Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Visit to Orc City
Back on the ship, all three let out a long breath. For the first time, Diess was depressed by his mistakes and carelessness, and Victim comforted him softly.
Neil couldn't understand what the two were talking about, and stood aside slightly embarrassed and nervous, vaguely worried about whether they would end their trip to Earth.
After a while, Dies's mood calmed down a little, and he turned his seat to Neil and said, "I was indeed a little careless when I came to Kunlun this time, and even you were frightened, I'm sorry." Neil waved his hand repeatedly, please don't mind.
Dice thought for a moment, then said, "Neil, I once heard you relayed what Schimer told you about the Drowin people on Earth, and I also asked you if you knew what they were doing to create people, do you remember?" Neil said he remembered.
Dis said: "In the short journey just now, you have also seen all kinds of prehistoric monsters and orcs with different physical characteristics and intelligence levels. In fact, on the earth in ancient times, orcs used to spread throughout Eurasia, not limited to the Kunlun Heights. Among them, the majority are minotaurs, horseheads, and serpents. In addition to the main reason for obtaining labor, the reason why the Dzorkin wanted to create humans at that time was to use you humans as a tool to defend against these orcs. Neil was a little surprised by this, and he didn't know what Diess was referring to.
"Neer, you must know that these orcs with advanced intelligence perished on the earth after the Great Flood, but before that Flood, they were the masters of Eurasia in a sense. They possess strong physiques and brilliant minds, and for thousands of years, they have also multiplied and developed from generation to generation, and have competed for spheres of influence with the latecomers of the Dzorkins, who, due to their sparse population, were temporarily helpless until they fully emerged. Neil suddenly remembered the Minotaur and the Glexen that Schimer had taken him to spy on, and although they were only two small scenes, the scene was unforgettable.
He asked Dis if the bulls and snake people also belonged to the category of prehistoric orcs, and Dees nodded and said, "That's right, I'm referring to these orcs." Not long after the Drogin arrived on Earth, as their tentacles probed the outside world, they inevitably came into contact with these savage and intelligent orcs. In the process of dealing with these land snakes, the Dzorkin people almost encountered accidents several times, and their situation at that time must be difficult to say. It wasn't until later, when they came up with a plan to create humanity, that the situation slowly improved. Neil was puzzled: "Why did the condition of the Dzorkin improve after the creation of man?" Dees said coldly, "Because they traded you humans for these orcs." Neil was silent.
Dyce knew that he was still confused in his heart, and he said to Neil: "Neil, language is pale after all, this period of human history is not only Schimer, even I don't want to describe it in detail to you. Why don't I take you to East Asia in prehistoric times, so that you can see with your own eyes what kind of world it is. The spacecraft took off again and flew eastward, and in an instant it came to the Yellow River valley in China.
Neil looked down from the window and saw a large river rushing with a large area of verdant green on both sides of the river.
Neil's sight was familiar, as Schimer had brought him here before, but Neil's current time was a few hundred years after he first saw the Bull Man and the Snake Man, and by that time, the Drowin had been living on Earth for a long time.
Diess landed the ship on a sandbar by the river. Before exiting the pod, Dis took out a long-handled, flat-headed machine and scanned Neil's body from top to bottom, and Neil was surprised to find that he had disappeared.
He saw Dyce whisper a few words to Victim, who smiled and shook his head, and then Dyce also shone himself with a long-handled machine, and he disappeared into thin air.
Neil was shocked, only to hear Dies's voice echo in the spaceship: "Neil, we are now in the territory of the Orcs of the Plains, in order to prevent unnecessary trouble, this time we need to be invisible. The light that has just shone on you and me has blocked out the visible spectrum from the eyes of the creatures of the solar system, so the earthlings, orcs, and dorgins can no longer see us, but I can still see you. I tied an unexposed strip of red cloth to my foot, and you can tell where I am if you see it. Viktim will stay on board for a moment, and I'll take you into a city ruled by orcs, so you must keep my feet on me, and don't get lost. And I want to warn you that the conditions of prehistoric orc cities may not be what you expected, and you will meet your kind, but their conditions may be different from what you originally thought; You may also witness some unexpected scenes, but in any case, you must remain calm and especially not make loud noises, which is the only thing I ask of you. Neil nodded yes quickly, and at the same time his heart was pounding, he was really curious about what kind of scene was so exaggerated by Dies.
Neil looked down, and sure enough, he saw a small strip of red cloth on the ground. The hatch of the spaceship opened automatically, and Victim waved his hand at Neil, who saw the red cloth strip in front of him jump out of the cabin, and hurriedly followed after a few steps.
Dees and Neil walked along the river, only to hear rustling footsteps. Dees walked in front, his pace bracing and the strip of cloth kept jumping in front of Neil, who did his best to keep up with him.
After walking for a short time, a golden wheat field appeared in front of me, and the ears of wheat were full and low in the sun, and it was obvious that it was harvest season, and the air was filled with the smell of ripe wheat, which made people feel comfortable.
Dess took Neil through the ridge carefully, and Neil saw in the field ragged ancient humans bending over and holding stone knives and clay sickles harvesting wheat, but for some reason there was no joy of harvest on their faces, but rather a sad look.
As they continued on, they saw a large clearing next to the wheat field, where many humans knelt on their knees, placing the harvested ears on stone slabs and crushing them with small stones in their hands, which Neil guessed was a method of extracting wheat flour from ancient humans.
Suddenly, Neil saw several bull-headed monsters standing in the distance behind the toiling crowd, some of them talking loudly, some of them watching the people work with serious faces.
It was a strange sight, and Neil remembered the scene where Schimer had taken him to teach humans to grow grain, which fit perfectly with the scene at hand.
As he passed the toiling humans, Dees slowed down, and Neil knew it was to keep the others from noticing, so he was careful not to make any noise.
One of the minotaurs twitched his nostrils and sniffed suspiciously in the direction of Dis and Neil, thinking that he had noticed something strange in the air, but his eyes could not see the two infiltrating aliens, so he had to give up.
Neil and Dees walked out of the wheat field and went on a little further, until the sun had set, and at last they came to the location of what appeared to be a city-state.
Ahead, a tall wall surrounded the city, and in the distance a huge gate stood majestically, and Neil looked forward with a pergola in his hand, and vaguely saw two huge beasts sitting on either side of the gate, one on the left and one on the right.
Walking nearby, Neil saw that there were still two orcs, one with a bull's head and the other with a horse's face.
The two orcs were tall and covered in metal armor, looking very imposing. two
The "men" each held a long-handled battle axe in their hands and sat in two large armchairs on either side of the city gate. The gate was open, but no one came in or out, and the two orcs guarding the gate seemed to be bored, half-lying and half-sitting in their chairs.
Neil was amazed to see that there were orcs guarding the gates of the city in a grand manner, and suddenly he seemed to have arrived in the Middle-earth described by Tolkien.
Just as he was in a trance, he suddenly felt someone tugging at the placket of his clothes, and at the same time, he saw a strip of cloth jumping under his feet out of the corner of his eye.
