Lord: I have a skill talent tree

The next day.

Ethan carried a grilled fish to the Mage Tower.

"This seems to be the first time I've given a gift to an old man."

On the way, he looked at the grilled fish in his hand and couldn't help laughing at himself.

This man is really strange.

He is always polite to strangers, but he often forgets this for familiar people.

Some people even get angry outside and say bad things to their family and friends when they get home.

Why is this so?

...

Thinking about it, Ethan arrived at the place unknowingly.

Torisk was reading a book at this time. Seeing Ethan holding a tray with a half-finished grilled fish on it, he looked weird.

"Little guy, what are you doing?"

Ethan smiled: "I didn't finish the wine yesterday, so I'll continue today.

I have to say, old man, your wine is really good. It made me think about it all night."

After that, Ethan walked straight into the kitchen with the fish.

Ethan was going to make charcoal grilled fish.

Since this thing should be eaten while it's hot, he can only process it at home and take the rest to Torisk to continue.

While Ethan was busy in the kitchen, a sneaky little figure peeked out from the door.

"Come out! Little Philen! You're sneaking around, are you trying to sneak attack me again?"

Philen heard the voice and walked out from behind the door reluctantly.

He kept pinching the corners of his clothes with both hands, and walked to Ethan's side with hesitation.

"Last...night, that..., I'm... sorry!"

Philen said, turned around and ran away.

"Uh..."

Looking at Philen's leaving back, Ethan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and shook his head and continued his work.

After a while, a plate of steaming charcoal grilled fish was served on the table.

There was a little charcoal fire burning under the iron plate, which seemed to dispel the severe cold of winter.

Torisk frowned and looked at the grilled fish: "How is this made?"

Ethan smiled slightly: "I have been to a mysterious oriental country, where this kind of grilled fish is everywhere on the streets.

Come on! Try it!"

As he said, Ethan took out a pair of chopsticks and handed them to the old man, and taught him how to use them.

"Which mysterious oriental country, why haven't I heard of it?"

"Are you very knowledgeable? Isn't it normal that you haven't heard of it?"

"Am I not knowledgeable?"

"How are you knowledgeable?"

"How am I not knowledgeable?"

"Who would say that they are knowledgeable? Only those who are shameless would say so!"

"Okay! Even if you are not knowledgeable. It is impossible that you have not heard of an oriental country! Don't fool me!"

...

In a bunch of nonsense, Torisk quickly learned how to use chopsticks and reached out to pick up a piece of fish.

"Well... Not bad, quite tasty."

"Philen, bring the wine."

"Okay, teacher!"

...

The two ate grilled fish and drank red wine.

This scene made Ethan feel as if another wish had come true.

At first, he just wanted to think that it was snowing outside, and he and a few friends were eating in the house...

Just thinking about it, Ethan suddenly found that Philen was staring at the grilled fish, smiled slightly, and handed her a pair of chopsticks...

"Old man, I met an elf before, she told me that elves don't eat meat, I always believed it.

In the end, I found out that she was a liar."

Torisk picked up a piece of steaming fish and put it in his mouth, and took a sip of red wine: "Ah... comfortable!

In fact!

She didn't say anything nonsense.

Many elves do not eat meat.

But! Some people always like to represent others. If they don't like it themselves, they think that others don't like it either.

Anyway, I like to eat fish very much.

When I have time, I will catch it myself."

"I have a lot of fish there." Ethan smiled and said, "If you like it, I can bring it to you every day.

Sea crabs, do you like it?"

"No! Arthropods, I definitely don't want it!" Torisk shook his head immediately: "That thing is too disgusting."

"Haha..."

The two chatted casually while eating grilled fish.

At this time, Torisk suddenly said: "Didn't you ask me to help you find a magic sword that can be brought into the plane?

Recently I found a set of magic rules that may work. I will try it later."

"Forget it, don't waste your energy! That's just my boring idea."

Ethan didn't want Torisk to waste the rest of his energy on inscriptions. He should enjoy life, so he changed the subject and said: "A while ago, I went to the orcs' territory, and I found that there seemed to be something wrong there."

When Torisk heard that Ethan went to the orcs' territory, he was shocked: "Are you crazy? Is that a place where people can go?

Are you feeling any discomfort now?"

"Why are you so nervous?" Ethan looked puzzled.

"Why are you nervous?" Torisk's eyes widened: "Why do you think the North is just passively defending and never launching a counterattack?"

Ethan had never thought about this question, and shook his head: "Is there any reason for this?"

"Cough... cough..." Torisk coughed twice: "How long have you been with the orcs?

Also, do you feel uncomfortable?

For example, you feel pain somewhere, or a tumor grows or something."

Seeing that Torisk was so serious, Ethan realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly replied: "I'm fine.

I stayed there for a short while, and I left immediately when I realized something was wrong.

And I used the Force to protect myself at the time, so I should be fine.

But what exactly is the problem in the orc territory? "

“If you keep turning on the Force, I heard it seems that it can indeed protect you.

However, no one knows whether it is true or not.

So, you really don't feel uncomfortable? "Torisk asked again.

"No!" Ethan nodded affirmatively: "I'm not feeling uncomfortable, and I don't have any sarcoma.

You better tell me, what's the problem there? "

Torisk looked at Ethan carefully to make sure that the other person was not lying, and then said slowly: “I don’t know what the problem is there.

I guess no one knows.

I just know it's very weird there.

For thousands of years, successive northern dukes have organized manned counterattacks against the orcs.

But without exception they all failed.

They failed without even seeing the shadow of the orcs.

As soon as people enter orc territory, it doesn't take long before they start to get sick.

The most common one is sarcoma on the body.

The sarcoma is like a plant, absorbing the human body as nutrients. Not only does it grow rapidly, but it also grows infinitely until it sucks the person dry.

Another common situation is that a person's bones suddenly become so brittle that they cannot bear their own weight.

As you walk, you may suddenly become shorter.

There was no warning beforehand, and it turned into a puddle of flesh.

In addition, there are many other strange diseases.

For example, internal organs rot for no reason, sudden severe pain somewhere in the body...

In short, they are all strange diseases with no root cause. "

When Ethan heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, wondering if he was going to die after staying in the orc territory for so long.

At this time, Volibear's voice came to his ears: "Master, don't worry, I was protecting you from the outside. Master, you are not in danger."

When Ethan heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Torisk saw Ethan breaking into a cold sweat and smiled helplessly: "Now you know you are afraid?"

"Damn Andy, you didn't tell me this." Ethan couldn't help but curse.

"How did he know that you would go to the orcs, and you are not from the North, so there is no point in telling you this." Torisk replied, and then suddenly picked up his chin: "Speaking of the orcs.

Tsk…

This winter is so strange.

At this time in the past, some orcs would always come over the mountains.

But I don’t seem to have heard of it this year.

Strange!

It's really weird.

Tsk…

I have an ominous feeling! "
