For Droru Lantrisso Frostwolf, the past five years were probably the best time before he was forced to leave his hometown.

No

Maybe excluding the factors of longing and family affection, I'm afraid it would be better than what I had in my hometown.

The orc tribe is a typical patriarchal society and is extremely short of all kinds of materials. Therefore, women are treated as precious property at best, and as slaves at worst.

In addition to being proud of their combat prowess, property, and territorial extent, male orcs are also proud of the number of women they have and the number of male offspring these women give birth to.

His mother was a slave, but fortunately he was very talented after he was born. During his coming-of-age ceremony, he attacked and killed a young flying dragon on the cliff at the roof of the world. Only then did he stand out from many brothers and was given Lantrexo Frost by his father.

Wolf's surname, and said that he could satisfy his request that was not too excessive.

But when he asked his father to relieve his mother from slavery, he was flatly rejected.

Extremely disappointed, Droru sought help from a shaman (orc priest). The wise old shaman told him that the orc system is based on force and honor. Of course, wealth can also allow the powerful to change.

His mother's fate must be achieved by obtaining more military exploits or finding a rare object with extraordinary power for his father.

The beast god Gruumsh is a martial man and does not allow any sign of peace to appear among his followers. Therefore, the orcs who believe in him believe that in order to survive, they must conquer as many lands as possible, which makes them the leader of all the people who live in them.

Enemies of nearby creatures.

But there are hard-to-gnaw glacial giants in the north, and in the south are human nations that have become stronger and stronger over the years.

And war is never as simple as hunting.

War is always accompanied by blood and fire, and death is of course a common occurrence.

Droru is one of the few orcs who likes to think. He knows that his hunting of a flying dragon is extremely lucky. He does not think that at his age, he can rely on his own bravery to come back alive from the battlefield, especially

It is a battlefield with those humans in the south.

Therefore, he learned about the rich mineral deposits in the Dark Region during a caravan traveling between the surface and the Dark Region. He used the wealth accumulated over the years to exchange for the opportunity to go to the Dark Region with his colleagues. He said goodbye to his mother and took her with him.

His eight closest brothers embarked on this journey destined to have no return.

They went there with the purpose of finding wealth, and in the end they did see the rich mineral deposits in the Underdark.

They were packaged and sold directly by despicable human caravans to the drow in Gelthorn City.

Then I lived a life of being with the ore day in and day out.

There was nothing to say about the boring experience after that. His stupid choices killed several of his brothers one after another. They were either used by the damn drow for magic experiments, or they died of illness while mining ores day and night.

Although after surviving the first few years, Droru, who had become numb to life and death, seized the opportunity and fled along the sewers with a group of gray dwarves who had been plotting for a long time to Zelandia, the place of exile for the drow.

A small gathering place ruled by an organization of duergar runaway slaves.

The days did get better after that. There were no overseers whipping them around the clock to do their work, but they still had to pay two hundred pounds of ore every day as a tax to survive here. Fortunately, for their strong orcs,

The tax of only two hundred pounds per day is not a big burden for them, and they can even use the excess ore to exchange for things other than food.

Because once discovered, he is likely to lose his job.

He can't lose his job, he still has eight children to support

Yes, it's ridiculous.

The drow he once hated so much gave birth to eight children for him, although he didn't know which child was his, or none of them was his.

But so what, in the orc tribe where they have been constantly conquering all year round, it is very common for young men to go out to fight in the early morning and return in the evening. At this time, other brothers are obliged to take over and raise their wives and children.

obligations.

This is also the tradition that allows the orcs to survive.

And the most important thing is that he fell in love with the drow technician!

It was she who, when she was most desperate and confused, used her slender body to warm herself, making her dream back at midnight as if she had returned to that not-so-easy childhood and to her mother's arms.

But in the end, bad luck came. As his condition worsened, he was taken out by the old dwarf Tiger when he was at work that day.

He was severely beaten and lost his job.

Just when he was at his most desperate, the jackal named Hogg appeared and opened a mining company while everyone looked on as a joke.

With the last glimmer of hope, Droru and the others applied for the job.

The jackal boss was unexpectedly straightforward and saw his hidden disease at a glance, and suggested that it would be best to cut it off ruthlessly in order to avoid future troubles. Only in this way could he be hired.

Yes, since the problem can't be solved, then it's better to solve the root cause of the problem. Anyway, if you don't cut it, sooner or later you won't be able to use it anymore.

This jackal is really wise!

Deloru, who had an instant epiphany, tore the thing off without saying a word. Although it hurt a little, as long as he could survive, get a job, and continue to raise his eight children, this pain was nothing!

The jackal boss was also very impressed with his pleasure! He happily gave him a job and kindly asked the kuo-toa to give him some medicine.

He has been a member of Hoag Mining ever since.

He originally thought his life would get back on track by getting a job.

Unexpectedly, just one day later, Hoge Mining would issue the "Employment Reward Policy for Didi Miners."

Droru could feel that with the introduction of this reward policy, miners throughout Zeelandia were overwhelmed for a while.

And he soon realized the dividends from it. With the strong physique of the orcs and the sincere cooperation of the two brothers, they soon won the appreciation of the upper echelons of Hoge Mining with a mining volume that was several times higher than other teams.

.

The more material rewards also allowed the three orc brothers to live a happy life that ordinary people could not imagine.

There is delicious rat meat to eat every day, and gradually there is also fresh fish!

A month later, all three of them were wearing leather armor!

No one in Zeelandia looks down on him anymore, Droru. The drow wife looks at him every day with eyes full of admiration. Every miner who meets him warmly calls him brother!

He has more and more children!

He was so happy that he loved the reward policy that rewarded him as much as he put in, and he loved the life that was worth looking forward to every day.

But soon he realized that his definition of a happy life was still too narrow.

As rails and steam-powered mining mules were gradually laid to every corner of the West Mining Area, they only needed to separate the gravel cut by the steam-powered mining mules from the raw ore, and then carry the raw ore to the nearest rail mining car site.

There will be specialized gray dwarves who will help him weigh the ore he collects and collect it on the mine cart, and then issue a paper card called a 'Hogg Mining Universal Voucher'.

Through these universal coupons, you can exchange for many kinds of good things, including various cooked foods, fine leather armor, weapons made by gray dwarves, and even energy potions from Gelthorn City. Unfortunately, he can no longer

No longer useful.

But no matter what, he found that after losing that thing, although he lost some, he gained more.

He found that his body's flexibility and agility had been greatly improved, and he had more energy to think about problems.

For example, it seems that he has a chance to return to the surface and return to the tribe.

But he was not in a hurry to leave. He felt that there were problems with the customs and rules of his tribe. He fought endlessly every year, but still lacked material.

One day, watching the miners chatting and laughing, he realized it.

They are beastmen and have no business producing.

Therefore, this determines that they can only fight wars through force and maintain the existence of the tribe by robbing other people's fruits.

This way of living seems to be advocated by the beast god Gruumsh, and his actions seem to be determined by his priesthood.

Can he make the beast god change his priesthood?

cannot

So when he went back, nothing seemed to change.

At the same time, a bold idea appeared in his mind. Perhaps only through force can he change his clan.

He was also shocked by his own idea.

Let's think about some good things. The 13th layer of mining area has been opened up. It is an unparalleled exposed rich ore layer!

Almost everyone goes to the 13th floor mining area with the mentality of picking up money.

The three Deloru brothers were no exception. At the same time, he finally made the decision he had been hesitating for a long time.

"Brothers, I plan to save enough property in the 13th-level mining area, and then I will find Manager Tiger's relationship to exchange for a magic item from Gelthorn City, and then return to the surface tribe alone, redeem my mother, and then give her to

Let’s bring Zelandia back together. I may not be able to change the Frostwolf clan, but I can let my mother live a happy life with us. Compared with the tribe, Zelandia is simply like paradise.”

After saying this wish, the three of them entered the deepest part of the 13th-level mining area that was not covered by the railroad tracks.

'boom'

As his mining pick fell, an entire rock wall fell directly, revealing half of his huge face.

At the same time, he seemed to hear some kind of call from somewhere.

‘Dorulu, my child’

"Mother!" Deloru just exclaimed, and countless complicated pictures filled his mind.

"Ahhhhhhhh! No!!!"

"Don't be afraid. You are all miners of Hoge Mining. As the chairman of Hoge Mining, I have the obligation and responsibility to ensure the safety of my employees. Tell me, what exactly did you encounter when mining on the 13th floor?

?By the way, I don’t know your names yet.”

Levi's voice woke Drorru from his memories and the lingering nightmare.

"Dorru, Droru Lantrisso Frostwolf." After introducing himself, Droru began to talk about the terrifying illusion he encountered.

"Boss, at that moment, I seemed to see stars falling, my brother and mother dying tragically in front of me, and myself being crushed into pulp by a powerful force."

"Boss! Can I not join the army? I'm just an ordinary miner! I don't want to die! I, Droru, still have more than sixty children to raise!!!" This man who once threw himself into the palace with his bare hands did not change his expression.

The ruthless man actually hugged Levi's thigh and begged with tears in his eyes.
