Chapter 453 Culture Shock

Chapter 453 Culture Shock

'Healing array too? How the fuck did Tumko conquer this place?'

Varhan thought to himself and felt a bit baffled as he sat inside the array. The orc nurses got their cue from Sharog and fired up the healing array. Immediately, a cocoon of mana enveloped Varhan's whole body. It first extracted Borul's foreign mana from the injury before accelerating Varhan's healing process.

It didn't take long for the cocoon to draw out Borul's residual earth-element mana from Varhan's injury. Then it started working on the injury itself. The noise of bones creaking was heard before the ruptured tendons and muscles started mending. The dark green epidermis was the last to get fixed.

"All fine now?"

Varhan nodded to Sharon's question. She then motioned for him to follow her. The pair ended up in the same room they came from.

"Varhan, your fighting capabilities are unquestionable. So much so that it makes me wonder which sane tribe will let you go. Did you receive your clarity AFTER getting exiled?"

Varhan didn't know what to say to that question. He was glad she believed he couldn't speak. Otherwise, he would have been in a real pinch coming up with bullishittery right off the bat.

Varhan just nodded at Sharog thinking that there was no harm in doing that. The latter also flashed a pleasant smile before speaking further.

"That's good. I'm glad that Ulag invited you to our tribe. We'll talk about your hunting assignment next. I have a few jobs you can do in a group or solo. But judging by your battle style, I think you'd prefer solo hunting missions more. Here are some of the assignments I've shortlisted for you. Tell me which one you want."

Sharog started operating on the tiny array disk on the table and started using them to show Varhan where and what he was supposed to hunt. There was also a "how-to" included in that disk along with the list of items that were necessary for the hunt.

Sharog then made Varhan choose the hunting assignment he wanted. The latter nodded and pondered a bit after reading the hunts' descriptions over the spectral screens before zeroing in on a particular one.

The most convenient part about this assignment was that he didn't need to visit the camp until it was over. And the completion of the assignment would take many days. Plus, it could be revised to allow more time than stated so a better harvest can be obtained. The mission gave him the cover he needed to leave subspace and enter it when it suited him.

Sharog then handed him the mission-related array disk along with the mission's rations in a storage space artefact in the form of a ring. The dark-golden artefact had an orc head as its motif. The ring was inscribed with space-element runes.

Varhan was just about to leave after binding the ring to himself when he heard Sharog's next words which shocked him to his core.

"Varhan, want to copulate before you go off on your mission?"

Sharog's words felt more foreign to the butcher than the foreign mana itself. He almost spat out "I'm souwei?"

Souwei because he had a self-induced chopped tongue, which would make him speak like Ramy Richards. But he controlled himself and gave Sharog a blank expression, which wasn't difficult for him to do at the time.

'As I said earlier, don't look at monsters from the perspective of humans. If you had paid attention to the orc camp you had raided before coming here, their lifestyle would have been made apparent to you.'

Alephee spoke to explain but she felt like it had fallen on deaf ears. She then decided to just stick to acting as a translator for the butcher.

"Why are you looking like that?"

Sharog seemed confused. Then she looked at herself as if to confirm if she had lost her charm all of a sudden. This was an unexpected culture shock for the butcher but not unwelcoming. He just wanted to confirm a few things first.

'Alephee, how can an Orc Lord invite an Orc Leader to sleep with her? Is this a trap?'

Alephee responded quickly after.

'Monsters don't see hierarchies the way humans do. I think Sharog wouldn't have asked to sleep with you if she hadn't seen your performance just now. This is just the way monsters are.'

Varhan realised how naive he had been when he first had designs on Sharog. It never occurred to him that she would have designs on him as well after his fight with Borul ended. This was an unexpected harvest.

Sharog on the other hand thought that Varhan was prevented from copulating in his previous tribe because of his 'unawakened from slumber' condition. A condition she assumed he was relieved of only after leaving the tribe.

In monster societies, only strong men and healthy women would usually have copulating rights. It was meant to promote the birth of better offspring.

To be honest, even other humanoid rankers like humans, elves, and dwarves, along with each of their mortal populations, followed this rule. It was just that they were more discreet about it. On the other hand, monsters preferred not to use pretentious concepts as a smokescreen in choosing their partners.

Sharog saw Varhan nodding his head and flashing a smile. She didn't waste time and invited him to bed. The latter followed her lead.

'Damn. I have dealt with women who are stronger than me before. Nina is much stronger than even her. Yet I nailed her.

And she'll be a suitable test subject for my ability. Hehe!'

Varhan AKA Eren thought to himself and slept beside Sharog who had propped her head over her folded arm. She looked Varhan in the eyes while running her fingers across his body.

The butcher had stopped being passive about it a long ago. He too started teasing Sharog's body with his touch.

"You are a very interesting man, Varhan. Let's have a pleasant start to this day while satisfying each other. Hehe!"

Sharog then grabbed Varihan's monster dick by slipping her hand inside his beast-skin pants. There was no hesitation in her eyes and her movements. The butcher felt his dick getting large in Sharog's hand.

'Damn. This Orc Lord thought about doing it with me at this hour when the day had just begun.

Not that I'm complaining. This will be interesting!'

The butcher thought to himself and let himself get consumed by his desires.
