Chapter 52: Heart-to-Heart Talk (II)
Chapter 52: Heart-to-Heart Talk (II)
Mad cow disease?
Bundle up treatment?
I suddenly thought of the neighboring villager who was possessed by the undead and burned to death......
It's scary to think about!
Luckily, none of this happened to me.
Looking back now, when I started training after listening to Leo's words, I really thought that no one knew my secret......
However, Dad's next words put me at ease.
He looked at the uncles walking slowly not far away, and said, "They all think that running in the village and doing those strange tree climbing movements were all taught by your grandfather, but in fact, we all know that it is the revelation of the mother god, which is a gift that others can't learn...... But you see, you've become so smart, and you're so strong, and that's not what anyone taught...... Who could make a child become a warrior stronger than an adult so quickly, and at the same time become a shaman so early? All this is arranged by the Mother Goddess! ”
I began to be surprised again.
After doing it for a long time, grandpa and dad thought that all this was a gift from Mother Earth God?
They didn't know about Leo's existence?
That's just, great!
At least they won't think I've been bewitched by the devil!
Even better, Leo is dead!
Although, in fact, I can't be happy in my heart......
However, when I thought about this, my worries were completely put down.
Especially after Dad said the next words -
He said, "So, then again, you already have such a good talent, you have to take back the glory of your ancestors!" The little village of Ville is no longer for you! ”
What he meant was, I should still go out.
I was still a little reluctant to say, "But, I, I don't want to leave you......"
After all, Leo is dead, and there is no need for me to leave again.
Dad patted me on the shoulder and said, "There are more and better things waiting for you in the outside world!" Especially the little girl......"
I said, "I can't leave you!" ”
Dad smiled: "People who have a future will be homesick wherever they go, but those who stay with their families forever and don't dare to go out will never be productive!" Come home when you have a chance, we are still waiting for you! When the time comes, the Doon family will be proud of you! ”
I said, "I, can't I stay?" ”
Dad hesitated for a moment and said, "If you insist on staying, there is no way, after all, when you are an adult, I can't beat you......"
I understood what he meant, and said with a smile, "I know, I will take back the glory of the Doon family!" But, am I going to Thunder City to find the Lord of Bloodhoof? Or find a centurion to defeat him! ”
Dad laughed: "How is it possible, even if you are an adult, you are at most a little stronger than me, and even the ten captains in the army can easily clean you up!" Don't think that if you have the gift of the Mother Goddess, you will be great, you must know that every powerful Minotaur warrior has been blessed by the Mother Goddess, especially those centurions and thousands! ”
I said, "I see...... I'll go back and prepare! ”
Dad said, "What's the hurry, you're just a little kid now, and others don't want you when you go, so let's go when you're an adult!" ”
I kind of understood what Dad meant by pulling me aside.
These things were actually discussed by him and his grandfather a long time ago, but he was just waiting for such an opportunity to say it.
But that's fine.
Now I'm no longer an unlucky ghost possessed by a demon.
I am a gifted warrior and shaman blessed by Mother Earth!
Of course, if I have the chance, I will learn the druid skills again, and it will be even stronger.
No matter how hard it is, I want to be a centurion like my ancestors!
When the time comes, I can return to the village of Ville with the glory of my ancestors!
Thinking about it, I also think it would be a good choice to leave.
Thinking about it again, before, I had never considered leaving the village of Vale, and after the meteor brought Leo with me, I was forced to leave, but I never thought that before I left, he was already dead. If you're dead, you're dead, I thought I could stay without his threat, but my father let me go outside again......
Sometimes, fate can be changed, just like talent.
However, fate changes too quickly, changing back and forth back to the original path, just like running circles around the village, no matter how many laps you run, no matter how tired you are, you will still return to the starting point......
I'd rather believe that it's all a meteor that has changed.
And the meteor is still the child of Mother Earth God, right?
Well, all this is arranged by Mother Earth.
In that case, then I accept it!
After a long heart-to-heart conversation with my father, I realized that for more than a year, they have cared for me and hoped for me no less than I worried about their safety!
This is my family!
I am willing to accept such a fate for them.
The conversation didn't last long, and soon we were back in the group and headed straight to the east.
Soon, we were at the place where the meteor fell that night.
The little grove was still there, and that night, I didn't see it clearly.
It was a sparse grove of trees, and the number of trees could be easily counted - less than twenty saplings were less than half the size of our house.
That night, in the moonlight, I thought the forest was quite large, and I had never been here in the days that followed, but I never thought it was so small.
I still remember where I fell.
There are dense weeds.
Everyone seemed to remember what had happened here and looked at me with a grin.
An uncle said, "I remember, that time, little Bihon was so scared that he peed his pants......"
My eyes widened and I said, "How is that possible?" ”
Immediately, another uncle said, "You're mistaken, it's Kate who pees her pants, not Bihon!" ”
Uncle Sanji seemed a little upset.
You didn't stay here for too long, and just moved on.
The further you go, the more and more groves like this, and the trees get taller and taller.
It is said that to the southeast, there is the forest, where centaurs and boar people live.
Now, after the continuous sweep of the patrol team sent by the army, they no longer dare to approach the steppe easily.
However, we still need to be careful.
The harvest of this trip is as rich as ever.
Everyone still keeps praising me, and it's all because of me.
I've been able to accept their praise without any fuss, and I know that it all has something to do with me, and it's arranged by Mother Earth God.
We returned with a full load, and the village was still happy.
Then, my grandfather and I presided over the sacrificial ceremony.
The strongest prey we hunted was a demonic elk, and my father and I worked together to kill this elk that could control the energy of the earth element, under the cover of Uncle Sanchi's bow and arrows.
There were three archers in the village, and except for Uncle Sanchi, the bows and arrows of the other two uncles could not help at all.
In fact, in the face of these powerful enemies, the power of the bow and arrow is simply too weak.
No wonder even Kate doesn't look down on Uncle Sanchi's profession.
My grandfather and I placed the head of the monster elk in the middle of the altar, and then I recited the incantation aloud - it was the first time I had performed a ritual.
Although I had listened to him dozens of times behind my grandfather, and I had read it hundreds of times in private, I always felt a little uncomfortable when I read it out in front of the whole village for the first time.
Dad and brother stood in the front row of the crowd, full of pride, and Mom hugged her brother and stood in the back with her sister all smiles.
Looking at them, I was no longer nervous and read it out loud.
"Abu Anian, Ahai Mama, Amen Thou Nei, Na Ben Lazar Gong Lei ......"
It roughly means "Great Mother Goddess, and the ancestors of the Minotaurs, your descendants and grandchildren offer you the freshest prey, please taste it!" Please be, under the earth, above the sky, you must bless your children and future generations with peace and security, and live a worry-free life......"
After reading, my grandfather still helped me.
He led everyone to chant three times.
"Mother Earth Goddess Protection!"
"Mother Earth Goddess Protection!"
"Mother Earth Goddess Protection!"
Everyone knelt down with them.
In addition to me and my grandfather, there were also Patu and Ian next to me.
At the end of the ritual ceremony, I extracted the elk's nature spirit from the revelation according to the skill given by my grandfather.
Immediately, without my hands, the Kodo horns at the four corners of the altar threw out four chains that were invisible to ordinary people, and firmly bound the elk's natural spirit to the altar.
The prey of the last sacrifice was a wild boar king that was slightly larger than an ordinary wild boar, but the wild boar king had not yet become a demonic beast, and it didn't last long, and it dissipated under the binding of chains.
The elk's spirit of nature, like the monster elephant earlier, lasted for more than two days before slowly dissipating.
Two days later, there were no demonic beasts in the prey we brought back, so we sacrificed casually.
In the days that followed, my grandfather began to teach me divination.
