Autumn is here, and autumn is about to pass. The breeze blowing across the playground has brought a deep coolness. At this time of the season, most of the orc students will leave the human settlements and return to their own tribes.

Riel watched his roommate reluctantly prepare the luggage, and fell silent in a rare way.One of his roommates found out about his emotions.

"You..." he said hesitantly, "don't you want to go to our place?"

"No," Rael said, "I just—just remembered my tribe."

"Oh." His roommate said, and asked, of course, "Where is it?"

"Forgot." Riel said, he looked up to the roof, "I was only a few years old when I left the tribe, and I didn't even know how many rivers were nearby. No, I didn't even know how big my tribe was."

"If it's really big, you won't be sold," said the roommate.

"Maybe." Riel said a little listlessly.

"Do you want to go back?"

"No," Riel said immediately, and he thought for a moment, "I just, uh, I just...discovered that I should have a tribe too."

The roommate looked at him inexplicably, unable to understand his feelings at all, Riel also felt inexplicable, and finally he felt that he had eaten too much recently, and there was nothing to do for the time being, so that his mind was idle, after all They have just finished a difficult exam, and the frightening results have not yet come out.

Riel had already talked with the teacher after the exam and confirmed the tribe he was going to. Although he was also preparing the necessary things, he would not be like other tribe boys—if the bed boards were allowed to be taken back, they would definitely Will take pains to remove it and carry it on my back.Uh, this is just a way of saying, not that they will really do this. In the past few months of learning experience, every orc who has not been driven away knows that the most precious thing for humans is that they can get it from humans. What is the most valuable thing.Even as a beneficiary, Riel must be jealous of those tribes who are hesitant or hostile to these humans, especially those big shots in the capital. If they know nothing about this, it must be a kind of happiness .

The day to leave is tomorrow, and the exam ended yesterday. Today, the teachers have told them what to pay attention to on the way back, and assigned them homework—whether they can come back or not.Everyone put their things into the animal skin backpack and put it in the left corner of the bed.After returning from the auditorium, the heated discussion on the ending of the big picture film gradually calmed down, and a gloomy atmosphere enveloped the entire dormitory.

Because we are leaving tomorrow, the human teachers have granted permission to go to bed later tonight.If it was before, even two days ago, even if they knew that the exam was tomorrow, these energetic orc teenagers would definitely do their best to toss, but now, everyone doesn't know what to do, or what to think .An emotion as strong as when they left the tribe, perhaps even stronger, sprouted in their hearts, and some even sighed awkwardly.

"We're leaving..."

"Oh." Someone answered him.

"Can we come back?" someone asked.

"Someone will definitely be able to come back." Someone said sourly.

Riel lay on his bed, laughing silently.Then someone patted him, and a leopard boy who was sleeping next to his head came over, "Riel," he asked, "what did the teacher tell you?"

Riel has a good relationship with him, "It's nothing."

Not only the leopard boy, but others also expressed doubts.

"The teacher asked me to listen more, see more, and think more." Riel said, "The most important thing is to ask the adults for their opinions before doing anything." He curled his lips.

There was another sigh. "Anyway, you won't stay in the tribe for long, let alone do anything." Someone said.

"I can do a lot of things." Riel said, "Give me half a month, and I can build you a small house."

"Then you have to have enough tools, and you have to let others listen to you to help you." The leopard boy said, "This is no easier than learning the skills ourselves."

"Based on the skills we have learned, can we still control others when we return to the tribe?" Riel said, "What you have learned can be used by anyone, maybe there are no elders and patriarchs who you know There are so many skills, they know what you know, so they will keep you idle? Those are not witchcraft."

The leopard boy thought for a while, and said hesitantly: "Yes, we have indeed learned a lot... But the teachers said that we are still far away from building a house, and we will never be able to build a big house like a dormitory. Come out, in fact, we can't build a small house like Sacher's original place..."

"If you teach the tribe what you have learned, it will make them live better than before no matter what." Riel said.

No one refuted his words, of course it wasn't because he got good grades and became the class monitor or something. The teenagers nodded on their beds and talked about what they learned here that surprised even themselves.Before coming here, before the course started, all the tribal orcs had great wariness and deep doubts about the so-called teachings of humans. Even after witnessing various deeds, they still could not understand the wisdom and power of humans. To what extent, only after learning, accepting all kinds of teachings that make people breathless, and swallowing as much as possible what is placed in front of them like being whipped on the head by an invisible whip, can the teenagers truly realize , to be able to make them learn this, and humans who can learn in this way, what a... miracle.

In fact, they once secretly called these humans monsters.

Of course, the biggest monster is basically no one dares to talk about it.

In just a few months, their progress was like... not so nice to describe, as obvious as changing from a beast to a man.The biggest difference between beasts and humans is that humans can make and use tools. Looking at the past with the thoughts that humans poured into their heads, many tribal people seem to be no smarter than nesting birds and monkeys fighting with stones and smashing fruit.But now, the young orc has basically learned a part of human language, can write a little text, mastered counting from one to one hundred, addition and subtraction within twenty, and memorized a thing called a multiplication table. Can distinguish simple hemostatic and detoxifying herbs, can use specific prey to boil out jelly, use it to make longbows or build houses, almost all girls have learned to use looms, and use the processed fibers to spin and then weave Cloth, a part of the boys have also mastered this skill...

They first stayed in the comfortable school in the settlement for one and a half months, then they were taken to the original place of Sasheer, and then returned to the settlement. I learned how to grow crops online, but I haven't learned how to tell when it's time to plant.Only those who have experienced it know how tiring these seemingly unskilled farm work is. After half of the semester, during the only holiday of the week, everyone puts all the fun on the first enjoyment of sleeping after.Human teachers have never relaxed their requirements for homework because of this. In the hall on the second floor of the Crystal Palace, there are teenagers who are punished every night because they cannot complete their homework.The content of the punishment will not bring them any physical pain, but standing by the railing with their backs to everyone, listening to the sound from the big picture behind them, they can only imagine it Human suffering has never been less.

Human beings gave these orcs better conditions for learning and living than they had in the past. No matter they are sick or injured, they can be well taken care of. Apart from learning, they almost don’t have to worry about anything, but learning itself is not a comfortable thing. The teachers are determined not to let anyone get under their eyes.Because some children who are particularly good at studying and are particularly gifted in arithmetic have barely calculated the consumption of so many of them staying here, and the food alone is enough to make the teenagers dizzy.Of course, humans have the ability to produce so much food, prepare so many materials, and have such profound wisdom to teach their apprentices, but what else can these tribesmen use to pay for their tuition other than their own lives?If they don't want their lives, what do humans want from them?

Only a very small number of people think that the reason for everything is that human beings are too stupid, just like their god-like magician.

The teacher told them to tell them why if they were still here after a year.

"What's the reason?" Riel said to himself, and his dormmates had become active again. They picked up the skills they were sure they knew, compared them with what they had learned before leaving the tribe, and they were very sure of these Talent is enough to make them respectable figures in their tribe, even if it doesn't matter the size-in fact, there is no need to compare anyone, everyone knows that they have grown taller and stronger here.As for the girls living in another place, no matter which family they marry into, they will be able to be the head of the family immediately, and they will also receive a lot of respect. Of course, it is best and most suitable for them to be with them.

"What if they stay here?" Riel asked.

"Even if humans want them to work here, they'll find a man in the end," said the other boys.

Riel snorted softly and said in a low voice, "Then they may not want you."

They and they are all human students. When teachers call "those children" and "those teenagers", they never distinguish between males and females, even because girls are more obedient and learn new things more seriously and faster , many teachers showed that they liked them more.The teachers were both male and female, and one of the teachers who came to teach them general knowledge was pregnant.

The boys didn't care about this. Their brains were all used to imagining how they would be envied when they returned to the tribe, how much the patriarchs and elders would value them, and how useful the things they could bring back would be. , How many things can they do for their families and tribes... Then they can more naturally ask to come back here, what they can get in touch with in such a short period of time is only the vast knowledge of human beings that is as deep as the sea and the river. They have not yet mastered the iron-making technology, they don’t know how to use sand to burn those transparent crystals, and they also want to understand how the long train moves to move such a heavy train. The car body and so many people are pulling and running, and so on.

Learning is painful, like putting a bucket of water into a brain that is only the size of a cup, but every time they recover from the stimulation of score ranking and reward distribution, they feel more and more time after time that they used to The life of the tribe, the best fantasy they have ever had in the tribe, is so dull and fragile compared with the life of human beings here.

The gap in knowledge leads to the gap in power, and the distance in the way of life is the distance in the qualification for life.

Under the cool autumn sky, the big river was choppy, and the reeds on the opposite bank almost turned golden, and the wind blew through them, bringing a burst of white fur.

Kiel turned his head and sneezed, turned around to sign his name on the roster, and when he handed it to the orc girl standing in front, he paused, looked at her, and then looked at the roster.

"No.1?" he said, "I've heard about your grades."

The girl smiled shyly at him.

"Good job," Keel said. "You know your teacher is going to move you to the next grade?"

She showed a slightly surprised expression.

"You can come back sooner, maybe you can be useful sooner." Keel said, "Before that, don't rush to be with some kid."

She didn't quite understand what he meant, but after taking the booklet, she still bowed to him, and then went back to the other teenagers of her clan, and it was obvious that she was not their center.Keir didn't pay more attention, and another group of tribal teenagers came in front of him.

The orcs from the tribe left this place that brought them countless unprecedented feelings one by one. After crossing the river, many people stopped involuntarily and looked back at the Crystal Palace, which was shining brightly in the sun, and the earth behind it, the earth The face of the world has been completely changed, the Sasheer tribe has disappeared here, and in this land and in the depths of the land, the rule of humans and werewolves has been established.Most people who leave here don't realize what it means to the Horde, to the whole Orc Empire, or even to the world beyond the Orc Empire, they just leave and already miss it a little bit, just like they think of their own tribe.

The sun is still warm at this time, and soon there will be severe frost covering the earth, some people will stay in their tribe, and more people will come back here through the wind and snow, like walking towards a warm fire on a cold night heap.

After the orc students left, most of the school's facilities were vacant, and silence enveloped every corner. The teachers inspected the doors and windows layer by layer, sorted out the teaching aids, and dragged out some tables and chairs that had problems and sent them to the utility room to wait. repair.But the silence is only temporary, and soon another group of people will come back here to sort out and summarize the experience of working outside, exchange the problems they encountered, discuss the allocation of some positions, and make the next step for the upcoming winter plan Arrangements... From the saltworks to the mines, some of the people who have supplied important raw materials for the industrial operation of the settlements will soon return for repairs.

For the other part of the people who came back at the same time, they are not in a hurry to do those brain-consuming things. While doing the same or even harder work, they also need to write and put their hearts into it. This is one of the reasons why they can gain power .But after the break, they must go there in the end, for one very attractive reason.

Mingyue walked across the playground, stepped up the stairs, turned the corner on the third floor, pushed open the door of the conference room, and walked in.

"Sorcerer," she said to the young man inside, "They will arrive tomorrow."
