Travel through the city of orcs

"You are Claude?" This was the first sentence Lei Boding said after seeing Claude.

Lei Boding's scrutinizing gaze made Claude feel a little uncomfortable, but thinking of what Cheng Chi said to him that Lei Boding was his only family-like friend in this world, Claude still nodded expressionlessly. Said, "Yes."

Claude's neither humble nor overbearing attitude made Lei Boding nodded. He sat on the reef with his tail immersed in the sea water, and patted the place beside him with his hand, "Sit down, my neck hurts from looking up at you all the time."

Lei Boting's familiar tone made Claude a little stunned, but he still pursed his lips and sat where Lei Boting was taking pictures.

"Then what are you going to do with A Chi now?" Claude's cooperation made Lei Boding very satisfied, and he turned his head and continued to ask.

"I want to ask A Chi to be my partner." Claude replied without thinking, looking at Lei Boding seriously and asked, "So, I want to ask you, how is your hometown? Asking someone to be your partner?"

Claude's blunt question made Lei Boding jump, ouch, good boy, I haven't mentioned the thing that made him like Cheng Chi to propose marriage, but he brought it up first.

Claude didn't know what Lei Boding was thinking, but continued to ask, "Maybe your place is the same as ours?"

"Of course it's different!" Lei Boding denied without thinking, "Let's go there, we have to propose, and propose with a ring, understand?"

"Ring?" Claude was a little confused.

"You don't have rings here?" Lei Boding was surprised.

"No..." Claude shook his head. "The rings here are a symbol of power. They are called power rings. Only leaders of various races have the right to wear them."

Lei Boting heard Claude describe the appearance of the ring, and rolled his eyes, "Of course it's not the ring with the size of a gemstone that can choke people to death. It's what the upstarts wear. What we want is simplicity, simplicity, and diamonds. Eternal, forever, one that will be passed on forever, do you understand?"

"Diamond?" Claude asked again.

"Yes, diamond, have you seen it?" Lei Boding nodded, described the appearance of the diamond to Claude, and then said pretending to be authoritative, "Let's go there, the bigger the diamond, the more sincere your love. Of course, you are not required to put all the diamonds as big as a fist on the ring setting. Let’s make something else out of the material, and give it to each other after we live together to show our sincerity.”

"Does it have to be a diamond?" Claude, now transformed into a good student who listens carefully, asked.

"Of course, diamonds are a symbol of loyal love in our place," Lei Boting said casually, and seeing Claude nodding seriously, he couldn't help asking, "Do you have diamonds here?"

Claude thought for a while and replied uncertainly, "Maybe there is, I will look for it."

After getting the answer, Lei Boding thought for a while and added, "It doesn't matter if you don't have one, you can use other gems instead, the important thing is sincerity, a diamond without sincerity is just a stone."

Looking at Claude who didn't know how much he had listened to, Lei Boding felt guilty for no reason. Isn't this guy a deadhead?If he doesn't marry Cheng Chi until he finds the diamond, then he will really be doing a disservice.

Thinking this way, Lei Boding began to say intentionally or unintentionally in the following conversation that although diamonds are important, don’t take it as the only criterion for constant love. They didn't seem to take it seriously, and just started to ask Lei Boding about the marriage proposal process in their hometown.

Seeing Claude's reaction like this, Lei Boting had no choice but to confess to Cheng Chi in his heart, and then began to teach Claude how to say the proposal, and threw out countless suggestions, Claude nodded and took notes carefully.

After Claude finished his education and left, Al, who was listening with gusto, came to Lei Boding's side, "What do you mean by having a bridal chamber?"

"Eh?" Turning his head to face Al who was in high spirits, Lei Boting showed a wicked smile, "Having a bridal chamber, that's an interesting thing, come on, let me tell you in detail... ..."

As a result, there was a second student who listened humbly on the reef by the sea, no less serious than Claude.

After returning home from Lei Boding's place, Claude thought about it for a day and made a detailed plan before finally starting his preparations for the proposal.

From that day on, Claude's hunting time in the dense forest was reduced to one-third of the usual time, and the rest of the time was either looking for diamonds in the dense forest, or he went to other towns to find out if there were such gems.

After a period of time like this, the hard work finally paid off. In the deepest and most dangerous place of Cloud Forest, I found an unpolished rough diamond that would be ignored if we were not paying attention.

Rupert, who was waiting for Claude to come out at the entrance of the dense forest, looked at Claude who was smiling brightly despite having many scars on his body, and felt a little sad for no reason. This time Claude will get what really belongs to him. love, right?

After returning to his home and letting Rupert treat his inaccessible wounds for himself, after some discussion, Claude decided to go to Boy Town to make the pair of rings, because there is a famous jewelry craftsman in the entire orc world.And Rupert, who is Claude's solid support group, naturally went with him, and by the way, he could bring back some nuts for Al.

After the discussion, the two made simple preparations. Rupert and Al passed their breath, Claude and Cheng Chi told a fib and said hello, and then they set off for Boy Town.

In front of experienced craftsmen, it is not difficult to polish diamonds into shapes. The difficulty lies in the small and bright diamonds that need to be polished, as described in the Lei Boding drawings.If he hadn't seen the detailed description on the drawing, the craftsman would have thought that Claude was here to mess things up.Fortunately, the craftsman has a paranoid spirit about his work. After confirming the feasibility of diamond-style polishing, his eyes glowed with enthusiasm. He believes that this will be a turning point in his crafting career. If he succeeds, I will stand on a new level.One is determined to climb the peak of craftsmanship again, and the other is determined to achieve it. The two of them buried their heads in the workshop almost without sleep for several days. A pair of simple but classic wedding rings was finally produced.

When Rupert, who couldn't help him, could only wander around Boi town with nothing to do, saw Claude again, he was taken aback by his bloodshot eyes and pale face.

After some rest, the two started their journey home again.

After the two returned to Topa Town after a good night's rest, the next day, after nightfall on the first day Claude proposed to Cheng Chi, Claude brought the things he bought from Boyi Town, and the family One family knocked on the doors of families with young orcs in the town and expressed their requests.

That night, everyone accepted the small gift from Claude with a smile of blessing, and agreed to his request.

After Claude delivered the last gift in his hand, the residents of Topa Town had almost fallen asleep. Claude, who made a detour to the door of Cheng Chi's house, looked at the window where Cheng Chi had already extinguished the candles. Thinking of the coming tomorrow, a gentle and sweet smile appeared on his face.
