"Personally, the Titans are very kind by nature. Grand Chief Setos shook his head and smiled bitterly, "But in the face of the cruel proposition of survival, where can you be able to act recklessly? ”

"Please go on. In the face of such a heavy history, even Richard is reluctant to evaluate it lightly.

"When the earth-shattering catastrophe swept everything, the Titans briefly led the coalition forces back to the other side of the world for refuge. But the increasingly sluggish elemental tide finally forced them to come to the new world again. Setos clasped his hands on his knees and a look of remembrance on his face, "At first everything went well, although the New World environment was almost devastating. But the Titans set off with enough crops and populations, and sooner or later they can rebuild this place into a beautiful home, which can be regarded as a hopeful era. ”

He looked at Richard for a pause, and his tone gradually became heavy: "But as time passes, a hundred, two hundred, three hundred, five hundred years. We, the Iron Giants, watched as the originally normal sect masters, colleagues, and subordinates became strange little by little! Their faces gradually distorted, their eyes began to turn scarlet, and their tempers became more and more eccentric, crazy, and unreasonable. ”

"Until one day, I found out that they were actually fighting and devouring each other under the cover of night, and everyone was unimpressed. It dawned on me that the unprecedented storm of minds had probably not completely subsided, but had turned into a more insidious way of acting - but it was too late!" the Iron Giant's big hand pressed on the ground, and the knotted oak rhizome could not bear the force, and it collapsed inch by inch.

Richard took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and asked in a deep voice of disbelief, "Even the Titans are evil?"

"I really don't want to slander the former suzerainmaster of the Giant Clan!" every sound that burst out of Chief Setos' mouth was as heavy as a thousand-pound scale. Huge tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and before they could take shape, they were wiped away without hesitation.

The mountain-like creature had red eyes.

At this moment, his heart is no stronger than that of mortals, and he must be suppressing unimaginable pain.

"In fact, the Titans are the best magical creatures in the known range, and their resistance to bad conditions is amazing. ”

"Isn't that a good thing?" said Richard, buying a cotton cloth from the system store.

This cotton horse, which was enough to buy a full set of home bedding, was barely enough to serve as a handkerchief for the giant when shaken open.

"It's definitely not a good thing - the vast majority of the sapient races that migrated from the other world with the Titans have become mad monsters who have lost their minds. Setos wiped the corners of his moist eyes and blew his nose again, "Only the Titans, with their exaggerated superior resistance, still retain a lot of reason in the face of psychic erosion. ”

"But they are not completely unaffected, and although their minds still exist, their personalities have been completely distorted, and they have become tyrannical, cruel, and bloodthirsty, and have lost all the good qualities they once had!

The lord could only sigh at this - if there was anything more terrible in this world than a monster without reason, it must be a monster with reason.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the aborigines are monsters based on their bad faith, their promises as farts, and their attempts to catch refugees on the experimental bench. But what the Titans did was not to fight monsters, but to turn themselves into monsters.

"Richard, you probably can't imagine how rushed my people and I were in the face of all this. When everyone is gradually falling, the iron giant, who was born to resist the erosion of the mind and has not been affected in any way, has gradually become an outlier, and it is difficult to get along with other people. "Sometimes even the Iron Giant himself can't help but wonder if it's the world or ourselves who is at fault. ”

"Evil is probably like being drunk, and you can never feel it. Richard held his chin thoughtfully.

"A very apt analogy. Setos nodded repeatedly, "After the Titan was demonized, he claimed to be a god and divided his people into five categories: sacrifice, noble, samurai, commoner, and slave. As a blood descendant, the upper giants are actually the most noble sacrifices, but in this case, the iron giants can only choose to self-exile, so I came to this crater closed to the outside world with my clansmen, and lived by myself behind closed doors. ”

The lord heard a shocking news from the words of the iron giant in front of him—he was not the second generation of migrants born in the new world, but the widow who migrated with the Titans back then.

That was at least 10,000 years ago!

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

"Later, after the fall of the elven empire in the other world, some elves came from the other side. The Protoss 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 the Tiger Elves had only been here for a short time, and that the power of Psychic Storm had weakened compared to the beginning, so although they had become a little bloodthirsty and belligerent, they were generally a rare normal person in this twisted world. ”

"No wonder. Richard nodded knowingly.

He felt that these tiger spirit styles were too violent and violent, and he didn't even inherit the temper of the elves at all, because he had been influenced by some external influences.

"It's terrible to be alone in an entire deformed world, so the Iron Giants have decided to protect them, even if it's their company. Chief Setos said.

"How?" the lord couldn't help but wonder.

He already knew that the Iron Giant himself had the talent of "Iron Mind", but it seemed that he could only protect himself, and he couldn't do it at all—otherwise the Titan should not have been evil in the first place.

Chief Setos suddenly came to his senses: "During the long time that I was stationed alone in the Great Twilight Forest, the Iron Giants were not idle. We found that the Twilight Forest seems to have a very special geographical endowment, with a total of six natural caves. As long as there are more than twenty iron giants sleeping in each of these six caves, our talents can be stimulated to form an invisible barrier with a certain amount of spiritual protection ability!"

"I see. The lord nodded knowingly.

This kind of thing is not too bizarre, and occasionally in extreme coincidences, the natural terrain will have a more magical effect than alchemy items.

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

"Don't get too happy. Chief Setos's eyebrows drooped and he winked at Richard twice, looking a little unnatural.

"When we Iron Giants are active, we can even stop eating at all and only survive by absorbing the elements. But once they fall into a deep sleep, they have to consume iron to replenish their bodies, about two or three pounds per person per year, and all two hundred people together are only five hundred pounds per year. ”

"This amount is not much, but there is a very scarce mineral resource in this twilight forest, and iron ore is even rarer than gold!"
