"All transactions in this business district will be supervised by a security team. If anyone dares to cheat, they will soon be arrested and punished." Said Wiro to the assembled Orcs.
The captain of the security team is Saga, and the one as his vice-captain is Rei.
But usually Saga won't always show up, unless there's a big event. Many times Saga would leave everything to Rei to deal with.
...........
The shops for now are still empty, and the results of selling are also not too good or bad. Just mediocre.
"At the same time the Orcs are still busy working to earn points, to support their families. For now they do not have time to open a business, although small." Uriel told Wiro before Wiro left for the store.
Wiro occupies the largest store and puts all the vegetables and fruits on the table. Wiro would exchange everything he sold for strange seeds, herbs or Crystal Stones.
Now that the male Orcs have worked a lot, they are not interested in buying vegetables or fruits, but the females really like it. As long as the males who have worked and also have had a mate, they will definitely buy some fruits and vegetables for them to take home and give to their females.
Wild Horse Orcs and rabbits are herbivorous Orcs. Of course they really like fruits and vegetables.
"I really like the vegetables and fruits that the Lina family sells." Said one of the Rabbit Orcs.
"Me too, it tastes really delicious." Said one of the Orc Mustangs.
Almost every day, regularly the Rabbit Orcs and Mustang Orcs always buy a lot of fruits and vegetables from Lina's shop.
The Orcs of the Fur clan are omnivorous orcs. But sometimes they fly down to buy some vegetables and fruits, and take them home to eat.
"I want some of these fruits. How much do I have to pay?" Said Leon who was asking.
"For you, I give the price of one red Crystal Stone for these six sweet fruits." Replied Wiro with a grin.
"Are you crazy?! Don't dream!" Said Leon who then flapped his wings and left the place.
Seeing Leon who was leaving in anger, made Wiro laugh. "Haha.. I was just kidding. Come back here, temperamental Orc."
"My appetite is gone." Said Leon who kept leaving the place.
This sales volume is small, but the advantage is long-term stability.
After running for some time, Lina's family business isn't getting worse, but it's getting better.
...........
It was no secret that the Stone Wolf had received both the Wild Horse Orc and the Rabbit Orc. It has spread rapidly throughout the forest.
Now more and more Orcs came to Stone Mountain and asked the Stone Wolf leader to accept them.
Wiro was also very hopeful that the power of the Stone Wolf would increase.
"The more Orcs that live here, the better. But to be even safer, I must not let the Orcs who want to stay here go straight into the fortress."
Therefore, now Wiro has built a place around the foot of Mount Batu.
"For the time being, you will stay here for three months. If you can earn a hundred work points during the trial period and have no record of committing any crimes, then you are declared to be qualified to stay in the Stone Wolf clan." Wiro paused for a moment and then continued, "If you make a big contribution, then it can add more work points for you."
One of them, who wanted to join the Stone Wolf clan was a short Orc. His height was only one meter less. Standing among a group of Orcs with an average height of one meter and ninety inches, the short Orc clearly looked very small and like a dwarf.
He was wearing a grey fur coat and appeared to be carrying a huge load on his back. When she laughs, she will show her two large, shiny front teeth.
The name of the Orc is Khun Thet.
Behind him was also a female short Orc who was along with a dozen of her babies. This female Orc was the wife and children of Khun Thet.
Khun Thet was currently raising his head high to look at Wiro.
"Our respect to Wiro the leader of the Stone Wolf clan. I can dig a hole, and I can also give you important information. Please accept us as a family!"
Seeing someone greeting him, Wiro immediately looked at the dwarf in front of him.
"Tell me, what information have you heard?"
"I saw Nanto working with Ida Ruln to kill Booker the clan leader." Khun Thet.
Wiro immediately said, "That's what I already know."
"But what you don't know is that Nanto has captured many prisoners of war and taken as slaves. They also intend to send the captives to the Dark Moon Shrine." Khun Thet.
Wiro finally began to be interested in listening to this interesting information further.
"Continue."
Khun Thet rubbed his palms and asked expectantly, "If I tell you everything, will you allow me and my family to stay in the Stone Wolf clan?"
"It all depends on the value of the information you give me."
Instantly, Wiro immediately narrowed his eyes.
"Continue. Don't Stop."
"It looks like Heli Belang has something to do with the Dark Moon temple. Every day Ida Ruln also always seduced him. Ida was very obedient to the orders of Heli Belang and deliberately influenced Nanto to attack other tribes. Then he gathered the prisoners of war as slaves and gave the prisoners to the Dark Moon Temple."
After speaking of this, Khun Thet suddenly lowered his voice and asked curiously, "By the way, are there any male Orcs from the Stone Wolf family, who have become Ida Ruln's partner?"
Spontaneously, Wiro immediately thought of Pay No.
"Yes. There's."
"Yesterday I saw him in the woods. It seemed like she had been abandoned by Ida Ruln and was being bitten back by her partner's contract. He was already on the verge of death, but he still desperately wanted to return to Stone Mountain."
As soon as he heard about it, Wiro's face immediately changed. Wiro held the collar of Khun Thet's robe and lifted it up, then hurriedly asked with his cold-sounding voice, "Where is he? Now also take me there."
Getting such treatment from Wiro, no doubt made Khun Thet gasp. But he still did not forget to ask Wiro for conditions, "But.. But you have to promise me first. Allow us to stay in Batu Mountain!"
Wiro thought about it for a moment, after which said, "I promise you."
"If you let me go so soon, I'll take you there." Khun Thet.
After Wiro released him, Khun Thet immediately told his wife and children, "You stay here, wait for me to come back, don't go anywhere."
Seeing his wife and children nod, Khun Thet said to Wiro, "Let's go there."
Wiro said to Rei who was next to him, "You stay here and keep an eye on them until I get back."
Rei said, "I'll go with you!"
Whoa, "....." Wiro frowned and hesitated.
Rei immediately said seriously, "Pay No is Meli's younger brother, that means she is also half of my family. Now that she's in a state of disaster, I personally have to pick her up too!"
Wiro thought for a moment, then said, "Alright, you can come with me."
Khun Thet's legs are very small, but his running speed is very fast. Fortunately, the speed of Wiro and Rei was not slow, so they were both not left behind by Khun Thet.
They quickly ran into the forest and finally found Pay No who was under a big tree.
He lay on the ground and motionless, with his body fixed in the shape of a Wolf. Its grayish-black fur looked dirty and disheveled, and it could be seen that there were still traces of blood beside its fangs. His dark green eyes will never open again.
Pay No's body is stiff and no longer breathing.
The heart of Khun Thet who saw that also felt sad.
"The male Orc left behind by the female, his fate is really very unfortunate! Hhhhhh.."
While Rei and Wiro were both in a grieving mood as well.
"Are you going to bring him back?" Ask Rei to Wiro.
Whoa, "....." Wiro did not speak at all. Wiro remained standing silently staring at Pay's stiffened body.
After silence for a long time, suddenly there came the voice of Rei who said with a deep tone of voice and sounded a little quivering, "Let's burn the body."
Hearing Rei say such a thing, it suddenly made Wiro very surprised.
"Huh? Why don't you wait for Meli to see Pay's body first, and then we burn it?"
"Since the last time Meli lost all five of her partners, Meli has suffered greatly, and her health continues to decline. It is now difficult to take care of him. If he sees any more deaths in his family, I'm sure Meli won't be able to bear this blow. I don't want him to get hurt again." Rei said with a sad expression.
But Wiro was hesitant with Rei's decision.
"But this problem will not be able to be hidden forever from Meli. If one day he finds out the truth, what are you ..."
Rei immediately cut off Wiro's words, "If I can't hide this as long as I can, I'll tell him myself. No matter if he'll be angry or upset, I'll bear it all."
Hearing Rei's words, Wiro was able to understand her feelings. Wiro appreciates Rei's decision and pats him on the shoulder.
"I understand what you think and feel. Then do it."
The three of them immediately searched and found the wood they were going to use, and started burning Pay No's body.
Rei and Wiro also paid their last respects to Pay No. After all, Pay was also a family member of Rei and a clan member of the Stone Wolf that Wiro led.
After his entire body had been burned to ashes. Carefully his ashes were wrapped in animal skins and brought back to Stone Mountain by Rei.
Pay No is indeed unable to return to his hometown in a state of life. But at least now he has fulfilled his wish, even after his soul has left this Orc world forever.
