I looked back, took a deep look at the city where I lived for sixteen years, took a deep breath, and started my task.

My father arranged for me to go directly to Longcheng, the capital of the Dragon Empire, where there is Tiandu College, one of the four major colleges of human beings. My task is to go there for further study and try to learn everything I can. Now it is May, and Tiandu College began enrolling students in August, so I have to get there before August to take the entrance examination.

Today's weather is fine, the blue sky is cloudless in Wan Li, and there are crisp birds chirping from time to time from the trees on both sides of the avenue. Leaving the cage where I have lived for sixteen years, my mood is as clear as the sky.

I am wearing a samurai costume, with a big hat on my head and three feet of yarn hanging from it, so that people can't see my face from the outside. This is still an orc country, and human beings are still very unpopular, so I have to cover up my human appearance to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Before I came out from home, I went to see my mother. She was still like that, her eyes were empty and she didn't like talking. I went, and she also likes to ignore it.

"Mom, I'm going to lie away, and I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in a short time."

She just looked at me and turned away from me. It seems that she won't care about my life and death. After so many years, I have long been numb, and no one has given me warmth except grandma.

But she is my mother after all. Although she didn't raise me, I was born by her after all. I sighed deeply and said, "Mom, I'm going to the Dragon Empire this time."

When she heard my words, she was shocked and turned her head. "Is that true? You are going to the Dragon Empire. " Mom's eyes are finally not cold, and there is a trace of human breath.

I nodded heavily. "Yes, I'm going there to complete a secret mission."

Mother stood up from the bed, shaking, and I quickly stepped forward to hold her. She murmured, "Empire, Empire, Father, Father, Ah Feng, Ah Feng."

"Lei Xiang, can you do something for me?"

I nodded and said, "Go ahead, as long as I can do it for you." Mother took out a small bell from under the mattress and waved it with her hand, making a crisp sound. The bell seemed to be made of special materials and gave off a light blue light. Her eyes were very complicated, gentle, angry and helpless, and she reluctantly handed the bell into my hand. A drop of crystal tears fell on the bell.

"You go to the Dragon Empire and find a man named Lin Feng. Give him this bell and tell him that Lingling is sorry for him." After saying this, my mother's tears poured out like spring water and threw herself on the bed. I stood there with a bell in my hand and didn't know what to do.

My mother seemed to be tired of crying, so she took out a necklace from her pocket, which was made of small silver beads and hung with a delicate amethyst carved dragon. She gave me a silent look and hung it around my neck.

"I have never taken care of you for a day. You help me finish this task. This necklace is my reward." Her words are still so heartless.

I held back my endless sadness, grabbed the amethyst carved dragon and let the hard crystal pierce my palm. I took a deep breath to calm my agitation and said, "OK, I will definitely help you deliver it." After that, I turned and left this life without looking back, but I hated my mother.

However, I still asked my eldest brother to take care of her when I left.

I have been far away from the beast emperor city, and my mood has gradually improved. I have never been far away, and everything is so novel.

The sun has risen directly above, although it is still May, but the sun's light has been very sinister, and I am a little tired after walking all morning. I looked up and found that there happened to be a simple arbor on the right side of the road. It is estimated that there should be some food for sale. I quickly stepped forward, and sure enough, it was a fruit stall. The boss was a female werewolf, and he should look over 50 years old.

When she saw me walking to the stall, she asked, "What kind of fruit would you like to eat? These are all grown by myself and absolutely fresh."

I took out a silver coin and threw it in the past. "A little of each," I said coldly.

Seeing that I had a bad temper, she didn't dare to say much. She immediately wrapped everything and handed it to me. It's really a big bag, enough for 10 people. I can't eat anything.

"Don't use so much, you take out three quarters. Give me the rest. "

The old woman looked embarrassed and said, "But I don't have the money to find you."

I thought to myself, can't you just change a silver coin? Orcs live such a hard life? I couldn't help asking, "Is life so hard? Keep the change, just take out the extra fruit. " While taking out the fruit, the old woman said helplessly, "You are really a good man. You have been fighting for years. It's not bad to be close to the capital here, and the civilians in those war zones are more bitter." We orcs can only eat if we are soldiers or are of the earth. It is not easy for me who can't fight to make a living. Are these fruits enough? "

I took the fruit she handed me, and I felt a little sad in my heart. Only the people suffered in the war, no matter which country it is.

I picked up the fruit and turned to go, when a gloomy voice said, "Boy, leave something valuable on you, otherwise, hey hey, let you make a big man's dinner today."

I looked back, and three people have surrounded me from behind, a bear man, a fox man and a werewolf. It should be the fox man who is the most cunning race among the orcs. They are all very ordinary characters.

I snorted. "Robbery?"

The three of them laughed at the same time, and the bear laughed: "Nonsense, what are we stopping you for if you don't rob? Don't let the uncles talk nonsense, and hand over the property quickly, otherwise you will be braised and served wine to the uncles tonight."

I asked flatly, "Do you often rob and eat passers-by?"

The answer this time is a werewolf, "You're right, the world is the law of the jungle, and the weak can only be the food and prey of the strong. Don't you understand such a simple truth? "

I glanced at them and said, "OK, I see. Thank you for your teaching."

I took a heavy step forward and punched the strongest bear in the other side.

They obviously didn't expect me to fight back. The knife in the werewolf's hand and the sword in the fox's hand were cut at me at the same time. I didn't pay attention to them, but I still punched the bear man straight. The bear man's figure was similar to mine, but he looked much fatter. Seeing that I attacked him, I was unambiguous. I held out my huge paw and grabbed my fist.

If I hadn't brought a hat, they should have seen a sneer at my mouth.
