The elven court envoys left.

Their arrival didn't make much of a splash, after all, they all had a nezumi wandering the harbor all day. Evelyn, at Annan's behest, only put the messengers in the daily news of the third edition of "Voices of Freedom", and the fourth magical video was ignored.

Annan continued to discuss the filming of the script with Francois. "When the Orcs Come Knocking on the Door" will have a lot of pictures of the city's appearance, and Annan chose Liberty City as the filming location, which can also attract tourists.

Evelyn wanted to join the film crew and was kicked out by Annan. The newspaper needs her more than here.

In the end, it was tentatively decided that Annan would be the director, and Francois and Betty would be the assistant directors. Because it was a feature film that didn't require special effects, Tina was also excluded.

When ready, Annan finally went to the Orc Mansion to talk to Brooke and Dag.

Brooke and Dag's wincing slowed the conversation, and Annan had to take a detour to ease his nerves: "Have you seen the magic images? ”

Brooke said yes, and Dag nodded timidly like a goblin.

"Who do you like best?"

"Lord Annan......," Brooke said.

Dag continued to nod like a goblin.

"What else?" Annan continued to ask gently.

Brooke looked down and thought for a moment: "Freeman......"

Dag stopped nodding, and Annan asked him, "What about you?" ”

"I ...... Well...... I love Martin. ”

Unexpected, reasonable answer, after all, Dag is a little orc, and children always can't take their eyes off playing.

"Betty said they worked hard and were already able to show their emotions."

Annan's praise was heartfelt. Ordinary people can't learn to act in a short period of time, let alone orcs who are considered to be at the bottom of the chain of contempt of the main race.

Because of his emaciation, Brooke suffered a lot of discrimination in the tribe and worked harder.

That's why Annan came to plant a seed for them.

"This is your chance. Orcs are called beasts, and there is no job for you other than mercenaries. You will end up dying fighting wild beasts, and being hired to die fighting your enemies...... You are taking a new path that will change the image of the Orcs in the minds of other races. ”

Even if they have learned the lingua franca, they still don't understand it in school.

Brooke had to ask, "Will Gal be proud of us?" ”

"Gal?" Annan asked rhetorically, and said in the apprehension of the two orcs, one large and one small, "It is not qualified enough." In the future it will look up to you. And you will be proud of the tribal chiefs, the clan chiefs. ”

Brooke and Dag's brown skin was flushed with excitement.

Annan took the opportunity to get down to business: "Betty said you can't act like a father and son? Why? ”

"My lord, orcs never care about children." Brooke even spoke louder, "We were all brought up by our mothers, and we don't know who our fathers are. ”

This time, it makes more sense to let the orcs play the leading role.

The reproduction of orcs relied on sacrificial rituals that lasted for several days. After the, it was difficult for the pregnant orcs to know who their husbands were. Only the occasional orc with wizard blood will exclaim: it turns out to be a warlock.

"Then let's live together." Annan patted Dag's onion head: "Dag, you treat Brooke as your father, and I will tell your mother to cooperate." Brooke, treat Dag as your son. ”

"Yes, sir."

Annan came out of the orc mansion and found that the sky that had been overcast since early morning had finally fallen raindrops.

"I still don't understand."

Back at the City Lord's Mansion, Olmedo rested in the living room, or waited for Annan. "Why do you want orcs to be the protagonists?"

"Didn't I say that?"

After saying that, Annan remembered that he had only told the "elf mentor".

Annan sat across from Olmedo, and the maid, Abby, came over and asked what they wanted.

"Bring me a glass of water."

He had just talked to the two orcs for a long time.

"Black tea."

After the maid Abby went out, Annan continued: "There are many reasons. One

"The first reason is contrast. We are familiar with the family affection of human beings, and the family affection of elves and dwarves is not unfamiliar. But we have never heard of the fatherly love of orcs. ”

"The second reason, Gar, made me realize their superiority in strength. I've also learned that orcs rarely know who their fathers are, and that they naturally lack paternal love, so it's easier to move them with a story about orc's fatherly love. ”

"You want to train fighters?"

Olmedo realized what Annan wanted to do.

"Orcs are professionals when they become adults, and strong orcs like Gal are even more elite. This is the right solution to our lack of foundation. ”

"But they believe in orc gods."

"Where are they?" Annan spread his hands.

Olmedo was slightly silent. She was a shallow believer in thirty-three churches, but she had never heard of a god responding to them......

Annan continued: "And it doesn't matter, the Temple of the Gods is almost finished, and it's a big deal to move the orc gods in there when the time comes. ”

"Is it appropriate?"

"I promised Deira to move the spider queen into the temple of gods, what are a group of beast gods?"

Speaking of which, the envoys have returned, and Deira is still in prison, not knowing what she is up to.

The maid Abby brought black tea and water, and Annan took a sip: "Fourth-"

"Can you still make it up?"

"How can you say that, this is an excuse, this is a reason!"

"Good, good...... You say. ”

Olmedo holds a black tea. Outside the window, the drizzle was hazy, with a slightly cool humidity.

Gem Bay is a great place to be. There is no winter in the north, nor the heat of the south. After the water from the forest mountain range was diverted and the manure treatment plant was completed, it is being transformed into a real home

"I want all intelligent beings who yearn for peace to live in Liberty City and do what they want to do. And a one-man city-state is not conducive to attracting aliens. ”

"So you knocked on the door with When the Orcs Knocked?"

"Orcs are just the beginning. In the future, there will be magical images starring elves, dwarves, demons, vampires, and maybe rat people......"

Olmedo, who was still thinking about Annan's ambitions, was dragged out: "Nezumen? How do they play the main role and initiate the plague that exterminates the world? ”

"That's not in line with Liberty City values."

Annan kept Olmedo secret for the time being. Olmedo thought that Annan hadn't thought about it yet, and he thought that it was indeed a real, dominating the giant of this era...... "Cat and Mouse".

Annan has no doubt that when "Cat and Mouse" appears, it will profoundly affect the continent of Allen for hundreds of years. To put it mildly, in the future battle with the nezumi, the soldier will even pull the trigger a tenth of a second slower.
