"What won't be sold?" the orc was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, "You mean ......"

Morris smiled, lowered his voice and said, "How is it, do you want to have some?"

"This ...... This ......" Sarut was visibly hesitant. Of course, he knew that the hands of the people were short, but in the end he couldn't resist the temptation, looked around, and saw that his subordinates didn't notice, so he nodded faintly.

Morris was prepared, and quickly took out a small paper bag from his arms and secretly stuffed it into the orc's hand: "This is the share of five times, you will be happy to the sky, and there are no side effects other than that, and the shaman priests can't see the problem." But when you use it, you have to act like it a little bit so that no one can see it. ”

"I understand, I understand. Sarut hurriedly put away the small paper bag, then pretended to walk around the convoy and looked around, then waved his hand and shouted, "It's okay, let it go!"

As for the other contraband that might exist, the orc believed that Maurice would not be stupid enough to be caught, and that even if it did come to light, he would have a way to get himself out. As long as...... That thing really works.

The convoy was soon back on the road.

After passing through the canyon, the surrounding scene suddenly changed. The stone forests are gone, replaced by brown plains.

Here, it is as if everything is brown, brown soil, brown plants, brown distant mountains.

The orcs call this the Ancestral Wilderness, while the humans call it the Barren Land.

At this time, Leo also got out of the carriage, changed into horses, and rode forward while listening to Maurice introduce the customs.

After a while, he asked with some curiosity, "What did you just give that orc?"

Morris knew that his small actions couldn't hide Leo's feelings, and he didn't hide it, and said casually: "It's a powder called Star Brigade Grass." ”

"Star Brigade Grass, pain reliever?" Leo had heard of this herb. It also made him even more confused. Because that thing can't heal injuries other than pain, and it doesn't have any other effect, but the orc just now seemed to care.

Maurice was already surprised by Leo's erudition, and replied with a smile: "That's right, it's for pain relief, which is very important for orcs." ”

After a pause, he continued: "You may not know, orcs and us humans. Even other races are completely different, they only worship the strong, and now there are not many wars, and if you want to prove that you are strong, there is only one way - duel!"

"Duel......" Leo nodded thoughtfully, motioning for the other party to continue.

Morris knew this very well, and said: "Duels are not only about deciding the strong, but also everywhere in the lives of orcs. This is also their method of resolving disputes. Like the orc squad leader just now, if he wants to go one step further and be promoted to squadron leader, he must pass a duel. Defeat the original squadron so that it can be replaced. ”

Leo thought for a moment and asked, "But in that case, won't the squadron leader retaliate?"

"No, it won't. This is the orcs. Although they are vulgar, they value honor more than life. Losing a duel is a big deal to practice slowly. Regain your dignity. But once the revenge is discovered, he and his family will be severely despised and punished, and they will not be able to continue their lives. Maurice shook his head, apparently unable to comprehend the customs of the orcs.

Leo understood: "In other words, with the pain-relieving Star Brigade Grass powder, they will be able to last longer in the duel, but isn't this cheating?

Morris smiled: "It's cheating, it's not okay, it depends on what the individual thinks." After all, this thing doesn't have any strength increase, it is only useful for duels with similar strength, and if there is a huge difference in strength, even if you don't feel pain, it is useless. ”

An hour later, the convoy entered a town surrounded by stones.

It's said that it's a town, and it's a bit of a lift. There are no stone streets on the ground, just the most primitive dirt roads. Surrounded by low stone houses, you can also see some orcs and other races passing by.

However, there are a lot of shops here, and it is obvious that they exist for commercial trade.

Soon, the convoy arrived at the door of a stone house that Morris had previously booked.

After instructing his men to unload, Morris introduced, "This is our final stop. I'll sell my goods or exchange them for orc-produced things. By the way, Mr. Minethiel, where are you going next?"

It dawned on him that it seemed like he was asking this question for the first time.

"I'm going to travel through the barrens to the Ash Valley. Leo replied truthfully.

"That's right......" Maurice hesitated.

Seeing him like this, Leo wondered, "What's wrong?

Morris smiled bitterly: "It's really a bit of a problem, my pass can only take you here, if you want to move on, I'm afraid it's not that easy." If you're treated like a spy, that's bad. ”

"Haven't humans ever entered the hinterland of the orc tribe before?" Leo also had a headache.

But now that he has arrived here, he has no way back, it's a big deal to lurk in the past, he is a mage, as long as he doesn't attract the attention of super strong, it shouldn't be a big problem. The premise is to get an accurate map, but don't rush into the Western Exile like the last time, only to get stuck in it because you got lost. As for the nose ring of the son of the orc chieftain, he definitely didn't want to take it out unless he had to.

God knows what the attitude of the orc chief is.

"Yes, there is, but very little. Morris replied, and suddenly something came to mind.

"Wait a minute, I'll go and inquire, there should be a way. As he spoke, Morris patted his horse and walked towards a slightly larger stone house not far away. “

After a while, Morris returned, but his face was a little worried.

"What's wrong?" asked Leo.

Morris replied, "There is a way, but it is still necessary to follow the rules of the orcs." ”

Leo instantly understood, "It's not going to be a duel, is it?"

Morris nodded and said, "Yes, I just went to the orc captain who manages this place to inquire. They will grant passes to some of the best foreign players who wish to sharpen themselves, provided that they defeat the best of the three orc brigades. ”

"It's better to have a way than no way, what kind of duel method, you tell me in detail. Leo smiled. Ordinary soldiers of orcs, no matter how strong they can be. If you can't even defeat them, let alone go to the Supreme Forest.

Morris also knew that he couldn't say anything about moving Leo, so he replied: "The process is very simple, wheel battle, defeat three orc masters in turn, and their strength is also stronger the further they go. I didn't ask anything specific, but if you're going, they should explain it in detail. ”

"It seems that it is necessary to pay attention to the distribution of mental power. Hmm, I don't know if I'm allowed to use magic equipment, I'll have to ask tomorrow. Leo thought to himself.

............

After a good night's rest, Leo didn't study magic anymore, but let his body and mind be at their best.

Early the next morning, following Morris's instructions, he arrived at the stone room of the orc captain, but did not take the Valkyrie with him. Since it was a duel, it was definitely impossible for the orcs to allow the Valkyrie to play.

Didn't wait to enter the door. A green-skinned orc stopped him and asked in a rough voice, "Human, what do you want to do?"

Leo didn't care about the other party's attitude, but replied calmly, "I'm looking for the captain here." Apply for a pass. ”

"Permits, you?" the orc looked at Leo, who was a little emaciated, with a look of disbelief.

"Yes, that's me. Leo nodded earnestly.

"Haha, look at your little arms and legs. One slap in the face can knock you apart. We don't welcome weak birds here, so let's go back where we came from. The orc said with a grin.

Leo smiled and asked, "What if I have to go in?"

The orc measured the tangled muscles in his arm. Disdainfully: "Then start with my ......"

Before he finished speaking, a cold light flashed.

"Huh!"

The sharp arcane sword has been placed on the orc's neck with the mystery of ice and fire of Tirion. The cold and burning sensation continued to invade, causing a layer of cold sweat to break out on his back in an instant.

"This human ...... Sword...... ...... so quickly" He was surprised in his heart, and at the same time secretly affirmed that the other party had some strength, and he might not be an opponent.

The sword just now, it was really fast, very fast, very fast!

You know, this is the swordsmanship that Leo learned from the Sanctuary warrior Ryan, and what he pursues is the ultimate speed. But in fact, apart from this move and a few other simple combat skills, he doesn't have any other powerful combat skills, just hoping to overwhelm the opponent from the momentum and fool him through.

Fortunately, it was impossible for this lowly-ranking orc soldier to see this.

Looking directly into the other party's eyes, Leo's voice turned cold: "Can I go in?"

"Yes...... Can...... ......" the orc stammered in reply, and leaned back slightly, trying to avoid the arcane sword's blade.

"Thank you. Leo put away his coldness and smiled.

It seems that Morris's statement is not wrong, and his guess is completely correct, orcs only worship the strong, as long as they can show their strength in front of them, they will be respected.

Entering the stone house, Leo immediately saw a taller and stronger orc holding a beast leg and eating, it should be the captain here, and next to him, there were several orcs also eating, it seemed that it was their breakfast time.

Before Leo could speak, the orc who had just stopped him had already run over and whispered a few words in the ear of the orc captain.

The orc captain raised his eyelids, looked around Leo, and said, "Human, you want to get a pass?"

"Yes, I heard that there are many strong people here, and I want to hone my strength and challenge the strong ones. Leo said nonsense.

This was what made the orc captain feel his heart, and he threw the beast's leg on the table and said in a deafening voice: "That's right! There are many strong people! I can't imagine that you humans are not all soft eggs! Then let's start! Gumian, you are the first to go!"

Seeing that an orc who was eating also put down his food and stood up with his hands up, Leo was speechless.

These orcs are too direct, right, they still ask anything clearly, and they don't introduce the rules, so this is about to start?

There was no way, Leo had to preemptively say: "Wait a minute, there are some things I still need to understand." ”

"What do you want to know?" the orc captain furrowed, revealing some displeasure.

"The rules of the duel, can you use ......?"

But before Leo could finish speaking, the orc captain directly interrupted: "There are no rules! Whoever lies down first will lose!"

"Okay. As soon as Leo nodded, the orc named Gumian had grabbed an axe and rushed over with a roar.

Judging from his speed, Leo could tell that this warrior's strength should be around the second level, only a little stronger than the one who guarded the door just now, but the strength of orcs is often greater, and they may be able to approach the third level.

Without thinking, the incantation was recited, and a cloud of cold air appeared under the orc warrior's legs, which immediately made his muscles freeze and his movements much slower.

"Grandma, a spellcaster, didn't you tell the fuck that he wielded a sword?" the orc captain slapped Leo on the head and nearly knocked him unconscious.

"I ...... I ...... "Where did that orc dare to resist the captain, he trembled with fright, and he couldn't finish his words."

At this time, the orcs who were affected by the "Cold Prison" suddenly let out a loud roar, and the muscles of their legs suddenly expanded, and they directly broke through the shackles of magic, and their speed returned to normal, even a few points faster than before.

Leo didn't know if it was a bloodline ability or some other special skill, but he didn't have time to think about it right now, so the second spell was quickly completed and cast.

The "Magic Missile" takes shape at a very fast speed, like a white ball of light.

And there is no doubt that this orc has no previous experience in fighting against the caster, and when he saw the magic missile, he did not dodge or dodge, intending to resist hard, and at the same time use a lose-lose attack to directly attack Leo.

Under the guidance of mental power, the magic missile accurately hit the orc's head.

"Bang!"

In the violent collision, the orc's head fell back violently, his body lost his balance, and he fell heavily to the ground, rolled his eyes, and passed out directly.

Of course, with his knowledge, it is impossible to make a famous watch, how can a light bullet that does not seem to be a threat be harder than his own head.

The whole process only took three seconds, and the first orc was solved. In fact, Leo can make the scene a little more bloody, but without passing on someone's ground, there is no need to do such a desperate thing.

And this time, the orc captain looked at Leo with a different gaze. (To be continued......)
