Half asleep and half awake, the boy with muddy consciousness asked himself questions.
Yes, indeed there was, but that was before he came to this world.
He hadn't had such a peaceful sleep for a long time... for a long time.
There were no nightmare memories bothering his nerves that had been strained for many years, no strange devils whispering in his ears, and no monks performing annoying recitations... Nothing, he only vaguely remembered him in his dream last night.
It seemed that I was lying on the soft grass and watching the sunset, and I vaguely heard a girl singing a melodious song.
This night was really pleasant, and he slept unusually comfortably.
He had long forgotten the lyrics of the song, but the singer's voice was indeed beautiful, and he could not find any specific words to describe this beauty.
If he were forced to say it, it would be: "It's not like human language."
Maybe the girl singing in his dream was actually an angel, but when he tried to catch the singer with his eyes, he found that he... woke up.
"It seems that something happened to Miss Fred. Is she okay over there..."
In the midst of his annoyance, the young man heard Nia's voice before he opened his eyes. From what he heard, it seemed that the "Miss Ranger" hadn't arrived yet.
The young man narrowed his eyes slightly, coughed twice and said, "Ahem, it should be fine, or we can't control it now."
The situation at Ming Die is probably very complicated, and the young man is not in the mood to figure it out.
If he had known that this woman would not be able to catch up in a short while, he should have taken Nia and ran out of the forest overnight. But now that he had been delayed for several hours due to rest, he didn't know if it would be too late to run.
Mingdie moves very fast, and should be faster than the black horse when moving at full speed. In addition, she can avoid the rugged path, so in the young man's opinion, although she should have opened a sufficient distance now, the problem still remains.
Very serious.
But there is a question...where should they go next?
Forget it, I’ll think about this issue later.
The young man stretched himself and secretly took a breath of the cold morning air to clear his mind.
"Eh? Verus, you're awake." Nia suddenly heard other people's voices and was a little frightened. She felt relieved when she saw that it was the young man who had just woken up.
"Well, nothing happened last night, right?"
As the young man spoke, he lifted up the thick cloth covering his body. When he sat up straight and took a closer look, the sight in front of him made him a little confused.
"There are so many flowers... Nia, where did you get them? And did it snow yesterday?"
In the blink of an eye, the forest was covered in silver.
The sky was very clean, and the faint sunshine was a bit comfortable, but the wind in the forest was very cold, making my heart feel chilly.
When did this snow fall? At least the boy who just woke up didn't know.
The young man also secretly thought that it was amazing that he could sleep well on a snowy night. He thought he would wake up from the cold, but in the end nothing happened. Could it be that his physique has become stronger again?
However, when he touched the thick cloth that had been covered with warmth before, he discovered that two more layers had been added to the cloth. He thought it was Nia who had put it on him. He felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart.
I don’t feel cold anymore in winter.
"Yes, it snowed a little before dawn, and I feel like it will continue to snow today."
At this time, Nia was squatting next to the big tree, holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand, and there was pure white snow around her feet.
"Is that so? I'm not a local, so I really don't understand. Did you build this snowman?"
The boy's gaze moved to the right along the toe of the girl's shoe, and he discovered that there was a small snowman about one foot tall.
Nia knew what the boy was looking at. She smiled softly and said, "You have already fallen asleep. I was afraid that I would fall asleep accidentally, so I was thinking of doing something. It happened to be snowing, so I made a snowman.
"
"Um, and you also made a wreath by the way? Where did you get the flowers?"
Now that winter has arrived, will there still be so many flowers?
The young man felt very strange. He had not seen many wild flowers along the way. Why could Nia find this bunch of flowers with dew on them?
"These flowers are Liana's work."
"Huh? What's going on?"
Nia's words left the boy completely confused. What could that infant baby do?
"Well, I was also surprised at the time. I said at that time: 'Winter is coming, but it's a pity that there are no flowers.' Then Liana seemed to understand, and she touched the withered flower vines on the tree with her hand, and then...
...The flower vine came alive and grew many flowers." Nia was still busy knitting something with these flowers as she spoke. Her calm expression seemed to have accepted the situation.
The boy looked around and found that there was indeed a tree nearby with a vibrant flower vine wrapped around it. The completely out-of-season growth looked a bit weird. The black horse also walked back and forth around this weird flower vine, nibbling from the flower vine from time to time.
A flower came, and judging from its appearance, it seemed that the flower was quite delicious.
"Then where is Lianna? And Nia, you won't be awake all the time, right?"
"Well, of course I can't sleep, and Liana is right next to you?"
"ha??"
The young man looked back and found that the baby girl was really sleeping soundly next to him, and he had not noticed it at all before.
Maybe I just woke up and my mind is too confused? It always feels like a century has passed since I woke up. In short, my thoughts are so chaotic and my heart is feeling dull.
"Nia, do you know where there is water? I'll wipe my face."
The rivers in the forest extend in all directions like blood vessels in the human body, and the boy is not worried about the water problem.
"If you go in this direction, you will see a small river. Be careful. The water in the river is strong."
Nia pointed the direction for the boy. It seemed that she had also explored the area during this time.
"Okay, I'll be right back."
The boy got up and wrapped a thick cloth around the sleeping baby girl, then walked in the direction Nia pointed. After walking about fifty or sixty steps, he finally saw the creek the girl mentioned.
He scooped out some clear river water with his hand. As soon as he touched the water, his palms immediately felt the biting coldness. He felt that it would not be long before the river would freeze.
“Salmon Turundisaya (It seems like it’s winter now.)”
"The Saka left behind by Bakigada...(Then we must have been here for too long...)"
"Um?!"
The young man had just wiped a few handfuls of the river water on his face when he suddenly heard the voices of some strange visitors.
It's orc language!
Under the guidance of Wenarcodo, the young man also learned the orc language, and he could not mistake the accent that sounded like a thick mouthful of phlegm in the throat.
In the early days, the orc races were complex and had inconsistent beliefs. As a result, the orc language and writing may be very different between settlements. Later, after the first generation of orc king ruled the entire orc tribe, he immediately followed the practices of the elves and the human empire.
The official language and characters were also established, and the "Beast God Cult" and the "Xingai School" were established to unify the beastman's language and characters, beliefs and even sources of knowledge.
Although the culture of each orc race is preserved by default, with the promotion of unified language, orcs rarely speak the former local dialect.
Naturally, what the boy studied was the orc language recognized as the national language by the Sharjah Empire - Sharjah. It is said to be a simplified and improved language from the Husu language of the Tiger people. The words and grammar are relatively simple, and the pronunciation is standard.
It is also highly compatible with the vocal organs of different orc races, so it is accepted by various orc races.
The moment the boy heard the orcish language, he instinctively ran towards the bushes behind him. Before he could completely hide himself in the conversation, two orcish warriors walked out of the dense forest on the other side of the river.
Then, through the gaps between the branches of the vegetation, the young man saw clearly the appearance of the two orcs.
They are wolf-headed men. Both wolf-headed men have gray fur. There is not much difference in stature, but one has lighter fur and the other has darker fur. It is still easy to distinguish.
"Is it a rabbit?"
The wolf-headed man with light gray fur looked in the direction of the boy, but at this time the boy had completely burrowed into the bushes, and he couldn't see anything.
"Are you hungry? If you want to catch a rabbit, you have to wait for us to bring the water back."
The other wolf-headed man with darker fur was not interested in what was happening on the other side of the river. He and his companions both carried four or five water bags in their hands. After the two wolf-headed men leisurely walked to the river bank, they squatted down and squeezed the water.
Open the water bag in your hand and start filling it with water.
The young man lay down in the low bushes, not daring to show off his breath. It would be very bad if he was exposed.
He understood that these two wolf-headed men were not the ones he should provoke now.
Generally, the weapons equipped by wolf-headed soldiers are nothing more than maces or maces. Even if they have swords, they are rusty. However, the long knives hanging on the waists of these two wolf-headed men are set in carved leather scabbards.
, the handle of the knife is also a rare wolf head handle, and the protective gear they wear is not the kind of thin leather armor but real steel armor. Although it is just a light armor that simply protects the vitals, it is enough to make the young man dare not move rashly.
Already.
Most of the orc armies are forcibly recruited, and most of the soldiers' weapons and equipment are self-made. In addition, the orcs are not good at mining and smelting, and the price of metal is extremely high. Therefore, when the weapons and protective gear are damaged, the cost of repair and replacement is high. Therefore, the orcs
Soldiers' equipment is generally poor. Even for the regular orc army, the equipment of most orc soldiers is not as good as that of some local human militias.
Of course, elite equipment is always ahead of most people, and the orcs are no exception. They are never stingy in their demand for powerful warriors. The enchanted equipment of the strong orc royal guards can make King Noah's warriors greedy.
The two wolf-headed men in front of him were so well-equipped that they were undoubtedly elite warriors. The young man had no confidence in fighting an enemy of this strength. If he was unlucky, he could not even run away.
But since we can see a wolf-headed man here, should the giant wolf be nearby too?
The young man's heart sank, he would never forget that giant wolf...
That one-eyed giant wolf.
The giant wolf that killed Zeref and Heimel.
The giant wolf named "Nursha".
"I will kill you, for sure."
The black-haired young man murmured in a very low voice, as if he was talking in his sleep. But the corners of the young man's mouth were raised at some point, and a wonderful idea came to his mind.
