Chapter 66 - Hundred Beasts Sacrifice!

Chapter 66 - Hundred Beasts Sacrifice!

Carlos tiptoed in, looking like a thief, not daring to utter a breath, then gently took his clothes up and changed into buckskin.

  Carlos just lay on the bed and thought about it, covered with his own clothes or a little inappropriate, this wait for sleep and wake up can not be good to explain, which came over to change, change after taking the clothes out.

  "Now I can finally get a solid night's sleep!"

  Carlos got dressed and lay on his side, then closed his eyes tightly and quickly fell asleep.

  The night is as dark as a curtain of ink, and the morning sun is like a huge hand, slowly pulling the curtain open.

  When the first rays of morning light penetrate the mist, it signals another colorful morning that descends upon the world with freshness.

  The people of the Mythic Rattlers and the Oro Owls had gone to sleep at the beginning of the dawn, while the Bell Bears and Roberts on Carlos' side were slowly waking up from their sleep.

  The morning air is always a little damp and watery, and the grass is covered with bean-sized dewdrops that can wet your pant legs as you pass through it!

  Hoffman got up extra early today, everyone was still asleep when he woke up, and Hoffman made a point of checking on Carlos when he got up.

  After seeing Carlos lying on all fours, Hoffman walked reassuringly over to the granary and gently lifted the stone slab Three o'clock in the morning, Carlos was just getting up; it's hard to get up early in the morning when you've slept too late in the night "Whew!

  It took a lot of work to get a line last night, so let's practice more today."

  Carlos thought this, and then saw the buckskin folded neatly beside the bed.

  Walked out to find Shelia practicing her battle song, Shelia wouldn't have been like this before, what was wrong with her today?

  Carlos walked in and stopped to listen, it wasn't a spiritual battle cry that Carlos was familiar with, he hadn't heard it before, but Carlos felt warm and fuzzy all over when he heard it, and had a feeling of having energy that he didn't have anywhere to go.

  "What's this song?"

  Carlos has always asked questions when he didn't understand.

  "The name of the song is Rhonda Byrne, it's one of the power war songs, how do you feel when you hear it?"

  Shelia replied simply, then asked Carlos with a hint of hope in her eyes.

  "Feelings, just feel the body strength continue to pour out, quite comfortable."

  Carlos described it briefly.

  "Is that all there is?

  No other feelings whatsoever?"

  Shelia was a little disappointed.

  "Uhm is there anything else you want to feel?"

  Carlos said suspiciously.

  "Don't you ever feel anxious?

  Just kind of want to hit someone that way!"

  Shelia said.

  "Not really, I'm quite at peace with myself."

  Carlos said truthfully, and his flat voice underscored it.

  "Alas, it still didn't work."

  Shelia was a little frustrated.

  Rhonda Byrne is a weakened version of the Berserker Battle Hymn, with power-enhancing and mood-channeling effects, and the Berserker Battle Hymn is so much more effective than that that magic damage is only reduced to an acceptable level when the warrior enters a state of berserkerism.

  Orc warriors increased by the Berserker Battle Hymn are able to increase their power increase by three to five times, and drastically reduce their pain perception, and are tireless, keeping the warriors' spirits high at all times!

  This is the most frequently used war song of every war priest, an essential enchantment for charging into battle, with a slight side effect of a whole day of soreness, weakness, and a more depressed state after the berserking effect is over.

  So on the battlefield berserking war songs are used alternately in different tribes, unless it comes to the time of breaking the boat, backwater, otherwise it will not be easy to berserk all the warriors in the troops.

  Hylia practicing this battle song would be helpful for the mastery of the Berserker Battle Song later on, except that Hylia was still only an Ode Sacrifice at this point in time, and moving up was only an Iron Blood Sacrifice, and then a War Sacrifice.

  And right now, Hylia wasn't even too effective at chanting Rhonda Byrne, and Hylia's path to sacrifice still had quite a long way to go between being a War Sacrifice and a War Sacrifice.

  "I think it's okay, this war song is pretty good, I want to sing this too, teach me."

  Sensing Hylia's low mood, Carlos said upholding the idea of encouragement, and expressed interest in this Rhonda Byrne.

  "You're already an Order Sacrifice, this song is too low level for you, you can just learn the Berserking Battle Song, I'll teach you the score, and later you can take the Sacrifice Codex and learn it yourself.

  It only contains most of the generalized battle songs, but it's still enough for you to learn for a long time, as an Order Sacrifice you don't even have as many types of battle songs as a Sacrifice Apprentice at this point in time, how can that be!"

  Shelia said.

  "What do you mean there are only generic war songs?

  And is a sacrifice just more powerful the more battle songs you master?"

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

  Carlos asked.

  "That's not true, but there are also rituals that specialize in a particular war song and are much more effective than others.

  The amount of mastery is never a criterion for judging the strength or weakness of a ritual, only that the more mastery one has, the more comfortable one will be in dealing with different situations.

  You have a lot to deal with in the future as a lord, how can you do that if you only know one or two songs."

  "Generalized battle songs are those that everyone knows, and every priest can learn them, it's public, and everyone can share and discuss their insights with each other, but there's more to ritual battle songs than just that!

  It certainly pays to have a lot of war songs!"

  "In the Orc Empire, almost every race has a battle song that is unique to their race, and this battle song has a very powerful effect on their race!

  Such a battle song is called an exclusive battle song, in which the special pronunciation cannot be learned by ordinary people."

  "But there is a very famous bard in the Imperial Capital, his name is Viscombe, and he has dedicated his life to delving into the exclusive battle songs of each race, and is known as the Ritual of the Hundred Beasts.

  It's rumored that he can chant the exclusive battle songs of almost all orc races, and was once the teacher of an Imperial Royal Prince!"

  "Unfortunately, this was hundreds of years ago, and he didn't seem to have any heirs, so this skill disappeared with him.

  But this does not affect people longing for him, until now the imperial capital has a special statue to honor and remember him, this Code of Sacrifice are compiled by him.

  If there is anyone who has mastered the entirety of the Ritual Battle Hymn, only just that lord can claim that title!"

  Hylia in the eyes full of worship and respect, this kind of eyes Carlos also only in Hylia to tell the glory of the god of war only seen, it seems that this Viscombe her heart has an extremely high position.

  Learning the exclusive battle songs of all the races was a bit unrealistic for Carlos, so Carlos set a small goal to at least learn all the battle songs on the Ritual Code!

"So it's always good to learn more war songs, isn't it?"

  Shelia said with a smile.

  "Feeling it, I'll try harder in the future."

  Carlos had already set his mind to learn all the battle songs on the Ritual Code, so he answered very firmly at this moment.

  "It's almost noon. Let's eat. I'm starving!

  !"

  Hoffman's voice came from a distance, the emotion permeated with an indescribable longing.

  "I'm hungry too, let's eat."

  Shelia was also a little hungry at Hoffman's shouting.

  Carlos looked up at the sky, the sun had almost come overhead and it was time to eat.

  Carlos nodded, then handed the Ritual Codex in his hand to Shelia, then walked straight to the cellar granary, just about to take food from it.

  Instead, he saw signs of shifting in the leftmost slab, which Carlos had last put up last night.

  Yesterday when I took the reward for Hoffman and the others, I also took it from the right side, so how could this piece on the left side move!

  The grass pressed on the far left is obviously wobbly and the indentations aren't even perfectly overlapping anymore, so this must be a case of someone opening the granary privately to take the meat!

  Realizing this, Carlos looked around before opening the granary, surrounded by Bell Bear Clan warriors and Robert Rabbit Clan warriors who were glaringly waiting to eat.

  Hoffman sat on the ground, Avril stood by quietly waiting with the Robert Rabbits, and Shelia walked behind herself, and all was well.

  Carlos's eyes swept over everyone in the room, their eyes were a little blank, wondering at what Carlos was looking at.

  Carlos's eyes swept over each face with thoughts of scrutiny and detection, wanting to see whoever's eyes were flickering, that they were weak-minded!

  While looking at Avril, Avril had her hands behind her back, slightly tilting her head, her two rabbit ears gently shrugging and blinking her big eyes in an indescribably cute way.

  It was Carlos himself who was a little too weak to look at it more than a quick glance and averted his eyes.

  Then moving on to the others, the Bellbear warriors were the focus of Carlos' observation.

  One by one, Carlos looked over them critically one by one, but each one acted naturally and without problems.

  In looking at Hoffman, because Hoffman was seated on the floor, Carlos' eyes were looking from above, a viewpoint most likely to bring the oppressive feeling of scrutiny.

  Carlos tried to stare into Hoffman's eyes, but Hoffman was staring into the granary with his eyes glazed over at the moment, and his intense desire for a meal prevented him from even noticing that Carlos was looking at him.

  Carlos stared for a few seconds, and Hoffman didn't look up to meet his eyes for a moment, and Carlos didn't have much reason to yell specifically to get Hoffman to look up at him.

  It could not be judged that Hoffman was deliberately avoiding looking at himself, after all, Hoffman's foodie nature Carlos knew in his own heart, and there was no excuse for staring at the granary.

  Carlos averted his gaze and continued to look at the others, what Carlos didn't realize was that the moment he averted his gaze, a drop of sweat slowly trickled down the back of Hoffman's neck, and Hoffman's back had been drenched in cold sweat!

  There is an indescribably subtle feeling when a person is being stared at, and of course Hoffman could detect that Carlos was staring at him, but Hoffman still looked at the granary, just because he was weak-minded!

  So he had to stare at the granary, just now he was afraid that Carlos would suddenly call out to him and then after he jerked his head up, Carlos would see the panic in his eyes.

  Fortunately, Carlos didn't call out to him after all, and Hoffman couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief when he felt the gaze move away, and it was a good thing he was sitting down, because if he had been standing up his legs probably wouldn't have been able to stop shaking!

  Carlos continued to look for suspicious targets, the last one was Shelia, after Carlos' eyes rested on Shelia's face, Shelia just happened to be looking at Carlos as well, and the two of them looked at each other with eyes that weren't exactly imploring.

  It's just that Shelia looks at Carlos looking into her own beady eyes as well, plus the fact that she woke up this morning covered in Carlos's buckskin sheets.

  With a young girl's mind, she could not help but have some reverie, so the blush on her face rose up at once!

  Then blushed and bowed her head.

  There is a saying that the first time you see a pretty face red color, from then on the heart to live in the Izzy!

  Shelia's instant blush had trumped a large confession!

  On the contrary, Carlos, after seeing Shelia's very swiftly bowing her head, instantly this heart had a little thought, and it just went with the flow, taking it for granted that this was a deliberate avoidance in the style of a thief's heart!

  "So it was Shelia who secretly moved the granary, how could she move it alone?

  There must be an accomplice, and who is the accomplice?"

  Carlos's mind immediately began to reel.

  After going over and over in his mind, Carlos was no sleuth and couldn't come up with anything, but he had already convinced himself that he had solved the case perfectly through micro-expressions and managed to identify the mastermind of the crime!

  "Why would you want to move the granary on the sly?

  Maybe she's too hungry, then take her a little more today and she shouldn't be like this."

  Carlos thought he had dissected the motive and a good way to solve the problem.

  Carlos   then smiled and went to open the granary, this time choosing to do it from the left.

  Hoffman's heart suddenly stuttered when he saw Carlos walking straight off to the left, thinking Carlos was going to loudly question who had moved the granary slab.

  As a result, Carlos was the one who simply lifted the stone slab and then greeted the crowd by moving the meat out of it, as if he hadn't noticed anything.

  The amount of meat that was taken out this time was not small, and the meal that was made was so hearty that everyone should be able to eat a lot, Avril, who had never been a big eater, was soon full, while Hoffman was happily chowing down on a lot of food, eating straight out of his mouth.

  Hylia didn't eat much, and very slowly, chewing and swallowing one bite at a time, probably because of the nobleman's etiquette that she had been raised with, eating only a little bit at a time when she ate.

  Carlos felt that it was eating like this that caused Shelia to not get enough to eat, and that was why she had to sneak food from the granary.

  That's why a piece of meat was purposely put into Shelia's bowl.

  "I don't think that you can feel the pleasure of eating meat at all if you eat it like this!

  Come and have a big one!"

  Carlos said as he took a piece of meat and put it in Shelia's bowl.

  Startled, Shelia stared at the chunks of meat sitting in the bowl, her heart beating faster and faster, her brain dead as she didn't know what to say.

  "Be sure to eat enough every time you eat, tell me if you're not full, and don't aggravate yourself okay."

  Carlos' words were meant to imply that Shelia should stop stealing food, but they sounded like a strong show of concern and love to Shelia's ears!
