Chapter 292 – New Vulva (3)
The orc moved without hindrance, as if the geography of the area was familiar, and we constantly drew up a new map while being vigilant in preparation for an unexpected situation.
“Where have you been?”
The orc who guided us without a word.
He seemed to be speaking while hiding his emotions, but a faint resentment could be felt inside.
What should I answer?
I thought about it for a while, and the orc didn’t rush me, but walked along the river and waited for an answer.
“I was training for a while. To succeed Kraine-sama, shouldn’t I have the appropriate armed forces?”
“… I see. Did you finish your training and come back now?”
“That’s it.”
Roughly copying the tone of Yeongshik and Kangjin, he answered the orc’s words.
This would make it look more solemn and serious.
“Whoops…”
Of course not for my lovers.
Occasionally, one by one, they end up bursting into laughter.
I looked behind her and stared at Riel.
Don’t laugh
Stare
“Hmmmm…”
Riel also cleared her throat to see if she noticed the meaning of my gaze, then she pretended not to know, avoiding my gaze.
“By the way, who are the women in the back? I’m sure humans are extinct.”
Yes, this is the dimension where Riel lived.
I don’t know why the monsters are fine, but a world where humans are extinct.
From his point of view, my lovers will be unfamiliar.
“There are circumstances. First of all, they are my lovers.”
“Hmm… Is that so?”
The orc, who had turned his head back and looked at my lovers once, looked forward again as if he was not interested.
“I’m really glad you came back even now. Honestly, it was a bit dangerous.”
“Danger… I’m sorry, but I don’t know the exact internal circumstances.”
“Of course you wouldn’t know if you just came out of training. If you go a little further, you’ll arrive at the village. I’ll explain it to you then.”
“I get it.”
The conversation stopped and we walked forward in silence.
∴
By the time the sun had completely set, it was a perfect night.
We found a place where in the distance there was a wooden rampart that gave off a small light.
“Has everything arrived?”
“Yes, that’s our Orc village.”
“Let’s go.”
“All right.”
I’m starting to see my destination, so I’ll have to go quickly.
I used the teleport and we, who were quite far from the village, quickly arrived at the entrance of the village.
“What kind of guy are you!”
“Reveal your identity!”
Is it because it’s dark?
The teleport emits a tremendous amount of light, so we were immediately noticed, and the orcs who were standing guard on the wooden walls immediately rushed here.
“Grow.”
“What, Captain?”
“The light just…”
“What’s behind it… Human?!”
Orcs who were surprised to see us.
It was not a strange reaction to see an extinct human being.
“I’m not human. Be polite. This is Kim Si-woo, the successor of our true ruler, Kraine-sama.”
Silence passed.
A rough estimate of the orcs driven up the wooden wall was 30.
It was chaotic right after we used the teleport, but now it’s dead silence.
“Yes…?”
Then, the silence was broken by the bewildered voice of an orc soldier.
“What did the captain just say?”
“Are you Kryne-sama?”
“No, heir. I’ve never heard of it!”
“Hey, hey, get the torch. You can’t see it very well.”
“No, look away, I can see, only you guys can see!”
“No, no matter how you look at it, you’re human. What are you talking about?”
“So, why are there so many more humans than there are? Aren’t they exterminated by demons?”
It was very mind-boggling.
Thirty orcs were crowding each other and spitting out random words.
“…”
The Orc who brought us this far seems to be the same.
He must have looked quite angry, even the veins on his forehead had risen.
“Quiet!!”
“Huh…!”
“Huh…”
First of all, I don’t know the name, so let’s say it’s a guide orc.
The guide orc shouted, and the orcs fell silent again.
“It doesn’t sound like an ordinary cry.”
“Iknow, right.”
I feel like I’m being overwhelmed, wouldn’t that be the correct expression?
Although resisted.
“Open the door right now! How long are you going to keep the VIPs standing still!”
Perhaps because of the guide orc’s cry, the orcs were unable to answer.
“Answer!!”
“Yes!!!”
“All right!!!”
“Open the door first! Hey, the youngest!”
“Yes!”
“You run to report to the chief immediately!”
“Yes sir!”
The orcs, who were such a mess, went straight to their seats and moved in an orderly manner, and the wooden gate that was blocking our way slowly began to open.
“Welcome to our village, heirs and lovers. Come on in.”
“Okay.”
Upon entering the village, numerous orcs were gathered.
He must have heard the commotion.
In the village, there were only rows of houses built of logs.
Judging from the fact that there are log cabins that look like shops, it seems that the monsters are also trading with each other.
“Residents, please step aside for a moment as we have to go to the village chief’s house.”
As the guide orc spoke, the orcs gathered at the entrance split left and right like the Red Sea parted by Jesus.
“After meeting the chief for a while, I will arrange a place for you to spend the night.”
“Yes. Thank you.”
After hearing my answer, the guide orc nodded and started walking forward again, and we followed him.
“Human…”
“To think there was a human still alive.”
“The real Craine-sama’s successor…? No matter how you look at it, he’s human.”
“Yes, you bastard, do you think the captain of the guard is someone who would lie?”
“Finally coming back… It’s a sign of peace in this country…”
“What is Grandma Kraine?”
“Welcome!”
From children to the elderly.
I hear the whispering voices of the orcs.
“Haha… I feel something strange…”
“So… It seems like they’re welcoming it… But it’s also like they’re wary…”
Of course, you can hear the other women buzzing on both sides.
It is not possible to translate this one by one.
After walking for a while under the gaze of so many orcs, a log cabin that was bigger than the other houses caught my eye.
“Loyalty! The chief told us to bring in distinguished guests.”
Just before, the youngest orc, who had been rushing after receiving an order from an orc, saluted the guide orc and said,
“You did a good job. Let’s go back to the original position.”
“All right.”
The youngest orc ran towards the wooden wall again.
The appearance of his military discipline reminds me of my time as a private soldier.
Smart smart
The guide orc knocked on the door.
“Chief, it’s Carden. Excuse me.”
The guide orc entered without listening to the answer.
All carden? Carden? Said this
Is it like a last name?
Anyway, when I opened the door and entered, a relatively old-looking orc was sitting on a cushion.
“It’s a shabby place, but come in… I’ve been waiting for you for a very long time.”
The village chief orc, who slowly stood up with his cane, lowered his head and said to us.
“Then.”
The guide orc moved aside and we went inside.
How to say
Shall I say it politely?
Or should I say it the way I used to say it?
‘Hmm…’
The tone of speech naturally changes depending on the relationship between the other person and me.
Originally, it would have been appropriate to be polite to the village chief, but now I am the successor of Kraine.
According to the guide orcs, their true ruler? Same thing.
So, you don’t have to go out of your way for now.
“Sorry for the late hour.”
“No, it must be for today’s special meeting on a sleepless night.”
Hall Hall.
The sound of laughter seemed to be seeing a benevolent grandmother.
“Then excuse me.”
“Yes, buy it.”
“Yes, Chief.”
When the village chief called, an orc answered.
“Please bring cushions for the distinguished guests to sit on and tea to drink.”
“All right.”
And the orc went up to the second floor and came down with six red cushions.
“The tea will be served soon.”
“Yes, thank you.”
The orc went up to the second floor again.
“Let me introduce myself first. I am the head of a small tribe.”
“I am Kim Si-woo, as you may have just heard from the youngest soldier, I am Craine-sama’s successor, and I came out after training to end the conflict in this area.”
“Training… I see… The wives who came with me…”
“My women. Humans.”
“Human… I see…”
Sal, who smiled at my lovers once in a while.
From Ga to Da, to Ah.
I wondered if the surname had any special meaning.
“I thought I would need to hone my own skills in order to claim myself as Craine-sama’s successor. I’m sorry I was away for too long.”
“Holhol… I see… It’s resentful, but it’s okay… A lot of things happened, but in the end, it must have been an ordeal that made us stronger…”
Be resentful
This conflict was ultimately caused by the absence of the ruler.
To be honest, it wasn’t an unreasonable feeling.
“First of all, to start with, I have been training for a long time, so I don’t know anything about the circumstances of the world. I would appreciate it if you could give me a brief explanation.”
“I’m sure it is. First of all, the biggest problem was the war. After Kraine-nim left, about 50 years passed and the various races began to divide from each other.”
“Why?”
“It’s simple… I wanted to become the king who would rule this vast continent.”
“Hmm… I see.”
A vast continent dominated by the absolute existence of dragons.
But now that the ruler is gone, it’s good enough to think that he wants to rule himself.
“At first, everyone wanted to wait for Kreine-sama’s successor. Believing that one day the master who would take care of us would return.”
“Hmm… By the way?”
“But the monsters gradually turned their backs. No matter how long we waited, it was useless, and to make matters worse, other dragons began to pursue our continent…”
People who lost their king.
Waiting for the king, but fearing that he would not return and be dominated by other powers.
Rulers who lost their rulers.
Wanting to be free from domination and be your own ruler.
Roughly speaking, it must have been divided by these two.
However, it was unlikely that Craine, whom Riel had followed so much, would oppress the monsters.
Wasn’t he just a guardian who tried to keep the peace?
So he asked Riel.
-It’s as you said. Cryne-sama didn’t interfere at all with the monsters he ruled over and only judged those who tried to break the peace.
He asks and he says yes.
– Then, do dragons fight for power?
-Yes, everyone had a strong desire to be ahead of other dragons. But Kreine-sama was special. He was like the older brother of all dragons.
-Hmm…
“Is that why the monsters wanted to stand on their own against other dragons? And there are also monsters who want to completely dominate other monsters.”
“It’s true. Right now, this continent is divided into three powers. The Guardian Force that awaits Kraine-sama, the Resistance Force that wants to stand on its own, and finally the ruling force.”
“Then, judging from how you welcome me, you must be the guardians.”
“That’s right.”
Sal nodded and said.
“Then, once this conflict is to be stopped, uniting or punishing the three divided factions is the first task and the ultimate goal.”
“Yes, but… It won’t be easy.”
“Hmm… I guess so. I guess that’s the case.”
Just now, Gasal, the chief of this orc village, also said that he resented me.
Sal, the guardian force that decided to wait for Kraine’s successor, was like this, but what about the resistance force or ruling force that had already given up?
It seemed that this was the part that I could easily solve using my status as the heir of Kryne.
“Thanks for the kind explanation, is there anything else I should know or be wary of?”
“… You have to be careful with the head of the ruling power. Even if he went mad, he went mad. He even said that if Kryne-sama’s successor appeared, he would punish himself to prove his qualifications as king.”
“… I see. Thank you. It’s late now, so let’s talk about the rest tomorrow.”
“Thank you. You have no idea how relieved I am to have you back…”
“… Okay.”
My purpose is dispute resolution.
If I say I’m going to solve it and I’m away, the dispute will start again.
I have been feeling some responsibility.
“Carden.”
“Yes, Chief.”
“Please give the heir and lovers a place to rest.”
“All right.”
After leaving the village chief’s room, we headed for the house he assigned us.
