Chapter 100: The Devil's Clone?
"Dadala, Dadala. ”
Accompanied by the shouts of the forest trolls, some of the forest trolls on the periphery also bowed down reverently and shouted loudly.
"This, what's going on?" Not only Han Shuo, but also the surrounding dwarves and several elves were also surprised by the sudden change, and one of the dwarves suddenly asked in surprise.
"That skeleton warrior with wings seems to be somewhat similar to the demon that the forest trolls believe in, that demon is naturally evil and likes to plunder everything, I heard the elders of the clan say that the demon that the forest trolls believe in is called Dadala!" At this moment, Bennett seemed to suddenly remember something, and suddenly exclaimed.
Not far away, an old forest troll priest who seemed to be ready to sink into the ground at any moment, crawled quickly on the ground with his knees on his knees towards the little skeleton. Han Shuo was also surprised that he climbed quite fast, and after a while, he arrived in front of the little skeleton, and the old priest of the forest troll muttered to the little skeleton in the language of the forest troll.
The little skeleton with the bone knife in his hand stood there blankly, his empty left hand scratching his smooth skull, as if he didn't know what was going on, he turned around and looked at Han Shuo with empty eyes, as if waiting for Han Shuo to give him an order.
Hearing Bennett say this, Han Shuo roughly understood that something strange had happened, these forest trolls must have regarded the little skeleton as the demon they believed in. The old priest's communication seemed to be to take the little skeleton somewhere, and all the forest trolls behind him were all lying motionless on the ground at this time, and no one mentioned the invasion of the dwarven village again.
"Han, what's going on, what should we do?" a dwarf looked at Han Shuo and asked in a daze.
Han Shuo, who was thinking about it quickly, also seemed to have a headache when he heard this dwarf's question, hesitated for a moment, Han Shuo was not sure what would happen next, and said to them: "I will find a way to hold these forest trolls back, you leave this valley immediately, and find a safe place with the village chief Bennett, I think I can find you again." ”
"Then will you be in danger?" the dwarf said with some reluctance to worry Han Shuo.
"Don't worry, I have a solution. Bennett I think you should get out of here too, I'm a bit weird as a skeleton warrior, but I don't think he's a demon that the forest trolls believe in, and I don't know how the situation will develop in the future, so it's safer for you to leave with them. Han Shuo looked at the dwarves and a few elves, and slowly persuaded.
"Let's go, it's very dangerous here, I think we should inform the elders first. Bennett thought for a moment, nodded his head, and then stepped back with a few other elves.
Under Han Shuo's urging, those dwarves were also a little reluctant and slowly retreated towards the valley. One of the primordial demons who had been observing the forest trolls suddenly separated and left with the dwarves, which allowed Han Shuo to know where the dwarves were going to retreat.
After a while, there was no other existence at the entrance of the entire village except for Han Shuo and the little skeleton. Han Shuo's Yuan Demon watched the dwarves' movements and found that they were crossing an icy river, exiting through a crack in the valley.
"Is there anyone who can speak the lingua franca of the mainland?" Han Shuo walked out from behind, and after coming to the little skeleton's side, he asked in the Terran language.
The old priest who had been kneeling in front of the little skeleton and muttering in the language of the forest trolls suddenly looked up at Han Shuo and said in a slightly jerky human language, "You are with the Great God of Dadara, why are you a cunning human?"
"Are you sure he's your Dadala?" Han Shuo felt a little ridiculous, shook his head and asked strangely.
The old priest of the forest troll, with a miserable green face and dry skin like the bark of an old tree that had been beaten by years of wind and rain, showed an extremely disdainful expression at this time, and said, "Of course I will not admit that I am mistaken, this must be the doppelganger of the god Dadara in the world." ”
As the old priest spoke, an ancient scroll was taken out of a leather bag by him, and as his withered hands rolled it, the ancient scroll slowly flattened. In addition to some forest troll characters that are as difficult to read as tadpoles, it is a picture of a huge skeleton with wings on its back, the skeleton of this skeleton is as white as jade, and the wings on its back are bare and have no feathers, which is indeed similar to the bone spurs behind the small skeleton.
At the foot of this large white skull was a bare mountain with all kinds of gold and silver jewels, including some gems that seemed to be very valuable, except that one eye of the white skull was hollow, and one eye was covered by a black blindfold, like a one-eyed pirate dressed as a burn and loot.
"This is the appearance of our great god Dadara, we will not admit that he is the doppelganger of the great god Dadara in the world, he will guide us to grab more gold, silver and jewelry, countless gems and endless food, the great god Dadara will guide our race, and rob the cunning human kingdom. The old priest of the forest troll, his tone was inexplicably excited, and he shouted loudly.
In addition to the small skeleton's size and not its white color, the appearance is indeed very similar to that of the scroll's Dadala, and it is no wonder that these greedy forest trolls regard the little skeleton as the doppelganger of the robbery demon in the world.
Although the unbelievable situation surprised Han Shuo, Han Shuo thought about it carefully, and suddenly his heart moved, and with some evil smiles on the corner of his mouth, he gave an order to the little skeleton.
The little skeleton that had been standing blankly with the bone knife suddenly waved the bone knife in his hand at this time, and his empty left hand made a gesture to signal everyone to get up.
"Oh! Dadala hears our call!" said the old priest of the forest troll, who immediately danced excitedly, waved his thin hands like chicken claws, and said something in a deep forest troll voice.
The forest trolls of all the people who had been kneeling and worshipping shouted loudly, stood up from the ground, untied the pockets that everyone had on their bodies, and shook them vigorously.
The little skeleton waited until all the forest trolls were standing up, and then according to Han Shuo's orders, he pointed at Han Shuo with his empty left hand, and then pointed at himself with his empty left hand bone in the forest troll's puzzled gaze.
"He means that I will communicate with you as His messenger. Han Shuo straightened up and said to the old priest. As soon as Han Shuo's words fell, after his order was given, the little skeleton nodded very promptly, as if confirming what Han Shuo said.
"Why, why do you want this cunning human to be your emissary?" the old priest of the forest troll, apparently very unacceptable to this fact, immediately asked in confusion.
As soon as the old priest of the forest troll said a word, the little skull bone knife stretched out and was already on the old priest's neck. The little skeleton pressed its heels, trying to make itself taller, and the hollow two holes stared directly at the old priest, and the crunch of cold teeth came from his mouth.
The old priest of the forest troll was so frightened that his body immediately weakened, and then he bowed down again, raised his hands high and shouted, "I dare not question your decision again, please don't take everything from us!"
Some of the surrounding forest trolls, seeing the most respected old priest in the clan being threatened by the little skeleton, but no one dared to move, just stood there with their heads hanging and saying something in the language of the forest trolls.
"Get up, get up, your Lord Dadala has forgiven you, I think you can identify with me as an envoy now, right?" Han Shuo smiled secretly in his heart, but said to the old priest with a serious face.
Hanging his head, the old priest looked unclear, nodded and said, "Please come to our clan with Lord Dadala, we have something to honor Lord Dadala!"
"Didn't you come here this time to rob these dwarves?" Han Shuo was slightly stunned and asked.
"No, the last time I heard the people describe the appearance of the adults, I immediately arranged for the people to search for the traces of the adults. Those pesky dwarves are just a village of 100 people, and it's not worth using so many elites in our clan. We've heard that adults have appeared nearby, so this time we dispatched so many clansmen specifically to transport them back to the Holy Land. The Forest Troll Old Priest shook his head and explained to Han Shuo.
"Holy land, what holy land?" asked Han Shuo in surprise.
"The palace built by our clan for adults also contains ancient objects that have been passed down from generation to generation, and it is said that they originally belonged to Lord Dadala, and this time we will dedicate them to your lords. The old priest looked at Han Shuo with some disgust, but he didn't dare to disobey the little skeleton's order, and explained impatiently.
"Very good, very good, let's go!" As soon as he said this, Han Shuo was extremely happy in his heart, and immediately let out a long laugh, urging these forest trolls to set off quickly.
The old priest didn't say much, and after beckoning, the most powerful forest troll leader in the distance walked humbly towards the old priest. At his grunting command, the leader immediately gave the order, and the five or six hundred forest trolls did not continue to care about the affairs of the dwarves, and traveled to the depths of the dark forest.
An ornate palanquin made of black jade, inlaid with some bright gems and covered with soft feathers, was carried by four tall forest troll warriors to the depths of the dark forest, and it seemed that these forest trolls had been prepared.
The little skeleton lay inside comfortably and looked around, Han Shuo, as an envoy, could not enjoy this kind of treatment, he could only walk on foot like them. Along the way, I encountered many demonic beasts, but in the face of five or six hundred forest trolls, ordinary demonic beasts did not dare to approach at all, and even some third- and second-level fierce demonic beasts, seeing so many people in the vast range, also chose not to hunt anymore, and avoided these villain races with a large number of people far away.
On the outskirts of the dark forest, the greedy and plundering forest trolls are notorious and feared by outsiders. Whether it is some rare races living on the outskirts of the Dark Forest, or adventurers and merchants who come to the Dark Forest, as long as they are encountered by these forest trolls, they will inevitably be robbed.
In addition to some more powerful beings in the depths of the Dark Forest, these notorious villains on the outskirts of the Dark Forest are indeed shouted and feared by everyone. As the sworn enemies of the forest trolls, the elves have not been able to achieve absolute victory in repeated battles with the forest trolls, and no one can stop their heavenly predation.
Gradually, approaching the depths of the dark forest, as they slowly deepened, even these forest trolls who had just become arrogant began to appear a little cautious, as if they were afraid of making some big noise.
"Why are you so timid the further you go inside?" Han Shuo noticed the strangeness of the forest trolls, and couldn't help but ask the old priest next to him.
The old priest glanced left and right and explained: "Now that we have entered the middle level of the dark forest, there are many higher-level demonic beasts here, and there are some special races, and the humans who appear here are not very difficult to mess with, we don't want to provoke them, otherwise there will be trouble." ”
There was a rumbling sound, and from not far away, a terrifying white stone giant with a height of six or seven meters, carrying a large tree on his shoulder, gradually moved inside. After a low roar in the sky, a huge black shadow crossed over, and this shadow fell to the ground, reflecting two slender necks.
"The one covered in lime is the mountain giant, his surname is Gwen and he doesn't like fighting, but if you mess with him, it's a disaster. The lowest-level two-headed dragon that flew through the sky just now, they are actually not dragons, they are just a second-level magical beast, but they can spew venom, and they are not easy to deal with. Seeing Han Shuo's surprised face, the old priest opened his mouth to explain to Han Shuo.
Nodding, Han Shuo said with deep emotion, "I finally understand now why you only dare to be arrogant on the outskirts of the Dark Forest!"
