After two days of deep thought, he began to dig a hole in the house directly to the outside, digging out a small passage, the other end of which was connected to the outside of the house. He lit a fire in the small passage and then lay on top of the passage.
Well... he always felt that a heated bed should not be like this. Although it was a bit weird, it finally gave him a more comfortable way to spend the winter.
Just when the orc was very satisfied with his current living environment, the unspeakable existence watched it all silently, watching him shivering in the cold, watching him try to make something to keep warm, first building a stove, and then trying to make a kang.
He was not able to adapt to the animal shape of the stove, and the kang was not successfully made. He originally thought that he would come to find himself, but after two days, he actually modified it according to the actual situation and barely made something to keep warm.
This is different from what He thought!
Since he arrived on the island, everything has been different from what he imagined, and different from the person he was at the beginning...
Instead of pretending to be obedient and putting food on the table for Him every day, he didn't want to stay and even wanted to say he wanted to leave.
If he hadn't specifically said it before leaving, he almost wouldn't have stopped the man.
Everything is different from the person at the beginning.
And in the current situation, it is obvious that the other party will not beg for mercy and let him into the cave just because he is shivering with cold.
...Why...didn't they follow the script? How could the test continue?
So, a month after the snow fell, He sent a blizzard.
The orc's house...collapsed...
On this island, he can do whatever he wants without being bound by any rules, he thought silently.
Orc: “…”
What to do if your house collapses? Rebuild it, of course.
The orc took a deep breath and resigned himself to rebuilding the house. This time he would build a smaller house so that humans could live in it.
Looking at the busy orcs.
He: “…”
Why aren't you here to plead your case in front of me?! This lousy trial can't go on for even a moment!
The house took shape again. The orc yawned and lit a fire to warm himself. Suddenly, a warm breeze came from behind him. He turned around and saw that it was in the direction of the cave entrance.
The orc was stunned, rubbed his arms for a while, and walked towards the cave entrance. When he got closer, he showed a look of surprise.
The air wall at the entrance of the cave that prevented anyone from entering disappeared, and the warm breath coming from inside made him unable to help but walk to the front of the cave.
When he was only one step away from entering the cave, he stopped and looked up, not knowing who he was looking at.
After a long while, he said, "Thank you."
The cave was deep but not dark. It was filled with glowing minerals and plants. He walked along the passage inside the cave.
After walking for only a hundred meters, the passage ended and we arrived at an extremely tall and spacious cave.
He stared blankly at the scene before him.
A huge rock more than 50 meters high, it looks like a beast-shaped rock roaring to the sky, but it also looks like an ordinary irregular rock.
The huge rock just stood there quietly, yet it made him feel awe from the deepest part of his heart. He didn't turn his head away, nor did he crawl on the ground, daring not to take another look.
He just stood at the entrance of the passage, looking at the huge rock.
The boulder was surrounded by countless milky white mist-like things. Even from a long distance away, he could feel the surging power, a power that he could never reach.
Think of getting...
Once this idea took root, it continued to grow like mushrooms after rain...
Greed and madness surrounded him completely, and his heart was about to be occupied by desire.
He suddenly took a few steps back and returned to the passage. He turned around and stopped looking at the boulder. He supported himself on the mountain wall with his hands and adjusted his breathing.
An unattainable and powerful force that can make people fall at the mere sight of it. Can he control such a terrifying power now?
If you covet power that you cannot control, sooner or later you will be controlled by the power.
He repeated this sentence frantically in his mind.
But his instinctive desire for strength and his reason were pulling at him wildly. He squatted down in pain, covering his head. Just when he couldn't help but bang his head against the mountain wall next to him, trying to knock himself unconscious to get rid of the pain.
Suddenly, a pair of smiling eyes popped into his mind.
"Everyone has weird thoughts, but as long as you can control them, it's fine."
"You must overcome the tribulation well. I and the entire... community are all waiting for you to achieve enlightenment and bring prosperity to the whole family."
"You and...someone?" The orc uttered these words with difficulty, making a sound as if his throat was torn.
No one could answer him, except the huge rock standing there, and he was the only one in the cave.
He squatted there for a long time before he barely stood up by holding the mountain wall and walked out of the cave.
He did not force him to stay, and he walked out of the cave smoothly. The cold wind and the icy snow falling on his body made him much more sober.
He stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the snowy scene outside.
With such a powerful force, it is impossible to say that he does not want to reach that level. The orcs pursue power, it is an instinct and he cannot resist it.
But you must never be seduced by power.
Therefore, it is only possible to reach that level, rather than directly possess that power.
He turned around and took a deep look at the cave, then walked out resolutely. He would not go back in until he found a way to stay sane in the face of that power.
He can't always rely on others to keep him sane.
He looked down at his hands. If he really did that and kept hiding behind others, many people would be disappointed in him. He couldn't resist the temptation on his own.
The days went on as usual. He didn't even go near the cave entrance. He found that although it was so cold that it tortured him, it did not cause any substantial harm to his body.
Knowing that he thought he was almost ready, he approached the cave entrance again. He let his senses catch the temptation emanating from the power of the boulder.
I used those temptations to hone myself little by little, each time trying to go two meters further inside than the last time.
As the orc was tempering his inner self, He gradually appeared more frequently and communicated with him frequently.
He was indeed like a newborn baby. He told him a lot of things about the relationship between the continent and the creatures living on this land.
It turns out that He is this continent.
He went to see the boulder three times throughout the winter. The first time he felt he could resist the temptation, so he went in directly.
But he still ran out in a panic, but this time he did not rely on the memory of the smiling eyes in his mind to maintain his sanity.
The second time, he had already walked two-thirds of the entire passage, so he wanted to go in directly and face the boulder.
