Chapter Two and One Three: Lu and Lin
The village is like a rice seedling in the field, tenaciously absorbing water amidst the withered greenery of summer, and emerging bit by bit from the soil of the "Land of Desire". The rice seedlings that nourish the village grow
The so-called moisture refers to the desire that is naturally stimulated in people's hearts.
Merlin and Sheldon were rotated out after an hour, and as of today, their work has come to an end. They spend about ten hours a day traveling, and the rest of the time is to find a quiet place to camp.
Rest. The two told the other people responsible for guarding the orc prisoners that these orcs had no intention of escaping. After repeatedly emphasizing, the remaining people were finally given a shot of cardiotonic and ran to the carriage with trembling legs.
Unexpectedly, Prilius and Sheldon got into the carriage at the same time. When they saw him getting off the carriage, their bodies were swaying.
"No...I can't, this smell is too bad..." Prileus almost fell to the ground with stars in his eyes, but Sheldon quickly helped him up.
stand up.
"They must have not had a bath in a long time, but they are quite peaceful." Sheldon squeezed Prileus's shoulder and asked, "How is the situation in your carriage?"
Prilius rubbed his swollen eyes and said: "It's not bad, it just smells a bit. It's really strange. If there is any commotion, I don't need to speak, but the strongest tiger orc next to me helps me.
Town place."
"Is that so..." Sheldon nodded, "We are about the same."
Sheldon told Prilius the inside story of this incident in the car. Although he was surprised, he was not too disgusted, probably because he didn't like orcs very much. In the end, he just yelled a few words such as "It's evil."
Such words as "high-ranking officials and noble people" and "will only let us little minions do the dirty work".
"I really can't believe how these orcs managed to die peacefully." Sheldon sipped his saliva and said, "If it were me, I would have tried every means to escape."
"Anyway, the orcs are not of much benefit to us. Whether they live or die has nothing to do with me." Prilius rolled his eyes and kept patting himself, for fear that his clothes would be stained with orc hair. "I haven't encountered them much.
I passed them, and at first I thought I could keep them as pets. I didn’t expect that they are all five or six times bigger than me, so forget it, I’m afraid he’ll slap me to death if I work as a coolie.”
"Is that so..." Sheldon rubbed Merlin's little hand while looking out the window, "There are many orcs who were captured to make up for their crimes, and they are also very innocent."
"Anyway, I'm just taking the money and leaving, so why do I care so much?" Prileus raised his head and slowly looked at Sheldon's face, "Sheldon, you won't do anything stupid.
Bar?"
Sheldon shrugged: "No one would be stupid enough to do this. Just do your job well. There is no need to wade into this muddy water. Your sense of justice doesn't seem to be that high. It's full of interracial relations.
prejudice."
"Tch!" Prileus smacked his lips in disdain, "Come on, it makes you seem very noble."
The convoy stopped next to a village in the evening. The officials stayed in a hotel, while the mercenaries responsible for guarding the orc prisoners had to stay between the convoys and be on standby at any time.
"I don't care what you do with these beasts, but I want to see them before I come back tomorrow, and they must be alive. The food for the prisoners is in the last carriage. As for your food, you should bring it yourself." This is
The first and last words left to them by the person responsible for delivering the message.
These are lazy silverfish who only shirk their responsibilities! Don't even look at who will help you clean up these messes! Prileus was really angry and kicked the side of the carriage hard, and it hurt a lot.
There is a clear river in front of the village. People in the convoy can use the water to boil and drink, and of course they can also take a bath. One of the mercenaries guarding the orc prisoners suggested that the orcs go into the river to take a bath.
Maybe it would wash away the stench from their bodies. No one objected, after all, the experience in the car was absolutely nauseating.
The orcs squeezed down from the two carriages like toothpaste and gathered together timidly. The two strongest orcs naturally stood in front of them and became the leaders of the shackled ones.
"You need to clean your body." Sheldon walked up to the sturdy wolf-orc and ordered, "You should be able to see a small river next to it, where you can go and wash."
The wolf orc looked down at the man in front of him and twitched his ears: "We will be sentenced to death, there is no need to take a bath."
"This is an order." Sheldon said decisively, "The power now belongs to me, and you must obey the order."
"I know, I will ask them to take a bath." The wolf orc said solemnly, "We will not escape."
He is different from ordinary wolf orcs. The hair on the top of his head is very long, reaching to the back of his neck. The hair on his neck has not been trimmed, just like a lush bush.
"What's your name?" Merlin, who was following Sheldon, asked, "And what's the name of the big tiger next to you?"
"I'm Lu, there's no point in calling me now."
"I am Lin, and each of us is a squad leader of the previous orc rebel army." The tiger orc shook his tail, his expression not very good-looking.
"You can choose to eat first, or you can choose to take a shower first."
The orcs finally chose to eat, and the small bonfires became dots of stars on the ground, glowing and glowing. All officials and mercenaries brought their own food, and they could eat three meals a day, but the prisoners' meal time
Only during this time of night.
When Prileus opened the carriage containing food, the rancid smell that hit his nostrils almost made him faint. The carriage was filled with grain powder piled up like a hill. Prileus could judge by smelling the smell.
, However, I don’t know how long this powder has been there...
But with the orc's stomach, he should be able to eat it.
Every orc was given a bowl of rice flour paste brewed with water. Even if it had no taste, they had to make do with it. Merlin did not see the look of disgust on their faces, but only heard the sound in their mouths.
It makes a constant "whooshing" sound when it is burned.
Sheldon went out to fetch water, while Prileus and Merlin sat next to the tiger orcs and ate dry food that was not very tasty. It was not very delicious, but this kind of naan was still very sweet and delicious with hot milk.
"Can you eat enough of these things?" Merlin couldn't help but ask as he watched Lin slowly test the temperature of the paste with his tongue.
"Kid, there's no need for you to talk to people like us." Lin's nose exhaled a decadent hot breath, and his tail waggled slightly, "Of course you won't be full with these foods."
Prileus finished his meal first, sat on a small stool made of temporary logs and took a nap.
"Then what did you eat before? Before you became rebels?"
The tiger orc's eyes widened slightly: "You don't need to know. We are just a group of death row prisoners, not worthy of your care, let alone your mercy."
The nightmare made some noise at this time: "That wolf orc has similar power to the bear orc at that time. Try not to provoke him."
"Really? Is it related to fate?" Marquez said, "But he shouldn't resist."
"Just reminding you, if there is really any movement, just kill him directly." Nightmare said, "That's not what I mainly want to say. I can feel that there are two very powerful things coming from here.
It’s not far away, so you have to be careful. I can’t analyze what power they have at the moment, and I’ll have to get closer to find out.”
"Well..." Merlin paused for a moment, turned around, and said with a smile to the tiger orc, "Why don't you try to escape? Is it just for this simple reason?"
The tiger orc took a sip of the paste, and his eyes were like arrows, piercing Merlin's body coldly: "Even if we escape, we have nowhere to go."
He found that his eyes could not see through the child who was only as tall as his legs in front of him! His pupils shrank, and the hair on his body stood up bit by bit.
There is something wrong with this kid...but he really can't see it.
"Would you like me to help you?" Merlin took a bite of the naan, and then threw the rest into Lin's bowl, "I can't eat any more."
"Human help comes at a 'price'. We can't afford this 'price'. What's more, you look so insignificant and can't help much." Lin broke the naan that Merlin threw to him into pieces.
He ate the pieces together with the paste, and a strange heat flowed slowly through his body.
He let out a long breath. The small piece of naan now was no different from a delicacy. In just a moment, he drank the bowl of rancid paste.
"Of course I can provide help. As for what kind of help, it will be clear when the time comes." Merlin's eyes gradually changed from golden to frivolous lavender. He turned to Lin, who was holding the bowl, and his face was gradually frightened, and he was shaking on the stool.
His own feet, "This is an opportunity. Let's not mention the price for now. Whether you can seize this opportunity or not depends on you."
"You..." Lin licked his mouth, and a nameless fear slowly grew in his heart, "You are not human."
Merlin smiled happily and nodded vigorously: "But even if you are not a human being, there is no price for helping? But I haven't decided what I want you to do yet... Of course, you can also refuse.
, I believe no one will remember you who were beheaded in such a wilderness."
"I..." Lin paused, "I can dedicate my life to you."
Merlin was surprised that this guy would believe in him so decisively: "I don't want your life. What's the point of taking your life? Let's talk about it then. As for how to help, it is also my own business. You even
No need to intervene."
"I don't know why you want to help us." The tiger orc sighed and put down the bowl in his hand.
"Because it looks fun, doesn't it?"
