Crocodile meat, spider sausage, angry water pufferfish, wild dog meat, wild boar ham, Kodomon barbecue...... At the banquet, when plates of delicacies were served, Gianna was undoubtedly dumbfounded. She was tempted to ask—isn't there no vegetarian diet in the orc's recipe, it's all meat? But because of such a solemn scene, Gianna still held back, and elegantly cut the pieces of meat with a knife and fork, and elegantly put them into her mouth.

The taste is naturally inferior to human cuisine, and in human society, all kinds of cuisine need rich seasonings. But in orc societies, their food is basically only one spice - salt.

Other than that, there is no other spice. Some pieces of meat are even medium-rare, and even cut with a knife, and you can see blood flowing out, which is disgusting for humans, but for orcs, medium-rare is the real delicacy. Of course, in order to take care of the visiting guests, Sal still ordered the chef to cook the food on Gianna and Ares' plates until they were medium-rare.

Especially the plate of Kodomon barbecue, for a moment, Ares seemed to return to the feeling of eating steak in a Western restaurant. It's just that the Kodomon barbecue doesn't have black pepper juice, it's just a pure charcoal roast. But the quality of the meat is absolutely impressive.

"Friend, since I'm here this time, I'll stay in Orgrimado for a few days, and I'll show you our city, it's definitely the pride of the orcs. Yes, you were here last time, but you didn't get to see the city in its entirety. This time, let me be your guide. ”

After a few glasses of liquor and fat, Thrall began to enthusiastically invite Ares, Gianna, and Egwene to stay and visit their great city. This confidence and openness surprised both Ares and Gianna. This shows that the orcs don't care if their opponents look at their city, meaning that even if you look at the whole city and want to attack it one day, you can't go into it. The tribe is willing to keep peace with the alliance, more for development and survival. Gianna instantly understood what Sal meant. But neither side said anything to each other, and peace was the main theme of today's feast.

"Thank you for the invitation, Sal."

Looking at Ares' eyes, Gianna readily agreed. Of course, Ares, Gianna, and Egwene knew it in their hearts. Deciding to stay and visit the orc city is not as simple as touring, but also has a deeper purpose - to find Varian. Yes, this original purpose has always haunted everyone's mind, it is the original purpose of Ares and Darein who crossed the ocean to Karimdor, even after experiencing the war with the orcs and the war with the Angela Zerg, this original intention has not been forgotten.

……

Actually entering the city of orcs is not a spectacular word.

Humble shacks were built on the steep red cliffs, countless suspension bridges spanned both sides of the valley, forming a complex and huge transportation network of the orcs, and tall tribal gates rose from the ground to the top of the mountain.

Walking on the avenue of Orgrimmar, you can see groups of orc children running freely and freely, before they grow up, they are no different from human children, except for the two fangs that show their lips, this scene makes Gianna suddenly feel a little emotional.

Once the city of Lordaeron was like this, full of life, free, enthusiastic, and unrestrained, it was the element of the city, and now, although Orgrimmar is an orc city, it has the same characteristics.

During the three-day journey, Ares was able to see a panoramic view of the city, and when Sal took Ares and Gianna to the highest point of the city to look down on the city, the grandeur and grandeur could not be described in words.

It's almost a three-dimensional metropolis, teeming with orc houses and buildings from the bottom of the valley to the top of the mountain. It's a hundred times grander than what you see in the game. The lift has a drop of 100 meters, a height of 30 or 40 floors. It takes at least ten minutes to get from the bottom to the top, and halfway through, you can see the whole city shrinking and shrinking in front of you, and below you is a dense cluster of urban buildings. But when you reach the top of the mountain, you will see a different scene, which is like a small city. A city built on top of a hill, a city within a city. The top and bottom of the mountain, halfway up the mountain, the trinity, make up this magnificent tribal main city.

At sunset, sporadic goblin airships come and go over the city, transporting goods or people of all ethnic groups, fighting the unique romance of the nation.

Ares didn't know what it would be like to go to Stormwind one day, but the sight in front of him was already shocking. In Azeroth, you will feel small all the time. A small town in the game may be a big city with thousands of mansions, just like the endless dense human buildings seen in Tyre's hand and in Gilneth.

"Friend, just looking at this you probably won't be able to understand our culture, the culture of the orcs. Yes, it is incomparably bright, and in no way inferior to your human culture. If I could, I would like to show you around our arena. It was a huge building filled with blood-soaked beasts and one of the main places of amusement for my people. ”

Sal said, his eyes glazed over. Maybe it's remembering his arena years. Perhaps, it is just out of remembrance of the glory of his ancestors.

But one way or another, Ares agreed to his invitation again. Although Gianna wasn't so happy, she didn't want to see the killing and gore again. But Thrall was gracious, like a vast empire showing off its power to the foreigners.

Gladiatorial fighting is a very important tradition in orc culture. In fact, in the primitive tribal form, the orcs often settled disputes not by persuading each other, but by beating each other with fists.

When society developed, this primitive fighting culture became an arena culture. And the people in the arena have also changed from free orc warriors to prisoners, beasts, foreign prisoners of war, and all the prey they can catch and prepare for execution, so that the prey to be slaughtered in the arena is a bloody battle that every orc is happy to see. This activity is loved by every orc, whether it is an adult, a child, an elderly person or a woman.
