Chapter 113: The Ingenious Use of Illusion Doppelganger
No matter their size, every ogre is a big eater.
Fortunately, they aren't picky; even the rations the soldiers carried with them were eaten with great joy.
Their faces showed expressions of happiness and smiles, and everyone could feel their genuine delight.
However, the violent appearance of the ogres in battle still served as a reminder to everyone.
No matter how gentle they are during a meal, one should never forget their ferocious side.
What everyone found interesting was how the female ogres took meticulous care of their young.
They gave the food to them first, and once the young were full, they gathered them in the safest middle, eating themselves only after.
Then, the female ogres started fighting each other over food, astonishing everyone once again.
Lazy yet violent creatures, a complex contradiction!
Matthew naturally understood what was going on; the care for their young was engraved in the ogres' genes and instincts.
The other two behaviors were more influenced by their intelligence, which averaged below 5 points.
For a smart little fellow like Yagron to exist, it was unlikely that even 100,000 ogres would produce one like him.
Yagron widened his eyes, curiously staring at Jifan in front of him.
The latter wore a faint smile on his face, holding a small dried fish that Yagron loved!
Why did Yagron love it?
Because he had just tasted it!
"Fish!"
Jifan pointed to the dried fish in his hand, slowly pronouncing the word.
Smacking his lips lightly, savoring the delicious sweetness of the dried fish, Yagron tried hard to open his mouth and utter the clumsy Common language:
"Fff..."
"Fish!"
"Fff..."
"Fish!"
"Fish!"
Under Yagron's delighted gaze, Jifan happily handed him the dried fish.
Watching him eat it in one bite and chew carefully, Jifan then took out a piece of black bread from his backpack.
He wasn't doing this for fun but rather because it was a task assigned by the mysterious arcane master!
Jifan, ever meticulous, was determined to seize this opportunity!
Not just for himself but for his sister!
Although the hope was slim, Jifan absolutely would not give up easily!
"Investigate how large this devil's root patch is and arrange for people to patrol it."
"Especially keep an eye on the direction of the troll camp; if anything major happens, report to me immediately."
Matthew instructed Alice with a few words before entering the tent they had set up, quickly sitting down cross-legged.
He began to meditate!
The method for restoring mana through illusion doppelgangers was almost the same as with the original body; in the absence of combat threats, meditation was the best way to restore mana.
