Chapter 62: Promotion Ceremony: Session 3
Xue Hua's question made Kane frown as well.
He raised his head and thought for a while, then looked at Xue Hua and said, "We still know too little about the gods, and even now, we can't be sure if the gods really existed or at least once existed......
As for your doubts... Well, the word 'magic' is quite apt - but we don't know why Akara still has the power to perform so-called 'magic', so let's go back and ask her about herself when we have the chance......"
Except for the words of the 'blind man', there was no mention of any other gods in these books, and in the following time, although Kane and Xue Hua searched between the lines little by little, they did not find any clues.
Even in the depictions of some of the temples in the book, the author never mentions that the gods are enshrined in the temples, as if there is a taboo about this, and the author completely avoids all descriptions of the worship of the gods.
Turning the last page of the last book at hand, the sky outside the window was completely bright, and the flame of the last candle in the corner of the desk had also been extinguished after the wax had burned out, and the sudden change of light made both of them look up.
"Forget it, it seems that it is impossible to find more content in the book, so let's stop here today, the final challenge of the promotion ceremony is about to begin."
Kane closed the book, protected all the books scattered on the table like a hill, and said to Xue Hua after standing up and moving his muscles a little.
"Do you want to tell Queen Sarah about this?" Xue Hua also stretched his waist, put away the book in front of him, and asked Kane.
"Let me tell you, after all, it's a matter within the human family, it's okay if we don't know, it's not good if we know more than one voice." Kane nodded, picked up his cane leaning against the table, and walked out of the study.
After breakfast, Xue Hua and Kane were led by the Amazonian warriors of the Valkyrie Guard to the Colosseum located south of the city of Yukesen.
It is a large mix of wood and stone, with a vernacular Amazonian feel to it – it is built on a large number of logs, dotted with vines, oil paintings, hunting drawings and a circle of rattan bridges that enclose the central area of the gladiatorial arena.
Most of the Amazons who come to watch the ceremony are on the surrounding rattan bridge, the gladiatorial arena is square in shape, and three stands rise at the bottom of the southernmost point.
Xue Hua and Kane were taken to one of the stands to take their seats.
Not long after the two of them arrived, the three queens arrived soon in another higher stand next to them.
The Queen of the Sea Spear and the Queen of Chords are as always, but the Queen of Chant on the side seems a little absent-minded.
Xue Hua glanced at her twice, and saw that she had been hanging her head shallowly, although the expression on her face was as indifferent as ever, but her eyes showed a confused light from time to time.
It seems that last night's conversation was also very troublesome to the Queen, who felt that her attention was completely off the game.
"When the game is over, I'll tell the Queen of Chords about yesterday's events, and for now, let's focus on what's in front of us first."
Kane saw that he was observing the three queens, so he leaned over to him and whispered a few words.
Hearing his words, Xue Hua nodded and refocused his attention on the final challenge.
While he was observing the Chanting Queen, all participants in the third challenge had been led to the center of the field by the priests.
Unsurprisingly, Trigi was randomly assigned to the unrivalled member of Erin's team.
"The grouping is over, all teams, decide the flag bearer!" The white-robed chief priest shouted, and the two assistant priests behind him immediately stepped forward and distributed the bright yellow flags in their hands to all the teams.
Out of the four squads, sisters Anne and Funia quickly decided on the bearer of the flag—the older sister Anne planted the flag directly in the straps that flowed out of the armor behind their backs.
Erin, her teammates, and the other two squads were quick to decide on the flag bearer, with only Triggie and her new team member Aruna getting into a bit of a dispute over the matter.
"You, carry the flag on your back." Triggie said to Aruna in an almost commanding tone.
"Why am I?!"
"Because I'm better than you!" Cui Ji sneered, and a cold light flashed on the spear in his hand.
"Do you want to try a fight? I'll get you done in a minute! ”
"You!" Aruna's face was very ugly, although Sarah had already told her that Trigi would definitely let her be the standard-bearer to liberate her combat power, but when it came to the end, Aruna still didn't want to put her safety in the hands of a guy who had been hostile before.
However, at this moment, she had no choice.
"Humph!" Aruna snorted, but finally compromised.
She grabbed the flag and inserted it into the strap behind her armor with a look of resentment on her face.
The scene was normal for everyone else, but something was wrong for Sarah in the Queen's Stand.
Trigil's reaction was almost exactly what she had expected, and if it went on like this, the final outcome of this trial would not change much.
What's going on?
Fina didn't do any more?
Sarah subconsciously glanced back at Fina, but inadvertently noticed that the queen of the Chanting tribe had a worried expression on her face.
Is something going on in the Chanting tribe?
Sarah, who didn't know why, could only guess like this.
However, in the stands on the other side, Kane and Xue Hua saw this scene, but their faces showed the expressions they deserved.
After all, compared to the conversation with the goddess, it doesn't matter whether Choi Ji can pass the trial, or even whether she can successfully prevent the twin sisters from passing the trial.
Fina certainly didn't have the extra brain to think about this last night, and she couldn't tell anyone else about such a confidential matter.
With the character of the queen of chanting, even the most confidant of her subordinates, she will definitely keep a hand.
So the confusion caused by this matter can only be digested by her alone.
Since Fina didn't have the heart to make any "arrangements", there was basically no suspense in this trial.
Even though Triji is strong, the sisters are not vegetarians.
What's more, the other two squads also know who is the biggest threat, and the opponent with the biggest threat naturally has to be eliminated first.
After all four squads had chosen the bearers of the flag, the priests withdrew from the arena, and they asked the four squads to stand in the four corners of the arena, and then waved the sacrificial staff in their hands, and a rocket shot up into the sky and exploded in the sky.
Once again, the dark golden barrier descended from the sky, enveloping the entire gladiatorial area of the gladiatorial arena.
The final challenge of the promotion ceremony, the four groups of Capture the Flag Competition, has begun!
