Chapter 182 Amazon Queen...Echo?
Yidaiya led the way, leading Lanwu and the other two out of the tree house.
The lights in the tribe were bright, but there was no one in sight. Lanwu was curious, and Bruna gave an explanation at the right time. It turned out that Amazon was known as the daughter of the jungle, and all important ceremonies would be held in the jungle. It is said that this is to express high respect to the goddess who controls the forest.
Lanwu was very strange. Akara said that he was a divine grace, the incarnation of the gods walking on earth. But he had never heard of gods. The only thing that was circulated was the heaven that was diametrically opposed to hell, and the angels worshipped by humans. Amazon worshipped the goddess of the forest, which puzzled him. But he also knew that now was not the time to explore the mystery. With Bruna here, it would be clear after careful questioning.
Leaving the tribe, Yidaiya led the two into the jungle. Ten minutes later, the three of them passed through the jungle, and the scene in front of them became bright. This is an open space. The trees on it have been cut down, and a little trace of tree roots can still be vaguely seen in the leveled soil.
More than 800 Amazons in the tribe have all gathered here at this moment. They changed into Amazon combat uniforms, slung their hunting bows across their shoulders, and painted green patterns on their faces. They quietly half-knelt in front of a platform about one meter above the ground, lowered their heads, and no one spoke. The entire ceremony was silent.
"Please follow me." Yidaiya said softly, leading Lanwu and the other two through a group of tribesmen and onto the platform.
"It's not appropriate for us to stand here." Lanwu smiled awkwardly. This is definitely not the tradition of the Amazon. Bruna once said that the queen's inauguration ceremony is the most solemn ceremony of the entire Amazon race. Men can be allowed to watch the ceremony, but they will never be allowed to participate in the inauguration ceremony.
"This is the queen's arrangement." Yidaiya looked solemn, and it didn't seem like she was joking at all.
Lanwu and Ovira looked at each other. It's rare to see Amazons who dare to violate traditions. Compared with these Amazons, the Amazons in various places can only be regarded as humans with Amazon blood, and are called traitors by the Amazon tribes. It's not surprising that those professionals violated the Amazon tradition. But how could a little girl from the oldest Mavina tribe violate the Amazon tradition?
Yidaiya did not stay for long. After explaining, she left the platform, walked to the front of the tribe, half-knelt down, bowed her head and piously recited the ancient hymn to the forest goddess.
The cadence of the hymn echoed, adding a bit of mystery to the silent jungle. Lan Wu and Olvera's body shook slightly, and they looked at each other at the same time.
Both of them were professionals, and they were very sensitive to magic fluctuations. They noticed that as the hymn was recited, a faint magic fluctuation also emerged in the jungle. However, it was not the destructive magic fluctuation of professionals or demons. They had all seen the archangel Tyrael. This kind of magic fluctuation was also not like the relaxing magic fluctuation of angels.
This kind of magic fluctuation was full of peace and tranquility. Immersed in this kind of magic fluctuation, it was like being in the arms of a mother. Warm and peaceful, it made people willing to let go of all their worries.
Is there really a forest goddess?
Olvera opened his eyes wide in shock and subconsciously cast his gaze towards the dark jungle. As a paladin, he believed in the existence of gods, but he only worshipped angels. Forest goddess? What kind of god is that?
Compared to Olvera, Lan Wu was more likely to accept the existence of the forest goddess. He was originally an atheist. Although he was called a god, he had no fear of the gods, let alone worship. He was more curious about why the forest goddess did not appear in the original sin war.
At this time, the last note burst out from the mouths of Yidaiya and other Amazons. In an instant, the faint magic fluctuations around immediately gathered above this open space, like thousands of streams rushing into the sea, forming a ball of rich magic in the sky.
Lan Wu and Olvera looked up in surprise. This magic power was surprisingly huge. Before, I only thought that although there were magic fluctuations in the jungle, they were very small, and only professionals could detect this fluctuation. But I didn't expect it to be so huge after gathering together.
"I'm afraid that the real Duriel didn't have such great magic power at the time." Lan Wu murmured to himself, indescribably envious. Unfortunately, the amulet seemed to be unresponsive to this kind of magic and was not triggered at all.
Yidaiya and the other Amazons were now piously touching their chests with their right hands and bowing their heads deeply. The strangeness under the platform woke the two of them up. Only then did they realize that the little girl walked onto the platform accompanied by a woman who was still pale. Lan Wu and the others both recognized that this woman was the one they had rescued from the Soul Hunter Tribe.
The little girl at this time still looked severely malnourished, with yellow hair and a thin body. However, she was no longer wearing the coarse linen robe she had worn before, but a set of fitted leather armor, which made her look much more energetic.
The ceremony of the queen's inauguration continued. The little girl seemed to have known this day for a long time, and the whole set of cumbersome ancient rituals was completed meticulously. Finally, she took the ancient longbow handed over by the woman and raised it high above her head.
In an instant, Lan Wu and Ovira were startled again. The huge magic power above seemed to have found an outlet, competing to descend and sink into the longbow. Not long after, the longbow devoured all the magic power and regained its previous obscurity.
This longbow is not ordinary.
Lan Wu secretly smacked his lips. This magic power is more than enough to fill fifteen small amulets. But this longbow devoured all the magic power, but still did not change at all. It is worthy of being a heritage passed down by the Amazon clan to this day.
When the longbow devoured all the magic, the ceremony ended. Idiya and other Amazons respectfully presented delicious fruits to represent the tribe in accepting the queen's rule.
Lan Wu saw the young girl who had just taken office as the queen pick up a pear-like fruit and quietly winked at Olvera. It's okay to violate the Amazon tradition once. If you continue to stay, it will be overestimating your own abilities.
The two immediately went down to the platform and stepped aside to watch the end of the most important inheritance ceremony of the Amazon tribe. Unexpectedly, the little girl suddenly left Idiya and others and walked straight over.
"Lord God, please accept my plea." The little girl's voice was still dry, but the words were clear and full of expectations.
"She invited you to help her complete the entire succession ceremony." Bruna explained at the right time.
"What? It's not over yet?" Lan Wu was at a loss. In his opinion, this set of rituals was enough for the Amazons to be arrogant. Unexpectedly, this was just the beginning.
"If no other candidate appears when she returns to the Mavina tribe, then she will be the real Amazon Queen and rule all Amazon tribes." Bruna explained truthfully.
"Hey, Olvera, what should we do?" Lan Wu could only ask Olvera for help.
"Sorry, we still have to find the pharmacist Eco." Olvera lived up to the trust and flatly rejected the little girl's request.
"Well, I am Eco."
