Pastor's Tantra

Chapter 534 Goblins and Trolls

Aiwass attaches great importance to the information given by the trolls.

He did not talk to them on the busy street, but specially took these trolls to a more secluded place.

Considering that coffee was basically shipped from the southern continent, Aiwass did not take them to the coffee shop. Instead, he took them to a restaurant owned by a Star Antimony man, asked for a private room, and ordered a large amount of roast pork - half a pig directly.

The trolls were clearly flattered by this. Even in the Theocracy and even the elves, not everyone has much patience with trolls, let alone a relatively equal attitude.

"I know your history fairly well."

Faced with the stammering questions of the young troll priest, Aiwass replied calmly: "I can trade with you. But it's best not to try to deceive me."

——Of course, Aiwass doesn’t actually know much about the troll race. After all, the players had never set foot in the Southern Continent back then and knew nothing about this land where trolls and goblins were born.

He does know the history of the trolls, but he only knows their origins, and knows nothing about their culture, customs, and politics—if troll civilization really has these things.

For example, trolls and goblins are actually species born in adjacent areas in the same era.

These are all races with rhinoceros-like rough and thick skin, windy ears, and hooked noses. Although some are extremely tall and have fangs, and some are extremely short and have fine, flat teeth, they are essentially the same. Can be considered a close relative.

Even they were born for the same reason.

That is the "creation" of the beast master.

Trolls are a beastly race created by beast masters in imitation of giants, while goblins are a beastly race created by beast masters in imitation of dwarves.

The path of love has the power to create life, just like the womb giving birth to life. Witches create werewolves, and children of the moon create new children of the moon. The dripping essence of the moon can also create phantoms called "monsters." The first fairies are spirits born from mountains, lakes, and forests.

When the Path of Love was still called the Path of Beasts, the Beast Master also had this ability.

He once created at least a hundred species of beasts - the first twenty species were collectively called the "noble species"; the countless grotesque ones in the middle were known as the "inferior species"; and the last twenty species were simply the opposite species. There are already racial imitations. Today there are not even ten of these created races left, but there are still a few that remain.

——The southern continent is the "petri dish" of the beast master.

He piled all his creations together. And after "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 beings, 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 the goblins are very smart, so they were recruited as slaves by the trolls... Today's troll language and various sacrificial procedures all come from the creation of the goblins.

Soon these more intelligent and cunning goblins learned the art of navigation.

They escaped from the southern continent controlled by trolls and scattered 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 - their bloodline is contagious.

No matter what kind of blood, whether 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.

Logically speaking, the troll is an optimized version of the giant. The beast owner specially reduced the size of the trolls and strengthened the vitality of the trolls so that they would not compete with each other for food.

But the optimized troll took a completely different path from the prototype giant... it was ruined.

It is precisely because of their strong physiques, rough skin, and strong vitality that even if they are decapitated, they will not die. They can kill all wild beasts with their bare hands, ignore most poisons, and are naturally proficient in "witchcraft" and "curses." Trolls are basically immune to most diseases, so they are not afraid of rain, and mosquitoes cannot bite their skin. And such a terrifying 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 understand planting, construction, or animal husbandry. The only way to obtain meat is to rely on hunters.

Because the products of the tropical rainforest are rich enough, even so, they can easily support these trolls. Therefore, more than a thousand years have passed, and the trolls have never become extinct on the southern continent, but their civilization still remains in the state of primitive society.

But the goblins came back, and through more powerful technological products, trained road abilities, and accumulated wealth, they in turn ruled the southern continent and became the masters of the trolls.

But the goblins do not have their own country, so their behaviors are not uniform... Some goblins will do business with troll tribes in exchange for fragments of ancient technology, and some goblins 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 owners 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... didn't keep his promise. He took my grandfather away and brought him to the Theocracy. Someone told me. We are smart and don't have a curse. My father said... no more. I said I want what I want, so just tell me. coming."

After communicating with him for a while, 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 other ritual masters of their tribe the blood of Aiwass, 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 did not intend to chase him back. But he was stubborn and wanted to rescue his grandfather, so he secretly boarded the 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...
