Villain With The Strongest System - Chapter 278

Chapter 278: Marriage Proposal
Buhara’s victory came as a great relief to the citizens of Tramak-Tor.

They had never really seen a Battle-Mage in action before and never knew that an Orc could fight with methods beside their raw physical strength and power.

Since Orcs were born with excellent natural strength, most Orcs spent their entire lives polishing just that one natural talent.

The goal was to grow stronger and to develop one’s muscles to be one’s greatest strength, however, this approach naturally had its limitations.

Not everyone could keep getting stronger without hitting their genetic strength ceiling sooner or later, and with every other Orc around being also solely focused on strength, one lost the advantage of being powerful in battle, since everyone else was powerful too.

Being less dexterous and less intelligent than other species like humans, elves, demons and vampires, the orcs never truly explored the route of becoming mages, which was why Buhara was a trailblazer within his community.

His performance of taking down the venomous snake today through a combination of magic and raw strength was witnessed by a majority of the residents of Tramak-Tor, and amongst them were small orc children who felt inspired from this event.

“Mother, mother! I want to become like that orc there when I grow up! He’s so strong and so amazing! So much better than dad–”

“Mmmphh, I know son….. I wish he was your dad…. Just look at those wide shoulders that he possesses~ I bet he can wrestle me with them all night~”

“Huh? Mom, why are you drooling?”

Buhara’s performance impressed the kids and made the ladies wet in their privates.

Many single ladies from the village of Tramak-Tor tried to flaunt their busty figure at the Victorious Hero, trying to catch his attention, however, Buhara was not the kind to easily waver.

Soaking in the view without any shame, he checked out every pair of breasts that were put forward on display for him, however, did not give recognition to any.

Like a true stud, he played hard to get, as after defeating the snake, he went up to meet the village chief of Tramak-Tor and ignored all the distractions.

“You… Buhara, son of Chief Ohara, you are our village’s savior” Chief Chinwik said, as he expressed his gratitude towards Buhara for defeating the snake.

“Please, let us host a grand banquet tonight in your honor, but first please excuse us, for we need to draw some water from that lake–” Chief Chinwik said, as Buhara stopped him dead in his tracks.

“Chief Chinwik, although Buhara accepts your gratitude, I am afraid Buhara can’t let you draw water from that lake yet.

As although the snake is dead, the water within is still poisonous–

Before using it, you must cleanse the water, for which you need to call upon either a paladin or a healer” Buhara said, as only then did Chief Chinwik realize that although Buhara had defeated the snake, the contamination that it had already caused was not going to disappear overnight.

“B-But my villagers need water today. We haven’t had anything to drink in days–” Chief Chinwik complained, as he helplessly pointed towards his own parched throat.

“You can borrow the water from Toruk-Tor lake for today, but you must detoxify your own lake by tomorrow.

Pay a healer if your village doesn’t have one, or send a climber belonging to your village to the tower to buy a few vials of detoxification potion from the alchemy shop….” Buhara suggested wisely, as Chief Chinwik immediately accepted his proposal.

“If it’s like this, then we won’t need to fight the neighboring village for their water!” Chief Chinwik said in joy, as the villagers all cheered in unison behind him.

Just like that, Buhara solved the water crisis for Tramak-Tor village and also solved the border tensions that the Goruk-Tor village was having with them.

As he returned to Goruk-Tor, recounting his tale of valor to his father Chief Ohara, his father began crying tears of pride and joy at how sensible and mature his son had become.

Overnight, Buhara became the hero of not only Tramak-Tor village but also of Goruk-Tor village, with people of both villages holding him in high regard.

Naturally, one of the benefits of being hailed as the hero was that women from both villages started to throw themselves at Buhara, however, the only woman that Buhara had eyes for was his childhood crush Sohara, who he finally decided to seek out today.

*********

At the same evening, as Sohara was washing clothes outside her hut, Buhara shyly approached her, with a procession of giggling teenagers following him from a distance.

From the blush on Sohara’s face, it was evident that she had heard about Buhara’s approach before actually seeing him, however, she pretended to be engrossed in her work and did not look-up to face Buhara up-till he called for her.

“Hey, Sohara, I’m back…” said Buhara, rubbing his nose, as only then did Sohara look up.

“Oh? If it isn’t Buhara the hero….” Said Sohara, her tone being one of sarcasm mixed with awe.

“Buhara is no hero…. But Buhara is an Orc eligible for marriage” said Buhara, as he did not waste time beating around the bush and cut straight to the chase.

Loud Giggles could be heard in the background, as naughty kids found this entire situation to be very funny, however, both Buhara and Sohara did not pay them any attention.

“Oh? I’m sure many girls in the village will be dying to marry the Hero Buhara…. Why tell this to me?” Asked Sohara, as she stood up and faced Buhara face to face.

In no way was Sohara the most beautiful orc in the village, nor was she the strongest. However, it was her unique temperament which had charmed Buhara since he was a child and now that he was of age, he still hadn’t been as attracted to another woman as he had been to Sohara.

“Yes, there are many who wish to marry Buhara, however, Buhara only wishes to marry you.

In this past year, Buhara has missed you a lot and if you will take me as your mate, Buhara will like to miss you for life” said Buhara, as he officially proposed Sohara for marriage.
