The Record of Orc Civilization

Chapter 361 Nevare's Thing

The light from the Mana Lamp illuminated the entire room, providing a natural glow as if being outdoors. The air purifier made from the larynx of mutated animals circulated fresh air from outside. Despite being four floors underground, she felt as if she was outside.

Beautiful trinkets and luxurious furniture filled every corner of the room. A square mahogany table with a round mirror was positioned on the left side of the large bed. In front of the mirror, Nevare's reflection was complete with her red eyes seemingly locking gazes.

No expression showed on her face, only a discernible neutrality. However, her eyes seemed to gaze far into the mirror, wandering within the depths of her own thoughts. Her hand caressed her flat stomach, unlike the usual—this time, there was nothing alive inside.

"Sigh..."

She felt a slight emptiness, but it wasn't an issue because, after this mission, her husband would gladly fill that void. It's not that she missed that jerk, but sometimes love is hard to understand.

Nevare initially thought that, as an orc, Moku's desire to have children was significant. Considering a race with only one gender, the urge to reproduce would be substantial. Perhaps that's why orcs like to abduct human girls from villages, even though, as weak monsters, it's quite risky.

However, being a Progenitor Queen, Nevare also became the confidante of other valkyries. Thus, she knew that her incessant pregnancies were not normal. Other asura wives had intervals of two to three months before getting pregnant again. In contrast, her womb was filled just one or two hours after giving birth… that jerk's weapon really that long… and two or three days before the next baby made its presence known.

Consequently, she believed that it was more of a Moku's thing than an orc's thing. Yet, other factors made Nevare reconsider. Though she was Moku's favorite wife, he wasn't impartial. Moku loved all four of the main queens equally, dividing his time and attention fairly among them.

Oddly, despite receiving equal attention, only she continued to be pregnant without a break. Nezena, who had the highest motivation to conceive Moku's child, couldn't even touch her pregnancy record. Thus, Nevare changed her conclusion again—this wasn't an orc or Moku thing but a human thing!

However, with the strengthening of the Wilwatikta Kingdom, more valkyries from the human species joined. So far, Nevare had found that her situation was unique. After inquiring with a few people, including Gupita, who was also considered Moku's favorite, Nevare finally discovered that what happened to her wasn't common among other human valkyries.

A significant example was Vivi, Widya, Lina, and Claire. Their husbands also loved them deeply. Boku, Goku, and Swa initially refused to remarry before their wives insisted. Thus, it could be assumed that their intimate relations were as wild as Moku and Nevare's, yet none of these four girls had a higher pregnancy rate than half of what Nevare experienced.

In the end, she concluded that her condition wasn't an orc, Moku, or human's thing but just Nevare's thing.

"Really? Did I have a breeding talent or something?"

Nevare once again immersed herself in contemplation, but unfortunately, her valkyrie senses were so strong that she could hear footsteps approaching her room.

*Knock! *Knock! *Knock!

The sound of knocks echoed, and Nevare's red eyes instantly turned into Anna's deep blue sea eyes.

"Nevare, sorry to disturb you, but your brother and his friend have arrived," Gupita reported after entering the room.

"Let them in," Anna replied with a cold tone. Her expression turned even colder, emanating a stronger aura that made onlookers acknowledge her as a commanding queen. There was no sense of reluctance or discomfort within Anna for deceiving her brother or causing humans to suffer. She no longer considered herself a human. To her, life as a human was merely like a caterpillar phase, and Valkyrie was the butterfly that had emerged from the cocoon. How can a beautiful creature like a butterfly be compared to an ugly creature like a caterpillar?

Artur and his friend Robert's faces began to enter her room. Artur's eyes were fixed on Anna, while Robert was busy examining the room. Anna gestured for both of them to sit on the guest chairs at the foot of the bed. If anyone knew that Nevare invited two men into her room, it would become spicy gossip in the kingdom market. However, for the sake of secrecy, Anna had no choice but to do this. She didn't want any mistakes in this plan because of its close relationship with the continuity of the Wilwatikta Kingdom.

"What would you like to drink?" Gupita asked.

"Ah... no need," Artur replied.

"I'll try a milk coffee," said Robert.

"Alright," Gupita nodded with a flat expression before leaving the room.

"Anna, how have you been?" Artur asked. Anna could see the concern in his eyes, making her realize that Artur hadn't completely let go of his guard. It seemed like Moku's earlier performance hadn't fully convinced her little brother. Or maybe, as Moku said, Artur had feelings for Anna. Didn't he already have a wife? Moreover, Anna is his sister... ugh...

It's not that Anna didn't want to push Artur away, but she felt that this little brother still served a purpose in her plan. However, she couldn't dispel Artur's suspicion so easily. "Suspicion stemming from jealousy is the most challenging poison to cure," that's what Luna said. Therefore, Anna had to let time dispel Artur's suspicions. As long as he didn't interfere with the mission she was carrying out, Anna wouldn't do anything for the time being.

"I'm fine... I don't have much time, so can we start soon?" Anna asked.

"Yes, of course!" Robert answered before Artur could say anything.

"This is a map showing the location of the slave trade that my people managed to find. I intentionally chose a location near Bog Forest to make it easier for you to access," said Robert as he opened a map he had taken from his storage ring.

"Thank you for that," Anna replied, focusing on the map in front of her. The map depicted the location of the slave trade marked with red crosses. Anna recognized the area on the map as it was almost the same as the map of the Bog Forest outskirt created by Swa. However, Swa's map was much more detailed, complete with information about mutated animals.

It seemed that Robert still didn't fully trust Anna. However, this suspicion was normal, a small form of his caution. Anna wouldn't mind this because for Robert, as long as his plan went smoothly, it wouldn't be a problem if Anna took her own advantage.

"No problem, we have the same goal, so making it easier for you will also make it easier for me. But as I mentioned earlier, I can't help you directly. I can send resources or intel to you, but unfortunately, I can't send personnel assistance. Although I am the only child of Stent Gaht, unfortunately, I am not trusted to have my own force. So, I can only trust you and your troops in this assault," explained Robert.

"I'm fine with that. Besides, from the beginning, I only wanted to use former slaves as the assault team. Those who have experienced suffering will be more motivated to save those who are currently suffering. But there's something I want to ask you," said Anna.

"Please. We should be open with each other about this so that there won't be any problems from misunderstandings during the execution," Robert replied.

"I don't see the location where the slaves will be taken after we successfully rescue them on this map," Anna said in a flat tone.

"Ah... hmm... for that, I'd like to ask for a favor from you. Or more precisely, I want to ask for a favor from Prince Moku. As I mentioned before, I can't have a connection with this plan that could be sniffed out by my enemies. If that happens, my position in the Human Alliance will be very compromised. So, I want the arions to take care of the slaves for a while until I complete my plan in the Human Alliance. Oh! Of course, I won't trouble you more than this. I will provide enough resources for you to take care of the slaves temporarily," explained Robert.

"How many resources are you talking about?" Anna asked.

Robert took out a piece of paper from his storage ring and handed it to Anna. When reading the contents of the paper, Anna's eyes widened briefly before refocusing on Robert.

"That amount is what I will provide for the first month. For the following months, you can report to me if the resources you receive are not sufficient," explained Robert with a smile on his face.

Anna truly underestimated this Stent Gaht's child. She never expected Robert to smuggle in this amount of resources without anyone knowing.

"Alright then. We have no other choice but to rely on you. However, I must explain to you that these people will not be taken to West Fortress. Although this place has been handed over to my husband, due to his agreement with the Human Alliance, the Arion King will turn his attention here. Unlike my husband, the Arion King still harbors significant suspicion towards humans, so I will choose another shelter far from his scrutiny," Anna explained.

"Can I know where that place is?" Robert asked.

"Hmm... I better not give you the exact location. Because this place is the center of my husband's power, just like you not providing information about the Human Alliance territories, I choose to do the same," for the first time, Anna smiled, leaving Artur bewildered and Robert with a bitter smile.

"If that's the case, I hope our cooperation can yield the results we desire," Robert stood up and extended his hand.

"Of course, Robert," Anna also stood up, welcoming the offered hand.
