The Isle of Britain is a medium-sized island located on the western side of the second half of the Great Route. The island is one of the most famous in the world. And it's not famous for its mineral treasures. Instead, Elbaf, known as the world's most powerful country, is located on this island.

That evening, two adult Elbaf warriors watched the nearby sea from their usual sentry posts around the island.

"Kyle, a ship has appeared in the direction of sixty degrees to the east! Come here. A bearded Elbaf warrior shouted to his companion. His companion, Kyle, was a stout young man with a ponytail.

Kyle holds a telescope in her hand and looks in the direction of her partner's report.

It was a large pirate ship, and as for the pirate flag, wasn't it the flag of the Giant Pirates?

"Rosemont, it's the Winter Hunting Team that has returned, hurry up and inform the clan boss." Kyle shouted.

Rosemont heard the news and sped in the direction of the village. Kate, on the other hand, ran to the lookout with a spear and waved the same pirate flag, meaning that it was okay to dock.

By the time Serge and his party got off the boat, the shore was already full of people.

This is a companion who helps the hunting party to settle the prey, and in layman's terms, it is a person sent by the clan elders to unload the goods. Halding's father was also mixed in.

Uncle Karui recognized the tightly bandaged Halding at a glance, and because the scene was a bit busy, Uncle Karui motioned with his eyes to Searle to take Helding back first.

……

As soon as Serge got off the boat, he greeted his acquaintances who had come to meet him, and carried Hairding on his back to the village.

Along the way, as long as they are familiar with each other, they will be curious to ask about Halding's situation.

After all, Helding's injury was inseparable from himself, and he didn't feel impatient in the face of everyone's inquiries, and after a rough explanation, he went to his house with Hairding on his back.

After handing over Hairding to his mother, Searle also returned to his own house, and it happened that Aunt Melinda was not at home, and Searle was going to sleep first, and after recuperating his spirits, he would wait for tomorrow's last sacrifice ceremony of the year, and the coming-of-age ceremony that Searle was most concerned about.

……

Early the next morning, Serge woke up and rushed directly to the royal capital, which was arranged with the king's uncle in advance, as if he wanted to discuss with the clan elder about Seel's performance in this hunt.

Since the festival is held at night, the day is not as stressful as expected, and many people are still asleep.

However, under the influence of Searle, those friends have become diligent, and Searle saw a few giants who have a good relationship on the way to Dude are practicing, and after chatting a few words, Searle said goodbye to acquaintances and came to the palace.

Due to the king's arrangement in advance, Serre went directly to the main hall without going through the inspection, and the process of reporting and the like.

It didn't take long for the king and the elders to enter the palace, talking and laughing.

Searle really couldn't imagine that the clan elder who was not smiling on weekdays didn't expect to be such a talkative person.

"Oh, has little Serre grown this big? The last time I saw you, you were still a child! The clan elder stroked his conspicuous gray beard and said with a smile on his face.

Serge remembered that Aunt Melinda had mentioned that the clan elder had lived for more than three hundred years, and for such an old man, Serge put away his casual expression, stood up from the chair, and said with respect: "I was so naughty when I was a child, I caused you trouble, I wonder if you called me over this time to explain something?" ”

The clan elder smiled and waved his hand to signal Searle to sit down and continued: "I heard this little guy Lulu say that you can kill a monster like Beamons alone, it's really amazing, the old man has lived for so long and has never seen a young man as powerful as you." It's just curious, I want to see you in advance. ”

The clan elder stroked his beard and said, "Actually, if you really want to talk about it, you should call me great-ancestor!" My name is Johnny. J. Dingle. Your mother, Yari, is my own granddaughter. For some reason, I haven't been able to cross paths with you much over the years. ”

For the first time, Serge learned that his mother had a grandfather, and that Aunt Melinda had never mentioned it, not even her parents.

Searle had always believed that Aunt Melinda and her mother should be orphans.

It seems that there are some things that Aunt Melinda doesn't want to tell Searle. And that day Melinda did not go to see the king, but her grandfather.

The clan elder smiled and said: "You are really the most talented young man the old man has ever seen, the old man has little time left, are you interested in inheriting my position!" ”

Indeed, he has lived for more than 300 years. It's normal to get old, but his easy-going attitude is quite admirable.

Admiration and admiration, Serge still rejected the patriarch's proposal: "My dream is above the sea!" I want to be the strongest in the world. As for the clan elders, you will surely live for many more years. ”

The patriarch was not angry, but said to Searle with great interest: "This is a dream that ordinary people can't reach!" Now that you've decided, let's do it! Elbaf's Pride !! ”

After talking about something inconsequential, Serge left the palace.

The patriarch watched Searle leave and said, "His future achievements are limitless."

King Gururu replied with a sigh on his face: "I really don't know how he killed that monster, since he is an adult, let's teach him our Elbaf's inheritance martial arts!" I believe that in his hands, he will be able to reproduce the glory of Elbaf. ”

……

As night fell, the sacrificial square was already crowded, and the word solemnity was almost written on everyone's faces.

The king and the elders ascended the altar and offered the best of their prey to the sun god, and yes it was the right arm of Beammons.

The giant arm was carried onto the altar by two Giant warriors, and the leader uncovered the animal skin that covered the sacrifice, revealing its true face.

Everyone in the audience had never seen such a huge arm before, and their eyes widened and whispered, even the unveiling warrior had a shocked expression on his face.

"The sacrifice begins, keep quiet!" The patriarch stood on the stone statue of the sun god and said solemnly.

As soon as the words fell, the noisy scene fell silent. After the patriarch lit the sacred flame of the altar, everyone knelt down solemnly.

"Dear Sun God, please allow your people to offer you our hearts and pray that you will bless us with the peace of Elbaf."

After a series of processes, the sacrifice ended, and although Searle did not believe in God, it did not affect his awe of the unknown.

After the sacrifice, the king came to the stage and distributed the prey to the villages. The village chief then distributed it to each family. Of course, the prey assigned to these allotted warriors is for adult warriors, and the prey of young people can only be distributed after being demonstrated.

Then the king summoned all the young men who had taken part in the hunt to the high platform, except for Haldin, who was lifted up to the high platform.

The king spread out the scroll in his hand and read aloud: "This hunt is much richer than in previous years, and the young people are showing themselves like never before. Here, on behalf of Elbaf, the King grants you the qualifications of adulthood! ”

"Hellding hunts to meet the standard python and qualifies for adulthood".

"Maika hunts crocodiles up to par and qualifies as adults."

"Miriam hunts spiders that meet the standard and qualifies as adults."

"Saron hunts lions up to the standard and qualifies as adults."

……

"Serge hunts to meet the standards of Beamons to qualify as an adult. Now it is up to the clan elders to imprint the giant's warrior mark on their bodies. ”

After the reading was finished, the giants in the audience shouted the names of the young people loudly.

Of course, not all young people are successful, John and Laxald, who have a good relationship with Salon, do not have the prey to meet the standard, so they cannot reach adulthood, and then they will either wait for the next year's winter hunt, or wait until they reach 60 years old, and become a natural adult, of course, the natural adult giants are not eligible to be stamped. Unable to become a warrior of the Giants.

Including, Aunt Melinda???? Sure enough, it's a female man.

Holding a red-hot soldering iron in his hand, the clan veteran walked up to many young people and branded their own marks on the parts that the young people had requested.

When branding, the surface of the skin makes a "hissing" sound, but young people are not afraid of it! I've worked hard for a long time, isn't it just for this mark?

Serge chose to put the sigil on his left arm, and when the soldering iron was attached to Serge's arm, Serge just frowned. Finally, the initial goal can be achieved, and we are one step closer to the sea.

Knives, axes, horns make up the main body of the imprint. The strange and ancient glyphs around it show its difference.

Serge is an adult!!

This is only the first step of the journey, and then comes the real life!
