Elder Pusha of the Temple was considered relatively small among the Catus, standing up only to Vashak's waist. There was no armor on the elder's body, not even the slightest bit of metal. He wore a dark red robe, tightly fastened with a belt strung with beast teeth. From the exposed skin, one could see that the elder's body was painted with a totem-like pattern. There was a short bone knife tied to his left arm. Bone weapons were often used by the Temple Elders. Even the stupidest Catus knew how to operate energy-type weapons, but these Temple Elders still used the most primitive weapons. It wasn't that the elders of the Temple were extremely powerful, but that it was just a tradition. Use bone knives and bone spears as weapons to remind yourself not to forget your ancestors and to always remember where you came from. These weapons were more of a symbol, just like the bone knife in Pusha's hand.
The Temple had a transcendent status, and even Vashak had to maintain a certain degree of respect for the Temple Elders. Words like this, which were clearly filled with doubt, immediately caused the Temple Warriors to be unhappy, but Pusha didn't think much of it. Every Temple Elder did not necessarily have high combat strength, but he was definitely wise. Especially in a race like the Catus, wise men were even rarer than strong men.
"I have never doubted the Great Chieftain's martial strength. I just think that accepting the challenge of a nameless person is harmful to the Great Chieftain." Pusha pulled out the bone knife and stretched out a finger to gently press down on the blade. "The Blood Fang Sacrifice is a duel to the death. With the Great Chieftain's status, it's only natural that he wins. Such a nameless person probably won't be able to come up with any decent wealth. But if it's the Great Chieftain … "
"Elder, you just said that you have confidence in Big Brother. Now it doesn't sound like that," said the captain of the guards, Mompar, unhappily.
Pusha laughed, "Captain Mompar, don't be angry. I'm afraid something will happen. You know, the Great Chieftain's status is noble. If anything happens, it will directly affect the situation on our planet. Besides, what is our purpose in coming to Agares? The Great Chieftain shouldn't have forgotten this. At such an important moment, there's really no need to agree to someone else's challenge, so as to avoid any complications. "
Mompar waved his hand and said, "What's the point of saying all this now? If Elder Pusha had the intention to stop it, why didn't you say anything at the port? At the end of the day, you're just afraid of offending Frius. Right now, my big brother has already agreed to it, and Demonic Ring City has even arranged the venue. Do you want my big brother to go back on his word now? "
"That's right." Pu Sha smiled.
Mompar suddenly slammed the table and stood up. He pointed at Pusha and said angrily, "It's easy for you to say that, but it's my big brother who's disgraced!"
"What's a momentary gain or loss, let alone an intangible honor. Compared to that, it's more important to pacify the civil strife on our planet as soon as possible. "
Vasak spat out two streams of turbid air from his nostrils and said loudly, "Alright, stop arguing."
He said to Pu Sha: "I respect your wisdom, but please also know, as a chief and a warrior, I have my own honor. Therefore, I will not refuse tomorrow's challenge. Besides, this is just a small interlude. That nameless person has not even grasped Void Origin Energy, so how can he be my match? Elder Pusha, don't worry. "
He gestured to Mompar, and Vashak left with his men. Pusha stroked his bone knife and sighed. The temple warrior beside him comforted, "Elder, just like the Great Chief said, tomorrow is just a small interlude. Elder, don't worry."
"We Catus have never lacked courage, and Vasak is a fierce warrior. He values honor because he has never failed. At the same time, that honor has blinded his eyes. " Pusha whispered, "Although the other party is a nobody, the one who talked to Frius is not." That human named Allen not only became an ally of the two Sovereigns on Agares, but also killed the Emperor of Nelm on Mo Suo not long ago. Now that Mo Suo is in a mess, that human is not simple. "
"Our compatriot must have something extraordinary about him to be able to be with such a person. That's what I'm worried about." Pusha shook his head and said, "Recently, a dozen tribes have suddenly jumped out to oppose the Great Chief, and they have the support of the Kidds behind them." The Temple was worried that the Demon Shadow Kingdom was behind this series of events, so it asked for Dobia's help. That's why we came to Agares. Quelling the internal strife is a top priority. If anything happens to the Great Chieftain before that, then what happened on Mo Suo Star today will happen on Barbarian Stone Star tomorrow. Neither I nor the Sacred Temple wants to see this happen. "
The warriors of the Holy Temple looked at each other helplessly.
Pusha sighed and said, "Looks like Vasak won't change his mind. Now that things have come to this, we can only hope that our ancestors will protect us and let Vasak win smoothly tomorrow."
The night was dark.
It was also night, but on different planets and in different places, looking up at the night sky was a completely different scenery. On Earth's Babylon, the night sky was bright with stars; on Heaven's Star, the night sky was high and deep; in Agares' Forgotten Realm, the night sky was always dark; and in Demonic Ring City, the stars and the moon could not be seen, but the night sky was never dark, because it was reflected in a colorful blurry color by the various colored lights in the city.
Under such a night sky, Allen arrived at an open space behind the main building. Hubble was carrying a warhammer and mechanically repeating the action of lifting and smashing it down.
The Catus were sweating profusely.
Allen suddenly raised his hand and waved it, causing something to fall towards Hubble.
When Hubble turned around and raised his hammer to smash it, he suddenly saw what was thrown at him and hurriedly changed his hand to catch it. There was a wine bottle in his hand. He unscrewed the cork and the fragrance of wine assailed his nose. Hubble threw away his warhammer and raised his head to drink. He poured so quickly that the wine spilled out and landed on his chest. In the blink of an eye, he drank more than half of the bottle before spitting out a mouthful of wine and sitting down on the ground.
Allen walked to his side with another bottle of wine in his hand and said, "You should have a good rest before the battle so that you have the energy to deal with tomorrow's battle."
"I know." Hubble said, "But I can't sleep. As soon as I lie down, I think of something. I thought I had forgotten, but I didn't. It's just that I buried those things so deeply that I thought I had forgotten. "
Allen smiled and said, "So you can also speak like a poet."
"Poet, what is that?"
"It's nothing, just some sentimental people who can say beautiful things." Allen took a sip of wine and narrowed his eyes, "Everyone has some past that they can't forget and don't want to talk about." Just like me, I'll never forget the town I lived in as a child. Even though I already have hundreds of times the territory of that town, if I can exchange it, I'd rather use everything I have now to exchange for that town. Or rather, that kind of life. "
"Unfortunately, that town, that kind of life, they are on the other side of time. And I'm on this side of time, so they can be placed in my memories. Even if I become a supreme being, or even an existence above the supreme being, I can't go back to that time. "
Hubble shook the bottle, and the liquid in the bottle refracted the light of the night sky. Hubble seemed to see something in the changing light, and his voice became incomparably low. "I have a group of children. The eldest is called Mogg, a strong boy. When he was five years old, he was already able to kill an Ortoli warbeast, a strong beast that our tribe domesticated. It can be used in battles with other tribes. In short, that kid Mogg has a limitless future. I plan to let him inherit the position of chief in the future. "
"If you don't want to say it, you don't have to," Allen said.
Hubble shook his head. "No, I'm going to fight Vasak tomorrow. I didn't want to think about it before because I didn't know when I would have the chance to fight Vasak. Now is the time, and you are my friend. Although it's really weird to be friends with a human, I don't mind sharing it with you. "
"Then I'm listening, as long as you are willing to say it."
Hubble drank a mouthful of wine, his eyes wandering. "I still remember that day, I went hunting with some hunters in the tribe. It was almost winter, and we had to store enough food for the winter. We were tracking a herd of beasts, and there were quite a lot of them. If we killed their leader, we could completely keep the herd in captivity. They would be enough to survive the winter. This hunt took us a full fifteen days, and we finally drove the herd back to the tribe. On the way back, I missed those children very much, especially Mogg. I was going to give him a beast tooth as a gift. "
"But when there was still a river from the tribe, we saw that the sky was red. When I rushed back to the tribe, I realized that the red sky was caused by the smoke of the fire. Dead, my people were all dead. No matter men or women, old or young. And my dozen children, and Mogg. Their heads were nailed to stakes, and a few of Vassak's Bloodfang warriors were making fun of them. My cute Mogg, one of his eyes was gouged out, and one of the Bloodfang Warriors wanted to embed it in his armor, because Mogg's eyes are beautiful, like jewels. "
Hubble lay on the ground, as if he was kissing the ground. "I killed them all, but then a stronger team came. I was the only one who escaped, and the hunters who went hunting with me also died. My tribe disappeared just like that, but I still remember them, and I still remember seeing every face. I swear, one day, Vasak must die. "
"Because blood can only be paid with blood …" Hubble's voice gradually became softer. When Allen looked at him again, he had already fallen asleep. But there was still a murky liquid at the corner of his eyes.
