Orc Predator - Chapter 23
After getting up early, hunting, and selling the prey at the market, after two days, he finally gathered enough gold coins to buy an open space on the edge of the second district. This place is close to the forest and very remote. From the eyes of others, it is very unsuitable for natural females to live in, but it is just right for Ah Liu who likes to be quiet.
A fence surrounds the lot to indicate that it is already occupied. Standing outside, Ah Liu found that all kinds of weeds that had grown on the ground had been cleared up at some point, and many wooden stakes were nailed on the ground, which seemed to have laid the prototype of the foundation, and the extra wood was neatly placed beside it. It has been less than a day and a night since he bought this place. If he did it himself, he would definitely not have such high efficiency.
Doubt flashed in the black eyes, who will help?
The answer quickly appeared behind him automatically.
“Ah Liu, how is it?” Phil ran to his side, and stuffed the fruit in his hand and said proudly, “I called you a helper!”
Ah Liu’s eyes flickered, and he looked at the silver-haired orc who was walking behind Phil with a tool in one hand and wood in the other. Sensing the gaze of the non-orc, Cedric raised his head and smiled.
“How do you know—” he asked with a slight frown, avoiding the sight of the orc.
“Adolf is the person in charge of the second district, of course I know it!” Phil interrupted Ah Liu, and said without any guilt. In fact, he was the one who asked Cedric to come over, what would he say?
“But—” Ah Liu was interrupted by Phil again before he finished speaking.
“It’s nothing to do this little favor!” The blond natural female waved her hand boldly, “We are friends!”
“…” Ah Liu, who has long been accustomed to living alone and has never had much contact with others, suddenly didn’t know how to answer, so he fell silent.
In terms of physical work, even Ah Liu couldn’t compare with the orcs. I saw Cedric busy with wood and stones alone, and the black-haired female, who was almost completely out of hand, had to help a little by the side. By night, the foundation of the house had been completed, and even the parts on the ground appeared rough outline.
“I’m starving, go back and eat.” Phil yelled, pulling Ah Liu home, “You’ve been out early and late late these days, so you must not have eaten well.” His eyes were on Cedric from time to time Spinning around with Ah Liu, looking at the interaction between the two of them building houses today, they really have a tacit understanding. It’s a waste of such a good match and not being together!
Ah Liu was silent.
Cedric followed behind the two, with a trademark gentle smile on his mouth as usual, but his eyes followed Ah Liu with an unpredictable expression. According to his thinking, he actually hoped that the non-orcs would live in his house, but he didn’t want to spoil the interest of the non-orcs. The look on the female’s face told the orc that he wanted a place of his own.
The most important thing is to satisfy the wishes of non-orcs first. As for the others, there is no rush.
The house was built after a few days. It was small in size and had two rooms. Ah Liu bought some simple furniture with the money he saved from hunting for a few days, and the new house was officially completed. Although there was no surprise expression on Ah Liu’s paralyzed face, both Phil and Cedric could see that the black-haired non-orc was actually very happy.
As for how to tell… because the frequency of his sword fighting has decreased?
“Challenge in the twenty-first round, ‘Falcon’ won!”
The host shouted, and the excited shouts and applause echoed over the challenge area for a long time. The non-orc who was kneeling on the sand gasped, wiped the blood on his face, and stood up with some difficulty while holding the machete. He turned expressionlessly and walked towards the iron gate, followed by a male orc with a numb expression. From the initial nervousness to the present, Maya was not surprised to see him coming again, but he still habitually sent a male orc soldier to follow him in case of accidents.
Falcon is his new nickname, which, according to the fanatical presenter, should come from his “swift speed and eagle-like slender figure” when he fights.
Compared with these insignificant things, he is only interested in the monetary rewards at the end of each battle.
Passing by the gate of the arena, Maya was doing her own thing with her head bowed.
“Sorry for disturbing.” Ah Liu’s heart moved, he rarely stopped at the door, and said lightly, Maya suddenly raised his head to look at him in surprise.
“Excuse me, what’s in the innermost compartment?” Ah Liu asked. With the improvement of magic power, he felt more and more attractive the first time he came. The thing that seems to be at the end has also become a little irritable recently. Sometimes he can even faintly hear the roar coming from the darkness, full of bloodthirsty and desire to break out of the cage.
A flash of astonishment flashed across Maya’s face, and then he became serious: “Listen, don’t approach the depths of the corridor no matter what.”
Ah Liu’s face was gloomy for a moment, and Maya felt dizzy for a while, and quickly explained, “No, it’s not because you are a female. I don’t discriminate against sex. Even the best male orcs are forbidden to approach there. They are locked up there. A living forest overlord, the top predator, is for research.”
The overlord of the forest… Ah Liu’s face returned to normal, he nodded slightly to Maya, turned around and left under the latter’s frightened gaze.
Although the words to be said have been finished, Maya is still very worried about this disobedient natural female running around!
Leaving the challenge area and walking home a little tired, before approaching, I saw Phil and the silver-haired orc standing at the door. Ah Liu cheered up, walked towards Phil, and said, “Why are you here?”
“He has something to stay in the second district for a while.” Phil pointed to the silver-haired orc behind him and said, Cedric smiled formulaically, but there was a gentleness in his eyes that he didn’t notice, “Can I borrow here?” ?”
Ah Liu frowned. Although the Augustine Continent has not yet developed to the point where hotels appear, but…
“Alkert’s mansion is more spacious.” Ah Liu said, after all, the house was built with the help of others, so you can’t be too rude.
“It may not be convenient there.” Cedric took over the conversation, “And it’s closer to the forest, suitable for hunting.”
“Well, I recently… and Adolf…” Phil said with a shy expression in cooperation, “We want to have a child.”
“…I didn’t reserve a seat for guests.” Ah Liu frowned even more tightly.
“Don’t worry, orcs are rough and thick, just give them a place to stay.” Phil said very casually, while Cedric had an expression of “I promise it’s business and I will never disturb you”, as if I can swear to God anytime.
Speaking of this, coupled with Phil’s expectant expression, Ah Liu, who did not want to have anything to do with any orcs from the bottom of his heart, pursed his lips, but opened the door.
“Please come in.” The cold tone showed the master’s dissatisfaction.
Behind him, Phil and Cedric exchange a triumphant look.
