Ordinary days in another world

Chapter 3

Compared to Jiang Xia's entanglement, Qiqi was quite excited.First, she shouted at Jiang Xia's new clothes, and repeatedly asked Ai Wen to promise to tell him how to do it, and he would make the same one. Throughout the ages, women have always been so persistent in their pursuit of clothing.Then he kept telling Jiang Xia about his partner.Kiki's partner is Frode, who is in the shape of a lion and one of the warriors of the tribe.Not only are they outstanding in ability, but they are also considerate and elegant. The house they will live in after they become a couple has already been built, and the decoration in the house was specially asked for Kiki's opinion.When the little female mentions this, her eyes will stare.God knows that when she heard that Qiqi's partner was a lion, her mind was full of pictures of Beauty and the Beast. Thanks to the stimulation of the pictures in her head, she was no longer so nervous.

The beast god sacrificial platform where the partner ceremony is held is located in the east of the tribal council hall, and the tribal council hall is in the east of the tribal central area.So Jiang Xia and Qiqi spent a lot of time. During this period, Jiang Xia also met the so-called orcs.At the beginning, Jiang Xia almost cried out when she saw the little leopard and the little lion jumping around in the tribe, but luckily, her reason pulled her back, and when she saw a grown lion transformed into a 1.9-meter grown man, it was already Very calm, at least on the surface.Jiang Xia felt that she had to take good care of the couple ceremony for a while. If people in this world were so strong, one could imagine how dangerous those wild beasts outside would be. She could only rely on the tribe if she wanted to survive.

When the two of them arrived, there were already many people waiting on the altar, including the patriarch and the high priest.Qiqi pointed out to Jiang Xia his partner in a low voice, with long light blond hair and muscular build, she nodded this way after spotting them.For the first time, Jiang Xia saw clearly the difference between male orcs and females.At least the difference is very big. According to visual inspection, she and Qiqi are about 1.7 meters tall, and some females are slightly taller and will not exceed five centimeters.The orcs are all over 1.9 meters tall, not only strong, but also mostly bronze-colored.

Because it is a more formal ceremony, everyone is dressed in new clothes, which has a somewhat solemn atmosphere.But Jiang Xia couldn't combine it with the wedding or something.It is said that it is a couple ceremony, but in fact, there are not many people who actually appear on the sacrificial altar. The most fundamental reason is the scarcity of the population, especially the scarcity of females.And the orcs who can stand on this stage must be first-class warriors in the marriageable tribe, so marrying a wife depends on strength, and the competition pressure is huge.

Waiting for the priest wearing white robes (like the white-robed mage in Lord of the Rings!) to remind me, there are ten people on the female side, and only nine people on the orc side. Lived with my father.As for the orc Cyrus that Ewen mentioned, she didn't know her, so she could only lower her head and pretend to be shy.On the other hand, one of the orcs stared at her a few times, but Jiang Xia didn't look up. Anyway, she was chosen by others, so there is no possibility of winning.Jiang Xia hoped that if Cyrus really chose her, she hoped that she would be an easy-going orc like what her mother said.

Jiang Xia was thinking about it, when there was a commotion ahead, it seemed that the priest and patriarch also noticed that the number of orcs was wrong.Qiqi next to her reminded her in a low voice, "It's the patriarch's son who didn't come. That proud peacock is going to lose face now, hehe..." Is the patriarch's animal shape a peacock?I never heard that peacocks can lead a hundred beasts. Peacocks belong to birds. Before Jiang Xia could figure it out, the priest announced the start of the ceremony. It seemed that no one was going to wait for the peacocks. Didn't you see the patriarch's face was dark?
Afterwards, Jiang Xia found out that in fact, only a few people had greeted her in advance like Qiqi and her during the couple ceremony. Qi Qi's primordial essence, so no one can't think of using their own happiness to mess with the two of them, so no orc will choose Qi Qi, except Frod.Although they were competitors when they married their wives, they are still comrades-in-arms and closest friends in daily life. As the saying goes, a friend's wife cannot be bullied.

Apart from the well-known, what remains is the true form of mating ritual.Usually, the best warrior recognized by the orcs has the priority to choose. Before the ceremony was held, the orcs had already fought many fights to distinguish their rankings.Because of the scarcity of females, almost every female was well known by the orcs, and the orcs in the front row could get equally good female partners in comparison.You have to ask, what if the selected female is not happy?Basically, this possibility is very small. The force value in the orc tribe is still the key to evaluating whether a male orc is good. It can only be said that the aesthetics are so. If you refuse the courtship of the first warrior in the tribe, who else can you choose? What about your partner, the one below?Are you out of your mind?

And in later life, the love of a female partner is directly related to the quality of life. Don’t choose an excellent orc who likes you, and choose one that is not good enough, and it’s not clear whether they will accept you. Females are very simple, but I'm not stupid, I've reached a critical moment to decide my life, of course I have to make the most correct choice.

Therefore, females are only unfavorable, but rarely refuse courtship in a partner ceremony.

No matter what happens in the future, Jiang Xia feels that she is the only female in the audience who is not favored.She has seen star eyes on the face of the male orc opposite, but they are not facing her.

The courtship ceremony began soon, the first orc, no, strictly speaking, the second orc walked up to the patriarch (Qiqi revealed that the first orc warrior was originally the son of the patriarch, but after the ceremony began He didn’t show up, so he was disqualified. While Jiang Xia was relieved, he felt a pity for him. It’s really pitiful to go from having the best to getting nothing.) Picking up two marriage stones, and then walked to In front of the favorite female, one of the marriage stones is handed out. If the female accepts it, the two go to the priest hand in hand and hand over the marriage stone.Jiang Xia watched from the beginning to the end. When the priest announced that the two had formed a couple, she almost applauded. Only now did she understand that the orc tribe attaches great importance to the couple ceremony. She watched from the side, and she could feel the sacred and solemn atmosphere. Even though everything was very simple, no flowers and no rings, this was probably the simplest wedding ever.

The ceremony was held in an orderly manner, and couples were newly released. Jiang Xia was not relieved until Qiqi was taken away by Frode.Qiqi's partner is also very powerful, at least in the forefront of the younger generation of orc warriors.But she soon couldn't think about other things. As new couples were born, the number of people on the sacrificial altar dwindled, and Jiang Xia could no longer ignore the gaze that had been paying attention to her from the beginning.

Jiang Xia suddenly turned his gaze towards the other party, and the orc who was caught by the current was obviously a little embarrassed, and turned his head to the side after a while.Aren't orcs supposed to be brave, but why are they even shyer than her?Jiang Xia began to look at this undoubted target of Ai Wen's coercion.Short black hair, well, this one is deeply in her heart, but the same strong body is not rough, the skin is darker, and the muscles that can be seen seem to be full of explosive power. I have to say that the only orcs she has seen in the tribe, females They are all good-looking, with almost no crooked melons or cracked dates.

Maybe it was burned by her hot eyes, the orc finally resigned to his fate and turned to look at her. Very well, his eyes were also black.He has the demeanor of a Latin American male model.However, although this male orc who should be called Cyrus was also looking at her, he just wanted to confirm what the partner he had to choose was like. Jiang Xia didn't see any excitement on his expression.Jiang Xia is used to the kind of heart-to-heart connection between her parents in her previous life, how can she accept such a partner who doesn't understand anything?Jiang Xia's expression turned cold, she looked back lightly, and glanced at the only remaining female besides her, who was a little taller than her, with long red hair and slightly wavy hair, three-dimensional features, she was a beauty, I don't know Se Who would Ruth pick.

Cyrus looked at the beautiful female on the opposite side, and the first thing he thought of was when he met Ewen that day.Father Mu had a big belly when he conceived his orc brother. The great witch doctor of the tribe speculated that it might be twins. It is important to know that it is not easy for females to give birth, let alone two at once.At that time, he had already remembered that whenever he wanted to get close to his mother's father, he would be stopped by his father and told his mother's father that pregnancy was very difficult and not to make trouble.The great witch doctor Liao Bi checks up the mother's father almost every other day to ensure the health of the female and the fetus.But an accident still happened. Liao Bi had to go into the forest to collect herbs after checking up on her mother again. She made an appointment to come back on time on the third day, but her mother gave birth early that night, and as expected, it was a difficult labor. It was Uncle Ai Wen who rescued Mu's father at the last moment, and his orc brother also survived. The other male orc was too weak to be rescued, but their family treated Uncle Ai Wen Filled with gratitude, he still clearly remembers his father's desperate expression when he heard that his mother's father was having a difficult delivery.

These years, their family has been very close to Uncle Ai Wen.But Cyrus didn't know much about the little female in his family. Charlotte seldom walked around in the tribe, and he still occasionally heard it from his friends in the tribe.So when Uncle Ewen made such a request to him, he agreed without much consideration.Firstly, he doesn’t have a particularly favorite female, and secondly, because of Uncle Ewen’s help to save him from losing his close relative and his father from losing his lover, he will take on the responsibility of taking care of Charlotte.

It's just that he didn't expect Gus to object so strongly.Gus, his only orc brother, practically grew up under his watch.I don't know where I heard the rumors about Charlotte, and I firmly oppose his decision. "Brother, you can't marry that Charlotte. There are no good rumors about him in the tribe. We haven't seen what he looks like. I heard that he was born with a defect. It is difficult for a female to conceive. Maybe he You can’t have children at all! Uncle Ai Wen can’t give you an unwanted female just because you are kind to our family! You are the eldest son of the family and a warrior in the tribe. Even if you want to repay your kindness, you only need someone to marry you. , I can marry, anyway, I'm going to be an adult soon, let that guy wait for another year, is he so eager to marry someone!" Although he reprimanded Gus severely, Gus still didn't agree until last night. Indignantly, before he came, he asked him not to choose Charlotte, this wayward Gus, thinking of this, Cyrus frowned.

The patriarch spoke, and Cyrus stepped forward to get the last pair of marriage stones. After turning around, he found that Charlotte was staring at him without blinking...the marriage stones in his hand must really be concerned.Seeing the cute look of the little female with wide-eyed eyes, Cyrus suddenly felt that it would be nice to have such a partner. Anyway, Gus was also taken care of by him since he was a child. He is more experienced, so he will take care of another little one.Thinking of this, he raised his legs and walked towards Charlotte.
