Chapter 55: Dinner for the Larvae
At the end of summer, the blue sky and white clouds, the days of the plague of insect swarms seem to have passed, and Jabbar searched the footprints of the Abyss Lord, chasing them all the way. But the supply on the road also became a problem, due to the insect's plague caused irreversible damage to the world on the ground, the trees were gnawed by the roots, the grass was also, except for the sky was still blue, the world on the ground no longer had a trace of the past, and everywhere was desolate. So the source of food has also become the biggest problem.
"I'll catch some larvae, maybe we can roast and eat. ”
Gelman said, about to transform. But Abdul-Jabbar stopped him.
"Bugs, can you eat them?"
For an orc uncle who is accustomed to eating meat and flour, it sounds like a disgusting idea to eat bugs now. And these bugs are not the small insects of the forest, but the larvae of giant beetles the size of sausages.
"Why can't you eat it?"
Gelman wondered, wondering what Abdul-Jabbar was thinking.
"Maybe we can find something else to eat?"
Despite the scarcity of food and the fact that he had been hungry for a few days, Jabbar was unwilling to accept the reality of eating bugs and tried to find another alternative food.
"You see, this neighborhood is desolate, even the woods have been eaten by the roots, like the bark of a tree is gone, and we really have no substitute for food except to catch the larvae to eat. ”
Gelman said, shrugging his shoulders and looking at Abdul-Jabbar.
"Okay, okay, catch the smaller ones, I get sick to my stomach when I see them. ”
In desperation, Jabbar agreed to try Gelman's food.
"Esalivan, you don't have to blindly accommodate me, many times it's not worth it for you to follow me to take risks. ”
After Gelman left, Abdul-Jabbar began to have a long talk with Asalivan, for Asalivan, Abdul-Jabbar can be said to be grateful or grateful, this female mage has followed him along the way, helped herself, and even did more than Rafael, so every time Abdul-Jabbar quieted down, he always felt that he owed too much to others.
"I'm not helping you, I'm helping everyone. ”
Esalivan sat down and said lightly, her temperament is always so elegant, the little girl's lively and naughty energy at the beginning is now gone, only nobility and calmness remain.
"How?"
"Because what you're doing is helping people get through this. ”
Asalivan's answer was straightforward, and like Abdul-Jabbar, Asalivan was always so natural and direct when dealing with friends she could trust.
"Actually, a lot of times I don't feel like I'm a good big chief. For example, when I escaped the rule of the Blood Roar, it was only because he killed my family, and then I organized a coalition to rebel against him, and only because I didn't resist him, he would have killed me as well, because I was the son of the Snowfall King. Later, I led the coalition army deep into the land of the dead, because the army of the undead had been released, and if I didn't destroy them, I didn't have the possibility of living a good life, all because I was just from my own point of view, but in the end I became the object of everyone's reverence. ”
Looking at Esarivan's eyes full of wisdom, Abdul-Jabbar couldn't help but spit out all his inner thoughts, these thoughts, these thoughts, the orc uncle talked to Raphael, and he hadn't told anyone yet, after all, the orcs needed a strong and selfless big chief, but an ordinary orc who struggled with contradictions in his heart.
"A lot of people, a lot of things are like this, aren't I like that myself? In the city of Dicas, your arrival will eventually change the fate of the city, and it will also change my life, my uncle Lord Robert finally died in that war, I cried for a long time, and now it seems that it was all just fate. We're destined to go through so much, Abdul-Jabbar. ”
Seeing Abdul-Jabbar confide in his heart, Asalievan also talked about her thoughts. An orc warrior and a human mage sat together like this, one moment sad, the other laughing and chatting a lot.
"Hehe, I still remember the first time I saw you, you were a little girl, pestering me in the street, asking a lot of nonsense, everyone was afraid of orcs, but you were not afraid. ”
Abdul-Jabbar chatted, unconsciously talking about those distant fragments.
"Because you helped us get rid of the werewolves, and my uncle trusts someone who can't be wrong, even if you're an orc. ”
Asalivan said.
"But after all, the hatred between humans and orcs has existed for too long, and this hatred will erupt from time to time, and as long as no one controls it, it will turn into a disaster sooner or later. ”
Abdul-Jabbar spoke the truth. This fact made the atmosphere of the conversation suddenly serious again.
"When the time comes, let's do what we can to stop it. ”
Asalivan was a little tired, and like Abdul-Jabbar, she was trying to stop the war and keep the peace. But a little friction between the good guys can also make waves again between two completely different populations.
"I think that in order to stop this disaster in the long run, you can build a kingdom by yourself, I believe that under your rule, the people of the kingdom will definitely obey your laws and will not attack the orcs without permission, and I will also order my subordinates not to act against the humans in the kingdom at will, so that perhaps the time of peace can come." ”
Abdul-Jabbar suddenly had a bold idea again. It's just that I don't know if Esarivan agrees, the dragon hunter, with Esarivan's fame, it is not difficult to establish her own kingdom, and there will be many people who follow her.
"Let's talk about it then, the threat of the Zerg has not been completely eliminated, we must find the Abyss Lord and kill it, so that the demons cannot spread evil in this world, otherwise all our future ideals will be empty talk. ”
Esalivan's words brought the conversation back to what was happening at hand.
At this time, Gelman also returned, and for half an hour, both Abdul-Jabbar and Esharlivan did not know how this druid had done it, but he did bring a lot of "food".
The larvae of the scarab beetle that had been skinned, the Brook worker who had its foot bitten off, and the larvae of the Calado demon spider that had been crushed and dried up.
"A feast for bugs. ”
Gelman roared, looking quite happy. But Jabbar vomited in front of two people......
"Abdul-Jabbar, don't worry, it looks disgusting now, it will be very fragrant when it's baked, sweet potato flavor, don't believe you wait to try it." ”
Gelman said, looking triumphant, and Jabbar suddenly discovered that this night elf druid, who usually doesn't talk much, is actually a happy little tease. (To be continued.) )
