"...Dear friends who have come from afar, on behalf of the Green Field Tribe, I would like to sincerely welcome you all!!"
"...The once-a-decade God of Food Cooking Competition is held again. I wonder if the skills of the participating contestants have made great progress after these ten years of polishing?"
"...No more nonsense, I announce!! The fourth God of Food Cooking Competition begins!!!"
Dong dong dong~~~
Boom boom boom~~~~
Buzz buzz~~~
Fluke, the legendary strongman of the new generation of the Green Field Tribe, the bugbear warrior, bravely flew into the sky, and looked at the participants who were crowded in the streets, alleys, roads and open spaces of Green Lake City according to the manuscript he had already memorized. They loudly announced the beginning of another grand event for the Green Field Tribe.
With Fluke's rough temperament, he is actually not suitable for hosting such a grand competition, because if there is no guarantee, someone will cause some minor troubles below, which requires the host to adapt quickly. As a warrior, he is very good, but he may not be able to play with his brains. There are many smart scholars and spellcasters in the tribe.
But Elder Albad just left this task to him. According to Albad, since he has been promoted to the tribal elder, he must also bear due obligations while enjoying the power of the tribe. Therefore, starting from now on honing your social, management, etc. abilities is something you should start to get used to.
On the summit square, on the viewing platform built for this grand event, Albad accompanied hundreds of envoys who came to attend the meeting and communicated with them calmly.
"Your Majesty Allen, are you still not going to participate in today's opening ceremony?"
Dick, the kobold mage who represented Pale Night in the Green Lake City Food God Competition, glanced at the backs of the two old gods enjoying delicious snacks not far away, and then took the initiative to ask about a topic that everyone was concerned about. .
Upon hearing Dick's question, many pairs of eyes and ears pricked up, and they turned to look at Albad, who was sitting at the bottom left of the most conspicuous golden throne in the square, waiting for his answer.
"The patriarch of my family has been studying master-level dishes and improving his cooking skills over the years. He definitely has little interest in competitions between unsatisfactory chefs in the tribe. But please don't worry, the patriarch of the clan submitted a request to all parties thirty years ago. We have not forgotten what we promised, and we have no intention of breaking the promise. The corresponding results will be explained to everyone after the competition is over!!"
All tribes in the Mansha Alliance attach great importance to this competition. The envoys sent by many tribes to watch the competition are legendary figures, which can be regarded as second only to the status and strength of the envoys from the first competition. For this meeting, many tribesmen were counting the days and waiting. After finally waiting for this moment, no one wanted to miss it.
Of course, the Green Lake City Cooking Competition itself is actually worthy of the participation of various tribes and forces. At any rate, the food cooked by the chefs in this competition is also of good value, especially for those forces with deep pockets but uneven family talents. The temptation Still not small.
Many of the winning dishes in the previous three competitions were auctioned and brought back for consumption, and many stories of miracles were spread. For example, the seedlings cultivated by a certain family got stuck at a certain level. For several years, there was no breakthrough. Later, the family spent a lot of money to bid for a magical dish. After going back and giving it to the talent to eat, the breakthrough was successfully completed within two days.
This kind of news is everywhere now, and it is a good advertisement for the effect of magic dishes. The only regret is that there are no examples of people who have broken through the threshold of legend after eating magic dishes, which makes the magic dishes more convincing. Still missing a little weight.
"hope so!"
Kobold mage Dick spoke in an indifferent tone with some dissatisfaction, but when he saw that the two mainstays not far away did not respond to Albad's answer, he also knew that he had nothing else to do now. Method.
The loud cheers and celebrations in the city gradually stopped, and then Fluke, the burly bugbear standing hundreds of meters above the ground, spoke again: "Before the competition officially begins, please welcome us to the competition with warm applause and a serious attitude. The most important idol - the God of Cookery, enters the stage!!!"
"Wow!!!"
"Ah~~~~"
The Temple of Nature is secretly squeezing the living space of the Church of God of Cookery and suppressing their rise. Naturally, Albad and Zelang will not be able to hold back. Although it is not yet suitable for the Church of the God of Cookery to stand on the front stage and appear in the public eye, it is still continuing to use small tricks to test the bottom line of the temple.
The psychology of the top leaders of both sides is like a mirror, and small-scale battles are going on in invisible places. However, in this delicate environment, no one dares to break up easily.
The south is jointly led by the Natural Church, Da Vinci and the Centaur Court. Another large-scale counterattack against the human coalition is in full swing. Although they are under attack from both sides by the Orc Empire and the Wilderness Alliance, the overall strength of the Human Alliance is worthy of being the first among the four major civilizations. It is still able to deal with the offensives of the Orcs and the Wilderness with ease. The war between the three parties has been victorious. Even after thirty years of fierce fighting, Time passed, and there was still no sign of victory.
On the other hand, at the stage when the northern Elf Kingdom should exert its efforts in the mid-term war, it was slapped on the head by the forces of the wilderness and the dwarves one after another. The losses were considerable and caused domestic turmoil. Forced by the situation, in order to stabilize the conservative forces that gradually emerged within, the Elf Kingdom began to shrink its unimportant displays, and its performance on the main front was not too aggressive. For a while, the frontline battlefield was much calmer.
However, judging from the ongoing activities of recruiting troops, collecting and hoarding resources, etc. in the Elf Kingdom, it is obvious that they have not completely given up their plans to continue the war. However, in which direction the opponent's subsequent troops will be invested, it has become the dwarf Kingdom and the wilderness. An issue that the Alliance pays more attention to.
In view of this, the North, under the strong request of Alan, a saint, has been maintaining the logistical supplies of more than 200,000 troops in the north, as well as regular training and other matters, just to be able to guard against the high probability of the elves. Counterattack action.
The alliance is now focusing on the south, and the powerful enemies in the north can only rely on local snakes like Allen. Therefore, even if the top leaders of the Temple Church have determined that Allen is on the road to becoming a god, they will not be able to him and his church for the time being. , the tribe was built into a heretical evil god force, but they waited patiently for the war to end before making any further calculations.
A team of mighty, shirtless goblin warriors worked together to carry a five- to six-meter-tall Bugbear God of Food sculpture. When Fluke's introduction sounded, they walked firmly toward the competition venue southwest of the outer city. I walked slowly down from the Peak Square.
The God of Cookery sculpture displayed in front of everyone is dressed in the same uniform as the Magic Kitchen. He holds a pot in his left hand and a spatula in his right hand. He looks at the pot seriously, as if a dish is being cooked inside. Delicious food in general.
The God of Cookery sculpture also has many nondescript garlands, shoulder straps and other accessories. At first glance, it looks like a mascot made for a celebration, but in the eyes of some people, it immediately caused a lot of emotional fluctuations.
Those believers who have joined the Church of the God of Cookery and have real statues of the God of Cookery in their hands now look at this sculpture of the God of Cookery that suddenly appeared, with a bit of disappointment and indignation on their faces. That is, the statue of Bugbear is tall and majestic. The face is also based on the most common organ features among popular goblins. It looks familiar to everyone but cannot find the origin. It is completely different from the original God of Cookery, which is based on Allen's real image.
The priests and chief priests from the churches of the Natural Temple had a gloomy look on their faces, with a dull aura. Even though the 'God of Food' was introduced as a mascot by the host of Green Field, they knew what it represented. Very.
This was a kind of counterattack by Albad and Zelang during this time against the churches of the Temple of Nature robbing their potential believers, and it was also a powerful temptation. Now that everyone is well aware of the path Allen is taking, and the reputation of the God of Cooking Cooking Competition has also been established, then we can use this as an excuse to build a virtual statue of the God of Cooking for this competition. Although it feels a bit arrogant, but looking at Feynman There is no precedent for various celebrations in the world.
Moreover, the statue of the God of Cookery they erected this time has no resemblance to Allen. Even if the temple wants to hold people responsible for this in the future, the Green Field Tribe will have a reason to defend itself.
As long as the image of the God of Cookery is established and a concrete image is formed in the minds of many outsiders who do not know what is going on, it will be regarded as a big victory for the belief in the God of Cookery, and it will also be a disguised form of allowing the Church of the God of Cookery to crowd out in the dark A crack opened leading to the light.
Albad secretly cast his gaze at the leaders of several major churches in Green Lake City not far away, and there were faint sweat spots on his palms placed on the chair brackets. This sudden attack pulled out this statue. The only thing I was more worried about was the reaction of the temple forces. I originally thought that the leader of the Allen clan would show up in this competition. With him in charge, even if the leaders of the temple church were resentful and dissatisfied, I believe they would It will not be shown in front of a saint's pillar.
But who would have thought that Alan, the patriarch of the clan, has been practicing in seclusion and has no plans to leave the seclusion, which makes Arbad's arrangement now somewhat risky. This is why he personally went to the underground temple to investigate and question Zelang a few days ago.
Seeing the officiant of the Church of Nature, the legendary pastor Greta's gloomy eyes flashed with a hint of determination. Just when she was about to take action, a heavy and powerful voice suddenly sounded, immediately interrupting Greta's intention to stand up. body shape.
"The stuff you little guys have come up with is really interesting. People outside are spreading the word about your patriarch Allen's superb cooking skills, and regard him as the incarnation of the God of Cookery in Feynman's world. You don't follow your patriarch's instructions? Xiong Junzhi made a prototype to build this non-existent statue of the God of Cookery, but he came up with such a nondescript thing. When your clan leader sees it later, he will definitely smash it to pieces with a sword!!"
Bricken, the jackal demigod who is one of the five pillars of the wilderness, suddenly spoke up. Although his words were full of ridicule about the rules of the Green Tribe competition, and by the way, he also made fun of Allen, whom the Green Tribe regarded as their spiritual support and idol, but No goblin dared to show his displeasure to Bricken.
"Sir Bricken, you can't talk nonsense. Anything related to 'gods' in Feynman's world is taboo. The good days of our Green Field Tribe have just passed a few years ago, and now outside The nonsense about our clan leader has begun to spread, linking him with the God of Cookery who never existed in this world. It would not be good if someone with intentions uses this to sow discord in the ears of Lord Greta and the others."
Even though what he did was taboo, Albad followed Bricken's teasing words and explained eloquently: "So, we decided to just set up a person who would never be found with our clan leader. The 'God of Cookery' that bears some resemblance is revealed, so that no one will associate this thing with the leader of our clan in the future."
"No one else knows whether there is a God of Cookery in this world. I think the noble gods behind the Temple of Nature must know it. How could they be so stupid as to be provoked by others!!"
Bricken gave the dwarf mage a meaningful look and continued with interest: "Pastor Greta, are you right?"
"...There are heresies who are full of greed but don't know the bounds of heaven and earth. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many evil churches in Feynman's world, hiding in dark and filthy places like rats and insects, living in fear all day long."
Greta, who originally wanted to directly question Albard about this behavior, lost her previous impulse because of Bricken's sudden intervention. She just glared at Albard with a sinister tone and said: A few threatening words: "I believe that the leaders of the Green Field Tribe know the power of relationships, and they will not risk the destruction of their entire clan to establish relationships with evil spirits and false gods."
"If you really have anything to do with these forbidden things, even the saint Alan, you will not be able to protect the millions of living beings of your clan!! Cherish your current life!!"
"Haha, I would like to thank Greta-sama for your kind words first!"
Albad smiled heartily, as if he couldn't hear the strong murderous intention in Greta's words, and accepted everything before him calmly, but when he and Greta looked at each other, there was a deep and strong murderous intention deep in his eyes. , suppressed in the depths of his mind.
Since the development of the Green Field Tribe, it has never been protected by the so-called gods in the sky. Everything is the result of hundreds of years of hard work, fighting, bloodshed, and sweat by their great patriarch Allen and thousands of Green Field people. Only through business can we achieve our current achievements. Nowadays, these shameless guys, under the banner of protecting the world, are showing off their power on their own tribe's territory, pointing fingers, and threatening the choices made by the patriarchs they respect and admire. Even if Albad has a strong and calm reason, You can't help but feel strong ill will towards these guys.
