Chapter 37 Ceremony
At night, the Babrazi Mountains under the moonlight has its unique silence and beauty, but under this tranquility and peace, there are dark tides everywhere.

On the mountainside of a certain mountain, there is an artificially built flat land. There is a small tribe on the flat land. At the moment, the lights are brightly lit and the crowd is surging. It seems that some kind of banquet is being held.

There was an open space in the center of the entire tribe, and a bonfire had already been set up. Next to the bonfire, a high platform with a height of [-] square meters per person was built, and three people stood on it, namely Hippolyte and Ned. Rei and an equally young Amazon girl.

The women of the entire Amazon tribe gathered in this open space except for the necessary patrols and the Amazon female warriors who guarded the men's residences to prevent them from escaping.

Tonight is the promotion ceremony for the female Amazon warrior, which includes the coming-of-age ceremony and the promotion ceremony for the warrior.

There were originally three Amazon girls who held the coming-of-age ceremony, but one of them died accidentally while chasing the spirit beast.

Every female Amazon warrior who goes out for trials will wear a necklace of animal teeth, just like the one worn by Nidalee before, but in comparison, as the daughter of the patriarch, the necklace of animal teeth she owns will of course be better.

The inside of all animal tooth necklaces will be imprinted with a special soul array by tribal sacrifices. The function of this soul array is very simple. When the wearer dies, the soul lamp associated with this soul array will be extinguished, and that person will It was because the matching soul lamp was extinguished and the seven days before the trial had passed.

As for the other girl who came back, she was also standing on the high platform, but she was not as lucky as Nidalee, who was lucky enough to hunt and kill a soul beast that was stronger than herself by four stars or more. Of course, except for some talented people who could In addition to success, most Amazonians end in failure.

On the high platform next to the bonfire, Hippolyte's body, which is not considered tall among the Amazons, is wearing a gleaming golden armor with bare arms, holding a spear and a round shield that also emit golden light in each hand.

This set of equipment is a Horcrux passed down from generation to generation by the Amazons. Although it is just an ordinary golden Horcrux, it has irreplaceable importance.

I saw Hippolyte standing forward on the high platform, exuding a powerful aura from her body, making all the people underground quiet down for a while, and all eyes turned to her.

Hippolyte shook his spear to the ground and said majestically: "Today is another day worthy of our celebration. In this dangerous mountain range, our tribe gave birth to a brave warrior, Nidalee. "

As she chanted Nidalee's name, the clansmen who couldn't bear it anymore also chanted Nidalee's name, and the three of Andre who were mixed inside felt their enthusiasm.

"Brother, Nidalee looks very popular." Alice lay on Andre's back and said into his ear. I really can't see the situation on the high platform.

Andre turned his head sideways, and Alice's breath hit his ears, making him feel itchy, and he said: "Yes, as an Amazon who respects martial arts, it can defeat those who are much stronger than yourself." The enemy itself is something to be respected."

Alice and Andre were chatting here, and Raven just stood beside them and listened quietly, looking up at the high platform, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, her comrades told her about this ceremony , and understand some of the uncomfortable practices.

Nidalee, who was standing behind Hippolyte, walked to her side amidst cheers, and stood solemnly in front of everyone.

There was a commotion in the crowd, and a road was separated for two people to walk side by side. Walking on this road was Hasaya. She was seen carrying a wooden stick hanging the body of the flame cheetah and walking through the crowd. Later, when he arrived at the bonfire, he stuck the wooden stick on the ground and showed the flame cheetah to the onlookers.

Hippolyte shook the spear again, making the noisy crowd quiet again, and she said: "This flaming cheetah is Nidalee's trophy, and it is also the proof that she has officially become a beast-tooth warrior. Now let our The old priest wore the tusk necklace for Nidalee himself, fashioned from the tooth of the flaming panther."

Under the high platform stood a crooked, very old grandmother who was still wearing battle armor. She was a priest of the tribe, and she held a necklace made of five animal teeth in her hand, which was made by the teeth of the flame cheetah. made necklace.

The old priest slowly climbed up from the ladder on the side of the high platform, stood beside Nidalee, raised the necklace in his hand, and was about to put it on for her.

Nidalee lowered her head respectfully and asked the old priest to put on the new beast's tooth necklace for her.

The old priest looked at Nidalee who was wearing the animal tooth necklace and nodded with satisfaction, and said, "My child, I hope you can go forward bravely and fight for the tribe like your ancestors."

Nidalee straightened her face, and said solemnly: "Yes, Lord Sacrifice, for the sake of the tribe, I will protect it at all costs,"

Nidalee, who had put on the animal tooth necklace, went directly off the high platform and was treated like a hero. She looked at the high platform with her clansmen in the crowd. The ceremony was not over yet, and the following belonged to other people.

When Hippolyte took out the extinguished soul lamp, all the people below were silent, because they knew that a extinguished soul lamp represented the death of a clansman, and the ritual of the coming of age ceremony was not over yet , that is to say, the soul lamp that was taken out belonged to a newly grown Amazon.

Hippolyta looked at the people below, and said in a deep voice: "Let us salute for Mino's early return to the arms of our ancestors. It is the honor of every Amazon to die in battle." After speaking, he threw the soul lamp in his hand into the bonfire middle.

All the Amazons bow their heads in prayer at this moment, and put their right hands on their chests in respect.

"The trial not only has successes, but also failures. Unfortunately, our child Emily did not complete the trial." Hippolyte said, and at the same time motioned for the last girl standing behind her to step forward.

This was a 16-year-old ordinary girl with dark skin, a bit petite, and wearing the same revealing animal skin clothes. Her expression was a little depressed, and there was a trace of fear, but she still stood firmly by Hippolyta's side.

Hippolyte looked at her seriously and said, "Emily, do you admit your failure?"

Emily nodded and said, "I admit that I failed."

"Are you baptized by the rites of the ages?"

"accept!"

Hippolyte nodded appreciatively, and looked at her encouragingly. At the same time, she raised her hand, and a red-hot iron from the bonfire flew to her hand.Hippolyta asked again, "Are you ready?"

"Okay." Emily's face was obviously a little pale, but she still nodded firmly. She pulled up the blouse that was wrapped around her chest, revealing her small breasts, and at the same time tightly closed her eyes.

When Andre saw the couple having sex, he subconsciously reached out his hand to Alice on her back, trying to cover her eyes. He turned around and thought, Alice is a girl, and the person who should not be looking at him the most is himself.

At this moment, Hippolyte raised the soldering iron with a serious face, nodded towards the bottom, and then pressed the red iron block towards her naked breasts in the air.

"What are you doing!" Andre yelled in disbelief. He really couldn't understand why he had to scald such a high-temperature piece of iron on his body like a torturer. The kind of embarrassment has long been forgotten.

"Ah." Alice also put her face on Andre's back at the same time, not daring to watch this scene at all.

Raven stopped Andre who wanted to continue. She had known about this ritual for a long time, but it was a family tradition and they had no power to stop it.

Andre pushed Ruiwen's hand away, looked at Hippolyte on the high platform and continued: "It's interesting for you to abuse your own people like this. It is very difficult to kill soul beasts stronger than yourself. Failure is Inevitably, you are breaking tradition."

Everyone looked at Andre, with angry expressions on their faces, even Emily, who was about to be punished, had the same expression. The girl was already ready to be punished, and Andre The interruption made her have to make another decision, which was very tiring.

Hippolyte looked at Andre, with no anger on her face. She said: "As a friend of our Amazons, please respect our traditions. I will forgive your unreasonableness this time. If you can't stand it, then You can choose to leave and not disturb our ceremony." After saying that, he turned around and ignored Andre, preparing to continue the ceremony.

Where would Andre choose to leave? As he had received more than [-] years of education that girls are for pain, he could not sit idly by and ignore this self-harming behavior. He slapped Raven's hand away who was about to pull him away, and just When he was about to rush forward to have a century theory with Hippolyta, a powerful and terrifying coercion enveloped him.

At this moment, he felt like a shivering little ant hiding in the corner of the wall, being stepped on by a huge stone, making him unable to move and breathless.

This terrifying aura emanated from Hippolyta's body, because it was aimed at Andre alone, so the others simply saw Hippolyta's angry expression.

Only Raven next to Andre noticed his change. She raised her head and said to Hippolyta in a neither humble nor humble way: "Master Patriarch, we are your guests, and Andre is just talking for a while, please Forgive him for his faux pas."

Nidalee also saw Andre's state at this time, she stood up and came to the side of Andre and said to Hippolyta on the high platform: "Mother, calm down, since I brought him, I will give you a lot of money." Just take them away."

Hippolyta withdrew the coercion on her body, snorted dissatisfiedly at Andre, and then said: "Since he doesn't cherish the friendship of our Amazons, then we don't welcome him either, let's leave here."

"Mother? It's still night..." Nidalee was anxious. He was about to continue, but was stopped by Raven, who shook his head at her, signaling that she didn't need to plead.

Raven carried the left arm of Andre, who was about to collapse after Hippolyta withdrew the coercion, and at the same time held the hand of Alice, who was showing a worried expression, and said to Hippolyta: "Then we Just leave and don't bother me any more."

Hippolyta was a little surprised. She glanced at Raven and said, "You can stay and continue to participate in the ceremony, and there will be a thank you banquet later. This is just a man, just let him fend for himself."

Raven shook his head and said firmly: "Thank you patriarch for your love, but I will not give up my comrades in arms, so let's leave now."

Hippolyta was a little annoyed. She felt that it was okay for Andre to have no rules, but Raven actually let down her good intentions. She snorted coldly and said: "Nidalee, take your friends and leave."

"Yes." Nidalee walked to Andre's side, picked up the other side of him, and nodded apologetically to Raven, and the four of them walked towards the entrance of the village.

　I feel that I didn't write that kind of atmosphere, and I feel a little forced to promote the plot.It's relatively plain, and after two chapters, the plot unfolds, a mysterious religious altar.
