After walking for two days in a row, Ron followed the wave mercenary team out of the Plain of Despair in a safe atmosphere.
The sky gradually darkened, and twilight enveloped the earth.
"Okay, let's go here today, let's take a good rest, and continue on our way tomorrow..."
When he came to a forest, Dinwiddie seemed to be in a good mood. The distance was shortened by more than half of the original plan, and he crossed the plain of despair without any danger. A nice bragging rights.
"Yes!"
Everyone in the mercenary team chimed in, and found a place to leeward, and set up their camps.
"Brother Ron..." Dinwiddie greeted enthusiastically, and he patted Ron on the shoulder, "Thank you, if you didn't use the feces of the ninth-order monster Tyrannosaurus rex, we really wouldn't be able to get out of despair so easily plain..."
"It should be safe to walk here, and you can return to the Orc Empire in a little more than a day..."
"Hehe! That's because the omnipotent God is blessing you..." Ron smiled, and he gave a rare flattery.
Dinwiddie smiled mysteriously, "Sorry, we believe in beast gods!"
After speaking and walking away with a smile, Ron shrugged and made a helpless expression.
Tents are a must-have for mercenaries in the field. Naturally, Ron also has this thing, and he quickly set up the tent.
Like a precise machine, everyone in the wave mercenary team has their own division of labor, such as making fire, boiling water, and chopping firewood. Ron also helps. The grilled meat has a charming aroma and makes a "sizzling-" sound.
Everyone in the wave mercenary team gathered together, and Ron was also sitting in it. His eyes swept over the faces of these people one by one. He got to know everyone after getting along with each other in the past few days.
Since they were about the same age, Ron talked and laughed with everyone, but in the laughter of these people, Ron still faintly felt a hint of contempt.
This world is a world respected by strength!
Since the next journey was no longer dangerous, the wave mercenary team took out the wine from the space bag, and ate and drank for a round. After pushing and changing glasses, everyone was blushing and talking casually.
"Captain, why is your mercenary team named Sea Wave?" Ron asked, slightly drunk, but he still tried his best to stay sober.
"Hehe, that's because I grew up by the sea!" Dinwiddie said drunkenly after drinking until his tongue grew big.
"Brother, I told you not to drink so much, you still have to drink..." Staphine gave Ron a hard look, as if she wanted to blame Dinwiddie for being drunk of.
Ron smiled bitterly, his face innocent.
Seeing Stephanie making things difficult for Ron, Dinwiddie smiled wryly, and persuaded Ron, "Brother Ron, forget it... She just broke up with an orc boyfriend a few months ago, and she was in a bad mood. To whom? She speaks aggressively, so don't bother with her..."
"Ah—orc boyfriend?"
Ron was a little startled. He looked up and down Stephanie, and saw that she had a pretty face and a hot figure. She was also considered a beauty. How could she have found a boyfriend of an orc
The image of an ugly orc appeared in his mind, and when he connected with the beautiful woman in front of him, Stephanie, his heart shuddered. If he fell in love with an ugly female orc, he would not do it to death.
When the audience talked about her orc boyfriend, Stephanie was a little angry and sad at the same time, and said fiercely, "Huh! Pana, that bastard, he... he actually abandoned me and went to find another human woman! He will regret it..."
When she said this, there were tears in her eyes.
Everyone in the wave mercenary team sighed in unison, looking at her with sympathy and regret in their eyes, for a while, no one spoke.
After being silent for a while, Stephanie suddenly became firm, "No... I don't want to break up with Pana, I want to go back and beg him. He is soft-hearted and will definitely accept me again..."
At this time, Stephanie's eyes shone with confidence, "That coquettish fox is not as good as me in appearance and body, and she is also a human being. Why should she compete with me? It is Panatu who is fresh, use her for fun Just play, I believe that Pana still loves me in the end... "
"Forget it!" Dinwiddie said with a wry smile, "I don't think you should go back to him, have you forgotten how he humiliated you when you went to him last time?"
"I'm not reconciled... I'm not reconciled..." Stephanie stood up in a gaffe, and shouted loudly, "I have been in love with Pana for two years, I believe he loves me in his heart, he is just fascinated by the vixen Yes, yes, it must be so!"
At this moment, Stephanie waved her hands like an abandoned widow, looking hysterical.
Ron's heart was full of shock. A human woman is so obsessed with an ugly orc man. Is this really love? Ron couldn't understand.
After a few days of getting along, Ron could feel that this woman named Stephanie was still admired by many people in the mercenary team. Several young mercenaries tried their best to please her, but she dismissed it. .
Seeing Stephanie who lost her composure, Ron's eyes were full of sympathy, and the only bit of grievance in his heart disappeared. He smiled and persuaded, "Miss Stephanie, in fact, among human beings, the most outstanding and handsome There are many boys, why do you need to find an ugly orc man?"
Ron's words were meant to persuade her to open up a bit, but when Staphine heard this, she jumped up excitedly, pointed at Ron's nose and cursed loudly, "Go to hell!"
Ron was stunned, he had no idea that Stephanie's reaction would be so big.
Stephanie still scolded unrelentingly, "What are you? You don't take a piss to take care of yourself. You are a bone slave, just a bone slave. What qualifications do you have to comment on those noble orcs? You say Pana is ugly? He is strong, strong, do you understand? He is the best orc warrior, you lowly humans will never be able to compare with him... "
After pointing at Ron and cursing wildly, Stephanie stomped heavily, ignored everyone, turned and left.
Everyone looked at each other, some looked at Ron, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
As a member of the orc empire, although they are also human mercenaries, after seeing Ron insulting the orcs, they looked at him a little bit unkindly. Seeing this, Dinwiddie quickly smoothed things over and said.
"Everyone is tired today, go back and rest after eating and drinking enough..."
As he said that, he drove everyone back, leaving only Dinwiddie and Ron on the scene.
Ron was stunned by the scolding, and he didn't recover for a while. He scratched his head and said to Dinwiddie, "I seem to have said something wrong..."
He still has some affection for Dinwiddie, he is enthusiastic and righteous.
"Indeed!" Dinwiddie nodded, and he sighed, "Forget it, you are a human from the human kingdom, and you don't know anything about it, so I can't blame you..."
As he spoke, he glanced carefully at Stephanie's tent, and Stephanie had already fallen asleep, and he said, "My sister has always wanted to marry a heroic orc man since she was a child. When she was 18 years old, she spent countless thoughts and efforts before finally realizing her wish... An orc man named Pana fell in love with her... "
Ron said in amazement, "Then why..."
"At the beginning, Staphine was happy, Ron, you must know that in the Orc Empire, not every human woman is so lucky to be spotted by an orc man, so she takes that with her wherever she goes." Under the envious eyes of her group of sisters, the orc man stole the limelight... "
Dinwiddie continued, "It seems that everything is going well. That Pana even met my father. My father was very satisfied when he saw that the other party was an orc. The date of marriage is almost fixed. This is in my family, but Unbelievable event... "
"But my attitude at the time was against it. Maybe it was a man's intuition. I felt that Pana didn't really love my sister, it was just for fun..."
"Sure enough, apart from my sister, that Pana also had relationships with several human women. I also told my sister about this. She was still very stubborn and even told me that as long as I was with Pana, no matter what I did. His first wife is also willing to... "
Sighing slightly, Dinwiddie said sadly, "It's a pity that my sister's sincerity can't be exchanged for Pana's kindness. My sister just did a small thing wrong that day, and Pana was furious and kicked her. Kicked out, no matter how my sister begged, he ignored it... "
"Later, my younger sister looked for him several times, but Pana avoided seeing him. The last time I finally saw him, but he was humiliated..." Dinwiddie's voice trembled, and he clenched his fists angrily.
Dinwiddie breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down his mood, spread his hands together, and made a helpless expression, "My sister still wants to go to him again, but I think this matter is probably going to be dirty, so I Want to stop, but she won't listen!"
Hearing this, Ron finally understood why Stephanie was so angry, but he still didn't understand, "Then why didn't she go find a human man? I think a few boys are pretty good..."
Dinwiddie smiled, "Maybe you don't know that in the orc empire, no matter how hard you try, humans will always be second-class citizens. Only by combining with orcs can you become a first-class citizen. This is not only determined by strength, but also by race. ... What is that Pana, if he is not powerful, his family is poor and he is addicted to gambling, how could he be worthy of my sister? If he is not an orc... "
Dinwiddie shook his head, unable to continue, picked up the wine and took a sip.
"My sister's biggest wish is to marry Pana and have a child for him. The chance of giving birth to an orc child is 50%. In this way, her next generation will be an orc, a first-class citizen..."
Hearing this, Ron understood, but at this moment, he was in a heavy heart and couldn't speak for a while.
Dinwiddie smiled slightly, "But Ron, you were wrong about one thing just now. Judging from human standards, orc men are indeed ugly, but all orc women are beautiful. That is A healthy and strong beauty, but I don't think you can appreciate it..."
Ron smiled slightly, "I think Brother Dinwiddie must have an orc girl he likes..."
"Yes, there is one!" Dinwiddie said with a helpless smile.
"Orcs pay more attention to bloodlines. Among orcs, there are very few examples of orc men marrying human women, and even fewer beautiful orc women marry human men..."
Dinwiddie raised his head, looked at the bright moon in the sky and said quietly.
"She is like the moon in the sky. Although she has some affection for me, to be honest, I don't have any hope..."
