The Record of Orc Civilization

Chapter 355 Two Secret Meetings (2)

Moku rested his head on the soft pillow, gazing at the beautiful wooden ceiling before him, his mind wandering through all that had transpired that day.

Moku's eyes closed. Even though he was cursed to find no peace after passing through the second evolution gate, he had found another way to rest his mind.

Moku always believed that every living being depended on others. If he lacked something, someone else surely possessed it.

There were two ways to acquire something one didn't possess from others: trading through a barter system or compelling someone to relinquish it through coercion. Moku favored the latter approach.

Thus, if he couldn't sleep for his entire life, he would find a way to seize the sleep of others.

[Dream Walking]

The dragon prana within Moku's body stirred, connecting with the stored Orb Intent in his chest. He activated Pandava, his mind entering the Mind Realm while his body remained in the Astral Realm.

Stepping into the hundreds of thousands of interconnected thoughts in Pandava, Moku walked amid them. Each connection linked to every arion who had previously connected their minds to Pandava.

From here, Moku could glimpse every citizen of Wilwatikta Kingdom and pinpoint their exact location. Not only that, he could be present in their minds and communicate directly.

But this wasn't Moku's objective this time. He didn't just want to send thoughts and messages; he wanted to manifest his Mind Body in the dream of someone currently asleep not far from his physical location. Moku strode into his dream, entering it without much difficulty.

If the person possessed dragon prana or a strong mental power capacity, this might not have been so easy. Unfortunately, this individual was a cowardly hobgoblin who would tremble at the sound of his voice.

Typically, dreams were abstract and vague. However, with the power of [Dream Walking], Moku could make the dream more vivid. What happened in this dream might even influence reality.

So, if Moku killed the dream's owner within the dream, they would die in the real world too. With [Dream Walking], Moku wielded a power akin to Freddy Krueger's.

Even more dangerous, [Dream Walking] was nearly impossible to detect. Thus, tracking down a [Dream Walking] murder perpetrator was nearly inconceivable, unless investigators could access the archives in Pandava. Unfortunately, Pandava belonged solely to Moku, and no one could find anything within it without his knowledge.

Moku altered the dream according to his desire. He chose the Family Haven as the meeting place and invited the dream's owner into it, settling comfortably on his throne.

While Moku couldn't create the forms of his wives in this dream, he could mimic the bustling sounds often heard in the Family Haven. Perhaps he was a bit sentimental, feeling the longing for his family.

For several days now, he hadn't returned to his estate or reunited with his family in the Family Haven.

A figure materialized within the Family Haven, and his eyes widened as he looked around. It was a hobgoblin who currently didn't wear a single thread on his body.

His body appeared emaciated, as though suffering from malnutrition. Dark circles were under his eyes, but most prominent was the limp weariness visible between his legs.

It was Ez, the Prime Minister of Wilwatikta Kingdom.

Moku waved his hand, and a splendid robe enveloped Ez's form. Ez's bewildered attention shifted to Moku, and he ceased his confusion with a nod, as if saying, "It all makes sense if this person did it."

"How are you, Ez?" Moku asked casually.

"I'm perfectly fine, Your Majesty. You, too, look as healthy and handsome as ever. I'm delighted to see you again, Your Majesty," Ez began with praises that lacked even a hint of sincerity.

The inner eye indicated that Ez was currently cursing Moku with his smile. And looking at Moku's face was an agony he didn't want to experience again. He also wished Moku would die quickly and leave this world without anyone to replace him.

"Thank you, Ez. Are you truly well? You seem quite thin and lacking rest. Aren't the elves treating you well?" Moku asked, paying no heed to what his inner eye was translating.

"Ah, Your Majesty. Thank you for your concern; I'm deeply touched. The elves have been treating me very well, providing anything I ask for. But I have a wonderfully kind and beautiful wife. It's a blessing for me to be married to her, all thanks to Your Majesty's generosity."

Ez's words were beautiful and full of praise. Anyone listening would feel happiness and flattery.

Unfortunately, once again, the inner eye translated it differently. Currently, Ez was cursing Moku for providing him with a woman who have sex addiction for a wife. As a result, he couldn't rest because he had to satisfy his wife's desires every night.

Just when he thought he had a chance to rest, the cruel king dragged him to this place, disturbing his sleep. If only Ez had the power or courage, he would have challenged Moku to a fight of 100 rounds right now.

"Hahaha, well then, that's good," Moku chuckled.

"Hahaha, thank you, Your Majesty," Ez said, translated by the Inner Eye as "Fuck you!!"

"Ez, is there anything you'd like to report?" Moku asked with seriousness.

Ez also shifted to a slightly serious tone, "At the moment, there's nothing, Your Majesty. Everything is proceeding as planned, and as I anticipated, the appearance of the arion species has caused divisions within the Elf Alliance. If there are no issues, soon Aquanorin will be our first target. However..."

"Oh? Is there a problem?"

"No... it's not a problem with the plan, but it seems their target might change," Ez explained.

"Change? Are you saying they no longer expect you to lead the rebellion in the Wilwatikta Kingdom?"

"Correct, Your Majesty. Perhaps this is my mistake, but I myself can't confront that person properly. Forgive my weakness..." Ez lowered his head.

"Who is this person?"

"She is Aquanorin Princess, Seraphina Maris."

Moku remembered the beautiful Princess who had burst into the throne room during the meeting with King Aquaenar.

"What makes you feel incapable of facing her?" Moku asked.

"She's too beautiful, Your Majesty. I feel that if I allow her to get close, I won't be able to resist the influence of her beauty," Ez answered honestly.

"Oh?" Moku was slightly surprised.

Moku had known Ez for a long time, even when he was still an orc undergoing crazy training. Ez was an extremely peculiar man, as if he had a sexual desire level akin to a eunuch. So initially, Moku thought Ez was a sterile man.

The only reason Ez married Rada was because Moku forced him to. Otherwise, this man would have chosen to sleep alone in his room rather than engage with his beautiful wife. This was why Moku had never felt jealous when his wives were close to Ez.

However, when a woman could capture Ez's sexual attention, it was quite intriguing to investigate. Did this mean that Ez was falling in love with Seraphina, or perhaps there was another reason?

"Hmm... If that's the case, our plan might not succeed..." Moku murmured.

"Not necessarily, Your Majesty. Aquaenar wants the success of this plan more than we do. He will surely seek other targets besides me, and with the arrival of the 'Prince,' I'm no longer as needed," Ez explained.

"Oh? So, you mean next, Seraphina will try to control me, is that it? No wonder she looked so pleased when I challenged her to a duel," Moku nodded.

The revenge drama over Raiden's death orchestrated by Seraphina was laughable to Moku. Through his Inner Eye, he could see that there was no sadness or hatred from Seraphina towards him at all.

In fact, she seemed quite delighted when Moku looked at her with eyes filled with desire. As if she hoped Moku would ravish her right there in the middle of the throne room.

"Perhaps she thinks that since the arion species greatly values strength, by showcasing her abilities to you, you will become more interested in her," Ez said with a smile.

This time, Inner Eye translated Ez's smile as genuine. But this was understandable as Moku himself felt like laughing at the thought.

How amusing it was to try to seduce an asura (orc) with the bait of a beautiful woman.

It was like trying to approach a lion by offering it a hand. If the lion didn't get the whole body, it would at least get the hand.

There was a reason why orcs were known as the "Kings of Sex." They had extraordinary stamina, and their seed had an effect equivalent to aphrodisiacs.

Moreover, this effect would multiply several times over when an orc evolved into an Asura.

An asura could turn any woman into a "Baby's Carrier." Their bodies would change not only physically but mentally, focusing solely on how to bear more asura babies.

Perhaps only a Mana Child like Nevare could control the brainwashing effect. But Moku didn't sense any similar mana activity within Seraphina's body, which meant she wasn't a Mana Child.

So, precisely when Seraphina had dallied with Moku, there was no other option for her but to become Moku's slave.

Moku could only smile and shake his head, "If that's the case, then there won't be a problem, right?"

Ez also smiled, "Of course, Your Majesty."

Next, they delved into other matters, mostly revolving around the governance of the Wilwatikta Kingdom and their future plans. After all, Ez's primary role was that of the Prime Minister of the Wilwatikta Kingdom. As a wise king, Moku couldn't simply let him off the hook.
