The Lord of Ashes

Thain is not a sad saint.

The average lifespan of ratmen in the orc world is relatively low, only about ten or twenty years.

In a large plane, it is quite incredible that the average life span of native biological groups is so low.

Of the dozens of ratmen who appeared in front of Thain, Thain judged that their age was about seven years, and they should not have lived up to the average lifespan of the ratmen in their own plane.

With their current physical condition, it would be a miracle for them to survive for another two years.

"According to my research and observation, the theoretical lifespan of the rat people in the orc world should be around forty years old. Some long-lived species may live to be sixty or seventy years old." Lina shook her head and said.

Lina, who had seen many tragic scenes in the Black Territory, was not too moved by some of the scenes in the small orc kingdom in front of her.

Her tone was full of reason and calm.

"There is actually a big gap between theoretical lifespan, average lifespan and actual lifespan."

"Let's record it. Many situations in this world are still of great research value." Thain said.

When Thain walked through this barren field, many ratmen looked at them from a distance with awe and fear.

Thain originally thought that when he came to this barren land, there would be many weak creatures like beggars, swarming up to beg for things.

In fact, this did not happen.

The cruel laws of the orc world make it impossible for the weak races in this world to disobey and offend the majesty of their superiors.

From the fact that the orc world has "slavery" and openly recognizes the legality of slaves, it can be seen that this large plane is different from many alliance planes that Thane has visited.

In the world of orcs, there are only cases where superiors give charity to lower-ranking orcs, and there will never be instances of lower-ranking orcs committing crimes against others.

Although the appearance of Thane and others is different from that of the major orc races in the orc world.

But just looking at the more "gorgeous" clothes of Thane and others is enough for most of the middle and lower-level orcs to realize that this is definitely not a noble being that they can offend.

Most of the rat men who appeared in front of Thane were not wearing any clothes, with only a black leather belt covering their shameful parts.

Including the agricultural tools they use, they are also made of rough wood.

One can imagine how much food can be grown under such conditions.

Thane and Lena are not creatures of the orc world, so their sympathy for the bottom creatures of this world is limited.

They come into contact with and understand the world more from a rational and outsider perspective.

But the companions are different from the little fox girl Ai Jieli who is beside Sean and others.

Although she is a girl from the fox tribe, she is also a member of the orcs.

The scene of disaster in front of her made this sentimental little fox girl's heart ache.

Ajieli wants to do something for the orc world, but her power alone is really limited.

Not to mention her, even those beast gods of level four or above may not be able to change the barren status quo of the orc world.

What those beast gods can do is just to make their own people live a better life and make the orc country under their rule richer and less hungry and diseased than other places.

The salvation and change of an entire world cannot be accomplished by one person.

In fact, the wizarding civilization is also very interesting to the orc world.

Every hundred years, the wizarding civilization will provide certain magic currency support to the orc world through the alliance.

But that little magic coin is just a drop in the bucket. If the orc world wants to develop as prosperously and richly as the elves, it must first strengthen itself.

Just relying on charity from others is not enough.

The little fox girl Ejieli, who came back from Faerûn with Thane, has also undergone earth-shaking changes in these years.

As early as in the purgatory space of Faerun, the little fox girl had been promoted to the second level.

That promotion happened not long after the goddess of luck gave her her blessing.

I don’t know if it’s the result of luck.

Not only has her own level advanced, the little fox girl's war song has also progressed rapidly in recent years.

Speaking of which, due to the lack of interaction between mentors and other shamans, the little fox girl's war song advancement almost depends on her own natural evolution. The few orc world priest code books that Sean bought for her also played a real role. limited.

However, maybe the little fox girl herself really has extraordinary talent in this area, and her war singing skills have attracted praise from Thane more than once.

The war song aura used by shamans in the orc world is a special way of using elemental power that is different from magic.

The war song focuses on the auxiliary function, rather than directly pursuing the lethality like magic.

With the little fox girl's current level of war singing, she can easily grant various increases to two thousand orc warriors.

The combat effectiveness of the orc army with the blessing of the war song aura and the orc army without the blessing of the war song aura are completely different.

Moreover, the success rate of priests in the orc world is lower than that of magicians in the wizarding world.

Among the ten thousand adult orcs, a hundred qualified warriors may emerge, but not even one shaman may emerge.

Most of the orcs are simple-minded and well-developed limbs. The exquisite use of elemental power is really not something that these stupid big guys can figure out.

They are also first-level creatures, and the status of priests is much higher than that of ordinary orcs.

In the wizarding world, the status of magicians and knights among the same level tends to be equal. At most, everyone agrees that magicians are more noble.

But in the world of orcs, priests are definitely more noble than warriors, and the difference in status can even span one or even two levels.

At this time, the little fox girl standing on the edge of the wilderness couldn't help singing a loud war song.

This is a "song of clarity" that can make the chaotic-minded orc warriors calmer on the battlefield and offset some of the negative effects of madness.

The loud singing and the lingua franca of the orc world made tears flow from the corners of the little fox girl's eyes, and also made the rat people in the surrounding wilderness burst into tears of gratitude.

These are war songs and shamans. These ordinary ratmen at the bottom of the orc world may never see a noble shaman in their entire lives.

The light blue war song halo enveloped all the rat people who had gathered around and were lying on the ground.

More and more orcs, after noticing the strange phenomena here, began to come as pilgrims.

Considering the relatively small size of the Cameroon Orc Kingdom, it is estimated that there are no more than a hundred shamans in this Orc Kingdom, and this includes Wind Whispering Priests below the first level.

The little fox girl's second life energy level has reached the level of a war priest.

Perhaps this small orc kingdom located in the southern part of the Danube Wasteland does not even have a war priest.

In addition to the appearance of the war song halo, which caused many orcs to crawl around like a pilgrim.

With Thain's nod of agreement, the little fox girl also distributed some copper coins to the surrounding orcs.

These humble copper coins may be able to change the current situation of an orc family.

In fact, Thain still had a large amount of exchanged gold coins with him, but Thain knew very well that he could only ask the little fox girl to give copper coins to these weak orcs.

Giving them gold coins will actually harm them.

Moreover, the kindness of the little fox girl can shine on these few orcs in front of them, but how can they control the billions of more orcs in the orc world?

"Her singing voice is very beautiful. I can feel that the will of this world resonated a little bit with her singing voice just now." Bixi suddenly said to Thain. There will be an update tonight
