Lion King’s Adopted Son

Claire carried an antelope on her shoulders, porcupine in her hands, and buffalo meat in her mouth, taking Gerald back to their temporary residence—a small cave.

Although he knew that the ladies in the big cat world were very powerful, Gerald had never imagined that Claire was so powerful.

After returning to the cave, she threw the prey casually on the ground, and Gerald hurried over to push the hay piled in the cave away with his small body to avoid getting bloodstained. This is where he sleeps.

“You still like to spread these messy things so much,” Claire said.

“But you can’t deny that sleeping on the haystack is much more comfortable than sleeping on the ground.” Gerald threw himself on the haystack and rolled happily, revealing his light-colored belly, lying unwilling to move .

“Maybe, but it doesn’t make much difference in my opinion.”

“Are we going to start preparing for dinner now?” Gerald stared at the large antelope and swallowed silently: “Claire , why don’t we make roasted venison?”

“Are you sure you want to eat cooked food? I think you may not be able to wait to roast the antelope before eating it?” Claire raised her eyebrows.

Gerald raised his little head and tilted his head to look at Claire: “But, everyone here eats cooked food. If we eat raw meat directly, it would be bad for them to find out right?”

Treat yourself as a part of nature, hunt and eat according to the rules of nature, and rarely eat cooked food. Before meeting Pascal and the others, he didn’t even have room to be picky. As a parentless lion cub, the food he can get is very limited. As long as he can ensure that he will not starve to death, it is already very content. As for eating cooked food, he does not dare to think about it. Competition in nature exists every moment. If it finally gets a little food and has to wait for it to be cooked before eating, I am afraid it will be snatched by other predators long ago.

After entering the Pascal Lions, he still maintains his original eating habits, because the lions of the Pascal Lions seem to have the same eating habits as the Garnerian Lions. As a new member of the Lions, he has always been in terms of diet. Maintain a high degree of consistency with the lions. It wasn’t until after the orc tribe came this time that he began to come into frequent contact with cooked food.

Thinking of what she heard from her last life, the digestive systems of the beasts made them unsuitable for cooked food, Gerald couldn’t help but worry: “Claire, we eat cooked food… won’t we have indigestion? Will we suffer from this? And the accumulation of food?”

Claire glanced at it sideways: “I have to say, there are some things you are worried about. You know, we are not the same as those pure beasts, whether it is raw food or cooked food, it is all about us. It’s the same, the only difference is the preparation time and the taste.”

“So that’s how it is…” Gerald nodded in a dignified manner, and then Claire slapped him on the back of the head: “There’s still more you don’t understand. , be more diligent and observe, little slacker.”

Gerald covered his head and weakly stepped aside, “Claire, I think you are becoming more and more violent, and if you continue like this, you may really become a male…”

“Thanks for the reminder, but you don’t have to worry about that, I know exactly whether I’m male or female.” Gerald swore that he heard the sound of Claire grinding her teeth, which made him feel a dangerous message, and subconsciously distanced himself from Claire.

Thankfully, Claire had no intention of continuing to be violent, and her attention had now turned back to their prey: “For us, an adult male antelope is already a very hearty meal, isn’t it?” As for the porcupine, we can boil it up with salt so that it can be kept longer. In case we don’t get enough food on our next hunt, we won’t go hungry with stockpiles. The problem now, is that we have to get some salt — we have to swap the buffalo for salt. Whether it’s roast lamb or a porcupine, we need salt. ”

Claire handled the buffalo with the dagger she had been carrying all times, and Gerald stared at the knife in her hand and asked curiously, “Claire, where did you get your knife from?” How come I’ve never seen you use it before? ”

“I bought it when I went to the city of Deritley, and we occasionally go to town to get some of the things we need, don’t you think we never leave the prairie?” Listen little Gera, I repeat, we are not ordinary beasts, don’t look at us with the eyes of those beasts. ”

“Okay, okay, I’m fully aware of that. However, I find it strange that you look like people who grew up in the town, not at all like you need to make a living on the prairie. Why did you come to the prairie? What species are you who can transform into human form? ”

“You ask so many questions at once, which one is better for me to answer first?”

“It’s good to start with the last question – after all, that’s what I’m most concerned about right now.”

“Well, then I’ll tell you about the evolution of our race. In the beginning, our ancestors lived in that prairie, no different from the beasts. The life they lived consisted of the monotonous elements of hunting, patrolling territory, and reproducing offspring. One day a god landed on this prairie, and he was the great god Brahmin, who gave our ancestors wisdom and potential to stand out from the beasts…”

“Wait, let me interrupt, Claire, are you sure you’re not telling an illusory mythological story?”

“No, that great god is real, he was the ancestor of our evolved lions! You, me, Lord Pascal… We all have the blood of that god flowing through our bodies, you know? The city of Floville, where I was born, still stands a statue of him! I even had the privilege of seeing him in person ten years ago! ”

Claire’s excitement and vague pride made Gerald shudder. He had to admit that, as an atheist, he was completely incapable of understanding Claire’s fanaticism. If it weren’t for Claire’s last words, I’m afraid Gerald would have thought the girl was a brainwashed fanatic.

“You said you once saw that… That God? Somehow, Gerald felt as if things were a little beyond her imagination.

“Yes, see for yourself!” Claire straightened her waist, as if doing so would make her words more convincing: “The grown-ups will come to see us every once in a while, and there will be ten years until his next arrival, and then you will know whether what I said is true or false.”

Even the specific time came out, and it didn’t look like it was fake, but Gerald felt even stranger. If the so-called gods really exist, then why do they come to visit them regularly? Don’t tell it that God loves the world or anything like that, he doesn’t believe it at all, it’s not at all like God would do it. If those so-called gods are not actually gods, then what kind of creatures are he, or them?

The sheer volume of information was about to cram into Gerald’s tiny head, and he shook his head, deciding that he was now suspicious.

These things have nothing to do with him for now, curiosity is curiosity, but there is no need to understand it immediately.

“Claire, I take your word for it, so go ahead.”

Claire looked suspiciously at Gerald, who looked like a well-behaved baby waiting to hear the story, and stretched out two hands to pull Gerald’s face to the sides: “Do you really believe it or do you fake it?” Hey, don’t mess with me! ”

“Of course it’s true, you!..let go of your hand, it hurts, it hurts!” Due to the physical stimulation, Gerald’s eyes were filled with transparent liquid, which looked very pitiful.

“…… Where did I just say, let me think. Oh, yes, the god Brahmin gave our race wisdom and strength, and our ancestors gradually distinguished them from the ordinary beasts. Our ancestors left the steppes and gathered together to form city-states.”

“Is that the three big cities and nine small cities you mentioned earlier?”

“Yes, the three big cities are The City of Floville, the City of Drittley and the City of Garamani. Among them, the city of Floville is my hometown, as well as the hometown of Lord Pascal and Leon. Lord Pascal’s father was the previous lord of Floville, and after his death, his brother Serantte expelled Lord Pascal, who was supposed to be the heir of the lord of the city, and took the position of lord of the city himself. At this point, Claire paused briefly: “You know what? That prairie was also known as the Land of Exile among several large cities, and when the lords of the city dealt with criminals who were deeply sinful but could not be killed directly, they would knock their elemental power to the lowest level, and then throw them into the exile land to fend for themselves. Being knocked down is a huge damage to the elemental-capable, and under serious injuries, they will most likely not be able to escape the fate of being devoured by wild beasts.”

It turned out that Pascal was not actually a poor stray lion, but a real local tycoon and a rich second generation, but unfortunately his family property was occupied by the evil uncle, and he himself was swept out. In her heart, Gerald silently lit a candle for a certain lion.

A male lion who had just defeated the Panther and was following the breath of Claire and Gerald sneezed, once again feeling an inexplicable malice.

“Then Pascal, he was also once knocked down?” Gerald asked.

“Yes, at that time Lord Pascal was a second-level ability, and he was not yet an adult, and he had no ability to resist Serantte at all.” As if recalling that experience, Claire’s face was angry: “Lord Pascal is his nephew, but he not only robbed him from the position that originally belonged to Lord Pascal, but also wanted him to die!” How could there be such a cruel uncle! ”

This is normal. Gerald silently complained in her heart, for the power of the head to break the bloody thing, uncles rob nephews, sons rob father, and brothers and brothers wall or something, in the last life he did not see too much in history textbooks! Miss Claire was still a little naive in this regard.

“How did Pascal survive then?”

“Leon and I are both followers of Lord Pascal, and we certainly don’t watch the Lord we follow die before our eyes. And then things are like what you see. Lord Pascal took us on a continuous migration across the prairie, and finally chose the side of the Garnerian lion herd as our station.”

“What about the other male lions and lionesses, who, like you, followed Pascal to the prairie?”

“No, the Vanna sisters were exiled to the steppes, and they were originally from a family in the city of Garamani, but that family fell, and they became sinners from the nobility. When we met them, they were dying, and it was Lord Pascal who saved them. So, when they were healed, they joined us.”

“As for the other two lions, Sheehan and Vidi, I don’t know exactly where they came from, but they don’t look like exiled people, maybe they’re just noble children who come to train—there are always some families who do that every year.” They swore allegiance to Lord Pascal, so they were our companions. ”

Gerald let out a breath: “Sounds, this is really complicated. ”

“Yes, but the most important thing we need to think about now is not this question, right?” As soon as the words stopped, Gerald heard a noise coming from Claire’s stomach. Gerald looked at Claire’s belly, then at Claire, not expecting Claire to look embarrassed at all, but instead waved to Gerald with a big grin, “Well, I’ve told you what I should tell you, now, let’s go to the orc tribe rally and get some salt and come back.” As you can see, I’m hungry, very, very hungry.”

……

The orc rally was lively. Due to the scarcity of supplies, members of the clan often need to exchange things between themselves.

Gerald noticed that not everyone bartered, and some people took some strangely shaped shells to the stall owner and then took things from the stall owner.

It seems that that shell is the currency of the orc tribe. But at this stage, Gerald and Claire don’t have that stuff yet.

Apparently, in the winter when food is scarce, it is popular to exchange food for food. Since Claire has a bunch of buffalo on her body, there are many orcs or sub-beasts trying to talk to her along the way.

“Friend, do you need to change some vegetables back? Your child must need this.”

Gerald’s face turned green. She took Claire and turned away. Claire was secretly laughing.

“Come on, this Orc friend, come and have a look. This is a special grass leaf we picked from the mountain. Although it has been placed for more than 40 days, it has been well preserved. With it, you can increase the Asian beast’s favor with you. What are you waiting for? Buy some and give it to your beloved Asian beast!”

I have to admit that the orc who sells grass leaves has great talent in selling. Unfortunately, there is something wrong with the object he sells.

With a cold face, Claire took Gerald and left.

“Well… Please wait…”

""

When Claire and Gerald passed a stall, a small voice stopped them. Claire turned her head and saw that she was a weak sub orc. Claire was obviously not used to dealing with the delicate orcs, but out of courtesy, she stopped: “what’s up?”

“I saw you when the tribe was dividing the prey.” The sub-beast looked like Very shy, before he finished speaking, he lowered his head and pointed his finger shyly: “That…I think you are very handsome…”

“???” Claire was confused and had no idea why. But Gerald smelled a little bit of it. But he won’t tell Claire, who let the unscrupulous guy Claire read its joke just now!

Seeing that Claire still hadn’t understood what he meant, the beast was a little anxious. He raised his head and said in a loud voice, “I like you very much, can you be my partner!”

Immediately, the ambiguous gazes of many orcs around him converged. However, their eyes are more envy, jealousy and hatred. They all recognized that Claire was a strange monster who had just come to the tribe. They didn’t expect that she would abduct the Asian beasts in their tribe who were about to cherish animals so quickly. How could they let these bachelor orcs live!

Claire was not as ecstatic as the orcs imagined, she was completely stunned.

When a heterosexual is unsuspectingly confessed by a same-sex(?), what will he/she do?

Claire didn’t know, she felt that her heart was greatly frightened, so she… ran away without hope.

…

Failed to exchange the salt, so that night, Claire and Gerald could only gulp down the tasteless roasted venison.

After eating, Gerald felt like his tongue was about to fade out. He was lying on the ground with his chubby belly drooping and pretending to be dead.

Because of the lack of salt, Claire asked Gerald to get rid of the porcupine and buffalo meat with her, but this was simply an impossible task for Gerald.

He is now beginning to regret that he did not help Claire prevent that “disaster” when he first noticed the signs, and in the end it is his own stomach that suffers 〒_〒.

As for Claire, she was still eating beside hi., as if she wanted to turn depression into appetite.

That night, for the first time in her history, Claire accumulated food.

After a good night’s sleep, when I woke up the next morning, the shadow of the Asian beast’s confession incident on Claire’s heart eased a lot. However, she clearly felt that the eyes of the surrounding orcs were starting to look wrong. As in overnight, they returned to their original cold and defensive attitude, which made Claire feel a little depressed.

“Why did you reject that sub-beast?” The air pressure around the patriarch dropped a lot.

“Why did you agree to him?” Claire felt inexplicable, not to mention that she would never like a sub beast, she didn’t even know him, okay? Who would agree to a courtship with someone they don’t know?

“He’s an Asian beast.” The patriarch said solemnly.

“So I should agree to him? What logic is this? You are the patriarch, so there should be a lot of sub beasts who like you, right? Do you accept any sub beast that likes you?”

“You don’t like sub beasts.” This sentence , he used declarative sentences.

“……”

Claire suddenly felt that there was some inability to communicate between the two, did this guy pay attention to the point of her words!

“Do you like orcs?”

“No, I don’t like Asian beasts, but I don’t like orcs either. Are you satisfied with this answer? I only like my Gerald, I just need to live with my Gerald.” So don’t worry about me robbing Asian beasts with you! I really only like pure, male, and sexual!

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Claire seemed to see a smile on the corner of the patriarch’s mouth, and then he showed a tangled expression.

Reality didn’t give Claire much time to study the expression of the patriarch. Just as they were chatting, the alarm bell in the tribe rang.

The faces of the patriarch and the tribal warriors around him immediately became serious: “No, there are outsiders who broke in, but let’s take a look.”

Claire took half a step and followed. In fact, she was cheeky enough to keep up with her. After all, she herself was considered an outsider in this tribe. Logically speaking, if the people in the tribe did not invite her, she should stay here honestly.

But Claire knows that most of the people who will come to the orc tribe at this time are related to her, not from the city lord of Serantte, or from Pascal’s side, so she needs to wait and wait. It is impossible.

She didn’t forget how the patriarch’s group treated her when they first met. If the person who came was her companion and was chased away by the patriarch, when would she be able to contact them.
