Chapter 367 [Something is wrong]

Something was wrong, very wrong! This is what He Ping thought now. It has been a few days since he came to the territory of the Flame Demon Tribe and moved into the settlement area of ​​the Flame Demon Tribe. In the past few days, what he saw and heard here made him a little shaken about the common sense about half-orcs he had known before. This is completely different from the orc tribe he had known, completely different from the Black Falcon tribe he had stayed in before, and completely different from the situation he had learned from the elves and half-orcs.

First of all, the temperament of the orcs. Compared with the elves, the orcs are a martial race, which means that most orcs are more aggressive and prone to blood. If you have a little bit of trouble, you always like to solve it with fists. Even friends are very popular to use fights instead of greetings. He Ping has seen countless fights between orcs during the days he spent in the marginal settlement of the Black Falcon tribe.

Like the fight between two orcs, it is commonplace. Other orcs are not surprised. No one watches the battle or stops it. Generally, no major happens. If many orcs gather together to fight, the management personnel in the settlement may lead some people to stop it, but as long as there is no life, they will not be too careful when they stop it. If they really can't stop it, they will just leave it alone.

Injured due to fights is common, and there are even half-orcs who were seriously injured. The worst time, He Ping has seen several times in a group fight. Some half-orcs were beaten too far and seriously injured because they rushed too far and were beaten too much. Before they could be sent to the treatment place, they did not have time to use the soul lamp or He Ping took action, but they died because of their serious injuries. Faced with such a situation, the half-orcs did not have any special statement. They just buried them casually, and even the murderer was not sanctioned.

In the orc tribe, there is no need to say that young orcs are young, even the old and the children are full of energy and are careless in their words. However, in the Fire Demon tribe, everyone speaks in a quiet voice, without the boldness of the orcs at all. They are not careless and careless in every move, but are as if something terrible is staring at them.

If the temperament is still superficial, then after He Ping stayed for a few days, he found something deeper wrong, that is, living habits. When he was in the edge of the Black Falcon tribe, He Ping found that the living habits of the orcs were basically still in the primitive stage. The living utensils used were very rough and the food they ate had not been processed much. Just like meat, five-mature ripe is considered good, and many young people only eat three-four-mature ripe.

The same is true for other living habits. The orcs' residence is very simple. The better one is a stone house. The least one is wooden or thatched house. The same is true for dressing. There is no style at all. They just wrap coarse cloth or animal skins directly around their bodies. Like the orcs' children, they run around in the settlement area with their bare butts. Only when they reach the level of the warrior can they have a little decent clothes.

However, in this residential area of ​​the Fire Demon Tribe, all the orcs actually wear pretty good clothes from childhood to old age, and they are mainly fabrics. The houses they live in are obviously specially designed and built. They are not simply piled up with materials. The materials are mainly wood and stone. There are no simple thatched huts, and the food they eat is obviously more refined and they are all fully cooked.

If these can't explain anything, then another biggest difference is enough to make He Ping feel something is wrong here. The shaman wizard's status is very high, but the warrior is very ordinary. He Ping already knew this before coming here. After coming to the settlement area here, he personally realized how high the shaman wizard's status is. Simply put, it is almost the same. Even He Ping, an outsider, has a higher status here than the warriors.

What caused all this was another problem that He Ping discovered, that is, there was a religion in this orc tribe! The reason why shamans have such a high status is, on the one hand, of course, because shamans are very powerful, but that would only bring fear, but there would not be much respect. After all, orcs have been dominated by warriors for so many years, so most of the status of shamans is actually given by this religion.

There is no clear religious belief in the elves' civilization, and there is no belief in a certain god in the elves' civilization. Strictly speaking, the belief in the elves should be the eternal land where the elves were born. For example, the Nordo elves believed in the eternal tree Melianne, and the Vanya elves believed in naturally the eternal light Amastasha. As for the orcs, based on the information obtained in the Black Falcon tribe and the information obtained from the elves, the orcs had no faith, so naturally there was no religion.

However, in the Flame Demon Tribe, He Ping found that there was a religion called the Demon God Cult in this tribe, and the power of this religion is very great. It can be said that all the orcs in the Flame Demon Tribe are believers of the Demon God Cult. Therefore, the Flame Demon Tribe can be said to be ruled by this religion, and is basically in a state of unity of politics and religion. There is no strict distinction between the divine power and the regime, while the shamans are all clergy in this religion, so they are also leaders of this tribe, so they have such a high status and are respected by the orcs in the tribe.

According to He Ping's understanding, in the doctrine of the Demon God Cult, the main god who believes in is the great demon god Bar. Under the great demon god Bar, this Demon God Cult also believes in many other demon gods. These demon gods represent different fields. When the Flame Demon tribe carries out different activities, they need to go to the temple of the great demon god Bar and the temple of the Demon God in charge of related fields for prayer and sacrifice activities, and then they will carry out related activities.

For example, when they start a war and conquer other orc tribes, they go back to worship the war demon gods. When they go hunting, they will also go to worship the demon gods. All the demon gods are a lot, and ordinary orcs cannot remember all the demon gods at all. However, among them, the great demon god Bar is high and all activities require sacrifices to the great demon god Bar first, and then to worship other demon gods.

As for the orc pagans who are unwilling to convert to the Demon God Cult and who are believers of the Demon God Cult, they can be expelled from the tribe at the least, and executed directly at the worst. This is an absolute iron-blooded method, but for the believers, the Demon God Cult is also quite kind, just like the houses, clothes, food, and other living skills and good living habits that He Ping saw in the settlement area. These are the favors given to the believers by the Demon God Cult.

It was under such an offensive of big sticks and candied dates that the Flame Demon Tribe became a tribe completely ruled by religion, and the orcs in the tribe were very united and respected the shamans from the heart, because these shamans were able to communicate with the demons led by the great demons Barr, get oracles from the demons, learn new knowledge, make appropriate decisions, and lead the tribe to flourish and develop.

In fact, it is not just that. Although the Demon God Cult is only spread within the Flame Demon Tribe for the time being, and the believers are only from the Flame Demon Tribe, after He Ping summed up the situation he saw in the Black Falcon Tribe before, he found that the influence of the Demon God Cult may have expanded to other tribes around. Perhaps there are no believers, temples and clergy on the surface, but they must still have a certain influence in secret. Otherwise, the surrounding tribes would not have indulged the Flame Demon Tribe so much.
