Chapter 45: Barr
Dressing table.
This is not an uncommon piece of furniture, and it can be found in almost every woman's boudoir in the human cities of the north, especially for the nobility and merchants, as well as in certain customs and trades that make a living from it.
A large snow-white mirror, and the drawers and cabinets below are filled with all kinds of makeup products.
However.
If it appeared in the southern realm, the residence of a subhuman race, or as a powerful clan that occupied the orc plains alone, the residence of the "high priest" of the ancient wolf clan, who was even higher than the position of "chief", was placed in an important place in the room, it would give rise to an extreme sense of disobedience and unnaturalness.
And this strange feeling may have reached its peak when the "high priest" was still sitting quietly in front of the dresser, carefully and carefully straightening his long hair with a wooden comb.
Barr held his hair in one hand, and felt the strands running through the comb with the other.
He kept adjusting the angle, and even though many strands of hair were already very straight in the eyes of outsiders, he was still not satisfied, and did not allow a single unkempt hair to appear.
After all
This is the most important "beauty" for him.
Finally, it was not until each strand of hair was extremely soft that he skillfully put his hands behind his head and began to braid, and soon his long hair was tied in a bun like two butterfly wings at the back of his head, and Baer took out his other hand and picked up the hairband prepared on the table and tied it in the middle of it, and finally fixed the ends of the hair with various hairpins.
Looking at his delicate neutral face in the mirror, under the backdrop of the hairstyle, he became a little more feminine, and Baer's eyes showed a look of satisfaction.
This hairstyle was something he learned from the human city, and he was fascinated by the Oiran style among geisha at first sight, so he later used it on himself, and it is one of his many hairstyle reserves, which is probably one of Baer's favorites.
The hairstyle was just one part of Barr's dressing, and soon he picked up a painted pen and placed it in the corner of his eye to start sketching.
But
Knock knock!
A rapid knock on the door suddenly sounded from outside, interrupting Baer's movements, especially in a delicate job like eyeshadow painting, which requires concentration, only to see that because of the knocking sound, Baer's pen tip was slightly off, making the eyeshadow line have an indecent little stain.
Bar, who was still exuding a beautiful and tranquil body just now, became irritable and rude in the next moment, his brows furrowed, and even a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
But soon after, Baer realized that this would only break his beauty, and returned to the barbarian he used to be, and after taking a deep breath, he calmed down again, turned his face slightly to the door, and said lightly:
"Come in."
With the permission of the High Priest, the chief of the Ancient Wolf Clan soon appeared in the room.
He and Baer are both subhumans of the wolf clan, but the appearance of the two is very different, the chief is wearing a very traditional animal skin coat, the wide chest of the upper body is exposed, which does not hide his five big and three thick figures, and the raised fangs at the corners of the mouth on both sides are even more exposed, as soon as he enters the house, it is also accompanied by a stench, because the subhuman race has lived in the south for a long time, and basically does not have the habit of bathing often.
All these "vulgarities" made Baer, who was in front of the dresser, frown uncontrollably.
When he looked back at the chief of the Ancient Wolf Clan, who had no muscles but how ugly he looked, Baer at this moment seemed to see the former him, the former one.
He was abandoned because of his appearance and gender.
"I should have told you not to bother me while I was preparing for the ceremony, right? I hope what you're going to say next is really that important. Baer, who had put down his paintbrush in front of the dresser, said lightly.
And the chief of the ancient wolf clan, when Baer mentioned "preparing for the ceremony", he actually pouted in his heart, especially when he saw the dresser where Baer was sitting, as well as the many bottles and cans imported from the northern humans on the platform, which he didn't know what to use at all, but they were all extremely expensive, although he had seen them several times, but each time he was still extremely puzzled and puzzled.
But of course, these dissatisfaction with the "high priest" will only remain in the bottom of my heart, and the apparent chief still does not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reports:
"High Priest, there seems to be something unusual on the Tribal Forest recently."
"Anomaly?"
"Yes, there are several clans that don't pay us tribute anymore, and many of them seem to be trying to unite again."
Hehe.
Upon hearing this, Barr let out a sarcastic sound.
He curled his fingers, took care of his nails, and said casually: "How to do this kind of thing, do you still need me to teach you?" ”
"No, no, no, High Priest, I got the intelligence that they were the initiator of this clan union, it seems. It seems to be the leader of the revolutionary army from the side of the closed capital! And their speed is so fast, it's only been a week or so, and they've already formed a large scale, High Priest, I think this time is completely different from the previous ones! ”
The chief's follow-up additions made the movements on Barr's fingers stop.
He didn't care about the scale and speed, anyway, no matter how united the subhuman race was, under the "curse", it would only be a rabble.
Barr is more concerned about
The Revolutionary Army of the Closed Capital?
Previously, his puppet Charlotte on the northern human side had reported to him the news that "the Empress is in the South", and it was precisely because of this that he held a meeting of the Forsaken in the "Sanctuary".
Now, combined with the chief's words, a bad premonition arose in Barr's heart, and he immediately commanded:
"Bring a few sentinels back from the Tribal Forest."
"Yes, High Priest."
After receiving Baer's order, the chief walked out quickly, and after a while, three or four sentries from the Ancient Wolf Clan were brought to Baer.
It was the first time that these sentinels were so close to the high priest, and they trembled with excitement, especially when the high priest actually got up from the strange mirror stand and walked towards them step by step, and he was hurrying to prepare for the high priest's questioning below.
But
As the next moment the High Priest raised his white palms to them, all the excitement quickly turned into a shudder of fear.
Before they could even make a sound, a soul suction made them wail in pain, as if the High Priestess had pulled them out of their bodies little by little.
Instead of using such an inefficient way as "asking", Barr directly extracted the souls of these sentinels, closed his eyes, and went to search for their soul fragments himself, which contained everything they had seen and heard in the Tribal Forest.
At first, the picture was normal and ordinary.
It was the various clans that began to move and gather the camp together, and as the sentinels continued to go deeper, when they arrived at the camp of the original Dire Lizard Clan, Bar frowned.
Because he saw one. Maid?
Is this a android?
If it is only to surprise Baer now, then with the next scene of the soul fragment, there happened to be a strong wind blowing, raising 86's short hair, so Baer, who has omniscient ability under the soul fragment, immediately keenly captured a detail that made him tremble all over his body and his pupils suddenly dilated.
