Dressing table.
This is not a rare piece of furniture. It can be seen in the boudoir of almost every woman in human cities in the north, especially for nobles and merchants, as well as certain custom industries that make a living from it.
There is a large, snow-white and translucent mirror, and the drawers and cabinets below are filled with various makeup products.
However.
If it appeared in the southern border, it would be the residence of a demihuman race, a powerful clan that alone occupied the orc plains, and the residence of the "high priest" who was one level more lofty than the "chief" in the ancient wolf clan, and even more so. Being placed in an important place in the room will make people feel extremely inconsistent and unnatural.
And this weird feeling may reach its peak when you see this "high priest" sitting quietly in front of the dressing table again, carefully and conscientiously straightening his long hair with a wooden comb.
Baer held his hair with one hand, and kept feeling the hair flowing through the gaps in the comb with his other hand.
He kept adjusting the angle. Even though many hair strands looked very straight to outsiders, he was still not satisfied and did not allow any unkempt hair to appear.
after all
This is the most important "beauty" to him.
Finally, when every strand of hair was extremely smooth, he skillfully put his hands behind his head and began to braid his hair. Soon, the long hair was tied up on the back of his head like two butterfly wings. Baer took out his other hand to pick up the hair tie prepared on the table and tied the knot from the middle. Finally, he fixed the ends of his hair with various hairpins.
After looking at his pretty androgynous face in the mirror, which looked more feminine with his hairstyle, Baer's eyes showed satisfaction.
He learned this hairstyle from a human city. He was deeply attracted by the geisha's oiran look at first sight, so he later used it on himself. It is one of his many hairstyles. , one of the most beloved by Baer.
Hairstyle is just one part of Baer's dressing. He quickly picked up a mixed paint pen and placed it in the corner of his eye to start sketching.
but
Boom, boom, boom!
A rapid knock on the door suddenly sounded from outside, interrupting Baer's movements, especially in such delicate work as eye shadow painting, which requires concentration. Because of the knock on the door, the tip of Baer's pen was slightly tilted, which made Baer's pen tilt slightly. There is an unsightly little stain on the eye shadow line.
Baer, who just exuded grace and tranquility, became violent and rude the next moment. He frowned, and even a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
But soon after, Baer realized that this would only destroy his beauty and return to the barbarian he was before. After taking a deep breath, he calmed down again, turned his face slightly to the door and said lightly:
"Come in."
After getting the permission of the high priest, the chief of the Ancient Wolf Clan soon appeared in the room.
He and Baer are both wolf demi-humans, but their appearances are completely different. The chief wears a very traditional animal skin coat, and his broad chest is exposed on his upper body, which does not cover up his tall and thick figure at all. The protruding fangs at the corners of his mouth were even more exposed. As soon as he entered the house, there was also a strong stench. The demihumans basically did not have the habit of bathing frequently because they had lived in the south for a long time.
All these "vulgarities" made Baer in front of the dressing table frown his originally lowered brows.
When he looked back at the ancient wolf clan chief who was so muscular but ugly, at this moment, Baer seemed to see him in the past, the former one.
He was abandoned because of his appearance and gender.
"I should have told you not to disturb me while I was preparing for the ceremony, right? I hope what you say next is really that important." Baer said calmly as he put down his paintbrush in front of the dressing table.
As for the chief of the Ancient Wolf Clan, when Bal mentioned "preparing for the ceremony", he actually curled his lips in his heart, especially when he saw the dressing table where Bal was sitting and the people on the table who When humans from the north imported many bottles and cans that he had no idea of their use, but were still extremely expensive, even though he had seen them several times, he was still extremely confused and puzzled every time.
But of course, these dissatisfaction with the "high priest" will only remain in the bottom of his heart. On the surface, the chief still dare not neglect it and hurriedly reported:
"High Priest, there seems to be something unusual in the Forest of Tribes recently."
"abnormal?"
"Yes, several clans have stopped paying tribute to us. It seems that many of them are trying to unite again."
hehe.
Upon hearing this, Baer made a sarcastic sound.
He bent his fingers, took care of his nails and said casually: "How to do this kind of thing, do you still need me to teach you?"
"No, no, no, high priest, according to the intelligence information I received, the initiator of their clan alliance seems to be the leader of the revolutionary army from the sealed capital! And their speed is too fast. This has just passed. In about a week, it has already formed a large scale, High Priest, I think this time is completely different from the previous ones!"
The chief's follow-up additions made Baer's fingers pause.
He didn't care about the scale or speed. Anyway, no matter how united the demihumans were, under the "curse", they would only be a bunch of rabble.
What Baer is more concerned about is
The revolutionary army in the sealed city?
His puppet Charlotte on the northern human side had previously reported to him the news that "the Empress is in the South". It was precisely because of this that he held a meeting of the Forgotten in the "Temple".
Now combined with the chief's words, Baer had a bad feeling in his heart, and he immediately ordered:
"Bring a few sentries who came back from the Forest of Tribes."
"Yes, High Priest."
After receiving Baer's order, the chief walked out quickly. After a while, three or four sentries from the Ancient Wolf Clan were brought to Baer.
This was the first time that these sentries were so close to the high priest, and they were all a little excited and trembling, especially when the high priest who came after him actually stood up from the strange mirror stand and walked towards them step by step, even more hurriedly typing up his drafts. , prepare to receive the questions from the high priest below.
but
When the high priest raised his white palm towards them the next moment, all the excitement quickly turned into trembling fear.
Before they could even make a sound, a suction force from their souls made them wail in pain. It felt like the high priest was pulling them out of their bodies bit by bit.
Baer did not use the inefficient method of "asking" at all. Instead, he directly extracted the souls of these sentinels, closed his eyes, and personally searched for their soul fragments, which contained everything they saw in the forest of tribes. smell.
The images at the beginning were very normal.
It was the various clans that began to move their camps together, and as the sentinels continued to go deeper, when they arrived at the camp of the original Terror Lizard clan, Baer frowned.
Because he saw a maid?
Is this an android?
If it was just surprising to Baer now, then with the next scene of the soul fragment, a strong wind happened to blow by, lifting 86's short hair, so Baer, who had omniscience under the soul fragment, immediately became sharper He suddenly captured a detail that shocked his whole body and made his pupils suddenly dilate.
