Chapter 16: Orcs

Without further ado, I can't wait to go down and take a look, I dismissed those demonic beasts, and the Beast King of Treading Waves guided the way, and Xiaobai and I followed closely. When I got close to the center of the lake, I used my internal force to drain the water from the nearby lake within 10 meters and landed straight down. When I descended to a depth of 100 meters, I could already clearly feel the presence of the cold spring. After another 100 meters of descent, it has reached the bottom of the lake. I leaned over to the cold spring, wanting to take a closer look.

The temperature was so low that everything in the vicinity froze, and the spring continued to spew out an extremely cold liquid. Unknown substances crystallize around the springs, forming crystal-like shapes. The most peculiar thing is that directly above the spring, there is a crystalline object floating. The power provided by the liquid from the fountain is in perfect balance with its own gravity, and looking at its faint blue light, I cannot help but marvel at the magic of nature's creation. This ore should be even more cold crystal ore, absorbing the essence of the underground cold spring, accumulating and refining for thousands of years, I don't know how to describe it.

I have no doubt that it contains earth-destroying power, and it is a waste to make a so-called artifact, it is an artifact in itself. I wanted to take it with me, but I decided to give up because I didn't have a way to use it. Anyway, no one will rob me, only the three of us can get close to here, if you want to touch that piece of ore, you must at least have the strength of the holy beast level, otherwise it will be self-destruction, so in fact, Xiaobai and I can move it. And once it is removed, there will be a lot less water element here, which is not good for cultivating the Beastmaster here. I don't want to do anything that hurts others or myself, so I have to wait until I come back and get it.

Retracting my gaze, I came up with the idea of the nearby ores. In addition to the cold crystal ore, I also picked a few pieces of cold iron ore, which are the top materials for forging weapons, and they are priceless, haha. The most important thing is that you can forge a few swords suitable for martial arts and give them to the people in the village. It's a good place to be, and as long as you don't remove the floating mineral essence, the other minerals here should be able to recover relatively quickly. So I decided to protect this place and not let anyone else or monsters touch it.

After a moment of contemplation, I decided to set up a phantom array, as long as it wasn't discovered. If it is discovered by a strong person, it is useless to use a normal defensive formation. It was time-consuming to set up those large formations that had been handed down from ancient times, and the required setup materials were not prepared.

The phantom array also has advantages and disadvantages, the lowest level can only be blinded, then knowledge, and finally directly to the human heart. For a strong man, a low-level phantom array is useless at all, and it can only be effective if he confuses his true heart. So I used the Five Elements Yuan Force to set up the Five Elements Mystery Array around it, and the eye of the array was that piece of mineral essence. Based on water, the five elements are born together, and the cycle is endless. As long as I don't undo the formation, it will always be there. Xiao Bai and the Beast King next to him were stunned, and even the little light in his arms stared at me strangely, it was the first time he had seen me show such skills. In their understanding, it was I who took the piece of mineral essence, otherwise how could it be gone. But how did they take it, they wondered for a long time, and they only thought that I was unfathomable.

I don't want to explain for the time being, just beckon Xiaobai to leave here with me, and the Beastmaster of Treading Waves will stay and continue to practice.

When I got out of the water, I found that it was dawn and it was time to say goodbye. Xiaobai still has feelings for this place, and he is reluctant, I almost relented and let it stay. But when I thought that it had eaten that lotus, it was right for me to work, I hardened my heart. At least a few years of hard labor before it can get it home, hehe.

Left white, right Oreo, my shoulders are occupied by them. They all enjoy the thrill of flying, and every time I fly, they always come out of my arms and stand on my shoulder. Although they are natural enemies, after evolving into holy beasts, their wisdom overcomes instinct, and their hostility slowly decreases.

After flying for a long time, he rushed out of the lofty mountains and mountains, and saw a large number of people and horses passing by from a distance. Hurriedly descended on their way forward, waiting for them. On the way, I have taught Xiaobai to restrain his own strength, as for the way to exert his strength, I will talk about it later when I have time, let it explore it by itself first. The power that is too easy to get is not worth cherishing, and the process of hard work is the most nostalgic, so I just mention it slightly.

Shiro and Oreo returned to my arms, and it would be unsettling to have such a pet with you when we first met. The convoy finally got closer and closer, and the leader in front sent a small team of men and horses over.

Several knights, dressed in full-body armor and holding large swords, greeted him. It may be that the person who is the leader of the squad asked sharply, "Who are you who dare to intercept the convoy of the city lord's daughter?"

Dizzy, didn't I just stand in the middle of the road, who said I intercepted the convoy...... Thinking about it for myself, it was a bit wrong, and replied: "I'm very sorry to disturb your trip, I'm just lost, can you tell me how to get to the nearest city?" ”

As soon as I asked, those people immediately drew their swords and surrounded me, and took the lead and said, "Hmph, you are idiots when we are, who doesn't know that this place is close to the border, and Noah City is the only city within a radius of a hundred miles." Dare to intercept the convoy of the city lord's daughter, I think you are impatient. As he spoke, he attacked me and said, "Take him down first, this person must be a spy, and after he is caught, he will be handed over to Miss Yulia for disposal." ”

Damn, don't give me a chance to explain, when I'm afraid you won't make it. The shadows of the swords around me came like a mountain, and I carried Ling Bo to shuttle through it, and they couldn't even touch a single hair of mine. Obviously, they cooperate very well and should cooperate often, but they can't beat me, and the more they fight, the more surprised they become. They had never seen anything like this, and there were many people who were stronger than them, but they had never heard of such exquisite footwork. After a half-ring, the convoy had stopped, and gradually more people gathered around.

Those who came after laughed at the first squad, only to find out when they attacked. My body can only be described as weird to them, sometimes I am about to stab, only to find that the target is suddenly gone. The more they fight, the more weak they become, and the more I play, the happier I become, bringing Ling Bo Weibu to the extreme. In the eyes of onlookers, I am as chic and elegant as a fairy, without a trace of fire.

Finally someone shouted to stop, and the besiegers all retreated, and I turned around and looked at the people who spoke up. That man must have been the strongest fighter in the team, he looked like he was in his 60s, and there were two magicians next to him. Yes, there is even a mentor-level power. I only heard him say, "May I ask your Excellency, what do you mean by this?" Why did you intercept my young lady's convoy? ”

Looking at his eager expression, I knew that he wanted to fight me, and I didn't want to play with him. Then he said: "I just asked for directions, who knew that your men would attack me when they saw me, it was really inexplicable." ”

He was not reckless, and called the squad leader to ask him carefully. Then he asked, "Where is the little brother from and how did he get here?" ”

I had already thought of a countermeasure and replied, "I don't know exactly where my home is, but I know that in this big mountain, this time my village elders asked me to come out to practice, and I don't know where to go?" That's why I asked them, and they attacked me without asking clearly, and they said that I was the same. ”

I tried to pretend to be aggrieved and sympathetic, and the uncle also felt that his subordinates were too much, and reprimanded: "Look at what you have done well, you are always so impulsive." ”

Those warriors were also quite aggrieved, thinking to themselves: Who knew that such a monster would run out of the mountains?

I didn't want to make a fuss, so I hurriedly asked, "This uncle, you are a good person at first glance, why don't you tell me?" ”

At this moment, a little girl ran forward, muttered a few words in the uncle's ear, and ran back again. Still, the voice was low, but I heard it all. She seems to be the maid of the city lord's daughter, and she said that the young lady wanted him to leave me behind. Dizzy, what's going on? I don't think I messed with her, huh?

The uncle was silent for a moment and said, "Since the little brother asked, I might as well say it directly." Our young lady also wants to go back to Noah City, which is the only big city in the vicinity. If you don't mind, how about you join our team? ”

Not afraid of any conspiracy, I nodded yes and told them my name.

I only heard the uncle say again: "Since everyone is going together, you should also have a job, seeing that you are good, why don't you be a bodyguard for our young lady?" We can pay you. How about a gold coin a day? ”

Damn, this profiteer actually gave me such a low salary, obviously suspected of temptation, and really used me as a dirt bag. I had no choice but to pretend to be happy and agree, and told him that I would only protect her to the city, and that the two would not be related in the future. The uncle nodded in agreement and instructed the convoy to move on.

My job was easy, riding a horse behind the frame of the city lord's daughter, and basically nothing to do. The road was deserted, there was no scenery to speak of, and I had to talk to those who traveled with me out of boredom.

Damn, they even ignored me, didn't they just be tricked by me? It's stingy.

Depressed, ostracized, hey, there is still a person who is treated like this? Leaning on it right away, why does it look a little weird?

The person on the other side was a little annoyed when he saw me staring at him, but he didn't have a seizure. By the way, he's supposed to be an orc, but he's too human-like. This was the first time I had seen an orc, and I couldn't help but stare at it for a long time. At first, I just thought he was an ordinary Caucasians, but after careful identification, I found that his skin was abnormally white, and the shape of his ears was very different from that of humans.

I was just about to ask, but he preemptively struck and said angrily, "What's the matter with you? Why do you keep staring at me? Seeing that he was angry, I immediately laughed and said: "This orc brother, I am the first time I have seen an orc, I am a little curious, I am out of shape, I am very sorry." ”

He saw the sincerity of what I said, and because he knew where I came from, so he didn't say much. But I didn't want to miss the opportunity to get to know the orcs, so I immediately pulled closer and asked, "What do you call my brother?" I heard him reply coldly: "Aries, Sampros." "After all, I just met, and I didn't want to talk about it, so I found some ordinary topics to talk about. At first, Sampros responded lightly, but as we talked more and more, he gradually became more talkative. It is estimated that as an orc, he will be rejected by most humans, so he will become silent, and once the conversation starts, he is also quite enthusiastic. (There are some places on this continent that are more repulsive to orcs because of historical problems, and the Forest Empire is one of them)

The more we talked, the more speculative we became, and we gradually fell behind the line. I certainly raised my concerns in due course, such as the profile of the orcs and their Aries people.
