The long-awaited heavy snow finally arrived as scheduled, and there was no intention of stopping at once. In just one afternoon and one night, the snow was thick enough to reach the depth of your knees.

There is no perfect market supply system in Orson Manor, so Bruce simply purchases a large number of winter clothes and other warm supplies, so that everyone has them, and the warmth measures are fully in place.

At noon on the third day, it cleared up and the snow was heavier. Hawke led the people to clear the snow, and many little dolls were all playing in the snow, snowball fights and snowballs, full of fun. Asban was blushing, but he didn't dare to take the lead in messing around, the last time he caused a big enough disaster, and he still has lingering palpitations, so he had to let the leader of the human race, Sam, who had recovered from a cold, provoke in every possible way, that is, he should not fight. Being a villain to do Asban's job is quite aggrieved.

Now the whole Erorson Manor is snow-white, and it is very beautiful in a white ice wrap. The two lakes in the village are not frozen, and Tember, who still lives there except when he works in the hospital, likes the smaller lake very much, and thinks it is like a pearl, and it is more beautiful in the snow. As for Sauron, he had to stay in the square while maintaining his dragon body, and when he woke up in the morning, the snow weighed him down, causing him to sneeze.

It's hard to sneeze from a dragon, so the square is always clean, and you don't have to clear the snow, Sauron can do it alone.

At noon on the third day came a very old minotaur who called himself Gipa Splithoof.

The defenders came to report the news to Xu Zheng, Xu Zheng was at a loss when he heard it, there was only one Cowherd who he recognized, where did this old man of the Minotaur come from?

Hurriedly went to Hawke and told the bull head about it, but the bull head turned around in shock and ran to the gate of the manor. We're going to meet this Gippa Splithoof.

Soon, Niu Tou came to Xu Zheng and Huo Ke with this bull head old man.

Xu Zheng couldn't help but look at him curiously. The old minotaur in front of him was very old, holding a very uniquely shaped crutch, standing trembling with his body trembling, his chin swaying, and his whole bull's face was full of wrinkles to show his old age. Although it is already old. But there was still a peculiar youthful strength of the Minotaur in him, his arms were still thick, his back was still broad, and even the horns on his head were still thick and thick.

The old man was dressed in a strange robe, with a lot of various stones and animal teeth, as well as a mess of feathers, which looked ancient and mysterious. It's a bit like a down-and-out beggar......

In short, in Xu Zheng's opinion, his dress is really sloppy, but his slightly cloudy eyes occasionally blink an eye, but when the brilliance leaks out, it is full of wisdom and crystal, flashing with a unique style of an elder.

Xu Zheng has always respected the old man. The old man with the bull head wanted to come over to give a salute, but of course Xu Zheng couldn't sit still, so he hurried over. A chair was dragged for the old man to sit down.

The old man was slightly stunned, then smiled gently, squinted at Xu Zheng with a pair of bull's eyes full of wisdom, and asked with a smile: "Handsome black hair and black eyes, he is humble and polite, Your Excellency is the famous Xu Zheng?"

"Don't dare, don't dare. It's okay to call me Xu Zheng, or Xiao Zheng, they all call me that. Xu Zheng hurriedly said, and poured the drink without stopping. It was winter now, and the fruit was too cold to eat, so Xu Zheng tried to squeeze it into juice and boil it hot to drink. He was busy coming and going, but Mu Ne's bull head stared at Xu Zheng with a pair of bull's eyes, and he was in a hurry, not knowing where to take over.

"It's delicious, it's the first time I've ever drunk something so good. What is it?"

"Freshly squeezed juice. Xu Zheng said: "Eating cold fruits in winter is not good for the stomach, and you are older, so you should pay more attention to this problem." Here, move your ass, I'll put a cushion on you. ”

The old man smiled again, looking at the busy teenager with great interest. Then he looked at Hawke again: "Respectful Second Prince, Your Royal Highness, hello!"

Hawke moved his ass uneasily, muttering in his mouth: "It's not a bullshit prince for a long time, I was kicked out by my eldest brother." Hey, old man, I can tell you, whether I am a prince or not, you minotaur handed over the cowherd to me and I will not regret taking him away, he is now my brother, understand? If you want to take someone away, you must first ask me about the sword in my hand to see if it agrees!"

The bull head was suddenly dissatisfied, glared and said: "Shut up! What to take away or not to take away, it's really ugly! Am I a commodity? If the shaman wants me to return to the clan, you must also go with me!"

Oh, meaning he won't be left alone, and Hawke was immediately reassured. Immediately shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands at the old man, and sat on the chair with a rogue face, which means that by the way, you can do whatever you like.

The old man of the bull head saw the interaction between the two in his eyes, and couldn't help but suddenly be happy, and turned his head to the bull head and said: "Okay, the second prince of Virgil, you dare to make a loud noise, it seems that you are really living well on the side of the human race, I am relieved." ”

The bull's head twisted, scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled: "Sacrifice to my lord, the human race is not all bad people, Huo Huo is very good to me, my friends are also very good to me, I live very happily here." Let's put it this way, although I have been a servant of Hoho since I was a child, he has never treated me with the attitude of a servant, we are friends or brothers. If one day I am in danger, or if someone wants to hurt me, I have no doubt that he will draw my sword for me, just as I will stand before him when danger comes. Also, if there is nothing big in the clan, I think I will stay with Huo Huo. Reaching out and grabbing his scalp, the bull head smiled more and more innocently: "I don't want to leave him." I love it, my friends, and the estate, just like at home. ”

The bull's unreserved maintenance made Hawke very comfortable, and he immediately looked at the old man defiantly, with a great sense of pride, and the stinky temper of the second prince of the Virgil family was clear at a glance.

Desser ...... Xu Zheng really didn't like him. Of course, there is still a little envy and jealousy in my heart, how could Niu Tou choose Hawke, a bad-tempered person......, to follow? Follow yourself to drink fragrant and spicy food, and you will take care of him like you take care of Lulu and Mark. It's really a mistake to follow this guy Hawke.

Of course, Hawke doesn't have this kind of consciousness, he is not only arrogant, but also very smelly and beautiful, now the bull head is steady and will be by his side, there is no scruples in his heart, the taste of feeling good about himself is back, leisurely learn the name of the bull head to the old man of the bull head and say: "Sacrifice lord, what are you doing here?

Huo stood up on his chair with a thud and said in a lost voice, "You are a shaman of the beast clan?"

Xu Zheng also turned his head to look at him with great interest, the shaman sacrifice was the first time he saw this kind of mysterious legal profession in the orc clan, and he couldn't help but be particularly curious. Since the orcs are not naturally good at magic, there are very few law professions among them, and the rarity is almost the same as that of the seventh- and eighth-order magic crystals. Only a very few of them have the talent to learn magic, and such orcs will become shamans, the only legal professionals in the orcs.

It is said that their magic is completely different from the traditional magic of Aris, and that they are channeled with the gods through a more ancient chanting and ritual, relying on spirits to perform powerful soul skills. Therefore, in Xu Zheng's view, the legal professionals of the orc race such as shamanic sacrifice are actually not like magicians, but more like some kind of superpower with psychic physique. Of course, because of this, it is also more mysterious and interesting.

The thought swirled in his head, and after a moment, it dawned on him that there was a shamanic sacrifice standing in front of him—a key figure in the little orc's coming-of-age ceremony, and without him presiding over the ceremony, the coming-of-age ceremony would not have been possible at all.

"Shaman sacrifice?!" Xu Zheng also jumped up and exclaimed in surprise: "Great! I really want to be dozing off, someone will send a pillow, I have been worrying about this, there is not a single shaman sacrifice in the manor." I didn't expect this to come here, old man, you came in time!Hahaha, I knew that the light of the beast god Balu Ka would shine on all his people! The little orc of Zhuang Shi will definitely survive this coming-of-age ceremony safely!"

Hearing the name of Balu Ka spit out from Xu Zheng's mouth without the slightest discrimination, the old man smiled comfortably again: "Yes, I am the shaman of the Minotaur clan, Jipa Splithoof. While I was meditating, I sensed that the little orcs here were approaching the transformation period, and there might be a coming-of-age ceremony, so I rushed over. I think you might need me. ”

"Yes, it's so needed!" Xu Zheng was overjoyed, rubbed his hands and asked, "Why should I call you?

"Splithoof is a family name, you can just call me Jipa. We don't call each other by name, as Terrans do, with all kinds of honorific titles. ”

"That's good, you don't want your Excellency's. He's Hawke, I'm Xu Zheng, that's all. Xu Zheng smiled and asked, "Jipa, huh...... I'll call you Grandpa Gipa. When is the best time for a little orc's coming-of-age ceremony? What is missing? You say, I'll find a way to prepare. ”

Xu Zheng called Grandpa as soon as he was too old, and the habitual title of Grandpa was obviously very pleasing to Jipa, and he couldn't help but look at this Terran boy again and again, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and he already had the taste of looking at his grandson in his eyes. His undisguised love for the little orcs, as well as the attitude of treating all races as equals, made Jipa Lao Huai even more gratified, and the first impression of Orson Manor that he traveled all the way has confirmed this idea, and Aosen Village with this young man is indeed worthy of the hope of the beasts. Thinking of the legend that is widely spread among the orcs on the continent of Arris, I have a great confidence in my heart for this brave solo trip, and I am already sure that my arrival this time will be the beginning of friendship with Orson Manor, and it will also be a turning point in the fate of the Minotaurs.

Hehe, it's really the same as the legend, this young man's words and deeds represent hope, and he really deserves to be called the star of the Aris continent, which is also known as the star of hope. This trip, sure enough, it's the right place!
