Passing through the stone chambers, some of them contain wild deer, wild horses, orangutans and other large animals that inhabit the jungle, some contain low-level monsters such as crystal demon lizards, green poisonous wind snakes, wind wolf thunderbirds, etc. It contains sirens, centaurs, elves, dwarves and other sub-human or humanoid races. Of course, the majority here are humans. After all, these are the largest number of intelligent creatures that almost occupy the entire Blade Tower continent, and they are not too difficult to capture. .
Most of the eyes that stared at the little ogre Goron were filled with despair and dullness, and of course hatred and resentment. Regarding this point, Goron also felt a little strange. He didn't understand what "hatred" was at all, because when he slaughtered the wild deer and goats, although the eyes of these animals were also desperate, there was no hatred for his slaughter. the hatred of the person.
The weak are killed and eaten, and the strong continue to survive on their flesh and blood... Whether it is a lion, a raptor, a falcon, a shark... any carnivorous creature must eat as long as it is alive, and ogres will naturally eat when they are hungry. Meat, just to survive, isn't this a matter of course, but why do these guys feel such hatred for themselves? And contempt
Shaking his head, putting aside all the fleeting confusion, Goron continued to walk deeper into the cave. As he walked further inside, more branches appeared in the cave. Even Goron himself had You will get lost all the time, and no other ogre will set foot here. And in the deepest part of this deep cave, there is a secret belonging to Goron himself...
There has always been a proverb on the Dota continent, "Every boy hides three secrets." Gronn also has three secrets that only he knows, and one of them is that his "ingredients" actually only need to satisfy his requirements. With a small condition, you can postpone the fate of being killed and eaten. And this condition is very simple to say, it is to tell Goron a story or teach him to do something.
*************************************************** *************************************************** *****************
Gronn likes to listen to stories very much. This habit may be because of his human father...
Since the union of his mother and father and the birth of Gronn and Hakulili, the human father has escaped the fate of being reduced to food. He could have been here as a foreign tribe member like the Troll Witch Doctor. However, Gronn's father, Viscount Domenico Cristia Tabris von Huwen, never seemed to be able to adapt to his new identity as a foreign ogre. This man stayed in the dark corner of the hut all day long, talking repeatedly as if in sleep. He didn't respond when you talked to him. If you gave him some food, he would eat it mechanically without even looking at it. Finally, The troll witch doctor Old Haman finally came to a conclusion...
He's crazy.
For a while, Goron became very interested in his crazy father. He would squat next to his father all day long and listen to what he was talking about.
At first, there were many nouns that Gron didn't understand at all, such as "a nobleman like me", "framing", and "revenge". Gronn would memorize these repeated words from his father's mouth, and then ask the most knowledgeable shaman and old troll medicine man in the tribe. Although the answers they gave Gron were very limited, using this as a starting point, the smart Gron gradually became able to understand what his father was talking about...
That was his whole life.
Every incident from the time he was born was recounted over and over again by his father in confusing words... From deliberately breaking his grandmother's beloved vase to transforming from a boy into a man on the maid, from the life in the magic academy to From fooling around to having a crush on his beautiful and sexy biological brother, from being laughed at for his embarrassing mistake while hunting in the countryside to fighting openly and secretly with other noble children, from beating a common girl to death amidst laughter for the first time to being disgusted by seeing a real battlefield. nausea…
His birth, his family, his love, his boredom... his father's entire life is condensed in his nonsense. In this "little story" of life that is divided into sections, Gron seems to have He spent a period of time completely different from his ogre self.
He regarded these as stories, and it was precisely because of this that Goron loved listening to other people's stories so much. But it is a pity that after Gron finally got tired of hearing all his father's "stories", he could no longer find a new source of stories. Not to mention those simple-minded ogre idiot groups who are as pure as the sky and as clean as white paper. Even those old trolls who traveled on the mainland when they were young can barely be regarded as well-informed and eloquent. The bottom-of-the-box stories, such as the rise and fall of the troll empire Amani, the century-old battle between trolls and elves in the Onyx Forest, and the chronicles of the Blade Tower Continent, were all listened to by Goron in two or three months. Finally, Gron had an idea and finally found a brand new "story source".
That's right, it's the "food" imprisoned in the cave on the cliff. Goron knew that these foods knew many things that the ogres did not know.
Whenever he was about to kill and cook, Gron would ask the "food" a question: "Can you tell a story?"
Then, as long as the story satisfies Gron, and if the "food" has a new story that has not been told to him, Gron will point the butcher knife at the next candidate, and then continue to ask him or her that question: "Can you tell stories?"
…
Whether it’s an orthodox story or a fabricated story, whether it’s official mainland history or a legend or fairy tale, sometimes it’s even just some common sense or side knowledge, and finally it’s even some recipes or magic tricks... as long as it’s interesting enough "Story", Goron will listen to it with relish. Through this method, Goron is accepting some new and interesting things every day, things that he will never be exposed to in his life in the small world of the ogre tribe, which makes his life very complicated. Enrichment.
