Lion King's Adopted Son

Twenty Four

“Really, these two people…” The patriarch looked at Pascal and Claire’s distant figures, and didn’t know what to say for a while.

“Do you think what they are doing is wrong, my child?” The wise man, who had woken up at some point, slowly walked to the entrance of the cave.

The patriarch’s brows have been tightly locked since Pascal and Claire left: “It’s too dangerous to go out in such a heavy rain. It’s hard to find food in this kind of weather, and they are not familiar with the mountain roads in this area, and if you’re not careful, you may fall off the cliff! Really, do those two guys know about this!”

Besides, it’s okay if Pascal goes, Claire follows What are you going to join in the fun? Shouldn’t she just stay in the cave with the baby?

“You underestimated their survivability.” The wise man shook his head disapprovingly: “I don’t think they ran out unprepared. When Pascal escaped to this mountain with me on his back, several times he was almost caught up by the flood, but he didn’t take a wrong step in such a critical situation, which shows that he is not as simple as you think.”

“Really? How did that guy do it?” For the wise man and the patriarch, there is no doubt that what the wise man said must be what he saw with his own eyes. However, the patriarch still felt incredible about this fact. If it didn’t rain, all orcs, even those who didn’t go out often, could easily find their way by the smell left behind.

But it was raining heavily right now, and the rain washed away all the smells around, making it difficult for them to identify the way by smell.

“Don’t underestimate your allies, Pascal can single-handedly break through the trap set by the city lord of Serantte and come to the territory of our orcs, there must be something special about him. Even the woman next to him named Claire also has strong survivability and hunting experience. Although you have inherited your father’s outstanding talent, you are still too immature compared to him. You have much to learn from him in the future.”

The patriarch pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Although the wise man’s words sounded unpleasant, he would no longer blindly reject it. In his actions these days, he has fully realized that he is far from being a good leader. There is no shame in recognizing one’s own inadequacies. It was because he saw these deficiencies that he had a direction to move forward.

“Wise man, in your opinion, why do Pascal and Claire have to take the risk to go out?” The patriarch humbly asked the old Asian orc for advice.

The old Asian orc squinted: “They may have realized something, maybe, this rain won’t stop so easily. You, if we don’t go hunting, how many days can our food last?”

“Save a little bit. If you eat it, you can still eat it for three days.” Speaking of this, the patriarch’s face was a little unsightly. These days, in order to save food, everyone has not eaten enough. If they encounter any danger now, they may not even have the ability to fight.

Originally, he never sent people out to hunt for food, because he thought the rain would stop soon, after all, the place where they lived had never had a continuous rainstorm for a long time. But now, looking at the sky where the rain did not decrease at all, he suddenly became less sure about all this.

The old Asian orc said: “Yes, if you save a little to eat, you will only have enough to eat for three days.” After a pause, he said: “The flood has not receded, and the rainstorm has not weakened. Our food is almost finished, what should we do…”

The patriarch’s heart sank slowly, and the wise man’s assumption had to be thought about. If Pascal and Claire’s judgments are correct, and if the wise men’s assumptions come true, once the food runs out, a disaster awaits them.
