Travel through the city of orcs

Later, Cheng Chi, who heard what had happened, shook his head and recited a few old sayings, such as the law of heaven should not be full, and people should be afraid of being full, the moon will lose when it is full, and the flowers will fade when they bloom; for example, if you want to make it perish, you must first make it crazy; For another example, the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows.

Warren, on the other hand, witnessed the final outcome of the matter.

When he was taken from the room under house arrest to the meeting hall, Warren felt that the surrounding environment was eerie and quiet all the way. The closer he got to the main hall, the fainter smell of blood became stronger.

When the door was opened, the source of the bloody smell was explained. The originally magnificent meeting hall was now turned into a Shura field, and dismembered orc bodies were scattered everywhere. Most of the corpses belonged to hyenas, and the blood was red. It has become the main color of this hall today, which all proves how fierce battles took place in this hall before this.

Warren, who seemed to be dazzled by the red color of the blood, closed his eyes before opening his eyes and looking at the male orc standing in the center of the hall with a slight smile and looking at him in gorgeous and spotless clothes, "Arthur... ..."

"Yes, my lord, it's my subordinate's fault for scaring you these few days." Arthur raised the corners of his mouth, knelt down on one knee, and put one hand on his chest. All the traitors who conspired against us have been wiped out, and these nobles and subordinates have also been controlled and handed over to you."

Warren glanced at the nobles who were escorted by the saber-toothed tiger and knelt on the ground trembling and bloodless, and finally set their sights on Felix, who was not far away from Arthur, whose eyes were wide open but lifeless, and Felix, who was splashed with blood. Looking at Carter with a lifeless face, Warren looked back at Arthur for a while, "You... did a good job, where are Mr. Adair and Mr. Jeff?"

"Mr. Adair and Mr. Jeff were attacked by surprise earlier, and they are recuperating at home at the moment." Arthur stood up from the ground at this moment, and replied.

"That's it..." Warren nodded slowly, he waved his hand and said tiredly, "I'll leave the affairs here to you. As for these rebellious nobles, I will also leave them to you. I'm a little tired .”

"Okay, please rest well." Arthur didn't ask much, just nodded, and then watched Warren leave.

After Warren left, Arthur glanced casually at the nobles kneeling on the ground trembling, raised the corners of his mouth, "There is definite evidence to prove that those who participated in this rebellion, kill, and the rest... sort out the search I will ask the city lord to decide what I have arrived."

"Yes." The saber-toothed tiger captain nodded, raised his hand and waved it down. Before the nobles had time to react, several heads rolled to the ground. The body fell on the ground, which made those nobles whose heads and necks were not separated limp on the ground, unable to say a word.

Arthur glanced at the nobles with eyes like looking at garbage, then walked out, "Clean it up."

"Yes." Captain Saber-toothed Tiger saluted.

"My lord, my subordinates think that it is necessary for you to explain this unexpected opinion to your subjects after you finish the repairs." Arthur, who had dealt with those trivial matters, came to Warren's office room and said straight to the point.

"Arthur, I want you to do something for me." Warren didn't respond to Arthur's suggestion, and said something else.

"Yes, please tell me." Arthur saluted, "I will deal with it for you as soon as possible."

"Go to Pato Town and invite Claude here." Warren leaned back on the chair, his eyes not bright at all. "I want to make way for him. He is more suitable to be the lord of the city than me."

Hearing Warren's request, Arthur raised his eyebrows without raising any objection, "Okay."

Watching Arthur turn and leave, Warren seemed relieved that he could finally pay back what Claude owed him.

After returning to his home, Arthur looked at his lover who was holding a meat ball and chattering, and waved to him. When he was about to walk in front of him, he reached out and threw the meat ball out of his hand and threw it My lover embraced him, kissed his lover's small nose and asked him with a smile, "Honey, do you want to go out and relax?"

"What? I'm the lord of the city?" Claude looked at the young man standing at the door of his house with an extraordinary demeanor and a very formulaic smile, thinking that the other party was joking.

"Yes, that's what the city lord meant." Arthur nodded and replied simply.

"Warren? What happened to Warren? Why did he make such a request? Did something happen to him?" Hearing Arthur mention Warren, Claude frowned.

"Perhaps, can you allow me to go in and tell you in detail what happened recently?" Arthur did not answer Claude's question, but made another request of his own.

"Of course." Claude glanced at the group of orcs standing outside neatly and expressionlessly, and nodded.

Claude, who led Arthur and the teenagers beside him into the house, made a comforting expression to Cheng Chi who was standing in the living room and had been paying attention to him, and then turned around and introduced, "This is my partner, Cheng Chi .”

Arthur smiled, nodded, and introduced himself and the teenager beside him, "Hello, please allow me to introduce myself, I am Arthur, the current patriarch of the White Tiger Clan, and this is my partner, He Kaiwen .”

Hearing Arthur's introduction, Cheng Chi frowned, but still smiled gently, "Hello, welcome to you and your partner."

Claude stepped forward to support Cheng Chi, and said to Arthur and He Kaiwen, "Please sit down, I'll pour you a cup of tea."

After Arthur and He Kaiwen expressed their gratitude, they sat in the living room with Cheng Chi.

"It seems that you and Mr. Claude are living a very warm life." Arthur looked around the room, and then greeted politely.

Cheng Chi smiled, "Claude and I are ordinary people, and we live ordinary lives. Sometimes an ordinary and peaceful life is equal to warmth."

"I'm used to seeing the hustle and bustle of the main city, but I think it's good to spend a period of time in such a peaceful life," Arthur said.

"It's a good idea to change your lifestyle once in a while," Cheng Chi nodded, "but maybe if you live like this for a long time, you'll think it's too ordinary."

"I won't, I think living in such a town is much better than living in the main city," said the handsome young man Kaiwen He, who was sitting next to Arthur, but he occasionally bumped into words, "The main city is noisy. Yes, it's making my head hurt."

"So didn't I take you out to relax?" Hearing what Kaiwen said, Arthur lost that alienated and polite expression, and held He Kaiwen's hand helplessly and said.

"So I'm very happy." Arthur's action made He Kaiwen's fair face blush, and he lowered his head and whispered uncomfortably.

Seeing his lover's shy look, Arthur only smiled and squeezed He Kaiwen's hand, without saying anything, raised his head and said to Cheng Chi who was looking at the two of them with a smile, "Kevin always said he wanted to I came out for a walk, so I took advantage of this time to go out of the city to do business, so I brought him here."

"If you're not in a hurry to go back, there are indeed a few places in the town where you can take a good stroll, and the scenery is still very good." Cheng Chi looked at the undisguised love in Arthur's eyes, and enthusiastically introduced a few places to them. A good place to see the scenery.

"Tea, please." While discussing the sea view of Pato Town, Claude came to the living room with tea, put it in front of everyone, and then sat down beside Cheng Chi.

Arthur praised the fruit tea served by Claude in a very typical way before finally getting to the point, "So, what do you think about the request made by the city lord?"

"If you don't mind, I still want to ask Warren how he is doing now?" Claude was already driven mad by Arthur's 'prelude to aristocratic nonsense', and finally waited until Arthur said On the topic, Claude simply asked the question he wanted to ask.

"The city lord is fine at the moment." Arthur didn't go around in circles with Claude, and gave the answer happily.

"It's good now?" Claude grasped the key point in this sentence, "Wasn't it good before?"

"This..." Arthur pondered for a moment, then turned his head and said to He Kaiwen, "Kevin, didn't you just say that the flowers in the yard of Mr. Claude's house are blooming very well? Why don't you take a look at it now? , we may have to leave later.”

Hearing what Arthur said, He Kaiwen nodded obediently, stood up and prepared to leave.

"Mr. Kevin," Cheng Chi called He Kaiwen when he was about to leave, "I also want to go to the yard to bask in the sun and get some fresh air. Can we go together?"

"Oh, of course." He Kaiwen glanced at Cheng Chi's stomach with some envy, and nodded without hesitation.

"Honey, Mr. Kevin and I will go out and have a chat. You can talk slowly." Cheng Chi said to Claude, and after Claude nodded, he walked towards the front yard with Kevin with a smile.

The two walked to the front yard together, He Kaiwen carefully helped Cheng Chi to sit on the wooden chair that Claude specially made for him, then sat down opposite Cheng Chi himself, and took a look at the surroundings that were well taken care of flowers and plants, and said enviously, "I've always wanted to have a small garden like this."

Cheng Chi looked at He Kaiwen who was looking at his garden like a harmless little rabbit, and suddenly spoke the two long-lost languages ​​of the earth, "Doyoulikeit? Maybe you can ask Mr. Arthur to build a small garden like this. "

Cheng Chi's words made He Kaiwen round his watery eyes.

"Can you tell me how Warren is doing? Or what happened in the main city during this period?" Claude asked directly after Cheng Chi and He Kaiwen left.

"Of course, I'll tell you everything..." Arthur took a sip of fruit tea and replied slowly.

The time of the narration was not long, and Arthur only picked important things to talk about, but it was enough for Claude to understand the danger and bloodiness of the situation at that time.

It took a long time for Claude to ask Arthur with a sullen face, "So Warren said he doesn't want to be the lord of the city anymore and wants me to be?"

"Yes," Arthur nodded, "so what do you mean, Mr. Cloud?"

"I won't take this position. The most suitable person is Warren." Claude replied firmly without thinking.

Arthur didn't seem surprised by this answer at all. He just smiled and said casually, "Then it won't be easy for me to go back to the city lord!"

"Don't you care about this at all?" Seeing Arthur's look of having nothing to do with himself, Claude couldn't help asking, "Isn't the change of the city lord the most influential to you? Why do you seem to Does it look like nothing matters?"

"My duty is to protect my people and be loyal to the city lord," Arthur said lightly. "As for who the city lord is, I don't care."

After receiving such an answer, Claude was silent for a while, then raised his head and said firmly, "I will go back to the main city with you, I need to talk to Warren."

"Of course, this is the best." Arthur nodded, expressing his approval.

And Warren, who has not officially appeared in public since the rebellion, is lying in the garden of the palace watching the spring breeze blowing the lake into ripples.

Today's Warren may be said to be calm, he is waiting, waiting for Claude's arrival, and then handing everything over to him, he will leave this bustling main city to live an ordinary life incognito.

During this period, Adair and Jeff came several times, and both of them strongly disagreed with Warren's decision, but the good words did not change Warren's mind. Today, as usual, they came to persuade and returned disappointed. .

Warren, who was a little dazzled by the sun, couldn't help squinting his eyes, but at this moment he felt a menacing murderous aura rushing towards his face, and he subconsciously turned over and transformed into a black panther. Dodging to the side, dodging the object that was rushing towards him.

Warren, who jumped out of the danger zone, instinctively bared his teeth and wanted to rush towards the object, but stopped after seeing the object clearly, "Claude?"

Claude growled and scratched his paws, and replied in a low voice, "Yes, it's me."

Hearing Claude's voice, Warren put away his fangs and claws, and resumed his gentle and harmless posture, "You're here, just right, I..."

Just as Warren was about to transform back into the orc form, Claude threw him to the ground. Claude put his paws against Warren's neck, looked down at him and asked, "Why aren't you the city lord? Give me this position?"

Warren glanced at Claude with deep eyes, lay down on the ground and said in a low voice, "These should belong to you in the first place, shouldn't they, but now they are just returned to you."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" If Claude was in orc form at this moment, Warren could probably see Claude's frown that could kill a mosquito.

"I'm not talking nonsense," Warren replied, looking at the blue sky. "I'm a piece of trash. I thought I relied on my father's pampering and indulgence to do whatever I wanted. I thought my marriage was just an exchange of benefits. I thought I I am omnipotent, I thought I could control the world. Now the reality has given me a slap in the face, my dad doesn't love me, and the only Percy who loves me has given up on this love, I thought it was so simple The government affairs left me at a loss, and in the end, even my people and those nobles wanted to overthrow me..."

Snapped!Before Warren finished speaking, he was slapped heavily on the face. Before he could feel the burning pain, Warren was picked up from the ground by Claude who had transformed into an orc, "Change back , into orc form, I have something to tell you."

Warren, who had never seen Claude so angry, subconsciously changed back to the orc form according to Claude's request, but just after putting on his clothes, he slapped Claude again.

"Yes, you are indeed a waste. Do you still remember the way you looked at me when we met for the first time? You looked at me as if you were looking at a puddle of mud, but what about you now? Now you also look like a What about your pride? Where's your self-confidence? Where's your publicity?"

Clap, another slap, followed by Claude's voice, "Dad doesn't love you? How can you say such a thing? If Dad didn't love you, he wouldn't be worrying about it in front of me The problems you may encounter after becoming the lord of the city, he will not beg me to help you when you are in trouble the night before leaving Pato Town. What should belong to me? Give it back to me? I am The happiest, you are an abandoned child, you have nothing? I am so happy that I have to share the burden of the family since I was a child, and I live a hard life every day. I am so happy that I have to think about contact hunting and work harder than others to avoid getting out of the dense forest. Come on, when I am so happy, when I am sad, when I am tired, when I miss you, I don’t dare to ask Daddy where my father is, why don’t you watch me grow up? And what were you like at that time? Under the care of your loving father, you grew up carefree. You will always have someone to clean up your troubles, and someone will always tolerate your willfulness. He taught you how to hunt, how to deal with government affairs, and even paved everything for you in his absence. In the future, who will treat me like that? How can you say that you have nothing? From the beginning to the end, my father preferred you to be the lord of the city. From the beginning to the end, he thought you were the best candidate for his heir! "

Slap, another slap, "You said that the tribe and those nobles came together to overthrow you. Before that, did you make any effort? Uncle Adair and Uncle Jeff told me how these days are, you are decadent You are negative, you turn a blind eye to all hidden dangers, what do you want to do? Do you ruin everything your father has worked so hard to maintain? His love and concern for you get you in return? You just immerse yourself in what you call Self-pity and self-pity in the abandoned world, staring at the so-called loss and so-called harm, and the indulgence that caused all this. It's not someone else, but yourself! It's just a letter that destroys everything about you Right? Yes, your Daddy and Dad each have someone they love, but have they never said they don’t love you? Have they neglected you since childhood? In front of those nobles and clansmen, you behaved like a qualified Have you ever been the son of the lord of the city? Have you tried to save Percy from you? Everyone is sorry for you, but are you worthy of them? Have you fulfilled your duty as a son? Have you fulfilled your duty as a partner? Do you try your best Become a qualified city lord?"

As he spoke, Claude grabbed Warren by the collar and pulled him in front of him, staring sharply into his eyes and asked word by word, "Tell me, how long will you be like this muddy mud? How long are you going to be stuck in the web you spun? Do you really feel guilty? Do you really feel indebted to me? Then cheer up, then live like a good orc for me, then fuck you up Do everything well! Remember, dignity is not given by others, but earned by yourself! If you can’t do it, say now, I don’t know how to be a qualified city lord, and I won’t sit on it. In this position, as long as you say that you can't do it, I can bite your throat right now, instead of letting you live in such a self-pity and ignorance to disturb the sleeping father, let me end the status quo of you, a coward!"

After speaking, Claude let go of his hand and watched Warren slumped on the ground in a daze.

The two stood and sat one by one for a long time. Gradually, there was a small sobbing sound in the garden, and finally, the sound became louder and louder. Warren buried his face in his knees Weeping loudly.

Looking down at the crying Warren, Claude heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

After Claude left the main city, Warren locked himself in the room and ignored no one. When Adair was anxious to find someone to knock on the door, Warren opened the door that had been closed for three days, but This time, Warren's eyes are no longer negative and depressed, but more smug and high-spirited.

Gradually, everyone felt that Warren became more and more like the resolute and decisive Aubrey at the time. The nobles also put out some eager thoughts, and the eyes they looked at Warren were no longer contempt but reverence. Arthur's eyes There was a hint of appreciation in the eyes, and there was more relief in the eyes of Adair and Jeff.

In a quiet alley in the main city, there was a knock on the door of an ordinary courtyard.

"Which one?" The owner of the yard asked as he opened the door, and stopped when he saw someone coming.

"Hey, buddy, come with me to eat the most famous barbecue at Uncle Jacques's!"

The vigorous voice, the sunny smile, the sun shining through the leaves on the familiar yet unfamiliar face, Percy stared blankly for a long time, wanted to laugh but burst into tears.

With a sigh, Percy was pulled into a long-lost warm embrace, "I'm sorry, give me another chance to pursue you again."
