Chapter 80 Disappointment and Despair
As for why the priest was suddenly polluted, the source actually had something to do with Le Zhi.
The five orcs of the Eagle Tribe conspired to destroy the ladder to Floating Cloud Island. Yan Qiu, who was always prepared for the future, knew about it a long time ago. He had planned to send a few skilled vanguards to deal with them.
I never imagined that the little princess was so playful that she would run to the lower city to join in the fun while living well in the upper city.
After knowing that the little princess was in danger, he did not bother to deal with the affairs of the main hall. He flew into the clouds in the form of a beast to rescue her.
No one had ever seen his beast form, or rather, no living person had ever seen it.
The 鸩鸟 is a powerful and lonely creature throughout its life. There are only males in its clan. When they are forced into passionate love, they will give birth to children with unknown females and then fly away.
It's not because the Zhen people are cold-blooded, but because they are burdened with a huge disaster. They are regarded as respected heroes by birds and beasts, but they are also regarded as ugly and hideous evil creatures by birds and beasts.
The 鸩 bird is poisonous and can fly. Its eyes are the only switch that can control its perception of external things, and are also the source of its poison.
Only when its eyes are fully open can the bird fully perceive the world.
As long as they don't open their eyes, they will lose their five senses, and the corresponding vision, hearing, smell, taste and touch will no longer exist.
Only when squinting can they obtain a small amount of vision. The Zinnia tribe will watch people's mouth shapes to obtain information about what other orcs are saying.
The poison has a unique effect, which is hallucination.
It is a chronic poison that will not kill people in a short period of time, and can be cured by the poison feather.
If you are exposed to it for a long time, it will be the same as eating arsenic directly.
You will find happiness in your happiest dreams, and then leave forever.
Therefore, the 鸩鸟 is a disaster. They are born and die alone. No one will form a partner with them, and no one will always be with them. No matter how perfect and happy the life is, it is just a flash of fireworks in front of the 鸩鸟.
They know their place, just sit high in the enviable palace and don't try to break the balance.
Once it encounters something that attracts the 鸩鸟, it will be unable to protect itself and may even hurt the target.
The 鸩 bird is an unfortunate species, a humble being that constantly wanders in disappointment and despair.
Even if you are not liked, you must remain elegant; even if you are not admired, you must become strong; even if you are not understood, you must accept the reality. This is your destiny.
The same is true for High Priest Yan Qiu.
When he saw the little princess being bitten by the eagle beast, he was furious. He didn't even dare to pluck Le Zhi's hair, so why should he let her be ruined by this group of despicable orcs?
The priest was enraged and used his ability to split. The origin of the poisonous bird's power was special, and its mental strength was extremely unstable when its emotions were shaken.
That’s why it was polluted later. Since the five senses of the 鸩 tribe are weak, they have retained a little bit of rationality...
Priest's Hall
On the soft bed, there was a plush black ball curled up, lying motionless and looking very well-behaved.
This was already the second night that Le Zhi had fallen asleep.
The priest placed it in his usual resting place and took good care of it. The man would not sleep with the black cat at night, but just added a chair and sat beside the bed, watching it secretly.
Yan Qiu likes Xiao Lezhi, poor him, he likes her so much that he is crazy about her but doesn't dare to try to get close to her again.
He didn't dare to show his love openly, as it was highly poisonous and even more of a disaster.
The high priest felt lost, for he knew his fate and duty well; he was destined to live a lonely life with no senses.
But he happened to see the most dazzling fireworks and was reluctant to leave.
From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.
After seeing beautiful things, how could you be willing to go back to the dilapidated times?
Yan Qiu wanted to be selfish, but didn't want to harm Le Zhi.
The man who had been sitting in the night for a long time finally let out a sigh. Yan Qiu secretly felt lucky that he could still keep the little princess for a while, and he would cherish her well...
Le Zhi slept for four days in a row. He no longer felt uncomfortable, but he was hungry.
The girl straightened up by holding onto the bed, rubbed her blurry eyes, and subconsciously sniffed the air.
"This smell doesn't seem to be my place."
The man who was sitting properly beside the bed froze for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.
Yan Qiu said softly: "This is my bedroom. The little princess slept for four days and three nights. I was waiting so hard."
Le Zhi had an awkward smile on his face. He scratched his head sheepishly, and his body made gurgling sounds at inappropriate times.
Gu——————
"Hey, I'm hungry. How about we eat something first? Then we can make a plan?"
The priest's head was full of thoughts, but his face remained calm. He was truly a man of great concentration.
The man got up and found a lot of food in his room, from nuts to dried meat, and some ripe crisp dates.
Le Zhi ate with big mouthfuls, secretly sizing up the priest with his emerald eyes, and said, "I hope you can keep the matter of appeasement a secret for me."
The man nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "As I should, I will not reveal a single word about this matter to anyone else. God of Beasts, I will take this as my bond."
Le Zhi bit off a little bit of meat residue with great effort, and took a few more bites without giving up, and finally got a large piece of meat.
"Okay, okay, you've already signed the contract, I trust you."
The priest took out two clean handkerchiefs and folded them in front of Le Zhi. The gold rings on his body jingled, and Le Zhi was distracted for a moment.
Yan Qiu smiled, and her soft whispers were particularly sweet.
"What kind of orc do you think I am, little princess? Do you find me annoying?"
Le Zhi held half a crisp date in her cheek. She looked at the priest suspiciously and thought for a long time before she said, "Are you bored? I felt a little when we first met, but I don't feel that way after getting along for a long time. As for what the priest wants me to comment on, it's a bit difficult to do."
The girl said in confusion, "My brothers are not good beasts because they burn, kill and plunder. I will not be a good person if I live with them. I have seen too few beastmen to judge the behavior of the priests."
The white fingers twisted the handkerchief and wiped the date residue from the corners of the mouth.
She said to the man with a smile on her face, "I think the priest is a very strange orc. Although he is both good and evil, he treats me well. I have heard about the curse of the rift before, and I always thought you were a dangerous existence. Now I trust my own judgment more..."
The priest pursed his lips and asked curiously, "Awkward person?"
Le Zhi refused to say anything. She was at a loss for words and too lazy to explain to the old man.
The girl quickly got out of bed and turned into a black cat on the ground. Her emerald eyes were bright. She said slowly, "Priest, can you put me in your sleeve for a while? I have wanted to do this for a long time. The golden ring in my dream is so familiar."
The man leaned over and stretched out his big hand towards the black cat, with the gap at his cuffs revealed to Le Zhi.
Yan Qiu's face flushed. How could she dare to refuse the little princess's request? If she saw the golden ring in her dream, then she must have appeared in Le Zhi's dream...
The black cat crawled into the sleeve of the priest without thinking, and its soft and smooth fur caused a tremor.
Itchy...
I wonder what the little princess dreamed about?
Yan Qiu was no longer curious about what kind of person he was in Le Zhi's eyes. He would rather appear in Le Zhi's dreams and greedily demand endless pleasure from the little princess.
Le Zhi's appearance had changed a lot when she woke up. Perhaps the power of comfort was too great. The youthfulness between the girl's eyebrows and eyes had faded, and she showed signs of beginning to mature.
The breath of life is becoming stronger and stronger, and she is about to bloom into a unique bud for anyone to pick.
