Transcendent Noble

ogre are huge, ugly and greedy creatures. They prey on the weak and are accustomed to solving problems by violence. The average adult ogre is close to 3 meters tall and weighs about 200kg.

Baita scholar believes that ogre is a group of goblins, but unlike their weak cousins, these strong and powerful humanoid monsters are inherently evil and cruel. They will eat any creatures they catch, including their kind.

Ogres live mostly in groups. The smallest ethnic group is a family unit consisting of 1-2 males and 2-5 females and several cubs. The largest ethnic group exceeds hundreds. The way they solve the problem is to use wooden sticks, stones and lances to directly crush what is blocking them. If they can't do it, they will adopt an evasive attitude that ignores them.

ogre is strong and powerful, but the brains are relatively stupid. They will take the initiative to attack human villages without any hesitation. In fact, most of the villages that are breached are from the hands of ogre. Therefore, the human lord can ignore the goblins, kobolds and even the jackals of the small race, but will never allow ogre to wander in the territory.

Victor, Edwin and Bruce are around an oak table, they are all waiting for the latest information from the scouts.

A big black crow flew in from the window, flapped its wings and landed on the table, and yelled at Edwin. This is Victor's Golden Crow.

Edwin immediately put a handful of stones and a silver plate on the table, and saw Golden Crow pick up a stone and threw it in the silver plate, making a "ding", and then tilted it. The little head looked up and down at Edwin, seeming to see where the old scholar would get his reward from his body.

"This is Kuroba's third investigation. From the results, it really only found one ogre at the southwest corner of the territory." Edwin threw a dried fruit to the black crow waiting for the reward. , Said to everyone.

These days, Edwin has been training this clever Golden Crow crow and named it Kuroba, and he was surprised to find that Kuroba can express numbers within 20 after training. So he drew a portrait of ogre and tried to get Kuroba to detect the number of ogre.

"Master, I am not questioning your conclusion, but ogre is usually in groups...For the safety of the soldiers, let's wait for more detailed information from the scouts." Bruce didn't believe it. A crow can tell the difference between a crow and a flock. Perhaps this bird is a bit clever, but I am afraid it is used to cheat and drink.

Victor certainly knows that Kuroba's investigation results are credible, but he will never make any comments on this issue.

At this moment, Nelson hurried in with this letterhead.

"In the southwest corner, at the ogre side, the jackal is unknown. This is information from the scout." Nelson found that all three people were staring at him and directly spoke out the content of the information.

"An ogre? That's really good!" Victor sighed in relief. Although he believed in the reconnaissance ability of Golden Crow, but with the confirmation of the scout, this should be the most accurate result.

Edwin and Bruce looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes. Edwin hesitated and said to Victor: "It is good news to have only one ogre, but it may also be bad news."

"ogre are brutal and combative monsters. The most powerful male among them fights each other for the leadership of the group. This kind of battle is generally fatal. There will always be a loser who uses blood and Life is the authority of the victor. But there are always exceptions. Sometimes individual losers escape from the race and become wandering ogre. These wandering ogre alone are very powerful, and most of them have the ability to be rage.” Edwin said still. After a glance at Bruce, he knew Bruce must understand what he meant.

"The violent ogre has surpassed the ordinary Knight in strength. This Innate Ability allows them to ignore the pain. The heavier the injury, the greater the increase in strength and speed, which ordinary elite soldiers cannot resist. The attack of the violent ogre, even the bronze Knight may not last too long. However, I am confident that I can block it. During this period, all you have to do is to continue to kill it with heavy crossbows until it dies. So far!" Bruce said lightly, his fighting spirit was burning in his eyes,

Obviously, Bruce wanted this ogre as his breakthrough bronze step and an opportunity to step into the extraordinary realm.

"Nelson Captain, you need to choose some people who are good at crossbow and riding skills to start with my people, remember to wear leather armor only, because I was swept by the wolf fang club of Ogre. It doesn't matter whether you wear leather armor or armor. Only speed and dexterity can protect yourself." Bruce warned repeatedly to Nelson.

"Can we dig a trap or something for this ogre?" Victor suggested, he felt absolutely unnecessary to fight with the powerful and stupid ogre.

"Although ogre is stupid and reckless, they have a keen intuition, or a kind of innate talent. They can avoid most traps, otherwise they would have been extinct. So, every time with ogre Soldiers in combat have to bear the risk of death and injury." Edwin shook the head with a wry smile, explaining to Victor.

"We will set off on horseback in the afternoon. When we arrive at the destination, let the soldiers and horses rest fully and attack the monster at noon tomorrow. Let's start preparing now." Bruce rubbed. He stood up immediately, propped his hands on the table, and said with some excitement.

In the afternoon, a team of more than forty people set off on time. In addition to all the trainee Knights, Victor and Edwin were accompanied.

Victor joined the team at the request of Bruce, because once he picked up a military heavy crossbow, his lethality was not inferior to that of ordinary Knight, and Victor really wanted to see this legendary monster.

As for Edwin, he strongly urged to participate in this operation, and said that he would stay in a safe place and never cause trouble for everyone.

In the evening, they joined the scouts who were in charge of monitoring ogre and reconfirmed the intelligence: an ogre built a nest by a stream, and observed no traces of injuries from a distance, and in the vicinity In a wood, traces of jackals were found, but the number is unknown.

Before the sun sets, a temporary camp has been set up. After dinner, Knight Bruce greeted everyone and went back to his tent to rest.

"Bruce's condition is a bit wrong, will it really be okay tomorrow?" Victor has never seen Bruce who has always maintained aristocratic style so solemn, and he can't help but feel a little worried.

"Bruce is preparing for the battle tomorrow. He will face ogre alone in a violent state. This is a dangerous challenge for him." Edwin said softly.

"I don't understand? Since the violent ogre is so powerful, why don't we shoot it far away with a military heavy crossbow?" Victor asked Edwin puzzled.

"There are two problems in this. The first problem is that ogre will not be disturbed by injuries at all in a violent state. Instead, its speed and strength will be greatly increased. If Knight does not withstand its attacks, those Before the shooter can shoot it, he will be killed by this monster. The final result is that our shooter has suffered a heavy loss, and ogre may not die with his powerful physique. The second problem is that it is very difficult for Knight to advance. Bronze In addition to the bloodline innate talent, Knight wants to enter the extraordinary realm. In addition to the bloodline innate talent, there is another way to go through the test of life and death to stimulate the potential of the body. It is possible that all 24 element positions will be echoed and promoted to the silver Knight. Bruce is to use this time The opportunity to try to break through the Silver Tier, so he will never give up this opportunity."

When Edwin explained to Victor, they didn't notice Nicole's eyes brightening aside.

In the morning of the second day, Bruce, Nelson walked in front of the team holding a heavy shield, Nicole and four trainee Knights protected Victor and Master Edwin in the middle, while the other soldiers fanned their crossbows Go behind and head towards the ogre lair.

At noon, Victor saw the lonely ogre by the creek. This monster is only 2.5 meters tall and is covered with a thick black fur, a bit like bear skin, with its limbs. Exposed, the joints are thick, but the muscles are obviously atrophy, the skin is dark brown, there is crusty, and there are raised tumor nodes. It has a rickety figure, but its belly is very bulging, just like the belly of a pregnant woman. The thick ash-gray hair covers the facial features, making it difficult to see its appearance.

This is indeed an ogre, but it is different from the strong and tall ogre leader that people think of. It is like a seriously ill ogre. When everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, they listened An old voice came.

"Humans, what are you doing in Golash's house? I am too old to bite into the muscles of Clefthoof Ox. I am not threatening you, nor have any treasures. Please leave."

This is a standard human lingua franca. There is no problem with grammar or tone, but everyone is dumbfounded because the voice came from that ogre.

ogre is stupid and primordial. Although he also has his own language and even speaks some simple wolves, I have never heard of ogre who can speak a complete human language, and now this weird ogre How can this not shock everyone?

"Heavens!? The legend is true! This is an old ogre!!!" Edwin was the first to react and shouted.

The lifespan of ogre is 90 years old, but few ogre can live beyond 50 years old, because the weak ogre will die of hunger and cannibalism, but it is said that once ogre is over 60 years old, they Wisdom will be turned on, able to communicate with most wise races, and they will leave the race and live alone, just like the one in front of them.

"Yes, Golash is old and will have a good life in a few days. I live here, eating bark and grass roots, occasionally hunting, and there is no threat to you. Please let me go Poor old Gorash. By the way, the one who just spoke must be an erudite old man. Gorash admires the wise scholar the most. Maybe we can be good friends." The old ogre said while trying to Approach Edwin.

"Stop it!! It wants to eat my brain!" Master Edwin suddenly yelled flustered and exasperated: "This old ogre can speak human words, which means it has eaten human brains! Don't Being fooled by its language, this is a cunning and cruel monster!"

Bruce complexion greatly changed, and immediately took a step forward and pointed the long halberd in his hand to the old ogre, shouted: "Back, you This ugly monster!"

"Don't be nervous, powerful Knight, those are rumors, Golash never eats human brains." Old Ogre said as he stepped back.

"Don’t believe every word of old ogre. They are very cunning and good at deceiving. According to the literature of Baita, old ogre cannot get food from the group because of aging. They will leave the group quietly and be alone. In order to fill their stomachs, they will use traps and deceptions to kill intelligent races. They especially like to eat humans, elves and halflings. There are rumors that the old ogre will eat the brains of prey to obtain the memory and wisdom of the victims, so The brains of old people and scholars are extremely attractive to them.” Edwin said with fear and excitement: “There is a view that old ogre and ogre are no longer the same race, because the structure of their brains has changed a lot. I really want to open it by myself!"

Old ogre wants to eat old scholar's brain, and old scholar also wants to open old ogre's brain! Victor was very speechless.

"No, no, no, you have misunderstood the old ogre. Golash’s knowledge comes from the ancient bloodline. My memory tells me that ogre and human beings share a common ancestor, but our ancestor Only by being cursed will it become what it is now."

Old ogre saw the spreading crossbowmen and the approaching Knight and quickly explained, calmly facing away a lot of bones, wood and The nest built by the turf slowly receded.

"Ancient memory in bloodline?" Edwin eyes shined, he knows that some powerful racial inheritance knowledge is bloodline inheritance, as long as he reaches a certain age, he can automatically acquire the wisdom and abilities in bloodline.

"Of course, I know a lot of ancient secrets, maybe we can sit down and discuss together." Seeing scholar's curiosity about ancient knowledge, Gorash began to seduce him again.

"I can consider cutting off your limbs and bringing them back to the White Tower before discussing with you slowly." Edwin said with a sneer.

Seeing that Edwin was not tempted by it, it turned to Victor and said: "You must be the fief lord of this land, can you please calm down first, we can make a deal."

"Oh? What deal are you going to make?" Victor was surprised that the talking monster could recognize him.

"Honorable fief lord, a terrifying disaster is about to happen in your territory, and you will suffer heavy casualties, and I can tell you this information, in return you will provide me with food, of course I can Help you destroy other monsters in your territory, such as jackals..." Golash frightened Victor, like a sacred stick.

"Golash, I won't believe the words of a cannibal monster. Don't quibble, the bones scattered in your lair have already explained the problem. Today is your end, monster!" Victor His eyes flashed with cold rays of light, and the human bones mixed in the cluttered skeleton made it clear to Baron, who possessed an X-3 and had a perception of up to 20 points.

"Hehe, Golash is an ogre, cannibalism is nature, just like you humans eat cattle and sheep, there is no sin at all."

Perceive Victor's coldness. The killing intent, the old Ogre no longer pretends, but with a weird smile, he pulled out a leg bone that he didn’t know what giant beast was, and pointed to Bruce. Kill a few of your companions. If successful, I will hide in the dark and continue to retaliate against you. Now give you a chance to compete with me one-on-one. If I win, let me go. I will be ogre. Mother Amberli swears that she will never return to this territory again, but you also swear as Knight that you will not let your subordinates besiege me until we decide the victory or defeat. Do you dare? Human Knight! "

Bruce eyes shrank, with a cruel arc drawn from the corner of his mouth, he said word by word: "I swear by the reputation of Knight that no one will besiege you until I and you decide the outcome. "

Bruce originally wanted to be promoted to Silver Knight by accepting the life and death test of violent ogre, so how could he be afraid of an old ogre who is old and frail?

"This monster is really cunning! It only said that if it wins, it will leave here and never come back, but it didn't say what to do if it loses? Should we remind Master Bruce?" A rough-looking trainee Knight mumbled to his companion in a low voice, but he didn't notice, his companion looked at him like an idiot.
