Warhammer Wizard - Chapter 1036
This troll-hunting team has clearly achieved its goal.
Their mounts were carrying all kinds of prey. In the middle of the team was a triceratops with a length of five or six meters, and a huge wild boar corpse was carried on its back. The faces of each troll showed a happy look. Conversing with the clansmen was full of laughter and laughter.
Ren did not alert these trolls, inspired the rainbow cloak to enter stealth, and silently followed behind the hunting team, maintaining a certain distance.
He carefully observed the dozen or so trolls.
They are similar to the trolls outside the southern continent, with two huge curved fangs sticking out from the mouth of the male, while the female has no tusks, and instead has lower canines that grow into fangs.
But regardless of gender, each troll is strong and vigorous, with black totems smeared on the exposed skin, and they did not relax their vigilance during the journey, and their sharp eyes glanced around from time to time, falling to the potentially dangerous places in the forest.
Obviously, this group of trolls has extremely high intelligence and is not as degenerate as the trolls from the outside world.
The headed troll warrior is a legendary beginner.
The rest of the trolls also have mid-level strength. There is also a priest in the team who has the ability to cast spells. He is respected by other trolls and has a high status.
The language they use is relatively unfamiliar, and Ren can only understand a small number of words, which is three-point similar to a very old troll language that he has mastered.
After more than 20,000 years, the languages may have been completely different.
Ren decisively opened the “Translation Dictionary”.
At the beginning, he could only understand part of it, and soon he understood more and more. When he followed the hunting party for more than two hours, he had mastered the language.
From the troll’s few words, Ren learned that the hunting party belonged to a tribe called the “Darkbranch Tribe”.
The Darkbranch tribe and the dozen or so troll tribes around all believe in the “God of the Night” Sirik!
Ren was shocked when he heard the words “God of the Night”.
At first I thought I heard it wrong.
After that, the trolls mentioned the “God of the Night” many times, and he was sure that he heard correctly, these trolls really believed in a god.
As can be guessed from the honorable name, Siric’s priesthood is “Night”.
This is a very powerful priesthood. However, it belongs to the priesthood of Elna, the goddess of the dark moon of the elves. How can there be a **** of night in the southern continent?
A priesthood does not have to have only one god.
However, the gods will never allow other gods to encroach on their own priesthood, which will shake their own teachings, be detrimental to the development of believers, and eventually lead to the weakening of their divine power. Once a deity chooses a priesthood that already belongs to it, another deity will immediately notice it, and a battle of gods will be triggered!
Ren has known Eluna, the **** of the dark moon, who is said to be a very benevolent **** of goodness.
However, no matter how merciful, Eluna will never allow the existence of a second God of the Night. Even if there is a barrier of the ancient saint altar, he will come in at any cost.
“what happened?”
Ren didn’t understand for a while, and followed the hunting team to the end.
This is a tribe built in the forest. The trolls have carved out open spaces on the hillside and built buildings with rocks and logs. From top to bottom, the entire tribe is divided into several layers. The bottom layer is not far from the river, with a population of 2,000. Between 3,000 and 3,000, the scale is equivalent to a human town.
The architectural style of the tribe seems primitive, but the layout is very reasonable.
On the outermost side are fences and sentry towers, each platform has a different function, holding ceremonies, raising livestock, living, combat training and so on.
There are black totems standing everywhere in the tribe, it is a hideous monster, it seems to be a giant bat. There are piles of corpses under the totem, some of which are still bloody, obviously they have just been sacrificed. There is a temple built of boulders on the uppermost platform. It is heavily guarded, and the trolls dare not approach it at will, and it exudes a gloomy atmosphere.
The return of the hunting party caused a burst of cheers, but soon calmed down again.
Ren hovered at an altitude of one thousand meters, glanced at the tribe, and the Voice of All Things listened to the voices of the trolls talking in the tribe.
After a while.
His eyes looked at the temple, and he said, “God Loa?”
Loa!
This is one of the most frequently mentioned words by trolls, referring to the gods they worship. This tribe and the trolls of the other three nearby tribes have the same bloodline. They are a branch of the forest trolls and form the “Darkbranch Tribe”.
The loa worshiped by the Darkbranch tribe is called “Cyric”, and the trolls call it the **** of the night.
The wider forest, including the Darkbranch clan, and a dozen other troll clans also profess Loasiric.
These tribes revolve around “Aviken”.
It was a city of trolls, ruled by the most powerful of the followers of Cyric, the Black Fang, and the gods of Loa lived in the great temples of Avikon.
Ren looked into the distance.
There is the direction of Avikon, and the trolls bow down there when they pray.
Unsurprisingly, Aviken is home to the Altar of the Ancients.
He did not go to Aviken immediately, and his eyes fell on the temple in the tribe again. In addition to the hundreds of trolls guarding the temple, there were more than a dozen priests. Troll priests are not pure spellcasters. In addition to their spellcasting abilities, they are also very powerful in melee combat.
Priests belong to the ruling class of the tribe and maintain the faith of the faithful in the loa.
At the same time, priests also possess knowledge that ordinary trolls cannot reach.
Such as the ancient holy rune!
Ren saw the ancient holy script on the wall of the temple, which should be a variant evolved from the ancient holy rune.
“That’s what I want.”
Ren was overjoyed, and he spent a lot of time entering the Southern Continent in order to learn the knowledge of the ancient saint’s runes and decipher the ancient saint’s altar.
He glanced at the troll tribe again, and determined that the most powerful chief was just a legendary high-ranking warrior, so he did not hesitate and decided to take action immediately.
But just in case, do a good job of disguising first.
Ren took off the mithril light armor on his body, and his body began to change. A pair of fangs more than ten centimeters long stretched out from his mouth. The tip of his nose was elongated, and his ears became larger and longer than those of an elf, with the tips of the ears facing the brain. He swept back, his skin turned turquoise, his back was slightly hunched, his arms were stretched to his knees, his pupils also changed from black to green, and he turned into a forest troll in the blink of an eye.
He reached into the void, grabbed a set of warrior leather armor from one of the tribe’s rooms, and put it on.
Finally, take out a few pieces of adamantine and iron ingots and melt them into a rough one-handed axe.
This is one of the most common weapons used by troll warriors.
Ren’s eyes locked on a priest in the tribe. This was an elderly troll with gray hair and a half-broken fang. His face was full of wrinkles and his eyes were cloudy, but his body was still extremely strong, and the eyes of the soul showed He is a Legendary Middle Priest.
There is no priest more powerful than him in the entire tribe. He has both melee combat and spellcasting abilities, and his overall strength may be better than that of the chief.
At this moment, the old priest is sitting at home not far from the temple, copying words on the animal skin.
“You are the one.”
Ren made a mind jump and appeared behind the troll priest.
The opponent responded very quickly, jumped up without looking back, pulled a sharp dagger from his waist, and stabbed the enemy behind him.
However, Wren was faster.
boom!
The back of the one-handed axe hit the priest’s head, and a layer of black protection emerged, which was smashed through like a piece of paper in an instant, and the priest was knocked unconscious on the spot.
A portal opened next to it, and the mind force field bound the priest’s body, entering the portal and disappearing.
From start to finish in less than a second.
The troll guards outside the door were completely unaware that the priest was kidnapped.
In the forest dozens of miles away from the tribe, the troll priest let out a painful groan, gradually woke up, remembered the situation before he fainted, and suddenly jumped up, realizing that all his witchcraft had failed, and his body was also shattered. very weak.
Immediately, he saw a strange forest troll, but judging from his appearance and leather armor, he was also a member of the Darkbranch tribe.
“You attacked me?” the old priest asked cautiously.
“Priest Hazura!”
Ren suddenly called out the name of the troll, the old priest’s expression changed, and his voice contained a power that he could not resist. He subconsciously looked at the other party’s eyes, only to feel that the other party’s eyes had supreme power, and he The orders of this great being must be obeyed.
Hazura’s eyes were confused for a moment, then became clear again, and replied, “Yes.”
Nine Rings Brainwashing!
Ren breathed a sigh of relief. This mental spell from the master brain of the spirit sucking monster originally only had the eighth level. Although he was promoted to the ninth level very early, he hardly ever used it.
The effect of brainwashing is similar to mind control, the control is weaker and easier to be resisted by the target, but there is an advantage that the controlled target can keep his own mind.
If you need to torture the enemy, brainwashing is undoubtedly better than mind control.
The Eye of the Soul looked at Priest Hazura.
The troll was indeed in a state of being controlled, and it wasn’t faked, so Ren asked with confidence: “Priest Hazzura, do you know this rune?”
He took out an animal skin with several ancient saint runes written on it, and showed it in front of the other party.
“Rune!”
Hazura’s eyes lit up and replied: “Know! This is an ancient rune, which was taught to the troll ancestors by the great Protoss, mastering the rune can master witchcraft! Every priest must learn it. Runes, the more runes you have, the more powerful the witchcraft will be.”
The answer from the troll priest was as expected by Ren.
The Ancient Sage Rune must have its own name among the trolls, but he did not expect that the trolls would regard the Ancient Sage as a Protoss.
“How many runes do you know?” Ren asked again.
“One hundred and fifty.” Hazura answered honestly, pointing to the hide, “The rune I have is different from the ones on this one.”
Ren said strangely: “So few?”
Hazura explained: “I’m just a high priest, and it’s hard to master a hundred and fifty runes. If you want to know more runes, go to the powerful ‘loa priests’ who Serving the great Loa, living in the temple of Loa, you can come into contact with a large number of runes. Each priest of Loa masters at least a thousand runes.”
Ren nodded.
He had eavesdropped on the tribal conversation before, and he knew that the power division of trolls was completely different from that of the intelligent races in the outside world.
The improvement of the strength of the troll is also the transformation of the soul.
The first to the third soul transformation belonged to ordinary warriors or priests, but the number of soul transformations was not used as the standard. The only criterion for measuring strength was the record!
As long as you can defeat many opponents and make a name for yourself in the clan, you can get an “elite” title.
Such as elite warriors, elite hunters.
Even if there is only one soul transformation, if he can defeat other elite-level opponents, he is eligible to become an elite, but not every troll is an elite. Even if there are three soul transformations, he may just be an ordinary warrior, and the ratio of elites is less than one in ten.
After the fourth soul transformation, the troll reached the legend and was promoted to the “high-level”.
There are no elites among the high ranks, but there are “lords”.
There are fewer lords, usually tribal leaders or spiritual leaders, who have a very high position of strength among trolls.
Hazura is a high priest, but not at the level of a priest-lord.
A step above the high-level is “Loa”, which is equivalent to the outside world’s holy-level powerhouse, known as the Loa warrior or the Loa priest.
These most powerful trolls usually serve the loa and are servants of the gods.
In the southern continent, Loa rules everything!
Ren thought to himself that a priest of Loa mastered at least a thousand ancient saint runes, and he had collected more than fifty thousand ancient saint runes, and there may be more in the future. Ordinary priests can only master the relatively simple ancient holy runes, and there are a lot of repetitions. If you want to decipher the runes, you must be able to avoid the priests of Loa.
Brainwashing is difficult to control the Holy Order powerhouse.
Under the eyes of the Loa gods, it is very dangerous to attack their important believers.
Unsurprisingly, those loa control the altar of the ancient saints, but I don’t know, can the loa know how to use the power of the altar like Elder Sorim did?
How strong is Loa?
Are they as powerful as the gods of Alanus?
Ren looked at Hazura and asked, “What is Loa?”
Hazura’s eyes were shocked, the impact of this question on him was too great, and it was not like a question that a normal troll could ask. His face struggled for a few seconds, and he whispered back: “Loa is Loa, the greatest beings in the world, they are gods, sheltering trolls and all creatures in the forest.”
This answer does not satisfy Ren, UU reading www.uukanshu. com said it was equal to not saying it.
Hazura’s level was not enough, and he couldn’t answer it if he continued to ask, so Ren changed the question: “How many Loa are there in the Gumanla Empire?”
The Gumanla Empire is the great empire that rules the Southern Continent in troll language, and it can also refer to the Southern Continent itself.
I just copied the books collected by Hazura, which contains a simple history book, which records that in the past 20,000 years, the Gumanla Empire has been divided and unified four times, and seven different troll dynasties have been born. A troll king!
However, the last time the Gumanla Empire was unified was very long ago. For more than 5,000 years, this continent has always been in a state of being torn apart.
The reason lies in those loa spirits.
“I don’t know how many loa there are.” Hazura shook his head, hesitated, and then replied: “There may be thirty loa, or even more, but the most powerful loa will always be only eighteen. They all have their own temples of loa!”
Ren immediately understood that there are eighteen ancient saint altars on the southern continent!
