It was right then that Luke made his decision
“His name is Hal”
“Hal?”
“He was the cook of a squadron, and has never even fought an Orc before”
Viscount Max seeuard by the remark
“A cook?”
“He’s a weak hearted h looksHe is probably just traumatized from the torture he received from the Orcs”
“Is that so?”
Many feelings flashed through Luke as he walked forward
‘This is a gamble Since the Orcs trusted me as a superb commander, I will trust them once as well’
As he seeaze, Kurotan settled down immediately
“From my opinion, sir, I do not think we need to call in a torture specialist”
“But hly suspicious”
Luke smiled and looked at Viscount Max
“To tell you the truth, I know Hal’s poor situation better than anyone”
“What kind of situation does he have?”
“Not long ago, his wife eloped with another , to lament to me about it”
It was cliché, but to Viscount Max, a soldier, it worked like a charest worry that a soldier stationed away from his home had
“I completely understand now”
Viscount Max silently nodded his head and then turned to look at Luke,
“Do you have any relations with this soldier?”
Luke nodded without hesitation
“Yes, sir I was going to take hi him into my lands”
Viscount Max looked surprised at Luke’s words
“What use could you possibly have for him? Do you not knohy he is in the army?”
Viscount Max’s question was expected Hal’s character was questionable on paper, as he was a prisoner, and did not seem have any skills
Luke smiled and made up another story
“Heskills are quiet decent”
Viscount Max nodded once again
“Then I suppose there is no need to torture him I trust you will take responsibility for him?”
Luke pretended toThis was a question that could not be answered i some suspicion
“Yes, I will take responsibility”
“Good Release him…”
Viscount Max motioned towards the soldiers
“This bastard, won’t he thrash around again?”
The soldiers reluctantly released Hal’s bindings Unlike their expectations, Hal did not begin to get violent Hal walked quietly to stand next to Luke, who nodded
“I have already pro and the Esteban Earldom’s No need to worry”
Luke patted Hal on the shoulder as though no ansas needed, and left the headquarters Hal followed behind with a relieved expression Like a baby duckling following his mother
Hal, no, Kurotan expressed his thanks the second they left the headquarters
“Keung, I thank you for taking me in”
Luke took a finger and put it to his lips, indicating silence
“Not another word until we leave the base”
“O-Ok Keung”
“No need to even answer, just nod If you buy yourself suspicion again, I won’t be able to help you”
Kurotan nodded silently
“Just to ht?”
Kurotan once again nodded silently Luke ht in his life that he would see an Orc wearing the figure of a human
“Let’s get our luggage and leave this place The first thing we need to do is get somewhere without people”
Kurotan whispered silently
“Keung They took away the divine sword We must recover it at all costs”
“It was probably confiscated because it was a weapon All right, I will get it back for you”
Kurotan looked expectantly at Luke with hopeful eyes
“I will trust you”
Luke looked for the quarterwhere captured supplies were kept
“What is your business here?”
“I am the commander that was captured by the Orcs I as that were taken by the Orcs”
The quartermaster immediately escorted Luke to the pile of supplies once he had confirmed Luke’s status
Luke reclais first, and then carefully askedthe quartermaster
“Have you seen an old sith a broken blade by chance?”
“A sith a broken blade?”
Luke pointed to Kurotan, ‘disguised’ as Hal
“It is his father’s heirloom”
“I think I may have seen it somewhere”
The quarter before he found the divine artifact He did not seem to vieith much importance, as the divine artifact truly looked no different from an old sword
“Here it is”
Luke hesitated for a little bit before receiving the divine artifact, which held several hundreds of Orcs’ souls He wondered briefly if this was still a good idea, but the water had already been spilled
“Take care that you do not lose it”
Kurotan’s body shi+vered in excitement when Luke handed hiotten Luke’s advice and re
“Many thanks, quartermaster Please let me knohen you visit Esteban Earldom”
“Ah, I am thankful for your words”
“Good day then…”
Luke left without hesitation, all his baggage in tow He was stopped several ti the way for examinations, but he was able to smoothly talk over all of them
