Chapter 101 Troll/Relic/Land Bird
Before long, Bobo returned from scouting.
"How is it?" Kana asked.
"Judging by their appearance, they seem to be talking to each other, which means they should be the wild trolls, not the savage ones."
Trolls also have subdivisions, but generally speaking, they can't be distinguished by their appearance.
The difference between savage and wild is whether they have completely turned into "beasts" and if they can still communicate normally.
Trolls are creatures that worship the wild. There was once a group of Beastmen who wanted to integrate the trolls into their ranks, but the trolls refused.
They wanted to return to the wilderness, to live a wild life coexisting with nature.
The tribal system is the limit of civilization they can accept.
However, some of them completely unleashed their wildness, eventually turning into "beasts."
They formed nest-like families, just like beasts.
If you encounter trolls in the wilderness, in the wild, or even in some mountainous or desert areas that attack like beasts,
don't doubt, they are the ones who have completely unleashed their wild nature.
Another group still retains their wisdom and can communicate, belonging to intelligent races.
They gather together in the form of tribes.
"Really, as long as we can communicate."
Although Kana already knew, there was no need to act all-knowing on every little matter.
It suffices to show foresight on important matters.
Of course, if it's just answering queries, showing off now and then is fine.
"In that case, let's see if we can communicate with them. Using civilized methods."
Saying that, Kana stood up and walked towards the camp.
After only a few steps, the trolls noticed them and shouted loudly.
Soon, dozens of trolls surrounded them.
These trolls appeared to be warriors of the Giant Tribe, their bodies adorned with decorations made from beast teeth and bones.
"Don't be agitated, we mean no harm."
"Wait a moment." An old but strong voice rang out.
An old shaman from the Giant Tribe walked over, leaning on a scepter made of wood and bone.
He wore a feather crown made of beautiful feathers on his head, signifying his status.
He came to Kana's front: "Humans? Why have you come here?"
This place is the Eastern Wilderness, and even deeper into the wilderness.
The Giant Shaman hadn't seen humans for an unknown length of time.
"There is a relic beneath your camp, and we want to explore it to find some information."
Remember the principle when dealing with such underdeveloped races: straightforwardness is the best approach.
Otherwise, you'll only leave them with the impression of "cunning humans," equating to almost being a scammer.
"Relic?" the old shaman repeated, then nodded.
"There is indeed such a thing, with an unopenable door there."
"Yes, that's our target. May we enter, we promise not to do anything irrational."
Just then, a call came from the sky.
A creature resembling a Winged Dragon flew down, whipping up a gust of wind and sending dust and stones flying.
The Winged Dragon landed nearby, and a burly troll jumped down from it.
A pair of robust tusks rose from both sides, adorned with decorations, giving off an imposing look.
Interestingly, his tusks looked neither white nor yellow but had a faint gray hue.
Very distinctive, Kana recognized him at once.
This troll looked at Kana and their group with curiosity, as the composition of their team was indeed a bit odd.
Human, mouse, dwarf, and centaur.
A small team comprised of four races.
He stood behind the shaman, speaking in Beastman language to the shaman.
Kana understood it clearly.
After all, Beastmen are a major race, with a wide territory, and if you want to take on tasks there, you have to learn some simple Beastman words.
The simple Beastman language refers to words like "you, me, good, awesome."
And of course, the essential "Beastman curse words."
This troll tribe obviously had a deep connection with the Beastmen in the past.
After the exchange.
The old shaman suddenly said to them, "Letting you in is not impossible, but it requires a battle. Only in the wild battle can warriors become friends of trolls.
Only friends can enter the troll's home!"
Simple yet straightforward logic.
"Ha, then come on, watch me beat you to the ground."
Raelia said loudly, taking the Fire Eye Long Spear from her back.
Kana had already given it to her halfway, and with such a new weapon, she had long wanted to test it out.
Seeing Kana and their team seemingly ready to fight.
The burly troll walked over, also drawing a long spear from behind.
But this long spear, well, looked much more shabby.
"Hoo ha! Hoo ha!"
Cheers came from both sides, as many trolls emerged from the camp, forming a large circle outside.
They cheered with uniform strange calls.
Kana waved his hand and led everyone back to the rear.
Leaving space for Raelia and that troll.
These trolls, honestly, aren't they just a race differentiated by the Stone of Creation used by some Beastman tribe?
Just like the Beastmen, they enjoy fighting to make friends.
As soon as the area was cordoned off, Raelia eagerly charged forward with the long spear.
