Chapter 32: The Gnolls

Humans are not the masters of this continent.

Although in the last era, humanity almost completed the great cause of unifying the continent, but the civilization as powerful as a god was finally as fleeting as fireworks.

After a period of hundreds of years of displacement, humanity has finally taken root in the current southeastern plains and developed a new civilization.

However, this does not mean that human beings can rest easy, in fact, as the ruler of the Second Age, human beings have conquered many other races with tough and iron-blooded means during that time, and now human beings are weak, although those races have also suffered a lot of losses in the cataclysm, and it is impossible to really fight with humans, but instigating some vassal small races - such as jackals - to harass the border of the Southeast Plains, and slow down the development of the human race while disgusting the human race is also what those races like to see.

The gnolls belong to the subhuman race, these creatures are still in the clan era, and they are about the same as goblins if you want to understand the level, but the problem is that they have found a good master.

The orcs of the southern hills, those who look strange and shapely, do not reject the gnolls, and even a considerable number of half-blood shamans believe that the gnolls are also an offshoot of the orcs - of course, these opinions are quickly dismissed as nonsense.

Just like modern people don't really think that the Shennongjia savages will be the same kind as them, even if they don't reject the gnolls, the orcs won't see these savage and greedy guys as a part of themselves.

For the fertile land of the southeast plain, which is almost the size of the Celestial Empire, occupied by humans, the orcs have long been covetous. If it weren't for those damn trolls and dwarves, I'm afraid that humanity would have been wiped out by the orcs who poured out of the nest not long after it took root a hundred years ago.

After Liang Zi was relieved, the orcs did not want to reconcile, and almost every year they would send a group of stragglers to the southeast plain to fight the autumn wind.

In addition to the orcs in the south, the north of the southeast plain is a giant forest shrouded in mist, and there are also many civilizations in the forest, the most typical of which are the forest elves. Although these humanoid creatures who are good at bows and arrows and xenomagic will not take the initiative to leave the forest to attack human towns or anything, it is important to know that the forest will gradually expand outward......

In fact, the travel that Xiwei's predecessor mentioned was only a walk around the southeast plains where humans were, otherwise with the level of his junior mage at that time, going to the southern hills would probably only add a little protein to those orcs who claimed to be able to fight ten at a time. If you go to the Northern Forest, you don't have to worry about the elves with a psychological habit of using him as food, but I think those elves won't mind a little more humanoid flower fat......

This continued until the establishment of the first magic academy for mankind.

While most of humanity's magic, alchemy, and magic technology from the last era were lost, thankfully there were still a lot left. After reorganizing and classifying the remaining texts, the first magic academy of mankind, and the first of the three most powerful academies at present, the St. Doragon Academy of Magic officially appeared in the history of mankind in this era.

After sending a large number of magical talents to various countries, many powerful forces suddenly discovered that as the students gradually rose to high positions, the St. Doragon School of Magic and Magic had the power to subvert the entire human society!

For a time, this magic academy was in the limelight. And the Horngolat Empire, the backer behind it, has also leapt from a small country with no name to the strongest giant in the human kingdom, and even faintly has a sense of manipulating the entire human society!

Soon a number of countries followed the example of the Horngolat Empire and established magic academies. …,

Even if the Horngolat Empire intended to stop it, because the orcs suddenly attacked, they didn't have time to use any thunderous means to stop it. And by the time the orcs retreated, those magic academies were already thriving......

The St. Doragon Academy of Magic also knew that it was impossible for him to continue to monopolize magical education, so he retreated to the second best thing and joined forces with several magic academies at that time to form the Seven Yao Mage Association, and began to increase his influence in another way. He proved to be very successful, and today the Seven Dawn Mages Association has become the official organization of magicians.

If you want to become the number one magic academy in the world, the St. Doragon Magic Academy, which holds the right to speak in the magic world, is a barrier that Sivi must overcome.

How difficult is the future...... Every time he thought of that behemoth, Sivi always had a feeling of powerlessness.

But it's too early to worry about that.

"Several villagers have seen the monsters not far from the village, and there are also villagers in our neighboring village who have been attacked by the gnolls. What do you think, my lord? ”

The old village chief respectfully asked Xiwei for instructions.

Originally, he asked Alyssa to ask Xiwei to come over to help, but he was just a fluke, and the mages who were more noble than ordinary nobles were generally unlikely to care about the life and death of these little people, but he didn't expect Xiwei to really go down the mountain to help, and he should be flattered This should be the feeling.

Instead of speaking, Sivi sat in the chair with his eyes closed, one hand on the wooden table, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the table, making an aggressive sound.

And his mind was racing.

The spring harvest season has not yet arrived, and it stands to reason that the gnolls are unlikely to come over to harass humans during this period, and there must be demons when things go wrong, and the gnolls of the clan system have not evolved to the stage where they can use stratagems, so it is obvious that there are beasts behind them.

But what is the cause of this disorderly action? If you want to scout, it's a little farther away from the border, unless the other side is going to climb the Angolan Mountains and attack directly into the human hinterland...... But to be honest, this kind of behavior is more difficult than killing the three frontier guards of the Ilian Empire head-on.

Then the so-called investigation can be ruled out, before the villagers could find the gnolls, then the other party also found the villagers, but listening to the tone of the old village chief, even the villagers of the neighboring villages were only 'attacked' instead of 'killed', in other words, the gnolls just wanted to drive away these villagers. So what exactly are they doing is very thought-provoking.

Thinking of this, Sivi opened his eyes, and he was greeted by the submissive old village chief and Alyssa, who was standing obediently on the side.

"Tell Alyssa where you and the neighboring village found the gnolls." He stood up: "I'll go and prepare, and Alyssa will show me the way in a while." ”

Sivi's idea is very simple, since the gnolls don't want people to appear there, it must be because they are afraid that something will be discovered, in that case, why don't they just go over and find out what they want to hide?

However, considering that he might fight the gnolls face to face, and that it was the first time that Sivi had taught the gnolls, it was necessary to make some preparations......
