Why would Debauchery, Anne and the Valyrians learn a new language that is possibly only useful for one event? Because it's a secret and secure communications thod that can be used publicly without the need to worry about others who know the sa language.
Therefore even though the language was strange and vocally challenging, they did not stop practising and learning, it was a sign of how much they were looking forward to the feast and ultimately how bored they were. Twelve days passed like a dream, on the morning of the 12th day, Yunan teleported to the outside of the village, his sudden appearance alerted so of the guards but they turned from hostile to welcoming and jubilant like a flip of a switch, Yunan passed each of them a bottle of lava wine as thanks for working hard even in the day of the festival.
Yunan was imdiately led to the old lizard who seed to be the leader of the village because even the boss was polite to him, there, after offering his greetings and well wishes, Yunan obtained permission to bring out his friends and family, once Debauchery was brought out they imdiately integrated with the surrounding crowd, even going as far as challenging the boss for so arm wrestling and asking the old lizard to a drinking contest.
Usually it is impossible to attack any monster that is 10 floors lower than the current level of an adventurer, however there was an exception, if there was no malice between both they were able to touch and wrestle without any damage dealt, however, the only way most adventurers could experience such a thing was in the rest floors with the animals in there, since those animals are rather easy going and had no hostility against the adventures.
And with that Debauchery took the full attention of the scaly tail tribe, sharing their food and drink, performing their rituals and playing with their kids, Fae and Lucian used all the magic in their inventory to create beautiful spectacles, Dustan and Balin were taking turns arm wrestling the boss and deliberately losing while seducing the maidens watching them by making poses and talking big and boasting, Bai found so old n to play a chess-like ga with them wagering shiny things like jewellery and pearls, while Leader had Lili, Ophelia and Reina by her side within a ball of maidens chattering about this and that. Leol and Muscles were recruiting a new slave for Leol successfully getting turned down every ti, while Lina and Nina found the kitchens and started exchanging housekeeping tips, as for Yunan he was left alone with the old lizard to talk peacefully. Kitty, on the other hand, joined the kids watching the magical spectacle conjured up by Fae and Lucian with wide eyes and a silly smile.
"Lively bunch, we should join them soon, also make sure they do not leave the village periter, it is hard for to keep the repulsive effect of the motherland from taking effect outside of the village" Yunan nodded and sent the ssage through the communication rings "my apologies, I was inconsiderate by bringing them all here, please if there is anything I can do I am willing to do it". The old lizard shook his head "this festival will be recounted with the happiest of our mories, it is worth a slight discomfort to so old bag of bones". There was appreciation in Yunan's eyes.
"I ca here to ask, how co beings like yourself who are sentient and individual can be considered not awakened and still stay here for such a long ti?". The old man sighed "our tribe was brought in from the outside based on the request of our chieftains at the ti, according to the man who cos to take the awakened ones, we were brought here to make sure our tribe survives and thrives, as for the awakened from us it is those who have unlocked the ability to use the common tongue. Many beast-ling tribes have done the sa, you may have t so of them, all the tribes are entrusted to a role given to them by the builder of this place, and we as descendants of our chieftains understand their motives, even if there have been no war in this tribe for millennia we are still a warring tribe and even if the world accepted this fact, it would be hard for us not to fight for the sake of war, sothing our chieftains of old have decided can be best used in training the adventurers who would pass by this place, but it seems we have not been able to play that role since no one passes by this village".
Yunan thought solemnly for a minute before asking the old man "why not send your warriors to where the humans fight, I am sure a worthy foe is a welcod sight, but I fear that showing yourselves to the world may cause this village to be under attack, maybe we can discuss with the guild and see if we can arrange so protection for the won and children in case of a large-scale invasion".
The old man laughed heartily at the words Yunan spoke before clarifying "this village is protected by the builder, only those invited here may co inside and only those who were invited I be able to fight our champion, sotis the champions arena can be projected into the world if we were to think we may have so challenges that are worthy to fight him, but otherwise, only those who step foot in this village can find it again, even if they lead others, later on, they would reach this village alone, therefore we will keep to our tradition, and maybe we can seek for war now and then".
Yunan made a sigh of relief, at least the village was in no danger even if the warriors were discovered. "If that is the case, then I have no complaints and have answers to all my questions, how about we join the fun outside?" he stood up and offered the old man his hand to help him up, the old man took the offered hand and led Yunan into the festival while talking jubilantly about the aning and the rituals involved, they passed by the new factions created under the effect of Debauchery, who seed to be having too much fun for Yunan's liking.
