Chapter 64 There is some hatred that cannot be forgotten
Liu Ye puffed out her face, her eyes were a little evasive, and she could even feel a little flustered, although she wanted the wind and rain to follow her in Tianyang City, but she was really not very good at communicating with orcs.
Jiang Qiu had good intentions towards the orc race, and he drank saliva and ate meat, and began chatting with the orc woman.
Chatting is what he is good at, Jiang Qiu has a strong energy since he was a child, and he began to deal with orcs at the age of six in order to protect his younger brother, it can be said that orcs gave him a second life, plus the shadow beasts that get along with him day and night, so Jiang Qiu is more familiar than communicating with people.
So, it didn't take long for the orc woman to communicate with Jiang Qiu familiarly, although the accent was a little strange, as long as the speed of speech slowed down, it would not be a problem.
"There are three roundabouts here, this is only the outermost layer, and the Zhuyu grass you want to find is in the innermost layer."
The orc woman knocked on the iron bucket, which was filled with black slime, and she didn't know what it was used for, and then picked up the branch and drew a simple map, a big trap and a small circle, "I haven't been to the innermost island, according to my man, there are guys who call themselves immortals in it, many rare beasts and magical herbs are in it, and there will even be elixirs." ”
Jiang Qiu tore off a piece of dried meat, handed it to the willow leaf who didn't seem to be full, and asked curiously, "Elixir of immortality?" Is it true or false? ”
"Everything has a price, and if you want not to die, you naturally have to pay something more painful than death."
The orc woman seems to have a very thorough view of life and death, "The first layer is where we live as beasts, and the second layer is some gradually worn out guys, if you know what wear and tear is, the third layer is the swaggering peak, it is rumored that there are immortals living in it, and the flowers bloom all year round, but I have only seen humans want to enter, and I have never seen our orcs enter the swaggering peak, except for those who trade with it." ”
From the conversation, Jiang Qiu learned that one of the most important purposes of this trip had already had clues, and it seemed that he was not surprised by the raging white bone soldiers in the Thousand Islands Plain early on, and also knew about the existence of that palace, but their attitude towards their leader was very strange.
I respect the dragon beast very much, but I don't accept him very much.
The wind picked up, and a large area of dark clouds began to drift slowly in the distance, the tent whirred, and the wind that crossed the treetops rubbed against the leaves, which was extremely good, Jiang Qiu thought about what he had seen and heard along the way, and was a little puzzled, "Your leader was defeated once, and the orcs fell apart?" But why are many of you orcs friendly to humans? ”
He has seen the spinning turtle who enjoys the worship of the sun, he has also seen Min who is on the verge of death and does not fight back, and he has also seen the corpse dog, one of the seven spirits, and they have a very ...... attitude towards humans Susceptible.
The orc woman laughed, "Many times, don't you humans also be very kind to the lions and tigers in the zoo, and even take care of them?" ”
"You mean you're lions in the zoo?"
The orc shook his head, "You're the lions, we're the poor guys who were shipwrecked outside the cage and had to go into the cage. ”
After that, no matter how Jiang Qiu talked about it, the orcs no longer communicated too much from this aspect, Jiang Qiu had to change the topic, seeing the orc women constantly stirring the black slime, and asked, "What are these for?" ”
"Dedicated to the Immortals of Zhaoyao Peak."
"Why?"
Before the words fell, Jiang Qiu was the first to look at the door, followed by the orc woman.
The curtain of the tent was lifted, and a tall and muscular figure rushed in, shouting happily: "I am back, and the blessing grass that the immortals gave me has been brought back." ”
It was an orc with vigorous hair and few human features, and the moment he came in, he seemed to occupy the only remaining tent space, and his face was full of joy and pride, but when he saw Jiang Qiu and Liu Ye, he suddenly became vigilant.
"It's a passing guest." The woman took out an herb with seven leaves in the pocket he was carrying around his waist, and shook it in front of Jiang Qiu's eyes, "This is Zhuyu Cao, which can greatly replenish the food source." ”
Jiang Qiu looked at this man in great surprise, thinking that the Thousand Islands Plain really has everything, Zhu Yucao is actually real, and there are immortals?
"This is my man."
The orc woman looked at the vigilant expressions of the two humans, and said with a hearty smile: "You just asked what is the use of this black slime, right?" These are the cores of a kind of beast, generally mostly the identity of plants, they are removed after hunting, and they are dedicated to the immortals, and a full bucket can be obtained from the immortals. ”
She looked at her man with a gentle expression, but she didn't have the vigilance and uneasiness she had when she first met Jiang Qiu and the two, Liu Ye looked at this scene, and wanted to laugh, but she didn't have a reason to look at Jiang Qiu, she seemed to be like this.
Hearing that these two people were humans, the orc man suddenly became nervous, and subconsciously wanted to make a move, but thinking that his wife was on the side, it would be better to be kind, so he no longer put on a fighting posture and glared at the two viciously, but in Liu Ye's eyes, these two orcs were showing affection.
The orc woman patted his arm and signaled him to rest assured, "As for the matter of immortals, don't be too nervous, it's just a group of guys who have lived a long time by relying on special means, and they like to be called immortals, just like you humans are obviously the difference between men and women, so you have to call yourself the four heroes, the best...... This kind of boring title, immortals and such people are of the same nature, and they just call themselves, which is nothing more than stronger. ”
Then the orc woman kicked her own man, and motioned for him to go outside the tent to dispose of the flesh and blood of the beast, although there was a wish that Yu Cao could be very long, but the beast meat could be traded.
The women continued to do their work at the door, taking out a broken knife to scrape the grease from the hides, holding up the skins intact and drying them for some time before the rain fell.
Jiang Qiu looked around, and stumbled upon a few toys that children like to play with, thinking that if there is an orc family, naturally there should be children, and asked, "Eldest sister, what about your children?" It's windy, and it's messy outside, so it's not good to meet those white bones. ”
The orc woman didn't raise her head, her tone and mood didn't change at all, she still spoke with a strange accent, and it sounded like she was telling a story that had nothing to do with her, and she even saw the whole picture as a bystander.
"Dead, three children, all dead."
"The first child, who was a teenager, was hunted by passing hunters and fled back to Tianyang City. The second child did not know where he died, and for many years there was not even a single bone, and the third, who was only a year old and had just learned to walk, was shot and killed by the defenders of Broken Slope City, and had his head cut off as a military achievement. ”
The woman touched her belly, "I hope this child will grow up smoothly." ”
Suddenly, she raised her head, stared at Jiang Qiu and asked, "You guys...... Will humans still beat us? ”
"Probably not, right?" Jiang Qiu hesitated a little, looking at the numb and slightly flat expression on the orc woman's face, and looking at her slightly bulging belly in the direction of her fingers, and accentuated his tone, "Definitely not." ”
There are 60,000 defenders in Broken Slope City, although it is not allowed to be equipped with heavy weapons, and even tanks and helicopter gunships are not allowed, and missiles are not allowed to be deployed as a heavy weapon, but guns can already harvest the lives of many orcs.
As for the issue of war, it has never been decided by one person, but by the heads of the three major powers or the board of directors of Tianyang City, how did he know, but in front of the orcs, and the unborn orc children, Jiang Qiu said categorically.
Liu Ye didn't say anything, just glanced at Jiang Qiu again, and began to remember Jiang Qiu's every move in his heart, unconsciously learning Jiang Qiu's cheekiness and the ability to talk about people and ghosts.
The orc woman was stunned for a moment when she heard his answer, and rarely pulled out an ugly smile, "That's good." ”
Liu Ye looked at her quietly, and suddenly spoke: "Even if the human race doesn't come, aren't you afraid of the white bone cavalry traveling outside?" ”
The orc woman sped up the action of hanging the animal skin, and muttered: "As long as you humans don't drive hundreds of tanks, missiles that can fill the sky, and a large killing weapon that can destroy a city with a single shot, there is nothing else to fear." ”
As night fell, the red fiery clouds on the horizon disappeared completely, followed by a continuous stream of lightning.
The heavy rain came as promised, with a little coolness, the orc couple made a fairly hearty dinner, with salt and chili noodles, and the four of them ate a dinner in silence.
"You can only stay one night, and you must leave here tomorrow morning."
The orc woman put away the knife and added, "Because we are willing to be kind to humans, because of the contract, we can't do anything to humans, but it doesn't mean that all orcs are like this." ”
Jiang Qiu expressed his gratitude and pulled the willow leaves out of the tent.
The rain was very heavy, Jiang Qiu held up the black lotus, hid under the lotus and looked up at the rain curtain, which had a special mood.
Liu Ye raised his head and said with emotion: "It seems that thousands of flying swords have slashed down the world, it's so beautiful." ”
"Master, my mother was killed by orcs, and you know my father, a seed of infatuation, eager to kill all the beasts, but along the way, I found that humans have always bullied beasts, how do you feel that we are the villains?"
Jiang Qiu breathed in the air full of the fragrance of flowers, looked at the hazy swaggering peaks in the rain and mist in the distance, and said, "Do you know the origin of the Thousand Island Plain? ”
This kind of most basic historical knowledge, and the Thousand Island Plain is a hundred miles away from Tianyang City, naturally it is very clear, Liu Ye thought for a moment and said: "Isn't it because the orcs descended like meteors falling to the earth, the demon soldiers appeared, and the seven beast directors and shadow magicians fought here, which caused this land to completely sink to the ground and be formed by the inflow of seawater?" ”
Jiang Qiu looked at her good-looking eyes and said with a smile: "But this place was called the North China Plain before, and it was a good place for birds and flowers, and this place used to belong to humans. ”
Liu Ye looked at Jiang Qiu's eyes suspiciously, "Master, what do you want to say?" ”
"Nothing."
Liu Ye looked at him with a serious expression and said: "Master, I know that you are more friendly to orcs, but beasts and humans are two species after all, just like we humans will never allow creatures such as lions and tigers to infringe on the interests of humans, don't forget the position of humans." ”
Jiang Qiu laughed, and after a slight pause, asked, "What is the position of human beings?" ”
Liu Ye said: "Tianyang City and the three major countries are equal and opponents of each other, but we are all human beings, orcs are not even beasts like lions and tigers, but species from outside the earth, which can be said to be aliens." ”
"Can't aliens live in peace?"
Without waiting for Liu Ye to answer, Jiang Qiu continued: "I think about it, orcs and humans have emotions, have the same way of life, and even form a family, maybe they will be like Asians and Europeans, and add a new kind of human called orcs?" ”
Liu Ye frowned slightly, was silent for a long time, stared at Jiang Qiu, as if he had seen a very strange creature, with sadness and understanding in his eyes, "Master, don't say this in front of me in the future, because hatred will not be let go at will." ”
Jiang Qiu found that the little girl's expression didn't look like a joke, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
After a long time, Jiang Qiu rubbed her little head, "Hate or not, love or not, it's all a personal matter, I won't meddle in your kind of things, but my position is also very clear, become stronger, and then protect the people who deserve to be guarded by me." Orcs or humans, I can't be philanthropic, but I would never kill such orcs who want to live a serious life, at least not yet. ”
Talking about orcs and killing on a rainy night is not such a happy thing after all.
Listen to Liu Ye tell about the evil deeds of the orcs, such as the brutal slaughter of an entire village, and also hear her about how humans take revenge, and also hear what the orcs have done in the upper echelons of society.
Thinking of the purple demon flower that night, poignant and resolute goodbye to the world, he didn't say anything, he just handed over the rainy night to himself, he didn't want to become a shadow beast and live another life, he just wanted to die happily, Jiang Qiu still couldn't change his attitude.
Of course, he won't convince Liu Ye to give up his hatred, just as he won't give up revenge on Yang Ye.
Liu Ye said softly: "My father said that when my mother died, she once knelt down and begged the orcs to bypass, and my stupid mother begged bitterly before she died, saying that she hadn't cooked dinner for me yet, saying that my children couldn't cook, my husband couldn't cook, and they might be hungry, so the orc didn't hesitate to cut off my mother's head and use it as a trophy." ”
Jiang Qiu looked back at the lonely tent in the rain, thinking about the three dead children of the orc women, and the children in her belly who had not yet seen the human world, and said softly: "The orcs have been hidden, and there are ordinary guys who want to live, and many orcs have contracts with them, and they can't fight back if they die......"
"Then I don't care."
Liu Ye said seriously: "I am very grateful to that shadow magician, who trampled the pride and self-esteem of all the orcs on the soles of his feet, forcing them to have to hug their heads and run away when they first came to the earth, so that humans can hunt orcs non-stop for decades, Master, you have inherited the shadow magic, I hope that the master will be even greater than that shadow magician." ”
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and even with the black lotus flower in the way, the soles of the two of them were stained with a lot of mud.
Jiang Qiu looked down at the ankles of his white pants, which were stained with many mud spots, and the rain flowed down the cracks in the ground to the soles of his shoes.
......
......
The sky was completely dark, and the dark clouds floating in the south merged with the dark clouds in the north, turning the three islands including Zhaoyao Peak into a forbidden place that was difficult to enter and exit, and there was no longer a trace of starlight, only the bright galaxy in the eyes of the magician, ignoring all the dark clouds, directly reflected in the eyes of the magician.
On the dark island, near the north, there were several lonely tents, all of which were inhabited by orcs who, like the couple, wanted to live in peace.
Next to the grass of one of the tents, there were several rocks protruding, and suddenly the rocks moved, and out came three members of the Ice Gate who were dressed in blue sky and white snow services, this kind of clothing was particularly conspicuous, like twinkling stars in the dark night.
They are the violent agency of Tianyang City, the secret arm of Tianyang City, specializing in dealing with disobedient magicians or orcs, for this kind of orcs hidden in the wild, they will only feel that they have come to the right place, and they must kill all the orcs.
Before the order to hunt orcs was spread among the citizens of Tianyang, the members of the Ice Gate had already acted in secret, following the director of the Willow Demon to do a lot of black work, and at the same time secretly leaving Tianyang City and hiding all over the world.
Bingmen didn't care if the orcs had a contract or not, just like Jiang Qiu's attitude towards the enemy was exactly the same, the dead enemy was the good enemy.
All orcs deserve to die...... This is the concept that they have been instilled in since childhood, and it can even be said that they are all enemies except for Tianyang City.
Tonight, by chance, they followed Shen Youchu out of Broken Slope City, lost their way, but luckily met a lonely orc, they were really unable to suppress the disgust for orcs in their hearts, as if a person with a cleanliness habit saw that there was an ink blot in the middle of the clean wall, and people with obsessive-compulsive disorder were forced not to step on the gap in the stone slab on the side of the road.
So when the three members of the Ice Gate walked into the tent with a chill like the ice and snow of the mountains, they didn't think about whether they would anger the orcs, they didn't mind the reason for the appearance of the white bone cavalry, and they didn't care whether it would trigger an all-out confrontation between the orcs and humans, but they just fulfilled their obligations.
A few slight voices rang out, and the surprise attack allowed them to successfully subdue the orc, while binding his wife and son.
A captain-like man ripped off his blue sky and white snow coat, walked up to the orc with an expressionless face, and proudly and calmly put his hand on the top of the orc's head, "With your order, impose punishment." ”
A faint black shadow lit up from the middle of his palm, as if he could pass through all the obstacles in the world, and went straight to the heart of the orc, and the unwilling and angry expression of the orc could be seen along the black light.
The wives and children of the orcs fell in pools of blood and died with him.
The three members of the Ice Gate put on their hats and walked out of the tent in silence.
The wind and rain slapped on their bodies, crackling, quickly washing away the blood from their bodies, and there was not the slightest guilt on their faces, only the howling wind witnessed the killing just now.
Under the hood, the slightly pale faces of the three members of the Ice Gate revealed excitement and an unnatural red, and it took a long time to calm down, and then walked into the distance.
It has been thirty years since the arrival of the orcs, and what happened on a rainy night tonight is actually the curtain of a great war in the eyes of later generations, because they have opened the last fig leaf between humans and orcs, but unfortunately this battle is not recorded in any written record, and only through the spread of orc hatred can humans know about it.
Jiang Qiu slept very lightly, and he didn't fall asleep until half past three in the morning.
Prior to this, Jiang Qiu hunted the orcs according to the appearance of the orcs in his memory, obtained their cores, and did not come back to rest until a full bucket was filled.
Suddenly, Jiang Qiu, who had just fallen asleep, woke up and woke up Liu Ye, who was snoring slightly with his mouth open.
"I feel someone approaching, and they are wearing blue sky and white snow suits, they are from the ice gate, what should we do?"
Although he didn't get up, he was woken up in the middle of the night, Liu Ye was still a little confused, and asked, "What should I do?" ”
Jiang Qiu spread out his hands, "If you fight, who will you help?" ”
Liu Ye frowned slightly, she had never considered this kind of problem, as the only daughter of the Willow Demon, she should help the people of Bingmen.
Jiang Qiu smiled and reminded: "We are now completely isolated from the outside world, the fact that you are the daughter of the willow demon may not be your life talisman, but your life talisman, after all, Bingmen obeys your father, but does not belong to your father, and we eat and live with the orcs, if they think that we are colluding with the orcs, it is impossible to explain." ”
Liu Ye yawned and muttered, "Let's just say that we are here to find out the enemy's situation." ”
Jiang Qiu said with a smile: "So you are still a child, you can't fully trust your teammates, and you can't take it for granted that everyone is a good person who is reasonable. ”
The wind and rain continued, the dark clouds hung overhead, and the lightning that swept through them illuminated the excited and calm figures of the three of them, at the door of the tent, it was so powerful and so desperate.
