Chapter XXXVII

"What's your name?", after listening to Al's analysis, Grouchy realized that he had underestimated the little man in front of him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info this guy's precise grasp of the orc's personality made him fearful and more cautious.

This guy is the enemy of the orcs!" Grouch secretly judged in his heart.

Al saw the wariness and vigilance in the orc's eyes. He knew he was startling, but he couldn't let the orc keep treating him like a child, and the conversation wouldn't last. And he didn't want to use torture, which would hardly work against the fierce orcs.

The first step is to put both sides on an equal footing and let the dialogue continue. This was Al's first strategy.

Al shook his head, "I know that among the orcs you have to ask for fur in exchange for the same ration, and you have to prepare the corresponding animal bones to polish your weapons. ”

"You have to give what you want to get, don't you?"

Grouchy hesitated, "It's nothing to let him know the name." He comforted himself.

"Grouchy, my name is Grouchy. What about you?"

"Al Edward. You can call me Al. We are humans, orcs, and we still have a lot of topics of interest, so we can talk about them more. ”

Now that the conversation has been opened, Grouch is embarrassed to continue pretending to be cold, so he can only deal with Al patiently. The two sides talked about the climate of the snowfields from the weather in the west, and then talked about the landscape of the cedar forest, and the food of humans and orcs, anyway, the topic was always swirling around these useless and boring topics, making people drowsy.

Just when the two sides talked about the weather in the west for the fifth time, Grouch finally couldn't hold his breath and asked the question that had been held in his mind for a long time: Did the orcs besieging the Snow Fortress finally retreat.

Al was noncommittal when he heard this, so he bypassed the topic with a haha, and began to talk about whether the winter wolf meat tasted good or not, and it seemed that he had become a Warcraft gourmet.

Grouch patiently spoke with Al again, but he never received a clear answer, and in a fit of rage, he simply closed his eyes again, refusing to say a word.

Al was not in a hurry when he saw it, and after talking to himself again, he turned around and prepared to leave. As he left, there were a few words of conversation he had with the jailer.

"My lord, what to do with that orc?"

"Just be a slave. Just ...... with those orcs."

The latter words were vaguely inaudible, and Grouch sighed helplessly. He could guess that this was the nasty man's trick, but he was very concerned about what happened to the rest of the orcs.

Before El came, no human had ever spoken to him in the middle of a word, and if he missed this human, he didn't know how long it would take to solve his doubts.

"Be careful, don't say what you shouldn't," thought Grouchy.

After some mental preparation, he leaned over the railing and shouted, "Al, wait a minute, I have something to say to you." ”

As he expected, the abominable human was soon back in front of the cage, a false smile on his face that Grouchy wanted to punch him.

"I ask one question, you ask another question, and so on. Grouchy made a request.

Al shook his head, "I'm done asking, you ask again." ”

Grouch glared at Al angrily, "It's not fair!"

Al shrugged, "I can just walk away, after all, I'm just interested, can you?" ”

"Fairness is based on equality, and inequality can only be unfair. Al said meaningfully.

Now that the orc has spoken, he won't keep his mouth shut. It is necessary to slowly wear out his patience like a boiling eagle, and then seize the initiative of the words. This is Al's second strategy.

Grouchy bit his cheek tightly, and the beast in the orc veins roared to tear the boy in front of him to shreds. But he still endured it, and any irrational action at this time was self-inflicted.

Because he was only a prisoner, just a weakling.

The weak can only have angry emotions, but they cannot have the behavior to vent anger. Such behavior is praised by the strong as a pleasure and revenge, and the weak are ridiculed as self-sufficient.

Grouchy gasped and finally agreed to Al's request. People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, and the world is so helpless. But the arrogant orcs don't bother to deceive Al by making up lies. If you don't want to answer, don't say it, he thought.

"First question, are there any humans or aliens living in your tribe?"

Al's first question came as a surprise to Grouchy, and he pondered for a long time before answering in the affirmative, "No." ”

Al sighed, how exactly the dark mages created and controlled the puppets had always been a mystery. The idea of the dark mages lurking among their prey, subtly brainwashing them, was directly shattered by Grouchy's answer. At least until now, there is no sign of a dark mage among the orcs.

"Second question, what is your status in the orc tribe?"

"The successor of the elders, the next elders. Grouchy replied quickly, the identity was meaningless now, and even if humans knew, there would be nothing.

"The third question, why were the orcs able to attack immediately after the beast tide? Did you use the food stored in the tribe? Is there still enough food in the orc tribe?"

Al, who had already guessed about this, this series of questions hit the nail on the head, and in the face of Al's aggressive questions, Grouchy could only remain silent. Still, Al guessed something.

The orc tribe doesn't have enough to eat. And this is fatal on the snowy fields.

"Maybe this year the orc race will disappear in the long river of history. Ai turned around happily and left, this time he was really leaving, not coming back.

"Wait a minute, you haven't answered my question yet. Grouchy asked loudly, clutching the railing.

Al looked back with a wicked smile on his face.

"I'm sorry, dear Grouchy, I'm in a bit of a hurry, let's talk next time, it's really a pleasure to talk to you. ”

Only then did Grushi, who knew that he had been tricked, was so angry that he could no longer care about forbearance and reason, and opened his mouth to scold: "You human beings are all liars and scum, animals with no integrity, no shame, and no honor, and sooner or later they will perish in the punishment of the Father and Mother Earth." ”

"Honesty, ridiculous, what kind of integrity do we have to talk about in front of you orc robbers, and what honor do you have when you invade others and kill coldly. Orcs, orcs, you only have beasts, no one. It seems to me that your Heavenly Father and Mother are ready to destroy you. ”

Who would he be afraid of than the poisonous tongue El, he deliberately intensified the contradiction, and his words made Grouch angry. "Radical strategy", a psychological tactic that has been tried and tested many times throughout the ages, this is Al's third strategy.

Of course, the angry scolding was hearty, and the depression in El Yishu's chest for many days could be regarded as a bad breath for the defenders of the Snow Fortress.

"We orcs are not robbers, we just take what we deserve! this is the sin you humans have committed against us orcs!", Grouch said in a secret, in a fit of rage.

Al paused, "The sins of humanity?"
