A land of orcs with more men and fewer women

Chapter 72 The Day of the Baptism of Moses

Until Seth sat down on the bench with Lilith in his arms, Lilith looked in a daze.

Seth touched Lilith's face with some worry, but Lilith still didn't respond.

This made Seth a little anxious, and he patted Lilith's face gently: "Lilith, Lilith?..."

"Huh? Huh?" Lilith subconsciously spoke out after being photographed.

Seth felt relieved when he heard Lilith's voice, but Lilith held Seth's shoulders and stood on the bench.

"Hiss!" The bench was made of stone, and Lilith's little feet felt ice cold when she stepped on it, causing her to cry out.

Seth quickly hugged Lilith back into his arms and let Lilith sit across his lap.

Lilith passed by the ice beneath her feet and her brain returned to her senses.

Her expression suddenly became distorted, right? Why did she become his little niece? Damn it, isn't this taking advantage of yourself?

Lilith was so angry that she got up from Seth's lap, stood back on the bench, and said "hiss..." This time Lilith controlled it well and didn't make too loud a sound.

But he still received Seth's worried look.

But remembering her experience of being treated as a niece by Seth just now, Lilith became angry again.

Lilith put her upper body on her hips, frowned her little eyebrows, and looked at Seth with a straight face. However, due to the coldness of the stone chair, his lower body kept standing on his feet.

Seeing this, Seth couldn't help but stretched out his hand to protect Lilith. The bench had no back, and he was worried that Lilith might fall off if she stood on her left and right legs like this.

Lilith glared at Seth: "Why do you say I'm your little niece?"

Only then did Seth realize that Lilith was unhappy about this. He explained to Lilith: "My eleventh brother is sister Kunta's second husband and Lilith's second father. After all, rounding up, aren't you my little niece, Lilith?"

For the first time, Lilith discovered that Seth was so sharp-tongued. And when she thought about it carefully, it did make sense. The second father, Senasa, is Seth's eleventh brother. Seth also calls his mother his sister, so it seems like he is indeed his predecessor? …

But why does Lilith feel that something is wrong? Haven't you heard your mother say that? If Seth was really his uncle, why didn’t his mother correct him when she called Seth’s name?

But what Seth said does make sense.

Thinking of this, Lilith looked up and down at Seth suspiciously.

Seth couldn't help but straighten his upper body under Lilith's glance. It seems that only in this way can the guilty conscience be eliminated.

"Really?" Lilith asked questioningly.

"Of course." Seth said confidently. It would have been more convincing if his eyes hadn't moved at the end.

"Okay. Did I misunderstand you?" Lilith also felt a little embarrassed at this time.

Seth took Lilith back to his lap in a natural movement, and touched Lilith's head comfortingly: "You are still young."

Lilith nodded in approval. It was true that she was young and it was normal not to know these customs. After thinking about this, Lilith began to look at the rotunda. It was obvious that her mood was different from the last time she came here to this time.

Now that it's out, let's let it go like this for the time being.

Seth hugged Lilith and looked down at Lilith looking around, with a somewhat complicated look in her eyes.

His hand touched Lilith's light golden curls.

Lilith withdrew her gaze and raised her head.

Seth shook his head to indicate that it was okay, when Lilith turned her head.

Seth lowered his head, remembering the engagement his father had mentioned before... He couldn't help frowning, maybe... as a sister, a little niece, it would be better for him and Lilith?

Lilith is a very cute little female orc, and her world should be happy and free.

He thought he would be a qualified brother and elder, and he would protect her and love her among the orcs...

He couldn't let Lilith encounter the same thing as his mother.

Just when Seth was making a decision in his mind, "Seth! Look! It's started." Lilith's low voice recalled Seth's distant thoughts.

A little orc stood under the round platform and hummed softly.

Seth saw the priest carrying the little female orc onto the round platform.

Looking down at Lilith, who was sitting upright with her eyes forward, Seth no longer thought about anything else and watched the ceremony with Lilith.

On the round platform, the little female orc Rouxi finally climbed to the center of the round platform with the help of junior priest Qi You.

The little orc stopped humming, and all the orcs focused their attention on Rouxi on the round platform.

Rouxi is a very thin little female orc who looks a little dull.

There was silence in the rotunda, and the light coming from the open-air round hole in the dome slanted to the exit of the corridor on the left.

This beam of light slanted right from above Rubi.

On the huge round platform, the thin Rouxi looked a little helpless, and Lilith silently clenched her fists to cheer her up.

At this moment when the needle drop can be heard, the junior priest begins to form seals on his hands.

Just like what Lilith had experienced before, Rouxi was wrapped in flowing runes.

Perhaps due to the difference in guidance priests, there were not as many guidance runes for Roshi as Lilith had originally. The orcs nearby could easily see Roshi among them from the runes.

After the guide Qi Yi finished all the runes, he began to pray in a low voice, and the runes began to enter Ruxi's brain.

"Wow wow wow wow." Rouxi cried heartbreakingly.

Anyone can tell from the crying how painful it is to rub Xi.

Lilith couldn't help but recall the pain that felt like her skull was broken, and she was still frightened.

She frowned, and her little hands clenched into fists nervously in front of her chest.

Lilith hopes that the other party can persist longer, because after experiencing the baptism day, Lilith understands the benefits of scoring more runes.

Although Rouxi on the round platform was crying loudly and looked thin, she was actually a strong little female orc.

Lilith saw that most of the runes had successfully penetrated into her head.

Maybe he couldn't hold on until later. Rubi was covered in cold sweat and lay unconscious in the center of the round platform.

The leader Qi You stopped praying. At this time, two-thirds of the runes around Rouxi's body had been entered.

Priest Qi'er was satisfied with this result, which was much better than he expected.

Priest Qi You came onto the stage happily, picked up the unconscious Rouxi and lifted him up.

The orcs in the round hall stood up and applauded to congratulate the success of this guidance ceremony.

Since Rouxi was in a coma, Rouxi spent the next blessing ceremony unconsciously in the arms of priest Qi'er.

Lilith was also picked up by Seth and joined the team of blessing the orcs.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer orcs in front of her, Lilith began to feel a little nervous. She leaned on Seth's shoulder: "Seth, what are you going to say?"

Seth said without thinking too much: "Wish the little female orc success in her cultivation or something like that."

"Huh? What should I say?" Lilith asked Seth for advice.

"You can say the same thing as me." Seth felt that it didn't matter what he said, as long as it was positive.

"Isn't that just a repetition?" Lilith felt something was wrong.

Seth shook his head: "Most orcs' blessings are repeated. In fact, repetition also has the benefit of repetition. The power of this blessing is doubled. It is also a good thing for the little orcs."

"Oh~ Really? Then let me think about it." Lilith felt that in this case, she would have more choices.

Turning her head to look at the thin Rouxi on the round platform, Lilith thought of a very suitable blessing in her mind.

When Seth and Lilith arrived, Seth first blessed them: "Little female orc, I wish you success in your future cultivation."

Then it was Lilith's turn. Lilith took a breath and said sincerely: "Ruxi, I hope you can have a healthy body."

……

Not long after Lilith and Seth returned to the bench and sat down, all the orcs present had sent their blessings.

Lilith could vaguely see the substance-like mist around Rouxi's body through her naked eyes.

She tugged on Seth's arm and asked in a low voice, "How about this? Is that too much?"

Seth immediately understood what Lilith meant and lowered his voice and replied: "Medium." After seeing the faint expectation in Lilith's serious eyes, Seth added: "Too much?"

After getting the answer, Lilith nodded with satisfaction.

Priest Qi'er on the round platform hugged Rubi and began to pray again. The blessing thoughts around Rubi began to gather towards Rubi, wrapping Rouxi layer by layer.

Wrapped by the power of thought, Rubi broke away from Priest Qi You's arm and floated in mid-air.

The orcs could vaguely see that the mental fog was slowly getting thinner and thinner, and finally disappeared completely.

Rub Xi fell in the air and fell asleep again in the arms of Priest Qi You.

Priest Qi'er raised the unconscious Rouxi with both hands and said in a high-spirited tone: "Everyone, let me introduce to you a new member of ours!" Priest Qi'er raised his hands forward again: "Ruxi! Let us welcome The little female orc—Ruxi’s joining!”

Lilith was the first to applaud excitedly, and the other orcs did not slow down, and they applauded thunderously.

Then Kurta led his eldest daughter Diana onto the stage.

Kurta took the little granddaughter Rouxi from the hands of priest Qi'er, and happily announced the news of the small banquet on the baptismal day to the orcs in the audience.

The orcs also welcomed the invitation.

Kunta also came to Seth and Lilith at this time. She picked up Lilith and kissed her intimately: "Do you miss my mother?"

Lilith shook her head honestly, just for a moment.

When Kunta heard this, he pouted and kissed Lilith hard on the face: "Little rascal!"

Quinta held Lilith in his arms and extended an invitation to Seth to go to the christening day banquet.

Seth refused, and Seth said he had to attend an event later, so he couldn't go to the baptismal banquet.

Quinta nodded in understanding.

"Eh? Is Seth leaving?" Lilith asked unexpectedly.

Seth pinched her little face: "Yes."

"Oh." Lilith pouted with some disappointment.

Seth thought it was cute, so he pinched her little face again, this time with more force than last time.

This caused Lilith to slap Seth's hand away, touch her face and shout to Seth: "Then go, huh!"

Seth smiled and touched Lilith's head, then said goodbye to Quinta and Lilith and left.

Lilith watched Seth's leaving figure until a junior priest came over to him when Seth walked into the corridor.

Only then did Lilith look away.

At this time, Kunta was holding Lilith and was about to walk into another corridor entrance, saying hello to relatives from time to time.

Soon after entering the corridor, it was dark, with only the flickering candlelight on the walls on both sides.

Lilith lay on her mother's shoulder, and suddenly remembered what Seth said about her elders. Lilith asked her mother, "Mom, shouldn't I call Seth's name?"

Kunta was a little surprised: "Why do you ask that?"

Lilith asked: "Should I call him uncle or something?"

Kunta staggered and was shocked: "What?!"

Lilith recounted what had just happened to Quinta.

Only then did Quinta understand. She smiled and said, "Seth, this naughty little guy."

"Huh? Grandma?" Lilith was puzzled. To be honest, Seth's words seemed to make some sense.

Kunta shook his head and explained to his little daughter with a smile: "Where did the little orc Xu Zixu come to the married beast husband's house? Hahaha ~ Seth is teasing you."

Oops! She said it was weird, no wonder it was rounded, Lilith looked angry.

Kunta answered for his daughter Lilith: "Actually, this kind of situation also happens, but they are all in private. Some orcs will call each other like this verbally to show their closeness."

"Ah?" Lilith was a little confused now. She felt that she had a good relationship with Seth. Should she really call Seth her uncle in the future?

Kunta could guess what Lilith was thinking by looking at her expression. Kunta smiled: "But... Lilith, you don't have to."

"Why? Grandma?" Lilith was puzzled.

Kunta smiled and did not explain to his daughter. He just said, "It will be the same after Lilith interacted with Seth before. There is no need to change anything." Kunta helped Lilith smooth out the hair on her forehead. "Lilith can just be herself."

Lilith confirmed to Kunta: "Really? Grandma. So Seth is not an elder?"

Kunta shook his head and smiled: "Not really. Hahaha, you are still young. It's good to get along like this." After saying that, Kunta smoothed the small curly hair on the back of Lilith's head, "Why does our Lilith's hair look like that?" Too few? I won’t look good wearing hair accessories from now on.”

Of course, the little female orc loves beauty. When Lilith heard her mother's words, she was not happy either: "Why doesn't she look good?" Lilith thought of the pink diamond hairpin that her father bought for her, and it suddenly didn't look good. She mumbled He put his mouth on Kunta's shoulder and complained softly: "Mom is talking nonsense! Lilith is still young now. When Lilith grows up, she will naturally have more hair."

"Okay, okay!" Kunta patted Lilith on the back and comforted her calmly.

"Mom!" Lilith kicked her feet dissatisfied in Kunta's arms.

The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and soon arrived at the banquet hall where the christening day banquet was held.

Suddenly walking from the dim corridor into the bright hall, Lilith's eyes narrowed unaccustomedly.

The orcs around seemed even denser than in the rotunda just now.

Many orcs who arrived early were already eating. Twos and threes gathered together to talk.

Lilith was still a little unaccustomed to such a scene, and she retracted into Kunta's arms obediently.

Under the guidance of Kunta, I said hello to the strange orc relatives one by one.

Got a wave of compliments. Regardless of whether it is sincere or fake, Lilith feels that the emotional value is still in place.

Soon it was time for the little female to eat her first solid food.

Lilith was a little curious, what did Aunt Diana's house prepare?

Kunta saw that Lilith was looking at her with her neck stretched out, which was quite interesting, so he took Lilith and took a few steps forward.

This time Lilith could barely see it. It seems like...little sweet paste? Lilith remembered that this was what her eldest brother and the others ate when they took her out. So does this count as solid food?

Strictly speaking, it doesn't count, but when the orcs attending the banquet saw Kushi's thin body, they understood the Kurta family's choice.

In addition, they were all relatives or close family friends. When I saw Ruxi waking up and successfully taking the first bite of the sweet paste, I was sincerely happy for her.

Lilith also clapped happily when she saw Rouxi taking her first bite of food. This reminded her of the last time she ate the rice cake made by Pappas and Antonio in the arms of her mother and father. Looking back to this day, she also found the rice cake very sweet.
