Chapter 201: A Song from the Other World (Part I)

Isn't a birthday the day you were born?

Why do you want to give gifts?

Why are Iru and Leo in such a hurry?

In my memory, the only birthday is when my younger brother Alan turns one year old. At that time, I was just curious about why Alan was wearing a new dress, and asked my parents why they didn't give me a birthday too, but they said that my birthday was early, and my brother and sister's birthday was even earlier, before I was born.

Leo was already in my right corner at the time, and I was distraught and didn't pay much attention to it.

Now that I think about it, birthday is really a special day - compared to the vague algorithm of "collectively growing up one year old after the recovery festival", birthdays accurately tell us which day is the day when we are one year older.

It's just, why give a gift on a birthday?

"Today, fourteen years old," said the priest of Atayal, "the age at which he can marry." ”

Get married......

When I heard this word, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart.

The one she wants to marry is, of course, the son of the lord of Ron City, the young patriarch Pamla.

However, I am not reconciled!

"Time is running out for you!" Leo said, "Prepare an unexpected gift!" ”

"But I don't have anything with me but money!" I say.

"Vulgar! Who says a gift has to be a physical one? Leo said, "Only if it is unexpected and memorable, it is a good gift!" ”

"Then you'll help me think about it!" I say.

"Don't worry, I'm thinking!" Leo said.

"You came home in the morning, just for this thing?" Iru asked.

"Yes and no," Priest Atayal put down the package and sat down on the grass himself, "I was going to hold a banquet to entertain the guests, but I didn't know any of those people, so I came out...... With you, it's much more comfortable than those inexplicable nobles! ”

"That's good!" Iru also sat down, "We'll celebrate your birthday with you!" ”

"Thank you!" Atayal priest opened the baggage and took out a wooden box, "Come on, eat some ...... first"

Inside the baggage were a few portions of bread and dried fruit, a small jar of honey or maple syrup, and a large plate of jerky.

"Wow, that's so much!" Iru was surprised and said, "Can't finish eating, right?" ”

"Why, I know the appetites of Bijon and Bojie," said the priestess of Atayal, "this is certainly not enough, but we will have a good meal after we descend the mountain!" Today, don't go home, don't go back to the temple! ”

I looked at Bojie, smiled a little embarrassedly, and sat down.

The weeds everywhere have not completely withered and yellowed, and you can still feel a little vitality when you sit on it.

Priestess Atayal handed me a piece of bread with something I don't know if it was honey or maple syrup.

"Thank you!" I took it and tasted it, and it was maple sugar.

"You warriors have a great appetite, I'm afraid it's not enough," said the priest of Atayal, "or shall we go to the orchard and buy some more?" ”

"No," I said, "we eat a lot and are hungry!" ”

"Hee-hee!" Priestess Atayal smiled, "Isn't it okay to accompany me for my birthday to starve you?" ”

"It's all right," said Iru, "and it seems that there is this course in the warrior training, which is to test survival in a hungry environment. ”

"There really is!" "I've never tried ...... before," Boje said.

"During the drought, I was hungry too." I said, "It's not just me, it's the whole village, when we're the hungriest and we don't have anything to eat for two days, and many times, we only have one meal a day, and we can only eat half full......

"Really?" Atayal priest seemed incredulous.

"It was the last two years," said Iru, "that there was a drought in the grasslands to the south, and many villages were relocated, and even our town of Sri had a lot of people, and the village of Bihong's Vir was the only one that could hold on." ”

"That's amazing...... Atayal priest said.

"It's nothing," I said, "as long as you live, there's a way to solve any problem......

I remembered the Centaur Territory and the seashore looking for food.

"No wonder it's so strong than Hong!" "Our Centurion said that only after suffering can we burst out stronger......

"Alright, it's not like you're here to starve! Isn't it just a late meal? Iru said, "Look at you two! ”

"Why don't I go to the orchard and buy some?" I said, "I'm running fast, you wait for me!" ”

With that, I got up and ran towards the mountainside.

"Alas, Bighorn ......" Atayal priest tried to stop me.

Yilu persuaded her: "Sister Ata, let him go!" ”

I had already run out for a long time, and then I turned around and said, "Wait a minute, I'll be soon!" ”

"Iru's little girl is sensible." Leo said.

"Leave it alone," I said, "think of a way to prepare a gift!" ”

"Let's go to the orchard first," said Leo, "and see if there are any knick-knacks that are suitable for making gifts." ”

I didn't just run for fun, and soon I was in the orchard.

Finding those farmers, I bought a basket of fresh fruit.

Unfortunately, Leo still didn't think of a good idea.

I carried the fruit back to the spring near the top of the mountain, and happened to meet Bojie fetching water, and we washed the fruit together.

"Wow, Bijon is really fast!" Atayal priest said.

"Of course," I said triumphantly, "I'm faster than the centaurs, and I've won!" ”

"Wow, really?" Priest Atayal said, "Didn't I hear you talk about it when I was escorting the fox messenger?" ”

"I didn't think about it at the time." I say.

"You weren't an adult at the time, were you?" Iru said.

"Of course," I said, "and cut, I captured the centaur!" ”

"It's amazing!" Atayal priest said, "Come, sit down, I love to hear these stories." ”

"And you killed him?" Iru said.

"That's for sure!" "Whoever sees a centaur would do that, right?" ”

"Really?" Atayal priest was a little surprised, and a little unbearable.

"No," I said, "it was a centaur who had escaped from his clan, and besides, he didn't think we minotaurs should have such a deep hatred for them, and he said that his dream was to be a wandering ranger adventurer, and I let him go." ”

"Oh, I see......" Atayal priest seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"How can you let it go!" Bojie was a little depressed, "Centaurs deserve to die!" ”

"That's it!" Yilu patted him, "Actually, the hatred between the entire Minotaur and the centaur is not so deep, only in the south of us, because of the territorial problem, the entire Minotaur clan, in fact, the biggest enemy is still the wolf clan, and the centaur can only be regarded as the back." ”

"How can this be ......" Bojie seemed a little difficult to accept.

"They're all members of the orcs, so why do they have such a deep hatred?" Atayal priest said.

"There are many reasons," I said, "the simplest is for the territory, for the food, that is, for survival, and of course, for the greater ones, because of faith." ”

"Makes sense......" Atayal priest nodded.

"Hey, don't talk about these heavy topics," said Iru, "It's Sister Ata's birthday, so have some fun!" ”

"Yes, it's fun," said Priest Atayal, "enough of the troubles of life and work......

"Happy topic," said Bojie, "every time you go out on a mission, you bring back a lot of interesting stories, so don't you do the missions too?" ”

"yes, yes," said Iru, "let's tell the story!" ”

"Have you thought about it?" I asked Leo.

"Don't rush, there will be a gift," said Leo, "you talk first, I'll prepare, and then I'll get back to the city." ”

"I'm not at ease with the way you look......" I said.

"If you don't worry, forget it!" Leo said angrily, "It's not that I want to chase others, it's a big deal to make up for it later, see if you're in a hurry!" ”

"Okay, okay, think slowly!" I say.

Then, we sat down on the grass and started eating fruit snacks while chatting about the interesting people we met during the mission.

"Hahaha, really?" Bojie almost rolled with laughter, "It's still the militia, you actually peed your pants!" ”

"Really!" I said, "Just go out at the south gate and go out to the first town, and call it the hotel town!" ”

"Huh!" Iru said disgustedly, "Let you talk about funny, how can you talk about such disgusting things!" ”

"Haha, it's really not good...... Priest Atayal said.

Immediately, she saw that I was a little embarrassed and spoke for me again: "However, Bihon really hasn't participated in too many missions, and he doesn't have many stories to tell, so I can forgive me...... Well, it's time for me to talk about one, last time, I went to the east ......"

The topic was originally a little embarrassing, but she skillfully resolved it, and I was also moved in my heart.

We're just telling stories, eating snacks, and watching the scenery one by one. The sun just went down little by little.

Soon, most of Thunder City had fallen into the shadows, and only the sun was still shining on the top of the hill where we were.

Soon, night began to fall.

Later, I really had nothing to talk about, and I told me about my hometown, even my brother's wedding.

"It's funny," said Priest Atayal, "so your wedding is like this......"

The topic suddenly became a little dull.

"Wow, the stars are out!" Iru was very good at taking care of the atmosphere, and lay on her back on the grass all of a sudden.

"Yes......" Atayal priest lay down as well.

Bojie and I looked at each other and lay down as well.

Looking at the stars, I remembered shooting stars.

Leo suddenly snorted: "Lie down, on the grass under the starry sky, all the hearts and things are spread out for you to see...... Ah, there you have it, give her a song, a song written especially for her, a song from another world! ”
