Chapter 13:

"Important? What is that?" Claire asked curiously.
The patriarch was silent for a moment: "... is a treasure given to us by Lord Beast God. In the early years, we did not have an absolute advantage in the confrontation with the beast. Lord Beast God gave us the treasure, so the beast had spirit. Force, the original force in the orc body is also excited. It can be said that it is because of that thing that our tribe will have such powerful power. "
"But Panke said that it has been difficult to find qualified Asian orcs and orcs in recent years. Is it because of this reason ..." Panker in Claire's mouth was the old Asian orc who first answered her doubts.
"I don't know if the tribe's decline should be blamed on our failure to protect the beast God's gift from us. All I know is that since Jem's appeared with the guards of Florville City, our tribe fell into An unprecedented disaster. "He thought of the tragic death of his people, the grief and resentment of his father before his death, and the hands on the table were so tight that his fingers fell into the flesh:" I won't let that go Guys, absolutely not! "
"Although Jem can't fight well, he has to admit that he is too cunning. Every time I thought I could catch him and kill him, he always managed to slip away from me. More Besides, he and my good uncle Serant are the backers. According to the current situation of the orc tribe, it is not easy for you to get revenge from Jem. "
"Even if it isn't easy, I will do it! As the culprit who killed so many of us, Jem must use his blood to give us an explanation!" The patriarch looked at Pascal with a bad look: "Still, As the nephew of the Celeste Lord, are you going to stop me? "
"Hey, do n’t get me wrong. Celant and I are not my uncles and nephews. On the contrary, he is my enemy. He took away my place as the owner of the city, destroyed my elemental power, and forced me Deported from the city of Florville, after that, he still was not assured of my existence, and sent out several times to hunt me down. There was already a situation between him and me without him and me without him. If I was misunderstood to be with him. I really hurt my mind. "
Claire nodded aside: "Yes, I said before, we are here now because of the ambush of the Celeste Lord. Therefore, Lord Pascal cannot possibly go all the way with the Lord."
Hearing Claire's help, the patriarch's face did not know what to do, it was a bit bad, and his expression changed so clearly that Claire wondered if he had accidentally said something wrong, and no longer wondering Speak up.
"How can I be sure whether you're saying true or false?"
Pascal spread his hand: "Whether you believe it or not. But let me remind you, we ca n’t be sure whether you are saying true or false-you have no way to prove to us, so I think we are in this matter draw."
"Should you prove to me your sincerity at such times?"
"Sincerity, sincerity ... Oh, from the point of view, we have common enemies. We can form allies against Celeste and Jem together, and I can regain my position as Lord, and you can report to you. Revenge, by the way, to retrieve your lost clan treasures-I don't think there is anything more to prove my sincerity. "
"I'm not sure if our tribe will become an ally with your people, will we be hindered." The patriarch's eyes looked at Pascal very disgusted.
Claire thought that this guy always had some inexplicable hostility towards people from the outside world, just like Master Pascal now, just like himself. It's really hard to be a member of the orc tribe, and he must endure such a weird patriarch.
Facing the question of the patriarch, Pascal countered politely: "Yes, yes, you reminded me. From the performance of the so-called warriors in your community just now, I'm afraid I can't expect too much from you. "
"You ..." The patriarch narrowed his eyes, but didn't know how to refute. After all, just now so many of them came forward to deal with the person in front of them, but all of them turned out to be true.
But when Pascal faced the person he didn't like, he didn't mind pinpointing the opponent's sore point, and now the patriarch tasted the pain of being caught by him.
"Well, at this point, I don't want to argue with you for these meaningless things." Pascal, after taking all the lip service, pretended to be generous to the patriarch: "I don't know why you treat me Have such a big hostility-after I explained to you the hostile relationship between me and Celant. I just want to remind you that whether you or me want to deal with Celant and Jem separately Great difficulties, but this is something that both of us must do. In that case, why do we struggle with the details? Can we be worse than working alone? "
Pascal said so, it seems that the one who made trouble and made no mistakes has become the patriarch ... Although this is a fact, no one likes to listen to this fact.
The patriarch kept his face somber and looked very unsightly, but from his expression, Pascal knew that he had heard what he had just said.
"I agree for the time being." The patriarch was finally relieved, and Pascal, who had been premeditated, immediately climbed up the steps: "In this case, it is time for you to show your sincerity as an ally. As Our allies, don't you mind doing us a favor and send me and Claire and Gera out? You know, we also need to return to the territory to prepare forces. "
Patriarch's cold eyes glanced at Pascal: "I haven't finished my words yet. Although I have promised to ally with you for a while, I haven't fully believed in your character as an ally. Therefore, in your true being with me and the tribe Until the wise men and elders approve, you ca n’t leave our tribe, you must stay here for our observation.
His eyes flashed again the thick smile when Jem was still in the tribe. And toughened again: "I will never let you leave here until I confirm that you are trustworthy."
"It sounds a little unfair to us. From the beginning of the negotiations, you have been asking us. I think we are equal, not affiliated."
"Yes, you're right. But I don't trust you. I won't trust the tribe's safety to people of unknown character. We have already suffered such losses!" The patriarch seemed to have expected the Pascal society long ago. In this way, he took the topic of Pascal without hesitation: "Of course, you can think from another angle. During your stay, you can also observe the people in our tribe. This inspection is Mutually, not only we need you, you also need them. "
Pascal frowned, but was unable to say anything, and he could understand the concerns of the isolated tribe. If he wants to alliance with this tribe, he must worry about their mood and make some compromises and concessions. Although this may not be fair to them, what can be done?
After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Pascal nodded to the patriarch.
Finally pulled back from Pascal, the patriarch smiled slightly: "I'm glad, it seems we have reached a consensus on this point."
"I agree that we observe both sides, but even if we observe it, we have to set a deadline? We are not here and cannot live here for long."
"How about ten years? Ten years is enough for us to have a deep understanding of each other." The patriarch said without hesitation.
"Oh, good, so in this decade, all we have to do is observe each other, don't we need to think about revenge on Celent, right?" Although he is now an ally with the patriarch, it is just like the patriarch Just as he was guarded, he has no liking for the patriarch, so his tone is quite ironic: "Don't you think that this time you set seems too insincere? If you stay here for a long time and don't go back, I You wo n’t be able to get their latest news from Cerant, and my strength may change.

"Master Pascal, don't tell him! I think he's a bit abnormal today, and he's deliberately opposing us! Let's go to the wise or the elders, they can do the things in the tribe!" Claire He pulled Pascal and wanted to leave without leaving a look to the patriarch: "I don't understand why he can be willful like this, waywardly taken for granted! I don't want to endure his waywardness anymore, not at all!"
Pascal looked at the patriarch's face, and had something in mind, calmly saying, "You're right, I thought that I could sit in the position of patriarch at a young age. It should be a wise and visionary I did n’t expect that the patriarch of the orc tribe really let me down. Let ’s go and talk to someone who can make sense.

"Since ten years are not enough, then five years." The patriarch stared at Claire's back firmly. "How about this time?"
"Are you bargaining with us? Do you think we are in a free trade market?" Claire looked at the patriarch incredulously.
The patriarch looked at Claire with a little sullenness: "You said you would set a time, I just said what I think is the right time." It seemed that he felt a little aggrieved.
Claire stroked her forehead and fell down completely.
"If you want to set a limit, I think three months is enough. We don't need to know each other, we just need to see each other clearly." Pascal said politely: "And, just like your orcs have the force, We also have our own power. We cannot exert this power in the orcs' territory, and staying here for a long time will stop us. "
The patriarch frowned. "I've never heard of such a thing." There was a little suspicion in his mind that Pascal deliberately lied to him in order to leave earlier.
"You have never stepped out of orc territory, how much do you know about us?" Pascal countered: "Seriously, I think you should take your tribe out to see, you have been living in Here, I do n’t know anything about the rest of the continent. The news is really too closed. "
In the end, the patriarch made a concession: "Two years, you have to stay here for at least two years, let me see if you are worthy of trust, and then I will decide whether to help you leave. And, you Little Asian Beast needs to learn how to use mental power with us—I guess you did n’t teach these things, did you? For Little Asian Beast, two years of mental power study is necessary, and you should do it for you Little Asian Beast thinks more. "
"If this is necessary for Jella, then I have no objection. But-" Pascal deflected his head too much: "Since just now, I have always wanted to ask, what exactly is Asia Beast?"
"..." Claire gazes at Pascal with a embarrassed smile on his head. "It's like this, Master Pascal, listen to me slowly, don't be anxious ..."
"What did you do that would make me angry?" Pascal raised an eyebrow, and this time Nizi used even the honorific name, and it seemed to be a big basket.
"%%% ### ￥￥￥ & amp; & amp; & amp; & amp; & amp; & amp; ......"
"So, you treat my son as a daughter to raise?" Pascal sighed. "Claire, I trust you so much, only to give you Gera to take care of, but who knows ... you In this way, how can I rest assured that I will give you Jella again? "
"I'm sorry, Master Pascal, it was my fault. I didn't explain it to the orc tribe in time." Claire had felt guilty. When Pascal said so, she immediately acknowledged the mistake.
"I also know that you didn't mean it on purpose, but I'm really afraid that Jella will have a psychological shadow because she was raised as a girl during this time. So, in the recent past, you should not be too close to Jella. "
The solid-eyed girl Claire apologized obediently again, and felt the guilt of her own sinfulness, not knowing that the little man in the heart of Master Pascal, her good father, was already laughing arrogantly.
Let these lionesses always say that he is not a qualified breeder, and that they are always forbidden from approaching Jella's side for various reasons. Now that he has caught Claire's handle, of course he must make good use of it.
The thought of being alone with Gela, ah no, the two lions cultivate father-son relationship, Pascal felt that it seemed that the long two-year contract was not so long. I had known that he should make another order for another year (╯ □ ╰).
"Wait, according to what you mean, Jella isn't an Asian beast?" Looking at the guilt-stricken Claire and the generous Pascal, the patriarch was still confused: "How is this possible? I mean , Jella it obviously has the spiritual power that only Asian beasts can have, and its talent is quite high, I think, this is the most powerful proof! Moreover, it cannot become an beast! "
"I have already told you that the criteria for judging females and males outside and your tribe are different." Pascal did not explain in detail with the patriarch: "Well, the process is not important, what is important is the result, you Just need to know that Gela is my son, a male cub, and it cannot breed offspring. "
"Master Pascal, if we can't go back for two years, Vannes will look for us everywhere because of their fears?" After the parents' sorrows were 'surprisingly', Claire was relaxed. In one breath, I was worried about another problem.
"That's what it said." Pascal thought for a moment, and immediately set his sights on the patriarch.
The patriarch was a little cold by his eyes, which reminded him of the orcs' eyes when they looked at the prey bound by them and unable to resist.
"Master Patriarch, since you have invited us to stay so kindly, we are also not good at rejecting it. However, we must send someone to inform our companions. This is left to the hospitable patriarch. You orcs are best suited to do this It's a errand. It's just such a small thing, I believe you can do it right, patriarch? "
Patriarch: "..." What makes them orcs best suited for this kind of errand? Are they orcs running errands for others? Is he too late to kick him out now? If he unfortunately died prematurely in the past two years, he must have been annoyed by this man!
