Chapter 60
"Can't go any further."
After approaching the main altar at a certain distance, Jindu stopped, not because he refused to go, but because if he continued to advance, he would definitely be suspicious.
Jindu is a sorcerer, and although his status among trolls is not low, he is still much weaker than the priests who hold great power.
Don't look at the Gulabash Empire because it attracted the Guardian Dragon for the sake of the Soul Reaver Haka, and the great war between the two destroyed the Empire, I thought that the status of the priests among the trolls would plummet. In fact, some of the trolls who survived the war no longer believed in Haka and shunned Haka the Soul Reaver, but they could choose other gods to believe, and the position of priesthood remained unbreakable.
If it weren't for this, how could Jin Du be so angry when he talked about the gods, did he really think that he was nostalgic for the lost empire? You would be naΓ―ve to think that it is nothing more than a power struggle between the Magisters and the Priests, two troll rulers with extraordinary powers.
Jindu will be so obedient to bring Ainan and Egwen into Zurghrab, in addition to cherishing his own life, more in the name of using the hands of these two human powerhouses to weaken the strength of the priest line in Zurghrab.
Although the enemy of the enemy may not be a friend, Jindu is still very happy to have the opportunity to sit and watch the two tigers fight.
In fact, there is no need for Jindu to remind Ainan that there are many jungle trolls near the main altar, and many trolls even make their homes outside in the open air, unless you are invisible, it is impossible for you to approach within a kilometer of the main altar without alarming the trolls.
Even if you are invisible, the poisonous snakes scurrying all over the jungle, the cheetahs lurking, the crocodiles floating in the water, and the tigers squatting lazily at the intersections...... And so all kinds of beasts can probably find you, after all, you have to run into something when you walk around, and with the sensitivity of wild beasts, they will be alarmed at the slightest hint of wind and grass.
Egwene reluctantly stopped, seeing that he was about to approach the main altar, where the secret he longed for was there, but was told that he could not move forward, and the mage was full of displeasure. Fortunately, Egwen is not a brainless woman, the situation in front is obviously different from before, almost no one asks about following Jindu when he was walking in Zurgrab, and many trolls are looking at Jindu when he arrives here, and once Jindu really wants to get close to the main altar, he will definitely be blocked.
"It seems that your people are not friendly to you."
What Ainan said was the truth, the trolls who believed in the gods supported the priests, and the trolls near the main altar were all priests, and they didn't recognize Jindu, a sorcerer. Usually when they see it, they will salute, without the permission of the priests, Jin Du wants to approach the sacred altar in their hearts, so don't blame them for turning their faces and not recognizing people.
Although it was embarrassing to admit these in front of outsiders, Jindu did not deny it, but just snorted unhappily, which was regarded as an answer to Ainan.
"That's all for you, the guide."
Hearing this, Jin Du was nervous for a while, Ainan kept him before to let him be a guide, and now that this work has been completed, will Ainan really let him go as he said before after he achieves his goal?
Jin Du has no bottom in his heart.
He never expected that Ainan and Egwene would give him benefits, and only begged these two human powerhouses not to break their promises, and promised to let themselves go if they let him go.
As soon as Ainan stretched out his hand, he copied the staff pinned to Jindu's waist in his hand, and the magic power of his fingertips flashed, and a string of strange words and a totemic pattern were engraved on it: "You have done a good job as a guide, this is the benefit I promised you, see how much you can comprehend." β
What Ainan carved on Jindu's staff was not too profound for him, and of course, not necessarily in the eyes of others. This is just part of the experience that Ainan has recently learned from the orc shaman named Naozu that the shaman uses his power, which is to combine attack magic with totem poles, and let the caster summon a totem pole that can cast attack spells to strike enemies.
Looking at the string of words on the staff that he didn't recognize, Jin Du was dizzy, and he had seen a lot of human words, and such words were obviously not the same as those in the same system.
I don't read much, don't carve some symbols to fool me, okay?
The staff, which was regarded as a second life, was carved into it by Ainan without his consent, and Jindu's eyes were extremely sad. At this moment, a mask slammed into his face, and Egwen waved his hand like a fly to let Jindu leave: "This is what I snatched from a sorcerer named Macaras, you troll rags you should know how to use it." Now you give me as far as you can get out of my way, don't get in my way here. β
Compared to Ainam's attitude towards Egwen, it was much simpler and rude, but Jindu was relieved.
Whoever beats you and scolds you looks fierce, such people may not be killed, but those who have smiles on their faces should be more wary, because they are likely to kill you with a knife when they smile at you.
There is no doubt that in Jindu's eyes, Egwen is the former, and Ainan is the latter, and the latter is more than one exponent more dangerous than the former.
Quickly put away the staff and mask, Jindu fled as if he was in amnesty.
Glancing at the back of the troll sorcerer, Egwen changed his previous fierceness and calmly asked Ainan, "Why didn't you kill him?" I want to hear the truth. β
Shrugged his shoulders, there was a hint of cunning in Ainan's eyes: "If you have nothing to do, you will leave a son behind, and you may have unexpected gains in the future." β
"I don't understand what you're saying."
Egwene didn't get to the bottom of it. It's just a troll demon magician, others may treat him as a strong man, and in Egwen's eyes, Jindu is an ant, and if he dares to appear in front of him and kill him with one finger, it's not worth wasting energy. Rather than wasting time on Jindu, he should be concerned about how to approach the main altar.
Jindu's hasty escape was actually regarded as putting Ainan and them together, and the two trolls with Ainan and their two faces would have been suspicious, if it weren't for Jindu, someone would have come up to interrogate them earlier. Now seeing the appearance of the usually invincible sorcerer Jindu, and Egwen's previous throwing mask on Jindu's face, it is too slow for the trolls to notice that something is wrong between the two.
"Who are you two?"
On the main altar, a troll priest turned into a huge bat and flew into the sky, and a large bat with wings of more than five meters hovered above the two heads, and the sharp bat roar attracted the trolls' eyes to Ainan and Egwen.
On the surface, he asked about the identities of the two, but in fact, he was warning the other trolls, and the big bat priest was a good intention.
"It's a beast again, and the priest of the jungle troll only has this old-fashioned thing."
Egwene had no fear of being beaten by the group, but was disdainful of the troll priests. Ainan spread his hands and smiled at the trolls who came over: "You have discovered this, so it seems that we can only break in." β
