Cattle and sheep always came in herds, and this Palista and Omriel obviously wore the same pants; Carlos was no stranger to this kind of wishy-washy politeness, he just hadn't expected orc society to be like this!

　　"Ugh, it's true that it's the same in any world." Carlos thought silently.

　　During the dinner, both Palista and Omile kept asking Hylia what she thought of the Meath Ape clan, testing Hylia's attitude from just a few words, while Hylia said that the Meath Ape did have clansmen involved in the kidnapping of her, but that didn't mean that the Meath Ape clan had betrayed the Orc Empire!

　　"Doesn't matter, as long as it's related to the Meath Ape Clan, so that their territorial extent will most likely be cut by the royal family, and as a neighboring race of the Meath Ape Clan, perhaps my Kelon Bullhead Clan can add some territory."

　　Paslita said with a smile.

　　"The fruits are plentiful in the territory of the Meath Ape Clan, so don't forget my old friend me when the time comes!"

　　Omilee said solicitously.

　　"Don't worry, with the relationship between our two clans, you won't be spared when I gain benefits."

　　Paslitta assured him with conviction.

　　The dinner, mixed with a confluence of interests, came to a successful conclusion, and even though the dinner wasn't as good as the barbecue, the long-lost taste of home still made the Bell Bear and Robert Rabbit warriors happy with their meal.

　　The dinner was over, Carlos returned to the room he was assigned to and stared blankly at the ceiling, by observing Shelia's conversation with the other orcs, it was not difficult to realize that Shelia's status didn't seem to be as high as Carlos thought it was!

　　There is an explicit enough respect, but not enough awe!

　　Is this how a nobleman should be treated?

　　At the dinner party Shelia simply becomes a tool to be used for profit!

　　Carlos began to hesitate, what exactly was Shelia hiding, should he still follow Shelia and the others back to the territory, here Carlos had not heard of a turtle tribe's territory either, so how should he survive?

　　It was a series of questions that plagued Carlos deeply, causing him to toss and turn, unable to sleep for a long time.

　　It was nearing the end of the night when there was a sudden knock on the door of Carlos's room, a light knock, but even the smallest sound can seem so agitated in the silence of the dead of night.

　　The already sleepless Carlos became even more awake, Carlos didn't get up and open the door the first time, but waited for a while before opening it, Carlos also pretended to look sleepy, disguising the fact that he had just fallen asleep and was now woken up by the noise.

　　Meanwhile Carlos was guessing, guessing who would come to see him at this time, and Carlos guessed Shelia!

　　Maybe she has something to say.

　　Upon opening the door, Carlos was a little disappointed that he had guessed wrong and it wasn't Shelia who had come, but Hoffman!

　　"It's Hoffman, what can I do for you?

　　Ha~" Carlos yawned as a way to seem like he was pretending to be a little more genuine.

　　"I'm sorry to bother you, I know it's not nice to bother you this late, but there's something I want to talk to you about seriously."

　　The rough-hewn Hoffman, at the moment, showed rare deliberation and caution!

　　Such a look Carlos had only ever seen when Hoffman was seriously grilling fish!

　　Carlos understood that it must be something important, and hurriedly made a show of playing up and listening attentively, although Carlos had long been fighting for a hundred and twenty thousand minutes!

　　"After coming to the Orc Empire, you can already leave anytime you want, and you have the right to pursue the life you want, but I'd like to ask you to stay on, because Ms. Hylia really needs your help!"

　　"Miss she may be too embarrassed to say it herself, so I'll have to say it for her!"

　　Hoffman said with steely eyes.

　　"Your lady is a noble, what do you need from me?"

　　Carlos said with a deliberate look of incredulity.

　　"That's exactly what I wanted to say, in fact, what Miss Hylia is in is a small branch of the Swan Clan, and it was actually us who deceived you before!"

　　"Miss Hylia's fathers have all been very much in decline, and don't really have any family business to take over, Miss Hylia originally wanted to rely on trading with humans to get some money so that she could revitalize her family, but unfortunately she ran into the slavers!"

　　"If it weren't for the fact that these humans offered a price that Ms. Hylia couldn't refuse, Ms. Hylia wouldn't have gone out of her way to make a deal with humans from an unknown source!

　　These wretched humans have destroyed Ms. Shelia's last hope," Hoffman said indignantly.

　　"How come, I see that Shelia is usually quite cheerful, it's not like she has so much on her mind!"

　　Carlos said in surprise.

　　"That was Miss Shelia putting on a show of strength, perhaps mixed with some of the joy of being reborn after the robbery, but one has to admit she smiles more when she's with you."

　　Hoffman said softly, his words having a delicacy that didn't match his stature.

　　"I'll take that as a compliment... say, isn't she a priest, and with such a high status as a priest, does she need to really revitalize herself by any other means?

　　A sacrifice is enough, isn't it!"

Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.

　　Carlos identified the holes in Hoffman's rhetoric.

　　"This forgets that you don't understand anything, sacrifices are also divided into grades, ah, Miss Hylia is only a small Wind Priest now, her status isn't very high, in the Swan Clan Wind Priests are only the lowest standard, becoming a Wind Priest isn't enough for the family to take it seriously!"

　　"Although the birth rate of the Wind Sacrifice in the Swan Clan is not one hundred percent, but more than thirty percent is still not difficult, perhaps in other races the Wind Sacrifice is very rare, but in the Swan Clan it is very rare."

　　Hoffman sighed somewhat helplessly.

　　"Miss Hylia's talent is still very good, but unfortunately there isn't much time for Miss Hylia to grow now, if Miss Hylia's clan still fails to meet the standard in the next clan selection, this branch of Hylia will completely disappear and be forced to integrate into other powerful branches!"

　　"And the major formality that contributed to this outcome was the fact that Miss Shelia was marrying someone she had never met before, and that was the hardest thing for Miss Shelia to accept!"

　　"I've heard that you have the magical power of a Langstar Magician level, so if you join us, it will be easier to reach the standard, and after reaching the standard this time, when Hylia-sama becomes a higher-ranking priest, a chanting priest or a war priest, her status will be greatly elevated, so Hylia-sama's pressure will be much less!"

　　"So please stay and help Ms. Shelia!"

　　Hoffman pleaded sincerely.

　　"Sure!"

　　Carlos didn't hesitate for a second.

　　"Words cannot describe how grateful I am for your generosity!"

　　Hoffman expressed his sincerest gratitude by bowing deeply to Carlos.

After Carlos accepts Hoffman's request, Hoffman expresses his gratitude and heads out.

　　Carlos closed the door and lay back down on the bed, still staring blankly at the ceiling, only this time Carlos fell asleep quickly, perhaps because he had finally found his claim, perhaps because he was finally at peace, in short Carlos slept deeply.

　　The next day, when it was time to go, both Paslita and Omile came out to see Shelia off, who smiled in greeting and then waved goodbye.

　　"Carlos, where are you planning to go?"

　　Shelia asked out of the blue when she saw that Carlos had followed suit.

　　"I don't have much of a place to go, and I'd like to follow you guys to the Swan Clan's territory just to hang out, so I was wondering if you'd be willing to take me with you?"

　　Carlos said softly.

　　"Of course I do!"

　　Shelia said happily.

　　Shelia opened the door to let Carlos up, and inside the car sat Hoffman and Avril, Hoffman smiled slightly toward Carlos.

　　"Hello everyone!"

　　Carlos smiled and greeted the two men, who smiled back, and there was a little more of what he called gratitude in Hoffman's smile, which Carlos understood, and eye contact between the men was always worth a thousand words.

　　Neither Shelia nor Avril noticed Carlos and Hoffman's little gesture.

　　Hylia the main power of their transportation is a kind of magical beast called crystal beast, this is a very common and commonplace kind of magical beast in the continent, the attack power is not strong, but it just has the strength to land on all four limbs, the tail is broken, and the skin is rough and hard like a stone, but it is also therefore not afraid of the wind, the sun and the rain and the snow.

　　The most crucial thing is that the crystal beast's favorite thing to eat is the magic crystal stone, as long as you give the magic crystal stone to eat, the crystal beast will be very obedient, and endurance is strong, is commonly known as dry more, eat less, cost-effective, also because of the docile and obedient, the attack power is not strong, so it has become the most accustomed to the use of pulling the car of a good helper, and later gradually turned into a mode of transportation!

　　It became instrumental!

　　"By the way, you didn't tell me yesterday why the Bell Bears aren't a vassal clan of the Maimans Mammoths!"

　　Carlos said as if he suddenly remembered something.

　　"That ah, you can let Hoffman talk about that one!"

　　Shelia advocated for Hoffman to be allowed to say.

　　Carlos then looked at Hoffman again, between which Hoffman said with a straight face, "It's all the will of the God of War!"

　　"Why are you saying that too, I want to be specific, don't be so perfunctory!"

　　Carlos said very helplessly.

　　"Then I won't, I only know it's the will of the God of War, I'm not sure about the rest!"

　　Hoffman is like a Bean at this point.

　　Carlos's eyes kept going back and forth between Hoffman and Shelia, and the meaning was unmistakable; Carlos wanted an explanation.

　　"To know this, first you need to know the five great nobles of the Orc race!"

　　Shelia was back in lecture mode, a lecture mode that taught Carlos quite a bit about the world!

　　"These five noble clans are the Maimans Mammoth Clan, the Lebens Leopard Clan, the Igaid Bald Eagle Clan, the Foxy Fox Clan, and the Skonnika Swan Clan!"

　　"These are the five great nobles of the Orc Empire, with an honor second only to the royal family, the Maimans Mammoth Clan has a well-deserved first place in strength within the Orc Clan, with a strong body that gives people a very reliable feeling.

　　The presence of Mammoth Clan warriors on the battlefield can make the soldiers feel more secure, but unfortunately the fertility is not strong, the number in their territory stays around 600,000 for a long time and grows less, maybe this is the price of being powerful!"

　　"The Lebens Leopard Clan, they are the fastest communicators on the battlefield, scout-like, as well as stronger in single combat, and the Igaid White-headed Eagle Clan, with the advantage of being able to fly, is an essential air combat force for the Orc Empire!"

　　"The cunning minds of the Foxy Foxes can compete with those of humans, and they are the strategists of war; they are good at analyzing the situation, know how to avoid harm, and can often guide their teams to make the right choices!"

　　With them around as long as the strength gap wasn't too great, it was basically impossible to suffer, which was why the royal family had put Foxy out to use it.

　　Someone who understands the importance of thinking about the team at all times is best suited to be a leader, and the Foxy Foxes have that kind of thinking in their heads."

　　"Throughout history, the decisions of the Foxy Fox Clan have saved the Orc Empire from a deep crisis!

　　That's why they're so honored!"

　　In one breath, Hylia described the merits, roles and credits of the other four nobles.

　　"When you look at it like that, the Swans seem to be the least useful, with no fighting power, and probably less intelligent than the Foxy Foxes!"

　　Carlos said in surprise.

　　"That's true yes, but every type of noble has special abilities, and abilities that no one else can replace!"

　　Shelia said with a proud tone.

　　"The Swans are the magi in the Orc Empire, responsible for communicating with the God of War, interpreting and conveying the will of the God of War, and the Swans who do such work have thus gained, magical powers granted by the God of War!"

　　"During a certain battle, when the Orcs were defeated and being chased badly, one of the Swan Clan suddenly comprehended the war hymn given by the God of War, and this kind of song could actually inspire the soldiers of the Orcs, and the warriors who heard the hymn were able to burst out with even more power!"

　　"So what does this have to do with the Bell Bears?"

　　Carlos couldn't help but interrupt, as the half-talk didn't seem to have anything to do with what he wanted to ask."

　　"Don't worry, of course there is a reason in between, it is said that the first Swan Clan who chanted a war hymn, the troops he enchanted were the Bell Bear Clan, stimulated by the hymn, the Bell Bear Clan exerted more than double the power than before, and took out all of the human beings who were originally on their heels!"

　　The two clans fought together in a bloodbath, so the Swans and the Bell Bears developed a deep friendship, and the guidance of the God of War guided the Bell Bears closer to the Swans.

　　As the race with the most sacrificial output, the Swan race is undoubtedly the race favored by the God of War, but also for this reason, the Swan race does not have any strong means of self-protection, compared to the other nobles to be weak, so the royal family specially deployed the Bell Bear race to become the vassal of the Swan race, shouldering the burden of defending the Swan race!

　　That's why the Swan Clan was able to be among the top five nobles with the weakest strength of their own, but the Swan Clan's ability couldn't be ignored just because the Swan Clan itself was weak.

　　Because when it came to fighting, with the Swan Clan and without the Swan Clan, there was simply a world of difference in the fighting power of the Orc Legion in both cases!

　　The friendship between the two clans then continues to this day, and to this day, not only have the feelings not slowly faded over time, but they have grown even deeper because of their mutual companionship.

　　In order to maintain and consolidate the status of the nobility, the Swan Clan also has a regular assessment of the abilities of the clansmen within the clan, to eliminate the weak and retain the strong, streamline the quantity and ensure the quality!
