Chapter 426 Exchange of Information
When the other party saluted, Gavin had already turned over and jumped off the half-moon horse. He smiled and said in return: "This is my honor, Chief Fearless Stone."
In the previous life, there was a Goliath barbarian among the Zhentarim slave warriors. Although the two only worked together for a few months, the Goliath barbarian died in battle.
But it was enough for him to understand the Goliath barbarian, and incidentally to understand this big race and some of their unique customs. For example, they have three names, one is the nickname given by their parents, and the other is It was a nickname given to him by the tribe members, and the last one was the name of their tribe.
The full name of this Goliath chief is Eglath *Fearless Stone* Mountains.
Goliaths prefer other people to call themselves nicknames rather than nicknames, because this is the name that is closest to their temperament.
Those Goliath tribes are obviously distributed in large mountains far apart, but their appearance, lifestyle and customs are surprisingly similar. Obviously, it is not due to simple communication, but like many unique races. , something is engraved in their souls and is hereditary.
As expected.
After hearing Gavin's name, the smile on Chief Goliath's face became even stronger. He couldn't help but step forward and give Gavin a thick hug. This is the real way Goliath greets him.
It’s just that this Goliath chief acted lightly, as if he were dealing with precious, easily broken porcelain, fearing that he would crush this small race with force.
On the contrary, Gavin let go of his hands and feet, hugged the other party forcefully, patted the other party's thick back heavily, and introduced himself: "I am Gavin Nott, from the outside Kingdom of Tethyr, Darauma. Messenger of the city, we have just eliminated Moando’s evil servants under the city, as well as their exorcisms. I came to check the situation first.”
The other party’s thickness was even more exaggerated than it looked. He spread his arms, that is, he hugged him half way, instead of taking pictures of the other party. The back, rather the back ribs, even here, is full of the thickest muscles.
The smell on the opponent's body is not unpleasant, it smells like the bluestone that has just been pulled out of the soil, even though the opponent has several festering wounds on his body.
"What? The evil god's pet servant has been eliminated by you? That horrible tree root turned into an evil reptile? How did you do it?"
"Haha... great , It’s so good, those evil gods’ servants have finally been killed, and our homeland is finally saved.”
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Even if you can kill a flying winged night shadow easily, you are still far away from killing that giant root of corruption. It is simply not something human beings can do."
"We must race against time to find a way to purify the mountains and purify our bodies. We can't waste too much time here."
Hearing Gavin's words, the Goliaths were shocked. All of them His face couldn't help but come closer.
There are some who are ecstatic, some who are disbelieving, and some who are questioning, especially the latter who are the most numerous.
Because many of them have seen with their own eyes the terrifying size of the giant root of corruption, and many of them have witnessed with their own eyes the horror of the root of the gods entering an aggressive state, and the torn remains it left behind. The pressure marks are the best proof.
How long has it been since the Root of God left Mir Forest?
Now someone suddenly came to tell them that the terrifying and evil existence as huge as a hill had been eliminated, which was really hard to believe.
"I remembered, I have seen you guys, it was you who attracted the evil god's corrupt root away." Another Goliath suddenly said.
This is a female Goliath, her appearance is a little different from other Goliaths.
The skin of other Goliaths has a blue-gray color of bluestone, and has copper-green markings.
Her basic skin color is also blue-gray, but the markings have turned into khaki. They are not randomly distributed, but have a mysterious and mysterious feel, resembling some kind of rune. Her height is about the same as the Fearless Stone Chief, but she is thicker. There is a huge difference in size. She is probably not half as thick as the latter. Her legs are straight and slender, full of stylish but not exaggerated muscles. When she stood in front of Gai Wen's body, she felt that her thighs were almost reaching his chest. , fully explains what it means to have legs everywhere.
Another difference is that she has long silver hair, braided into a thick long ponytail.
As for other Goliaths, most of them are hairless, especially the males, both on the top of their heads and on their chins.
She is not a pure Goliath in appearance. She has the sharp edges and corners of Goliath, but also has the slim melon-seed appearance of an elf. She also seriously lacks the unique characteristics of Goliath. With her bony protrusions, in terms of aesthetics, she conforms to both human and Goliath races.
Needless to say, the focus of human attention is her appearance, figure, and fullness. She has it all. Those special markings are much more beautiful than tattoos and the like, and are full of alien style.
What Goliaths pay most attention to is their markings. For them, these markings foretell their future destiny, are their source of strength, entrust their souls, and are what distinguishes them from other Goliaths. Everyone The markings are all unique.
They never make any tattoos on their bodies, and even try to cover these markings as little as possible.
This Goliath integrates his professional abilities with the markings on his body. He is naturally unique to other Goliaths.
The other Goliaths respect her slightly more than the chief.
Gavin was also very impressed by this Goliath, not because of her unique appearance, but because of her unique ability. She is the special caster, the one who was suspected of being a group stone skin before. The magic spell was cast by her.
Seeing Gavin's eyes fall on her, this Goliath, who didn't look particularly old, introduced himself gracefully: "Kellysha, a shaman from the mountain tribe, a warden of the earth, They like to call me Camellia.”
“Camellia.” Gavin couldn’t help but repeat her nickname. Goliath's nickname is not given randomly and usually has a special meaning.
The chief’s nickname is Fearless and Stubborn, which is easy to understand, fearless and as stubborn as a rock.
As for the connotation of camellia, it is more profound. In the high mountain environment where many plants are difficult to grow, you can often see this pure and beautiful flower blooming proudly, neither arrogant nor impetuous, showing its unique charm. Many times It is regarded as a symbol of humility and also has the connotation of ideal love.
The Goliath people have the habit of planting, picking and drinking tea. The camellia tree has special meaning to them. Being named after the camellia also means that it is the treasure of the tribe.
Camellia asked respectfully: "Mr. Gavin, can I take the liberty to ask how you killed that monster?"
"When the monster chooses to move towards a large population, When the city advances, it must bear the wrath of the gods. It is the Goddess of Strategy who sent down her incarnation." Gavin directly attributed most of the credit to Ms. Strategy, which made it easier to gain their trust.
At the mention of the true God, most of the doubts on the faces of Goliaths disappeared immediately.
Although the root of the gods is powerful, for ordinary people, if it is not something that can be captured by the gods, it depends on whether they can take action.
As for whether gods will interfere in worldly affairs.
When will it intervene? In what way?
This is not something ordinary people can figure out.
If they can be figured out, they are not gods.
“Are you here to find a cure for the festering disease?” Although Gavin used a question, it contained more affirmations.
To most other races, Mysnoel is a beautiful city worth claiming as their own.
But for Goliaths who like challenges and climb mountains, it is too short and too comfortable, and is not their favorite type.
Especially when they still don’t know that the Root of God has been destroyed by Gavin and the others, and they can’t be sure whether the terrifying monster will come back, it is definitely not a wise choice to rashly occupy Myth Noel. .
If they had the purpose of finding a solution to the festering disease or seizing the treasure of Myth Noel, that would make sense.
Camellia Carissa from the mountains admitted generously: "Yes, in the past year, our tribe has been suffering from the pain caused by the canker disease. Those cultists have been using this Methods, eroding our homes, eroding our souls, trying to make us succumb to their lust and make us serve their evil gods
But this is delusion, we are Goliath, we are the mountains, and we will never give in to evil. "
"Yes, we are Goliath, we are the mountains, and we will never surrender. "
"We would rather die than associate with the cultists. "
The surrounding Goliaths responded in agreement, with indescribable pride in their expressions.
"I see that your symptoms are far less serious than those of ordinary creatures. This is special to you. Is it related to physical fitness? Gavin asked curiously.
There are more or less traces of ulcers on these Goliaths.
It’s just that the ulcerated wounds are usually not large, and many of them are semi-scabbed.
Eglas, the chief of the mountain tribe, replied: "Our Goliath's special physical fitness is only one aspect. This matter is mainly thanks to our Camellia. She found a special method to transfer She has eliminated most of the evil forces and effectively alleviated our pain. If it weren’t for her, we might not have been able to persist until now.”
Kelly Gai. On the face like a knife, there was a sadness that could not be concealed: "This matter has a price. Those evil forces were not eliminated, but were transferred to our holy mountain by me and temporarily sealed. We are here to find A complete solution."
"Oh? Does Myth Noel have a way to cure the festering disease? A way to purify the power of corruption?" Gavin continued.
The two Goliath leaders looked at each other and seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding. Finally, it was Kelly Gai who said: "We are also trying our luck. After all, those elves dare to use the Festering Mystery Lock as a guard barrier. There must be a way to overcome the festering disease.”
Gavin was slightly disappointed, “You mean, you don’t fully understand Myss Noel?”
He thought he could do it. These Goliaths have obtained more information about Myss Noel.
Although the biggest barrier of Misnoel, the Festering Mystery Lock, has been opened, it does not mean that the place is completely undefended.
Who knows what magic traps those elves set when they left.
No matter how fierce the previous battles between the drow and Goliath were, they were fought along wide mountain roads, and few dared to rush into the surrounding elven buildings.
