Gron, shrouded in the shining aura of his younger brother and sister, his life is not too sad. After all, ogres with simple minds and simple personalities do not like to exclude and bully the weak like humans. After identifying Gron as one of their own tribe, the ogres in the tribe will not treat him with any special eyes or attitude. In fact, Goron doesn't feel any pressure at all. The attitude of each tribe towards him is no different from that towards Hakulili, and no one will compare them boringly. From this point of view, Goron Being an ogre is very lucky.
The tribal system of the ogres seems crude and crude compared to the social systems of other intelligent races, especially humans, and is simply not worth mentioning. However, it still has a relatively complete division of labor system. The powerful ogres serve as warriors, hunting and raiding in search of food, and protecting the tribe from other humanoid races, especially their old enemies, the Amazon centaurs. Hakulili has been joining the ogre marauders since she was eight years old. Of course, she always gets the most loot.
The wisdom of the prophet Lalababu guides the entire tribe, and he himself is the only historical recorder and inheritor of the Black Hand tribe. Of course, when attacked, his shamanic magic will also use thunder and lightning to severely teach every idiot who dares to challenge the ogre. Although his level of shamanic magic is not very high, his unparalleled abundance of magic power and the double casting of two heads are enough to make any enemy annihilate in front of the original divine power.
As for the troll witch doctor Old Haman... Although he is not an ogre, every ogre warrior injured in plunder and battle needs his smelly witch ointment to numb the injury. It hurts and speeds up recovery, especially when faced with the poisonous darts and arrows of the old enemy Amazon Centaur. The old troll's ointment is also the only weapon that can fight it. Ogres have never been a xenophobic race. They can live in peace with any intelligent creature on the continent, except of course when they are hungry...
As for little Goron... This "little waste" who can't even lift a thorn stick weighing less than a hundred pounds, and has two eyes and only one head cannot become a warrior or a mage. However, he also has his own tasks and responsibilities, that is... "Chef".
Speaking of "chef", we have to mention the issue of "ingredients". This question... In fact, even the children on Dota Continent know about it. Any creature that has something to do with "people" is the ogre's favorite food. This is how the name "ogre" comes. However, although ogres like to eat advanced intelligent creatures (I don't know if it is because they are very stupid), in fact, ogres are basically "Omnivores" include any living creature that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, or swims in the water, as well as fruits and grains. When hungry to the extreme, they can even feed on grass, trees, and even soil. Ogres can be said to be the most omnivorous creatures on the Dota Continent besides the ooze monsters.
But the Black Hand tribe does not have to live such a miserable life, because their food sources are very abundant.
The village of the Black Hand Tribe is built on the endlessly fertile coast of the Haishiwan Peninsula. There is a lush tropical rainforest here. It is not only rich in species resources, but also has endless beasts to hunt and fish to catch. It is also close to the prosperous commerce and trade. The open trade seaport "Haishiwan Low Tide Port" is only a few hundred kilometers away. Whether it is land, sea, or large cargo-carrying airships, they often pass here. Those traveling merchants will give money to the Black Hand tribe and even the ogres of the entire Haishiwan Peninsula. Trolls, centaurs, sirens, orcs, these traditional demihumans and humanoids who live by plundering, provide ample food and living supplies, as well as some shiny golden things and other things that I don’t know what they are used for. .
Except for food, the goods carried by the merchants are not interesting to the ogres at all, but often goblin merchants come to the Black Hand tribe at the risk of being eaten, and exchange cheap cloth and crudely made weapons for the food. The "junk stuff" that humans and demons don't need can be considered as everyone getting what they need.
But since Gron began to serve as the chef of the Black Hand tribe and be responsible for transactions, such transactions began to change. The ogres used the looted goods to exchange for materials that had been upgraded several times in terms of quantity and quality. Ten to a hundred times, the types of traded items are also more abundant, for example... all kinds of spices that the ogre didn't need at all, and even beauty cosmetics. But even if the ogres are so "lion-like", those goblin merchants who want money but not their lives are still flocking to them, especially after Gronn guaranteed that they will not be eaten by those hungry ogre compatriots, goblin merchants almost every now and then. Will visit the Black Hand tribe.
It's a bit far. All in all, the Black Hand tribe's food resources are still very rich, and they can even be luxurious to the point of "storage". And Goron, even before he started working as a chef, was already the owner of this food storage. Manager of people... Well, in the eyes of other races, this position should probably be called... "prison guard", "breeder", or... "butcher". right. Because what Gron needs to manage is not only traditional foods such as honeydew melons, bananas, chunks of pickled meat, etc., but also a large group of humans, centaurs, orcs, and elves imprisoned in cave cages... As we all know, in cannibalism In the eyes of the devil, all "living creatures" are equal to "food".

here…
The rising sun on the lost coast of Haishi Bay is dreamlike and beautiful. When a golden ball of warm sun rises slowly from the sea level, the warm light can quickly dispel the darkness and cold of the night...
Goron couldn't understand why other tribesmen were completely unable to understand this beauty, appreciate this broadness, and this magnificence. They seemed unconcerned with anything other than eating and sleeping. Except that his mother and sister can sometimes talk to Goron about this topic, in the eyes of other ogres, Goron is a very strange guy.
In fact, Goron also felt that he was somewhat different from other ogres. Of course, it was not about appearance, but something more essential, but he couldn't tell what it was. Shaking his head, Goron walked towards the entrance of the cave under the sea cliff, where he worked, the "kitchen" and "food storage room" of the Black Hand Ogre. As one of the rare "hard-working" ogres who does not put "eating" and "sleeping" before everything else, Gronn takes the tasks assigned to him by the tribe very seriously.
This semi-natural and semi-artificial ogre cave is very deep and long, and the inside is winding and winding like a sheep intestine. The strong and brutal ogre craftsmen used brute force to carve out hundreds of rooms of different sizes. A stone chamber, coupled with a simple but strong wooden fence and heavy iron chains, can become a good stone prison. The Black Hand Ogre tribe just plundered a large human slave caravan a few days ago, so now more than half of the stone prisons here are full.
Pushing open the big stone door at the entrance of the cave, you can immediately hear a miserable cry for help. It was the sound of the "foods" who were not seriously injured and still had some physical strength. After all, many people here were just captured. There are still some people who are full of energy and shouting earth-shatteringly. When the tribe eats together, Gron will naturally give priority to those guys with the loudest voices and the most physical strength to kill them, because it is very troublesome to manage these energetic guys. If you are not careful, you will be killed. Will let them escape. Although it is impossible for them to break out of the village, they will cause a lot of trouble anyway.
The messy languages of various races are surging in the cave, which naturally makes people feel irritated and angry, but after all, Goron is a rare smart ogre. He knows how to plug his ears with dried seaweed. Simple and effective ways to reduce noise nuisance at work.
It was Gron's daily routine to carefully inspect each stone prison and check the survival status of the food. Those who were about to die, or those who were making a particularly fierce noise, were the priority to be dealt with. This is all the experience that Gron has gradually summed up in his work.
Ogres originally never cared about the "storage status" of "food", just like the "Ogre Guide" entrusted by King Mogar to the giant demon Rafana to give to Gronn. Although the ogres will "eat" He values above all else, but in fact he is not particular about "eating" at all. Before Goron became the tribe's chef, the cave was originally full of stench and filth. Many "foods" were eaten after they died and rotted for a long time. Dragging away and eating, there have also been cases where the "food" escaped from the cage and gathered together to kill the guards and escape.
But since Gron became the chef and food manager, the situation has improved significantly. As one of the rare ogres who can't stand the stench, Gron wrapped his mouth and nose with thick cloth and conducted a thorough cleaning here. , and then with the help of Hakulili and several ogre friends, all the ingredients were reclassified and sorted. Those who were full of energy had their legs broken and were thrown into the strongest stone chamber. Those who were about to Those who died were dealt with as soon as possible, etc. Although the other ogres could not understand the meaning of Goron's actions, they could still feel that the food every day was much more delicious than before, and it was getting better and better. . Although ogres can eat anything like a trash can, they still have basic senses of taste, especially when Gronn began to trade some of the loot obtained from plunder with those bold goblin merchants to obtain special supplies such as spices. After that, the living standards of the Black Hand tribe skyrocketed. The most satisfied with all this is Goron's mother Rafana Blackhand and sister Lily Blackhand. Compared with Goron's craftsmanship, the previous food was simply rancid garbage. Before this, the giant monster only ate some fruits and looted human food. Goron, who received great recognition from his sister and mother, also gradually found the value of his own existence in his work.
