Chapter 105: The Trek
"It's here. The group followed Owen for a few days, and finally came to a place full of broken walls, Owen pointed to the front.
Kane stepped forward to take a look, and saw that this was the foot of a mountain, and looking along these remnant walls, he could vaguely see them leading to the other side of the mountain shadow, thinking that this wall should have been the border wall of Voss City before it was torn down, and it was not difficult to imagine the tragedy of this war from the current appearance, although it may have been carefully cleaned afterwards, but there was still a bloody atmosphere here.
Leah stepped forward and grabbed a handful of dirt, tears glistening in her eyes, it was here that his father had left him forever, followed by his grandfather and uncle, whose blood had been spilled on the ground beneath the feet of several people.
Seeing this, Kane, James and the others all walked over with solemn faces, and bowed deeply to these dilapidated walls, not only for the Marquis of Brynn's family, but also for every Imperial warrior who died here, whether they were idiots or scoundrels before, but at this moment, they are all worthy of respect.
"Is this the realm of orcs and ghosts?" asked Kane, turning to Owen.
"Yes, to be precise, this is also their territory, and a few adults only need to keep walking to meet the tribe of the orcs, but it is best not to go directly in front of the city of Vos, where the orcs have a fortress. ”
Kane nodded, frowned and didn't speak, as if thinking about something, James came over and patted him on the shoulder, Kane sighed and nodded slightly, Bert saw this and drew his saber and crossed Owen's neck.
Owen's face turned pale with fright, and he immediately understood the intentions of several people, and knelt down with a puff, "Few... Adults, I'm just an ordinary little person, I will definitely not pose any threat to you, please let me go!"
No one spoke, Kane was still frowning, the current situation was obvious, if Owen was asked after he went back, then as long as he described the situation of a few people, it would not be difficult for those people to guess who they were, although they could not grasp their specific whereabouts, but knowing that they were bound to go to the beast realm, God knows what kind of trouble they would encounter in the future.
But as Owen said, he is just an ordinary person who doesn't know anything, and several people have no hatred with him, but it is because of his help that he can come here, and it is indeed a little impossible to kill such a helpless person.
"Let me go, let me go, as long as I can spare me from dying, I am willing to be a slave of several adults!" Owen's words became more and more urgent, but Bert was indifferent, as long as Kane gave the order, he would immediately make the blood in his throat gush out.
Kane sighed, took out a bag of gold coins and threw it to Owen, "Let him go, I'm sure he understands his situation." ”
"Lord Xie, Lord Xie, don't worry, I will definitely hide far away, and I will definitely not cause trouble to a few adults!" Owen hurriedly cursed and swore an oath.
Kane waved his hand, Bert slowly removed the sword, and Owen picked up the money bag on the ground and ran to the woods with his life.
"Do you know the consequences of that?" James looked at Kane.
Kane nodded, "What should come is always coming, we will meet many people in the future, we can't kill them all, the way to keep us safe is to improve our own strength, not to gag others, in the end, although we are on the run, but after all, unlike robbers and bandits, if we kill him, our conscience will be disturbed." ”
After speaking, he looked at the Pentani and the others, "It's up to you to see how many of them are next, and it's up to you to decide whether we can send you back safely." ”
Bretani nodded, and Kane took out a face towel to wrap his head, and the group set foot on a strange land.
The scope of this battle was much larger than a few people imagined, and a radius of several kilometers was almost a dead place where not a single grass was born, and not even a single living thing could be seen even for a long distance.
This time, it was Bretani who led the way, no one spoke, a few people looked at the unfamiliar vegetation around them, some worry and curiosity, Betani had said before that they were brought out blindfolded after being caught, so now they can only judge the direction by feeling, and their intuition tells Kane that they may have to go a long way.
After a few days, several people had penetrated into the hills, and the distribution of the surrounding woods gradually decreased, replaced by bare hills and boulders, and scattered orcs gradually began to appear on the road, most of them avoided them after seeing a few people, and some came up curiously to ask, Bretani took off the veil but immediately won their favor, and just found an excuse to get away with it.
Kane was a little curious about this, and later learned that the fox clan is a relatively rare race in the beast race, and it is also a popular race, mainly because it is rich in beautiful women, and everyone wants to be close to them.
Bretany's words were filled with calmness, even pride, that she had never felt before, but as if it was a matter of course, and those people didn't feel the slightest bit wrong, but were very glad to have met her, and Bretani didn't know how many invitations she had received along the way.
Kane smiled helplessly, the charm of women is the same everywhere, it seems that it is right not to embarrass a few people before, if it weren't for their help, I'm afraid it would not be possible to go so easily now.
Bretani's words gradually began to increase, along the way with his meager knowledge to a few people to roughly introduce the customs and customs here, the troll girl in the back was obviously still immersed in the grief of her sister's death, not a word was confided along the way, but another fox woman and rabbit woman would say a few words from time to time that they didn't understand.
At this time, Mark will immediately stand up and translate for a few people, Kane probably listened to a few words and was not interested, most of what they said was known in books, what fox is the smartest businessman here, the talent of the rabbit is in the cooking of food, and so on, at first glance it will make people feel novel, in fact, it is also the most superficial.
A few people were walking, but they saw the troll girl stop, her eyes looking straight at the hill in front of her.
"What's wrong?" Bretani asked in the language of the beast.
The troll girl named Nasha burst into tears and whispered.
Mark hurriedly translated, "She said this is her hometown. ”
Kane looked around, but didn't see any tribal buildings, "Are you sure?"
Mark helped translate, and the girl nodded, pointing to the hills in the distance and saying a few words.
"He said their tribe was just behind that hill, she grew up here, she was familiar with it, uh... She said she even smelled her mother's body. ”
Kane was a little stunned, seeing that this place was only a few kilometers away from the hill, and the smell of her mother was strong enough, so she nodded and asked a few people if they wanted to go to this troll tribe to have a look.
Mark said with some concern: "The trolls are not a friendly race, they are more of a race of strength and war, and it is inevitable that they will be asked about the other girl after they go, I am afraid that we will not be able to give a satisfactory answer, I think we should not go and cause trouble." ”
Kane nodded, and said to Nasha, "Then from this moment on, you are free, go back to your mother, may your ancestors bless you from encountering such things in the future." ”
Mark followed the translation, and saw Nasha bow deeply to the others with tears in her eyes before slowly walking towards the hill, her eyes full of sadness.
Kane said to Bethany, "Let's keep walking, how far is this from your tribe?"
Bretani smiled, "I think it's not far away, we were together a long time ago when we came, so the place where we were arrested should not be far away." ”
Several people were a little happy to hear the news, obviously fed up with such a long journey.
"And where is your house, lovely Dora?" asked Kane.
Dora is the name of the rabbit girl, she is only ten years old this year, even among the rabbit tribe belongs to the level of children, after hearing Mark's translation, she looked around for a while, and shook her head slightly, obviously not knowing how far this place is from her home.
Kane nodded in understanding, after all, it was indeed difficult for a ten-year-old girl to know such a long way.
As the group continued on their way, Kane said to Bretani, "Now that you're in your realm, I think we should be honest, I heard Mark say that the fox girl next to you called you Miss all the way, I want to know what your identity is in the clan?"
Betani hesitated for a moment before saying, "My mother is the current patriarch, and I may take her place in many years' time, and Jenny and the other two girls who were captured are my maids-in-waiting. ”
Jenny is the name of another fox girl, several people were stunned when they heard her say that, obviously they didn't expect her to have such a high status, Kane was a little strange, "Maid, do you mean that your tribe also has a system like the human world?"
Betani shook her head, "Handmaiden is your human name, and I say this just to make it easier for you to understand, we are all called sisters here." ”
Kane nodded, but there was some doubt in his heart, these orc women were just props given to him by a man in black according to Bill, it can be said that they were completely randomly selected a few victims, is it possible that there are people with such identities in this? Or is everything just a coincidence, then will the luck of his own people be too good.
After walking like this for another two days, the group was tired and hot, although Kane's injuries were no longer serious, but he was also dazzled, the climate here seemed to be completely different from there, and the heat and cold were a little unbearable.
"It's here!" Suddenly Bretani interrupted everyone's thoughts with a cry of surprise.
"Is it finally here?" Kane looked forward and saw a lush forest not far away, and several people sat on the ground one after another, seemingly unable to walk even if they hadn't arrived.
