Draktar has never seen the Delaney city as usual. He is here, so I’m far away. But he told me that my father used to walk in the gleaming streets of Delaney people, ate their food and slept among them. They happily talked that he had seen such a different world, even today, it’s hard to imagine what it was like. Even the land of Cadore is not as strange to me as I heard about Delaney things. Draktar said that what he saw and heard in durotan. Maybe now he lives in this land he named, and he can do it.
Regret taste bitter.
Durotan froze, as if the magic of the ogre was haunting him now. He was very resistant. He stared at his eyes motionless and his mouth was wide open, trying desperately to solve his eyes and see everything.
The city of Delaney is simply spectacular. It is exquisitely embedded in the hillside and is naturally made of stone and metal. In durotan’s view, it is a perfect combination of art. He can’t tell exactly what he saw, but he is sure that it was all this harmony. The hidden spell disappeared, and the back seat city was quiet and magnificent. When he saw it in front of them, he opened his eyes and saw everything. The huge stone steps continued to extend to spherical houses, one of which reminded durotan of snail shells, and the other was alive. Like mushrooms bathed in the afterglow of the sunset, the fresh edges of the stone steps look soft, while those roofs are reflected more smoothly. These strange scenes are even more amazing when combined.
He turned his head to see that Ogram’s face was in awe, and a smile appeared on Lesterland’s blue lips.
Welcome you, Dulong. Tan Ogram Lesterland said that Dulong Tan just came to his senses and clumsily moved forward two steps. Has the paving stone been polished? Is it because of the passage of time or is it handmade by Delaney? durotan said that they can’t go on. Dulong Tan can see that the city is paved on a ridge leading to a curvy building. The stone steps continue to extend. He sees the long streets. The same white stone shop seems to have never been stained with dust, even though the Delaney people have been here for ten generations, and the hunted animals are as long as the orcs. Pila Horn is all gone here. The Delaney people seem to have better transported the gifts of the earth. There are shining gems everywhere, and the light brown metal orcs that durotan has never seen before have always known about metal. They have made the metal durotan have gone hunting with axes and swords, but this.
What is your city made of? Ogram asked. This is the first thing he said since they embarked on this magical journey with the Delaney people.
A lot of things, Lesterland said kindly, they are now entering the city gate, and the residents in the city look at them curiously, but among them there is no hostility. We have not traveled to your world for a long time.
Soon Dulong said that your people came here more than 200 years ago, and we have changed a lot in the past 200 years.
Yes, Lestrange agreed softly. Over the past few days, we have watched the orcs become more and more advanced in strength, skill and talent. You have left a deep impression on us.
Durotan knew it was a compliment, but somehow it stung him, as if the Delaney people thought they had to wait longer than the orcs. The thought was fleeting, which made him ashamed. When he continued to look around, he doubted that it was true. No orc building could be so gorgeous and complicated, but then again, the orcs were not Delaney people, and they would never choose to live like the Delaney people.
For your question, Ogram, when we arrived here, we brought everything. I know that your people built ships to cross the river and lake, and we are also a ship. It can take us through the day. It brought us here. It is made of metal and other things. When we realized that this would be our new home, we unloaded part of the ship to build our building.
That’s the huge soft-colored rotating ripple. It seems to him that copper skin is made of metal. Dulong held his breath.
At his side Ogram frowned.
You’re lying. Metals can’t fly.
If you were an orc, you would definitely yell like this and give Ogram a big blow again and again, but the Delaney giggled.
Of course, people will think so, but if people don’t know in advance, they will probably think that it is impossible to summon elements to defeat ogres
That’s different. Ogram sneered. That’s magic.
Well, it’s also some kind of magic. Lesterland said he made a gesture to him alone. He spoke a few words, and Delaney nodded and ran away quickly
I want you to meet someone who is not too busy, Lestrange said, and then he was silent. He came to Dulong, full of thousands of questions, but afraid to ask, for fear of appearing too stupid. Ogram seemed to have accepted Lestrange’s explanation of magic, but the two young people still looked around curiously.
In the street, they passed many Delaney people from time to time. Once, he saw a girl about the same age as them. She was slender and tall. When Dulong looked her in the eye, she seemed surprised. Then a smile floated around her mouth and she bowed her head shyly.
Durotan felt that he was smiling, too. He asked many children in our camp without thinking. Where are the Delaney children?
We don’t have many children. Lestland said that our people live very long and we don’t often have children.
How long do you live? Ogram asked
Very long life. Lesterland said this. Let’s just say I remember the day we came here.
Ogram stared at Lesterland unabashedly. durotan wanted to poke him in the elbow, but he couldn’t reach it. He suddenly realized that the girl who looked young just now might not be his age. At this time, Lesterland sent the scout back and said something quickly. Lesterland seemed satisfied with the scouts’ return. He turned and smiled at the two orcs.
The man who brought us into this world, our prophet Waylon, will stay here for a few days. I think he will want to meet you. We don’t often have visitors like this. Lesterland smiles even more. I am very happy to tell you that Waylon disagrees with you. He also invites you to spend the evening. You want him to have dinner and sleep in his guest room. This is a very high honor.
Both boys were too shocked to speak. The leader of the Prophet Delaney had dinner together.
Dulong Tan wondered if it would be better if he was beaten flat with an ogre stick.
Lesterland led them through winding streets, hills and mountains. The huge building with square and solid stone steps seemed to crawl endlessly. durotan’s breathing became rapid. He finally reached the top and looked back with interest as he looked at the building in front of him that looked like a snail’s shell.
Dulong Tan Ogram looked back and suddenly Dulong Tan held her breath. The cities of Delaney were completely like jewels embedded in grass. At the end of their exhibition, they were dyed red by the afterglow, and then the afterglow faded. All the cities were bathed in soft purple and gray, and the lights came from each family. At that time, durotan had an illusion that all the stars had fallen to the ground
I don’t mean to brag, but I am really proud of my people and our city. Lestrange said that we have worked hard and we love Delano, and I never thought that it would be strange to have an orc to share our proud destiny.
When he said this, his strong blue face seemed to show a deep, almost ancient sadness. He shook his head, shook his mind and smiled.
Come on, we’ll take care of you.
Dulong Tan Ogram couldn’t speak. Their young minds were firmly attracted by all the sights, sounds and smells in this completely strange place. They quietly walked into the Prophet’s mansion. They were introduced into a decorated and complicated room. This room was really beautiful, but it strangely made them feel limited. The curved wall looked as charming inside, but it seemed as if they were confined in a bowl. They tasted water and changed them into strange clothes. In the center of the room, there was a pot of boiling water steaming.
This water is too hot to drink, and there are too many leaves to soak, said Dulong Tan
This is to take a bath, the Delaney replied.
What is a bath?
Is to wash the dust off your body. Lesterland said Ogram stared at him, but Lesterland seemed serious.
We never do this bathing. Ogram growled.
We swim in the river in summer. Dulong pointed out that maybe this is similar to that.
You don’t have to do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. Lestland said that this bathtub and these food clothes are for you to enjoy. The Prophet Willem hopes to see you in an hour, and I will pick you up then. Do you need anything else?
They shook their heads, Lesterland nodded and retreated to the door. durotan turned to Ogram.
You think we’re not in danger?
Ogram looked at the strange material of the room and the bath water. He said that it just felt like being in a hole, and I stayed in a tent.
Me, too. Dulong walked to the wall and hesitated to reach out and touch the curved wall. It felt cool and smooth. He suddenly realized that he was actually looking forward to it, a warm feeling of life.
Durotan turned and pointed to the bath water. Would you like to try it?
