Lord of the Continent [Western Fantasy]

There are many stalls and shops on the snack street, selling a variety of orc specialties, most of which are vegetarian, and occasionally a few stalls display meat for those rare cats, dogs and half-orcs.

It was noon at this time, and the orcs on the street were bustling. When they passed Sihumi and Hersius, they couldn't help but look at them curiously, and some of them even looked directly at Sihumi.

The young man was wearing a black dress, and his gestures were elegant and luxurious. Coupled with his beautiful face and his rare pure-blooded aristocratic cat orc status, he became a moving luminous body, attracting the attention of passers-by.

Even if there is a snow wolf half-orc escort beside him, it can't stop the naked eyes of some half-orcs, like a wild beast seeing its prey, drooling, as if it is about to pounce on it in the next moment.

Hersius was very annoyed, he felt that all the orcs were coveting his treasure, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, he took Xixiumi to the corner of the street.

"What?" Xi Xiumi asked confused.

Hersius dug out a dark blue cloak from the space, which they bought at the clothing store just now, and then put it on Xi Xiumi, put on the hood, and covered the boy tightly.

"This is to prevent your identity from being exposed." Hersius carefully helped him tidy up the hair under the hood, and said nonsense, "After all, we are fake orcs. If others see through it as an illusion, it will be troublesome." .”

Sihumi has serious doubts.

Hersius has always claimed to be omnipotent, and his illusions can still be seen through?

Besides, if he is afraid of being exposed, why doesn't the angel cover himself?

However, Xixiumi didn't understand the orcs after all. Since Hersius said so, it was just wearing more clothes anyway, so he let him go.

A moment later, Hersius returned to the main street again and stopped in front of a dessert stall with Xi Xiumi wrapped in a cocoon.

The stall owner is a rabbit half-orc with long snow-white ears on top of his head and a fluffy white dumpling behind him, making fruit skewers with honey syrup.

The bright red strawberries are skewered on a wooden skewer, dipped in the thick honey syrup, and then taken out and set aside, dripping amber liquid, shining in the sun, looks very attractive.

Xixiumi licked her lower lip subconsciously. After Hersius noticed it, he immediately asked, "Do you want to eat, sir?"

"Hmm." Xi Xiumi nodded and whispered, "It seems very sweet."

Hersius chuckled, knowing that his adults like desserts the most, even black tea needs sweetened milk, so he paid for the boss, took a bunch, and handed them to Xixiumi.

The boy's face was hidden in the hood, his hands under the cloak moved, and he complained, "How do you tell me to eat this?"

Hersius asked the boss for a wooden bowl, put all the strawberries into the bowl with a wooden stick, tied one of them, handed it to Xixiumi's mouth, and said, "I'll feed you."

Xi Xiumi was a little embarrassed, but had no choice but to eat it with Hersius' hand, and then said: "You eat too."

"I'll give you all to eat." Hersius said lovingly, "I'll just watch you eat."

After eating dessert, the two entered a butcher shop, which sells dried meat with the flavor of the southern regions, as well as various kinds of marinated meat with secret sauces.

The owner of the shop is an orange cat half-orc, about the same age as Xi Xiumi, when he saw a guest coming, he hurriedly got up to greet him.

Xi Xiumi took off his cloak and hood, and revealed his appearance. The orange cat boy was silent for a moment, his round pupils shrank instantly, and the words of welcome were also stuck in his mouth, and it took him a while to react.

"Two or two customers, what do you want to buy?" He stammered and asked.

Seeing the nymphomaniac look on the orange cat boy's face, Hersius was upset, and immediately took a step forward to block Xixiumi. The orange cat half-orc was shrouded in a tall shadow, secretly glanced at the angel, and was shocked immediately.

My god, this snow wolf half-orc is terrifying!

The young man swallowed his saliva, quickly withdrew his gaze from Xixiumi, and asked Hersius knowingly, "Well... I don't know what you want to buy?"

"Ten portions of everything here." Hersius said coldly.

Xi Xiumi: "..."

"Why buy so many?" Xi Xiumi whispered, "There are at least dozens of them here, and I don't know how they taste."

"Can I have a taste?" Hersius asked haughtily.

"Of course, of course."

The orange cat boy quickly picked out a few items in a wooden bowl and handed them to Hersius, who then fed each item to Xi Xiumi to taste.

The jerky is firm and chewy, moderately salty, and slightly sweet, while the braised meat is soaked in sauce and has a rich aroma. It is quite different from the ones eaten in the manor on weekdays. It is full of exotic flavors. Xixiumi thinks it is not bad.

"It's all delicious." Xi Xiumi commented, "Then buy it as you said."

Hearing that Xixiumi said he liked it, Hersius asked the orange cat boy to wrap everything up, paid for it, stuffed the dried meat and marinated meat into the storage space, and took Xixiumi out of the shop.

As soon as the two of them walked to the street, a group of half-orcs in silver armor came and quickly surrounded them, each with their swords drawn and their eyes fierce.

Xi Xiumi was a little surprised. He looked at this group of strangers and saw that they all had khaki dog ears and tails. Judging from their clothes, they should be royal cavalry.

"Are we exposed?" Xi Xiumi asked the angel in a low voice.

Hersius looked indifferently, only looked at the group of half-orc cavalry coldly, turned his head slightly, and whispered in Xishumi's ear: "Don't be afraid, my lord, I will kill these stupid dogs immediately."

"Don't do anything yet." Xi Xiumi ordered, "It's better to ask first, what's going on."

All the half-orcs on the street gathered around the cavalry, stretched their necks and looked in, wondering how these two half-orcs, who looked like high-ranking nobles, provoked the royal cavalry.

Xi Xiumi thought for a while, and asked, "What do you guys mean? We have just arrived here not long ago, so we shouldn't have violated any laws, right?"

The leading half-orc took a step forward and said with a blank expression: "We are only following orders, please follow us immediately."

"Go? Where are you going?" Xi Xiumi asked suspiciously, "You are obviously like catching prisoners, treating us like this for no reason, there must be an excuse."

"So much nonsense!" One of the cavalry said viciously, "Be obedient if you are told to leave, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"

Hersius suddenly became furious, his blue eyes quickly turned blood red, and the tail of the wolf behind him burst completely, intending to turn these idiots into dust, and then sprinkle them into the abyss, so that they would never be reincarnated.

Sensing the angel's anger, Xixiumi immediately held his hand, squeezed it lightly, and signaled him to be calm. Then Hersius calmed down and only stared at the cavalry, ready to kill at any time.

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, a voice came from not far away: "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

As soon as the words fell, the cavalry separated consciously, and an old man wearing a linen robe came out more and more, holding a staff in his hand, which was decorated with animal skulls, which was indescribably weird.

All the half-orc cavalry knelt on one knee, performed a knight salute, and said in unison: "High Priest."

The old man who was called the high priest smiled and said politely to Xixiu: "I am the high priest of the half-orc kingdom, Pontifink, and I have specially invited two of you to the palace as guests. I have something important to say to you. discuss."

Xi Xiumi looked at the strange old man in front of him, and saw that he had long silver-gray hair, fine wrinkles all over his face, amber pupils were big and bright, showing a unique olive shape, and there were no iconic animal ears on his head , whose properties cannot be discerned.

He stood on tiptoe, leaned close to Hersius' ear, and said in a low voice, "This high priest has no ears..."

"It's a stupid snake." The angel said loudly with a look of disdain.

High Priest: "..."

Everyone present heard this, and Pontifink couldn't hold back, his face twitched slightly, and he tried his best to maintain a smirk.

Xi Xiumi leaned forward, glanced behind the high priest, and as expected, he was dragging a thick snake tail, and nodded in understanding.

"My lord priest," Xi Xiumi said in a deep voice, "We don't know each other. What is the important matter that we must go to the palace?"

"It's inconvenient to talk about it here." Pontifunke said politely, "If the two of you come into the palace with me now, you will know about it when the time comes."

"What are you guys!" Hersius mocked, "Why should my lord listen to your orders?"

The leading half-orc was enraged by Hersius' arrogance. Master Pondifink is the only high priest in their half-orc kingdom who can communicate with the beast god. He enjoys an incomparably noble status. How dare the snow wolf half-orc in front of him utter wild words ! ?

"Presumptuous!" He snapped, "How dare you talk to the priest like that?"

"Looking for death!" Hersius yelled angrily, and immediately planned to tear off the disguise and activate the power of angels.

Sishoumi immediately grabbed his arm to stop the angel's killing in time. Hersius had no choice but to be patient again. After all, he didn't dare to do anything without Sishoumi's permission, unless the situation was critical.

Pondifink stared at Hersius. Although the opponent was a rare snow wolf half-orc with a murderous look, he was just an ordinary creature. How could he compare with him who possessed mana?There is nothing to be afraid of.

A few days ago, the second prince of the orc kingdom fled suddenly. The orc royal family dispatched a large number of cavalry to look for it, and asked the half-orc royal family to assist in the search.

It was not so much a request, but an order. The half-orc king dared not disobey, so he sent several cavalry troops, and at the same time asked the high priest to find a way to communicate with the beast god, hoping to get the help of the beast god, and find the second prince's hiding place as soon as possible.

Just this morning, he prayed to the beast god as usual, never thought that the beast god would suddenly send down an oracle, which made him panic.

This kind of divine descent has not happened for nearly a hundred years, so it must be extremely important.

Due to the ambiguity of the oracle, he spent a lot of sacrifices on it before he could understand a few key words.

The central area, couples, black hair, snow wolf, sacrifice, satisfied.

Pontifunke was in a daze, pondered for a while, and vaguely comprehended Lord Beast God's instructions.

"There are two half-orcs in the central area. One is black hair and the other is snow wolf. Capture them and sacrifice them to me. I will tell you how to find the second prince when I am satisfied."

With the instructions of the beast god, Pontifink hurriedly greeted the cavalry in the palace, hurried to the central area, and quickly locked on the target.

In view of the fact that the sacrificial offering must be intact, in order to avoid harm during the capture, he decided to lure the two into the palace first, and then use mana to turn it into a sacrificial offering to the beast god.

Pondifink stroked the animal bone on the scepter with his right hand, and said with a smirk: "If you two insist on refusing, then I can only ask the cavalry to 'please' you to pass."

Hearing this, Hersius was about to scold him, but Sishoumi said first: "Wait a moment, let us discuss it." He pulled the angel aside and motioned him to bend down and whisper to himself.

Hersius had no choice but to bow obediently, leaned closer to the boy, and said with a frown, "My lord, what are you talking about? Just kill them all."

"Didn't you say that you want to come to the orc territory to find material?" Xi Xiumi said, "Why don't we go into the palace with them and see what's going on, and we can also learn about their fertility problems by the way."

Hersius was stunned, this was originally an excuse for him to deceive Sishoumi, but his lord took it seriously, he was in a cocoon, and felt annoyed.

But he couldn't find a suitable reason to stop Xixiumi at the moment, so he had to persuade him: "I'm afraid you will be in danger, and what's the point of talking with a stupid snake."

Xi Xiumi asked back: "With you here, is there still danger?"

Hersius: "..."

Seeing that the angel was at a loss for words, Xixiumi insisted: "Just do as I said, I am very curious and want to go and have a look."

Hersius sighed helplessly. Since his own god wanted to go, he had no choice but to agree unconditionally. Even if he was told to go to hell now, he would do it immediately.

"Very well," said the angel obediently, "as you wish, my lord."

The two muttered for a long time, and finally reached a consensus. Xi Xiumi walked up to Pondifink, and said in a gentle voice: "We have discussed it, and we can go there, but please put away the swords in your hands. This is not civilized hospitality." way."

Pondifink nodded slightly, and said respectfully, "I'm sorry, we were the ones who were abrupt." He motioned for the cavalry to withdraw their swords, and then made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Then I will trouble you both."

Xi Xiumi nodded, seeing the angel's stinky face and not moving, he took his hand and followed the cavalry out of the food street.
