Chapter 383: New Guests and the Priest
Lamo-Na has great ambitions. She will not be deterred by this shock. Even if she wants to restrain all her muscles with difficulty, she tried keep her expression unchanged.
She knows that many warriors and slaves will be with the same sex partners, some just to make up for strength, some can't find women, some brotherhood developed to the point that they don't want to separate later, but she never heard that any big tribe chief who will have a man and wife, generally only some small savage tribes who do not have enough women do this so.
Looking at the age of the teenager, maybe he grew up with Yuan Zhan, so Chief was used to being with him?
How did the rest of the tribe agree with this? What about the old priest who can show his soul? Will he agree to a tribe’s chief with a man? Is it not for future generations? Such thick and double-lined blood warrior genes will not be passed down?
Lamo-Na couldn't figure it out.
At this time, she was eager to see the old priest, who was said to be at the time conducting a ritual sacrifice. She wanted to explore each other's voice and know what they thought about the capricious behavior of Chief.
It's hard to find such a beloved sky transporter. She really doesn't want to give up like this. If chief only spoils the teenager for a while, she still has a chance. But if this spoil is not just for a while?
Lamo-Na sighed, always feeling that she had a bumpy road ahead.
Unlike Lamo-Na's deliberate neglect of him, Yan Mo has been secretly observing the Great Princess's behavior and all his expressions since he discovered Lamo-Na's initiative.
Lamo-Na thought she was good at covering-up her emotions, but Yan Mo noticed the difference in detail.
Does the princess intend to marry A-Zhan, too?
Yan Mo shook his head in his heart. It would not be so simple. After all, she is one of the Princess of the Nine Great Cities, the Jiu Yuan is now unshaken, but since her family knows about their family affairs, and their tribe have only been established for eight years. Whether they are in the bottom or under the influence, they have only a thin foundation. How soon to does she recognize their status, let alone mention the status of the Jiu Yuan as equal to The Nine Great Cities.
Yan Mo knows from Lamo-Ling as well as from the surface that Lamo-Na is an ambitious woman. If she was willing to hide behind a man, she will marry Huocheng-Fire City to enjoy her days in happiness, instead of trying to hide the shine of Yincheng-Sound City's two other princes, and take a long journey to an unknown wilderness.
So what does she want from the Jiu Yuan? Or what does she want from A-Zhan?
Stunned and speechless for a moment, Lamo-Na responded with a quick smile on Yan Mo. "It is the chief's companion. I am the daughter of Yincheng-Sound City's Lord."
Yan Mo knows that the other party intentionally introduced him again to know his name and identity, and he did not hide it, smiling back: "Hello Princess, may the glory of the ancestor god envelope you. I'm Yan Mo, the Jiu Yuan's priest."
Lamo-Na suddenly said, "It is Priest Da-Ren. Is the sacrificial ritual of your temple over yet?”
"It just ended this morning." Yan Mo wonders why Lamo-Na's expression is so calm. The Curse-Witch Zhou Wu, who knew he was going to be younger, screamed for half a day after he saw his appearance change, not to mention the others.
Lamo-Na naturally calmed down. She never thought that Yan Mo and the Old Priest as the people to see. She does not know the composition of the Jiu Yuan temple, assuming that the temple is like many other city forces.
She even wondered if because the teenager was a disciple of the priest, maybe he is the mysterious and powerful disciple of the Old Priest, so the Old Priest didn't stop Chief from being with the younger priest. You see, the teenager's name is Yan Mo, which is similar to the name of Mo Da-Ren. It sounds like he inherited the inheritor of Mo Da-Ren.
Lamo-Na was shocked by many conspiracy theories.
The road was not the place to talk. Wu Chen and Ye Xing arrived. Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo handed the princess over to the two hosts. Lamo-Na decided that the Priest would appear tonight. He smiled and watched them walk into the Zhan Mo College hand in hand.
Yan Mo touched his chin and said, "Did you say that Her Highness regards me as another priest?” Otherwise, how could you see him clearly and specifically ask if you could see the Mo Da-Ren at night?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYuan Zhan slowed down and waved at the students who saluted them casually. "She'll know that in the evening anyway."
The Jiu Yuan salute was greeted with excitement and reverence by the students of the Zhan Mo College. Each of them had guessed the identity of hat-wearing boy. Someone who could walk beside Chief and was so close to the chief. Who else could there be besides Priest Da-Ren, who was great, kind, loved by ancestors and perhaps never really gets old?
Yan Mo also smiled faintly at the children. This is the future and hopes of the Jiu Yuan future. They are nurtured by the school. Apart from the knowledge gained, they will have more recognition, sense of belonging and exaltation to the Jiu Yuan. Their loyalty to him and Yuan Zhan will also deepen day by day, until loyalty becomes an unshakable faith.
Five years ago, he had planned to set up a church-like organization, but after much consideration, he himself had no desire for power, and hoped that Du-du and Wu Guo would have a more pure environment for growth after birth. He eventually proposed to formally establish a school of all ages and disciplines, and he would be the principal, and only the Jiu Yuan's Priest would be the principal of the Zhan Mo College in the future, and it is a lifelong post.
Yuan Zhan listened to him when Yan Mo told him about the benefits of establishing the school. Two years later, he added another military academy to the Jiu Yuan, with Yuan Zhan as the principal. It was stipulated that only the Jiu Yuan Chief would be the principal of the Jiu Yuan Military Academy in the future. Since then there have been no more scouts in the army. In addition, in the early stage, all warriors had to train half a day in non-war period, attend military academies half a day, and every five days, turn the class knowledge into practical operation, that is, to cultivate wasteland to build houses, roads and sewers.
At present, the military academy is still composed of warriors, but gradually these adult warriors will leave the academy when they get old, but even if they leave the academy, they will still maintain half-day training and half-day study and work during the non-war period. Because Priest Da-Ren said, considering that once warriors have finished full service, or because of injuries and decommissioning they have to retire, with no skills they will not be able to live well, so they may learn more knowledge during their service.
Warriors felt that Priest Da-Ren was very considerate of them.
As for the so-called period of service, it is also a new regulation issued by the Jiu Yuan, which stipulates that all men and women who are over eighteen years old must fight for the tribe, and they are not allowed to take the place of another, do not exchange, nor can they use goods or yuan-crystal coins to change this rule. No matter what the tribe is in need, they will be chosen by certain means. The boys and girls who are the Jiu Yuan are proud of being selected to join the army.
This is why the military academy is set to be enrolled at the age of eighteen. Now the Jiu Yuan military academy has a low threshold, so long as Warriors selected for service will be dragged to the military school for reeducation.
But Yan Mo knows that this is only a transitional period. After that, the Jiu Yuan is well-resourced and most of the children of the Jiu Yuan have attended Zhan Mo Academy. After they have laid a good foundation, the military academy, as a special type of school, it will have a higher threshold.
Although it's a rest day, it's good for the two to steal half a day. After lunch, they were busy till evening.
The Princess of One of the Nine Great Cities visited personally as a messenger, which is indeed a great event for the present Jiu Yuan.
The reception banquet was also of high standard, and almost all city managers above the battalion level who could spare time came.
The long and loud trumpet sounded.
Everyone, whether approaching the conference hall or having arrived at it, looked out.
Yan Mo, who had entered the back garden of the conference hall, stood and looked up to the southwest. "It seems that we have another distinguished guest here."
Yuan Zhan's face was gloomy and his eyebrows were slightly protruding. "I'm afraid the visitors are not good this time."
"I wonder why they came so coincidentally, focusing on us these days. The Curse-Witch Zhou Wu is home yet?” Yan Mo asked Ding Ning in his last sentence.
Ding Ning answered, "I haven't seen Da-Ren yet, but according to the news he sent back with the Winged Yingzhao, he should be back in these two days."
Yuan Zhan looked at his expression and asked, "what do you think?”
Yan Mo frowned slightly. "Shifu mentioned to me before he left that the Nine Great Cities gathered every ten years. This year's the upper city gathering happened to be in Wucheng - City of Witches. He said he would take me to meet several people. He went out to collect some necessary things, and that gathering time was just around the corner."
"Do you suspect that Yincheng-Sound City and the purpose of this newly arrived guest are related to the Nine Great Cities gathering every ten years?”
"I don't know. It's just that they came at such a good time. The Nine Great Cities gathering, according to Shifu, is to show off their supreme force and strength to those at the bottom of the box. At that time, people came up with something to suppress each other and do some big deals, including goods, land and tribes on the land."
Yuan Zhan sneered, "They are smart enough to reduce losses and maintain long-term rule in this way."
Yan Mo shrugged. “Shifu said they were scared, but thanks to this once-in-a-decade gathering, there has been no major war in so many years.
Yuan Zhan saw clearly, "But likewise, it will be more difficult for other forces to get ahead."
"Yes, if the nine powers have joined forces to suppress someone. How strong can you compare with the strength of the nine cities?”
Looking at them, they thought Lamo-Na's purpose was not simple, but maybe the situation was more complicated than they thought.
"Guess who's the guest coming at this time?” Yan Mo laughed.
"Guess what's good for me?” Yuan Zhan had a very relaxed expression. He was not afraid of them five years ago, and five years later, he would not be afraid of these the upper city forces.
Yan Mo stood on tiptoe and hooked the man's chin. "Do you want me to shave you?”
A certain animal can't stand the stirring at all. One hand should be held in his arms and rubbed, "Yes, help me shave every day."
"Dream on!" Yan Mo turned quickly and pushed his hand by the way. "The guests are coming, don't make any noise, be good."
Will Yuan Zhan ever be good?
the Chief guards and the Priest guards looked at the two eldest men. They looked as if they were doing a “You grabbed me for a moment. I slapped you” and played such a childish game. While doing this they could still keep a solemn and stiff expression on their two faces, all showing a loyalty that no one had never seen.
Three long and three short trumpets indicate the arrival of VIPs, and VIPs take the initiative to reveal their identity, without random intrusion.
Shortly afterwards, the scouts flying back on the Winged Yingzhao came back with news that the distinguished guest, who claimed to be from Tucheng-Earth City of the Nine Great Cities, had come here to reconstruct a good relationship with the Jiu Yuan in order to defuse the hatred.
Yuan Zhan sneered three times and personally went to welcome out of the city, not because he valued the Tucheng-Earth City visitors, but because he was afraid that these guys would play tricks on the guards there. As Yan Mo said, his strength alone does not mean that the Jiu Yuan as a whole can withstand all the efforts of a super power.
Lamo-Na also received news that the dinner would be delayed slightly. She frowned when she heard that the new visitor was from Tucheng-Earth City.
"My brother still doesn't want to see me?”
The attendant bowed his head and said shamefully, "Yes."
"If you go to see him again, tell him it's about the development of Yincheng-Sound City and... His sister's lifelong happiness."
"Yes."
Lamo-Na walked two laps in stiff silence, a little regretful for not making good use of the two nights and one day before. She never expected Tucheng-Earth City to come, and it was two days later than her.
She had hoped to cultivate a relationship with Yuan Zhan first, which could improve the mutual affection best. If Yuan Zhan could be interested in her, she would not be very abrupt to put forward her intention again, but now...
Yan Mo did not expect that he would see the face that was familiar with his physical aversion again.
He hates She-Dan, who owned his face from the previous world and doesn't want to see this person anymore. But because of this face, he also hopes that this person can live well. This kind of ambivalence makes him deliberately want to bury She-Dan in his deep memory, which thought that the other party was so ignorant, he had to run to him to find a sense of existence.
Over the past five years, She-Dan has also changed, his behavior is a little more proud and arrogant, but not so obvious. But whether you look at his clothes and accessories or his voice, you can feel the other party's humility of pretending to be a humility man.
When Yan Mo saw this person, he wants to shout. It's better to blow off the fake laughter and calculation on that person's face.
She-Dan is the first envoy of Tucheng-Earth City. He was promoted to the Third High Priest of Tucheng-Earth City Temple in just five years. The Eye Witch Wu Yan, who needed him to curry up, he can only follow him now and speak respectfully to She-Dan.
She-Dan, unlike Lamo-Na, brought a large number of guards and slaves, but the Jiu Yuan did not let them enter the city of the Jiu Yuan, only temporarily stationed them in nearby villages.
She-Dan did not object. He was surrounded by a noble woman with a veil, slender figure, beautiful hair, and some precious yuan-crystal ornaments. Others in Tucheng-Earth City also respected the noble woman.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYuan Zhan ushered in the Tucheng-Earth City envoy public. He seemed to have forgotten that Tucheng-Earth City could be regarded as a common hatred. After sitting on the top of the stairs, he laughed and asked the Tucheng-Earth City messenger to sit opposite to them.
Yan Mo slowly arrived when everyone was seated.
"Dung Du Du!" Three drums made the hall quiet.
A servant with a magnificent face shouted, "Priest Da-Ren is here -"
Yuan Zhan was the first to get up, and all the other Jiu Yuan peoples who sat down stood up almost at the same time.
Lamo-Na and She-Dan, as guests, of course, can't just sit down, no matter what they think, they also got up to greet them.
Yan Mo wore the very tall priest robe, holding a bone scepter, followed by four disciples and a group of guards, and slowly walked up the steps.
Four youngsters saluted Yan Mo and walked down the steps to their seats.
The priest escort went behind the steps.
Yuan Zhan held out his hand.
Yan Mo eyebrows rose, what do you mean? But he stretched out his wrist.
Yuan Zhan took him by the wrist and led him to his side.
Next to Chief's position, there's the same seat. They're exactly side by side. They're exactly the same size, except for the different patterns carvings.
They did not sit down immediately. Yan Mo raised his scepter and smiled humorlessly. "The glory of the ancestor God is with you and me. May the ancestor God bless me and you." action
The Jiu Yuan people saluted together, "Thanks for Priest Da-Ren blessings!"
Yuan Zhan waved and said, "Sit down."
That's when all the people took their seats.
Lamo-Na was a bit out of place. She didn't sit much slower than the others at the servant's reminder.
How could the teenager that priest attend such a banquet?
No, as the priest, he is not surprised to participate, but how can he sit so openly beside Chief?
That should be Mrs. Chief's place!
And what about the old priest? Why does he not come on such an important occasion?
She-Dan's reaction was less visible than Lamo-Na's, but he also looked at the teenager with a slight squint.
And his ideas are similar to Lamo-Na's, wondering why the old priest didn't come out.
Ha ha, the old man was finally disliked. Even the priest, with such disgusting and despicable ideas, it seems to be very bossy and tyrannical, can the chief endure him for a long time. Who wants to be controlled? Who doesn't like younger people?
The old man didn't appear. He should have been replaced by the younger priest.
She-Dan has always believed that Yuan Zhan must have used some unspeakable evil means to replace the old priest by this youngster, but he must have done it very cleanly, otherwise the Curse-Witch Zhou Wu would not have reacted completely silent.
In fact, She-Dan is not sure whether the old priest is still alive, but according to the news from Yincheng-Sound City and other places, when Yuan Zhan was not killed, the old priest was still alive, but now he can't see him, he still think he was killed, ha ha!
