Instead of staying in the chief's tent, the Witch Doctor of Sarota left just in time to return to his village after traveling several kilometers on a wolf.

The orcs have a very simple ruling structure, and the people under the chieftain have few titles, and the power is divided according to the chief's trust, and the powerful lieutenants, heirs, or witch doctors and shamans such as Sarota may each rule one or more villages, which is somewhat similar to the feudal system of human lords.

Returning to his village at this time, Sarota's panicked expression had long since disappeared, and his figure straightened, and after entering the tent, he casually placed the wooden staff on a special delicate wooden rack, and then changed into a fine linen robe made by humans, and put on boots that most orcs would not wear.

Sitting in front of and behind a slightly rudimentary wooden table, the robed Salotta is no different from an anthropologist except for the fact that his facial features can prove that he is an orc.

The decoration of the Sarota tent is very different from that of Chief Rohar - although it is also a circular space, the most present here are books.

The orc writing is far less complicated and has a long history than that of humans, and very few orcs can write books, so a large part of the books here are written in human Bringa - as for the source, it naturally has something to do with the duke's son...

"Lord Sarota, your student asks to see you. ”

Shortly after he sat down, the servant's voice came from outside the tent, and Sarota, who was picking up a piece of straw sandpaper, raised his head and motioned for the other to come in—the orc who entered the tent was not very old but strong, but unlike other orcs, he did not have the aggression that orcs generally possessed, but on the contrary, there was a similar cunning to Sarota.

"Teacher. ”

The orc stepped over to Sarota's wooden table, bowed in greeting, and spoke with a restrained expression and a respectful expression.

"Heh, I've only been back for a few minutes... Looks like you're very concerned about my next plans?"

Rubbing the dice made of bone joints unconsciously with his fingertips, he could see that Sarota did not regard the "student" in front of him as an outsider, and there was no pretense in his state at this time.

The humble student lowered his head and whispered, "Every time I think of what the teacher said to me, I think... If such a plan succeeds, this kingdom of chaos... Maybe there's hope for unity, so I'm really looking forward to it..."

"Oh, it's too early to say that. Sarota casually rolled the voodoo dice, thought for a moment, and then whispered: "Now should be considered the best result, the chief has once again assigned me a team of seventy men, plus Xhosa, a team of hundreds of wolf cavalry, which is enough to be fearless of all the blows on the human frontier." ”

"Teacher, Xhossa-"

"Xhosa won't miss a beat. Sarota shook her head, "Don't worry about him, only warriors who have failed in the past can be truly cautious in doing things." There would be no danger to their ranks, and when the scouts saw him, they had no choice but to flee. ”

The young orc nodded his head to be taught, then thought about it and asked, "Teacher, I still can't figure out why the team that went to intercept and kill that nobleman would... Failed?"

Sarota's eyelids were slightly raised, but there was no look of annoyance, although it was a failed operation, but when he said it, he did not make any argument for himself in front of the students:

"Heh, there's not so much reason for that. I didn't expect all my plans to be disrupted by a scout team halfway through, how could there be such a difficult scout in Finks Village? I don't know, but what I do know is that next time, I won't give the other party room to maneuver. ”

The witch doctor's words were strong and confident, and it was clear that the dead orcs could not shake his determination and will.

"The territory of Ivta will gradually fall into chaos under our attack, and the next thing to do is to seize this opportunity..."

"Teacher, didn't that human count say that he would--"

"He's not always as reliable as he thought he would. Sarota waved his hand, and could see that he was not satisfied with the cooperation with Francis, "We are different from humans after all, for them, cooperation is always temporary, that short-sighted guy can even sell his relatives for power... Come to think of it, it's really sad for humanity. ”

"When the rainy season is over, we'll start building new outposts again. My students, we're going to get rid of the humans and avenge the warriors of our tribe, and when the time comes, follow me. ”

Hearing this, the young orc looked up excitedly, apparently understanding that Sarota had already recognized his abilities - among the orc tribes, such recognition meant that Sarota had decided to pass on the profession of "witch doctor" to the young apprentice.

As if having seen those bright prospects, Sarota's most proud student bowed his head deeply and said loudly:

"Student Zoro... Always follow in your footsteps!"

.....................

After the heavy rain is over, the air always smells fresh and fresh.

In a mild but not hot climate, Nolan Village seems to always be this tranquil attitude. Since August, caravans have been coming and going from these villages, sometimes with eight or nine horses, loaded with all sorts of goods, and stopping in the villages to sell things that the peasants and commoners find rare.

The merchants also played a role in conveying information, sometimes with bards performing or singing ballads, winning applause and copper coins, and sometimes telling of recent gossip about the kingdom - such as the duke's wife Hongxing was out of the wall, and the lord threw gloves at whom to duel.

During this time, Roddy relied on a few copper plates in exchange for news about Sally. Doesn't sound good, not bad: Francis's ugly face is not noticed by the commoners, and he still wanders between the various banquets, and Sally is still safely in the convent.

There is a stalemate for the time being, which is good news for Roddy.

There are a lot of things to do in Roddy's heart, but there are priorities, at this time, while the rainy season is not over, it is a good opportunity to eliminate the threat of the orcs as much as possible, Roddy naturally will not think about how to deal with the housework of the Rusiflon family first, what he is doing now is to beat the orcs to hurt and fear - with a team of less than thirty people, let the other party fall into more intense civil strife, so as to weaken its strength.

And the rest of the plans, he has already sorted out on parchment, there are business, politics, connections, he wrote everything he can think of, just waiting to implement them one by one.

The materials for bow-making and forging had been prepared for a long time, but Roddy didn't immediately start making new weapons because of a question about "skill levels"...

The main reason is still the level of the item: the equipment made by Roddy can only be below his own level. Just like the "Ranger Suit", although the attribute is fierce, it is level 4 after all, and if it is level 6 or 8, the bonus may be half more. So after thinking about it for a long time, he decided to postpone the date of making a new bow, and when his upgrade trip was over, it would be more cost-effective to directly make a higher-level bow.

And these days, when he remodeled the leather armor of all the soldiers in the team and strengthened it with various high-grade materials, he also found something different from the past - when the materials used were a little more complicated, the steps that could be completed by "system assistance" in the past became extremely difficult.

The "Ranger Suit" was fine for a purely mono-material piece, but when he made the leather armor finely processed and strengthened, he found that many of the steps could not be completed at the first time, and even some parts could barely be completed after seventeen or eighteen attempts.

At this time, there will be a prompt in the status bar that "the current leather level is not enough", which makes him upset.
