Sickly lady in wheelchair, but God

【how so? 】

In the temple, the Ancestral Orcs gathered in a circle, looking at the completely motionless ashes in shock and fear.

The first fire given by God was extinguished.

The firekeeper on the day shift neglected his duty and ran out to bask in the sun during work. As a result, he accidentally fell asleep. When he woke up, everything was irreversible.

[This is the first fire, this is a gift from God! ]

[God will definitely punish you! ]

[It’s over. It’s all over! ]

All the Ancestral Orcs wore masks of pain on their faces, and some timid Ancestral Orcs even fainted directly.

They were furious and wanted to tear the firekeeper who neglected his duty into pieces immediately, but now was not the time to see blood.

The most urgent task is to rekindle the First Fire, otherwise the entire tribe may suffer.

In silence, another fire keeper, Anser, stood up.

The slightly rough pixel images clearly depict its solemnity and determination.

[I will find a way to rekindle the First Fire.]

Its words were met with doubts, but it remained firm.

[I am not trying to make any promises, nor am I trying to be a hero. I am just doing this for my family. My wife is lovely and my children are still young.]

His brown eyes swept across the temple, and Anser raised his right hand.

[I will leave before dark. If you want to go with me, you can come find me anytime.]

In the dim sunlight, it walked out of the temple and headed towards its home, its shadow stretched very long.

20 The Lightning Chaser, a Hymn of Courage

Tong Yao found out that she had made a mistake.

She always thought that Anser was dominated by his wife, but when he was questioned by those respected Ancestral Orcs in the crowd, the words he said and the determined look in his eyes all showed that he was never a cowardly person.

Its courage is hidden deep in its heart, like a sharp sword in its sheath, and it will not be easily shown to others.

It shows its love outwardly, but is mistaken for cowardice by those who don't understand it.

"God sometimes makes mistakes."

But it is precisely such accidents that make God’s life full of surprises!

Tong Yao's eyes twinkled: "I am increasingly looking forward to seeing how the seed of courage will blossom in you."

The Seed of Courage allows life to transform the courage hidden in the body into strength, but because the courage of each life is different, this strength will also have different colors.

The hymn of mankind is the hymn of courage, and the greatness of mankind is the greatness of courage.

This line from JOJO expresses Tong Yao's expectations for the entire original orc clan.

When she lowered her brows, she found that Anser had returned home.

When his wife asked what happened, he stammered and tried to evade the question, but his little trick could not escape his wife's keen observation.

After its furry ears were pulled and turned half a circle, it screamed and told the truth.

The first fire is extinguished!

Even the two children in the family, who were not very sensible, understood how terrible this matter was.

[You are not allowed to go! ]

The wife stared at Anther angrily, and the emoticon "ヽ(＃`Д?)ノ" floating above her head fully demonstrated how angry and uneasy she was.

It cannot be otherwise.

The road to finding the First Fire is bound to be full of dangers, and one could end up dead at any time.

Every orc knows how dangerous the world outside is.

Even if that world is safe, this road is by no means easy to travel.

The first fire was given by God. Looking for the first fire is looking for God, but who knows where God is?

If God never shows up, does the search have to continue?

Faced with his wife's anger, Ansel, who always behaved submissively in the past, suddenly smiled.

The slightly trembling long beard makes it look a little more "cute".

[I know that everyone thinks I am stupid and a person who only follows the rules. I think so too.]

【but……】

[They think that if the First Fire is extinguished, we will be punished by God, but I don’t think so. God is forgiving. Even if I did something like putting Shelley on the altar, He was not angry.]

"?"

You still know that.

Tong Yao continued to watch the couple's conversation.

Anser held his wife's hand.

The rough orc ancestor also showed his shy side at this time.

[The First Fire is not only a gift from the gods and represents the will of the gods, it also means much more. ]

Anser looked out at the pale land outside his cave.

[Do you remember what our tribe was like when we were little? ]

[At that time, we lived in the cold and darkness. In order to find leaves that could keep warm, your father fell into a deep valley. In order to drive away the monster that broke in at night, my father and my brother all died.]

[When there was no First Fire, we lived in such a world. 】

[Since the gods bestowed the First Fire, everything has changed. In the past six months, no one in the tribe has frozen to death, and those terrible monsters have fled far away after seeing the First Fire.]

[The First Fire is a guarantee of safety. As long as the First Fire is there, you and your children will be there. ]

[But now the First Fire is out. If I do nothing, the darkness, cold, and monsters will come back again. I've had enough of this.]

[I don’t have any big dreams. I just want to see you and your child safe and sound.]

[We have been together for so many years, I think you should understand me. ]

understand?

How could I not understand?

But understanding does not alleviate concern.

go together!

When his wife proposed this idea, Ansel rejected it without hesitation.

【You have to stay at home and take care of the children. 】

【Can't someone else go? 】

[If everyone thinks this way, then no one will go. I don’t want to be a hero, but of course I should protect my family myself! ]

The wife stopped talking.

The original orc couple held hands and sat beside the burnt ashes in the house.

Outside, the cold wind was howling.

At some point, the two children who were playing outside came back.

[Shameless, shameless]

Anser still just smiled and didn't say anything, but his eyes became softer.

It's actually afraid.

It was afraid that it would never see God, it was afraid that it would never find the First Fire, it was afraid that it would not be able to protect its family.

But the more afraid it is, the more it has to go.

Courage comes into play at this time.

It dreams that one day, the original orcs will have endless fire.

It dreams that one day, its children will grow up healthy and the family will be reunited, without one or more missing as before.

That afternoon, Anser left home, as usual, without saying hello to the children.

In the tribal open space, it only waited for two companions.

Two was already a lot, and it once thought that this would be a lonely journey.

Under the gazes cast from the cave dwellings on both sides of the road, the three set out on the journey to find the First Fire.

They chased after the gods, but they didn't know that the gods were actually watching them.

With the energy that Tong Yao currently controls, she can easily ignite the Ancestral Orc Tribe, but what she wants to create is not a weak civilization that relies on God in everything.

A great civilization does not necessarily have to live in dire straits like the Three-Body Civilization, but it will never be conceived in a gilded cradle.

"How do you plan to find the First Fire?"

Soon, Anser gave the answer.

They traveled through the snowfields and icebergs, carefully avoiding the ferocious large reptiles, and headed towards the direction where the sun was shining that day. They chased lightning several times but could only see it from afar and could not catch it.

It's a bit like a long pilgrimage.

【Are we going in the wrong direction?】

What if God avoids us?

【I’m so hungry.】

Anser constantly encouraged his teammates.

[We have been out for many days. We can only keep moving forward. There is no turning back. Turning back means death.]

[We came here for our families. When we return home and see the disappointed looks on their faces, how will you feel? ]

[Once we find the First Fire, we will become heroes of the entire tribe, and we will never decay even after a thousand years! ]

One teammate turned back, and the other teammate stayed but was still confused.

[But, how long will it take us to find the First Fire? ]

【Soon. 】

Even Ansher did not expect that lightning would streak across the sky again that night, and the dazzling golden light seemed to tear the sky apart, and it was so close.

The two original orcs stood blankly in the wilderness. The next moment, one of them jumped up high, ecstatic.

[God, it is God! God was moved by our piety, and He sent down the First Fire again! ]

It roared and rushed towards the lightning.

How can a flesh and blood body withstand thunder and lightning?

At the moment before the thunder fell, Anser rushed out.

【return! 】

The dazzling lightning instantly engulfed them, but did not fall completely.

The slender white fingers with water droplets rolling down pressed down, and God's power and God's gaze passed through the phone screen, through the two worlds, and imprisoned the lightning.

“I love your answer!”

21 Reasons to be King!

The lightning falling from the sky stopped just before it touched Anser and another Original Orc.

It would be more accurate to say that Tong Yao has paused time rather than imprisoned the lightning.

Of course, this isn't really a pause.

Pausing time consumes too much energy, even if it is just pausing time in a small range.
