Once a group of strange-faced people strayed into a huge cavern deep underground.

They found countless gold and treasures in the underground caverns, just as they happily decorated their masks with them.

The gods of the earth appeared.

She had a golden body and horns like a crown, and with a gentle blow, the gold and treasure would turn into golden-red juice and be draped over her body.

Some of the Strangeface Clans left in terror.

Others, the braver, followed in the gods' footsteps, dyeing their masks and weapons gold with her gold, and calling themselves the Golden Clan.

They live in underground caverns and reproduce for an unknown number of years.

One day, a young golden strange-faced man full of curiosity left the gold-covered leyline corridor on a whim.

It kept walking up, through cave after cave, and finally, it saw a light that it had never seen before.

It continued to climb up the light, and when it emerged from the hole, it was greeted by a blinding rays of sunlight and a new world so vast that it frightened.

The young Strange-Faced wanted to go back, to the familiar Golden Country.

But at this moment, the whole earth shook violently, and the caves and passages that came when they came completely collapsed.

As a digger, as long as it takes long enough, you can always find your way home.

But it did not dare to do so, believing that its actions had angered the gods of the earth, and that it could only go back if it was forgiven by the gods.

Overwhelmed, it wanders through the wasteland.

The strange golden masks and golden weapons attract the wandering Odd-Face people.

They surround it and listen to it tell the story of the Golden Land and the gods of the earth.

Since then, a new tribe of the Strange Faces has emerged in the Great Ant Mound Wasteland, and their leader is from the Golden Country, who is the priest of the earth gods.

"Ugh"

Gordon looked at the Golden Odd-Face Clan who was kneeling on the ground, looking frustrated, and his expression was a little strange, "So, this guy has become the leader of this group of Odd-Face Clan in such a daze?" ”

Mr. Monroe shrugged, "Don't forget, the civilization of the Odd-Faced Clan is still in a relatively primitive stage (referring to the widespread use of rocket artillery).

Miraculous origins and experiences, golden masks given by the gods, legends of the gods of the earth, etc., this has already taken the rudiments of religion.

If it had worked harder, it would have come up with a doctrine and send people around to preach more.

It is possible to unify the entire Great Ant Mound Wasteland, and even the strange faces of the distant places.

After all, 'it's come to this earthly world more than sixteen,000 sunsets,', well, that's what it said. ”

"Good fellow, how many years has it been?" Gordon tactically leans back.

Hertha replied casually: "Forty years." ”

"Oooh! It's been so long. ”

"It's a little pitiful, from young to old, I haven't been able to go back." Hayatta sighed.

Gordon didn't have much empathy, "So, what does this have to do with directing the Strangeface Clan to loot ore?"

I remember that Gaba said before that it was for tribute or something? The gods of the earth will still appear? ”

Gordon had little respect for the so-called gods, and in his opinion, the so-called gods of the earth were nine times out of ten ancient dragons living underground.

"I asked about this as well."

The experienced orc scholar stroked his beard and said, "It said that more than half a year ago, it received guidance from the 'wrath of the earth gods', and it thought that the gods were asking for tribute.

As long as the tribute satisfies the gods, it can return home. ”

Gordon was intrigued, he thought of the twin sisters in Flame Village, "Divine guidance? Can it still resonate with that 'god'? ”

Monroe said faintly: "At that point in time, there was an earthquake in the Great Ant Grave Wasteland, and it should be referring to that." ”

Gordon grinned, "Is that how you guided?" No wonder it's angry, it's direct."

After saying that, Gordon felt someone poke his thigh, looked down, and saw that it was pork chops.

"Gordon Meow! Remember the story the Commander-in-Chief told you? It also happened more than forty years ago! ”

Gordon was stunned.

At that time, the commander-in-chief did not speak in detail, and he did not listen carefully, and after listening to it, he lost his mind, so he did not have any associations.

After getting the pork chop reminder, he suddenly realized that the two things were probably the same thing.

Gordon pondered for a moment and asked, "Mr. Monroe, if I give it something that it wants so much, with the character of the Odd Face, will they accept it?" ”

"Yes, although the temper of the Strange Face Clan is not good, it is still quite simple, if you give them good things, they will treat you as a friend."

Monroe looked at Gordon curiously, "So what are you going to give it for?" It's not going to give away your sword, is it? ”

"How is that possible?"

Gordon pulled out his hunter's notebook, which he hadn't taken out since the last time he had slipped it in, and he wanted to be a bookmark.

He took out the piece of gold and handed it to the depressed Golden Face.

The Golden Strange-Faced Clan raised his head, and his eyes couldn't move.

It shuddered and took the gold flake, stroking the intricate lines on it, looking like it would pull it out at any moment.

"Quack, ——!"

The Golden Odd-Face suddenly jumped up like crazy, rolled a few times after landing on the ground, and then jumped up and waved his hands and feet, and did a strange dance.

Seeing this, the surrounding Qimian clan also danced.

Monroe looked at the group of cheering strangers and said to Gordon in surprise, "It seems that you did come up with something amazing."

Look at them like this, it's not a matter of friendship, and you'll be grateful to them.

Perhaps, the entire investigation team will benefit from this, and for your sake, they should not attack our people again in the future. ”

After screaming wildly, the Golden Odd-Face Clan rushed over again, hugged Gordon's thigh, and shouted again.

"It keeps saying thank you, and that you brought it the key home, that you are a messenger of God, um." Mr. Monroe translated.

Gordon was a little uncomfortable with the enthusiasm of the Strangeface Clan, "It seems that the 'god of the earth' in its mouth is really the 'golden earth mother god' that the commander-in-chief met back then." ”

Hertha's eyes lit up, and he was clearly intrigued by what Gordon had to say.

Hayatta had heard Gordon talk about encountering ancient dragonmen, and she said amusedly, "You always say that I am lucky, but isn't your luck good this time?" ”

"Hey, once in a while."

After a long while, the Golden Strange-Faced Clan, who had finally calmed down, ripped off the beast tooth necklace that hung around his neck and handed it to Gordon.

Monroe explained, "Keep it, take this thing with you, and the Strange Faces of the New World shouldn't attack you."

The tribes on this side of the Great Anthill Desert will even take the initiative to come to your aid when you are fighting. ”

"What if I got this necklace hunting?" Gordon asked curiously.

They have their own way of distinguishing, wearing blood-stained necklaces, and they will attack them in groups." Monroe was a little helpless about the hunters' brain circuits.

The Golden Odd-Faced Clan shouted again, and the surrounding Odd-Faced Clan cheered together.

"Oh? It seems that I can't leave these days. "The seasoned orc scholar has put his hat in order.

"What do you mean?"

"It says the time has come for them to hold a sacrifice of the Strange-Faced Clan on the night of the full moon in two days' time, and to pay tribute to the 'gods of the earth', and the priest has invited us to join in."

"The contradiction here should have been resolved, so should we still participate in this festival?" Hayatta asked.

"Of course!"

Hertha and Mr. Monroe spoke in unison.
