Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead - Chapter 389: 375, Thin Stonework Brick_1

Chapter 389: Chapter 375, Thin Stonework Brick_1

Kaur Holy Mountain, Giant Spirit.

These two words made Fang Hao furrow his brows instantaneously.

Fang Hao did believe in the existence of spirits in this world.

After all, several idols were honored in his territory, which did indeed add attributes to the area.

However, the potential of a spirit slumbering in such arid mountains was something Fang Hao found hard to believe.

Slumbering in these mountains.

The conditions would be even worse for this spirit than his own.

“You’re saying that Kaius went to seek the Giant Spirit to deal with us, is that right?” asked Fang Hao.

The female troll, Stella, didn’t conceal anything, “Yes, human lord. The last conflict with the Undead caused a lot of dissatisfaction amongst the trolls against Kaius. Both inside and outside of the clan, he was heavily criticized. Kaius then took offerings to Kaur Holy Mountain to seek guidance from the spirit.”

Due to Stella’s status, she had more access to Kaius’s situation.

Kaius, under immense pressure, had faced difficulties which force alone could not resolve, leading him towards seeking the spirit.

Furthermore, the reason why the troll coalition chose to launch an attack on the Bloodthroat Tribe recently….

It was because they saw an opportunity to seize their city while Kaius wasn’t there.

“Does a spirit really reside there?” Fang Hao asked with a hint of doubt on his face.

Stella said with conviction, “Every troll living in the Blood Mountains firmly believes that the Kaur Holy Mountain is home to a slumbering spirit. This is particularly true for the Bloodthroat Tribe, as their new Clan Leaders have to make offerings to the Kaur Holy Mountain.”

Suddenly, Fang Hao felt something was amiss.

Didn’t the trolls worship the Slaughter God?

He had found a statue of the trolls’ worship of the Slaughter God in the ‘Tomb of the Dragon’, and saw a collapsed Slaughter God Statue in the city just now.

Could the Slaughter God be the spirit slumbering there?

“Is the Slaughter God the one residing in Kaur Holy Mountain?” Fang Hao asked, voicing his doubts.

“Not exactly, Milord. The Slaughter God is of spiritual importance to Trolls because he gives them the courage and strength to win every battle, and the belief that they can challenge the strong. The Giant Spirit, on the other hand, gives trolls enlightenment and guidance when they are lost,” Stella explained earnestly.

It seemed these beliefs had been deeply rooted into the hearts of every troll.

“Has anyone seen the Giant Spirit? What does it look like?”

“I… I’m not entirely sure. Only the Bloodthroat Clan Leader has the privilege of making offerings to the gods,” Stella answered hesitantly.

“So, is there any reward or benefit received in return for these offerings?” Fang Hao continued to probe.

“The guidance of the Spirit. Kaius will bring back the guidance to share with the rest of the tribe,” Stella responded.

By this point, Fang Hao had formed his own speculation.

The Giant Spirit could be one of two things.

The first possibility was that the spirit did not exist at all, and was invented by the leaders of the tribes to control their people.

Whenever they encountered some difficulties, they would use the guidance of this invented spirit as an excuse to give orders.

The second possibility was that there was indeed a powerful creature offering some help to the trolls.

However, the chances of its existence were very slim, almost non-existent.

“Do you know where Kaur Holy Mountain is? Point it out to me.”

A model of the Blood Mountains was brought forth.

Fang Hao rose from his seat and approached the model.

[Detailed Model (Wind Mountain Range)].

Stella stood up and pointed to a location on the model.

It was located to the northwest of this city, quite a distance away indeed.

“Is there anyone else living on that mountain?”

“I’m not quite sure about this, but I believe there is indeed a tribe that dwells there to guard the spirit from disturbances,” Stella continued to respond.

With a nod, Fang Hao logged her words into his memory.

He proceeded to say: “Alright, you mentioned that you also know the location of the Bloodthroat Treasure Vault. Just lead my men to it.”

“Yes, human lord, but I still hope that you can spare me, and the women in the dungeon. We do not pose any threat to you,” Stella pleaded once again, giving another curtsey.

“Alright, I’ll consider it.”

The Black Sword led a group of soldiers in and took Stella away from the Clan Leader’s Hall to locate the treasure vault she mentioned.

…

After Stella’s departure, the hall was returned to silence once again.

While standing in front of the model, the Book of Lords released a soft glow and swept over the model.

[Blood Mountain Range model has been recorded, the complete Blood Mountain Range map can be viewed on the Book of Lords – Map page.]

Similar to the previous models.

After it was recorded, the map of the entire mountain range was integrated into the main map.

All the terrain features of the mountain range, winding routes, tribes’ locations were all revealed.

What Xu Yang had given him was only the straight-route map from the Rock’s Head Tribe to the Bloodthroat Tribe.

Whereas, the model was a map of the entire mountain range.

It was much more precise and clear compared to the map Xu Yang had given him.

After the map was logged.

Fang Hao settled himself back on the throne.

He continued to view the Book of Lords.

From the start, once he took the Clan Leader’s seat, the system had issued a prompt that he had taken over the Bloodthroat Tribe.

However, he was discussing with Stella at the time and didn’t have a chance to check it out.

[Bloodthroat Tribe has become your subordinate city, you can ‘rename’ it here, and control all resources of the tribe and affiliated villages.]

Bloodthroat Tribe and the Blood Mountain Range seemed a bit too bloody.

After some thought, as he checked the map,

This city, located to the north of his main city, could be the first line of defense against the northern trolls.
