The Orcs :- 2

After checking the fruits one more time Claude waited for a few minutes looking in the direction of the orcs. After a while, when two hours passed, he took the trolley and started walking towards the same location as before.

Seeing Claude coming, the orc leader also started walking towards the same location as before with some big bags on his shoulder.

When they both came face to face Claude was first to say :-

" As I said we don't have much but a few thousand fruits would be enough to go by till you cross the two mountains with a little hunting."

When the orc leader heard that he had a satisfied smile. He would have survived the crossing of mountains by hunting beasts but with the amount of people with him the amount of food required also increases severely and the evolved beasts won't like it when such a great amount of hunting happens in their territory leading to battle. With the help of fruits and some minimal hunting they will be able to cross the mountains where the amount of normal beast is in abundance.

" I don't know anything much I can give you but during our travels some human groups were fighting for this. I thought that you would know something about it." When he said he opened and threw one of the bags from his shoulder and wooden planks fell from it.

Claude's eyes glittered with greed when he understood why those people were fighting for it. This wood was equivalent to sandalwood in Claude's past world. Just that this wood was extremely rare in this world and needed at least a few hundred years to completely grow. According to the book Claude had read this wood is used to make high quality chemical free perfume as well as it used by alchemists to make some good quality and unique potions. In short even a single plank of this wood would make 50 silver emperions. And there are at least 60 to 80 wooden planks.

" Yes, this wood doesn't have much use to us but in the human market it will make quite a good sum to satisfy both the farmers and soldiers." What Claude said was the truth. Soldiers make 3 silver emperions annually. Which is equivalent to 300 bronze emperions. 1 silver emperion is equivalent to 100 bronze emperions. While farmers hardly make 1 silver emperion. Even if they gave each soldier and farmer 1 silver emperion they would be satisfied.

" Alright, you can keep these wooden planks then. If you remember I asked whether you are a healer or not and you said you were. I want you to check the members of my tribe and heal them. Especially kids." Claude was taken aback by this request because going within a group which might or might not be hostile is something risky. After all, even though Claude thought that the orc leader was a good man, he was still a man who Claude had met just a few hours ago.

Seeing the hesitation in Claude's eyes the orc leader misunderstood something and said :-

" I am not asking you to do it for free. As long as you are willing to do it I am willing to pay the price. If you don't want to, you can always reject it." The orc leader said with a gentle smile.

" …...Fine, let's go." Seeing the innocence in the orc leader's eyes Claude finally decided to agree. After all even though they were strong rankers they were not magic users and Claude was especially special as he was awakened as well. Claude also wanted to see the difference between orcs, humans and beasts through healing as well as he wanted to see what more this tribe has to offer. He was not being reckless and greedy at all. Probably.

When the orcs saw Claude walking within them they looked at Claude curiously while some were showing hostility; a single glare from the orc leader sent chills down their spine.

" This is my wife and my son." The orc leader said pointing at a woman who can be considered beautiful from the orc standards and a small one in the hands of that orc woman child who looked at Claude or stranger curiously.

" How old is he ?" Claude asked.

" 6 months old." The orc leader replied leaving Claude amused. Even though it's hard to tell the growth of a child, the orc baby looked at least 1 to 2 years old from human standards. Humans in this world are considered adults when they reach the age of 17. Their nearly half years are required for an orc to grow into a complete adult.

Claude went towards the orc baby first and casted his tier 1 healing spell.

" Heal "

Seeing that the orc baby was healthy with a bit dull but a light pink core there was not much he can do through healing.

" What does he eat ?" Claude asked the woman who was clearly cautious of him. She had been staring at him like a predator from the time he came near her son but Claude was not intimidated, instead he felt warm and sad inside. Warm due to the motherly love and sad because this love reminded him of Ellen.

" Milk, even though he has gotten teeth they are still weak, that's why we don't give any children anything except milk until they grow a year old." The orc woman explained.

" Yes, I understand but they should be given something that can fill their stomach too. Milk is in the liquid causing their digestive system to become used to milk. When you directly give them something else to eat their stomachs will have problems to create enough digestive acids to digest it resulting in some health issues. Though as you are orcs you might recover from it easily. I will still recommend you to give them meshed fruits mixed with milk for two reasons." He continued.

" First childrens have sensitive tongues so if you give them a single ingredient their tongues will get used to it and will have problems accepting new tastes. Second, they will get nutrients outside from milk which will help them grow without any problems and build a strong body foundation which will help them grow. Third, they won't have any digestive issues, even though I don't know much about an orcs body structure, nutrients and proteins are never enough for any and every living being." Claude finally concluded while everyone looked at him with a blank expression. Claude was confused at first but then he recognised what he had done. What he says is already hard to grasp for normal humans but orcs are simply muscle brains.

" In short, I should give the younglings meshed fruits with milk from time to time to improve their future growth." The orc woman said.

" Yes, " Claude replied, flushed. Cursing himself for not being able to control his mouth.
