Chapter 17: Soto's Feelings
Soto's arrival was warmly welcomed by the Blue Wolf Tribe, and although the tribesmen were ready for a blizzard under the leadership of the Baroque Patriarch, they did not know much about the tundra after all. It's still useful to have an indigenous orc to remind you to take care of it. At least Baroque knew that this blizzard, which was about to rain down all over the world, would have to accumulate in the sky for a few days.
Ziad returned with a group of clansmen with the last of the forage exchanged, which also made Baroque breathe a sigh of relief. The clansmen are not allowed to go out again, except for the patrol that cannot be relaxed, just nest in the tribe to survive this heavy snow!
Soto was left behind by the enthusiastic blue wolf tribe, and it was not too late to go back the next day. After enjoying a sumptuous dinner, with curiosity and a hint of envy, I watched all the young people of the Blue Wolf Tribe gather in the largest wooden house, and the two beautiful Terran women taught the lingua franca of the continent.
It is already difficult for orcs to survive in the northern freeze, and they have to be on guard against human aggression and attacks all the time. Who would have the time to learn words, and even if they did, there wouldn't be so many intelligent orcs to teach them. Over time, this has caused most orcs to be rude and illiterate...... Perhaps the glorious orcs of the past are gradually declining, which is also a very important reason.
But this does not mean that the orcs have abandoned the desire to open their wisdom, among the orcs, the learned orc scholars have always been the most respected group of people. But that's only the noble bloodline orcs of the big tribes who are qualified to learn, like the orcs of those small tribes can't get in touch at all. Even in the Banshan tribe, a medium-sized tribe of more than 700 people, only the Kansu patriarch could barely write the continental lingua franca, and everyone else was illiterate.
Once again, Soto noticed the extraordinaryness of the Baroque shaman, even when he had only a few dozen people. and never let go of his teachings. Whether it was the harsh discipline or the study of words, he seemed to be preparing for the future of the development and growth of the blue wolf tribe...... It was as if he knew what the future of his tribe would look like, and he was preparing now. Wait until the future when everything is in order.
This kind of person with strong beliefs is actually the most easily loved and revered by others, at least Soto has great respect for this young shaman who is more than ten years younger than himself, and he is becoming more and more distressed! He desperately wants to be a member of the blue wolf tribe, and to be confident, determined, and proud to be part of this all. But it unites a loyal family. And he was sure that if he opened his mouth, the Baroque patriarch would welcome him very much. But on the other hand, Soto could not make the choice of leaving the Banshan tribe, where he was born and raised. If he just left with his wife, Fry, he thought it would be tantamount to betrayal.
This entanglement made him can't help but show it on his face, and Baroque saw it in his eyes, shook his head and smiled, and didn't say anything. The person with this kind of entanglement just proves that he is a trustworthy, honest and loyal orc, and the blue wolf tribe needs such a person in the future. The more the merrier!
Baroque wanted to help Soto, he had long realized that Soto had touched the edge of the beast battle qi, and he should have received some guidance from Aunt Kama and cultivated on his own. It's just that some blockages in the body always can't break through the last barrier. It seems that this is also the case with the big man Hubertus - this is usually the most common problem for orcs, and it is absolutely impossible to overcome it if he does not have a particularly outstanding talent. The power of shamanic rituals can help them overcome their mental and physical blockages.
When in the tribe, the six totem poles were usually erected around the six-pointed star in the position of the six-pointed star, so that the Baroque practiced shamanism at night. You can also use shamanic power to baptize and bless all the clansmen, so that new beast warriors will appear among them as soon as possible............ Although Baroque also knew that this probability was actually very low. Being able to have six beast battle qi warriors such as Mu Lu was already worthy of his satisfaction. But he was still not satisfied. I always feel like I can do better. ...
"Brother Soto, you should be practicing Beast Battle Qi, right?" Baroque suddenly said to Soto, who was a little distracted.
Soto was taken aback, he had never told anyone about his secret. It's not that there's anything wrong with cultivating the beast's battle qi, it's that he himself is ashamed and can't speak. Many years ago, Aunt Kama taught Soto and Hubertus the secret art of beast fighting qi after discovering that they had the talent to perceive the beast's battle qi. At that time, Soto and Hubertus were pleasantly surprised that they almost didn't sleep for several nights, and they were hungry and thirsty to practice combat skills, but they almost learned all the combat skills, but they couldn't break through the final level of comprehending the beast's battle qi, like a very thin layer of paper blocking another new world.
Aunt Kama once comforted them, cultivated diligently, and was devout to their ancestors, and after accumulating over time, there will always be a day when they will break through. So Soto and Hubertus began a long period of accumulation, and after many years, they were still the same, from their initial hopefulness to their current discouragement. Today, when I heard Baroque mention the beast battle spirit, it really made Soto dazed for a while!
"Hehe, your accumulation is already very strong, but you are stuck in the last level, and you can't break through, right? It seems that Hubertus is also like you, it should be Aunt Kama who discovered your talent and taught you the beast battle qi combat skills, right? I have to say, Aunt Kama is an excellent beast battle qi warrior, but she is not a good guide, maybe ...... I can help you a little. β
"Can you help me break through the level and comprehend the beast's battle qi?" Soto jumped up in surprise and joy, his expression nervous and full of apprehension.
His movement was a little loud, and the people who were learning the script turned around to look at it. Celine, who was teaching the difficulty of lingua franca, couldn't help frowning, and pointed to Baroque and Soto very unceremoniously, and then waved her hand. Baroque touched his nose with a crying smile and left with Soto...... Celine seems to have a talent for being a teacher, and when she lectures to her people, she is full of charming authority. Baroque likes to hide from a distance and watch her every move quietly, and Celine at this time is almost a god (goddess) in the eyes of Baroque.
Take Soto to the back mountain, stand in front of the erected totem pole, "Sit down, don't think about anything, even if you fall asleep." Baroque commanded.
Sotoyi was about to sit down, the ground was cold, and he took a stake in his hand, and his ass just sat on it. Baroque's still mild expression suddenly became cold, and he shouted coldly: "Throw away the stake and sit on the ground! Isn't it true that in front of the totem pole you still have the slightest reverence and reverence in your heart? No wonder you have excellent talent but have not been able to break through the level for many years, in front of the spirit of the ancestors, you have no trace of piety at all, and you really do not deserve the blessing of the ancestors at all......!"
Baroque suddenly turned his face and shouted, catching Soto off guard. Standing in front of him was a shamanic sacrifice after all, and while scolding, the totem pole that had followed the Baroque first also reacted, rising a halo, and Rak's spirit beast body came out from the top, raising his head and letting out a silent wolf howl...... Soto threw himself on the ground trembling, completely ignoring the coldness and mud on the ground. He was not a cowardly orc, but in the next moment he burst into tears, crying out: "Forgive me for my ignorance and blasphemy, the greatest ancestor, your descendants have disgraced your soul. ...... During the years of Free's serious illness, I was helpless and questioned your existence...... But now I have repented, and I will dedicate all my piety to you, and swear by my soul, or my soul will never rest in peace............"...
Soto cried hysterically, shouted. And only the spiritual sense of the shaman sacrifice can find that Soto's invisible and untouchable level, which prevents him from comprehending the beast's battle qi, has dissipated silently. Baroque didn't smile, which was what he was trying to achieve. But at this moment, he suddenly thought of a questionββββββ fewer and fewer people among the orcs who could cultivate the beast battle qi, was it related to the lack of faith in the spirit of the ancestors?
This is a big question, Baroque can't help but be a little excited, could it be that there has been no new beast battle qi warrior in his tribe for a long time, is it also related to this?
"Stand up, I forgive your ignorance this time, but not next time!" Baroque snorted coldly at Soto: "Your slack belief in the spirit of the ancestors is the fundamental reason why your beast battle qi cannot break through. Now you're just standing here and taking a look at your Beast Battle Qi level, is it still there?"
Soto was stunned, he got up with all his strength, his bones seemed to make a crisp sound, and heat suddenly rose between his chest and abdomen as if burning, and an incomprehensible but real cloud of air formed in his abdomen. With a loud shout, the beast hair on his body stood up, as if a layer of cyan light was emitted from the pores............ His beast battle qi finally appeared, and the cyan color was biased towards the power of the wind system!
Soto knelt at the feet of the Baroque and had never been so reverent: "Dear Baroque shaman, you are my guide, I am willing to give my life for you, please accept my allegiance." β
Baroque guided him to comprehend the beast's battle qi, and was his guide. Unless the shaman himself will be expelled by the guide, usually the guide will stay with the shaman and become a member of the shaman's sacrificial guards! Every orc shaman's shaman will have his own [sacrificial guard], of course, the stronger the shaman, the stronger his guard.
At this time, Soto didn't care if leaving the Banshan tribe was a betrayal. If the Baroque takes him in, it will be a supreme glory, and the entire Banshan tribe will be honored! Even at this moment, Soto hated to let the entire Banshan tribe take refuge at the feet of the Baroque shaman............ It sounds ridiculous that a large tribe of seven hundred people has taken refuge in a small tribe of less than a hundred, but it is Soto's truest idea at this moment. The Baroque shaman is not an ordinary person, he is like the moon rising in the eternal night, although lonely and cold, it can always shine on all corners of the tundra!
