Volume 1 The Awakening of the Lion Cub Chapter 27 The Truth of the World

"Its body was long, like a giant lizard, and when one of its feet trampled down, more than twenty barbarian warriors were trampled to pulp! It had nine heads, some spewing fire, some spewing ice, and some spewing poisonous mist...... True to the legend, it's a monster that can destroy the world!"

"The chief I trained to lead the barbarian tribe, when facing the hydra, roared loudly, I don't know why, he just stood in place, motionless, and finally swallowed by a snake head!"

"I did my best to look at the hellish sight, I tried my best to use the most powerful martial arts I had ever mastered, but when my great axe slashed at its body, it didn't even cut off a single scale......"

At the mention of the monster's incredible defenses, Basso Natu's voice paused, and though he tried to continue, he opened his mouth and could say nothing more.

"Okay, I got it...... Is that what you said to my father?" Will interrupted Bassol Natu's narration, for what he had told was so bizarre that he could not imagine the sights he had depicted in his mind...... Perhaps, as he said, this needs to be witnessed to be believed.

"That's right, I said that to your father as well...... However, he seemed to know that this was happening, and he took the initiative to come to me for cooperation. ”

"Oh?"

“...... Don't know why, Will. Whenever I see your father, I feel like he's in control behind the scenes...... But I also know that this is just an unrealistic fantasy...... Two months ago, after your father had found me, he had come up with the idea of letting the barbarians go south in search of a new home...... He also said to me very kindly that it would get colder and colder in the north......"

"This ...... Two months ago?"

"Yes, that's right, it was ...... two months ago"

Will struggled to remember, two months ago......

Two months ago, when he and his father were still at home, my father told him to prepare and lead his people to Ivey Province. And he himself disappeared the next day......

I think of the previous time when my father took him to the battlefield of the Kingdom League and the Roman Empire, and saw Kyle Kerland's god-like abilities, and then I heard Uncle Coen mention the heroic powerhouse found in the Kingdom League camp......

Will's mind suddenly brightened!

This should be my father's handiwork......

Perhaps because his father was only a high-ranking warrior, Basso Natu subconsciously ignored his importance......

Taking a deep breath and burying the secret deep in his heart, Will took the initiative to divert the topic, he made a puzzled expression and asked, "By the way, why are you telling me this?"

Hearing Will's question, Basso Natu instinctively felt that he was hiding something, but when he saw the trace of disdain and impatience deliberately shown at the corner of Will's mouth, he couldn't help but sigh - such an expression he had seen on the faces of the people who had already died, and the chief who was standing inexplicably waiting for death......

He must have deliberately diverted the topic because he didn't believe what he said...... But...... He still had to answer.

"Weren't you about to kill me then?"

"Yes, that's right. ”

"Although...... Your methods are disgraceful, but at that time, my fighting spirit inexplicably failed, and in that moment, you were almost going to kill me...... But then, time suddenly stood still. ”

"Oh?"

"I can even feel the chill on your blade, however, a ...... I'm sorry, I can't say!"

"Can't you say it? Why can't you say it?"

In the face of Will's questioning, Basso Natu hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking: "I only mention one thing, we may be pawns of those gods...... The decline of the Roman Empire was predictable, and the Roman gods who were enshrined in the temple of the gods, because of the excessive oppression of their believers, should soon lose their power to dominate the world...... So...... There are some gods who have prevented you from killing me, but at the same time they have warned me not to cooperate with you, and your father Richard, to build your homeland, and not to have any more thoughts that should not be had......"

Basso Natu said cautiously, as if he was afraid, afraid of the gods, who seemed to know everything......

Seeing Basso Natu so frightened, Will couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it turned out that the powerhouses above mortals were also afraid of the gods......

His current appearance reminds him of his father, who took his mother and himself with him when he was young, running away from the pursuit of the Council of Elders......

But......

According to Basso Natu, he was warned, which is why he ...... himself so much Respectful.

And it was a god who warned him......

Jinni......

Is it Hydra?

At this point, Will finally remembered to make a small gesture to make himself trust her girl......

I couldn't help but lick my lips......

Hydra is a god? shouldn't it......

Moreover...... She's not fierce......

Probably not......

Will subconsciously glanced at Basso Natu, who was not a strong man now, and then drove the idea of Hydra threatening Basso Natu out of his mind.

How could it be, such a cute girl!

"Ahem!" Finally remembering that there was someone around him, Will quickly coughed twice, pretending to be unwell, and gave Cui Ming, who was standing behind Basso Natu who was fascinated by the sound, and asked him to help himself up...... After sitting up straight on the bed, Will nodded, made a serious appearance and said, "Me too, that's why I couldn't kill you at the last minute." ”

"Hmm...... Did you see her too?The god?no wonder......" Basso Natu nodded and continued: "No wonder the flow of time around you and me has stopped, and after time resumes flowing, you suddenly fell to the ground as if you were stationary, and the battle qi contained in your long sword also dissipated in an instant...... Really, I was almost killed by you......"

"Huh...... It's all a coincidence. Glancing sideways at Cui Ming, who was deliberately overexerting himself, and enduring the pain he felt due to exhaustion, Will snorted and smiled at Basso Natu: "That's no wonder...... So, what will you do in the future?"

"Yes, this is an unavoidable topic after all......" Basso Natu lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said solemnly, "Please forget about the unpleasant things that happened last night...... Will, I believe, you should be as sane as your father. I have been observing for a long time, and there is nothing missing in the construction of your new home...... In addition to manpower, so ...... I can have my people come to your camp and help you gather wood, and I can recruit for you a barbarian guard of 100 men among the barbarians who have fled with me down the snowfield...... You can use them however you want...... What do you think?"

"Hmm...... 100 people, it shouldn't be a big problem, our supplies, there are still a lot left. Even if the barbarians have a larger amount of food than our holy clans, I can let them come to the Forest of Warcraft to hunt...... But I have a question, why would you compromise to such an extent, even if so much happened, and still choose to cooperate with us?" Will asked.

"Compromise? maybe...... You don't know, Will, that in ancient times, there were many races living on this continent, and yet most of them were extinct. Do you know why, because, in the game between the gods, they are on the side of the vanquished......" Basso Natu sighed and continued: "For a thousand years, since the Terrans, under the leadership of their strong men, occupied most of the continent, they established the so-called Roman Republic and offered peace agreements with all races, including us barbarians...... Whether forced, or desperately yearning for peace like a fairy...... Later, although the war continued, it was almost never the same as in antiquity...... As a result, there are fewer and fewer people who break away from the ordinary world and become strong. ”

"Oh?" said Will, at the right moment, with a look of interest as Bassol Natu spoke, but he had seen these things long ago, on the scroll that recorded the secrets of history.

“...... The strong are born to shelter the weak...... Now, whoever becomes a strong man has an obligation to shelter his own people, whether they want to ...... In other words, if the race is used as a bargaining chip for the gods to play with each other, then the strong is the most powerful chess piece in their hands...... We can't decide whose pawns we become, because if we don't have value, we won't even be looked at and discarded......! Now that we've been chosen, we're going to have to follow her all the way to the end! or lose...... Win or win!" Basso Natu's face rarely showed a hint of mockery, and his voice was distorted and crazy like it had never been!

Looking at the crazy Basso Natu, Will suddenly felt something familiar...... Where does he seem to have seen it?

Soon, he remembered......

This kind of madness also appeared in his own father......

His own father, Richard, joined the game of the gods even earlier than Basso Natu......

It's just that I haven't noticed it...... My father is committed to the rise of the race, but in fact, he has become a pawn of some god......

After listening to Basso Natu's story today, Will suddenly understood the truth of the world......

It turns out that it's just their game......

But it's also ...... Our chance!
