Ride and Cut

"As far as I am concerned, the nature of the Titans can be regarded as very kind." Chief Saitos shook his head and showed a bitter smile, "But in the face of the cruel proposition of survival, where can we have the conditions to act rashly? I always have to make choices that go against my heart."

"Please continue." Facing such a heavy history, even Richard was unwilling to comment lightly.

"When the earth-shattering disaster swept through everything, Titan briefly led the coalition forces to retreat to the other world for refuge. But the increasingly low tide of elements finally forced them to come to the New World again." Saitos put his hands on his knees, with a look of nostalgia on his face, "Everything went well at first, although the environment of the New World was almost destroyed. However, before Titan left, he brought enough crops and populations, and sooner or later he could rebuild this place into a beautiful homeland, which is actually a hopeful era. "

He looked at Li Cha for a pause, and his tone gradually became serious: "But as time goes by, one hundred years, two hundred years, three hundred years, five hundred years. We Iron Giants, watching the originally normal suzerain, colleagues, and subordinates become weird little by little! Their faces gradually distorted, their eyes began to scarlet, and their tempers became more weird, crazy, and unreasonable."

"Until one day, I discovered that they were actually fighting and devouring each other under the cover of night, and everyone didn't take it seriously. I finally realized that the unprecedented spiritual storm might not have completely subsided, but turned to a more hidden way—but it was too late!" The iron giant's big hand pressed the ground, and the gnarled oak roots couldn't bear the force, and collapsed inch by inch.

Li Cha took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, and asked in a deep voice in disbelief: "Even the Titans are evil?"

"I really don't want to slander the former suzerain of the giant race!" Every sound that came out of Chief Saitos was as heavy as a thousand-pound weight. Huge teardrops dripped from the corners of his eyes, before they could form, they were wiped away forcefully without hesitation.

This hill-like stalwart creature's eyes were red.

At this moment, his heart is not stronger than ordinary people, and he must be suppressing unimaginable pain.

"In fact, Titans are the top magical creatures in the known category, and their ability to resist bad conditions is amazing."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Li Cha bought a cotton cloth in the system store.

This bolt was enough cotton to make a whole family of bedding, and barely enough to be used as a handkerchief by a giant when shaken.

"It's definitely not a good thing—most of the intelligent races that migrated from the other world along with the Titans have turned into crazy monsters who have lost their minds." Saitos wiped the wet corners of his eyes, and then blew his nose vigorously. "Only the Titans, with their exaggerated and excellent resistance, still retain a lot of sanity in the face of spiritual erosion."

"But they can't be completely unaffected. Although their brains still exist, their personalities have been completely distorted, becoming tyrannical, cruel, bloodthirsty, and losing all the good qualities they once had! Think about it, what is more terrifying than irrational monsters?"

The lord could only let out a long sigh at this - if there is anything in this world that is more terrifying than an irrational monster, it must be a rational monster.

It is no exaggeration to say that the aborigines are monsters based on their dark history of breaking promises, farting promises, and trying to catch refugees on the test bench. But what the titan did was not to fight against the monster, but to turn himself into a monster.

"Li Cha, you probably can't imagine how flustered my clan and I were in the face of all this back then. When everyone was gradually degenerating, the Iron Giant, who was born to resist spiritual erosion and was not affected in any way, gradually became a different kind, and it was difficult to get along with other people." Chief Saitos said with a sullen face, "Sometimes even the Iron Giant himself can't help but doubt whether it is the whole world or ourselves that are at fault."

"Being evil is probably like being drunk. I will never feel it." Li Cha held his chin thoughtfully.

"A very appropriate metaphor." Saitos nodded again and again, "After the Titan became evil, he claimed to be a god and divided his people into five categories: priests, nobles, warriors, commoners, and slaves. As blood descendants, the upper giants are actually the most noble priests, but in this case, the Iron Giant can only choose to exile himself, so I came to this crater closed to the outside world with my tribe, and closed the door to live by myself."

The lord heard an amazing news from the words of the iron giant in front of him—he was not the second generation born in the new world, but the old man who migrated with the Titan back then.

That was at least tens of thousands of years ago!

The giant's life is really long, even if it has been sleeping for most of these years, it is amazing enough. It is no exaggeration to say that his existence itself is a living history book.

"Later, after the elves empire in the other world was destroyed, some elves came from the other side. The gods split them up and sent them to the priests as subjects, and some of the beast elves were assigned to the iron giants. We were pleasantly surprised to find that—because the tiger elves came here for a short time, and the power of the psychic storm was weaker than before, so although they became a little bloodthirsty and warlike, overall, they are still rare normal people in this distorted world."

"No wonder." Li Cha nodded clearly.

He felt that these tiger spirit styles were a bit too fierce and violent, and he didn't even inherit the temper of an elf. It turned out that it was because of some external influences.

"The feeling of facing the entire deformed world alone is too bad, so the iron giants decided to protect them, even as companions." Chief Saitos said.

"How to do it?" The lord couldn't help being curious.

He already knew that the Iron Giant itself had the talent of "steel mind", but it seemed that it could only protect himself well, and he couldn't get even rain and dew at all-otherwise the Titan shouldn't have turned evil in the first place.

Chief Saitos suddenly regained his spirits: "During the long time of being stationed alone in the Twilight Forest, the iron giants have not been idle. We found that the Twilight Forest seems to have a very special geographical endowment, and there are six natural stone caves. As long as there are more than 20 iron giants sleeping in each of these six caves, our talents can be stimulated to form an invisible barrier with a certain degree of spiritual protection!"

"I see." The lord nodded in understanding.

This kind of thing is not too bizarre. Occasionally, under extreme coincidences, natural terrain will have a more magical effect than alchemy props.

"It seems that we can still sit here and drink, all thanks to the hard work of the iron giants."

"You'd better not be too happy." Chief Saitos drooped his eyebrows and blinked at Li Cha twice, looking a little unnatural.

"When we iron giants are active, we can even survive without eating at all, and only rely on absorbing elements to survive. But once we fall into a deep sleep, we need to consume iron to replenish our body. About two or three pounds per person per year is enough. All two hundred clansmen add up to only five hundred pounds per year."

"This amount is logically not much, but the minerals in the Twilight Forest are very scarce. Iron ore is even rarer than gold!"
