Chapter 55: Reunion

"God forbid, isn't there anyone else who wants to take the Chief's place?" Rubbing his chin and some of the beard that had grown, Riga asked dissatisfied. "There are many warriors who survived that battle twenty years ago, and they are strong enough. ”

For this early duel, the hunter was not at all willing in his heart. When the tribe was invaded by the enemy, he did not want the iron sword to feed the blood of his people. Even if he will face Paron, the villain who once wanted to take his adult prey.

"There are indeed many powerful warriors in the prime of life, and they are the most loyal people of the Fury. With a helpless look on his face, Parney tugged at his mouth. But most of them were the chief's former subordinates, and even now they follow Spain's beliefs. ”

"That means a large part of the population supports Paron, the guy who is as proud as a rooster?" said Garr, wringing his nose with a sackcloth until there was no more watery snot coming out of it. "Every time I can smell chicken plague from him. ”

"That's the smell of his armpits. Reilly on the side interjected and added. So he often looks for some grass with a special flavor to smoke the body. But when the red-haired young man noticed the strange stares cast around him, he immediately shrunk his shoulders and shook his hands quickly. "I'm just a guy who almost became a wizard's apprentice and has nothing to do with him. In addition to being hired to go out and collect medicine. ”

A group of people are talking up the stairs. When they were almost ten feet above the ground, and the cold wind blowing in the air increased significantly, Paloon led them into a narrow passage. The wind in the passage was very small, and the air had a hint of warmth, but it was a black hole inside, and nothing could be seen clearly.

Pani removed the torch from one side of the wall, and after lighting it with flint and steel, a flickering dim yellow light immediately illuminated the narrow passage. "This is where we live temporarily, albeit a little darker. ”

After taking seven or eight steps forward, Parney suddenly turned a corner, and in front of several people was a wide passage. Walking along the passageway, Riga glanced at both sides, only to find a door and a large number of people. Most of the wooden doors were freshly made, with rough thorns or bark on them, but the faces of the people who came out of them were steady.

"This is the arsenal and the caves in the fortress. Parney raised the torch in his hand and said in a loud voice. "It's where we live now. ”

Several of his companions immediately bid farewell to Riga and they went to find their family. The wounded Rayso and Reilly remained, one of them in need of the wizard's treatment, and the other to take care of him temporarily.

Taking the handle of the stretcher wrapped in rough bark from the warrior's hand, Riga and Gal deliberately tossed upside down, and when Rayso's face became extremely strange with pain and laughter, Gal hurried to follow Pani's footsteps.

"Daddy Thorne and Uncle Gus live next door to me, in the area of wizards, where no one dares to rebel against the servants of the gods and disobey the will of the gods. As he walked forward with a torch, the apprentice saluted with everyone who saw him, causing him to walk more than thirty breaths in a short distance.

Riga stiffened when he reached the wooden door designated by Pani, and then the hunter slowly reached out and pushed it open with the wailing of the wooden door.

The house was spacious and warm, and the Quaid saw a figure lying on the ground through the dim glow of the badger oil lamp. He hurried inside, but a voice from behind made him pause.

"Damn, what are you doing in front of the door? Garl, God forbid, you little bastard is finally back. A loud, but slightly drunken shout came from behind them, and then a chubby warrior squeezed through Garl and the apprentice and walked in with a wine burp.

"Thorne!" exclaimed, blushing Gus, shaking his long, bushy beard. "You damn drunkard, you must remember to give me back the money. With that, he threw the brown wooden barrel he held in his arms on the table, causing the pine that made it to let out a wail.

"You miserly bloodsucker. The same loud cry came from inside the room, and then the old warrior, who had regained his sturdy, came out of the innermost part. "Don't forget that the food you've been eating these days is mine. ”

Daddy Thorne lit another lamp, and then he carefully rubbed the twine to make the flame grow. "Oh, it's the Riga boys who are back. The old warrior argued with Gus as he straightened up.

The veteran soldier was now healthy and energetic, and from the fading light, Riga could even see his rough but regained his elastic and tough skin. "Daddy, you're well," the hunter called out at once, and then his eyes cleared the furnishings in the room.

In addition to an old wooden table, there were two piles of motley furs, which were the beds of two old soldiers. "The wizard's potions work. Daddy Thorne's gaze swept over Pani, who was behind Riga. "I will pray to the furious for him. ”

"My Guru will respond to your blessing with a smile in the temple. Parney bowed stiffly, then spoke with a red eye. "It is the duty of the shaman, the return of the believer. ”

The apprentice soon said goodbye and left, leaving two fathers and sons in the room. Riga and Gal had only weapons, a suit of tunics, and two wolf legs that they had brought with them. Although most of the meat on the wolf's leg has been eaten, there is still a dozen pounds of weight left after all. The two old warriors also left the tribe with some food and furs, including a packet of potante nuts and half-tanned snow ape pelts, but now only half of the food remained.

Although the wall is made of solid ice, the caves and warehouses inside have been treated with special treatment. Their walls and floors are covered with a special kind of mud that is said to insulate the temperature between the air and the ice. Even lighting a fire in the room is not afraid of the walls being melted.

In order to give the two young warriors who had just returned from making it a rest, Daddy Thorne boiled a crockpot of broth for them. The water is obtained after the snow melts, and the meat and salt come from the packages they carry. The veteran also plans to add some boiled pantant, as this will mix the puree with the gravy and make it even more delicious.

But when Riga saw the skin wrapped in the fruit, he couldn't help but grow his mouth. "This ...... How did this come here?"

The hunter stretched out his finger and pressed it on this strange animal skin, which made the old warrior stunned for a moment, and then hesitated to speak: "It was taken from your bed, and I used it to wrap a little fruit and evacuate with most of the people." ”

"Oh. Riga whispered yes, and then he took an empty barrel from the side and forcefully removed the bottom of the barrel. "Then put the fruit in here, this hide was given to me by the wizard, and it should contain something important to me. ”

"What the wizard gave you, is it important to you?" the old warrior and the surrounding Gar father and son were visibly stunned, but they didn't say anything. Just pour the potante fruit into the barrel and hand the hides to the hunters.

When the Skin Scroll reappeared in Riga's hand, the hunter caressed its soft leather, his mind contemplating the words that had once appeared in his mind. In order to let him know the ancient Quid, the wizard specially released him with the magic "Knowing Words". But this magic can only last for three days, so the Quid have long lost the ability to read the animal skin scroll.

After about half a prayer, as the smell of broth filled the air, Riga stuffed the hides into his coat. Leaving things that I can no longer think of behind, I began to taste the delicious food that I hadn't tasted in a few days.
