The mountain climbers and many warriors were frightened when they heard this——
"Witch, no!"
"Do not disobey the holy will of our Lord!"
"Yes, Wu, you, you are actually...well...not bad. You are a little bit beautiful, but the beauty is not obvious."
"Yes, Wu, you just haven't grown up yet."
"Witch, you need to eat more fat meat!!"
After hearing this admonition, Xue Nu took a deep breath and finally calmed down the anger in her heart: "Come in with me."
Soon, they chased after him, accompanying the dozen or so people.
Step into the valley.
The expressions of the dozen or so envoys who were still arrogant before entering the valley changed slightly;
My heart is also changing little by little.
They had never seen such a clean settlement, with no debris and leftover animal bones scattered around, so there was no smell.
It seems that the fishy smell of defecation that is common in the tribe has disappeared in this valley.
People's bodies are neat and tidy, no matter men, women, old or young, their hair is free of grease, their skin is free of stains, and everyone is in high spirits and full of vitality.
On the contrary, there were more than a dozen of them, who had traveled a long distance and were looking miserable and smelling bad.
And why is everyone smiling?
This kind of joyful atmosphere is unprecedented even in their chief tribe.
People work from dawn to dusk to make a living.
Men need to hunt and fight, women need to process weapons and make meals, and even children need to be trained from an early age to learn various skills such as casting nets for fishing.
Perhaps after sunset, when the bonfire is lit, they often sing, laugh, gather and dance.
But compared with this scene in the Tushi Valley, it only made them feel inferior, as if they were in an unreal dream.
And when they looked down at the densely packed but well-proportioned tent residences, their hearts were shocked again.
Whether a tribe is strong or not is most intuitively displayed in front of them.
The leader of the chief's guards felt guilty for the first time.
Although I can’t tell where they are strong, I can’t help but come to the conclusion that ‘they are very strong’.
Moreover, Tushi had just experienced a war, so why was the entire tribe so peaceful?
He looked around again and found no cages for slaves.
Didn’t it mean that Tushi annexed many tribes?
It stands to reason that they captured a large number of slaves, and it takes time to domesticate slaves.
It's impossible, they killed everyone, right?
If he were killed, what would happen to this prosperous residence and people?
Countless questions lingered in their hearts, causing these dozen people to unconsciously lower their heads and ponder secretly.
The snow girl and the mountain climber also noticed their sudden silence.
Climbing the mountain asked in a low voice: "Witch, does my Lord have any other wishes?"
The snow girl recalled her master's instructions when he left.
"How to make them surrender to equilibrium is your responsibility."
"Master, what should I do?"
"In front of the weak, show your strength so that they recognize their weakness; show your wealth so that they know their poverty; show your cruelty so that they know fear and respect; show your kindness and magnanimity so that they
I surrender to you."
"Master, what if the snow girl fails to do a good job?"
"Next month, there will be no chocolate."
"Chocolate...no..." The snow girl thought of this and was so frightened that her whole body trembled.
Hearing this murmur when climbing a mountain, he wondered: "What?"
"Ah, it's nothing." The snow girl regained her composure and glanced at the dozens of people who were obviously shocked. At this time, she probably understood the meaning of her master's words.
Tu Shi has become powerful.
It is so powerful that even these once-high-ranking chieftains and guards are fearful!!
If she still can't do this well, she really won't be able to face my Lord.
"climb mountains!"
The snow girl's voice was low again: "I ordered people to send the most tender meat to entertain our guests. I have understood my Lord's will."
He didn't dare to neglect mountain climbing, and he firmly believed in his daughter's words.
After the witch left, at first only the snow girl could communicate with the gods, and she was the closest and most beloved to her.
In the eyes of this father, her daughter is no longer a child, but a leader who assumes tribal responsibilities and the most loyal servant of our lord.
Even though she is still young and not old enough to have children and get married.
Everyone came to the reception area.
The elders also gathered together.
The delegation of more than a dozen people immediately became serious and were about to start negotiations, but found that a group of elders knelt down and worshiped.
The envoy, who felt inferior a moment ago, straightened up and regained his confidence and pride.
But after a while, their pride and confidence were shattered.
"We pay homage to our lord's most devout attendant, the great priest of the Tushi Tribe."
Snow Girl has long been accustomed to all this.
She stepped forward and tapped the great elder's bowed head: "Praise my Lord, praise Balance."
More than twenty elders said in unison——
"Praise my Lord, praise the balance."
Such a scene.
The dozen or so people were once again stunned.
In their chief tribe, people do not need to kneel down when meeting sacrifices. Although the status of the elders is not as good as that of witches, they are still in the same class.
At this time, a group of the wisest elders of the tribe actually knelt down to a young girl, which was incredible.
After the elders stood up, they looked at everyone; their expressions were neither humble nor arrogant, with a hint of contempt.
But soon several elders discovered the thin figure in the crowd——
"big cow?"
The young man who was the guide immediately came out with a look of shock and confusion on his face: "Elder, you, how can you..."
Before he could finish speaking, an elder grabbed him and came over. A huge force burst out of the old body from nowhere, and he pushed the young man to the ground and knelt on his knees.
"Daniu, you sinner, why don't you ask the witch for forgiveness? Let the witch intercede for you in front of our Lord!"
Immediately afterwards, several elders of the Red Deer Tribe knelt down and said, "Witch, this is not Da Niu's fault. It was because of our ignorance that we ordered him to go to the chief's tribe to report the news."
"Now that he has returned, please punish him."
The thin young man was confused.
Sinner? Am I a sinner?
Is there a possibility that I am the hero who moved in to rescue the soldiers?
When he was in a daze, another elder cursed: "What are you waiting for? Hurry and confess your sins to Wu Kowtou!"
Danniu was already confused and subconsciously followed the elder's words and said: "I, I plead guilty, Danniu pleads guilty."
The Snow Girl nodded slightly, imitating Zhou Li'an's words and said: "My Lord once said that under balance, we are all subjects; and those who don't know are not guilty. You are willing to submit to my Lord, dedicate your body and soul, and serve Him devoutly."
,Follow Him?”
Didn't wait for Daniel to speak.
The elders of the Red Deer tribe were impatient: "Say yes quickly!"
"If you don't say anything, we'll kill you first!"
"Yes, don't tarnish our devotion to our Lord just because of you."
Daniel cried.
He had no idea what was going on.
The tribal elders who once loved him the most now said they wanted to kill him.
"Woo woo woo, I, I am willing, I am willing to do anything!"
On the side, the envoy group of more than a dozen people were also stunned.
We came with the chief's war order, but you asked our guide to surrender to you rebels?
Am I crazy, or are you crazy?
"You bunch of old fools, what are you doing? We are the guards and messengers of the great chief. Do you, a bunch of rebels, want to be slaughtered on the spot?"
Swish swish swish.
Several people pulled out their copper knives. This was a special treat only for the chief's guards. The golden blade was the highest symbol of honor in the tribe.
Whenever the blade of the sword is directed, some humble tribesmen will be frightened and tremble.
But at this time.
The Tushi warriors gathered nearby did the same thing.
They all looked angry and pulled out the long knives at their waists. The sharp blade was like a mirror, reflecting the cold light under the firelight of the valley.
More than a dozen chieftains and guards looked shocked.
Looking at the pitted, dull copper knives in their hands, they were so unsightly.
Another person came over, holding a spear. The spearhead was sharp and eye-catching, as if exuding strong murderous intent.
Now, more than a dozen people have suddenly discovered what kind of situation they are in.
There are soldiers with cold eyes everywhere.
No matter old or young, women or children, they all shared the same hatred of the enemy and looked at them with eager eyes.
"What do you, you rebels, want to do?!"
"We are the great chief..."
Phew.
The snow girl suddenly moved her hand. With her low figure, she raised a dagger high and stabbed it into the man's jaw. It penetrated directly without any hesitation.
Once the knife was successful, she retreated deftly, avoiding the blood that was about to splatter.
The man covered the wound in pain, but could not stop the blood from spurting from his fingers.
But there was no panic on the snow girl's face.
She has also seen even more cruel scenes, and she was the real victim at that time; if my Lord had not come, she would have died tragically and been annihilated in the world.
Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.
The snow girl who has lived in a primitive tribe since she was a child may not understand the meaning of the law of the jungle, but it has already existed in it.
"O most pious people of our Lord!"
"Tell these ignorant people what kind of crime should be punished for disrespecting the balanced?"
The elders took the lead in shouting fanatically——
"Those who do not respect balance will be sentenced to eternal destruction!"
"Kill them!"
"Awaiting the judgment of our Lord!"
"Kill them!!"
The tribesmen in the valley gathered quickly, and bursts of shouting set off a wave of sound that was shocking.
The man who was stabbed in the jaw was still struggling in pain. The pain made him burst out with infinite hatred, and he actually threw himself at the snow girl.
But behind Xue Nu, several valley guards were already prepared, and they slashed at his neck with their long swords.
Blood spurts.
Although the head was not separated, only half of the skin and flesh remained attached.
With a thud, his body fell to the ground heavily.
The limbs, hands and feet still twitched restlessly.
quiet--
The valley suddenly became silent.
Only the heavy breathing of the people was left, releasing the fanaticism and anger in their hearts against the blasphemers.
At this moment.
The snow girl still frowned in discomfort. In a sense, even if she was not the one who took the last hit, this was her first kill.
However, it only lasted for half a second, and she looked away.
Turning to look at the remaining chiefs' delegation.
"I, for the first and last time, tell you the name of my Lord."
"My lord is the true god who created the realm of nature and the leader of the gods; he is the controller of all things in the world; he is the master of balance who controls all rules and laws."
"Under balance, we are all citizens."
"Balance exists among all things."
The voice fell.
There was no need for the Snow Maiden to call, the tribesmen spontaneously started shouting——
"Balance exists among all things!"
"Praise my Lord, praise the balance!"
People knelt down like a wave.
There were only two guards left, protecting the snow girl, but they also bowed slightly in worship, muttering words of begging for forgiveness.
The snow girl's short figure was obviously looking up at them, but it gave them the illusion of being condescending and looking down on all living beings.
They are at a loss and even more afraid of the unknown.
The infectious energy that erupted from thousands of people swallowed them up, causing these people to forget their identities, origins and responsibilities.
"Submission or disobedience?"
Yuki-onna questioned.
Finally, one man's copper knife slipped from his hand unconsciously.
When the blade fell to the ground, he slowly knelt down.
"I am willing to surrender."
There was a cry in his voice, and he didn't even know what he was doing.
Following closely, came the second person, the third person... until everyone was kneeling on the ground, and a new round of pious praise broke out in the valley.
Not long after, Climbing arrived and as they wished, he brought a slaughtered fat sheep (ps. There are native [bighorn sheep, Rocky goats, etc.] sheep breeds in North America, which I won’t mention in detail later). The meat was fresh and tender.
The Snow Girl, on the other hand, dispersed the gathered tribesmen, leaving only the tribe elders to continue entertaining these "guests" from afar.
More than a dozen people were unconscious. Even though they were still hungry before, they no longer had any ability to sense anything and could only tremble involuntarily.
They may be regretting why they stepped into the valley arrogantly?
This tribe is too weird.
All the conquered tribes surrendered.
They prayed the name of the true God devoutly, and no one was hypocritical. On the contrary, countless people cried with tears in their eyes.
Is there really a true God in this world?
The tribal priest once said: God is invisible to humans!
"Mutton, eat it."
The women in Tushi threw their food bowls in front of them, expressing contempt and dissatisfaction.
Because they can tell at a glance whether they are truly surrendering.
The snow girl stood up at this moment...
Facing all outsiders except Zhou Li'an, she remained unsmiling; she knew that she was young and had difficulty convincing others, so she could only use a cold and hard disguise to cover up her own immaturity.
The snow girl grabbed a handful from her skin bag, but it was snow-white salt. She opened her hands on the bowl and let the handful of snow-white salt fall.
"This is the salt given by our Lord. Eat it. Guests from afar, those who taste the salt given by God and take the Holy Communion given by our Lord are the people of our Lord."
More than a dozen people came back to their senses and stared dumbfounded at the snow-white salt particles, which were sprinkled all over their food bowls as if they were free of charge.
"After mixing it well and eating it, I felt there was too much salt, so I dipped it in water to wash away some of the taste."
After saying that, Xue Nu returned to her position, imitating Zhou Li'an's usual behavior, closing her eyes to rest.
Seeing this scene, the elders around him all nodded slightly.
Witch, he is becoming more and more like my Lord.
But the dozen or so people haven't come back to their senses yet, immersed in the shock...
How much salt can you eat in one meal?
If you feel there is too much, wash it off with water before eating?
crazy!
They must be crazy!!
After a long time, someone took action, carefully dipped his finger in it, and put it in his mouth. He immediately burst into joy, grabbed the cut mutton, and swallowed it in big gulps.
When other people saw this, they finally started to eat.
When they finished eating, their mouths felt dry and their lips were chapped and sore from the salty taste. Everyone began to drink water in large gulps.
But at this moment, the young witch came over again and grabbed a handful of white particles from another skin bag.
They were startled: "No, no, witch, noble witch, we can't eat any more salt."
The snow girl shook her head and put the pellets in their water bowls: "This is the sugar given by my lord. It is as sweet as maple sugar. The children of the tribe like to drink it by soaking it in water."
This time they didn't hesitate, picked up the bowl, mixed it with their fingers, and tasted it briefly...
The sweet taste seems to cleanse their souls.
Especially after the impact of salty taste, you get this sweet taste, forming a strong contrast.
this moment.
They couldn't help but look at each other.
Perhaps, there is indeed a true God?
Otherwise, why are there such pure white salt and unprecedented sugar? Why are there such sharp weapons and spears? Why are there so many people who surrender willingly?
Not far away, a "ta-da-da" sound came.
I saw the leader of the Tushi Tribe riding on a huge beast, but he didn't pay attention to the crowd, but twisted back and shouted -
"What are you waiting for? Our Lord created horses for us, just so that we can sweep the earth with balanced glory!"
"Let's go! Take advantage of the God-given horse, open up new territories for our lord, and clear away all obstacles and heresies!!"
From behind, a roaring sound of horse hooves could be heard.
The patriarch of Tushi turned around, stopped his legs, and let out a proud and domineering shout——
"drive!!"
The horse galloped out of the valley.
Immediately after, nine figures "swish" passed by more than a dozen people one after another.
The vibration of the iron hoof hits everyone's heart, dong dong, dong dong...
In just a few breaths, the group of tall figures disappeared in the distance at the mouth of the valley, leaving only a cloud of dust.
Bang, bang bang.
The water bowls in the hands of more than a dozen people fell down in unison, splashing water all over their bodies; but without any hesitation, they all knelt down in front of the snow girl——
"The great wizard of the Tushi tribe!"
"Please let us humble people see the true God and listen to God's teachings!"
"We are willing to surrender under the balance and become the people of our Lord!"
"Praise my Lord, praise...equal...balance!!"
The snow girl smiled rarely.
It's not because of these people's obeisances.
Rather, she felt that she had completely understood the will of her master.
In just one night, she showed her strength; she showed her wealth; she showed her cruelty; she showed her kindness and generosity!
Hence, surrender and worship...and next month's chocolate.
Hehehe, I’m very happy~~~
After smiling, she returned to her previous expression and said seriously: "When the next sun rises, you must cleanse yourself of the dirt and have a sincere heart; then our Lord will receive His humble, devout people.
, bestowing blessings and rewards on you and others!”
