Chapter 3: The Dead Bear Orc
The second half of the class started at the scheduled time, and under the teacher's order, all the students who moved their seats away from the bear orcs reluctantly moved their butts back. The bear orc inside the cage didn't seem to be able to withstand the injuries on his body, or he was regrouping and preparing for a new round of pounces, all in all, this guy was a little more settled.
Seeing this, the teacher breathed a sigh of relief and continued to talk about the lesson, and the students in the class gradually recovered from their fright, and kept taking notes on the parchment.
"You just said you wanted to save him, what kind of salvation is it?" Marshall was curious and a little scared, what if this guy was released and attacked again?
"If you want this method to succeed, then you don't say a word, even if it helps me." Merlin turned sideways and glanced at the blonde girl, "As for attacking people, probably not. You look like you're going to keep it a secret for me, right? ”
"Hmph......" Marshall curled his lips and turned his face stiffly, ignoring Merlin, but clouds rose again and again in his heart. What the hell is this guy going to do? If you go too far, you'll definitely be discovered by the teacher, right? Looking at his information, he is just a three-demon warlock, and just with the knowledge he has learned in the book, it is a fantasy to rescue this big guy!
"The classification of orcs is no different from that of animals, and can be roughly divided into cold-blooded and mammal......" The teacher on the podium said, glancing at the iron cage beside him from time to time, but the bottom of his heart was gradually strange, because the orc, who had been struggling, suddenly remained motionless at this time, as if he was dead.
And the bear orc who was resting in the iron cage was also worried, time was passing, but Merlin in the corner of the classroom did not move. He was a little anxious, so desperate for freedom, for any living being.
"When will I come out?" Neem asked tentatively.
Merlin's voice came from Neem's head: "You're already out, but it will take some time." ”
Merlin closed his eyes, his hands slowly rubbed each other, and a shallow magic line spread out from the palm of his hand, like pieces of golden chrysanthemum petals, pale golden magic leaked out from between his fingers, obviously such a small magic power, but it could cause the surrounding space to tremble faintly. Marshall caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye, and he was quite envious in his heart, if he could also use magic, maybe he could do more than he did now......
Neem lay listlessly in the cold iron cage, and suddenly felt that her body had become lilt. The bars in front of me gradually distorted, as if everything I saw was becoming unreal, like paint washed away by detergent, revealing the true appearance of the canvas.
"Keep your body in its original position, don't talk to people around you, breathe naturally, or you'll be exposed." Merlin's voice rang out again, and Neem swallowed, and he blinked, realizing that his vision was completely different from before!
Desk...... Child...... And the teacher on the podium...... Underneath the ass is a chair......
Wait a minute! He's sitting in Merlin's seat right now, giving Merlin's lesson! Neem suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he lowered his head in fear to check his hairy body, and there was no change. But it was this furry body that was not recognized by the rest of the class that was the most frightening point!
"What's going on?" Although Neem quickly accepted her current situation, "What the hell should I do? ”
"Everything you've seen before is just an illusion." Neem looked at the bear orc in the cage who was exactly like himself and was spying on him with insightful eyes, and the words from the bottom of his heart caused chills to run through his back, "In short, it's just a little lie, okay, you're already out, as long as you don't do anything wrong, just walk out of the classroom after class, hide in any corner, and meet me when the time comes, the technique you swallow has a limited time limit, so you have to do it as soon as possible." ”
"Okay, okay...... "Neem didn't know what to say for a moment now, "Is there anything I need to pay attention to?" ”
"Don't let anyone touch you, or ...... What are the consequences...... You'll find out when the time comes. ”
Neem didn't know exactly what Merlin meant by what he said, but the creepy feeling was real. Now he not only has to pretend to be listening carefully, but also to avoid letting others touch him, which is a difficult task. He could barely understand what the humans on the podium were saying, and with the idea of understanding humans, Neem listened with relish.
Because he himself did not know that there were so many kinds of orcs, and the habits of each race were different. When Rubis lived a tribal life, their news was extremely closed, and in addition to hunting all day, they also strengthened the tribe's fortifications. Not only the orcs of other races, but also the other races of bear orcs are generally objects to be taken seriously.
"Each orc tribe has its own totem, and this type of totem, according to historians' speculation, originated from ancestor worship, and surprisingly, the totem of worship is able to infuse the power of ancestors, which is what we call rune magic, into some newborns in the tribe. And the power of these newborns will be developed in a special ritual [baptism], and [baptism] itself is a means for orc hatchlings to develop their intelligence. The specific content of this ritual ......" The teacher flipped through the textbook and read it word by word, "The altar is essentially the [Primordial Rune] in a broad sense, and the rune magic in the [Primordial Rune] can greatly promote the rune magic in the beast's body, and then further develop the soul, and then hit the purpose of opening the spiritual intelligence. And the orcs with totemic power will grow special magic patterns on their bodies, which is the basis for the existence of triangular runes on their bodies. ”
I see...... Although Neem couldn't fully believe what humans were saying, if it was true, he could finally understand why he was the way he was. In fact, most of the orcs' intelligence has already germinated before they have gone through the [Baptism], and [Baptism] is only to give them the opportunity to become more intelligent, and to allow some children who are lagging behind to keep up with their development.
"And these 'gifted' children are often treated unfairly, of course, this has been said before, so I won't repeat it." "Big Teacher" sighed, "This class is almost here, do you have any other questions?" ”
I thought that no one would ask questions, and most of the people wanted to take the iron cage away as soon as possible, but I didn't expect that many students would ask: "Teacher, do you have any thoughts on the new orc management methods in recent years?" ”
"Are orcs dangerous to humans?"
"Why should such a ferocious and ugly creature as orcs be allowed into Yaris?"
The teacher choked up for a moment, because he noticed that the students who spoke didn't seem to have a good impression of the orcs: "These are the questions you asked...... The teacher couldn't answer for a while, but as I said before, we should respect all life in the world......"
"But many people died in the previous orc rebellion!"
"Yes! Teacher, do you have any thoughts on this matter? ”
At this moment, the bear orc in the iron cage suddenly moved, he ignored the current on the railing, his mane exploded, his eyes were blood-red, and a roar like a wave gushed out from the depths of his bloody throat, and his chest flashed with dazzling green light, under the surprised gaze of everyone, the thick vines broke open the solid marble floor, suddenly penetrated the translucent curtain, and in a blink of an eye, he rushed towards the teacher on the podium!
"What...... What! Marshall, who was in the seat, hurriedly stood up, pulled the magic sword at his feet, and wanted to strike, "Be careful!" ”
"I don't need you to make a move!" The huge "Great Teacher" bit his lower lip hard, and a few drops of blood poured out of the bite, "In my name!" ”
He snapped his fingers vigorously, and a wisp of golden dust and sand leaked between his fingers, and the void rumbled, and dozens of earth-colored stone pillars stood out of thin air, instantly smashing a few tree vines. In front of the teacher's stone pillars, these vines seemed a little inadequate.
Boom! Bang bang bang!
Before the bear orcs could lift the fence, a thick stone pillar fell from the sky, and the shield was a little pediatric relative to this behemoth, crackling and shattering in an instant, and then the top of the iron cage collapsed, and then the orcs in the iron cage were instantly pressed to the bottom by this stone pillar. The bone cracks dispersed with the sound of flesh and blood, and with a wave of the teacher's hand, the stone pillars in the air disappeared, leaving only lifeless bears and orcs lying at the bottom of the twisted iron cage.
"How could it be...... Such? Marshall covered his eyes, his voice gradually choked, and muttered, "I can ...... it."
Neem swallowed his saliva, staring at the almost paper-thin corpse on the stage in a daze, so afraid that he didn't dare to breathe for a while. If he had done this before, I'm afraid he would have been killed like this......
"Are you alright?" Neem asked worriedly.
This guy ...... That's why I'm like this...... If you just die......
