Chapter 44: The rampant descent of thieves in troubled times
In the past few days of getting along, Ling has intermittently learned from Aqier some of the things that happened after she left. After learning more about Yue Chuo's promise to Aqer, she also regarded it as a
My own responsibility. But I still can't figure out why Yue Chuo decided not to use magic. Since he has made such an important decision to liberate the orcs, Yue Chuo, as a sage, should make full use of his magical talent.
What's more, his ultimate goal is to "go home". In the world of magic, such a goal is naturally easier to achieve by relying on magic. This is simply like a person who obviously has a huge amount of money, but has to rely on begging to survive.
When she thought that Yue Chuo was always thinking about how to leave, she felt a sadness in her heart for no reason.
"Could it be..." Zero suddenly felt that he had grasped something and exclaimed, "Could it be that he remembered the time he saved me and didn't lose consciousness because of the rage!"
Ajier looked at Ling with a somewhat surprised expression, and was at a loss as to what the other party was talking about. Although she was also present at the time, her vision was blurred by the smoke and dust, so she didn't know exactly what happened, so she really couldn't understand what she was feeling.
What kind of waves did Zero stir up in the heart of the person involved?
Just when he was speechless, Aqer seemed to notice something moving. His long ears twitched and he listened carefully around the woods.
"Shh..., there is someone." Putting his index finger on his lips to silence, Aqal whispered, "There are many people three miles away from us in the south of the woods."
"Can you hear how many people there are?" Zero asked himself that his hearing was quite good, but compared with Aqal's orc talent, he had to feel inferior.
"It's hard to say, it's very noisy." Aqer listened carefully for a moment before saying, "There must be at least forty or fifty people. It looks like they just sneaked into the woods. They spoke very softly."
"Forty or fifty people? They can't be villagers hiding from thieves, right?"
"I don't know." Aqal shook his head and said, "Their conversation was very vague. I could only barely hear words like 'village', 'food', and 'action'."
"Let's go over and have a look, confirm the origin of the other party, and then make a plan." After thinking for a moment, Ling made a decision, "Cover the fire with sand and earth, and put the mount here first."
Zero was an excellent hunter, and the rabbit-shaped orc Agel was uniquely endowed. The two moved quickly and lightly in the forest, and within a few minutes they discovered the looming fire in front of them.
The two slowed down their pace and carefully leaned towards the fire. After a while, they saw five or six bonfires scattered in an open space in the forest, with more than ten people sitting around each bonfire.
Lying behind a bush, the two of them looked at the nearest bonfire through the gaps between the branches and leaves.
I saw more than ten people sitting around, all with hideous and ugly faces, wearing different and random matching leather and metal armors. A large leg of unknown beast was roasting on the bonfire, and the people sitting around kept coming from time to time.
Tear off the uncooked, bloody pieces of meat from the leg and chew them.
Zero and Aqal couldn't help but look at each other, and saw that the other's thoughts were the same as their own. These people were not villagers hiding from each other, but thieves who could make the villagers frightened!
"After eating and drinking, I'll sleep with his grandma first." Sure enough, one of the big men immediately confirmed the two's suspicions. After taking a big gulp of wine, he wiped his lips with his sleeve and said with a smile, "When we get to the field tomorrow morning, brothers
You can kill as much as you want, and rob as much as you want. It's best to find a few beautiful women and reward the brothers, hahahahaha!"
