Chapter 550 Harvest Brotherhood

The weather is clear and the sun is shining.

Ni Tou sat on a large rock that was hot from the sun, eating melon seeds and basking in the sun while watching the women washing clothes by the river.

The women, wrapped in linen, were washing and scrubbing clothes in the running water, and they talked to each other in light voices, like a flock of birds, and laughter broke out from time to time.

They also know that men are looking at them, but women have long been accustomed to it, and will even deliberately cast playful and dissatisfied glances at men who are peeking at them.

Mudhead was peeking at Camilla. But once Camilla looked over here, he would pretend nothing had happened and look at the water, or close his eyes and eat sunflower seeds.

"Nana is still pretty."

Tiejiao wiped his mouth with his hand, with an obsessed look on his face: "If I could combine Nana's face, Meili's breasts, Falenka's butt and legs, and Camilla's smile and voice into one person... If I could sleep with such a woman, it would be perfect."

He nudged his elbow against the mud head. "It's time to go. Come back and see."

Mudhead jumped off the rock with him and left on the other side of the river.

As he passed by, Ni Tou glanced at Camilla, but Camilla didn't look at him.

Tiejiao shouted loudly: "Meili, are you free to drink with me tonight?"

Meili, who was washing clothes across the street, stood up, put her hands on her hips and said, "Go find your mother!"

"I don't have a mother."

Tiejiao said with a playful smile: "Ladies, if anyone is free, you are welcome to come to the grove to find me. I will definitely be there."

The women were used to it and no one paid any attention to him.

Tiejiao looked back every few steps, his face full of regret: "What a pity."

When Ni Tou left the river, Camilla was no longer on his mind.

He now has to work for the gang and deal with a small border matter first.

Crossing a river and a hill, and entering a rocky area in the canyon, Mud Head and Iron Foot moved forward in silence, and then walked into a narrow path ahead.

At the narrow passage, both of them took out a piece of blood mud from their cloth bags and smeared their faces with blood. Then they both reached into their pockets and grabbed a handful of golden ash and threw it with both hands.

"There is a golden light covering my body."

A faint golden light appeared on the two of them.

Mud Head and Iron Foot pulled out sickles from their belts and strode forward.

"Brotherhood!"

Tiejiao knocked the mountain wall next to him with his sickle and shouted at the people in front of him: "Who allowed you to set up an altar here! Do you know the rules?"

The seven people in front slowly turned their heads.

They were all men, with dark eye sockets, pale faces, and lifeless eyes staring straight at Ni Tou and Tie Jiao.

The leader stood in front of the stone altar.

He wore an iron crown with pointed horns, and his head was set in a hollowed-out black wild boar head. There were two bloodshot eyes in the bone cavity.

Ni Tou clenched the handle of the sickle tightly.

He is the animal-headed priest of the Black Templar.

This person is a high-ranking member of the temple and a core figure.

How did you get here?

Could it be true, as the outside world said, that because of the loss of the holy relic, the Black Templar is now at the end of its rope, and the original altars and temples were destroyed and punished by the invisible dragon? Mud Head glanced at Iron Foot.

Tiejiao looked straight ahead and hooked the index finger holding the sickle.

This means to hold steady.

The clay man also reacted.

If they act rashly or even try to escape, they may be killed by the beast-headed priests. They must be subdued first to prevent them from acting recklessly.

Tiejiao smiled and said, "Although I am a beast-headed priest, this is the territory of our Harvest Brotherhood. Isn't this against the rules?"

"The Brotherhood's territory is dedicated only to the Messenger and the 'Golden Lady', and no other altar ceremonies are allowed. If you do this, it will be very difficult for us to deal with it."

"Or is it that the Templar is going to go to war with the Brotherhood?"

The beast-headed priest said nothing, just looked at the two men. The six people next to him did not move, just stared at them.

"Give me a word."

Tiejiao's smile faded: "Fight or retreat. The big brothers of the Brotherhood are on the way. They won't be as easy to talk to as us later."

In the fraternity, members are divided into four categories according to their different responsibilities: "older brother", "younger brother", "older sister" and "younger sister".

The elder brother refers to the strongest fighter of the brotherhood, usually called the eldest brother. They usually play the role of elder brother and the leader of a group of younger brothers. For example, the clay man and the iron foot are both younger brothers.

The younger brothers are the most common low-level cadres in the Brotherhood, maintaining order everywhere, clearing out heretical sects and organizations, and carrying out the orders of their older brothers.

The elder sister corresponds to the elder brother, but she is in charge of the younger sisters. The elder sisters usually do not directly participate in fights and conflicts. They are the housekeepers of the fraternity, and are responsible for recruiting and selecting new members, and taking care of the weak and disabled in the fraternity.

The younger sister is the reserve team of the older sisters, and is also the younger sister's subordinate and follower.

According to the internal hierarchy between associations, the elder brother's status is equivalent to that of the animal-headed priest.

The clay man knows it clearly.

Tiejiao was giving the other party a way out. Although the beast-headed priest was a high-ranking official in the temple, this was the Brotherhood's territory, and once the big brother arrived, it would be difficult for the priest to leave.

Of course, it would be a great achievement if we could catch this group of people.

The problem is that it can't be done.

Tiejiao could only settle for the next best thing and try to shock the other party. Their eldest brother Jinquan didn't know about this at all.

The two sides confronted each other for a moment.

The beast-headed priest turned around and said, "Leave. I won't hold you responsible for disrupting the sacrifice."

He pulled out a dagger from his waist, chanted an incomprehensible spell, and gently stroked the dagger with his fingers. There was a living person tied to the altar behind him.

Tiejiao and the clay man looked at each other and understood what the other meant.

A wise man will not suffer a loss in front of him, so he goes back to call for help.

When they reached the main road intersection, Tiejiao suddenly patted the clay figurine and said, "Go call Brother Jinquan. I'll keep an eye on them here."

The clay figurine said, "Don't do it."

"I know. I'm very scared of death. How could I dare to fight them? They are beast-headed priests. I'm not stupid."

Tiejiao grinned and said, "Give me some melon seeds. I don't have many left."

Nitou took out all the melon seeds in his pocket and gave them to him.

Tiejiao was cracking melon seeds while holding a sickle, staggering towards the narrow path in the canyon.

The clay man turned around and ran away!

He ran to the nearest ancestral hall of the brotherhood at the fastest speed in his life to ask his elder brothers for help.

Because the clay figurine could see clearly that the person tied to the altar was Phalenka. Although she was in a daze, her appearance was too easy to recognize.

The sun was very hot that day, and the ground was smoking. The grass around was twisting like a monster.

The clay man ran to find his eldest brother Jin Quan who was in the ancestral hall and reported to him that the temple had arrested people and opened the altar. Jin Quan called on his men and rushed to the secret altar in the valley.

When we got there, the enemy had disappeared.

Tiejiao sat leaning against the altar, his face pale and all the blood in his body drained.

Falenka, who was sitting next to him, kept crying.

Falenka said that Tiejiao tried to stop the blood sacrifice, but the beast-headed priest's secret method could control corpses - the people next to him were all zombies, not afraid of pain or death. Tiejiao fought hard, but was eventually subdued.

Seeing that Farenka was about to be disemboweled by the blood sacrifice, Tiejiao proposed that he should be disemboweled in exchange for Farenka.

"I slept with her, helped her once."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Falenka twitched and repeated Tiejiao's last words.

The clay man knew that this was what Ironfoot would say.

After the blood sacrifice ceremony was over, the beast-headed priest left directly without silencing Falenka.

He just said: "It has nothing to do with personal grudges. It is just to offer sacrifice to the Lord of the Temple, hoping to appease the anger of the gods. Forget everything today and continue to live."

Jin Quan picked up Tie Jiao's broken body and said, "Go back."

Tiejiao was buried in the cemetery behind the ancestral hall and returned to the earth with his other dead brothers and sisters.

Jin Quan led his sixteen younger brothers to worship the statue of "Our Lady of Golden Light" in the ancestral temple.

In front of the statue, Golden Fist said: "Goddess of the Golden Light, I, Golden Fist, swear that from today on, if the Black Temple does not hand over the murderer, anyone who dares to enter my territory will be killed without mercy!"

Ni Tou was also full of energy and searched everywhere in his jurisdiction for any traces of the people from the temple.

People often die in conflicts between societies, but the death of members while defending their own territory is the bottom line that cannot be tolerated by any organization.

Jin Quan also consulted with his other brothers and found that the people of the Holy Temple were everywhere, setting up altars and offering sacrifices with the blood of the living. Their behavior showed an incomprehensible madness. Many people said that the Holy Temple was really crazy.

…

When Mud Head took a break, he would still sit on the stone and watch the female workers wash clothes.

The women still laughed, chatted and joked. Someone would die in the fraternity, and everyone had learned to move on.

Camilla remained the focus of Nitou's attention.

She has a clear and melodious voice, and when she laughs, all the pain in the world disappears.

A gift made by Mudhead for Camilla.

It was a clay kitten, painted yellow, sitting on the ground and staring ahead. He knew Camilla liked cats and raccoons, but he didn't have the food or energy to raise them.

Nitou is very good at playing with clay. There are many clay sculptures in his small hut, all of which were made by him.

"Thank you, Mudhead."

Camilla said she liked it very much.

She told Mudhead, "I am leaving the Kingdom of Mystic Arts. A goblin merchant thought I had a good voice and was pretty, so he wanted to take me to the Kingdom of Resurrection. It was said that the Yao tribe had built a theater there and would perform singing, dancing and drama."

Nitou said, "You sing very well, everything will go well for sure."

"Thank you."

Camilla held the clay kitten and said, "I will take it with me wherever I go."

Mudhead hummed.

A few days later, Camilla said goodbye to everyone one by one and got on the goblin merchant's carriage.

Camilla no longer appeared by the river, and Mudhead felt a little uncomfortable.

He could only spend the rest of his time kneading clay as he had done as a child. He kneaded pieces of clay into all kinds of animals, masks, figurines, and even statues of the "Goddess of Golden Light" in ancestral halls.

One day, the Golden Fist brother informed him: "Pack up and follow me."

"I will be participating in an important negotiation on behalf of the Brotherhood. The top leaders of the Four Seas Temple, Green Forest, and the Holy Temple will be present. This negotiation is organized by the Resurrection Kingdom. The Mystic Kingdom now belongs to Lord Yaoshen, not Lord Messenger and Lord Seven Sea Sirens."

"After the time passes, talk less, watch more, and learn more."

…

The negotiations took place in a tall white fortress.

This is a building that the Resurrection Kingdom built out of thin air on the ground.

There are two mobile fortresses patrolling slowly on the left and right. Their tall and powerful skeletons, as well as the impact and vibration of the ground when moving, give people a heavy and cold sense of oppression.

The fortress was spacious and comfortable, with exquisite tables and chairs, bright glass, and thick blankets on the floor.

There is a green potted plant on the table in the center. This magical plant called brain mint can enable people to understand each other's language.

Ni Tou stood behind Jin Quan, watching the important figures take their seats one by one.

The last to arrive was a skeleton wearing a wide-brimmed leather hat and a tight leather coat. It sat at the top and took off its hat, revealing a bare white skull.

"I am Sidar, the person in charge of this external liaison for the Resurrection Kingdom. Please introduce yourselves and the status of your respective associations."

While the others were still thinking about their own things, Jin Quan had already stood up and clasped his fists.

"I am the Golden Fist of the Harvest Brotherhood, so let me first talk about us."

"The Brotherhood worships the 'Golden Lady' and was originally composed of farmers. In the early days, we united to avoid being bullied by outsiders. We mainly do farming and grazing, and everything else is incidental. The Brotherhood has more than 48,000 experienced farmers. The Golden Lady blesses us with a good harvest. This is the Brotherhood's basic industry. One-tenth of the food on the market in the Mystic Kingdom is produced by us."

"The whole Brotherhood is very excited to be surrounded by the divine power of Lord Yao. Of course, this does not mean that the previous Lord Gods were bad. The Lord Gods of all generations have helped us a lot. However, Lord Yao is too famous, and I heard that he values ​​agriculture and animal husbandry very much. The Brotherhood is sincerely happy to be Lord Yao's follower."

"If there's anything the Brotherhood needs, please let me know."

Mudhead was shocked.

Brother Golden Fist had a rebellious and strong personality. As far as Ni Tou knew, he had never spoken in such a humble manner.

Even when it comes to God, the Brotherhood has never been so humble in the past. Because God doesn't care about the secular world, everyone just needs to pay lip service to respect him, which is already a convention.

The skeleton man Sidal nodded and said, "That's great. Then, the Brotherhood will be the first folk association of the Mystic Nation registered in the Resurrection Kingdom. I'll trouble you to go through the registration process later."

"You are welcome to come to the Resurrection Kingdom to do business and travel, but you are not allowed to set up altars or develop organized beliefs here."

"Understood, understood."

Golden Fist said with a smile.

Ni Tou could see clearly that the eldest brother was relieved, as if he had finally settled down.

What on earth were the parties discussing in this so-called negotiation? Nitou didn't quite understand.

But he had never seen Brother Golden Fist so nervous and serious.
