The Age of Machines

Chapter 916 Orcs
Wei Shengmo grabbed it, probably to see where this human would take him.If it was a place where there were a lot of people, if the priest blew himself up, he would probably be able to take away many people.

Unfortunately, it is still too simple.

Wei Shengmo bent down and picked up the scepter in his hand, played with it for a while, then walked to the side of the magic circle with the scepter and inserted it into the eye of the formation.

I just saw the magic circle flickering with light, and then gradually disappeared, leaving only a piece of dark red on the land.As soon as the dark magic circle disappeared, the devilish energy in the surrounding area faded away.

The priest is dead, and the monsters in this town have no leader, and they are like a mess.

Weishengmo walked up to Beixi, bowed his head and asked, "What happened to the shock just now?"

He could feel the ground shaking in the neighboring towns, and it was extremely strong.It is estimated that [Maple Leaf City] can feel it.

Beixi said roughly.

Wei Shengmo heard the words, and took out the scroll that he got at the place where the dark priest stayed.The contents of the two scrolls are different. It was because the priest was not dead before, so Beixi focused on the sacrifice.Now that there was nothing to do, Beixi took the scroll from him again, and the two of them held one in each hand, looking down seriously.

Putao and the others were curious and took a closer look.This scroll is very old, has been yellowed, and there are several damages on the edges.However, the specific content can still be seen clearly. The magic words basically account for two-thirds of the scroll area, and the rest are some patterns.

Putao pointed to the scroll in Beixi's hand, and asked doubtfully, "President, is this a dragon or a snake?"

This thing is really hard to identify.There are horns on the head, but no claws on the body.How can there be horns on the snake's head? There are still horns on the left and right sides.But the body has no claws, and the body is still drawn slender.

Beixi looked at it for a long time, "Glory is a magical game based on Western style. If it is a dragon, it should have wings."

"Looks like a lizard."

They have never seen the dragon in the prosperous age, but they have heard it mentioned by many NPCs.So far, in this country, not even a picture of a dragon exists.

"These two scrolls are the first scroll and the second scroll." Feihu read it for a long time and came to this conclusion.

Beixi spread out the scroll, "I don't know. I can't understand the magic words, but judging from the structure of the content of this scroll, it is probably a record of something, or it is like our equipment blueprint."

is the process of making something.

"It should be an important scroll."

That's why the system prompts that the scroll is unknown.Unknown things are generally impossible to be useless, on the contrary, they may also bring tasks.

Just wait for the trigger, or find some NPC to have a look.

"Put it away first." Weishengmo handed all the scrolls to Beixi.

Beixi looked at him inexplicably, "What are you doing for me?" He found this scroll, so should she spend some time looking for someone to identify it?

Wei Shengmo: "Your prestige is higher." Meaning: It's better to look for something from Hubert.

When Beixi thought about it, it was true.In the whole of Karans, she and Wuli Wuzhong can freely enter and leave the palace, and their relationship with Hubert is above the level of heart-to-heart.

"But I don't have time these days."

Beixi frowned, looked at the scroll and thought for a while before stuffing it back into Weishengmo. "You can figure it out."

Wei Shengmo sighed lightly, although he didn't speak, he still put the scroll into the package.

Beixi looked at the time, looked in the direction Xiaoshang and the others left, and muttered, "Why haven't you come back after a few minutes?"

"Feihu, go and have a look."

Feihu nodded, speeding up and chasing in the direction where Xiaoshang and the others left.

"boom"

"boom"

At this time, there was a loud noise not far away, and Beixi and the others were startled by the sudden movement, and hurried to the source of the sound.

When they got to the place, two large holes appeared on the roof of the house emitting white smoke from the chimney, and a few meters away from the house, two figures were buried by a pile of tiles.

Putao was very surprised, "What's going on?"

Beixi also wanted to ask what was going on.

When the waltz brought people back, Ukiyo-e and Peacock could be described as in a state of embarrassment.

The two crawled out from the pile of tiles, their bodies were covered in dust, their hair was disheveled, and their clothes were torn.In team mode, the blood volume above his head is at stake.

The priest who rushed over from the team hurriedly threw a ball of healing light to the two of them.The embarrassment on the two of them was swept away, and they looked the same as before.

At this time, the expressions of the two of them can be described as very wonderful.

Waltz rolled his eyes, "Fortunately, I was smart enough not to go through this muddy water with you. I met some monster and was beaten like this."

As long as these two people act together, they will be fearless.The waltz didn't add insult to injury, it just felt that as long as the two of them touched each other, their IQ would probably be zero after the addition of positive and negative.

He could detect the strangeness, but I don't believe that the two of them didn't notice it.Originally, this town was strange, acting so casually.

When Beixi listened to the waltz, he could roughly guess what happened.

Ukiyo-e and Peacock are like this, the other party must not be underestimated.Xiaoshang and the others haven't got any results yet, Beixi doesn't want to fight with monsters now.

"Retreat first."

make a prompt decision.

However, Ukiyo-e turned around, called Beixi to stop with a dark face, and said, "No need."

"what?"

The members of the Mechanical Age who gathered around looked at a blank look, why it wasn't needed.

At this moment, Peacock raised his head to look at the attic of the house, and said in a deep voice, "It wasn't a monster that knocked us down."

"It's an orc."

As the words fell, several figures in the holes on both sides of the attic window appeared in everyone's field of vision, and they all looked up.The opponent looks like a human being, the most important thing is that he has animal ears on his head and a fluffy tail on the back.

Beixi and Weishengmo looked at each other.

These orcs feel different from players, they are NPCs.It's no wonder that Ukiyo-e and Peacock were shot down.

"Why are there orcs here?"

Ukiyo-e gritted his teeth, "It's better to ask them." After he went to the attic with the peacock, the orcs attacked them without saying a word.

After a fight, he was shot down.

Players and NPCs, under normal circumstances, still can't fight, the former can only be unilaterally suppressed by the latter.If the two of them hadn't moved so well, they would have died a long time ago.

"Are you humans or monsters?"

A thick voice came from above, and the one who spoke was a tall orc.With a black bear face, it looks fierce.

Beixi glanced at Waltz, who raised his head, put his hands around his mouth like a trumpet, and said loudly to them: "It's all a misunderstanding, we are human beings."

"What is there to prove?"

Beixi took out a holy stone and held it up high. The crystal clear stone emitted a warm silvery white light.In this gray and ruined twilight town, it is extremely eye-catching.

"Baal, that is the sacred stone of mankind. It is said that only those with a heart close to the gods can touch it."

The girl in the red dress next to her happily said to the tall orc.

The orc nodded and put the ax in his hand on his back. "We're saved."

"I'll go tell Shanarin and the others."

The orc above was gone.

Ukiyoe and Peacock walked up to Beixi and the others with depressed expressions.

Beixi asked: "What's the situation above?"

"There were a lot of defensive magic in that room, and we thought it was weird, so we went all the way to the attic. As soon as we got to the attic, we met the orc. I just asked [Who are you], and the man came over with an axe .”

They attacked subconsciously, and were reminded that it was invalid, but they also angered the opponent. After a minute or so of delay by coordinating and moving, they lost their strength and were beaten out when their skills were invalid.

And then there's the next thing.

Ukiyo-e rubbed his chest, "That orc is really strong. This place is obviously not in the safe zone, we still can't attack it, it's unscientific."

The waltz makes no secret of the ridicule. "Silly, it's not a safe zone, but it's not a demonized orc. Can you do it to a friendly NPC?"

Peacock curled his lips, "The moment he attacked us, he was already unfriendly."

"Then why can't you attack him?"

The two were at a loss for words.

If the NPC unilaterally attacks the player without reason, it is generally not in the safe zone, and the player can attack back.Whether you win or not depends on the player's ability.

"It's hard to tell if this happens." Waltz shook his head and sighed. "They didn't attack to death. Otherwise, do you think the two of you can survive this kind of unilateral attack?"

Ukiyo-e clapped his hands and suddenly realized. "I see."

The peacock thought for a while and then didn't speak.

Waltz complained again in his heart.

Beixi looked at the peacock, "What's your IQ?"

Peacock looked at Ukiyo-e with distaste and said: "Eat by this idiot."

Ukiyo-e grabbed his collar, "Can you curse again?"

Peacock pouted, "This handsome guy doesn't swear, don't expect me to listen to you. Let go quickly, the president and the others are watching."

Ukiyo-e stopped there, and was about to speak again, but Beixi hurriedly stopped her and told the two to go away. They were punished to stand for 5 minutes, and Waltz was in charge of watching them.

This work waltz is of course happy.

Looking at the two standing in a military posture, they showed "friendly" smiles.

Here, the front door of the house is open to both sides.The first to come out was the bear man who had questioned them from above, and then many orcs came out, about a dozen of them.Young and strong orcs accounted for half, and the rest were children and women.

Beixi originally thought there were only a few orcs...

"Are you the knights from the human capital?" It was a woman with silver hair next to the bear man who spoke. She should be a branch of the cat clan in the orc clan.The pupils of different colors are very beautiful, clear and flawless, as pure as jewels.The lifespan of orcs is different from that of humans, and their age of adulthood is also different from that of humans.

Looking at this appearance, if you look at it from their human eyes, this woman is in her twenties, beautiful and moving.

The appearance of the orc women is also top-notch.

Among the players, there are also many beastman players. Those female players who are originally good-looking, with animal ears and fluffy tails, are the icing on the cake, and wherever they go, they will be a scenery.

Beixi took a step forward and answered seriously: "We are not members of the Royal Knights. If you need any help, just ask. Although we are not members of the Knights, we are still capable of helping you."

The orcs looked at each other.

Barr frowned, "I can't even beat me, what can you do to help me?" He was referring to the Ukiyo-e and Peacock over there.

The two felt angry when they heard it, and just about to move, Waltz hurriedly said: "Hey, hold your breath. This NPC, you can't beat it even if you want to. There are still 3 minutes, and Renren will pass."

Ukiyo-e teeth grinding sound.

Peacock said lightly: "Calm down."

Is it interesting to get serious with NPCs?

Bei Xi was very calm, "Let's talk about the matter. We need to explain clearly what we can do for you. How capable we are, this is not the point at the moment. I see that you have injuries on your body. You must have been attacked by a monster before. The demonic energy is pervasive. Although the monster's claws are not good, But with the air of darkness, if you drag it on like this, you will hurt yourself after all." Looking at the bear man, "I'm right."

The bear frowned and said nothing.

The silver-haired woman next to him raised her hand and patted him, then took a step and said to Beixi: "Someone of us is injured, can you please give us some holy water? I am grateful for the life-saving grace." After she finished speaking, she turned to Beixi I made a salute.

Beixi glanced at the orcs present.

"I have a priest here."

Hearing this, the orcs' eyes were filled with joy.

Beixi didn't say much, just said: "Bring people out. We won't hurt you."

"Ok."

The silver-haired woman ran into the house, and after a while, she and a red-clothed fox-eared girl each helped the injured orc out.At this time, other people ran into the house and brought out the injured one after another.

Why are there so many orcs?

After roughly counting, there are 24 orcs in total.Among them, young people accounted for more than half, old people, children, and women.

Beixi asked the pastor to treat him.

From a few meters away, looking at the wounds on the orcs, they seemed to have been injured for a long time, and the magic energy had not yet fully penetrated the body, as if there was some suppression.

The skin is affected, and the color becomes dark purple or dark.

The priest's holy light is dispelled, and the holy water is added to purify.

The wound gradually healed and the skin color changed back.Looking at this situation, Beixi thought, there really is a racial advantage.If it was a human being, without holy water, it would be impossible to survive the half month with other things.

"Thank you very much."

The silver-haired woman is called Shanarin.The fox girl in red is called [Red Lotus], and the bear man is Baal.

After being polite, Beixi began to get to the point.

Ukiyo-e and Peacock approached rubbing their shoulders.

I would like to hear why this group of orcs hid in a house in Twilight Town.

"We are a caravan."

Barr took off the ax and stuck it on the ground at will, sat on the ground by himself, and began to tell the story.

They are caravans from the grasslands where the orcs came to the human empire to exchange goods.However, when they arrived at the territory of Karans, the sky changed suddenly, the beam of light fell, and the magic energy enveloped the entire Karans Empire in an instant.

The monsters almost came out in full force.

They originally wanted to rush back to the prairie, but they were forced back by the monster halfway.Originally, there were hundreds of people in their caravan, but now only a dozen people survived.

As for the women and children in the team, most of them were rescued while escaping.
