Chapter Twenty-Six: Joining the Adventure Party
Orcs have a long history, even dating back 10,000 years. In comparison, the current master of the Sauron continent...... Terran, but the history of thousands of years seems too thin. But too much time has passed, and the orcs have long since lost most of their heritage. Except for the history full of tragedy and blood and tears handed down thousands of years ago, in the hundred years when humans seized the domination of the continent, no one still remembers the glory of the past.
Baroque browsed a large number of parchment scrolls, ranging from the collection of the Priestly Presbyterians in the Valley of Miracles to the ancient texts collected by the Adritic Empire that Bucred had given him. Although he is now arguably the most knowledgeable scholar of the history of orcs, he is still limited to the history of orcs when they were overthrown by humans. Even a hundred years ago, it was a blank slate, as if the orcs had appeared out of thin air and ruled the continent of Sauron out of thin air.
This is not normal, Baroque is well aware. He subconsciously thought of the cursed orc script [Sochi script]! No one of the entire continent could recognize this kind of script, and even if they learned it, they would soon be forgotten from their minds. This is a great conspiracy, a conspiracy laid down by the so-called gods that mankind believes. Not only overthrew the rule of the orcs, but also destroyed their history, erased their heritage, and degenerated this once glorious race into the vulgar and barbaric of beasts.
Whenever I think of this, Baroque shuddes from the bottom of my heart. Because he felt too powerless, the power of the so-called gods who could do all this was too powerful and terrifying. On his own. Nothing can be changed. Since the decisive battle with the Light Envoy Lapon Moore and the exposure of the purple power in his body, he deliberately chose to disappear. Deliberately concealing one's identity and wandering around the mainland is a temptation. Examine whether the god in the dark is powerful and omnipotent, whether he can find his traces, and whether he will send down more powerful oracles...... Even the gods came to purge him. ―――――― Baroque had the whims of using purple electricity to quantify a purple halo net at the moment when the god of light caused Lapon Moore to burst and incinerate. A large number of white flames that had not yet been completely incinerated and faded were encompassed, all of which were compressed into balls of light, stored in the soul sea, and slowly tried to devour. Wrapped in a dragon swirl of purple power, the white flames are not afraid to cause damage. But that is undoubtedly the divine power of the gods, and I don't know if the gods will perceive it.
More than three months passed, and Baroque was slightly relieved. Because even the Apocalypse Holy See didn't have any unusual behavior. Nor did he feel anything to be wary of. I can't hold it at one time. He sneaked into the Holy See branch of a certain country at night, grabbed the top clergy of the branch hall, and tortured them, learning that most of their energy was turned to the alliance of dragons and elves, as well as the giant clan in the east of the continent. It seems that the Holy See is no longer worried about the trouble caused by the orcs, and even thinks that when the dragons and elves are solved, they will send some troops at will. will be able to drive the orcs back to the barren northern tundra.
At first, the Baroque even thought it was a smoke bomb from the Holy See - their god had died. How can one be indifferent? Isn't it fearful that the angel will be slain while the enemy is still alive?
The bishop of the temple, who could not stand the mental devastation, gave an answer that surprised and excited Baroque............ The Holy See had already performed the descent ceremony and elected a new oracle.
Now that the Holy See has elected a new oracle, no one cares about the disappearance of the old emissary, Laponmore. Then it is clear that the so-called gods are not as omnipotent and omniscient as they think, they do not know the secrets of the Baroque, and even think that Lapon Moore killed the Baroque, and then because it was the last time he used his divine powers, he eventually died and his body dissipated.
The situation was not as bad as expected, but it allowed Baroque to try out something. At least the God of Light can only send down oracles, or divine power to some specially selected so-called oracles, and he can't feel whether anyone has taken away any of his power. And he himself should not be able to reach the continent of Sauron.
If only the gods couldn't come, the Baroque suddenly became much more relaxed. He was confident in his own strength, and as long as he wasn't a god, even if it was an oracle, he had enough information to defeat him. It can even be said that although he is still unknown in the entire continent at this time, his strength is already difficult to match.
Hiding for several months, Baroque originally wanted to return to the Horde. Came to the Duchy of Hanseasa on a temporary basis, although he knew that there was no longer any possibility between him and Susan, but after all, he was the mother of his eldest son Norrero. Even if it is to be at ease in the face of his son's inquiries in the future, he can't watch Susan go crazy for the rest of his life.
Before going to the Grand Duke's Palace, Baroque was just going to a tavern to drink to fill his belly, and accidentally overheard the conversation of several adventurers, and learned that the ruins had been found in the Gravel Wasteland, which aroused his great interest. After rushing to the Grand Duke's Mansion and quietly healing Susan's damaged spiritual sea, he left immediately. Following Rak's breath, he tracked down the five adventurers.
Rak's Frost Wolf body was completely destroyed by the divine envoy Lapon Moore, and no matter how much life water there was, it could not be recovered. However, Rak has already become a totem beast, and his flesh is a shackle to him, and this time the frost giant wolf's body is finished, and Rak simply exists in the state of a totem spirit beast. Because they enjoy the power of the orc faith together, they are attached to Baroque on weekdays, and they can wander around alone if necessary. Luck and Baroque are in a similar spirit, and the two of them are not afraid of being separated from each other.
In a hilly area in the northern part of the Duchy of Hanseas, Baroque found Lac. This guy still can't change his playful nature, and he scares the five adventurers who came to capture and help the little beasts that enter the ruins. Hiding on the hill full of holes, he cowered and didn't dare to come out.
Baroque shook his head and recalled Rak, and when the huge blue wolf light and shadow wandering in the air dissipated, the adventurers led by Tim dared to tentatively come out, and immediately saw Baroque's figure.
"Hey, that man, don't you want to live anymore?there's a giant wolf undead wandering here, be careful if you're late and be devoured by him, run for your life!" a certain adventurer shouted in a low voice. Baroque recognized him as the guy named Hagen in the tavern, and he didn't think that he looked rude and dirty, and he didn't have a bad heart.
Baroque hides his face, and the illusion mask transforms into the most ordinary face of a middle-aged man. Walk towards the adventurer. I laughed in my heart, but I said in my mouth: "That giant wolf undead went north, there seems to be a group of wild deer roaming in the north, they attract the attention of the undead, you should get out of here quickly!" It's just that the appearance of the totem beast Rak is too weird, so the adventurers mistakenly think it is an undead, but ............ Speaking of which, Rak's essence really bears some resemblance to the undead of a soul body.
The five adventurers were overjoyed and panicked out of the hole in the hill, and the sooner they could get out of here. Baroque saw each of them holding a cloth bag containing several living creatures, still struggling, sometimes making 'squeak' sounds. This is probably the little beast they want to use to help the pathfinder.
"Thank you, brother. Tym, the leader of the adventurers, thanked Baroque. Baroque was also dressed as an adventurer, and asked curiously, "Why did you come here, what are you doing with those little beasts?" he pointed to the cloth bag.
"Oh...... We, haha, we're catching and playing. The children at home like [Qilin Gophers], so they catch some and give them back to play. Tim snorted and said.
Baroque shook his head, "Brother, I was kind enough to help you get out of the danger of the undead, and that's how you deceived me? We adventurers still have families? And children? With these, we are not adventurers...... Who would leave their home and children behind and go out and live a life of outlaw adventure? You have secrets, you can not tell them, but you can't lie to me. ”
Baroque shook his head, pretended to be unhappy, turned away, and said without looking back: "The adventurer wants to catch the Chilin gophers, just because they want these gophers to help them find their way. The only thing that needs to be explored recently is the one that was suddenly discovered in the Gravel Wasteland, isn't it?It's no secret, I'm here to catch the Chilling Gophers, so why should you lie to people? Baroque rambling casually.
"Boss Tem, didn't you say that only you know the secret of the Chilin Gopher's pathfinder?
Tym glared at Hagen and turned to Baroque and shouted, "I'm sorry, brother, we did lie to you. Now that you know we're going on an expedition to the newly discovered ruins of the Gravel Wastes, ...... Why don't we talk about it?" The five-person adventure team is still too weak, but the strength of the junior Fighting Spirit Warrior of Tai is also limited, and it is a barbarian from the Duchy of Dalintan, so it is difficult to find help. He found that Baroque seemed to be in good shape, and maybe he could try to recruit it!
"What are you talking about? I'm going to catch the Chilin gophers. Baroque pretended to be impatient, but stopped anyway.
"So, since you said you were also going to explore the Gravel Wastes, we were also going there. You see, we already have more than a dozen Chilin gophers, why don't we join forces and find the treasure and divide it equally among all of us?" said Tym.
"There are many of you, I will be myself, if you find a treasure, what if you are ready to swallow it alone and kill me?" Baroque asked hesitantly, pretending to be moved
"How about we swear an oath to the god of light and make a pact to keep each other safe?" Tim said. In the Continent of Sauron, if you solemnly swear a contract in the name of the God of Light, you will never break it.
"Okay. Baroque agreed, and they immediately swore to each other in the name of the god of light. Smoothly, Tem's adventure team has one more member, of course, no one will know that the Illuminati contract can bind anyone, but not Baroque, a unique orc. (To be continued.) )
