112 Chapter 112
In addition to serving the gods and "communicating" with the gods every day, the priests in the tribe also need to learn and apply the knowledge about medicinal herbs.
Different worlds, there will be differences in all aspects, for example, medicinal herbs, Ace didn't know much in the first place, and in his opinion, there was no herb that he was familiar with.
Because he had to re-learn, he spent more time gathering, not for the edible fruits that had been judged over the years, but for the herbs that might change a little after gathering.
Because the part of the herb that needs to be used is different, the sample handed over to Ace is also different, and the whole is found through the part, even if there is already a sacrifice that describes the appearance of the whole, but it is also very laborious to find.
Ace's daily gathering turned into picking fruit with Murphy, and then Murphy went back first, and he continued to look for herbs.
This kind of boring work does not seem to be so boring when it is done seriously, and one day while looking for herbs, he meets a leon orc.
Probably the one in the plot, or not, Ace didn't pay attention to it after showing the other party the way, and the lion orc didn't mean to stay for a long time, so he left directly.
After Ace returned to the tribe and continued to learn from the sacrifices, this orc is not good at words, many words are concise and to the point, and will not be repeated repeatedly, which requires Ace to memorize it all at once, fortunately, the culture of primitive society is not too complicated, and he can afford it.
As time passed, winter approached.
The climate change in this world is also divided into seasons, but the distinction is not very clear, Ace has not seen a few plants turn yellow leaves, and the cold air suddenly fills the air one day.
The orcs, who were heavy hunters, were no longer so busy, and they instead fortified their houses. Ace offers some advice in this regard, he hasn't learned how to use the power of faith yet, but it is still possible to find some adhesive materials.
Perhaps because of his status as a disciple, none of these people questioned his claims, nor did they inquire about the source of these suggestions, but did as he was told, and thanked him.
At this point, Murphy was the most direct, giving him a large jar of his favorite jam.
"There's a lot of food you don't have to eat in the winter, so don't be hungry and save it for the winter. ”
"Got it, thank you. ”
Ace thanked him, took the jam from the clay pot, and then asked Murphy to help him sort out the gifts from the families.
Half a year was still too short, and most of his energy was focused on the power of faith, but he didn't have time to familiarize himself with these things that might be used in his daily life. It's embarrassing to say, after becoming a sacrificial disciple, there is no need to worry about food and clothing, someone will serve it, and it is extraordinarily proper, at least it is the best under this condition, and he really can't be picky.
In this way, he may know what cooked meat looks like, but he can't tell how it should be cooked raw.
This is not the previous world, if you roast and eat meat that must be boiled to eat, it is likely to be poisoned to death, and what is the mechanism of this, he guessed that some kind of germ can only dissolve in water and be killed by high temperature.
Murphy readily agreed, on the condition that he would take a piece of meat when he left, and he could mention this condition, or because he was familiar with Ace, otherwise, how dare he receive a reward for doing things for the sacrificial disciples.
Ace felt very relaxed about this, and went back and forth, in this peaceful environment, it was good not to owe anything.
"By the way, have you heard, Yaher and Hess are getting better. Murphy gossiped with Ace as he sorted things away.
"Oh, I haven't heard of it yet. ”
The original owner's popularity in the tribe is not good, but because he is a female, most people let him, he is willful, and he will not lack anything, and with Ace, he is too busy with his own affairs, how can he have time to take care of others, and those gossips are far away from him.
Others saw him turn into a sacrificial disciple, and they all looked up to him, and even the parents of the original owner talked to him with respect, and when he saw him again, he didn't smile, and he only wanted to be a sacrifice, and he didn't dare to laugh with him, saying that it was not an exaggeration to say that he was retreating, who else was good with him?
In comparison, Murphy, a gossipy friend, is particularly valuable, in fact, Hess was able to say those words to Ace last time, which was also quite a show of courage.
Ace concentrated on putting away the sun-dried herbs, which was the greatest achievement of his time, and the results of his learning were clearly visible compared to the incomprehensible things like the power of faith.
"Hey, don't you have anything to say?" Murphy was very dissatisfied, he went out of his way to say this gossip, is it just to get a bland "oh"?
Ace smiled and said, "He's always liked Yahe, isn't it good to be able to be together?"
"That's good, but Yaher liked you in the first place!" Murphy remembered his high emotional intelligence, but he didn't know how to express his doubts and get the information he wanted to know.
Seeing his anxious appearance, Ace smiled more calmly, "But I don't like him, and I'm separated, who is he looking for, does it still have anything to do with me? I'm a person who wants to serve God!"
In the case of the whole people*, he may be a little uncomfortable at first, but as long as he treats the other half as a woman, there seems to be nothing incomprehensible, and he has no prejudices, but he can't accept that this kind of thing happens to him.
In fact, before he got out of this marriage, he had been worried that the profession of sacrifice was gender-picking, but fortunately, God was not so harsh.
"That's true, but I always feel weird. Murphy muttered, "I just don't think Hess is good." ”
Due to the realistic conditions, no one will put "loyalty" in the balance between husband and wife, but during the existence of the partnership, there is really no orc who is good with other females.
Naturally, before Ace's incident, there had never been a female who had ended their partnership unilaterally and done so successfully.
Because of the family concept of the tribe, the child has to live with his partner after marriage, and his parents have raised him to be able to support himself, whether he can hunt by himself or collect by himself, and his obligations to him are terminated.
For example, Ace, after he got married, his parents at home ignored him completely, in fact, after he was able to gather food with Murphy, his parents only provided him with a place to live, and the rest was up to him.
After getting married, it became Yaher who provided him with food and lodging, and unlike before he got married, all his requests would be solved by Yaher, and his parents would not provide any help.
In the same way, his parents would not object to anything against him.
Therefore, being able to successfully become a sacrificial disciple is also because of the effect of this unspoken rule, of course, the consent of the patriarch and the sacrificial still accounts for a large proportion, otherwise, Yahe does not agree, and Ace has no way at all.
It's not that there is no way at all, after fully recovering his mental power, he can use his mental power to control Yahe to agree to his request, but that would be too slow.
He was also stimulated at that time, and hoped to solve the matter immediately, so he boldly applied to the priest, otherwise......
"Anyway, I won't be friends with him in the future, otherwise what if my orcs fall in love with him?" Murphy had already found his target, but he hadn't said it yet, out of an indescribable fear of a crush, what if the other party didn't agree?
Ace smiled, didn't say anything, everyone has the right to choose friends, he didn't interfere much.
Within two days, the news of Murphy's gossip had come true, Hess was going to hold a marriage ceremony with Yaher, which was equivalent to another bonfire for the tribe in the evening, and it didn't take much effort, and it could be lively, and everyone was very happy.
The priest frowned, but did not express a clear objection, in fact, although polyandry exists, in the eyes of these orcs, it is just the first time to prepare for the wedding, and the others, there is no such stable relationship, and it does not need to be proved in front of the gods.
But no one has the right to veto it, just as everyone has the right to pray to God, and whether God listens or not is another matter.
The priest did not object to the patriarch's opinion, but expressed his dissatisfaction in his own way, and he pushed the ceremony to Ace to preside.
It's nothing, but it's a little strange to do it like this.
Ace didn't pay attention to the opinions of others, he had long been curious about the prayer of the sacrifice, the fluctuation in Hess's first ceremony was not a fraud, but he had never been able to get an answer, it seemed to belong to the category of "keeping a hand", the sacrifice had never taught him, but, this time it was to preside over the ceremony, he had no reason not to teach.
It wasn't until the ceremony that Hess saw that Ace, who was dressed in a similar costume to the sacrificial costume, was the one who presided over, and his face was very bad at that time, but he didn't dare to say anything.
When Ace grabbed his hand, he didn't shake it off, with the force of the pull, it touched Yahe's hand, and when the two hands were shaken, he pinched Yahe fiercely, for fear that he would fall on Ace's body, to be honest, after Ace put on that sacrificial costume, the whole person had a sense of holiness and an even more unattainable appearance.
Hess's eyes were red with jealousy, but he endured it until the end of the ceremony.
Ace ignored the psychological changes of the person concerned, and at the moment when the prayer was completed, he truly realized the operation mode of the power of faith, and his cheeks were slightly red with excitement, as if he had drunk pure brew, and his eyes brightened to look at everyone in the field.
There are no words to describe the feeling of the moment when the power of faith is truly used, the whole world, in my grasp, the feeling is simply intoxicating.
For a moment, Ace forgot who he was, completely immersed in the feeling of "God", and everything in front of him became small and meaningless, fortunately, with the loud voices of everyone, he quickly woke up from that illusion, and truly realized that the power of faith is like the charm of drugs, and repeatedly reminded himself to be more careful in the future, after all, it is not a real god, in case of intoxication, I think it will not end well. 166 Reading Network
