The Lord of Ashes

As a demigod-level magician, Thain's treatment must be better than that of ordinary first- and second-level wizarding world creatures.

In particular, Thain also brought a tourmaline with him on this trip.

Others may not be able to tell that the tourmaline is very delicate when it is in a resting state.

But the real owner of this unclaimed land, the half-orc Eugene, was busy when he suddenly noticed that such a distinguished guest had arrived. 🄳

So Eugene hurriedly came to invite Thain and others, and he came in person.

The half-orc Eugene, as described in the rumors, is a green-skinned orc.

The mottled bloodline makes it impossible to tell what the origin of Eugene's bloodline is.

In fact, there are many divisions among half-orcs, such as half-werewolf, half-fox, half-cat, etc.

But because Eugene's bloodline is so mottled, it is impossible to refine it.

Eugene is a half-orc about two meters tall. Although this height is not as high as that of the powerful orc race, it is still pretty good.

A hard life and a young age have made Eugene's face and skin very loose, including his back, which is also hunched.

He was leaning on a cane and looked more like an octogenarian old man.

There is no hint that the other party is going to become a god.

Moreover, some information in the rumors is indeed wrong.

Eugene is not a demigod, he is now a genuine fourth-level creature!

However, Eugene did not ignite the divine fire and condense the divine personality, so it is not too bad to say that it is now a "demigod".

If it wants to become a true "god of half-orcs", it still has a crucial step to overcome.

The appearance of two distinguished guests, Thain and Tourmaline, moved Eugene extremely.

Fortunately, Thain is just a demigod-level magician, and his reputation in the wizarding world is not very good.

Mainly tourmaline.

Eugene did not recognize Tour Xi's identity, but that did not prevent him from showing great respect for Tour Xi.

Both are fourth-level creatures. The attitude of the half-orc old man Eugene is simply two extremes from the Bone Tower Master whom Thain met in the Black Realm before.

One is humble to the extreme, and the other is arrogant to the extreme.

At Eugene's strong invitation, Thain and his team came to its tent.

Yes, tent.

As a fourth-level creature with a distinguished status, Eugene has gradually become the object of worship for hundreds of millions of orcs in the entire orc world, but his daily life is extremely simple.

There is no palace, no maids and servants, and no commendable environment for enjoyment.

The place where this fourth-level half-orc lived until now was just an animal skin tent.

In terms of the level of luxury in life, when Thain first came to the orc world, the second-level bearman king Vieri he met was much more luxurious than the fourth-level half-orc in front of him.

"I am used to poverty. When I was a child, one of my biggest dreams was to drink a bowl of camel milk tea every day. Now I have realized this dream."

"The conditions here are really too difficult and not suitable for entertaining distinguished guests." The half-orc Eugene grinned his jagged yellow teeth and said to Thain and others with some embarrassment.

Several sea bowls, obviously specially used for the orcs, were placed on the wooden table.

Eugene poured the camel milk from the wooden pot himself and crushed a small piece of tea brick with his rough fingers.

Eugene is not specifically putting on a show in front of outsiders. As a fourth-level creature, his life has always been like this.

Thain read Eugene's simplicity from his words.

"It doesn't matter. As truth seekers, we magicians are not a group that only pursues enjoyment." Thain said casually.

The camel milk tea made by Eugene is delicious and has a special aromatic milk flavor.

Bi Xi drank sips and smiled happily, her eyes narrowed into a pair of cute crescent moons.

"Distinguished guests, I don't know why you are here..." Eugene asked proactively, his tone of voice was full of the frankness unique to the orcs, and he rarely minced words.

Although his stature is stooped and his skin is wrinkled, this fourth-level half-orc has bright eyes.

"I came to the orc world to travel. I heard that you half-orcs have begun to establish your own country, and will also try to launch a plane war, so I came to take a look." Thain replied.

As a demigod-level magician in the wizarding world, Thain's status is close to that of Eugene, a fourth-level half-orc in the orc world.

This is the advantage of the suzerain civilization. Not only in the world of orcs, but also in the wizarding world, any demigod-level knight or magician who arrives in the alliance's alien plane will inevitably be treated equally by the fourth-level gods of the alliance's alien world.

Even because orcs have a lower status in the orc world, Eugene behaves more humblely and politely.

"Really? I happen to have some special plants and trained beasts here cultivated by our half-orc clan. I hope I can help you, Master Thain."

"If you, Master Thain, can help our tribe in the next plane war, it will be an even greater honor for us. We orcs will always remember your help to us." Eugene said solemnly.

As expected, he has traveled through many planes in the Wizarding Alliance, and is even a fourth-level creature that is rumored to have visited the Wizarding World.

Eugene's words perfectly captured what a magician cares about most.

Although the half-orcs are poor, they still have a lot of good things due to their large ethnic base and the presence of strong half-orcs like Eugene.

Thain has no interest in those overly precious crystal nuclei and rare materials. On the contrary, if the orcs come up with any rare specimens, or even gadgets of low value, Thain might be very satisfied.

After communicating with Thain for a while, the fourth-level orc took the initiative to send Thain to the entrance of the animal skin tent.

During this period, it was obvious that Eugene wanted to communicate with Bixi.

But Bixi didn't seem to be interested in this old orc. After drinking several large bowls of camel milk tea, Bixi leaned on the wooden chair and took a nap.

Before leaving, the half-orc Eugene stared at the little fox girl Ajieli next to Thane for a moment.

It finally nodded and told Thain that if anything happened, you could come to it at any time.

…

"This old orc gives me a strange feeling, but I can't tell what is different about it."

"In short, it is different from most of the creatures above level four that I have seen." Lina said to Thane after returning to the oasis.

"This is an orc with ideals. From him, I see some shining points about the rise of civilization and race."

"When I was in Faerûn, the few kids I taught were very similar to it in some areas."

"They are all existences that are difficult for outsiders to understand, but they keep moving forward for a belief." Thain said thoughtfully.

Bixi, who had been napping and held in Lina's arms, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "That old man has received a lot of attention from the will of the plane, much more than Ajieli."

"But not as much as me, hehe." Bixi pointed at herself and said.
