Chapter 16
Snow flakes scattered on Galia's head, clinging to her skin coldly, which was really uncomfortable. Galia can only shake his head constantly, sprinkling the snowflakes or ice slag.
It didn't know how long it had been, but it felt Kliel stop and let out an exclamation.
It raised its head and saw a huge statue standing in front of it. When the orcs and the sub-orcs saw the statue, they all showed pious eyes. It seemed that the sculpture on it was their beast god. The statue was not as kind-hearted as the god statues Galia had seen in temples or churches in her previous life. On the contrary, it gave Galia a very strange feeling.
Most people who believe in gods believe that God is merciful. They love the world and will save the world from suffering. Those carved statues also give people a sense of holiness. But the "God" in front of him gave Galia a totally different feeling.
First of all, he is very real, too real, every detail on his body is carved clearly, full of the feeling of reality, it is not like people imagined out of thin air at all. His clothes and the things he uses are incompatible with the orcs' blogs, and the orcs regard these differences as a symbol of the god. But in Galia's eyes, these things are more like products from advanced civilizations. Looking at the clothes resembling spacesuits on "God", Galia even felt a sense of space-time confusion. It’s really not a science fiction world, right?
Secondly, Galia's eyes and facial expressions of "God" make Galia feel very uncomfortable. He is indeed smiling, but that smile seems to have a deep meaning and does not contain any emotions such as care or compassion. Even if there is only a statue in front of him, it can convey the subtle and weird emotions in the smile of ‘God’—Galia doesn’t know what that emotion means, but at least it can be certain that it does not mean friendship.
"Hey, Galia!" Kliel whispered to the little lion sitting on his shoulders, "Look, what did I see! God, why is the god Bramandini here?"
Galia raised his front paw and pointed at the statue, and also whispered: "The one over there is the Bramandini god you said, but he is also the beast god of the orc tribe. It seems that you have the same thing as the orc tribe. faith."
"I'm really surprised, oh, are God Bra and Beast God really the same god? How could you know that since we have civilized records, we have never communicated with the orc tribe, but now I actually found that we Believe in the same deity. So, does it mean that we have the same ancestor?" Kliel shook his head again to deny his guess: "Oh, maybe it is not God Bra, but he looks very similar to God Bra. "
"Maybe the beast god and your Brahman are twin brothers, who knows, don't deny it, this is also a possibility. I am very curious about the so-called'god', maybe we can find the answer together." Galia Surrounded by both hands, it looks like a scholar.
Kliel was amused: "Oh, okay, then I'm looking forward to your discovery, dear. But, are we not respectful enough for God Bramandani in this way" Although she admires God Bramandene, she is not a stereotype The believers do not stick to form. Although she said to be a sacrifice to God Bra, she actually understood that she didn't like this kind of occasion at all. Just like now, the lengthy and dull ceremony can drive her crazy.
Galia pulled Kliel's sleeve slightly, and Kliel realized that she and Galia had become the focus of the orcs. The ears of the orcs are mostly very keen. They are dissatisfied with someone whispering on this solemn sacrifice, turning their heads and condemning her and Galia with stern eyes. Kliel shut his mouth immediately, shrank in the corner like a quail, silently reducing his sense of presence. She lowered her head, pretending that she was praying to the beast god, but in her heart she was still thinking about the connection between the beast god and Bra.
Galia was more uncontrollable than Kliel. He closed his eyes for a while, not hearing the call from the beast god, but felt drowsy. It would be a big deal if she fell asleep on this occasion. Galia opened her eyes and shook her hairy head, driving away her deep sleepiness. Afraid of being heard by orcs with sensitive ears, it even dared not pat its own face with its paws.
The people around were in a state and began to listen to the voice of the beast god. Seeing this, Galia let go of her holding heart a little, and looked around carefully. In the crowd, it met the only Pascal whose eyes were open, and looked at each other. Pascal gave it a warning look, then turned its head and stared blankly at the statue in front of him. Thinking about things, still in a daze.
Galia: "╯!" This guy has some spare time to warn him! Isn’t it said that the people in the three major cities all believe in the god Bramandini? Now his god—well, the beast god who looks exactly like his god is right in front of him. He doesn’t want to hug his thighs. , What a small difference in half-heartedly! Staring at it!
The ritual lasts for a long time, and it tests people's physical strength. The orcs are better, but the Asian beasts who are never used to suffering from fatigue can not stand it. At first they were able to maintain a straight posture, but later, they had begun to sway, quietly shifting the center of gravity from the left foot to the right foot, and from the right foot back to the left foot.
The orcs didn't notice their condition, but this time, the orcs who had always been tolerant of them didn't condone them. The patriarch said, "Go through it! This is the test that the beast god gave us. As long as we can pass the test, we can get the blessing of the beast god!"
After saying this, he deliberately glanced in the direction of Galia and Kliel.
Galia, who was slipping quietly along Kliel's back, was caught upright, her expression stiffened, her paws didn't catch Kliel's clothes, and she hit the ground with a "boom".
The patriarch gave Galia an uncomfortable look, then closed his eyes again. With so many small movements, it will be regarded as disrespectful to the animal god, and this little lion may not be protected by the animal god. However, he decided not to remind it, who made it a nasty little guy, it kept sticking to Kliel.
The ceremony continued into the evening. Galia and Kliel don't need to eat every meal. They were full at the last meal, so they weren't bothered by hunger during the ceremony. The whole ceremony was so boring. The girl Kliel was suffocated. She left the altar hurriedly as soon as the ceremony was over: "Little Galia, remember to keep up."
At this time, she could not move Galia anymore, she could only hold Galia's small paw. At this time, other people around also left the scene one after another. Once the flow of people passed, Kliel and Galia were quickly dispersed.
Galia was really exhausted, and his stamina was far inferior to Kliel and Pascal. After being washed away from Kliel, they could only stagger afterwards, which was really miserable. Although it moved faster with Kliel, it was considered the first to leave, but now it has completely fallen into the siege of large forces. The large army is moving towards the cave where they live, and the crowded people look very spectacular. As Galia maintained the form of a little lion and the altitude was too low, it almost had a stampede on her body.
Just when it was about to be trampled into meatloaf by a black bear orc, someone grabbed it by the tail and quickly pulled it up.
"Thank you." Although the way the person came was a bit rough, he saved Galia after all, and Galia was not ignorant of good or bad.
"You don't need to tell me these two words. Otherwise, I will think you want to draw a clear line with me." A familiar voice rang in his ears, and Galia immediately recognized that the voice belongs to its unpleasant Foster father.
In fact, Galia wants to say, are they not so familiar?
"Why, Kliel left you and go first" Pascal deliberately looked around for a while, and then pretended to sigh: "You see, at the critical moment, only Dad can be trusted."
"Well, you are more reliable." Galia was very tired and didn't have the energy to do bickering, but fortunately he spoke to Pascal.
Pascal smiled and lifted Galia up: "I'm glad you finally realized this. In the future, I hope you will find Kliel less."
"Wait, stop shaking, my head is dizzy." Galia stopped Pascal in a state of excitement, almost pleadingly: "Let's go back first, okay"
Pascal felt a mass of things spread in his heart, warm, giving him an indescribable sense of comfort. It seemed that this was the first time the cub spoke to him in such a dependent tone. It turns out that it feels so good to be dependent on my own cubs.
Pascal grouped Galia into a ball and hugged him, feeling Galia's warm fluff up and down, his heart became rare and soft.
"Why don't you be human so that they may be able to see you, and you won't be almost stepped on."
"I tried, but I can't change back into a human form." Galia said: "I always feel that since I stepped into the territory of an orc, it has become very difficult to change between a human form and an animal form."
"Maybe this is the same as we can't use elemental power in the orc's territory. Something is protecting the people here, or in other words, limiting the energy from the outside world."
"Maybe..." Maybe she was too tired, and halfway through talking, Galia started to doze.
"Hey, kid, are you asleep?"
"...Hmm" Galia muttered vaguely.
Pascal smiled, it seemed that this was the first time the little guy showed such a defenseless posture in front of him.
Just as Pascal was enjoying the rare peaceful time with her beloved son, Kliel went all the way up the current and came back again: "My lord, what about Galia," the girl panted.
She couldn't ignore her loud voice, and Galia opened her eyes in a daze and reached out to Kliel.
Pascal tickled his teeth with hate: "You want her to hug you and you are not afraid that she will fall you!" What emotions said just now that father is the most reliable is to coax him!
In the end Galia certainly never left Pascal's arms, but because of this episode, Pascal did not give Kliel a good face along the way.
...
After the sacrifice, everyone returned to their daily lives. Pascal and Kliel staggered time to participate in hunting. When they were free, they would learn about the situation of the orc tribe, such as the civilization heritage of the orc tribe, such as the original power of the orcs and the spiritual power of the sub-beasts.
According to the wise men of the tribe, just as the god Bra suddenly appeared on the prairie, the beast god also suddenly appeared on this mountain. At that time, the ancestors of the orcs were still very weak, it was difficult for them to get prey, and they were on the verge of extinction. It was the beast god who gave them wisdom and strength, which made them survive and no longer endure the cold and hunger. Beast gods gave the orcs such a blessing. Therefore, the orc tribe’s respect for the beast god is even greater than that of the three major cities for the god Bra.
"It's another story of a savior." Pascal only gave such an evaluation after listening.
"Master Pascal, you are so disrespectful to the gods, so you may be punished by the gods." Kliel said dissatisfiedly: "Fortunately, the wise man has left. If he hears you, believe it or not, you must Will be driven out of the orc tribe immediately!"
"I can't ask for it." Pascal said indifferently. If it wasn't for Galia to learn how to use its power, if it wasn't for the damn alliance, he wouldn't stay here: "I only believe in myself, and I will never ask Bramand who doesn't know where he is. The pity of Nepal or the beast god."
Kliel spread his hands and said, "It's up to you. Anyway, Galia and I won't go with you. Maybe, after we get out of here, Galia won't recognize you."
"It dares!" Pascal snorted coldly.
"Why, you are really considering this possibility. I just assume that Brashen is on top. However, you'd better not say this anymore-people who challenge everyone's perception often have no good end."
"Of course, I won't say it casually in front of others. I'm not that stupid." Pascal gave Kliel a deep look. "Tell me, Kliel, do you really worship the so-called Bramandini?"
Kliel twitched her mouth, somehow, her smile was far-fetched: "Of course."
"But your mother was put to death because of that ‘god’."
"Don't say it, it's all bad for mother, mother shouldn't offend God Bra." Kliel's face was very bad, and his eyes lost the original agile look: "As long as you believe in God Bra and worship God Bra, you will not be bad Will come..." She kept muttering, as if this was an unquestionable truth.
Pascal didn't want to irritate the girl any more, and did not speak any more, and there was a strange silence between the two.
Galia didn't know this, it was now experiencing the astonished gaze of the small Asian beasts in class.
"Oh my God, how can you be an orc?" The baby bear who had a good relationship with Galia widened his eyes, and did a lot of mental preparations before finally accepting Galia's identity.
"You know, I come from the outside world. Although I am a male, I am a little different from the orcs of your tribe."
The baby leopard was a little lack of heart and eyes, and was not bothered by Galia's gender issue at all. Instead, he stared at Galia's fluffy golden hair covetously, and swallowed: "I, can I touch it?" It felt certain. Will be very comfortable! The baby leopard imagined Maomao's touch and showed a happy expression.
Three black lines slid down Galia's head: "...Yes."
However, it soon discovered that it had made a stupid decision.
Didn't it mean that class is about to start? Why are the friends so leisurely, they start to line up to touch it! Galia felt sadly that it had become an animal in the zoo for people to visit.
Since the baby leopard first touched Galia's hair and said "good, good" on his mouth, everyone only picked his hair to touch. Mao will be bald, okay!
Galia has never looked forward to the arrival of Teacher Ya Beast like this one. Although he is a bit turbulent, although he always likes to talk about his marriage history, he can at least save it from the deep water!
When Teacher Yamon stepped into the classroom and was greeted by a row of gazes, he was still a little confused.
He put the wooden board in his hand: "Let’s start the class. Today we are teaching about the physiology of orcs and sub-beasts. I count to ten. Those who have not yet returned to their seats will accept my punishment. One, two ..." The little Asian beasts rushed back to their seats. Just kidding, it's not fun to be watched by this teacher.
As a result, only a small lion with messy hair remained in the field of view of Teacher Ya Beast. Seeing the teacher looking over, the little lion blinked his eyes and looked at him innocently.
The teacher frowned and said, "Who put the little orc in, don't you know that this is the class of the Asian beast?" He looked at the little lion and said unceremoniously, "Or, you plan to become one of us. Take on the responsibility of having children, no. Wait, why do I feel the spiritual power from you"
The little lion said weakly: "I am Galia, I am not a beast, but the patriarch asked me to continue to learn spiritual power from you."
...
Galia was put between a group of furry little animals, and she gave Yaju teacher a little confused.
Teacher Ya Beast said: "My class this morning is specially prepared for Ya Beasts. Since you are not A Beast, you don’t need to listen. You can learn fighting skills from the orc cubs here. Wait until the afternoon I will talk. I will pick you up when you have mental strength. By the way, you can’t transform yourself and feel more about the way of life belonging to the orcs, you can learn.” He said to himself: “Oh, I just don’t understand. How can you be regarded as a sub-beast as an orc cub like you!"
So, Galia was inexplicably kicked out of the classroom by the teacher.
A bunch of small animals appeared in front of it, there were rabbit cubs, chicken cubs, monkey cubs, deer cubs, tiger cubs, wolf cubs, bear cubs, leopard cubs, lion cubs... a large group of furry cubs arched into a ball, it was so lively.
When Galia arrived, the chubby cubs who had been raised up were huddled together. The fighting process completely violated the rules of nature's food chain. For example, a very strong chicken cub was facing a thin bear cub. After a fierce peck, the bear cub was bullied so much that there was no way to fight back. For example, the monkey cub used his skill and flexibility to hang on the tiger cub and swing on a swing, but the tiger cub couldn't get it off...
Seeing Galia, the boys' movements collectively stopped for a second.
Jiji Jiji Jiji Jiji Jiji Jiji (a blow to the newcomers how ah)
Baa, baa, baa! (Okay, how to do it)
Wailing wailing woo woo woo wailing wailing , wailing wailing woo woo Ow ( as we together on it to get on the ground )
Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho! (Just do it!)
Galia could not understand the language of the little orcs at all, but found that they were all rushing towards her. So it was submerged in an instant...
...
