Doomsday Code

Chapter 870 Snow Order

"In that case, have you never thought about leaving this harsh northern border and living inland?"

Chen Cheng asked.

The deer-orc girl gave a wry smile and said:

"We orcs are alright here in the North, except we are discriminated against and cannot live in human-inhabited cities."

In addition, we have animal blood, which makes us more resistant to the cold than you humans. At the same time, the warriors of our tribe can go out to hunt monsters in the wilderness and exchange their fur for living supplies.

Moreover, if we're lucky, we might encounter a bigwig from the city coming to the clan to recruit people, and we might even get a job that isn't too strenuous.

So although life was tough, we were still able to make a living.

But when we went inland, the people there treated us like monsters, and they would turn us into slaves if they saw us. So, who would want to be a slave when they could live freely?

She was right, Chen Cheng nodded and said:

“I’ve heard that there are many orcs living beyond the Wall in the North. Since you’re being discriminated against here, why don’t you go and seek refuge with them?”

Chen Cheng asked a seemingly stupid question, but normally, people from the inland would say the same thing when talking about the Northern Wall and the orcs.

Because the Great Wall in the northern inland region has almost become an unfamiliar term, the only thing that comes to mind is the military fortress defense line built between the two countries.

Even in such a border fortress, there are still places where border markets facilitate trade.

Therefore, Chen Cheng's question is very reasonable.

The deer-orc girl was also somewhat surprised that Chen Cheng knew about the Northern Wall, but upon hearing Chen Cheng's question, she knew that Chen Cheng only knew the name.

"Sir, you jest. There is no place along the Wall in the North where the two sides can communicate, and the Wall is also a military cordon. How could we dare to approach it?"

"Moreover, those orcs living outside the Great Wall have little to do with us; we are just orcs."

Chen Cheng could hear the resentment the deer-orc woman held towards the orcs beyond the Great Wall in her words.

At the same time, Chen Cheng knew that this was all the information he could get from her. Although it seemed useless, Chen Cheng still carefully memorized it.

By then it was already evening, and the church members living next door to their courtyard began their evening prayers.

The sound of them chanting scriptures reached Chen Cheng's ears through the wall.

At that moment, Sheli pushed the door open and came in from the outside.

"Son."

Chen Cheng stood up and said to the deer-orc woman beside him:

"Thank you for chatting with me. After you've prepared dinner, you can eat with my sister first. I have to go out for a bit."

Then Chen Cheng addressed the Snow Maiden, who was playing with the other half-orc women in the courtyard:

"You stay here and do your job. Sheli and I have to go out for a bit."

"I heard you. Be careful when you go out."

The two pushed open the door and left the courtyard, walking through the corridor and straight out of Baiya Residence.

"Have you found out everything?"

Chen Cheng asked.

"I've found out everything. As long as I take the key to the high-class accommodations of Baiya Residence to the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, the steward of the City Lord's Mansion will take people to see the City Lord."

"But these past few days, because church people have been coming, only we have the keys."

Shortly after Chen Cheng and his companion left, the gate to their courtyard was knocked on again. When the deer-orc woman opened the door, she saw a woman with a seductive figure and alluring appearance standing outside.

"Miss, who are you looking for?"

"Is there a man named Brown living here? I've come to find him."

Upon hearing that the visitor was looking for Chen Cheng, the deer-orc woman apologized.

"Please wait a moment, Miss, while I go and inform them."

The orc woman didn't immediately tell the woman outside that Chen Cheng had gone out, since she didn't know if the snow maiden who was still there knew about this woman.

"It's alright, go and inform him that the people from the Snowfall Order have come to see him."

She left the door slightly ajar, and then the deer-orc girl went to the backyard to find the snow woman and told her what had happened.

After hearing this, the Snow Woman's eyes darted around, wondering if she should play a trick on the person who came from outside.

However, she also knew that Chen Cheng had come to the Northern Border on important business. Just as she was struggling with this, she thought of something and took out a map from her spatial bag.

When the map is folded up, the back forms a snowflake pattern.

The Snow Woman knew where the picture came from, and she thought to herself, "Could it be that someone has come to settle accounts?"

Then she said to the deer-orc girl:

"Just tell the person outside that Brown has already left."

The Snow Woman didn't want to attract attention because of this; she hadn't forgotten that she was still an ice and snow elf.

Once you're being targeted by such an intelligence organization, who knows if they'll investigate you thoroughly and then harbor malicious intentions?

Upon hearing the deer-human mother's reply, Fei Xin's expression changed, and her alluring aura transformed into a more charmingly naive one. She then slapped her forehead and exclaimed:

"This is terrible, I have to go back and find my older sister."

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly turned back to the deer-beastwoman and said:

"If you see him return, please tell him to go to Piaoxue Pavilion in the city immediately, or he and everyone around him will die."

After saying that, Feixin hurriedly left.

The deer-orc woman was working here, so how could she not know what the Snowdrift Pavilion was? When she heard Feixin's words, she thought that a girl from the Snowdrift Pavilion had come to visit.

Thinking of Chen Cheng's gentle smile, she could never connect him with someone who didn't pay after doing *that*.

There was nothing she could do; after all, Piaoxue Pavilion was in that business, and when it came to matters of life and death with them, the only thing she could think of was not paying them afterward.

So, just in case, the deer-beastwoman told the snow maiden what Feixin had said.

At that moment, on the streets of Engela City, Chen Cheng suddenly sneezed. Seeing this, Sheli, who was beside him, asked with concern:

"Young master, are you too cold? Why don't you buy a few fur coats to keep warm?"

The closer you get to the north in the northern border, the lower the temperature becomes. The temperature in Engla City, where they are now, is twenty or thirty degrees lower than in the wasteland they entered the northern border before.

Chen Cheng and his group had not prepared any warm clothes for coming to the Northern Territory. Relying on their strength, they did not feel particularly cold along the way.

Chen Cheng waved his hand and said:

"No need, I'm not cold yet. Maybe someone is cricketing behind me."

The two arrived at the city lord's mansion.

The city lord's mansion here is no ordinary mansion. Even though this is the harsh northern land, it is almost as grand as the royal palace that Chen Cheng saw in the capital of the Kingdom of Mos.

Chen Cheng knew that this city was built by the Engra Kingdom itself, and the fact that they could put so much effort into building such a magnificent city lord's mansion was enough to prove the strength of the Engra Kingdom.
