I Keep Witches While Others Keep Dragons-350 Chapter 352
Four days passed quickly.
For the past four days, Andrew had nothing to do, so he tried to take off his equipment and began to meditate.
Because breaking through the consciousness barrier also required meditation, and the meditation with more than 1,000 magic power would be painful.
He had nothing to do anyway. To make preparations for breaking through the consciousness barrier, he should adapt it in advance.
But after four days of practice, Andrew had adapted it.
He couldn’t hold on for at least five minutes in the beginning, but now he could hold on for 20 minutes.
During this period, his pure magic power also increased by 2 points, which was a good harvest.
On the other hand.
Andrew was also concerned about the wounds of Kelly and Sarah.
Since the witches couldn’t be healed by magic, Lucy couldn’t help them either. Andrew could only rely on the healing function of the system to cure them.
It was a long process.
According to Lucy, they had an eternal body, so they were not died after being attacked by Golden King.
Although Lucy said that needs a month.
But now a week had passed, and they had no signs of recovering.
It was very likely that their recovery would take longer than expected.
In reality.
Jo had been depressed since she came to the Joe clan.
Normally, she wouldn’t go out, neither did she communicate with her family, nor did she go out to greet her family.
She just sat in the room and waited.
However, Signa was enthusiastic about the Joe clan.
During this period, Andrew and she hung around the Joe clan when they were free and gradually got familiar with the environment of the Joe clan’s house.
Finally, in the evening.
After dinner, the maid brought a message.
The opening ceremony of the God Shed Ceremony was about to be held. All the participants were invited to gather at the ancestral mausoleum in the center of the Joe mansion.
Put on all the equipment and dress properly.
Andrew and the other two left the room together.
The ancestors’ tombs were the places where the ancestors of the Joe clan were buried, located in the center of the Joe mansion.
Normally, no one was allowed to enter unless someone was buried or during the ceremony.
As soon as they arrived at the place.
There were already three or four hundred people gathered here.
Under the guidance of the guards, they registered their identities in order and entered the hall in turn.
“Hey, this way.”
As soon as they arrived, Newton keenly sensed the smell of Andrew and greeted him warmly.
Seeing this, the three brothers sneered.
“You finally show up? You haven’t gone out for four days. I thought you died in your room.” For some reason, Joe Sky was especially ferocious today.
Jo ignored him.
Seeing this, Andrew smiled and asked, “Does your face still hurt?”
Hearing this, the faces of Joe Sky immediately froze. 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮
“Just wait.” It took him a long time to say that.
Then the three of them entered the hall.
Met Newton.
When Newton came up, he asked, “Are you ready?”
“What?” Andrew asked.
Newton said, “Fighting. Aren’t you looking forward to it?”
Andrew took a deep breath and said helplessly, “Can you think of something else?
Isn’t it good to think about women like normal men?”
Newton laughed, “I’m gay. Have you forgotten? What’s more, as a mage, it’s normal for me to pursue my skills.
Only by continuously fighting and refining my skills to the limit could he become a powerful mage.”
“Whatever,” Andrew confirmed again that he couldn’t get along with him, so he ignored him.
The next Joe shook her head repeatedly as if she was expressing her helplessness for Newton in this silent way.
After registration, the five people entered the cemetery smoothly with the information signed.
There was a bamboo path in which red birds stood at an equal distance.
Everything was quite a Leizhou style.
After passing through the bamboo forest, it suddenly enlightened.
This was an open space of about thirty or forty acres.
At the end of the open space, there was a tomb house. The red candlelight lit up thousands of spiritual positions, and each spiritual position on it was the ancestors of the Joe clan.
The forked torches were arranged in an orderly fashion, and from time to time, cracking sounds of wood could be heard.
In front of the tomb, there were ten rows of seats in two rows, where the current heads of the Joe departments sat respectively.
The mahathera and the second elder sat upright on the throne with their backs to the tomb.
Ten rows of the bench were neatly arranged in front of the family.
There would be sixty people in each row.
When Andrew and the others arrived, almost half of the men were already there.
They found five seats nearby and sat down. Andrew and the others waited quietly for the beginning of the ceremony.
However, Newton was trembling with expectation and laughing wildly.
It could be seen that although he didn’t say anything, he was depressed for the past four days.
There were so many people.
Half an hour later, everyone arrived.
The seats were not enough, so those who were late had to stand aside.
There were about three or four hundred people from the Joe clan who participated in this ceremony. Most of them were the friends they made when they were outside.
Some of them were the leaders of the Magic Association.
Andrew even saw several senior and middle officials of the student union.
“Let’s begin our ceremony!”
Thump! Thump! Thump!
With two heartbeats, the God Shed Ceremony, which had been preparing for the whole five days, officially began.
The ten clan leaders stood up, put on masks, took out seven swords, bowed to all the participants under the kagura of the maid beside, and began to God dance.
“This is…” Andrew frowned and found something strange.
The God dance was a special dance used to please gods and recall their ancestors in the tradition of Leizhou.
But Andrew found that there seemed to be something hidden in the dance.
The steps and sword intent seemed to be born for battle.
“Remember these swords man ships. I think I have seen them before. They might be useful.”
“Ah, I know.”
Andrew stared at the ten people intently and engraved every move in his mind.
Somehow, Andrew felt that this kagura was very suitable to be used with the virid water sword he had just obtained.
If it weren’t for the inappropriate occasion, Andrew even wanted to take it out and have a try like them.
About twenty minutes later, it finally came to an end.
The host bowed to the guests and clansmen and returned to their seats.
Joe Tianyuan stood up at the same time.
“Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I on behalf of the Joe clan, welcome you to participate.
The God Shed Ceremony is the most important memorial to our Joe clan every year.
On this day, we not only have to use kagura to remember our ancestors.
What’s more, we need young people to fight and show our strength and the bright future of our Joe clan.
Now I declare that the 171st God Shed Ceremony of the Joe clan officially begins.”
Chapter 353 Family Tribute
The first project was a tribute.
In short, the youngest generation had to offer their best harvest in the past year to the oldest generation of the race.
That was to give them to the mahathera and the second elders.
“What’s wrong?” Andrew noticed that Jo didn’t look well.
Pursing her lips, Jo said, “I’m wondering if the thing we prepared is a little shabby.”
Andrew took a look at the double-head wolf shank in his hand.
“You don’t care about this family, do you?”
Jo sighed and said, “A gift is a reward for raising me. This family doesn’t cultivate me, but it did raise me.”
“OK.”
Looking at her troubled look, Andrew smiled and patted her on the shoulder. “I’ll handle this.”
“What?” Jo looked at Andrew in confusion. She didn’t know what he was thinking about.
But somehow, Andrew’s smile always made her feel at ease.
As the first child came to mahathera, the family’s tributes officially began.
“Joe Mo offers a middle demon core.”
The child knelt on the ground and raised the tray in his hand above his head.
The crowd exclaimed.
“I didn’t expect the youngest Joe Mo can offer such a generous gift?”
“It seems that all the juniors of our Joe clan have made great achievements this year.”
The leaders of the Joe clan began to discuss.
When Joe Tianyuan saw the mid-rank demon core, he was so happy that he couldn’t stop smiling.
Andrew looked at them expressionlessly.
Then came a young man named Joe Chao. He looked a little older than Joe Mo, about fifteen years old.
What he offered was a middle-rank magic crystal of 5KG weight.
There was a burst of exclamation on the scene.
The mahathera even cheered up happily.
Joe Chao also proudly puffed out his chest in people’s praise.
Then, the third, the fourth, and the fifth.
Gifts from the younger generation came one after another, causing others to exclaim again and again.
Finally, it was the three brothers’ turn.
The three brothers came to mahathera with a tray and knelt in front of him.
Mahathera smiled and said, “You made mistakes a few days ago, and I punished you. Do you accept it?”
The three brothers said at the same time, “Mahathera ‘s punishment is reasonable.”
“Well, well, you are worth teaching.” Mahathera nodded.
Anyway, the three brothers were outstanding among the younger generation.
Joe Tianyuan didn’t push them to death of what happened that day.
“Grandpa, we have prepared these for you.”
They lifted the tray at the same time.
“We present 3 top rank demon cores and 3KG of top rank magic crystals.”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
‘Top demon core?
How could a child be able to have the top demon core?
It was known that the value of a top-rank demon core was equivalent to ten mid-rank demon cores, or even more than that.’
“Well, well, well. You are filial! Well, I think highly of you.”
” As the younger generation, if you are happy, then we can rest assured.”
They stood up and left.
Before leaving, he didn’t forget to look at Jo sarcastically.
He seemed to be saying, ‘Look what you will send.’
Finally, after half an hour, there were fewer people.
However, at this moment.
An old man in a dark brown magic robe came onto the stage.
According to the rules, guests should also present gifts.
Because attend the ceremony, there must be people in the Joe clan who lead him in.
When he gave the gift, he also brought his friends with him.
But it was the first time that they had seen the old man.
It was known that gifts were given to the elders by the younger generation. The younger generation was usually between 12 to 20 years old, and most of their friends were of the same age. They were at most over 30 years old.
‘What kind of young man would make a friend of an old man?’
However, when everyone saw the man’s face clearly, they all gasped.
The man had short grey hair. Several scars were engraved on his square face.
His eyes were ferocious and his eyes were red. As an elder, he didn’t have the kindness that an elder should have. Instead, he looks fierce.
This man was the director of the Magic Association, Gellis.
“Mr. Gellis?” As soon as mahathera saw him, he couldn’t sit any longer. He stood up and asked, “Why did you…”
“Alas! Please sit. I’m here to find my bride. In that case, I will soon be the son-in-law of the Joe clan.
Of course, I should also give you a gift.”
Gellis said with a smile.
“But…”
“Please have a seat.”
Mahathera was flattered and sat down, at a loss for a moment.
It could be seen that he was surprised to see Gellis.
Under the envious eyes of the crowd, Gellis took out his gift.
“This is my gift for you. Please accept it.”
As soon as the thing came out, all the people were shocked.
“Mr. Gellis, 2KG of the top magic crystal!”
‘The top magic crystal!’
Everyone was shocked.
Not to mention possessing, many people had never seen it in their lives.
The total stock of the Joe clan’s store was only 1KG.
“I… I can’t accept this great gift.” Although he said so, mahathera’s eyes widened as he looked at the crystal.
“What are you talking about? Take it.”
Gellis said and handed it to him.
Joe Tianyuan’s body trembled with gratitude.
It seemed that if it weren’t for his family here, he would have knelt in front of him instead.
Finally, after shaking hands and thanking him repeatedly, Gellis left.
Before he left, he glared at Jo through the crowd.
Jo couldn’t help but shiver at his obscene gaze.
Seeing this, Andrew didn’t hesitate.
He stepped horizontally between them and looked at him mercilessly.
Who is Andrew?
Although he was young, he had experienced countless lives and death. How could an official member sitting in the office compare with him?
The malicious aura shot out from his eyes mage Gellis’s sinister smile instantly stiffened.
In his eyes, he seemed to see the evil spirit behind Andrew condensed into a fierce tiger and roaring at him.
‘Who is this guy? What’s the relationship between him and my bride?’
Gellis was shocked.
Then his anger was ignited.
‘How dare you provoke me with your eyes?’
After silently remembering Andrew’s appearance, he went back to his seat.
Finally, it was Jo and Joe’s turn.
Joe first, 5KG of refined gold was delivered, and 10KG of top rank magic crystals were delivered along with Newton.
It also caused an uproar.
In addition, Joe was the most outstanding among the younger generation. Joe Tianyuan was very happy. 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚
Joe left.
Finally, it was Jo’s turn.
As soon as they walked out, there was a burst of laughter from the crowd.
She turned around and saw the three brothers laughing.
“What is it? A shank? A mountain demon’s or goblin’s?”
“Hahaha, what a waste!”
“Aren’t you afraid of losing face?”
Chapter 354 You Are Good at Pretending
Ignoring the mockery of the three brothers, Jo went straight forward with her gifts.
Standing in front of Joe Tianyuan, he immediately changed into an indifferent expression.
“What’s this?” Joe Tianyuan looked at the two shank bones in the tray in disgust.
Even the knowledgeable reporter was stunned.
“I don’t know where you got the dead people’s bones?” Joe Sky shouted.
Joe Land sniffed, “What are you doing?”
As they clamored, the faces of Joe Tianyuan became gloomy.
Jo ignored them and knelt silently. “This is the back leg bone of the hell double-head dog.”
‘The hell double-head dog?’
Upon hearing this, everyone froze in an instant.
It was a fiend that lived in the transition area of the first and second floor of the Roland Forest.
It was difficult to hunt and the number was rare, the value of one could be equal to 5KG top-rank magic crystals.
“That’s it?” Joe Tianyuan couldn’t believe his eyes.
“It must be fake. She is just a loser. Half a year ago, she only had less than 300 magic power. How could she get the leg bone of the hell double-head dog?”
Joe Person was the first to doubt her.
Then the other two brothers also shouted.
However, Jo remained unmoved. “Grandpa, you can check it if you don’t believe me.”
Joe Tianyuan tipped them a wink, and the two knowledgeable leaders ran up to put on their glasses to check.
The result was obvious.
“Mahathera, it’s true.”
Hearing this, not to mention Joe Tianyuan, even Joe Tempo was shocked.
‘Did my daughter have the strength to hunt the hell double-head dog?
That was a mid-rank fiend!
Before finding it, she had to go through the first floor of the Roland Forest, which was very dangerous.’
At this moment, even the three brothers were speechless.
Facing such a precious thing, Joe Tianyuan felt embarrassed for a moment.
After all, he didn’t treat her well.
“Who knows where it came from?”
“That’s right. There are a lot of materials in law school. It might cost her a whole year’s points to exchange for them.”
“He was pretending.”
The three brothers still didn’t give up and mocked him.
The value of these two bones had made the three of them look shabby.
Andrew suddenly patted his forehead and said, “Oh, I almost forget. Jo, why didn’t you remind me that we only took a part of our gifts?”
“Part?”
“Part?”
Jo and Joe Tianyuan looked at Andrew.
One was confused.
And another was suspecting?’
Andrew put his hand into the sky ring and said with a smile, “I’m sorry, mahathera. I have a bad memory.
My ring is of high quality. I forgot the gift that Jo asked me to keep.
Here, these are also prepared by Jo for you.”
Andrew took out a handful of things and poured them on Jo’s tray.
Jo felt something heavy on her hand, but she couldn’t see the tray above her head.
But she could feel that the tray was almost broken by something heavy.
At this moment, everyone was shocked.
Even Gellis, who had sniffed at them before, widened his eyes in disbelief.
The reporter was so scared that he trembled. After a long time, he reported in a trembling voice, “There are two legs bones of the hell double-head dog. 5KG of Pure gold, 1 top-grade demon core without any attributes.
10KG of pure gold, 30KG of pure secret silver,100KG of pure copper, 10 top demon cores and 50 mid demon cores.”
Those great things almost scared Joe Tianyuan to fall off the chairs.
Magic crystals couldn’t be given to him.
But Andrew had had a lot of things.
Among them, the only things that could make Andrew feel painful were the pure gold and the top-grade demon core with no property.
Of course, Andrew was willing to do that for the sake of Jo.
What’s more, compared with Andrew’s reserve, it was just the tip of the iceberg and he could afford it.
To be honest, these things were worthless to Andrew.
Andrew thought it was a good thing to give him more.
Because the space of his ring was not enough, it was a good chance to clean up some rubbish.
But for the Joe clan, it meant a lot.
Joe Tianyuan’s hands trembled.
The gift from Jo was worth more than what everyone had just presented.
For a moment, he didn’t know how to talk to Jo.
After taking the things away, Andrew bowed to Joe Tianyuan with Jo and Signa.
“Mahathera, we go back to our seats.” Andrew didn’t give him any time to think.
Joe Tianyuan was still in a daze and said, “Okay, okay…”
He suddenly came to his senses and wanted to ask Jo about her current situation.
But Andrew had already taken her back to her seat.
At this moment, Joe Tianyuan became awkward.
The legs of the hell double-head dog might not very precious.
But since she could give him so many things, she must have a good life.
‘Even if you pretend to be rich, you should be capable.’
When they returned to their seat, Newton elbowed at Andrew and said, “Wow. You’re good at pretending.”
With a faint smile, Andrew said, “It’s just clear some rubbish. You are the same, aren’t you?”
Newton laughed and said, “It’s not so troublesome for me to clean up the garbage. Just give it to my subordinates.”
“I envy you. I don’t know to deal with so many things.”
“You can sell them to me. Student union can also recycle them.”
“Well, is that okay?”
“Usually no, but I’m the head of the officials. I can decide it.”
“Okay, it’s a deal.”
They were discussing heatedly, but they didn’t notice that Gellis was staring at Andrew through the crowd.
He seemed to be thinking about something.
After calming down, Joe Tianyuan barely recovered from the shock.
Deep in his heart, he looked at Jo with new eyes. He was thinking about punishing her but what he should do now?
“Let’s begin.” Joe Tianyuan gave a hint.
The messenger next to him took the order and stepped forward, “The opening ceremony is over. Mahathera will remember your kindness.
May the Joe clan be prosperous, and the new generation can be protected by their ancestors and live happily.
Now, let’s hold the next project.
The interior competition!”
“It’s finally coming!”
Newton whispered.
He was so excited that he couldn’t control himself.
