Chapter 32: They Already Know!
"When the distinguished guest comes, he will not be welcomed. As soon as Vena reached the steps of the orc chamber, a white-haired orc greeted him with a smile.
"How can you bother the Great Elder's drive, I came in a hurry, and I didn't bring any gifts, so don't be surprised. Wiener was a little surprised by the Grand Elder's personal greeting, and hurriedly replied with a smile.
"What's the strange, over the years, your caravans in Atlanta have given us enough of the Hills. The Great Elder continued to smile.
“...... Haha, yes, yes......" Dean Wiener was stunned for a moment, and then reluctantly covered up the past with laughter. This Great Elder also said it too directly, normal people should think that the Atlantans must have a lot of resentment about being cut off by the Hill Orc Clan, and this Great Elder actually used it to "praise" the people from Atlanta......
"You're here to find the patriarch, aren't you? Come in, the patriarch is idle. The Great Elder didn't care that Wiener was stunned for a moment, and enthusiastically called for Wiener to go to the orc council hall.
"Great Elder, in fact, I also have something to ask to see you. Instead of walking towards the orc council hall, Wiener folded his hands into fists, bowed to the Great Elder, and said.
"Don't don't, don't, I'm actually a person who manages some old immortals, so that all the old immortals have something to do, so that they don't rely on the old and sell the old to affect the big things in the clan. The Great Elder hurriedly shook his hand at Vener: "If you really have something, you should go to the patriarch to discuss, the patriarch's words will work." ”
"Great Elder, you are humble......
"Nothing else, I'll go first, someone just came to report that there is an old immortal who has spread the word about our people's life in the Atlanta Plains, and I have to deal with it. The Great Elder of the Hill Orc Clan, no longer waiting for Vena to finish speaking, hurried down the mountain.
"Great Elder!" Vena tried to call out to the Great Elder, but only received a few waves from the Great Elder without looking back.
"This ......" Wiener smiled bitterly, "That's fine, you can just convince the patriarch of the orc clan later." ”
Wiener gathered up her mood and walked up the steps of the orc chamber, nodding to the guide who had not spoken until now, and let him continue to lead the way.
Before Vena was about to enter the orc chamber, he suddenly paused under the stone pillar at the entrance of the hall and looked back at him.
Standing at the door of the orc council hall located at the top of the mountain, you can see a large area of blue sky and white clouds when you look behind you.
"The sky was blue, the clouds were white, and it was a very comfortable feeling. Wiener thought to himself, "But why do you still feel an indescribable weirdness? From the beginning of walking up the mountain, that weirdness appeared in the bottom of my heart, and I couldn't get rid of it." ”
Wiener shook her head, as if to shake the weirdness out of her head, then turned around and continued to follow the quiet passerby in front of her towards the interior of the orc chamber.
"Maybe it's my own sense of crisis that keeps calling the police...... Being alone in an enemy camp must be dangerous. Thinking of this, Wiener stopped dwelling on the strange feeling in her heart and began to focus on walking and observing.
If you are worried and afraid of danger coming, it is better to observe your surroundings and collect more data to deal with danger.
The vestibule of the orc hall was dark, windowed and unlit, and Wiener could only see the path between the gates leading to the circular dome compound, with only a faint outline visible on either side of the road.
"Probably some armor and weapons are placed, don't we like to decorate the Imperial Palace in Atlanta like this?" Vena Mitre also entered the council hall of the Hill Orc Clan for the first time, and he from the Imperial Kingdom had already regarded the council hall as the private palace of the orc patriarch in his heart. Otherwise, he could not explain why the council hall was built so tall and majestic, and in his heart only the head of a clan and the king of a country could match such a building.
The closer Wiener approached the rotunda, the more he heard a noise, and he estimated that there were at least a hundred or so people arguing in the hall to have such an effect.
"I didn't see a single one on the way up the mountain, did they all gather here?" Wiener guessed as the guide opened the door to the rotunda.
When the door was wide open, the noise in the hall suddenly disappeared as if the mute button had been pressed.
The circular domed hall is completely different from the dark environment of the vestibule, and there is plenty of light here.
Having just stepped out of the shadows to the bright light, Wiener could only squint into the hall. The first thing that catches your eye is the empty and tall space of the hall, like the dwelling of a dragon.
The interior of the hall with a circular dome is also a circular structure, and the light inside the hall comes from the dome and its surroundings. The dome is not enclosed, it has a large concentric hole in the center of the dome, and there are relatively high window openings around it.
In the courtyard, there are eight rows of semi-arc-shaped stone seats, and directly opposite them is a rostrum with two rows of seats, and in the middle of all the seats is a lecture platform, and the lecture platform is located just below the hole in the dome!
At this point, all the seats were almost full of orcs, and the orcs were all staring at Wiener, who was standing in the doorway. Wiener had guessed correctly, half of the people he hadn't seen along the way, except for the old man and children, were here, and the other half were ......
"Ahem, welcome, welcome, guests from Atlanta, you're welcome, come, come in...... Don't stand at the door, go to the pulpit and tell us why you have come to us, for it is time for the clan to hold a general meeting. The patriarch in the center of the rostrum coughed twice to break the silence, and then directly invited Wiener to the lecture platform in the center of the hall!
"......" Wiener was silent, and the strange sense of crisis in his heart became stronger and stronger, making him feel the urge to reflexively run away.
At this time, the sound of the door closing came from behind Wiener, and he unconsciously turned around to look, and saw that the door in the vestibule was suddenly closed, and at the same time, he also saw that the outlines of the "armor weapons" in the shadow of the vestibule before were already standing behind him, neatly and neatly, they were not ornaments, they were orc warriors!
In the light of the hall, Wiener could clearly see the warriors, their vicious eyes covered under cross-shaped helmets.
Wiener knew from those eyes that if he was to escape from the vestibule, he would have to kill all the warriors! Those eyes were certainly not ordinary warriors, they were dead soldiers!
Vena Mitre, who has the skill of shadowless tracking (escape), had to give up his plan to escape from the vestibule in the face of so many dead soldiers, and had to enter the door of the Dome Hall.
"Bang!" as Wiener entered the hall, the door to the Dome Hall was closed by the guide at the same time.
"Please, patriarch, please come to the podium. After closing the door, the guide walked a little in front of Wiener, put one hand behind his back, and pointed horizontally to the podium in the center of the hall, and said to Wiener half-bent.
Wiener had no choice but to walk to the podium under the attention of all the orcs in the hall, fortunately, Wiener was also a teacher and dean in the Atlantan Empire who needed to be watched by many students, at this time he only had a strong sense of crisis in his heart, and did not appear flustered because of the gaze of the crowd.
"Say, say, don't salute us, give us the new humans of the Hill Clan, tell us why you came to us alone!" Vena wanted to salute the people sitting on the rostrum first, and then go to the podium, but was interrupted by the orc patriarch.
Wiener found that the orcs sitting on the rostrum, except for the patriarch, were the elders, not as the orc elder said before, giving people the feeling that the orc elders were dispensable.
"That position must be that of the Great Elder of the Orcs, obviously, the Great Elder was luring himself into this hall at that time!" Vena nodded in the direction of the Orc Patriarch with a strong pretense, but his eyes looked at the empty position next to the Patriarch, thinking about something: "If the Great Elder was sitting here at the time, then what kind of notice would make the Great Elder leave here? Could it really be that there are orcs who are promoting that their Hilly Orc Race once lived in the Atlanta Plains?"
Wiener couldn't think much of it at this point, as he was already standing on the podium, facing most of the power holders of the Hill Orcs.
Wiener suddenly found that the Warcraft humans were sitting like this, and they looked no different from the people of the Atlantan Empire.
"Hello all the new humans here. Wiener opened with a very common sentence, before coming to the orcs, the plan was only to convince the hill orc patriarchs and elders, and at this time he had to try to convince all the orcs in the hall, even if he had a little sense that the orcs were already clear about his motives for coming here......
"I am the dean of the Military College of the Imperial Capital University of the Atlanta Empire, and the current emperor of Atlanta, Atlan V, and the messenger for help, Vena Mitre. ”
"Asking for help?" As soon as Wiener finished introducing himself, the patriarch sitting on the rostrum suddenly interrupted Wiener's words: "Ask us for help?" Haha, this excuse is really reluctant. Haha......"
"Haha......" Vena didn't know why, the orcs in the whole hall, when they heard their patriarch say a word, they laughed with the patriarch, and for a while, the whole hall was filled with ridicule, ridicule, and disdain......
Patriarch: "Okay, okay, let's stop laughing at others, you see that this Wiener is all laughing and confused......"
Audience: "I'm confused...... Haha......"
Patriarch: "Do you want to listen to this 'messenger for help', or do you want to hear their excuse that the Atlantans are going to trick us into sending troops south?"
Audience: "Yes!"
Wiener: "Oh no! they already know!"
