Chapter 116
===================
The man led the three of them north without any emotion, and didn't even say hello to his companions.
The man had a fake smile on his face the whole time, and Lian Yun felt tired just watching him.
But he was very quiet along the way, which made Lian Yun a little strange.
"……May I have your name?"
The man, who had been a little relaxed, immediately tensed up again: "Me? My name is Bernie."
Lian Yun glanced at him inconspicuously: "You're taking us back to the village so easily?"
Bernie seemed to have known she would ask this question and was obviously prepared.
He stretched out his rough and scarred finger, pointed at his cloudy and yellow eyeball, showing his neat teeth and giving a standard unpleasant smile.
"You don't know, this eye of mine was hit by the village chief."
Lian Yun frowned: "They also beat people?"
Bernie suddenly imitated the behavior of a believer, clasping his hands together with an expression of piety and grievance, but this expression looked strange on his face no matter how he looked at it.
"Oh, my lord! You are so kind that you don't know that this remote place like ours is a hell!"
"Our village chief is our master. If we are not satisfied, he will either beat or scold us. God, I am still lucky! I am not dead!"
He seemed to be talking excitedly, and he rolled up his trouser legs to show them the scars on his calves.
"Look! This is the scar I got when I was a kid!"
Lian Yun felt indescribably strange.
She didn't know how true Bernie's words were.
What's the point of him saying this?
Even if I knew and felt sympathy...what could I do?
Seeing that Lian Yun had no extra expression, Bernie quickly retracted his expression, as if the accusation just now had never happened.
Lina, on the other hand, walked beside Lian Yun with a worried look on her face.
She gently tugged at Lian Yun's sleeve and lowered her voice: "Sister, that village sounds scary..."
Bernie, who was walking in front, moved his ears and actually heard her whisper.
He suddenly turned his head, looking as if he was about to laugh: "Yes! Little Miss! Children should not go!"
He laughed every two words, which looked very strange.
Lian Yun became more and more certain that this man seemed to be mentally unstable.
Lina was startled by his sudden turn and a series of expressions. She frowned and said in a somewhat unhappy voice: “I’m not a child.”
She was afraid that Lian Yun would send her back, so she raised her head and looked at Lian Yun seriously: "Sister, I'm not afraid!"
Lian Yun smiled and nodded.
But I did have other plans in mind.
The few of them walked silently. Lian Yun suddenly stopped, looked up at the sun, opened the map, and confirmed his location in the town.
Bernie noticed that the footsteps behind him had stopped, so he turned around and found the black-haired girl staring at the air in a daze.
She looked at the two people beside her again, who seemed to be used to it, so she squatted down silently, hunched her neck and waited.
"Are you planning to go west?" Lian Yun asked Bernie.
Bernie nodded repeatedly: "The village is just to the west!"
Lian Yun also nodded: "Go east."
Bernie: ? ?
"But, but!" Bernie swallowed, "Going further east is the orcs' territory!"
"I know." Lian Yun said calmly, "It's inconvenient for the elves to leave the forest. I'm going to borrow some people from the orcs."
Bernie was stunned.
Lian Yun paused and said, "Otherwise, do you think we want three of us to take on your entire village?"
Bernie: “…”
He laughed dryly and said, "Your servants are so powerful, I thought you could do it."
Lian Yun said no more and walked towards the northeast.
Bernie was stunned for a moment, and seeing that Lana and Lina followed without objection, he looked around, stomped his feet and followed.
He trotted over to Lian Yun and said with a smile, "Sir, do you know the Orcs?"
"Yes, and he's very familiar with the leader."
Bernie choked and said no more.
As they got closer to the orc tribe, and even saw the leader's thatched hut, Bernie became visibly nervous.
"Sir, you know the destructive power of the orcs, don't you? If they go to the village... God, I wonder what kind of destruction they will cause!"
Lian Yun glanced at him and asked, "Has your village been attacked before?"
Bernie shook his head hard.
"Then you are prejudiced. The orcs are actually very easy to get along with. If your village has no ill will towards me, I can naturally guarantee that they will not do anything to your village."
Lian Yun looked at his blank face, not knowing what he was thinking, and then said, "Don't you hate your village chief very much? How about I help you solve it?"
Bernie's eyes widened as if he had heard something outrageous and said, "No, no, no. If he dies, we will all die."
His expression seemed to return to calm and normal in an instant: "If we want to survive... we can't... let him die."
Lian Yun withdrew his gaze and looked at Lana again.
Soon, the orcs patrolling nearby discovered them.
Because the transactions between Bubu Town and the Orc Tribe in recent days have brought them great development prospects, Lian Yun's reputation has now spread.
Hearing that it was the town lord, the patrol captain came running over.
The orc, who was half a body taller than Lian Yun, showed an expression of great honor: "It's you! We have sent someone to notify the leader, please come with us!"
Lian Yun agreed with a smile, and turned to Bernie who was about to catch up: "You are here."
"I……"
Without waiting for him to say more, Lian Yun led the two men towards the center of the tribe without looking back, leaving the orc patrol to regain their ferocious expressions and seriously stretched out their hands to block Bernie.
Bernie opened his mouth, looking anxious, but said nothing. He could only watch them walk away.
Finally, I walked into the chief's house again. The chief who received the news first had been sitting in the first seat waiting for a long time.
Seeing them coming, Ford's skin turned red with excitement again: "You are back!"
He opened his arms towards Lina, and Lina ran over and hugged him gently: "Uncle Ford."
Ford happily touched Lina's little head: "How is it? Did you see your father?"
The sensible Lina was even afraid that Ford would feel sad for her. The little girl shook her head, but still smiled: "Father went to accompany mother...but I saw my grandmother."
"She is the Queen of Elves." Lina lowered her voice deliberately and mysteriously, and secretly showed the ring on her finger.
Ford asked again in shock.
After receiving the affirmation, he felt relieved as never before.
At least Lina doesn't have to worry about her future safety now.
Both the elves and the orcs will do their utmost to protect her.
Ford stood up and noticed Lian Yun's serious expression. He said in a serious tone, "Someone with strange movements has been appearing around the tribe recently. I asked Iko and Rock to return to town first. I also sent some orcs to help you guard the village. I hope they won't cause you any trouble."
Lian Yun shook his head: "I already know about this."
But she obviously had more to say than that.
Ford remembered that when the patrol team came to report just now, they mentioned that she was accompanied by a strange man.
"Who is that person?"
Lian Yun briefly described what happened in the Elf Forest this morning and mentioned the man's strangeness.
"I want to ask you if you know of any villages west of the tribe?"
When Ford heard this, he immediately thought of something: "Indeed, there is."
"I accidentally ran away a long time ago and saw it once. To be honest, the people there are very strange."
It was clearly an ordinary and poor little village, but they had sent many people to patrol the area.
As soon as they saw him approaching, they immediately retreated back into the village, with no intention of engaging in direct confrontation.
As an orc who was often misunderstood, Ford naturally didn't want to embarrass himself, and never thought of going to see it again.
"In fact, they have teams going to the city in the north every once in a while."
"And every time they deliberately stay away from our tribe."
A hint of dissatisfaction appeared in Ford's eyes.
He took such a long detour that it was as if he was avoiding some infectious plague.
Lian Yun described Bernie's strange behavior, and Ford thought about it and felt that those people behaved very similarly to Bernie.
And Bernie...
Lian Yun glanced at Lanna and slowly said, "Do you know about puppets?"
Ford frowned: "Puppet? Didn't this thing disappear with the second Son of God?"
In that racial war, the Son of God summoned many puppets to die on the battlefield.
"You mean..." Ford suddenly understood the girl's implication.
What she meant was that the people in that village were puppets?
"How is this possible!" Ford opened his eyes wide, his eyes full of disbelief. "If this secret technique reappeared in the world, how could it be used secretly?"
Anyone who possesses secret arts will definitely be hailed as the third Son of God.
The mainland will once again fall into chaos of re-ordering.
Lanna coughed lightly: "Actually, I have summoned a puppet before."
Ford: “!”
Lian Yun blinked, "I have a box. If nothing goes wrong, I can summon puppets without limit."
Ford: “!!”
