Chapter 26: Growing Up (Part II)

I don't know what Leo was surprised about, but I did know that he was a little scared of anger.

Of course, even the other orcs are very respectful to the angry warriors.

When Dad killed the Shippi hippopotamus, he relied on anger.

Speaking of which, anger is also a bit like elemental energy, but it is difficult to master, and it must be strong enough to be used occasionally by the strongest warrior like Dad.

In fact, shamans and druids are only a small part of the elemental energy, and if they really have to fight hard, it is really impossible to say who is more powerful.

But I just think the druids are a little bit better......

Leo continued to fuss: "So, how are you now?" Do you feel like you're getting angry? ”

I said angrily, "If you want to practice anger, it's still early!" ”

Leo said, "Well, I already have a new training program!" ”

I said, "Come on, I feel like it's not going to be difficult anymore." ”

Leo smiled: "In this case, I'm not welcome, it seems that you have reached the level of challenging triathlon, but the conditions seem to be insufficient......"

I said, "What conditions?" ”

"The first is swimming...... Well, isn't there enough creek next to the village, is there a lake or the sea nearby? I heard that your side is in the southeast of the mainland, so you should be close to the sea, right? ”

I said, "The sea? Yes, just behind the forest to the southeast, the domain of our sworn enemies, centaurs and boarmen! Do you want me to go there and die? ”

Leo said: "It seems that there is no drama......

I said, "What triathlon, there should be three training methods, and what about the other two?" ”

Leo said with some disappointment: "The second item is bicycles, how can there be bicycles here?" Forget it, all that's left is running! However, I had to change it, run with weights, carry the stones from the training ground, and then, with the stones with me, throw a stone every time I run to the edge of the woods, and I have to hit the target! For the time being, this can only be changed...... By the way, if you are idle, you can also help the people in the village to grind! ”

I laughed, "You're not doing this a new way!" ”

Leo said, "What can I do?" You are poor and backward here, and you have no advantage except that the air is a little cleaner than the earth! None of my methods worked...... Otherwise, just getting a set of gym equipment can train you to be a macho like Governor Arnold! ”

I started a new training, but I didn't forget to laugh at him: "Why do you come here because you always say that your earth is so good?" Still thinking about aggression, occupation, hegemony or something all day long, are you tired? Annoying? ”

Leo began to lie again: "Alas, you can't understand it, you can't understand it, you can't understand the desperate situation of material abundance but spiritual emptiness, and hopeless future, forget it......"

His clumsy lie is completely ineffective, but he still insists on saying it, is it funny?

In the Beastskin Book of the Old Troll of the Chamber of Commerce, I also saw the abyssal hell where the demons lived—it was dark, and the air was filled with the fiery and pungent smell of sulfur. When my grandfather was teaching me how to make shamanic potions, I smelled the sulfur, which he had bought from a troll merchant, and it was only a little bit the size of his little finger, which was very choking.

Thinking about the smell of sulfur everywhere in the Abyss of Hell, I can understand that Leo's sentence "except that the air is a little cleaner than the earth......" should be the only truth......

Ignoring his nonsense, I began to find a way for him to continue training.

It's really more tiring to watch the stones run than before, but I can still persevere, but it's a bit harder to throw stones and hit the target every time I run through the woods.

At least, on the first day, I missed the back except for a few hits in the front.

Leo laughed at me in turn, and although I was a little unconvinced, I quickly mastered it.

I was already able to hit a leaf dozens of paces away with a stone in a quick run, but I didn't know what it was for.

Think about those demons who have invaded the continent in history, do they also attack in this way? I'm afraid not......

I guess Leo is playing tricks on me!

However, before I could ask questions, Leo had some new tricks, but in reality, there was nothing creative.

I got it to grips quickly, and he was surprised and said, "Don't you think you're learning too fast?" ”

I said, "Really? ”

He said: "You see, Kate has been practicing on the training ground for two months, and in fact, she may not be as good as you......"

I said, "Of course, I've been practicing for more than half a year!" ”

Leo said, "No, I mean, he's not as good as you were when you practiced for two months. ”

I said, "You're trying to boast about your training methods, aren't you?" Don't be beautiful, our Doon family is so strong, Kate is only a little older than me, so he is stronger than me, in fact, he and Uncle Sanji are more suitable for archers......"

Leo said, "Don't talk to me about this!" You don't even dare to admit that you are better than your brother now! Because you're growing faster than a normal minotaur! ”

I have to admit that I didn't dare to face it.

In fact, after returning from visiting my family, I rarely play with my friends. To be precise, since there is more of this soul in my body, I rarely play with them, and I don't talk much to adults.

According to Mom and Kate's Mom, I'm sensible, just like Kate who lost her grandmother.

Sensible, growing, is what it means to become like an adult, right?

Then, in terms of what I say and do, I have grown.

And in terms of strength, I'm also growing.

I have mastered the simplest shamanic skills, and I am about to become a new shaman, and at the same time, thanks to Leo's training methods, I have mastered the skills that are not inferior to those of warriors.

I can't argue with that.

Leo said again: "It's a pity, such a talent, such a growth speed, should have been enjoyed by me!" ”

I laughed: "You should never think about it!" ”

Leo smiled and stopped talking.

Outside of training, I continued to drink herbal soup and practice using my mind to control my feathers and communicate with the elemental energy and natural spirits floating in the air, as my grandfather said.

The practice of using mental power to control the rain in the rain that day was actually the most "strenuous work" that grandpa said. Of course, the more labor-saving method requires a strong enough mind to master.

Slowly, the summer is getting deeper and deeper, and the rain is getting more and more.

The two apprentice warrior brothers, who have just turned thirteen this year, have passed the adult trials and become new members of the hunting party.

The rite of passage was presided over by Grandpa and Dad, who recognized as a priest that they were new members of the Minotaur clan, and Dad welcomed them into the hunting party.

Kate and the other trainee warriors all looked at the adult warriors with excitement.

I was also envious, but what I thought of more was leaving.

When I grow up, I'll have to get out of here.

I can't be like them to protect the village, I can't be like them, I can't hunt for my family, I can't hunt for the rich food for the village, and I can't be by my relatives' side.

It's sad to think about.

So, I followed my grandfather, but I bowed my head a little sadly.

Afterwards, my brother also comforted me and said: "What's sad, your coming-of-age ceremony is almost here, wait, well, I've been waiting for two years......"

Of course, I wouldn't laugh at him for not counting accurately, I just nodded.

After the coming-of-age ceremony, everyone had a hearty drink and made delicious food from the beasts that the two new members had hunted during the trials to share with the whole village.

In the trial, their deeds will become their honorary titles.

For example, Dad's full name is Rook Iron Axe Doon, his brother's full name is Denis Iron Fist Doon, and Grandpa's full name is Tal Stone Staff Doon...... The Stone Staff was later obtained when he led the minotaurs of the villagers and other villages to repel the centaur bandits.

The titles of these two new members, one is called Stone Elbow and the other is called Copper Head.

Generally, people who leave home will only use their own real names and titles, and family names are only common in the clan.

Leo asked, "What title do you want?" ”

I said, "Whatever...... If you want to go out in the future, then choose one that makes people scared when you hear it! I've heard that the first warrior of the Minotaur clan is called Bane Bloodhoof, and it's a little scary to think about, I, my name is Bloodstaff? Blood Horn? Blood axe? ”

Leo said: "Hey, hey, I told you earlier, choose a sword, the sword is the best!" The most handsome and coolest! Do you understand? You'd better use that shield too, and by the way, I'm going to have to practice your shield fighting skills! ”

I asked, "Is it called a blood shield?" ”

Leo shouted: "Blood Sword, Bloodthirsty Sword, Angry Blood Sword, Violent Blood Sword, Blue Blood Sword, as long as there is a sword, you can call it anything!" In short, stop thinking about those stupid sticks, axes, hammers, and even more so about stepping on them with hooves and using horns! ”
