Chapter 270 Questions And Doubts

The rumor that a squad of soldiers on the fortress wall had obtained gold coins quickly spread among the other squads, making many people envious.

This was the so-called windfall.

The amusing story of "goblins delivering gold" added a rare touch of fun to the otherwise monotonous fortress wall.

Meanwhile.

Minori and the Lizardman Crusch Lulu returned to the Abelion Hills.

The castle's construction was not fast, but with the ample labor of the demi-humans, the general outline and foundation had already been built.

However, the aesthetics of the Zern, Pandesx, and Trolls were truly different from normal human aesthetics, causing the castle's construction to lean towards an unconventional and chaotic style.

In response to this.

Minori could only establish a general architectural style and then let these demi-humans freely develop it. Building the castle was not really for enjoyment, but to convey the message that he would be staying here for a long time.

Lizardman Crusch Lulu was arranged to conduct magical research in the Zern tribe's cave.

A clearing on the hill.

Minori, wrapped in a red robe, quietly gazed at the beautiful environment below the hill, with the distant jungle, river, and weedy wasteland coming into view.

The air was slightly cool.

The winter's cold had not completely receded, and the wind blowing from the depths of the Abelion Hills seemed to contain a hint of chaos and bloodiness.

"I want to know what you plan to do next."

A large, light green figure walked over from behind. The troll Go Gin's white pupils stared at Minori, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, and he said in a muffled voice, "Otherwise, those guys might misunderstand your intentions."

Minori withdrew his gaze from the distance and said faintly without turning his head, "Oh, Go Gin, what do you want to ask?"

The white fangs on either side of Go Gin's upper lip curled upwards, and he sneered, "For example, what are you planning to do by sending goblins and trolls to the Holy Kingdom of mankind with gold?"

"They are already dead, and besides, that guy Taki told me that you are still planning to send people over with gold!"

Taki was the name of the Troll Water Elemental Mage.

Although Go Gin never regarded goblins and ordinary trolls, who had little intelligence and were similar to magical beasts, as his own kind, he also hated this kind of behavior of sending them to their deaths arbitrarily.

Go Gin was very clear about how bad the grudges between the Holy Kingdom and the demi-humans in the hills were.

"Are you feeling sorry for the gold coins?" Minori turned around.

The gold carried by the troll and several goblins who went to the Holy Kingdom was not actually real gold, but gold ore.

That's right.

Gold mines exist in the Abelion Hills, and not just gold mines, but various types of mineral resources are also very abundant.

This place used to be the capital of the Hill Dwarves, so naturally there would be no shortage of various mineral veins. Unfortunately, very few of the various races in the hills today have the ability to utilize these mineral veins.

Not to mention various precious ores in human society, even gold, silver, and copper ore veins are not very meaningful to the major demi-human races.

"I don't mean that, Lord."

Go Gin looked at the man who was clearly small and weak, as if he could be slapped to death with one palm, but instead felt a sense of fear in his heart, "I do have some doubts."

"Considering that you are of great use to me, I can answer your doubts, but before that."

Minori chuckled hoarsely and stepped past Go Gin's huge figure, "You need to figure out what is most valuable to the various races in the Abelion Hills."

"Let's go, it's time to set off."

"This mysterious guy!" Go Gin said with a sullen face, watching Minori's disappearing back.

The area where the Zern and Pandex tribes are located.

Located in the southern part of the hills, near the mountains, this mountain range is one of the two major mountain ranges in the hills.

It is also an important mountain range that separates the hills from the border of the Slane Theocracy. It is said that on the other side of the mountain range is the border city of the Slane Theocracy.

To the west of this area is the territory of a powerful demi-human group, whose strength far exceeds that of the Zern and Pandex tribes.

This demi-human group is the Magelos!

A special demi-human race with a thin physique, a slightly similar appearance to humans, and four arms.

The greatest strength of this race lies in its innate magical ability, with the highest level being the power to use fourth-tier magic.

Among them, the royal family or those with extraordinary talents will awaken the ability of magic caster, reaching the level of being able to use fifth-tier magic.

Such a powerful race is only considered one of the top races among the demi-human groups in the entire Abelion Hills, which shows how many terrifying and powerful races exist in the Abelion Hills.

It's no wonder that the Holy Kingdom, whose overall national strength is even stronger than the Re-Estize Kingdom, can only build walls and fortresses on the border to resist the demi-humans in the hills.

Even the Slane Theocracy next door, which hates demi-humans with "human supremacy," can only reduce their numbers.

Of course.

With the Slane Theocracy's foundation, if they want to completely solve the problem of the hills, it's not impossible. There is no need to dispatch the Black Scripture, just sending the Captain of the Divine Scripture can solve it.

If not, using a few seventh-tier "Angel Summoning" enchanted crystals can completely crush them.

Minori recalled the information about the Magelos while waving his arm, "Flight!"

Whoosh!

A blue light flashed from his body.

Minori's figure rose into the air, quickly disappearing into the sky.

This time, Minori did not bring anyone with him to the Magelos's territory, but went alone. Go Gin and the Troll Water Elemental Mage needed to stay behind to guard the base.

Although the strength of the two was not weak, they did not have any advantage against the Magelos who were born with the ability to use magic.

The Magelos's territory was near the forest and water source.

This was a place with a beautiful environment and abundant resources. Perhaps because of their relatively strong individual strength, the Magelos race did not have a large population.

Simple houses built mainly of wood and animal skins were distributed on both sides of the riverbank, with roofs covered with dry grass and leaves.

Located in the center of the tribe.

On a peculiar altar built of neat wooden planks hung various demon beast skins. Upon closer inspection, one could see various magical rune-like tattoos engraved on these skins.

A Magelos exuding a noble aura stood quietly among these beast skins, with eyes closed and four arms outstretched, posing in a unique and mysterious stance.

Faint magical power flowed from this Magelos's body.

This Magelos was the queen of the tribe, Nasrene Belt Cure, also one of the "Ten Great Demi-Humans," known as "Iceflame Lightning."

The lifespan of the Magelos far exceeded that of ordinary humans and most demi-human races. Moreover, she was a long-established figure in the hilly area.

Among the "Ten Great Demi-Humans," she could rank among the top five most powerful beings.

The magical power fluctuations around Nasrene were looming, and also drove the surrounding air to change, sometimes becoming cold, and sometimes becoming somewhat hot.

Even if observed carefully, faint electric sparks could be seen flashing in the air.

"Hmm!"

Suddenly, Nasrene's closed eyes suddenly opened, and the temperature of the air suddenly dropped and became cold. She sensed a powerful magical fluctuation.

Before she could completely react.

Rumble!

A huge roar came from the periphery of the tribe, making a loud noise, followed by a sharp and rapid horn sound.

That was the emergency horn sounded when the tribe was attacked.

"The enemy is coming!"

"Protect the Queen!"

"Counterattack, how dare they invade us!"

Angry and chaotic roars rang out from all directions. Although they were suddenly attacked, the situation seemed to quickly stabilize.

This was also one of the advantages of having a small population, which allowed them to quickly gather their companions and avoid greater chaos.

"Attack?"

A cold expression appeared on Nasrene's face. How long had it been since an attack had occurred since she became queen?

She quickly went through the other demi-human races that might attack the tribe in her mind, and found that they were unlikely.

"The magical fluctuation just now is at least at the third tier level, this is not a small character."

"This is really a headache."

Nasrene put down her four arms, which were in a unique gesture, and grabbed towards a corner with one of her arms.

A staff about the height of a person, with three sharp blades on each side, two notched rings on the top, and a blue magic gem inlaid in the center, flew into her hand.

"I don't know where this reckless guy came from."

Nasrene held the magic staff, turned around and walked out of the altar, her narrowed eyes flashing with a cold light.

Whirr—Whirr—

The tattooed beast skins hanging around also automatically dispersed.

Nasrene walked out of the altar, and several Magelos were already waiting respectfully outside.

"Queen!"

"Queen!"

"Queen!" These Magelos immediately bowed respectfully.

"What's the situation now?" Nasrene was too lazy to talk nonsense, her voice indifferent and without any emotional fluctuations.

At this moment.

At the outermost edge of the tribe's territory, the barrier formed by the fence was destroyed, and a straight scorched mark appeared on the ground.

Wherever it passed, the rocks, houses, and buildings in front were destroyed in one breath and turned into ashes.

A faint burnt smell permeated the air!

Minori stood quietly at the destroyed fence, looking at the dozen or so Magelos who had rushed over at the first moment, and waves of magical power emanated from these Magelos.

"What, the enemy is only one person!"

"This attire, human?"

"Who are you!"

"… … … …"

As soon as these Magelos appeared, they immediately looked at Minori, while observing the surroundings to see if there were any other enemies.

"Is your queen Nasrene in the tribe?" Minori ignored the inquiries of these Magelos, and a hoarse voice sounded.

"Intruder, you're courting death!!"

[TL: Put your favourite courting death meme here]

"How can you call our Queen's name with such disrespect."

Hearing Minori say the four words "Nasrene" without any respect, all the Magelos were enraged.

"So it seems, she should be in the tribe."

Seeing the reaction of this group of people, Minori nodded lightly: "That's good."

"Sand Domain · All!"

Rumble—

A huge magic array instantly appeared under the feet of these ten or so Magelos, and a large amount of quicksand gushed out, sweeping like a wave.

The Magelos roared one by one, releasing magic to fight back, but at the moment when these sands touched these people, the magic power seemed to be forbidden, and they could not use it at all.

"What's going on!"

"Magic can't be released!"

Emotions of astonishment, incomprehension, and doubt appeared on the faces of all the Magelos, and then they were replaced by fear.

In the blink of an eye, these people were all locked in place by the quicksand, unable to move.

"Magic Arrow!" Minori waved his finger again.

Swish! Swish!

Ten arrows condensed out of thin air and shot out, easily piercing the heads of these Magelos who were silenced and unable to move.

Blood splattered with white brain matter!

More than a dozen Magelos powerhouses who rushed over at the first moment all died in this one breath.

'Gained experience: 4907'

'… … … …'

A series of experience information flashed on the panel.
