Chapter 21: Determination
Chapter 21: Determination
We spent three days in the village of Vail.
During this time, I found opportunities to chat with my grandfather and uncle, trying to find ways to learn druid skills.
Grandpa said, "I'm old, and your two uncles don't have this talent, and the real druid inheritance is probably going to study in Srui Town." But why do you ask this? Aren't you learning shamanic skills? β
I said, "I just want to hear the story...... Grandpa told me a lot of shaman stories, but was it true that he said that druids could turn into powerful beasts? β
Grandpa gave a rare smile and said, "I don't want your grandfather to be so good at telling stories, and I'm not a priest in the village, so where can I tell any stories?" Go ahead, go and play with your cousin! β
As he spoke, he pulled out a handful of dried fruits and nuts from his strange coat and stuffed them into me.
If I had been, I would have believed my grandfather's words.
Now I know that he just doesn't want to teach me druid skills.
Leo said, "What? Do you still want to be a druid and a shaman? β
I said, "Can't you?" β
Leo said: "Druids are in the company of wilderness and forests, similar to wild beasts, in order to transform into wild beasts, can you stand such a life?" β
I could tell that he was scared too.
Once I've mastered my druid skills and shaman skills, I'll be able to defeat him and destroy him!
I took the snack from my grandfather and ran out.
On the way, I met my eldest uncle, and the result was the same. He didn't want to say it, and lied to me that he didn't learn anything.
I had to go to my cousin.
In the past two days, Morgan came to challenge me again, and I lost, and as a result, the children of Duo Die Village knew how good I was, and their attitude towards Ville Village was much better.
Before returning home, my grandfather suddenly said to my brother in my mother's arms: "This kid has a bit of a druid talent...... What's the name? β
My heart moved, and I quietly pricked up my ears to listen.
Mom said, "You just can't remember it after saying it several times, his name is Alan!" I'll send him back when he's older! The Doon family already has warriors and shamans, and it would be nice to have one more druid! β
My grandfather said, "It's okay, I'll discuss it with my in-laws...... Allen, Allen, hey, people are getting old, and their memory is getting worse and worse...... You have to come back more often when you have time. β
Mom whispered, "Yes, Dad......"
Brother, he's going to be a druid in the future?
It's really joyful and disappointing!
However, this is fine, maybe in the future, my younger brother will become the strongest person in the whole village.
If, one day, I really lose control of my body by Leo, maybe, it will be up to my brother......
I looked at my brother lying in my mother's arms, his eyes rolling, and seemed to see what he would look like when he grew up......
Leo said, "Well, your family has your own profession, and the people are prosperous!" Next, it's time to consider finding a wife and giving birth to a bunch of calves when the time comes...... Look, your sister! β
I said, "Shut up! β
The eyes still couldn't help but look at it.
My sister was looking towards the village.
A young warrior stood in the distance, also looking at us.
Seeing that person, my sister suddenly turned her face.
Then, she noticed that I was looking at her, and her face suddenly became shy......
The young warrior saw me and hurriedly hid.
Leo said, "It seems that your sister is late to marry into this village...... Hey, are you like this, are you considered a close marriage? β
I said, "Shut up! β
Leo had figured it out now, and I said shut up, meaning to tell him to wait until the matter was over before talking.
My grandfather, uncle, and aunt sent us out of the village.
Several other aunts and children also came, and their relatives also sent them a long way.
On the way back, Leo said, "When you grow up, you must leave here and these villages!" Remember, Bihon! β
I said, "What do you mean?" This is my hometown, why should I leave! β
Leo suddenly said in a low tone, "Didn't you always want to kill me?" Here, you can't find a way, you can only go out, to what kind of Sirui Town, to a farther and bigger place, such as the main city of your Minotaur Clan, Thunder Cliff! β
I said, "The sacred land of the Minotaur is not Thunder Cliff, it is Thunder City!" β
Leo said, "Forget forget, I always remember wrong!" Thunder Bluff is Azeroth's ...... Ah, don't care about these details! β
I kind of understand that the place he came from is called Earth, and there is a place called Azeroth, and there is a place in Azeroth called Thunder Bluff - something like that.
I finally know a little bit about his hometown.
Leo didn't care about his words in the slightest, and continued: "You want to kill me, I drive me out of your horns? It's impossible to follow your grandfather or your grandfather, you want to work part-time as a warrior, shaman and druid? Then you have to go outside, and staying in the village has no future. If you don't do it, you will hurt the whole village! β
I was anxious: "I will not allow you to hurt my loved ones!" β
My hands clenched into fists involuntarily.
My sister suddenly came over and whispered in my ear, "Don't talk nonsense about what happened just now...... I'll make you a deerskin bracer ......"
I was a little confused, and Leo said, "You saw her little lover......"
I realized that she was talking about the young warrior of the village of Duodie.
Could it be that guy, the guy I didn't know at all, would be my brother-in-law?
Leo said, "Before leaving, I heard that your father and brother are going to Beizu Village to talk about their relatives......
My brother is also looking for a daughter-in-law?
That is, I may have another group of relatives.
Well, this damn Leo is right!
I have to find a way to make myself stronger!
Otherwise, whether it is a neighbor in the village or a relative in another village, they will be implicated!
I didn't speak, and my sister was a little anxious: "Don't you agree?" β
Then I came back to my senses and said, "I, I want a horn set." β
My sister was stunned for a moment: "Isn't that what the warrior wears on the horn?" What do you want it for? I won't do it! β
I said, "Just sew one out of deerskin!" β
The sister said, "Well, well! That's it! β
I said, "Yes! β
Mom suddenly said, "Bihon, Rada, what are you two talking about?" β
The elder sister said, "My brother wants a horn sleeve made of deerskin!" β
I nodded, and my mother said, "There is just a little deerskin left, and it is not enough to make clothes, so it is okay to make horn covers, and the rest is left for Alan to make a pair." β
My sister said, "Got it, Mom." β
Leo laughed twice and stopped talking.
I secretly made up my mind - I had to get out!
In any case, loved ones must not be harmed!
Back in the village, I saw a jubilant Kate, who told me that they had won a big victory in Wana Village.
I continued to train and worked harder than before.
Leo seemed to be completely unconcerned about my hostility towards him, and encouraged me with high spirits.
I could feel my strength growing.
Grandpa continued to teach me more shamanic spells and shamanic skills, even how to make totem poles, and how to use elemental energy to communicate with natural spiritsβeven though I hadn't mastered controlling elemental energy yet.
He seemed a little anxious.
The weather is getting warmer and warmer, and spring is just around the corner.
The adults of the hunting party led their Kodo beasts and plowed the fields outside the village that had not yet completely thawed, and the soil with frost stubble was completely turned up.
Next, it was the induction ceremony of the new trainee soldiers.
Children up to the age of eight can join.
Kate and I probably had our birthdays before the summer, and two of our friends were born in the fall and winter.
However, according to the ancient custom, in the spring we are considered to be one year older, that is, eight years old.
In front of the altar, they were all tested by their grandfather and showed good warrior talents, and one of them, with hunter talents, was accepted by Uncle Sanchi as his successor.
Kate and the three of them joined the trainee warriors, and I, continuing to follow Grandpa.
My family actually knew that I was running and practicing, but they didn't pay much attention to it.
Dad said, "It's not impossible to be a shaman and a warrior, I'm afraid you won't be able to master it." β
Grandpa also said, "It's okay to even be a little simple, but don't get too obsessed with it...... Or, you want to give up shamanic practice......"
When he said this, he must have felt a little lost in his heart, especially after his mother told him that his brother Alan had a druid talent.
I hurriedly said, "I won't give up, grandpa!" I must be a shaman! β
Grandpa nodded reassuringly.
The elder brother seemed to feel a little sorry, and whispered: "It's a pity that Bihong has so much strength, it's a pity not to be a warrior......"
Dad glared at him, and he quickly turned his head away.
In the following days, the women began to prepare for the planting, waiting for the spring breeze to blow and the stubble in the fields to thaw.
Naturally, the men are also waiting for the start of the new year's hunt.
Spring, too, didn't make us wait too long.
