Chapter 174: First Contact with the Aborigines
It turns out that as long as a person is happy, he can be happy like a fool wherever he is.
Ever since Durontan had two children, he either giggled and hugged the children every day, or went out hunting, and although Izzy wanted him to be more cautious, Durontan looked silly, but his hunting skills were really strong, and it turned out that hunting had a lot in common in both Draenor and Azeroth.
The prey that Durotan brought back included snakes, crocodiles, monitor lizards, giant sturgeons, velociraptors, and other creatures, and Draenor also had animals that felt the same way.
After all, Izzy can also understand Durontan's mood when he has just become a father and wants to feed his daughter-in-law, of course, the main reason is that Durotan hunts too much, and Draka can't finish it, so the excess can only be used as military rations.
When they left Draenor and entered Azeroth, they didn't actually carry much food and grass, only a month's supply, and Izzy had planned to be self-sufficient before he came, he believed in the adaptability and hunting skills of these elite warriors, and the rest of the food was naturally reserved for the orcs who still remained in Draenor.
With the orc warriors of the three warbands leaving Draenor, plus the grain and grass that Draenor had originally stored, it was enough for the people who stayed behind to eat Draeno for one to two years, which was still the result of Izzy's conservative estimate, and if the people over there controlled the grain and grass, it should be no problem for three years at most.
In fact, Izzy is not prepared to starve his people, and he plans to connect the two worlds within half a year, so that those who remain can leave the dying world of Draenor.
Speaking of which, the fact that Durotan will have two children makes Izzy finally understand one thing, that is, this world is definitely not the World of Warcraft in the official history, it may be one of the worlds of the countless timeline worlds of Warcraft, it may also be a parallel world, and of course, it may also be because of his own butterfly effect that leads to such a result.
Izzy wasn't sure that it was that possibility, he judged that the first two choices were more likely, after all, he couldn't wear it, what did it matter if someone had a child?
But those things don't matter now, and the top priority is to get on your feet as soon as possible and find a way to gather enough supplies and energy to open the portal.
Izzy led a group of elite scouts towards the direction of the north with his homemade compass, and to be honest, the excitement of Izzy as he walked through the portal to the real Azeroth made him feel [High!] to the extreme.
But when he actually arrived in Azeroth, the situation was not what Izzy had imagined, and Izzy had expected to see a barren and cursed land, but in fact he saw a dangerous swamp, and this world was not the game world he had played before.
It has to be said that Azeroth is a magical world, where there are many kinds of animals and swamps are full of dangers, but these are nothing to the orcs, the orc race is like humanoids with wild animal muscle tissue, powerful and intelligent.
Sadly, all humanoid species are destroyers of nature almost everywhere they go, and Izzy can't deny that, but he won't stop the orcs from hunting the swamp's wildlife for the sake of survival.
In addition, the density of arcane energy floating in the air of this world is extremely high, and Izzy has noticed this when he has come to this world, and he even has the illusion that every breath is inhaling arcane energy.
However, there are pros and cons to everything, and Izzy's arcane abilities are enhanced, but the abilities of elemental spells seem to be completely sealed.
In the past, Izzy thought that he was mobilizing his own power as an elemental spirit, but after coming to this world, Izzy realized that he was very wrong, the elementals mobilized more of the power of the world itself, and this world rejected himself as a strange outsider, and also made all the shamans of the tribe lose the ability to cast spells, so if you want to restore the shaman's elemental spell ability, you must first obtain the approval of Azeroth.
Izzy began to summarize his goals, the first thing to do was to build a camp, collect food, and gain a foothold, which they had already done almost enough, although the swamp environment was indeed not very friendly, but Izzy was able to create a dry area by digging ditches to dredge muddy water, and with the abundance of animals here as food, the problem of food would not be worrying in a short time.
The second step is to build a portal, find a high-intensity energy source, and at the same time find a way to contact humans, to be honest, for the energy side of the portal, there are still quite a lot of targets in this world that Izzy can choose.
Izzy thought of a few artifacts in his memory, the Book of Medivan, the Eye of Dalaran, and the Scepter of Sargeras, which led to the destruction of Draenor in the canonical history, and now it is a chance for the orcs to survive, and if he can, Izzy even wants to get the Blue Dragon's artifact Focus Rainbow, which is also a good target.
The question now, though, is how to get the location of these artifacts, and how to "borrow" them in a friendly way.
In fact, Izzy knew the location of the artifact, through the memory of past cheating, he knew that the Book of Medivan was in the kingdom of Alterac, and the Eye of Dalaran was in Dalaran, the only problem was the Scepter of Sargeras, this artifact was in the tomb of Sargeras, and Izzy could not determine the specific location in the sea except that the tomb of Sargeras was on Broken Beach.
To be honest, thinking of this, Izzy was a little hesitant, it was a little too tricky to get these three artifacts, maybe it might be faster to spend time collecting a large number of energy crystals, of course, Izzy was still ready to try it, if he could "borrow" it, then naturally why not?
Finally, it's about contact with humans, Izzy has thought that if they want to see humans, they have a long way to go, and the dark swamp is the cursed place in the game, so they have to go through the sad swamp, the upwind trail, and reach the twilight forest before they have the hope of seeing humans, and the nearest human kingdom is undoubtedly the famous Stormwind Kingdom.
Izzy thought about it for a while, and decided to postpone contact with humans, and wait until several of their warbands were fully established, and then it would be okay to make contact, as a leader, Izzy would never put the hope of the survival of the orc race on the benevolence of other races, he believed that equality sometimes had to be fought for by force, especially between countries.
Calmly thinking, Izzy suddenly caught something in his sight, and immediately showed a surprised expression.
"Eh! guinea pig!!"
Izzy discovers a species native to Azeroth, a rat that lives in the swamps, and this guinea pig has delicious flesh, and they feed on the stalk diameter of a certain fragrant plant, which also causes their own flesh to become very fragrant.
The guinea pig looked so smooth and brilliant that it was so beautiful that Izzy had already decided to hold on to it and stewed it.
Taking the bow and arrow from the back, bending the bow and shooting arrows is almost a skill that the orcs must learn, in the past, Izzy didn't use it on the battlefield because his bow and arrow skills were not in place, and it was good to hunt, but the gap in the armor for accurate shooting was not as good for him as a lava blast to blow the enemy away.
Gently pull the bowstring until it is full, Izzy was just about to release the arrow, when he heard a strong loose string sound, a long arrow came first, the bowstring resounded through the forest, and the prey died on the spot, Izzy immediately aimed the bow and arrow at the source of the long arrow, and immediately found a figure hidden in the tree.
It was a green-skinned monster with two large fangs that were different from those of orcs, and even moss on its skin.
Izzy almost immediately recognized the other party's race, it was definitely a troll, and Izzy, who recognized this fact, could hardly believe his own judgment, he should not have seen a troll in such a place, although the black swamp was close to the Valley of Thorns, there should be a towering mountain between them.
Thinking of this, it suddenly dawned on Izzy that he was still taking it for granted, and that the barriers of the mountains were not absolute, and for determined travelers, it was more like a passage for their daily travel.
Thinking of this, Izzy's ears caught a rough string pulling, and the forest troll obviously noticed the actions of Izzy and the others, and without hesitation, he pulled the bowstring and pointed at Izzy.
Ichi thought for a moment, slowly retracted his bow, put the bow and arrows on the ground, motioned for the others not to act rashly, and slowly approached the troll with his hands raised.
The forest troll obviously hadn't let his guard down, Izzy thought about how to show kindness, he walked towards the killed guinea pig, the forest troll also noticed Izzy's move, but he didn't act rashly, Izzy was overwhelmed, and the troll knew in his heart that if he released the arrow, at most he would kill Izzy alone, and then he would be killed by Izzy's angry companions.
Izzy's movements were slow but firm, he wasn't afraid of the trolls letting go of the arrows, with his own reaction, he was able to easily dodge this attack, he grabbed the guinea pig and walked towards the troll, threw the guinea pig to him, made an inviting gesture, and retreated, Izzy tried his best to express his kindness, the troll naturally understood this, but he still didn't relax, Izzy beckoned, and led people away from him slowly, only to finally let him relax his vigilance.
The troll folded his bow and climbed down the tree, picking up his prey with a puzzled look on his face, thinking to himself who they were, such a tall race, he had never seen or heard of them.
"Hello" (orc) A sudden voice sounded behind the troll, and the troll hurriedly pulled up the bowstring, but in a flash, he felt that the bow and arrow in his hand disappeared without a trace.
Then the troll saw Izzy behind him, and was just about to pull out the dagger, but in another moment, his hand was empty, and the dagger at his waist was gone.
The troll looked at Izzy more closely, and then realized that his weapons were in Izzy's hands, and it was only at this moment that the troll finally understood that he had no resistance in front of this strange figure in front of him.
He roars angrily, "Give it back to me!" (Troll)
Izzy didn't understand, but he guessed what he meant by his expression, and threw the bow and arrow and the dagger to him, and the troll picked up the dagger and immediately pulled it out, and then the dagger disappeared again.
Izzy pinched the blade of the dagger and threw it to him once more, making it clear to the troll in front of him that any resistance was futile.
The troll didn't make any more moves this time, he felt very helpless in his heart, the guy on the other side didn't even let himself do it with a vigilant posture, it was unreasonable!
Izzy smiled, pointed to himself, and said, "Orc, I'm an orc!"
