Chapter 737 Sacrifice

As the eldest child of the Yae family of this generation, Yae Ri has naturally experienced several sacrificial rituals, and due to his status, he has to get very close every time. He stands next to the sacrificial platform and has a clear view of what is in front of him. The desperate look in the kneeling girl's eyes.

At first he frowned and didn't feel comfortable with it, but after experiencing it many times, he began to observe.

It's not that he has become indifferent, but he is trying to find out the mystery. He doesn't believe that the cause of the rain is related to the girl who was given to the Fox God. There must be other factors.

As long as we find out the key, maybe we won't have to kill people to pray for rain in the future?

"Haha... Master Li, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still very charming..."

In the side hall, the old woman's smile brought wrinkles to her face.

With the Yae God Lord present, Yae Ri could only give a perfunctory smile, "Grandma, you too, you seem to be in good spirits."

"..."

The Eightfold Divine Master remained silent, with no intention of greeting his son.

Yaeli didn't say much to the old woman, but looked at Lord Yae: "Father, I have to go out tomorrow."

"……How far?"

The Eightfold God Lord asked indifferently.

"Go to town."

"There are monsters on the road."

"I'm not afraid."

"Then go ahead."

"I would like to borrow a spiritual sword."

"..."

Hearing this question, the Eightfold God Master frowned, but quickly relaxed, "Going to the city with the spiritual sword?"

"no?"

Yaeli raised his eyebrows. The conversation between the two was concise and concise, but it also lacked the emotion that a father and son should have.

Ever since Lord Yae's attitude towards the three siblings had drastically changed after his wife's death, Yae Ri had no intention of giving him a good look.

"The spiritual sword cannot stay away from the village, otherwise..."

"Otherwise the Fox God will be angry?"

Yae Li sneered in his heart, and helped Yae God Lord to add, "I will try to communicate with the Fox God tonight. If he agrees, it should be no problem, right?"

With his current physical condition, it is not a problem to kneel in the main hall all night, and he can even fall asleep sitting on his knees. Anyway, when someone is trying to communicate with the Fox God, even the Eighth Level God Lord is not qualified to peek.

"...As you say."

Lord Yae God waved his hand and agreed to Yae Li's request.

Yae Li thanked him and left the side hall, not caring about what the old woman and the Yae God Lord were gathering here to discuss. After all, they had already guessed it.

After closing the door to the side hall, Yae Li's face turned gloomy.

If it goes as he expected, the next sacrifice should be coming soon, right?

Yaeli looked up at the cloudless sky. The hot sunshine made the village miserable, and even his lips were a little dry and cracked.

At the same time, in the side hall, the footsteps of Yae Li leaving were heard, and the old woman continued to talk to the Lord Yae Ri.

"Lord God, Lord Li, it is against the rules for him to borrow the spiritual sword like this..."

"It's not up to us to decide whether it's in compliance with the rules or not. It's up to the Lord Fox God."

Listening to the words of the patriarch of another large clan in Yae Village, the Lord Yae said coldly.

"Only he knows the result of the communication between Master Keli and Master Fox God..."

"You think he would lie about something like this?"

"Haha, old lady, how dare I..."

The old woman didn't say much in this regard, but got down to business: "Lord God, the next sacrifice is scheduled for ten days from now. What do you think? If it continues to be delayed, the people in the village may not be able to bear it..."

"..."

The Eightfold God Lord lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, "Has the candidate been selected?"

"Haha, of course, she is the daughter of the Emon family. Her parents were very happy when they learned that their daughter was lucky enough to serve the Fox God..."

"Then let's make it this way. The sacrifice will be held in ten days."

"Ten days is enough time for Mr. Li to travel to and from the city, right?"

……

After leaving the side hall, Yaeli did not go directly to the main hall to kneel down. Instead, he left the shrine and walked towards ordinary people's homes in the village.

I'm a little hungry, so I can communicate with the Fox God and go there at seven or eight o'clock. Or if I'm a few minutes late, I think the Fox God won't mind.

Yae Li walked leisurely on the village road, looking left and right, and finally stopped in front of a store.

The rice balls made by this family are very good, at least they are in line with Yae Ri's taste.

Although Yae Sakura can also make onigiri...but it's too big.

Every time he watched his sister enthusiastically hold a head-sized rice ball in front of her, Yaeli felt her stomach twitch.

Dong Dong Dong————!

Yaeli knocked on the door, and footsteps soon came from inside.

"Who... ah, is it Ri-sama? Do you want to buy rice balls again today?" After the door opened, the face of a middle-aged woman was revealed. Yae Ri frowned imperceptibly, and then relaxed.

"Yeah... come two, I have something to do later."

"Master Li, please wait a moment, you'll be ready soon!"

The middle-aged woman ran back happily, and Yaeli followed after thinking for a moment. She looked around in other people's homes, and finally her eyes were fixed on a certain closed door, and she vaguely heard soft sobs coming from inside.

The sound of sobbing was very familiar. It was made by a girl that Yaeli would meet every time he came here. She was the daughter of this family. Every time Yaeli came here before, it was this child who opened the door for him, but for some reason I was locked in the house today.

"Master Li, the rice balls you asked for."

The middle-aged woman walked out of the back room, and Yaeli realized at this moment that the woman had a heartfelt smile on her face, and she was not simply happy for his arrival.

It was an odd contrast to the sobs in the room.

"Thank you."

Yaeli took out a few coins from his body, and despite the other party's constant refusal, he forcefully handed them into her hand, and then left the room.

For some reason, he suddenly stopped feeling hungry and didn't even want to move the two rice balls in his hands.

Carrying two rice balls, Yaeli came to another house of a blacksmith, and the sound of ping-ping-pong-pong could be heard from inside.

Without closing the door, Yaeli opened the top curtain and walked in. Suddenly, a wave of heat hit his face.

Inside is a man who is blacksmithing, with his upper body full of muscles exposed, and his clothes tied around his waist. He is holding a hammer and is beating the red-hot iron in a certain rhythm.

When he felt a guest coming in, he didn't want to pay attention to it because he was busy.

It was only after catching a glimpse of that pink color that the blacksmith was excited and discovered that the next generation of the Eightfold God had arrived.

He quickly stopped what he was doing and ran over to say hello with a silly smile.
