The half-orc's upper body is humanoid, with large muscles and dark skin, exuding a wild and primitive beauty. The lower body is the legs of a thick monster with black fur, a pair of feet with sharp claws like eagle talons, and a pair of black bats on the back.
Its wings have sharp horns growing from the edges.
It looks full of power and has offensive power.
There is no peace in the demon world outside the Demon King's City, and battles will continue to occur between various races in order to compete for survival resources. The powerful physique of this half-orc is very advantageous in racial battles.
However, this kind of half-orcs is not the race of the little boy I saw in my dream. The race of the little boy is closer to humans and is considered a relatively weak ethnic group in the demon world.
Of course Chu Yuan and I are not afraid of the orcs' attacks.
The moment the orcs became hostile to us, Chu Yuan and I noticed their presence. Chu Yuan casually made a magic formula with one hand, and when he was about to fight back, I shook my head at him and stopped him, saying, "
Chu Yuan, don't do anything."
I was worried about how to get into Jianan City, but now I have an opportunity that is coming to my door, so I can’t waste it.
Chu Yuan was very smart and understood my intention instantly. He released the magic formula.
At this time, the Orc's attack came behind me and Chu Yuan. We quickly hid aside. While avoiding the Orc's fatal blow, we were so panicked that our feet became unsteady and we fell to the ground.
As soon as I sat on the ground, the knife in the orc's hand was pressed against my neck.
I immediately raised my hands and didn't dare to move any more.
"Dear heroes," I said, "We were just passing through this place and saw that the city is a rare prosperity in the demon world. We were curious and landed here to observe. We have no ill intentions. Please show mercy, heroes."
There were three orcs, two holding knives and holding Chu Yuan and me respectively, while the other stood behind them.
The third one raised his hand and patted the first two, then opened his mouth and muttered a bunch of words that I couldn't understand.
Only then did I realize that there was a language barrier between us and them, so they probably didn’t understand what I just said.
I turned to look at Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan said, "I don't understand what they are talking about. If they decide to attack us, we will kill them first."
You can pretend to be defeated, but you can't really get hurt.
I nodded and agreed with what Chu Yuan said.
At this time, the little girl on my shoulder suddenly said, "They are saying that you look similar to the Wu people, maybe you are the same race. They want to take you to see the leader of Wu Zhe, and let the leader of Wu Zhe decide whether to execute you."
I originally planned to let them take us into the city, but now they want to take us directly to see the leader of Wu Zhe. We are really sleepy and someone gave us a pillow, so it took no effort at all.
The half-orc flapped its wings, and a strong wind blew towards me. I narrowed my eyes because of the wind. The half-orc flew into the air, then grabbed Chu Yuan and me with its sharp feet like eagle claws, and took us two up to fly.
It flew towards Jianan City below.
An orc led the way, and two orcs grabbed Chu Yuan and me and followed behind. We flew to the center of Jianan City and landed in front of the tallest building.
Chu Yuan and I were thrown directly to the ground, and the two orcs flew away, leaving only the one leading the way.
The orc leading the way was talking to the castle guards, and I took the opportunity to observe the surroundings.
The building in front of you is a castle. Compared with the surrounding buildings, the castle is not only grand and luxurious, but also very clean and colorful. It looks like it has been recently renovated.
There were two teams of guards standing in front of the castle gate, one team of four, all half-orcs with wings, holding spears that shone with cold light in their hands.
In front of the castle is a square, and in the middle of the square stands a stone statue. The stone statue is carved of a middle-aged man holding a knife in one hand and shouting to charge.
Just outside the square is the lively market, where there are bustling crowds of all species.
Seeing the different species of the demon world harmoniously appearing in a town, I immediately thought of the Demon King's City. I didn't expect that besides the Demon King's City, there are other places where these hostile races can maintain peace.
At this time, the sound of the door opening came from the front.
I immediately came to my senses and turned back to look at the castle.
The gate of the castle opened, and a maid who looked like a human came out of the castle.
The maid is wearing a colorful skirt made of silk, with a tube top on the upper body and a long skirt on the lower body that reaches the ankles. The colors are colorful, somewhat like the costumes of ethnic minorities in the Yang Dynasty.
"You two come in with me," the maid pointed to me and Chu Yuan, "the leader has agreed to see you."
I got up from the ground, and together with Chu Yuan, we followed the maid into the castle.
Compared with the splendor of the outside of the castle, the inside of the castle looks a lot more simple and shabby. Everything is dark, as if it had been burned by a fire and had not had time to be renovated.
The ground under your feet is full of potholes. Directly in front of you is a high platform. On the high platform is a brand-new dragon chair with bright colors. This dragon chair is the most magnificent and decent decoration in the castle.
Sitting on the dragon chair is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy. He is wearing a golden brocade robe. There is a black scepter on the armrest on one side of the dragon chair. The scepter is inlaid with a round bead dripping with golden quicksand.
, it is Qian Chen’s luck pearl!
I have seen this scepter in my dream. I have also seen this young man in my dream.
Although he looks much older now than in the dream, his facial features have not changed much. I can still recognize him at a glance as the little boy who got the Qianchen Luck Bead!
It turns out that the little boy's name is Wu Zhe. Relying on the power of the Luck Bead, he fulfilled what he said, regained his homeland, and allowed his tribe to live a peaceful and prosperous life.
"Are you here for this bead?" Wu Zhe suddenly asked.
He made his words clear, and I have already seen the luck beads, so there is no need for me to pretend anymore.
I said bluntly, "Yes. This bead belongs to us. Please return it to us."
Wu Zhe stood up, picked up the scepter, looked up at the luck bead embedded in the scepter, and said, "When this bead flew in front of me, I held it and felt its surging power. I used
With this power, he regained his homeland and built a brand new Jianan City. Today, the people in the city live and work in peace and contentment, and the city is prosperous and stable, all because of this bead.
Now let me return this bead to you. I really can't bear to part with it. But I also know in my heart that although this bead helped me, it does not belong to me. I am not its owner, you are. The owner.
I should be grateful if you lend me the beads and let me use them for this period of time. I really shouldn't have any thoughts of taking the beads as my own.
Therefore, I am willing to return the beads to you now."
I was stunned for a moment, a little in disbelief.
The Luck Bead is very powerful. Anyone who has personally experienced this power and has been benefited by this power, who wouldn't want to take this bead as their own?
Now Wu Zhe agreed to return the Luck Pearl to us so simply. This was completely beyond my expectation, and it made me not know how to react for a moment.
Seeing my surprised expression, Wu Zhe smiled. His youthful face showed a bit of childishness and shyness when he smiled, "Don't be too happy yet. This bead is very magical. I believe there is no one in this world who doesn't want to have it."
it.
So it’s impossible for me to believe that you are its owner and give it to you just because of your empty words. The more precious something is, the more careful it needs to be when handling it, isn’t it?”
He made the request, and I felt it was normal.
I said, "Then what will it take for you to be willing to return the beads to us?"
Wu Zhe said, "Don't be nervous, I won't make things difficult for you. Since you say you are the owner of this bead, then as long as you can prove that this bead belongs to you, I will return the bead to you. As for the method of proof, you
You decide for yourself. My request shouldn’t be too much, right?”
Of course it's not too much, it can even be said to be very reasonable.
He picked up the Luck Bead. As the owner, I came to look for it. Of course, I had to prove that I was really the owner of the bead. Otherwise, what if it was taken by someone else?
This is the normal process for collecting lost items, but I have a strange feeling in my heart that I can't explain.
I always feel like there's some conspiracy hidden in this.
I took a deep breath, calmed myself down, and then said to Wu Zhe, "Chief Wu Zhe, I can understand your request, and I am willing to cooperate. I will call the owner of this bead here now and ask him to prove it to you.
Look."
Hearing what I said, Wu Zhe's lips curved into a proud smile, as if he had succeeded in some scheme.
Although the smile was fleeting, I could still see it clearly.
Sure enough, there is something wrong with Wu Zhe's request!
