Chapter 175: Coming of Age Ceremony
The traditions of the village?
Misty was slightly stunned. She immediately thought of the remote and backward villages outside W City. It is said that those villages still maintain some ancient customs. People would get angry on the bonfire on the full moon night and sang and dance around the bonfire. Therefore, as soon as Gu Yun spoke, she had an ominous premonition.
She doesn't want to be like a country man.
"What does the tradition in the village mean..."
"Oh, in our village, this is a ceremony for every child to move towards adulthood. If we apply the customs here, it is probably somewhat similar to the college entrance examination."
The coming-of-age gifts in this village are extremely heavy!
In fact, Gu Yun had secretly considered the issue of the coming-of-age ceremony more than a month ago. Gu Tiantian, who had obtained the Holy Sword inheritance, had already initially qualified to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony. However, immediately afterwards, another problem arose.
In the village, the adult ritual has been passed down from generation to generation and has a set of strict evaluation standards, but there is no object for reference for the adult ritual here.
"According to the customs of the village, it is qualified to bring back the mammoth in the ice field. If you bring back the saber-toothed tiger, it is considered to have good grades, and the S-class monster is excellent."
He also explained the original customs of the village. These three actually correspond to the activity distance of each participant. Near the village, there are only traces of life in the ice field mammoth. For villagers, ice field mammoths are also an important source of food and fur.
Only when you leave the snowy area can you encounter saber-toothed tigers. Most of these saber-toothed tigers around the snowfield wander at the junction of the two zones to capture mammoths.
After completely moving away from the natural barrier formed by the snowfield and mountains, the whole world was truly revealed before them. It was a world dominated by different dangerous monsters. Even believers dared not leave the city-state villages easily and penetrated into the area surrounded by monsters. Among the many monsters, the most dangerous one can be named S-level monsters.
Every S-class monster is a terrifying creature that is worthy of the army of believers.
"Which is this coming-of-age ceremony?"
Misty raised a question. Although she didn't know what the S-class monster was, the Ice Field Mammoth and Sabertooth Tiger were both ancient beasts here.
In which village does Gu Tiantian’s brother live in?
"Don't lose confidence."
Gu Yun mobilized Gu Tiantian and Misty, "One of every 100 children who went to fight against S-class monsters will be able to return to the village safely."
“…Where did the other 99 children go?”
"I don't know that, after all, most of the children who attacked S-class monsters never saw them again after leaving the village."
This was obviously eaten by the S-class monster!
Even Misty, who was used to seeing big scenes, was not calm anymore. Why could Gu Yunren say such terrifying words as if no one else was around?
Could it be that the terrifying smile just now was not an illusion, and this person was actually that scary?
"According to the customs of the village, bringing back different spoils will also receive different evaluations."
Gu Yun continued, "Bringing back to the ice field mammoth proves that they have a certain ability to do things and should be able to deal with the debris of farming and farming; and bringing back the saber-toothed tiger shows that they not only have the ability to do things, but also have the spirit of adventure. After three to five years of internship, they can get a job responsible for peripheral security."
What is wrong with this village? Why can people who beat the Ice Field Mammoths have to go farming?
"As for children who can bring back S-class monsters, it's a different matter. As long as they are trained, they may become an excellent soldier in the future."
In fact, the sword saints and boxers in the village who later became famous were all the best people who had hunted S-class monsters in the coming-of-age ceremony.
Of course, every year, there are indeed some rice insects in the village that cannot even beat the mammoth in the ice field. These children who fail to get married can only go to do odd jobs everywhere, which will also attract strange eyes from the villagers.
This is the consequence of their lack of hard work. After all, the Ice Field Mammoth is the least dangerous monster. As long as you exercise your body a little, you can beat them.
"What about you? What prey did you bring back when you were in the coming-of-age ceremony?"
Misty couldn't help asking.
After all, Gu Yun is only over 1.8 meters tall, and his figure is indeed good among ordinary people, but it is pale in comparison with two professional boxers who are over 100 meters tall and strong and muscle-wearing professional boxers who passed by just now.
From the bottom of her heart, she felt that Gu Yun was in a difficult position to beat the Ice Field Mammoth, and she should have no chance of winning against the saber-toothed tiger with agile movements.
Before Misty came to City X, she had indeed heard of some elders' practices. She obviously didn't do well when she was young, but she always compared her own children with the best ones. She now felt that Gu Yun was downplaying such a terrifying custom of adulthood, and maybe she was the same type of person as those elders.
It must be because my sister was unexpectedly recognized by the Holy Sword, so her ambitions became swelling.
"My situation is quite special. Due to some emergencies, I was unable to bring back the S-class monsters smoothly."
Ah, it's true.
Misty looked at Gu Yun with a squinting eyes - in short, the next thing was a pretty word like "I originally wanted to attack the S-class monster, but I encountered irresistible factors, so I could only bring back the Icefield Mammoth."
Gu Yun's expression seemed quite solemn. The process of participating in the coming-of-age ceremony was not going smoothly, so he was still worried when he remembered this matter.
"I don't know who leaked the news in the year I attended the coming-of-age ceremony."
Huh?
Gu Yun's painful tone made Misty stunned. What is the relationship between attending the coming-of-age ceremony and going-to ceremonies?
But when she looked at Gu Yun's unwillingness on her face, she seemed to be false. Could it be that there was something hidden in the past?
For example, this person is actually a genius, but he was envied by the villagers and stabbed in the back?
In the environment where Misty lives, this kind of thing happens from time to time. Whether it is famous or civilians, their jealousy of the strong will not change.
"I have traveled half of the continent and I haven't found an S-class monster."
While speaking, Gu Yun couldn't help but clench his fists.
He stabbed at least a dozen S-level monsters' nests, but no matter where he went, the nest was gone.
It may be a coincidence one or two times, but more than a dozen S-level monsters are not at home. This must be because someone leaked the news before him.
And to this day, he still doesn't know who was leaking the news.
“…so you failed to complete the coming-of-age ceremony?”
An Ling was also a little surprised. Gu Yun had never mentioned her coming-of-age ceremony before, so she instinctively thought that the other party should have killed an S-class monster very ordinary and brought it back to the village.
"I suspect someone wants to frame me."
The man was a little short of success. Gu Yun calmed down and added, "If I hadn't happened to meet an evil god later, I would have had to return without success."
As he told Anling's cousin last time.
