Chapter 1276 Snakeman

Medea noticed that Joan was obsessed with observing the statues displayed outside the cave door, so she stopped and introduced the origins of these "artworks" to him.

"All the guys I turned into stone statues are not good things."

"Those seven dwarfs, who claim to be miners, are actually a gang of thieves trying to dig a tunnel and steal into my cave."

"There are also those subterranean gnomes who think they are smart, thinking they can sneak in with a few simple illusions and take away money that doesn't belong to them. Now they know that they are wrong, but it is too late to wake up."

Medea folded her arms on her chest, with a sneer on her lips, she turned to look at a half-human, half-snake stone statue.

"As for those snakemen, they are all bandits under the old black dragon Janus. They tried to invade the Temple of Silence. Of course, I didn't let them succeed."

"So this is the snake man..." Qiao An nodded with some understanding, "I have seen illustrations of the snake man in the literature of the school library. It is said that this half-human, half-snake monster is divided into three sub-categories. Among them, the one with a human body and a snake head is a 'hybrid snake man', and the one that only retains a humanoid torso and arms is called a 'demon snake man'."

"That's right, there is also a pure-blooded snake man, whose appearance is almost exactly the same as yours, but if you look closely, you can still see subtle snake-like features, such as a longitudinal crack in the pupil, a forked tongue, and a hole at the base of the ear. Few scales."

Medea went on to say: "These three kinds of snake people have different blood endowments."

"Pure blood snake people are the most cunning, full of ghost ideas, and have stronger spellcasting talents than the other two kinds of snake people."

"Half-blood snake people are not as clever as pure-blood snake people, and their talent for casting spells is also inferior, but they are stronger than pure-blood snake people."

"The demon snake man is the stupidest of the three snake men. He is savage and almost a beast. He has the worst talent for casting spells. His strengths are his strong body, fierceness and combativeness."

"Medea, you seem to know the snake people very well."

Joan glanced at the head of the sorceress, and countless white snakes hung down like silver hair.

The snake man and the snake-haired banshee are both "humanoid monsters". Joan suspects that there is a blood relationship between the two, and they may have a common ancestor.

"Joan, don't associate me with the snake man, we are two completely different creatures!"

Medea saw what the young mage was thinking, and gave him a reproachful look, obviously disdainful of making a relationship with the snake man.

"Just in the northernmost part of the abyss, near the great rift of Jotunheim, a group of snake people settled down, claiming to be the heirs of some ancient empire, and the cowhide is so annoying!"

Medea said angrily.

"It's not that the snake people are bragging. In fact, as early as the prehistoric era of the world of Vales, before humans, dragons and giants became the rulers of this world, the snake people were indeed the oldest aborigines in this land. One, and indeed once established a powerful snake empire."

Joan stroked his chin, recalling the historical documents he had read in the library.

"However, with the changes of the times, the Snakeman Empire has also turned from prosperity to decline, and finally collapsed. Now we can only examine the glorious civilization of this empire in the very few surviving ancient ruins."

"The two things that the snake people are most proud of are that their ancestors were once very powerful, they conquered a vast territory, and established a huge empire. The second is that they were born with arcane blood. It was invented by the ancient snake man archmage."

"Some extremely conceited snake-man scholars even claim that our human ancestors first learned spellcasting skills from the snake-man, and inherited the magical heritage of the snake-man empire, which is why today's human civilization was born. From this perspective, all Human arcane spellcasters can be regarded as the spiritual successors of the ancient snake man scholars."

"Of course, there is no convincing evidence for this statement. The current mainstream view in the academic world is more inclined to believe that elves are the mentors who lead humans to contact and systematically learn arcane knowledge. Perhaps our ancestors also asked the snake people I have learned arcane art, but it is certainly not as powerful as elves' influence on humans."

Medea listened with great interest to Joan's story about the snake man's history, and made a rather harsh evaluation afterwards.

"The ancestors of the snake people may be very brilliant, but their descendants have long since fallen into ruin. Even the magic inheritance they are proud of has been mostly lost. I really don't understand where they come from to be so arrogant."

"Listen to you, the snake people in the north of the abyss are hostile to the Palace of Silence?" Joan asked Medea.

"It's complicated to say."

Medea's face became a little gloomy.

"A long time ago, when the place where the snake people settled was still called the 'Abyss Snake Cave', they acted relatively low-key. Although these guys were not very likable, they would not take the initiative to come to my door to trouble me."

"It's a pity that such a good day is gone forever, since the old black dragon Janus Bloodstone and his idiot son Li Xini broke into the Abyss Snake Cave, conquered the snake people, and renamed the Abyss Snake Cave"Abyss Dragon's Nest', this force has become more and more domineering, and the threat to the surrounding areas is also increasing day by day."

"I do hate the snake man, but if there is no black dragon behind the snake man, the snake man would not dare to trouble me, so in the final analysis, the father and son Janus and Li Xini are the ones I hate the most!"

Speaking of this, a strange blush suddenly appeared on Medea's face, and she leaned into Joan's ear and whispered: "Both the father and son have proposed to me, and they both know about it, and they publicly expressed that I don't mind."

Joan was dumbfounded.

It would be understandable to say that the father and son fell in love with a woman at the same time, but from what Medea said, the father and son seemed to be only greedy for her beauty, and had no real feelings at all, forcing her to be a mistress It's too much, and the father and son don't even mind sharing a mistress, it's almost morally bankrupt.

Medea snorted coldly, with a face full of embarrassment, and said bitterly: "So, every time I think of that pair of lecherous father and son, I can't help but feel sick!"

Joan looked at the sorceress sympathetically, but didn't know how to comfort her.

Medea forced a smile and took his hand.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these troubles. Do you still remember the pair of petrified lizards we caught in the navel of the mining area? The gray bird was responsible for raising them and took good care of them."

"The female lizard has laid several eggs and they are hatching. Let me take you to see them."

"OK."

Joan couldn't bear to see the sad look on Medea's face, so she stopped inquiring about the Heilong father and son, and accompanied her to visit the petrified lizard.
