Time passed much faster than expected. When they were in the heat of challenging to bend a metal chair leg, they came knocking at the door gently. They jumped up and felt guilty. Ogram just baiwan the chair leg a little, and now the chair is crooked and not straight.
The Prophet is ready to see you, said Lestland.
He is a leader. This is the first thought that came to mind when Dulong Tan prophet Willem looked at each other for a moment.
It’s amazing to see other Delaney people at close range, but it’s another thing to see Willem again. Prophet Delaney is half a head taller than the highest guard in the city, but his body is not as strong as that. In a soft light yellow robe, he looks a little weak and his skin is warm and snowy. His eyes are so deep and wise, shining with bright blue light, surrounded by years. Deep nicks suggest that he is not an ancient man. His silver hair doesn’t hang freely behind him like others, but is braided into complicated braids, exposing his pale head and silver beard hanging down to him like a waterfall.
He is not a long or an ancient man, durotan thought, almost surpassing his time.
He remembered that Lestland had said that he had spent less than 200 summers.
Willem is much older than that.
Welcome you, Willem said in a mellow voice. He stood up and nodded at the same time. His braids danced with him. I’m Willem. I’m glad my people found you today, but I have no doubt that in a few years, you can easily deal with an ogre alone. Even one or two golons are fine
How did durotan feel that he didn’t know his friends? But again, this is definitely not a casual comment. Ogram also felt that he straightened his back and looked straight into Delaney’s eyes.
Waylon waved to the two of them to sit down, and they did. Sitting at such a gorgeous table and such an exquisite chair, durotan wasn’t here, and his hands and feet didn’t know where to put them. When the food arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief. Tabu sheep, waist and legs, roasted white birds, and a round of bread were still on the plate. Piles of vegetables were all things he knew about food. Somehow, he would have been a stranger just now, but what? Delaney people may have completely different architectural lifestyles, but they also rely on this land to give birth to them. The way of cooking is unusual. Orcs cook food or bake it on bonfires. More often, they simply eat it raw. But food is food anyway, and the Delaney people bring these foods delicious.
Willem is a very colorful host. He asked them many questions and listened carefully to their answers. How old do boys have to be to hunt ogres and find partners? What do they eat most and what weapons do they have? Ogram is more enthusiastic about this conversation than durotan. It is commendable that he does not spice up his story at all.
When my father dies, I will inherit his hammer of destruction. Ogram proudly said that it was an ancient hammer that was admired by his father for generations.
It must be stronger in your hands than Ogram Willem said, but I believe it will be many years before you inherit the name of the hammer of destruction
For a moment, the young orc seemed to forget the fact that he couldn’t be crowned with the name of Destroyer until his father died. When he heard this, he immediately became serious. Whelan smiled slightly, which made his smooth and pale face wrinkle with a sad smile.
Tell me about this hammer. It must be a powerful weapon.
Ogram’s face lit up again. It’s especially big. The hammer head is black and hard. The hammer handle is made of wood. The hammer handle has been changed many times over the years, but the hammer head has not been scratched at all. It is called the destruction hammer because it is said that if its owner wants to take it into battle, it will definitely bring destruction to the enemy.
I’m white. Waylon is still smiling
The more Ogram said, the more excited he became, but there was another word. He continued that the hammer of destruction will bring salvation to the orcs and then destruction, and then it will be given to outsiders of the Blackstone clan, and everything will change again, and it will also be used for the cause of justice again.
It’s really a powerful statement. Willem said that he said this, but durotan couldn’t help but tremble. This man was called a prophet by his people. So does he know whether the prophecy of destruction will come true? Can Dulong Tan summon up the courage to ask?
Ogram continued to describe enthusiastically every detail of the hammer of destruction. durotan had seen the hammer. He stopped listening to Ogram’s long speeches and turned his attention to the man in Willem. Why were he so interested in them?
Durotan is a sensitive young man, and he already knows it. He once overheard his parents talking to Kashuer’s mother. His parents said that they were worried that he was too sensitive, but Kashuer’s mother scoffed at it. They also told them to be more careful and let the boy go his own way. Dulong Tan could look at a face and pretend to be interested, even if the other person was a Delaney, but Willen’s shining blue eyes stared at them. Although his kindness was a little strange, he pretended that every question was so sincere. He really wanted to know the orcs and he listened.
If only Mother Kashur could be here instead of me. It suddenly occurred to durotan that she would cherish this opportunity more than I do in Ogram.
Ogram finally finished his destruction hammer. Dulong asked frankly, Can you tell us something about your people, Prophet? We know too little about you. In the past few hours, I have seen that I know more about you than my people have for hundreds of years, I think.
Willem’s bright blue eyes turned to Dulong Tanner’s eyes, which made durotan want to shrink back, not because of fear, but because he had never felt so seen through before.
Delaney people never spare knowledge, young durotan, but I believe you are the first person to ask us. Tell us what you want to know.
Durotan wanted to say everything, but he made it clear that the orcs had never met the Delaney until 200 years ago. Lestland said, you are sitting in a machine that can cross the sky. Let’s talk about this.
Whelan took a sip of the beautiful summer wine and smiled. This should start with the name Delaney. Actually, it is not our real name. It means to be released.
Dulong opened his mouth wide.
We, the rest of the world, had a disagreement. We chose not to sell our people to slaves. So we were released. It took us a long time to find a suitable place to live in. We loved this land. We called it Delano.
Dulong nodded. He once heard the expression Delano. He also said the word very much. He felt that the orcs had never named this land. They called it our world.
This is what we say. We don’t really think that orcs will do it, but that’s what we call the world, and we love Delano deeply. This is a very beautiful world in many worlds we have seen.
Ogram gasped. You’ve seen other worlds.
Indeed, we have met many people.
Like an orc
Willem smiled softly. We have never seen anyone like an orc. He said that his voice was full of respect. You are the only one.
Dulong Tan Ogram looked at each other and straightened up in his chair.
But it did take us a while to find this land, and we finally came here, and we will stay here.
Durotan was eager to ask more questions. How long did they travel? What was their hometown like? What did they want to leave there? But Willem’s untimely face told him something. Although Willem welcomed him, the Delaney leader would not answer this question.
So he changed his mind and asked how they transported weapons and magic. Our magic came to the earth. durotan said that the soul of the shaman ancestors.
We have different sources of magic, said Whelan, but even if I explain, you may not be able to be white
Ogram said angrily that we are not stupid.
Believe me, I didn’t mean that. Willen immediately said that his apology tone was decent and sincere. durotan couldn’t help but admire him again. You people are both very intelligent, and you are both very clever, but I’m not sure I know the exact words in your language. I have no doubt that I can explain it to you if I have enough words.
Even when he said this, he seemed to be trying to choose the words. durotan thought of the hidden magic of a city and the way those soft and strange metal gems were combined. He was right. No orc can solve all this overnight, but Kashuer’s mother may be naturally inspired by this kind of thing, and he could not help but wonder that there are not many two races.
The conversation turned to a more ordinary topic. Waylon preached that in the depths of terokkar forest, a Delaney holy place was called Ogington, where they were buried. Delaney people didn’t cremate but buried their dead in the ground. durotan thought it was really strange, but he didn’t say it so wisely. Temore was the closest city to the dead city, and Waylon came here this time to bury several soldiers killed by ogres, who almost smashed Ogram durotan.
Willem said that he usually lives in the Temple of Carrapo, which is a very beautiful place. There are many Delaney cities, and the largest city is Shatas in the north.
Dinner was finally over, and Veyron sighed, and his eyes still stayed in front of him. Dulong Tan could see that his mind was definitely not there.
I’m afraid I have to go, said Willem. I’m very tired. I have to meditate before going to bed. It’s an honor to meet you, Frostwolf clan, durotan Blackstone clan, Ogram. I hope you can have a good sleep here.
