A land of orcs with more men and fewer women

"Lilith, good afternoon!" Petunia approached the stone bed and greeted Lilith.

"Sister Petunia, good afternoon." Lilith said hello to Petunia.

Petunia mouthed the same prayer runes as she had done that morning.

The halo on Lilith's body was still dark gray. Neither Petunia nor Lilith were disappointed with this.

After Petunia touched Lilith's head, she wanted to go out.

"Sister Petunia!" Lilith grabbed Petunia's Heaton.

"Huh? What's wrong, little Lilith?" Petunia looked at Lilith.

Lilith did not look back at Petunia as usual.

On the contrary, Lilith lowered her head, but raised her little hand to grab Petunia, and said firmly and very quickly: "Sister Petunia, I know Seth!"

Petunia was startled, then sat on the edge of the stone bed and asked softly: "Lilith, did you hear it? The conversation between me and Lu Xi just now."

Lilith looked up at Penny and nodded: "Yes. I don't want you to misunderstand."

Petunia smiled: "It's all Lu Xi's loud voice! Don't listen to what she said, there is nothing wrong with it."

"Did Sister Petunia listen?" Lilith asked.

"Me?" Penny's voice was broken, "I..."

"Sister Petunia?" Lilith looked back at Petunia.

Penny smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe I heard part of it..."

Lilith bit her lower lip first, and then said to Petunia: "Sister Petunia, I haven't seen Seth for a long time, and I really can't tell you the actual situation of the things you just discussed."

"But, there is one thing I think we can reach a consensus on." Lilith looked at Petunia.

"What's the matter?" Perhaps Lilith's attitude affected Petunia, and Petunia couldn't help but become serious.

"Seth did rescue the missing female beasts. Unfortunately, only some of the female beasts were able to come back." Lilith's eyes drooped.

After thinking about it, she raised her eyes to look at Penny again: "But I think... we shouldn't ignore the fact that some of the little female beasts are able to go home." Lilith said slowly, "Isn't it a good thing to do If it's not in place, will it no longer be a good thing?" Penny: "This..."

Lilith continued: "Sister Petunia, Seth is not an orc who enjoys great achievements. I believe he will not exaggerate what he has done. For example, the matter of rescuing the little female beast, maybe it was just exaggerated in the rumors? I I think it is indeed possible.”

Penny lowered her eyes, lost in thought.

After a while, Petunia shook Lilith's hand: "Although I don't know the truth of the matter? But, I am very happy that Lilith is willing to tell me this."

"Sister Petunia! What I'm saying is..." Really. Lilith looked at Petunia a little anxiously.

Petunia smiled and shook her head, interrupting what Lilith was about to say: "Lilith, we are different."

Petunia looked at the little Lilith on the stone bed with soft eyes: "Master Seth, is he an orc who is very important to Lilith?" , aren’t they still saying that Seth is not who Lu Xi said he is?

Looking into Lilith's confused deep blue eyes, Petunia lowered her head and smiled again.

After a long while, Penny put her hand on Lilith's head: "It's rare for Lilith to have an orc who cares about her so much. Don't give up easily. The world is changing quickly, but there are always some things that are constant. "

Petunia stretched out her index finger and lightly tapped Lilith's chest: "A heart like this is very precious. Lilith protect this precious heart."

A heart that has the capacity to love.

"Sister Petunia?" Lilith became more and more confused as she listened.

Petunia didn't intend to explain to Lilith. Maybe she cut off her relationship when she chose to become a temple apprentice. Only then would he be particularly sensitive to such small flames. Some things can only be experienced by oneself. It may not necessarily be a good thing for the orcs nearby to intervene.

Just let the fire develop naturally.

Big or small, burning or extinguished...

As a bystander, it is really interesting to watch a fire that is still young.

Thinking of this, the smile on Penny's lips deepened.

"Then...Sister Petunia." Lilith wanted to continue the topic.

However, Petunia put her index finger on Lilith's lips. Petunia shook her head again: "Time will tell us the answer."

Then, Petunia lowered her body and pushed Lilith's shoulder with her shoulder: "But, if Lilith wants to tell a story about her relationship with Master Seth, then I still want to hear it~"

"What? Sister Petunia?" Lilith's face turned red as Petunia told her, what is "the story with Master Seth"? ...Lilith couldn't help but glare at Sister Petunia beside her.

"What?! Hahaha, where did Lilith want to go? Don't you know each other?" Petunia giggled, her gentle and intellectual feeling just now gone.

However, the dots of freckles made Petunia look particularly like the sister next door.

~~~

Two weeks later. Central temple.

early morning.

"Lilith! Congratulations! The aperture finally turned light gray!" Penny said excitedly from the side.

Lilith looked down at the light gray halo and was very happy: "Sister Petunia, can I go home?"

"Well! Now we're just waiting for the priest to help you guess the negative effects of the drug. I'll go apply for it for you later." Penny said in a relaxed tone.

"Excuse me, Sister Petunia." Lilith thanked her.

"Are you so polite? Haha, I'll go out first and you have a good rest." Petunia said goodbye to Lilith.

in the afternoon.

Surrounded by a group of temple orcs, the high priest Leilana walked in.

Petunia, who was standing at the end of the team, quietly winked at Lilith on the stone bed.

"Lord Leilana, good afternoon." Lilith's mother, Kunta, happened to be there at this time.

Leilana smiled and nodded to Quinta: "Good afternoon, Mrs. Quinta."

"Little Lilith, do you still remember me?" Leilana smiled and walked to the stone bed.

Lilith certainly remembered the priest who helped her preside over her baptismal day.

"Lord Leilana, thank you for coming to see me." Lilith thanked her.

Leilana stretched out her hand and touched Lilith's forehead, just above the companion stone: "Let me help you take a look. How is the situation?"

Lilith nodded nervously.

Kunta stood aside and stared closely, without any thought to greet the temple orcs who came in.

Leilana whispered a prayer, and a light gray halo appeared around Lilith.

Seeing this, Lelana nodded invisibly.

Then, there was another prayer, and a trace of thought flowed from Leilana's fingertips, circulating around Lilith's body.

But after a moment, Leilana withdrew her hand: "It may have some impact on the bones. Fortunately, Lilith is a little female."

"Sir Leilana, it has some impact on the bones. How big is it?" Quinta didn't understand.

The priest who followed Lailana opened his mouth to explain to Quinta: "The poison used by Lilith is most likely aimed at the male orcs. Therefore, the negative impact is reflected in the body. The bones and muscles are the male orcs' martial arts. Foundation."

"Does this mean... will Lilith's bone growth be affected in the future?" Kunta asked uncertainly.

Lilith, who was a dwarf in her last life, now looked nervously at the priest who spoke.

The priest smiled and said: "It's a blessing in misfortune."

"Can I no longer grow taller?" Lilith asked anxiously. When she thought that she would only be the height of a four or five-year-old orc her whole life, her eyes darkened.

The priest was a little surprised, and then explained with a smile: "That's not to say...the toxin affects the bones. Since the little female beast is born without martial energy, it cannot use martial energy to remove the remaining toxins between the bones. It can only pass through Time, metabolize it."

The priest looked at Lilith with a soft look: "You are still young now, and it is the time of development, so the metabolic process will affect your height."

"Ah..." Because of her father and mother at home, Lilith always thought that she would be able to breathe the air at high places in this life.

Leilana looked at Lilith's buried little head and laughed.

She reached out and lifted Lilith's chin: "Little Lilith, why are you so disappointed? This negative impact will not endanger your life, and its impact on your life will be minimal."

"It will make me a little dwarf." Lilith was frustrated.

Leilana asked: "Isn't it bad for the dwarf?"

Lilith pouted: "I hope I can have a tall figure when I grow up."

"But you probably won't." Leilana laughed.

Lilith sighed.

"Lilith, I must tell you that in the continent of Lierz, the orcs will not respect you more because you are a tall orc, or they will look down on you because you are short." Leilana Her green eyes seemed to see far away.

Her voice sounded like emotion, but also seemed like the most sincere advice to the juniors: "The most important thing is always your strength and your heart."

After Leilana said this, she smiled and touched Lilith's forehead lightly.

Lilith nodded in understanding.

After Leilana smiled, she led a group of orcs and left the room.

Penny, who was last, gestured to Lilith to cheer her up.

~~~

The next day.

"Let's go, Lilith." Kunta wanted to pick up Lilith on the stone bed.

Lilith shook her head and rejected her mother's embrace.

"Mom, I want to go by myself." Lilith stood on the stone bed and put her hands on Kunta's neck.

"Okay~" Kunta tapped the tip of Lilith's nose and lifted her off the stone bed.

"I want to hold my sister! I want to hold my sister!..." Pappas jumped and shouted at the side.

"I want it too! I want it too~..." Antonio didn't jump, but his voice was not to be outdone.

Kunta looked at Lilith with a smile and asked her opinion.

Lilith stepped forward, holding Pappas with her left hand and Antonio with her right hand.

She looked at her two brothers on the left and right, and smiled with her teeth: "Let's go together!~"

"That's okay~" Pappas said as if he was reluctant, but the little animal ears on his head seemed to betray his feelings and stood tall.

"Yeah~" Antonio's snow-white plush tail circled Lilith, and at the same time, the tip of his silver-blue tail hooked Pappas' hand.

"Hahaha." Pappas was tickled by Antonio.

Kunta smiled and said: "Let's go, your father is still waiting outside the temple."

"Yeah, yeah." The three little orcs nodded in unison.

Accompanied by her mother and her third and fourth brothers, Lilith followed Sister Petunia through the dim temple corridor.

As soon as she left the temple, Lilith's eyes had just gotten used to the dazzling light in front of her, when she saw her father Mein, her second father Senasa, and her third father Als in front of her.

Lilith couldn't help but laugh. It would be great if her eldest brother Tepper and second brother Vasilio were here.

Pappas and Antonio, who were at hand, ran towards their father like they were having fun.

Petunia squatted down and was eye level with Lilith: "Lilith, after you leave the temple, you can come to me often~"

"Well~Sister Petunia." Lilith's eyes smiled like crescent moons.

Suddenly, Petunia put her hand on Lilith's shoulder, leaned into Lilith's ear, and said softly: "I'll wait for Lilith to come and tell me about Master Seth~"

"Seth?..." Lilith was suddenly startled when she heard the name.

Subconsciously, Lilith looked around, but there was no sign of Seth...

"Lilith?" Sister Petunia's smile was in front of her, and Lilith hadn't figured out how to answer.

Penny started the next topic and warned: "Don't worry too much about your body. As Lord Leilana said: The strength of an orc is not reflected on the outside."

Lilith said honestly: "Sister Petunia, I think a tall orc will be more beautiful."

"Huh? Hahahahahahaha. Lilith, you are so cute, hahahaha." Petunia raised her head with laughter.

Lilith said expressionlessly: "Sister Petunia!"

"Okay, okay, stop laughing." Penny corrected her expression, "Ahem. Tall orcs are indeed beautiful, but that doesn't mean short orcs are ugly. Hahaha."

Petunia rubbed Lilith's pouted little face: "You little stinker, when you grow up you will understand that there is no standard answer to beauty, and there is no definition of beauty."

"Oh." Lilith's mouth managed to make a sound under Petunia's face-rubbing attack.

Petunia whispered: "On the contrary, when the whole continent of Ertz is talking about fixed 'beauty', Lilith, you must be vigilant."

Lilith looked at Petunia with wide eyes.

But Petunia stood up, smiled and pressed Lilith's shoulders, helped Lilith turn around, and gave a gentle push: "Go, your mother and father have been waiting for you for a long time."

Quinta and Main, several adult orcs, were actually always around.

Waiting with a smile for Petunia and Lilith to say goodbye.

Now the two orcs have finally finished speaking.

Lilith's second father, Senasha, had a big smile on his face. He squatted down and spread his hands: "Come! Lilith, my second father will hug you."

Lilith looked at her second father's smile in the sun, and couldn't help but speed up her movements. After a while, she ran into the arms of her second father, Senasha.

Senasha hugged Lilith tightly with his hands, squatted on the ground and hugged her for a while, then stood up and put Lilith on his neck and sat down.

Lilith held her second father Sennasha's head, turned her upper body, and waved to Petunia who was standing outside the central temple.

After the family nodded to Penny, they turned and left the central temple in the sunshine.
