The prince of heaven only wants salted fish
Chapter 197: Primitive Orc Sacrifice (20)
"Ji, you will be the new high priest from now on."
When he said this, Lin breathed a long sigh of relief.
Yes, this is what he has been thinking about and hesitating for the past six months.
Lin saw clearly that as a high priest, he actually had no ability to lead Aludulu and the Bilim tribe to fight against each other. But if he was asked to give up the position of high priest just like that, Ling also felt reluctant to give up:
Not only is he reluctant to part with the prestige and power he has in the tribe as the high priest, but if he does this, wouldn't he be admitting defeat to Ji?
This guy is so annoying! !
But now that the ultimatum from the Bilim tribe has arrived, Lin has to admit that perhaps giving way to Ji is the best way.
Even if he dislikes this brat very much.
However, when these words were spoken, Lin felt as if he had finally let go of a huge stone in his heart, and instead felt relaxed as if the dust had settled.
But he was relaxed, while Jicheng and the other orcs in the Aludulu tribe all had expressions of extreme shock.
The question mark on Ji Cheng's face was even stronger than before: "???What did you say?"
The other orcs were even more shocked and speechless.
It was rare to see a kid like Ji being so shocked that he could hardly speak. Lin Lin suddenly felt a little relieved, and then imitating Ji Cheng's usual demeanor, he pretended to be calm and asked, "Didn't you say before? , are you the spokesperson of the Beast God?”
"Then wouldn't it be reasonable for you to be the high priest?"
Jicheng: "..."
But he was careless at the time, and now he has been defeated by an army.
But soon Ji Cheng said: "Then why didn't you give up the position of high priest to me at that time? Are you going to announce it now?"
scale:"……"
For a moment, various emotions flashed across his face, such as embarrassment, doubt, confusion, anger, and anger. Finally, he frowned and said, "Well, don't I also have to investigate? Anyone can come and say that he is the spokesperson of the beast god, the high priest." Do you have to believe it?”
"Furthermore," Lin instantly found another reason, "and you were not an adult before. If I put the responsibility for the development of the Aludulu tribe on your shoulders so quickly, wouldn't that be exploiting child labor?!"
Jicheng said meaningfully: "But strictly speaking, I won't be an adult until next spring."
Lin's face flushed: "...Special times and special circumstances!!"
As if afraid that Jicheng would still shirk, Lin quickly added: "Anyway, my position as high priest will be handed over to you from now on. You must remember the responsibilities of high priest and lead our Aludulu tribe to flourish!"
After a pause, Lin finally said something sincere: "I am old, and I can't think of any way to fight against the Bilim tribe. You are the most flexible brain among the entire Aludulu tribe. If anyone If you can lead the tribe to survive, I think you are the only one.”
Hearing this, the other orcs who were still in shock were the first to calm down a bit.
They originally found it unbelievable that Lin would give up the throne so hastily: the high priests of the Aludulu tribe basically decided on their successors when they were about to die of old age. Although Lin was not too young, he was still far from young. To the point where he is about to die of old age - you must know that before this, Lindu has not shown any intention to train the next high priest!
But...thinking about it carefully, what Lin said does make sense.
Although Ji did not receive any training to become a high priest, his intelligence has long been recognized by the entire Aludulu tribe.
During the previous severe drought season, it was Ji who led everyone to find water sources and dug out blocked river channels. It was also Ji who taught everyone how to make fires, use traps and weapons when hunting, and also invented the kang that Ji invented, allowing everyone to spend a wonderful time. Very warm winter.
When the volcano erupted later, it was Ji's persistence that saved all of their lives.
In the eyes of the residents of Aludulu, Ji's intelligence is a bit beyond what an orc should be.
From this point of view, letting Ji inherit the position of high priest seems to be a very correct and wise choice?
Following this train of thought, the orcs looked at Jicheng and instantly became accepting and even eager: What the high priest said makes sense! Besides Ji, who else might lead them out of this predicament?
Jicheng actually didn't expect Lin to say such words. He raised his eyebrows, and his tone did not hide his appreciation for Lin's "heartfelt words" just now: "You said that I have the most flexible brain. If so, I still very much agree.”
"If you insist on me taking over the position of high priest, I won't be able to agree."
Lin's face turned a little green, and he couldn't tell whether it was because he was cold or because he was angry at Jicheng's mean words.
"However," Jicheng spread his hands, "If we fight with the Birim tribe, I can't think of any way."
The orcs of Aludulu were stunned upon hearing this, and then looked towards Jicheng anxiously.
Lin Ye was a little stunned and said: "There is no way? What do you mean?"
Jicheng looked at Lin with a look that looked like an idiot: "Even I can't think of any way to let the Aludulu tribe defeat the Birim tribe, which has three times the number of us."
In primitive times, population is the best way to calculate combat power. Moreover, this is an orc society. If a fight really breaks out, everyone will transform into an animal form, and even crude weapons cannot be used to limit them. As for those with high lethality? With the production level of primitive orcs, it is not even worth thinking about.
Moreover, Ji Cheng's body cannot be cultivated, and the idea of fighting one against a hundred with spiritual power is unrealistic.
So what Ji Cheng just said is indeed the truth: if a fight really breaks out, he has no absolute confidence in letting the Aludulu tribe win.
After hearing this, the residents of Aludulu couldn't help showing a look of disappointment, and Lin also stood there in a daze, as if he didn't expect that after he placed all his hopes on making a decision, he would get such an answer.
"Do we have no choice but to run away..."
"Of course," Ji Cheng suddenly changed the subject cunningly, "If it's just to make the Birim tribe give up the idea, I should still be able to try."
Orcs: "..."
Lin: "..."
"High priest, why are you rolling up your sleeves?"
"High priest, impulsiveness is the devil, high priest!!"
——
Time flies and it's the day of the "agreement" between the Birim tribe and Aludulu.
In order to show the formality of this "alliance", the Birim tribe also specially set up a place for negotiation, located in the middle of the two tribes, which seems to be quite interesting.
The orcs of the Birim tribe are well prepared for the annexation of the Aludulu tribe, and they arrived at the venue early. Even the old high priest Ya came out with him, riding a young and strong orc as a mount, sitting quietly on it and waiting.

They waited for a long time, until a little sunlight leaked down from their heads - when there were always thick clouds in the sky, this meant that the sun was at its strongest in the day - and then the orcs of the Aludulu tribe finally arrived.
What shocked the Birim orcs was that the leader of the Aludulu team was not the high priest Lin they thought, but another young man who was too young - perhaps it would be more appropriate to call him a teenager.
The Birim tribe had dealt with Aludulu many times in the past six months, so many of them had recognized the other party's identity: a teenager named Ji. According to the orcs of the Aludulu tribe, he was still an ordinary teenager who had lost his parents and had no beast form.
In the Birim tribe, this situation can be simply called disability.
And now, in the team sent by the Aludulu tribe, such a disabled orc teenager was actually the leader? !
Mi, who was standing next to Ya like a guard, immediately stood up angrily: "Where is your Scale Priest?"
He pointed at Ji Cheng and said: "Sending such a young man as the leader, is this the attitude of your Aludulu tribe?"
"Or are you insulting Lord Ya?!"
The orcs of Aludulu were stunned at first, and after listening to Mi's accusation, Hua scratched his head: "Ah, no?"
He pointed at Ji Cheng and said: "Scale Priest has retired, Ji is our current high priest."
Birim tribe: "???"
Mi was also a little shocked after hearing this: "...your Scale Priest is dead?"
In the concept of the orcs of the Birim tribe, only when the previous high priest dies will the next high priest inherit the position of the predecessor. They don't understand what "retirement" means. When they heard that Ji Cheng was the new high priest, they subconsciously thought that Scale was dead.
Lin followed because he was worried about Ji Cheng's response: "?"
He was of average height and was standing in the back row of the Aludulu tribe. He was blocked by the taller orcs in the front row. At first glance, he was indeed not very conspicuous - but this was not a reason for the young people on the opposite side to say that he was dead, right? !
The hot-tempered former high priest Lin immediately popped his head and glared at Mi: "Who did you say was dead, brat?!"
Mi and other orcs from the Birim tribe were so scared that they almost stumbled.
Lin continued unhappily: "The tradition of our Aludulu tribe is that the competent one gets the job. I am optimistic about Ji, and the beast god likes him very much, so I passed the position of high priest to Ji in advance. Is there any problem?"
Mi was still a little dazed, and the status of other orcs in the Birim tribe was not enough to speak up at this time, so in the end, Ya, who was sitting on a lion-shaped orc who had transformed into an animal, spoke up: "Of course, our Birim tribe will respect the traditions of other tribes."
She was too old, so she spoke very slowly when she spoke - especially on the four words "other tribes".
But Jicheng and Lin obviously didn't care about Ya's little trick when she spoke, and the latter immediately said with a stern face: "In that case, shouldn't you say hello to our new high priest of Aludulu?"
Mi and other orcs: "..."
In the end, they reluctantly greeted Jicheng as the high priest.
Jicheng also smiled and accepted everyone: "Hello everyone."
Orcs of the Birim tribe: "..."It's just aggrieved to ask.
The two sides had spent quite a while arguing, and it was obvious that the High Priest Ya of Birim was getting impatient. She tapped her branch cane and said calmly, "Priest Ji, we've already said hello, so let's talk business." Ya asked, "What do you think about our two tribes living together?"
Ji Cheng smiled and said: "Of course we have carefully considered this matter."
"To be honest, everyone in our Aludulu tribe thinks that your Birim tribe's proposal is very tempting, and we also want to agree to it."
Speaking of this, Ji Cheng suddenly showed a distressed look: "But the night before last, the Lord Beast God appeared in my dream and told me not to agree to this matter."
