Chapter 1823 Lord of Stone
Medea and Camilla have the best friendship, and when she noticed Joan's dislike for her, she asked in surprise, "Why can't you think about offending our master mage?"
"I just called him 'Cinderella', and he ignored me, how stingy..." Camilla looked aggrieved.
"Oh... that's no wonder." Medea nodded thoughtfully, and then said a few words to Camilla: "You deserve it, disappear!"
"Damn it! Both of them are cheapskates!"
The snake queen had no choice but to walk away resentfully.
Joan did not dare to take Camilla lightly, for she would not be allowed to pretend to go away. In fact, she secretly set up the "Eagle Eye" to eavesdrop, so she took out a small piece of lead from the spell-casting material bag, and cast the 5-ring arcane "Mage's Chamber of Secrets", Create a space that isolates sound, sight, and prophecy spells, and envelops all participating members of "Rock Essence Camp", "Garden Township" and "Silent Palace".
In the "mage's secret room", everyone can talk with confidence. Joan told everyone the spell to summon the "Secret Box", and then exchanged information, and finally everyone reached a consensus: Considering the tauren's enthusiasm for building mazes, the venue for this survival competition is likely to be It is located in a huge underground labyrinth.
At this time, two beams of teleportation light rose from the square, and Qiao An temporarily suppressed the "Mage's Secret Room" and came closer to observe the new participating teams.
First of all, five giants in gray robes were transported over collectively. They were no less than 12 feet tall, with gray and dark complexion, and strong physique. Their well-defined facial features and muscle lines were like marble sculptures.
"These stone giants are from Blimir. The leader is the 'Lord of the Stone' Gaelrod, followed by the four stone giant elders. This team is very strong, and the voice for winning is only Next to Oaknell's Zall team."
Klein introduced to Joan in a low voice.
Qiao An looked curiously at the five stone giants who were as tall and mighty as iron towers. The other party noticed his gaze, but turned a blind eye. There was neither sadness nor joy on his dull face, neither the willingness to deal with them nor the expression of disgust. .
The order (caste) of the "stone giants" in the giant society is only higher than that of the hill giants. In addition, they have the blood of the earth subspecies, and most of them live in dark areas where the sun is not visible. The habitats of creatures lack intersection, so they often give people the impression that they have no sense of existence.
In fact, mainstream giant races such as hill giants, frost giants, fire giants, cloud giants, and storm giants also live in the surface world, and they rarely have the opportunity to deal with stone giants, their distant relatives who hide in the underground world, and there is no benefit. Therefore, even in the giant society, stone giants belong to the "marginal group" with little sense of existence. They are regarded as "hermits" and "stone carving artists" who are far away from disputes. Their political influence in the "giant court" is not even as good as A lower but more active hill giant.
The stone giants are not lacking in strength. The reason why they lack a sense of presence is actually the result of their active choice.
Stone giants may be the closest to "pacifists" and "ascetics" among all giant groups. They advocate a rock-like, quiet and permanent lifestyle. The glitz and disputes of the surface world are like dreams and emptiness in their eyes. A life of drastic changes is nothing more than a disguised form of self-destruction, a hasty end to a short life, leaving no lasting value in the end.
So what is the eternal value in the eyes of stone giants?
Most stone giants would give the same answer. Stone sculptures, no matter how strong the stone sculptures are, will eventually be eroded by time and turned into gravel. At least they are more durable and more real than the "dream of the floating world" in the surface world.
"Gairrod is called the 'Lord of Stone', but it doesn't mean that he is the lord of the Dungeon of Brimir. In fact, he is just a young nobleman of Brimir. The 'Lord of Stone' is actually an earth-type It is an advanced profession unique to subspecies of creatures. It develops its own blood power while improving its martial arts, and awakens a variety of powerful earth spells." Klein continued, "Gairrod is a level 10 stone lord. As for him I don't know if the four stone giant elders next to them have the professional level of 'Lord of Stone', but they all have the ability to cast earth-type spells, but the number of spells they master is far less than that of Gaelrod."
"In other words, these stone giants not only have the fighting skills and natural brute force of high-level fighters, but also have the spellcasting ability of earth warlocks. No wonder they are recognized as one of the strongest participating teams."
Joan thought for a while, and then asked Klein: "Just now you said Gaelrod was a 'young nobleman', but look at his... well, mature and stable face, he really doesn't look like a young man. "
The dwarf brother chuckled: "It is said that Gaelrod is not yet 300 years old. If we measure the average life span of our dwarves at about 400 years, 300 years old is considered an old man, but brother Joan, you have to know that the stone giant But among all the mainstream giant races, the longest life expectancy is as high as 800 years, and by this standard, Gailrod is indeed only a young man."
Qiao An twitched the corners of her mouth, deeply feeling that the average life expectancy of contemporary human society is less than 50 years old, what a shame!
"Mr. Klein, regarding the stone giant, I have another question. The stone giant is a subspecies of the earth system, but the information I have read about the stone giant does not clearly indicate whether this creature has the ability to 'burrow' , Gaelrod, can they swim freely in the formation like Robin Hood?"
Klein stroked his bushy beard, pondered for a long time before speaking.
"Brother Joan, it's inappropriate for you to compare the stone giant with Kaorui Jing. The rock spirit is really suitable for comparison with the stone giant."
"The rock elves have the blood of the earth subspecies, but only a few rock elves are good at escaping from the earth. The same is true for the stone giants. Only a very small number of gifted stone giants can fully develop their earth blood and awaken to escape the earth after adulthood. This special ability."
"As for Gaelrod and the four Stone Giant Elders..." The dwarf brother smiled slightly, "Do you think Brimere Dungeon will send mediocre talent to participate in a survival contest that is about the survival of the homeland?"
"It's true!" Joan suddenly realized.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, since Gaelrod and others are more or less good at some earth-type spells, it means that they have put a lot of effort into developing their own earth-type blood talent, so of course they should also be good at escaping the ground, which is very important for maze explorers. A huge advantage, can directly bypass the obstacles and traps on the ground.
