Chapter 259: Beheading a blood oath (1)
Translator: 549690339
Zhao Hai’s actions had left mendus with a very good impression. Furthermore, Zhao Hai had saved Wells and helped him before, so mendus ‘impression of Zhao Hai was much better than that of other human merchants.
The group chatted and laughed for a while before Zhao Hai looked up at Weyers and said,”My brother Weyers, what are you going to do now? Food is not a problem, but if you want to overthrow garthor, you need to have a plan. You can not just go there rashly.”
Wales was stunned for a moment. To be honest, he didn’t have a specific plan so far. He only wanted to use food to attract the other branches of the race, but he didn’t have a more detailed plan.
Zhao Hai looked at Weyers and said, ” “My brother Weyers, I think you should have a more detailed plan, but I can’t help you with this. You should know that I’m a human and I don’t know much about the herculean bull tribe. If I help you too much, it might have the opposite effect, so this matter will have to depend on you. After you’ve made your plan, you can tell me how to go. If you don’t want to attract attention, we can go our separate ways. All you need to do is tell me where to transport the food.”
Weyers looked at Zhao Hai and said, ” my brother, your reminder is timely. I have something to discuss with you. I hope you can agree to it. &Quot;
Zhao Hai looked at Weyers in confusion. &Quot; “Brother Weyers, what’s up? As long as it’s within my means, I’ll definitely do my best to help.”
Weyers looked at Zhao Hai with a serious expression and said,”My brother Zhao Hai, I would like to make a beheading blood oath with you!”
Zhao Hai was taken aback. He looked at Weyers in confusion. Laura and the others didn’t understand as well. Mendus and Yale, on the other hand, were looking at Weyers in shock.
The blood oath of beheading was a very special kind of oath among orcs. This kind of oath was not made by one person, but by two people. In the words of earth, it was called sworn brotherhood!
However, the orcs valued this oath more. Once two people made this oath, they would be Blood Brothers, and no one could betray the other. Otherwise, they would be despised by all the orcs, and in serious cases, they might be hunted down.
The blood oath of beheading didn’t require one’s own blood. Instead, the two people who made the blood oath had to chop off the head of a coiled sheep at the same time and take a bowl of sheep’s blood. After drinking the bowl of sheep’s blood together, they were not allowed to betray each other anymore. When the other was in trouble, the other party had to help as much as possible. They couldn’t go back on their words even if they had to go bankrupt or even die a horrible death.
Don’t think that this blood oath was casually made. According to the orcs, this blood oath was completed under the witness of the beast God, and if anyone violated it, they would be punished by the war beast God.
The orcs took the blood oath very seriously. It could be seen from the magic beast that they used to make the blood oath. Although the coiling sheep was only a 1st-tier magic spell, it was the most important magic beast to the orcs. Therefore, they would not easily make a blood oath with a person, even if it was someone from the same race, let alone a foreign race.
It had been a long time since anyone had made a beheading blood oath on the orc grassland, let alone with a human. No one had ever heard of an orc making a beheading blood oath with a human.
That was why humans had never heard of orcs taking a beheading blood oath. Even if they had heard of it, they might not have remembered it, because this blood oath was meaningless to humans. That was why Laura and the others had never heard of a beheading blood oath.
Weyers looked at Zhao Hai’s expression and knew that Zhao Hai did not understand what a beheading blood oath was. With a serious expression, he said, &Quot; my brother, the beheading blood oath is the most important oath for us orcs. Once we make the beheading blood oath, we will be true brothers … &Quot; he then explained the meaning of the beheading blood oath to Zhao Hai, Laura, and the others.
Zhao Hai, Laura, and the others listened to Weyers “words quietly. A blood oath with a severed head. A blood-drenched oath. In fact, this oath carried more weight than a severed head.
It was easy to be beheaded. In a battle, countless people would be beheaded. However, when a friend was in trouble, very few people would even sacrifice their own lives to help. From this point, one could see the weight of this blood oath.
Zhao Hai remained silent for a long time after Weyers finished speaking. He understood from Weyers ‘words that a beheading blood oath was equivalent to sworn brotherhood on earth. It was equivalent to three sworn oaths!
If there was a country on earth that valued Brotherhood the most, it would be China. But I don’t think it’s China now, it’s China in ancient times.
The three Oaths of Brotherhood in the peach Garden had been passed down since ancient times and had its own reasons. Perhaps only the three Oaths of Brotherhood in the peach Garden could be compared with the headless oath of the orcs.
The orcs valued this oath so much that it put Zhao Hai in a difficult position. He didn’t know what to do because he really didn’t want to get involved in the battle between the orcs. However, if he really became Weyers ‘blood-sworn brother, he would have to get involved. This would go against his original intentions.
Laura and the others didn’t say anything. The current situation put them in a difficult position. If Zhao Hai didn’t agree to Wales’s request, it would be difficult for them to continue working with him. However, if he agreed, they would have to participate in the power struggle. This wasn’t a good thing for them.
Zhao Hai raised his head and looked at Weyers. Weyers was currently looking at him with a sincere expression. This made Zhao Hai even more troubled.
To be honest, Zhao Hai and Weyers “relationship had not yet reached the point of a blood oath. However, Weyers had suggested it. If he didn’t agree, it would be too hurtful.
Weyers ‘personality was different from his. He didn’t have much ambition, but Weyers did. He wasn’t arrogant, but Weyers was arrogant. The two didn’t seem to have much in common, but fate had connected the two together.
Looking at Weyers, Zhao Hai suddenly felt like laughing. He had never thought of such a thing. Even when he was on earth, he didn’t think of it. However, he didn’t expect that when he went to the other world, he would be asked to be sworn brothers by a man with a bull’s head. This was really interesting.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hai’s mood suddenly brightened. He didn’t really lose anything. He had become sworn brothers with Weyers, so he had to do his best to help Weyers become the patriarch of the herculean divine bull tribe. Even if he didn’t become sworn brothers, wasn’t he helping Weyers become the patriarch? Then what’s the difference between becoming sworn brothers and not? The only thing missing was the form.
Zhao Hai suddenly burst into laughter. He stood up and said,”Then what are you waiting for, brother Weyers!”
Hearing Zhao Hai’s words, Weyers let out a long sigh of relief. Then, he stood up and laughed, &Quot; okay, my brother, I was waiting for you to say that. Sixth brother, teacher, get ready! &Quot;
Mendus and Yale nodded, then turned and left the tent. They still didn’t quite understand Weyers “actions, but they didn’t object.
There wasn’t much to prepare for this ceremony. Orcs didn’t have as many etiquettes as humans. To orcs, it was too troublesome and they didn’t need it.
After mendus and Yale left the tent, Weyers pulled Zhao Hai out of the tent as well. By the time they left the tent, mendus and the others were already prepared. Actually, there wasn’t much to prepare. Yale had brought a bowl, mendus had brought a plate of lamb, and a guard had brought a flying axe.
Although the flying hatchet was considered a small hand hatchet among the orcs, it weighed 10 pounds. For the strong orcs, it was not a problem to cut off the head of a lamb.
With these three items, everything needed for the ceremony was ready. Zhao Hai and Weyers walked to the side of the coiled sheep. It was a very large, adult coiled sheep, and was currently being pressed down to the ground by two herculean divine ox Warriors.
Weyers walked to the side of the coiled goat and turned to look at Zhao Hai. &Quot; my brother, according to the beheading blood oath, two people must cut off the head of the coiling sheep together. But I don’t think you can lift the axe with your body, right? ”
Zhao Hai smiled bitterly. &Quot; my brother, not only can’t I hold the axe, I can’t even cut off the sheep’s head. I think I’ll leave the sheep’s head to you. How about I take the sheep’s blood? ”
&Quot; alright, brother, ” said Wells with a hearty laugh. &Quot; we’ll do it. &Quot; He picked up his hatchet and Zhao Hai picked up his wine bowl. Under mendus ‘command, they stood beside PAN yang.
Zhao Hai had never killed so violently before, so he didn’t know how to collect the sheep’s blood. Mendus had seen it before, but it wasn’t when he was making the blood oath.
Soon, everyone was ready. Weyers saw that Zhao Hai was in position. He immediately roared and swung his axe. The axe was like a bolt of lightning as it cut through coiling sheep’s neck. The flying axe was too sharp. With Weyers ‘monstrous strength, the axe was not hindered by the task at hand. The head of coiling sheep was cleanly chopped off.
Coiling sheep’s head flew far away. Blood spurted out like a fountain due to the blood pressure. Mendus was indeed experienced. The position he pointed to Zhao Hai was really good. The blood spurted in front of Zhao Hai, but not a single drop landed on him.
Zhao Hai didn’t take the blood immediately. He waited until the sheep blood stopped spurting. Then, he reached out and filled the bowl with the sheep blood.
At this moment, Wells handed his axe to his men. The two men who were holding the Lamb down also carried the Lamb away. They had to deal with it immediately. They would eat the Lamb in a while.
Weyers led Zhao Hai to an empty space. The bowl of goat’s blood was placed in front of them. Weyers knelt down with Zhao Hai and read aloud, ” &Quot; great beast God, under your witness, Zhao Hai and I have made a beheading blood oath. From today onwards, we are brothers connected by blood. If we break this oath, ten thousand beasts will stomp on us and turn us into meat paste. &Quot;
