According to the custom of the Southern Wilderness, the sacrifice should start when the sun rises.So usually at two or three o'clock in the morning, many people will start preparations.

The tribes and nobles can come later.But they also had to reach the temple before dawn.Because after dawn, the ceremony is over, and everyone has to start hunting, and offer the hunted prey to the Sun God, which is divided into the first offering, the second offering, and the final offering.

These prey will not all be sent to the temple of the sun.Because the prey returned from hunting by many tribes is often hundreds or even thousands.

So the khan or the great shaman or the high priest will select the best prey and offer it to their gods.The whole sacrifice is not over until dusk.

Today George is the protagonist. He has to preside over the ceremony early in the morning and lead everyone to pray to the Sun God in the Sun Temple before sunrise.After the sun rises, George will lead the tribe to hunt non-stop.The more prey you hunt, the more blessings you get from the Sun God, and the more it symbolizes the prosperity of the future. For the sake of auspiciousness, since three days ago, Awali's people went to the mountains to hunt prey !

In fact, Awali was the most nervous about today's sacrifice, because the fact that the holy court envoy presided over the ceremony of the sun god caused a trace of restlessness in the originally harmonious city of Halinska that he could not calm down.

For many people, this is difficult to accept

"Oh, I've heard about the hunting festival in the Southern Wilderness." The knowledgeable Anthony looked at the planetarium in the laboratory and said, "Based on the latitude and longitude of Halinska, when the sunrise shines there today, it should be at It's a quarter past five. But there should be heavy fog over there today, and the dawn should be around six o'clock."

"Five quarters, well, it seems I can't catch up on sleep." George rubbed his eyes and said.

It's past three o'clock now.At four o'clock, George had to arrive at the Temple of the Sun, and then he would take the eight representatives of the Sun Royal Family on horseback across the city.

Then before dawn, they must return to the temple and accompany everyone in the darkness, waiting for the light to come.

"It's past three o'clock, damn it, it's all your fault, George. I haven't had a good night's sleep for a long time." Soraya looked at George with some annoyance, and went to the bed, picked up the sacrificial robe, and said, " Hurry up and change your clothes, let me tell you what the high priest has to do, oh my god, it’s just a ceremony, why make it so complicated and solemn, I’m afraid the time is running out.”

"Let's do this for today, Anthony." After finishing speaking, George closed the Book of Dawn.Stretched and said.Compared to Soraya who only slept less because of insomnia, he really had no time to sleep.But after today, we will start our journey. By then, we can come back to sleep in the car.

George blinked at Soraya and said, "Don't worry, my Miss Sun God, your spokesperson is the most professional in the world. There will be no mistakes."

Seeing George's confident look, Soraya suddenly realized that this guy had already done all the preparations, and the so-called telling me about the sacrifice was just an excuse

Today's hunting festival may be the most unprecedented event in the history of Halinska.Its scale even surpassed the Sun Festival in the blood moon year.

The entire city is empty of people, and in the darkness, it seems that there are burning dragons winding around the city.Holding torches, buckets and basins, the residents flocked to the Temple of the Sun.

Seen from a distance, the halinska city shrouded in mist, the sky is fiery red, and in the hazy night, it seems that the whole city is burning.

No wonder today is so lively.Because of rumors, it was the envoys of the holy court who presided over the ceremony today, not the high priest of the tribe!

This situation, whether it is for the people of the Southern Wilderness or the people of Iberia, is extremely special.

The sun god is the incarnation of the seven gods

Those who still have expectations for the Holy Court in their hearts are full of excitement.Those people who have converted their beliefs are full of anxiety.And those common people who are very stubborn in their belief in the sun god are outraged.

For some, this is exactly what the heart has always wanted.And for some, that's simply unacceptable.

The crowds in the streets and alleys talked a lot, and many people even gathered together on the street to shout loudly, which almost turned into a riot.

However, what is interesting is that in this turmoil, most of the aggrieved were the Iberian people who loudly cried out for their master.However, the people in the southern wilderness, who were supposed to be emotional, instead folded their arms and watched coldly.

Silent, because they don't need to use their voices to tell their neighbors that their loyalty to the Sun God belief is true.

But amidst this silence, there was also a trace of anger in their hearts.

Because they couldn't understand why the elders of the Sun Temple would make such a ridiculous decision.

Compared with ordinary people, the minds of nobles are more complicated.After hearing the news of the banquet, all the nobles in Iberia left their territory and gathered here.In previous years, they were not so enthusiastic about the hunting festival.

Many nobles knew that with the arrival of the holy envoy, their backs might be straightened in the future.But the change of the host of the ceremony, like a basin of cold water, extinguished most of the fire in their hearts.

The envoy stepped over the red line.

The nobles couldn't understand why this holy envoy would come up with such a stupid idea in such a good situation, it's just superfluous!

The bright future that could have been expected has turned into an illusory bubble, and this holy envoy, like those in the holy court, is stupid and arrogant, and he is very happy.

Many tribal leaders are even more complicated in their hearts.Those Southern Wilderness lords who had been looking forward to the harmony between the North and the South suddenly became worried.Worried that the envoy's move would anger other tribes.

As for the tribes such as the fire wolf who came from afar these days, they were a little unhappy with the holy envoy in their hearts, and they were even more suffocated at this time.

They couldn't figure out why Awali would play such a fool with those old and blind elders!

"Silence! Silence!" Amidst the noise, Babar, the high priest of the temple, pressed his hands, and couldn't help but secretly wiped his cold sweat.

There are too many people here today, and it is still very early before the ceremony begins, and the entire temple is already packed to the brim.And the torches and crowds in the distance outside the gate of the main hall are constantly crowding towards the temple.

Just now, the eldest prince sent another [-] soldiers to maintain order outside the temple, at least to clear the way for the envoy to travel.

The Holy Messenger has come, earlier than everyone else.And the first step of the ceremony is not in the temple, but on the sun high platform outside.

When all the people arrived, he performed a solar fire baptism on the representatives of the various ministries.At that time, the big guys didn't make such a fuss, but it wasn't because of respect, but because the power left by the envoy was still in people's hearts.

But when the messenger led the team out of the temple, all the demons and monsters came out.

At this time, the team should still be around the city, lighting the sun fire for Halinska City, so that the residents in the city can also receive the baptism of the sun fire.

The roads everywhere have been decorated with torches since a week ago.There are tens of thousands of torches on both sides of the road in the city, each of which is three or four meters high, hanging in the air like a street lamp.

The lighting team should be divided into eight parts, holding bows and arrows without arrows, and lighting these torches while galloping on horseback.Even with a large team, this is not a small project, and if it is not for the sharp archer, two hours is not enough.

And if someone in the team is poor and shoots the rocket somewhere else, they will be doused with water by the crowd guarding the altar. Climb onto the torch high in the sky to make fire.This is very insulting.

Therefore, this is a ceremony that extremely tests equestrian skills, and in this world, except for Sun City and Halinska City, there is no city that dares to hold such a ceremony. Shooting people is a trivial matter, because the strength of the arrow It's small and has no head, so it can't hurt anyone.But if it is not done well, it will catch fire.

Now, there is still a moment before the opening, and there is not much time left for the ignition team.

Don't disturb the holy envoy and overturn the holy fire div

0587 'I, Sodeiraya, worship myself'

Don't disturb the holy envoy, or overturn the holy flame...

High Priest Babar was not worried that the emissary's team would make mistakes in archery, because most of the team consisted of people from the Eight Departments, each of whom was a master archer.You can't shoot with your eyes closed.

He was worried that some residents would maliciously throw water at the messenger.

In previous years, no matter how careful the people who opened the road were, they would inevitably get some water on their bodies.So pour some water on it, and nothing.But if the envoy becomes a drowned chicken, then when he returns to the temple, in the eyes of the nobleman, the situation will not be so good.

Thinking of this, the high priest Babar's affairs shamans hurriedly maintained order and sent someone outside to take a look at the situation.

Not long after, a shaman rushed back from the temple gate in a panic: "My lord! My lord! The team is back!"

High Priest Babar saw the flustered look of the shaman, and his heart skipped a beat.He hurriedly took people out to meet him.

In the distance of the Temple Avenue, torches, like long dragons, ignited from the end of the distant field of vision. Wherever the long dragons went, the dark sky was suddenly illuminated by the burning torches.

The flame was far more dazzling than the torches in the hands of the crowd, and it even dispelled the heavy fog in the sky.And the Sun Warriors who followed the messenger seemed to have already put down their bows and arrows.

With solemn and sacred faces, they rode their horses and followed the leader in front of them. Wherever the team passed, on the high torches, pure white sun flames were lit.
