Travel through the city of orcs

"Warren, how long are you going to be this loose?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about, Dad."

Aubrey, who was sitting on the seat in the main hall, looked helplessly at the still cynical Warren standing below him with a headache, "You are an adult, do you want to do nothing for the rest of your life?"

Warren glanced at the tall city lord and his father, and smiled, "Father, didn't I handle the affairs of the city well when you were away? Doesn't this satisfy you?"

"That's—" Aubrey raised his voice, but then regained his composure, "Did you handle those matters independently? Why do I see Felix making the majority decisions for you?"

Warren shrugged, "Is there anything wrong with this, Dad? Didn't you always teach me that as a person in power, we need to learn to let our subordinates share some tasks for us? I think Felix is ​​doing a good job, and he is also you You are a proud subordinate, aren't you?"

"Warren, you are no longer a child. I can't stand behind you and watch you forever." Aubrey looked at his son who was standing below with a half-smile, and felt a bit tired in his heart. He waved his hand and said, "You go down first. Come on, think about it."

"Yes." Warren's expression remained unchanged, he saluted and turned to leave.

Watching Warren disappear outside the door, Aubrey couldn't hide his fatigue and disappointment, and leaned back in his chair with a sigh.

"My lord, drink some water." Adair came out from behind and brought a glass of water to Aubrey's hand. Seeing Aubrey's uneasy face, he couldn't help but persuade, "Warren The young master is still young, take your time, didn't Mr. Barry say that your body should not be bothered, you should take a good rest."

Aubrey took a sip from the water glass, closed his eyes again, and said softly, "Old man, why don't I want to take my time, but I don't have much time. Warren kid," Aubrey said His thoughts flew to that quiet town, and he murmured, "Even if, even if he is only half as steady as Claude..."

Adair, who lived with Aubrey in Pato for a while, heard Aubrey talking to himself, and the figure of the steady and silent young man also appeared in his mind, but he still persuaded, "After all, Young Master Warren He is still a few years younger, but Young Master Warren is still a very capable child, you must have confidence in Young Master Warren."

Hearing Adair's comforting words, Aubrey sighed again, pinched the bridge of his nose, and said wearily, "I hope."

It was night, and in a side hall, Warren sat reclined on the seat and stretched out his fingers to fiddle with the candle flames.

Percy walked in from the door and saw Warren so absent-minded, and asked, "Why aren't you asleep?"

Warren glanced at Percy, and chuckled as if remembering something, "It's boring to stay in the main city all the time, isn't it?"

"Huh?" Percy wondered how Warren could say such a sentence without thinking.

"It's been a long time since we went out to play." Warren didn't care about Percy's reaction, and continued, "Let's go out and play some days when the weather is good. An easy thing."

"Then, where do you want to go?" Percy heard Warren mentioning Aubrey, thinking about the city lord's increasingly indifferent attitude towards him, his face changed for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal, trying his best to express asked easily.

"Topah, of course." Warren said of course.

"What?!" Percy's face really changed this time.

"Seeing how much better my father's face looked after he came back from there, it must be a good place, of course we should go and have a look, and..." Warren said later, with a more interesting smile on his face, "There, there is still me The only, long-lost brother, isn't it?"

Listening to Warren's explanation, Percy's face became more and more ugly, but he didn't notice that Warren, whose smile did not enter his eyes, clenched his fists under his wide sleeves.

Warren looked at the main hall through the window lattice, his eyes were cold, Dad, since you said that I am not even half as good as Claude, then I naturally want to see my unmatched status in your heart What kind of excellent Dharma is my brother? Naturally, I want to learn from him to please you, don't you think so?

Aubrey's departure made Claude's family uncomfortable for a while. Cheng Chi would involuntarily produce more food every day when cooking, and Claude would subconsciously look at Aubrey after returning from hunting every day. Take a look at the rocking chair Li Ai is lying on.As for Ian, he was depressed for several days and couldn't get excited about doing anything. It wasn't until these two days that he regained his enthusiasm and followed Jerome Fix to play around with glutinous rice balls.

"Oh, my God, did you go rolling in the mud?" Cheng Chi ran to open the door after hearing Ian's cries and scratches in the kitchen, and looked down at Ian who had turned into two mud monkeys. And glutinous rice balls, stared wide-eyed.

Knowing that today's play was a bit too much, Ian looked at Cheng Chi innocently with his round dark green eyes, and stepped forward to rub Cheng Chi's trouser legs, but Cheng Chi quickly avoided it "Hey! Hey! Hey! You're still rubbing against me with mud all over your body, didn't you do it on purpose?"

Ian was aggrieved, and continued to open his eyes and yell twice in a low voice.

Cheng Chi glanced at Ian and Tangyuan, who were singing duet of Beast and Beast, sighed helplessly, bent down and walked to the bathroom with the little guy's neck in one hand, "You all stay in the bathroom for me, I'll boil the water, You are not allowed to leave the bathroom until you have finished taking a shower, or you will have no food today, do you understand?"

Both Ian and Tangyuan shook their tails vigorously and barked twice to express their understanding. Cheng Chi looked at the mud on the tail that had been thrown all over the ground, and went crazy again, "Don't wag your tail, I just finished cleaning!"

"Tell me, tell me, where did you two go to mess around again today, and come back with such a muddy face?" Cheng Chi poured warm water on Ian and Tangyuan again, and the mud on the two little guys It flowed along the water to the ground and turned into a puddle of muddy water, which made Cheng Chi couldn't help asking.

"Aww..." This was Ian's answer.

"Squeak..." This is Tangyuan's answer.

"Hey..." This was the response of Cheng Chi who rolled his eyes and was not proficient in animal language.

Although he is incompetent in communication, it does not prevent Cheng Chi from educating these two little guys, "I said, can you find a cleaner place to play next time? Come back with a muddy face, even if I I don’t think it’s troublesome to bathe you, but do you know how dirty the mud is? How many bacteria? What if you eat it and get diarrhea in your mouth? Do you like to drink Mr. Barry’s bitter concoction..."

Cheng Chi was speaking on the side of Barabara. At first, Ian and Tangyuan listened carefully with a good attitude, but later they couldn't help but hooked their paws and swung their tails to start a water fight. Cheng Chi suppressed this and jumped up again. , grabbed that one and started jumping up and down on the water again. After taking a bath after all the hard work, Ian and the glutinous rice balls were clean and delicious, but Cheng Chi became a drowned rat.

"You guys... ah chirp!" Cheng Chi pointed to the cleaned glutinous rice balls and Ian was about to say something when a gust of cool wind blew by and he sneezed involuntarily. First, the two little guys were taken aback, and then the two fluffy furballs who had just dried their hair began to grin silently again.

"Still laughing!" Cheng Chi reprimanded angrily, knelt down and touched the foreheads of the two hairballs one by one because of his serious face, "Do you know what mistake you made today? First, run to The one who went to play in the mud puddle came back sloppy and muddy. Second, he didn’t take a good bath in the bathroom, and the bathroom was full of water, and he couldn’t even shout. Tell me, how should I be punished?”

"Aww..." Ian yelled softly twice, flicking his tail, he stepped forward to please Cheng Chi, but was pushed back by Cheng Chi with a finger, "acting like a baby won't work today."

Hearing what Cheng Chi said, Ian stopped in his tracks, looked pitifully at the unmoved Cheng Chi several times, whimpered, turned and walked towards the living room, Tang Yuan saw the listless Ian walking away. Liao also followed up.

Cheng Chi saw Ian walking to the wall of the living room step by step, looking back at him pitifully again, reconfirmed that he would not change his mind, then stood up and stood against the wall helplessly, and performed a deep introspection—— Seeing Ian doing this, Tangyuan obediently stood aside and pressed her fat body against the wall to stand up.

Cheng Chi looked like an eggplant beaten by frost, and Ian snorted twice, "Stand still, I'll check the bathroom later!" He sneezed again.

Ian didn't dare to laugh again this time, and only whimpered to express his understanding.

After finishing the penalty, Ian spent the rest of the time circling Cheng Chi, either curling Cheng Chi's calf with his small tail, or pretending not to care, and rubbing past Cheng Chi several times, cutting on the desk. Cheng Chi, who was serving the dishes, watched Ian's careful flattery with a smile from the corner of his eye, and Tangyuan, who knew he had made a mistake, also squeaked and squeaked to pass vegetables and fruits to Cheng Chi.

"I said, were you so naughty when you were a child?" At night, Cheng Chi, who was lying on the bed, asked Claude who had just laid down with some puzzlement.

"Huh?" Claude froze for a moment when he heard Cheng Chi's nonsensical question, and then said with a smile, "I was very obedient when I was young."

"Then why is Ian so naughty?" Cheng Chi simply lay on his back and propped his head up, "You don't even know how much headache I had when I saw him covered in mud this afternoon, mud, how dirty, he If you just roll in it recklessly, what will you do if you have a stomachache?"

"Hey, don't worry," Claude was amused by Cheng Chi's serious look, and he hugged Cheng Chi into his arms, "Orc children are not as fragile as you think, children, you should have everything try it!"

"Hey, I'm serious," Cheng Chi struggled out of Claude's arms dissatisfied, "I know that children should have the spirit of exploration, and elders should support them, but there should be a limit to everything, is it dangerous? Let him go?"

"Okay, don't worry about Ian, you've been talking about him all night, I'm going to be jealous of that little guy!" Claude stepped forward to give Cheng Chi a light peck, and said half-truthfully.

"What, you're still jealous with the child!" Cheng Chi felt that Claude's jealousy was too inexplicable.

"That's because you paid too little attention to me..." Claude posted it with a smirk.

Another night of spring breeze.

"Achi, Achi..." Cheng Chi, who didn't know how long he had slept, felt as if he heard Claude's call in a daze.

Cheng Chi, who was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, waved his hands and muttered, "Don't make noise, let me sleep..."

"Achi, don't sleep, Achi, why are you feeling uncomfortable? Achi..." Claude was still trying to wake up Cheng Chi.

"What's the matter?" Cheng Chi opened his eyes and asked vaguely.

"Achi, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so red? It's also very hot?" Claude looked at the abnormally flushed Cheng Chi and asked worriedly.

"Eh?" Cheng Chi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his forehead, only then did he realize that his bones were sore and he had no strength at all.

"How is it? What's wrong with you?" Claude saw Cheng Chi's listless look, and asked, holding his hand a little closer.

At this time, Cheng Chi, who realized the discomfort, hummed in the mattress, "I'm uncomfortable, my whole body is sore, and I'm bored."

"Ah? Why did it happen all of a sudden?" Claude, who hadn't seen Cheng Chi's illness, panicked, got up and said, "How about I call Mr. Barry to show you?"

"Hey, don't," Cheng Chi grabbed Claude's clothes with great difficulty, "Don't call Mr. Barry, I might have caught a cold yesterday, just drink more water and take a rest."

"But can you just take a break like this?" Claude hesitated.

"Really, it will be better if you really rest," Cheng Chi replied quickly, and looked at Claude with a particularly sincere look, "Believe me, I know my own body, I don't want to drink that bitter medicine juice……"

Claude looked at Cheng Chi's pitiful begging face, and finally nodded softly and agreed, "Then you have a good rest, I won't go hunting today, I will take care of you at home, and I will pour some water for you."

Cheng Chi nodded in agreement.

Cheng Chi, who was served by Claude in the morning, washed up on the bed and drank rice porridge, continued to fall asleep dizzily. Claude frowned as he looked at Cheng Chi who was almost in a coma.

Cheng Chi, who woke up for the second time, was awakened by thirst. Cheng Chi, whose mouth was so dry, opened his eyes and wanted to ask Claude to pour him a glass of water, but found that Claude was no longer in the room. Called a few words and got no response.

"Where did you go?" Cheng Chi had no choice but to mutter something and then struggled to get up to get out of bed to get the water glass on the table.

Cheng Chi, who just got out of bed, heard that I was the sound of trotting outside the door. When the sound got closer, he realized that it was Ian who was running out of breath.

"Ian? Why did you come here? Didn't you go out to play?" Cheng Chi asked while taking a few big sips of water from the water glass. After replenishing the water, Cheng Chi felt more comfortable, and he bent down. With some difficulty, Ian picked up Ian and walked to the bed, "Do you know where your father is? Why did he disappear in the blink of an eye?"

Ian, who was lying back on the bed with Cheng Chi, just sobbed mournfully, from time to time, he pressed his small nose against Cheng Chi's cheek, or stretched out his small tongue to lick Cheng Chi's nose, a flash of light flashed in his dark green eyes. layers of tears.

Cheng Chi, who was unresponsive due to illness, realized that something was wrong with Ian. He smiled and stretched out his hand to rub Ian's little head, "What's wrong with Ian? Was he bullied?"

Ian still sobbed twice from time to time, repeating the action just now, Cheng Chi suddenly felt blessed, and asked, "Ian, don't you think you made me sick?"

Hearing Cheng Chi's words, Ian froze for a moment, tears rolled down the corners of his eyes, buried his little head between his front legs, wept, and his ears drooped.

Seeing the sad Ian who was crying, Cheng Chi couldn't help laughing, reached out his hand to grab Ian and hugged him in his arms, and ran down his hair, "Silly boy, it's because I'm not in good health, which has nothing to do with you It doesn't matter, don't cry, Daddy will get well soon with the baby. There is a saying in our place that only fools don't get sick. Daddy is not a fool, of course he will get sick..."

After Cheng Chi coaxed him for a while, Ian stopped crying, but with tears still in his eyes, he opened his small mouth and called out, "Oh~"

Cheng Chi looked at the pitiful Ian whose hair had fallen down from his crying face, and his heart softened into a puddle of water. He lowered his head and kissed Ian's forehead, "Daddy is a little tired, Ian will accompany you Daddy will sleep for a while, Daddy will get better soon after he sleeps."

Ian groaned twice and licked Cheng Chi's nose to express his agreement.

After a while, one person and one black panther cub leaned together like this and fell asleep.

Tangyuan, who came back from nowhere, was stunned for a moment after seeing this scene, put the fresh fruit in his paws next to Cheng Chi's pillow, curled up next to Ian and fell asleep holding Ian's tail .

And where did Claude go? Because Claude was really worried about Cheng Chi's health, he went to invite Mr. Barry over and over again.

Cheng Chi, who woke up for the third time, woke up completely this time. Looking at the serious Mr. Barry and the silly grinning Claude, he couldn't close his mouth for a long time, "I'm pregnant?!"
