Chapter Twenty-Six: The Ice Crystal Rose
Early the next morning, the old village chief sent several boxes of ointment and instructed Mondo to be safely delivered to Boulder Village. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The blacksmith Tak brought a delicate long wooden box with a red lacquer on the surface.
"What's in it, and who are you going to give it to?" asked Mondo suspiciously, the box was a little sassy by orc standards.
"Boy, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, you just have to give it to Aunt Rena from Boulder Village. Remember, you can only give it to her by your own hands. ”
"Auntie?" said Mondo, who shook his head firmly with even more suspicion in his eyes, "If I don't see the real thing, I can't guarantee that I will give the gift to Auntie in its entirety." ”
Tark thought for a moment, then suddenly bared his fangs and said fiercely, "Boy, you must not say it to anyone else, including Milga, otherwise, I will definitely break your neck." ”
With that, he opened the wooden box, and inside was a carved wooden flower.
Mondo snatched the wooden box, picked up the flowers with two fingers, and suddenly felt a cool breath coming to him. "Ice Crystal Rose!" he blurted out.
Mondo fingered the delicate ice crystal flower stem, and couldn't believe that this delicate rose was actually made by an orc, or carved from an ice crystal tree.
Ice crystal wood is extremely tough, even a tomahawk is difficult to cut, and it is most suitable for making farming tools and other stupid guys, to carve into a small flower, Mondo dare not even think of it.
The leaves on the flower stems are embedded with real ice crystal leaves, which can be described as ingenious. When did the orcs have this kind of romance?
"Enough of it, boy!"
"Uncle, Aunt Leia is the girl of your dreams?" Mondo asked seriously, staring at the blacksmith's red eyes.
"It's not ......" Tark's beast face turned red in an instant, and he snatched the Ice Crystal Rose and put it back in the wooden box.
"Okay, what should I say when I meet my aunt?"
"Don't say anything...... Tark shook his head, then suddenly sighed again, and said, "The past should be put down sooner......
"Uncle, why can't I understand this?"
"Get out, let's go now and catch dinner!"
........................................................................
In the evening, Mondo rode a wolf to the gate of an orc village.
The village is a replica of the Rock Village, with two watchtowers at the entrance, a row of thick civil walls filled with pointed wooden stakes, and the village gate closed tightly. Orc villages resemble humble fortresses that can be transformed into war machines at any time when war comes.
According to Uncle Tatark's description, this should be the Boulder Village.
The wolf's howl awakened the guards on the watchtower.
"A wolf-riding warrior!"
"Who are you, what are you doing in Boulder Village?"
It seems that the vigilance of these orc villagers is still high. Mondo pointed to the badge on his chest and shouted, "I am a mercenary of the Bloodstone Mercenary Regiment, and I have been entrusted by the old village chief of the Rock Village, Tatar Balo, to bring you something. ”
The orc militia was more simple and immediately welcomed Mondo's arrival.
"Squeak!"
The gate of Boulder Village slowly opened, and a large group of orcs appeared at the door, led by an elderly orc, who looked even older than Tatarbalo.
Mondo jumped down and took the reins, and walked into the village gate. When he tore off the scarf on his face, the crowd suddenly whispered.
"Oh my God! This mercenary is a half-blood. ”
"It's the first time I've seen a wolf-riding hybrid. ”
"Is he an adult? looks like a little kid!"
"Ahem!ahem!" The old orc in the lead coughed a few times, suppressing the whispers of the villagers, he frowned, and said, "I am the village chief of Boulder Village, are you here for something?"
"Tatar Balo, the village chief of Boulder Village, has entrusted me to send a few boxes of plasters, and asks me to hand them over to the village chief of Boulder Village, it seems that it is Your Excellency!" Mondo took out the ointment from the wolf's backpack and gave it to the old village chief.
"That old fellow has invented a new plaster, and it seems that his alchemy skills have improved again!" The old village chief took the plaster, and his dry face became a little more angry.
"Is Aunt Rena here? There's a gift for Aunt Rena!"
Mondo shouted, his eyes flashing from the female orcs around him. To his disappointment, these female orcs are either Lori or bloated aunts. Orcs are beautiful for being strong, and most of the female orcs are tall and strong, as strong as cows, and the stronger they are, the more popular they are.
"Young man, Rena hasn't come back from her outing, you can leave the gift to me for safekeeping. The old village chief said.
"I must hand it over to her myself!"
Mondo shook his head, jokingly, and handed the rose into the hands of an old man, and Uncle Talk had to strangle me.
"Look, Rena is back!" shouted someone from the watchtower.
Mondo looked back and saw several orcs running in the snow, and in a blink of an eye they reached the entrance of the village. A tall female orc was the first to enter, she was wearing a long animal skin dress, a dozen linen braids on her head fluttering in the wind, a large bow at her waist, and a pot of bows and arrows on her back, looking heroic.
"Captain Rena, this little ...... The mercenaries have brought you gifts!" shouted the militia on the watchtower.
The orc looked at the half-blood boy in a little surprise, "I'm Rena, what did you bring?"
Mondo secretly gave this female orc eighty points in his heart, even in the eyes of a human, Aunt Rena's appearance is not bad, although her jaw still has two thin white fangs. Uncle Tatark's vision is indeed not bad!
"Uncle Tatar told me that I had to hand it over to you alone!"
"It turned out to be from Tarke!" a smile appeared on Rena's face, "Follow me, little one." ”
Mondo followed Rena into a hut and took out the red lacquered wooden box.
His round eyes widened as he watched without blinking as Rena opened the wooden box and took out the Ice Crystal Rose...... To his disappointment, Aunt Rena's eyes flashed with surprise for only a second, and in the blink of an eye, they returned to normal.
Alas, it seems, Uncle Talk is no play!
"Fresh ice crystals, did Tark go to Stormwind Canyon again? his legs ......"
"Uncle's legs are much better than before, and he almost fought hard to make this wood carving!" said Mondo, unchanging.
Rena's face flushed, she sighed, shook her head, and said, "Tell him not to go there in the future...... Did he bring a message?"
"Uncle said, everything should be looked forward, and the past should be let go. ”
"He's still so optimistic!" said Rena, who walked into the back room, "You come with me." ”
The back room is Aunt Rena's bedroom, which is well organized. The only thing that was special was that the wooden table had a totem pole in place. Rena took the ice crystal rose and gently placed it next to the totem pole.
Orcs did not have the custom of believing in gods, and the only sacrifices were to ancestors or the deceased, using totem poles as a form of sustenance. In this way, the totem pole is placed in the bedroom, and only the closest loved ones or friends are sacrificed.
"Who is he?"
"Zach, a human magician!"
Rena took a sheepskin from the drawer of the wooden table and gently unfolded it, revealing a portrait of an orc girl and a human man, leaning against each other in the setting sun.
The painting was not delicate, and Mondo still easily recognized that the orc girl was the young Aunt Rena.
"Is the name on the totem pole just him?"
"Yes, Zach died to protect me. Rena said softly, "Didn't Tark tell you that his leg was also badly wounded in that battle. Later, we both quit the mercenary world and returned to our hometowns. ”
The village of Razor Ridge is really not simple! There are so many stories hidden!
Berserker Krag, blacksmith Tark, shaman's apprentice old village chief, plus Aunt Rena, this group of orcs in the outer land, the power of this group of orcs is not to be underestimated. Even the hero Millega is inextricably linked to the Rock Village.
However, they are all outside the imperial system.
Mondo felt a little sorry for his father.
"Auntie, what are your plans for the future?" said Mondo's question, which was for Uncle Tark.
"I'm the captain of the guards in Boulder Village, and I will be in the future. ”
