Chapter 3 Turning the Face and Not Recognizing People

"**, why are you arresting us?"

In the underground prison of Chetsum, the orc farmer yells at the human guards who are holding him. The farmer's roar was so loud that even the entire cell echoed with the beastly roar. However, no other orc could hear his roar in this cold, damp underground cell, and now, the hundreds of prisons here were still empty. In the near future, humanity will arrest more innocent orcs into this underground prison, either to be enslaved and used as coolies, or sent to the arena to be used as a tool for entertaining the masses.

"Because you are smuggling elven goods in the city of Chetham. ”

The human guards guarding the orc prisoners outside the cell replied coldly.

"Smuggling elf goods, Lao * Tzu has not encountered any elf goods at all, we have worked hard to hunt and grow food, only to get a pitiful amount of copper and basic daily necessities from the market, and now you are talking to Lao * Tzu about smuggling? Orcs will not do that kind of dirty thing, only you cunning dogs can do it!"

Through the bar, the orc farmer roared and cursed. But in the next second, the human guards immediately taught him a lesson, and the torture rod was struck down, beating the orc farmer to a bloody face, and the corners of his mouth and eyes even congealed with blood clots. The farmer tried to fight back, but his hands and feet were shackled and separated by bars, so he couldn't reach the human guard, who spat at the orc farmer after beating him.

"Dogs can't change their eating. ”

The beaten orc, bruised all over, continued to curse angrily. However, more deadly beatings followed.

"Carlos, calm down, calm down, Quintus only let us capture the orcs, didn't let us kill them, these orcs are still useful, kill them, we can't give an account to the top. ”

The captain of the guard in front of him angrily beat the orcs, but his minions dissuaded him in time. However, after the anger was appeased, the captain of the guard still kicked the orc farmer who was talking back. Now, the orc farmer was beaten to the point of blood, and barely a single piece of skin was intact on his body.

"Go, call two physicians, anoint him, and let them die until Quintus comes to inspect this prison. ”

After the anger subsided, the captain of the town guard said coldly......

A month later, the imperial capital of mankind, Teletham.

"Heradi, I think you already know about the recent captivity incident that happened on the tribal border. ”

The capture of the orc farmer caused the tribe's chief Baladin to hurry from the north to the south, the capital of mankind. This was originally a small matter, but as a member of the tribe, Paladin had to take issue with the unreasonable actions of the humans. In addition, King Khradi used to be his comrade-in-arms, so after Baladin entered the palace, he talked straight to the point.

"Oh, I know. ”

Khradi's answer surprised Baladin, the orc chief originally thought that the human king would be embarrassed to step down from the throne and admit his management mistakes, but in front of him, Hradi's reaction was completely disdainful and cold, as if he didn't care about this matter at all, or he knew about it a long time ago......

"You know the people who let my men arrest me for no reason, what crime did they commit?"

Baladin began to feel a little dissatisfied, not only because of the arrogance of the human king in front of him, but also because Heradi simply did not give a disdain to the matter.

"They are suspected of smuggling a batch of elven treasures, and my prosecutor has listed their incriminating evidence, if you want to go through it. ”

Hradi replied. The early winter sun was a little pale, shining on the speech platform in the King's Hall, which had been the venue for the noble council to discuss important events, and now Paladin stood alone in the center, staring at Heradi on the stage.

"Well, even if what you say is true, but what power do your subordinates have to arrest my people, they are orcs, not humans, we have our own laws, and even if we break the law, we must be punished by the rules of the tribe. ”

The more Paladin spoke, the louder he became. After all, it is an orc, no matter how restrained he is, he can't hide his wild nature, and the young human king is completely unreasonable when he speaks. Baladin began to get a little annoyed.

"Then if the orcs kill people on human soil, then they should also be sent back and let you punish them?"

Hradi stood up from the throne, his voice was slightly raised, and there was no longer any kindness and admiration in his eyes, for the great chief of the tribe, Hradi had changed from familiarity, friendship, to strangeness, and even hostility.

"Roar, orcs don't go wild on human territory for no reason. Unless you encounter unfair treatment. ”

Baladin began to roar, unarmed, but with fear into the hearts of those present.

"Hradi, my friend, you used to be the person Abdul-Jabbar valued the most, and the human child I always cared about, but today, what you have done surprised and disappointed me. You should reflect on yourself in this matter. ”

Khradi did not speak again, and Paladin continued. The Great Chief of the Orcs stabilized his emotions so that his violent temper would not explode, and before Abdul-Jabbar left, he repeatedly instructed Baladin to calm down three points before dealing with it.

"The one to reflect on is you, beast. ”

Unpredictable, Baladin thought that calming down and talking to this former friend could solve these trivial matters of interracial strife, but the next moment, Khradi suddenly shouted in response. The word beast is the most taboo to hear by orcs, especially during the period when Paladin led the tribe, the orcs continued to be good, returning to a simple life and faith, and now in the eyes of the orcs, the beast is essentially different from them. Hearing humans scold the word beast is the same as hearing humans call them animals. Such a vicious taunt made Paladin explode at once.

"Roar. ”

The great chief of the tribe roared angrily, and strode forward, about to pull the angry Hradi from the throne of the king, and teach his former friend a good lesson.

The two human guards immediately surrounded him, trying to catch the furious Baladin, but Baladin directly punched one of the human guards away, and the other guard hurriedly pounced to stop Baladin from continuing to advance, but the orc Great Chief directly pushed him away, and the guards who were knocked to the ground rolled down the steps. The fury of the orcs almost ignited the air in front of them, and this was only an arm's length away from Baladin and Hradi, and as long as the orc chief reached out, he could smash a fist in the face of this thin-skinned and tender human king.

“*****”

But in the next second, a strange spell sounded, and the mysterious wizard beside Khradi began to act, and with just one movement, Paladin pushed down the hall like a pair of invisible hands, and the heavy body of the orc slammed into the ground with a muffled sound.

"**, who is this person with you?"

Paladin, who had been knocked down from the stage, got up and glared angrily at the human king who had turned his face and denied his feelings.

"It's me. ”

But the next second, without waiting for Hradi to answer, the mysterious wizard who was next to the king took off his heavy black cloak.

And it was only at this time that Paladin saw clearly that from the beginning to the present, the mysterious wizard standing by Hradi's side was Semorrah, who escaped in the orc war back then!
