Chapter 587 Western Exploration Team 2

What should we call these horned humanoid creatures? Grant looked at the tauren priest with questioning eyes.

Egbert replied with some helplessness: "The superior species, this is what we call them."

Superior species? Hearing that this name seemed to have the connotation of some kind of advanced race, Grant looked at the priest with even more confusion.

"Yes, they are indeed a more powerful and advanced race." Egbert admitted, "Before the ancient times, the ancestors of the superior species once led our ancestors to fight against the ancient demons. ”

demon? Is this some ancient myth?

"What devil are you talking about?"

"Devils are the legendary enemies of all races on this continent. They once enslaved us and squeezed us. It wasn't until all races rose up to resist that they were expelled into the Devil's Gate in the Far North. Since then, they have stayed away from our world. The world can no longer find any trace of them.”

Egbert's narration reminded Grant of the legend of the war between humans and demons that is common in all human countries in the Old Continent. It seems that in the legend, there is also a gate to hell in the far north of the continent. If the gate of hell is opened, it will release Things like the devil, Count Heller even mentioned this legend to Captain Stanford of the Northern Exploration Team in a serious manner at the grand banquet they attended before setting off.

Isn’t this right? Could it be that there really was such a terrible race in ancient times, wreaking havoc everywhere in this world, so that both the civilized races in the New World and the Old World still have terrible memories of them?

How did they do it? When mankind was still ignorant, did this evil race master the ability to sail across the ocean and wander around the world at will? If they were so powerful, how could they fail in the face of primitive humans—and now it seems there may be other races?

Egbert sighed and continued to introduce the stories that happened on this continent. "Legends say that demons generally have steel claws, and some even have steel heads and steel bodies. What's even more terrifying is that some alien demons have two arms and four legs. These alien demons can use their The four legs galloped like flying, and they fought with their two arms wielding steel claws."

While the tauren priest was describing, Grant was also describing the image of the devil in his imagination, especially the alien devil mentioned by the other party, with two arms and four legs? Running like flying? There are legends about centaurs in the Old World, which also have two arms and four legs. Although no one has ever actually seen a centaur, there is no legend that mentions that centaurs have steel claws, steel heads, and steel bodies.

"In the beginning, the various races with only flesh and blood were unable to resist them. It was not until the upper species that I just mentioned awakened the power of God that they had the power to fight the devils."

God...the power of God?

Grant's eyes widened when he heard this. Could what Egbert said be magic, witchcraft or something like that? On the continent where he came from, that thing was a taboo. When his fleet set off, Jiaowan was still engaged in some kind of witch hunt.

Just listen to the tauren priest say: "The generation of divine power allows the superior species to show incredible abilities, such as the ability to spray flames, release thunder and lightning, change the weather, and make the enemy hallucinate."

Okay, okay! Egbert thought to himself, it seems that he guessed it right, isn't this witchcraft? The Inquisition in the church back home must have loved these ram-horned men.

In his heart, Grant didn't want to call them a superior species, so let's call them "goat people".

"The various special abilities brought by the power of God offset the advantages of the demons - their steel claws, steel heads, steel bodies, and those alien demons that ran as fast as flying. As a result, the superior species competed with the demons in all aspects They gradually gained leadership status among the fighting races, and they made good use of this status to unite all races to fight against the demons, and finally expelled the demons into the Demon Gate."

So the goat people still have great benefits to other races. Grant asked strangely: "If this is the case, how did they become your enemies?"

Priest Egbert let out a long sigh and continued: "Even a few years ago, the upper races were not what they are now. After the war against the demons, the leaders of each race gathered together to discuss the future. Arrangements, the upper species have made great contributions and sacrifices to expel demons, and they deserve to enjoy the greatest victory. Fruit, this is recognized by all races. Therefore, each race recognizes that the upper species can exclusively enjoy the land in the south, while the land in the north is shared by other races, including ours. . In the long period since then, although there have been occasional minor frictions between various races, the continent has generally maintained peace."

"However, just five years ago, the superior species on the southern land suddenly changed their attitude and began to continuously send troops to the northern land to capture members of other races."

Grant asked: "Why?"

Egbert's face was full of sorrow. "According to the people who escaped from the south, they were captured and made slaves. The superior species split into three large tribes and countless small tribes in the long inheritance. Recently, a fierce war broke out between them. A large number of tribesmen became soldiers and needed a large number of workers, so they took the method of plundering slaves from the northern continent."

"This is really... really shameless."

In order to comfort Egbert, Glen cursed the guys he named "Sheep People", but he knew in his heart that this phenomenon was too normal on the continent where his hometown was.

"Egbert, I..." Glen said hesitantly.

"Oh, my friend. I didn't ask you to do anything. I know that your number is too small, and even if you stay, it won't change anything." The sincere attitude shown on the bull face opposite made Glen a little ashamed.

"Indeed, alas, anyway, I'm really sorry."

Glenn's face flushed. It would be great if he was a free adventurer, but now he is a subordinate of Count Paul Graman and cannot make any promises to the Great Creek Tribe.

No mistakes in one sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one book, one bar!

"I will leave a batch of swords for you to use."

Finally, Glenn still felt that he should do something, "Then, I can only wish you good luck."

Egbert looked at him and said, "Thank you for your blessing, the guest who came from afar."
