Lion King’s Adopted Son - Chapter 20
In the situation discovered by Pascal, the people of the orc tribe are not unaware, especially those of the old Asian beasts. They have experienced the rise and fall of the tribe for generations, and their spiritual power can be released far away, and they can see the mountains. The snow that has not melted completely knows that Pascal is true.
“Go on like this, once the midsummer comes, this place will become very dangerous.” Pascal was sparing no effort to persuade the wise.
The wise man remained silent for a long time and did not immediately answer.
Since Jella talked to him last winter, he has been thinking about whether to move the tribe. Home is difficult to leave, there are too many unknown factors, and it is not easy to make a decision.
The migration of the tribe is a big thing for the entire tribe. The wise man cannot make a decision by himself, so he also invited the patriarch and called the elders to let them vote together. Unsurprisingly, most people voted against it, and some of them were even quite aggressive-criticizing outsiders for speculation-they didn’t know that the proposal to the wise man was only a young lion, and they all thought the proposal From Pascal’s mouth.
The wise do not know whether they should be happy without having to leave their homeland, or whether they should be worried about the resolute attitude of the people.
The arrival of Pascal sounded the alarm for the wise again.
The wise man pondered carefully: “I know that the weather is getting colder, and the growing season of those grasses will become shorter and shorter. There will be fewer grasses, and there will be fewer herbivores in the future. It ’s more difficult. The severe cold also prevents us from getting enough food plants, and the Asian beasts need these. But now, the situation is not at its worst, we want to wait again. “
“You and your people don’t want to leave here,” Pascal pointedly. “In the second half of last winter, most orcs were starving and frozen. However, almost no one was starved to death. In the circumstances, you are still lucky. I can understand your unwillingness to leave, but you, as a wise man in your tribe, have made such an unwise decision, which really surprised me. “
The wise man smiled bitterly: “Perhaps like you said, I am lucky to save the environment here. Our grandparents lived in this land, and we do n’t want to abandon it here at the last minute. Now, you see The wise man of the orc tribe is actually just an ordinary man with indecision. “
“So, if I tell you, staying here and waiting for the orc tribe will not just starve and freeze in winter, is it worse than you think?”
“What?” The wise man could hear the heavy meaning in Pascal’s tone, and his heart sank as well: “Did you know something?”
…
As the hottest summer season is approaching, everyone in the orc tribe is ordered to move. A small hill is now crowded with people. They are climbing over the mountains, crossing the hill where they live, and reaching the inaccessible peak next to them. As long as they climb the peak and find the passage in the peak, they can reach the outside world.
Many orcs and Asian beasts have never left the small hills where they live, and naturally they have not seen the three bustling cities and nine small cities outside. But at this moment, they are not at all pleased that they are about to see the outside world.
Even though the temperature in the four seasons is now colder than in previous years, the exposure under the hot summer sun is still beyond everyone’s ability. Not to mention the Asian beasts that have always been spoiled, even the orcs who hunted outside for a long time and were rough and rough. In summer, they usually choose to hunt in the Qing Dynasty to stray from the hottest days.
The hot sweat swirled along the sticky skin, and finally someone could not help complaining: “What does the wise man mean, why did we suddenly order all of us to move away? Even pots and pans and bedding Without letting us clean up, we were only allowed to bring water and food for a few days. “
“I heard that a terrible disaster is about to happen. The wise man will take us to flee.”
The wise man’s prestige in the ethnic group has always been very high, so although his instructions were contrary to the wishes of everyone, some people subconsciously defended the wise man.
“What disaster?” As soon as he heard this, the man was bluffed and suppressed his voice, for fear that his voice would be loud, the disaster would really come: “Master Wise is the sacrifice of the orcs, did he get from the beast **** Instructions? “
“My brother is doing things next to the patriarch, and I know it better. The wise man said to the patriarch, that in the near future, there may be floods here, and the floods will flood the hills where we live. So we have to leave here. “An orc boy said.
“Flood? But there has never been a flood in our area.” An Asian beast said unbelievably, “Don’t be a wise man!”
“Master Wise is a messenger of God, how could it be wrong?” The orc boy was questioned and very dissatisfied.
“No, no, fierce!” Yaju glanced at him, turned his head and talked to his companion beside him.
Although everyone’s steps were exhausted and heavy, the team was still moving towards the peak at a slow pace without stopping.
The patriarch glanced at Claire, who was a few steps behind her, carrying a parcel on her back, holding Jella in her hand. The man who always made him hate itchy teeth was not beside them.
The steps under his feet paused briefly, looking back in the direction of the statue of the beast god, and intense worries appeared in his pupils.
The wise are not here, Pascal is not here, and several elders of the clan and followers of a small number of elders are also not here.
The moment he looked back, Claire led Gela to his side: “Don’t worry, the wise and Pascal will persuade them.”
“No, you don’t know the elders, the image of the beast **** is there, and they will not leave.” His eyesight was very good, and he could see a high mountain a few distances from them at a glance. It is the largest mountain here, and it is also considered the most sacred mountain. Even when the statue of the beast was built, it was in the direction of that mountain.
After a long and cold winter, the mountains were covered with snow and ice. Due to the high altitude and low temperature, the breath of spring failed to melt the snow and ice on the mountain top and the mountainside. Only the snow and ice at the foot of the mountain melted away one after another. But in the hot summer, the snow and ice on the surface of the mountain began to collapse and slide on a large scale.
It is clear at a glance what situation the so much snow and water will bring.
At first, the patriarch did not notice this. He didn’t feel a shock until Pascal took him personally to observe the snow mountain up close.
If Pascal didn’t remind them, if they stayed on the little hill when the flood came, no one knew if they could see the next spring.
Patriarchs and wise men chose to follow Pascal’s advice and move out from here. But it is clear that not everyone supports them.
Relying on the weight of patriarchs and wise men in the clan is enough for most of the clan people to follow them, but the elders and their supporters do not buy it. They don’t think they should leave the idol and leave their hometown anyway. Even if a disaster is imminent, you should pray to Beast God for help instead of running away like a bereavement dog.
The wise men and Pascal went to persuade this group of people.
Intellectually, the wise man knows that the possibility that the elders will leave with himself is very low, but emotionally, he cannot watch these old folks who come together up and down together to send them to death without listening, so After the big troops set off, he came back here, doing his last effort.
“You don’t have to persuade us anymore, Ugh.” Since the civilization of the tribe is not as prosperous as the outside world, the names of all the people in the tribe are very simple.
The elders knelt reverently before the statue of the beast god, and faced with the wise men who had deliberately persuaded them to persuade them, their eyelids were not raised: “Since the day we became the sacrifice of the beast god, we have decided. They will never abandon the Beast God Master. Only under the protection of the Beast God Master, our tribe can flourish. “
“We just want to live. The beast **** has always sheltered us, and he must hope that his followers can live.” The wise man said: “Every one of us respects the beast **** from the heart, and the beast **** must be able to He will not blame us when he sees us. “
“Stop! You betrayer!” Elder Luan was very angry: “You dare to say that the beast **** will forgive you, you are really shameless! Of all our sacrifices, only you can hear the beast god’s teachings Do you know how high this glory is? Do you know how envious we are that you can get the favor of Lord Beast God? Now, you have decided to listen to the nonsense of this outsider and depart from our Beast God. Lord! You are ridiculous! You will be punished by Lord Beast God! “
“If you don’t leave here, once the floods break out, you will really die! Lord Beast God will not come to save you! Since the Beast God Lord arrived ten years ago, I have never heard his voice again! Luan, Ye, Xun, we have experienced so many crises, and finally managed to survive with the hope of the people. Are you really planning to give up your life here? “
“Don’t say more, wise man.” The followers of the elders, one of the elder’s orc sons stood up, looking at the old Asian orc’s eyes with no respect: “Although I respectfully call you a wise man, I think You have lost the qualification to be called like this. You go, my father, and all the believers here, are loyal to the beast god, we will not leave. We firmly believe that the beast **** will not abandon His follower! It’s you– “He said scornfully,” If we can see you again in the future, I will certainly break your true face from the people! I hope you will live to that time! “
During the time of stalemate, thunder and lightning flashed across the sky. Soon, heavy raindrops of beans fell down intensively, causing pain on human skin. In the sound of the torrential rain, a surge of waves overwhelmed all the arguments. A huge wave of snow and water converged on the hill. Due to the low height of the hill, it was quickly passed over the foot of the mountain and approached the mountainside. …
Pascal immediately took the initiative, ran the wise men back in the direction that Gela had gone, leaving the elders’ horrified voice behind.
“Wait … wait …” As soon as the wise man wanted to speak, a big breath of air was poured into his mouth, causing him to snore.
In the high-speed progress, Pascal’s voice was like a jigsaw that was dismantled one by one, and then regrouped together: “If you don’t leave, you will be too late.”
The cold wind roared past the two of them. At this moment, the two had no time to talk, and could only try to maintain their state during this mad run. On several occasions, the wise man felt that the turbulent current was catching up with them, and even had stained his clothes.
But Pascal accelerated and threw the water behind him every time. He just kept accelerating, constantly accelerating, pointing and even wondering what the limit of this man from the outside is, or that the limit is. Does he really exist?
Finally, the two stopped at a hill where the flood could not reach. Pascal was breathing heavily on the mountain wall, and the wise man looked back at the mountainside with painful eyes–
The turbulent water completely destroyed the altar they built. The tall beast **** image, the little black spots that were originally faintly visible, are gone …
The wise man’s eyes were dry and dry, no tears shed, but his heart twitched badly. He felt that something in his heart collapsed with the devastating flood.
