Chapter 217: Cultivating Demons? Vaccine?
Noah didn't know why the scorpion suddenly fell to the ground.
However, when Thor also gave him a fluent language, he finally understood that the scorpion had thought of Thor as a god.
In the wizarding world, there are also people in some backward places or remote areas of the continent who believe in gods.
However, most people still respect shamans.
And the stronger the power of the wizards, the more ashamed they are to believe in the gods.
This is even more true in the Borderlands.
No matter how powerful the dwarves or barbarians were, the humans who were wizard slaves would despise them.
So, at first, Noah thought that Thor would refuse and correct the scorpion's name.
Thor, however, acquiesced.
Noah's eyes widened slightly.
He looked at the scorpion, who was becoming more and more respectful to Thor and answering the question seriously, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind.
Thor asked Algae to split into a clone, pulling Noah on one side and carrying the scorpion on the other, and he used his flying skills to return to Noah's hut as fast as he could.
After returning to the hut, Thor did not let the scorpion into the house, and began to question him directly on the small hill outside.
"Where are you from? Come over and do what? ”
The scorpion was put down by the algae and was about to lie on the ground again, but it was lifted by Thor by the neck.
"I don't like you to lie on the ground and talk, just stand up and answer."
Scorpion hesitated, "But Grandpa said that he would pay the greatest respect to the gods. ”
"Did your grandfather tell you that the gods hate disobedient believers?"
The scorpion was stunned for a moment, and understood for a long time what the believer meant, but he still compromised and did not try to lie on the ground again.
"I'm from my tribe, right on the edge of this plain of black death."
Scorpion said that his father died while out looking for food, and that his mother was forced to come of age after marrying other men in the tribe because no one wanted to support him.
Adults must go outside the tribe to hunt a monster and come back, otherwise they are not eligible to start a family in the original tribe.
But the scorpion's ability is not strong, and for various reasons, the people in the tribe did not help him complete the hunt.
So he originally wanted to go a little deeper into the Plains of the Black Death and make a trap to capture a gold-swallowing rat, but he didn't expect to accidentally run deep and attract the Withered Vine, and was finally rescued by Noah, who was opening the map.
Noah also didn't expect that the black desert, which had been so quiet that it could make people go crazy, would be so dangerous.
Saul tells Noah not to speak and maintain the persona.
"Where is your tribe?"
The scorpion looked around, "I can't see clearly now, but I'll be able to see it when it's dawn." My tribe is in the middle of two great mountains, and it takes twelve days and nights to come here. ”
The scorpion raised its hands, and the fingers were not enough, and the deformed hands located at the tail vertebrae were also counted.
I almost can't count them.
Thor continued to ask, "How many people are in your tribe?" ”
The scorpion shook his head directly, "I don't know, it's a lot." ”
It's too many fingers to count.
"How many more places like your tribe are?"
"I know three of them, but we rarely interact with each other, and normally only when we change species."
After asking the scorpion a few more questions, Thor learned that most of the people here lived underground, surrounding the Black Dead Plains where he was.
This plain of black death is dangerous, but there are also many monsters. A few weak monsters are the food source for most people.
It's just that very few people enter the deepest part of the Black Death Plains, which is here in Thor. Because the people who come in are either mad or dead.
Finally, Thor asked about the third hand of the scorpion he was most interested in.
The scorpion didn't think there was anything wrong with himself with such hands. I just feel that my hands are too weak.
"Do you all have long hands here?"
The scorpion felt that the god in front of him did not seem to be as omniscient and omnipotent as his grandfather had said, and he held his third hand, which seemed to be burned.
"Do you mean the Demon Limbs? We all have it, but each of us has a different limb. Some people have wings like birds, and some have beaks like crocodiles. ”
"Every child is born with a demon, and those who survive will have their own demon limbs, and those who die will be sold."
"What if you don't plant demons?" Thor asked.
The scorpion looked a little surprised, he thought about it carefully, and finally dug out a deep memory, "The only child I remember who didn't plant demons turned into monsters when he was five years old, and I heard that he ate their entire tribe. ”
According to Scorpion, a person who does not grow demons may become monsters at a few years old.
Noah listened with relish, but he endured it and didn't interject without Thor's permission.
"Demons? Demon limbs? If you don't plant demons, you will become a monster. Thor clasped his chin in one hand over his chest, "It's a little bit like a newborn baby getting vaccinated." But the vaccines here are pretty ruthless. It sounds like the survival rate of vaccination is not very high, and it will not last for several years without vaccination. ”
"It should have something to do with the black powder that is everywhere in this world."
"Maybe people in this world have been studying black powder for a long time. Their research results may be helpful to me and my seniors in the inertization formula. ”
As a result of the questioning, Thor is even more determined to explore the world in depth.
It's just that there's no rush yet.
Noah still needs time to grow, and he also needs to prepare for the promotion to the third order.
And after he becomes a third-order, it should be safer to explore this chaotic domain in depth.
Let's get in touch with this world through the scorpion first.
Thor held out his hand to the deformed arm of the scorpion in his arms, "I'll take a look." ”
The scorpion was a little nervous, but he still controlled the charred misshapen arm and placed it in Thor's palm.
Thor's spiritual power is deep in it, "Sure enough, there is also black powder in the demon limbs, but it will be slightly more active than the black powder underground." ”
Thor asked about the way the scorpion planted the demon, and the scorpion told the truth.
"You just said that your demon limbs are not very strong, how does this compare?"
The scorpion replied more carefully, "My demon limbs are only a little stronger, and they are not very long, and they can be used for sneak attacks occasionally, but they are not as powerful as the others in the tribe. So my new father didn't want to raise me, so he lied and said that I was an adult. Actually, I'm only eight years old, and I'm ...... ten years old."
The scorpion counted on his fingers, "It's still two years away!" ”
It turns out that this is the so-called forced growth - lying about age.
Thor nodded, suddenly raised his hand and tapped twice on the scorpion's deformed arm, then stretched out his arm and pointed at the center of the scorpion's eyebrows.
The scorpion was horrified, thinking that the gods were going to attack him, and fell in response.
However, when he sat on the ground, he found that he was not dead or injured, but his scalp was a little itchy.
Thor waved his hand again, and the scorpion, who had just wanted to ask what was going on, rolled his eyes and fainted.
"I planted parasites in the scorpion's body. I'll teach you how to control it in a moment. You live here with the scorpion first, unless you can perform Tier 1 sorcery, otherwise you don't rush to find those tribes. ”
Noah nodded repeatedly.
"When I have time, I'll go see the tribes first. You still walk around the hut for the time being, beware of the monsters in their mouths. ”
Noah continued to nod obediently.
Thor left him a new crystal and a few scrolls, and when the time was up, he left the Chaos Realm.
And after Thor left, Noah, who was still well-behaved, suddenly looked at the scorpion.
"Gods?" He smiled, "To regard the mentor as a god is really a backward and ignorant world." ”
"But...... It's not bad for my mentor to be God. ”
His eyes gradually became feverish, "The mentor wants to explore this world, but my strength alone is too weak, and the mentor is very busy...... Then I can give this task to the believers. ”
"When the time comes, the world will be all the mentor's! The Guru will become the true god of this world! ”
Noah grinned and smiled so happily!
