Hogwarts Wizarding Journey
Chapter 912 This is clearly flat, how can it be called a ball?
Under Nerila's guidance, Bell and his party quickly walked into a wooden and stone hall located in the center of the tribe.
Due to the lack of trees and boulders on the grassland, although the distant forests have a large number of trees, they are too dangerous for the orcs who have adapted to grassland life. Therefore, there are very few buildings made of trees and stones in the Ogu tribe, and most of them are made of soil.
It is built with thatch and animal skins.
The overall shape of the main hall is very rough, and there are even many air leakage gaps on the roof and walls. The wind on the grassland is still quite strong, and the airflow passes through the gaps in the wall, making a roar of "Woo-Woo", which sounds...
It's quite eye-catching.
Except for some bone ornaments and animal skins, there are no other decorations inside the hall. Several thick logs stand, supporting the dome above. There are some complex patterns carved on the logs, which seem to be hunted by orcs.
scene.
Sitting on the animal skins spread on the ground, Nerela clapped her hands, and soon, several orcs came in from the outside carrying several small wooden tables.
The orcs placed the small wooden table in front of everyone, and then immediately retreated. In the end, only the shamans and the hunting team captains were left in the hall.
"It smells so good. What kind of meat is this?"
Hermione took a deep breath and looked in surprise at the large pot of barbecue placed on the wooden table. She didn't expect that these big and thick orcs could actually make food with such an attractive aroma. She thought these guys were
Those who eat raw meat.
"Hehehe, this is the meat of the Tamu antelope. Although the Tamu antelope is a herbivore, when winter comes every year, due to the withering of the vegetation, these antelopes often hunt small animals when food is insufficient.
Satisfy hunger.
Compared with other herbivores, the temperament of Tamu antelope is much more ferocious. In addition, they live in groups, and the difficulty of hunting is even more difficult than that of many ferocious carnivores. Corresponding to the difficulty of hunting, Tamu antelope has a much more ferocious temperament.
The meat of the antelope is also very delicious, and it can be called a gift of the prairie.”
After speaking, Nerela crossed her hands on her chest, lowered her head slightly, and muttered a prayer.
After the Great Shaman of Nerela took the lead, the other orcs in the hall also made the same move and prayed devoutly. For a time, this rough orc hall that was leaking had an inexplicable feeling.
A sense of sacredness.
Seeing this, even though they were very curious about the taste of this Tamu antelope, Bell and others couldn't start eating before the host, so they all lowered their heads slightly and waited silently for the orcs to complete the prayer ceremony.
"Sorry to keep our guests waiting for so long. It is our orc tradition to pray before eating and thank our ancestors for their guidance and the gifts of the prairie."
After praying for about 5 minutes, Nerela raised her head and saw Bell and others with their heads lowered as if they were about to fall asleep. The old orc showed an apologetic smile on his face.
"No, no, this is a very good tradition. In fact, there are many countries on our planet that have similar traditions."
Hermione said hurriedly.
In fact, Hermione's family also prayed before meals when she was young. It wasn't until she received the admission notice from Hogwarts and learned that she was actually a legendary wizard, and then her family's
All three outlooks were reshaped, and the prayers before meals gradually ceased.
"Thank you for your understanding. Okay, everyone, please start enjoying the food, otherwise the meat will get cold and it won't taste good."
With that said, Nerela took the lead in picking up a piece of barbecue and put it into her mouth, chewed it slowly, and smiled as she motioned for Bell and others to eat.
The host was in action, so Bell no longer needed to be polite. He didn't care if the barbecue was poisonous, so he grabbed a large piece of meat with his bare hands, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it quickly.
After Bell nodded, Shanna and the others no longer had any worries and could enjoy the pure orc-style barbecue with peace of mind.
Nerela glanced at Bell thoughtfully, then turned to look at Hermione again, and asked:
"Miss Hermione, you mentioned the words 'Earth' and 'Country' in your words just now. I wonder what these two words mean? Can you explain them to us?"
For the orcs who are still in a primitive tribal society, there is no concept of a country at all. As for the planet, it is beyond the orcs' understanding.
"Well……"
Faced with the old orc's unexpected question, Hermione was suddenly stunned.
Earth and country are simple words that even human children know, but precisely because they are so simple, Hermione didn't know how to explain them for a moment.
"If it's inconvenient, forget it."
Nerela said.
"No, no, I just don't know how to explain it better.
‘Earth’ is the name of the planet we are on. It’s just like your name is Nerela and my name is Hermione, except that Earth is the name of the planet.
And a 'country' is made up of many human beings, and you can think of it as a very, very large tribe."
Hermione explained.
"So, what is a 'planet'?"
Nerela barely understood the concept of 'country'. When the size of the tribe expanded to a very large level, in order to reflect the strength and distinctiveness of the tribe, it was reasonable to change its name or something.
In fact, after being reminded by Hermione, Nerela decided that when the number of people in his tribe increased, he would also change the name of the tribe, such as: 'Ogu Kingdom' or something. Really
It's exciting just thinking about it.
But he still couldn't understand what 'Earth' was. 'Earth' is the name of 'Planet'? So what is 'Planet'?
At this moment, Nerela looked at Hermione with eyes full of curiosity. The old shaman felt that the other party was indeed a traveler who could let the ancestors give him special warnings, and he did have many things that even the ancestors didn't know about.
knowledge.
Even though she did not want the other party to bring unknown changes to her tribe, Nerela still wanted to obtain as much knowledge as possible from the other party before sending him away.
"The so-called 'planet' refers to the land beneath our feet."
Hermione explained patiently again.
"You mean, the land under our feet is called 'Earth'? But this land is flat, why is it called a ball?"
Nerela was not satisfied with the name "Earth". He felt that the person who named it must have abnormal eyes and everything seemed round, so he came up with such an unreasonable name.
After all, it should be called ‘flat earth’.
