Chapter 27: Zalaku Travels to London
Zarakul, the son of a strong orc warrior and goblin "Female Doctor", for various reasons, when Zaraku finished his coming-of-age ceremony, he set off alone from the Orc Wasteland to the outside of the Great Thousand Worlds, but not out of a few days, in the flicker of the "good Samaritan", followed him to a hidden port, and got on a slave ship to a certain capital of mankind, but the tragedy is that this slave ship encountered a storm when sailing along the coast, As a result, except for him, who drifted to a mysterious continent not many nautical miles away from the mainland continent, the slaves or crew members of the other ships died in the sea with the destruction of the ship.
It may be that his bad luck has come to an end, after walking on the wasteland of the mysterious continent for a few days, after he has passed through a huge canyon, he came to a dense forest, and at that time he decided that this was a gift from the beast god, because in his native orc wasteland, he had never seen such a rich place, the water here was sweet to drink, the number was full of fruits, and there was still countless game in the forest.
Later, he met a group of half-orcs, they were fighting a group of nezumi who were shorter than them, and the simple Zaraku intervened to stop the bloodshed, and the bravery he showed was recognized by the nezumi and the half-orcs, and the last half-orcs took Zaraku to the wasteland to meet the leader of the group of half-orcs on the grounds that they looked very similar, and later when he met the half-orc leader, the half-orc leader felt that Zaraku was a warrior who could inherit his position, and his limit was approaching, So he asked Zalaku to stay and lead this orc tribe and died within a few days, and because of Zaraku's bravery, plus he was smarter than all the orcs in the tribe in some ways (that is, it was more simple and easy to deceive), so the orcs in the tribe also asked Zaraku to stay and lead them, and finally Zaraku agreed.
In the next few years, with the help of the food provided by the friendly army of the ratmen in the dense forests of the New Delhi Peninsula, Zaraku led his half-orc warriors to defeat one half-orc tribe after another, and let them call Zaraku the big leader of the half-orcs of the wasteland. However, just as he was about to fight another orc tribe with three subservient tribes, a scarred nezumi friend suddenly approached him and choked his breath after telling him that the nezumi had been slaughtered by humans.
And the angry Zalaku immediately asked his half-orcs to stop fighting with the half-orcs of that tribe, and turned around to kill the New Delhi Peninsula, but because he forgot how to go, he was delayed for more than 2 months before coming to Nottingham.
Zaraku, who woke up after being captured, didn't react very violently, because all orc races on the battlefield recognize the principle that the winner is the king and the loser is the loser, since he failed, then he should be a prisoner of war, and compared to being captured by the orcs, Zaraku prefers to be captured by humans, because when he was a child, he heard his father who was a mercenary on the human side say that orcs will eat captives, while humans will not, not only that, if you listen to humans and do their assigned tasks, not only will there be something to eat, There are also things to wear, and if you fight hard enough, you can still be the guard of those human beings and enjoy the life of human beings. So although he is 23 years old, he is still a blank slate in terms of social experience, and he is not depressed after being captured, but is very excited, and begins to look forward to his own future, and even he has seen that his own future life can live like those rumored human nobles, steak and red wine...................
But this was only the beginning, when Zaraku arrived at the farmland outside London, the orcs he had escorted back were all stunned, because in front of their eyes were golden waves of wheat! Although the orcs had never seen these golden wheat, the smell of wheat wafting from the waves of wheat blown by the sea breeze irritated the heads of these orcs, telling them that all the golden yellow was food! Not to mention Zalaku, a strong orc who had the privilege of seeing a wheat field, he was far more shocked than the orcs present. Because in his memory, there was no wheat field on the road he traveled with the "good Samaritan" that could compare the size, aroma, and yield of the wheat field here, and Zalaku had just been in the process of moving forward, he once bent down and picked up an ear of wheat and put it in his mouth, the taste! It was countless times better than the ears of wheat he had eaten before, no, those ears of wheat were as unpalatable as garbage compared to the ears of wheat that had become them.
Then, when Zaraku was shaken several times by the cattle pastures, vegetable gardens, and sheepfolds he passed by on the way, his jaw finally dislocated after seeing the walls of the city of London, and then he suddenly remembered that he had to avenge his nezumi friend and offend a lord who owned such a magnificent city, Zalaku suddenly felt so stupid and naïve for the first time.
And in the next few days, Zaraku felt that maybe because he was the leader of the orcs, these humans did not lock themselves in the barracks outside the city like other orcs, but took themselves around the city every day, and this was in line with Zaraku's idea, although they had to wear chains according to the requirements of these humans, but it didn't matter.
After more than three days of wandering, the strong orc was fascinated by all things in the city of London, from the thriving markets to the garbage bins on the side of the streets, all of which were new in front of Zaraku's eyes. I remember one time in order to see what was in the garbage can, Zalaku climbed in himself, and then when he climbed out, when the onlookers all looked at the half-orc form of the strong orc Ha Lu Ha Da Lu and smiled, this stupid to a certain extent Zalaku also laughed with him. However, it was not until later that General Zalaku did not regret this, according to his words, although he was stupid at the time, but it was worth it to take a bath in exchange for a bucket of fragrant water once.
"Zaraku?" As Zalaku was "studying" how the stones were put together on the walls of the city of London, a middle-aged man in a white robe came up to him with a piece of parchment in his hand and spoke in fluent beast language.
"Huh? I am! Zaraku, who reacted, quickly turned around and replied.
“………… It's a loyal vicious dog. After looking the orc up and down, the middle-aged man muttered softly in English, and then handed the parchment in his hand to Zalaku and said in the beast language, "Congratulations, Mr. Zaraku, the strong orc, the king wants to see you now." ”
