Chapter 017: Armament
If there is a choice between desire and reason, Iliphona still chooses reason. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
And the price she has to pay is also extremely expensive, that is, she must remain a virgin forever.
Iliphona tempted Zoro, not really wanting to sleep with him, except for the most direct way, she could use other ways to meet the physiological needs of any man, more ecstatic than the direct way.
Iliphona was so confident in her skills that she would take the risk of being able to fly to heaven and even be weak before they could touch her virgin hary.
ā¦ā¦
'Tears of Sorrow', in addition to its drawbacks, is a truly priceless treasure with its magical ability to keep people young forever.
Zoro's use of mind-reading on Iliphona was ineffective for a time, because the 'Tears of Sorrow' cut off this mental probe.
And since ancient times, there have been various legends about the 'armed gods' in this world.
The so-called 'Arms of the Gods' mostly refers to weapons with magical abilities such as 'Tears of Sorrow'.
For example, the orc's shamanic scepter, the fairy queen's frozen crown, and the moon elf's flower armor......
Compared to the 'Gods Armament', which is mostly armed or accessory, there is one 'Gods Armament' that is very different, she is the 'Goddess of Wisdom' possessed by the plains city-states of the Zabulan Continent.
The so-called 'goddess of wisdom' is not a god in the true sense of the word, but just a revered title.
Because there are only 'gods armed' in this world, but there is no record of the real existence of any gods.
The 'Goddess of Wisdom' symbolizes the art, craft, and other aspects of the wisdom of the human city-state.
Every hundred years, from among the pure maidens who serve the temple of wisdom, a so-called 'goddess of wisdom' is born.
From the day she turned on her wisdom, the Maiden had owned the entire Supreme Temple, commanding the most elite Templars of humanity, and possessing the allegiance of countless Temple worshippers.
If there is any supreme power above the council of the human city-state, it is the 'Goddess of Wisdom'.
She has the supreme power to execute any noble councilor and remove the king of any city-state.
According to the legend of the first goddess of wisdom, a graceful and stubborn maiden stepped out of the cracked giant dragon's head.
She spreads wisdom and knowledge to mankind and becomes the supreme guardian of humanity.
However, since the death of the previous goddess of wisdom, it has been thirty years since the human city-state, and no new goddess of wisdom has been born.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Whenever Iliphona told me about these legends about the 'armed gods', Sauron didn't pay much attention to it, and just listened to it as a fairy tale.
As a Chinese youth from the 21st century who attaches equal importance to knowledge and science, Sauron will not believe these nonsense at all until he has been witnessed.
Maybe he didn't know that within ten meters of him, there was one 'Divine Armament'.
In two weeks, not a drop of rain has fallen. A milky white mist filled the air, enveloping the trees in the distance; From there, there was a burning smell. The scenery of the continent of Zabulan, which looked like many gray, hazy clouds, floated leisurely in the blue sky, slowly crawling past. The strong dry wind was blowing, but it couldn't drive away the heat. Compared to the upcoming winter on the other side of the Shade Island, the continent of Zablan has the opposite climate to the Shade Lands.
The Minotaur Shaman is the spiritual leader of the clan and tribe, who is known to be able to communicate with the spirits and guide the people of the tribe through the dark ages.
So the actual leader of the totem tribe is not the clan patriarch, but the shaman.
Many people misinterpret the wisdom and calmness of a shaman priest as the nature of a pacifist.
In fact, when challenged, shamans possess powerful abilities to deal with any disruptive guys.
The scene in front of you is proof enough!
When Sauron saw totem pole warriors in heavy armor appear on both sides, like a great enemy, he knew that trouble was coming!
So, as long as you win the battle, the losing side will become your slave, and even the shaman sacrifice has no right to change it.
This sentence is simply bullshit to fool people.
First it was warmly welcomed with the highest courtesy, and now so many 'heavy tanks' are put on display for deterrence.
Even if Sauron was an idiot, he could have thought of what the shaman meant, "You kid better put your tricks high!" See where you're coming from! ā
You must know that Sauron's 'guardian' Ring Spirit Angmar Witch King, he won the only son of the shaman, if it is replaced by another minotaur, the shaman sacrifice may also talk about face, turn a blind eye and forget it.
But once the real interests of the tribe are harmed, the minotaur shaman priest does not mind at all, and sends a hundred totem pole warriors to smash the challenger of the tribal order into pulp.
Zoro was convinced of this.
Originally, Zoro had never thought of taking the shaman prince as a slave, but the formation in front of him made him feel a little uncomfortable.
The shaman's use of force on his own territory to intimidate guests from afar was the most unacceptable to Sauron.
Because he knows that as long as he shows a little weakness, he will definitely be looked down upon by the other party.
As Iliphona said, "The Minotaurs only recognize orcs of this size, such as the Elephant Man, the Tiger Man, and the Panther Man." ā
To put it nicely, the minotaurs admire the warriors, but the bad thing is that they are just a group of people who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard.
Hearing this, Sauron didn't mind the Ringwraith Witch King Angmar giving them another dismount.
But Sauron knew that while he was exaggerating his personal strength, he also had to master the 'degree' to avoid angering the minotaur shaman.
Because no matter how perverted the ring spirit is, the power of one person is too small, and it is impossible for Sauron to fight against tens of thousands of minotaur warriors on his own.
ā¦ā¦
Walking into the empty shaman's court, a cold wind wrapped in a bull's roar came, making Zoro feel like he had walked into the scene of Warcraft.
Slightly different from the game pictures in memory, the physique and totem poles of these bull monsters are 10,000 times more real than those fictional pictures.
Arriving at the entrance to the Minotaur Shaman's Court, Sauron could only enter with two retinues, the chief diplomat Iliphona and the commander and guard officer Leon.
The fur of male minotaurs is mostly black, and that of female minotaurs is white. When Sauron looked up and saw the Minotaur Shaman for the first time, he thought it was a cow, but when he looked closely, he realized that it was wearing a snow-white sacrificial robe.
"Sauron, the lord of the foreign realm, has seen the shamanic priest!"
No matter how much he was dissatisfied with the shaman's attitude, he still had to be polite, and Sauron put his left hand on his shoulder and bowed very modestly to the shaman's throne above.
In Sauron's eyes, the Minotaur Shaman was an old cow, and apart from the star-deep bull's eyes and a small patch of white fluff above the bull's nose, his physiognomy was basically the same as that of other minotaurs.
In the hand of the minotaur shaman is a bone scepter, and the shaman's throne that sits under its butt looks like the teeth of an animal, a bit like ivory, but more rugged than ivory.
"Damn, it's so imposing! It seems that when I return to the Dragon Court Woodland, I will also get a decent throne. ā
The shaman throne, with its domineering shape, can give people an impulse to worship in the senses.
The Shaman's Throne is made up of milky white animal teeth, and there are many delicate sharp teeth hanging on them, each of which is said to have been taken from the mouth of a troll.
"Venerable Baknar Shaman, we are here for a long trade relationship with the totem tribe. As for the fight with your prince, it was a pure misunderstanding. ā
Ilevona stepped forward from Sauron's side, her eyes apologizing as she explained her intentions to the minotaur shaman.
Out of the corner of his eye, Zoro glanced at his chief diplomat, then stole a glance at the Shaman's Throne.
What else can I say, for such a professional activity as diplomacy, Sauron is really not very good at it. Just looking at Ilyivona's two talking glances can make the minotaur shaman reduce fire by three points.
After listening to what Ilevona said, the minotaur shaman priest did not pursue the matter of the fight for the time being, but said calmly, "Plains humans, even if you find the help of a foreign race, there is no place for you in the Zabulan Plain, I don't care how you came to the brave and proud totem tribe. Millions of plains have become the servants of my totem tribe, and that will never change. ā
"The Totem Tribe will not turn its back on the Orc Tribal Alliance, there is countless hatred between the Orc Tribal Alliance and the human city-state, the Totem Tribe is a clan that loves tranquility and guardian order, but will never believe anyone's empty promises!"
The voice of the minotaur shaman sacrifice was calm and solemn, but in Sauron's ears, at least two meanings could be heard.
"First, how did you come to this world and go deep into the Zabulan Plains to reach the Totem Tribe?"
"Second, you said you came to establish trade relations, but you didn't see anything with you."
Following the Minotaur Shamanic Sacrifice, the voice of Chief Diplomat Ilevona rang out, "Venerable Baknar Shaman, the origin of our civilization can be traced back to the primitive era of antiquity, although I do not recognize my status as a slave, but I also think that the freedom of the I-Plain City-State must be fought for by itself. Now I am a diplomatic envoy of a foreign country, and as you can see, although the foreign lord Lord Zoro has the appearance of a human being, he has nothing to do with the human city-states of Zabulan Continent. ā
"Lord Sauron's territory is in another world, and the purpose of our trip is to buy the plainland slaves you own through trade."
After listening to Ilevona's answer, the pair of bull's eyes of the Minotaur shaman instantly narrowed into a compelling ray. "Humans, what do you want to use to buy slaves from the Totem Tribe?"
At this point, Ilevonne first glanced apologetically at the Minotaur Shaman, then took a small step back, stared at Sauron with a blazing gaze, and whispered urgently, "I don't know exactly where the 'gold' you are talking about, but if you don't want this old cow to smash us into meatloaf right now, hurry up and solve the problem in front of you." ā
From the Shadow Gate of the Zabulan Mountains to the Totem Tribe, although it was a flat plain all the way, it was less than eight hundred miles away, and it took at least five days to march in a hurry.
Along the way, the infantry Ilevona saw were all lightly armed, except for weapons and rations, and 100 infantry did not even carry a grain of iron slag.
"If you want to cheat this old cow empty-handed, you are very wrong, none of us can live."
Ilevona still knows something about the treacherous old cow that Shaman Baknar sacrifices. It would be too bad if Zoro was what she had in mind.
At this moment, Sauron finally understood why he had been left to dry by this old cow for three days.
It turned out that the problem was here, and the other party noticed that his group didn't bring anything, so he didn't want to pay attention to it.
This old cow is really mercenary and cautious.
At this point, Sauron finally had a general understanding of this seemingly majestic minotaur shaman.
Next, he didn't pay attention to Iliphona's urging, but took a big step forward, raised his head and looked at the Bucknar Shaman Sacrifice, his gaze colliding fiercely with its compelling eyes, "Honorable Lord Baknar Shaman Priest, I feel deep admiration for the glorious spirit of the Totem Tribe. But before negotiating our trade, I would like to ask, how many human slaves can my slaves, who are your shamanic princes, be exchanged for? ā
It's really a pot that can't be opened, and suddenly hearing Zoro being so bold, Ilyvonna, who was next to her, had black eyes and almost fainted on the spot.
Moo-Moo-Moo-Moo-
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
As expected, Zoro's words really caused the anger of the herd.
Before the minotaur shaman could make a statement, there was an earth-shattering bull roar around the open field.
In the eyes of the Minotaurs, the brave and proud shaman prince has no comparison with the average human slave at all.
The shaman prince who dared to use the lowly slave to measure the totem tribe was tantamount to a declaration of challenge on the spot, and almost all the minotaur totem warriors roared angrily, and they raised the totem poles in their hands and smashed them under their feet, causing the earth to scream, to summon the most fierce minotaur warriors to appear.
Under the shaman's throne, it suddenly became dusty, and it became a temporary arena of 'gunsmoke'. (To be continued.) )
