Chapter 659: Old Samurai Rohan
Perhaps because of the lack of social status, the trolls who were used to obtain information before were vague and limited in some ways.
But in general, Kane and they still figured out the social deconstruction of Zuatu.
The highest rank, called the Witch King, is not the King of the Lich, but the King of Voodoo.
The difference between one word and the world of difference. Voodoo is a unique trade of trolls, very ancient, and in Kane's mind, he is more like a druid, good at extracting materials from nature, especially animals and plants.
With the in-depth development of the voodoo industry, it gradually divided into factions such as medicine, poison, and spells. According to the memories of those patrol trolls, the most powerful witch king in Zuatu, Vakan, belonged to the spell system and was called the Sorcerer Vakan.
To be honest, the name Wakan still makes Kane think a lot. Because the intelligence of the shadow spy under his command revealed that the commander-in-chief of the southern expeditionary fleet sent by the Lich King was named Vakan, a troll death knight.
Is it relatively easy for the strong to get ahead wherever they are, or is it just a coincidence?
Of course, the question is biased towards gossip, and Kane is not so eager to know.
In Zuatu, the Witch King was the High Priest.
This alone basically proves that here, a large part of the power of the gods is dominated by mortals, and then they use it to strengthen and consolidate their positions and gain authority.
Below the priests, there were the nobles, including the slave owners. It can even be said that the aristocracy is a gang of foreman slave owners.
What is more special is where the slaves come from.
Freedmen who were bankrupt for various reasons were not the main source of slaves, nor were the foreigners who were sold from other city-states or captured for one reason or another, and the greatest source of slaves was the struggle between the sects of the faith.
This alone made Alexstasa and Ysera deeply disgusted. To the dragons, the true gods are the great wisdom above the mortal world, and this kind of gang-like behavior that uses gods as tools to compete for profit is a very serious blasphemy.
Since the battle was fierce, the technology and creations related to it were relatively developed, and a large number of fighters were required.
For this purpose, there is also a samurai class,
Those with outstanding strength, such as champion samurai, temple samurai or whatever, have a status above ordinary nobles.
Such a city-state is somewhat inappropriate to describe as reckless, but can only be described as extremely deformed, rapidly moving towards destruction.
In the past, the aristocracy prided themselves on being well educated, but now they also devote more time to the cultivation of their martial arts, apparently not because of martial arts, but because of self-preservation.
The clergy, the nobles, the samurai, the farts, and the Zuatu are just these four types of people. The nobility was divided into large and small persons, and their status was theoretically equal to each other, with the main differences being the temples they served and the number of slaves they owned.
The samurai are more strictly graded, but it is easy to identify, all the samurai wear a crown, the feather represents the rank of the samurai, a few feathers are several levels, the feather is monopolized by the high-level, if the ordinary people impostor, once discovered, immediately become serfs.
In the whole of Zuatu, slaves accounted for more than eighty percent of the population. Like Kane, the group they encountered was made up of two samurai and seven serf soldiers.
Kane also knew that the feather was a symbol of samurai honor, and it could only be awarded through the annual arena, or war, and the more flamboyant, the more amazing the battle.
Therefore, if he dares to wear a crown of soul feathers like a peacock in the temple of Atahaka, he will immediately cause a lot of trouble.
The end result of Kane's negotiations with the two queens was to enter the city in disguise and obtain as much information as possible in a peaceful manner.
To this end, Kane set his sights on a small caravan of more than 20 people.
Daga, the leader of this small caravan, could not have imagined that Zuatu was in sight, and that he would be attacked, and it was on the agricultural road.
The caravan men, like the previous patrols, were put down by Kane's faint before they could figure out what was happening.
The difference is that this time Kane used a little divine power to complete the hypnosis of these people.
Everyone, he implanted some memories.
The clever part is that Kane did not edit the memories of these people in a big way. There was already a second-class samurai with two feathers in their caravan, and Kane picked out all the things about this samurai, and added fuel to the vinegar to outline another person who didn't exist.
So, when these people woke up, they didn't realize that there was something wrong with having one more Kane in the team.
Daga also complained that he was old, and he didn't feel tired at all when he walked this way, but now he has a sense of trance, and when he arrives in Zuatu, he must have a good rest.
As for the other trolls who acted as porters, they didn't have a part in talking at all, and they were in a trance or something, it was their norm, and they didn't notice the abnormality at all.
The most difficult thing to attack is actually the samurai, Sema, who makes a determined samurai think that he is a follower, and he needs to be able to be self-consistent.
Kane eventually managed to do it with miraculous powers. The related costs are almost comparable to the cost of building the Asylum, and whether it can be worth the money depends on the next performance of Daga and Sema.
Kane had a great chance to take advantage of the loophole to enter the city, but he was still a black household, and if he wanted to act openly, he had to role-play. He felt that it was better to play an outsider, and it was not easy to make mistakes.
The next step was the caravan into the city.
The gate was not guarded, but on the bridge, and the samurai on duty first noticed Daga, who was sitting on a pack beast, and recognized him.
In this region, the trade between the city-states was not very prosperous, especially the demand for slaves in Zuatu was almost unlimited, and he was very hungry, and he often bullied outsiders and made them slaves on the grounds of breaking the law. Caravans that could trade with them became scarcer.
Daga has been walking this trade route for more than ten years, and it is normal to be recognized.
The city-state of Zuatu also knows its own urine nature, so it is wary of strangers and even cruel, but it is still more tolerant of this kind of old caravan, after all, they also need to exchange materials with other city-states.
Even so, Kane still caught the attention of the guards, because Kane wore three feathers on the crown of his head, two of which were very showy, one bright red, one glowing blue, and one was a normal falcon gray feather.
The falcon is a proof of the samurai's qualifications. Its changes are mainly reflected in the old and young, which is a proof of the growth rings, and the root of Kane Dai is wide and long, which means that he has more than 10 years of samurai qualifications.
The bright red ones will be awarded only if they have taken off the head of a strong enemy on the battlefield, or if they have martial arts honors such as the first person to break the city and the first person to climb the wall.
And the glow blue means that the arena is superior, like Kane, a three-time arena champion can only wear it.
In other words, Kane dressed himself up as a veteran samurai second only to those champion samurai or temple samurai, and basically every such samurai had a name, so it was natural for him to be noticed by the guards.
The guard dutifully stepped forward to ask.
Kane pretended to be more than the price, tilted his chin slightly and didn't speak, this is a high-level samurai should be, he designed this character for himself, the body shape should be significantly stronger than the average troll, the proportion is like the average height of 173CM in the crowd, there is a 190CM big man, looking at it has a kind of majesty that stands out from the crowd.
And this big man is still the kind of basketball black type, tall but not clumsy, giving people a very athletic feeling.
Kane has all those bells and whistles piercing ornaments, but the war paints are there, artistic, and they don't feel good when they look at it. As for the very crucial fangs, he didn't like ivory tusks, so he deliberately made a broken tooth.
As soon as he showed his mouth, he was entangled in a golden hoop and wore a golden hat.
This means remembering the shame of broken teeth, when will the field be recovered, and when will it continue to grow.
Such details also explain why this small caravan is accompanied by a veteran samurai like him.
Kane pretends to be a big guy, but someone has to interact, and that is naturally the new assistant Sema.
To say that Kane can't stand the grievances, he has to make such a high-start, but basically low-key character. But in Semima's memory, there is precisely such a troll warrior who he admires and collects a lot of relevant information, but in fact he has not seen in person - Rohan.
Semia is the most critical task in the entire caravan, and his memory cannot be changed, and he has to skillfully use the existing information elements to sketch a character.
Eventually, Rohan was born.
The real Rohan has been missing for many years, and most of them died quietly in some ditch.
This is normal, few soldiers or generals can die on the battlefield, just like the legend of the Origin World, when their side has already won the victory, they are shot by the last bullet from the enemy, and die a glorious death...... In a way, such a death is not only poetic, but also in line with the wishes of a true warrior.
After too long of bloody days, but also saw too much death, murder like numbness, hands stained with the blood of the guilty and innocent, such people psychology is naturally different from ordinary people, they have passed by death countless times, know the feeling of dying, not like ordinary people are afraid of death, they know that one day, they will also usher in death, since this is doomed, and look down, then, how to die has become a new concern.
Most of these real warriors hope to die a vigorous death, not to die on a sickbed in agony, or to be manipulated in every possible way in the hospital.
In reality, most of them died quietly. How do you say that sentence: It's not okay to be old if you don't accept it.
Kane is now playing such an old samurai who has disappeared from public view for a while, and I don't know if he was killed, or if he went to take revenge or practice.
Now that he's back, there may be some folk legends about him. But this is a world and an era where the waves died on the beach, and in just a few years, a large number of new warriors have emerged, and they do not admit it.
For these brave and ruthless warriors, veterans like Rohan are second only to the popular champion samurai. Although killing him does not take his honor, it can prove his qualifications, especially the rising stars are always criticized for not being skilled enough and inexperienced, if they can trample the old soldier under their feet, they can no longer accuse them of being difficult from this angle.
With such a background, it can be said that from the moment Kane played Rohan appeared, it was destined that his life in Zuatu would not be peaceful.
Of course, Kane is not scared at all, he is quite confident in his combat skills......
