Job hunting in another world [Western Fantasy]

The moon and stars were sparse, and the night in Reef City was exceptionally quiet.Aldrich lit the kerosene lamp and took out a piece of parchment.

It was a contract to exchange the magic crystal for the carriage, and Aldrich actually bought the carriage.

"There is another piece of news." Aldridge said: "The current princess of the Orc Empire is named Diana Peters. Her animal form is a night wolf. When she was a child, she was unable to transform into a human form due to a curse."

Noah asked: "But it's resolved now?"

"That's right, the palace solved this problem for her. There is no other way but the palace." Aldrich shook his head: "I can't find any other news."

Julian asked: "Then what do we do now? Are we going to the palace?"

Noah shook his head: "According to your friend, Sawyer Scott, it is not advisable to travel during the cold wave, and now is the time when the Lion Prince is favored in the palace. Even if we go to the palace, we can't get it." help from the palace."

"It's better to just wait here for the cold wave to pass, and we can prepare for more time." Noah said.

In the next period of time, Aldrich was still out to inquire about news.Today, the orc empire can smell an atmosphere of uneasiness, but for the orcs living in the Reef City, what they need to be wary of is still the enemy at sea, and civil wars generally cannot be fought here.And even when it comes to the civil war, they don't care much. They often say to Aldrich: "It's just like that anyway, we orcs haven't seen anything."

The orc empire has a very long history, and any reasonable or unreasonable changes, rebellions, and disasters have been seen.They value history, and can see various lessons and coping methods from history, so they are much calmer than other races.Moreover, the orc empire has been in contact with various civilizations, absorbing everything, and being tolerant of all rivers, they have also developed their rather broad minds today.

"I heard that you humans have many races, and a certain country may even have multiple races ruling at the same time." The orc friend said to Aldridge: "This is so interesting, don't they know how to fight?"

Aldrich discovered that the orcs cared more about politics than any creature he had ever seen, and knew the secrets of the palace like the back of their hands.It is said that the palace of the Orc Empire is located on the snow-fallen peaks of the Big Story Mountains all the year round.Every winter, when the Ice and Snow Festival comes, the palace will open its gates, and anyone is welcome to enter the palace to play.This is an extremely confident and calm attitude, and the orcs are proud of it.

Thanks to the orc friends who didn't hesitate to talk about politics and war, Aldrich heard a lot about the current situation in the palace, and also learned that after the cold wave, the princess would return to the palace.

The current king took the throne after killing his elder brother. He now has a son and a daughter. His elder sister, Diana Peters, has been leading the army to fight outside, defending the border and peace of the orc empire, and its great reputation resounds throughout the northern continent. Much loved in the military.However, Diana's younger brother, Prince Fit Peters, is not simple. He has been operating in the palace for many years and is deeply loved by the king and favored by ministers.

Prince Feite believes that the orc empire has reached the time of recuperation, and the perennial war will only make the whole country more and more exhausted. The tax in the name of war is getting higher and higher, and the people can hardly bear it. In this war, the Orc Empire should seek peace.

The king originally wanted to pass the position to his daughter Diana, but under the persuasion of Prince Fit Peters day after day, the balance in his heart slowly tilted.

The king's hesitation brought hostility and competition between the two factions, not only the princess faction and the prince faction, but also the wolf faction and lion faction who were incompatible.Until this summer, Prince Feite sued the king. The princess used the military power to amass wealth and act recklessly. He suggested that the princess should take back the military power in the hands of the princess and let her return to the palace to report on her duties. long lasting friendship.

For example, the human empire in the south.

Princess Diana was far away in the southeast. She had just beheaded a kobold, and her hands were still stained with the cold, sticky blood of the kobold.

She was riding on horseback, and when she heard the news, she immediately cursed, regardless of the sibling relationship—"My younger brother, Fate Peters, is more beautiful and charming than me, and he must be better at obtaining the friendship of the Human Empire for the Orc Empire .”

"As for his stupid political opinions, let that guy who has never seen blood come to the front line and talk his shit to the fangs of this group of humanoids."——This sentence was sent back to the big In the palace of the Storley Mountains.

In fact, however, the princess was not that angry.It was something that was bound to happen, and she never had expectations of her brother, even though they had played snowball fights together as children.

Afterwards, the king made up his mind to announce that Prince Feite Peters was the heir at the Ice and Snow Festival after the cold wave. daughter.

Aldrich asked how those orcs viewed the princess and prince?

"This may be the curse of the Peters family." The orcs said with emotion: "In recent years, there have been several civil strife in the empire. The first was 13 years ago, when the orc empire was on the verge of splitting, and the Holt family unified the empire , but he didn't know how to govern the country, and was soon put in a cage by his subordinate General Peters. The support came back, and it was the princess who quelled the war—she was there at that time."

"She is a genius on the battlefield. She is best at fighting with fewer enemies and using terrain. Compared with the boastful prince, the princess on horseback is more popular. What we want is not to make peace with the humanoids, but to completely conquer them, Incorporate the southeast into the territory of the orc empire."

Most orcs think so.

"The southeast is originally the territory of the orc empire, and it must be taken back in my lifetime."

"Actually, whether it's the wolf faction or the lion faction, as long as it can benefit the orc empire, why not?"

"Those territories are around the Orc Empire, and they should belong to the Empire as a matter of course."

"When a princess fights a war, she cherishes the lives of soldiers very much."

"But it does cost money to fight... if only it didn't cost money."

Noah also listened to such discussions with relish.

He has been studying Orc language seriously recently, but the progress is mediocre.Aldrich has a talent for languages, and has been mixed among the orcs, so his orc language becomes more and more fluent and pleasant to hear.The orc taught him how to bend a bow and shoot arrows in his spare time. He was very impressed by Aldrich's talent and even gave him a set of bows.

"You are a natural fighter, may God bless you."

Sawyer Scott is a believer in the god of war, the god of cold, the god of luck and the god of strong wine. When he said this kind of blessing, he usually referred to it as a god for short. He just hoped that the gods in the sky could bless him What does it mean.

Noah found that the Orc Empire's attitude towards God was much more casual.Their main beliefs are the god of war and cold, as well as the god of luck and light from humans, the god of moonlight and nature from elves, the god of forging and spirits from dwarves, It even includes the belief in ancient gods in the southeast, as well as some unnamed alien gods... Everyone competes freely in this vast and cold land. It is no problem for ordinary orcs to believe in two or three gods. Doctrinal confusion, they themselves do not care.

The orcs seldom talked about gods and beliefs in their daily lives, but instead talked about various things in the palace as casual chats after dinner.One dirty word from the princess, and they can talk about it with gusto all autumn.

That night, the cold wave was still there, and Aldrich and Noah were outside Reef City. They had just returned to the ark, took some magic crystals and books, and were preparing to return to Sawyer Scott's home.

"There are still ten days, and the cold wave will be over." Noah said in orc language, and he was working hard to practice his own orc language: "If we wait until the ice and snow festival, we can go to the palace openly and ask for the king's help. If If the king disagrees..."

Noah was vague for a moment: "We can only think of other ways. It is also very important to know what method the palace used. Potion or some prop."

"Evelia, as the daughter of Earl Degar, should not be rejected." Aldrich said: "The Orc Empire is short of finances, and their fighters are indeed very brave, but it is also true that the treasury is empty, and taxes are increasing year by year."

"They need money very much. Evelia happens to have what they need, whether it's money or ores that can forge weapons. To be honest, I don't think what Prince Feite said is completely wrong. Perhaps the Orc Empire should really cultivate After resting for a period of time, it has experienced three civil wars, which has greatly consumed the national strength of the empire."

Noah said: "But the Orc Empire is located in such a position that any forces around it are eyeing it. It is a country that has contact with humanoids, dwarves, elves, and humans. As long as it relaxes a little, it will be destroyed. Torn to shreds."

Aldrich thought about it carefully, and said: "The positions they stand on are all too extreme. This is a matter of finding a balance..."

Noah said lightly: "They know. Whether it's Princess Diana or Prince Feite, they must know how to make the orc empire develop. It is only to gain the support of some orcs that they show a more intense attitude, including their clear And a very different position..."

They were discussing, suddenly a scream came, interrupting Noah's words.

Noah and Aldridge glanced at each other, and the two briskly went to the source of the sound, carefully concealed their figures, and then looked over there.

In the darkness, two groups of people were fighting, one of them was wearing red leather armor, there were only three or four people, they were extremely fierce and bloody.The other team wore messy armor, but they were numerous and quickly killed the few red leather armored warriors.

All that remained was a red-haired woman in leather armor riding on horseback.
