My Magic Age

The star map in the night sky keeps changing with time. Those bright nebulae are flashing dazzling light. Under the night sky, there is no trace of black cloud. The damp and cold wind blows, making this empty wilderness full of coldness and silence. In the northern foothills, you can still hear the calls of small animals at night, but in this western wilderness, it is really dead silent. I am afraid that the last wild mice have been captured by the hungry orcs.

I have added water to the iron pot several times, and the fire gathering scroll is still burning under the iron pot. The wise man Meyana from the town of Guluding began to tell us about the recent situation of Guluding Town and the Blood Wolf Clan, which made us stunned.

Kuz's father, Kurad, was injured in the battle with the gray dwarf bandits last year. He has not recovered since returning to Guluding Town. It is said that he was pierced in the right rib by a long sword with Asian dragon poison saliva, and the poison from the wound invaded his internal organs. In early spring, he was escorted to the Great Snow Mountain for treatment. Before leaving, his eldest son, Kut, temporarily took over the position of the chief.

The situation was extremely dangerous at the time. If Kuleboros had not left two scrolls of the Great Purification before going to the Great Snow Mountain, the Blood Wolf Chief Kurad might not even have the opportunity to go to the Great Snow Mountain for treatment. Now it is said that the poison injury has stabilized, but for some unknown reason, Chief Kurad has not returned to the Guluding tribe.

Under such circumstances, after early spring, the entire beast tribe on the Pai Plateau suffered a great famine. Almost all tribes did not have enough food for the winter. Hunting in spring became particularly important, and more small tribes entered the depths of the wilderness to chase the beasts. These things also happened in the tribes surrounding the Blood Wolf Clan. The small tribes around the Blood Wolf Clan also became very poor. It was under such a situation that the newly promoted Blood Wolf Clan Acting Chieftain Kut introduced a series of measures to try to alleviate the food crisis of various tribes.

The most important measure was to promote his six adult brothers to new small lords in the tribe. The area of ​​fiefdom was the land around the outermost part of the town of Guludin. Anyone with a discerning eye would find that one of Kut's methods was to exile all the brothers who could compete with him for the position of the chieftain to remote and desolate places, making them small lords of one side and expanding the territory for the Blood Wolf Clan. Kuz ranked seventh among the brothers. If it weren't for the long journey that delayed his coming-of-age ceremony, he would have been an adult and had reached the age of being conferred. Meiana guessed that after Kuz arrived in Guludin and held his coming-of-age ceremony, the first thing he would do would be to be conferred a border territory and become the new small lord of the Blood Wolf Clan.

I was relieved by Kurt's kind behavior. In my memory, the princes who killed their fathers and brothers for power and profit could almost sit around a table to play mahjong. It was a very wise move to enfeoff their brothers as lords and let them help them guard the border. It was good for Kuz, who was determined to be the hunter king, to be a small lord. When I thought about it, I suddenly realized that my best friend had become a small lord of the Blood Wolf Clan who could manage dozens of tribes. This thigh was really big.

Kuz's other brothers had been exiled to the border of the Blood Wolf Clan's territory. The Blood Wolf Clan guarded the Guludin Fortress in the western wilderness of the Pai Plateau, and occupied most of the land in the western wilderness. However, the rich lands already had their own lords, and there were only some vacancies in the remote border areas. This time, five small lords were enfeoffed at once. The wise Meyana said directly that there was no place for Kuz in the border areas of the Blood Wolf Clan's territory.

In fact, Kuz's final choice is to find a comfortable place and be his little lord. Staying in the Guludin tribe is definitely not a good idea. How can others sleep soundly beside Kut's bed? One day, the new chieftain may wake up and find that there is a brother waiting in the tribe with a covetous eye. If he gets upset and kills Kuz, it would be too unfair.

In the border area of ​​the Blood Wolf Tribe, the edge of the Death Swamp south of the Hundred Waterfall Cliff at the end of the Urutu River has not been demarcated. Almost no one is willing to accept that piece of land. Although it is deep in the rear of the Blood Wolf Tribe, it is adjacent to the Death Swamp. Almost every year, there are reports of monsters from the swamp harassing orcs. Although some monster hunters will enter the Death Swamp to hunt the monsters inside, this situation has not been effectively improved. The Laitu tribe is located in a place called Drowning Pond on the edge of the Death Swamp. Because the climate here is humid, the land is fertile, and there is plenty of rain, so there are a lot of ground potatoes here. Large areas of swamps are full of these root plants. At the same time, a large number of one-horned bison gather here to feed on ground potatoes.

It's just that this year is not so good. Swamp zombies have not been contained. They come out of the swamp to attack the bison herds and the surrounding orcs, forcing all the one-horned bison herds in this area to migrate, and the orcs in the small tribes have to leave their homes and wander in the wasteland. These orcs are the ones who really lack the life in the wasteland. They usually live on the edge of the swamp and make a living by hunting one-horned bison all day long. Here they can dig a lot of potatoes. The carefree life makes these orcs slowly become unable to distinguish the types of wild vegetables in the wasteland, not to mention any magic herbs.

In this year of great famine, all the wise men in Guluding Town walked in the wasteland and taught these displaced orcs some ways to survive. This also made us meet the wise man Meyana as soon as we walked out of Yelian Mountain.

After that, things turned out like this. When Mayana found out that Kuz, the son of Kurad, the chief of the Blood Wolf Tribe, was also in our team, he asked Kuz a question. This question was also the question that the wise men had asked to test the other sons of Kurad at the elders' meeting. In fact, Kuz's answer at that time was barely acceptable to the elders, so he became the current acting chief of the Blood Wolf Tribe. That question is also the most urgent problem to be solved at the moment: as the chief of the Blood Wolf Tribe, how to deal with the current great famine and solve the food and clothing problems of more than 200,000 people.

Then he found out about the troubles of Laitu, the leader of a small tribe on the edge of the Death Swamp. After losing the warriors in his tribe, this tribal leader who did not have enough strength had no way to lead the beast girls in the tribe to survive in this wasteland. Only then did Mayana propose that Kuz go to Guluding Town to receive the fiefdom on the edge of the Death Swamp and become a small lord there.

I think Meiana is very scheming. Maybe he saw that our team has the ability to hunt demon antelopes and has a very close relationship with Kuz, so he threw out the formula of corpse fire oil, which is simply killing several birds with one stone. It not only solved the problem of Kuz's fiefdom, but also eliminated the potential competition of Chief Kutdai in Guludin Town, solved Chief Laitu's troubles with his tribe, and sold a favor to Qige, and encouraged Qige to take us to the Death Swamp to hunt the swamp zombies that ran out from there to harm the orcs.

November is the best time for spring hunting. After December, it enters early summer. When the alfalfa in the wasteland grows to waist height, it will take several times more effort to hunt demon antelopes. Now a large number of hunters in the orc tribe go deep into the wasteland to hunt demon antelopes, and have no time to split themselves to clean up the swamp zombies. In this vacancy, it is not a bad idea to let these irrelevant humans deal with those zombies.

Meyana said to Laitu: "Kurad's son Kuz will become the lord of the Death Swamp and directly manage the leaders of the tribes on the edge of the swamp. The land there will belong to him. Laitu, you ask him to take care of your tribe and let him settle down in your place in the early stage of establishing the territory. I think when you have enough strength to take care of and manage your tribe well, the future Lord Kuz will give you a new tribe."

When the wise man Meyana broke down the matter and explained it in detail, Kuz and I found that this wise man also pointed out the direction for us. In fact, Before we returned to Guluding Town, we didn't think there would be so many things. We just wanted to keep the secret of vermicelli. The caravan of Master Leipas will arrive in Guluding Town in early summer. At that time, we must not let him expose the lie that vermicelli is a specialty of the beastmen, otherwise I will have a hard time living in the human world in the future. Moreover, Old Kuru intends to exchange this with the human merchant for food and other goods. Although only Master Leipas wants to sell vermicelli back to Green Imperial Capital, what does it matter? Good wine needs no bush.

However, when we walked on the wasteland, we found out how serious the great disaster of the beastmen was. At this time, we wanted to do something and help those hungry beastmen, but we didn't know how to help them. When we were in the wasteland, we panicked and found that we were still weak and would be swallowed by the robbers or monsters in the wasteland if we were not careful.

Now, we have found a thing we can do, that is, to help the Laitu tribe and the tribes around them rebuild their homes, and we can also hunt swamp zombies. As for those stupid big guys, I think we will have a way to deal with them.

The Laitu leader looked very entangled, and every word of the wise man Meiana hit his itch. In fact, what he couldn't let go of in the end was the friendship with his own tribe and the family business left to him by his grandfather. Kuz, who was thinking about the problem while listening to Meyana telling about the recent situation of Guluding Town, suddenly said: "If I really become a lord, I will promise you that when these children in the tribe grow up to be warriors, if they are willing to become your subordinates, I will not stop them. Before that, I will help you take care of them."

In this way, Laitu untied his shackles on this windy night in the western wilderness in spring, under the vast and bright starry sky, and walked away with his five wives and three children, staring at the charming night. He took the recommendation letter from the wise Meyana and rushed to the Blood Wolf Legion of Guluding Fortress to fulfill his heroic dream.

And the few of us still sat around the campfire, and everyone cast their eyes on Kuz.

I still think he is still the sloppy orc boy wearing a torn fur coat, the little hunter who likes to run around the mountains with a bow and arrow, and the foodie who likes to carry a pheasant and beg me to stew chestnuts. But when I see that he is already leaning against the well-built orc girl, the bright and beautiful Geerile who looks like a sunflower, I feel that he has really grown up. His messy hair has been braided into countless small braids, the holes in his sheepskin coat have been patched up, and even his muddy boots have become very clean.

It's on the shelves now. I don't know if anyone will come to see it. I'll post it first! Hehe, I'm still very happy.
