my age of magic

163 Chapter 163. The Death of Grybaschin

The wheel of time keeps moving forward, he engraves the lines of life on everyone's body, every wrinkle is the trace left by him, no one would have thought that this time, on the eighth day of departure, The old orc Gribasqin fell without warning. This incident made the orcs of the Raitu tribe feel very heavy. Everyone's gloomy face was like a rainy day in early summer.

At noon that day, the old orc Gribaschin seemed to feel that something was wrong with his body. At that time, he was riding on the argali finger and pointed to the gray mountains in the distance and told the orc children beside him: "Look, O! Greg, we just have to go over that big mountain ahead and we'll see our home."

"Oh my god, that's great. We're going home. I kind of want to eat the sweet potatoes in our swamp." A werewolf child of the orc race who was following behind Gribaschin heard Griba's expression on his face. Ribaschin immediately jumped up excitedly, turned his head and shouted to his mother who was walking in the line not far away: "Grandma, grandma, we are going home soon!"

The orcs of the Raitu tribe in the team opened their mouths when they heard the cry of the orc children, and their eyes showed light of hope. They all wanted to look ahead together, as if the endless wasteland in front of them was theirs. Home, joy infects every person in the tribe.Those orc girls who joined the tribe from outside were also pulled to look at the gray mountains in the distance. There will always be enthusiastic orcs around them talking about the richness of the land, how rich the products are there, and the climate. What a pleasant room.

However, at this moment, Gribaschin suddenly looked serious. He stopped the argali under his crotch and tried to jump off the argali, but his body shook on the back of the argali, and his hands firmly grasped the argali. Holding the reins, sweat broke out on his wrinkled old face.Aoge ran up at the side, stood aside and helped Gribasqin off the argali.

"Help me to the side of the stone to do it, let me breathe. I am old, and my body is useless!" Gribasqin patted the rough arm of the orc child Ogg, and said with relief: " Children who eat meat grow stronger. Seeing that your arms are so thick, you have to be a brave person like Kurtz and Jijia in the future. Our orc werewolves have always been a nation known for their bravery. .”

"Understood, Grandpa!" Ogg helped Gribaschin to the edge of the stone.

Gribaschin patted Ogg's hand, and said slowly: "Help me call Kuz and Jijia over, and your sister Gerile, oh, I'll rest here for a while, you go Bar!"

When we rushed over, the old orc Gribaschin was sitting cross-legged under the shadow of the big rock. His face was as golden as paper, the wrinkles on his forehead had all faded away, and his glasses became bright. He kindly greeted us to sit down.There are very old rumors in the orc tribe that once the forehead lines on the forehead of the old people are scattered, it is because the hand of the god envoy who is in charge of life and death under the beast god has pressed their hands on his head to take them back to the embrace of the orc.At this time, the old people who are about to die have come into contact with the power of the gods. At this time, they will be extremely energetic and clear-headed for a quarter of an hour, which also means that it is time to arrange funeral arrangements.

There have even been rumors that certain powerful shamans understood the secret at this moment before they died, but the rumors are not credible.

At this time, it was time to rest, the team stopped, the argali needed to drink water and eat grass, and the tribe orcs would gather together to take the opportunity to rest for a while.With more than 100 argali that can be used for transportation, the orc girls in the tribe can take turns riding argali, which can save a lot of energy.The current Raitu tribe has successively taken in more than 400 fleeing orcs along the way.

The vast majority of these orcs are women, some of them have children, and a small number of them are old orcs. When the men in their tribe went hunting in the depths of the wilderness, they did not expect their homes to be destroyed by the dead swamp. The crawling zombies invaded, and these orcs had nothing to do with those zombies, so they had to walk and escape along the way, and lived in the wasteland by digging wild vegetables all day long.It was the old orc Gribaschin who resisted all opinions and took in these hungry, yellow and emaciated orcs. He walked all the way back from Gludin Town to return home.They were full of gratitude to the old orc.

Everyone is full of confidence in their new lord. The great-grandson of the orc shaman high priest Kulpaulos is a very talented hunter and a warrior. Fighting against wolves, he can enter the wilderness alone to hunt the wind-like magic antelope. The orcs in the team all recognize this new leader very much.Especially the orc girls of Raitu, who have followed Kuz from the northern footland wasteland to the present. After the leader of Raitu abandoned them, in fact, the tribe of Raitu has always been Elder Gribasqin Responsible for management, but almost all orcs think that Kurz is the new leader of the Raitu tribe.

Seeing Gerila sitting on the sidelines already weeping, Grebasqin squeezed Gerila's hand and said with a smile: "Gerile is already a big girl, but it's a pity that grandpa didn't get to see you get married. , but you look handsome, very much like your grandma who died young. There are many boys in the tribe who secretly like you, and these grandpas can see it. You are kind, cheerful and lively by nature, and you are destined to be happy in your life .”

Gribasqin stroked Geryl's head gently, comforting his little granddaughter, and then looked up at Kurtz beside him, with expectant eyes in his eyes.Kuz was stunned for a moment, and was speechless for a moment. At this time, the people around Gribaschin followed his gaze and looked at Kuz. Slightly sweating, his face was embarrassed, and he turned around and fled.

Gribaschin wanted to wave his hand to call him back, but stretched out his hand halfway, but changed his mind, retracted his hand, and then looked up at me. At this time, I felt that the old orc's eyes seemed to be able to see through A person's mind is like the old Kuru at a certain moment, he looked at me carefully from top to bottom, the puzzled expression in his eyes became more and more serious, and he looked at me more and more hairy.

"How do you feel now?" I asked cautiously, "Is it because you are not feeling well? Kurz and I bought a lot of rare magical herbs along the way. We just received a few mature plants of cistanche a few days ago , this thing may be of some help to your body."

At this time, Sister Guoguo also rushed over. The orcs all knew that she was a great magician. For the magician of the human race, the orcs kept awe in their hearts and stepped aside.Sister Guoguo walked over quickly, squatted beside me and asked, "How is it? What's wrong?"

With a light touch of her hand, a group of water elements had already condensed in the palm of her hand. I felt very dizzy at this moment, and felt that the flow of time and space suddenly became extremely slow. Under such a strange flow of time, the surrounding people All the orcs were in a state of stagnation, only Sister Guoguo in front of her was moving normally. She also looked at me in surprise at this time, and the look of surprise in her eyes was exactly the same as that of the old Kuru back then.But she had no time to talk to me, and in this state, she couldn't hold on for too long, so she calmed down, drew a beautiful magic circle in her hand, and chanted a lengthy spell in her mouth, Just when the incantation and magic circle were about to end, this weird flow of time suddenly disappeared without a trace, and everything returned to normal.

ah!It must have been "time stagnation" just now, I said why does it feel so familiar!The magic skills that Sister Guoguo just cast must be extremely cumbersome, otherwise she would never have activated the "time stagnation" to perfectly integrate the magic spells with the magic circle, in order to be able to successfully cast magic.A strong water element poured into Gribaschin's body with the vitality of life.

"Spa!"

Sister Guoguo, who is an auxiliary magician of the water system, learned her first magic skill "Water Bouncing" when she was a magician apprentice at the seventh level, but when she was at the ninth level, her water skills After the elemental magic affinity met the requirements, she actually gave up on comprehending the ice magic "Ice Condensation", and instead took the path of assisting a water-like magician.

However, when the spell full of resilience fell on Gribaschin, there was no response at all.Sister Guoguo's face changed slightly, and she was about to cast it again, but was stopped by Gribaschin. The old orc waved his hand and shook his head and said, "It's useless, don't waste magic power in vain. I can be promoted to become a real shaman, but I have been an orc witch doctor for decades, and no one in the world knows my own body better than me."

"If everyone is compared to a jar filled with water, the two children Kuz and Jijia are like a clay mold. No one knows how big their jar will be until the last moment, and the girl You are almost filling a jar that you have not filled with water, and one day you will find that you will encounter an insurmountable bottleneck. As for me, I am actually a broken jar full of holes. Cracks, no matter how much water you pour, you won’t be able to keep a single drop! Hehe, what regrets do I have at this age!”

The old orc Gribasqin looked calm, his eyes were full of pity and love, he looked at Geril in his arms, and said calmly: "Don't always be lazy in the future, be more diligent Son, don't be too stubborn, we orc girls don't know how to be gentle, but we must be sensible, as the saying goes, we must distinguish between love and hate, as long as we think it is right, we must stick to it."

Geriler nodded with a sob, and Gribasqin looked at me again, his eyes suddenly became very bright, and then that kind of understanding appeared in his eyes, and his expression slowly became a little Excited, perhaps because his breathing was not smooth, he took a few breaths and then coughed continuously. It took a long time for him to calm down. At this time, there was still a purple blood stain on the corner of his mouth.

He looked at me and said pointedly: "I finally understand a little bit... why those gray dwarves were defeated by the javelins of these women from the Raitu tribe. As you said, victory is built up by relying on gold coins, hahahaha, the reason this girl said is really very good! This is true and true!"

I felt that the old orc Gribaschin seemed to have seen the secret in me. Just when I was worried about this, I heard him say: "I know, I know. I only hope that one day in the future, when Greg When Ri Le is in trouble, you can help her because of the friendship we have had together today."

"I promise you, when I have the ability, I will do it!" I quickly agreed.

"That's good, that's good!" Gribaschin smiled reassuringly, his body was already exhausted, his eyelids were drooping all the time, but he still refused to close his eyes.

The reason is that I know he still can't let go of Geryl, but where did Kurtz go at this time?The orcs of the Raitu tribe have already gathered around them. When the orc werewolves face death, they are very quiet, because they always believe that the beast god will send an envoy to guide them back to the beast god. They are afraid Offended the envoy of God, that's why he was so quiet.The orcs were not around the boulder, humming a slightly sad song on the wasteland.

"It's time to give up, love and hate go with the wind, go home, never cry again, leave with love, reunite in heaven, and it sounds again, the melody of the requiem, it's time to forget, everything goes with the wind, Let everything return to zero, love and hatred finally subside..."

The faint sadness of parting in the song infected everyone in the tribe, I even secretly envied, if one day I die, I also hope that someone will miss me like this.Just as I was thinking wildly, the sound of eager running sounded from far to near. I turned my head and saw Kuz running over eagerly with a roll of luggage.

When Kurtz, who was sweating profusely, ran in front of the old orc Gribaschin, the already weak old orc finally raised his head again, his eyes shone with hope, and his lips kept trembling. But still can't make a sound.At this time, he looked extremely old, and even a strong wind would take him away.

Kuz knelt in front of the old orc, and slowly opened the luggage roll in his arms. It turned out to be a brand new magic antelope skin. He hesitated, as if he was organizing his own language, and then hit himself with his fist. He raised his head and looked at the old orc and said firmly: "Although I still have two months left before I can participate in the tribal adult ceremony, I want to say to you at this time: I want to marry Geryl Be my wife, please marry her to me, I am willing to use this magic antelope skin as my bride price, I swear that I will make her happy all her life!"

Although the words are short, the words are powerful and come from the heart.

When Gerile heard what Kurtz said, she cried even more fiercely. Looking at her red and swollen eyes, I felt that this girl was really pitiful.

After hearing what Kurtz said, the old orc Gribasqin finally showed a gratified smile. He laughed triumphantly and said, "I don't care if you participate in any coming-of-age ceremony or not, and I don't want any precious dowry. In my eyes, nothing is as important as the happiness of my little granddaughter, you made this oath in front of me, I hope you will keep it in mind."

The old orc looked at me again, and then said pleadingly: "I hope someone here will be a witness!"

I have been sitting next to Gribaschin, and I just noticed that the old orc has been trying his best to prolong his life, because this last thing has not been completed, and her little granddaughter has not been found One to rely on, he can't go with regrets.At this time, the old orc was out of breath, and he relied on the breath in his chest for support. Seeing this situation, my heart was so soft that I nodded and agreed without a moment's hesitation, "I'm a witness!"

Gribasqin finally raised his head and laughed, put Gerile's hand into Kuz's big hand, and said three times: "Okay! Good! Good!" Gone!

I thought to myself that the old orc had failed to bring the Raitu tribe back to Drowning Poor, and died on the way.Like the wise Meyana, he has a compassionate and kind heart. If he hadn't been bound by the tribe, maybe he would have walked alone in the wilderness like the wise Meyana, teaching the orcs how to survive.

The three of us, Kuz and Geril, dug a pit on the side of the big rock, wrapped the body of the old orc with the dowry gift of Kuz - the magic antelope skin, tied it with straw ropes and put it in the pit. After the soil was filled, the big stone was moved to the top and a mark was carved on the stone.In order to make it easier to find it when there is a chance to worship in the future.

Gribasqin just walked away calmly, after he found a way out for the entire Raitu tribe, he left quietly.

He left Kurtz with a helpless orc girl and a whole tribe of orcs.It left a strong backer for the Raitu tribe.

I stood up and looked at the pale gray mountains in the distance. It is said that behind the distant mountain is the eastern edge of the Death Swamp, where the Death Swamp meets the fault zone and Yelian Mountain, forming a very complicated hilly area. There is also a three-way junction connecting the western wilderness, the dead swamp, and the depths of the wilderness.

On the horizon in the distance, there are a few fast horses galloping, and the dust is flying behind the riders on the horses.

Sister Guoguo stood beside me, frowning and covering the glare of the sun with her hands, looked into the distance, and said to me: "It's Weilu and the others who are back!"

Viru left in the morning, and did not come back on fast horses with a team of windchasers until dusk.The footsteps of Gu Bolai's horses are extremely fast, and this road is galloping with horses, so it only took one day to run the distance that our large army needs to travel for a week. They went to the drowning berth in the death swamp and brought it back News of drowning.
