Chapter 1151: The Secret of Madness (12)
I've also heard of this, the historical explanation is that the Minotaur conquered the entire steppe, and the trolls living on the edge of the steppe and the rainforest were also conquered and incorporated into his orc empire, but the empire soon fell apart, whether it was the mother earth god who killed him, or the assassins of humans and elves killed him, in short, the empire did not last, and the humans and elves fought in, at this critical juncture, the lion and tiger clan rose up, with the infinite madness of the physique, with the rest of the race to resist together, Expelling the enemy from the grassland, the minotaur and the troll, as the most special two races, settled in the newly established orc kingdom, the troll is considered to be worth more, and the minotaur has a sense of eternal debasement......
"Have you all been to the Troll Lands?" I asked.
"I've been, but not to the rainforest," said Eddie, the Skybreaker.
"Trolls, how do you feel?" I asked.
"It's no different from other races, it's a bit cold and xenophobic, but in fact, every race is pretty much the same, the tigers, wolves, and leopards are more serious," said Douglas the Ash Wood, "In comparison, the minotaurs and foxes are more friendly, and the others are pretty much the same." ”
This is a relatively common opinion, and many people would say so.
"I don't think so." Shawshank said, "I think the trolls have a kind of indifference, unanimously rejecting the orcs. ”
I looked at him with interest.
"I hadn't paid attention to this before, after all, it was many years since I last went to the territory of the Troll Clan," said Shawshank, the Monkey Moon Bone Flute, "Recently, I saw goblins and trolls in the city open shops together, and I suddenly remembered the difference between goblins and trolls, and then I remembered what an old wizard had said. ”
Everyone was attracted by his words.
"I'm not a shaman, I'm not a wizard," Shawshank played with his flute, "Actually, after learning the skills of magicians, I feel that these professions have similarities, but wizards are older, because wizards are good at divination and curses, which are older than other professions. ”
"Is there one?" Douglas the Ash Wood Staff was a little strange, "Why haven't I heard of it?" ”
"This knowledge is not written in books, and it is about to be lost." Shawshank said, "But you have to know that the race rich in wizards is the troll race, although other races also have it, but it is not so common, and only in the troll race, wizards and shamans have a similar status, I didn't realize this back then, until recently I saw a shop opened by goblins and trolls, and I realized that the entire business of the orc race is almost supported by goblins and trolls, and goblins are natural merchants who do business between various races, but what about trolls? They are actually not good at it, not to mention inferior to goblins in business, even the fox and rat clans are better than them, but the only merchants who are willing to run all over the grassland and do business with various tribes are goblins and trolls. ”
"I also remembered that trolls really don't make much money," said Jabas the Serpent, "when I was a kid on the edge of the desert, they went to villages where goblins didn't even dare to go, and they didn't make much money. ”
"Yes," Shawshank nodded, "I'm also very strange, I've asked the troll merchants before, and they all said that although they are not as profitable as goblins, they are actually a little profitable, as long as they don't lose money, they have a chance, and besides, goblins are too cunning, and many orcs prefer to believe in trolls, so there are still many trolls who have made a fortune." ”
"At first glance it seems plausible," I said, "then, what did you find?" ”
Shawshank said: "I remember that at that time in the Troll Clan, a young merchant went out to do business and lost a fortune, and went to a wizard to do divination, and the wizard told him that he should go to the border of the Minotaur and the Centaur territory to do business, and he would make money. ”
Speaking of this location, I came to the spirit.
However, the next topic did not mention my hometown.
Shawshank said: "The young man asked the wizard, what if he still paid for it? The wizard shook his head and said no, and said that if the divination was not accurate, he would pay a sum of money. ”
"Wizards are also responsible for losing money?" Douglas the Ash Wood Staff was surprised.
"I didn't care at the time," Shawshank said, "and now that I think about it, it's really weird......"
"It feels like they're going to go into business even if they lose money." Shadowless Gillette said.
"It's kind of weird...... But I can understand," said Abbas, the serpent double-bladed, "many orcs still think that they are not orcs, so they are more generous in their business and more honest than goblins, and they also want to integrate into the orcs, after all, it has been two thousand years, and if the orcs don't want them, humans and elves will never want them, and they can't even cling to humans like dwarves." ”
"That's an explanation," I said, "but you've given me noteworthy news, and I'll take a look at the trolls." ”
"You want to go back to the prairie?" The five were a little frightened.
"I ...... I've been back several times," I chuckled, reverting to their original form in their surprised eyes, "It doesn't matter, the potion recipe appears there, the news of the underground labyrinth of the Minotaur capital and the orc capital is also there, and the secrets of the troll clan are also worth studying, this trip, you don't have to worry about it, the most important thing now is to help you complete the transformation." ”
When it came to renovation, they immediately put the topic behind them and looked at me with fiery eyes. A must-read book
"Come on, it's not that hard," I rolled up my sleeves, "and I'm in a bit of a hurry today." ”
At two o'clock in the morning, the transformation of Eddie, the Shadowless Gillette, and the Ash Wood Staff Douglas was completed.
The excitement of the five was palpable, and I told them to rest well, and left the camp directly, and began to retreat, heading straight for the southeastern rainforests and hills of the Kalmdo steppe.
Half of the territory of the trolls is grassland, the rest is rainforest and hills, and the boundaries near the Elven Forest have actually been blurred, but the trolls gathered there in ancient times, and then slowly moved to the east and north because they were incorporated into the orc side, leaving some ancient architectural remains.
According to the information collected from Zhao Ritian's notes and the underground ruins, that is, the hiding place of the bull-headed evil god, the ground ruins and the underground ruins where the prescription was obtained did not coincide, but were slightly offset, and there was no connecting tunnel between the upper and lower levels, but some related symbols appeared, which was somewhat intriguing......
It's the same as the ruins of the Green Mist Swamp and the Wind Elemental Plane.
The Minotaur Evil God has been hiding underground for two thousand years, until it was discovered seventy or eighty years ago, and there is almost no record of this matter in the Temple of Animo City, however, it is certain that the divine messenger at that time was the chief of Terraria in the God Realm, and the rest is a fog, and I don't expect to be able to solve it for the time being, perhaps, even if he finds that guy, he himself can't say clearly, after all, these divine envoys are just guardian warriors in the god realm, and they are even inferior to guardian warriors, just Bloodhoof soldiers.
And what I have to do is even more hopeless, even wishful thinking, - to find the complete recipe.
Zhao Ritian can be said to have obtained it by chance, with his own protagonist's aura, and, in addition to the potion formula, there is also a map of the underground labyrinth.
The secret behind this is also intriguing - it is clear that the ruins above ground and the ruins below are not connected, but something that only exists in that era has appeared.
The origin of everything points to the battle to exterminate the evil gods.
I don't know how the chief of Terraria and the orcs got underground, but it was the teleportation opened by the formation masters of the temple, and someone had to go down once anyway.
At night, I followed the wind to the ruins of the ground.
The architecture here is a bit like the architecture of Angkor Wat in Southeast Asia and the Mayan civilization in South America, but it is so dilapidated that it feels like a horror movie in the middle of the night......
Of course, for people like us, weak undead like ghosts and ghosts are not worth mentioning at all.
The horror movies that can make me feel scared must at least be played by races such as gods and demons.
Leo conducted a carpet search at the scene for nearly half an hour, and finally determined that nothing was found.
"There's no hope," he said, "it's a big deal that we'll make up the recipe ourselves." ”
"The point is, we understand the connection." I said, "Why don't you go underground again?" ”
"A must!" Leo said.
Diving underground, we even observed the soil and rock formations halfway through, and Leo was not at ease, so he studied all the surrounding ten kilometers of strata.
When we came to the ruins that were more dilapidated than the ground, we still found nothing, and there was no more connection between the hidden patterns and the ground ruins, and the clues found by the sac had been collected before.
This is a seriously underqualified analytical question.
"There are two kinds of reasoning that you can't guess the ending, one is that the author is very clever and the reader can't guess it, and the other is that the author shamelessly puts the necessary conditions until the end before putting them forward, and the reader can't guess them until the last moment, and at the same time gnashes his teeth at the author," Leo seems to be talking to himself, "and in reality, you won't even be given enough conditions, either you haven't found it, or the clues have been destroyed." ”
"You're saying we didn't find it?" I asked.
"No, it's time!" "Unless it's a reversal of light, some puzzles are destined to be unsolvable." ”
"So, go back?" I asked.
"Well, don't use divination either." Leo said.
"If you don't say it, I'll forget." I said, "Why don't you do it?" ”
