Chapter 2173 Orc Curse Chapter 35
【Powerful Brick Flying (LV98-LV99)】

[Chef LV1-LV2]

Upon hearing the cheerful notification sound of the upgrade, Dali Feizhuan paused in his cooking, taking a moment to prepare the vegetables first.

It must be said that the power of food to bring happiness is truly powerful. The beastmen were originally uneasy because of the refuge and the destruction of their village, but after a few bites of the glowing food, their nerves were soothed. The pregnant beastman with a big belly even gave birth to six offspring.

Dali Feizhuan tapped the pot with the shovel, then immediately went to open the pot of nutritious porridge. Luckily, this was a virtual body with a bit of strength and an extended stamina bar, otherwise he would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.

What's infuriating is that other players from the same enthusiast group are also hanging around among the orcs, freeloading and making things harder for him.

While Dali Feizhuan was busy feeding and watering the orcs, Kate Cat officially communicated with the orc village chief.

The orc village chief is a level 50 deer orc who is over a hundred years old and speaks with a slightly off-key accent characteristic of the orc region.

Kate rubbed her forehead, trying to sort out her thoughts. There were just too many problems; she needed to focus on the most important ones.

"Language, where did you learn human language?"

Kate Cat deduced that these orcs were likely related to the pregnant orc who escaped under the cover of the nameless paladin, and that this orc and the pregnant orc were probably closely connected, both being deer orcs.

The pregnant orc learned a little human language, but that human language was probably not enough to build a complete language system. Not to mention that if a language is not widely used, it will soon evolve into a completely different language due to some language habits.

She speculated that the reason these unusual orcs could use a somewhat off-key human language was probably because they had always maintained communication with some humans.

The orcs weren't thinking much. The orc village chief quickly explained the situation to Kate the cat. Just as Kate the cat had guessed, they did communicate with some humans, but not frequently or regularly. Instead, they would treat humans who had wandered into orc territory or had encountered trouble there.

In this process, they communicate with each other and thus gradually master the complete human language system.

Kate the Cat stroked her chin thoughtfully. If she were to investigate the hunters in some villages near the orcish regions now, she might be able to learn the legend of a beast that could speak human language.

This might be a way to find the orc region and these special orcs, but they just stumbled upon it halfway through their journey, having wandered around aimlessly.

"Since you can use human language and have even healed some hunters, why not try to establish some... connection?"

The orc village chief began to stammer, not because he was hiding anything, but because he was wary. He craned his neck and looked around.

As if only after confirming that "something" was not around, he lowered his voice and whispered.

"This is taboo, and it will invite the wrath of the Great Beast God."

The true background of the beastmen, who were always depicted as humanoid beasts in the original story, was revealed to Kate the cat.

They, or rather they are not wild beasts, but a group, a race, a people, with their own culture and customs.

The various types of orcs may seem to be completely different species, but in reality they all belong to the group of "orcs". The fact that different orcs can interbreed and produce individuals called polyhorned hybrids is the best proof of this.

Orcs live in tribes and worship a deity called the Great Beast God. Legend has it that the Great Beast God was the first multi-horned hybrid, and his birth meant that the blood of the orcs was mixed. Like fragments wearing each other down, the orcs, who were destined to destroy themselves, gathered together, developed a common language, and established rules.

Although the methods used to handle matters are still violent and bloody, like beasts fighting and killing each other, this violence and bloodshed are given a just and unshakable contract in the name of the Great Beast God.

Everything is determined by power, and the outcome determined by power is unshakeable.

The Great Beast God, as the deity worshipped by the orcs, did not make many demands on them. Most of the time, the priests of the Great Beast God acted on behalf of the gods, witnessing and mediating the battles between tribes, and ensuring that the orc race could continue to grow stronger.

The Great Beast God rarely appears in person to issue divine pronouncements; even the long-lived beastmen have only witnessed it a few times, so each instance is recorded in history.

The orc village chief took out a rather old animal hide, which was a map and a record of the miracle.

A straight line runs from the intersection of the mountain ranges across the entire orcish region, striking directly at a border canyon.

That was the pillar of fire from the nameless paladin's dream world, and now Kate the Cat and the others know what that pillar of fire is—it comes from the god worshipped by the orcs, the Great Beast God.

Regardless of whether this Great Beast God was truly a god, it is clear that he sensed what the birth of the first slave orc meant. He not only rallied all orc tribes to form a massive army to attack, but also launched a long-range ambush.

After someone from the Holy Cross Church attempted to breed orc slaves, the Great Beast God issued a divine decree forbidding entry into human territory and forbidding humans from entering orcish regions.

Humans who enter orc territory must be killed, and orcs who enter human territory will be considered traitors and killed.

The main meaning is to sever any possibility of communication with humans, and even to bestow blessings.

But to Kate the Cat, this blessing was no different from a curse, as it rendered the Orcs' language incomprehensible to any living being other than an Orc.

However, Kate Cat can understand this approach. Once there is a shared language, it means communication, and communication can lead to deception.

Originally, the only way to forcibly capture orcs and train them into slaves was to use sweet words to easily and willingly make orcs into slaves, without the orcs even realizing it.

This situation has a specific term: human trafficking.

Of course, we can't treat all humans as kidnappers and condemn them all, but those with such intentions hold high positions of power and can even mobilize the Crusades.

This puzzled Kate the Cat. Why did these orcs frequently come into contact with humans, and why did even orc children know human languages?

This is a violation of divine decree. Aren't they afraid of being punished by the Great Beast God?

The orc village chief, somewhat embarrassed, revealed a shocking truth: they were actually rebels against the Great Beast God.

Several hundred years ago, there was a group in the Orcish region that rebelled against the Great Beast God, and these people can be considered supporters of that group.
