Chapter 146 The weak
brother? bird?
Lawrence quickly realized that the younger brother was referring to himself. Delenn thought that he was her kind, so he called her younger brother.
The bird refers to the crow on his body. Delen actually does not believe Salil's words and does not think he is a wizard.
My attitude changed today, probably because I feel that I really have witchcraft.
"Gah!"
The crow stood for a long time and soon made a meaningless cry.
Delenn turned his head and looked here.
Lawrence quickly comforted the crow, "Stop croaking, stop crowing. Delenn means no harm. I'm not talking about you." The
crow tilted its head and looked at Lawrence curiously, seemingly not understanding what Lawrence meant.
Lawrence reached out and grabbed the crow, gently lifting it up.
"Let's go out and play. I'll call you when we eat."
After the crow was thrown out, it quickly flew away.
Delenn asked at this time: "Can your bird help us find a moose?"
"It's probably dead, but not alive." Lawrence explained: "It led us to find a dead moose before."
Delen nodded, "It doesn't matter, we'll catch them alive."
Lawrence followed Delen and soon saw five other Cloda people.
Lawrence asked: "Are these people enough?"
Delenn explained: "You don't need too many people to hunt. If there are too many people, the prey will easily escape early."
Lawrence asked again: "Is it easy to hunt here?"
Delenn explained As he walked forward, he said: "It's easy to find prey. The moose here are just like the bears and seals in the ice sea. They are very stupid."
Lawrence knew how to catch seals.
Several people were waiting outside the cave where the seal showed its head, waiting for the seal to show its head.
Catching a bear is also easy. Bears in winter can easily lose consciousness, especially when licking iron tools, and their tongues may freeze. As long as you set a trap where the bear passes, most of the ambushed bears will be killed.
The danger of bears is mainly due to sudden encounters. When unprepared humans encounter an unweakened bear, it is a delicious meal delivered to their doorstep.
Doug and others were ill-prepared to kill wild boar casualties. Although they had enough people, they failed to set up traps, which resulted in casualties in head-to-head encounters.
The prey here in the north are all easy to hunt. As long as the prey's activity area can be determined, even giant whales can be killed.
The Vakiri can go out to hunt whales in small boats, and the Cloda people led by Delen also have the ability to hunt bears and pigs.
Lawrence asked again: "Aren't you going to catch bears and pigs?"
Delen whispered: "If you can't find them, and there's no shortage of food, you won't hunt them, you'll just drive them away a little." "
If there's too much food and fruit, you won't catch them." I will collect some and throw them near their nests. Recently, I have taken a liking to a violent wild boar. After its offspring appear, I will catch one and tame it." Lawrence didn't know what kind of pig a violent wild boar was. There seemed to be many kinds of wild boars here
. .
Some are the size of wild dogs, others resemble moving hills.
"Stop talking." Delen reminded softly, and then walked towards a dense grass.
There is an open space in the grass, and a pair of antlers of different shapes are placed in the open space.
Delen walked to the clearing and picked up the antlers, while Salil pulled the two of them behind Delen.
Lawrence found that the remaining Cloda people had picked up stone axes and spears and were on guard for something.
Soon, Delen raised the antlers, and while squatting in the tall jute grass, the two antlers collided with each other on the head.
The antlers made a clashing sound, as if they were fighting with each other.
Lawrence saw that the others were waiting quietly, so he also looked around.
The five Clodas looked at different locations, which were obscured by dense jute poles.
Jute is an upright herbaceous plant that is taller than flax and prefers a warm climate and requires fertile soil.
The fiber of this plant is rougher and suitable for making sacks, cardboard, straw paper and the like.
It would be a bit prickly for making clothes, not as good as linen.
While Lawrence was thinking about the materials around him, he suddenly heard the sound of walking.
A few seconds later, a moose curiously broke into the clearing with the sound of its antlers clicking.
Both sides came to a standstill in just 0.001 seconds.
Immediately afterwards, the lured moose turned around and ran away.
Salil quickly flew an ax to the moose's head, and at the same time, the surrounding Cloda people also stabbed their spears into the moose's neck and eyes.
With just one look, this huge moose was brought to the ground.
At this time, Lawrence finally realized that this moose was attracted by the sound of antlers and thought it was a fight between other moose, so he came to watch?
Lawrence looked at the tragically dead moose and saw some withered jute nearby, and quickly thought of a more specific reason.
This time of autumn is the breeding season, and the moose are probably looking for partners.
Regardless of whether it is a male or a female, after hearing the sound of similar fighting and fighting, they will always come over to see if there is a good match.
Just like using the scent of female animals to attract male animals, this hunting method that utilizes the biological reproductive instinct is a surefire kill for those animals that cannot suppress their instincts.
Humans are the apex predators largely because of their intelligence and know how to exploit the weaknesses of animals to hunt them.
This is true for kings, as well as for witches and magicians. No matter how powerful a creature is, it will die from its own weakness. A warrior as powerful as Andrew will also suffer as long as he is plotted and ambushed.
If Redbeard and the others did not resist the count, they were probably afraid.
Andrew can sneak attack the count, but the count can also send people to kill Andrew.
Delen stood up, threw the antlers on the ground and looked at Lawrence.
"Go back. I can tell you what you want to ask."
Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief and was not in a hurry to ask those questions here. "Okay."
Delen asked his men to cut the venison and go back, while he took three The people went back to the village first.
I saw those thin Cloda people again on the road, but this time I felt that many of them had gained weight and were not as thin as when I came here last winter.
After arriving at the volcano hut, Lawrence tied the Dom sheep to a nearby tree, and the three of them walked into the house carrying baskets on their backs.
The old man who was sleeping in the house opened his eyes and looked at the three people who walked into the house.
"Andrew's daughter, hasn't Andrew come back yet?"
Salil walked around the magma pit, stopped three meters in front of the old man, and said, "He went to pursue the glory of the Berserker, and he may not be there for several years. Will be back."
Lathander showed a look of emotion, "It should have been like this a long time ago. What are you here for this time? To exchange things or something else?"
Salil quickly said: "To exchange things, we brought flour and salt, and also I have some clothes and fabrics and want to exchange them for some copperware."
Delen walked over and sat down next to Lathander. "They also want to know about Mount Talim."
"Oh... things there." Lathander clicked. He nodded, "I don't know. I still know about the witch from Andrew, but Andrew doesn't know why she came here." "At first I thought she
was Salil's mother, but now I think it's not. ."
Sariel asked curiously: "Isn't my mother dead a long time ago?"
"Yes." Lathander said: "But your mother must be a witch. If it's not me or that witch, I can't guess where the witch is."
Lawrence asked: "Can't ordinary people give birth to witches?"
Lathander affirmed: "No, witches and wizards can only inherit through blood! There is absolutely no other possibility!"
Lawrence completely There was no hope of becoming a wizard, but after thinking of Sophia beside him, he asked: "Then the descendants of wizards and witches will definitely inherit their abilities?" Lathander said: "Not necessarily,
there is a small possibility. Ordinary people may also have other abilities."
"My mother is a flame, and what I inherited is the ability to control flames."
As Lathander spoke, a pillar of magma fire more than two meters high emerged from the magma pool in front of him.
Lawrence looked at the pool of magma in horror and found that the magma in the magma pool was swimming like a snake.
Lathander quickly said calmly: "Dren is my daughter. She has regained the power to change the earth."
Delen stood there with no intention of demonstrating her ability.
"What is your witchcraft?" Lathander looked at Lawrence in confusion, "I can't feel the power of nature from you."
Lawrence explained: "My mysterious power is to be smarter and stronger than others. The ability to learn makes it easier to get close to animals."
Lathander nodded thoughtfully, "It sounds very strong. This may be the power of becoming a prophet."
Salil said happily: "Yes! Now his name is Lawrence Crowfeather! Since we left last time, Lawrence has gained the loyalty of more than 20 people and established a tribe on the mountain!" Lathander looked at
Lawrence more carefully, feeling that she had made a mistake. , did not discover the natural power of this brother prophet.
"If we negotiate with the witch in Talim, will she be willing to negotiate with us?"
Lawrence changed the subject, moved away the observations gathered on him, and continued to discuss the Poison Mountain Witch.
Delen folded his hands on his chest and listened to the discussion here, and made suggestions very kindly.
"You can let your crow contact her. If her natural power is poison, then she must be more afraid of loneliness than ordinary witches."
Lawrence felt unreliable, "Is this enough? She has lived alone for many years. Right? I feel like I should have been used to loneliness a long time ago."
Luosanda said: "No, if she doesn't want to get to know you, according to her ability, she will never let you live around her."
Lawrence thought about this matter.
The witch's weakness is the fear of loneliness, fear of loneliness?
Then maybe I am a wizard too?
I'm afraid too...
Sophia looked at Lathander expectantly, "What about me? What is my ability?"
Lathander said, "I'm not sure, but it should be related to the earth."
Lawrence glanced at Salil, "Salil's ability is rain?"
"No." Lathander denied Lawrence, the prophet's guess, "It's Qi, the Qi active on the ground." "Oh,
I know, it's the atmosphere. ” Lawrence found more precise words.
Lathander looked at the three young people, "Your abilities are still immature. When you reach Delen's age, you will know how to use your abilities." "
Lawrence, come over next spring. I have something for you to do."
Lawrence nodded, "Okay."
Lathander said, "Don't reveal the existence of this place to others, and your abilities must be kept secret. Some people regard us as evil existences. ”
