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, then strode out of the room. In order to wait for news about him and the pursuing troops last night, the dwarves in the outpost did not celebrate their victory with wine and banquets but remained on alert until he returned.
After the threat of the fleeing ratmen was over, the dwarves relaxed and rested, so they all slept soundly. And because Snorri deliberately woke up early, almost all the clan members were still asleep.
Snorri nodded with relief when he saw this scene. He slowly walked up to the watchtower. He knew that there was a warning rune loudspeaker on the top of the tower.
The people on guard duty on the tower were two wounded soldiers. They were 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. I could only lie down on the railing and rest.
They greeted Snorri warmly as he came up to the tower.
"You woke up so early! Dear Goddess of Choice!"
"Praise you for your courage and strength! The Ancestral 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.
"What kind of goblin keeps barking so early in the morning!?"
"Here are the rats? Where are they? Should I chop their heads off?"
"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 kid, 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.
"The Ancestor Goddess sent a divine prophecy to me last night. He praised all of us for our efforts to recover Karak-Wane. In order to encourage us, He will send divine grace in three days to purify the entire Mountain Lake Castle!"
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 was digesting the information contained in this sentence. What troubled Snorri yesterday was the timing of "the Mother Goddess's grace".
He knew that it was a full day's journey from Mountain Lake Castle to the three nearest dwarf castles: Torrent Pass, Eternal Peak, and Karak-Domar. It will take a day for the messenger to arrive, and another day for the dwarves over there to arrive. It is also essential to leave at least one day for this explosive news to spread widely.
He originally planned to set aside 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 personally!" 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 such matters, and his calmness convinced all the dwarves of this. As he descended from the tower, the dwarves broke out into heated discussions and cheers.
"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 a divine grace. This is amazing. It’s so rare!” Gnom shouted excitedly!
"Don't worry, young man!" The gold-seeker's uncle suddenly thought and said.
"Your father Thorgrin may believe what the messengers say, but the lords of the other two mountain fortresses 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 her divine grace 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 the 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.
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, whether fighting or mining, the names of the gods are almost unknown. Just pay lip service.
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 he has not participated in the mountains for an unknown period of time. The sacrificial ceremony in the castle!
"Well, here comes Granny!"
Seeing that he couldn't speak anymore, the old dwarf temporarily held the ancestor's feet and shouted 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. He asks nothing of us, but we cannot repay the favor. !" Snorri said solemnly.
Thanks to the beep number for being in the heart of the people. I went straight to the chrysanthemum. If you ask, you will know it. The International Board of Housing Management, the monthly ticket of 150916065400735 and the reward without asking too much. There will be an extra update tomorrow night
