Aking up in this cold little cave, Izzy had slept unsoundly last night, not only because of the cold, but also because of some strange whispering sound, which echoed in Izzy's mind in the middle of the night, making it impossible for him to sleep at all, he couldn't understand the meaning of those whispers, but he could really feel a certain palpitation.

At this time, Ich, who was fully conscious, was terrified.

"You won't be polluted by some evil Elder God, will you?" whispered directly in his mind, which was clearly a symptom of the spiritual pollution of the Elder God in the game.

Frightened, Izzy suddenly noticed that there was a light in the dark cavern: "What's going on?"

Reacting, Izzy looked around to see where the light was coming from.

"What is this?"

The source of the light came from two places, one was the spiral mark on his right arm that shone orange, and the other was emitted from the palm of Kargas's hand, in which the triangular mark symbolizing the slave flashed intermittently white.

Looking at the flickering white mark, Izzy jumped up like a burning butt and came to his senses: "This slave's mark is not just a symbolic meaning!

Izzy reached out and tried to push Kargas awake, only to find that he was trembling, and his pale face became even paler, as if he had lost the color of blood that it should have.

Izzy knew that Calgas was sick, and that there was no scientific medical treatment for illness in this world, and that the treatment of illness mainly relied on shamanic spells and herbs, and if there was no cure, it was common for a flu to wipe out a clan.

"I need to bring him back to the clan as soon as possible!" Whether it is the abnormality of the slave mark or the illness of Kargas, it can only be solved by returning to the tribe. ”

Izzy immediately dragged Kargas out of the cave, and as soon as he got out of the cave, he quickly lay down and hid in the grass, and about a hundred meters away, he actually saw those ogres!

"The mark of the slave has drawn them here!" Izzy instantly understood the function of this sad mark, and he dragged Kargas towards the mound to the right of the cave, which was at least a dead end in sight, and the ogre could not see them.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Izzy's brain was running at full speed, and he was sweating profusely as he was anxious.

Returning to the tribe from here, it usually takes half an hour to be alone, and at least twice as long as to carry Kargas, when the ogre has already caught up with them and eats them as a snack.

"It's impossible to carry Kargas past an ogre, and Izzy knows that very well, do you want to abandon him?"

The thought immediately came to mind: "One thing, one thing, Kargas saved my life last night, I can't be ungrateful." ”

Izzy, who was in a desperate situation, slowly gave birth to a trace of despair in his heart, and suddenly a muffled snort sounded next to him, Calgas woke up, he looked around in confusion, and immediately heard the voice of the ogre in the distance, and his face instantly changed from pale to a layer of dead ash, and Kargas judged the situation.

"Izzy, run on your own. Kargas, who was crying with a sad face, suddenly whispered.

When Izzy heard this, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and he grinned at Kargas.

"Kargas, we're all going to be fine, trust me, don't make a noise here, I'll wait to lure those ogres away, and then I'll come back and take you to the tribe for treatment. ”

When Kargas heard this, he instantly bit his lip: "Don't, brother, I owe you enough, thank you, Izzy!

Izzy immediately laughed: "Kargas, don't make it look like life and death, I am sure that I say this, yes! If I take you with me, I will definitely not be able to escape, but let me go on my territory, to lure away a few stupid ogres, is there anything easier than this? You just need to hold on until I come back, haha!"

After hearing this, the desperate Kargas felt that it made a lot of sense, and his weeping face immediately rekindled hope: "Izzy, I can know a friend like you in my life, and I will die without regrets!"

Izzy smiled, and immediately dragged Kargas back into the cave, turning away without hesitation.

Leaning low, Izzy slowly approached the woods next to the ogre, and he saw one of the ogres holding a rune stone with runes like the slave sigil on it, flickering at a certain frequency.

It turns out that that thing is the treasure that they locate the position of the slave, the magical world is simply not scientific at all, looking at the feeling of the treasure, they should not be able to accurately locate the location of Kargas, probably the closer to Kargas, the faster the frequency of the rune stone flickering.

Thinking that Izzy had already entered the woods, he shouted, "Hey, fool!"

The one-eyed demons in the search heard Izzy's insults, and immediately roared and rushed over, they were like a few monsters, not too thick trees, all of them were easily knocked around, but those trees also played a certain role in delaying a certain extent, and Izzy relied on his familiarity with the environment, from time to time to make several ogres more and more angry.

The ogre, enraged by the taunts, finally rushed out of the woods, but the little orcs who taunted them were gone, and the stupid ogre was puzzled, and in the distance in the fallen hollow trunk, Izzy covered his mouth and snickered, then took the potion and smeared it on himself, and returned to the woods through another hole in the hollow trunk.

Izzy even made a simple stretcher out of twigs and rattan, and after leaving for only a quarter of an hour, he managed to return to the cave where Kargas was hiding.

Kargas was relieved to see that it was him who had returned, and then Kargas was also smeared with a foul-smelling potion, and was dragged to the stretcher by Izzy with his teeth bared, and they began to move in the direction of the Fireblade clan.

On the way, Kargas was able to recover a little, and in Izzy's opinion, his steely willpower played a key role in preventing Kargas from going into shock directly from illness and injury.

As if to divert his attention, Kargas suddenly asked, "Izzy, why do you want to save a dead slave like us?"

When Izzy heard this, he immediately felt a pang of guilt, his dedication was purposeful, but now he could only talk nonsense.

"In the battle at the gate of the clan that day, I said that I saw the last look in your eyes, the eyes of infinite yearning for freedom, and I thought that such an orc should not be a slave, and then my head was hot and wanted to help you. ”

After a moment of silence, Kargas choked up a little and said: "Thank you, it's too light, I don't know how to express my gratitude, Izzy! I swear that as long as I live, you will always be my benefactor!"

Izzy was silent, and the more he listened, the more uncomfortable it became, but fortunately they had reached the gates of the Fireblade Clan.

Something wasn't right in the clan, and as soon as he returned, Izzy had the feeling that it was so noisy that it was like a group fight.

Izzy hurriedly patted the gate, and the guard who opened the gate, Izzy, knew that it was a warrior named Rykul, who could be regarded as a neighbor of Izzy and their family.

The scene that Rekul saw when he opened the door made his small brain a little overwhelmed, his neighbor's strange boy, dragging a stretcher, on the stretcher was a scarred young pale orc, he decided to inform the strange boy's father first.

Izzy and Kargas waited outside the door, and after a while, they saw several orcs running over, and Izzy saw Yushuro and Artur, as well as the strange orc walking with hooves behind Yushuro. , He also saw the anger in his orc father's eyes, it was a familiar look, when he was in trouble on Earth, his father's eyes were exactly the same as this look, which made Izzy feel inexplicably comfortable and afraid.

"Stinky boy, you're too bold, you disappeared all night, and you actually ran out of the clan to get into trouble?" A slap on the back of Izzy's head, obviously not much strength, Yushuro roared angrily.

Izzy was still very experienced with this situation, bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and slowly recounted the situation of last night.

The more I listened to a few orcs, the more surprised I became, and finally the four stunned orcs stood at the gate of the clan, not knowing what to say.

"Shhh

After reading it, he heard an angry roar, and the old orc, with an unusually agile skill, slapped Itzy in the face, and even threw it a meter away.

"You stupid, you have brought a scourge to the clan, and you don't know it!" Seeing such an angry Shaman for the first time, Izzy was also a little beaten up.

"We've got to take this kid away, take it as far away as possible!" Before Izzy could react, he heard Yushuro's cold words.

Izzy realized that they were talking about Kargas, and he immediately roared in a rage that bordered on rage:

"I brought him back from birth and death, and you are going to send him back? You dare to fight the army of ogres, but you dare not shelter a fellow orc who seeks freedom?"

Artur Shaman snorted angrily: "You stupid, you don't understand anything, it's just because of yesterday's battle, our clan has been preparing to leave Havalo for decades in the past few days and take refuge in the hidden camp in the Talador Forest, at this time, you brought back a slave with the mark of tracking slaves, do you know what it means?"

Izzy was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that the Fireblade Clan was not as powerful as he thought, and the nature of orcs would not yield at will, but it also did not mean that they were not afraid of the retribution of the powerful Goryea Empire.

Izzy said stiffly, "Wouldn't it be enough to lift this slave mark? Even if he doesn't want that hand, Kagas is better than going back to that nightmarish life of slavery!"

Yushuro couldn't help it, and he angrily punched Izzy in the face, knocking the slender beast fang on the left side of his child directly to the ground.

Izzy had never been in such pain, but he still spit out with blood and saliva, and the sound of "Phew!" was very distinctive.

"You know what a fart! The slave's mark is an ogre's rune spell, which can be easily lifted, so why bother casting spells? Even if you cut off this child's hand, you can't guarantee that he won't lead the army of ogres to our clan, and then all the men, women, and children in our clan will become slaves with this child?"

Yushuro's questioning directly left Izzy speechless and depressed, and Izzy asked himself:

"Am I working in vain? Is everything destined to be unchangeable? Even if a guy like me works hard, will he still follow a fixed trajectory in the end without wavering?"

Kargas, who had not spoken at this time, suddenly spoke calmly: "Izzy, it's okay, don't be embarrassed, let me go, I can't threaten your home and relatives because of my own desires." ”

Hearing this, Izzy turned his head to look at Kargas, and looked at the young orc's scarred face, but with a sincere smile, and his heart was full of pain, and the great unwillingness and guilt filled his chest like a tidal wave, making him breathless.

Yushuro and the young orcs had already begun to lift the stretcher and prepare to carry Kargas away, and Izzy knew that they would take him far away from the clan camp and leave him to fend for himself, when Izzy suddenly knelt at the feet of the priest of Artur and said in a loud voice:

"Elder Artur, at least let him eat another full meal and treat his illness, after all, we are all fellow orcs, we can't watch him being swallowed by wild beasts, and we can't save him from death!"

Artur Shaman looked at the little guy in front of him, sighed and said to Yushuro's apprentice: "Rantreso, go and get some food from my tent for this child, I will cast a spell now to see if I can dispel the disease on his body." ”

Yushuro's apprentice immediately took the command and ran into the tribe, while Shaman Artur began to cast healing spells.

"O great spirit of the ancestors, please heal this poor child's sickness. Izzy sensed a presence, and then saw that Kargas's wounds began to heal, and his face gradually returned to normal, he was shocked by the magic of shamanic spells, and almost in a few minutes, a young orc, although emaciated, but intact, got up from the stretcher by himself, and Kargas shook his hands in surprise.

Artur Shaman's old body stood unsteadily and shook, and there was a mouthful of gasping for breath, Izzy hurriedly supported Elder Artur, he knew that Elder Artur also had his own guilt in his heart, so he tried his best to cast the recovery spell, which made him look so weak.

However, after a while, Yushuro's Sword Master apprentice returned and handed over a bag of food and water to Kargas, and to Izzy's surprise, he actually untied a small hand axe from his waist and gave it to Kargas, knowing that iron tools are very precious in the clan, and such an axe can be exchanged for meat for several days.

Kargas nodded gratefully to the Sword Saint apprentice, moved his body, felt that he was in better shape than ever, and said to Izzy, "Don't worry, Izzy, as long as we are alive, we will definitely see you again in the future." With that, he strode out of the clan gate without looking back.

The scorching midday sun, and the fierce winds of the Nagrand steppes, the resolute back of the walking on the boundless grasslands, made Izzy extremely sure that they would meet again one day.
