After Costart disappeared, Ronald immediately wanted to ask why he didn't do the same for himself. After all, the spell to control the air flow was different from [Original Sin of Jealousy], and there was no restriction that it could only act on oneself.
However, after thinking about Costart's new personality, Ronald still didn't say much.
In this way, one person changes his appearance and another person disappears.
The two of them each had their own ideas, so they walked towards the settlement ahead.
Ronald walked around the hill in front of him, stepped on the vibrant grass under his feet, and soon walked into it.
- Almost no one noticed Ronald's arrival.
Apart from gathering together to form tribes, these orcs are quite backward in other aspects. There is no obvious division of responsibilities among people, and no one is even responsible for guarding the settlement.
Ronald only ensured that he was not so conspicuous and did not take the initiative to talk to people. He actually visited this settlement very smoothly. Everything went smoothly.
Especially on top of this success.
It was he who could understand the language of these orcs.
The language and characters used by these guys are probably inherited from some kind of human language system, and language literacy is also effective.
Ronald successfully collected a lot of information just by taking a walk.
First of all, this place is called Orel, and it is the land under the rule of a certain monarch.
The orcs with ancient customs respect and obey the king, but they usually do not assume responsibilities such as taxation. Especially this settlement is the most bordering tribe on the land of Orel.
Under the influence of many factors, an extremely low degree of regularity is reflected here.
Even the settlements themselves were gradually formed because group living was more conducive to survival.
"This scale is not small at all..."
After getting certain information, Ronald probably knows that the scale of this world is probably not under the [Infinite Negative Number Field].
He did not doubt whether the ancient holy capital was here.
But finding the location of the Holy Capital here may not be possible in a short time.
Look at the orcs in the surrounding settlements.
At least among these isolated and marginalized people, Ronald didn't think he could get any news about the Holy City.
"Sir, what should we do next?" At this time, Costat asked cautiously in the air.
"One last try, and then we'll leave." Ronald stated his plan, and then added, "Try not to reveal our arrival as much as possible."
After saying this, Ronald continued to take action.
He has heard a lot of information while walking here, so he naturally knows that those people have a higher status and are suitable for gathering information.
So he picked a guy with a head that looked like an owl and seemed quite pleasing to his eye, and Ronald walked over.
As Ronald's target, the orc was naturally aware of his approach.
Then the dark eyes surrounded by a circle of yellow immediately locked onto Ronald.
Just don't wait for it to ask.
The command voice with the power of words and spirits sounded in this guy's ears:
"Follow me and don't attract anyone else's attention."
"..."
The orc's eyes froze, completely unable to resist Ronald's verbal control. Then he followed Ronald's voice calmly and followed Ronald's voice out of the settlement without leaving a trace.
Ronald didn't want to attract attention.
So they didn't go too far, they just found a low-lying spot on the side of the hill, and then started their final inquiry.
"Holy City of Mankind—have you ever heard of this term, or something similar?" Ronald asked.
"Unheard of." The orc immediately objected.
"Why do you live in the world of Ge Zhonglin?" Ronald asked the second question.
"We..." The orc paused for a few seconds. He had never thought about the meaning of living here. In the end, he could only shake his head and say an answer that was not an answer, "Our ancestors have been living here for generations."
"..."
Ronald didn't expect to get such important news, but the orc's reaction still made his heart sink.
After adjusting his mentality slightly, Ronald continued to speak:
"So, do you know Song Zhonglin?"
The orc didn't hesitate at all this time:
"have no idea."
"..."
Don’t you even know what’s going on in the world you live in?
At this point in the conversation, Ronald had basically given up on the possibility of getting more information, so he asked the final question:
"Where is the center of Orel, where your king is located? How far is it from here, and how to get there?"
During this inquiry, the orc finally gave Ronald some valid information.
It pointed inland and said with confidence:
"Go this way. Depending on how fast people travel, it will take about two weeks to a month and a half to arrive."
Ronald nodded with satisfaction.
The travel time span given by the other party is very large, but considering the different shapes of orcs in the settlement, individual differences will inevitably lead to such results.
Calculating the speed of Ronald and Costa, I am afraid it would take two or three days to reach the place mentioned by the other party.
"Okay, you go back."
"Forget everything that happened here and live your life as usual."
Ronald ended the inquiry.
The controlled orcs also stood up and returned to the settlement alone under the final command of the spirit spirit. They soon disappeared into the low-lying areas of the hills.
call--
At this time, several air currents spread around.
After the breeze disappeared, Costart's hidden figure reappeared, and his eyes naturally turned to Ronald:
"Sir, the situation is still unclear right now?"
Ronald expressed his opinion:
"The beings living here don't know what the environment they are in is. This is most likely the result of deliberate control by the rulers. In a sense, this is also an answer."
Costart murmured in his mouth, his eyes thoughtful:
"So, is that king deliberately deceiving his people?"
"This kind of thing will definitely consume a lot of energy, and I don't think it's something worth doing."
Ronald was not too entangled in this, he shrugged and said:
"This is a sealed world after all. Whether it is for stability or governance reasons, it is possible to make such a decision. In addition, a long time is enough to make changes."
"Anyway, let's continue setting off now and go to where the king is. As the ruler of this land, we can get some information there."
Having said this, Ronald showed a smile to Costart.
Although the possibility is unlikely, but in order to adjust his mentality, he came up with a very lucky idea:
"And if we're lucky, we might just run into someone from the Nine Rings Secret Society?"
