my age of magic

Chapter 149 149．Go to Night Wolf Cliff, let's go!

The morning on the wasteland came very early, and the warm sunlight came in through the curtain of the tent, waking me up from my deep sleep.The white and greasy snow arms have been pressing on my chest. No wonder I was climbing the mountain in my dream last night. In my dream, I was as tired as a dead dog.The fluffy red hair was scattered on the pillow, and a few strands of hair mischievously covered my face, making me feel itchy.Katerina was fast asleep, she was as cute as a kitten, her long eyelashes were still shaking, she didn't know what her dream was like.

I gently pushed her slippery arms away and crawled out of the sleeping bag.I still clearly remember that this sleeping bag was made by Kurz and I when we were catching guinea pigs in Xinghu Grassland. Looking at the dense moldings, this is the handicraft of Sister Singer.The wolf fur mattress is very warm to sleep on, and it is best to use it to block the moisture on the ground.

Qige on the other side of the tent was still sleeping soundly with a blanket rolled up.Only at this time, when she removes the light makeup on her face, can she appreciate her beautiful face. Usually, she always deliberately makes herself more ordinary.Probably slept too late yesterday, she always likes to meditate in the morning, she has not woken up yet.

I stuck my head out of the tent, and the orc girls outside seemed to have stayed up all night, and the round sausages were still cooking in the big iron pot. A little orc girl carefully lifted the scroll over her head, unfolded it gently, and rolled it into a ball. The water polo quickly rolled into the soup pot.The girl licked her dry lips, looked at the sausages floating in the pot, showing a greedy look, she swallowed the saliva in her mouth lightly, untied the water bag from her waist and took a mouthful of cold and sweet water, Hold the scroll and walk towards the next cauldron.

Naturally, I came up with the idea of ​​making sausages from those smelly lamb intestines. More than 100 argali sheep, which are a little smaller than ordinary war horses, have a lot more groceries than expected. We have no way to make them into dried meat or dried meat and take them away. Mix the fascia and these lamb haggis together, make a thick paste with black flour, add some salt and the dried herbs that we found on the wasteland that can replace seasonings, and pour them into these lamb intestines , In this way, the cheap sausages were made.These sausages are first cooked in a large pot, and then smoked. Although the taste is not very good, it does not have such a strong smell.The most important thing is that these sausages will not go bad after being left for ten or eight days.

I put on the magic antelope leather light armor, but I wore a pair of linen tight-leg pants on my lower body. I really dislike that light armor leather skirt, and I wouldn't be ashamed to wear it normally.Walking out of the tent, I saw a lot of beast girls lying on the side of piles of filled sausages and fell asleep. It seemed that they were exhausted in the past two days.

Not far away, half-dried butchers were hung on the meat racks set up with short javelins, neatly stacked in a row.

An old voice sounded from behind me: "This meat can produce at least [-] catties of dried meat. If you save some of it, it will be enough for our people to eat for a month. These argali have more meat than wild donkeys." !"

I turned around and saw the old orc Gribaschin standing behind me. He has been doing chores in the tribe recently, his eyes are red from the heat, and I quickly said, "You should sleep for a while."

"Once a person gets older, he feels lighter!" Gribaschin rubbed his face vigorously with his big dry hands to wake himself up. "Seeing these meats, I can't sleep all night! Those gray dwarves really gave us a good gift!"

I smiled bitterly. I'm afraid no one here knows more than me and Qige how much we have paid. 130 six enhanced frost scrolls, and only 33 of them were left intact and usable.In the battle with the gray dwarves the day before yesterday, we used a total of [-] enhanced frost scrolls. Even if we sold all the argali, the gold coins we got back would not be enough to buy the scrolls.

Bundles of hammer weapons were tied together with leather cords and stacked in piles.The orc girls of the Laitu tribe don't like this kind of bronze one-handed hammer very much. They prefer short-handled one-handed axes, so after picking and picking, the remaining captured weapons are packed in whole bundles , ready to take away.

"Let's go to Qinghai Lake, can we bypass Night Wolf Cliff?" I asked Gribaschin.I want to avoid the group of harpies, these harpies can even tear through the leather armor of antelopes, and they can even fly into the sky, so they should be very difficult to deal with.

Gribaschin shook his head silently, and I sighed and ran away.

The little orc girl sat quietly beside her mother, holding the magic scroll that could condense water polo in her arms. She looked at the magic scroll with some curiosity, her eyes were bright and her expression was focused, as if she wanted to know why this There is so much clear water stored in a small scroll, it has not been used up even after using it all night.The grandmother of the little orc girl was the orc girl whom the old orc Gribaschin first saw. She was lying on the oil-stained grass with her body curled up, sleeping soundly. She was wearing a clean leather jacket It was covered with oil and water, and there were more than a dozen oily sausages on the parchment beside it.Even after I handed over the method of making sausages to these orc girls, the old orc Gribaschin also changed the post-work remuneration of these foreign orc girls to smoked sausages, after all, sheep lungs It is not as good as sausage, and it will deteriorate after a few days of storage.

The little orc girl took out a small ball of greased paper from her bosom, and took out a small piece of sheep bone from the paper bag. This bone has a special name in the orc language called Galaha. There is still a little bit of muscle on the Galaha that hasn’t been chewed off. The little orc girl licked her lips, carefully pinched the end with the muscle with two fingers, put the Galaha into her small mouth and sucked it gently. When she closed her eyes, that intoxicated expression made my heart feel a little heavy.

I suddenly had a thought that I had never had before, who is the victim of this era.

I walked over gently and sat beside her quietly. The girl felt someone walking by her side, and opened her eyes blankly. When she saw me, she spat out the bone in her mouth into her hands in embarrassment. In my heart, I blinked at me, as if asking why I came, I took out a bag of dried lamb leg meat from my arms, opened the oiled paper bag in my hand, and took a piece of dried meat to her. mouth.

The little orc girl pursed her mouth slightly, thought hard for a long time, hesitated for a long time, and finally shook her head slightly.

I was curious, so I asked, "Why, don't you like it? This tastes very good, you can try it first!"

The little orc girl shook her head again and said, "I know it's delicious, but I can't eat it. I don't have anything for you. I only have this!"

The girl raised her left hand, spread her palm, and showed me the Galaha she was holding in her hand. I even saw the marks left by teeth biting on the bones.There was no meat left, but she was still reluctant to throw it away.I blinked my slightly sore eyes, forced a smile and said, "I don't want you to give me anything, but I heard that the mala plants you picked are very neat and almost all the same length. When you go to pick them next time, remember to take them with you." Give me some, I want to use it as a rope!"

Among the orcs, there is a lot of resistance to charity, and they prefer to barter or use labor in exchange.When the girl heard me say this, her eyes lit up immediately, her teeth kept biting her closed lips, she took a piece of meat that was not too big hesitantly, and quickly put it in her mouth, but she was reluctant to chew it. It was Box Han who used the tip of his tongue to feel the taste of the jerky in his mouth. When the not-so-big piece of jerky melted quickly in his mouth, the girl seemed unable to believe how a piece of jerky was melted by herself. This kind of sweet taste has never been tasted before.

When she raised her head in embarrassment, I had already silently put a pack of dried meat in her hand, but I had already run far away to see the group of argali sheep who had driven back from the wilderness to drink water. These argali are fat and strong, and they are all mounts that can be sold for a good price.At this time, the old shepherd in the Raitu tribe will ride on a strong argali, wielding a long whip, and you can hear the clear whistle of the whip with a light wave.

Not far away, the curtain of Kurtz's tent was lifted, and the maid Asakusa came out with a basin of water, probably changing the medicine for Kurtz's wound again.

Miss Qi used a large amount of hemostatic grass to extract a bottle of healing potion last night, but Kuz was reluctant to use it, and Miss Qi was so angry that she almost dropped the bottle of healing potion.

There are too many people who can work these days.Ever since, Kurz and I spent a lot of time idle, and then we calculated the recent gains and losses together, and we still made a profit.Those dried meat weighing tens of thousands of catties, nearly two hundred argali sheep, more than 400 pieces of chain armor and weapons, and some gold coins and silver coins collected from the gray dwarves, there are more than thirty gold coins collected together. .There were even dozens of water bags filled with golden cider brewed by the dwarves' mothers. Unfortunately, Barent, the most important gray dwarf leader, was not caught. He might have something good on him.The total value of these materials has far exceeded a hundred gold coins. The most important thing is that we just lack these, food and animal strength.

When we set off again, the number of the team had increased to more than 600. Some orc girls who had fled in the wilderness and were homeless were slowly taken in by us and slowly joined our tribe.Now that there is a lot of dried meat in the shade, he no longer has to worry about food. The old orc Gribaschin began to think about the development of the tribe.

Regarding the control of personnel, Grybaschin's level is still very strict.Usually he is more receptive to young and strong orcs. For a long time, in the tribe, the orcs have been regarded as the property of the tribe. Orc children are the easiest to accept.

As a result, the tribe experienced an extreme imbalance in the ratio of men to women.Except for the old orcs and children, the tribe is full of strong and strong orc girls.What Gribaschin looked down on the most were those orc men living in the wilderness, thinking that they should take their families to go hunting in the wilderness. The most important thing for an orc man was to hide in the wilderness behind and dig wild vegetables to survive. It's a very shameful thing.Another reason why Gribasqin only accepts beast girls is that the basic strength of the Raitu tribe is a bit weak. Those beast girl warriors who have just picked up the short javelin have not grown up yet, and the inclusion is too strong at this time. If there is no external force, there will be things that overwhelm the host.

Now that we have nearly [-] argali as our legs, we did not walk very hard, and we still did not avoid Night Wolf Cliff in the end.Finally, on the morning of the third day after the battle with the gray dwarves, we headed towards Night Wolf Cliff again.

...beautiful dividing line...

Standing on a high place, we can already clearly see the towering peaks piercing the sky. Some orcs who are familiar with the terrain in this area told us that it is the highest mountain at the southern end of the Western Wilderness, Night Wolf Cliff.Thirty miles further south, you will clearly see a cliff-like area, and from there to the south, the entire western wilderness is like, the whole land suddenly sank several hundred meters, and a very clear fault zone appeared .At the foot of the night wolf cliff, there happened to be a very deep ravine connecting the two places.

It is rumored among the orcs that tens of thousands of years ago, Behemoth, the most powerful warrior of the orcs, led the Cyclops Legion and the Thunderbird Legion, and fought a desperate struggle with the big demons of the Mozu on this plateau. Finally, with the help of the elf king riding a unicorn and the human dragon knight, finally drive those demons into hell.But in that scene, there was a fortieth-level four-turn earth magician who cast the fourth-level high-level magic "Earth Shake and Mountain Shake" in order to stop the army of evil spirits, which numbered more than a million.At that time, the magician had an artifact "Earth Spirit Ball" in his hand. This fourth-level magic actually completely collapsed the entire southern part of the Western Wilderness, trapping all the evil spirits in the collapsed area.

That's why thousands of years later, a barren Qinghai Lake appeared in that collapsed place. Going south from Qinghai Lake, after passing through a piece of Gobi, you will reach the edge of the dead swamp.There, it has now become Kurtz's territory.The entire northern area of ​​the Death Swamp is Kurtz's territory, and as long as the night wolf cliff is guarded, if you want to go to the Death Swamp, you must go west, bypass the entire fracture zone, and start from the northern edge of the Death Swamp. Most of the blood wolf orcs living on the edge of the death swamp gathered at the westernmost edge of the swamp.

I rode on an argali wearing a light armored antelope leather skirt, and galloped in the wilderness. Behind me, Miss Qi kept urging her mount, chasing me desperately.I cheered and saw a tall mound, driving the argali to the top.Although Qige's equestrian skills are good, but this kind of docile argali can be easily controlled without any superb equestrian skills, so I finally surpassed Miss Qi proudly.Sitting on the back of the argali at this time, although the thighs were scorchingly painful from being ground, but my heart was extraordinarily comfortable.

Miss Qi slowed me a few steps and followed me up the mound. Katerina was left far behind by the two of us.

We stand on this mound, so close, we can feel the coercion brought by this giant peak piercing into the sky.Looking up at the sky, there will always be a feeling that this mountain is falling towards me, and those clouds flow through the mountainside, making this huge peak press down on my chest and I can't breathe.At this moment, my spiritual sea suddenly lit up, and I felt the earth elements in those giant peaks. Under such circumstances, I entered a state of deep meditation.

The thick earth element breath filled every inch of space, I greedily felt the thickness of the earth element, I seemed to be alone in the mud, those thick earth elements wrapped my legs, and slowly pushed me down Pulling, I wanted to stretch out my hands to struggle, but suddenly felt that my whole body was trapped in the quagmire of earth elements, and those earth elements kept squeezing into my body, oppressing me so much that I couldn't breathe, I was so suffocated that my face was red and my ears were red, so I had to look up Panting.

At this time, the star map in my body suddenly lit up, and those nodes that gathered magic elements were like stars shining under the night.Those rich earth elements wrapped my body and slowly merged into the star map in my body, and the strong life breath of the earth began to grow in my body, and I felt it strangely at this time, I The spiritual sea is also slowly changing. Sand and sand appear under the golden sea. The sand is actually formed of pure earth elements. They are constantly nourishing the golden sea. The entire spiritual sea At this moment, it suddenly became so vivid, those foaming golden waves kissed the white and soft fine sand, and the breath of life from the earth slowly melted into the golden sea water from the fine sand.

I quietly felt the changes in my body, slowly realized the characteristics of these magic elements, and tried to use my magic perception to contact these outside magic elements, but there seemed to be an invisible membrane between us, which could be clearly seen See, but not feel.

I don't know how long it took before I woke up from deep meditation. The world in front of me became so clear that I could no longer feel the earth elements in the surrounding air. Qige sat on the side of the argali, curious He looked at me and asked, "What happened to you just now? It's like falling asleep!"

Only then did Katerina catch up from behind on an argali.
