Chapter 49: Surprise (I)

The way back to the village was particularly smooth.

The things on the car obviously did not decrease, and everyone's footsteps, even those of Kodomon, were exceptionally brisk......

It only took three and a half days for us to return to the village of Ville.

There is nothing big in the village, but the hunting team has not gone out to hunt for the past few days, and there is no fresh meat to eat.

However, everyone was as happy that day as if a caravan had come to the village.

The next day, everyone continued to hunt and hunt, and the days returned to their usual peace.

In Leo's words, it is a kind of "so-called, poetic pastoral life that is desirable at first, bored after a long time, and desperate after a long time".

I don't know if he's praising or derogating, but I can see that he's not very happy with this life.

He was desperately looking forward to getting out of here.

And I, because of him, will have to leave here sooner or later.

The difference is that I'm happy with this life.

So, I was reluctant to leave.

However, the time of my departure has been slowly approaching.

More than a year has passed since Leo's arrival. That's a lot going on this year......

I even quietly asked my grandfather how when I was three years old, the villager was possessed by the undead, brutally killed his own family, and even his own child, and was killed by the villagers after being cured.

This incident happened in the village of Beizu, and it is said that the family was still very close to Aunt Rena's house, and now there is only one elderly person left in the family.

And the person in charge of raising the old man was none other than Bida, who lost the game with me during a family visit last year, and his father's surname was Kade, who was the village chief and hunting captain of the village of Bezu.

I asked about this carefully, for fear of arousing my grandfather's suspicions, but he only told me that because there were no shamans in the village of Beizu, only an elder priest who barely knew the shaman's incantations, he could not communicate with the elemental energy and the natural spirits to appease the dead souls.

So Grandpa said, "Every village always needs such a shaman!" Now, you inherit my mantle, Ian has learned that you can go to Bezu Village, and I can rest assured......"

When he talked about it, I suddenly felt a little lost in my heart.

I thought that the homeless Ian was now a student of his grandfather and would be a priest in the village, but now it seems that there is still no one in the village to inherit.

Autumn came, the weather began to get cooler again, and I spent every day hunting, studying, teaching, and secretly training, and I never felt happy.

The plan to leave home has encountered new troubles.

However, things always take some unexpected turns.

Just as every hunt I participate in will lead to an unexpected harvest, I feel that the appearance of Leo has also brought a new change to my destiny.

The word "fate" was taught to me by my grandfather.

Because he was going to teach me divination.

Although I haven't reached the point where I can communicate with the spirits of nature.

According to Leo, this is something called "aura", such as "protagonist aura", "mockery aura" and the like.

Anyway, I got to know the thing about fate.

It can be divined, predestined, and changed.

Grandpa is going to teach me divination, and divination is a predestined fate.

And Leo's existence, or the arrival of a meteor, is a changed fate.

It is precisely because of this that my departure may become a foregone conclusion.

In winter, the goblin merchant arrives again.

This time, they were much more honest and didn't dare to play any tricks.

And the people in the village have also come up with more abundant goods than in previous years – because of my participation, this year's harvest has almost doubled compared to last year.

After the goblin merchant left, the weather became colder and colder.

The little ones wore horn covers.

I put on the horn cover given by Sister Spring, but it aroused Leo's strong dissatisfaction.

So, I gave the horn cover to Ian.

Now, Ian has become a member of our family even though he doesn't have a lot of cars.

At this time, I inevitably thought back to the old beggar in the town of Sri, who had no one to raise.

I don't know if anyone wants to take care of the poor old man.

I saw that the mayor's house not only had a shop, but also a very large house, and the mayor's son did not have to do farm work and housework, so it was estimated that there was enough food to take in the old man.

I thought again, when I had the next chance, I would see him.

Time flies unhurriedly, and soon, the recovery festival is here again.

This time, Ian and I were on the vigil with my grandfather.

When visiting relatives, my mother only brought my sister and my younger brother, who was just crawling on the ground.

I didn't go, nor did I participate in the Trainee Warriors' tournament, because I am now a member of the hunting party.

But I'm not an adult either.

There are still four years to go until the coming-of-age ceremony, because by spring we will be nine years old.

And the twist of fate happened when I was visiting my relatives -

Aunt Rena from Bezu still came back with her cousin Patu.

At the same time, those who returned to visit relatives naturally included Bida Card, who became a trainee soldier. Bida still wants to challenge me, but unfortunately he is no longer qualified.

Grandpa randomly gave Patou a test, and it turned out that he had a good shamanic talent.

Aunt Rena was overjoyed, and Grandpa was overjoyed - now, there are three shaman successors in Ville Village!

I was also stunned by this twist of fate.

Leo still insists on his opinion, saying that it is my "halo" that brings luck to the people in the village.

He said: "This is called a person to attain the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, young man, you must know that this is the welfare of the traverser......"

Whether what he says is true or not, it's a good thing anyway.

In this way, I can leave with peace of mind and no worries.

My dad and brother are both powerful warriors, and with my druid brother who will be even stronger in the future, a shamanic cousin, and Ian, who is slowly becoming a family, I don't have to worry about my family's safety anymore.

Although, I really can't bear them.

Although, it was Leo who saved them......

Anyway, the schedule for leaving was probably decided, and I had a rough direction for what I was going to do after I left—the words of my father and Uncle Sanji on that night in Sri Town gave me a direction.

I can join the army.

It is said that the Minotaur army is very strong in the entire orc race, the strongest of all the Minotaur warriors, and the weakest of them is also stronger than Dad - Dad just barely meets the minimum requirements to join them.

And I, if I grow up fast enough, will probably be qualified as an adult.

By joining the army, you can not only protect more minotaurs, but also meet more powerful people, learn more powerful warrior skills, shaman skills, and even druid skills!

More urgently, if Leo suddenly becomes stronger, takes possession of my body, and turns me into an evil murderer, those powerful warriors can easily kill me and Leo without harming the innocent.

This is the most perfect plan I have come up with after thinking about it!

Even Leo didn't know.

In fact, I can also perceive that as I get stronger, Leo is also getting stronger.

The changes brought about by the meteor not only affected me, but also affected him.

Thankfully, although our communication was in my heart, as long as I deliberately hid it from him, he couldn't "hear" what I was thinking.

When my aunt returned with this good news, the footsteps of spring were getting closer and closer.

I have a plan in mind, so I am naturally full of hope for life, and I work harder when I train.

I'm getting stronger and stronger.

Leo said: "That's right, in order to leave the novice village as soon as possible, come on, Sao Nian!" ”

When the first summer rain fell, my cousin Patu officially came to our house and began to learn shamanic skills.

And Ian, as before, taught him shamanic mantras.

Just as I was teaching Patu to learn the mantra, something even more exciting happened!

Speaking of which, Ian is much better than me when it comes to learning spells.

If Leo hadn't helped me, I might have had to learn more than ten times to memorize, but Ian only needed three or four times to memorize.

Poor Patu brother, who has the same talent as me, has learned it more than ten times before he remembers it.

At this time, I suddenly realized that this Leo was learning much faster than me. Oh no, the day I became an official shaman, he could have become a shaman too!

Thinking of this, I broke out in a cold sweat for having missed such a terrible fact......

Grandpa was next to us boiling herbs for Ian to drink.

He put a freshly dripping herb that had just been pulled down and put it into the soup pot by root.

At that moment, I saw a spirit of nature emerging from the herb.

It was a small green dot of light.

It seemed to be frightened of the boiling water below, and panicked to escape.

Grandpa's hand waved slightly, ready to press it into the boiling water.

I heard it crying out in horror: "Squeak ......"

I couldn't help but say, "Come here!" ”

It heard me, broke free of Grandpa's hand, and floated towards me in a panic.

Grandpa looked at me in surprise, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Bihon? You're ......"

Yes, I became an official shaman at the age of nine!

This, in fact, is not the best thing.

The best thing was that Leo cried out in pain at the time, "Ahhh

Then, his voice was gone.

And then it never sounded!
