Chapter 161 Beast Clan

Chapter 161 Beast Clan

However, he soon realized that he had been worrying too much. His so-called teaching was only at the level of elementary school students teaching kindergarten, and even less. He had a long way to go as a teacher.

He felt he didn't need to put on airs as a teacher and interfere between them, lest he embarrass Alice.

After all, he's a man who's very good at reading people.

Alice has no friends her own age.

Therefore, seeing her get along so well with children of similar age warmed Rudius's heart.

Red-haired girls with cat ears and dog ears.

Just watching them playfully interact and joke around made him, their only playmate, feel incredibly content.

But, Alice.

I suggest you don't just grab them without thinking, otherwise you might cause a misunderstanding like I did.

Look over there, Mr. Jules is watching you.

Seeing how excitedly you hugged his daughter, I wonder what you, as a father, thought?

Rudius chuckled maliciously. He had even prepared himself to play the hero and rescue the damsel in distress, but unfortunately, things didn't go as he had anticipated.

In the days that followed, I often heard Rajirud and Justaff talking; they seemed to get along very well.

Unlike the elder brother Yue, who was only interested in the tribal classics and stories themselves, Mr. Rijkaard often visited the Justaff family, where they would drink and talk about their past experiences.

Although the content is quite gory, the stories themselves are quite interesting.

Perhaps it should be described as two self-proclaimed former biker gang members boasting about how many bad things they did back in the day?

Bored, Rudeus listened to these stories and thus gained a deeper understanding of the orcs.

The term "beast race" is a general term for all races that live in the great forest.

Many of these races crossed the sea to the Demon Continent and were later regarded as demons.

In terms of physical characteristics, their bodies still share certain parts with mammals. In addition, each race seems to possess unique five senses.

The Deludia are a special race among the Orcs.

They are a group responsible for protecting the sacred beasts and maintaining peace throughout the forest.

The Tedrodia tribe, which resembles cats.

The Adrudians, who resemble dogs.

It is said that these two clans are the main lineage, and there are dozens of other sub-clans.

In other words, they are the royal family of the great forest, but they don't seem to be doing anything particularly royal these days. They only step forward as leaders in times of emergency.

In addition, the Long-eared Tribe and the Dwarf Tribe also live in the Great Forest.

They are said to be distributed in the southern part of the Great Forest, and have little contact with the Beastmen, but they seem to participate in the annual tribal meeting and the festivals held around the Great Sacred Tree.

According to Justaf, even though they were of different races, they were partners living in the great forest.

Incidentally, the Miners do not live in the great forest, but at the foot of the Azure Dragon Mountains further south. Like the dwarves in the story, they are a race that interacts with the mountains.

Azure dragons mostly fly in the air around the world, only nesting in the Azure Dragon Mountains during the egg-laying and raising season, much like migratory birds.

However, the Azure Dragon is different from ordinary migratory birds; its frequency seems to be once every ten years.

So, back to the Orcs, it is said that the Orcs have always alternated between war and friendship with the Humans.

If it were a small-scale war, it would have happened just fifty years ago.

Countstaff also participated in that war and recounted the story of how the powerful Orc warriors easily defeated the human soldiers who had wandered into the forest.

Although he embellished the story considerably, the events told from the orcs' perspective sounded quite fresh and interesting.

In response, Rajirud also brought out his family heirloom, namely the Spelud tribe anecdotes from the Battle of Laplace.

Neither of them was inferior to the other, but perhaps because it was a conversation between two old people, the content gradually turned into a sigh of how wonderful the past was.

"The soldiers lately have been really outrageous."

"I understand, Mr. Rachel Rudd, there are more weaklings now."

'

"That's right, unlike when I was young, when we were all outstanding men..."

'

They truly shared the same ideals and aspirations.

This kind of thing is the same in every world.

As for their claim that warriors have become weak, he didn't know the full picture and couldn't comment on it. However, in his mind, he felt that a true warrior wasn't someone who liked to fight and be aggressive, but rather someone like Brother Yue, who possessed both wisdom and willpower and only used force when necessary.

Several more weeks passed.

One day, Rudeus and the others were in their room when Alice went to play with two children. The eldest brother was doing something mysterious lately, and Rijerud was on guard against a monster attack.

Rudius stayed in his room alone, busy with his own things.

At that moment, the sacred beast, belonging to the Deludia race, strolled in leisurely.

It is carefully cared for like a greenhouse flower deep in the village, but it has one walk a day and can wander freely in the village.

My recent favorite walking route seems to be around Rudius.

"Oh, isn't this the Holy Beast? What brings you here, this beast of desire?"

"Woof!"

"Two~"

"Woof!"

Actually, he wasn't sure whether this sacred beast was male or female. In any case, ever since Rudy rescued it from the smugglers, it would always naturally come and sit down next to him.

At that moment, Rudius had a doll model being made in his hand.

It seemed like it would be a while before the rain stopped, so with nothing else to do, he decided to pick up his old craft again.

It must have been one day that I suddenly remembered my older brother's forging skills, and since we're about to reach the human realm, I felt it would be very necessary to pick them up again now.

The model is Ridge Rudd.

Some people might wonder why we chose him? But please think about it.

The Spelud were regarded as a kind of monster of unknown origin, and people would be afraid whenever they saw green hair.

However, the doll model he made was not painted; it was just a gray stone model.

So if he makes the model look more natural, people might be more likely to accept it.

Let's start with the overall shape, and leave the hair issue for last, or just dye it black like we are now.

"Woof!"

The Holy Beast pressed its entire body against Rudeus's thigh and rested its head on his knee.

No animal had ever been so close to him, so Rudius was a little overwhelmed.

"Hmm?"

It looked at his hand with an attitude that seemed to say, "What are you doing?"

Despite being so young, this little dog is quite mature.

Rudius patted its head.

"Since I have nothing to do, I've started doing some creative work."

"Woof!"

The sacred beast licked Rudeus's hand, its tail wagging incessantly, looking just like a large, domesticated dog wanting its owner to play with it.

After all, the rain has been falling nonstop, so the Holy Beast must be quite bored.

There is definitely a need for stimulating activities.

"Come and play!"

"Woof!"

So Rudius started grabbing it and rolling around, playing and wrestling with it.

The boy enjoys the soft, fluffy texture, and the sacred beast can engage in moderate exercise—it's a win-win situation.

knock knock.

During this process, a knock was heard on the door.

"Hmm? Please come in."

"Sorry to bother you."

The person who entered was a woman dressed like the village soldiers, Miss Lakula.

These were the guards who kept Rudius when he was imprisoned.

She is one of the people responsible for taking care of the Holy Beast, and she comes over here when the walk is almost over.

"Ah, hello."

"You've had a long journey, Mr. Rudius. I was truly rude earlier."

'

Every time Lakula sees him, she apologizes for what happened before, even though he feels that apologizing once is enough.

"But Mr. Rudeus, could you please stop your infatuation with the Holy Beast?"

As she said this, the female warrior showed an expression of wanting to stop her, but also looking somewhat troubled.

"What are you saying? I was just having a lot of fun."

Oh dear, are you going to frame me again?

I'm telling you, you haven't really reflected on your actions at all, have you?

"But it smells like it's in heat."

"...It's just a misunderstanding."

"The Holy Beast is a very important being to the Deludia race. Although I understand that it was you, Mr. Rudeus, who saved the Holy Beast, my infatuation still persists..."

'

"No, that's why I said I'm not infatuated with the Holy Beast..."

'

I'm just communicating with the dog in a very modern way, so why am I always being misunderstood?

Rudy couldn't understand it, but he still let go of the Holy Beast, which seemed to be enjoying itself.

It is said that the Sacred Beast is a kind of magical beast that is born only once every few hundred years.

It has no official name.

Since ancient times, the world has faced crises whenever a sacred beast appears. After the sacred beast grows up, it will embark on a journey with the heroes and use its powerful strength to save the world.

This is the oral tradition about the sacred beast.

Therefore, it is said that deep within the village of Deldia there is a great tree called the Sacred Tree, where a barrier is erected, and the Sacred Beast is protected and carefully cared for within the barrier.

It's almost like a pampered young lady from a wealthy family who doesn't want the Holy Beast, who doesn't understand anything yet, to go out into the cruel world.

However, since it is a dog after all, it seems that a walk is scheduled once a day.

By the way, I heard that the Holy Beast will take almost another hundred years to grow up.

Does this mean that if the legend is true, the world will face a crisis in a hundred years?

Lakula's main job right now seems to be protecting the Holy Beast.

One more thing to add: that forbidden path leads to the so-called sacred tree.

"Could it be... that Mr. Rudeus is the hero?"

"Woof woof!"

At this moment, the Holy Beast called out, and Lakula showed a surprised expression.

"Huh! What did you say?"

Huh? What's wrong?

"Woof!"

"I see...but..."

'

"Woof!"

"6

.I see.

""

"

'

Rudius looked distressed.

Hey, how can you talk to a dog so casually?

The Holy Beast's words don't sound like Beast God Language at all! How can you tell the difference? Did they use a dog language translator?

"The Holy Beast says, you are not the hero."

"Right?"

Please say a few more words to her for me.

"However, the Holy Beast seems to be very grateful to Mr. Rudeus, and is very happy to be with him."

3

"Oh? I was locked up in jail with no one to care for me. I thought it had long forgotten about me."

"Woof!"

"The Holy Beast said that's a real shame, as it specifically instructed that delicious food must be provided. I imagine Mr. Rudeus, you must be quite fond of the cuisine, right?"

That's right.

The food was indeed delicious, and I could have had another bowl.

He had initially found it strange that he was being treated this way while being imprisoned, but it turned out that it was all arranged by the Holy Beast.

However, to express gratitude, he first asked about food. It can only be said that he is, after all, a dog.

It doesn't matter anymore, it's all in the past anyway.

Just as Rudius was about to continue, the door to the room opened again.

They are Yue people.

"Since you're here, I've already improved the magic of the Deludia race. If you're not busy now, I'd like to teach you?"

"certainly!"

Rudeus suddenly felt that the sacred beasts weren't so appealing anymore; the allure of new magic was far greater than the furry feel of them.

Lakula then took this opportunity to say goodbye and left with her sacred beast.

Although she was also interested in how the Yue people taught Rudeus and his clan magic, she felt that this interest could be suppressed compared to the safety of the sacred beast.

Then came Rudius's moment of profound amazement.

From the innovative chanting lyrics to the somewhat altered flow of magic, it's clear that the eldest brother has completely transformed this magic beyond recognition.

Incredibly, the magic actually worked when the older brother used his method. Although it looked more like a shout, the little lizard's body stiffened a few times after being attacked, indicating that it did have a slight paralyzing effect.

So it seems that it has an effect, just like when I first used magic. Now it's just a matter of proficiency.

This is definitely not a problem for him; he's very good at practicing diligently.

When he tried to praise his elder brother's skills, the latter didn't care at all and instead said a few words that made him think deeply.

"Magic in this world is almost omnipotent. To achieve something in a certain area, all you need is some ideas and time. For example, what I'm teaching you now, another magician with some ideas, like you, could probably summarize it after spending some time with the Deludia race."

This is not mere boasting, but rather the conclusion he reached after conducting research over this period of time.

In this world, magic is the law of physics. As long as one's thinking is innovative enough, it's just a matter of time before it becomes a reality.

The magic of the Deludian race requires special vocal organs, so the normal method of cross-species teaching is to make the other party also have such organs. However, the Yue people, because of their "tracing the source", can obtain all the principles of magic. Since they know the principles, it is only natural to make some improvements suitable for humans.

"So Rudeus, unleash your imagination and talent! With your hard work, you, possessing such 'talent,' will surely be able to accomplish many incredible things in this world. In the end, you will have your own perfect life."
