Chapter 78 The Centaur's Inheritance Holy Land (Modified)
Whether the horsemen are strong in battle can be seen from their well-developed muscles, vigorous bodies and those huge bows and arrows; the information revealed from Matilda's mouth is even more shocking. They not only predicted that Alan would visit the centaur tribe today, but also predicted that Alan had what they needed.
It is indeed a race rich in prophets and astrologers. Fortunately, they are keen on spying on the mysteries of the stars, focusing on exploring the starry sky, and have no spellcasting ability except divination. Otherwise, I am afraid that the wizards will confront them, and the outcome will be difficult to predict.
"I don't know which item on my body you need?" Allen guessed a little in his heart, the only thing on his body that can be linked to the celestial body that the centaur is keen on is the moon gem that he got before.
"Although we can't confirm which item on your body is of vital importance to us, you must have the answer in your heart. If we can get your support and help, we horse people will do our best to repay your affection Great friendship." Matilda sincerely begged Allen.
"Dear headman, I am also very much looking forward to the friendship of the horse people. I do have an item on me, but it is an ominous item. Anyone who covets it will suffer bad luck." Allen is true, Anyway, the moon gem is of no use to him. He does not believe in any gods, and he has no way of understanding the will of the Moon God.
"Oh, I would like to hear more about it." Matilda was very interested, and the horsemen behind her who had recovered their normal posture also showed interest.
"The name of this item is called the Moon Gem." Allen just said the name of the Moon Gem, and saw Matilda's eyes on the opposite side lit up instantly, and there seemed to be countless stars shining in the pupils, shining brightly . Firenze and other horsemen looked excited. Even Bain, who was extremely angry last time, stared at Allen with full expectation.
Allen roughly told the horse people how he got the moon gem. With Allen's eloquence, he avoided some places that needed to be kept secret, and the part he revealed would not appear incoherent. Immerse yourself in this abridged version of Allen's story. In fact, Allen is not lying when he does this.
"Just like that, the moon gem fell into my hands." Alan swallowed after finally finishing his speech, remembering the fruit Gaia gave him earlier.
The wise Matilda saw through Alan's dilemma in an instant, "Alan, the good news you brought to our family is really exciting. It's noon now, it should be time for you humans to have lunch, how about Let us horses treat you well."
After speaking, Matilda asked Firenze to prepare some food and bring it over. Allen, who had received gracious hospitality in the unicorn colony, would no longer foolishly think that the horsemen would prepare grass for him as food. Allen was indeed a little hungry and thirsty, looking forward to what the centaur-style lunch would look like.
Allen thought that the horsemen would treat him with a lot of berries like a unicorn, but unexpectedly, what the horseman invited Allen to eat was cooked oatmeal cakes sprinkled with some sunflower seeds , seasoned with vanilla and cheese, and obviously the horses do not have a prohibition on underage drinking, and they also gave Alan some fruit wine brewed with fruit and honey. Alan took a sip, and the alcohol content was quite high.
Although it is not as exquisite as the house elves who are good at housework, it is more elegant and natural, and the taste is fresh.
"However, where did the horse people collect the raw materials for these homemade cheeses? I don't seem to see any animals they graze." Alan noticed this doubt after eating the last piece of oatmeal cake.
Satisfied with food and drink, Gaia politely bid farewell to Matilda, but Matilda did not keep her, and it was not suitable for Gaia to be present for the next thing.
"Alan, I don't know if we can take out the moon gem for us to study? Such a sacred object, it is a waste of money to let it sit idle!" Matilda's words are indeed reasonable,
This item is currently useless to Allen.
Allen took the yellow gemstone out of the storage compartment of the system, and occasionally streamers flashed across the gemstone. Matilda looked at it with fiery eyes.
Seeing this, Allen generously handed him the moon gem, and let Matilda study and play with it.
Seeing the other party's appearance, Allen couldn't help complaining in his heart, "Is this horseman trying to take care of it? Fortunately, it didn't say my baby."
After a long time, Matilda returned the gemstone to Alan, and took a long breath, "There is indeed a curse, and it is quite advanced. I am afraid that it can only be lifted by performing the ceremony of Chiron and gathering the power of starlight. Fortunately, the inheritance of our centaur is complete. A ceremony may be arranged for the Ritual of Chiron."
After obtaining Allen's consent, the centaur group was quickly mobilized, logging, leveling the ground, and solemnly sprinkled silverstone powder on the ground with unknown patterns... Everyone, oh no, everyone Horse people, all try their best and unremittingly complete the tasks at hand. Matilda was calm and commanded in an orderly manner. The whole group was busy but not chaotic, with amazing efficiency.
Noticing that the horsemen couldn't reach the ground directly with their hands, Allen, who was on the side, couldn't help but start to lose his mind again, "These horsemen will definitely not be able to wipe their butts after they are convenient."
"Alan, in return for your generosity, would you like to visit the heritage site of our centaurs?" After the layout of the venue was completed, Matilda interrupted Ailu's thoughts and invited him to visit the centaurs. Visit the sacred place of the clan - the place of inheritance. This is definitely a great trust in Alan. It seems that the moon gem is useless to Alan, but it is a treasure that the horsemen dream of.
Alan, who was already a little bored, readily agreed and followed closely behind Matilda. At the same time, he noticed that Matilda only called Firenze, Ronan, Bain and six other centaurs with stronger bodies to follow, and the other centaurs stayed where they were, protecting the newly arranged formation damaged.
Passing through the wooden gate formed by the intersection of two huge elm trees, Allen came to an extremely secluded place, a steamed bun-shaped green mound, located on the top of a lush and lush grassy hill. Under the thick shade of the big trees, there is a winding path leading directly to the center of the hill. Under the leadership of Matilda, Alan and the others escaped the traps set by some centaurs and walked straight into the mound.
The mound looks unremarkable from the outside, but when you walk in, it is quite unique. This is not an ordinary mound, it is simply a huge fortress. Allen followed Matilda and turned left and right. The inside of this fortress was complex, and for those who were not familiar with it, it was simply a huge maze. The four walls of the fortress are all piled up with smooth huge stones. In the dim light, Allen noticed some strange-shaped characters engraved on the wall, and there were many pictures about horsemen. All this shows to Allen that although he has not completely handed over the moon gem, the centaur did bring him to the holy place of the centaur-the place of inheritance.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Matilda finally stopped when Ronan was panting. In a huge stone room, the patterns engraved on the walls made Allen understand that this was the destination of their trip.
Matilda asked Allen to take care of himself, and then arranged for Firenze and the other six centaur to memorize the patterns carved on the huge stone wall before nightfall, and carefully observe the various details needed to trigger the Ritual of Chiron.
