared village, all of whom were uniformly dressed in white robes.
Two large drums were placed on both sides of the stone platform, and were being beaten by several strong Rabbit Ear clansmen at this moment.
Boom——
Boom——
Boom——
The shocking sound of drums echoed in the mountains, startling countless birds and beasts at night.
In the dark forest in the distance, there were many black shadows, and occasionally there was a sparse sound, as if a huge creature was slowly walking through it.
"Fellow compatriots, today, I stand here with representatives of various villages, and we have something important to announce."
Under the stone platform, thousands of rabbit-eared people were silent, watching the leader and waiting for his speech. Countless rabbits were also standing on the hillside next to them, looking towards the central high platform.
"The various villages and tribes scattered in the wilderness and mountains, today, we will once again integrate into a unified tribe."
"For hundreds of years, we have wandered around, crossing countless mountains from the east of the Mountains of Sighs to this land, just to have a resting place."
"However, this dream has been shattered. The Kingdom of West Wind is no longer the enlightened country it once was, and the Kuangya Empire belonging to the orcs has long been submerged in the yellow sand and dust."
"The number of people in our tribe has gradually decreased from 500,000 when we migrated here to 200,000 now."
"Every year, you can hear that the residences of the same clan are destroyed, some are destroyed by monster attacks, and some are defeated by the capture of the West Wind Kingdom."
"Why are we in such trouble?"
"Because we are too weak and have no fighting spirit!"
The deafening voice of the old rabbit woke up many rabbits present who had been numb for a long time. The dignity and hope that had been buried in the soil began to slowly awaken.
"Being weak is not a sin. What is sad is that we indulge in this kind of weakness and have no idea of rising up."
"Continuous retreat and compromise will never satisfy the greedy enemy. They choose humiliation and war, and then choose war."
"I know that some knowledgeable members of the same race remember the lost past thousands of years ago and are unwilling to mention it and are no longer confident."
"Well, I will tell these shameful histories to the younger members of my race now."
"In 8143 of the First Era, the combined forces of the 182 tribes of the Kuangya Empire totaled 3.1 million and faced off against the Mercury Dynasty on the stretch of the Gaodan Plain. The 300,000 troops of our Rabbit Ear tribe were mainly responsible for transporting food. During the attack by a small group of enemies, our ancestors fled shamefully, leaving the 300,000-strong army without resistance. As a result, the granaries were burned and the empire was defeated."
"From now on, our tribe is despised and cast aside by all other orcs!"
"Shameful? Yes, very shameful!"
"Since you have lost your dignity, you will lose more."
"This is also the reason why we can only huddle in this forest and wait to die slowly. From the peak of more than 60 million back then, we have dropped to less than 200,000 of our kind now."
"Is this the price we pay for the humiliation we suffered back then? I think even if it is, it should be over."
"A week ago, a hero came to this forgotten forest. She bravely killed the giant snake that caused trouble and saved several nearby villages."
"Not only that, she also told us the extraordinary sequence of cultivation methods and taught us various survival skills, such as planting, animal husbandry, and steel. She is a benevolent and great being."
