Chapter 2: The Cunning Human

"Hey, get up and beat its head into meat sauce!"

In the noisy and blood-boiling amphitheater, human nobles and commoners are sitting in the high stands, watching the two gladiators in the audience slash at each other. Brutal and bloody scene, one gladiator is defeated, another is grabbing his neck, dagger aimed at the throat of the vanquished, waiting for the people in the stands to give orders for life or death. This brutal competitive game was banned by Alonso a long time ago, but the new king, Khradi, turned it on again in order to bring people back to the entertainment of blood.

"Ha, it's so exciting to watch these bloody gladiatorial fights, but I always feel like something is missing, but what it is, I can't say. ”

The human nobles Abbas and Auston watched with relish from the stands, and for the human nobles who were far away from the war, only by going to the arena to watch the gladiators fight each other and bleed could they release some of their fantasies and blood about war.

"Less savage and furious. ”

Auston replied, and with that, the human nobleman smiled like a fox.

"I think so, we should write to King Khedira and hope to let more wild beasts in, such as the night leopard or the lion, which is the most exciting, the roar of the beasts, the brute force of the bite, the splattering of blood. Wow, think about it, that's all exciting. ”

Abbas is a hardcore human nobleman, and although he has never slaughtered a domestic animal with his own hands, he still has a high pursuit of visual enjoyment.

"But the problem is that there are not so many wild beasts in the kingdom for the arena to slaughter, and now it is difficult to catch even a lion, and I heard that the price of these beasts has risen due to the activities in the arena, and it can even reach the price of fifty bags of flour. ”

In the face of his friend's desires, Auston is much more sensible. It is true that Auston was five years older than Abbas, and many times the older aristocrat began to pay attention to the price of goods, rather than going to various entertainment venues to have fun all day. Therefore, for the business in the market now, Auston has a deeper understanding.

"That's a bit of a pity, it would be nice to see wild beasts in the arena on a regular basis. ”

Abbas was a little disappointed, with a childlike and stubborn temper, and didn't care about any financial interests at all, as long as he had to play. And the fact that there were not many wild beasts that could enter the arena for slaughter and recreation undoubtedly made Abbas less interested.

"By the way, have you ever heard a story about the orc wars from your father?"

Auston glanced at Abbas, and through the look and desire of the human boy in front of him, he thought of the needs of the entire human society, and a new business was placed in front of him. At the same time, an evil thought arose in the heart of this young nobleman.

"Orc War?Yes, my father often told me about that war, and like a myth, the alliance of orcs and humans eventually penetrated deep into the realm of the undead and defeated the invincible Skeletron. ”

Abbas recalled the story he heard when he was a child, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of enthusiasm, what kind of era it was, the young aristocratic boy really wanted to experience it, although in fact, if he really went to the battlefield, he might not even dare to assassinate the enemy, but people who have not experienced war are always full of beautiful fantasies about war.

"Yes, that war was a thrilling, epic battle. I heard that those orcs are very brave, almost like wild beasts, and they slaughter people like crazy when they see them, and sometimes they will directly bite with their teeth when they are happy, what a barbaric race. ”

Alston spoke slowly, observing Abbas's expression. In the minds of the young nobles, a whole new industry is about to be created, provided that the human nobles have such a strong demand, and Abbas's reaction represents the typical human aristocracy.

"yes, we can take one or two orcs to the arena and fight them, and that would be like killing a beast. That scene must be more beautiful and exciting than these gladiators fighting now. ”

Abbas thought for a moment, and suddenly excitedly told Auston about his thoughts. Abbas was excited, as he thought he was the first to think so, but in reality, Auston already had a sly smile on his lips when he saw his friend dancing like this. The young aristocrat was drawing his younger friend to think in this direction.

"But the orcs are now in a state of peaceful coexistence with us. It is illegal to arrest them without permission. ”

Knowing Abbas's intentions, Auston deliberately pretended to be helpless and asked Abbas.

"Well, that's just as well. ”

Hearing Auston say this, Abbas instantly became discouraged and lost interest.

"But if you really want to see orcs fight in the ring, I have a way to get them. ”

Seeing Abbas sitting listlessly in his seat, Auston slowly approached his friend, covered his mouth, and whispered to Abbas.

"How do you want to get the orcs?"

Hearing that his friend could catch an orc, Abbas became excited again.

"The law only stipulates that orcs cannot be attacked on their own initiative, but it does not stipulate that guilty orcs cannot be captured. ”

Auston looked sly.

"You want to put a false accusation on them?"

Abbas was also a clever human nobleman, and when he heard Alston say this, he quickly thought of his best friend's plan.

"Haha, you really know me. ”

Seeing Abbas's responsiveness, Auston's smile became even more pronounced. This business, in the hearts of the young nobles, already has a rough model. Abbas seemed to see the rage of orcs fighting in the arena in the future, and Auston seemed to see a lot of money and wealth rolling in from the smuggling docks and underground prisons.

"Kill him!"

On the field, the eager shouts of the audience sounded again. The next moment, the victorious gladiator plunged his short sword into the throat of the vanquished, and a thick stream of blood suddenly poured out from the human's neck. stained the sand beneath their feet red......

At night, Chetham Street.

"Why did you arrest us?"

A dozen human city guards secretly arrested the orc farmers and hunters while night fell. The two orcs woke up as they were tied hand and foot, and tried to resist, but a dozen human guards came together and suppressed the orc's resistance. An arrested orc farmer yelled.

"You are suspected of illegal smuggling, and now, in accordance with Article 135 of the Teletham Trade Act, I arrest you, and you have the right to remain silent, but every word you say will be treated as ......"

"your ** law, I'm an orc, not a vile human. ”

The human officer tried to finish his sentence, but the captured orc farmer burst into foul language. In front of all the human guards, he yelled, but his hands and feet were tied, and the human officer immediately swung his fist, and the orc farmer was beaten to the corner of his mouth, and he roared angrily but could not break free from the rope on his body.

"That's your plan?"

"No, I haven't ordered the Chengguan Brigade to capture the orcs......"

At night, when a group of human guards tied up four or five orcs walked through the streets of Chetham, Abbas and Auston watched the city guards walk by with wide eyes, and what made Auston even more puzzled was that he had not yet given the order to capture the orcs, why did the regular army of Teletham come here and capture the orcs in the name of justice?
