Wizard Eric’s stern voice silenced everyone present, and the entire room fell into a profound silence, as if time itself had stopped.
Patriarch Rodney, witnessing Wizard Eric’s unusual agitation for the first time, asked in shock, “Sorcerer, what is wrong?!”
With a respectful attitude towards Wizard Eric, Patriarch Rodney waited, but Wizard Eric did not respond to his question. Instead, he slowly stood up and walked directly to Quentin.
“Young man, where did you get that wolf pelt?” Wizard Eric asked solemnly.
“I obtained it after slaughtering a pack of wolves before entering the Miao Family village,” Quentin replied calmly. Everyone present was stunned. These two outsiders had actually slaughtered a ferocious pack of wolves?
“Hey kid, you should know when to brag! Just the two of you could kill an entire wolf pack?!” Ahmed sneered disdainfully.
“Ahmed, shut up!” Wizard Eric shouted angrily, his expression cold, scaring Ahmed into silence.
“Young man, was the leading Wolf King a black wolf with a scar over one eye?” Ahmed continued to ask.
“Of course, I killed it myself. The pelt I wear is its fur,” Quentin said indifferently. The crowd was even more shocked. This outsider had actually killed the Black Wolf King and skinned it?
It was well known that the Black Wolf King was the most ferocious wild wolf in the entire Miao Territory. It had attacked many Miao Village people and led its pack to slaughter their cattle and horses on the plains multiple times.
Even though Miao Village had organized many young men to hunt the wolf pack, the Black Wolf King was too fierce, and they always returned defeated.
Now, this wolf pack led by the Black Wolf King had been easily slaughtered by these two outsiders. It was unbelievable and a direct slap in the face for Miao Village.
“Remarkable! To think that two people could kill an entire wolf pack and slay the Black Wolf King.”
“It seems our White Miao Village has hope in this Flower Mountain Festival Big Game! Heaven bless us!” Wizard Eric said excitedly, looking at Quentin and Eileen with anticipation.
He quickly regained his usual cold and solemn demeanor, stood up, and said, “Alright, let’s go back.”
Patriarch Rodney was puzzled and followed Wizard Eric, asking, “Eric, are we just going to let those two outsiders go?”
“How dare you! Do you know what it means for them to be able to kill an entire wolf pack?”
“Those two are not someone our Miao Territory can afford to offend. We can only befriend them.”
“This time, our White Miao Village has encountered benefactors!” Wizard Eric said angrily. Patriarch Rodney nodded obediently, not daring to disobey.
After all, Eric was a powerful figure who understood the mysteries of heaven and earth and was revered by the people.
“Henry, come here.”
Patriarch Rodney called out, signaling Henry to come over.
“Patriarch, what are your orders?” Henry asked respectfully as he approached.
“Make sure to serve those two outsiders well. Tomorrow at the Flower Mountain Festival, you must bring them along. Do you understand?” Patriarch Rodney said with authority.
Henry bowed and nodded. The family saw off Patriarch Rodney and the others.
The tribe members made their way, standing on both sides of the alley to bid farewell to their leader.
The most frustrated was Elder Ahmed. He had failed twice to capture them and had been scolded by the Sorcerer.
What angered him most was that Quentin and Eileen were now being hailed as Wolf Slayer Heroes by the tribe!
After the leader and others left, the tribe members did not disperse but gathered outside Cerys’s house again.
“Tribe members, it’s late. Why haven’t you returned home? What business do you have here?” Henry’s family came out, with Quentin and Eileen behind them.
The tribe members suddenly bowed respectfully to Quentin and Eileen, saying in unison, “Welcome Wolf Slayer Heroes to White Miao Village!”
Quentin and Eileen remained calm and composed, not showing much surprise.
Cerys’s family was happy for them because the tribe members were finally beginning to accept these two outsiders.
The next day. On Flower Sea Mountain in Miao Territory, cliffs and waterfalls formed a river that nurtured every Miao Village tribe member.
The mountaintop was a sea of flowers in full bloom, breathtakingly beautiful.
On a vast grassland at the peak stood Flower Sea Temple. Devout believers from Miao Territory came to burn incense and worship the gods they revered.
People from all seven divisions of Miao Territory-black, white, red, yellow, purple, green, and blue-gathered on Flower Sea Mountain.
Everyone was filled with joy, especially young men and women who dressed up beautifully to showcase their skills and seek romance.
The Miao Flower Mountain Festival had arrived!
