"Raising the horns full of wine, you twisted your waist and danced the colored silk on your sleeves, I stretched out my hand to you with flowers, your silver bell seemed to sing sweetly to my heart, riding the white horse and following the wind on the grassland, your slight smile made me feel like I was drunk" Surrounded by the campfire at night, the young orc of the wolf clan with a sturdy body holding a bull horn full of spirits in his hand, his face flushed, surrounded by a group of equally young friends, shyly but firmly circled around an equally shy fox girl, while raising the horn in his hand, while singing a love song of courtship.

"Oh oh oh", whether it is the group of brothers who are also single behind the male orc, or the group of unmarried girls who are smiling next to the female orc, the two groups of people began to coax at the same time, regardless of men and women, holding hands in a circle, surrounding the two people with red faces, and began to sing and dance indulgently. The young orc girl was shy for a while, and finally took the horn with a red face, raised it and poured it violently, and then stuffed it back into the male orc's hand, which made the orc boy extremely excited, and drank the liquor with his head up in one gulp, screamed, took the girl's hand and blended in with his friends, and soon jumped together.

"Well, this is the covenant of the horns. Compared with the daytime, Lina had changed her demeanor, lying behind Catherine curiously, looking at the group of young people who did not know what troubles and sorrows were, and exclaimed: "This kind of ritual has been mentioned in several books, and today I finally saw it with my own eyes." It is said that the love forged in this way will be blessed by the orc ancestors."

"yes. An unfamiliar voice rang out from the side. Counting the two little undead wrapped in puppet costumes, there were nine people sitting around a campfire. It's a bonfire at the night of the Horse Husbandry Festival. It is said that it is a party, but in fact, there are no ceremonies and activities, that is, everyone gathers in a vast venue. Each occupies the scattered campfires to eat together, and if you are interested, whether you know each other or not, you can sing, dance and drink with the neighbors around you, after all, for orcs, as long as they can sit and eat together, they are good friends. But. The girls of the adventure group are not very accustomed to this custom, and the indulgence and enthusiasm of the two are even more reluctant to have too much contact with unfamiliar people, so everyone just gets together. Watching from a distance as a bystander can be regarded as a unique custom of this foreign land from the side. However, it didn't take long to see it now, and a stranger came to the door.

The people who came were all orcs. But it's not as it seems. It's some young people who like to run around drinking, singing, and making friends, but on the contrary, most of the people who come are orcs who are middle-aged or older. Although the group was older, they were still as lively as young people, shouting and drinking all the way, and a drop of alcohol victims fell along the way.

"yes. "The group of visiting orcs is led by a middle-aged bear man, with his clothes open in the evening breeze. The hairy chest is exposed, but the gestures are full of majesty and momentum. The leader of the bears sat down by the fire. He said in a rough voice: "The souls of the ancestors will always shelter this group of brave children, and these children who dare to love and hate are entitled to happiness." ”

As soon as the bears sat down, a dozen or so people from the crowd who followed him also sat down, and formed a circle along the fire in the center with everyone in the adventuring party. The rest of the young people sat behind the middle-aged man they were following, and they looked like they belonged to a different team. As soon as the bear man raised his hand, someone behind him immediately offered two large wine bowls larger than a human face, the bear man took the wine bowl, slammed it on the ground, picked up a bowl and poured it down in one go, wiped the corners of his mouth roughly, and said loudly: "You are the team of Nelly's adventure group, we have all heard that it was you who solved the big trouble of the ancestral holy mountain of the tribe in the south." Speaking of which, they have come here here to ask for help before, but we are not strong enough to solve it. Although the ancestors of our tribes are enshrined in that holy mountain, they are all the ancestors of the orcs after all, and you have rescued them, and they are the benefactors of all the orcs. Now that you're here, I don't have to say it, I have to treat you well to show my gratitude, or I won't have the face to go and see those compatriots from the south again, come, I'll make this toast first. ”

Catherine finally understood what was going on, sighed helplessly in her heart, and did not shirk it, raised the wine bowl with both hands, raised her head and poured it into her mouth, the crystal wine slid down the corners of her mouth, gathered to the tip of her warm jaw, and fell on the silver-white breastplate drop by drop, making her drink a fusion of softness and sassiness.

The bowl was gone, and Catherine slammed the bowl on the grass and exhaled a cloud of turbid air in her chest. The liquor is strong, and this is one of the three best spirits in the orc steppes, and it is the favorite liquor of the orcs. When the spirits are imported, they are like a piece of ice, the cold liquor takes away all the temperature, making the mouth more sensitive after a short period of numbness, and when it enters the throat, it is like a knife, so that the throat has a hearty comfort in the pain of the knife, and after swallowing it into the stomach, it is like a fire, and the raging flame burns from the lower abdomen to the chest, so that the person who drinks it is full of strength under the stimulation of the flame.

"What a strong wine. Catherine naturally threw away the grace and grace of the nobility, drank it all in one gulp like a hero of the steppe, two crimsons rose on her cheeks, and her eyes shone brightly: "It is the duty of a knight and an adventurer to help others in their difficulties, and there is nothing to praise about." It's enough to have this glass of good wine to show your gratitude. ”

Okay, the good man laughed and applauded, "Over the years, I have seen many human professionals, but this is the first time I have met someone as happy as you, and you friends are worth befriending." Children, sing and dance, and have a good time with these human friends today. ”

"Hey~~ The young people who came over with this group of people jumped up at the same time, and there were young men and women of the human beings who came, under the command of the bear people, they quickly surrounded the periphery, although there was no musical accompaniment, but they still danced the national dance of the orcs, representing the combination of power and beauty, and there was a charm under the reflection of the roaring firelight.

"We, old fellows, are the leaders of these nearby tribes. The bear man pointed to the group of people who were qualified to sit in the first row and said, "When they heard about the heroic deeds of the professionals, they couldn't help but want to come and see it. Hahahaha, there are more people, I hope you don't get offended. Here, another drink. ”

Catherine sat cross-legged on the ground, not at all afraid, and once again she threw her head up, and the liquor disappeared from her throat again. After two glasses of wine, Catherine's eyes became brighter and brighter, and her spirits became better and better. The voice became slightly louder: "This is the first time I have gone deep into the grassland, and I have seen many things that I have never imagined before, and I have also seen the enthusiasm and cheerfulness of the orcs. If we have the opportunity in the future, we will definitely come back and have a few more drinks with everyone. ”

"Well, anytime. As long as I'm alive. The leader of the bears laughed loudly, "As long as we old fellows are alive for a day." There will be the best wine and the most tender food to entertain friends. ”

Amid the laughter, the leader beckoned, and ran far past some of the tribe's inhabitants, carrying large pots of food, quickly filling the adventuring party. Chunks of lamb are boiled and rotten, wafting out the aroma of meat and spices, and colorful wild vegetables are mixed together and sprinkled with bright grease. The thumb-thick gopher loin was roasted brown, and the fine deer neck meat was neatly stacked one by one. The variety of food is exciting, and I just want to eat freely.

"The third cup. The leader raised his glass again, his expression full of joy: "I wish you friends eternal health, and victory and glory will always be with you." ”

"In the custom of the orcs, the leader will toast three bowls of spirits to distinguished guests from the outside world. In Lina and Vivien's ears, Pannis lowered his voice and explained, "Of course, not all races are as heavy drinkers as orcs, so it is impossible for many distinguished guests to accompany the leader to drink these three bowls of wine, and at this time, it is not rude for guests to drink a little per bowl according to their own amount of wine." But even so, in the minds of these orcs, the more the guests drank three bowls of wine, the more respectful they were to their hosts, and Catherine had drunk the first two bowls, which is why he was so happy. ”

When she drank the first bowl, Catherine's heart was only helpless, and when she drank the second bowl, Catherine suddenly felt that the wine tasted good, it was delicious, and when the third bowl was drunk, Catherine felt that she was getting better and better, and she would not get drunk even if she drank a few more glasses. But unfortunately, when the leaders of the other tribes came up to toast casually, each glass was snatched away by Marcia and Pennis, which made her unhappy for a while.

"Hey, hey, hey, la", the atmosphere around the fire became more and more enthusiastic, and the leaders of the tribe were infected by the atmosphere, and a few of them had already thrown aside the etiquette just now, regardless of the age gap, and joined the dancing group with a roar, writhing their limbs in the firelight, causing the other leaders to laugh for a while. The young men and women dancing around the fire also let go of their restraints, dancing more and more lively, many young orc girls in the process of dancing, twisting their waists, holding the wine bowl, around Pannis to make a variety of provocative movements, from time to time put the wine bowl in their hands to Pannis's mouth to feed him to drink, and even some girls in the eyes of the wine in their mouths, shyly put their mouths in front of Pannis's face, making a gesture to feed Pannis, and some girls writhing around Pannis, constantly stretching out their hands to Pannisy to make an invitation to dance together, for orcs, women to men to give this kind of invitation, that is, men to women hand the same meaning of horns。

Pannis's eyes had already turned into a heart shape with a smile, and he was dazzled by the orc beauties of various races in front of him, and saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth that couldn't close his smile, and he couldn't help but want to shout: "This is simply the happiest place." ”

When Pannis wanted to grab the hand handed by the orc girl, an iron fist fell from the sky, smashed on the top of his head and smashed him to the ground, Catherine's face was red, her eyes were misty, and the breath she spit out was still with the aroma of alcohol, and she grabbed him by the collar and grabbed Pannis in front of him and said angrily: "You unproductive fellow, you can't walk when you see a beautiful woman, don't you want to jump?" Okay, let's jump." ”

As he spoke, he staggered by Pannis's collar and dragged him into the dancing crowd.

"Oh my God, the eldest sister is drunk. Several ladies watched Catherine's movements with a playful look, and suddenly their hearts moved, and they looked at each other: "Otherwise"

The next moment, everyone poured into the venue and joined the carnival dance procession.
