Chapter 3 The Rite of Passage of the Men of the Angolan Zerg

The Angolan steppe, originally called the Kalas Savannah, was the land of the human Plataean Empire. After the alliance between the human god system and the Angolan Zerg god system, one-third of the territory that originally belonged to the Platian Empire was planned for the Zerg god system, and this territory was located directly above the Angolan Zerg underground empire.

It turned out to be a beautiful land, with forests covering the land, and clear rivers crumbling between the ravines of the earth. However, due to the war between the Angolan god system and the earth dragon god system, this land has been greatly affected, in just a few years, a large number of green vegetation has disappeared in this land, and the number of wild beasts has gradually decreased, and only some of the tenacious beasts survived.

Before the land was divided among the Zerg, the inhabitants of this suddenly anomalous land had been transferred by the Platian Empire in accordance with the oracle. After being divided into the Zerg, another group of imperial citizens consciously left. Only a small number of citizens of the Platian Empire, who were reluctant to leave their homeland, remained. In order to deepen the understanding of humans and the Angoran Zerg, the Platian Empire did not forcibly relocate them.

When Noron was looking for a prop that could help me communicate with the Angora Zerg in front of me, I had already prepared a draft of my origin in my heart: I am a peripheral mage from the Pradian Empire's mage guild 'Novoda'. When I heard about the war, I became curious about a race I had never seen before, and I came to help. Novinda means exchange, which is a loose and medium-sized mage guild that only holds an opportunity to communicate and discuss with each other once every three years, and there are no activities on a regular basis. On top of that, it has a decent number of unregistered outland mages. In the game, I spent a period of time in this guild from mage apprentice to intermediate mage, and I won't be revealed if asked.

He weaves up his origins while searching for props that can help in his oversized backpack. After about two minutes, he really found a prop that could solve the problem of language barriers: the Soul Dialogue Orb.

Psychic Orb (Epic) LV1. As long as two people hold the orb in their hands, they can achieve a spiritual dialogue, and the spiritual dialogue automatically translates different languages and accents. (Do you want to have a love that understands each other's thoughts even if they don't talk to each other?) Psychic Orbs can help you make your wishes come true. As long as 998, the Soul Dialogue Orb will be taken home! )

In the game, everyone can voice chat, and the language and writing are all racial passive talents, so you don't need this thing. The Orb of Mind is made of a fist-sized sapphire, which I think would be a great decoration to put in my backpack. But in the real world, Chinese characters cannot be understood, and the language is not universal, and the Idea Orb comes in handy.

Noron took out the Mind Orb, and the pair of compound eyes of the insect man on the opposite side suddenly lit up, even the Angora Zerg, who can often dig up precious gems, there are not many sapphires that can grow so big. So Noron pressed the orb to the ground, put his hand on it, and motioned to the Angora Zerg on the other side to do the same.

The insect man on the other side looked at Noron and waved his hand, using those two carapace covered legs (or feet?) Approaching, he slowly stretched out a hand, then quickly retracted it, rubbed it hard (really hard, I could hear the crunch of the heavy carapace rubbing), and carefully placed it on the Mind Dialogue Orb. Seeing this, Noron calmed down and focused his attention and tried to talk to it: "Dear Angolan Zerg friend, I am a mage from the Human Platia Empire, my name is Noron Bolton, may I ask where is this?" How far is the nearest Terran gathering place? ”

The Angora worm looked at me strangely, a little confused, but still made a sound trying to talk to me.

"Don't say it, just think about what you want to say."

The insect man on the other side was stunned for a moment, and after almost a minute, Noron remembered a shy girl's voice in his mind: "You, hello, respected human friend, my name is Nala, I am the great warrior of the Angolan Zerg, and I am holding a coming-of-age ceremony. This is the Angolan steppe, which is what you humans call the western part of the Kalas savannah. The closest human gathering place to this is where the human Platian Empire's Third Army Riptide Heavy Cavalry Regiment is stationed in our city. ”

Well, that's a long way off. It seems that the Angola Zerg has not been around this savannah for long. Noron remembered that in the third year of the alliance between the human gods and the Angolan Zerg, the Angolan Zerg had established a city called 'Angnius' on this savannah, which symbolized a strong friendship. Before the city is established, the Angolan Zerg need to perform 1 or 2 coming-of-age ceremonies on this land, so that the blessing of the Zerg god system can envelop this grassland.

The coming-of-age ritual of the Angora Zerg is to let the soon-to-be-adult Angola Zerg walk around the land at will. When they decide on their gender, they will wipe their bodies with holy water brought from the temple, and then the Angora Zerg will perform different rituals depending on the gender they want to change.

Angora worms who want to become male will perform a war dance, and as the dance progresses, their carapace will gradually become cloudy and heavy, and eventually fade from their bodies, and masculine features will appear. The fading carapace was their god-given armor and weapons.

Angora worms who want to become women will take the fruits of the temple and go to sleep. As they sleep, their carapaces first soften, become smaller, detach from their bodies, and then harden, and finally turn into God-given gems of varying sizes. When they wake up from a deep sleep, they develop feminine features. Later, the Angolan Zerg women would use the Zerg Temple secret method to set the gems on their new carapace, which would become a source of power for them to use the Zerg magic in the future.

That's right, there is no distinction between male and female before the rite of passage of the Angora Zerg. Nolon also saw the Zerg in front of him with a bottle of Angora Temple's characteristic potion of adulthood, and only then did he know that she had come out to hold a coming-of-age ceremony.

"Then Dear Miss Zerg, could you please lead me to the human army's garrison after the ceremony? I don't think they're going to turn down a mage who has come from afar to help. ”

"Yes, Dear Mr. Human. Then please wait for the night, and tomorrow morning after the ceremony I will take you to our town, where you will be welcome to my house. Also, I decided to be a man! ”

I was stunned when I heard this, and looked carefully at the insect man opposite, I never thought that the zerg with such a beautiful girl's voice would want to become a man.

"Also, I'm really sorry just now. Your screams scared me, I thought you were going to attack me, and I knocked you out, so it must be your human greeting behavior, right? I sincerely apologize to you for my recklessness. ”

He lowered his head and pressed the remaining five forelimbs against his chest, apologizing to Noron, who hurriedly stopped him.

"No, it's not just your fault, and I shouldn't have yelled at strangers. Let it all drift away in a drizzle. We're friends now, aren't we? ”

Nala was a little agitated and started screaming at me again. Then, as if remembering something, he gave me a small ball like a jelly bean from his bag and motioned for Noron to eat it.

Of course Noron didn't dare to just eat it, what if he kept lying to me, this is a pill that will be controlled if you eat it? At this moment, the divine pattern on Nolon's forehead suddenly sent out a chill, and a line of small words appeared on the sugar pill in his hand.

Voice-changing Eggs Refined by the Gods (Epic) LV1. This is a special prop created by Antula, the bard god of the Zerg, in order to facilitate communication between humans and the Zerg, so that humans can use the Zerg language. It was only refined in the first few years when the Zerg first came into contact with humans, and then it became priceless. Of course, the Zerg script still has to be learned by yourself. (After eating this egg, we are good friends!) )

Noron rubbed his eyes in surprise and found that the small lines of small words would appear as he focused his mind, and when he didn't concentrate, the small words disappeared. Noron endured his discomfort and swallowed the epic artifact from the gods.

"How's that, can you understand me?" The girl's beautiful voice is like a dingdong spring water hitting the calm lake, which is very sweet and beautiful.

What a hell! What you heard just now was the sound of grinding your teeth, but now it has become a crisp girlish yellow oriole sound. It's really a gods, it's a real miracle. He looked at the Angora bug friend next to him who couldn't be cute, and was confused by this beautiful voice.

"Well, that's fine," Nolon said, realizing that he was using a language he had never heard before. This is unlike any other language spoken on Earth, since no one speaks by striking their teeth up and down. He looked at Nala's big teeth and decided that it would be better to use less Angora Zerg in the future.

"So, Burton?" Nala seemed a little hesitant to call Noron by his first name, but Noron nodded at him, and he quickly got used to it: "Please also enjoy our Zerg war dance on the side." The war dance is a sacred ritual and is not used for performances, making it difficult for foreign friends to see. ”

With that, Nala took out a piece of silk cloth woven with mysterious patterns from the bag beside him, dipped it in the holy water poured from the bottle and began to wipe his body. After about half an hour, he finished wiping it up, and the holy water was just used up, and then he picked up the double knives on the side and began to dance the ancient and solemn adult war dance of the Zerg around the fire.

At first, he swung his twin knives and forelimbs and lunged forward, and then quickly instigated his wings to leap to the side, followed by several successive movements. Even Norlong, who had no military training, could see that this war dance was still a clever combat skill. Through Nala's war dance, Noron seemed to see the scene of the ancient Angolan Zerg ancestors using this set of combat skills to fight bravely.

After about three hours, Nala stopped dancing and began to retreat. Noron could hear Nala's teeth clashing up and down, letting out a dull pain**. Shedding the shell is a choice only made by the resolute and brave male warriors of the Angolan Zerg, which is equivalent to peeling a layer of skin off the body alive, which is very painful. Noron looked at this scene and was a little inexplicably touched.
