Since the underground team operation system was re-established, although two-thirds of the kobolds still need to eat in the open-air canteen every day, the meal points are staggered, and only three or four hundred eat at the same time at a time. Although the scene is not small, it is With nearly 1,500 kobolds gathered together, the situation was completely different.
The setting sun was still hanging halfway up the mountain, and the large square of the Black Well Tribe was filled with the sounds of dogs barking and barking, making it very lively.
The news spread quickly, and most of the kobolds in the square knew about the Dragon Hunting Conference, and their excitement could not be concealed in their words and expressions.
The worship of dragons is engraved in their bones.
Dragon-seeking meditation is a legend known to every kobold.
Finding your own true dragon and unlocking your dragon abilities is what every kobold dreams of.
They never thought that one day, this dream would be so close to them.
Thirty-five huge bonfires illuminated Heijing Square like daylight. In thirty-one large pots, the stewed wild boar meat was crispy and tender, mixed with various vegetables. The alluring aroma wafted out, filling the square. Every inch of space.
In the wilderness outside the square, there were countless uninvited guests attracted by the fragrance. From time to time, screams were heard. It was probably some unlucky guy who accidentally triggered the traps set by the Trap Tribe.
Except for the kobold soldiers on duty, who clenched their weapons and stared into the darkness, the other kobolds turned a deaf ear to these movements. They were full of confidence in the power of the tribe. Those hunters really rushed in. Who was in the hanging pot? , it’s really hard to say.
For the first time, the eyes of the kobolds did not fall on the hanging pot in front of them.
Instead, he looked feverishly at the central rostrum. There was also a hanging pot set up on it, just for a few dozen people, but it was the core of the entire Black Well tribe.
Goss trotted all the way to the rostrum and reported breathlessly: "Sir, the Heijing tribe should have 1,422 people, but in fact there are 1,422 people, except for 120 people." Those on duty are standing guard, and everyone else has taken their seats.”
"Very good, let's get started." Gavin stood up without hesitation, walked to the front of the podium, and slowly raised his right hand.
The square, which was still whispering, suddenly became extremely quiet, leaving only the crackling fire and the steaming pots, and the fragrance was wafting.
Countless pairs of scarlet eyes gathered together.
Under the gaze of these eyes, Gavin didn't feel nervous at all, but was just a little proud and excited, and slowly said: "The reason why we are gathered here tonight does not need to be repeated by me.
The Dragon Hunting Conference can be held. You can't just be grateful to me. You should also be grateful to Susie and her fellow tribesmen of the Pitfall Tribe. It is their selfless contribution to the precious heritage that their tribe has guarded for more than a century, allowing you to find yourself and find the world. A chance to become a real dragon.
Tonight, let us sing for their selflessness and raise a glass for their good deeds.
Today, your destiny is changed because of me, and tomorrow, my destiny is forged by you.
Play music and have a banquet. "
Gavin spoke in kobold language. His voice was not high-pitched, but it carried a strange vibration that carried far and wide with the wind. Not only the kobolds in the entire square could hear it clearly, but also the kobolds standing guard in the distance. Human sentries can also get a rough idea.
This is a little trick to use psychic abilities to control magic. It is not even a serious spell. This is the result of Gavin's study for a long time specifically for speeches. This will be the one he will use most frequently in the future. skills.
Following the order, the cow horns and cowhide drums in the four corners of the square sounded at the same time. The rhythm was slow and consistent. There were no complicated syllable changes, but only passionate resonance. Each blow was like a knock on the head of a dog. in people's hearts.
The voices of kobolds are destined to not be good at singing, but they have their own music. The kobold bards are said to be the best masters of percussion and wind instruments in Faerûn. This can be seen from the current drum sound. .
These players from the Black Well Tribe are only part-time workers, not bards who have started a professional level.
With the Dragon Hunting Conference behind them, this all-pig feast is destined to be just a supporting role. The kobolds in the square are still eating very happily, but they don't have the usual sense of happiness and satisfaction. After they have almost eaten, they put down the bowls and chopsticks, looking eagerly. Looking at the rostrum, waiting for the start of the Dragon Hunting Conference.
"Leader Susie, let's get started. Today, their minds are destined not to be about food." Gavin smiled and said to the leader of the Pitfall Tribe, "Then it's up to you, you guys, don't be on top either." The cool breeze is blowing, go down and join the tribe."
Gavin's last words were to the restless kobold commanders.
Although they had previously entered the dragon-seeking meditation under the guidance of Su Xi, they still did not want to miss such a grand scene before them.
Hearing what Gavin said, he felt as if he was on the verge of an amnesty. He simply said a few polite words, then hurried off the podium and joined the ranks of the kobolds below.
"We will definitely not disappoint the leader's expectations." Leader Susie slowly stepped forward.
Compared with her original simple dress, she is now dressed in a rich costume. Not only are the scales on her body painted with various mysterious dragon patterns, but she also wears a mask carved from animal bones on her head and holds a handle in her hand. The head of the bone staff is also a fist-sized statue carved from animal bones, resembling a dragon skull.
People can't help but think of sacrificial shamans.
Not only Susie, but also the kobolds of the Trap Tribe were more or less dressed up, and even the lightest ones had dragon patterns painted all over their bodies.
I guess this is their ancient custom. I wonder if it will help in hunting for dragons.
Gavin never paid much attention to such matters, but gave them the utmost respect.
The existence of any custom has a certain root cause.
Pretending to understand without understanding and meddling indiscriminately are taboos for those in power.
Susie slammed the dragon skull staff in her hand and said in a melodious tone: "The Dragon Hunting Conference has officially begun. Focus on your heart, focus on your soul, listen to the call from the ancient times, the call from the dragon deep in your heart, get close to him, Worship him, embrace him, and you will find the origin of your bloodline and your own true dragon."
The sound clearly came from a short body that was no taller than her own waist, but it was not the usual high-pitched cry, but a low bell-like roar, like a great beast awakening from her body.
The overwhelming earth elements surged under her feet and gathered around her.
This is not her power alone, but the power of the entire Pit Tribe kobolds.
In the Black Well Square, the kobolds of the Trap Tribe were the first to enter the dragon-seeking meditation. Then, the Black Well kobolds around them, attracted by the invisible magic power, entered a mysterious state of introspection and started the first dragon-seeking meditation in their lives. .
Dragon-seeking meditation is typical, it can be understood but cannot be expressed.
If Susie was asked to verbally describe the Dragon-Seeking Meditation, she would probably be scratching her head and could only carry it hand-in-hand.
The most difficult thing is the first few times. As long as you have the experience of the first few times and explore by yourself in the future, you can easily enter the dragon-seeking meditation.
But there are still benefits to holding the Dragon Hunting Conference together.
When a kobold without a career template is engaged in dragon-seeking meditation, the elements it can induce are relatively limited.
But when more than a thousand kobolds enter the dragon-seeking meditation at the same time, the elements that are induced are a bit astonishing.
The ground in Black Well Square was pulsing slowly, as if responding to their call.
