Chapter 141: Worship of the Divine Messenger
Han Shuo's arrival was greeted with unanimous cheers from the forest trolls, and after the old priest came over tremblingly, he immediately bowed down and exclaimed with tears in his eyes, "Great God Dadara and the messenger, you have finally returned. ”
Taking in the surrounding situation, Han Shuo suddenly had an inexplicable feeling in his heart. Logically speaking, these forest trolls were the most greedy predators, and Han Shuo should have hated them, but now looking at these forest trolls, treating themselves as divine envoys, and obeying all his orders, Han Shuo suddenly felt that they didn't seem so hateful either.
Looting is the natural surname of this race, and according to the rules of survival of the fittest in the dark forest, what they do is acceptable. Just like some large demonic beasts, the heavenly surname captures some low-level demonic beasts to eat, and the forest trolls also do this.
Looking at it, all the forest trolls, both young and old, were looking at him with blank eyes, and in that gaze was the most devout trust of a religious person, as if one of his own orders could make them die and live without hesitation, this feeling made Han Shuo feel a little strange.
"Be of good cheer, your god Dadara will never forsake you. Looking around, Han Shuo was silent for a while, and then spoke in a solemn voice.
The old priest cheered with tears in his eyes, and all the forest trolls cheered loudly with their empty pockets. It seemed that Han Shuo's assurances were enough to make them forget all their predicaments.
From the space ring, sacks of grain were taken out and piled up on the stone ground where the snow was removed, and all kinds of thick cotton clothes and supplies appeared in front of these forest trolls, making the forest trolls who were suffering from the pain of winter dance happily one by one.
"All of these things are for you this winter. A few warehouses of grain are enough for you to survive this cold winter without looting, and the god Dadara went out to gather these things for his people. Han Shuo's deep voice spread melodiously throughout the entire forest troll village.
Led by the old priest with gratitude, all the forest trolls bowed down. Then the old priest ordered him to go down, and the troll leader commanded the men to carry the food and supplies back to the cave behind.
Han Shuo followed behind the old priest and came to the rearranged temple in the village, where not only did he set up the appearance of a small skeleton, but even Han Shuo's stone statue stood up in the same way, which made Han Shuo's heart feel even more peculiar, and faintly felt as if he had truly become their protector.
"When I first came in, I saw traces of fighting outside the village. Isn't it those nasty elves who have started a war again?" After coming in with the little skeleton, an order was given, and the little skeleton sat on the upper seat by himself, Han Shuo looked at the old priest and asked.
"Tell the oracle, it is indeed those annoying elves who have come to provoke the battle once again. But rest assured, your brave people will never let the elves succeed, and under the light of the great god Dadara, the elves will once again retreat in embarrassment. The old priest's face shone brightly, and he shouted very confidently.
With a wave of his hand, Han Shuo stopped the old priest's continued stinky fart, thought for a moment and ordered, "The food and supplies brought this time are enough for you to use for a winter, if there are any more merchants who want to exchange those weird things from your hands, you can exchange them with them."
In addition, without my instructions, don't go out to loot this winter for the time being, we can do a lot of them, and small fights are not the way. The god Dadara will find the target and inform you, so you don't have to worry about running out of work to do. And how many elves came this time, and when did they start fighting with you, tell me about the matter in detail. ”
Under Han Shuo's instructions, the old priest agreed to Han Shuo's request without asking for any reason. He immediately ordered a forest troll warrior next to him to inform the troll leader of Han Shuo's two requests.
Then the old priest carefully explained the battle process with the elves to Han Shuo. From the old priest's statement, Han Shuo knew that every winter, the elves would always have a big battle with the forest trolls, because only at this time, the forest trolls' food supplies and weapons could not be guaranteed, and this was also the time when the forest trolls' combat effectiveness was at its lowest.
This time, the elves, as in previous years, took advantage of the fact that the forest trolls could not loot in the cold winter, and took the opportunity to strike a blow. However, the elves who are not as numerical as the forest trolls can't have the absolute upper hand every time, and they have just carried out a tentative attack, so they hide again to discuss the next step.
From the old priest's mouth, Han Shuo knew that the forest troll race had many tribes large and small in the dark forest, because it had the duty of guarding the great sacred land of Dadara, and this tribe had more than five hundred forest troll warriors, so the old priest, the forest troll tribe, had a certain constraint on the other forest troll races in the dark forest.
Now, because of the appearance of the little skeleton and Han Shuo, the old priest, in the name of the little skeleton and Han Shuo, just took the opportunity to give an order to gather all the forest trolls scattered in all directions, intending to teach the elves a painful lesson.
Because the god of Dadara is the god of the forest trolls, and now the appearance of the little skeleton is immeasurable, so in just ten days, more than 300 forest trolls from four small tribes have rushed over, intending to worship the glory of the little skeleton.
According to the old priest, the forest trolls of various tribes in the dark forest will gather in a short period of time, and when that time comes, this time the elves' attack will not only be difficult to get the desired effect, but may also face painful losses.
Originally, Han Shuo was worried that the elves would kill most of the forest trolls, but he didn't expect that because of the appeal of the little skeletons, they were scattered all over the dark forest, and they had never been in contact with each other, and they all rushed here like a pilgrimage. From the old priest's words, Han Shuo knew that once these forest trolls were all gathered, the total number would not be less than two thousand.
The elves in the dark forest seem to be only a few hundred people, although they have some archers and magicians, but in the face of several times more forest trolls, it is still very likely that they will lose their money.
Rubbing his head, Han Shuo had a headache, and after thinking about it for a while, he said, "It seems that it is the elves that should be worried about this time, well, it is said that the elves are very wealthy, I think we should rob them all." ”
"What does the messenger mean?" the old priest was stunned for a moment, and then asked suspiciously.
"Do you know where the elves live in the Dark Forest?" Han Shuo thought for a moment and asked.
The old priest was stunned for a moment, then frowned and pondered for a moment before he spoke: "We know the general location, but we have never been in. ”
Nodding, Han Shuo smiled and said, "That's good, wait until the forest trolls of other tribes come over, and they will stay and contain the elves, and our tribe will go to the place where the elves live, and take advantage of this opportunity to rob the elves' homes." ”
"But why don't we, messengers, stay and join our brothers from the other tribes and kill all the elven warriors? These elves are really very hateful, they will always cause trouble, constantly sabotage our operations, and they will take advantage of the winter to provoke a battle with us every year, and many people have been killed by the elves over the years. The old priest was stunned, and finally for the first time, he didn't blindly follow Han Shuo's proposal, but instead asked suspiciously.
"The surname of our forest trolls is to rob and not kill, and the current elves in the dark forest are not all of this race, if we kill all the elves here, it will bring us more trouble, which is unnecessary. "For Han Shuo, it is indeed not necessary to let the forest trolls and elves fight to the death, and Han Shuo does not want to kill all the elves, now what Han Shuo needs is wealth, and he needs a lot of money to support his cultivation of magic skills and magic, so he will propose this.
Although he still didn't understand a little, the old priest didn't continue to say anything. After a few more days, more forest trolls arrived from all sides. Han Shuo and the little skeleton received the tidal wave of cheers, and after worshipping sincerely, they were left behind by some forest trolls from other places to confront those original elves, while Han Shuo and the little skeleton went to the village where the elves lived with the five hundred forest trolls in the old priest's tribe.
In the cold winter, these five hundred forest trolls carried enough food and thick cotton clothes to carry sharp weapons in their hands to travel deeper into the dark forest.
