Following the path along the river, Aitest led Sun Fei and the others, taking a shortcut in the direction they were heading.
Various buildings stand along the roadside.
"Hahaha, two of a kind, I won!"
"Damn it, you clearly had three or four of a kind, and you dared to bluff? You're asking for death!"
"Enough nonsense, I won! Pay up, or I'll kill you!"
As they passed a two-story attic, a Minotaur orc's ecstatic voice came from inside, followed by various noises and the crackling sound of some kind of small cube being rubbed. It almost startled Sun Fei so much that he sat down on the riverbank.
I mowed the Mowing Grass.
Are you kidding me?
These orcs... they're actually playing mahjong! They really are playing mahjong!
"Haha, this stuff is really fun. Honestly, you absolutely can't predict the charm of those little cubes..."
Seeing Sun Fei's shocked expression, Artest Human Clan said with immense pride, "Due to the lack of entertainment in the Land of Exile, many orc races had nothing to do at night and devoted most of their energy to reproduction. This led to a period of rapid population growth, which was originally a good thing, as numbers symbolize a race's prosperity. However, problems arose because the Land of Exile's resources were extremely limited and couldn't support so many orcs simultaneously. This resulted in famines and even cannibalism, a truly tragic situation. Later, Ernst Majesty Ernst proposed a 'family planning' initiative. To fundamentally solve the Orc Clan's entertainment problem, he invented many novel gadgets, such as this little thing called 'Mahjong,' and of course, basketball, football, volleyball..."
At this point, Sun Fei was speechless with frustration. (www)
He is now almost 100% certain.
This so-called Orc Clan pope Ernst is definitely a time traveler.
Otherwise, even if a native Fox orc is truly the smartest person in the world, there would be absolutely no way that so many coincidences could lead to the creation of so many things that only exist in his past life's memories.
Sun Fei was now eager to see this orc pope.
This feeling is like a lonely traveler adrift in a foreign land finally meeting a fellow countryman; there is an irresistible sense of warmth and a desire to chat.
Along the way, we passed many totem poles.
These pillars are likely carved and stacked from some kind of extremely hard Rock. The pillars are engraved with many strange patterns and designs, which can attract the sparse energy between heaven and earth and continuously release light elements into the entire city, maintaining the environment and climate of the city, which is much better than outside. They also have some kind of guarding and defensive function, similar to the magic towers of human cities.
This must be the secret of the Orc Clan Totem Power.
Amidst the rambling, self-aggrandizing pronouncements of the Pig-Headed Human Clan chieftain, the group rode their mounts for over half an hour until they arrived at the edge of a vast bluestone plaza.
"We're here. This is the place," Artest said.
"Ah!" Sun Fei and the others were all greatly surprised.
They had assumed that since the Beast God Temple and Pope Ernst held such a high position and prestige among the Behemoth Beastmen, the temple must be the most magnificent and imposing building in the entire region. However, the barren plaza before them was far from the scene they had imagined: temples standing side by side, statues of gods towering, priests coming and going, and elite orc soldiers patrolling back and forth.
The incomparable Beast God Temple was actually just a large square with dozens of tents set up.
Artest, that pig, seemed to have anticipated everyone's reaction. He laughed heartily and pointed to a large but somewhat dilapidated fur tent at the back of the square, saying, "That's the residence of His Pope Ernst. Right now, the heads of the Ten Royal Clans, along with the priests and shamans of the Beast God Temple, are waiting for you all. Please..."
After saying that, he led the group away first.
They hadn't gone far when they saw High Priest Nash of Fox with a smile on his face, waiting at the edge of the square. Upon seeing Sun Fei and the others arrive, he quickly greeted them.
Judging from Nash's smiling face, things should be going very smoothly.
"Although the Ten Royal Clans still have reservations about forming an alliance with Chambord City, His Ernst seems very interested in Your Majesty after hearing our report. Although it hasn't been finalized, it shouldn't be too difficult."
Nash whispered in Sun Fei's ear.
Sun Fei nodded.
This reaction was within King Majesty's expectations.
If that legendary orc pope was indeed a time traveler, then after hearing about the various events in Chambord City, he would definitely be interested in me.
Sun Fei looked around.
There weren't many orcs on this plaza, but in the distance were some orc soldiers with extremely strong individual strength, at least at the Moon Class or higher. Judging from their appearance, they should be the private soldiers of the Ten Royal Clans, presumably the guard teams of the various clan leaders attending the meeting.
The square covers an area of four or five kilometers in circumference. Apart from hundreds of totem poles about twenty meters tall, there are only more than twenty dilapidated tents covered with patches. The figures of some priests wearing leather robes can be vaguely seen.
" The Beast God Temple is really thrifty," Sun Fei remarked.
High Priest Fox immediately replied with reverence, "These are all His Majesty Ernst's decrees. His Majesty has always been averse to extravagance and waste. Originally, the Ten Royal Clans planned to build a massive Beast God Temple and Papal Palace in City of Behemoths, but this was canceled due to His Majesty Ernst's strong opposition. The saved resources were used to build public toilets, irrigation canals, academies, and sports fields in dozens of giant cities. His Majesty Ernst said that the Beast God Temple's duty is to protect its people. Priests and shamans should not be enshrined in high halls, but should go to the countryside to receive re-education from the poor and lower-class orc races, bringing the glory of the Beast God Rexxar to every orc race. Therefore, Teleport tents are the best residence for the Beast God Temple and its priests and shamans. Even His Majesty Ernst himself stays in different orc giant cities every month of the year, sparing no effort to expend Totem Power to heal the orcs, cure their illnesses, and ward off disasters. Even the Dark Iron race receives his meticulous protection."
Along the way, Sun Fei and the others had heard too many stories about Ernst from Pighead Artest, but hearing them now, they still couldn't help but feel respect for this orc pope.
"If that's really the case, then Pope Ernst is definitely a saint comparable to His Alexander." Every expert in Chambord City thought this, and they all held this legendary Fox orc in high esteem.
"Arrive."
"We've arrived at a tent made of worn-out fur and dry poplar wood," said High Priest Fox.
Just then, from the opposite side, a dozen or so powerful orcs of different races emerged from the tent. Their expressions were wary, and their tall, sturdy bodies, like city walls, blocked Sun Fei and his companions.
