Chapter 120: The Fear of Transformation
Chapter 120: The Fear of Transformation
Bai Ke looked at Rabina in front of him and realized that this was a truly determined ...... Children (manly). He didn't want to talk to Rabina about "manhood" anymore, so he begged, "Rabina, can you help me find a dress?" You can see that I don't have any clothes to wear right now. ”
Rabina patted his little chest and said, "No problem, I can give you my father's clothes." ”
Bai Ke was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Rabina." ”
"No thanks, I'll come as soon as I go." Rabina turned and ran out the door, and he quickly returned with a few Bantu-style clothes.
Rabina handed the clothes to Bai Ke, but Bai Ke waved his hand: "Rabina, please wait a while." After saying that, he jumped out of the bathtub, and his whole body shook vigorously, and all the water droplets were shaken away, and his body suddenly became extremely dry. Rabina hurriedly threw away his clothes, although he was a boy, he was not used to seeing other men naked in front of him.
Bai Ke took the clothes and quickly changed them, and he finally didn't have to walk the birds anymore. Then he thought for a moment and said to Rabina, "Rabina, can you take me to your patriarch?" ”
"You're going to Patriarch Buwanga?" Rabina asked, "Yes, but don't you need to cover your face?" ”
Bai Ke was a little unhappy when he heard this: "Huh? What do you mean by that? Why should I cover my face, can't I see anyone? ”
Rabina quickly explained: "No... No, it is very inconvenient for you to move around our Bantu clan in the face of a dragon now, and it may cause hatred among some people of our clan! ”
"Huh? What does the dragon look like? Bai Ke looked at his hands and feet and couldn't help but be surprised: "What do you mean by this?" ”
Rabina was taken aback at this point, and he stammered, "You... Didn't you notice... Is your current appearance any different from that of a normal human? ”
“???” Bai Ke was a little confused, he stared at Rabina for a while, then looked down at his body, and suddenly woke up like a dream. He quickly turned and leaned on the barrel, looking at his own reflection on the water in the bucket.
"Ahh Bai Ke couldn't help but scream. He saw on the surface of the water the face of a man with horns on his head and scales on his face, and it was himself.
"What's going on, how did I get like this!?" Although Bai Ke had signs of dragonization before, the changes were very slight, and he couldn't accept that his appearance had changed so much in a short period of time. What he didn't know was that it was because of his current face that Buwanga did not let the sorcerer shamans of the clan take care of him, but instead asked Rabina, who was still a child, to help take care of him. Children are simple-minded, and they don't have much prejudice against dragons who have not experienced the Ice Dragon Rebellion, but are mostly curious, and only they can carry out Buwanga's instructions without prejudice.
Bai Ke was now shocked and frightened, knowing that he hadn't noticed anything wrong with him before Rabina clicked it out, and the biggest mistake was that he didn't even find anything wrong with him. Bai Ke thought about it carefully, he recalled his contact with the remnant of the Bakar Dragon Soul in the spirit world, and suspected that his consciousness had been distorted and mixed into the thoughts of the dragon clan, so he would turn a blind eye to the changes in his body.
Bai Ke couldn't help but sit on the ground, holding his knees with both hands, full of fear. His worst fears seemed to have happened, his consciousness was distorted, he was going to be taken away......
Rabina looked at Bai Ke, who had suddenly become timid and trembling, and he really didn't know why. He asked tentatively, "Carl... Uncle Carl, what's wrong with you? ”
Bai Ke was excited, realizing that there were still others here, and hurriedly got up. He suppressed the fear in his heart, waved his hand at Rabina and said, "It's okay, I'm just ...... It's just that some can't accept their sudden transformation... That's right, it's transformation. ”
"You look so cool when you transform, can you teach me?" Rabina obviously couldn't understand Bai Ke's fear, and he was very curious about how to transform.
Bai Ke hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This is innate, and it can't be taught." ”
"Really?" When Rabina heard this, he was a little excited.
Bai Ke didn't care about Rabina's little loss, he grabbed a piece of animal skin, wrapped his head tightly, and then found a piece of leather and laid it on the ground, and sat down, he held his chin and began to enter the long (time) test.
Rabina, who had recovered from his low mood, still wanted to continue talking to Bai Ke, but he found that Bai Ke didn't seem to want to communicate with him now, so he had to stand aside and look at Bai Ke with a full stomach. However, the child's patience was poor, and he soon couldn't hold it back, and asked Bai Ke in a low voice, "Uncle Karl, do you still want to see Patriarch Buwanga?" ”
Bai Ke was awakened by Rabina's questioning, he was a little displeased, he was thinking about the changes that had happened to him, and he hadn't come up with a clue yet. However, he thought about it, and Rabina was right, since the changes in his body had already happened, there was no point in thinking too much about it now, and now it was more important to find out Buwanga's attitude towards him. After all, the conflict between Bantu and Skasa is very deep, and he doesn't want to be affected.
So Bai Ke endured the unhappiness in his heart and said to Rabina: "Rabina, please show me the way, I want to see the people of Buwanga now." ”
"Okay, please come with me." Rabina also noticed that Bai Ke's face was unswerving, and hurriedly ran out of the door and led Bai Ke in front. Bai Ke straightened the animal skin on his head again, and then followed Rabina out the door.
Along the way, Rabina kept chattering, telling Bai Ke about the life of their brother and sister in the Bantu tribe. Bai Ke was full of worries, and he continued to talk to Rabina without a match. He found that the place where they were at this time was no longer the basin where they had fought the snow-capped monsters, but a glacial canyon. This large canyon is a great winter pasture with high mountains on both sides, sheltered from wind and snow, and a large river flowing in the middle of the valley that has not been frozen.
"This should be the place where the Ten Thousand Years Snow Mountain is close to the south." Bai Ke thought to himself. He could still see some yellow hay under the shallow snow on the ground, and some livestock were pulling the snow and nibbling on the grass. Bai Ke looked around and found that there were a lot of Bantu people gathered here, and he estimated slightly, the number of people was not less than thousands, and this should be a large winter camp for the Bantu people.
Rabina took Bai Ke to a tall tent and said to Bai Ke, "Uncle Karl......"
"Uncle?" Bai Ke was a little embarrassed, and interrupted him: "Rabina, I remember that you used to be called Brother Ruug, why do you call me uncle when you come to me?" ”
"Ah, this ......," Rabina scratched her head, "then I'll call you big brother too?" ”
Bai Ke was satisfied, pretending not to care and said, "Whatever." But he quickly reacted and secretly calculated to himself: "I crossed the first thirty years, and seven or eight years have passed since the crossing." The two lives, ah no, the three lives combined are also over forty years old, so it is more appropriate for Rabina to call me uncle? ”
Thinking of this, Bai Ke was a little excited, but he didn't expect that he was already an uncle over forty years old. He said weakly to Rabina, "Forget it, you can call me uncle." ”
"Yes, uncle." Rabina agreed without hesitation.
Bai Ke was speechless, it seems that Rabina still likes to call him uncle!
Bai Ke and Rabina stood outside the tent and talked for so long, the guards at the door of the tent had long been impatient, and he saw that Bai Ke had a beast skin wrapped around his head and couldn't see his face clearly, and he was even more vigilant in his heart. After Bai Ke and Rabina finished talking, he hurriedly interjected and said to Bai Ke: "Who are you?" What are you doing here? ”
Hearing this, Rabina hurriedly stepped forward to negotiate with the guard, and the guard pointed Bai Ke a few times, Rabina seemed to help him say good things, and the guard finally dispelled his guard and began to chat with Rabina. However, they communicated in Bantu language, and Bai Ke couldn't understand it, so he had to wait there for them to finish talking.
Fortunately, Rabina knew that there was still business, and soon returned, and he said to Bai Ke: "Uncle, the Buwanga Patriarch has gone out, and he is not here now, and you may have to wait a while longer to see him." ”
"Huh? Do you know where he went? Bai Ke hurriedly asked.
"I don't know. I asked the eldest brother of the guard, and he said that he didn't know either, only that the patriarch went out yesterday and hasn't come back yet. As for when the patriarch will come back, he didn't explain before leaving, so we can only go back and wait for him to come back. ”
"Well, I see." Bai Ke was helpless, and happened to follow Rabina back first.
