MADILYNN
Boden was leading with Viny. Mady was walking side by side with Harper a few meters back. Mady looked at Harper and asked "You're walking very balanced. You must have worked for a long time. You're too young. At what age did you start exercising?"
Harper gathered her hair hanging in front of her and smiled at Mady "I've been exercising every day as long as I can remember. My family raised me like that."
Mady sighed "I have a brother. 24 years old. He had always wanted to be a professional boxer. But at the age of 21, he suffered a serious blow from his knee. Now He bounces off. If I get stronger in the future, I'll bring special potions for him. Maybe I'll find a medal for him?"
Harper looked at Mady and said, "There are 2 people I want to give medallions to. If I get more than two of them, I can leave it to you. No problem. Of course, if it is not about me, I do not intend to get involved in anyone's sharing."
Mady looked at Viny with a shrug. "Viny surely helps me. I think this is possible in other missions, although not now. After all, everyone wants to build a team they can trust. I believe they will get along well with my brother. My brother doesn't like calculations very much. Therefore, he can get along better with those who understand computing. Haha"
Harper lifted her eye towards Viny "I wonder what kind of system alert he got when he touched Amos' medallion on this issue the most."
Mady immediately stepped up as her eyes glowing "Hey Viny, Viny! I will ask something. "
"Mady? What happened?"
"I wonder what kind of warning the system gave. I mean that when you got Amos' medallion, what special warning did it give to you?"
"Ahh, you want spoilers. I am telling all of you that whether you learn the answer now or learn later, nothing will change. Are you sure you want to spoil the surprise? Shall I tell you?"
Boden couldn't stand and said "Are you always like this? It's like answering a question with a question in some way. You drive a person crazy."
Harper added, "I don't want to hear it anymore."
Mady panicked "No No! Partner, there is no such partnership, how can you keep me suspended. Pleaseeeeeeee! I'm very curious."
Viny came to her and leaned over her ear "When I grabbed the medal I saw the light. Someone waved to me at the light. "Come" "Come" "Come" he said. I went towards the light. And then…"
Viny continued to walk without breaking his posture. Mady wondered what he meant. Harper slid over to her "What did he say?"
"I-, I didn't understand anything. He talked about the light." After she said, she shook her head and continued on the road.
By walking for about 10 minutes, they reached two cardboard boxes that Amos did not carry with him. Viny bent down and opened one of the boxes. They found 120 packaged hamburgers in the box. The hamburger included only frozen meatballs and raw potatoes for frying. When he bent over and open the other box, there were 120 plastic bottles of water, 2 bottles of ketchup and 2 bottles of mayonnaise. When Viny saw the basic needs in boxes, he was happy.
When Mady saw the contents of the boxes, she exclaimed 'yuppi'
After looking at the boxes, Viny expressed his opinion "Yes, we can share its content equally. Otherwise it will be a problem to carry them. Especially juices. The waters make 60 kilograms, and the burgers are around 25 kilograms. If we say 90 kilos, it makes 22 kilos or something per person. This also adds a lot of weight. Fortunately, everyone has the same strength. That's why I think we can get 22 kilos additionally."
Harper commented with some thoughtfulness "It is not advantageous for us to proceed this way. It is obvious that we will not be able to take a shower any time soon. That's why we have to go over the cleaning issue a little and get used to living more dirty. My advice is let's put everything that is not lifesaving in boxes. Let's take our basic needs with us. The probability that nomads will go this route is one in eight. Therefore, we will not need to think about our belongings we will leave here unless they go through this way."
Boden took out his clothes, shoes, dinner plates, fork, spoon, etc. from his bag after a little thought and put it on the floor. After looking at the vodka bottles in his bag, he said "I can't let go of my vodkas. It doesn't make sense."
Viny came up to him and reached for Boden's bag and said "Since we've shared everything, I can carry one of the vodka you put in your bag."
Mady came over "I want it too."
Boden scratched his head "Hey Hey! There is no more socialism, comrades. Everyone to himself. Ahh. Let go of it. Not that either. My Vodkaaaaaaa!" he cried tearfully. Finally, Harper got a bottle, three bottles went to Mady, and 2 bottles went to Viny. There are only 4 bottles left in Boden.
Boden looked unhappy at his bag. It only contained 3-4 meals and four bottles of vodka, which he brought before. After putting 30 bottles of water in his bag, he put 30 packs of hamburgers on it. Boden stepped aside.
Viny took out a lot of winter stuff in his bag. There was different equipment. There were also hunting clothes and hunting gear. Viny wore a clean T-shirt and the leather armor he bought from the system. He found the hunter-vest from the materials and put it on.
Then he put the pocket knife, compass and a few nails and a piece of wire into the vest. He placed his short sword on his waist with its scabbard. He wore a long leather jacket over him. He placed his long sword in his sheath on his back. Then he put 2 T-shirts and a pair of sneakers in his bag. He placed 30 hamburgers on 30 water bottles and 2 vodka bottles and stepped aside.
Mady unhappily took out everything from her bag. There were different clothes and underwear in it. There was also a lot of hunting gear. There were even a few books. She placed drinks and food and put on a pair of spare mountaineering shoes and two spare mountaineering suits. She stepped aside.
Harper did the same. Everyone was surprised to see that Harper had brought food and water for at least ten days. Harper shrugged and signaled that she was ready. After the women placed their supplies in one box and the men in the other, they put the boxes on the side of the road. Viny picked up the shovel from the ground and started using it as a cane. Along with the two boxes, Amos also brought a shovel.
Everyone had a sleeping bag on their bag. Viny also took Amos' sleeping bag.
"Now that everyone is ready, let's go back to the junction point of the roads."
JUAN
"We were close enough. It looks good here. Two people keep watch, one person sleep, so as to sleep every two hours. Let the first Jin sleep. Then Piper you sleep. Then me. We keep the watch in turns. We will try to find out what the red men are hunting. We will watch with binoculars. Lets start camping"
Piper and Jin settled down, following what Juan said. Jin took out the sleeping bag and started to rest in it. After about 20 minutes, Juan excitedly lowered his binoculars and told Piper "You gotta look at this!" he pointed with his finger.
Piper looked curiously through the binoculars. A dark blur was moving. It darkened quickly towards the top of the mountain from far away. About hunders of 5-6 meters tall human-headed birds reached the top from the invisible face of the mountain. Piper watched her mouth wide open. Juan watched breathlessly, holding his own binoculars.
With their claws, the winged men attacked the very center of the town. Instead of taking cover or hiding, the red men set up a line of defense in the town square. The winged men were grabbing one by one with their claws and taking off. They shot about 20 winged men with giant arrows. The other winged men took more than 100 red men, including at least one, and fled away. There was no red man to lament. Everyone was shouting a cry of joy.
Piper turned to Juan "This is ridiculous, why are they glad?"
After Juan rubbed his eyes, he looked at the lying Jin. "We have to wake Jin up and let her take us to them. They know her. We can follow the events closely."
Piper gave some thought to Juan's suggestion, then gathered up some courage "Let's do it then!" Juan bent down and woke Jin up. When Jin opened her eyes, she felt a little nervous. When she saw Juan and Piper staring at her, she asked "Two hours?"
Juan said "Come on, get up. We go to the red guys. Hurry up."
After Jin recovered somewhat unhappy, she said to Piper "what happened? why don't we stay here They are very primitive. I do not want to go."
Piper swallowed and asked "They won't sexually assault me, do they? Has something like that happened to you?"
"They see us as minors or children" Jin shook her head.
Juan takes his bag on his back "Let's go. Let's find out why they are happy."
Piper explained what happened to Jin in a few minutes. The trio came to the front of the walls. The door opened and four guards greeted. This time the four guards were different. One of them looked at Jin and said "Hmm, I saw you today in the center of town. Then you had two arms"
Jin sadly said "I was attacked by some assholes." The guard shook his head.
Juan looked at the guards and asked "We were going to join the Umra nomads. Our master ordered us to join this group and survive. This is a test for us. We were also waiting outside and saw giant winged birds flying. We have just witnessed them attacking. We decided to watch closely, wondering why you were glad you hunted these birds rather than waiting outside. Do you mind if we come?"
Piper and Jin looked at the guards hopefully. The man who was the leader of the guards said with a full voice "Come, of course. Toyad, take them to the area where the ritual is held." One of the guards began to move forward. The trio followed after him. Other guards took their places and closed the door.
When Toyad quickly brings the group to the town square, pointing to the center of the square, "the ritual will take place here, you can wait and watch there." he said and turned back to the walls. Seeing Toyad walking away, the trio were curiously examining everyone around the square on the side of the road.
Thousands of red men, women, and children were together. An old strong red man appeared by pushing his way through the crowd, with 10 more powerful looking men beside him. Everyone muted and waited anxiously.
The old man said in a voice everyone can hear, "This time we hunted 22 Jukoru. There are 2800 people who didn't take their chances for this year. Yes, if you are not nominated, your chances may be even higher next time. Or it could be much lower. Normally we would hunt 8 or 9. Chances are really high. Now, everyone who has the right to draw and wants to participate in the lottery should send their name badges to the chefs."
Courtesy of the chieftain Athun, the chefs next to him collected the badges with bags in their hands. One of the chefs came up to Juan and the others while collecting the badges After staring at the trio for a few seconds, he completed his mission without disturbing his posture. Everyone watched with interest all the badges being brought together and put in the same sack. Looking at the number of badges, one of the chefs said "Approximately 1300 people were nominated. The highest number this year." The chieftain nodded, signaling everyone's retreat.
At the sign of the chieftain, the crowd split and the first giant bird man's body was carried by 6 people and put in front of the chieftain. Two of the men held his legs, and the other two held one wing each. The chieftain took out his knife from his waist, and he grabbed it's head and cut it off with a knife. After taking some of the flowing blood from its throat and rubbing it on his face, he raised his hand and said "Great Huggan. Great Huggan. Help us to choose our most valuable." he prayed. Then he put his bloody hand in the bag with the badges and chose one.
"113th Anuo"
A young woman came in front of the leader and kneeled, amidst everyone's envious or happy gaze. After the tribal leader gave the head to one of the chiefs, he pointed to the others. The men who brought the corpse severed the arms and wings and separated all the pieces at equal distance and formed a pentagon. The leader circled the men with blood dripping from the corpse. The men put the corpse pieces inside the circle and stepped back.
The chieftain came back to the body of the corpse and took out its heart. He took the heart and put it in the open hands of Anuo. One of the chiefs pulled a silver liquid from the well behind the chieftain and poured it into a bowl. The leader took the bowl and came to Anuo.
"My existence is a fire." The tribal leader said out loud.
"My existence is a fire." Anuo then repeated.
The whole tribe followed up "Good morning, child of the fire."
"My existence is from blood." The tribal leader said out loud.
"My existence is from blood." Anuo then repeated.
The whole tribe followed up "Let the blood come, Spring to the life. Let the soul come, Arouse the fire."
"Our ancestor Akon Hear me! Anuo will not deviate from your way!" Anuo shouted.
The chieftain took the liquid and poured it over Anuo's head, and Anuo bit the bloody heart in his hand and ate it to the end.
