Chapter 15: Leaving Naraci
After saying this, Lin Yu was ready to be beaten, but unexpectedly, Mashak actually put down his raised fist and laughed, Lin Yu didn't know why, in order to please the weird minotaur in front of him, he also laughed with him, but the sound of laughter was a little fake. Mashak suddenly stopped laughing and said to Lin Yu with a sinister expression.
"You scolded me just now, how do you calculate this account?"
"I%#Β₯@! @#Β₯# "Lin Yu has the heart to kill his whole family, this old immortal is too difficult to serve, praise him, say that he is hypocritical, scold him, and settle accounts with himself."
"Well, Elder, you told me the truth just now." Lin Yu muttered quietly.
"If I tell you to say it, you can say it? I'll let you die, will you go? Mashak asked with a smile on his face, the words were a joke, but Lin Yu could tell that Mashak's tone was very serious.
"Don't go!" Lin Yu's head shook like a rattle, if you let me die, I'll die? I'm stupid, I'm stupid.
"That's it, so we still have to settle the account you scolded me."
Wernergu, who has always been an audience, has a red face, he wants to laugh but doesn't dare to laugh, he knows that Mashak is moody, once he initiates the Fire Eagle Wind Chieftain, he dares not to give face, and he is extremely strict with Lohaku and himself, and he is also very fierce in beating them.
Mashak gave Wernagu a cold look, and Wernagu immediately coughed twice and looked up at the sky at forty-five degrees. Only then did Mashak continue to smile and say to Lin Yu.
"Tell me, guest, how should we settle our accounts?
"That, elder, whatever you say, I have no opinion."
"Refreshing!" Mashak clapped his hands and said loudly.
"I heard Wernagu say that your prospecting skills are first-class, and my requirements are not high, as long as you find good ore in the future, remember to leave me a copy. Remember, good ore. β
"Huh? That's it? β
"That's it, is there a problem?"
"No problem, of course!" Lin Yu readily agreed to Mashak's request, this is a trivial matter for him, and it won't be long before he and Abu will leave Nalaqi, whether they can come back in the future is a matter of two words, this kind of promise of favor without expense, unless Lin Yu's brain is broken, he will definitely agree to it coolly.
"Haha, okay. Down! Mashak was very happy, walked down the mountain with his hands behind his back, and snorted unsatisfied when he passed by Lohaku, who didn't say anything about it, and stood with Lin Yu Wonagu and walked down the mountain
Camp Nalachi.
In front of the tent on the far left, Mashak is forging weapons for Wernagu and Lohaku, with a hammer in his hand striking the copper that has been smelted in the furnace. Lohaku and Wonagu stared at the copper block on the furnace with their eyes intended, their hearts full of anticipation, as for Lin Yu, as soon as he returned to the camp, he was called into the tent by the Eagle Wind Chief.
"Guest, you've met Mashak." Chief Eagle Wind asked with his head slightly bowed.
"yes, I see." Lin Yu replied.
"How do you feel?" The corners of the Eagle Wind Chieftain's mouth turned up slightly.
"Not good." Lin Yu pursed his lips and replied.
"Guest, you think Mashak looks like a madman, don't you?" Chief Eagle Wind replied with a smile this time.
Lin Yu nodded without a trace, neither admitting nor denying it.
"No wonder you think so, Mashak is a very talented minotaur in blacksmithing, but he has a strange personality and is not popular with other minotaurs, and of course, he doesn't like to go anywhere else, so he has always played the role of a master blacksmith in the camp. Due to the scarcity of ore veins near the camp, his temper has become more and more eccentric without enough materials to forge it, and if he has offended in any way, I apologize to you on his behalf, guest. β
Look at what Chief Eagle Wind said, he is worthy of being a leader, and he is a fan when he speaks. Chief Eagle Wind's words made most of the anger in Lin Yu's heart disappear, being threatened and blackmailed by someone would make him angry, Lin Yu was no exception, but he didn't dare to show his anger.
"I'm not mad at Mashak, Chief, but I'm curious why he treats Lohaku so badly, but he agrees to help him forge weapons?"
"It should be that hatred of iron is not steel, Lohaku is a very potential Minotaur warrior, he is the only one in the camp who has the qualifications to become a warrior, but he gave up the opportunity to become a powerful warrior himself, Mashak was very angry after knowing the news, and after teaching Lohaku a hard lesson, his attitude towards Lohaku is like this. As for helping Lohaku forge weapons, Mashak is a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person, and he still cares about Lohaku. β
"What caused Lohaku to give up the opportunity to become a warrior?" Lin Yu asked, he had heard Lohaku mention it once before, it seemed that he was not used to seeing the arrogance of the minotaurs of Bloodhoof Village, but the specific content, Lohaku did not say.
"The Bloodhoof Minotaur has always looked down on us Narachi Minotaurs, and during the Warrior Trial, the Bloodhoof Minotaur sneered at Lohaku, mocking him for his incompetence and claiming that the Narach Minotaur was unworthy of the Warrior Trial. Lohaku defeated all of his opponents in the Warrior Trial, and then decisively gave up the opportunity to become a Warrior, and declared that he would never participate in the Warrior Trial again. After this, the Minotaurs of Bloodhoof Village once came to Naraki to apologize to Lohaku and wanted him to participate in the Warrior's Trial again, but Lohaku refused them, and he only wanted to guard Narachi. Chief Eagle Wind said regretfully.
Lin Yu listened to the explanation of the Eagle Wind Chieftain with a fluttering heart, and his admiration for Luo Haku in his heart went to another level. He really didn't see that Lohaku, who was usually stupid, had such a strong sense of glory, and what he did was so exciting. No wonder Lohaku was so angry when Okudel came to the Red Cloud Terrace, no wonder Tana said that Lohaku was the hero of Camp Nalaqi, and now it seems that the word hero is really well deserved.
"Tsk, Lohaku is a warrior worthy of respect." Lin Yu sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"That's true, guest. With the exception of Mashak, the rest of the minotaurs in the camp were very respectful of Lohaku. β
Lin Yu nodded, and suddenly remembered that Chief Eagle Wind hadn't said his true intention to call him over, and asked.
"Chief, is there something you called me for?"
"Yes, guest. I wonder when you're ready to leave the camp. β
Chief Eaglewind's words sounded a bit sultry to others. Lin Yu, who was clear about the situation, of course knew what Chief Eagle Wind meant, lowered his head and muttered for a moment, Lin Yu raised his head and said.
"Tomorrow."
"In such a hurry?"
"I don't have much time, do I, Chief."
"Now that you've decided, guest, you can take this hide and money and use it when you go out."
Chief Eagle Wind took out a plain lion animal skin nearly six meters long and three meters wide from behind his back, and there was also a gold coin, three silver coins and more than a dozen copper coins on the animal skin, and handed these to Lin Yu in one go. Taking over the animal skins and gold coins, Lin Yu said with some surprise.
"This plain lion skin is really big, and besides, chief, don't need the money."
"This plains lion skin was given to me by Lohaku, who killed the Plains Lion King and peeled it off, and the two scars on Lohaku's chest were also left during the battle with the Plains Lion King. As for the money, guests. Money is useless in the camp, but when you leave the camp, no matter what you do, you need to have money to support it, and this money is not much, you and Abu save it. β
Lin Yu really had nothing to say to Chief Eagle Wind, he knew that Chief Eagle Wind had done his best to help him, so he quickly bowed slightly, and Lin Yu said sincerely.
"Thank you for your generosity and help, Chief."
"Okay guest, I've done everything I need to say and do, I'm a little tired."
As soon as Lin Yu heard this, he walked out of the tent directly with the animal skin. Glancing at the furnace in front of the tent on the left, Mashak really had two brushes, and in a short time, the ingots on the furnace had gradually taken on the shape of a weapon, and it looked like an axe. It is estimated that in a while, the weapon that Lohaku and Wernagu dreamed of will be born, put the beast robe into the tent where he was resting, Lin Yu hurriedly ran to the edge of the furnace, he had always wanted to see the ability of the minotaur to forge.
"Captain, where are you going?" Lin Yu asked with a hippie smile and a dignified Luohaku Dao.
Seeing that Lin Yu was coming, Mashak put down the hammer he was holding high, looked at Lin Yu strangely and asked.
"What are you doing here?"
"I'll take a look, elder, you won't welcome me, will you?" Lin Yu asked with a dry laugh.
"Not welcome, get out of here." Mashak's words were not merciless at all, and he directly issued an eviction order.
"Your sister! Use the ore that Lao Tzu found to forge weapons, and don't let Lao Tzu see it, this Mashak is really too much.
Lin Yu was furious in his heart, and the second pole had a temper, he had spent so much effort to find ore for the Nalaqi Minotaur, and now he didn't even have the qualifications to watch the forging process. Who should not be angry? Lin Yu snorted, just about to open his mouth to refuse. Lohaku covered Lin Yu's mouth with a big hand and dragged him away from Mashak. After walking some distance, Mashak continued to swing his hammer and smash it against the copper ingots on the furnace, sparks splashing with each blow. Slapping away Luo Haku's big hand that was covering his mouth, Lin Yu said angrily.
"Captain Lohaku, what do you mean? Am I not even qualified to see it? Don't forget, I found this ore. You can do this kind of thing, unloading the mill and killing the donkey? β
Luo Haku saw that Lin Yu was really angry, he had never seen Lin Yu question himself like this, and said to Lin Yu apologetically.
"Lin Yu, my friend, in the process of forging the master forge, no one is allowed to watch from the side except for the master himself and the owner of the weapon, you are a distinguished guest, Mashak just opened his mouth to drive away. If it were someone else, he would have started to pick people up a long time ago. β
Lin Yu sighed in his heart and understood what Luo Haku meant. These so-called blacksmiths all regard their forging methods as treasures, and it is better to say that people of their own race have learned them. In any case, they will not teach the method of forging to people other than their own race, and those who are not of our race will have different hearts, and this saying is very marketable everywhere.
Lin Yu was not very angry at this time, and asked Luo Haku to go back and continue to stare around, he was wandering around the camp, he had nothing to do, there was still a period of time before the evening dinner, and during this time, Lin Yu could just take a look around.
Whistling over the tent where he was resting, Lin Yu saw Abu holding a wooden stick that matched his size in his hand, waving it desperately at the stake in front of him. Abu was still angry with himself, and Lin Yu thought about it and decided to tease the cute little minotaur.
"Abu, what are you doing?"
Far away, Lin Yu shouted with a smile.
Abu stopped what he was doing, looked back and saw Lin Yu walking towards him with a smile, slamming the wooden stick in his hand on the ground, and sitting on the ground angrily. Lin Yu smiled dumbly, sat down beside Abu, and asked softly.
"What, still angry?"|
"Hmph." As soon as Abu twisted his body, Lin Yu moved his buttocks, hugged Abu's shoulders and said.
"Do you think the ending I told me was perfunctory to you?"
Abu didn't speak, his small mouth was high, Lin Yu flicked his small mouth a few times, and said with a smile.
"Don't you like the ending of a strong warrior and a beautiful girl living happily together?"
Abu shook his head vigorously and said loudly unconvinced.
"It shouldn't end like that!"
Lin Yu sighed lightly, saw that Abu's little face collapsed together, and asked with a smile.
"And what do you think the ending should be?"
Abu immediately stood up, picked up the wooden stick on the ground, and said in front of Lin Yu with a giant axe and slashing down.
"The ending should be that the powerful god of war cow cuts off Onexia's head and returns to the tribe with the dragon's head to become a hero!"
That's how children think. Children are heroes worshippers, and all the endings they can think of are happy. He nodded to the open space beside him and motioned for Abu to sit down. Abu threw down the wooden stick in his hand, sat next to Lin Yu, and looked at Lin Yu with his little head up, as if to say that this is the end of the story.
Lin Yu sighed slightly in his heart, touched Abu's head lovingly, and asked.
"That's the ending you want?"
Abu nodded again and again, while Lin Yu shook his head slightly.
"Actually, this is not the end of the story, the real ending is that the mighty god of war bull wields a giant axe and slashes at Onexia's head, but it doesn't even knock off a piece of her dragon scales. Onexia stretched out its sharp dragon claws and stabbed into the chest of the god of war, and the mighty god of war and his Shadow Sorrow remained in Onexia's lair forever. β
"How could this be impossible" Abu couldn't stop muttering as if he had lost his soul, and then his eyes turned red, and he grabbed Lin Yu's arm and shook it vigorously.
"This is not the end, right, the God of War Cow will not die, right?"
Lin Yu was a little distressed when he saw that Abu was about to cry, but he still said ruthlessly.
"That's the end, Abu."
"Wow" Abu burst into tears, crying hoarsely. He was just a child, and he couldn't accept such a cruel ending, Lin Yu hugged Abu tightly and said softly.
"This ending disappoints you, but please believe me, Abu, this is the end of the God of War Cow."
Abu sobbed, and poor Baba looked at Lin Yu and asked.
"But he's a hero"
Lin Yu's heart was crossed, and he preached to Abu seriously and harshly.
"That's right, he's a hero, but who says that heroes don't die? Heroes can also get hurt and feel pain, heroes who don't use their brains and act rashly will encounter danger, and heroes will die. Heroes are no different from us except that they are stronger than us. Abu, I know you're very disappointed with this ending, everyone has heroic dreams, and you are no exception. But you have to know that heroes are not so easy to be, and carrying the title of hero often means that you have to take on more responsibilities, and these responsibilities are likely to put you in danger or even lose your life. In the camp, your Uncle Lohaku and Uncle Wonagu are both powerful, not to mention the great shaman priest of the Eaglewind Chieftain, they both have the potential to become heroes, and they all have the hope of becoming heroes. But you look at what they're doing now? They're desperate to survive. We are willing to give our lives for our families, but we should never give our lives for the illusory title of hero. Abu, if you still have the idea of becoming a hero in your heart, I advise you to give up as soon as possible, the useless title of hero is worthless compared to life. β
Abu was stunned, Lin Yu's stern words overwhelmed him. As a child, he couldn't fully understand the meaning of Lin Yu's words, but the heroic dream that had already taken root in his heart began to shake because of Lin Yu's words.
Lin Yu's words were not a whim, but after careful consideration, he decided to say to Abu. Since he promised that Chief Eagle Wind would take good care of Abu, Lin Yu would definitely be responsible for him. Children are impulsive, he doesn't want Abu to lose his life in the future because of impulsiveness, in Lin Yu's opinion, nothing is more important than life.
Looking at Abu's blank face, Lin Yu rubbed Abu's head and said.
"Well, don't think about those words, I'll tell you a separate story.
"Once upon a time, there was a human girl named Little Red Riding Hood"
As soon as Lin Yu's story was told about the big bad wolf hiding in Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother's house, Lohaku's extremely excited voice came from afar.
"Lin Yu! My friend! Check out my new weapon! β
As soon as Lin Yu and Abu turned around, they saw Lohaku running towards them with a huge battle axe in his hand. Patting Abu's shoulder, Lin Yu and Abu stood up and walked to Lohaku, pointed to the battle axe in Lohaku's hand and said with a smile.
"This is the weapon that Mashak built for you?"
Lohaku lifted the tomahawk in his hand and said happily.
"That's right, my friend."
"Wow, Uncle Lohaku, can I touch this weapon?" Abu looked at the axe in Lohaku's hand and his eyes were full of small stars.
"Of course! Little Abu! β
Abu cheered happily, his hand lightly touched the smooth surface of the tomahawk, his face was intoxicated, and when he still wanted to touch the sharp blade of the tomahawk, Lohaku shook his head and said.
"Little Abu, you can't touch it here, it will cut your palm."
Abu gave up the idea of touching the axe blade, seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, Lin Yu took Abu's hand and said.
"Lowe
"It's time to eat later, let's go back to the tent and rest for a while."
Abu nodded, Lin Yu led him back to the camp, in order to avoid suspicion, Lin Yu got into the tent as soon as he arrived at the camp, and his eyes didn't look at the Mashak and the furnace opposite him. Not long after, the minotaurs who had gone out dragged the dead impala back one after another, and they had a good harvest today. Placing the impala on the ground, some minotaurs took stones and set up a fire in the middle of the camp, and the campfire was full of firewood, and Lohaku took out some pieces of burning charcoal from Mashak's furnace and threw them into the campfire. The firewood in the campfire was easy to ignite.
"Wernagu, it's time to work!"
Patting the charcoal ash on his hands, Lohaku shouted to Wernagu, who was standing on the edge of the furnace like his third grandson, that Mashak was forging weapons for Wernagu.
Glancing at Lohaku with a resentful look in his eyes, Wernagu took a copper dagger and began to deal with the impala in the camp, which he handled with much more grace than Lohaku did with a fighting pig. After a while, a whole impala turned into pieces of meat that could be grilled under Wonagu's hands, and after handling the four impalas, he took the lion's skin and carefully wiped the dagger clean, and Wonagu shouted to Lin Yu and Abu in the tent.
"Come out, it's time for dinner."
Lin Yu was just about to go out when he heard Mashak shouting in front of the tent opposite him.
"You'll wait!"
Then he quickly got into the tent on the left, took out a few animal skins from the tent and put them on the ground, ran out and didn't know where to get back a wooden frame, put it in front of the furnace, hung the animal skins on the ground on the wooden frame to block the furnace, walked out a few steps, and saw that the furnace was tightly covered by animal skins, and then said with satisfaction.
"Alright, you can come out."
Lin Yu's angry head in the tent was about to smoke, and he snorted disdainfully, Abu next to him covered his mouth and snickered, glared at Abu, and then walked out of the tent and sat on the edge of the bonfire, without looking at Mashak.
Wonagu smiled awkwardly at Lin Yu, put on a piece of impala meat, and handed it to Lin Yu. Holding an impala meat skewer in his hand and baking it on the bonfire, this meat couldn't help but be roasted, and it was quickly cooked, and a tempting aroma of barbecue wafted to Lin Yu's nose, and his index finger moved. He handed the roasted meat to Abu, who took the meat and bit it hard, and ate it contentedly. Lin Yu smiled, picked up a piece of impala meat again and roasted it himself, seeing that the other minotaurs were busy with other things, and the idle Wonagu and Mashak did not roast meat for themselves, they were a little puzzled.
"Wonagu, won't you eat?"
Wernagu shook his head and said.
"My friend, you are a guest at the Narachi camp, we will eat when you have eaten, this is the tradition of the Nalachi camp."
"Oh, what are so many problems, eat together, it's fine."
Wonagu still shook his head firmly and refused, and Lin Yu didn't continue to persuade Wonagu when he saw this. Do as the locals do.
The meat in his hand was also roasted, and it didn't matter whether it was hot or not, Lin Yu took a bite of the barbecue, and he was about to faint with happiness. This impala meat is outrageous, Lin Yu hasn't eaten much in the past two days, it's not that he is not hungry, but the things here are really not edible, and the minotaur seems to only eat one meal a day, which is dinner. The hungry Lin Yu eliminated the barbecue in his hand at a very fast speed, burped comfortably, and saw that Abu was also full, lying on the ground comfortably, and said with a satisfied face.
"It's a meal that people eat."
The day in Nalaqi's camp became very fast, and there was still the afterglow of the sunset before eating, and when Lin Yu finished eating, it was already dark, and he patted his stomach with satisfaction, and after thanking Wernagu and Lohaku, he took Abu back to the tent.
Lin Yu was full of food and drink, and it was the turn of the minotaurs to eat, and all the minotaurs gathered in a circle, eating a sumptuous dinner in an extremely harmonious atmosphere. Lin Yu, who was hiding in the tent, heard Lohaku brag in a rough voice to the other minotaurs about how he was discerning, and he saw at a glance that Lin Yu was extraordinary and became friends, so much so that he brought back a large amount of ore for the camp. Except for Wernagu and Mashak, who didn't buy his account, the rest of the minotaurs were very face-saving to Lohaku, and Lohaku, who was slapped like a tsunami, was full of spring breeze and laughed loudly. But Lin Yu wondered why Chief Eagle Wind didn't come out to have dinner with them.
"Abu, why didn't the chief come out? Doesn't he have to eat? β
Abu nodded in reply.
"The chief needs to maintain the scorching totem in the tent and generally does not come out. This is also the first time I have seen the chief come out of the tent today, and by the way, uncle, you haven't finished today's story yet. β
Lin Yu touched Abu's head and continued to tell the story that had not been finished before.
"The naΓ―ve Little Red Riding Hood doesn't yet know that danger is looming over her"
The minotaurs outside finished eating and cleaned up the mess in an orderly manner. Abu in the tent was already asleep, and Lin Yu finished the last paragraph.
"In the end, the big bad wolf was sanctioned, and Little Red Riding Hood and the hunter lived happily ever after."
Gently put Abu on the blanket, lay down beside him, staring blankly at the top of the tent, he was going to leave Nalaqi tomorrow, Lin Yu didn't know if he could fulfill the instructions of the Eagle Wind Chief, he wasn't even sure if he could take Abu to survive in the outside world. It turns out that it is a luxury to survive in Azeroth.
Thinking about it, Lin Yu slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep
The next day.
Lin Yu got up early in the morning, woke up Abu who was still asleep next to him, patted his face, and walked out of the tent in good spirits. I thought I had gotten up early enough, but when I got out of the tent, I found that the minotaurs in the camp had already gotten up, except for the old bastard of Marshak, of course.
Out of the tent, Lohaku called Lin Yu to the Eaglewind Chieftain's side, and as soon as he entered the Eaglewind Chief's tent, he listened to him say to himself.
"Guest, are you ready to leave with Abu?"
Lin Yu replied with a slight bow.
"Yes, Chief."
"In that case, you and Abu will leave, and Abu knows how to go out on the way out, so I won't send Lohaku to send you. Lin Yu, I hope you can take good care of Abu. "Chief Eagle Wind didn't mention the things he and Lin Yu had agreed on before, but just asked him to take good care of Abu.
"I know, Chief. Thank you to the Nalaqi Minotaur for taking care of me during this time. Lin Yu once again performed the highest courtesy of the Minotaur race to Chief Eagle Wind, and turned around and walked out of the tent in a dashing manner, without a trace of stagnation.
Luo Haku had been waiting outside the tent, and when he saw Lin Yu coming out, Luo Haku took out a sharp copper dagger and handed it to Lin Yu, and said very freely.
"My best friend, Lin Yu, remember to come back and have a look."
Lin Yu put the dagger into the package, looked at Luo Haku strangely, and saw that there was no trace of reluctance on his face, and asked jokingly.
"Captain, are you so willing to let me go?"
Lohaku replied solemnly.
"You are a capable person, and the outside world is more suitable for you."
Lin Yu thought about it, and said the same, tiptoe and patted Lohaku's shoulder, and called Abu to walk outside the camp.
Out of the camp, Lin Yu and Abu walked towards the mountain road to the south, leaving the only way out of Nalaqi to Mogaolei, there was no harassment of the wild boar people around, and they walked for a long time, under normal circumstances, Lin Yu should have been tired at this time, but this time he didn't, he took Abu, no matter how tired he was, he wouldn't scream, until he reached the end of the mountain road, standing between the two towering totem poles, Lin Yu stopped. Looking back at the Nalachi camp below, the smoke was curling, and the battle between the minotaur and the boar people could be faintly seen around the camp. Holding Abu's hand, Lin Yu said firmly.
"Abu, remember this place, remember the camp of Narachi, and never forget. One day, we will return to our homeland with glory. β
Abu, who had been dull, nodded resolutely with a resolute look in his eyes, greedily watching everything in Nalaqi's camp.
Lin Yu took a few breaths of fresh air, swept away the haze of parting, and took Abu to Mogaolei
In the camp, Lohaku sat across from Chief Hawkwind and asked uncertainly.
"Chief, is it really the best choice to let Abu leave with Lin Yu?"
The Eagle Wind Chief slowly opened his eyes, there was no cloudiness in his eyes, only sharpness and wisdom, and replied firmly to Lohaku.
"He's a human being I can't understand. If Abu follows him, he will slowly grow up and become the most powerful Minotaur warrior, I have no doubt about that. β
