Chapter 515: Omrig's Ritual
Under the inquiry of Mama Gaiaan, Varok gave a brief explanation of everything the tribe had done in Azeroth over the years. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
For the turmoil of these years, Gaiaan did not show too much emotion, and always had a faint smile on his face, which made the Sarufar brothers gradually regain their calm.
Of course, Gaiaan was not without change, and when Varok recounted that Durotan had died in Gul'dan's assassination, Chen noticed that the old man unconsciously clenched his fists, and her smile became quite bright when she heard that Thrall had become the current Great Chief under the tutelage of Draketar.
Before Varok could continue his story of Thrall's becoming chieftain, it was already dark, and Gaiaan enthusiastically invited the four of them to a bonfire.
"Boy Sarufar, it's been a long time since you've seen Omrig, right? You're just in time for today! ”
"Don't say that." Hearing Gaiaan's words, Varok smiled wryly, "I'm long past the age of finding a woman, and now Draranosh doesn't need a new mother anymore. ”
"It's a testimony." Gaiaan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Today's Omrig is a rite of passage for many children, and they need you. ”
"Need me?" Varok was a little unable to grasp Gaiaan's point, "Why do you need me?" ”
"They now know the mistake of drinking the demon's blood before, but many good children are in deep pain and can't help themselves, and I hope you can help them get out."
Hearing Gaiaan say this, Varok nodded, and finally agreed.
As it happens, he can't say anything about getting Maghan Orcs to leave Draenor because he has to deal with the Elder Gods.

Omrig is a traditional project of the frostwolf orcs, in this hunting convention, the orc boy will invite the girl he likes to hunt with him, and once the woman agrees, the two parties will be married after the hunt is completed, and Gaiaan brings this activity to Nagrand, to Galadar.
The last of the Red Rash Orcs had regained their health, and this time Omrig was surprisingly large in attendance.
According to Omrig's tradition, young orcs were only allowed to carry one weapon, not armor, and in the wilderness, after they had defeated their prey, they would smear the fresh blood of their prey on their cheeks as a sign of passage.
In the past, Omrig's prey represented the strength of orc hunters, but unfortunately, Nagland no longer supports orcs to do so, although it is less affected by evil powers, but the trend of ecological destruction has been revealed, and it is not easy for young hunters to find and kill their prey.
You know, the unlucky ones are likely to encounter demonized creatures, and those beasts that have been polluted by evil energy are not easy to deal with.
Originally, Varok wanted to go directly to his son after meeting Gaiaan, but he changed his mind after learning that Dranoshi also needed to attend Omrig.
"I think I've been better off when that stinky boy came back with his prey." Varok explained to Lao Chen and Zulkin, "Don't interfere with his hunting, let me see how this kid is doing all these years." ”
In this regard, Lao Chen and Zuerjin naturally have no opinion.
But waiting at the end of the hunt was too boring, so the four of them simply left the roaring campfire and went to the grasslands of Nagrand.
This time Omrig is surprisingly grand, due to the rash that many orcs who were supposed to participate in Omrig before, coupled with the gradual barrenness of the Nagrand grassland, Omrig can no longer hold it once a year, this event is now once every five years, so this time there are many "repeaters" who are several years older.
Among the orcs who participated in this time, many of them were very famous.
Gromash Son of Hellroar, Garrosh Hellroar, Kidrog Son of Deadeye, Son of Jorin Deadeye, Son of Warok Sarufar, Delano Sarufar......
However, in this hunt, the most striking thing is not the "second chief", but a female orc Agna.
Agna is Gaiaan's personal disciple, a shaman from the Frostwolf, who ascended to the Elemental Throne at a young age, listened to the teachings of the Elemental Fury, and became a true shaman.
Many orc boys have some ideas about such an orc who is strong enough to become a female hero, but unfortunately, Agna doesn't think much of them.
In the orc tradition, orcs spent their childhood listening to the stories of heroes, and the glory of the ancestors in the mouths of the old shaman shaped the three views of the orcs, and because of Gaiaan, the "king of stories", as a teacher, Agna's knowledge far exceeded that of her peers.
Unlike other female orcs, Agna does not like to be the "mother of heroes", she is more eager to "become a hero herself", this idea cannot be regarded as a great rebellion among orcs, but it can be called unusual, before Agna, the only female orcs who had this idea were well-known, only Sal's mother, Durotan's wife Draka.
And Agna also regards Draka as her idol, and among the orcs, she has always maintained the image of an "iceberg beauty".
This time, Omrig, no male orc dared to ask Agna to hunt together - for male orcs, if the results of the joint hunt were not as good as their female companions, it would be a lifetime of shame.
Although Agna was good, whether it was Yorin, who foresaw his fate by sacrificing one eye, or Dranosh, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, she carefully chose to hunt alone.
Mama Gaia Ann taught that blind challenge is often death!
Coincidentally, four men wandering in the wilderness spotted Agna's traces.
This athletic female orc, with the help of the power of the wild, discovers a small herd of split-hoofed cattle.
Split-hoofed cattle are giant creatures of Nagrand, often over 3 metres tall, with males exceeding 5 metres and often nearly 10 metres or more from head to tail. Such a behemoth is quite difficult to deal with, and individual orcs often choose to avoid it - after all, Omrig only needs prey, and brave orcs only choose female tarbes (during Omrig's season, male tarbes change horns and have weaker attack power, while female tarbes have the sharpest horns, and they are praised for hunting a female tarbe).
And this time, under the surprised gazes of the four people, Agna did not hesitate to attack the small herd of split-hoofed oxen.
