The five-year tribal sacrifice was not initiated by the Holy King, but a tradition with a long history on the Anan Continent.In the beginning, it was just a gathering where the priests sat together to exchange experiences, and later it gradually developed into a grand ceremony involving all the clans in the whole continent.

Crossing the mainland and arriving at the place where the tribal festival is held is a major test of the strength of the clan. Failure to attend the tribal festival means that the clan has no strength and cannot continue to have the title of the clan, and the encroachment and annexation of the surrounding clans will follow .

In the Anan Continent, robbery and aggression can be regarded as commonplace among clans, and some clans even regard this behavior as their means of survival.Even if the Holy King unified the tribes and the humans in the Anan Continent had a common king, the situation did not improve much, but it changed from open robbery to private plunder, and it was no longer so blatant.

But annexation is a taboo in the Anan Continent, and it is regarded as an evil deed equal to extermination of the clan, and it will be punished by heaven.Even the five major clans that monopolize the main resources of the Anan Continent can only make the surrounding small clans their subordinates, and will never deprive them of their surnames and obliterate their inheritance.Only when a clan is too weak to even participate in the tribal sacrifice, can other clans justifiably plunder their priests, erase their surnames, and force them to merge into their own clan.

At this time, annexation is no longer an evil act, but conforms to the laws of nature.

Just because this is a major event involving the life and death of the clan, every clan will not and dare not miss this festival, even if they try their best, they must send their priests to the place where the tribal festival is held.

But arriving at the venue does not mean the matter is over, on the contrary, it is just the beginning.Today's tribal sacrifice is no longer a communication activity exclusively for priests, but a miniature battlefield for the major clans to demonstrate their combat power.In addition to the routine luck divination, the major clans will also send powerful warriors to compete in events such as gladiatorial, horse racing, shooting, and wrestling. The person who wins in a certain event will be awarded the title of brave, and A laurel wreath blessed by the priests.

There are a total of ten competitive events in the Tribal Festival, and there are also ten corresponding laurels.The so-called laurel wreath was originally made of real laurel branches, but the laurel grows in a specific place, and even the five major clans cannot transplant it to their own territories.In order not to waste precious manpower on obtaining such only symbolic branches, the laurel wreath was changed from a real tree crown to a crown in the shape of a laurel branch made of silver.

The laurel crowns are very important to the major clans, because only by obtaining at least one laurel crown can they gain the right to speak at the upcoming tribal assembly and make corresponding demands on the division of interests in the next five years.And those clans that can't even get a crown can only sit in and watch, and then raise their hands on issues that need to be voted on, and such issues usually rarely appear.

In contrast, the five major clans need these ten laurel crowns more than ordinary small clans.The five major clans are not only an honorable title, but also have the important power to veto issues at the tribal assembly.But if they don't get the laurel crown, even the five major clans will not be able to be the chief of the tribal assembly and gain the right to speak, and the veto they originally had will naturally disappear.

More importantly, once such a thing happens, it means that the clan's combat strength has declined, and it is no longer qualified to be among the top five clans. Immediately, a clan that wants to replace him will launch a formal challenge to it.According to tribal rules, other clans cannot intervene in such challenges, but if there are more than one clans who want to challenge, these challengers must first decide a winner in some way, and the final winner can get the challenge qualifications.

In the last tribal sacrifice, the Kandahar clan, originally one of the five major clans, was defeated by the Renault clan in this way, losing its status and power.

Before the Holy King unified the tribes, the most grand sacrificial event in the Anan Continent had been dominated by the five major clans, and the five clans took turns to be responsible.After the Holy King unified the tribes, the venue of the ceremony was transferred to the Valley of the Kings, which was presided over by the Valley of the Kings.

"The Shedia clan from the north has also arrived, and three of the five major clans have come." Fei Qi stood on the platform of the master bedroom, looking at the clan settlement in the northwest.There, a group of men and women in white robes were busy carrying luggage from several carts. The clothes on their bodies were obviously much thicker than those of the people in the Valley of the Kings, and the collars and cuffs were decorated with white fur.

"The day after tomorrow at the latest, Gore and Utala should also come." Iron Face was lying on a wicker chair beside him, lazily basking in the sun.

The Valley of Kings is located in the southwestern part of the mainland. It is not cold even in winter. Most of the valleys are surrounded by evergreen trees. Dichen spared no expense in cultivating a group of gorgeous flowers that bloom in winter. Now they are adorning every corner of the valley in full bloom. However, the scenery in the valley is even more colorful than in summer.

Fei Qi looked at it for a while, then turned to Tie Mian and said, "I want to go to Hailang's place in the afternoon, will you go with me?"

"What are you going to her place for?" Tie Mian asked displeased, obviously not wanting to accompany him.

"I always feel that something happened to the clan." Fei Qi frowned, "They came too early, and Hai Lang's expression was not quite right. I told her that I accidentally took away the important magic document , She didn't scold me, and she didn't ask for the book back, but let me continue to keep it, this... this is so strange!"

On the eve of the upcoming Tribal Festival, the first to arrive at the Valley of the Kings was not the Silesian clan who was closest to here, but Haimila, who was quite a distance away from the Valley of the Kings.Half a month before the official start of the Tribal Festival, Hailang rushed here under the protection of a group of female guards and settled down in Nangu Village.

Fei Qi didn't understand why his clan came here so early. What made him even more puzzled was that for such an important festival as the Tribal Festival, as long as the patriarchs of the major clans were not seriously ill or facing disasters such as seizure of power, they would usually attend in person. Lead a team to attend.During the last tribal festival, Meixie also went to the Valley of Kings with Hailang.But this time, not only Meixia didn't come by herself, but even the elders of the clan didn't come, only Hailang rushed over accompanied by dozens of guards.

If Hailang had come over a month or two earlier, Fei Qi might not have been so worried.After all, Yingdong, who was supposed to go to Shandela to get married, was somehow sent to the Valley of the Kings. After receiving the report from Adele and others, the clan should send someone to visit.Coupled with the tribal festival at the end of the year, it is only natural that the two things are combined into one.

But Adele had already returned to the clan. Even if something happened on the way that prevented them from returning, Haimila should have heard about the mutation of the Shandela clan. Regarding Wang Zhigu's matter, Meixia didn't even send a messenger, which made Fei Qi feel that both he and Yingdong were abandoned by his grandmother.

However, when he found that Meixia did not attend the tribal festival this time, and Hailang who had to appear here was obviously forced to smile, Fei Qi sensitively sensed that there must be something hidden in it. Any resentment was immediately forgotten.

"If you don't go with me, I'll go there by myself." Seeing that Tie Mian showed little interest, Fei Qi had no choice but to use his trump card to threaten Tie Mian by acting alone.

"Okay, okay, can't I go there with you after lunch?" Tie Mian helplessly raised his hands in surrender, and then pulled Fei Qi into his arms, "However, you can't let me go through this hard work for nothing, In the evening, please repay me well?"

"Don't make it sound like I've been dissatisfied with your desires, you didn't let me sleep until the middle of the night last night!" Fei Qi pouted angrily.

After several months of tempering, Fei Qi has gradually gotten used to "sleeping" with Tie Mian, and it is no longer as painful as it was at the beginning. , The attitude towards that matter also changed from fear to expectation.

The blending of bodies has made the relationship between the two of them increasingly intimate. Unknowingly, Fei Qi has lost the original restraint and fear, and occasionally bosses around the iron face.And Tie Mian never got angry because of this, at most he glared and frightened Fei Qi with a few words, which made Fei Qi more and more courageous, and became more and more relaxed on the bed, and would no longer blush just because of a little intimacy.

But Tie's interest in that matter is really too strong, and he will restrain himself a little when he goes out with his subordinates. Once he returns to the two-person world of Wang Zhigu, he will immediately reveal his true colors, and the daily demands are endless. Love it and hate it.

Especially in the recent period, due to the influence of the tribal sacrifice, Tie Mian did not go out again, and even rarely set foot in the North Valley camp. The magic-weave armor that had to be finished before the tribal sacrifice also had to be thrown aside.

One month before the Tribal Festival, Tie Mian stopped going out for hunting, allowing Luosang and others to focus on the activities of the business group and collect some skilled craftsmen by the way.

In the past few months, most of Iron Mask's subordinates have finished changing their costumes. Most of the men have a pure iron weapon, and only a few women are still using bronze weapons.It's not entirely because the iron face favors men over women, but the fighting power of these ten or so women is really unsatisfactory. Even if they get iron weapons, they can't exert their power. On the contrary, they are easy to attract others' covetousness when they go out alone. It's better to match it with an ordinary bronze weapon, which can deter Xiao Xiao without making people greedy.

Fei Qi's magic-weave protective gear has also made great progress. Finally, more than a month ago, a method of drawing magic-weave was determined, and a set of offensive and defensive protective gear was made for the wild duck, including gloves, wrist guards, The four parts of the knee pad and the foot cover allow the mallard's insufficient mental power to drive the four protective gear at the same time, and at the same time improve its strength, speed, and defense.

But Tie Mian asked Fei Qi to make the magic pattern armor just to enhance his status in the hearts of his subordinates, not really wanting him to arm his subordinates with this precious thing.

Therefore, after Fei Qi made the four-piece set of magic pattern protective gear for Tie Mian, Tie Mian only asked Fei Qi to make a pair of rough power gloves for the monkey with the same spiritual power, creating a kind of " This kind of protective gear can only be tailor-made" illusion, and then let the relatives kill the time by themselves, and stop spending energy on the production of protective gear.

Fei Qi himself has developed a keen interest in the production of magic pattern protective gear.Although Tie Mian told him that it was enough to fool the monkey with gloves, Fei Qi felt that even if he ignored the monkey, he should at least make a set of similar protective gear for himself.For this reason, he also deliberately learned sewing and cutting skills from several female warriors, so as not to have to trouble others to help him complete this process every time he finished drawing the magic pattern.

Fei Qi originally wanted to make a set for Tie Mian, but Tie Mian already had a magic pattern tattoo on his body. If he used the magic pattern protective gear again, it would cause conflicts between the two because of the distribution of mental power.

Thinking of the magic-weave protective gear, Fei Qi couldn't help being a little distracted, and couldn't react in time to the action of Tie Mian hugging him and kissing him.

"What are you thinking about?" Tie Mian immediately complained dissatisfied.

"The set of magic pattern protective gear that you delayed." Fei Qi pouted, telling the truth, "I don't know when it will be finished."

"If you want me to say, don't do it at all. Every time I see you take your own blood, my heart hurts." Tie Mian reached out and touched Fei Qi's cheek, "Even if there is no such thing, I will protect you well." very good?"

"But there will always be times when you can't be by my side, and I can't rely on your protection for the rest of my life." Fei Qi said seriously.

"Don't be so insecure." Tie Mian said without thinking, "I will never abandon you no matter what. Even if I die, I will definitely let you die before me."

"Are you sure?" Fei Qi couldn't help grinding her teeth.

"Uh..." Only then did Tie Mian realize that what he said seemed inappropriate, and quickly added, "In short, that's what it means, you just need to understand, don't just stick to words."

Fei Qi didn't answer, but pouted, showing that she was not satisfied with such an answer.

"If you want to die together, that's okay, right?" Tie Mian said helplessly.

"...I'll die first." Fei Qi muttered depressingly, and secretly murmured in her heart, if I die before you, I won't hear your stupid words again.
