A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

Chapter 624: Decay

"legend?"

Lupinus's expression turned strange when he heard Wu Yue's question.

"I heard that the status of albino orcs in the alliance is somewhat... different?"

"Well...it is true that this is happening in the current alliance...but there are some complicated reasons involved."

"Let me guess. The version you heard is that there is some kind of curse on the albino orcs, which is why they are rejected by all clans..."

Wu Yue didn't admit it right away, but Lupinus was right. He heard it from Moon...

Seeing Wu Yue agree, Lupinus continued:

"First of all, this statement has been circulating within the Alliance for a long time and has become a consensus among almost everyone. This is an established fact and can be found out by asking any orc living in the Alliance."

"So, is it true? Curse or something..."

"No, no, no. Although this matter seems to be the consensus of all orc clans, only the core members of the clan know the truth... No, it's not very accurate to say that. I can only say that they know more than the general public."

"Albinism is a normal phenomenon. It is also recorded in ancient books. Just as other hair colors always appear among orcs, white hair is not a curse, but only a rare hair color..."

"It's strange to say, but in the beginning, no one in the alliance rejected white hair. Some even admired it. In ancient times, it was believed that albino orcs had noble bloodlines. Legends even say that albino orcs were regarded as royals."

Huh?

Lupinus' words caught Wu Yue completely by surprise.

"In fact, if you have heard of the name 'Pale Fang'... ah, sorry, I forgot you are from outside..."

"No, I have heard of Helka the Pale Fang, the former chief of the White Frost Clan."

"That explains it. According to the old man, Lord Helka is an albino wolf-beastman, which is also the origin of his nickname... After transforming into a beast, he is like a pale hurricane, sweeping across the battlefield and reaping the lives of the enemies."

"If that's the case, then why is the current alliance trying so hard to exclude albino orcs?"

"Lord Helka lived more than 150 years ago. At that time, the Alliance did not discriminate against albino orcs..."

"Wait, you mean, the legend about the hair curse only started a hundred years ago?"

“…That’s right.”

Lupinos confirmed.

Can a belief that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years be changed in just a hundred years?

Seeing Wu Yue's dazed look, Lupinus continued:

"Although the league has never officially given a standard conclusion, I am only expressing my own views after years of investigation."

"Considering that the alliance's top brass has been riddled with holes by humans, it is highly likely that our human opponents are deliberately smearing us, and they chose to do so at a time when a leader like Lord Helka passed away... Their intentions are truly vicious."

Taking advantage of the alliance's lack of talent and leaderlessness, planting undercover agents and sowing discord...

Bai Ye finally understood.

Carrying out large-scale cultural invasion and infiltration, subtly changing the nation's cognition...is indeed a trick that some humans are quite good at.

"So...what is the Alliance doing about this? Just let it go?"

Wu Yue was silent for a moment, and finally asked.

"...It's not that the alliance doesn't want to manage...it's that it doesn't have the ability to manage. I've also said that the alliance is already like this, and the internal consumption is extremely serious. Many policies require the approval of the leaders of each race, otherwise they can't be implemented at all..."

Wu Yue didn't understand politics, but after hearing Lupinus's somewhat helpless explanation, he began to understand some of the difficulties of the alliance.

The tribal alliance system is truly a double-edged sword.

On the one hand, due to the relatively independent management of different races, human infiltration cannot be fully taken into account.

But on the other hand, because of "independence", different ethnic groups constrain each other and find it difficult to change.

"I just want to ask, those albino orcs...what was the fate they faced at that time?"

"Most of them were expelled from the settlement...Those in high positions were also sidelined, replaced...and murdered little by little over the past hundred years..."

"..."

"Faced with the situation at that time, it was inevitable to cut losses despite the pain. If it were me, I would do the same."

Lupino said frankly.

Sacrificing the small to protect the big was the best decision the alliance leaders could make at the time.

Bai Ye couldn't help but sigh.

The same thing keeps repeating itself in history.

Isn’t the same true of the feud between elves and dark elves?

However, the grudges that lasted for thousands of years were not as complicated as they are today. After all, even humans had not yet entered the stage of history at that time.

"I see."

Wu Yue finally calmed down and said.

No wonder Moon's attitude towards the alliance...

There is really no fairness at all.

At least it has nothing to do with the "justice" represented by the goddess Minerva they believe in.

"I will continue to keep an eye out for clues. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

After saying that, Wu Yue stood up and left.

"Walk slowly."

It wasn't until the little figure left the room that Lupinus put his signature smile back on his face.

Although Wu Yue didn't say it, he had already guessed something.

After all, the question was there, and Wu Yue's identity was obvious.

However, the other party does not seem to be prepared to keep it secret forever.

Maybe in some big occasion in the future, we will have the chance to see something shocking?

Maybe, this stone will really stir up a thousand waves...

The opportunity for alliance change is coming.

......

"Master, at first I thought Moon's attitude towards the alliance was a bit too much... Now, I think I understand her..."

Wu Yue walked on the street with his head down, feeling depressed.

"This matter cannot be blamed on anyone, it's just a matter of intrigue and deception."

"The Young Wolf Master has probably guessed why you asked this question, and is ready to take advantage of this opportunity to take action against this corrupt alliance..."

"really?"

Wu Yue didn't see anything that profound.

"This Lupinus is a good leader. Who knows, he might be able to keep the alliance alive this time..."

Everything will be revealed naturally when the feast of all races is over.
