Seeing the ball kicked back by Snorri, the dwarves in the conference room began to think.
"I may know something!" Balin said hesitantly behind Snorri. Being the focus of all the dwarves' attention for the first time, he felt a little nervous.
"Speak, man! Be bold!" Snorri encouraged his attendants. It seemed that his book was not in vain, Snorri nodded secretly in his mind.
Since Snorri has yet to raise an army or take control of a fortress on his own, Balin has been unable 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 nodded when they heard this.
"Blue Sheep, that's not too difficult. Do you have any other requirements?" the ranger captain asked.
"It is best to have healthy and intact lambs without disabilities." 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 and extended their opinions to 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 self-explanatory ritual, 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 mountains to catch some lambs! Be gentle and don't hurt them! This is a sacrifice to the Mother Goddess. What a great honor!"
Genom exclaimed, "If I hadn't been unable to outrun them, I would have led them myself!"
"Brother, do you 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 make our nest shabby and 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 tidying up their little outpost, the letter arrived at Thorgrim-the-Revenger in Karaz-a-Karak.
The dwarf king became more and more happy as he read. Since he succeeded to the throne, he has been oppressed by the densely packed hatred articles in the book of hatred. But he has smiled more in just a few days than he has in a year.
"Copy the contents of the letter to all clans and guilds, and send some people to the square and tavern to promote it! I want as many clansmen as possible to know that the Mother Goddess will bestow a favor!" Thorgreen gave the order. .
The scene shifts to the throne room in Torrent Pass. It is not as grand as the grand throne room of Karaz-a-Karak, but as a city of engineers, Jufuba's throne room also has its own uniqueness.
There is a more famous name here - Echo Hall. It is known for its stunningly sophisticated acoustic design, with a low, circular dome that reflects sound evenly into every corner of the hall, allowing a large number of dwarves to easily talk to each other without raising their voices.
Sitting on the main seat was an older dwarf with an almost white beard. He was slightly older than Thorgrim. This was King Serendin of Jufba.
Listen 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 was not as wise as his beard, but still seemed a bit rough and reckless. .
"Then it seems that he is not a coward favored by the Mother Goddess, but a warrior!" Serendin nodded.
"Do you think Nagnom can defend the Mountain Lake Castle?" a strong dwarf sitting on Serendin's left side asked. This is the leader of the second largest clan in Zhufuba and currently serves as the internal affairs officer of the city.
"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 currently serves as the gatekeeper of Jufuba. This is a warrior who has one man to guard against, and no one can stop him.
"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 the news a few days ago that Mustache is getting married! Speaking of which, Balentin, you have to give me some credit! If..."
Just as King Serendin continued to speak, a hammer guard at the door ran in to interpret. "Everyone, we have a messenger from Karak-Vahn."
"That is to tell us the news of recapturing the mountain fortress! We already know this." King Serendin shook his beard and said. On his way back, Balentine also cleared out some remaining Skaven in some mines and tunnels, which delayed him for 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.
"He was accompanied by a Hammer of Eternity guard! They said the content was very important!" the Hammer Guard added. "Send it up!" Serendin gave the order.
"Greetings to you! King Serendin of Jufuba!" The Hammer of Eternity guard walked in and beat his chest in salute. "Master Snorri has conveyed the oracle of the Mother Goddess. She will send down divine grace on Karak-Varn in three days!"
"Ancestral Gods!" The dwarves in the Echo Hall exclaimed in unison. The acoustic design is almost deafening.
