From Prisoner to Si Chen

"You've grown up, kid."

Segel said with emotion and relief.

His son's performance just now was completely approved by him.

His movements of drawing the bow and setting the arrow are very standard.

He has keen perception, extraordinary vision, and decisive action.

Coupled with his young and strong body, I believe my son will soon become a mature hunter in his own right.

And this also means that he has the capital to start a family.

"It's still early, we still have time..."

Segel took out his skinning knife, squatted down, and skillfully peeled off the hare's fur. Then he pulled out the arrow, wiped the blood with a coarse cloth, and handed it back to Gilan.

He raised his head and smiled:

"Work harder, I hope I can catch more prey today."

"Okay." Gilan nodded and answered simply and clearly.

Next, the two of them continued deep into the dense forest on the mountain, carefully weaving through the bushes and trees.

Segel is worthy of an old hunter, with a sharp eye, and can easily judge the type, size, weight and habits of prey through footprints, feces, urine and some traces of digging in the soil. This infers the prey's activity range and lays some traps.

The two of them searched for traces of prey.

The morning passed quickly.

It can be said to be a fruitful harvest.

A total of six hares, a pheasant, and a strong wild boar were hunted.

Most of them are attributed to Weiwei, but Segel is only a mortal, and his gnosis is not enough to see the existence of the familiar. Therefore, in his opinion, his son was like a divine revelation, which even made him feel ashamed.

Except for the wild boar, all other prey were basically killed by Jilan with one arrow, without any suspense.

This surprised Segel, who was following him all the way.

If good archery is a matter of talent and accumulation, then Jilan's fighting skills shocked him again.

At that time, the wild boar was hit by two arrows in the eye and neck. It was bleeding and rushed towards the two of them desperately.

Segel took out his hunting knife and stood ready to fight with him.

However, his son turned sideways to avoid the wild boar's collision, and took the opportunity to kick it in the abdomen, knocking it to the ground.

Then he swooped down, held down the strong wild boar, picked up the stone next to him, and smashed its head. After a few times, the wild boar kicked its legs and stopped making any movement...

Sager subsequently inspected and found that the wild boar weighed at least more than 400 pounds, making it a large prey. But he was hunted down by his son all by himself.

However, what he didn't know was that in order to act like a young man who was slightly talented but not too outrageous, Jilan suppressed how much of his own strength...

No matter how ferocious the wild boar is, it's just a matter of one kick.

Fortunately, Jilan spent a long time doing ink.

Although I hunted a strong wild boar, it was too big and had a big problem, that is, it was difficult to transport.

Seeing this, Segel had no choice but to say:

"You wait here, I'll go back to the village and call some people over, and then move the wild boar back together."

"Okay, father, go ahead."

Gilan sat on the boar and smiled.

Segel nodded, turned and left.

Before leaving, he said with great emotion:

"Praise God Pan for making my son stronger and stronger, so that he can hunt more prey in the future..."

Hearing this, Jilan's eyes became even deeper.

…

…

At noon.

The sun is in the sky.

A group of five or six villagers happily helped Segel and his son carry the prey back to the Icon Village with thick wooden sticks.

Because they knew that the generous Seger would not let their efforts go in vain, and the meat they hunted today would benefit them a little bit.

And this is enough.

Ji Lan followed the crowd and walked slowly into the village along the muddy path under the hillside. From a distance, he saw rows of wooden fences with some vegetables and fruits planted inside.

On the edge of the village, there is a clear stream that is not wide. At this time, there were some children wearing off-white linen clothes chasing and playing by the stream.

Some linen clothes were drying on a wooden rack, swaying in the wind.

As soon as he entered the village, Jilan saw a four- to five-meter-tall stone statue standing on the roadside.

The surface of the stone statue is covered with moss and looks like it has been around for many years. There are many flowers presented by local villagers placed underneath.

Its image is that of a sheep-headed man sitting cross-legged, androgynous, with his chest exposed, but his whole body is covered with fine fish scales. His expression was solemn, his eyes half-closed, looking down ahead.

Spread your left hand flat and point to the ground.

The index and middle fingers of the right hand are raised together and pointed at the sky.

There is also a swirl symbol engraved on the forehead of the stone statue. Pointing to the God of nature and uncertainty, "Mao Xi's Shell" Gamei.

'God Pan...'

Ji Lan's eyes flashed, and she thought to herself.

He learned some information from the chats between several villagers and Segel on the way.

The name "Icon Village" comes from this stone statue of "God Pan". As the village developed, villagers began to regard Pan as their faith.

In the eyes of these villagers, belief in Pan can make men stronger, women more fertile, and crops will have a bumper harvest.

The god Pan is omnipotent and is also their patron god.

However, there was only one person in the village who sneered at this.

That is the man of the Ballard family, the only priest of Icon Village, Theo Ballard.

It is said that Theo moved here more than ten years ago.

He is a registered pastor of the Hope Church, but at a certain consecration ceremony, he offended the lord's wife because he did not recite a eulogy for the lord as requested by the lord's wife.

In the end, the Church of Hope in the city had no choice but to transfer Theo away... The stubborn and upright Theo Ballard could not bear to be humiliated and no longer wanted to be oppressed by power, so he resolutely took his wife to a foreign country.

He eventually settled in Ikon Village, where he and his wife had a son and a daughter. However, the villagers in the village seem not to be interested in Dawn Faith, but firmly believe in the local "God Pan".

This made Theo a little helpless.

No matter how hard he tried, he could not convince the villagers that Pan was evil and that only Omer, the "Noonday Dawn", was the hope of mankind.

"Wow! Segel! I came back with a full load today!"

Jilan and his party were carrying prey through the main road in the village. At the doorways of stone and wooden houses along the way, many villagers' eyes lit up.

"I'll ask little Jesse to get some fresh vegetables and potatoes later, and I'll go find you in exchange for some meat."

"Hey! Uncle Segel, the new knife you want is forged!"

"What a charming man! Dimitri, can't you be like Segel and come back with more prey? Cardo is only three years old, which is the age when he needs to eat meat!"

The villagers said hello to Segel.

Segel responded with a smile, not forgetting to tell the villagers loudly that these prey were hunted by his son today.

Everyone knows Segel's character and never lies.

Suddenly, pairs of eyes looked at Gilan, full of shock and joy.

"amazing!"

"Little Jilan has inherited his father's skills!"

"In the future, our Icon Village will have another outstanding hunter!"

The villagers were talking a lot.

Many women even went into the house and pulled their daughters out. The girls didn't know why, but they followed their mother's whispered advice, kept arranging their hair and clothes, waving and smiling at Gilan.

But Gillan just smiled politely.

At this time, two boys and girls walked towards each other on the way.

He looks about sixteen or seventeen years old.

The two look very similar, and they look like twins, and their facial features are very delicate.

The boy is handsome and tall, and the girl is beautiful and graceful.

Segel and his party recognized the two little guys and greeted them loudly.

"Hey! Peyton! Sasha!"

Next to Jilan, a rugged man smiled.

"Why didn't you pray with your father, Pastor Theo, today? Did you sneak out? Be careful of getting your legs broken!"

"Uncle Della, today is a day off."

The brown-haired boy laughed playfully.

The girl next to him also smiled shyly.

Ji Lan looked at the two of them, but his pupils shrank.

Payton…

Sasha? !

The real name of Miss "Bishu", the apostle of "Twin Kite" in May Sichen, is Peyton Sasha!

Is it a coincidence?

No……

Gillan immediately thought of the "Pan" entry's description of the film "Pan", which clearly stated that it recorded the secret history of a certain apostle's ascension.

‘So, the story told in “Pan” is about Miss Bi Shu? ’

He thought to himself that he could almost conclude that the protagonists of this film were the twins in front of him!

"Brother Jilan!"

Payton and her sister Sasha walked quickly and gathered around Gilan.

The two people in Jilan's sight had colorful entries appearing on their sides.

After glancing at the prompt, he understood.

It turned out that the son of Orion whom he had replaced had been playmates with his twin siblings since childhood, and was also their best friend and brother in the Icon Village.

"Are these the prey you caught today?"

Sasha looked at the hare, pheasant and the huge wild boar hanging on the stick and said in surprise.

Her eyes sparkled with reverence.

"Amazing!"

At this time, Segel saw his son's dazed look and raised his brows with a look of surprise on his face.

He decisively took out the hunting knife from his waist, cut several strings on the stick, and took out three hares and a boar leg.

"Take it." He stuffed the meat into Jilan's arms, and then whispered: "Send it to Sasha's house personally."

After saying that, he patted Gilan on the shoulder again, then called a few villagers carrying wooden sticks, and left directly.

The three young men were left standing there.

Although Segel deliberately lowered his voice just now, Sasha and his brother were still vaguely heard due to their close proximity.

Sasha blushed and said nothing.

He didn't even dare to raise his head and look at Ji Lan.

On the other hand, his younger brother Peyton chuckled, stared closely at the prey in Gillan's hands, swallowed his saliva, and said:

"Brother Jilan, are you going to visit our house?"

"Well, let's go there."

Ji Lan thought for a moment, smiled and nodded.

He picked up the meat in his hand and said again:

"You can have a good meal today."

"great!!"

Payton raised his hands and cheered, and quickly took the boar leg. But the heavy weight almost made the sixteen-year-old boy fall to the ground.

It made Sasha giggle.

The girl quickly covered her mouth again and looked at the blond young man cautiously, as if she was worried that her laughter would be too loud and arouse his disgust.
