Frank listened to Bjorn's simple words, but when he arrived, he realized that the only simple part of the matter was to explain the process clearly.
From this settlement near the port, looking deeper into the ice sheet, there is barren land covered in ice and snow. At the end of the field of view, abrupt mountain ranges rise up, presenting a wave like posture. This natural dividing line divides the relatively mild areas on this side between the true pristine ice sheet and the mountains.
The construction method here is similar to that of the Kingdom of North, but the wooden structure is omitted and a dome style building similar to a snow house is used. On the one hand, it's because the vegetation here only consists of low shrubs and moss, and on the other hand, it's also because in places where the temperature drops below zero all year round, you really don't need to consider using clay to stick the stones together, let alone worry about getting wet and loose during rain - only blizzards.
Release the human sled, "Bjorn pointed to a large stone head next to the settlement that was even higher than the house and said," Do you see that big black stone over there? That's where the ceremony started
Amidst the puzzled gazes of Frank and his followers, he suppressed his laughter and explained the religious tradition of the Icelanders: it is well known that survival on the Icelands has been the biggest problem since ancient times, and all religious content revolves around this point.
Of course, if you want to show that your god is worthy of belief, it depends on whether your god can give people strong survival abilities. The old rule is to start from the tribal regulations, without wearing clothes, tools, water, or food, and head towards the distant mountains. In that mountain range composed of black rocks, there are countless caves where you will find "living stones" deep down. Just knock on one and bring it back as proof.
The entire process may vary depending on the distance between each tribe and the mountain range, lasting from several months to a year. The tribe will select a few people to follow closely as witnesses of this ceremony through a primitive democratic voting method.
As for the 'living stones', according to Bjorn's description, they are similar to the vast majority of stones on this ice sheet. The stones used to build houses, the stones used as starting points, and the stones that make up the mountains are all the same type of black rock. The only difference is that it is clearly "alive" at first glance and can only be found deep in caves in the mountains. The small pieces knocked down will die within a few days and can only be verified by witnesses on the spot.
After arriving at the place, you can choose a cave to go in and get it yourself. Anyway, your god will guide you. Everyone won't follow because it's not easy to come out after entering.
How can we survive without clothes, tools, or food? There are animals on the ice sheet, use the power given to you by the gods to ask for them.
As long as you can complete this ceremony, it proves that your god can really give people the power to survive. The tribe will build the strongest house for the unquestionable god spokesperson, and the living stone you bring back will be embedded in the wall as a proof of the miracle. The old priest was inspired by the Stone God thirty years ago and accomplished this feat under the witness of several trusted warriors. As a result, the entire tribe converted to the Stone God.
When he dies, his successor will also perform this ceremony. However, considering that people who have been inspired by God are actually very rare, most of the time the tribe is in a state of no faith.

To be honest, William was also hearing this for the first time. He looked at Bjorn with a puzzled expression, indicating whether he had fabricated too harshly.
Don't look at me, every word I say is true. We never joke about this, "he gestured at the physical difference between the two sides and laughed
