Chapter 440: Beyond the Festival, the Impact of the Scam
Putting aside the minor incident on the first day, the Glory Festival continued in an orderly manner as in previous years.
The contestants fought and died with the beasts, and the smell of blood began to spread throughout the venue.
However, this time's Glory Festival was indeed a little different - besides the smell of blood, there were also rumors.
The battle is not endless, and not every player will start fighting as soon as they meet.
As long as you start "chatting", "greeting" or "exchanging information", you can't avoid what happened on the first day of this Glory Festival.
"Have you heard? A Rakshasa has sneaked into this festival."
"Is it reliable?"
"The news came from the healing center. More than a dozen people said something like this happened. It couldn't be a conspiracy!"
The conversations continued over and over again.
Naturally, these repeated conversations are not limited to the Glory Festival.
No matter how barbaric this world is, no matter how belligerent and upright the races of the Blood Nation are, their leaders would not be so foolish as to completely ignore an emergency that is widely spread and sounds very serious.
On a gentle slope outside the Glory Ceremony venue, ten large cushions were placed in a white animal skin tent.
There is plenty of wine and meat in front of each cushion.
In the middle of the tent was a huge skeleton with a lizard-like animal head, which made sounds from time to time.
"Contestant 139 from the Copper Mountain Tribe has died!"
"Fire Flow Tribe contestant, 275, died!"
"Individual contestant, 336, killed two Swift Wolf beasts!"
Flash messages came one after another, and the ten guys sitting on cushions, wrapped in animal skins and looking like important people, looked normal.
Three barbarians, six blood Luo...
There is also a half-demon!
There is no doubt that they are representatives from the ten major tribes of the Blood Country.
The organizers of each Glory Festival are the top ten tribes.
This festival is a good opportunity for ordinary tribal forces to improve their "status" and demonstrate the strength of their tribe.
But this is not the case for the ten major tribes.
For outsiders like players, there is actually something quite counterintuitive: in the Glory Festival, the top ten tribes do not always occupy the top ten spots.
It is even common that in a certain Glory Festival, the top three are all from medium-sized tribes or unknown small villages.
The reason is also very simple...
The reason why the top ten tribes are the top ten tribes is not because of the personal bravery of a certain warrior.
But... the whole tribe is very brave.
They don't need to send the bravest warriors of their generation to compete every year.
On the contrary, the ten major tribes will try to recruit the warriors who ultimately emerge victorious.
Every warrior who achieved a ranking would establish a very good relationship with one or two of the ten major tribes - along with the forces behind them.
This is also one of the most important manifestations of improved status.
Based on this, these ten major tribes naturally select three "notaries" every year, and will also let important figures from their tribes come to the vicinity of the Glory Festival as representatives.
Although this is not written in the rules and regulations, it has become so commonplace that it has almost become an important part of the Glory Ceremony.
This white tent is one of the best symbols of the Glory Festival.
These representatives came to the vicinity of the scene naturally in order to get first-hand information about the "Glory Festival" as soon as possible.
Usually they would find those who killed many people quickly among these text messages.
But this time...
What they care about most is no longer the contestants!
Among the crowd, the representative of the Bronze Casting Tribe, an extremely tall and strong Xue Luo, spoke to the animal bones.
"Hey, Jiang Rong, are there any new results regarding the Rakshasa?"
This question received an immediate response.
"no!"
"Everything is operating normally. There are rumors that Luosha and the 'Notary' clashed in the healing area... but Shuo did not report, nor did he die."
"I didn't go to the healing place to fight Luosha either, so I can infer that it must be a rumor and misinformation."
"After all, the notary responsible for external support, Feng Qiao, did not enter the venue."
A deep male voice responded from within the animal bones.
And the person who responded was naturally the real on-site "notary", Jiang Rong!
Hearing the answer from the notary from his own tribe, the representative of the Bronze Casting Tribe breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hasn't it appeared yet?"
Among the ten representatives, the only one who was neither a Xue Luo nor a barbarian, a half-demon who looked like some kind of birdman with a sharp beak and feathers covering his face, spoke.
"How strange! Is this Rakshasa real or fake? After all, the sudden appearance of an extinct race that hasn't been seen in ten thousand years, could this be some kind of mass hysteria?"
"After all, according to current rumors, the only thing they say is that the Rakshasa was disguised as a human... Perhaps a certain human contestant was too powerful, leading to a misunderstanding!"
The remaining nine tribal representatives all looked at it.
"Shanqing representative, you were invited back by the Shanqing leader to assist in the management of the tribe in recent years, so I'm afraid you don't know much about the Blood Kingdom," a Xue Luo representing the Yagu Tribe slowly spoke, explaining to this "outsider." "Although it's true that the Luosha disappeared for a thousand years, our Blood Kingdom, as the core territory of the Luosha clan, has preserved a wealth of records about them."
"All the intelligence that has come out so far is consistent with the 'real Rakshasa'."
"What's more... based on those fragmentary intelligence and messages, no matter who that Rakshasa fought in the healing area, he revealed some secrets that cannot be explained in our tribe's records!"
"For example... the origin of the Xueluo clan."
"According to what he said, when the Glory Festival was first held by Luosha, in addition to competing for rankings... one could also obtain the purification of 'Lusha Bloodline Power'!"
"Even if an outsider wins, they will be granted the power of Rakshasa's bloodline!"
"Also, according to a report from a Xue Luo at the peripheral registration office, he encountered a guy who called himself Rakshasa. He claimed that 'Rakshasa' requires transformation!"
"This so-called 'transformation' might be related to something like the concentration of 'blood'!"
When Xue Luo said this, the three barbarians didn't react, but the six Xue Luos all nodded.
They all thought of this when they heard the rumors that were being compiled.
Even though most of the Xue Luo leaders consciously ignored this point, they always thought about why they were recorded as close relatives of Rakshasas, but looked more like humans!
"I think... what this guy said can explain many of the doubts that our Xueluo clan has always had."
