My Magic Age
Chapter 135 135. Kuz's Choice
A lot of information about our team in the Beilu Wasteland will fly to this castle like snow flakes during this afternoon. Every noble person living in this castle needs to know something about us. In this situation, their attention will never be on me, but on Kurz, the seventh son of Chief Kurad. This lucky darling was taken away by his grandfather Kulu Shaman High Priest to travel around the continent since he was a child.
Regarding this orc boy who was born in the same year as Kurtz, I can even imagine that Coolio must have a contemptuous face at this time, telling the surrounding orcs about our "bad deeds" in the wasteland. As for the son of acting chief Kut, I can't understand why he would be so dandy. He is completely letting the crops grow. Kurtz stiffened his neck and wanted to speak, but was quietly stopped by his mother sitting beside him.
As the cups and cups mingled, dinner was coming to an end. The cooked split-hoof beef tasted very delicious. After I finished the portion on my plate, I fried the remaining half of the meat that Qige had eaten. I forked it onto my plate without any disdain and ate it. Deqige stepped on me hard under the table.
"I heard that you are a great magician?" The young orc opposite smiled like a blooming sunflower and asked Qige cautiously. When she saw Qige looking up with her big, beautiful eyes that could speak, Looking over, his dark face instantly turned purple.
Qige nodded very ladylikely, blinking at the young orc with her big eyes, a faint smile on her delicate face.
The orc suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly wiped the corners of his mouth stained with oil and blood with the napkin on his chest, showing a naive embarrassment.
Kurt drank the last mouthful of onion soup in the plate, raised his head and looked at Kurtz with a sharp gaze like a falcon, and asked: "Xiao Qi, what are your plans for the future?"
The loud voice overwhelmed all the noisy sounds in the restaurant, and the table became silent at this time. Almost everyone in the room wants to know how Kurt will treat his younger brother who is about to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony. Among the members of the Blood Wolf Ku family, Kurt is undoubtedly the most powerful, but he is not the most favored. One, the most favored one is the seventh young master Kuz. After Kurt became the acting chief of Gurudin Town, he used repressive methods to drive all his five brothers to the outermost reaches of the Blood Wolf Tribe's sphere of influence, and asked them to guard the borders of the Blood Wolf Tribe's territory.
At that time, Kurt forcibly suppressed most of the objections. This time, everyone was watching. Instead, Kurtz, who had just returned from the wilderness trip, was pushed to the forefront of the storm. Everyone was watching, watching. What will you Kurt do! Will he send his younger brother who has not yet participated in the coming-of-age ceremony to the border areas inhumanely, or will he stay with him and keep an eye on him personally? In either case, if it goes wrong, it will arouse those who are against Kurt. The forces rebounded. But in the face of Old Kulu who was about to return, no one dared to take the risk of angering Old Kuru and embarrass Kuz at this time.
"When I came back this time, I walked in the Beilu Wasteland for a month. I experienced a lot. I saw many hunters who were making a living in the wilderness. I saw that their lives were very miserable. There were many who had no ability to protect themselves. Orcs, in order to have a good meal, risked their lives in the wilderness. On the way, we also met a small tribe. The men in the tribe fought against gray dwarf bandits last year. All of them were killed in the battle, leaving only some old and weak women and children. When we met them, we were seeing the beast girls in the tribe digging wild vegetables with their children in the wilderness. Their leader was killed by the wind wolves in Yelang Gorge. The bite caused serious injuries, and the tribe could not survive in the wilderness. So I took them back to Gurudin Town. They ate wild vegetables and followed me along the way, because I promised them that I would take them home. "
After Kurtz said this, there was silence in the restaurant. Every werewolf here is not unaware that the orcs in the entire Pai Plateau are suffering from famine, but the nobles of these wolf tribes rarely think carefully about the life and death of the orcs in the small tribes, just out of habit. They knew that after the spring hunting, they asked them for the skin of the devil antelope, and during the war, they asked them for strong warriors.
Kurtz continued: "Brother, the annual coming-of-age ceremony will be held in early summer. There is still more than a month before here. I want to take the orcs back to their hometown with my friends and help them settle down. Come down, and then participate in the coming-of-age ceremony in early summer. The people in the tribe said that there are endless potatoes in the swamps in their hometown. I want to lead those people to dig out the potatoes there, so that we blood wolves can There will be no more famine in the clan’s territory.”
At this time, Kurtz's mother, who was sitting aside, suddenly changed her expression, looked at her son in horror and screamed: "Are you going to the Death Swamp?"
"No, how could I dare to go there!" Kurtz acted extremely relaxed and comforted his mother by saying, "After my grandfather took me out of Gurudin Town, I walked eastward along the edge of the Death Swamp. Although I I'm not unfamiliar with it, but I still know how dangerous it is. This time I just want to go to the drowning lake on the edge of the swamp. You don't have to worry about it. It's right next to the death swamp. I'll take my son. Take a group of people and go there to dig some potatoes and bring them back."
"Drowning Pond, where do you want to go?" Kurt looked at Kurtz who was comforting his mother with bright eyes.
Speaking of which, the monster disaster in the Drowned Pond area has been going on for a long time. Almost every year, there will be a tide of corpses harassing the orc town on the edge of the swamp. The solution in the past was also very simple. The orc tribes on the edge of the swamp would unite and gather enough warriors to drive the zombies crawling out of the swamp back into the swamp. This year's ****** left the men in the tribe no time to take care of these swamp zombies, resulting in a large tide of corpses. This problem had troubled the top leaders of the Guludin tribe as early as a month ago, and even held several elders meetings to discuss how to deal with the problem of corpses.
The problem currently facing the Guludin tribe is the lack of warriors who can resist the swamp zombies. As the western gate of the orcs on the Pai Plateau, the Guludin Fortress is the first barrier against the Green Empire. Even after so many years of peace, the orcs still did not relax their vigilance. The reason is that the Pai Plateau is already the last paradise for the orcs, and they have nowhere to retreat. Therefore, at any time, the Guludin Fortress will be stationed with more than 30,000 elite warriors.
A year ago, in the war against the gray dwarf bandits, a large number of werewolves had died. As a result, in order to gather enough hunters to hunt the demon antelope tribe deep in the wilderness, many small tribes were left with only beastwolves and children. As a result, the tribes living on the edge of the swamp did not have enough strength to resist the zombie tide, so that the zombie tide later formed a scale, and even the current high-level people of Guludin were helpless for a while.
Hunters who have the ability to hunt monsters are all in the depths of the wilderness. If they are transferred back to a team to hunt swamp zombies, it will affect the harvest of the entire spring hunting. Among the many monsters in the wilderness, the demon antelope is the lowest among the monsters, and can be barely classified as a first-level monster. The strength of the wind wolf is already considered a medium-to-low-level first-level monster, but if groups of wind wolves gather together, their strength will increase exponentially. On the Pai Plateau, the fire lizard has always been the top existence of the first-level monster. But the most tough and defensive monsters are the swamp zombies in the Death Swamp.
There are still some ordinary orc reserve warriors in Guluding Town, but the top leaders of Guluding Town have not used these forces, just because they don't want the orc hunters who are not strong enough to die in vain. The feather arrows shot with ironwood bows cannot penetrate the hard skin of swamp zombies. In the past, there were human adventure groups staying in Guluding Town, but in the past month, these high-level demon hunting teams have been hired by human merchants in the town to protect these merchants and go deep into the wilderness to purchase demon antelope skins.
"Can your alloy bow penetrate the hard shell on the swamp zombie?" Kurt frowned slightly and looked at Kuz and asked.
Kuz has a top-mounted weapon alloy bow. This matter has long been heard by Kurt, but he doesn't believe that his younger brother, who is not yet fourteen years old and has participated in the wolf tribe's coming-of-age ceremony, has passed the hunter's trial and can shoot skill arrows with armor-piercing properties.
"Not yet, it should be soon!" Kuz didn't shyly hide at this time, but said confidently.
Kurt frowned even more deeply, and asked in a deep voice: "Then what qualifications do you have to deal with those swamp zombies? Have you ever thought that if you die in the edge of the Death Swamp, I will bear the crime of persecuting my brothers and sisters for the rest of my life because of you?"
Kuz straightened his chest, raised his head high despite his mother's obstruction, and said loudly and forcefully: "I want to go by myself, and it has nothing to do with you, big brother. My reason is also very simple. I want to dig out all the potatoes buried there and share them with the hungry orcs so that they can survive."
I kept pulling Kuz's clothes from below. This guy didn't benefit himself at all.
When Kuz said this, Kurt's face became even darker. I thought to myself: If I were the chief, I would have to think more about what you did. What are you doing? What do you want to do? Going to the edge of the Death Swamp to hunt swamp zombies is reasonable, after all, there is a high probability that zombies have magic cores, but as the seventh son of Kurad, if you dig up the potatoes there and distribute them to the hungry werewolves, this is a bit sinister. Are you trying to win people's hearts? Or are you challenging the authority of the newly appointed acting chieftain Kurt?
"Az, what are you talking about! Aren't those potatoes supposed to be shipped back to Guludin Town for sale? Would the elders of the Council of Elders need your spare money?" I hurriedly whispered aside, but my voice was guaranteed to be heard by most of the orcs at the table.
Sure enough, when many people looked at me again, they had a kind of contempt for merchants in their eyes: What a profiteer who plunders the passing geese! Kuz scratched his head in confusion, leaned down quietly and asked me: "Didn't we agree to give some potatoes to the poor and sell the rest?"
The orcs at the table understood clearly. It turned out that he was really a profiteer who wanted to take advantage of the crisis to take the last copper coins from the pockets of the poor orcs.
Kuz said this very honestly. In fact, the second half of the sentence was a little unclear, but the effect was even better.
In fact, Kuz meant to say: Will the rest be made into vermicelli and sold to those human merchants?
I blinked at Kuz. He didn't quite understand what he said to me. I didn't understand what the vermicelli that was obviously going to be sold to human merchants had to do with the orc elders, but he didn't refute me.
Kut sat on the chair and was silent for a moment before asking: "I know your friend is a magician, and this boy is also the apprentice of Grandpa. You may have your own way to deal with the swamp zombies. However, as a brother's advice, I want to tell you that the most dangerous zombies in the Death Swamp are definitely not those zombies that can't even run. It doesn't matter how you provoke the zombies. Just go back along the way you came. Those big guys won't hurt you. But you have to have a foolproof plan. The red-eyed bats and the death harvesters are both speed-type monsters. The moment they touch you, they will suck your blood or cut you in two!"
"Since your brother likes that swamp, why don't you just give him the edge of the swamp?" The orc lady who looked the oldest sitting at the top suddenly spoke, her face facing Kurt, but the pair of eyes that originally looked kind looked sharply at Kuz's mother.
Although Kurt paused for a moment, he was a little hesitant, but after a moment he still said: "Yes, mother! Follow your orders."
At this moment, Kuz's mother was already confused by this sudden change.
"Xiao Qi, I ask you again, are you sure you want to go to Drowning Bore?" Kurt asked Kuz meaningfully, one of his hands was placed on the wooden table, his index finger flying and rhythmically tapping the wooden tabletop, feeling a little conflicted. Then he added: "Maybe you can think about it carefully, maybe it's a good choice for you to stay in Guluding Town to help me."
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the glare of the oldest orc noblewoman, while Kuz's mother looked at Kurt in surprise, and hurriedly secretly pulled Kuz's sleeve, wanting him to agree.
In the minds of Kuz's family, the castle in Guluding Town is undoubtedly the safest and most comfortable place. They have been wolf orc nobles for too long, and have been infected with the bad habits of human nobles who enjoy a comfortable and luxurious life. In my opinion, if you want to stay anywhere in the Blood Wolf Tribe, you have to stay in Guludin Town. What else can you learn here except intrigue?
Kuz smiled and looked at his elder brother Kurt with gratitude. No one here is a fool. Everyone knows that in this period of chaos, there is no better place than Guludin Town. At least you don’t have to worry about starvation, disease, monster invasion and gray dwarf robbers. Although those gray dwarves have disappeared, they have left indelible scars on the orcs.
Standing up from the chair, everyone in the restaurant realized that the weak orc child in their impression has now become a thin orc boy. He put his hands on the dining table and looked at all the young wolves at the table with a firm look. He took three deep breaths evenly, and then said: "I like adventure, and I like hunting. Before leaving Yemen Town, my idea was just to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony. I wanted to hunt two magic antelopes in the northern foothills with my friend Jijia, and then sew them for myself. A light armor made of demon antelope skin. I think wearing such a demon beast leather armor can make me stand out at the coming-of-age ceremony. "
He looked at me and said, "Before we entered the North Foothills Wasteland alone, Jijia secretly asked me, he said: Azi, will it be dangerous for us to enter the North Foothills Wasteland? I said: A little bit, are you afraid? He shook his head and said to me: I'm not afraid, I'm just worried that I will become a burden to you. "
At that time, I just wanted to confirm whether Kuz and I would be in danger when entering the wasteland, and I didn't think about anything else. And later Azi also made it clear that even if we couldn't hunt the demon antelope, there would be no problem in ensuring the safety of the two of us.
Just as I was lost in my memories, Kuz continued, "Our caravan came out of the Death Road in the mountains of the northern foothills. In the valley passage at the exit, we encountered a group of young gray dwarf bandits. In that battle, Jijia and I almost died, but we both survived and got the first sum of money from the gray dwarf bandits. We spent all our money to buy that alloy bow. I remember that at that time, in order to buy a good bow that could break the armor of the magic antelope, we really spent everything we had. At that time, we even considered selling the only bottle of healing potion we had. Later, we walked into the northern foothills together. Originally, we completed our original plan and hunted enough demon antelopes. Finally, I can wear demon antelope leather armor to attend the coming-of-age ceremony. However, my friend Jijia told me that he would return to the Green Empire with her sister in a few days. Now I realized that I haven't given Jijia a decent gift. Outside the valley exit of Yelian Mountain, we met the wise man Meyana. He told us that corpse fire oil can be extracted from swamp zombies. These corpse fire oils that can be made into fire phosphorus bombs are very valuable in the Green Empire. Maybe we can give him some money for the trip home by hunting some swamp zombies."
