Chapter 25: Theory.
1067 Words
We sat down quietly on the Dining Room waiting for Lunch... And then, We move on to our main topic of conversation... The Orcs are really weird and suspicious... That's the topic of our conversation now...
We're still two hours away from Aligh... So we have time to discuss what might happened to the orcs. No matter what conclusion we ended up on... It's going to be the right one. Since all the clues are there for us to see...
"So Alfredo. What could it be that you're thinking? Is it something similar to mine? Because I think that the Orc Lord are not naturally selected."
"Yes. I think so as well Mashura... Hear me out... I feel like you have a hunch about something like this... So let me just tell you what I think...
Orcs is obviously known as Sympathetic. They have big sympathy and empathy toward each other. Despite being a monster... No, Because they're a monster.
And that make me think. That the reason why the orcs lost its trait... Is because they were tortured by the Orc Lord... Knowing that even their lord doesn't care about them... It makes them think that comradery is just a lie...
That's my take on what we've seen so far."
Mashura was silenced. Once again she put her finger on her chin and started thinking... I know that she's thinking the same thing because she didn't realize that her head was bopping up and down.
She's probably thinking about what can we do next...
"... I do agree with you though Alfredo. As hard as it is to believe how that sounds... I too think the same thing... Moreover... The appearance of Orc Lord... It backs up any theory that we send to each other."
Yup. I know that she agrees with me... Truthfully, I have more information that I can give regarding this information... But I will quiet down and say it later... Since for now, I just want to lay low and hear this lovely lady talk her mind.
And then... Something struck her mind it seems like as her eyes widened... And cold expression comes out from her face...
I stay quiet.
I don't want to pour oil to the flame.
The moment I ask what's wrong, I will be set in flame as well...
It's a bad trade to have. I still want to think normally and clearly. Not filled with Rage and the will to hurt enemies...
"Alfredo... It seems like this situation is going to get out of hand... Soon enough..."
"... I know. But one thing still in my mind... What is going to get out of hand. At which city, and what make that situation out of hand..."
Mashura just sigh at my obliviousness. Please Mashura. Ignore it! Please! Don't force me to think about strategy right now!
"You look lazy and oblivious of the information that I will be giving you..."
She notices it... Haaah... Good. At least, if you want to tell me, tell me later after lunch... I heard that the Lunch for today is Noodles and Meat... So I want to enjoy my favorite food quietly...
"And I won't let you do that! Hear me out Alfredo!"
"Ah shit... Okay Mashura... Let me hear you..."
She clear her throat and then started explaining things toward me. Something that I already expected.
"I think Coup d'etat are going to happen. The Alkem Royal Family is going to be in shambles because someone has created Orc lord that control other orc to work for them."
"Right. And judging from the way the orc has been acting up... It seems like our culprit is just around the corner. So, probably in Aligh. The Governor of Aligh is probably the culprit. He want to overthrow the king and grab the seat of the highest authority."
Mashura nodded in agreement to my statement... See? It's the same thing that we're thinking about... But now... I started thinking about what can we do to keep this from going out of control.
I slurp my noodles while thinking about that...
Let's see... Since we're right on our way to Aligh... I feel like we have the obligation to take this matter to our own hand... Because we do need to test our weapons... And test subject is hard to search...
I look at Mashura and she's quietly eating her food... f*****g hell! She's on her third bowl already. So that's not going to happen...
Let's think about it alone...
If we want to go up against the government of Aligh... We need ally... But we're probably never going to get it because people are scared to fight against them...
So it's going to be us both that's going to fight them... Mashura can handle most of the power fighting... But she can't take out someone that she can't see... So, the Nobles... I'm going to take care of it...
I put my bowl down and I feel sick... I want to rest now...
"Hey Mashura."
"*mogu mogu* Yesh?"
"Want to fight against the Aligh Government?"
And then a slight creepy smile just creeped out to the corner of her mouth.
"Let's do it Alfredo. We need more resources anyway. If we can seize those nobles. We can make Aligh ours. And with that, you don't need to worry about running out of resources anymore. Because you can request it straight from Aligh!"
Mashura... We're not going to take over the world... But that's a great idea...
I reach my hand toward her and then she grab it... She pull me and then put my hand on her cheek.
"With the two of us... We're going to eliminate anything in our ways. Nobles, Kings. Doesn't matter who they are. We're going to demolish everything!"
I smiled when hearing her determination... She talks with cool tone, as usual... But there's fire under those ice... Anyway... I just lean on her shoulder and close my eyes... Trying to look for the best strategy that we can do...
And before we notices... We're already on the outskirts of the Aligh City... Of course... Time flies really fast... We go back to our Room and then wear a more proper clothing and then put our Gyzus and Kylus on the lobby... In case of Emergency, I can grab it quickly by making Chreation throw it out.
