Chapter 408

"Change?" Lena tilted her head after hearing this.

She felt a swelling sensation in her chest and her face turned red.

"Brother, you are a pervert!" With that said, she punched Orson.

Then, Orson was knocked several meters away.

At this moment, Lena panicked.

"Brother! Are you okay?" With that said, she rushed directly in the direction of Orson.

"I...I'm fine." Orson said, reluctantly standing up.

It was just a few broken ribs, nothing serious.

However, just as Orson thought, Lena's physical fitness has reached an extremely strong level.

Pure physical fitness, without any skills, can already defeat the seventh-level peak Orson like this. If practiced, I am afraid that Lena's physical strength will have a place among the top in the mainland in the future.

I'm afraid this is because part of the effect of the Heart of Beasts is shared with Lena to heal her body. Otherwise, Lena would only be stronger.

Thinking about it this way, if the Heart of Beasts is obtained by that orc shaman, I am afraid that he will indeed become the top powerhouse on the continent.

By then, the relationship between humans and orcs may be reversed.

"Well, big brother, I didn't mean it, I...I don't know why..."

"It's okay, isn't that a good thing?" Orson smiled. "At least, Lena, you don't have to worry about being bullied by bad people in the future."

"Maybe it will be bigger in the future.

My brother still wants you to protect him. "

Saying this, Orson stood up.

"Lena, look, the wind and sand outside have dissipated." With that said, Orson pointed to the outside of the temple.

Before, when Orson and Lena came in, the wind and sand here had never stopped.

"Hey, it seems so." Lena heard this and looked at Orson. "Brother, what's going on? Doesn't it mean that the sand on the outside surrounds the temple all year round?"

"This is all thanks to Lena." Orson said, summoning his own magic flying carpet.

Without the obstruction of wind and sand, the magic flying carpet can operate normally.

"Thanks to me?"

"Yeah." Orson said, sitting on the flying carpet, patting the blanket at the same time, motioning for Lena to sit on it.

Once again, Lena sat on the flying carpet and hugged Orson's waist.

Although there was indeed no problem when she stepped on the magic flying carpet before, Lena was still afraid of falling.

Fear of heights seems to be the nature of animals except birds. Anyone who has never been able to fly or have been to high places will feel scared when they suddenly come to a place hundreds of meters above the ground.

Of course, after flying for a long time like Orson, this feeling will gradually dissipate.

"By the way, speaking of it, Lena, I lied to you." While flying in the sky, Orson suddenly said to Lena behind him.

"Hey? Brother, what did you lie to me about?"

"My real name is not Edward. My name is Orson. I am not an ordinary traveler. I have great power among humans."

Saying this, Orson smiled.

"Eh!? Big brother, you are actually lying!" Lena stretched out her fist and hit Orson on the shoulder. Orson was so beaten that he even stopped operating the magic carpet.

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Feeling the weightlessness caused by falling, Lena couldn't help but scream.

The two of them fell straight to the ground, and it wasn't until they were still more than ten meters above the ground that Orson was able to control the takeoff mat again and raise the altitude.

"Huh, luckily I got it under control in time." Orson said, patting his chest.

"That...yes, I'm sorry, big brother, I didn't mean it."

"I know you didn't mean it." Orson sighed. It seems that Lena will have to be specially trained in the future to let her learn to control her power, otherwise it will be bad if she hurts others randomly.

Then, Orson said: "Anyway, Lena, I can send you back to your tribe now, or I can take you to see humans. How do you choose?"

"Well, can I... go back and see everyone in the tribe first, and then go to the human side with you, big brother?"

"Okay." Orson nodded.

"By the way, Lena, I've already figured out how to compensate you for the fact that I lied to you."

"Huh? Big brother, have you already thought about it?"

"Well, I'm going to make the orcs never have to live hungry again. Is this the best compensation?"

"Well, but isn't it difficult to do this?"

"Lena, don't underestimate me. Didn't I say that I am powerful among humans? It will be very easy for me to help you settle your family business."

"Then...brother, please don't regret it because it's too difficult."

"Don't worry, I, Orson, never lie."

The two people flew in the sky talking and laughing, and then returned to the tribe.

The people in the tribe have now moved to a new place. The soil fertility and groundwater here are barely enough for them to live for another five or six years. As long as nothing serious happens in these five or six years and they don't offend other orcs, everyone in the tribe can rely on the above. With this surplus of food, we can live a more comfortable life.

"Mr. Edward, are you back?" At the entrance of the tribe, the crowd looked at Orson and Lena coming down from the sky, and everyone looked surprised.

Orson had never demonstrated the magic flying carpet technology in front of the tribe before. Now when the children in the tribe saw Orson, stars popped out of their eyes, and they all pestered Orson to take them with him. Fly up to the sky and have some fun.

Orson, who was in a good mood, rarely agreed to their request and flew the children into the sky. He also pretended to make mistakes from time to time, making the children surprised and laughing.

Lena returned to Arati.

"Lena, you went out with Mr. Edward this time and saw a lot of new things, right?"

"Yes!" Lena nodded excitedly and told Arati what she had experienced during her journey.

, and everything between him and Orson, especially the last experience in the maze under the temple, which made Arati frightened. If he hadn't seen that Lena was really fine, Arati would have been so regretful that his intestines would be blue. .

"Also, Grandpa Alati! Big brother, he is lying. In fact, his name is not Edward, but Orson. He is a relatively famous person among humans!"

"Osen?" Arati was stunned for a moment when he heard the name, and then broke into a cold sweat.

It is said that dancing with wolves, Arati only experienced what it is like to dance with wolves today.

This time the orcs attacked back a little too quickly, and Alati inquired about the news from the surrounding orc tribes. It turned out to be the human commander Orson, who used unpredictable strategies to resolve all the orc attacks one after another.

Among the orcs, hearing Orson's name can even make a child afraid to cry in the middle of the night.

What Arati didn't expect was that Orson, who was demonized by the orcs and turned into a god of death, would actually be so polite and polite during their interactions with him.

Although she had already guessed that Orson's identity might be unusual, when Lena actually told Alati about Orson's true identity, Alati still couldn't help but feel scared.

Fortunately, his tribe didn't offend Orson, otherwise he would probably end up like the tribe that was burned down.

Ever since, when Orson came back to see Arati, Arati behaved respectfully.

"Mr. Orson, I have admired you for a long time." Arati said with a hint of respect in his tone.

When Orson saw Arati's behavior, he knew that it was Lena who had secretly told Arati about her affairs.

He glanced helplessly at Lena, who covered her mouth and winked secretly at Orson.

"Well, Chief Arati, you don't have to behave like this." Orson said, looking at Arati. "You have helped me and you are considered my benefactor..."

"I was too blind to recognize Taishan before, and I neglected you, Mr. Orson. I'm very sorry."

"Oh, I told you, there's no need for this." Orson sighed, and then said: "Forget it, Chief Arati, I'm here to tell you something this time."

"Ah, Mr. Osun, please speak."

"About a while, the human army will come to the desert in batches. I will give them orders at that time so that they will not attack the orc tribe. At the same time, they will also share some of the military rations they carry with you."

"As long as you allocate people to serve as guides for the human army, that's it."

As Orson finished speaking, Arati showed an expression of disbelief.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Orson, there is no precedent for humans entering the desert, but..."

At this moment, Arati suddenly reacted.

As the commander of the human side, Orson cannot be an orc.

So, Orson, as a human, took Lena deep into the desert?

Seeing Arati's expression, Of course Orson knew what he was thinking, so he smiled, and then said: "Well, actually there is a reason why I can enter the desert, but this is not the reason why the human army entered the desert."

With that said, Orson simply attributed the disappearance of the wind and sand to the disappearance of the Heart of Beasts in the underground labyrinth of the temple.

"In other words, Limusa, the King of Beasts, can no longer protect us?" Arati said, with a hint of sadness in his expression.

"No, Limusa is still protecting the orcs." With that said, Orson told Arati about his idea.

"This time the orcs attacked the eastern part of the Duchy of Antica and caused a lot of losses. If the orcs don't mind it, they can settle in the eastern part of the duchy. There is abundant water and grass there, and the land is suitable for growing crops. There is no need to do what you are doing now. , I’ll change the place in a few years, there won’t be much growing in the ground.”

"Moreover, the orcs have complete autonomy there. They don't have to pay taxes to the dukedom, and they don't have to look at the faces of humans. They can live for themselves."

"Although the empire may not agree to divide the land for you to establish a country in the short term, you are equivalent to having a country of your own."

"My own... country?" Arati repeated it in disbelief after hearing what Orson said.

"Mr. Orson, we have never thought of this before..."

"Then you can think so now." Orson said and smiled.

"This is definitely not a pie in the sky. If you want, I can ask the border soldiers to let you go on the day I return to the Duchy, and let you settle in the eastern part of the Duchy on your own."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Orson." Arati said, sincerely expressing his feelings to Orson.

of gratitude.

"Don't thank me, just thank Lena. If it weren't for Lena, I probably wouldn't do this."

"Eh?" Lena, who was listening to the two people's conversation, saw that the topic suddenly shifted to herself, and pointed at herself in confusion. "Me? I didn't do anything?"

"No, Lena, you did a lot." Orson said this and smiled.

"Hmm..." Seeing Orson turned into a riddle man again, Lena couldn't help pouting.

After staying in the tribe for a day, the two continued to fly towards the border.

After returning to the human territory, Orson immediately took Lena to the human frontier headquarters in Phoenix City and found General Carlisle, who was responsible for guarding the border.

On the way, although some soldiers saw Lena following Orson and felt a little strange about the latter's appearance, after all, she was with Orson, and the soldiers couldn't stop her. They could only think that Master Orson suddenly wanted to find a half-orc as a follower.

There was no war on the front line these days, and Carlisle was sitting in a chair drinking tea boredly.

To be honest, he didn't quite understand why Orson asked him not to disband the army, but to continue to wait at the border.

In his opinion, after the orcs were repelled this time, the probability of them coming back again was almost one in a thousand. Instead of keeping the soldiers on the front line and paying them military salaries and rations, it would be better to disband them early. After all, the Dukedom of Antica was not very rich. After repelling the orcs, the assistance from other duchies and the royal direct territories was also cut off. Now the army was all supported by the already tight duke's finances.

Until Orson pushed the door open and walked into the room.

"Mr. Orson?! Are you back?" Carlisle said this and stood up hurriedly. Then, he saw a fox-eared girl following Orson.

"Half-orc!?"

Hearing Carlisle's scream, Lena shrank behind Orson in fear.

"Ah, General Carlisle, don't be afraid. This is a friend I met in the desert. Her name is Lena."

"Ah, it's Mr. Orson's friend, right?" Carlisle heard this and nodded. "Sorry, Miss Lena, I just overreacted."

"No... It's okay." Lena also stuck her head out and greeted Carlisle.

"Um, Mr. Orson, you are here this time..."

"The time has come, General Carlisle, now order the soldiers to march into the desert."

"Huh?" Carlisle heard this and looked at Orson in surprise.

"No, Mr. Orson, did I hear it right? March into the desert? Don't you know how harmful the wind and sand in the desert are to the human body?"

"I know, but now the wind and sand problem in the desert has been solved." Orson said this and looked at Lena. "Thanks to my friend, we can now completely end the feud between humans and orcs."

"But this..." Carlisle heard this and still couldn't believe it.
