Game of the World Tree - Chapter 507
507.Chapter 505: Bastard
“Is there any important information to report?”
Hearing the words of the orc Cell, Demacia was shocked and narrowed his eyes.
“Tell me about it.”
He chuckled twice, and a hint of interest appeared in his expression.
Cell paused, pointed to the direction he had just come from, and said:
“Master Elf, when I came just now, I saw a dozen orcs discussing something there…”
As he spoke, he told the other party about the movements of the orcs he had just seen.
“Well… you mean, you noticed that some orcs were dissatisfied with us and planned to resist and escape?”
After listening to Cell’s words, Demacia looked at him unexpectedly and said with interest.
His expression was full of eagerness, but there was no anger after knowing that the slaves might rebel…
On the contrary, Cell also vaguely saw some familiar light in his eyes, which was the eyes of these elves when they were wreaking havoc in the Death Desert…
That kind of eyes, the eyes of finding fun, the excited eyes after seeing interesting toys.
This discovery made Cell slightly open his mouth, and he felt more and more that these elves were weird and scary…
He took a deep breath and nodded:
“Yes, they had tried to win over other orcs before, and they also tried to win over me, but I refused.”
“Hehe, it’s interesting…”
Demacia chuckled and nodded lightly.
He carefully looked at the orc Cell from head to toe, and Cell only felt a sharp gaze falling on him, which made him subconsciously tense his body and bow his head deeply to show respect.
“What’s your name?”
Cell heard Demacia ask.
“My name is Cell, Elf Master.”
Cell answered respectfully.
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a big hand on his shoulder, and at the same time, the iconic frivolous voice of the red-haired elf named Demacia sounded:
“Cell? Well… very good! You are very good! As a reward, you will have meat to eat every day in the future.”
Meat to eat every day!
Cell’s eyes lit up and his expression was delighted.
Becoming a slave was a foregone conclusion.
For him, the thing he looked forward to most every day was the possible delicious barbecue…
After living for so many years, Cell had no other advantages, except that he was careless.
“Thank you, Master Elf!”
He said excitedly.
Just as he was expressing his gratitude, Demacia suddenly stopped his movements and asked with a smile:
“But… I’m curious, why did you choose to report to me instead of helping them keep it secret? After all… you should be the tribesmen, we are enemies, right?”
Hearing the words of the elves, Cell’s movements paused and he was a little nervous.
After a moment of silence, he finally chose to tell the truth:
“It’s useless… you can’t escape.”
He shook his head,
“It’s useless? We don’t have many people to guard you. To be honest, if you really unite, it’s not impossible for you to escape.”
Demacia also shook his head.
“But… we have all signed a contract. If we resist, we will suffer a severe backlash. Even if we survive the backlash, we will not be able to escape the pursuit of more powerful beings.”
Sharu smiled bitterly.
After that, he sighed:
“I know that it is not only the adults who are guarding us, but also those cave spiders that can be seen everywhere… and the adult behind the cave spiders.”
“You know a lot.”
Demacia looked at him unexpectedly and raised his eyebrows.
“Ahem, this… I used to be a priest in the tribe. I often dealt with human caravans and inquired about information. I also have some understanding of the strength of the adults.”
Sharu replied respectfully.
“What?! You… used to be a priest?!”
This time, Demacia was really shocked.
He looked at Sharu from head to toe again, with a surprised expression.
“There really is an orc priest who gave up his faith and became a captive, and even reported it… But isn’t this too quick to betray? Even more cowardly than me? I thought that all orc priests were tough and chose to die in battle…”
He muttered in a low voice.
At this time, another elf coughed twice, leaned close to his ear, and whispered:
“Dema, this orc was captured by our guild leader. He is the only priest who surrendered. Um… I didn’t mention it to you before.”
“Your guild leader?”
Demacia turned his head and glanced at the other party.
The speaker was a player from the Mengmeng Committee, and the guild leader he mentioned was naturally Xiao Xianmao.
“No wonder, no wonder… I seem to have heard her mention it casually, but I forgot it for a while.”
Demacia nodded, his expression suddenly realized.
He did hear that Xiao Xianmao had captured a rare “fake” priest.
It is said that the orc was obviously a silver priest, but he was only at the level of a shallow believer. In the end, he even gave up his faith and became a slave…
Now it seems that this guy is the one in front of him.
“Priests… If I remember correctly, every orc priest has managed tribal affairs.”
He muttered to himself.
And as if he thought of something, Demacia suddenly laughed and looked at Cell again.
As a silver player, Demacia’s eyes were very sharp.
Being stared at like this, Cell, whose strength had already fallen to the middle of the black iron level, became more nervous.
He buried his head deeply, trembling with fear.
It was not until a few seconds later that he heard the other party’s voice again:
“Cell, right? Are you… interested in becoming a mine head?”
“Mine head?” Cell
was stunned.
Demacia smiled again and explained:
“Hehehe, it means managing your people for us, taking care of some of your daily affairs, and reporting your movements to us at all times.”
“If you like, you will have meat for every meal in the future, and as long as you can manage the orcs well, let everyone work more efficiently, and work in a law-abiding manner, you can even be exempted from the mining task… Of course, if there are some troublesome guys that you can’t solve, you also need to report to us in time, um… This time is very good.”
“To put it bluntly, you will be the leader of all the orc slaves and connect with us.”
“However, if you don’t do well, you will be punished!”
Demacia said, looking at Cell with a smile.
Cowardly, following the heart, the brain is also quick, and at the same time has management experience.
In his opinion, this orc has the potential to be a lackey leader!
If the only thing that makes him dissatisfied is that people who can easily betray their companions, I am afraid that when the time is right, they will also easily betray the master they have surrendered to.
In other words, this guy is probably only thinking about himself and is very selfish.
This kind of character cannot be fully trusted, and will betray when he says he will.
In a sense, this Cell is also a ruthless character.
However, as long as you are strong enough, you can completely save a lot of energy by subduing such a fence-sitter and letting him do things for you.
After playing the game for so long, the mentality of Demacia is no longer the same as it was
at the beginning. Although the desire to commit suicide is still there, at least when facing NPCs, they are no longer the young people who simply regarded NPCs as data.
Considering the actions of NPCs like considering a person’s psychology is the biggest proof.
This is also a sign that many players have truly integrated into the Elven Kingdom and gradually become one with the natives.
“How about it? Are you willing?”
After explaining, Demacia looked at Cell again.
Cell was slightly stunned at first, and then his face lit up:
“I… I am willing!”
Being able to gain the trust of the elves means that his future life will be guaranteed. Of course, he is willing to do this!
Seeing Cell accepting the incorporation, Demacia was also very satisfied.
Of course, no matter how respectful the other party is, he knows that this is not true loyalty.
Even… if the players let go completely, and let this guy truly integrate the orcs in the mine and gain the support of the orcs, it is really hard to say what will happen.
Although Rose is suppressing it, it will definitely not be a big deal, but it will be very troublesome.
However, he has already thought of a solution.
When this matter is over, he will arrange players who can perform shapeshifting and disguise to sneak into the orcs and spread the news that Cell took the initiative to surrender to the elves as a lackey, so that the orcs can completely isolate him from the heart.
In this case, no matter what the original intention of this orc named Sharu was, he was essentially alienated from other orcs.
At this time, he had no choice but to cling to the players’ thighs, squeeze other orcs, and go all the way to the end.
At the same time, he had to divide those orcs who had the same tendency to surrender as Sharu.
Hehehe, only when the orcs bite each other and cannot unite internally can the players manage them more stably.
“Okay, leave your mine cart. This is your dinner today. I will reward you with a large piece of meat. Go down! Starting tomorrow, you will officially become the mine head of all the orcs in this mine, and the cave spiders will cooperate with you.”
Demacia said.
“Thank you, Elf!”
Sharu looked surprised and thanked him repeatedly.
He took out his own rice bowl and took the food. He sniffed the large piece of barbecue beautifully, and his expression was intoxicated.
He hadn’t seen such a big piece of meat for a long time!
Their tribe was originally a small tribe, and supplies were not abundant. The last time he saw such a big piece of meat was when the tribe hunted a monster in the Dark Mountains and other tribesmen offered it to him.
However, looking at the big piece of barbecued meat as a reward, after a moment of happiness, his expression gradually became lost.
He suddenly thought of his own people. He
remembered the tribal elder who refused to change his faith after being captured and eventually chose to crash to death…
He remembered those tribesmen who resolutely resisted in the battle and eventually died under the sword of the elves…
At the same time, his mind flashed back to the scene when the orcs who were discussing escape invited him…
For a moment, Sharu’s expression suddenly became a little complicated and hesitant.
“What’s wrong? Is there anything else?”
Demacia asked again.
Sharu shook his head, but his expression changed several times, and he nodded hesitantly.
“What? Is there anything else to report?”
Demacia frowned.
“No… No…”
Sharu shook his head.
He looked back at the mine again, his expression was a little tangled.
But soon, he gritted his teeth and asked with a little trepidation:
“That elf sir… I want to ask, what do you plan to do with those orcs who plan to resist.”
“Huh?”
Hearing his words, Demacia was suddenly a little surprised.
“What? What do you suggest?”
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the other party.
Being stared at by Demacia, Sharu felt his scalp tingling. He had never imagined that he would have such a fear of elves…
He took a deep breath and said carefully:
“That… Master Elf, I was thinking… Although they resisted, you also know that they are destined to fail, that… So, I think we can give them a chance…”
“Hmm? But… It’s you who reported it… Do you regret it now?”
Demacia chuckled.
After hearing what Demacia said, Sharu looked a little disappointed.
Regret?
He didn’t know.
He didn’t know why he suddenly came up with the idea of pleading for those guys…
Obviously, he originally planned to step on those guys from other tribes to gain the trust of the elves.
Obviously, he should not care about the lives of those people who were not from his tribe.
But when he saw that he was really going to gain the trust of the elves, and the price might be the death of those orcs, he suddenly hesitated.
This is ridiculous.
Obviously, he was the one who pushed all this.
But…
hey…
he didn’t understand himself a little bit.
Cell was silent for a moment, and finally could only smile bitterly:
“I don’t know… it’s just… I don’t want to see them die again…”
As soon as he said this, Cell felt that he was a little hypocritical.
At the same time, he was uneasy again.
He didn’t know if his words would anger these elves.
However, unlike what Cell imagined, after hearing his words, Demacia laughed:
“Okay, as long as you can persuade them to calm down and work hard, we will naturally not pursue other things.”
After hearing his words, Cell breathed a sigh of relief.
But soon, he was slightly stunned again and pointed at himself:
“Me?”
“That’s right, you said the things, so naturally you solve them. If you can solve them, everyone will be happy.”
Demacia nodded.
Then, he changed the subject:
“But if they really make things worse, I can’t guarantee what will happen.”
He laughed, patted the other person’s shoulder, and said meaningfully:
“Do a good job, Mr. Cell.”
After saying that, he put the ore into the storage space and left with the other elves, leaving only Cell standing there in a daze.
Cell was holding his food bowl and was in a daze for a while. Finally, he suddenly reacted and turned around and walked towards the mine…
His figure disappeared into the darkness.
After the transaction with the dark dwarfs, Demacia left Rivendell.
As he walked, he recalled the orc Cell he had just met.
“It seems that there are many surrenderists among the orcs…”
“Do you regret it… It seems that he still has a conscience. He is not a complete fence-sitter and his heart is not cruel. Well… In this case, I feel that the value of training is actually greater.”
“I always feel that maybe I can find another way to deal with the orcs.”
“In this world, the way to solve problems is not just to fight and kill… Hehehehe…”
As if he thought of something, he laughed again, and the slightly obscene expression made the players around him unable to bear to look directly at him, and their mouths twitched…
