Chapter 262 Blessing Ceremony
The young elf girl wanted to say something, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them.
The huge stone platform was filled with all kinds of fine wines and delicacies. There were also some under the platform, but in much smaller quantities.
After all, those on the stage are for the heroes who participate in the blessing to eat.
To put it bluntly, this might be our last meal, so of course we have to eat our fill.
There were not many people attending the ceremony, probably about twenty or so.
It’s not that only so many people are willing to participate in the blessing ceremony, but that only so many people can participate in the blessing ceremony.
After all, this is a very risky thing. Every person who loses his life in the blessing ceremony represents the loss of vitality of the tribe.
If the tribe loses too much at once, it will be a huge risk.
All in all, these are the people who were finally selected.
The crowd gathered around the stone altar, chatting and occasionally saying something to the people on the stage. Wreaths made of flowers picked from the outside world were thrown directly up, which was also a blessing.
Grandma Juexi, who was not found at home, was found here.
She stood on the stage with a cane, watching the young people of the tribe eat and drink.
In fact, Grandma Juexi's age is not that old. At most, she is about fifty years old in human terms, just past middle age.
He just looked very old, and it seemed that he had one foot in the threshold of death.
She had participated in the blessing ceremony before, and it was said that she had participated in it more than once.
It is said that when she was at her most powerful, she even crossed the threshold of the epic level, but it is not known whether this is true or not.
But in the final blessing ceremony, she failed and didn't make it through, and ended up like this.
While aging rapidly, his legs became immobile due to a blockage of magical power, and he had to use crutches to move around.
Yue pushed aside the crowd around her and jumped onto the altar in full view of everyone.
The air around them suddenly stagnated.
But it recovered quickly.
"Yue? What are you doing here?" asked Grandma Juexi.
"I'm here to participate in the blessing ceremony." Yue answered as a matter of course.
"You?" Granny Juexi looked Yue up and down and said, "No, no, get down quickly."
"The tribe is not in such a critical situation yet, is it necessary to gamble with your life?"
The Emerald Rank is a very important fighting force, and there are only two of them in the entire tribe, so Yue cannot take this risk.
"It's just a blessing ceremony." Yue waved her hands, looking quite calm: "Grandma Juexi has participated in it before, right? And more than once, you often told me about it before."
"I'm sure." Yue walked away from her and sat down at a table in front of the altar.
There was a girl sitting opposite this table, who was enjoying the food on the table.
She looked quite young, probably a new member of the tribe. I had never seen her before.
"How old are you? Are you here to receive the blessing at such a young age?" Yue asked.
"I'm not a child anymore." She glanced at Yue in front of her and said this instead of answering Yue's question directly.
"Really?" Yue didn't expect her to say that.
During the blessing ceremony, the people on the stage don’t need to worry about anything, just focus on eating and drinking. The rest are things that the people below the stage need to consider.
At the top of the tower stood an elf, her name was Aegwynn.
"Under the witness of the elders, the blessing ceremony begins!"
She shouted so loudly from above.
The people on the stage were eating and drinking, while the elves below were singing hymns.
The voice was solemn and majestic, as if it was singing an epic poem.
The light of [Dark Night Sky] was no longer scattered randomly, but was concentrated and shot towards the people on the altar, and the surrounding environment became dark.
Light could notice that the girl in front of him had shaking hands.
After all, this is quite a terrifying thing.
The mortality rate of the blessing ceremony is not high, but it is definitely not low. Everyone has the possibility of death.
"take it easy."
Yue spoke in a soothing voice.
She was confident that she could pass this blessing ceremony.
After all, according to past experience, the stronger a person is, the higher the probability of being blessed.
A blessing can be received not only once, but an elf can participate in several blessings.
However, as the number of blessings you receive increases, the difficulty of passing will become greater and greater.
This is only the first time, and based on past experience, Yue is more than 80% sure that he can pass the blessing this time.
But the girl in front of me might not be able to do that.
After all, most of the people who participated in the blessing ceremony this time were at the silver and gold levels, and there were only a few at the gold level. The girl in front of her was not among those at the gold level. She was only a silver-level professional, and the probability of her death was quite high.
"What's your name?"
Yue asked so gently.
"My name is Jiusha." The girl in front of him answered. She kept stuffing things into her mouth, as if this could reduce the fear in her heart.
"Jiusha?" Yue repeated: "Don't be nervous. It's your first blessing. As long as you keep calm and don't be nervous, the chances of passing are very high." She comforted him.
"Yeah." The girl in front of him was still very nervous and just replied with a "hmm".
"You are so young, and you have come to participate in the blessing ceremony?" Yue asked.
"I came here because the tribe needs me." She answered quickly, as if she didn't need to think.
"You haven't even had a man yet, so don't be afraid, just relax." Yue said with a smile.
She wanted to say something else to divert the girl's attention.
Due to tribal customs, they are often quite interested in this.
Speaking of this topic, the girl in front of him was obviously much more interested.
The sister in front of her had returned from outside the tribe and was knowledgeable, but she just didn't know her.
"Sister Yue...right?"
She asked hesitantly.
"You can call me that." Yue nodded.
"Have you ever had a man?" She was a little curious about this.
The sisters in the tribe sometimes talked about this topic. She wanted to participate, but she didn’t have the opportunity to do so because she had never experienced it.
"I... I guess so." Yue replied after a moment of hesitation.
"Is it true?" Jiusha didn't quite understand.
"Have you done all those?" she asked after a moment of hesitation.
"I've basically done everything." Yue answered her question.
Although she didn't do the most important thing, she did do many things.
"Is that so..." It can be seen that the girl in front of him had something else she wanted to ask, but she couldn't say it out loud. After all, it was a very private topic.
