Chapter 144 Love Is Weakness
Chapter 144 Love Is Weakness
The sound of chariot wheels colliding with the rocks below, the sound of wood squeaking against each other, and the sound of the two orcs' hasty breaths. Those were the three sounds that filled the Moku carriage that morning.
He saw the twinkling eyes of the two orcs that turned into doubt. Moku understood what they were feeling right now, they were doubtful about the two black potions in front of them. Moku knew that his name was also well known among orcs as a maniac who liked to give dangerous things to test the orcs' endurance.
So it is only natural that Boku and Goku doubt the two black potions given by Moku.
"It's not mine, it's Luna's." Moku said while glancing at the alraune beside him.
Boku and Goku glanced at Luna with question marks.
Luna nodded and started to explain "Eyes of God potion is made of some medicines that you may be familiar with and some other ingredients that you may not know.
The principle of this potion is to trigger the orc's gender recognition instinct and make it help awaken your inner eye. So the first thing this potion can do is trick the orc sense by making a brain confuse.
That's why in this potion there is a sedative that is usually used by sylphs when training. This sedative is useful for making the brain more relaxed, making it easier for other ingredients in it to trick the brain.
The material consists of five kinds, the first is the smell of alraune which has been obtained in liquid form, useful for deceiving the orcs' sense of taste. The second is a plant that we named Audiogys which is useful for paralyzing orc hearing. The third is a mixture of tobacco, the same concoction that Moku uses to paralyze his sense of smell. The fourth is a mixture we named Ambius which is made from diluted Hogweed Sap. And the last one was the plant that Moku brought after he had slept for a few days, Lacewing.
All of these ingredients are mixed in certain doses with a catalyst in the form of alraune blood combined with the blood of an evolved orc which is Moku himself. In order to keep your bodies from dying instantly, we've also added an orc regeneration triggering ingredient in the Deathrise mushroom."
Boku and Goku listened wide-eyed, they didn't understand most of what Luna was saying. But somehow their bad feeling was getting bigger and bigger.
Seeing the faces of the two orcs turn pale, Moku smiled "You don't have to worry, I've tried the Eyes of God potion and the result is that my inner eye will activate immediately when this medicine enters my body. Even so, I didn't feel any other effect other than the inner eye being active arrived, so I don't know what kind of experience you will get after taking this potion.
However, the Eyes of God potion is the only safest option for you to awaken your inner eye. However, I understand if you want to give up on becoming stronger. Besides, you don't want anything to happen to you after remembering the two beautiful wives waiting for you to come home" Moku smirked.
Hearing Moku's sarcasm, the two orcs could only bow their heads in shame. There is a little fear in their hearts about the risks of activating the inner eye and they realize that fear stems from their unwillingness to leave their wives.
Unbeknownst to the two orcs, love had made them weak.
They looked at Moku who never lost his priority to become stronger even though he already had three very beautiful wives. They could only take a deep breath and accept that apart from talent and strength, Moku also beat them in determination.
Therefore without thinking, the two orcs nodded their heads.
"Moku, I'll do it" said Goku firmly.
"I'm also ready whenever you ask" Boku said while nodding.
There was no doubt in the eyes of the two orcs and it made Moku smile. He had little doubt that these two orcs had become weak and timid just because someone they loved was waiting at home. However it seemed that becoming stronger remained a priority over the orcs.
"Good! I'll give you time to say goodbye to your wives. When the caravan stops and night falls, I'll be waiting for you on this carriage once again. Do you understand?" Moku said firmly.
The two orcs quickly nodded and answered firmly "Yes, Ku!"
---------
Without realizing it the sun began to set and night would soon come. As usual, a white mist started to descend from Wolf Slope Mountain and enveloped the entire forest below.
At the same time, the horde of monsters returned to their caravan which was preparing camp for the night. Many of them were injured especially for the orcs who looked very exhausted.
Even though fighting against iron and copper tier danger mutated animals was nothing out of the ordinary for them, the orcs were still not strong enough to face them one on one. So they use traps, ambushes, and other tactics to make hunting easier.
The carcasses of mutated animals were carried by carts and pulled by several buffaloes in front of them. The number of mutated animal carcasses that this caravan has is increasing every day.
Moku plans to use these mutated animal carcasses to help the goblins with their Tortured. Still, after seeing Moku use his mana organs as weapons with his Pringgandini, the goblins seemed to have other ideas for the carcasses of these mutated animals. Moku let them be creative because the number of mutated animal carcasses was too much.
The orcs returned to their respective families and listened to the protests of the alraune because they came home with their bodies full of wounds. However, the orcs already understood the nature of this alraune and did not forget to go home with the medicinal plants that the alraune needed. The alraune suddenly fell silent and began to treat the orcs.
On the other hand, there was a slightly different incident with the other orcs, especially the two orcs who had human girls in their families.
Swa came home with layers of animal skins and some fruit that Lina liked. He placed it in front of Lina's carriage and knocked on the door but Swa didn't get in the carriage and just waited outside.
Not long after, Lina got out of the carriage and asked Swa to come in, but Swa just shook his head and said that he just wanted to know if Lina needed anything.
The relationship between the two of them is not like a husband and wife relationship but more like the relationship of a brother-in-law with his brother's wife. Swa still can't forget that Lina is the woman Laya loves and Lina still hasn't forgotten that Swa is Laya's brother. So that makes their relationship very strange and not interesting to follow.
On the other hand, Mige came home with a furrowed brow, after washing his body, he immediately got into the carriage and met Widya who was waiting inside. Widya immediately gave Mige a warm drink and prepared a warm blanket for him.
Mige accepted Widya's gift and sat in front of her. Mige immediately told the whole incident during the hunt that afternoon. He told Widya all the strategies he used, the shape of the territory they hunted, what mutated animals they hunted, and how they hunted.
Widya listened carefully until Mige finished explaining. She just kept quiet knowing that after this Mige would ask her opinion on the tactics he used.
As the Head of the Hunting Division, all hunting strategies and all things about hunting are on Mige's shoulders so it can be said that if an orc is killed while hunting, half of it is Mige's fault. For this reason, Mige always sharpens his strategy and always asks for opinions from those who he feels are wise people.
During this time he always asked Moku for advice but right now Moku was so busy that even though he had time all day and all night it still didn't seem enough to finish all his busyness. Because of that, Mige couldn't add to his tribal chief's preoccupation.
However, Mige is very lucky to have a wife who has an intelligence that is not inferior to him. So every night after coming home from hunting, Mige would immediately ask Widya to criticize or give an opinion on his strategy.
Widya herself never knew that she was not currently being used to satisfy Mige's lust but to satisfy his curiosity. Widya is forced to rack her brain every night to make Mige feel satisfied, if she only gives a modest opinion then Mige will keep asking and make her unable to sleep.
Sometimes Widya thinks to satisfy Mige's lust instead of having to drain her mind every night.
In Moku's carriage, two orcs were already sitting with straight backs and very serious eyes. Apart from Moku, his three wives and Luna were already in the carriage. They were also curious about the process of activating the orc's inner eye.
"Are you ready?" Moku asked.
The two orcs only replied by nodding. There was no longer any doubt or fear in their eyes. There is only courage and a thirst for strength.
