Olinkates is a witch medicine practitioner living in the main department, she is not interested in research, but more interested in 'art' and 'society';

She believes that the progress of society and civilization should not be "production-only", and "art, culture and social care" should also be an important indicator to measure the level of civilization.

Of course, she only has a rough idea, and has not really developed a theoretical system of her own.

Of course, Olinka cares about art and the weak, and doesn't pay much attention to the study of strength and technology.

The reason why she has been able to continue her meditation training to this day, in addition to the mandatory requirement of the "central nursery" when she was a child, is that she understands that only by becoming a witch doctor can she have a real voice and be able to make her own voice.

So, although she doesn't have much to do with her own strength, she still hopes to be a witch doctor and occupy a seat in the Rune Council.

Fortunately, she is quite talented, and at the age of only 21, or even a minor, she can already support the intensity of apprentice-level meditation;

As long as you persist for a while, you will surely be able to break the first barrier between fantasy and reality, establish a meditation space, and become a true spellcaster with non-destructive spell casting ability.

A few days ago, Olinka had come into contact with Quinates at the headquarters and learned what she was up to.

She had a sense of awakening like an initiation.

Obviously, the weak are around me and the people, but I have to stand on the 'top of the mountain' to dream..... In this way, what can you think of? “

Thinking like this, she volunteered to devote herself to this cause, planning to visit the area outside the headquarters and go to see the real situation there.

In this way, she came by water, to a small garrison on the northern border.

Olinka didn't send a letter of visit to the local administrators, and she didn't plan to meet them.... At least not for the time being.

~~~~

The Normen garrison is the northernmost existing garrison of the tribe due north.

It was rebuilt from the original site of the Normen tribe and has a simple fishing dock, which is home to about 200 young and middle-aged trolls.

Olinka, who was accustomed to the hectic conditions of the Honbu area, had never seen such a depression.

The exterior wall of the station maintains the original log fence pattern, and the height of the fence is only 2.5 meters, barely reaching the position of Olinka's chest;

The gap in the fence was so wide that she could easily slip through it with just a slight side.

Entering the interior of the station, of course, Olinka walked through the main entrance and didn't really go through the holes......

The pungent smell of fish came from the dock a hundred meters away, and the male and female trolls in tattered animal skin skirts and shorts were sitting next to the stinky catch, watching the bloody battle in the ring in the center of the pier.

"Hit!

Ha ha!

！ Shoot him!

”

"Keep it up!

”

It was a kind of noise without 'positivity', and dozens of trolls, some with strange transparent bottles in their hands, poured the turbid yellow liquid into their mouths from time to time while shouting, and then continued to pay attention to the ring as they wanted.

There were also trolls, stimulated by the smell of blood and fish, and another pungent smell that Olinka could not say, and with blue blood in their eyes, and engaged in a chaotic 'gut war' in the mud.

Neither the 'pile-driver' nor the 'pile-taker' took copulation as a serious matter, as casual as watching the spice of the ring, as if they were picking up the fruit at hand and eating it.

In the ring, it is not the trolls who are fighting, but two creatures with two horns and hooves under their feet;

Olinka had seen the atlas at school and knew that it was a hornhoofed species from the northern 'Heavenly Plateau', and at the same time she was puzzled, 'How could the hornhoofs be here?' What are they here for? “

Thinking so, she hid her nose and took two steps closer, and asked one of the male compatriots on the periphery,

"Sir, what are you doing here?"

"Don't you have eyes? It's not about watching a gladiatorial fight .... Wait, wait..."

Before his words could completely fall, a horned hoof in the ring was trampled on one by one, and then in the shock, while the opponent had not yet come to his senses, he directly flipped it to the ground.

"Nine! Eight! ..... Three! Two! ....”

The trolls in the audience counted down loudly in unison, and when the number returned to '0', half of the trolls, including the one who had responded to Olinka earlier, cheered loudly.

"Oh!

Victory!

Money!

Give money!

！ ”

Occasionally, another voice is also ringing in the mix,

"Damn, these weak horned hoofs are causing Lao Tzu to lose money!

！ ”

But no matter what they were saying, the movement of their hands was unanimous – picking up the bottle and snorting.

"Hey? Is it a soft egg from the main department? ”

The male, who had spoken earlier, turned around, and the unfamiliar smell of his mouth made Olinka fall backwards;

And the sarcasm in his words made Olinka even more annoyed.

"You! Whew...."

But look at the tattered short skirt on his body, and then look at the spotless white fiber worsted trousers and bib on his body, and the words of rebuttal can no longer be said for some reason....

After a moment of silence, Olinka asked angrily,

"Can I talk to you, sir? I'd like to know what's going on here. ”

The male troll himself doesn't seem to have a bad heart, and after a subconscious stab with resentment, he feels some regret.

Hearing this at this time, he looked around hesitantly, and reluctantly nodded in response,

"Okay... But you soft... Fine trolls, they shouldn't be able to adapt to the taste here, right? Come with me, let's go elsewhere. ”

Olinka embarrassedly lowered the palm that had been covering her nose, and her cheeks were a little purple with a hint of blushness;

She nodded slightly, thanking him for his kindness.

"Hugh! And voila!

And voila! Our Sera Kinsta has fallen in love with the high trolls of our headquarters! ”

"Hahaha!

Don't smoke the little girl to death!

”

The two trolls walked slowly out of the dock one after the other, with shrill whistles and gibberish behind them.

As they strolled through the town, all they saw were simple wooden houses;

There are no factories, no 'workers', no witch doctors;

There are no wood, stone, concrete, no towering witch doctor trees, and even the streets look narrow and muddy.

"Sir, why is it so here.... So...."

Olinka didn't know how to describe it so as not to hurt the feelings of her compatriot.

No matter how tattered it is, this is also the place where he lives, so there should be deep feelings, right? Just like I love Moto..."

She thought so.

"Haha, you want to say dirty? Or is it rundown? ”

"This...."

"There's nothing to hide, that's what it is here."

"Doesn't the manager arrange for construction?"

"Huh? Intendant? Hmph..."

Male troll, no, let's call him 'Uncle Troll'....

Uncle Troll let out a disdainful snort between his noses, his tone filled with disgust and helplessness.

"Management? Two nasty ghosts who think they have won the lottery and are unwilling. They spend all day in the office babbling to write and draw, talking about 'mechanical', 'magic' and 'meditation', they must have dreamed of going back to their headquarters, right? And where would you care about this filthy little place? ..... That's it, let's go in and talk. ”

As they spoke, the two trolls seemed to have walked to their uncle's quarters;

Olinka waited until he pushed the door open, leaned sideways and reached in, then whispered 'thank you' and strode inside.

It was a courtyard overgrown with weeds and broken roof tiles;

There are 10 detached huts in the courtyard, and it seems that there has been no "people" for a long time..... No, the sound of the clatter of the utensils came from one of the rooms....

Here, it seems to be inhabited by trolls.

"Karinates! An apprentice from the headquarters is here!

Don't drink it, come out and see!

”

The uncle shouted at the side, and then there was an even louder cracking and toppling sound in the room;

Immediately afterward, a large hand pushed open one of the doors, revealing a depressed face peeking out of the darkness.

"I would like to introduce you, Karinatea, the purest tooth troll like me! It's also my only remaining comrade-in-arms...."

When the uncle introduced, Olinka was full of pride from the first half, but there was a deep sense of loss and unwillingness in the last sentence.

Olinka didn't immediately ask anything, she bowed slightly, put her right hand on her chest and introduced herself,

"Olinkates, a minor witch medicine from the Headquarters."

"Hey, young Serakin? Where did you find the little one.... Small... The little guy is separated by ~~~, the big men of the headquarters... Separation~, is there finally any news? ”

Karina leaned against the wall, leaning her back against the doorframe, and uttered the words in a staccato voice.

Olinka felt a burst of incongruity from her tone and movements, how can I say this feeling.... It reminded her of a scene she had seen at school.

'Like a lab animal that has been drugged?' But why? “

"It doesn't seem to be...", the uncle replied, staring at Olinka's eyes with a faintly eager gaze, and then shook his head dejectedly under his incomprehensible gaze,

"Not really..... So, what are you doing here, little girl? ”

'Bang! “

The sound of the door slamming on the side was heard, and Olinka searched for a voice, but the place where Karina was standing was empty of trolls, replaced by the door that was once again shut, even trembling slightly.

"Did I offend her?" Olinka asked, puzzled.

"I don't blame you, I don't have to worry about her, Karina is just a little disappointed..... Wait and it will be fine, don't take it too seriously. ”

The uncle shook his head and led the way to another house.

"Let's go, go to me and say, let me hear about you as high... Why did a troll like you come to this place? ”
