Chapter 101: Chapter 101, Eating Together_l
Translator: 549690339
The brewing barrels started their real countdown.
It’s a foolproof operation, anyone with a hand could brew fruit wine.
There were still too troll brewing barrels left in the warehouse. Opening a tavern with them would certainly be profitable.
The drinks sold at Manim Tavern were not cheap.
If he opened his own, with lower prices and no production difficulties, it would be a no-brainer.
By just adding some water and fruits, it could automatically transform. It felt like finding free money!
Once there were more residents in his territory, or it had been opened to outsiders.
He must open a tavern, with a few bunny girl waitresses, the business would surely boom.
Wait a minute!
Orcs have a different aesthetic. In an orc tavern, bunny girls would not satisfy their aesthetic preferences.
Bunny girls might be better suited for human males.
At this moment, a bunny girl walked over, hanging her head and said softly, “Master, it’s time to eat.”
“Mm.” Fang Hao responded and followed her out of the room.
Once outside, all the Rabbitmen and Pigmen were waiting for Fang Hao’s arrival, with only Anjia sitting there, legs crossed.
When Fang Hao approached, they rose to their feet.
“Master.”
“Lord.”
There were more people dining today, new Rabbitmen, Anjia, and the Pigmen who went to the market with them.
Although the dining hall had been greatly expanded, it was still hard to accommodate so many people for a communal meal.
So, a simple dining table was set up in the open space outside the lord’s hall, where everyone could eat together.
“Alright, everyone sit down.”
Everyone took their seats and the prepared dinner was served at this time.
Roast meat, steamed fish, cold cuts, salad, vegetable soup……….. and so on.
A sumptuous dinner filled the long table.
Whether they were new Rabbitmen or Pigmen from the village, they rarely saw such abundant meals.
For a moment, they stared at the meal, their mouths watering.
“Cough cough! I have a few words to say.” Fang Hao stood up, and the hall instantly quieted down.
“Firstly, welcome the addition of the bunny ladies. You can live here with peace of mind. The territory will provide you with food, shelter, and protection. Tomorrow, I will assign you appropriate work. If you can do it, do it. If you can’t, learn to do it.”
“The Pigmen worked hard today. Everyone, eat and drink freely, the territory has plenty of food. Now, let’s enjoy our meal.”
Fang Hao finished speaking, then sat down again.
“Thank you, Lord.” Everyone thanked him and began to eat.
Fang Hao saw that the time was almost up and the fruit wine in the brewing barrels should have been processed.
So he arranged for people to serve the fruit wine to everyone.
They chatted while drinking.
[Nancy of the Rabbitmen Clan’s loyalty to you has increased by 10 points, current loyalty is 80.]
[Mami of the Rabbitmen Clan’s loyalty to you has increased by 10 points, current loyalty is 75.]
[Rabbit girl… your loyalty to her has increased by 5 points, current loyalty is 70.]
One prompt after another appeared, and the loyalty level increased quickly.
The Rabbitmen girls were constantly stuffing their faces with food.
Their faces could hardly conceal their happiness and excitement.
They had become slaves and ate sticky food every day. The slavemasters, fearing they might run away, even reduced the amount of food, leaving them just enough to avoid starvation.
But today, not only did they get their own rooms and no longer have to live in cages.
They were also eating such a sumptuous meal.
All the Rabbitmen had changed their hearts. They went from being afraid of Fang Hao to being glad they were bought by him.
After dinner, the Pigmen drove back to the Pigmen Village.
The Rabbitmen did not disperse either. They gathered together and chattered excitedly.
The next day, early morning.
Fang Hao suddenly opened his eyes, his forehead covered in sweat.
In his dream, he had returned to his original world, and his colleague had stabbed him several times in the chest.
This tension, this pain, felt so real.
It was so real that he could still feel the pressure on his chest even after waking up.
Fang Hao subconsciously touched his chest, only to feel soft skin.
“Damn it? What the hell is this?”
Fang Hao immediately woke up a bit more, looked down, and saw Anjia sleeping next to him. One of her long beautiful legs unceremoniously lay across his chest, she was sleeping soundly.
Holy shit.
“Ah! Master, you’re awake.” From his other side, Eira’s voice floated over.
He looked abruptly and saw Eira lying on his other side, smiling at him.
“Ah.” Fang Hao answered subconsciously.
He quickly recalled in his head what had happened last night.
After dinner, everyone continued to drink some wine.
When it got late, they all returned to their own rooms to rest.
But now, what was the deal with these two on either side of him?
“Eira, how did you get on my bed?” Fang Hao asked softly.
Eira burrowed her head into Fang Hao’s chest and whispered in his ear, “Perhaps we had too much to drink. Master, are you getting up now?”
Indeed, they drank too much.
Anjia was still sleeping peacefully on the other side, her pose rather wild.
Fang Hao moved her leg off his chest, got up and said, “Yes, I’m getting up. There’s a lot to do today.”
Under Eira’s gentle urge, Fang Hao got dressed.
Ignoring the soundly sleeping Anjia, both he and Eira left the room.
As the door closed, the sleeping Anjia furrowed her brow.
She sank into dreams.
In front of a low wooden house, a little girl with white hair was waiting boredly.
It was Anjia as a child.
The door of the house opened.
An old Orc, draped in a bear-skin cloak, stepped out.
Young Anjia immediately went to meet him, “I heard them say that as long as you don’t want me anymore, you can stay here and retire.”
The old Orc turned around, glancing at the low, beast-skin sealed wooden window behind him.
Defensively, he said, “You must have misheard. Why would they want to keep a old guy like me?”
“I didn’t mishear. You’re already so old, why not stay here? You’re going to die.” Anjia continued.
“I won’t die. Let’s go, I still have many old friends, there will be tribes willing to take us in.” The old Orc touched the bag on his back, boasting, “I had good fortune today, won so much, enough for our journey.”
Anjia’s eyes were immediately drawn to the big bag of food.
“Why don’t you teach me your card playing skills? Then I can also win some good things.”
“Ah, an Orc tribe may not suit you. When you grow up, live in human cities, these skills will get you into trouble,” the old Orc said.
Following behind the old orc, Anjia asked, “Why do I have to live with humans, just because I don’t have hair on my face? Among the other children of my age, I’m the strongest.”
“You can try to make friends with them, not every problem needs to be solved with fists.”
“Why do you always change? Didn’t you say girls are powerful, less likely to get bullied!”
“That depends on the situation, fists will only make things worse.”
The old and young figure slowly disappeared into the distance while having their conversation.
Five years later.
Anjia, fifteen years old, a Level 10 warrior.
The old Orc had aged. His body was no longer strong, the skin piled up like old tree bark, as if only bones remained beneath the skin.
He was dying, his eyes could barely open and he could no longer walk.
Anjia, carrying the aged Orc, had crossed the forest and rivers to reach the nearest Orc city.
She planned to use the method that the old orc had discussed to extend his life.
Arriving at the city, the guards scrutinized Anjia and the old Orc on her back.
“What do you want?”
“I want to enter the city and use the ‘Merit Training Ground’ to extend his life. Please let me in.” Still carrying the Orc, Anjia bowed to the guards.
“Go to the training ground to extend his life? You must be sick. Get lost, you can’t just go anywhere.” The guards pushed Anjia away.
Anjia was pushed back several steps, her expression instantly cooled, her right hand reached to her waist and the Tiger’s Claw was drawn.
The guard sneered, “Oh, what, you dare…”
Bang!
Before he could finish his sentence, the orc guard was sent flying like a sack, utterly embarrassed.
The alarm inside the city rang, a large number of orc guards surrounded the two.
The situation had indeed become worse.
“What do you want?” A Orc General walked out, looking at the old and young pair, he sternly asked.
Such a combination, wasn’t likely to cause trouble.
“I want to use the Merit Training Ground. Didn’t you say all Orcs can use it? Why can’t I?” Anjia clenched her fists, asking loudly.
“You’re level 10?” The General took another look at the young girl in front of him.
Anjia did not answer, just coldly stared at him.
The General fell silent for a moment, then waved his hand, “Let them in, all Orcs can use the Merit Training Ground.”
Anjia, carrying the Old Orc, brushed past the General and entered the city.
The old Orc, laying weakly on her back, kept muttering, “Go west, closer to the human city, they’re more likely to accept you. Don’t fight all the time in the future.”
“It’s okay, you’re not going to die, I’m here, you won’t die.”
Before the Merit Training Ground, Anjia put down the old Orc and took out the prepared materials.
A light flashed, Anjia disappeared, the old Orc still sat there, gazing into distance, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Five minutes later.
Blue light soared into the sky above the Training Ground, all the Orcs shouted in surprise and gathered to watch.
They wanted to see who had advanced to become a hero.
When Anjia reappeared, the old Orc had already stopped breathing, but there was a smile on his face.
The next second, the scene instantly shattered.
Whoosh!!
Anjia suddenly awoke from her dream, gasping for breath.
Large tears rolled down her cheeks, blurring her vision.
It was a while before she could stop crying.
“No need to worry anymore, there’s a place that would take me in now, I have a home.”
The sun was shining outside and the Rejuvenation Spring nearby filled the air with a natural fragrance.
Outside the room, the newly joined Rabbitmen had already begun working, cleaning various areas of the territory.
“Master.” The Rabbitmen greeted.
“Mm, good morning.” Fang Hao replied and quickly left.
Only a few young Rabbitmen girls were left behind, looking happy and chatting in low voices.
Upon arriving at the military district, Fireblade was seen arranging Level 2 troops for patrols around the territory.
Seeing Fang Hao coming over, he walked towards him, “Lord, do you have any orders?”
“Not an order, come with me. I’ve received some information, let’s discuss it together,” Fang Hao said.
Nelson was performing a Skeleton hero conversion ceremony at the Viscera Museum, and hadn’t emerged yet.
When there’s an issue, it could only be discussed with Fireblade first.
The two returned to the Lord’s hall, Anjia, looking sleepy, was just coming downstairs.
She didn’t even realize she was coming out of Fang Hao’s room.
“Anjia, you too, come here, let’s discuss this together.” Fang Hao called out to her, stopping her from going wherever she planned to go.
“Oh!” Anjia replied somewhat reluctantly.
Her eyes, however, were rapidly surveying Fireblade, seeming to be quite interested in the bloody long blade in his hand.
The three seated themselves in the hall.
Fang Hao went straight to the point, ”Skullcrusher Tribe, have either of you heard of it?”
Fireblade shook his head, “Never heard, is it an Orc tribe?”
Fireblade’s memories, or his soul had been altered and deleted, all his memories of the Orc tribes were gone.
Only the altered ones, the memories after becoming undead, remained.
“Skullcrusher Tribe? The Skullcrusher Tribe from the Coldwind Mountains?” Anjia suddenly asked in surprise.
Both of them turned their gazes to her in that instant.
It seemed she knew something..
