I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive

9. What are you nervous about

Without making any additional requests, I followed the two orc brothers, Geloram and Gu Erdan, to my final destination in the Austro-Hungarian tribe—the temple used by the orcs to “sacrifice to the Great Patriarch.”

After a considerable amount of walking, the sky gradually darkened. Just as Geloram said, when the surrounding torches flickered and the dancing flames illuminated the outline of the temple, it really did have a very “atmospheric” feel. In the few descriptions the orcs have of the Great Patriarch, he is a being that has never shown his true form, only occasionally revealing some very “large shadows.” After such rumors spread, orcs who still acknowledged the existence of the “Great Patriarch” would come to the temple at night to “confess” to the few candles behind a pile of apple chicken, unaware that the small fox hiding behind was actually the “Great Patriarch” they had been searching for.

However, at this moment, after passing through a passage that unexpectedly had no high-ranking orc warriors guarding it and entering the temple, I did not find that small fox Zelus, who in my memory should be disguised as a “worker” in the temple. The candlelight inside the temple was even more dazzling, but the emptiness around made it eerily quiet.

At the moment when only the footsteps of me and the two orc brothers remained, in order to prevent these orc brothers from becoming overly nervous, I spoke up, pretending it was “my first time here,” and asked with a hint of amazement, “So this is the inside of the temple? Such a large temple is only used to sacrifice to your tribe’s Great Patriarch?”

Compared to me, the orc brothers, Pigeon Rom and Gu Er Dan, who had definitely been to the temple before, seemed much more nervous.

“Ah, ah! Of course! The Great Chieftain is in the room at the end of the temple; we orcs change the offerings every day! Strangely enough, although the Great Chieftain has never appeared, the offerings we send are actually gone the next day!”

That’s just because they were eaten by Zerus, no, it’s not exactly stealing, after all, the offerings the orcs presented were for the Great Chieftain, and Zerus’s true identity is indeed the Great Chieftain of the Austro-Hungarian tribe.

Gu Er Dan picked up where Pigeon Rom left off, adding, “Also, the Great Shaman lives in the temple, but now…”

Saying this, the green-skinned orc nervously glanced around, then breathed a sigh of relief, “The Great Shaman doesn’t seem to be in the temple.”

“That’s it?”

I stopped, “If that’s the case, then this temple is too hard to manage, isn’t it? Is there anyone else who can enter and leave the temple?”

The Zerus in my memory was a subhuman who worked odd jobs here; in other words, as long as Pigeon Rom and Gu Er Dan have “seen a fox doing odd jobs,” I can find Zerus’s whereabouts.

“This…”

“Hey! Why are you asking so many questions!”

Before the hesitant Gu Er Dan could answer, Pigeon Rom had already started urging me anxiously.

“Aren’t you going to see the place where the Great Chieftain is worshiped? Hurry up! Don’t think this kind of place can be entered whenever you want!”

“Pigeon Rom, why are you so anxious?”

“Uh! This is because…”

I didn’t continue to doubt, anyway…

Even if these two orcs don’t say anything, I have my own way of getting the answers. Now that I’m in the temple, nothing related to this place can escape the script I can see!

【Zerus exists within the temple!】

The next moment, the script had already told me the answer that these two orcs couldn’t stammer out. Convenient and quick, originally getting it bit by bit from the orcs, and then “searching” for it would have been much simpler.

Moreover, some unseen dangers, at the moment I used the script, could also clearly emerge.

【Euclid was killed in the temple!】

This no longer requires a death script to come knocking; I can already know where and what will happen. This, indeed, is the power of a “god.”

Look, just like at this moment, I can already “feel” the danger that is being transmitted within this empty temple. It accommodates the appearance of the death script, and once I perceive it, that strange feeling can naturally find no place to hide .

Moreover, it’s not just one! In the next moment, more death scripts come crashing in, almost blocking any ordinary means of evasion from any direction, any angle!

As if… my coming to the temple tonight is itself a complete setup for me to “die.”

Such a situation…

I’ve been waiting for this for a long time~

I look at the two orc brothers who have turned to wait for me, signaling me to hurry up. In my memory, they were indeed good brothers who helped me a lot, but in this “restoration of the era,” they are so. .. disappointing to me.

So much so that they are not worth mentioning; I don’t even want to waste ink on them because I already know the dangers that lie ahead. They are like “humble beings.”

“Geloram, Gu Erdan, you two… truly have no dignity or glory as orcs.”

“!”

Looking at the astonished faces of red and green beside me, I shook my head, “Noble orcs do not tell clumsy lies.”

Geloram was the first to jump up! But his actions looked like a manifestation of guilt.

“You! What nonsense are you talking about!?”

“Nothing, do as you please; I don’t have time to play with you.”

After all, you are of no importance.

【The Great Wizard has appeared and killed Oujilide!】

Just as Geloram and Gu Erdan were about to respond to my earlier “provocation,” a sudden commotion erupted in the originally empty temple, followed by… that rat beastman Great Wizard, accompanied by nearly blocking the temple’s entrance and exit with “ratmen ,” surged in like a tide!

The leading Great Wizard wore a proud expression, waving his staff, pointing at me and the two orc brothers. Beside him were several other orc “races,” seemingly there to “witness.”

Such a perfect timing; it is clear… the Great Wizard has been planning for this moment for a long time.

“Look! Fellow tribesmen, these are the three cowards! A spy from the elves and two wasteful beings who have abandoned the glory of the orcs! They now even want to destroy the temple, to destroy the protection that the Great Chieftain has given us !”

By the time Gelorm and Gu Erdan realized it, it was too late; they had been betrayed. Further explanations were useless; these simple beasts only believed what they saw with their own eyes.

And now, Gelorm and Gu Erdan, who had intended to “interrogate” me, were branded as “traitors.”

“In this age…” Pathetic creatures, Gelorm and Gu Erdan, Keffir.

“Kill them all! Leave not a single bone! We cannot allow such people to destroy our tribe!”

【Euclid was killed by the Great Shaman and his men!】

【Gelorm and Gu Erdan were…】

Enough, the second script is useless to me.

I only need the first.

I looked at the Great Shaman before me, seemingly confident of victory.
