"Chief Divine bless us! Ignite the kiln!"
"Firestone Great Divine Spirit bless us! Ignite!..."
The sacrificial rite in Reagan Town began at sunrise and ended at noon. Next came the brick kiln inauguration ceremony! A row of eight three-meter-tall brick kilns was filled with thousands of red soil bricks, premium black perforated coal briquettes, and kindling for lighting the fire. As the Songbird High Priest gave the command, eight Priest Apprentices, with a holy expression, ignited the kindling!
"Woosh... Boom!..."
Eight flames slowly rose, burning larger and larger. Thin blue smoke wafted from the kiln openings, becoming thicker. Many tribespeople bowed their heads with reverence toward the miraculous kilns that could turn mud into stone. Not far away, the pottery kilns also emitted smoke, and the bronze smelting workshop was engulfed in smoke and fire, day and night.
