167 Verses, Haka's exploits
"Wha!"
Haka has been resurrected with the help of the corpse of the Great Blood Serpent! It laughed triumphantly, shook the head of the serpent, and shouted, "I, the Haka troll, will rule the Valley of Thorns!" No one can beat us! Then he writhed his long snake body and swam deeper into the jungle.
The illusion ends......
“……”
After Dante saw the vision, he asked Gihinder, "Haka...... Is this the god of your trolls, Haka? ”
"Yes." Gihind nodded and said, "This is Haka, the god of blood." Master, I know you must have a lot of questions to ask right now. Just ask. ”
Dante asks, "Why does Haka spit out that black sludge-like thing?" Did he eat something special? ”
Gihinder thought for a moment and said, "Master, I really don't know about this. The big blood snake appeared in the troll's territory, and then frantically attacked the innocent trolls, causing great casualties and making people panic. As the leader of the Troll Clan, Haka has a responsibility to protect his people. As for how he strengthened himself to defeat the giant snake, I haven't heard a clear statement. What is certain though, Haka did swallow something to increase his strength. ”
Dante didn't believe what Gihinder said, but Gihinder had already been marked as a demon king, and it was impossible for him to lie to the great demon king, so Dante would believe what he said first.
Dante then asked, "And then?" What happened to Haka after she turned into a snake? Do you have any other visions for us? ”
Gihinder shook his head with a very tired expression, and said, "Master, I'm sorry, I don't have the energy to cast a new illusion now. After turning into a snake, Haka returned to the clan village and was heroically welcomed by his people. Everyone is proud to have such a courageous leader. Since then, the Troll Clan has used the snake as their spiritual totem. ”
"Hmm." Dante expressed understanding. In his impression, those primitive savage trolls hidden in the old forests of the forest should use the elusive creature of the snake as a totem.
Gihinder continued: "Haka swallowed his own troll corpse after turning into a snake, and at the same time swallowed the mysterious power hidden within the corpse. While troll corpses are subject to magical corrosion, snake bodies are immune to such corrosion. I don't know if Haka's strength has increased after he turned into a snake body? ”
"I can't say that." Dante said, "You keep talking about the Troll Clan, the Troll Clan. In Haka's time, weren't the trolls separated yet? ”
Gihinder nodded and said, "No." The origin of trolls is still not clear even for us. Legend has it that in ancient times, the creatures of the world united to fight against the tyrannical rule of the ancient demon gods. The Ancient Demon God was eventually defeated. After the war, the earth fell apart and became what it is today. Trolls were born after the earth was divided. ”
Dante had long heard Gad talk about the history of trolls, and he didn't know if the trolls really didn't know their origins or if they deliberately pretended not to admit it. He pretended not to know and listened carefully to Gisinde's explanation, trying to discover some new details.
"The newly-born race of trolls is very weak, and in the primeval forest it is simply a meal for all kinds of beasts. Forced into desperation, the trolls grew up to be very united and fierce and warlike, so that they were able to settle in the primeval forests of brutal competition. Gihinder spoke, his tone becoming rather proud.
"I understand this." Dante was very appreciative of Gisinde's words. Although trolls may seem very vicious, from the perspective of natural selection, this is normal.
Gihinder continued, "Haka was the first leader of the trolls, and at that time, we trolls were in the midst of a dire existential situation, and even the ordinary beasts of the jungle were able to rush into the village to prey on their people. From an early age, Haka was powerful and intelligent. He was the first troll to read the spell scrolls that had been preserved. ”
"What?" Dante was surprised to hear the word "incantation scroll" and hurriedly asked, "Wait, Gicinde, you say, incantation scroll?" These spell scrolls...... Written by trolls? Or was it written by someone else? ”
"I'm sorry, master......" Gicinder smiled wryly, shrugged, and said, "I don't know either." That's what I wrote in the historical records I flipped through anyway. After the ancient wars, the trolls finally made their home in the primeval forests of the Valley of Thorns after paying a heavy price in casualties. Later, they discovered a mysterious ruin in their current location of Zurghrab, and excavated many spell scrolls from the ruins. ”
"Well...... Dante said thoughtfully, "I didn't expect that there were ruins under Zurghrab. ”
Gihinder said, "Trolls are illiterate, but Haka is gifted with intelligence and comprehension, and has actually relied on his comprehension ability to understand some of the spell scrolls, so he has gained strong magical powers. That soul transfer magic is one of the scrolls. ”
"Oh......" Dante sighed.
Gihind said, "Thanks to Haka's ability to study part of the Spell Scroll, later trolls were able to study the scroll with him. More and more magic is being deciphered. The trolls grow stronger and stronger as they learn magic. As they grew stronger, the trolls' territory grew, and they eventually established Zur Grab on the site of the ruins. ”
"Hehe......" Dante said with a smile, "it seems that I am still a little prejudiced against this haka." I thought he was just a simple-minded, well-limbed man. ”
Gihinder waved his hand and said, "Master, it's not." Haka can be called a groundbreaking hero for trolls. If it weren't for him slaying the Great Blood Serpent and deciphering the spell scrolls, the trolls wouldn't be where they are today. ”
"And ......," Dante then asked, "what about later?" What's the situation with Haka now? ”
When Gihinder heard the Great Demon King's question, he had a very excited expression on his face and said, "Master, later, the trolls ushered in the most glorious battle!" ”
"The most glorious battle?" When Dante heard him say this, he asked curiously, "What do you mean by that?" ”
Gihinder's eyes lit up, as if this most glorious battle was very important to him. He said in a very smug tone: "Master, maybe you won't believe it. Later, the trolls were attacked by the Black Dragon Legion! ”
"Black Dragon Legion?" Dante was taken aback when he heard this word, and hurriedly asked, "You say...... Black Dragon Legion? Wait, how do I feel weird? Why did the trolls unite with the Black Dragon Army? ”
Gihinder shrugged, shook his head, and said, "I really haven't found out the specific reason." Therefore, the historical records of the battle with the Black Dragon Legion say that in order to encroach on the territory of the trolls, the Black Dragon Legion, under the leadership of the Black Dragon King Netsario, launched a terrible offensive against Zurgrab! The trolls, led by the blood god Haka, fought bravely and paid a heavy price, but successfully repelled the Black Dragon Legion. ”
Speaking of this, he also paused deliberately, as if he was still unsatisfied, and said word by word: "This is the glorious war of trolls!" ”
"This ......," Dante felt like his head was sweating when he heard him. Nesario, King of the Black Dragons...... The name alone made Dante feel a powerful sense of oppression. He has always believed that dragons represent the strongest combat power, especially black dragons. This thing of the black dragon should give people the absolute oppressive force that the black cloud wants to destroy the city, destroying the withering and decaying and sweeping away thousands of armies!
Haka was able to lead the trolls to repel the Black Dragon Legion, and it was led by the Black Dragon King himself. There must be something hidden in this.
Seeing that Dante was silent, Gihind continued: "After repelling the Black Dragon Legion, the troll general's territory expanded to the entire Valley of Thorns, but later, Haka's body became weaker and weaker, perhaps because the years were unforgiving. It eventually fell ill and died, leaving behind a new troll leader. Its body is kept in the central altar of Zul Grab for the worship of future generations of trolls. ”
"Is that all?" Dante asked.
"That's all there is to Haka." "But I have to say a little more about Jindu. ”
