Along the way, the orcs were very wary of Eve. Several orcs even walked to the end of the team, holding weapons in their hands at all times, as if they were afraid of what this human would do.
He Wen discovered that it was not only the orcs that were hostile to humans.
Eve actually hated these beasts. She originally didn't plan to come, but she came anyway after He Wen's persuasion.
Even now, the eyes she looked at these beasts were full of anger and hatred.
"Here we are, Lady Shalia, this is our village."
Under the leadership of the old werewolf and Hal, He Wen and others quickly saw the village ahead. The village was small and the houses were very simple. There were less than ten houses, and the whole village did not look very lively.
"In my memory, your village should be bigger."
Shalia said.
The old werewolf sighed.
"Sir Shalia... you have been sleeping for too long, and you may not know many things. Come on, come and sit at my house."
The other orcs wanted to follow, but the old werewolf waved them away.
Only Hal was still following the old werewolf, and accompanied a few others to a dilapidated cabin.
"I'm very sorry, Lady Shalia, I, we really have nothing to entertain you."
The old werewolf trembled and took out a basket of something that looked like bread from home. He probably knew that it was too rude to use this to entertain guests, because his hands kept shaking.
"You are Welcome."
Shalia didn't care at all, she picked up a piece and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Well, it doesn't taste as good as it did back then, but it's still good."
Shalia took a few more to the people behind her.
"This is a kind of bread unique to the beast tribe, called Tuta. It's delicious."
He Wen took the thing. It was dark and a little hard to hold. It didn't taste good no matter how you looked at it.
But there is no other way. Guests can do as they please. It would be rude not to eat.
So he put it in his mouth and took a bite.
The outer crust is indeed very hard, but there is a secret hidden inside. The inside of this bread has rich texture, and a sweet smell lingers in your mouth.
"tasty."
He Wen made an evaluation. In fact, strictly speaking, this thing called Tuta is just worse in taste than ordinary human bread, but once people don't have high hopes for something, it will give you Some surprises.
Shirin also ate a piece of bread in a few mouthfuls, with a look of surprise on her face.
Only Eve, no matter how He Wen persuaded her, she refused to eat.
"I won't eat food from the beast tribe."
"Hmph, humans are always so arrogant and conceited."
Hal leaned against the door, looked at Eve and said with a cold snort.
"That's better than you bloodthirsty beasts who only know how to kill."
Eve responded mercilessly.
"Oh? Really? Then I can show you how we are so murderous."
Hal's face showed a slightly angry expression.
The same was true for Eve, and the two were tit for tat. At this moment, the old werewolf sighed and said to Hal.
"Hal, go hunting quickly...or you won't have enough money by then."
Hal glanced at the old werewolf, then snorted and walked out of the room.
"I'm sorry... This child has been like this since she was a child. She has a bad temper and personality. Alas... but she is a very kind child..."
"Kind? Orc?"
Just when Eve was about to say something, He Wen walked directly in front of her, reached out and pinched her face.
"Eh? Doctor He Wen, what are you doing?"
"You are a patient and you must listen to the doctor. Now the doctor feels that your body has not fully recovered, so stop talking."
"Yes, but Dr. He Wen, I..."
"Um?"
He Wen frowned slightly and glared at Eve. Although Eve was still not happy, she still clenched her fists and nodded.
"What do you want the money for?"
Shallya didn't care about the dispute over there. She looked at the old werewolf and said while chewing bread.
"...The place we live in now is human land, and if we want to survive here, we must pay land fees to humans."
"Huh? I remember that this forest used to be the territory of the beast tribe."
Shalia was a little confused.
The old werewolf slowly sat on the chair, holding the stick in both hands, seeming to recall some past events that were difficult to look back on.
"About ten years ago, the newly appointed lord led the knights into the forest. When they came for the first time, they started massacring without any communication with us... Although our tribe relies on the advantages of the forest Several waves of human attacks were repelled, but they immediately called for magicians... and set fire to the forest."
Having said this, the old werewolf slowly clenched his hand, and the stick creaked when he squeezed it.
"The forest is our home. We love this forest. Humans can't get it, so we would rather destroy it, but we can't... So we surrendered, and then there was another massacre. Most of the animals All the clansmen were killed, and some were taken out of the forest and never came back.”
At this time, He Wen suddenly remembered that besides the elf girls being sold in the underground kingdom of Taris City's black market, he also saw something.
It was a place that was covered by a curtain, similar to a kitchen. He Wen only glanced at it accidentally. He saw many people with strange ears or tails, pierced by hooks and hung together like meat to be slaughtered. .
What's even more frightening is that they haven't died yet.
He didn't want to remember it anymore, nor did he want to think about the fate of those suspected of being beasts...
"After that... the knights camped outside the forest. The lord seemed kind enough to let us old, weak, sick and disabled beasts continue to live in the forest, but he had to charge expensive land fees, even if we paid Land fees, those knights often come back to harass us. Because of the lord's order, all our weapons were burned. Even for hunting, we can only use tools made of wood or stone... In this way, those knights Even more unscrupulously, young orc girls and even children were captured and humiliated by them... What they finally sent back was just a naked, cold corpse..."
"No!! Impossible! You, how can you slander the knight like this!"
Eve couldn't bear it any longer. She pulled out the long sword from her waist and pointed the sword's edge directly at the old orc.
"Eve, calm down."
Although He Wen couldn't tell whether the old orc was telling the truth, he was still in someone else's village and shouldn't do anything.
"That's right...that's it."
The old orc was not afraid, but slowly raised his head, and his dry eyes looked at Eve.
"You humans, those knights, used this kind of sword to kill my people one by one."
"..."
Eve was stunned for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth, put away her sword, turned around and left the cabin.
"Shireen."
He Wen winked at Shirin.
"I, I, I, I will, follow, follow right away!"
Although the elf girl was timid, she was very smart. She immediately understood what He Wen meant, turned around and chased in the direction Eve left.
"Alas... Lady Shalia, you have made it clear to us the biggest threat in this forest, but unfortunately... we still have not escaped the fate of imminent destruction."
Shalia slowly stopped eating the bread.
She looked back at He Wen, then pointed at the old orc and said.
"How long can he live?"
He Wen walked to the old orc and squatted down.
"Excuse me, old gentleman."
"Huh? What...are you going to do?"
Before the old orc could respond, He Wen had already activated the life detection technique.
[The target's body is failing in many parts, his vital signs are in critical condition, and his remaining life expectancy is one month]
He Wen frowned slightly.
When the body's organs fail, unless an organ transplant is performed, even modern medicine cannot restore the failing organs.
[Treatment suggestions have been made based on the host’s current level and the number of demon points it possesses]
[The host can convert the eight harvested souls into life force, and use the life force to nourish failing organs. Depending on the quantity and quality of souls currently held, the current target can successfully extend the life span by 50 years. 】
He Wen's eyes suddenly lit up.
That's right, now I am no longer a modern doctor, and I can't even be called a human being.
What humans can't do, why can't I, a demon, not do it?
