The Immortal Warlock

Chapter 5: The Proposals of The Canyon Tribe [I]



From a distance, Oscar saw a number of people standing in front of his parents' hut. Judging by their appearances, it was obvious they were not members of the.Birch tribe.

There were large and small packages stockpiled at the feet of these people. Not far away from where they were, was a large herd of cattle, sheep and several horses. And there were still some unloaded goods on the horses' backs.

Oscar didn't know where these people came from, or what they came to do, so he contemplated as he approached. Were they people who came to join their clan? Or maybe they were trade merchants?

Among the neighboring tribes, there were often merchants selling goods on the move. But why did they pile them in front of his father's house?

Curiously, he walked into the hut with his twin sisters and the village soulsmith, Wynter, who they met outside.

As soon as they walked in, he saw two strange men sitting on the smaller wooden seaters inside the hut, while the Kai and the clan chieftess, Kiara, sat in the higher place.

Oscar quickly walked up to them, knelt down, and greeted his parents, the leaders of the Birch tribe according to the tradition of the land. "My greetings, poppa, momma."

"Greetings, poppa, momma." The twin sisters at this time had already gotten rid of their servant status.

As soon as they turned five years of age, Kai and his wife had officially accepted the two sisters as their adopted daughters. That was why their names changed to Shesara and Hespera.

"Chieftain, chieftess." Wynter said with a slight bow.

"Wynter." Kai nodded with a smile, and raised his hand. "Well, we were just about to send someone to call the four of you."

At the signal from Kiara, Oscar and the sisters walked to the chieftess and stood beside her, hereby taking a closer look at the two men sitting side by side, before their parents.

One was tall and mighty-looking, with dark eyebrows and ringing eyes, certainly a fighter by class. But because he had too many facial hair, his age couldn't be determined.

The other was of medium build, with a cold and piercing eyes, like an obsidian blade. Judging from his appearance, he could be regarded as a kind of mage, and he was around twenty years of age.

Both of them were dark-skinned, dressed in coarse animal fur costumes, which must be of their tribal origin.

When Kai saw Oscar standing still, he glanced at the two men and said to them. "Our honored guests, this is my son, Oscar."

The two were surprised at first, then quickly stood up, and Oscar performed a tribal greeting ceremony.

After the ceremonial form of greeting, Oscar heard the young-looking man saying, "I have long heard of your great wisdom, young master Oscar. I'm Guyon of the Canyon tribe, my father is Charbel, the head of the tribe. This is one of our warriors, Luthor."

The mighty warrior immediately tapped Oscar with a fist, and said in a buzzing voice. "It's an honor to meet you, master Oscar."

Oscar immediately replied. "The honor is mine. Please, sit down."

After everyone sat down again, Kai looked around, until his eyes finally settled on Guyon. "Master Guyon, the two things you just mentioned, one of them involved my son, Oscar, so I can't unilaterally make the decision on that. Why don't you tell him yourself. If he agrees, then I'll accept it."

Oscar was surprised when he heard this. What important thing was his father unable to decide on his own?

Guyon leaned sideway slightly, and then said to Oscar. "Young master Oscar, there are two things that brought us here today. May I ask you of them?"

Oscar swiftly gestured with his extended hand. "Please, go ahead, Master Guyon."

Guyon was obviously a little embarrassed. He slightly glanced at the twin sisters beside Oscar and smiled gently. "Let me start with the first one. We came wth a happy event in mind. I've long heard about the beauty of the noble twins of the Birch tribe. So, I came to ask the hands of one of them in marriage. So, I hope the chieftain, and chieftess can grant us this humble proposal."

"Marriage proposal?" Oscar exclaimed, and looked back at his twin sisters.

He was shocked that the heir of the Canyon tribe came to propose the marriage personally, and raised the discussions in front of him and the twin sisters. He was only ten years of age, what would he know about marriage?

Although it was reckless, there was nothing wrong with it. He quickly recovered himself, and asked. "Master Guyon, are you talking about my two sisters?"

Guyon had already noticed the two sisters when they came in. Although his tribe was a larger tribe than the Birch tribe, with tens of thousands of people, he couldn't find a woman to compare with them.

He knew in his heart without any introduction that these two were the daughters adopted by the legendary chieftain of the Birch clan.

So, hearing Oscar's question at this time, Guyon quickly replied. "Yes, young master Oscar. If this wish is granted by your parents, our clan's will forever form an alliance, and we will share our paths together."

Lamentably, what would come, would come after all. Oscar couldn't help but plead with the sisters.

Shesara and Hespera were already young adult. In the tribe, women of their age had all gotten married.

So, to take care of themselves and their future lineage, the two sisters had to get married too. Although he was resentful, Oscar knew that this kind of thing would have to be faced sooner or later.

After thinking about it, Oscar couldn't help asking. "But which of my sisters are you talking about?"

Guyon was extremely happy upon hearing this. Quickly, he got up and extended his hands forward. "The two ladies are greatly beautiful and elegant. Any one of them will be a blessing as a wife."

Oscar nodded appreciatively when he heard the words. The Canyon tribe heir was quite generous, and not a picky eater.

Moreover, the two girls were identical. If one was not closer to them as much as possible, it would be really difficult to tell who was who.

Oscar looked back at his sister's, then turned his head to look at his parents again, and after a moment of contemplation, he said. "Master Guyon, please, can I ask if you have a wife currently?"

One must know, among tribes, high ranking nobles in a tribe could marry more than one wife at will.

Although people didn't know that there was a genetic thing about it, this could indeed make the tribe more populous and prosperous.

However, his father only had his mother as his wife which made him very happy.

Perhaps it was preconceived, because in his memory from his previous life, monogamy had already been established for many generations. Except in some parts of the previous world.

So, in his heart, he was quite angry with all the tribes' way of marrying many wives since there was no real love in that at all.

Upon hearing Oscar's question, Guyon answered solemnly. "Although I'm twenty years of age, I've been practicing magic in an Academy for these past few years, and I just came back. So I have not yet married a wife."

"Oh, are you born a refiner, master Guyon?" Kai couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard this.

"Not at all, chieftain." Guyon immediately replied respectfully. "I became a refiner four years ago and officially graduated as a silver-ranked fire mage, six months ago."

A silver-level fire mage? They all wondered in surprise. No wonder there was a hint of pride in his voice. Such an achievement at a young age.
