Uchiha Madara's Journey to the Worlds

Chapter 291 19 First Sacrifice
The village is still full of people coming and going, the villagers are working hard in the farmland, and the busy vendors are also warmly entertaining the customers. However, on the surface of the usual peaceful scene, people's hearts are extremely depressed.

This year is the year of offering sacrifices to the gods. According to common sense, this should be the most lively and happiest day for the people.

However, the way of offering sacrifices in their kingdom is a bit different, instead of offering precious treasures, it is a living sacrifice of a pair of boys and girls...

The people favored by the gods need to sacrifice boys and girls in exchange for the prosperity and harvest of the land protected by the gods.

Although it is very cruel, Suwa Daimyojin is still very kind, and does not force them to sacrifice once a year. The sacrifice once every five years is the minimum bottom line, and the villagers readily accept it.

But in the past few years, some strange things have happened in the village. None of the children born to pregnant women is a girl. At first, the villagers didn't pay much attention to it, but seeing the day of the sacrifice approaching, the villagers' hearts Worry and anxiety are also heightened.

People began to have trouble sleeping and eating, and they kept trying various methods to collect sacrifices, but to no avail. If the sacrifices could not be carried out in time and angered Suwa Daimyo, then they who were not protected by the gods would inevitably be attacked by the outside world. The monsters perish.

Even some whimsical young people have already started planning how to escape from this kingdom.

In such a depressing situation, a huge white snake suddenly came out of the forbidden area of ​​the forest and slid slowly to the entrance of the village.

The surrounding villagers knelt down on the ground with pale faces when they saw the giant snake at the first sight. They were very aware of the horror of the giant snake in front of them.As the subordinate god of Suwa Daimyo, its appearance generally means that the gods will issue new instructions to them.

"what……"

With the support of the villagers, an old white-haired old man slowly knelt down in front of the giant snake. His voice trembled with fear, but he still asked in awe.

"Master Yuzuokou, I wonder what kind of instructions Lord Shenming will give you this time?"

"Closely monitor the aliens from outside, and report immediately if there is any abnormality."

Sticking out his slender tongue, Yuzuokou didn't talk too much nonsense, and gave orders directly. Before it left, it didn't forget to remind the fearful villagers.

"Tomorrow is the day of sacrifice, I hope you have prepared the tribute."

After conveying the god's request, Yu Zuokou stopped staying too much, and twisted the huge snake body into the forest.

But the pale-faced villagers still knelt on the ground, and the surroundings became dead silent.

"what!"

The old village chief who was kneeling on the ground suddenly let out a wail, and his already wrinkled face seemed to be a little older.

Today is the deadline, but there are no virgins who meet the standards in their village!

If this continues until tomorrow's sacrifice, the entire village will suffer the wrath of the gods.

Once the gods get angry, the crops in the whole country will no longer be harvested, and the fertile land will become a barren desert.

This this……

"How should this be done?!"

Hearing the cries of the village chief, the faces of the surrounding villagers were ashen. They could already imagine the scene of God's wrath descending tomorrow.

"Master Village Chief, I have a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not..."

At this moment, a villager stood up from the ground, and he gently lifted the old village head up from the ground, with a little hesitation on his face.

"speak."

The old village head responded weakly.

Now that we have entered a deadlock, what else can we not say?
"Actually, there is another girl in our village who meets the standard, but..."

"Just what! As long as they are virgins who meet the standards, they must be offered! This is related to the safety and survival of the entire village!!"

The old village chief's eyeballs that had become cloudy due to despair suddenly lit up, and he straightened up with some strength, and his slender hands directly pressed the shoulders of the villager in front of him.

"only……"

The simple-looking villager scratched his cheek, even so he was a little embarrassed.

"That girl seems to be following that foreigner."

"Outlander?!"

After the old village chief heard this, his heart suddenly trembled.

Lord Shenming ordered them to monitor the outsider. There is no doubt that he absolutely offended the gods. It just so happened that the other girl among the sacrifices they lacked met the standard...

"A suitable sacrifice has been found, we are saved..."

The old village chief, who was extremely ecstatic in his heart, murmured.

After that, rumors flew in the village, talking about sacrifices and foreigners everywhere.

"Master God asked us to monitor that outsider, I knew that guy was definitely not a good thing!"

"The strangers are just uncivilized fools. How can they compare to us who are favored by the gods?"

"Hey, I also heard that that foreigner seems to have broken into Lord God's forbidden area, and came out alive."

"Break into the forbidden area by mistake?! How dare that foreigner...!"

"If this is the case, Lord Shenming is definitely angry!"

"It must be, I hope that the gods will not be angry with us..."

"I heard that the village chief has found a suitable sacrifice, and the sacrifice seems to be the girl among the strangers!"

"Really, that would be great."

"Being able to dedicate myself to the gods, even a foreigner, will definitely feel happy!"

"Yes, yes."

"That's it!"

"However, what should I do if the Lord God is unwilling to accept the tribute from that foreigner?"

At this moment, a contrarian remark interrupted everyone's discussion, and the villagers all looked at the boy who raised objections, and the scene became completely silent.

That's right, if the gods are unwilling to accept such tributes, wouldn't their result be...

Just when all the villagers were panicking, a confidant of the old village head stood up and spoke.

"Don't worry, the village head is very predictable, and he has already thought of a countermeasure, everyone should stop talking about this topic, let's go to work."

The village head's confidant still has a certain influence in the village. Hearing his words, the villagers were all relieved, and the crowd gathered in the market gradually dispersed.

"Tomorrow is the sacrifice, we have to hurry up."

The village chief's confidant looked at the place outside the village where the two strangers lived.

"If you want to blame, it's your untimely arrival, strangers."
