Chapter 59: Muto's Tears
When Muto woke up here, he found the warm sunlight gently caressing his face through the dappled leaves, and Muto smiled, he had not been bathed in the sun for a long time, and he had not seen the clear blue sky and continuous white clouds for a long time.
Although he didn't know why he was so drunk at the banquet, he didn't want to think about it, the task he had on his shoulders was completed, the long-term fatigue and running stopped, and he was about to return to his hometown and return to his tribe.
Muto staggered to his feet, rubbing his unawakened eyes with the back of his hand, and the hazy scene in front of him gradually became clear----- human beings, many human beings.
"Monster, monster......" a woman let out a piercing scream.
The sound of fright increased, and the woman and the child fled in a hurry, and the man in the prime of life surrounded Muto, cautiously approaching, and looked at him with seven parts fear and three parts curiosity.
Run away, hurry away, Muto was at a loss for what to do in front of him, he didn't understand that he who was drunk at the wine banquet with Mr. K, he would appear on the streets of the human race, and he didn't even have a hood to cover up, he was horrified, he had to flee from here, get out of this place of right and wrong, he was exposed, the soldiers in the city would soon hear about it, and he who was caught in the kingdom of mankind might be sent to the gallows without trial.
Muto spread his legs, ran desperately, through the streets and alleys, and turned countless corners, Muto's eyes knew this place, this was the Great Rock City, the castle of the Count of Noamun, he had to find the Count of Noamun, let him break away from the soldiers of the city, where only he could shelter him.
Even if the orc is very thin, he is an orc after all, and his abundant physical strength is definitely comparable to that of humans. But Muto could definitely feel the numbness in his muscles, they had not yet woken up from the effect of the anesthetic, and Muto felt more and more weak after running for a while, and it was his keen brain that detected a trace of disobedience, and he was drugged.
Who was the drugged man? Who was the one who had dinner with me? Who was the one who toasted with me? The answer was obvious----- Mr. K, the profit-hungry businessman, everything was a lie, and he had suffered a shameful betrayal.
Muto fell, he could no longer run, tears overflowed from his eyes, he climbed mountains, crossed obstacles, escaped from countless dangers, only to prove himself, to bring food back to his tribe, to gain the approval of his people, to make them accept him, to replace the vicious ridicule with cheers.
"Father, I'm sorry. This was Muto's last remorse before his arrest.
Muto returned to the dark prison, though there was a small window in the cell, through which rays of sunlight shone in his teary eyes, and he curled up on the cold floor of the dungeon.
Who's crying?
The robin said: "It's Muto, an orc, a poor child. He whimpered and sobbed in his cell in Boulder, tears drenching the icy ground.
"My lord, we caught an orc from the city. Edgar panicked into Count Noamon's study, which now belonged to Julian.
"Orcs?" Yurien froze, looking stunned.
"What are orcs? Are they some kind of strange beasts? Are the beasts in the mountains and forests still not satisfied with trampling the crops of the village, and run into the city again?"
Seeing his lord's leisurely appearance, Ed hurriedly explained: "My lord, what are you talking about? Orcs are orcs, beasts with hideous faces and fangs. ”
"Isn't that a beast?"
"My lord, it's not like this, orcs are upright beasts, but they are not beasts......." caught the orcs in the city for a while, and even Edgar, who is usually calm and composed, will inevitably panic. For they had not been seen for centuries since Emperor Joffrey the Great had driven them out into the western wilderness, and now they had reappeared before the eyes of the world, and in the deep belly of the empire of the South.
"Sebas. Julian looked at Edgar, who was sweating profusely, handed him a glass of water, and motioned for him to stop talking.
"Young master, the orcs are the monsters you saw in fairy tale books when you were a child, the barbaric race that was driven out of the western wilderness by Emperor Joffrey the Great in the early days of the empire. Sebas explained in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
.....
The air was stagnant for a while, and the needle drop could be heard. After a while, Julian's study remembered Julian's strange cry of shock, "Ahh.......h
Julian looked dumbfounded, and after he vented his consternation, he jumped up from his seat, and kept walking back and forth in a panic, he needed a little time to digest this incredible news, if this matter was not handled well, I am afraid that it would alarm the big people in the imperial capital.
"Edgar, where did you find him?"
"I received a report from a citizen, and I hastily sent troops to arrest him, and now I am holding him in a cell. ”
"How can there be orcs in Boulder City....... It's too sensational to be true. Edgar, are you sure you're not mistaken? It can't be that the beasts of the mountains are lost. ”
"My lord, I am not completely sure of this kind of thing, how dare I tell you. At first, I couldn't believe it was an orc, but after several rounds of scrutiny and judgment, I came up with this sensational fact. ”
"Go, take me to see this orc, I'll have to check it with my own eyes. ”
Under Edgar's guidance, the group hurried to the cell of Boulder City, where Edgar sent people to strictly control it.
Julian looked through the crack in the bars of the cell for a long time before he slowly said, "It's really an orc."
