my age of magic

Chapter 123 124. The Problem of Meyana
"The injury of Great Chief Kurad is said to be serious!"

When Meyer said these words, Kuz's face suddenly turned pale, and he hurriedly put the wooden bowl in his hand on the ground. At this moment, I saw his hands trembling violently.Meyana glanced at Kurz lightly, and said by saying: "Chief Kurad is no longer in charge of the Blood Wolf Clan, and now the Blood Wolf Department in Gludin Town is temporarily in charge of his eldest son Kurt, who is also a A very capable young werewolf. It is said that Kurad will be taken to the holy blood pool of the sacred mountain by Master Kulpaulos for recuperation. I hope this recuperation will make him recover completely. He is really a good fighter. Rudin Township is also well-managed."

"The famine in the cataclysmic year made it difficult for the tribes attached to the blood wolves around Guruding Town to survive. A large number of hunters went deep into the wilderness to hunt the devil antelope. Their thinking was a bit too simple. Some of these orcs were too young. It seems that there has not been such a catastrophe in the Pai Plateau for a long time. The orcs don't know how to survive the famine. They only want to hunt the magic antelope and exchange sheepskins for food. But they don't think about it , Can their families wait until they come back safely?"

Meyana looked at the elder orc child and his mother not far away. They were sitting around with some female orcs with their children. It could be seen that they had been tortured by hunger to the point where only skin and bones remained. It is impossible to lose weight anymore.

"That's why, wise men of Meyana, you will walk in the wasteland and teach more orcs how to survive!" Gribaschin looked at Meyana sincerely.

"That's exactly what we should do, but I'm getting old and I can't walk anymore!" The wise man rolled his eyes at me playfully, as if he was teasing me. I think if I was seven years old The child will definitely be laughed out loud by him, but I can't laugh now.

The old orc Gribaschin said excitedly: "I also know most of the plants in the wilderness, and I can tell which ones are edible and which are magic herbs. I think I should also go deep into the wilderness and teach my knowledge to others. Orcs that are really needed!"

Meyana nodded to Gribaschin next to him, and then said: "We can only do our best to help the refugees in the wasteland not to starve to death, but it can't solve the fundamental problem. After all, wild vegetables can't fill the stomachs of orcs." .”

"Then what are we going to do?" Kurz couldn't help but asked aloud from the side.

"Child of the blood wolf tribe, I think you look familiar, but I can't remember your name!" Meyer said hesitantly, looking Kurtz up and down.

"My name is Kurtz!"

Meyer stroked his forehead with one hand, pondered for a moment, his eyes became much brighter, and he raised his head and said to Kurtz: "I remembered, if I didn't admit my mistake, you should be the son of Kurad, the one who owns An orc child with legendary talent as an orc hunter, when Lord Kuru took you to practice in the outside world, it was you, it must be you, your eyebrows and eyes are very similar to your father, Great Chief Kurad!"

"Well then! Son of Kurad, since I meet you now, I have a question. Last month, after Kurad was seriously injured, the elders would select a new chief of the Gludin tribe. I also used this question , and asked about your older brothers, and your older brother Kurt’s answer was pretty good, now, I want to ask you a question!”

After Meyana finished speaking, she looked at Kurtz.

If it was Kurtz two months ago, maybe Kurtz would have ignored him, and would just sit quietly and wipe his hunting bow.But all the way from the Xinghu Grassland, experienced the road of death, the looting of the gray dwarves and robbers, the battle of life and death, and many stories happened in the wasteland at the northern foot of the mountain. Now Kurtz has grown up , Even if he speaks Imperial language, he no longer stutters.

"Please ask! I also want to ask you to tell me about the recent situation in Gludin Town and my father's injury!" Kurz turned to look at me, as if he would not be nervous when I was by his side, so He said this to the wise men of Meyana.

Meyana pondered for a while before asking Kuz: "If you were the great chief of the blood wolf clan, how would you deal with the current catastrophe? Nearly 10,000 blood wolf clan orcs in Gludin Town are starving now. Guru There are at least two [-]+ people displaced in the small tribes around Ding. The strong men in the tribe have gone to the depths of the wilderness to chase the magic antelope herd, but who will take care of the remaining women and children? Look, right now on the wilderness, It's all beast girls and children digging weeds."

I didn't think about it, and Kurtz certainly didn't think about it. He just thought about how to become the hunter king all day long, and then took his falcon to hunt salamanders in Sulfur Canyon, or Go to the windy rocks and meet the wind snakes there.As for how to manage the blood wolf tribe, that was his father and his brothers' business, and it was not up to him, Kurz didn't even bother to think about it.When the wise man Meyerna sat beside the bonfire, his old face reflected the bright red flames, his wrinkles piled up, and his white beard was blown to pieces by the strong wind in the wasteland. He looked very embarrassed, that's all. An old man on the verge of decay, in order to save more suffering orcs, walked alone on the wasteland. At this moment, what he thought about in his heart was still the future of the blood wolf clan. This is really a respectable old man.

Qige has already buried her head in the tattered sheepskin scroll. These days, she has been learning the orc language, at least now she can read some parchment books with few rare characters. Watch her put the tattered sheepskin scroll on the It unfolded on the ground, and Katerina knelt on the grass beside her, helping her press the edge of the scroll to prevent it from rolling up, while Qige took out a delicate and small sheepskin notebook, and kept dipping the ink with the magic carving knife , and recorded it in a notebook.

The orcs around have dispersed, and the orc girls and children in the tribe are used to gathering together in small groups. Most of the orcs who dig wild vegetables they meet during the day are women, children and old people. After drinking a delicious hot soup by the bonfire, they rested on the grass not far away. The pair of bonfires gathered dozens of orcs, and they more or less mixed some magic herbs in the wild vegetables. The wise man Anna only taught the elder orc boy how to distinguish between wild vegetables and magic herbs, but it didn't take long for the news that magic herbs were valuable and could be exchanged for beef had spread among the orcs, so under the pressure of hunger, these The orcs also began to think of ways to learn the identification of wild vegetables and herbs, and then selected those plants that looked like magic herbs from the wild vegetables they dug up, and sent them to Qige.Throughout the afternoon, with the help of Katerina and I, Qige bought two more bags of herbs. The cargo on Yagui’s back has reached its limit, and the two bags of herbs are piled aside now. I don't know what to do when we set off tomorrow morning, maybe Katerina and I will carry it away.

Kuz lowered his head and thought for a long time. He hated to think about problems, even if the old Kuro took Kuz, he couldn't do anything about it.

The broth in the iron pot had bottomed out, and I added some water again. While Kurz was thinking about the problem, Meyerna asked me curiously how long this scroll would burn?I answer almost two days and two nights.Meyana sighed and said it was a pity, and then asked me, is this scroll expensive?I said that one piece was sold for ninety silver coins at the auction house.He shook his head and was speechless, and finally said that if the ninety silver coins were exchanged for coarse grain, these orcs could eat for ten days.Before I could speak, the beast girl of the Laitu tribe who happened to come over to ladle hot soup said to the wise man of Mayana: "This magic scroll is very magical. We use it to hunt the beast meat in the wilderness of the northern foot." cooked".

Meyana asked me again: "The magic herbal medicine industry has such a huge profit? In Gludin Town, I have seen many human merchants, but I have never seen anyone who is so luxurious that he uses a magic scroll to keep warm."

I smiled and explained that if we were not in the wilderness, we would not be able to find fuel, and we would not be so extravagant.The wise Meyana smiled and nodded to express his understanding.

The leader, Raitu, was also sitting on the side. Since we had a conflict last time, he rarely participated in such gatherings. Even for dinner, his wives took turns to help him bring it into the tent.I think he may have had a very bad rest recently, his hair is messy, his eyes are full of bloodshot eyes, and there is no exercise that is not suitable for children every night. It seems that he is in a bad mood.His women carefully sat behind him, and the beast women in the tribe were worried about what happened last time, so they all chose to stay as far away from them as possible.

In this way, a strange circle was formed, and everyone sat around the bonfire. The orcs, who had worked hard all day, wanted to save energy as much as possible at night, so they spread a piece of cowhide on the grass and lay down on it to fall asleep early.But only around the leader Raitu, and near his tent not far away, there was a large grassy area, and no one dared to sleep there.The prestige of the leader of Raitu has been reduced to the lowest point.

"Meyana, I need your advice." Raitu said to Meyana after being silent for a long time.

Meyana's gaze fell on Raitu, and he paused for a moment before saying, "I can tell, kid, you're a little confused!"

"I have been working hard to make the life of the orcs in my tribe better. I lead them to hunt in the wasteland, defend against the monsters in the swamp, and teach them fighting skills. When the famine comes, in order to feed them, I You can risk your life and lead the soldiers to hunt, look at the wounds on my body."

Raitu tore off the leather armor on his body, revealing his steel-like chest, which was covered with criss-cross scars, some of which had healed and only left dark red marks, and some had just scabbed over.

He went on to say: "But I found that people in the tribe began to disbelieve me and were unwilling to follow my wishes."

This is Raitu's confusion.
