Chapter 509 508 On the Snowy Mountain, There Are Many Bones
Chapter 509 508. Bones piled up on the snowy mountain
Due to the lack of anthropomorphism in their appearance, the three did not directly meet with the leader of the Qingye tribe, Wulin, but were represented by Sigrid.
"Who told you to attack the Lutal giant?"
Sigrid did not beat around the bush in the conversation, but went straight to the point. This attitude of questioning made Wulin and the elves accompanying him tremble.
Perhaps because he found that the three lords did not come in person, but asked the acting lord to talk, or perhaps because of his deep respect for the Dawn Territory, Wulin was silent for a long time, and then he responded tremblingly.
"They watched coldly during the invasion of the sea monsters, and did not think of the kindness of the three lords in giving the summoning template. Not only that, we also observed that they had multiple contacts with Maple Blood..."
The three people hiding in the main hall watching the projection could see that Wulin was becoming less and less confident in his words, because Sigrid, who was standing opposite him, had a cold face throughout the whole process.
The Lutal giants do not have much presence. As a local race that has also existed in the Red Flame Mountains for hundreds of years, they quickly declined after Maple Blood came here to escape the infected spirit. They survived in the cracks and have less than 100 people to this day.
Because the number of tribes has dropped sharply, they also have a clear trend of "magic deterioration", which is specifically manifested in the stagnation of their ranks, the lower starting point of their offspring, and smaller bodies.
As a hybrid of stone giants and mud giants, they are now less than four meters tall, and compared with the dominant species among giants, they can be regarded as underdeveloped dwarfs.
The version provided by Lu Yu can only be icing on the cake. The tall and burly giants can only use the mimic plants as warning devices, and cannot effectively cooperate with the mimic plants. Therefore, after the elves got the template amplification, Maple Blood attacked them many times and captured more than ten giants in a row as coolies.
The Lutal Giants were in a miserable situation. They had no room for maneuver. After being attacked by the Green Leaf Elves, they hesitated for a long time and came to the Dawn Territory with the last bit of sincerity they could show. They knelt on the ground humbly and learned to use human etiquette to beg the leader of order in their eyes to show some mercy.
Sigrid said: "The Lutal Giants contacted Maple Blood just to use their limited resources to ask for the few tribesmen back. This is their business. Why do you want to intervene?"
"They are making peace with Maple Blood!"
The memory of being dominated and abused by Maple Blood surged into Wu Lin's heart. The old man clenched his fists and said angrily.
The three people in the main hall sighed in unison.
Sigrid lifted the black cloth in the center of the hall. Half of it was stone and half was crystal. An irregular sphere similar to the size of today's three-in-one coal balls appeared in front of everyone.
Wulin's old face was wrinkled. He stared with wide eyes and stared in surprise for a long time, then turned his gaze to Sigrid's face, which was a little sad.
"There is no more Utar giant. It took out its heart and begged us to stop your violence."
This stone giant, who had witnessed the last magic tide and named his tribe after himself according to the custom of giants, was silent. Perhaps the stone giants were not good at talking, or they believed that there were no kind tribes in this world, and indifference and cruelty were the mainstream. Therefore, Lutar searched through the tribe before visiting the Dawn Territory.
Lutar, who did not find any gifts, finally looked at himself.
He knew the knowledge of humans, and knew that the heart of his tribe was a treasure coveted by alchemists.
Lutar didn't know that the Dawn Territory had never taken out its anger on them. Lu Yu and Sera could understand the decision made by the giants to protect themselves when they were outnumbered. As long as they didn't take advantage of the situation and lived up to their conscience, the Dawn Territory didn't mind continuing to be neighbors with them.
The Red Flame Mountains are huge, and the territory of the Dawn Territory has reached the limit of personnel management. What they need now is not expansion, but good management, and arming themselves with resources that continue to emerge from the land and under the land under the tide of magic.
Lutar didn't know this. He saw the sudden attack of the Green Leaf Elves, felt the other party's malice, and remembered the template he also got from the Dawn Territory, and his heart was gray.
Lu Yu and Lutar had only met a few times. This tall and majestic giant was always reserved and cramped. After entering the Dawn Territory, he didn't even dare to look at them. He always buried his huge head very low, as humble as a bug.
Lulu once said that Lutar didn't look like the head of a clan, let alone a giant. His courage might not be as big as a mouse, and he didn't show his courage.
At that time, Lu Yu also wanted to tease Lutar, but for some reason, he swallowed his words back... Perhaps he saw the pitiful cautiousness in Lutar's eyes that sparkled like gems.
The moment she saw Lutar's heart, Lulu apologized for what she had said.
She suddenly understood the humility of this big man... There was a whole tribe standing behind him, and this tribe could only rely on him.
If it weren't for being desperate, who wouldn't want to hold their heads high?
"Who asked you to do things under the banner of the Dawn Territory!" Sigrid emphasized, "Like to guess what we mean... Wulin, do you really think that the Qingye tribe is a vassal of the Dawn Territory?"
"I... I... I'm not..." The uneasiness that once appeared on Lutar's face appeared on Wulin's face. He was incoherent and didn't know how to defend himself.
"Can I think that you attacked the giants with your own selfish motives, and later said that it was for the good of the Dawn Territory to evade us?"
One question after another was thrown in front of him, and Wu Lin panicked.
"I'll give you a mission."
Lu Yu's voice echoed in the conference hall, which cheered up Ulin's spirit - the three lords were still observing him, maybe they would hold different views?
Unable to wait for Lu Yu to speak, Wu Lin argued: "We just hope to repay the kindness of the [Mimetic Monster] provided by the Gluttonous Lord. This summoning template is very important to us. It can be said to have eased the situation between Qingye and Fengxue. It really It has no other meaning!”
"I just believe that you have no selfish motives, but Lutar asked us for help with his life and put a gift in front of you that we can't refuse. The Qingye clan should do something."
"Lords, please make it clear!"
Because he was secretly thinking about it and acted arbitrarily, Wu Lin, who almost offended the leader of Chenxi, was so frightened that he blurted it out almost instantly, completely unaware that he acted like a frightened minister.
"Find a way to get the giant slave captured by Mapleblood."
"this……"
"If you only have this way in your mind and can't even think of other methods, I don't think there is any need to get new templates from me in the future. As for the templates you have... I can let you use them. , and it can also make them full of loopholes. You shouldn't think that Maple Blood can't defeat the mimic summons and dare not go deep into your territory, right?"
Lu Yu emphasized: "What exactly are they afraid of? Do you need me to make it clear?"
Chief Wulin quickly bowed and said yes. He was sweating coldly and did not hear the glutton's voice anymore. Then he raised his head tremblingly and looked at Sigrid beside him.
"Please, Patriarch, complete this small task as soon as possible." Sigrid made a gesture of invitation towards the door with a smile, and saw off the guests with a polite etiquette that could not escape any mistakes.
Lulu was silent in the main hall of the central control room, Sierra was thoughtful, and Lu Yu used his tentacles to pick up the dried fruits in the tray next to him, and casually gave a few to Xiao An under him and Xiao Guang beside him.
"These guys are so good at brainstorming. Try to be more clear in future conversations." Lulu sighed.
"It's useless. No matter how clear you say it, they will still think there is a mystery behind it. They think that the part you didn't say is what you really think in your heart. Moreover, these people who have awe engraved in their minds will naturally elevate us. Try to seize every opportunity to tie yourself to the chariot of the Dawn Leader."
Lu Yu stuffed the dried fruit towards Lulu, but unexpectedly heard Sera complaining.
"Why did you slap me in the face and poke me? Lulu is on top!"
"Oh, do you want to eat it?"
Sera snorted and swept away the dried fruits. Lu Yu could only get another tentacle to feed Lulu.
"Ah~~~ So we can only let them make up their minds?"
"What can't be stopped can only be left to them... I know you think Lutar's death was not worth it, but you shouldn't think so, because he did everything a patriarch can do, and the giants will remember him. Don’t you feel sad for him too and go out of your way to help the giant family?”
Sera murmured: "Yes, some people have something in common with Lutar, so they can especially understand his sacrifice."
"What are you mumbling about?"
"It's nothing. I'm just thinking about how to make good use of that heart. Vanessa left the manufacturing manuscript of the Demon-Breaking Crystal Giant. Maybe we in the Dawn Territory can have another fearsome doll...Give me some dried fruit, Out of reach."
Sera tried her best to extend her tentacles, but she couldn't reach the tray on Lu Yu's side. The tip of her tentacles could only shake helplessly up and down in the air.
"I don't know who refused to feed me just now... Ouch, it hurts."
"It hurts, it hurts!" Lulu also shouted, "Don't scratch, we are one and the same. Hitting him is like hitting yourself!"
"Isn't it said that the body of the tentacle is particularly strong? Why does it feel so clear when I hit myself?" Lu Yu raised the plate of dried fruits but refused to give it to Sera.
"Have you forgotten how my tentacles 'opened' the eyes of the monsters on the way back to Mera?" Lulu said proudly, "You are satisfied with the anti-defense effect package... Don't shake it, I can't get it anymore, Sera, don't Hurry, let me feed you!"
Hearing this, Sera's tentacles softened and drooped on Lulu's body like a kitten scratching.
The mist demon rolling in the room looked at this wonderful scene and was deeply shocked.
"This should be a sight that can only be seen in the Dawn Territory." She thought this way.
"Dong dong dong."
"Come in," Sera shouted, chewing some dried fruit.
The person who pushed open the door was Xiao Niba, who went to Broken Gold City with the battle team to purchase elf slaves.
Little Niba, who had made great achievements in summoning, gradually became cheerful after integrating into the life of the Dawn Territory. She emerged from the haze of the tragic death of her tribe and was deeply loved by everyone.
Who wouldn’t love that big, fluffy tail that can be used as a scarf?
Her tragic experience made her quite familiar with the slave trade process, so with her assistance, the group in Broken Gold City went very smoothly and found more than twenty slaves that met the requirements that day.
"I'm getting more and more capable... Oh, there are a lot of dried fruits on the table next door. Can you put them in your cheek pouches and keep them for nibbling?" Lulu greeted quickly.
Little Niba waved his hands repeatedly: "No, I actually want to tell you a strange thing that I heard in Broken Gold City."
Broken Gold City and other city-states of all sizes form a buffer zone between Solon and the Church, and also define the farthest range of human power in the southwest of Mela - Mela is not included, because to this day, all tribes in Mela believe that Dawn Territory is just a large manor hanging in the corner of the edge, and its overall number does not meet the standard of a power.
Just as Xiao Niba was bargaining with the slave traders, he accidentally heard the merchants who traveled through the Molten Mountains and crossed the Snow Mountain to the Church discussing the "empty tombs" that were often seen along the way.
I don't know who excavated the ancient tombs. There are rumors that tombs have been dug and corpses have been stolen in many city-states around the border of Broken Gold City. Some even described that they saw a team of bones and rotten corpses marching in the black woods from afar when they were doing business at night, accompanied by blue ghost lights and transparent spirits flying together, just like an army of undead marching.
Among these rumors, the most bizarre one came from a merchant from the Theocracy who had been walking in the Great Snow Mountain for a long time.
Because they were from the Theocracy, their entire caravan was proficient in light magic, which also gave them the honor to live to tell the story.
While carrying a large amount of medicinal materials over the Great Snow Mountain, the Theocracy caravan accidentally saw groups of spirits and skeletons on the hillside of the snow mountain. They swayed around a floating blue fire and moved forward quickly.
Perhaps it was the vitality in the team that attracted them, and this group of monsters that were supposed to go in two directions with them suddenly rushed towards the caravan.
At first, the guards in the caravan fought back with light magic, which had a good effect, but for some reason, after a certain moment, the light magic hit the spirit and caused ripples, as if it was swallowed by nothingness, and the bones could even transform the light magic into a layer of dark barrier.
Deep in the deserted snow-capped mountains, the sound of bones rubbing against each other continued. The surviving merchants claimed that they had seen the most terrifying nightmare in the world. Looking up, the white bones merged with the snow-capped mountains, and only the faint phosphorescent light flickering in their empty eye sockets revealed their figures.
After entering the city-state, the merchants of the Church who had escaped by chance told everyone that there were mountains of bones on the snow-capped mountains. However, the adventurers who went to the mountains bravely went to search but found nothing. In the end, everyone suspected that the merchants of the Church were trapped in an illusion because they encountered the cedar spirits living on the snow-capped mountains after suffering from snow blindness.
"How can there be bones on the snowy mountains? The dead on the snowy mountains are all ice sculptures that remain intact. You are a bunch of fools who are suffering from hallucinations."
Amidst the laughter, the merchant of the Church State angrily put away his Xianglin Sao attitude that he always told everyone. However, the listener was attentive. Combined with some witnessed grave digging scenes, Xiao Niba felt a chill for no reason.
The three fell into silence. After a long time, Lu Yu gave an order.
"The combat team sends a team to investigate near the snowy mountains."
