There weren't many words carved into the bones, but Al read it slowly, slowly, as if he had exhausted all his strength and finally read the last word, and the exertion felt like he had just participated in a fierce fight, physically and mentally exhausted. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The elder took great care to put the bones back into the box, covered them with fur, and motioned for Grouch to bury the box again.

"Carving the history of the orcs in their lives on the bones is the most important and sacred mission of the orc elders, and this mission has been passed down from generation to generation, and each generation of elders has worked diligently and dare not slack off in the slightest. A race that forgets history cannot make history. The elder said meaningfully as he watched Grouch bury the box in the ground and cover it with a stone slab to disguise it.

Al was speechless, and Medea, who had a disdainful face just now, also closed her mouth and had nothing to say.

After being stunned for a while, Al bowed deeply to the elder, "You are an orc elder and can represent the orcs. However, I am not capable of representing the entire human race, so I can only express my sincere apologies to the orcs in my own name. ”

Vidum snorted: "In your own name, what's the use? Write an apology and think about it? The suffering and humiliation that we orcs have endured must be paid in blood." ”

Medea didn't know why, uncharacteristically arrogant and tough, she raised an eyebrow, "Blood debt and blood payment, haven't you killed enough people from the West? I don't mind letting you go again without returning." ”

Vidum roared angrily, his eyes were about to erupt with fire, and he picked up the giant axe he carried with him with one hand and wanted to fight Medea desperately, if it weren't for the scruples of the elders and Grouchy present, he would have had a seizure on the spot.

"You damned humans, you really don't have any remorse at all, I just hate that humans haven't killed too much, and one day, every drop of orc blood shed will cost a hundred human lives. ”

"Stop. Al and the Elder shouted at the same time, finally stopping the two of them from rattling, but both of them stared at each other viciously, as if they were eager to bite off two pieces of flesh from each other's bodies.

Al turned to face Vidum, who was so small compared to his massive body, but he stood there as steady as a mountain, his straight back not weak.

"Do you mean that the orcs will still invade the West when there is a chance in the future?"

"What is aggression, this is the punishment that you humans deserve, this is what humans owe us orcs, you have forgotten your crimes, we orcs can only use our own hands and clenched weapons to seek justice, to seize the place that was originally our place. Undum did not give up, looking down on the El from above, and the fire that filled the heart and soul was about to burn the humans in front of him to ashes.

Al turned to face the Elder, his eyes, which had been a little confused, returned to their former clarity, and his gray eyes were still as strong and persistent as iron.

"As I said, I sincerely apologize to the orcs. If I can repay a little orc, I can bow and apologize to each orc. ”

"The ancestors of the orcs wrote in the record: I hope that someone will know and remember this terrible tragedy and unspeakable sin. I promise that I will remember this history to the death. ”

"I can't do it now, but I will do my best to make this dusty history public, so that more people can understand and study it. ”

"I will also devote all my efforts to de-prejudicate people against orcs and prevent tragedy from happening again. ”

"I can do my best to help, to make amends, to repay the orcs, for I am also a member of the human race, and the sins of my ancestors have been passed down from my blood to this day. ”

"But this does not mean that orcs invade humans, and it is natural and justified to kill humans. ”

"Because our ancestors committed crimes against orcs, orcs can inflict violence and maim lives on innocent people at will? ”

"Although it is a beast, as long as it retains its human heart, it is still a human being, but if even the mind degenerates into a beast, then it will completely become a beast. ”

"The so-called orcs are beasts on the outside, but human in their hearts. I think that's what your ancestors meant by their names. ”

"There is nothing more despicable in the world to commit evil atrocities in the name of justice, and evil is evil, and the essence of sin will not change no matter how beautiful the slogan or the most noble reason is. It's like a black pigment dripping into water, and no matter how much water is mixed to dilute it, the black in the purity will never be eliminated. ”

Al bowed to the elder again, pulled out the iron sword at his waist, held it to his chest, and said categorically.

"I confess that there is a great deal of scum among the human race, who have committed many unforgivable sins, not only against the orcs, but also against many humans. ”

"These sins are so ugly, so dark, that they are enough to make all creatures who know feel pessimistic about humanity, despair of humanity, and feel that humanity is hopeless again. ”

"But I want to tell you, to all orcs, that I have seen hell on earth, and I have experienced the hopelessness of mourning more than death. But I've also been lucky enough to have met some wonderful people and seen some good things, so I still have hope for humanity. ”

"Sincere friendship, fiery love, warm affection, kind mercy, equal kindness, and unwavering justice ......"

"I can always see that these qualities in some people shine like diamonds, not the only one of the sacred, not the exclusive of the noble, not the exclusive of the powerful, but many, ordinary, everywhere ordinary people occasionally shine brightly, they have countless shortcomings, and often make some mistakes, but they still live hard, live really, and love those who are loved are also loved. ”

"I'm one of them, and there are people or things that I have to protect. So, if the orcs still invade, then I wouldn't hesitate to draw my sword against it, as it was at the time of Snow Fortress, and it is still the same. ”

"This is a will that I have never changed and will never change. ”

The elder quietly looked at Al who was holding the iron sword, his slightly cloudy gaze seemed to be a little surprised and a little confused.

"Little one, put down your sword, you said that there is still merit in human beings, at least in you, I see a little. ”

He let out a long sigh of surprise, not knowing whether he was asking himself or others: "I can't figure out whether this person is good or bad." ”

Al put away his iron sword and asked rhetorically, "Are the orcs good or bad?"

Human nature is good?

Human nature is evil?

Human nature is a choice of self.
