Chapter 2008 The dove occupies the crane's nest
"Feng shui is a rather mysterious subject. Although there is no clear evidence to prove its scientific validity, there is something called 'human sense'."

"A room that is well-ventilated and has good natural light will naturally make people feel comfortable. On the contrary, if you have a sword hanging over your head while you sleep, even if it does not pose any danger to you, you will still have trouble sleeping all night and feel physically and mentally exhausted."

"Feng shui is a statistical analysis of this 'feeling'."

The forger nodded at the location of the Great Beast God's Goblet of Fire on the map.

"Well, I've searched for many cases of feng shui, such as suppressing someone's dragon vein, severing their dragon vein, or cursing them to have short lifespans for generations. But this case of suppressing the source of the dragon vein is really rare, since there is usually only one source of the dragon vein."

"Feng shui is all about wind and water. The flow of air and the humidity of water affect the ecosystem. Although fire represents the vitality of life, it is destructive in the natural ecosystem. In feng shui, fire makes the air hot and dry, and reduces moisture. Wind not only cannot alleviate this, but will also fill the entire room with this heat."

"This Great Beast God's Goblet of Fire, which is pressing down on the source of the dragon vein, is no less than a needle hanging over one's brow, and has had a rather ominous impact on the entire orc territory."

"The flames and heat from the Goblet of Fire will travel along the dragon veins to the entire orc territory, burning the orcs' minds and making the whole map extremely hot."

“Oh, that’s true.” Blazer nodded in sudden realization.

Although he had never seen the Great Beast God, he had heard the legend of the Fairy Kingdom defeating the Great Beast God, who was an individual who possessed the fire attribute.

Among orcs, fire and lightning are attributes that only the most noble individuals can master, symbolizing the natural fear and submission that beasts have towards fire and lightning.

The Great Beast God remained within the Great Beast God's Goblet of Fire. According to legend, the Great Beast God's Goblet of Fire burned eternally until the heroes of the Fairy Kingdom ascended that mountain, ended the Great Beast God's reign, and extinguished the flames.

But the Goblet of Fire still retains embers and high temperatures, continuing to flow along the dragon veins to various parts of the orcish territory, burning the ambitions of the orcs who aspire to be kings and generals, and becoming the faith of the fanatical followers of the Great Beast God.

The reason why we didn't feel this sense of incongruity when looking at the previous map is because the Great Beast God is still alive, and as the source of fire, he continuously sends the scorching heat along the dragon vein to the entire orc territory.

The worship of the Great Beast God has dominated the entire orc territory for thousands of years, and the entire land is inscribed with the totem of the Great Beast God. When the entire orc territory is abnormal, the Great Beast God's Goblet of Fire, which caused this abnormality, seems to be perfectly normal and harmonious.

With the Great Beast God's fire source defeated and the orcs liberated, the entire land is returning to normal and full of life. As everything returns to normal, the abnormality of the Great Beast God's Goblet of Fire naturally becomes apparent.

"Well, besides the incompatibility between the Great Beast God's Goblet of Fire and the Dragon Vein Source, this terrain also has the appearance of a cuckoo occupying a crane's nest. I think this place should not have originally belonged to the Great Beast God and the Great Beast God's Goblet of Fire."

“That’s right. Although I’m not an orc from that era, as a former king orc, I know a little about the past.” Lottie leaned on the table, maintaining the same height as Blaze and the forger.

"Originally, a Dragon God Altar should have been built there to worship the great Ancient Dragon Princess and the Supreme Prince. Unfortunately, when the Ancient Dragon Princess and the Supreme Prince were attacking the capital of the Supreme Holy Kingdom, a terrible accident occurred. I don't know what happened, I only know that they never came back."

"Of course, they've come back now, but unfortunately they don't intend to return to lead the orcs. However, if they hadn't met with an accident back then, the orcs might not have suffered the torment of the Great Beast God for thousands of years."

Blaze slowly covered his face. Why did the orcs suffer so much? Ask Theresa, the greatest villain in human history.

He hadn't expected that even after so much time had passed, they would still be delving into Theresa's case. So, it seemed that anything in the new era that hindered peace was necessarily related to Theresa?

"Let's put this aside for now. What should we do now?" Blaze forcibly pried his hand off, trying to act as if nothing had happened, but he was already sweating profusely.

Now his private affairs are turning into public affairs. He has been accepted as the heir to the divine flame, so he has to inherit it, whether it's good or bad.

He can't just take all the benefits, including the God Era's weaponry, and then cut ties when the problems left over from the God Era erupt.

This is something you can't do.

"Is the problem serious?"

"Well, it's not too serious. The reason you sensed something was off is because the dragon vein is recovering on its own. Without the Great Beast God as its source of fire, the Great Beast God's Fire Source Cup will eventually be extinguished. But..." The forger added a "but," taking out a commission form.

This is an ordinary job posting, commissioning a stranger to eliminate savage orcs.

This is the "but": the prerequisite for the dragon vein to complete its self-repair is that the Great Beast God's Goblet of Fire will not reignite a new source of fire.

The Great Beast God was defeated, but his followers still exist. In that cruel system of survival of the fittest, the title of "Great Beast God" is just that—a title. The stronger one can become the next Great Beast God.

The ever-active savage orcs are a sign of the resurgence of the Great Beast God's flame, while those orcs who have been granted titles of kings and generals are candidates for the Great Beast God as the seeds of this flame.

Even if the savage orcs, the fanatical followers of the Great Beast God, and the candidates for the Great Beast God cannot make much of a splash due to reasons such as being outsiders or the general situation, it will still greatly affect the restoration of the dragon vein.

and……

“I remember you said that feng shui is a kind of statistics. Even if you don’t know anything about feng shui, you will still act in accordance with feng shui principles based on your instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm.” Blazer’s expression was serious as he pointed to the dragon vein on the map.

"Is it possible that those savage orcs are doing something on these dragon veins, acting on instinct to accomplish their goals?"

"Um……"

The forger frowned and paced back and forth, his shadow swaying in the light like a pendulum or like many people walking around.

Finally, he stopped.

"My answer is that it is possible, and it is not difficult to do; on the contrary, it is quite simple."
