Chapter 621 You Guys Leave First, We Have A Sacrifice (2/2)

“Ch---chief, what should we do?” a warrior who followed Abuli to attend this feast looked at him with a saddened expression, “There’s still so much meat. What can we do?”

They could see it, but they couldn’t finish it.

This used to be something that had made them smile even in their dreams, but now, although their dreams had come true, they felt a sudden sense of helplessness. There was still so much meat, but they couldn’t finish it. If they were to leave it here, what a waste it would be. Just looking at the unfinished food made their hearts ache.

“Can’t we take these leftovers away?” someone asked.

Abuli also wanted to bring the leftovers back, but this was the Flaming Horn’s territory. They had to follow the Flaming Horn’s instructions. A small tribe like them did not have much say under these situations.

“Why not go ask them about it later?” Abuli’s wife suggested.

“Ah? Oh, alright.” Abuli felt weak and didn’t have much confidence, but seeing the plate of meat in front of him, he decided that he would give it a shot! If the Flaming Horn tribe did not agree, he would try his best to negotiate with them.

It was not until later when they noticed that there was still plenty of meat leftover on all the plates in front of all twenty-four tribes. At this moment, a few people from the Flaming Horn tribe glanced over at Gui He and nodded.

“Fellow friends!” Gui He addressed them with a loud and clear voice, “The Flaming River Grand Feast is about to approach its end, how is everyone feeling so far?”

“Great! Amazing!”

“Very nice.”

The people from the Hui tribe and Lu tribe loudly replied. Other people continued to praise the banquet from their seats, and even the Longboat tribe and the Tianshan tribe who disliked the Flaming Horn tribe had to admit that this “showing-off” feast was very well done.

Besides the amount of leftover food, other things also surprised them, like the golden wine cup, for instance. There was one placed in the seating area of each tribe. This was a sign of great wealth.

“Since it is so, before the end of our feast, I, Gui He, as the chief of the Flaming Horn tribe, would like to inform everyone here that the Flaming River Trading Point will officially open up from today on! Elder Zheng Luo will be in charge of reading out the rules of trade in the trading point.” Gui He raised his hand and gestured at Zheng Luo to speak.

Zheng Luo had already prepared a beast hide scroll. After unrolling it, he read out the words written on it.

The things listed on the scroll were all rules in the Flaming River Trading Point, and many of these rules were borrowed from the ones the slave masters used in their cities. Shao Xuan had already pointed out some of the rules’ shortcomings and made some changes to it. After improving it, they came up with the first edition of the Rules and Regulations in the Flaming River Trading Point. If they had new rules to add to the list or some they needed to amend, they would then come up with a new edition.

All in all, besides the rules regarding the set trading locations for each tribe, the rental fees of their houses, and the ones about the storage of goods, the most important point was that there should be no robbery or stealing in the Flaming River Trading Point.

When they reached this point, the tribes that lived in the Flaming River region felt suddenly at peace.

What were they most afraid of during a trade? The other party tricking them and using means of extortion!

But if the Flaming Horn tribe, such a powerful tribe, was here to protect them and enforce these rules, it would make trading a lot safer.

After Zheng Luo read out and explained the rules on the beast hide scroll in detail, he also ordered warriors to give a copy of the same rules to the chief of each tribe. There was still more details on the written document, so if they still weren’t clear about it, they could ask the person in charge of the Flaming River Trading Point.

After they finished discussing the trading point, they had accomplished their main purpose, and since this matter had already been clarified, this feast should be ending soon.

But right when everyone thought that the grand feast was about to end, the people of the Flaming Horn tribe said another two things.

First, every tribe was allowed to take away the unfinished food from the Flaming River Castle and let those who didn’t get the chance to join them also enjoy the same food. Of course, if they didn’t want to, the Flaming Horns would not force them.

This made Abuli and his people so excited that they almost jumped up. We can pack it all up! It won’t be wasted! Even if they couldn’t finish these today, they could continue to eat tomorrow! They would finish all the food before leaving the trading point. They were so relieved to hear this!

This did not surprise many people who were present, because the tribes that had also hosted “showing-off” feasts before had also said similar things. So they weren’t at all surprised when they heard this first point.

As for the second point, many people were confused and had doubts.

After addressing the problem about the leftover food, Gui He continued with the second point, “This marks the end of the Flaming River Grand Feast. All of you may choose to leave first. If you have matters to discuss with us, please wait in the resting area because we still need to hold a sacrifice. Of course, if you’d like to stay and watch, you may also do so, but I don’t recommend it.”

Just because the people of the Flaming Horn tribe said it like this, it made the others even more curious.

Sacrifice?

Here?

When they heard this, everyone in the crowd stretched their necks and looked around the area.

They didn’t see a fire pond! They had already been here for an entire day, but they saw no fire pond.
