Shura of the Beastman

4. The small town under the mountain

Kars will take Ivan down the mountain, of course not to move and restore a group life, he just thinks it's time for Ivan to get in touch with the world down the mountain, and raise the child to be uncommon and easy to be deceived in the future!

In fact, he would go down the mountain every month to buy food and daily necessities. Before not taking Ivan with him, except that the child was still young, he was also afraid that Ivan would like to go up and down the mountain and would no longer want to live on the mountain. Now he finds that as long as the child desires to Yes, he will give it, even if he breaks the vow he has made for many years.

Ivan's big black eyes looked curiously at the small town called Misty at the foot of the mountain. He said that the small town occupies a lot of land and is prosperous enough. The buildings here are very similar to those in medieval Europe. The independent two-story or three-story red brick cottage also has a garden, a flat road paved with stone slabs, and orcs and non-orcs passing by around. Some children who are about his age also gather in twos and threes to play and laugh. , Just by looking at it, you can feel that the people here are living a very happy and stable life.

But the orcs here are really tall, at least two meters away by visual inspection. Fortunately, the non-orcs are not the sissy shemale type. All he sees are gentle and delicate, and some are very beautiful, but they don’t make him think they are women. Fortunately fortunately.

"Abba, why is there a tree like that in front of every house?"

"It's a milk fruit tree. The fruit on it is for orcs and non-orcs to eat when they were young. Ivan also ate it when he was very young. Planting a tree in front of each house means that there is hope for thriving offspring, and it is also for the future Prepare for the birth of your own child."

"Father, how do I go shopping?"

"With gold coins, silver coins or copper coins, one gold coin can be exchanged for [-] silver coins or [-] copper coins." Kars took out three coins and put them in Ivan's hand to explain to him.

Ivan nodded. It seems that the standard of living in this world is not low, and the general equivalents have come out, so there is no need to barter.

Next, he played a good role as a child who is curious about everything, asking everything, so that he can have a better understanding of the world.

Kars was very happy. Even though many of the questions Ivan asked were naive, when the child looked at him with shiny black eyes full of curiosity, he felt a burst of satisfaction. The self-satisfaction derived from admiration and dependence, at this time he truly felt that Ivan was a child, a child who needed him.

Ivan had a lot of fun asking questions, and Kars was also very happy answering questions, until Ivan saw a crooked baby who was obviously learning to walk and suddenly turned into a little leopard.

He was terrified. Although he knew from the book that orcs have the ability to transform, seeing it with his own eyes still felt a great impact. Saying that he had transformed into a beast, where did his clothes go?

Naturally, Kars also saw that scene. Seeing Ivan's stupid and cute look, he couldn't help but hugged him and kissed him, and then explained to him, "Little orcs are all beasts before they are one year old. Because I can't control it well between the ages of two, I will often switch between animal form and human form."

"Oh." Ivan nodded, and sure enough, the next moment he saw the little leopard turned into a baby again, and the clothes were naturally on his body, "Abba, where did the clothes go after the orc transformed?" Curious.

Carls, who knew almost everything, got stuck, and looked at the little leopard who was still changing around, "... I don't know." It seems that no one has ever paid attention to this problem, right?

The father and son just frowned and looked at the little Huabao. The enthusiastic eyes made people tremble. Then, after the little Huabao became a baby again, he burst into tears. Not far away, a non-orc who was chatting with people heard it. He quickly ran over to hug him and coax him carefully, and by the way, he looked up to see who made his child cry.

Kars turned around holding Ivan the first time the child was crying, and walked forward as if nothing had happened. It wasn't until they turned the corner that the father and son looked at each other and snickered.

As the sky gradually darkened, Kars left the town with Ivan in his arms.

On the way back, Kars looked at the drowsy Ivan and asked softly, "Ivan, are you happy today?"

"Yeah." He yawned a little and nodded.

"Then, are you more happy on the mountain or down the mountain?" Kars' voice contained imperceptible tension.

"It's the same, I'm happy when I'm with Dad..." Ivan felt his slight uneasiness, and said heart-warming words in a soft and waxy voice unique to children.As long as you are with your family, you will be happy no matter what you do.

"Abba's baby." Kars was very moved, his eyes were a little hot, and he gently pressed a kiss on his forehead. Such tenderness and intimacy reminded him of his mother's goodnight kiss in his previous life.

"Abba, I will always be with you." He didn't want to taste the regrets of his previous life.

"Fool, you will find a very good and powerful orc in the future, and then you will form a partner with him, and you will have your own family. How can you stay with your father all the time." But it is enough to be able to say such words.

Becoming a partner with an orc... Ivan shuddered. Fortunately, what Kars said was not marriage, otherwise he would really be killed by lightning. Brothers who were born and died to soothe each other's desires.Hope, but he still likes soft women more than tough men, even with men, he prefers to be the superior, and now, there are no soft girls here, and he is the one who is oppressed and has children. , It's too heavy mouthed!My stomach hurts just thinking about it!

"Abba, I don't want any companions, as long as I'm by Abba's side." Orc companions are too far away, so let's put them aside for now. What I have to do now is to be a well-behaved and filial non-beastman, and to strengthen my physique strength!

Kars chuckled, childish words were always pleasant and moving, and he patted him on the back lightly. Such a comfortable force made the eyelids of Ivan, who was already sleepy, twitch.

"Sleep and have sweet dreams, baby."

A soft voice is the best lullaby. Ivan closed his eyes obediently and snuggled into his arms, and said vaguely: "Abba... take me with you next time you go down the mountain..." He still doesn't have some things I understand.

"Okay." As long as the baby likes it, everything is fine.

"Abba...you went down the mountain this time...have you bought anything..."

"of course."

"But... I didn't see you holding..."

"Hehe, because Dad has a storage ring."

"……what is that……"

"I'll explain it to you tomorrow."

"……Um……"

Since then, when Kars went down the mountain once a month, he was always accompanied by a well-behaved person who carved jade, and when he went down the mountain for the second time, Ivan discovered something he had overlooked the previous time.

That is, walking in the foggy town, the orcs and non-orcs passing by will put their right hands on their left shoulders and bow slightly to his father. He learned from the book that this is a respectful etiquette, and when they When buying something, the store will respect him as "Lord Kars".

He was very puzzled. Since he had any doubts, he asked directly. He knew that his father would not hide it from him.

"'Your Excellency' is a respectful title for a seventh-level magician, and the seventh-level orc is called 'Your Majesty'." Kars pinched his little nose and said.

"Then what about the seventh level and above? How do you know what level it is?" Ivan asked persistently after grasping the key points keenly.

"The eighth rank is called the sage, the ninth rank is called the crown prince, and the tenth rank is called the saint. There is no distinction between orcs and magicians. Beastmen and magicians have to pass the assessment to determine their own strength. Beastmen accept the assessment in the Beastman Alliance The magician is in the Magician Guild, and different ranks will be awarded different badges for identification, this is the badge of the seventh-level magician." Kars motioned him to look at the round ornament on his left shoulder.

It was a brown copper badge with a number seven intertwined with complicated patterns. Ivan looked at it for a while before looking up at his father. His black eyes were unusually bright, and he said in a low voice: "Call your father ' Your Excellency 'really right?"

Kars was startled, then smiled, "Little devil."

Ivan didn't continue this topic, just smiled sweetly, and then pointed to a six-story white building that looked gorgeous, which was obviously different from other shops and residences. He wanted to ask last time, but because there was no When I came here, I didn't say anything, "Abba, what's that place?"

"That's the 'Bojia Hypermarket', which was co-founded by the five major families. In the Southern Continent, it exists wherever there are people living. It sells all kinds of items. It claims to meet everyone's needs. Each floor sells The item levels are different. The higher the number of layers, the higher the level, and the topmost items are not traded with gold and silver, but are bartered with items of equal or higher value. Of course, you can also consign or send items Just exchange money there." Kars explained in detail, because he had long discovered that the child's understanding was amazing, even though this passage should be quite incomprehensible to a five-year-old child, he knew that Ivan must I understand.

"Dad, can you take me in and have a look?"

The answer Kars gave was to pick him up and walk to the hypermarket.

Ivan put his arms around his father's shoulder helplessly, and said depressedly, "Abba, I can go by myself."

"Abba is afraid that Ivan will get lost, so it's the safest way to hold him." The depressed look of my baby is really cute! >.

Ivan sighed in his heart, who called himself a child!Resign yourself to fate!But when will the years when people can easily be picked up come to an end! ! !

Gradually approaching, the whole picture of the hypermarket is gradually revealed in front of the eyes. The top floor is oval-shaped and made of special metal. When you go to the outer wall where you can't see the end, you know that the inside occupies a huge area.

"It's so big." Ivan raised his head and exclaimed. Such an exterior wall reminded him of a city wall.

Kars smiled: "The hypermarkets in Misty Town are not the biggest. The biggest ones are in the main cities of the five major families. They all have [-] floors, but the one with the most complete items must be here."

"Why?" Isn't Misty Town just a remote town?

"Because this is the foot of the Misty Mountains." Kars blinked suggestively.

Ivan realized that the ancestors of the five major families lived in the depths of the Misty Mountains. The Misty Mountains are also recognized as a place rich in resources. There are countless high-level exotic beasts. Although this Misty Town is called a town, its essence is It is already a super first-tier city.

After entering the outer wall, I saw three entrances. I learned from Kars that they represented the orc entrance, the non-orc entrance and the magician entrance. Except for the magician entrance, the other two were guarded by tall orcs in armor. To collect admission tickets, ten gold for orcs, hardware for non-orcs, and free for magicians.

"How do you know that person is a magician, can't you fake it?" Ivan asked.

Kars carried him to the entrance of the magician. Ivan found that there was a closed stone door at the entrance, and there was a stone pillar on the right with a somewhat complicated circular pattern drawn on it. Kars raised his right hand and covered it. He went up, whispered a series of incantations, he knew it was the most basic light magic, and then the stone door opened in response.

Damn, is it too high-tech?Ivan was dumbfounded, and Kars's slow voice sounded in his ears.

"The induction circle just now will be triggered as long as there is an elemental fluctuation, so you only need to activate a first-order magic at will. You can't pretend to be a magician, baby."

Well, he's just not used to this world where magic replaces technology.

Through a not-so-long corridor, you arrive at the lobby. The layout is simple, bright and luxurious. There is an aisle in the center, and you go straight to the store. There are tall counters on both sides of the hall, and there are ten orc guards on each side. , Kars told Ivan that the counters on both sides are places for identifying items, and there are passages like this on every floor to disperse the flow of people.

"The first floor is the plant area, the second floor is the animal bone and skin area, and the third floor is the weapon area. Which floor does Ivan want to see first?" Kars asked Ivan in front of the sign introducing the area.

"Which floor is less crowded?" Ivan wrinkled his nose cutely as he watched the crowds in the store in front of him.

Kars smiled, "There will be a lot of people on the first, second, and third floors, because there are a lot of people with spare money who like to spend money to come in and gain knowledge, but if you don't like crowds, then let's go to the fourth floor."

"Will there be fewer people on the fourth floor?"

"Of course, because it is a special area for magicians, orcs are forbidden to enter unless they are the companion of a magician, and ordinary non-orcs want to go up and have a look, but they have to pay an extra five gold coins." Kars said while turning to the left Walk up the stone steps with the teleportation circle drawn everywhere.

"What about the fifth and sixth floors?"

"The fifth floor sells rare and valuable items, and the sixth floor is the auction house. Both floors are membership-based. If you have money, you can't go up, but..."

"But magicians are an exception, right?" Ivan said naturally.Magicians in this world really have a lot of privileges.

"Smart." Kars kissed Ivan and praised him. At this time, he had already hugged Ivan and stood on the magic circle, chanting the spell as softly and quickly as before. Ivan only felt that in the blink of an eye, the scene in front of him changed has been transformed.

It's really fast and convenient to take the elevator...

"Abba, is the magic circle easy to learn?" He couldn't help but whispered in Kars' ear.

"Are you interested? Go home and teach you." Kars promised very readily.

Ivan was satisfied, and then he began to look at the magician area. Sure enough, there were very few people. Compared with the hustle and bustle downstairs, it seemed very quiet here. The counters made of glass were scattered in an orderly manner. With a thick plush carpet, stepping on it will not make a little sound, giving people a very noble feeling.

"Abba, let me go by myself." Ivan looked at Kars with wet eyes.There are so few people now, how can they not get lost?

Who knew that Kars just shook his head with a smile, "Honey, the counter is too high, you won't be able to see the things inside, so Dad should hold it."

Ivan froze, and immediately got angry, Dad, it's too much! ! !

Was he being ridiculed, was being ridiculed, was being ridiculed?He wants to grow up fast, grow up fast! ! ! !
