Chapter 35 The Plan to Save the Catgirl
Just finished drinking wheat porridge, which calmed Ellie's heart. Gabriel's account almost made her heart leap out of her chest, though she had a flat chest, well, just a little.
"What did you say? A human girl named Audrey discovered your orc identity and let you go?" Ellie's eyes widened, her fox ears trembling.
The next moment, Ellie quickly shouted outside, "Harrison, Harris, go and be on guard outside."
"Yes!" came the swift response from outside.
"Yes, Audrey was kind to me. She was the only human who treated me well," Gabriel affirmed.
Ellie fell silent, staring blankly at the innocent ox orc before her. Everyone had told her that ox orcs were simple and kind-hearted, and today's events confirmed that. But she wanted to say that Gabriel was just foolish.
"And you had the nerve to go to work instead of gathering information? If you were caught, let me tell you, you'd be enslaved to shovel cow dung," Ellie threatened.
She didn't want Gabriel to think that just because one human was kind to him, many others would be, too. Such a notion was dangerous.
"Boss, can we not talk about cow dung?" Gabriel looked a bit awkward.
"No, you're a cow," Ellie said flatly. "You can't despise yourself."
Gabriel's mouth twitched. He wasn't the kind of common cow, but he didn't dare to resist, or the other orcs outside would drag him out and beat him, cursing him for talking back or spanking him.
"By the way, I have some good news that you definitely want to hear," Gabriel quickly changed the subject.
"Is it news about Mila?" Ellie, being clever, immediately thought of Mila and exclaimed excitedly, "Spill it, or I'll tell everyone about the cow dung incident."
"Yes, I found it," Gabriel's mouth twitched, and then his face became serious as he said, "Henry, a nobleman in Eldoria, is said to have a cat in his castle. Many people have seen her, and I suspect that orc might be Mila. She must have been captured by Henry."
"How could Mila be caught? She's a ghost walker," the orcs, eavesdropping outside, immediately shouted in disbelief. In their minds, Mila was the most powerful.
"Yeah, Mila is a powerful warrior; several human knights are not a match for her; how could she be caught?"
"It must be some conspiracy by that nobleman. No, we have to go and save Mila."
Gabriel, at that moment, felt a bit like he didn't want to live. People outside were eavesdropping, so the incident of him falling into the cow dung pit must be heard.
"Alright, we need to plan this carefully. We'll act tonight," Ellie said softly, soothing the crowd.
"Mila, you must be safe. I'll come and rescue you right away."
"If something happens to you, I'll make that nobleman pay, and the whole of Eldoria will die, I swear by the fox tribe."
Ellie's eyes sparkled wisely, and she immediately called a few orcs to arrange things. Then, ignoring everyone's objections, she and Gabriel set off overnight, heading for the castle of Henry in Eldoria.
By the time Gabriel and Ellie entered Eldoria, it was already past nine o'clock at night, and there were not many people on the road. Everyone had been busy all day and had gone to rest early, of course, mainly because there were no entertainment activities.
The only activity, of course, is having babies. Henry has come up with a new policy to encourage childbirth; even if some people are very tired, they are willing to take action, after all.
Gabriel and Ellie walked in the shadows of the house, a technique Mila had taught them.
Suddenly, a shy woman's scream came from a room, making Ellie's face blush, and she cursed in her heart; how shameless, this sound could be heard dozens of feet away.
"Boss, do human women like to be hit?"
Gabriel was innocent, scratched his head, and asked in a low voice.
"Shut up." Ellie slapped Gabriel on the back of his head, making her angry and viciously saying, "Human women are all perverts, including Audrey."
"What?"
Gabriel's eyes widened, his body stiffened, and a picture appeared in his mind: Audrey tied up by him; he used his palm to slap her hard, and Audrey was still shouting 'harder'; such a scene made Gabriel shiver.
"No... It is impossible, right? Ellie, you're lying, right?" Gabriel said in a daze.
"Nothing is impossible, and human women are all perverts." Ellie pouted, urging Gabriel to hurry up and lead the way. "That little kitten is still waiting for us to save her."
"Okay." Gabriel nodded quickly. He decided that next time he could meet Audrey, he would ask her if she also liked being hit.
He is very strong, and at the thought of this, Gabriel looked forward to the next meeting.
Ellie didn't know that her angry words had trapped the innocent Gabriel.
