Chapter 36 The Northern Wilderness!

Chapter 36 The Northern Wilderness!

 After experimenting with it, Carlos was now convinced that his God's Whisper was a bit different compared to others, that is, not only did it have a beneficial effect on Orcs, but it would also cause damage to races that weren't Orcs!

  This would give Carlos another tool and card to use against his enemies, and when someone thought Carlos was a weak sacrifice, Carlos would give him an unforgettable feeling!

  "Shelia, how far is this from that northern wilderness?"

  Carlos asked casually.

  "There's about a day or so left to travel, but we can't make it a whole day's journey, and excluding the time we rested in between, a full two days would be enough to reach the Northern Wastelands!"

  Shelia is always very thoughtful about things.

  "There's not enough food for the crystal beasts, I've used up all the ones I have, do you have any more?"

  Hoffman said as he suddenly ran over.

  "Magic crystals huh?

  Bring over the ones that are already scrapped, I'll infuse them all full later!"

  Carlos said, full of himself.

  Carlos's magical energy eventually stopped at a fifty percent conversion rate, and hasn't been lowered since.

  Although it was only half, with the support of Carlos's massive amount of elemental energy, magical energy wasn't a rare material, so Carlos didn't feel the slightest bit of pain, and with a big wave of his hand, he took on the task of providing food for the crystalline beasts.

  While infusing magical energy, Carlos talked to Shelia about things concerning the Lords.

  "Shelia, what do you think makes a good lord?"

  Carlos asked with a sad face.

  "Well, I've never been a lord, so I'm not familiar with this matter, but I think a lord who is good to the people in his territory and guides it to continuous prosperity should be a good lord."

  Shelia spoke the image of a good lord in the eyes of the general public.

  "I've never done it before, can I do it right?"

  Carlos is very unsure of himself!

  , Carlos had never been good at management, both in his previous life and this one, and Carlos was skeptical about being able to do it on his own!

  "How?

  No one is born to be exceptionally good at what they do, and even if you've never done it before, it doesn't stop you from being a good lord, and while the Orc race doesn't have as strong a talent for learning as humans, they do have the wisdom to generalize and summarize!"

  "The God of War says 'Grow through experience, even if it's not a wonderful experience!'

  This was something that every powerful orc warrior would face, to bravely face suffering and not give up easily, this was also the teaching from the God of War!

  I've always believed that you were a messenger sent by the God of War to change the entire Orcish Empire!

  If it's you, it'll work!"

  Shelia said with a straight face!

  This serious and earnest expression strengthened Carlos' conviction!

  Maybe that's the power of trust!

  Carlos's heart exploded with a confidence he had never felt before, he was sure that he would make a good lord and had set ambitious goals to do so!

  Isn't this the northern wilderness?

  Originally a place shunned by all, then Carlos is going to transform it into a northern paradise, a utopian ideal for everyone!

  With this thought in his heart, Carlos' hand movements did not listen for a moment, and the magic crystals piled up beside him had become a small hill, all of them emitting abundant light, reflecting the abundant magical energy within them!

  Carlos handed over all the newly infused magic crystals to Hoffman for unified management, and it was Hoffman who was tending to the crystal beasts on this journey, he seemed to prefer doing these things.

  Hoffman took the piles of magic crystal stones and happily took them over to the crystal beast, the crystal beast had a large meal, Hoffman hugged pile after pile over, and almost emptied them before the crystal beast felt satisfied, and then drooped its eyes and flopped down on the ground!

  The body of the crystal beast also emitted the same light as the magic crystal stone, different from the state where the magic crystal stone was always lit up, the light of the crystal beast flashed brightly and dimly, constantly flickering around its body, vaguely in line with the rhythm of its breathing, it looked as if they wouldn't get up and hurry until those magic crystals in their stomachs were consumed!

  Carlos also took this time to get some rest, his body was strangely sore from the bumpy ride, there were no soft cushions in this car, it was as hard as the doors to the temple, making it very difficult to get around.

  "Hylia, which orc races live in the northern wilderness?"

  Carlos asked.

  "The northern wilderness contains a complex division of races, and is not inhabited only by orcs, which is why I was surprised by your fiefdom at first!"

  Shelia said rather gruffly!

  "In addition to having the Orc race, the self-proclaimed noble Sea Spirit race and a large number of magical beasts also reside there, the power of the Orc Empire is not particularly high where it is concerned, and normally there is an enthronement ceremony for the fiefdom of the Order Priest!"

  "The ceremony is tedious and solemn, and a royal handwritten note is required as a voucher before the order priest can take the royal handwritten note and go to the territory to take up his duties.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

  But since it's your territory that's the Northern Wastelands, the ceremony of enthronement is skipped outright, and the royal family's influence over the Northern Wastelands is really limited, so there's no need to organize it.

  A royal handwritten note wouldn't be much more noble than toilet paper in the Northern Wastelands!"

  Hylia said awkwardly, such words were sort of belittling the royal family of the Orc Empire, but that was the truth!

  "That's awesome!"

  Instead of disliking the fiefdom because of Shelia's introduction, Carlos was excited by the territory's idiosyncrasies!

  "It's good that there isn't!

  I'm so sick of all the red tape, it's stinky and long and boring, it's just not much fun, and when you look at it this way, is it true that I can do whatever I want and no one can control me?"

  Carlos said excitedly.

  "Well, according to the laws of the Orc Empire, the Lords have the unified right to settle and deploy everything within their territories, but the Lords themselves are subject to the arrangements of the Temple Priests and the Royal Family!

  Orders and requests must be fulfilled to the best of one's ability, or a disobedient lord can be dismissed at any time!"

  Hylia slowly recounted the Empire's laws on the subject.

  The more Hylia said, the more the excitement on Carlos' face faded, at the end of the day, it turned out that he was just a puppet like existence, or he had to look at the face of the higher-ups to act, the surface freedom was only nominal, in reality, he did not have the slightest bit of autonomy!

  "That's true for other lords, but the Northern Wastelands is an extremely special place, where sea spirits and magical beasts are uncontrollable factors, and basically the royal family and temple priests don't expend their heart and soul on this place with little to no gain, and generally don't care much about it."

  "Plus you're a god's ambassador in the temple that was handpicked by the statue of the god of war!

  The Temple Priest side must be toward you, so you don't have to worry.

  The northern wilderness is one of the few places of freedom in the world for you!

  Because no one can control you, you can be left to do whatever you want!"

  Shelia said with a smile.

Carlos' eyes gradually lit up at the sound!

  "Doesn't anyone care?

  ! Wouldn't that be awesome!"

  Carlos said in surprise.

  "It's not that I can't care, it's that I don't want to care, whatever you think, there won't be any resistance here anyway is all!"

  Shelia said somewhat helplessly.

  When Shelia said this, Carlos was already in a state of imagination, fantasizing about how he would build a fantastic city-state in the northern wilderness . "The crystal beasts have rested and are now ready to depart, want to go?"

  At that moment Hoffman came by at an inopportune moment, interrupting Carlos' daydream.

  "That depends on what our lord lord wants!"

  Shelia teased.

  Hearing this, Carlos was a little embarrassed, and this tone of Hylia's voice was a little abnormal, so even with Carlos' thick skin, he blushed a little.

  "It's all right, here goes!"

  Carlos said awkwardly.

  "What happened to him?"

  Hoffman said nervously.

  "It's okay, he's thinking about how to be a good lord, he's just a little lost in thought."

  Shelia said with a petulant smile.

  "Then why are you blushing?"

  Hoffman scratched his head in disbelief.

  "Aiya, with also you can't tell, hurry up and get in the car and go."

  Shelia couldn't explain to Hoffman, the simpleton, so she just stopped explaining and returned to the car in three steps after she finished.

  Avril hadn't gotten out of the car since the beginning, and was quiet enough to not even look like a Robert the Rabbit; she was more like a turtle than Carlos, always staying still and wondering what she was thinking.

  "Avril, what are you looking at?"

  Seeing that Avril was out of sorts, Hylia deliberately picked up the conversation and chatted with Avril one way or the other.

  "Hmm?

  I'm not looking at anything."

  Avril froze and said.

  "Still say no, I saw you stay sitting here for half a day, you must have been mesmerized by something good, did you hide it secretly and don't want to show it to me?"

  Shelia said this on purpose, and feigned a hint of anger.

  "Ms. Shelia, I was just thinking, not looking at anything, much less sneaking and hiding!"

  Avril was a little anxious; this feeling of being misunderstood always made people impatient.

  "Okay, okay, I believe you, so what are you thinking?"

  Hylia said with an air of sincerity, saying all of the previous words that way on purpose so that she could just ask this last one in a smooth manner.

  To be honest, Hylia's words were not very clever, anyone with a clear eye could see that it was intentional, and it was just that Avril was deep in it and didn't notice, this was the so-called the authorities are lost, the onlookers are clear.

  Even Hoffman, who was on the sidelines, could see that Shelia didn't mean to blame, Hoffman and Carlos looked at each other and smiled, unspokenly not revealing that perhaps Shelia's method was the most suitable at this time.

  "Women's minds are so complicated, they love to get into all these convoluted things, isn't it good to be direct?"

  Carlos silently spat at Shelia's behavior in his mind; if there was anything wrong with Hoffman, Carlos would have hooked his shoulders and gone up to ask, straight and clear!

  Averill pondered for a long time in the face of Hylia's inquiry before finally voicing the concerns in her mind.

  "The northern wilderness is an extremely dangerous place, when I was a child I heard from my grown-ups that the orc races there were vicious races that ate people without spitting out their bones, it's very scary, I'm worried that we'll be in danger if we go there!"

  Avril said slowly.

  "I thought it was something, just because of this ah, don't worry about it, I'm here, I'm an Order Sacrifice!"

  Carlos patted his chest, trying to prove to Avril that he was capable of protecting them.

  "Sacrifices are all very weak, even if they are of a higher rank, they won't be of much use without an army or magical pets, and we might even have to protect you when the time comes!"

  With a look of disdain, Avril spoke of the sacrifice as nothing.

  "Avril!

  How can you say that!"

  Hylia was visibly upset, she herself was a sacrifice of course she knew the weaknesses of sacrifices, but that didn't negate the role of sacrifices ah!

  "It was."

  Avril whispered, like a small child who knew no wrong despite being reprimanded.

  Shelia wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Carlos.

  Carlos carefully interpreted the meaning of those words of Avril just now, in the end it is a security issue, the northern wilderness for Avril is like a childhood shadow like existence, it is all because those adults love to use this kind of thing to scare small children when they were young, so Avril has a kind of resistance to the northern wilderness.

  Furthermore, it was true that the strength Carlos had demonstrated so far wasn't very strong, and Avril, being observant and mature and steady, would definitely silently make a comparison of strengths, and it was clear that Carlos wasn't strong enough in her mind, or at least nowhere near as strong as those races in the Northern Wastelands!

  Then just bring out the strength you deserve to enhance Avril's sense of security, a team can't afford to not have enough centripetal force and cohesion "I'm not just a priest, but I'm also a magician, not only that, my close combat ability isn't weak either!"

  After saying that, he looked at Hoffman, meaning simply that he wanted Hoffman to help prove it.

  Hoffman sighed, then moved with a bit of a squirm, seemingly reluctant, and after Carlos raised his fist again, Hoffman spoke painfully.

  "I had a private match with Carlos, and I lost miserably on all fronts!"

  No wonder Hoffman didn't want to talk about it, who could say something so disgraceful without a care in the world?

  After Hoffman finished speaking, both Hilia and Avril looked at Carlos in shock, the Bell Bear race is a powerful race ranked in the Orc Empire, among the ordinary races all aspects of the ability belong to the top, Hoffman himself is an outstanding warrior in the Bell Bear race, the combat ability and combat experience is unquestionable.

  And what is Carlos?

  Recognized as the weakest priest in his own strength ah, Hoffman actually couldn't beat Carlos, this completely overturned Shelia and Avril's perception ah!

  "That's nothing."

  Carlos put on a pretense of modesty.

  Afterwards, Carlos casually gestured twice, while his palm condensed thick magical energy, and light blue rays of magical energy mapped inside the car, illuminating everyone's face.

  At this, Shelia was not surprised, but Hoffman and Avril both stared in disbelief, their mouths slightly open in an unbelievable manner!

  "You can gather so much magical energy at once!

  That's at least a magician at the level of Magician!"

  Avril said in surprise.

  "That's a lot!"

  By contrast, Hoffman can't speak in such fine terms, and can only say what he feels most intuitively.
