Chapter 863: Old News of Jerrak Mountain
"I can understand." Nodding gently, "They are also intelligent creatures, so the horns of these half-human races are naturally extremely precious. ”
"No, it's not the greedy poachers who make the horns of the centaur rhinoceros so valuable." Momoth shook his head slowly, and said softly, "Although these poachers are not afraid of death and are in groups, the centaur rhinoceros tribe led by Latyana is far beyond people's imagination, everyone in the group is a brave and good super soldier, even a demihuman rhinoceros child can face a dozen young and strong poachers alone without falling behind, so after so many years, there are few lucky guys who can get any benefit from this group of strong demihuman races, There have been thousands of poachers in history who have besieged this half-human rhinoceros tribe, and even heavy ballistas and large magic circles of destruction have been moved to the top of Mount Jerrak...... But then, all of them were gone, and the crimson blood stained half of Mount Jerrak. ”
"Interests...... It always makes some people lose their minds. Gently and slowly, "When you say that, I kind of understand why the horn of a half-human rhinoceros is so precious." ”
"No, in fact, the centaur rhinoceros is completely different from us humans, like the claws of wild beasts, their horns are both weapons and annoyances." Momoth smiled lowly and continued, "It's not that the Centaur Rhino Tribe is incapable of communicating, and the nuisance of countless hunters also annoys them, so under the consultation of the royal envoys of the Derrak Nation, the king of the Derrak Nation spoke to the leader of the Centaur Rhino Tribe, Latyana, for the first time. ”
"And then? What did they say? ”
"The horns of the centaur rhinoceros are like our human fingernails, they are constantly regenerating, and although this process is slow, the continuous elongation of the horns will also cause them problems in their lives, so even if there are no hunters, this centaur rhinoceros tribe will produce a large number of horns every year, and these ...... It was the chips they gave to the country of Jerrak. Mommers stretched out his hand and lightly tapped it on the table in front of him, "These precious materials naturally made the royal family of the Gerrak Kingdom ecstatic, and they promised to provide extremely rich material support to the Centaur Rhino tribe living in the harsh environment, and it was only from that time that the Gerrak Nation issued extremely harsh prohibitions. ”
"An extremely harsh ban?" Wen Wen was stunned for a moment, "To protect these centaur rhinoceros tribes?" ”
"Yes, on the one hand, that's exactly why." Mommers nodded, and said to the gentleness in front of him, "It is strictly forbidden for anyone to climb Mount Jerrak without the permission of the royal family, and the poaching of the Centaur Rhino is a felony that can be executed on the spot once discovered, and anyone who dies in the Centaur Rhino Territory will be severely punished, even their families will be severely punished, so that the Centaur Rhino clan finally does not have to conflict with the Gerrak Nation below the mountain, although these warlike Centaur races are still as hostile to humans as ever, but at least." , they won't slaughter the human town below the mountain for no reason like before. ”
"It's a sharp contradiction." Gently shook his head, "But in this case, shouldn't the problem of the half-human rhinoceros horn be solved?" Why...... Now it's even more precious? ”
"The 'peace agreement' between the Centaur Clan and the Gerlak Nation has indeed greatly alleviated the shortage of Centaur rhino horn, of course...... If it weren't for what happened next, everything would seem so harmonious and natural. Mommer's expression suddenly became a little silent, "At that time, the Centaur Rhino Tribe had already coexisted harmoniously with the Gerrak Nation for more than half a century, and it was at that time that among the brave warriors of the Centurac Clan, a clansman named 'Magnus' appeared, and the master foundry of the Gerrak Nation had an astonishing unanimity on one thing, that is, the horns of the Centaur Rhinoceros were more precious than any alloy, and among these horns, the largest and sharpest one belonged to this one. Magnus's beast. ”
Gentle nature knows the name of Magnus, this half-human rhinoceros is enough to turn the tide, and one kick of two levels of reversal is enough to make the sky tremble, and the mountains and rivers turn upside down!
"I still don't understand why their horns are suddenly more precious." Although he knew Magnus, Gentle still couldn't figure out the point of Mommer's words.
"Lord Wen, please don't worry, listen to me." "Magnus's existence has become a legend among the Centaur Rhinoceros tribes, and his strength is so unmatched that he is said to have been able to knock down a hill, and no poacher has been able to escape from Jerrak alive under his hands, and every time he returns to the Centaur Rhinoceros' station, his hooves and feet are covered in blood. ”
"And then?"
"And then that's what happened." Mormoth spoke softly, "Was it twenty years ago, or more...... I don't remember the specifics, but at that time, the Mt. Jerrak, which had been silent for hundreds of years, suddenly erupted without warning, and the hot lava and fire fossilized into a rain of fire, and even the thousand-year-old ice on the top of the mountain was turned into a hot waterfall. ”
"Here...... Isn't it an extinct volcano?! Wen Wen's eyes widened, and he said in a daze, "An extinct volcano can also erupt?" ”
"We don't know the cause of the eruption of Mount Jerlak, but what we do know is that the Centaur tribe suffered heavy losses in that devastating catastrophe, and the people below the mountain once saw a half-human rhinoceros tumbling down from the snowy mountains and then wailing and falling into the abyss...... And at that time, a poaching party of hundreds of people who had been hiding for a long time stood in the way of the fleeing half-human rhinoceros tribe. Mommers sighed softly, "The battle was turned upside down, except for a few insane madmen or escaped, there was not a single living mouth, and the half-human rhinoceros tribe also disappeared from people's sight forever from that time.
