Chapter 533 Goblins and Trolls
Chapter 534 Goblins and Trolls
Aivas took the information given by the trolls very seriously.
He did not talk to them on the busy streets, but took the trolls to a more secluded place.
Considering that coffee was basically shipped from the southern continent, Aiwas did not take them to the coffee shop. Instead, he took them to a restaurant run by the Star Antimony people, asked for a private room, and ordered a lot of roast pork - directly ordered half a pig.
The trolls were obviously flattered by this. Even in the Church, or even the elves, not everyone has much patience for trolls, let alone a relatively equal attitude.
"I know your history well."
Faced with the young troll priest's stuttering questions, Aiwas replied so calmly: "I can trade with you. But it's best not to try to deceive me."
- Of course, Aiwas actually didn't know much about the troll race. After all, the players had never set foot in the southern continent back then, and they knew nothing about this land where trolls and goblins were born.
He did know the history of the trolls, but he only knew their origins, and knew nothing about their culture, customs, and politics—if the troll civilization really had these things.
For example, trolls and goblins were actually species born in the same era and in adjacent areas.
These races all have rough, thick skin, protruding ears, and hooked noses like rhinos. Although some are extremely tall and have fangs, and some are extremely short and have fine and flat teeth, they can essentially be considered close relatives.
Even their births have the same reason.
That is the "creation" of the beast master.
Trolls are a beast race created by the beast master to imitate giants, and goblins are a beast race created by the beast master to imitate dwarves.
The path of love has the ability to create, just like a womb giving birth to life. Witches create werewolves, and moon children create new moon children. The essence of the moon can also create phantoms called "monsters". The original fairies were spirits born from mountains, lakes, and forests.
When the Way of Love was still called the Way of Beasts, the Beast Master also had this ability.
He had created at least a hundred kinds of beasts - the first twenty kinds were the result of his hard work and were called "noble species"; the countless strange and bizarre ones in the middle were called "inferior species"; and the last twenty kinds were simply imitations of existing races. Now only one in ten of these created races survive, but a few still survive.
——The Southern Continent is the "cultivator" of the Beast Master.
He piled all his creations together. And after the "forbidden fruit", they completely lost control. After a hundred years of extreme chaos, each occupied a piece of territory.
Because in the cold weapon battles of low-level extraordinary people, physique often plays a decisive role in combat effectiveness. The height difference between trolls and goblins is nearly five times, and the possibility of goblins resisting trolls is even smaller than that of humans resisting giants. But goblins are very smart, so they are recruited as slaves by trolls... Today's troll language and various sacrificial procedures all come from the creation of goblins.
Soon, these smarter and more cunning goblins learned the art of navigation.
They fled the southern continent controlled by the trolls and spread to various continents. Relying on business, research, stealing, and imitating the skills of other races, the goblins quickly grew up and became a race that cannot be ignored.
Most importantly, goblins and trolls have one thing in common - that is, their blood is very contagious.
No matter what blood they are mixed with, no matter whether they are male or female, the children born by goblins are goblins, and the children born by trolls are trolls. It often takes eight or nine generations of continuous blood immersion to gradually blunt some of their racial characteristics.
And this obvious racial commonality makes the goblins scattered around the world become extremely united.
In theory, trolls are an optimized version of giants. The beast master specially reduced the size and strengthened the vitality of the trolls so that they would not compete with each other for food.
But the optimized trolls took a completely different path from the prototype giants... playing badly.
Because of their strong physique, rough skin, strong vitality, and the fact that they may not die even if their heads are cut off, they can kill all wild animals in the wild with their bare hands, ignore most toxins, and are naturally proficient in "witchcraft" and "curse". Trolls are basically immune to most diseases, so they are not afraid of rain, and mosquitoes cannot bite their skin. And such a terrible race actually lives in large groups.
Such a powerful race cannot have any natural enemies in the fertile tropical rainforest.
Because of this, the trolls do not know how to plant, build, or raise livestock, and the only way to get meat is to rely on hunters to hunt.
Because the products of the tropical rainforest are rich enough, even so, it is easy to support these trolls. Therefore, after more than a thousand years, the trolls have never been extinct on the southern continent, but their civilization is still in the state of primitive society.
But the goblins came back and ruled the southern continent in turn through more powerful technological products, trained Tao ability, and accumulated property, and became the masters of the trolls.
But the goblins don't have their own country, so their behaviors are not uniform... Some goblins will trade with the troll tribes in exchange for fragments of ancient technology, while others will rob or cheat.
The same goes for plantations and the troll trade. Some trolls were taken away by violence, some were sold by their own tribe, some left voluntarily, and some were ignorant and deceived. There are still a few powerful troll tribes entrenched deep in the southern continent, and they are generally hostile to goblin traders.
The trolls who are obviously not slaves but can learn human language can only be the priest class within these troll tribes.
If they can see the wanted notice and get the bloody pursuit mark, it means that the people trying to hunt Aiwass come from the southern continent - from that land full of terrifying beasts and even monsters that have not yet been extinct. A barbaric land inhabited by goblins and trolls.
...It seems that after the beast master abandoned the trolls, did some trolls turn to Xiong Tiansi?
While waiting for the hungry trolls to devour their food, Aiwass propped up his chin and thought seriously.
That's reasonable.
For these races that lack wisdom and are accustomed to violence, it is not surprising that they believe in the Supreme Heaven that controls the way of power.
After all, even elves would rarely go to the southern continent to preach.
Aiwass even doubted whether the trolls knew that there were nine pillar gods, and that Xiong Tiansi was no longer the Supreme Heaven long ago...
Soon, the three trolls were full.
——These three powerful giants with an average height of more than two and a half meters and bulging muscles were full after eating only half a pig without knowing how long they were hungry... The pig was not even that big. .
Of course, it is also possible that they do not dare to eat too much in a strange environment to avoid losing vigilance; on the other hand, traces of transformation from the beast owner can also be seen. Compared to giants, trolls don't need nearly as much food as giants of the same proportion.
"Can you tell me now?"
Aiwass held the scepter in his right hand and said leisurely: "What do you want me to do? Why does it have to be me?
"——Also, about me being wanted. Remember to explain everything clearly."
"We came to the Theocracy to save my grandfather."
The tan-skinned troll replied, "He was taken."
"Your grandfather?"
Aiwass became slightly interested: "Did the owner of that store just capture him?"
According to the characteristics of the priest class passed down from generation to generation, his ability to learn human language means that he is at least the first few children of the high priest. Then his grandfather should also be the former high priest.
How could such a powerful transcendent be captured by goblins?
They just stopped Aiwass at the entrance of the Goblin Store... Could it be that they have been lingering in front of this store, having something to say but not daring to go in?
"Not goblins. Humans."
The troll emphasized: "It's... human."
He made a famous gesture, pointing at Aiwass, and then at the diners outside.
Then he picked up the stone and said intermittently: "This... is also what he gave to us. Let us curse you. Just return my grandfather to me.
"He... did not keep his promise. He took my grandfather away and brought him to the Theocracy. Someone told me. We are smart and there is no curse. My father said... no more. I said I want what I want, so just tell me. coming."
After communicating with him for a long time, Aiwass gradually understood.
A powerful man who was well-known among them went deep into the southern continent and captured an old priest. Then he gave the blood of Aiwass to the other ritual masters of their tribe and asked them to curse Aiwass and then return the old man to them.
But these trolls are not purely stupid - especially the priests. Being able to learn multiple languages shows that they still have some brains. His father did not dare to mess with that human being and had no intention of chasing him back. But he was stubborn and wanted to rescue his grandfather, so he secretly boarded a freighter and smuggled over. When he was about to arrive, he jumped off the ship and swam over.
They originally wanted to save the people themselves, but these three trolls were all young people. After arriving in the Theocracy, I couldn't speak to the people here, couldn't understand the landmarks, let alone where the people were. So they decided to hunt Aiwass... Since Aiwass was the man's enemy, it meant that he might know where the other person was.
Aiwass's evaluation is: a bit of brain, but not quite, but still a bit.
"...Could it be the remnants of the Noble Red?"
Aiwass narrowed his eyes and murmured in a low voice: "Humans...humans who serve Xiong Tiansi?"
In the eyes of giants, humans are food.
Does that bear really have human followers...
