The Record of Orc Civilization

Chapter 72 The Diplomat

Outside the Toxic Jungle, Moku opened his closed eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Good job Ez" he whispered.

"Moku, is it okay if we send Ez alone?" Nezena worriedly asked.

Moku just smiled and replied "You don't have to worry Nezena, Ez is tougher than you think"

There is an important reason why Moku chose Ez to become a diplomat. This may be realized by Ez or may not.

Ez was good with choosing words. He seemed to know what to say and when to say it.

Just like when Ez came to the Dawnmist Tribe to make the orcs attack the goblin cave as soon as possible. If Moku hadn't changed the orc's perspective and they were still the same as before —always think with their muscles and dick— then it was certain that the orcs would become extinct due to being killed by goblin traps.

The same goes for what happen right now.

Even though Ez's position was deep into the jungle, Moku could still hear Ez's screams with his evolved sense of hearing.

Ez never said that he was sent by the goblin tribe and he never said that he was sent by the orc tribe. Ez chose to say that he was an envoy of KuMoku.

The title 'Ku' was actually given to the strongest monsters within their respective races. So the title 'Ku' is not exclusive only to orcs but there may also be a goblin with the title 'Ku' as a sign that he is the strongest goblin.

Even so, only the orc tribe that still followed the culture of the strongest took the lead, so the title 'Ku' for other monster races wasn't that important.

Like the sylph who chooses a leader based on the direct lineage of the queen with the purest blood or the goblins who choose the leader based on the general election.

This made it seem as if the title 'Ku' could only be given to the strongest orcs. Even so, there may be other monster races that give the title 'Ku' to its name.

This lack of information made the alraune uncertain who would come to them. As a result, the alraune did not immediately prey on Ez and instead made him faint.

To know more, the leader of the alraune will send someone to spy on the group that Ez said.

This reconnaissance will of course be carried out at long distances, where the wind does not blow and carry their smell. Monsters' sense of smell was very sensitive and if they were stalking an orc then their smell would be easier to spot.

So now they can only see from a distance. When they see Moku and co, they will be even more confused.

Moku looks more like a night elf than an orc, plus Nezena who standing near him will strengthen the assumption that Moku is a night elf with slightly green skin.

However, Swa and Laya —two orcs— standing behind Moku would make that assumption waver because Swa and Laya looked unshackled and were very familiar with Moku.

This oddity will add to the confusion because of the attitude of mana species that consider orcs to be a pest and the story of the massacre of the orc tribes is very well known to all the monster races that exist in the Bog forest.

Then Tam and Nerphyl might not look too flashy because of their small bodies. However, skilled spies will take a closer look at Moku's group and find them.

Tam is a goblin the same as Ez, so there is a possibility that the KuMoku that Ez is referring to is Tam who is the strongest goblin.

But Nerphyl was a sylph. Even though she looked a little bigger and different from the usual sylph but it didn't cover the butterfly wings flapping on her back.

Sylphs are a closed-off race of monsters and rarely get along with other monster races.

All this information added to the confusion of the spies. So when they reported back to their leader, inevitably the leader of the alraune had to send someone with a high enough rank to meet Moku and co.

Moku was sure that Ez had thought this way at the first step he took after being forced and ventured to enter the Toxic Jungle alone.

Therefore, Moku just needs to be patient and wait for the messenger of the alraune's leader to meet them. And sure enough, not long after that, a silhouette appeared to be walking towards them.

Actually, the alraune do not have legs to walk, their entire lower body is shaped like a flower.

So the best way for alraune to move is by inserting their human body into the flower body and diving into the ground.

With the speed of their roots propagating, alraune will look like giant flowers that move quickly.

But this messenger did not do that. The human body still seemed to move with difficulty, indicating that she was in a state of alert and ready to attack at any moment.

Only the alraune's human body has the ability to hypnotize, while the lower body is only used for digestion.

Her long, wavy chestnut hair fell down her back. Her red eyes look beautiful with long eyelashes.

There are no defects in the hourglass body. Her ripe breasts are covered in green leaves that don't hide her conspicuous nipples.

She moved gracefully, attracting the eyes of anyone who saw her. Every swing of her big hips made her luscious breasts sway.

She got closer and closer until she was right in front of Moku and co. Their reactions varied when they saw her.

Moku just kept quiet and smiled calmly, Nerphyl sat gracefully on Moku's shoulder, and Nezena looked at her from head to toe then scowled in disapproval of alraune's overly vulgar attire.

Tam closed her eyes with her hands but there was a big gap between her fingers. While Swa and Laya...

Both of their bodies shook violently, their hairs stood on end as if they had seen something horrific, their breathing became erratic, and their hands clenched into fists trying to contain their raging instincts.

The alraune opened her mouth, then a very seductive sweet voice sounded "Hallloo!! My name is Venus Ornell Trap, from the Venus Trap family. You can call me Ornell to be more familiar hihihi..

I was sent by our leader to invite KuMoku to meet our leader.. hmm.. then.. which one of you is named KuMoku? hmm.. I'm confused.. is that you handsome?? hihihi... so embarrassed!!"

Ornell spoke in a voice that rose and fell like a discordant note that made men's hearts churn. Her sexy body twisted as if there was something wrong with the way she stood, making her large chest and hips quiver with every twist.

Nezena and Nerphyl gaped, it was the first time they heard how an alraune spoke. Tam giggled at the way Ornell was talking. While Swa and Laya...

"UUEEEEEEKKHHHH!!!" Swa vomited all his guts and knelt down with a pale face.

As for Laya, his body shook violently, cold sweat dripped down, and he grabbed the mace on his back.

"Ieeewww!!.. why are you throwing up?? Orcs are uncivilized, seeing a girl as beautiful as me and you throwing up... uuhhh... disgusting.. but why don't you react to anything, handsome!! Are you a real orc??

From the smell, yes.. hmm.. Ornell confused! hmm..." Ornell patted her full lips with her slender index finger.

She looked so cute it made all the men want to bow down and ask for a chance to keep Ornell from getting flustered again.

However, it had the opposite effect on the orcs.

Swa who vomited all the contents of his stomach with shaking hands grabbed the club that was on his back.

With a voice that trembled as if he was holding back something, he said "I..I'm s..sorry! B..But you n..need to d—"

"AAAAAKKKKHHHHH!!"

But before Swa could finish speaking the usually calm Laya charged forward..

With the mace held high above his head, he swung it with all his might. He wanted to crush Ornell's head in one hit and remove the confusion caused by the battle of his sense and instinct.

Ornell did not stand still, with a bent body, the Venus trap flower on her feet rose up and prepared to swallow her body for protection, then five thorny roots emerged from the ground preparing to receive an attack from Laya.

However, before Laya and Ornell fought, Moku grabbed Laya's neck hard and stopped his pace. Not until a second later Swa also attack but Moku managed to hold it by also grabbing him by the neck.

Even though their necks were tightly gripped, Swa and Laya continued to struggle and swing their maces blindly.

"Swa, Laya! Close your eyes!" Moku's orders.

Hearing Moku's orders, Swa and Laya tried hard to close their eyes. When their eyes were closed, their bodies calmed down a bit, though cold sweat still dripped from their foreheads.

"Ornell.. I hope you stop emitting your hypnotic scent! Your leader wants to see me right? You should also change the way you speak while we're here! You don't have to test me. I'm an orc!" Moku glanced at Ornell sharply.

"Well.. I'm sorry about that.. This is just a form of self-protection, we hear too many stories of alraune being hunted and killed by orcs just because they passed in front of them" Ornell's tone was no longer like a discordant note, but sounded like other normal people when talking.

Moku kept glaring at Ornell until she took a deep breath and removed her hypnotic scent.

"Alright, KuMoku, we'd better get in soon, before it gets dark. I'm sure the orcs' regeneration abilities won't survive the poison gas either. I'll lead you guys to meet our leader" Ornell's tone turned more serious.

Ornell turned and walked first into the Toxic Jungle.

"Swa, Laya, keep your eyes closed. Only open it when I command you to. Nezena, Tam, please help me to lead them on their way"

"Yes Ku!" the four of them nodded.

KuMoku and his group followed Ornell into the Toxic Jungle. Seeing his two brothers who closed their eyes and had to be led to walk, Moku smiled so broadly that all his teeth were visible.

'I am right! The alraune is the key to awakening the inner eye orcs!' he said in his heart cheerfully.
