Chapter 164 Sacrifice to the Gods
A victory and the temporary retreat of the frost giants plunged the ice and snow elf tribe into joy.
The high-ranking elves obviously had more respect for Xia Wei, the beloved of the Elf Queen Angelis, and no longer had the simple awe before. This made the moon elves extremely happy.
"Li Ge, do you know that the great elders Muguer and Avilia have decided to hold a sacrificial ceremony to thank the elves and gods for their protection." Xia Wei snuggled into Li Ge's arms and adjusted her sitting position. It is convenient for someone to get some small advantages.
This can be said to be the achievement brought by Xia Wei, allowing a large elf tribe that had escaped from the world to return to the elf royal court, which was enough for Xia Wei to win the favor of the elf gods.
"Xia Wei, it seems that your status in the hearts of the gods will be further improved. In the future, you may hope to aspire to the throne of the Elf King's Court," Li Ge said with a smile.
Xia Wei was originally one of the heirs to the throne of the Elf Royal Court. The throne of elves is not like that of humans, and the rules of inheritance are strict.
As long as they can win the favor of the gods, even the least favored elf prince or princess can have a chance to ascend to the throne.
The female elf's face turned red and her breathing was a little confused. "Li Ge, I don't want to inherit the throne. In fact, staying away from the royal court and bringing the Silver Leaf Elf Tribe to the wilderness means that I have basically given up the right to inherit the throne."
"But I don't regret it. If I hadn't come to the wilderness, I wouldn't have known you." The female elf was a little moved and took the initiative to kiss her. Except for the last step, she almost let Li Ge do whatever she wanted.
The ice and snow elf tribe moved very quickly. The statues and holy symbols of the elf gods were placed in the large square in the center of the tribe.
Xia Wei, Great Elder Mugur, Saint Avilia, and the white dragon are actually believers of the elves and gods.
These high-ranking figures led a group of middle-level tribesmen to prostrate themselves in front of the statues of the elven gods. All other elven civilians, except for the soldiers who were still on duty, followed suit and prayed.
"Bring up the sacrifice," the great elder Mgul, his snow-white beard fluttering in the wind, ordered a group of elven soldiers to drag the seriously injured Frost Giant Legend and press him on the altar.
The customs of the ice and snow elves who have stayed in this ice field for two thousand years have changed somewhat. The behavior of sacrificing the blood of enemies to the gods is different from that of their compatriots in the Elf Kingdom.
Xia Wei didn't say much. This kind of ritual has been practiced by the elves since ancient times, but it is relatively rare now.
"Great elves and gods, the ice and snow elves tribe use the flesh, blood and soul of their enemies as sacrifices to express my piety to the gods."
The great elder Mugur shouted loudly, and the white dragon turned into a human form, raised his sword, and neatly chopped off the head of the legendary frost giant.
The soul of the frost giant was bound to the altar and howled. The statues of the elven gods all exuded a faint divine light, but there was no movement.
"Invite the gods to enjoy the devout offerings of the people of the Ice and Snow Elf tribe," Saint Avilia knelt down, and her sweet voice echoed under the altar.
"Very good, your piety has been recognized by me, Shevarash, the Elven God of Vengeance." A cold voice sounded in the souls of everyone, and the soul of the frost giant disappeared immediately.
The divine light on the statue calmed down, and the elven god of vengeance had accepted the sacrifice. Although it is not the main god of elves, it is still a member of the elven pantheon. The attitude of the God of Vengeance also represents the attitude of the elven gods.
Saint Avilia stood up happily, holding her staff high, "My brothers and sisters, after thousands of years, the elves and gods have once again performed miracles on the tribe, and the gods have recognized our piety."
All the elves present cheered excitedly, and some even shed tears in excitement.
It has been more than two thousand years since he was at odds with the high elves and left the Elf Court. Ordinary elven civilians have changed for several generations.
But the vast majority of elves are looking forward to the day when they can be personally recognized by the elves and gods. Now, the hope of generations has been realized.
Xia Wei was also excited. Her operation had basically been declared a success. All that was left was to completely eliminate the crisis in the Ice Elf Tribe.
Li Ge looked at the female elf with a smile, feeling that there was no big fluctuation in his heart. In his opinion, it was too early to celebrate victory. Xia Wei had told him before that the ancient giant believed in an abyss lord and might cause trouble.
The celebration continued into the evening, and many elven civilians were still not satisfied. Many male and female elves in the tribe began to create humans.
Li Ge, who was unable to sleep due to this atmosphere, said hello to Xia Wei and secretly disappeared from the Elf Tribe.
He always had a hunch that the ancient giant might be holding back some big move, so it would be safer to go and see it.
At this time, in the frost giant tribe, in a corner of the camp, there was an old frost giant priest with a terrifyingly angry face, surrounded by a dozen adult frost giants.
"Everyone, Sebas is not a qualified leader. He abandoned the tribe's tradition of believing in His Majesty Solem. For the sake of power, he threw himself into the arms of the devil."
"Since he gained power from the devil and became an ancient giant, many people in the tribe who disobeyed him were used as sacrifices to the devil."
"He wantonly started wars with various tribes in the ice field, causing the tribe's population to drop by nearly half. If this continues, whether the tribe can survive is a question."
"Brothers, we must unite and resist Sebas's notice. Otherwise, the fate waiting for us will be to become worms in the endless abyss, and we will never be able to find peace."
Li Ge, who was invisible in the dimensional gap, raised the corners of his mouth. It seemed that this time was not in vain. Now he could watch a good show.
Li Ge silently manipulated the dimensional space, and the old priest's loud voice penetrated the soundproofing magic and floated over the entire frost giant tribe.
The entire frost giant tribe is in chaos. What is right and what is wrong, the frost giant civilians still know what is right.
"Jie Jie, old Dam, you actually dare to betray me and plan to overthrow my rule. Who gave you the courage!"
Amid Sebastian's roar, a huge shadow fireball destroyed the old frost giant priest. Dam's tent.
"Brothers, today is the time to express our loyalty to His Majesty Solem." The old priest Dam's figure almost doubled with the blessing of magic.
Under his leadership, a dozen adult frost giants roared and charged. Throughout the giant camp, conflicts between supporters of both sides broke out.
Like a thunderous roar of killing, the giants, who were already grumpy, raised their butcher knives against their former compatriots.
Even the underage frost giant cubs began to fight against each other, and almost all of them were furious.
