Chapter 46 That Smirk
Feeling Moku's power, Ez's eyes turned white again, before he fainted Moku said in annoyance "use your monster's nose stupid !!!"
Moku's face after the second evolution changed to become more handsome, Moku's current height has reached 2.3m.
His skin is clean and his black hair is getting longer, so it's only natural that Ez thinks Moku is an elf, especially since his green skin gets darker and looks black at night.
However, just like orcs can distinguish other orcs by smell, this ability is also possessed by goblins, even all species of monsters have it.
So Ez only needed to sniff to determine whether the tall creature before him was a night elf or an orc.
Ez sniffed like a dog, then his eyes widened in disbelief "Why do Orcs have faces like yours??? Are you cursed?" said Ez surprised.
"Well, it's a long story.. basically I evolved, why are you here Ez?" Moku asked.
"Hmm.. uh.. evolved? like hobgoblin? I.. I want to meet the orc chieftain" said Ez.
"Huh? Met the chief? You? I never knew a cowardly goblin like you had this kind of courage Ez. Well, you're lucky now that you've met an orc chieftain" Moku opened his arms wide.
"You? the chief?" Ez was once again wide-eyed in disbelief.
"That's right, I am the chief of the orc tribe, I am the chief of the Dawnmist tribe!" Moku smirked.
"Eh! That smirk! are you really Moku?" Ez was shocked.
"Fuck!! You still don't believe me? Is your nose rotting?" Moku is annoyed.
"Well, it can't be helped, we haven't seen each other for a long time so it's only natural that I forgot your smell.. wait.. wait.. you said you were the chief of the orc tribe right?" Ez's face changed from guilt back to surprise.
"It's okay.. yes.. I'm the chief of the orc tribe" Moku patted his chest.
"Impossible! how can that be?" Ez's eyes grew bigger as he widened his eyes.
"Well it's easy, I just need to beat the previous chief" Moku replied lightly.
"The previous chief? That Goku? Impossible, aren't you still a child?" Ez stared in disbelief.
"Fuck you Ez! How can you question my prowess. Up to you if you believe it or not. I want to see my wife, I miss her so much right now" Moku gets annoyed. He turned around and ignored Ez.
"WHAT? wife? why do you have a wife? Are you really the orc chieftain and beat Goku?.. Moku.. Hey.. Moku.. wait.. wait!" Ez chased after Moku who had already walked away.
One of the reasons why he dared to approach the orc tribe was because he knew Moku. When he first met Moku, Ez knew that Moku was different from other orcs.
Moku's eyes radiated a savagery that was different from other orcs. Not savageness as self-defense, but savagery that arises from self-confidence.
Moku and Ez walked side by side into the orc tribe's encampment. Currently none of the orcs were still awake, they were all asleep from exhaustion from the daytime activities.
No one is on guard at night, this did not only happen after Moku became the chief of the tribe but even before Moku was born.
Watching at night in the Bog forest is a bad decision for anyone who lives here. Not only because of impaired vision due to the dark night and thick fog.
But also because the air is very cold. At night in the Bog forest, starting a fire in the open is tantamount to enticing a mutated animal to attack.
So usually the monsters that inhabit the Bog forest, will make their homes in the underground like Goblins or use unique animals as natural alarms.
Orcs coexist with one type of animal called Cendet.
This beautiful and uncommon creature is a type of bird. It's about the size of a pigeon, has two huge and two smaller wings, four strong legs and a long, elegant tail.
They have a thick, strong skin covered in short, thin feathers, which is usually either grey or light brown or a combination of these colors.
They live in moist areas and are quite common. They're omnivores and their beaks are ideal for eating grain.
They're crepuscular and rely on their sight and sense of smell to get around. They do have no visible ears, but their hearing is not very reliable.
They have small beaks and gorgeous eyes. Their heads are small and thin in comparison to their bodies.
They make sounds ranging from fairly high pitched to relatively high pitched and have a fairly wide range of sounds they make to indicate discoveries, dangers and otherwise communicate with each other.
These creatures are very peaceful, but they get very territorial.
The orcs would spread stale food in the form of grains around the camp, make their houses out of dry grass and palm fibers, then place them on the camp walls.
Cendet would get used to living with orcs and recognize their smell. Then if any other creature approached the tribe other than the orcs, the cendet would chirp loudly and wake up the orcs.
Right now one of the reasons why Cendet didn't chirp after a goblin entered the gates of the tribal camp was because Moku covered Ez's smell with his scent.
Ez also pressed his body closer to Moku, he didn't want to wake the orcs. Ez still couldn't believe that Moku was the orc chieftain.
They continued walking through the orc tents, until they came to the largest tent and had a different shape from the others.
Moku walked casually closer to the tent while Ez started to feel worried because he was afraid that he was brought by Moku to the wrong tent.
Moku parted the curtain of the tent and entered without hesitation, Ez behind him saw five slender figures that didn't have orc-like bodies.
With his smell he could tell that four of the sleeping figures were female humans, while the other one with a large belly smelled like orcs, but smelled slightly different from male orcs.
Seeing the tent filled with women, Ez was getting more and more scared, he didn't know if Moku was really the chief or they really entered the wrong tent.
Hearing the sound of footsteps entering their tent, the girls opened their still heavy eyes.
Each one of them was covered in thick fur, it seemed that Boku gave the girls skins and furs to keep them from getting cold at night.
In the dark state of the tent, they saw Moku's slightly changed face from his previous evolution. Claire, Lina, and Widya were mesmerized.
But not with Vivi who has a strange taste of man "Hiiiiii.... NIGHT ELF!!! SIR Please don't kill us!! we just innocent girls!! we never kill chicken let alone elves!!" She screamed in horror before prostrating herself pleadingly.
Moku felt deja vu, he became furious and shouted "Fuck!! This me Moku! How can you all forgeting my handsome face?!!"
"eh?" Vivi looked up to confirm.
"Eh?" Claire, Linda, and Widya who stopped fascinated and stared at him for sure.
Moku's current face is indeed similar to the face of the previous one, even that change is said to be invisible at a glance. However, the aura that overflowed from his body made him seem like someone new.
"Hmm.. Moku.. Moku? MOKU!!!" Anna who was still half awake became wide-eyed after hearing Moku's voice.
"Hey Nevare..did you miss me?" Moku smirked.
"Ah that smirk, he really is Moku" Vivi and the other three girls nodded after confirming.
Moku couldn't help but smile bitterly at the whispers of the girls, 'Am I only known by my smirk?' he started to have doubts about his good looks after this second evolution.
"MOKU WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN??!!" Anna stood holding while her waist.
With her big pregnant belly, Anna looks like a pregnant wife scolding her husband for not coming home all night.
"Hehehe Nevare, you really miss me huh? I was only gone a week but you already miss me like this.." Moku chuckled.
He approached Anna and opened his arms to hug his angry wife.
Plakk!! Anna slapped away Moku's hand that was approaching.
"one week?! YOU SAY ONE WEEK!! ARE YOU LIVING UNDER ROCK??!! YOU HAVE BEEN GONE FOR ALMOST A MONTH!! We think something dangerous happen to you..!! If not because of Boku, Goku already gone with the other to search for you!!"
Anna pointed at Moku's chest angrily.
"ONE MONTH!!!!" Moku was surprised.
He felt like he had only been in the swamp for a week, he never realized he had been unconscious for over two weeks.
'Was my meeting with Garuda really that long or was I unconscious for that long?' Moku didn't know.
Moku looked at Anna's eyes which were already reddened and teary, it seemed that Anna was really worried about him.
Moku looked at Ez and the other four girls, "eehh.. can you give the two of us some room? Ez, you can go with the other girl to the bathhouse" Moku asked.
After Moku turned to Ez, then the girls realize that if Moku entered the tent not alone, there was a goblin following behind him.
Ez was still gaping and couldn't believe what had just happened. All the girls in the tent knew Moku and another girl who had green skin and smelled like an orc was scolding Moku like a wife scolding her husband.
Moku and Ez hadn't seen each other in just a few years, but when they met again Moku was already an orc chieftain and had five women at once.
He feels that life is unfair, he who is older than Moku is still single and just an ordinary goblin in his tribe.
The other girls wanted to ask who this goblin was brought by Moku, but they didn't want to get caught up in household quarrels between Moku and Anna. The girls nodded and went into the bathhouse.
Moku glanced at Ez who was still gaping, he grabbed Ez's neck and threw him into the bathhouse.
Ez darted into the Bathhouse and landed face-first.
The girls stared at the goblin who had just been thrown into the bathhouse with wary eyes.
They didn't know if the goblins were ferocious monsters or not. But they only hoped that the goblins weren't monsters with a strong lust like orcs.
They drew close to each other and prepared to fight if these goblins attacked. Especially Lina and Vivi who had a bad experience seeing their two friends being killed by goblins.
Ez pushed himself up and stood, the pain on his face indicating that he wasn't dreaming. Moku has really become a successful man.
He looked at the other four girls who were on alert, with blood dripping from one nose, Ez smiled stupidly, scratched the back of his head, and said "Hey ladies.. hehehe"
Suddenly all the worries of the girls disappeared after seeing Ez's stupid face. They felt it was outrageous to think that this small and cute creature matched the ferocity and toughness of an orc.
However, they just kept quiet and kept their distance from Ez. Especially Lina and Vivi who were still alert despite seeing Ez's stupid and funny face.
The conditions inside the Bathhouse became silent.
Not because they were awkward with each other, but because the four girls and one goblin were using all their senses to eavesdrop on the conversation inside the tent.
