The dinner ended happily in a laugh and laughter, and Marlowe's only regret was that he couldn't have two drinks with Ogga.

As the chief's right-hand man, Oga had to give up pleasure when the tribe's defenses were at their most lax, so after the feast began, Oga took about forty orc warriors to patrol the town.

The crowd dispersed, and the whole tribe finally calmed down.

Tunak called Marlowe into the chief's hall, this was the first time Marlowe entered, only to see that the hall was supported by eight huge logs, and in the center was a huge fire pit, around which there was a circle of thick animal skins, this was where everyone met on weekdays, Marlowe followed Tunak around the fire pond and entered the compartment behind the hall, there was a wooden bed and a chair in the compartment, and the oil lamp at the head of the bed was emitting a slightly dim light.

In the flickering light, Marlowe saw that the portrait of his mother was flattened in a frame, and there was nothing in the frame next to it.

"Sit down, my child. Tunak said as he sat down. "You did well tonight, although you were a little reckless at the beginning, but then you did act like my son of Tunak, resourceful, courageous, and bloody. ”

Marlowe knew that his father was talking about his duel with Torrou: "Father, I want Oga to train my combat skills, if Tollru uses his combat skills, I will definitely lose." ”

Marlowe's triumphant attitude satisfied Tunak, and he smiled and nodded, "I'll arrange this." How does it feel to be home?"

"It's a little different from what I imagined, I thought I'd see more orcs, more livestock. Marlowe replied honestly.

"You'll see that in the near future, my kid. Tunak patted Marlowe on the shoulder with a resolute expression, believing that as long as everyone worked together, a happy and beautiful life would eventually come. "I heard that you met people from the Prairie Bandit Mercenary Group on the road?"

I guess Oga has told his father all about the experience on the road.

Handing the portrait he had obtained in the Dark Dragon Mountains to Tunak, Marlowe said, "Father, this is the one I picked up after the battle with the Black Blade, and it seems to be the one my mother drew for me the year before last. ”

Tunak used the light to examine the portrait on the vellum, which he had seen countless times, and every line of the portrait had been etched in his mind.

"That's right, it's your mother's drawing. Probably not long after the Oga and the others left with Garth Lauren's caravan, your portrait was gone. Tonak smoothed out the folds in the brown paper and loaded it into the empty frame, his eyes glowing coldly when he turned his head again. "Hmph, those grassland tumors are really bold enough to try to assassinate you. ”

"Father, the Black Blade said that someone spent 50,000 gold coins to hire a killer to assassinate you, and you will be okay later......"

"Hahaha, my child, the rabble that has fallen into darkness is not yet capable of that. Tunak laughed heartily, but his eyes were even colder. "Fifty thousand gold coins, hehe, fifty thousand gold coins want to buy my head? It's not that easy!"

"Father, but they still have their inner shoulds hidden in the darkness. ”

"I already know this, but we'll have to wait, the best hunters must be patient, if they don't break the serpent's head, it will only hide it deeper. Tunak stood up and removed the enchanted battle axe hanging on the wall, the weapon of the previous chiefs, and saw him raise the battle axe, the body of which glowed with a scorching and dazzling light.

"Remember, our ancestors were born again in the dark hell where the creatures were more ferocious and cunning than they were, but our ancestors were still free, so don't be afraid, if you still have the courage to see the light of freedom shine on the earth. ”

Marlowe felt that his father was extremely strong and tall at the moment, and nothing in the world seemed to be able to defeat his father.

"I see, father. That the north ......"

"Northern ......"

Tunak suddenly remembered more than ten years ago. Shortly after he succeeded to the throne as chieftain, the goblin merchant Garth Lauren returned from Orima to spend the night in the Warcry Tribe, and as a thank you, Garth invited him to drink, and during the feast, he talked about an elf who had given birth to a half-breed in Fortfort Twin Springs.

Tunak was unusually certain that the elf must be Gina, so he set off that night and hurried to Twin Springs, only to be stopped by a halfling snake girl when he arrived outside the castle after exhaustion and hardship, and the almost demigod had prophesied about him and warned himself that if he entered the city to see Gina and his child, it would have irreparable consequences for their mother and son.

Unable to doubt the prophet's prophecy, Tunak was able to tell all the secrets between herself and Gina, and Tunak had to return to the Silver Lake Grassland with reluctance and regret for the sake of his wife and children.

However, the half-snake woman prophesied more than one, telling Tunak that when the new wolf king returned to the Silver Lake Grassland, the blood of the old wolf king would stain the northernmost part of the grassland.

I don't know how long it took, Tunak finally came back to his senses from his contemplation, looked at Marlowe who was waiting quietly, and said in a low voice: "Marlowe, my child, if one day my soul is recalled by my ancestors, you must inherit the lava axe in my hand, no matter how great the difficulties and sufferings, you must also lead the people to find the true paradise and live a free and happy life." Can you assure me?"

Marlowe didn't know why his father would talk about such a heavy topic, and his every word was full of regret and sadness, seeing his father's hopeful look, Marlowe nodded firmly and replied, "Yes, I promise." But the father ......"

Tunak waved his hand to stop what the child wanted to say.

"My child, you know, when I made a vow to make our people live happily, I knew what kind of pain and suffering I would go through, but fortunately with your mother, with Shshmo Shaman, with Ogara, with Pinak, with Garth Lauren, and so many people who have supported and helped me, these efforts over the past ten years have indeed given me hope to change the fate of my tribe.

But I'm old, my child, and I've worked hard to cut the door of hope through the thorns, and it may not be long before you young people will need to cut through it. ”

Tunak looked at the flickering lights, and his temples seemed to be a little more white: "It's not too early, you should go back and rest early, I think we still have enough time to do something together." ”

"Yes, Father. Seeing the exhaustion on his father's face, Marlowe obediently withdrew from the room, and his mother's letter was placed by him at the head of his father's bed.

There are too many things on my father's shoulders, and I hope that my mother's letter will make my father feel happy for a while...... Marlowe thought so.
