22. Let's make a little more noise!
"Uh......h I really can't drink it anymore, it's going to kill you......"
The girl leaned down on the table tiredly, and waved weakly to protest to her friend who still wanted to pour wine on her: "I am different from Yun Yao, I can't drink much......"
"I see if you still have the strength to complain to me, it doesn't look like 'I can't drink much'. Just beside her, a fox woman with a big fluffy tail turned her head to look at the scattered wine bottles on the ground, "If you are seen by others like you, you will be complained about hypocrisy, Lingxian~"
"Spare me. β
The girl who was called Lingxian didn't even seem to have the strength to get up at the moment, and the rabbit ears were lying on her stomach like that.
This so-called "amount of alcohol" is just because of being pit too much by a certain meow girl, and gradually exercising the anti-alcohol patience! Although she can drink a lot, but Lingxian does not have any love for the wine itself, and she is dizzy when she smells alcohol, even if she can drink again, she will not be satisfied in the process of drinking.
So in essence, the increase in alcohol consumption only extended the time limit for Reizen's sin.
"I'm just drinking, for me, if the alcohol concentration is greater than seven degrees, we basically can't feel the difference...... So let me go, Yuzuki. β
I don't know why this friend of Lu Dao asked himself to drink for the first time today, and Lingxian, who couldn't shirk his friend's invitation, could only bite the bullet. But what she didn't expect was that this fox could actually drink so much! Even if Yun Yao drank so much wine, he would be a little drunk, but Xi Zi's face was not very red.
In a nutshell. What a big mistake!
"I really can't help you......" Xizi sighed helplessly.
The wine in the bottles on the ground was made by me a long time ago, and it had been stored for many years. Today, Kaifeng specially called Lingxian...... Although Reisen doesn't know how to drink and drinks it as plain water, Yuki can't blame Reizen. After all, I didn't figure it out first......
It's better to say that she can't tell Reisen that these are all specially brewed wines by her, otherwise with Reisen's temperament, she will definitely cry and apologize to herself, right?
"It's a shame that the two of us haven't seen each other for a long time. Do you want to get drunk together without going home......"
If you don't get drunk, you can't go home......
The corners of Lingxian's eyes swept over the dozen wine bottles on the ground, and she felt a sigh of shame in her heart - with the amount of alcohol shown by Xi Zi, if you want not to get drunk and not return. I'm going to die, right? Even if you drink alcohol and get alcohol poisoning, you can't die, but the feeling of a hangover is no different from death for Reizen.
"Then you'd better look for Yunyao...... By the way, you called me back this time. Why didn't you see Yun Yao?"
If Yun Yao is there. You won't be poured into what you are now, will you?
β......β
It doesn't seem right, if Yun Yao is also there, it will probably develop into a double amount of wine poured into him......
"Reisen, in your impression, have I ever disturbed your cultivation?"
Yushi did not directly answer Reizen's question.
"Huh, this ...... Although Yun Yao has come to tease me many times when I am practicing, he just came to tease me. β
In Lingxian's impression, Xizi has always been a very calm and considerate person, like Yunyao's heartless behavior. Xizi really hasn't done it yet.
Could it be that this has anything to do with Yun Yao's absence now?
"Yun Yao should have talked to you before. About our Tri-Trinity Alliance...... No, it should be said that it is a merger thing. Xi Zi took a sip of wine and said slowly, "I'm busy, so like you, I also refused to serve as the patriarch, and now, the patriarch of our three clans is Yun Yao." β
"That's not a surprise. β
Although he was not in the village at the time, Reisen also knew the other two clans - they were three clans, but in fact they were no different from a family. It is only reasonable that the position of this patriarch will fall to the idle Yun Yao.
If it is himself or Xi Zi to take the position of this patriarch, there will be no objections, but after all, an idler who has been wandering for a long time and an otaku girl who hardly goes out much, it is no problem to let Ling Xian beat people, and it is easy for Xi Zi to calculate people, but it is still inferior to Yun Yao in this regard.
"Yun Yao, she's gone to the orcs now. β
"What are you going to do there?"
The fact that Xi Zi said casually made Ling Xian frown.
Among the three of them, Reisen, who had the best temper, was the one who had the most hatred for orcs. The reason is that when the alliance was established with the orcs, those guys actually attracted the attention of their own people - it is normal for the cute and shy rabbit girls to be coveted, but at that time, the orcs actually proposed to "tribute" a certain number of rabbit girls every year...... Because of the three tribes, the rabbit tribe is the most vulnerable, so pick up soft persimmons and pinch them, right?
Why don't you make this request to the fox and cat people? If you think about it, you can understand it...... After all, the guy who made such an excessive request didn't want to be wiped off his neck or silently cursed by the unbearable cat girl one day - because the rabbit is the weakest and least threatening, right?
No matter how you think about it, it can't be with the heart of treating these girls well, right? Although the rabbit is M, it will kick people when it is excited!
After educating these orcs who have always admired the use of strength to convince people with an iron fist, this requirement will be gone...... However, Reizen's ill feelings towards orcs ended in this way.
Although Reizen himself knew that it was just a crooked idea fought by a handful of orcs, once the favorability dropped, it would be difficult to climb to the sky if he wanted to come back......
"Something happened over there...... It's a lot of trouble, and it even affects us. Although I have cleaned up the anomalies around us, you also know that I can't leave here in order to stabilize the barrier, so. I can't do anything about the situation outside of our homeland. β
"What the hell is going on?"
Reizen also heard it, presumably this time Yuzushi called herself back. It's just because of this so-called "trouble"? It's just that what is the situation that makes Xi Zi and Yun Yao care so much......
"With the orc capital as the center, a considerable area of contaminated magic has been affected. β
β...... Magic. β
Reisen unconsciously clenched his fists. Whether it's for her, or for Yun Yao or Xi Zi, this is not a term that can evoke wonderful memories.
"Is it just a tainted magic element?"
"If it's pure magic, that's fine...... But that is already a miracle that cannot be reproduced, right? The most powerful magic elements have been used by the Holy Spirit to construct the moon and protect the land in the starry sky far from the earth. β
"That's right. β
Reizen, who felt a little excited. For the first time, he took the initiative to pour himself a glass of wine and drank it all.
"If there's anything you need my help with, we'll talk about it tomorrow. Today. I'll have a drink with you first...... Said okay, don't get drunk and don't go home. β
"Bunny, when did you become so empathetic and emotional!?"
"How I can't read the atmosphere in your eyes, how low the emotional intelligence is......"
==============
"Ahem, ahem......"
Aisha blushed and slapped her chest vigorously. When the wine was in the mouth, Aisha felt that something was wrong. But when she came back to her senses. The liquor had already passed through his throat, and in a moment of excitement, some of the liquor choked into his trachea, and the hot sensation continued to burn his airways.
For example, Yun Yao, a wine jar that can be drunk at a glance, really can't drink whatever she wants from the beginning, if there is only this kind of strong wine in the orc's tavern, then the orcs are really a terrible race!
Aisha quickly used her magic to create some water in the cup and drank it.
"Sure enough...... I'm still not a good drinker......"
A bit of a miscalculation, Aisha never expected that the wine on the orc's side would be much rougher than the human tavern's.
Three cups of cold water on the stomach. Aisha still felt a burning pain in her throat - she hadn't tried the taste of spirits much because she had no love for alcohol, and she was cheated the first time.
It's incompatible......
"Hmm. I suddenly remembered that Lingxian didn't know much about drinking, but because I poured too much, I can drink a little now, Aisha, have you lived for so long and are still so indifferent to alcohol?"
"I'm a sweet-toothed person, and even though I'm not averse to clear coffee, I still like milk and sugar cubes...... Well, the exception is tea, but other than that, I prefer sweeter drinks......"
Aisha said as she pulled out the pear juice she had bought from the Minotaur's village from her space.
"I have no love for anything that contains alcohol except for wine. β
"That's not a bar......
There were really some surprises, Yun Yao didn't expect Aisha to be so bad at drinking, and he couldn't let Aisha go crazy with juice, right......?
"In that case, let's get down to business. I promised you something to be delivered to you as my 'tuition', Aisha, do you have anything you want?"
"Shall I first verify the actual utility of what I have given you?"
If you don't inspect the goods, you will pay the money, this cat girl is really confident.
"I know you wouldn't do thatβI'm not going to read a lot of people, but I'm confident in my instincts, Aisha, you're a little ill-intentioned, but you're not so boring. β
"Then you're welcome...... When I came this time, I wanted to buy some falcon feathers, but I searched the market and couldn't find them. I don't know if you know where you can buy these feathers?"
"Eh, don't you just ask me?"
"The 'price' of the things I give is definitely not comparable to what I need, and I can't do it if I blackmail you the first time. β
I can say that there is no cost on my side, although when Aisha usually earns living expenses, the things sold are almost bargains with no labor costs, but now, Aisha is really embarrassed to slander Yunyao like this - how to say, it can be regarded as an eye-catching friend who meets by chance, right?
"It's a pity, whether you asked me directly. I still want specific information, I don't have it here. Yun Yao shrugged helplessly, "If you had come a few years earlier. There won't be any problems like the one now. It's just that in the past two years, it is absolutely impossible to see the feathers of the rock falcon in the market of the orcs. β
"Why is this happening?"
Yun Yao looked around and made sure that no one was eavesdropping on the conversation between the two of them, and then whispered: "The feathers of the rock falcon are high-priced export goods that are scarce in quantity but in extremely high demand, and in the past two years, the orcs have been very short of military spending...... You get the idea, right?"
Aisha nodded knowingly.
Is this controlled by the state? Yes. The value of a falcon's feathers is almost as valuable as a diamond in another plane.
"Orcs...... Right now, it's a headache. β
"There are a lot of people who think like you. It's just that they're much more radical than you. "In the last decade or so, the orcs have been so unpleasing that even their allies feel a little overwhelmed, let alone the races that don't treat orcs very well in the first place.
The reason why Aisha needed to prepare a reliable identity on the surface. It's because the orcs have this certain hostility towards all alien races. Entering the city will result in a detailed registration of each person who is not of the orc race. This is also a matter of no choice, you must know that the Orc is not very friendly to the races of the Orcs, and there are still a lot of jokes used to scare children in human society, that is, to let the Orcs play the villain.
Of course, the merchant is an exception to this creature anyway. If there is a 10 percent profit, capital is ready to move, and there is a 100 percent profit. Capital gets carried away, and with 300 percent profit, then the gallows can be doneβbased on this. As long as the orcs don't force their goods and let them trade normally, they don't care if the orcs are friendly to human friends or not. On the other hand, orcs need some important goods and will not do anything to these merchants, while humans also need some resources from orc territory, so trade between the two continues as usual despite the hostile state.
As for the elves, don't expect them to do business in orc territory......
It used to be like that, and after the orc's policy was no longer moderate over the years, there was basically no one else in the orc's territory except for the caravan.
"If Aisha wants the feathers of the Rock Falcon, I'd suggest you try your luck in another two years, right?"
"What a shame. β
When Yun Yao said this, Aisha had to dispel this idea.
"Something else I can offer?"
"Forget it, anyway, it's just a friendship, you don't think I've paid a lot......, right?"
It's already a pleasure to be able to meet a friend in a foreign land, Aisha still knows what it means to be content, originally, Yun Yao would have such a proposal for such a reason, isn't it?
"That's right, okay, let's not talk about that, drink...... Uh, let's have a toast......"
Aisha has no more wine in her glass...... But for juice, clinking glasses are always fine, right?
Just as Aisha raised her glass, the door to the tavern was suddenly pushed open.
Rushing in was a dozen or so heavily armed orc warriors. Not to mention the well-made armor and weapons, the bloody murderous aura exuded from them alone directly washed away the impetuous and noisy atmosphere in the tavern.
Without saying a word, the orcs grabbed their weapons and surrounded all the non-orc races in the tavern.
"From now on, the whole city will be under martial law! All outsiders must be controlled and inspected! No unauthorized leave until the inspection is over, otherwise it will ......."
If it happened in human society, when such threatening words were spoken, most of them would cooperate with the flashing of their swords to shock people's hearts, but these orc warriors didn't need to make such superfluous movements at all, just swept their eyes over the crowd that was in turmoil, and those who were excited consciously swallowed the words in their mouths.
No one doubts whether the unspoken threat is real or fake.
Of course, Aisha and Yunyao, who are also "outsiders", are also "taken care of" - but because the two of them don't seem to have much combat effectiveness, and they don't make any protests or dissatisfaction, they are not treated as rough as some people who don't know how to advance or retreat. It has to be said that these very well-behaved orc warriors have temporarily avoided the fate of being beaten and beaten...... Of course, only temporarily.
"What happened?"
"What about the ghosts...... But seeing that they have all dispatched the Praetorian Guards of the Royal City, it seems that it is really not a trivial matter?"
From the markings on the armor of these orc warriors, Yun Yao roughly guessed where these orc warriors belonged.
But neither Aisha nor Yun Yao was ready to act rashly nowβthe situation was unclear at the moment, and it was unknown why the Orcs were so nervous. And the two of them are also very interested in the development and changes in this, and before that, it would be bad if it caused unnecessary trouble.
Because, no matter how you look at it, it's like you're catching some "criminals". If this is a mess, although no one can help these two aunts and grandmothers, but for a considerable period of time after that, the big hat of the rebels will really be pressed up.
They weren't going to share their hatred with the real offenders.
After controlling the situation in the tavern, the leading orc warrior said to his deputy: "You take three people, and after you have joined up with the people of the fourth squad, immediately go to the hotel in the opposite corner! If anyone resists, depending on the severity of the situation, you can choose whether to kill on the spot!"
As soon as these words came out, Aisha and Yun Yao's faces immediately changed.
Because the hotel that the orcs are talking about is the hotel where they stayed, and Liliah and Little Dream are still there!
If it's a human being, it's okay to say, but if it's an orc, it's really hard to say whether they can accurately judge what the "severity of the plot" is, it's not good, some orcs who are calmer know it, and some orcs only have two concepts of "resistance" and "non-resistance" at all - the former is killed directly, and the latter is temporarily guarded.
And the hideous smiling face of the deputy team who can see the order, it's not good, he just knows the meaning of the order, and he wants to pretend to be stupid and take this opportunity to vent his murderous nature.
Aisha and Yun Yao, who were a little worried about the character of their companions, glanced at each other, and both received positive looks in each other's eyes.
- You can't leave them alone!
"If we make a big deal out now, you won't have a problem, right?"
Yun Yao asked Aisha quietly.
"I'm a little worried that we're just going to make a big deal out of it now, and if we don't leave it alone for a while, we're going to turn it upside down......"
"That's fine. β
After receiving Aisha's affirmative reply, Yun Yao grinned.
"Aisha, you don't want to do anything for a while, your identity is human, even if you are innocent, it will be difficult to make something good at this time, so leave it all to me. My identity can save a lot of follow-up troubles later......"
He is the patriarch of the cat clan, and he is being slashed against by a sword in the territory of the orcs, is he not even allowed to fight back? Reisen beat down the negotiating envoys at that time, and nothing happened.
"It just so happens that I'm also upset, can I take the opportunity to vent?" (to be continued......)
