Chapter 19: Open Hunting
The astonishing fact made Izzy a little at a loss.
Izzy didn't know if the elemental spirits would be able to make a vow with the elemental spirits, and he didn't know if his dream of magical spells had been shattered and could never be realized again.
He looked at the Flame Giant for help, and asked in a loud voice, "Venerable Elemental Lord, may I ask if I can still make a covenant with the elemental spirits in such a state?"
"That's impossible, if the elementals are in some kind of crisis, and you are also born as elemental spirits, you will only be in the same crisis as them?" The Flame Giant vetoed Izzy's question, leaving Izzy feeling dead.
"Why do you want to make a covenant? The Flame Giant looked at the lost Izzy and asked a little confused.
"Because I've just become a trainee shaman for the clan, I feel like I'll never be able to do my job. Izzy answered the Flame Giant's question with some pain.
"I don't quite understand what you orc clan shamans are supposed to do, but as a powerful elemental spirit, you shouldn't be like this, even though you've just been born, you'll be as powerful and majestic as I am in the future, so hold your chest up, my friend. The Flame Giant tapped Itchy's head with a huge cooled lava finger, comforting Itch with a proud tone.
Hope was immediately rekindled in Izzy's heart, yes, why should he be lost, becoming an elemental spirit is many times stronger than becoming a shaman.
Suddenly enlightened, Izzy immediately bowed to the Flame Giant and thanked him: "Thank you for your comfort, respected Elemental Lord, I feel much better.
The Flame Giant's lava face showed a smile and whispered, "It's nothing, I am the heart of this volcanic mountain, and that hateful Margolon used to occupy my residence, but some time ago on your festival, I heard that your Fireblade clan killed that Margolon, so I can continue to live in the place where I was born." ”
"I also heard that it was a child of your clan named Rolling Stone, who defeated the Margolon with his wisdom, and I would like to thank him in person when I find an opportunity, this place means a lot to me.
After hearing this, Izzy took off his stone tooth necklace with a smile on his face, and said in a loud voice: "Dear Elemental Lord, you don't need to thank me, I killed that Margolon because he threatened the safety of our clan, and introduce myself, I am Nagnosh Izzy Rolling Stone of the Fireblade Clan, son of Yushuro Trick, and a student of the clan's chief shaman, Artur Lava Grip.
When the flame giant heard this, he immediately looked lava surprised, bent down, looked carefully at the necklace in Izzy's hand, and then looked at Izzy's size, and suddenly smiled.
"I didn't expect you to be the Rolling Stone, thank you for allowing me to return home, come, tell me how you killed that Margolon. ”
The Flame Giant suddenly shrank, like the lower body of a molten whirlwind, instantly frozen, and a pair of feet appeared, which were also covered with a domineering lava armor, and he sat down cross-legged.
Izzy thought for a moment, and while talking about the situation, he pointed to the stone ball in the ruins, and told the Heart of the Mountains everything that happened that day, this flame giant was much more easy-going than Izzy imagined, and not as described by Mentor Artur, all elemental spirits were very arrogant.
They talked until the afternoon, and when Izzy felt it was time to go back, he got up and said goodbye to the heart of the mountains, saying that he would come back tomorrow.
The Heart of the Mountains was a little reluctant to say goodbye.
As Izzy walked home, he suddenly felt as if he had forgotten to ask, how do the elemental spirits cast spells?
Back at home, cooking, Izzy recently found a plant root in the forest that tasted like a potato, this tuber tasted like a potato, but the shape was hugely different, like a white radish, and Izzy was going to see if he could promote this plant in the future.
But now it's cooking time, so I steam the "earthy radish" in a steamer basket I made, take it out and mash it into a puree, sprinkle it with salt and some kind of spice similar to pepper, sprinkle a little celery leaf chopped from another world, and a dish of otherworldly mashed potatoes is complete.
Continuing to cut the sparrow that had been marinated for half an hour and putting it in the steamer, taking out the steamed white-cut chicken, Izzy thought about it, squeezed out some kind of lemon-like fruit juice, poured it on a large plate of white-cut chicken, and a hearty dinner was completed.
Izzy thinned the mashed potatoes and fed them to Kokana little by little.
I also ate some of it, and I think it is very good, the orcs eat it too greasy, and the steamed vegetables are really much more comfortable to eat.
The curtain opened, and Izzy heard the voice, knowing that his father was back.
"Bang!", the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, immediately attracted Izzy's attention, he looked back, Yushuro actually fainted on the ground, Izzy hurriedly stepped forward to check, touched his hand, blood stained his hand, he immediately untied Yushuluo's clothes, check his injuries.
On the chest was some kind of feline neat three cuts, not too serious, and black blood was remaining.
Poison! Yushuro is poisoned!
Izzy came to his senses and immediately rushed out of the tent and rushed to Mentor Artur's tent.
"Mentor, Mentor, Mentor Artur, My father is poisoned!
Already asleep, Artur was woken up by Izzy.
"What did you say? Your father was poisoned?" Artur, who had just woken up, immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, picked up a medicine box, and rushed to Izzy's house.
Shaman Artur went in and began to check Yushuro's injuries with his hands and feet, and after looking at it for a while, Shaman Artur's compact brows eased.
He took out a few strangely shaped herbs with white spots on the leaves, crushed them into minced pieces, and applied them to Yushuro's wounds. Then he took out all sorts of herbs, gave them to Izzy, and told him.
"These herbs are boiled into a medicinal soup, try to divide them evenly for seven days, just feed them to your father every morning, his injuries are not serious, but the poison in his body has damaged his physical functions, he should wake up in these two days, and he can't move casually for at least half a month, remember not to let him exercise vigorously for half a month, I will go to say hello to the hunting team." ”
Izzy looked at his father's wound and said with a serious face: "Mentor Artur, thank you, thank you for saving my father, but winter is coming soon, and the food stored at home is not enough to survive this winter, I feel that I have to do something for this family, and I am willing to join the hunting team to make up for my father's gap." ”
"You don't need to be like this, my child, I can help your family survive this winter, and your parents need to be taken care of, you can't go out early and return late like a hunting party. Artur Sha kindly advised Izzy.
"No, Mr. Artur, that's your food, I can't do nothing and be a parasite, since I can't be outside all day, I think there should be no problem for half a day, I'm sure even my father will agree with my approach, mentor!" Artur looked at the determined look on the young orc's face, and couldn't help but say:
"Son, you are really like your father, and it is good that the young wolf always has to go through hardships to grow up, I promise you. Once again, Izzy thanked his mentor.
Artur Shaman thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Child, it just so happens that my herbs are about to run out, when you follow the hunting team, try to help me collect some back, and it is also my actual combat test of your herbal knowledge, ten herbs for a day's food, you don't refuse, no matter what, I am also your mentor, this matter is settled." ”
Izzy looked at his shamanic mentor and felt grateful, and got up to send his mentor home, but was stopped by Artur and asked him to take care of his family.
Izzy went back to the house and carried Yushuro to Kokana's side, put them to sleep together, warmed up the food, fed Yushuro some too, then took out his backpack, checked his gear, and when he was sure that there was no problem, he also lay down on the blanket and fell asleep.
Before dawn, Izzy woke up naturally, he got up to wash, cook, decoction, and arrange everything at home clearly, immediately took off his backpack, picked up Yushuro's bow and arrow, left a message, put it in front of Yushuluo's eyes, and set off to the clan gate.
The hunting party was already halfway there, and Izzy saw Shaman Artur talking to Lantrisso, who nodded and Izzy walked over.
"Today, our task is to get as much food as possible, whether it's animals or plants, winter is coming, and you don't want your family to go hungry in the cold winter. ”
"Now!Go!" In Yushuro's absence, Rantreso was the leader of the group.
The hunting party soon left the clan camp and walked towards the woods, Izzy thought about it for a while, and decided to try to enter the elemental horizon with his eyes open, it was not so difficult, he entered the state, the current state made him feel very magical, on one side was the scene in the field of vision, and on the other hand, in his mind, countless scenes of floating elemental energy, of course, the scene in his mind was not very stable, intermittently making it difficult for him to see clearly.
They had gone far in the forest, and everyone was looking for their prey, and Rantreso had been watching Izzy, as if he had lived in the jungle before, gathering a few herbs here and digging up a few radishes there.
Rantreso walked towards him and suddenly saw him crouching down. With a flick of his hand, a cold light flew into the air.
In a mournful roar, an obsidian dagger fell from its body.
Rantreso was stunned when he saw it, and opened his mouth to Izzy and said:
"How did you do that?"
Izzy turned back and put a finger to his mouth and made a "shhh
Lantreso also learned from Izzy to crouch down, and he thought it was time for Izzy to spot his prey.
Izzy pointed to a piece of wood, made a gesture to Lantriso, signaled that there was something there, and gestured, Lantreso looked at it for a long time before he understood that it should be a sheep's head.
Rantreso looked up, and all he saw was the dense woods, which made him a little puzzled, but Izzy was slowly approaching in that direction, and Rantreso followed.
He saw that behind the woods, there was a flat meadow, and a group of forest sheep were grazing comfortably, and Lanteriso was pleasantly surprised, just this group of forest sheep could make the clan have a good meal for a few days.
He looked at Izzy, who beckoned him to step back.
Returning to the hunting party, Rantriso concentrated his men as much as he could, everything went on in silence, they gradually surrounded the past, Rantriso looked at Itch and saw that he was not like them, the child took out a lot of rope and made traps in the path of some animals.
After using up all the ropes in his hand, he returned to the hunting party, where Rantreso waited for him, raising his hand to sign to all the orcs and assigning them to a specific position.
Izzy found that the experienced hunters, like ghosts, had arrived at their place, and they could quickly determine where their feet should be stepping on to make the least sound, and Izzy even felt that even their own breathing was slow and silent.
The hunting party had finished encircling, and Rantreso made a bow draw, as did all the orcs, with the first sound of loosening the strings
The sound sounded, and countless sharp arrows flew towards the flock, and almost half of the prey was immediately hit by the arrows, and the remaining beasts began to flee in all directions.
Even Izzy was so happy that he was so happy that the other orcs let out a howl of "Woo!woo!" and pursued their prey, and several of the forest sheep did not run far before they were immediately caught in place by the ropes under Izzy.
The orcs were stunned for a moment, stepped forward to kill their prey, and when they looked down, they found the noose on the beast's feet.
It was a great harvest, and every orc was given one or two forest sheep.
Rantreso had the orcs make stretchers that resembled those dragged on the ground, and carried their prey to the camp.
As he walked along the road, Rantreso and Izzy walked side by side, and he asked excitedly:
"How did you do that? You are like a magical natural hunter, who finds prey when no one can find any trace, and that magical lasso trap, like an old hunter who has been hunting all his life. ”
Izzy smiled and replied, "I'm not a hunter, I'm a shaman, you rely on the tracks of animals to follow your prey, and I rely on the senses of the elements, which is like a kind of vision with no dead spots within a certain range. ”
After hearing this, Randreso understood a little, and then asked, "Can all shamans be like you?"
Izzy thought for a moment, shook his head, and said with a smile: "Only my field of vision can be so big, don't tell other orcs." ”
"Well, I should have told your father earlier, it is a gift from heaven to let you join the hunting party, you will become the best hunter, and a hunter without your ability will never be able to defeat you. Randreso said with a sigh.
"What do you say? I can't hunt so many prey alone, and the ability of the hunting team today has opened my eyes, you actually approached the sheep like a group of ghosts without anyone talking, relying entirely on gestures, and firing a volley, that is the real hunt, okay?" Izzy praised their hunting skills in amazement.
Lantreso also smiled proudly, he really didn't expect that because of the addition of Izzy, he would be able to get such a bumper harvest in less than half a day, Lantreso suddenly shouted loudly:
"Guys, this harvest today is because our little Izzy was the first to find the prey, and I propose that today's prey will be the most rationed, do you have any objections?"
"Son of Yushuro, born hunter, stone roller!" the orcs shouted one after another.
The hunting party returned to the camp with a full load, and today's victory quickly spread throughout the Fireblade Clan, and Izzy was given 4 forest sheep, which was enough to survive half the winter, and Izzy also brought back a basket of herbs, and the Artur Shaman smiled crookedly.
"My student, I am very proud of your performance, you have completely exceeded my expectations, although I know that your elemental senses are beyond imagination, but I did not expect to be able to play such a huge role, it seems that it is the right choice for you to join the hunting party. Shaman Artur counted the herbs and admired Izzy.
The old shaman walked into the tent, carried a large string of bundled sparrows, and handed it to Izzy, who wanted to refuse, but when he saw the old shaman's eyes, and the electric light shining on his other hand, he trembled and accepted the old shaman's kindness.
"Just get me a few called flower chickens another day, and then our master and apprentice will have a drink! Let you meet your mentor, I treasure fine wine," You Shuluo smiled happily.
Izzy laughed too, and exclaimed, "Thank you, Mentor!" and left Yushuro's tent.
