Chapter 87: The Goblin Tribe
Aior was the peak of the Arcane Empire during the Ofa period of Ethan, but by reaching out to the dangerous magic provided by the Netherworld, the plane exploded again after the elves, not only killing himself and destroying the empire, but also setting off a calamity war, causing the plane to suffer great trauma that has not been healed to this day.
Their creations have fallen into disrepair and gone completely insane, attacking all living things in front of them, and gathering large numbers of men to fight them every time they appear.
The Sierra Hilberquill is so close to civilization that it stands to reason that the nearby Eorian hunters have long since been cleared.
Could it be that there is some reason for the appearance of these energy suckers?
Everyone subconsciously thought that geological changes, digging through the mines, and other reasons might reveal the ruins of Aior, and release a large number of Aiorian hunters.
These ruins are full of hidden objects and knowledge from ancient times, and almost every strange object unearthed is priceless and sought after by the adventurous community.
Could it be that such a relic could be hidden in the Sierra Hilberquare today?
Pu Xi pondered, "Before going to the goblin tribe, how about we follow their footprints on the same road?" ”
"Hemp...... Bother. "Toga doesn't seem interested in the remnants of an ancient civilization.
Opportunities and risks have always coexisted.
Kad hesitated, as investigating the goblin tribes and ice and snow construction were both part of his mission, and it was not wise to explore the ruins without preparation.
Chen Zhou had an indifferent attitude: "Even if we four non-spellcasters really find the ruins, we won't survive." ”
What's more, his main body has already surveyed the surrounding area through the Holy Light Divine Envoy, and no obvious ruins have been found.
Opinions were not unanimous, so the resigned squad began their old method of resigned to fate.
Toga's tortoise shell is used as a divination prop to ask about nature.
However, the results of the divination were somewhat unexpected.
"Shun...... It's natural. ”
It means just do what you have to do.
To be honest, the result of this prophecy was not very convincing, but the team followed the old rules.
Ignoring the traces of the Energizing Beasts, Kad led the group closer to the red-skinned goblin tribe entrenched in the mountains.
Two days later, the group arrived at the destination of the trip, and looked at the local spirits working in the mountains and forests in the distance.
The non-combatants are responsible for chores such as farming, while the adult male goblins are out patrolling the mountains or raiding poorly secured villages.
Generally speaking, goblins alone are not even a match for children, but once such creatures form a numerical superiority in groups, they can become a difficult disaster to deal with.
Once they learn how to use tactics, the average team of adventurers may not be a match for this goblin.
On top of this, the Redskin tribes also received advanced weapons such as muskets......
"It's a bit of a hassle."
Cad, who is hidden in the mountains and forests, observes the state of the goblin tribe through a telescope.
He found that the tribe was huge, with plenty of food and other basic supplies, and even the young goblins seemed to be well fed and clothed.
The barbarian race of goblins will never be able to do this, and there must be some kind of funding from outside forces.
Over the years, Druvenlord has scouted the western mountain range and found no suspicious persons, indicating that most of the enemies are from the Marrow Valley or the Kling Dynasty.
"Or maybe the goblins got cutting-edge technology through archaeology?" Chen Zhou suddenly remembered the energy beast he had encountered before.
"What?"
The halfling didn't react for a while, what does cutting-edge technology have to do with archaeology?
Toga, who was closing his eyes and staring on the side, said slowly: "Aior." ”
The rest of the people suddenly realized that perhaps some of the ancient ruins had been excavated by Mount Hilberquier or some nearby force.
But firearms are actually a product of modern industry, starting with dwarven blacksmiths, carried forward by elves, and finally passed into the hands of humans.
Therefore, it is impossible for goblin firearms to be obtained by archaeology.
Chen Zhou spread his hands, and he guessed casually.
However, in fact, this red-skinned goblin tribe actually has some connection to the ruins of Aior.
That afternoon, Card saw through his telescope a group of goblin raiders with heavy casualties.
They hurriedly carried the wounded and corpses of their kind back to the tribe, looking like they had lost the battle.
But judging from the seriously mutilated limbs and hideous lacerations of the wounded and corpses, the reason why this group of goblins broke and sank into the sand was not ordinary.
It's like being gnawed by some kind of big monster......
The appearance of the Eorian Energizer appeared in everyone's minds at the same time.
It is said that the energy beast that attacked Chen Zhou and his party was not actually dead, but just fell off the cliff.
"Can you hear them?" Pu Xi looked at the scout with a complicated face, "Otherwise, I'll fly over and take a look." ”
The latter, of course, could not hear the conversation within the tribe, but was not in a hurry to gather information.
"Don't rush in, I'll disguise myself as a goblin from the Redskin Tribe tonight and go in to find out the news."
Halflings are similar in size to goblins, and can be disguised as other small races with a little dress.
But just as Tengu was relieved, Chen Zhou had already used "remote sensing" to project the audio-visual into the goblin tribe, and learned from the other party that the raider team had been killed.
It turned out that just two days ago, this group of goblin raiders had just come out of the mountain and had not had time to find a village to attack, when they were opened by six energy-absorbing beasts that fell from the sky.
Killing machines that have survived since time immemorial easily tore apart the goblins, nearly annihilating them.
Luckily, all of them were badly wounded, and were eventually brought back to life by the goblins who paid a heavy price.
Obviously, the energy beasts that attacked the goblins were the six who were shaken off the cliff by Puxi and Chen Zhou......
While lamenting the bad luck of this group of goblins, Chen Zhou investigated the environment in the camp by the way for the duration of the spell.
Among the various planes, goblins are a common and complex race.
They are weak, short-lived, cowardly, brutal, authoritarian, authority-worshipping and slightly witty, and know how to use traps, pets, slaves to make up for their shortcomings, and to sustain the tribe through the caste system.
For the average adventurer, a goblin is a goblin, and it's good to kill it when you see it.
But Chen Zhou wanted to know more about these common "classic fantasy races", so he unlocked the references in "Life Planning".
The goblin caste system is divided into four classes: whippers, hunters, gatherers, and untouchables, who receive education and resources based on status.
Adventurers are most often seen by a small number of hunters and a pluralistic group of untouchables, slaves, and beasts, with the latter being responsible for testing and filling in the lanes, while the hunters have similar combat power to the human profession.
But if you become arrogant because of this, you may be beaten by an elite team of whippers, hunters, and pets.
Fierce rats and wolves have always been with goblins as dogs are to humans, and the status of wolf cavalry is also quite noble among goblin tribes.
Speaking of creatures like wolves......
Chen Zhou suddenly remembered Spike, who had been forgotten by himself in Asta!
