Chapter 45 – / 45

“…”

Randel opened her eyes. It was a scene in the room that looked vaguely familiar. This is definitely what the room at the inn in Roswell Village, where she last stayed and left, felt like.

“Oh, you’re awake?”

“You…”

The door opened and a girl’s voice was heard. It was Annie, a child who worked at an inn.

“Oh, no. The priest said you should still lie down.”

When Randel tried to get up, Annie stopped him.

“Priest?”

“Yes, fortunately, among the adventurers at the inn, there was a priest who treated me.”

“..I see.”

Clearly, Randel’s battered body had healed considerably. However, general healing magic did not even restore energy, so it was difficult to say that it was in perfect condition.

As Annie said, Randel needed more rest.

“Sleep, water.”

“..Thank you.”

Randel calmly drank the water Annie gave him. After drinking the water, she felt like her mind was clearer than before.

“But what happened? You got hurt like that… And what about the other people who went with you… Were they attacked by monsters?”

“Monster..?”

Randel, who had been dazed by Annie’s words her her her, was gradually regaining her memories of her.

A horde of thousands of orcs suddenly appeared.

Dead colleagues.

And…

“Mr. Pyrrhia..!”

Randel recalled what he had to do.

“Ugh..! If we don’t go back quickly..!”

“No. Where are you going with this body?”

“Get out of the way..!”

“Kyaaa..!”

Cheonggrang!

While Annie was trying to stop Randel from getting up, the tray she was holding fell to the floor.

“Ah…”

“…”

Was it because of that sharp sound? Randel was able to calm her excitement a bit. Okay. She has to be more chill now than ever. I can’t do anything alone.

Landel spoke in a calm tone, but with force.

“..I’m sorry, but please call the village’s guard captain. It’s urgent.”

“Ah… Yes, yes!”

Seeing that her mood seemed to have changed, Annie quickly left her room.

“Mr. Pyria… Just wait a moment. I will definitely…”

Randel bit her lip tightly.

…

“…”

Opening her eyes, Pyrrhia felt an unknown sense of deja vu. She remembers opening her eyes in this dark cave just as clearly as now. Then, as now, she was bound and her mouth was gagged. She even looked the same as the brazier placed nearby.

But there were a few other things.

Unlike then, Pyrrha was not alone now. As she was bound and leaning against the wall, dozens of orcs formed a semi-circle around her.

Unusually, all of the orcs had large and small wounds on their bodies, and they appeared to be not old wounds but wounds that had been inflicted some time ago. Nevertheless, they were looking at Pyrrha openly, with a smirk on her face.

“Eup…”

Only then did Pyrrhia realize that she was naked. That was another difference from the previous situation.

Pyrrha could find no hope.

The sound of orcs flirting was heard. Unlike when Nerca was there, the atmosphere seemed very light and disorganized. Pyrrhia wondered if this was their original appearance.

“Hey, who’s going to go first?”

“Of course it starts with me. I was hurt the most.”

“Damn… That was just because you were an asshole.”

You might have thought that these males would never stop fighting over a woman, but unlike most cases, they did not see Pyrrha as a woman.

Seed receptacle.

Due to the nature of the race, there are no women, but the Orcs, who can breed with any race, view all females, regardless of race, as seedbeds.

In fact, thanks to such characteristics, the number of orcs decreased exponentially after they were defeated by humans in the distant past.

There is no woman who would have a relationship with an orc just because she likes it. If humans hadn’t paid attention to the orcs’ labor, the orcs might have gone extinct a long time ago.

Unfortunately or fortunately, humans created a slave management bureau and maintained a certain number of orcs by artificially breeding them with human sex slaves, and managed the orc slaves that way. All of the orcs currently existing in the empire were born that way, and the fact that they were human slaves were engrained in their minds from the root, so they could not even imagine daring to confront humans.

However, the orcs that attacked Randel’s scouting party were different. Pyrrha had no way of knowing how they were able to gather a group while avoiding the eyes of the Empire, and why Nerka, who was just a slave orc, was acting as their leader, but at least she knew that the orcs in front of she was different from the orc slaves she knew. I could tell.

“Hey, it’s nice to decide your turn, but there’s work to do before that.”

“Oh, right. “I forgot about that.”

“Kkeke, I never thought I would be born and see that.”

“That’s right. I thought it was some sort of legend handed down from long ago.”

What are they talking about?

What are you going to do?

Pyrrha could not know anything.

Although Pyrrha was completely naked, she did not feel any particular sense of shame.

Humans who are accustomed to being orc slaves do not see orcs as a single person.

No one feels embarrassed about showing their naked body to their pet.

Perhaps, it might be the final salvation for Pyrrha now.

At least by thinking that way, you can ease some of the burden on your mind.

“Then, I am the one who made the tool myself.”

Saying that, an orc stood up. Although his physique looked slightly smaller than that of the other orcs, he was an orc who somehow looked older.

He stepped in front of Pyrrha, and she placed her hand on the brazier next to him. There was a small iron rod stuck in the brazier. The orc grabbed the handle and pulled it out of the furnace.

“..!”

Pyrrhia’s blurry eyes opened wide.

The tip of the red-hot iron rod was not straight, but had a unique shape. It must have been artificially produced.

Although it was not clearly visible from Pyrrhia’s direction her her, the tip of her iron rod was drawing a single pattern with a single stroke. It was a strange pattern that looked like a heart shape superimposed on a woman’s uterus.

Above all, the fact that the iron rod came out of a hot furnace made Pyrrhia imagine the worst.

“Ugh!! Ugh..!!”

As if her her soulless eyes her her just moments ago were a lie, Pyrrhia began to glow, twisting her body around. Even though she was tied to the wall, she was able to move around to some extent since her arms and legs were only tied.

“Hmm… I guess I won’t be able to ‘take’ a proper picture like this.”

“Can I help you?”

“You will need two. One person holds the top and one holds the bottom.”

At the words of the orc holding the iron bar, two other orcs stood up and approached Pyrrhia. Pyrrha’s glow got worse.

“Ugh!! Ugh!!”

“You’re suddenly full of energy, young lady.”

“I wish I had this much energy when breeding. Hehe.”

In the end, despite Pyrrhia’s sobs, her torso was completely pinned down by the two orcs.

“If you move unnecessarily, you’ll get hurt for no reason. It’s better to just stay calm.”

“Ugh..!!”

Pyrrhia’s face was a mess of her tears and snot. She wasn’t thinking about things like her dignity as a human being, her mission to the empire, or her feelings for Randel.

At this moment, there is the only one thing she desperately desires.

“Would you like to hear one last word?”

“Hey, what if I use magic?”

“If you get a hint, you can block it again. And the captain asked me to tell you what this woman is saying before the ceremony.”

The orc held the iron rod said so and removed the gag from her Pyrrha’s mouth.

“I hate it..!! Please get that away, you orcs!! Ugh!!”

“..I think I heard it for nothing.”

The orc, who immediately covered Pyrrhia’s mouth again, shrugged her shoulders and grumbled as if her ears were stinging.

“Still, not using honorifics until the end is great in many ways. Hehe.”

“It’s amazing… But it’s useless pride.”

The orc adjusted the iron bar again and spoke softly.

“Then… Let’s go.”

“Uuuuu..!! Uuuuu..!!”

As the iron rod got closer to her belly button, Pyrrha’s struggles became more intense. However, there was no way to budge against the Orc’s strength her her her her.

The orc who was suppressing her upper body she chuckled and said.

“Rejoice. You will become the first glorious orc seedling to be resurrected after about a thousand years. Kill kill.”

…

Chloe was a young elf who had just become an adult, turning eighty this year.

If you say he’s eighty years old in elf age, he’s as lively as a human in his twenties. Of course, elves, who live four to five times longer than humans, grow at a rate that is not that different from humans. However, elves are required to meet stricter standards in order to be recognized as one person.

And Chloe was recognized for her outstanding talent, and she was even selected as this team’s spy.

As the name suggests, a spy refers to an elf with a special mission who is sent by elves who live in isolation in a hideout in the deep forest to spy on human society on a regular basis.

Basically, elves have much greater magical aptitude than humans. Chloe was also young for an elf, but she was an experienced wizard who was not at all inferior to the older wizards of the empire. As such, she never had her optical illusion magic discovered by humans.

In addition to her her magic that made her look like an ordinary human woman, Chloe also wore her robes that covered her entire body her and face her her. From the looks of it, she is a mercenary wizard. Being a mercenary or adventurer was an appropriate occupation for them to hide their identity, and it was also a method that spies from previous generations used to blend into human society.

Changing her appearance she didn’t mean her elven her hearing she went anywhere. As she was walking down the main street of Imperial Town, Chloe happened to hear a man’s loud voice.

“What!? Elf!?”

“Oh, I’ll get better! Who’s listening! Shhhhh…!”

The main character of the voice was Minwoo. Minwoo shouted in surprise after hearing from the man that an elf would appear at the slave auction.

Chloe pretended to casually pass by, and her ears perked up at the conversation between Minwoo and the wild-eyed man.

“Hmm… I’m sorry. But is that true?”

“It’s better. Were you just deceived? This is real.”

“Ha… I still can’t believe it… That elf?”

“Of course, I know what you want to say. Aren’t the elves the ones who haven’t been seen in over a thousand years and are already treated as beings of legend? But! This time, at our Grand Mandren Company, they are for real! 100% pure. ! Jintung elves are being put up for auction, that’s what I’m saying!”

“Huh…”

Minwoo had an interesting expression on his face at the man’s words, but in fact, he did not believe the man’s words at face value.

If you think about it even a little, you will quickly realize that it is strange. If they had really captured an elf who had not been seen for over a thousand years as the man said, would they be able to put it up for public auction so easily?

Of course, the man said it as if it was a very special and secret auction, but if it was really such an auction, he wouldn’t have tried to solicit customers from Minwoo, who didn’t even know where the horse bones came from.

Discovering an elf was no different from a national-level incident. That kind of thing is treated like a slave by just one company? Even a passing dog would laugh.

However, Minwoo did not bother to point out that fact.

Although I had no expectations about elves, I was curious about the slave market they were opening.

In the end, Minwoo even gave the man a small tip, and he announced his intention to attend the slave auction.

“…”

When Min-woo and the man parted ways, an In-young wearing a robe followed the man.
