The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 32 Touring the Town
  "Ah! Ah!"

At this time, Allen, who was two thousand miles away, felt a chill in his heart, but he had no idea where the chill came from. He touched his itchy nose, then muttered and continued walking in the narrow alleyways full of putrid odor in the Thunder Tribe.

The Thunder Tribe has its own rules and regulations, but the kobolds don't like to take care of their hygiene, so the tribe is perennially filled with the stench caused by the fermentation and decay of various wastes and feces. For the tribesmen in the wilderness, this is no problem at all. For example, Allen's own tribe is actually not much different from here. Except for Allen's many ideas about hygiene, other tribesmen have never cared about this. Talking loudly, the strong bad breath smell is enough to drive away many people who pay attention to hygiene.

Of course, businessmen like Fili and mercenaries like Regis are extremely adaptable to this harsh environment, but it does not mean that they like to breathe such stinky air, so when Unless there are necessary activities after the Thunder Tribe, most people would rather stay in the relatively good environment of the inn than hang out in the Thunder Tribe. The various things of the Thunder Tribe are full of surprises in the eyes of the bumpkin-like greenskins like Allen, but to more civilized humans, they are not attractive at all.

They all have beast heads on their heads, like kobolds and jackals whose evolution has not yet been completed, as well as goblins, ogres, trolls and other races that are crooked, ferocious, and completely inconsistent with human aesthetics. Arouse the slightest interest in human beings. On the other hand, the human female mercenaries, prostitutes, or female mercenaries from the Elf Kingdom who occasionally mix in among them can make the human guys shine, but when they think about the other party's strength or the price they need to spend, everyone feels like they are overwhelmed. I had a basin of ice water, and I didn’t even want to go out for a walk.

Only Regis, invited by Allen for a gold coin, was dragged out of the tavern and inn after a night's rest. He walked through the kobold town and explained to him all the puzzling things he saw along the way. Things.

"This is the temple of Kurtumak, the kobold god. The statue of the kobold holding a spear in the temple is Kurtumak, the kobold god's protector."

The most conspicuous building of the Thunder Tribe is naturally the all-stone building in the center of the town that is much higher than the other buildings. There are kobolds coming in and out of the temple all the time, making the temple look very lively. The tall door, the brilliant murals inside, and the shining golden halo on the sculptures allow Allen and the others to get a glimpse of the kobold god Zhuan without entering the temple. Compared with the stone sculptures enshrined on the altar built by the jackals before, Allen's sensitive sixth sense sensed the boundless divine power contained inside the statue from this shining golden statue, even when he looked directly at the statue, With his eyes, there is a feeling of being pulled into a sacred place shrouded in clouds and mist, and being looked at from the inside out by something unpredictable and mysterious.

Allen quickly retracted his gaze from observing the statue and continued to listen to Regis describing the kobold god Zhuan to him.

"He is a lawful evil god, so his followers can build such a town with rules here so that we can complete the transaction again. But don't have too high expectations for these kobolds, The reason why they can maintain certain rules is because they are driven by profit. A caravan like ours is not enough to make the kobolds fall out, but it is said that several large caravans have disappeared around the Thunder tribe recently, and they were killed by these kobolds. Dropped."

"The kobolds who just came out, pay attention to their left chests. The ones with a dwarf skull badge tattooed on their chests are the priests of Kurtumac. You'd better be more alert when you meet them. The priests' power comes from them. Compared to the pseudo-priests who were worshiped by the wolf man lords we met last time, these real priests are likely to get responses from the gods every time they pray. If they are allowed to use the art of trance, they can exert more power. will be stronger."

"Of course, generally speaking, the priests of the gods will not stay away from the temple. There are not many opportunities for us to encounter priests in the wild. But if we really encounter such an enemy in the wild, believe me, we must attack him as soon as possible. Get rid of them."

"Oh." - Allen regained his previous memories and felt a chill in his heart when he thought of the strange transformation of the Gnoll Priest. He quickly imprinted what Regis told him into the deepest part of his mind and did not dare to forget it.

"There are also these kobolds. If I read it correctly, they are all advanced professionals. Their strength is not much weaker than you and me. But in terms of numbers, if you and I hit them in the wild, The only result for your opponent is defeat."

Regis then stared at a group of four kobolds wearing neat leather armor, holding round shields, spears, steel axes, chain hammers and other weapons, walking out of the temple shoulder to shoulder, and made a firm conclusion. .

"No, they are all advanced professionals?"

Allen was a little unbelievable. He thought that advanced professionals would be very rare. After all, most of the people around Green Lake who could become advanced professionals were the strongest members of the tribe. And like the former leader of the Green Field Tribe, Split Claw, as they became more popular After understanding the general concept of professional strength, Allen believed that he was just a top level 8 warrior and was about to cross the threshold of level 9. However, he still did not have the unique skills of advanced professions such as Awakening Rage. The gap was clear at a glance.

"Why do you think the evil kobold tribe can gain a foothold on the border of the Elf Kingdom? It is said that there are more than 100 advanced professionals in the Thunder Tribe, and together with the two strong men who guard the tribe, this makes the Elf Kingdom unstoppable. It is easy to send troops to attack the Thunder Tribe. The strength of the wilderness tribe with its inheritance and the temple of God is far beyond what you small tribes in the wilderness can hope to achieve."

Regis glared at Allen with contempt, and felt a little relieved when he saw the other person's shocked expression.

I have already passed the 40-year-old threshold, but I have not been able to pass the barrier of level 10. It is already a bit difficult to improve in the future. After all, human physical fitness is not high, and after the age of 40, the physical fitness is not high. It's also starting to go downhill. So now he feels more at ease working as a mercenary, earning enough money for retirement, and returning to his hometown to buy a small farm and become a farmer.

Even so, he never expected that one day he would be hired by a green-skinned person to be their guide, and the price he received was only a mere gold coin. If his colleagues in the Principality of Rose knew about this, what would happen? They laughed to death. But Regis was very reluctant to give up this gold coin. After all, he didn't pay much, it was just a waste of words. Moreover, Allen, a green-skinned man, was also very angry with him along the way, and he took out all the delicious food to share with him. , the two of them relied on each other during the battle. Sometimes Regis even thinks about pulling Allen into his mercenary team to enrich his team so that he can receive more lucrative missions.

In a conflicting mood, Regis always wanted to see Allen being embarrassed and make some jokes without causing any harm.
