Chapter 93
In the Orc Empire, "half orcs" are a somewhat embarrassing group.
Unlike the fantasy novels that Sui Xiong had read before time travel, in this world, the distinction between "orcs" and "half orcs" is not based on bloodline, but on faith.
The orcs are all creations or descendants of the orc gods. Because of the influence of bloodline, they are naturally believers of the orc gods, and they are even controlled by the orc gods in their souls.
This situation is almost the only one. Although the Creator Gods of other races also have strong influence, they are definitely not able to control themselves from the soul. For example, the Creator God of Humanity, "Mother of Water", has little control and influence over human beings, so they later died under the hands of the Lord of Glory.
Because the soul is affected and controlled, the orcs are very pious about the orc gods. But this situation is not absolute. Sometimes, orcs will awaken for various reasons and get rid of the soul control of the orc gods. In the orcs' empire, this situation is called "degradation"; there are also mixed-race children of orcs and other races, because their bloodline concentration is insufficient, they are born without being controlled by orcs.
Whether innate or acquired, once the soul breaks away from the control of the orcs and gods, it is called a half-orc.
In the Orc Empire, the orcs were not in a good situation. Even if their faith was as pious as before, the orc gods would not respond to them. For the orc gods, believers who were not under their control were not qualified believers. They treated such believers like farmers looking at the weeds on the roadside. They might consider eating them during famine, but no one would usually include them in the recipe.
For a devout believer, it is very painful to be ignored and not receive any response.
But it is not just this that is painful. The orcs are not friendly when they see these guys who cannot receive the response of the gods. In the past years, there have been more than once the waves of slaughtering orcs with pure faith, and each time it will cause thousands or even tens of thousands of orcs to be slaughtered.
Fortunately, this situation has not happened in the past one or two hundred years, probably because the talented and wise Yuneruo secretly controls public opinion. But even Yuneruo is not friendly to orcs. Not only does he usually have heavy exploitation and oppression, but whenever war breaks out, they also form independent armies to carry out the most difficult, most dangerous, but not very high-profile tasks.
Orcs are not fools or masochists, so many orcs will change their past beliefs and their lifestyles after being educated by cruel reality, leaving their homeland and leaving their homeland.
In the main plane continent, half-orcs are the most common wandering races. These have orc bloodlines, but cannot get the response of the creator like orcs. Among the confused wanderers, there are the best mercenaries, but there are also the most brutal robbers.
After losing faith, a small number of powerful orcs regarded honor as their creed in life. Even the proudest knights had to admit their integrity and nobleness. However, many powerful orcs completely fell into material desires after their faith collapsed, and fell into brutal and cunning robbers, rampant everywhere.
The orcs, who make up the majority of the population, have no ability to be chivalrous and do evil. They live in a daze, constantly wandering, working, and after saving some money, they continue to wander, looking for a place that can make them feel at ease. However, most of these orcs cannot find a place that can make them feel at ease until they die, and can only grow old in constant wandering and wandering, and finally die in poverty.
In general, most orcs are living a very unsatisfactory life. They are eager to find a place where they can live and work in peace, or learn some skills that can make them live a stable life.
Recently, the climate of the Orc Empire has not been very good. Although there are no large-scale natural disasters, the grain harvest has indeed declined a little. It is said that this is because the new generation of Sun Gods have a good relationship with the human gods and deliberately make things difficult for them. In addition, after the fall of the Goddess of Harvest, this clergy has not been inherited yet.
In the past, the orcs often gave the Goddess of Harvest in exchange for the richness of the Orcs. It is precisely through this kind of richness purchased to maintain the huge number of the orcs. Since the Goddess of Harvest died, the richness could not be bought, and the Orcs' prairie lost the extra richness, and the population that can be supported naturally dropped greatly.
If it weren't for the fact that many people had died in the Battle of the Sun's Day and the Elimination of the Sun, I was afraid that the situation in the Orc Empire would be worse and the population pressure would be greater.
When the population is under great pressure, there will naturally be insufficient food; when there is insufficient food, the first thing that is hungry is naturally the orcs.
In recent years, half of the orcs have been hungry, and many of them are still starving to death, and they are living in a difficult situation.
So this time I heard that the new technical schools in the Northwest Republic do not have tuition fees, so a large number of relatively strong orcs followed the merchants who wanted money and life to cross the vast desert, and passed through several canyons in the barren mountains to the Northwest Republic.
In the Northwest Republic, they met their fellow villagers, the orcs who had long settled here.
The Northwest Republic did not discriminate against the orcs. Sui Xiong was usually very kind, but he was still quite strict about many problems, one of which was racial discrimination.
This is not a policy that was only after the founding of the country, but a basic national policy that had been established since Sui Xiong established the Void Mask Church and the Void Mask Amusement Park. In the Northwest Republic, racial discrimination is a high-voltage line, and anyone who stepped on it would be electrocuted to death - this is not a description or metaphor. There is really "electric punishment" in the punishment of the Northwest Republic. It was inspired by a man named Yang with a very bad reputation on earth. The main punishment was those with problems. Racial discrimination was one of the key points.
Over time, everyone's attitude naturally changed.
There are many orcs living in the Northwest Republic. A few of them moved here, but most of them were born and raised here since childhood.
Although the Northwest Republic and the Orc Empire are theoretically neighbors, they are actually separated by the world-famous dangerous area "Great Gobi" and are really a natural barrier for ordinary orcs. Therefore, over the years, there have been no orcs who have moved from the Orc Empire to this place, but there are only a few. Now the orcs in the Northwest Republic have either moved from the Southern Gold Coin Federation or are relatives and friends of the orcs strong people.
Even among them, even relatively weak, at least they had left their hometowns for a while and were much stronger in spirit than those of their fellow races who had just left the Orc Empire. In addition, after a long time in the Republic, they were influenced by the enlightened, friendly and positive atmosphere here, and their mental outlook was completely different from those who had arrived.
And the bigger difference are the new generations who were born and raised in the Republic since childhood.
These orcs have never received any education such as "only the creator of faith is true happiness" since childhood, nor have they been discriminated against. On the contrary, because of their own bloodlines, they often have advantages in certain aspects of their bodies, either high, large, strong, powerful, or quick and fast, and look very outstanding among their peers. Therefore, they are full of confidence and a joyful and positive atmosphere, as if they are out of a high morale.
They stood with the recently migrants. Although they looked similar, their temperament was very different, and they were completely different from two races.
"This result has been achieved in just a few decades." Sui Xiong was invisible in the air. Looking at these two completely different orcs, he couldn't help but smile, and his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment and pride.
