Chapter Seventy-One: The Orc Girl
Ruan Chi knew that nothing could comfort Jim by saying anything now, so when he came to Jim's side, Ruan Chi chose to be silent.
His eyes fell on the immature face of the little ghost, Ruan Chi let out a sigh, if he hadn't met Deep Blue, Ruan Chi might have regarded this as a plot of a mission, and he would not have set off a trace of waves in his heart.
But Ruan Chi now knows that everyone who dies here is a fresh life, not an NPC in the game, which can be refreshed after death.
"It had to be them, they had to kill Punk." Jim's voice came suddenly, his eyes bloodshot, and his fingers clenched into the soft flesh of his palm.
"Them?"
"Those hateful hunters in the neighboring countries, they are the ones who kill punks." Jim's expression was hideous.
"**? Ruan Chi remembered that there was indeed such a thing, although the ** of the three major calamities, although it was not as good as the mysterious disease and the fog of war, but in terms of the ugly nature, this ** was more than enough.
"Why are they so sure?"
"The left thumb of the corpse."
"Thumb?"
Ruan Chi was stunned for a moment, his eyes fell on Howard's corpse, and he saw that the thumb of the corpse's left hand had obviously been cut off by a sharp weapon. I didn't pay attention just now, Ruan Chi just appeared, not only Howard's corpse, but even Punk's corpse, as well as the corpse of the wanderer lying here, all the thumbs of his left hand were cut off.
"These bastards take pleasure in killing for their own selfish desires, and for the convenience of counting the number of people, they cut off their thumbs every time they kill someone." Jim said hatefully, "I want revenge, I want revenge for everyone!" ”
Jim snorted to his feet and turned to walk in one direction.
Ruan Chi didn't hold him, but just said lightly, "You just go like this, regardless of your brother?" ”
Jim stopped in shock, motionless, and for a moment, as if he had lost all his strength, he turned around weakly.
Jim returns to Punk's side and carefully picks up Punk's corpse like a porcelain doll.
Ruan Chi rubbed his eyebrows, and then walked over to help lift Howard's body up.
After the two of them dug all the bodies and buried them, the sky was completely dark. Under the dim light of the bonfire, simple tombstones were erected on this desolate land.
Jim knelt in front of Punk's grave expressionlessly, there was not a single tear in his eyes, not that he was not sad, but he was too sad, and the tears had long since dried up.
Ruan Chi sat on the side and sorted out his backpack, and suddenly said, "Although you are very sad, but if we can, we will do our best, otherwise Betty may not be able to save it." ”
This sentence fell into Jim's ears, making his whole person feel like he had been struck by lightning, and he asked in a trembling voice for a while: "Ruan Chi, what did you just say?" You said...... Is Betty still alive? ”
"Didn't you notice? When we dug the pit and buried the body, we didn't see Betty's body. Ruan Chi said lightly.
Jim's pupils dilated slightly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he sat in a daze, and the look in his eyes didn't know whether it was joy or sadness, "Yes, Betty's body is not there, she is still alive." ”
"It's strange to say, why did so many people die, and those people let Betty go? And took her captive? Ruan Chi said to himself beside him.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Chi's unintentional words immediately made Jim stand up again, and his expression became extremely anxious, "Oh no, let's go and save Betty, otherwise Betty will be in danger." ”
"In danger?"
"I know which hunters didn't kill Betty, because, because...... Betty is a half-orc! ”
"Orcs?"
……
At this time, ten miles away, there was a makeshift barracks here, and the entire barracks was lit up at this time, and groups of well-equipped soldiers patrolled back and forth, guarding Senran.
Since yesterday's separate hunt, Count Argento has not found a colony of wanderers, and occasionally encounters a few unlucky people who have left the colony.
Today, I managed to find a large camp of wanderers, and finally managed to regain some results.
In the main tent, a soldier came in with a sack of blood, then untied it and poured its contents in front of Count Argento.
It was bloody fingers.
The adjutant next to him, David, counted and reported respectfully: "Dear Earl, there are a total of 1o3 fingers here, counting yesterday's record, Lord Earl has already captured 145 wanderers, temporarily leading Prince Musiuk by 22 people. ”
"Haha, good, very good." Count Argento patted his thigh with satisfaction, and at the same time reached out and grabbed a finger in front of him, and sighed: "It's a pity, if it weren't for the fact that human heads are not easy to carry, I would have preferred that all the human heads placed here would be bloody, and I would be even happier to see the distorted faces of these low-level wanderers." ”
The corners of David's mouth twitched, although he was not surprised by his master's preferences, but every time he saw the distorted expression on Count Argento's face, he would always involuntarily shiver.
"By the way, did the little girl who was captured today be verified?" Count Argento asked suddenly.
"I've looked for someone to see it, it's indeed a half-orc, it seems to be a hybrid of the cat clan and the human race, and about 2o% of the body shows bestial characteristics." David said respectfully.
"Really?" Count Argento was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly put down his bloody finger, took a handkerchief from the golden beauty next to him, and said excitedly while wiping off the blood stains, "Quick, bring it over to me to see, I haven't seen this kind of orc for many years, I really want to see what it looks like." ”
David answered, and immediately gave the order to go down, and soon, an iron cage was moved in by several soldiers, and when it was lowered, there was a clanging sound.
Count Argento looked excited, walked quickly to the front of the iron cage and squatted down, only to see a ragged girl curled up inside.
The girl is Betty, but her appearance is slightly different from usual, and her clothes are torn in many places, revealing fair skin. In particular, the hem of the skirt was torn off, the two calves were exposed to the air, and even the buttocks could be faintly visible.
But the main attraction is not these, but a flaxen strip at the back of the hip, about a meter long, a bit like a feline tail.
and Betty's head, the silk scarf she usually wrapped is missing, revealing two furry ears that are about the same color as her head, which also look like cat ears.
And because of fear, the two ears were pulled down, as if they were shaking with the body.
"It's really a half-orc, haha, it's really rare, it is estimated that if you take it back and sell it, this price can be worth a mansion." Count Argento licked his lips, reached out and grabbed the cat's tail and stroked it back and forth with his hand, causing the girl inside to tremble even more, and tears oozed from her empty eyes.
"Looking at her almost 15 or 6 years old, it's a miracle to be able to live in a Jedi like the Forgotten Nation until now, but the curse of half-blood is also on her, her eyes are born with defects, and she can't see anything." David said from the side.
"Blind?" Count Argento stretched out his hand and shook Betty's eyes a few times, and said with a half-loud smile: "What does it matter, it's okay to have a place on your body that can be used by men, the half-orcs of the cat clan and the human race, just taking it out is enough to save face." ”
