The Purpose of Chapter 426
"High Priest, why can we only see a blurry blur?" Fox Ice quietly reminded him.
Lin Baiyan blinked and placed his wrist in front of him. Something was wrong. This was clearly a Night-Blooming Flower Mark. In recent days, he had collected more faith power, and the Night-Blooming Flower Mark had already shown about 70-80% of its original form. Compared to its faint appearance before, it had become much more solid!
He rubbed his right wrist with his left hand; the epiphyllum mark was still etched on his wrist. Lin Baiyan looked up at the beastmen in front of him with exceptional sincerity, "Can't you really see it?"
The orcs all nodded in agreement.
Huh? He was puzzled. How come he remembered that Lang Cang could see?
“Perhaps this is also the Beast God’s way of protecting you…” Hu Kuo pondered for a moment and guessed.
The other orcs nodded in agreement, "That's right, that's good."
By hiding like this, the other orcs will not know the high priest's identity!
Thinking about it this way, only the beastmen of their Beast City know that Lin Baiyan is the messenger of the Beast God, so wouldn't they also indirectly become the beastmen chosen by the Beast God?
With their minds turning to this point, the beastmen present were all delighted.
Huqiu jumped up from his seat with a start, "High, High Priest..."
"Hmm?" Lin Baiyan responded with some confusion.
Seeing Lin Baiyan's bewildered look, Hu Qiu chuckled and waved his hand, "By the Beast God, I never thought I'd see a living Beast God's messenger one day..."
He just wanted to test whether Lin Baiyan still really existed.
Hearing him say that, the surrounding beastmen couldn't help but chuckle.
Yang Ye quickly tugged at her partner's sleeve and forcefully pulled him back to his seat.
Huqiu scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "I've never seen this before..."
Lin Baiyan was somewhat amused and exasperated. He never expected things to develop this way. However, they weren't entirely wrong. Aside from his identity as a transmigrator, he was indeed sent down by the Beast God.
However, with the Beast God as a shield, his strange knowledge now had a source, so whether or not he had transmigrated seemed less important.
"Then, Your Excellency, what is the matter that the Beast God sent you down for?" Fox Ice glanced at Lin Baiyan with a hint of teasing.
When this topic came up, Lin Baiyan's relaxed expression turned serious for a moment, but after seeing Hu Xia's expression, he relaxed again and replied with a smile, "What else can we do? Naturally, we guide the current beastmen to a higher era of civilization."
"Hearing that, it feels like the distance between us has suddenly widened." Hu Bing, being perceptive, naturally noticed Lin Baiyan's change and jokingly followed up on what he had just said.
The orcs present burst into laughter upon hearing his words, but they had clearly taken Lin Baiyan's words to heart. Upon reflection, it was indeed true. Since Lin Baiyan became their high priest, the orcs' living standards had been at two extremes compared to before.
If things continue like this, they might actually be able to enter the higher civilization era that Lin Baiyan mentioned.
Seeing that everyone's thoughts had been drawn elsewhere, Lin Baiyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His words just now were a mixture of truth and falsehood, merely concealing the fact that a great disaster had occurred.
However, he wasn't entirely wrong. If the Orcish continent could truly survive this cataclysmic disaster, then the social civilization within it would naturally advance to a higher level.
If we can't weather this storm, then we'll all just have to die together, so there's no need to say it now and cause panic.
Thinking about it this way, Fox Xia's worries were not unreasonable. Dying in ignorance is better than worrying and plunging oneself into endless darkness and fear.
"In that case, we must protect the blessing that the Beast God sent to the City of Ten Thousand Beasts!" While everyone was still immersed in Lin Baiyan's identity as an envoy, Ai Hong, who was in the far corner, muttered to herself.
His words immediately drew the attention of almost every orc in the office. The dwarf, suddenly seeing so many eyes staring at him, trembled and waved his hands nervously, stammering, "I...I was just talking nonsense..."
"Damn it, life's been too good for him. He actually dares to offer his opinion at a time like this," Ai Hong thought to herself, feeling utterly miserable.
Lin Baiyan looked up and saw the short, thin, and withered body. He was so frightened that he trembled and wished he could faint immediately.
He hadn't participated in the conversation, so he naturally didn't know that the people of Ten Thousand Beasts City had already prepared to face the situation together with Lin Baiyan.
He sighed inwardly, and was about to say something to comfort him when he heard a deep, rough voice say first: "That's right, this is our Beast God's envoy. As the Beast God's most loyal subjects, it is our Beast City's duty to protect the Beast God's envoy!"
"Hu Luan, your recent ancient culture classes haven't been a waste of time, you can even come up with idioms now?" Hu Zhen smiled and stroked his beard, subconsciously nudging his nemesis.
Hu Luan raised an eyebrow. "Hey, you old codger, why do you talk so rudely?!"
Fox Zhen smiled, unusually not continuing the argument, and instead turned his gaze to Ai Hong. He softened his tone, "You're right. The High Priest is a gift from our Beast God to the City of Ten Thousand Beasts. No matter the cost, we will follow him forever."
Upon hearing this, all the orcs present nodded solemnly and with great care.
When Ai Hong saw that they actually responded to his words, he was no longer as scared as before. He quietly looked up and saw that there was no mockery or rebuke as he had imagined, nor any contempt or disdain. Everyone's faces were full of agreement and approval.
Ai Hong breathed a sigh of relief, his face flushed, and he scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.
Even though they had lived here for a long time, it felt as if at this moment, the dwarf beastmen had truly integrated into the big family of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.
They were not vassals, nor spoils of war, nor laborers among the orcs, but members of their own race.
Having gained the orcs' approval, Dwarf Red, as if eager to prove something, patted his chest confidently and assured them, "High Priest, rest assured, if any other orcs want to harm you, they will first have to step over the corpses of our dwarf orc race!"
The orcs couldn't help but chuckle at his display of loyalty.
At this moment, Lin Baiyan, unusually, had some wicked thoughts. He frowned and pondered for a while, then slowly said, "Right now, there might really be some orcs who want to harm us."
Dwarf Red: !!!
Help! That was fast?!
