Queen, Please Let Me Die! - Chapter 36

Chapter 36: The Person Hiding

The Guardian actually lived right under their feet.

The place they chose was not at random, because everything they did was for the sake of their Guardian. Jst like the Skalan Empire, their Divine Dragon was also located within the country.

There was only one tunnel that led underground. It was the place where they worshiped, a tunnel that only their own people knew about. Since the sorcerer was in charge, he too knew how to get in.

‘If they’re really in there, wouldn’t there be a mole among us?’ Gentle’s expression was grave. ‘This is no small matter. This concerns the Guardian Beast.’

Benevolence was deep in thoughts. “Now is not the time to think about this. Let’s go in and take a look. If they are really inside, we can kill them and catch the traitor. This matter cannot be delayed.”

It was impossible for the Orcs to betray their Tribe. The only person they could think of was the sorcerer. He was not a member of the Orcs, and they had employed him from the Orc Kingdom. In order to find this sorcerer, they had spent a lot of money. Of course, to the Orc Kingdom, he was just a low-level sorcerer, and the Orc Tribe could only hire someone of such a status. It was better than nothing, so they requested him here.

Now that such a problem had occurred, they couldn’t help but not think about it, and not have their suspicions.

Mercy was Benevolence’s brother. Gentle was his sister. Would they betray their tribe?

Impossible!

Another possibility was that someone in the tribe had been bribed. This possibility was not high. What right did the rest of the tribe have to know about the passage of the Guardian Beast?

Even if someone had been bribed, it would be useless.

“Fine, I’ll go first. I won’t tell them where I’m going. Don’t tell them either.”

Benevolence said. It’s not difficult to search for people. It’s not that he didn’t trust Mercy, but it’s because Mercy did not have many followers. There’s even less of a need to talk about Gentle. She’s an ugly girl. No beastman would follow her, let alone marry her!”

Next, Benevolence went out. Gentle and Mercy were silent in the tent.

Mercy drank water,

Gentle pulled out her sword cleaned it. Then she continued pouring water over it and began to clean the sword again, repeating her actions over and over.

They were in low spirits. They did not wish for a traitor to appear in the tribe, but the current situation seemed unlikely.

…

Underground.

A group of beings were eating and drinking inside. They were very carefree and harmonious. In the beginning, they weren’t this way. They were beings who were either abandoned, or left to die.

What they did could not be known to others. This was a huge taboo, a taboo in all countries.

No one wants their country’s Guardian to be sabotaged, even in their own country.

“This is really a good place. We are so carefree here. We can eat wild animals and drink wine without being discovered. No one would have thought of this. Hahahahaha…”

That was really the case. They had already spent many days here quietly. They did not expect things to go so smoothly, so smoothly that they felt it was unreal.

It had to be known that before they came, they were prepared to die. They were prepared to be discovered. If they were found out, they would definitely die. Not to mention the Skalan Tribe, even their original country would not stand up for them. They would be cruel enough to kill them in front of everyone.

This was also to clear their own name.

“Who found that sorcerer? What a good puppet. He does whatever we order. He has already sent so much delicious food over. The Orcs Tribe doesn’t have so many good things to eat. The food we eat might be even better than what their commander eats, hahaha…”

They talked and laughed, and their words were the truth.

“Yes, sir. When I went to see the sorcerer yesterday, he told us that there’s no problem. We’ll wait for the Ritual to start, and we’ll cooperate.”

The leader of the group said. None of them wanted to die here.

“Do you think we’re going to be found out?” he asked. “They’re still looking for us everywhere, but we’re right under their feet. It’s super delicious. They don’t even get that kind of treatment, do they? No, if I remember correctly, they were the ones who scouted the sorcerer. They paid the sorcerer, and the sorcerer listened to our orders. It’s so ironic.”

This was their first time here. In recent years, every time they came here, the place was different. The people that the sorcerer met were also different. He also could not find a reason why the people that came every time were different, causing him to have trouble receiving these people every time.

“We only start to worship the gods every day. Should we clean up this place? If we don’t, we’ll be discovered. If we’re discovered, we’ll die very miserably. There are so many people in the tribe. How can we be a match for them?” Some people were extremely worried, but they also understood that they could only hide here. If they didn’t hide here, what else could they do? Were they going to wait for death in the wilderness?

They did not know whether the adventurers they had brought along with them were dead or alive. One of them was recuperating in the Skara tribe.

“Blade, the Engraved Beast you lured over is useless. It can’t even kill them. They are still alive and kicking in front of the sorcerer. If the Lord knows about your Demon Beast, you will be very miserable.” The man smiled smugly and gloated. Half of the Orcs here were humans and the other half were of the same race. They were balanced. It may have been intentional.

“Then what can I do? It’s not like I’m going to kill it. Who knew that the Engraved Beast would be so useless? If we had known earlier, we would have killed it ourselves. If we roasted it, we might have been able to have its energy. By then, we would have struck it rich.” He was also extremely depressed. He was the one who planned to kill the Engraved Beast, but he didn’t manage to kill it. This was actually beyond their expectations. Who would have thought that the adventurer could even survive the pursuit of the Engraved Beast?

Those were Demon Beasts. How could Demon Beasts be that easy to defeat? It was not easy for them to deal with it themselves.

“There’s no use regretting it. By the way, that piece of meat of yours is not bad. Give me two bites.” The other party kept staring at the piece of meat in the other party’s hand and said with a smile.

“It’s for you, it’s for you.” It was just a piece of meat, and he didn’t care. Just two bites, he’ll give it away.

The man lowered his head, grabbed the meat, and took two big bites. His mouth was full of oil, and he ate deliciously.

“It’s really not bad.” That person sighed. “If I didn’t know that this is a beastman tribe, I would be surprised. Where can you cook such delicious roasted meat?”

They could understand why the roasted meat was delicious. After all, most of the food in the beastmen tribes was roasted.
