A land of orcs with more men and fewer women

"Lilith? Lilith!" Petunia spoke enthusiastically for a long time, but received no response from Lilith.

Only then did Petunia turn her head and saw Lilith in a daze.

"Lilith? What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Petunia asked worriedly.

"Well, no, no. Sister Petunia, I'm fine." Lilith smiled cutely at Petunia with a pale face.

Petunia touched Lilith's hair lovingly and realized that Lilith's body was still very weak: "Lilith, you look a little tired. You'd better have a good rest. I'm going out first."

Lilith's small hands pulled Petunia very quickly.

Petunia was stunned by Lilith: "Huh?"

Lilith was also stunned after she grabbed Petunia.

Petunia said softly: "What's wrong? Lilith? What do you want to tell me?"

"Sister Petunia, I...I want to hear it again." Lilith's voice was a little soft, as if she was a little embarrassed about what she said.

But...it’s been a long time since I saw or heard from Seth.

Ever since she woke up, everyone seemed to be avoiding this name with her.

But Penny seemed to have met a soulmate, and she was very happy: "Hahaha. Lilith, are you also fascinated by the heroic Master Seth?"

"Huh? Ah~ Well, well..." Lilith didn't know how to answer Petunia's words.

Fortunately, what Petunia wanted wasn't Lilith's reply.

Penny began to tell a story about Seth.

For the first time, Lilith knew what Seth looked like in the eyes of other orcs.

He devoted himself to training outside the city to improve his martial arts.

Love the street snacks.

Pay attention to gemstone jewelry every day.

Regular customer of Pons Ice Cream.

Mrs. Rispone’s Shop Lover…

"In general, Master Seth is not only a gentle male beast who values ​​the advancement of martial arts, but also has the heart of a girl." Penny concluded her speech.

Lilith listened, and her eyes heard from the beginning, Seth's sparkle when he devoted himself to training outside the city, his confusion when he went to the street snacks, his daze when he paid attention to gems and jewelry, and his confusion when he was a regular customer of Pence ice cream. Clearly…

When she finally heard about Mrs. Rispoon's shop lovers, Lilith's eyes got wet.

So, was Seth’s life in Lila City all about her?

Lilith suddenly felt a little sad for Seth.

Penny said happily at this time: "So don't look at it, Master Seth! He looks at everyone coldly. But as soon as you understand his preferences, the answer will be obvious."

"Boom!"

These words were like a stick hitting Lilith on the top of her head.

The Seth who would come to pick her up under the window sill of a high house, the Seth who would take her to the streets and alleys to search for snacks, the Seth who would inadvertently give her a gem chain... who would take her there on her birthday. Seth looking at the stars and moonlight.

Trivial daily life, long-term companionship...

"Lilith...Lilith! Why are you in a daze again?" Petunia complained.

"Huh?" Lilith looked up at Penny suddenly.

Petunia nodded Lilith's little head and shook her head: "There's really nothing I can do about you."

"Sister Petunia~" Lilith took Petunia's hand and shook it.

"Okay, okay~" Petunia laughed as Lilith made her smile, "There are not many apprentices in the temple who like to hear me talk about this. Fortunately, I have you now~"

"Huh?" Lilith was curious.

"Master Seth was young before and no one knew about him. They only knew that he was very talented and the city lord loved him very much. It wasn't until this time that he rescued the little female beast and brought back such a big flame beast. Let more orcs pay attention to the young master of the city lord's palace." After Petunia said this, she leaned close to Lilith's ear and whispered, "Actually, this is the only time I noticed Master Seth. Before, I had always been standing at the top of the twelve Young Master Keqi’s ~ Hehe.”

"Huh?" Lilith looked back at Penny in surprise.

Petunia waved her hand towards Lilith: "Hush! Who told Master Seth to be so brave!"

Then, Penny tried to make up for herself: "Of course! Master Keqi is also a very gentle young master."

Soon, Penny was a little confused: "But...I found! It is the brave yet girlish male orc like Master Seth that attracts me the most!"

When Petunia said this, she grabbed Lilith's little hand again, her eyes burning: "Lilith, do you understand me?~"

Looking at Petunia's eyes, Lilith nodded hurriedly: "Yeah...Yeah!"

Penny smiled contentedly. Then, he suddenly shouted: "Ah! Why is it at this time?"

Lilith was so shocked that she also jumped: "Sister Petunia?"

The little freckles on Petunia's face were all wrinkled together: "Ah~ I forgot the time. I have to pray today, woo hoo, Lilith..."

"Ah? Sister Petunia, go quickly." Lilith also became worried about Petunia.

During the past few days, Lilith already knew that the gentle and lively sister Petunia had successfully entered the central temple as an apprentice. But in fact, she never found a guiding priest.

Daily prayers are one of the few opportunities to interact with high-level priests.

"Yeah! I'll sneak in from the round hall and try..." Petunia said goodbye to Lilith, "I'm leaving~"

"Bye, sister Petunia~" Lilith smiled and waved to Petunia.

After Petunia left, Lilith lay back on the stone bed and covered herself with a small blanket.

Looking at the wrinkled corners of the blanket, he asked in his mind: "What is Seth doing? When will he come to see me?"

Lilith pursed her lips... It was interesting to hear news about Seth from Sister Petunia's mouth.

But...she still liked to see Seth with her own eyes and hear what he said.

~~~

Rila City, the city lord's palace.

"Master Seth!" As soon as Al entered Seth's room, he saw Seth looking like he was about to fall.

Al hurriedly ran forward to help Seth.

Seth pushed Al's holding hand away with one hand and let his knees hit the ground.

Al's eyes were full of disapproval: "Master Seth, you are hurting your body now."

Since Master Seth returned to the City Lord's Mansion a few days ago, he has locked himself in the room and never left the house. He just kept trying to channel the martial energy out of his body.

"Didn't Master Leilana, the senior priest of the central temple, also tell you that you can't be anxious about restoring your martial spirit?" Al quoted Master Leilana's statement, hoping that Seth would stop such meaningless behavior.

Seth didn't answer Al, and his constant channeling of martial energy put a huge burden on his body.

Rejecting Al's help, he put his hands on the ground. After a long time, he stood up shakily again and moved to the recliner next to the bed.

"Did you find out the news?" Seth did not answer Al's previous words, but directly asked another matter.

Al looked away and held his right elbow with his left hand, exerting force unconsciously. After a long time, Al shook his head.

Seth didn't hear the sound and turned his head to see Al's performance: "Ha~ Al, this is not your usual level. Is there an orc covering your eyes, or are you unwilling to tell me?"

Al looked at the ground and spoke slowly: "Master Seth, I did hear some noises. But I didn't find any evidence. I think given your current situation, taking good care of your health is the most important thing."

"Tell me something." Seth looked out the window.

Al was silent for a moment before speaking: "Young Master 18 and Young Master 21 seem to be deeply involved. But when my men went to search, all the evidence had been collected."

After Seth thought for a few moments, he waved his hand towards Al.

Al bowed his head and saluted Seth, then exited the room.

Seth turned his head to look at the scorching sun outside the window, and once again felt the bone-chilling chill in the city lord's mansion.

He lowered his head, clenched his fists hard, and tried to use force, but there was nothing.

The scorching heat of the sun outside the window seemed unable to reach Seth across the window.

He looked at his fist that was unable to channel martial energy and sneered.

Since waking up, Seth has only seen the city lord's father in the central temple.

This incident alone is already very illustrative.

Without martial spirit, he would be the abandoned son of this city lord's mansion.

Al, who has gained nothing now, is a preview of this ending.

Seth cast his gaze out the window.

Such a scorching sun reminded him of the way Lilith leaned out from the window sill and called him that afternoon, but fell downstairs. Seth frowned then smiled.

And on his birthday, he took Lilith to the cellar that was special to him. Under the stars, they made an agreement to have a secret base.

Then... Seth's mind flashed through the image of Lilith closing her eyes backwards, the pale face lying on the stone bed... and the sound that he only dared to hear through the door...

Seth's men unconsciously squeezed the armrests of the recliner.

The force was so strong that there were cracks in the stone.

Seth, who was looking out the window with Lilith in his mind, didn't seem to notice this.

~~~

Rila City, Central Temple.

"Eh? Have you heard about it? Petunia?" Lilith heard a voice sounding outside the door in a daze.

"What? Luxi?" Is this the voice of Sister Petunia?

"It's the Master Seth you like now!" Lu Xi's voice was a little loud.

"Luxi, what's wrong with Master Seth?" Penny glanced at Luxi up and down and asked.

"Huh? You don't know?" Lu Xi pretended.

"If you want to say it, just say it properly. If you don't say it, forget it. I still want to go in and check on Lilith." After saying this, Petunia wanted to turn around.

"Still looking at Lilith? Don't you know? The Lilith inside was delivered on the same day as Master Seth." Lu Xi mocked.

"I know." Penny rolled her eyes at Lu Xi.

Lu Xi was irritated: "What do you know? Do you think it's a coincidence? Would an ordinary little female beast be sent to the central temple by the City Lord's Mansion? And together with Master Seth from the City Lord's Mansion? Don't be too naive. "

"Oh? What do you mean by that?" Penny looked at Lu Xi expressionlessly.

"Me! I...I don't know yet. However, it is definitely not an ordinary relationship! You are still rushing to please me stupidly." Lu Xi's voice was a little jealous, "Maybe! I know Master Seth better than you! You also Talk to others so much!”

Hearing this, Lilith in the room clutched Little Heaton on her body.

"Okay, Luxi. If you keep saying this, I don't want to hear it. I'm going in to see Lilith." Petunia pulled away Luxi's hand.

"Don't you want to know about your Master Seth?!" Luxi hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Penny's hand.

"Okay, hurry up and talk." Penny looked at Lu Xi helplessly.

"Hmph!" Lu Xi crossed his arms, "That Master Seth didn't rescue all the missing little female beasts at all! He is completely different from the rumored hero!"

"Huh?" Penny was a little stunned.

"Humph~ I didn't expect it, right? He is a liar! If there is no one, there is no one. He is still spreading news in the city, saying that he has rescued the little female beast. It makes everyone misunderstand." Lu Xi felt that she had seen the truth and looked at Penny proudly .

Penny thought carefully about the news she heard, and felt a little hesitant.

"Look, look, look~" Lu Xi became more and more proud.

"How do I know if what you said is true?! What if you heard it too?" Penny questioned Lu Xi's words.

"Ah?! How is that possible? Because the little female beast that disappeared from our relatives' house didn't come back this time! I just found out. It's all lies! Only part of it came back!" Lu Xi was furious.

Hearing this, Lilith in the room looked worried. Things seem to be getting complicated, and Seth is clearly doing good things.

"Huh?...Really...really?" This was the first time Penny heard Lu Xi talk about this.

"It's true! Now all the orcs in the city are talking about Master Seth. I think the city lord is paving the way for his favorite son." Lu Xi said through gritted teeth, full of malice towards Seth, as if Seth It was the group that took away the little female beast.

"But...but the flame beast that Master Seth saw when he returned to the city that day was real!" Penny thought of the scene she often imagined in her mind.

"Maybe, that...flame beast is not the result of him being an orc, and that's not necessarily the case." Lu Xi's eyes wandered at the end of the sentence.

"Luxi!" Penny looked at Luxi with condemnation in her eyes.

Lu Xi was even more dissatisfied, and she retorted loudly: "If Master Seth is really so strong, how could he be poisoned so easily? The orcs outside the temple don't know about this, but we know it."

"Also! When the flame beasts were divided a few days ago, Master Seth didn't show up, right? This is the honor of the male orc, he really defeated the flame beast, so why didn't he show up?" The more Lu Xi said, the more he felt justified. .

"This..." Penny couldn't think of a reason for a moment.

"Hmph! So, the twelfth young master Keqi is the best male orc. Petunia, I advise you to return from your lost ways as soon as possible. We can still support Master Keqi together as before and be his solid backing." Lu Xi He advised Penny earnestly.

"I, I'll think about it...Luxi, I'm going to see Lilith first." Penny turned around slowly.

Looking at Penny's appearance, Lu Xi felt quite confident.
