My villain wants to save himself, but the yandere heroine disagrees

Indeed, the orcs outside are now killing each other and are too ashamed to face Limusa. The orcs who can come here are naturally not ordinary people.

Before entering the temple, for some unknown reason, Lena arrived at the door before Orson and pushed it open.

The two men stepped into the temple and were stunned by the scene before them.

From the outside, the temple was about 20 to 30 meters high. Orson thought there would be many floors inside.

But in fact, there is only one floor inside the temple.

In the center of the huge space, a bronze statue stands.

The bronze statue is a majestic man with an animal head and a human body. According to Orson's guess, this person should be Limusa, the lord of all beasts.

And around the man with an animal head and a human body, there are countless animals surrounding him.

There are jackals, tigers, leopards, pigs, dogs, cows, sheep, from wild beasts to domestic animals, from birds to fish, all kinds of animals are included.

Some of them crawled at Limousa's feet, some sat on Limousa's shoulders, and some surrounded Limousa.

Orson had only seen such a magnificent scene in the cathedral of Saint Laurent, the capital of the empire.

The cathedral is dedicated to the goddess of life Hela, who is the god who is said to have a connection and festival with Limusa, the lord of all beasts.

"Is this the god we believe in? He is so great..." Lena said this, walked to the bronze statue, placed her hands on her chest devoutly, and muttered something silently.

Orson wandered around the temple to see if he could find anything.

Then he found a yellowed book on an altar.

He approached the altar and picked up the book. On the title page, there was a passage written in a language completely different from the common language used on the continent today.

Orson was stunned.

He had understood this text.

It was the common language of the ancient continent, equivalent to the predecessor of the current common language of the continent.

Although it is called the predecessor, in fact, apart from some similarities in the characters, it has basically no similarities. Instead, it has more in common with the Elvish language that is used today.

Unfortunately, Orson happened to have learned these two languages. Although there was very little information on the ancient continent language, with the help of the Elvish language, he could barely read it fluently.

Looking at Lena still praying beside him, he opened the yellowed book.

Then, his expression gradually changed from calm to shocked.

The content recorded in the book is the timeline of ancient times when gods coexisted.

It is equivalent to a mythological story, with the same background as recorded by humans, but the story is completely different.

According to legend, in ancient times, the human god Hela and the beastman god Limusa were friends.

Friends, at that time there was no racial distinction between humans and orcs.

Limusa was the first to create all beasts, while Hela created the intelligent species, humans.

Later, humans learned to use tools and make fire, and civilization was born.

And the birth of civilization was accompanied by a lot of killing.

In order to survive, the humans created by Hela hunted the beasts created by Lemusa on a large scale. Many of the creatures carefully created by Lemusa became extinct due to the large-scale hunting by humans.

For this reason, Limusa expressed his dissatisfaction to Hela. Hela said that humans are advanced creatures, and there is nothing wrong with advanced creatures eating lower creatures.

Afterwards, Limusa created various ferocious beasts. Although humans were attacked by wild beasts in the early days, resulting in certain casualties, humans later discovered the weaknesses of wild beasts and began to work together to hunt wild beasts with tools and weapons. Eventually, the number of wild beasts gradually decreased.

Eventually, Limusa created the orcs.

Unlike humans, orcs are less intelligent, but better at fighting and have a shorter development cycle.

The appearance of orcs immediately brought huge casualties to humans, and humans were eventually forced to decide to draw a boundary and rule separately from the orcs.

The relationship between Limousa and Hela also broke down.

Later, demons invaded the continent and became the common enemy of all races on the continent. At that time, not only Hela and Limusa, but even the Dragon God and the God of Elves united to fight against the demons.

After repelling the demons, humans learned how to use magic from their enemy demons and their allied elves, and their strength expanded again.

The humans who learned magic first set their sights on the orcs. If it was a fight of force alone, the orcs could not beat the humans, but if magic was added, the humans would suppress the orcs in an instant.

The war lasted for hundreds of years, and in the end, the orcs were defeated and driven to what is now the desert and part of the eastern part of the empire.

Limusa, the lord of all beasts, also had a complete falling out with Hela because of this, but Hela took the initiative to attack before Limusa could do anything, and joined forces with the gods to defeat Limusa. In the end, Limusa fled to the desert, and used up his last divine power to create a sand barrier for his creations, the orcs.

This also explains why orcs and their offspring, the half-orcs, are not so stressed when faced with sandstorms, while other species will develop various symptoms when faced with sandstorms.

At the end of the story, Limusa died, and the Dragon God and the Elf God were very disappointed after seeing what Hela did. The Alliance of Gods was disbanded, and after helping the humans of the Western Continent to unify, the dragons witnessed the fall of humans and flew to the East.

The elves, on the other hand, live in seclusion in the forest, and most of them lead a life isolated from the world.

After reading all this, Orson felt nothing but emotion.

God is gracious to all His creation.

In order to allow humans to prosper, Hela sanctioned Limusa, which was not wrong from a human perspective.

And in order to allow the orcs to reproduce, Limusa created the desert sand as the orcs' last barrier, which was not wrong.

"It seems that Limusa is really a great god. For his creations and his people, Limusa has devoted his all. It's just a pity." Orson sighed. In the end, he didn't expect it to turn out like this.

Thousands of years ago, to the orcs, humans were undoubtedly evil and butchers. To the dragons and elves who had witnessed all the evil deeds of humans, humans were a corrupt and degenerate race.

But now, thousands of years later, the situation is different.

Some humans were still corrupt and degenerate, but the orcs also became bloodthirsty and barbaric.

Only the immortal species such as elves and dragons do not experience much change in their racial character.

After all, thousands of years, for humans, is hundreds of generations of reproduction.

"Brother Edward." Lena came up at this time. "I have finished my worship, how about you?"

"I..." Orson was stunned. Just at this moment, Lena saw the book in Orson's hand and looked at it a few times.

But after seeing that it was full of words she couldn't understand, Lena gave up.

"Hey, can you understand this book, Brother Edward?"

"I can understand it a little better."

"What does it say?"

"Well... to put it simply, it's an ancient legend that records the great deeds of Limusa."

"Oh, that's how it is……"

Lena nodded, not quite understanding.

At this moment, she suddenly said, "Hey, Brother Edward,

Actually, it’s not orcs, but humans, right?”

"Ah? Why do you say that?" Hearing this, Orson looked at Lena in confusion.

"Lena, don't you know that the desert sand is very harmful to humans?"

"That's why you always wear this cloak, big brother?"

"..." Orson looked at Lena and smiled. "That's pretty smart. When did you find out?"

"Well, one night before, when I was sleeping, I was a little curious about your race, Brother Edward, so I lifted your cloak a little, but I didn't find the animal ears..."

"Is that so?"

"Well, but I'm not afraid of you just because you're a human." Lena smiled. "Because you've helped me before, so it doesn't matter whether you're a human or an orc."

"Hehe, let me tell you a secret, big brother. The reason why I had to enter the temple before you was because when the temple opened the door, only people with orc blood were allowed to enter. If big brother opened the door, it would not be open~" Lena said this and winked playfully.

"Well, am I very thoughtful?"

"Thank you, Lena." Looking at the sensible Lena, Orson somehow thought of Litt at home.

It has been a while since I came out, and I don’t know what the situation is like at home.

Just at this moment, another orc came in from the door.

Orson looked at the orc coming in from the door and frowned.

The opponent's strength seems not to be underestimated.

Baru came to the temple and was about to confess his crimes in front of Limusa, but he didn't expect that two orcs had already come into the temple.

Especially that man, his aura made him feel a little dangerous.

When did such a strong person appear among the orcs?

He looked at Orson and Lena and walked towards them.

"You two, are you orcs? Are you here to pay homage today?"

"Yes, we are here specifically to pay homage to the great Lord of All Beasts, Limusa." Orson nodded in acknowledgement.

"May Limusa protect you forever." As he said this, Orson also blessed Baru.

"I hope so. If you have finished your worship, you can leave. Limusa does not want to be disturbed." Baru said this, turned around and returned to Limusa, knelt down in front of the two of them, and then put his hands together to pray and confess.

"Brother Edward." At this time, Lena stood on tiptoe and whispered in Orson's ear: "His action seems to be a confession. He must have done something wrong and is asking for forgiveness."

Orson nodded, then temporarily took Lena out of the temple.

At the entrance of the temple, Orson saw the shaman again.

"Master Shaman, who was that person who just entered the temple?" Orson asked curiously.

"The person who just entered the temple is Chief Baru, you know? He is the chief who led the attack on humans this time."

"Did he do something wrong? I think he seems to be repenting in there."

"Wrong?" The orc shaman snorted coldly. "He has done so many wrong things that I can't even count them on one hand."

"First, he led his troops to attack humans but failed. This alone is enough to make him kneel before Limusa for a month."

"Then he immediately started a civil war after returning, annexing other small tribes, killing the chiefs of those tribes, and killing each other!"

"If it weren't for Limusa, I wouldn't even let him through this door!"

Hearing the shaman's words, Lena covered her mouth in surprise.

"So, he was the one who started the war in the desert?"

Chapter 7: Family Rift (K)

On the other side, in the Duke of Antica's palace.

It was the first time today that Lit entered Lucius' room alone.

Although Orson had arranged for his most trusted confidant, Vivian, to take care of Lucius' daily life, Litt still wanted to come and see Lucius in person to see if his condition had improved.

Lit took a deep breath and then opened Lucius's door.

Lucius was lying on the bed sleeping at this moment.

Ever since telling Orson about his memory problems, Lucius has been sleeping more and more hours a day.

However, when he heard the noise at the door, Lucius opened his eyes dazedly.

"Is it Lit?" He looked at Lit, his eyes unusually clear.

"Yes, father, it's me." Li Te nodded and sat down next to the bed. "How are you feeling recently?"

"Not bad." Lucius nodded. "It's just that I sleep a little too long every day, and I always feel like I don't have much strength."

"By the way, where's your brother Orson?"

"Orson had some things to deal with, so he left home for a while."

"Oh, he's busy, right?" Lucius said with relief, "He's already a successful man, Lit, you should learn more from your brother. If you have half of his talent, I can leave this family to you without any worries."

"Father, you are right." Li Te nodded.

It seems that Lucius's mental state is relatively stable at the moment, and he can get along with everyone.

"Who is taking care of the household affairs now? Your mother?"
