Chapter 911 This is clearly flat, how can it be called a ball?
Under the guidance of Nerila, Bell and his party quickly walked into a wooden and stone structure hall located in the center of the tribe.
Due to the lack of trees and boulders on the grassland, although there are a lot of trees in the distant forest, it is too dangerous for the orcs who are used to living in the grassland. Therefore, there are very few buildings made of trees and stones in the Augu tribe, and most of them are made of mud. It is built with thatch and animal skins.
The overall shape of the main hall is very rough, and there are even many air leakage gaps on the roof and walls.The wind on the prairie was still quite strong, and the air flow passed through the gaps in the wall, making an angry 'woo woo' howl, which sounded quite penetrating.
Except for some bone ornaments and animal skins, there are no other decorations inside the hall.A few thick logs stood, supporting the dome above. Some complicated patterns were carved on the logs, which seemed to be a scene of orcs hunting.
Sitting on the animal skins on the ground, Nerila clapped her hands, and soon, a few orcs came in from the outside carrying a few small wooden tables.
The orcs put the small wooden table in front of everyone, and then retreated immediately. In the end, only the shamans and the captains of the hunting team were left in the hall.
"It smells so good, what kind of meat is this?"
Hermione took a deep breath and looked in surprise at the large pot of barbecue placed on the wooden table.She didn't expect that these five big and three rough orcs could make food with such an attractive aroma.She thought these guys were eating raw meat.
"Hehehe, this is the meat of the Tam antelope. Although the Tam antelope is a herbivore, when winter comes every year, due to the withering of the vegetation, these antelopes often hunt some small animals when food is insufficient. Allay your hunger.
Compared with other herbivores, the tam antelope has a much more ferocious temperament. In addition, they live in groups and are more difficult to hunt than many ferocious carnivores.Corresponding to the difficulty of hunting, the meat quality of Tam antelope is also very delicious, which can be called a gift of the prairie. "
After finishing speaking, Nerila crossed her hands in front of her chest, lowered her head slightly, and muttered a prayer.
After the great shaman Nerela took the lead, the rest of the orcs in the hall also made the same movements, praying devoutly.For a moment, this orc hall, which was rough to the point of leakage, had an inexplicable sense of sacredness.
Seeing this, even though they were very curious about the taste of the Tam antelope, Bell and the others couldn't eat it before the owner's house, so they all lowered their heads slightly and waited silently for the orcs to complete the prayer ceremony.
"Sorry for keeping the guests waiting for so long. It is the tradition of our orcs to pray before eating and to thank the ancestors for their guidance and the gift of the prairie."
After praying for about 5 minutes, Nerila raised her head. Seeing Bell and the others lowered their heads as if they were about to fall asleep, the old orc had an apologetic smile on his face.
"No, no, this is a very good tradition. In fact, on our planet, many countries have similar traditions."
Hermione said hurriedly.
In fact, Hermione's family also prayed before meals when she was young.Until she received the admission letter from Hogwarts and learned that she turned out to be a legendary wizard, then her family's three views were reshaped, and the prayers before meals gradually stopped.
"Thank you for your understanding. Well, everyone, please start enjoying the food, otherwise the meat will be cold after a while, and it will not taste good."
With that said, Nerila took the lead in picking up a piece of barbecue and put it into her mouth, chewed it slowly, and signaled Bell and others to eat with a smile.
The host started, and Bell didn't need to be polite anymore.He didn't care whether the roast meat was poisonous or not, he grabbed a large piece of meat with his bare hands, stuffed it into his mouth, and started to chew quickly.
After Bell nodded, Shanna and the others no longer had any worries, and enjoyed the pure orc-style barbecue with peace of mind.
Nerella glanced at Bell thoughtfully, then turned her head to look at Hermione again, and asked:
"Miss Hermione, you mentioned the words 'Earth' and 'Country' in your speech just now. I don't know, what do these two words mean? Can you explain to us?"
For the orcs who are still in the primitive tribal society, there is no concept of the so-called country at all.As for the planet or something, it is beyond the understanding of the orcs.
"Uh……"
Facing the unexpected question from the old orc, Hermione suddenly froze.
Earth and country, these are simple words that even human children know, but because they are too simple, Hermione didn't know how to explain them for a while.
"If it's inconvenient, then forget it."
Nerella said.
"No, no, I just don't know how to explain it better for a while.
'Earth' is the name of our planet.Just like your name is Nerella and mine is Hermione, except Earth is the name of the planet.
The 'country' is composed of many human beings, you can understand it as a very, very large tribe. "
Hermione explained.
"So, 'planet', what is it?"
Nerila barely understood the concept of 'country'.When the scale of the tribe expands to a very large level, in order to reflect the strength and uniqueness of the tribe, it is reasonable to change the name or something.
In fact, after being reminded by Hermione, Nerila decided that when the number of tribe members in his own family increased, he would also change the name of the tribe, for example: 'August Kingdom' or something.It's exciting to think about.
But he still couldn't understand what the 'Earth' was. 'Earth' is the name of 'planet'?So what is 'planet'?
At this moment, Nerila looked at Hermione full of curiosity.The old shaman felt that the other party was worthy of being a traveler whose ancestors could give him special warnings, and that he indeed possessed a lot of knowledge that even the ancestors did not know.
Even though she didn't want the other party to bring about unknown changes to her tribe, before sending the other party away, Nerila still wanted to obtain as much knowledge as possible from the other party.
"The so-called 'planet' refers to the land under our feet."
Hermione explained patiently again.
"You mean, the land under our feet is called 'Earth'? But this land is flat, why is it called a ball?"
Nerela was not too happy with the name 'Earth'.He felt that the person who named him must have abnormal eyes, seeing everything as round, so he came up with such an unreasonable name.
Anyway, it should be called 'horizon'.
