"Whoosh whoosh whoosh —" A gust of wind blew from the ground, and the hundreds of torches at the bottom of the pit suddenly burst into flames, almost touching the braids of the centaurs who were looking down from above.
After a series of exclamations, the flames shrunk down and twisted into a lasso, wrapping around the Blood Alliance Guards who were cursing out loud.
However, the ring of fire moved with the centaurs, so they only felt a burning sensation, but it did not burn them.
Red flames rose from the brazier beside Kalixi, forming a clear wall of fire, protecting her and the three Blood Alliance Guards in the center.
"Witch!" The centaurs' almond eyes trembled in fear, their sharp voices breaking as they shouted.
The tip of Bono's nose was only an inch away from the ring of fire, and his thick nose hair seemed to have been burnt.
A drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead, and he did not move, growling, "Danny Alice, this is the Horse King City, the Holy Land of the Centaurs at the foot of the Mother of God Mountain! What are you doing? "
Dosh Kalin also looked over with a sharp gaze, as if he was about to scold her.
Danny did not want to argue with the old woman, so she snapped her fingers before they could do anything. All the bright red rings of fire turned into green smoke and dissipated into the night sky.
She smiled and waved her hand, "Don't be so agitated, but my Blood Alliance Guards have spoken the truth, and the truth is always so hard to accept.
Everyone's anger surged, and I was worried that you would do something rash and get hurt by me, so I used the ring of fire to cool everyone down. "
These words sounded like fallacious logic and heresy.
But the ring of fire just now proved that if they were rash, they would be the ones getting hurt.
The terrifying fire magic did indeed make them feel as if they had fallen into a cold abyss, and they immediately woke up.
Kalixi spoke the truth that did not sound like the truth at all, but the truth was always so hard to accept …
Ugh, this was what she said, and it was the truth.
The group of khars almost vomited blood.
The one-eyed old woman stared with her black eyes, stomping her walking stick and shouting, "This is the Holy Land of the Centaurs …"
Danny interrupted her, "Yes, this is a place of worship, of course you can use supernatural powers."
The old woman's face turned red from choking.
Indeed, a place of worship should be praying to the gods, and it definitely involves supernatural powers. Kalixi's Fire Witchcraft is not against the rules, but as a high priestess, she doesn't seem to know any Witchcraft!
Well, it was very awkward. Among all the people present, Danny was the most qualified to go on stage to offer sacrifices.
"Khal, remember that we are all brothers of the same bloodline at the foot of the Goddess's Mountain. This old woman is going to start arranging the altar, so don't quarrel anymore. "She could only muddle through like this.
Old Khal Mosso muttered, "We don't want to argue either, but Danny Lilith lied about the number of bells.
A true centaur would never falsify the number of bells.
She brought the customs of the cunning people of the Land of the Setting Sun (Westeros) to the Holy City. She is not qualified to challenge the Khal of the Khal. "
There was only one purpose for tonight's sacrifice: to seek revelation from the gods and see if the Khal of Khal would be born.
In other words, should the 'King of Khal Challenge' that Danny suggested be held?
In theory, any khal could request to challenge the 'khal of khals' — as long as he wasn't afraid of death.
But there was a prerequisite. Danny had to obtain the right to challenge the khal.
Originally, this qualification had already been recognized by Dosh Kalin and all the khals.
But now, because of the number of bells, her qualification was being questioned.
Just as Old Mosso said, centaurs were true to their word. They saw the number of bells and the length of their braids as a symbol of glory, and they would never lie.
"How did you make so many bells in just three or four years?" The one-eyed old woman frowned.
She was also complaining in her heart: I was already prepared for you to issue the challenge, so why are you still causing trouble?
Aggo said, "Dosh Kalin, you don't know how hard Kalixi worked …"
"Cough cough, I didn't work hard. It was just a coincidence, a coincidence!" Danny coughed lightly and laughed.
"Hard work" was also ruined by some little fresh meat. She didn't want to be labeled as someone who didn't know how hard she worked behind the scenes.
"Just now, the little brat beside you said that a black steel bell represents a god. But you have seven or eight black steel bells on your head. Could it be that you defeated seven or eight gods?"
Bono felt that he had caught a huge flaw and laughed proudly.
"Don't be so surprised!"
Rakarlo looked at him with disdain and counted with his fingers. "Immortal, Rat Chef, Crab King, Loach King, Bellerion (Red Dragon of Sheep Eggs), Bat Demon, Spider Demon, and Three-Eyed Crow. They were either defeated or killed by Kalixi.
There were ten steel bells in total.
You can imagine how high the quality of the bells on Kalixi's head is. "
Yes, the bells were prepared by Jiqi and Irri, and Rakarlo had an affair with the two girls. Thus, he knew the origin of each bell better than Danny.
However, what he said was the truth, and there was not a single centaur or dosi karin who believed him.
"This centaur is crazy!" A khal pointed at Rakarlo and said.
"What is he talking about? Bat Demon, Spider Demon, Three-Eyed Crow … I've never heard of them."
"He must be lying. I've been to all the cities in the Ursos continent and witnessed the temples of many gods. But I've never even heard of the names of most of the gods he mentioned." Old Mosso said with absolute certainty.
The centaurs discussed among themselves, expressing their disbelief. But this time, they didn't mock him wantonly.
However, there were a few khals who had just returned from the Upper Rohn River. They exchanged glances with their bloodriders, their expressions grave. Turning to look at Dani, his gaze also became uncertain and uncertain.
Fortunately, the one-eyed old woman also knew about the changes in the Rohn River. She asked with a trembling voice, "You really killed the Crab King?"
"How could it be fake? The crab shell that can cover this hole is right at Astapor Pier. Too many people have seen it. "Rakarlo said.
"Ah, the rumors are true. She really killed the Crab King!" A khal immediately cried out involuntarily.
The old woman looked deeply at Danny. She didn't pursue the matter of the bells and immediately arranged for people to start setting up the sacrificial items.
The other centaurs, including Bono, all frowned in contemplation, silently acknowledging the quality of Danny's bells.
— — compared to a Deity, all of their bells were as worthless as horse dung.
Soon, the eunuchs in charge of serving the old woman brought over a large bronze brazier, big enough to fit a fat pig.
Then, the eunuchs threw bundles of light purple hay into the brazier and lit them up. Smoke rose in spirals, rising into the air towards the full moon.
In an instant, the rich smell of grass filled the entire hole. Danny frowned. This smell …
Before she could understand the effects of the grass smoke, a fat eunuch with a big belly held up a bison horn that was half the height of a person and blew a long, low sound.
The group of Dosh Kalins each held a bronze bell, shaking it to produce a strange crisp sound that resembled the chirping of birds.
They chanted ancient prayers and danced around a huge brazier in a barbaric and solemn ritual dance. Under their painted leather vests, their buttocks swayed back and forth like pickled cucumbers, glistening with sweat.
Danny looked at the scene in front of her and smelled the fragrance of the grass. Her consciousness was dazed for a moment before she reacted. There were no fluctuations of magic or soul power. This smoke was a hallucinogen!
Damn it, she had underestimated this group of Dosh Kalins. They also had their own protective skills!
Perhaps, the altar was designed to look like a pit to make it easier to inject the smoke?
The smoke gradually dissipated. Perhaps the old woman smelled it every day and had high resistance. She was the first to wake up from the trance state of "God Summoning". Her chanting gradually lowered and finally stopped the ritual dance. She retreated to the side and became completely silent.
Only the one-eyed old woman was left facing the extinguished fire and the bronze brazier. She closed her black eye and looked into the future — the thoughts of the centaurs present.
Even Ah Ge and the other two were stunned. They widened their almond-shaped black and white eyes, holding their breaths as they waited for the old woman's prophecy.
In this large hall filled with thousands of people, Danny could actually hear the chirping of birds a few hundred meters away from the sacred mountain. She could also hear the soft sound of the Womb Lake lapping against the embankment.
She raised her head and looked around. Even Bono and the old fox Moso were clenching their fists, looking nervous.
This …
Was the Dosh Kalins' protective skills too strong, or were the centaurs too naive and gullible?
Just as her thoughts were running wild, the old woman suddenly opened her single eye and looked at her in shock.
The old woman's lips were trembling, her eyes filled with fear, as if she was extremely afraid of Danny.
"I, I saw her face. It's you!" The old woman's body was trembling, her withered twig-like right hand pointed at Danny.
Danny was also stunned. This didn't seem like an act!
Or could it be that this veteran actor was a god of acting, completely immersed in the role and even believed it herself?
"It's her!" A few of the oldest old women stepped forward and pointed at Danny.
Uh, there's an extra?
However, the atmosphere was very good. Danny gripped the armrest of the chair tightly, her body leaning forward with a serious expression … She was trying her best to look like she was riding the steed of the world.
"Her horse is as swift as the wind, the Khalasar behind her covers the entire land. She will lead the centaurs to defeat the darkness, bringing an endless long … Eh, what am I saying?"
The one-eyed old woman shouted with her sharp voice for a while, then suddenly froze, her expression filled with doubt as she muttered to herself, "That's not right. Why is her prophecy different from the other steeds of the world?"
Because her voice was too soft, other than the Wind God Danny who could hear her words in the wind, everyone else thought that she was chanting.
Danny almost couldn't maintain her serious expression. However, she was also getting more and more curious. That old woman really didn't seem to be faking it …
After thinking for a while, the old woman decided not to mention the prophecy anymore, and directly announced, "Kalixi is riding a horse. She will become the steed of the world!"
"She is riding the steed of the world!" All the Dosh Kalins pointed at Danny and shouted together.
The expressions of all the khans changed. The centaurs on the pit first looked at each other, then shouted, "Riding the steed of the world! Kalixi, riding the steed of the world! "
Their voices were like the waves of the sea, spreading outwards. In an instant, the foot of the Goddess Mountain was filled with shouts of "Riding the steed of the world".
"It's here again!"
Two kilometers away, in a tavern in the market east of the city, a zebra man boss who had lived in the Horse King City for almost five years grumbled, "The centaurs are crazy about riding the steed of the world. They come here almost once a year."
"Maybe it's different this time. I heard that it's the Dragon Queen." A customer beside him said.
"Hmph, I saw her a few years ago. At that time, the centaurs were all cheering for her unborn son, calling him the steed of the world. But now?" The zebra man boss said disapprovingly.
"Rumble!" At this moment, there were horses galloping in from outside the door. Countless knights were galloping along the street, shouting, "Tomorrow morning, by the Palace Lake, the first female khal will challenge the khal of khals. The sacred lake will be open to everyone in the Horse King City!"
