Chapter 21: Back Mountain Talk
The back mountain of the tribe is a tall and straight stone peak.
Ali and Youxun walked from the foot of the mountain to the halfway point of the mountain early in the morning, and there were very few plants and trees as far as the eye could see.
And the priest of the Silver Wolf Tribe, Yinqi, lives in a tree house on the only thousand-year-old canopy tree halfway up the mountain.
Regarding the sudden visit of Ali and Youxun, Yinqi did not show a little surprise on his face.
He glanced at the two of them, smiled mildly, "Are you here?" ”
I don't know if it's Ali's illusion, she always feels that when the priest's gaze falls on Uncle You, it seems to stay for a while.
"Sit down, you two."
Before she could take a closer look, Yinqi withdrew her gaze, and the gentle sound of a wisp of fresh breeze in summer sounded again.
Yin Yan was sitting at the stone table, and there were two delicate porcelain bowls opposite him, both of which were filled with small half bowls of herbal tea.
Even the unpredictable prophet who had long been accustomed to this priesthood, Ali couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw this scene.
After the two sat down.
"Lin Xi and Shilu have already told me about the outcasts of God last night."
There was a slight slowness in Yin's calm voice.
This kind of slowness was not his intention, but because he was already old, and he had lost the strength he used to have.
"But don't worry, the arrival of the Forsaken won't affect your coming-of-age ceremony, Ali."
Ali nodded slightly, but the big stone in her heart did not fall to the ground.
It is undeniable that she has seen other females' coming-of-age ceremonies, which are very lively and grand.
Therefore, she also had great expectations for her coming-of-age ceremony.
But this time it was about the outcasts, it was about the tribe's affairs, and Ali had to run to the back mountain this time, but she didn't want to come to the priest because of this little thing.
"Lord Priest, but I accidentally overheard the conversation between the outcast and an orc from the monitor lizard clan yesterday, and they ......"
Ali's words stopped abruptly as Yinqi stared at her with a smile, and after years of being with the priest, she could see what he wanted to express to her at this time.
He didn't want her to meddle in the matter.
Sure enough, Yin's next sentence also confirmed what she thought in her heart.
"Ali, your rite of passage is just around the corner, and that's what you need to focus on right now. Or, it's time for you to think about who to be your partner? ”
The priest's last sentence was visibly slightly teasing, and three black lines slashed across Ali's forehead.
"Hey, you can consider him."
Yinqi restrained the gentle smile on his face, and when he said this, his tone was unusually serious.
A trace of something flashed in Ali's heart, and she wanted to catch it, but the spiritual light was like a mirror, and it disappeared without a trace in an instant.
On the side, Youxun's slender and white five fingers shook the small bowl lightly, listening to Yin's last sentence, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he faintly smelled something unusual.
Yin's appearance is an elegant and easy-going man, about thirty years old, if it weren't for the white temples, his eyes reveal a sense of vicissitudes of the world.
Especially now, he always exudes an aura of imminent death on his body.
Otherwise, no one would believe that the person in front of him had actually lived for nearly a thousand years.
Youxun has heard a lot since he was a child, and he has witnessed the power of this priest with his own eyes, and he has never seen him attach so much importance to a female's coming-of-age ceremony.
Even if he knew in his heart that Ali was indeed more than a little better than the other females.
But I still have doubts.
"Lord Priest, you attach so much importance to Ali's coming-of-age ceremony, but what is so special about Ali?"
Youxun raised his hand to take a sip of herbal tea, then chuckled and asked the first question he had when he came here.
The mouth is familiar and has a sweet taste, and he is no stranger to Youxun.
When Ali first learned to be a witch with Granny Rain, she would often make up some good things that they thought were fresh and practical.
And this herbal tea is one of them, which is most suitable for quenching thirst in the dry season.
