MTL - Civilization of Azeroth: Start the Great Pyramid-Chapter 7 Conversion of the Sand Trolls

The day after the conversation with Bigowitz ended, Haggard escorted the goblin back to Gadgetzan.

To Li De's surprise, Bigowitz came to the territory again that day. The only difference from the last time was that he drove the goblin sand truck and also carried Haggard and a few others.

Li De was very interested in this kind of transportation with high speed and capacity, but after asking about the price, he gave up the idea of ​​using this kind of locomotive for transportation.

Bigowitz told Li De that after he went back and explained the situation to Nogfogg, Nogfogg decided on the spot to agree to cooperate. And again delegated Bigowitz here to work out a development plan together.

Moreover, three days later, after Nogfogg has arranged Gadgetzan's affairs, he will bring someone over in person to negotiate with Li De on the specific cooperation details.

The reason why Bigowitz was asked to come first and make a plan before the formal negotiation was to express Nogfogg's sincerity in cooperation.

Li De really felt the sincerity of cooperation.

It has to be said that as a trade race, goblins are indeed very efficient in their work, and cooperating with such a race puts a lot of pressure on the craftsmen in the territory.

At the same time, Li De also had a new view on the person of Norgefogg. It is true that goblins have bad qualities such as greed and cunning, but their courage should not be underestimated:

After realizing that Gadgetzan and Shining Plains may be failed projects, facing Li De's "life-saving straw", Norgefogg showed no restraint at all, as if he was not afraid of Li De's lion's mouth.

This is a big no-no in negotiations, but in the two options of facing this big mess alone and being slaughtered after Gadgetzan rejuvenates, it is a matter of opinion.

In fact, when both parties have a strong intention to cooperate, the form is not so important.

Li De also attached great importance to this cooperation, and personally led the team to **** Van Cleef, Bigowitz and others to the Qingquan Plain for on-site investigation the next day.

After arriving at Qingquan Plain, professionals evaluated the water source and measured the landform, while Li De took his subordinates to clean up the dangerous animals in this area.

Because of the high-quality water source, there are quite a lot of animals in this area, such as giant scorpions and coyotes, which have been hunted conservatively and killed a hundred or two hundred, and the skinning masters who accompanied them all smiled.

There will be such a high cleaning efficiency. In addition to Li De, the heroic warrior, the ten soldiers he brought: Ander, Martin Ray, Jaxson, Primilo, Brad, Maclure, Samuel Sen, Justin, Jason, Greg... these great boys are all elite fighters!

In the army, everyone has the ability to become a captain or even higher. But Li De gathered them together and made the hardest fist in the territory.

And I would like to thank one person, that is the armor maker Adler. Yesterday, he led people to make more than a dozen sets of armor overnight.

After it was delivered to Li De this morning, he handed over all the equipment to this elite team.

The clean-up work went on for more than two hours. After cleaning up the nearby giant scorpions and coyotes, Li De encountered a magical creature:

This is a huge lizard that is four or five meters long and can reach the height of a human waist. It has three pairs of legs, a thin face, sail-like fins on both sides, and a slender snout. A row of large scales grows on the back, and ore crystals grow between the thin scale gaps of the epidermis.

This monitor lizard is not as aggressive as other dangerous creatures, on the contrary, it is very timid. Seeing Li De and the others approaching, they ran away immediately, and the running speed was not slow, and the speed could reach 20 to 30 kilometers per hour!

The moment he saw this monitor lizard, Li De had the idea of ​​domesticating it. Tanaris lacks large-scale livestock, and the inability to increase the transportation volume is also a major problem restricting the development here.

If the monitor lizard can be successfully domesticated, it will be easier to connect the beach and Gadgetzan.

Therefore, Li De deliberately asked Bigowitz for advice. But Bigowitz really didn't understand this time. Goblins have no tradition of domesticating livestock, and he has never seen an example of successfully domesticating monitor lizards.

Hearing what Bigowitz said, Li De had no choice but to give up and instead asked about the canal.

When asked about the canal, Bigowitz and Van Cleef all came to their senses, and they said a lot. Li De could understand it at first, but at the end, he could only nod his head ambiguously.

After the two people introduced the development plan, Li De couldn't make any suggestions except for dozens of "um".

Of course, Li De is still very self-aware. He only needs to take the general direction and make sure that two canals can be built. He will not interfere too much in other things.

After the preliminary survey was completed, the experts marked the first construction site near the water source, and the skinning master over there has also stripped off all the carapace fur.

Then everyone set off on their return journey with a full harvest.

And when everyone walked to the border of Qingquan Plain, Li De finally saw what Haggard said:

There are about dozens of trolls with khaki skin and ragged clothes, at the foot of the Great Pyramid, worshipping with words, and not far away, Haggard is leading two squads of soldiers, staring with full of alertness. These trolls.

Most of them are now wearing the light armor made by Adler. Those who didn't get the light armor simply put on the plate armor again, so facing these ragged trolls, they had no pressure at all.

Li Dexian instructed Jason and Greg to send the master craftsmen back to the territory, and he brought the elite team to join Haggard.

"What exactly is going on?"

Haggard also looked confused.

"I don't know either. Soon after you set off in the early morning, these guys came and brought a bunch of things and put them under the Great Pyramid, and it started like this.

I arrived with people and saw that they had no intention of fighting us. Just as you ordered, I didn't take the initiative to provoke a conflict, but I just didn't know how to deal with it. "

After listening to Haggard's details, Li De looked at the trolls again, and after some thought, he made a bold decision.

"All of you come with me."

As he spoke, Li De took everyone and walked towards those trolls.

When those trolls saw people coming from a distance, they all became nervous, and subconsciously wanted to pick up weapons. But their leader stopped them.

It was a troll who looked like he had just grown up. If he could tell from his facial features, both humans and trolls were face-blind, but by the size of the troll's teeth, he could almost guess his age.

This young troll, who was guarded by everyone behind him, could almost guess that Li De was the person with the highest status, and he also took the initiative to walk over to Li De.

This also caused Haggard and others behind him to be nervous for a while, but Li De signaled them to restrain himself. He saw that the troll was not armed.

When the troll walked in front of him, Li De couldn't help but feel dizzy. He was tall among humans, but much shorter than the troll.

If it wasn't for the troll's habit of walking hunched over, Li De probably wouldn't be able to even look at the other side.

The troll said a lot to Li De, and Li De was stunned that he didn't understand a word. At this time, he remembered an embarrassing fact, he can't speak troll!

Seeing that he couldn't get Li De's response, the troll became more and more anxious. Li De quickly calmed his emotions and sent Brad to invite Bigowitz from the territory again. He probably knew troll language.

After waiting like this for a long time, Bigowitz arrived late with Brad. Seeing that Li De wanted to invite him as an interpreter, he was a little reluctant.

In his opinion, it is more valuable to quickly complete a great development plan than to translate for some troll.

The relationship between trolls and goblins is not friendly. Seeing a new goblin, the troll frowned, but then he heard the goblin speak to him impatiently in troll language.

"I'm the translator between you two, just say whatever you want, don't waste my time, time is money!"

Biggowitz's words were very unfriendly, but they were very pleasant to the ears of the troll. He seemed a little excited and talked to Bigowitz.

Li De looked at him with hot eyes, this Bigowitz is really a talent! Common language, goblin language, troll language, able to use three languages ​​proficiently, and superb engineering skills.

"Mr. Bigowitz, what did he say?"

Hearing Li De's question, Bigowitz made a wait gesture to the troll.

"He is praising the Great Pyramid, calling it the miracle of the **** of the desert, and asking if you are the high priest of the **** of the desert."

Li De couldn't help laughing at this question, and at the same time lamented that the tradition of trolls for thousands of years, for trolls, belief in God is extremely important.

But Li De turned his head and thought again, the Great Pyramid that appeared out of thin air in the desert had no other explanation other than a miracle.

Thinking of this, Li De nodded.

"Please tell him that I am the high priest who witnessed the miracle of the Great Pyramid. What's the matter with him?"

In fact, there was no need for Bigowitz to relay it. Seeing Li De nod, the troll had already obtained the answer, and he said a lot more excitedly.

Bigowitz is doing simultaneous interpreting.

"The gods really did not abandon the sand trolls! For thousands of years, the sand trolls have never given up their worship to the gods, but the gods have never given us a real response.

We saw a great miracle here today, and we know that we have not been abandoned!

Ask the high priest to allow us to pay homage to the gods, and we will offer them generously! "

The troll said with great excitement. Li De was moved by his longing for the gods, and then he looked at these trolls "offering" to the gods:

It was a pile of bloody, unidentified pieces of meat that were cut from an animal.

Then Li De remembered that he had heard about these trolls when he talked to Bigowitz before, and couldn't help but sighed. These "consecrations" were probably their rations for several days.

"Please tell him that the gods accept their respect and piety, and the gods will accept their offerings. But the benevolent gods also protect everyone who survives stubbornly in the desert, and the food will be given back to them as a reward and given them to continue Courage to survive."

When Bigowitz finished the translation, the troll looked at Li De in disbelief, his eyes changed from surprise to surprise, and then to reverence.

The troll turned around and shared "God's will" loudly with his fellow clansmen. All the trolls were so happy that they even cried, and they all knelt down again toward the Great Pyramid. It's "LOA"!

Li De's expression became solemn. Although he didn't understand troll language, he understood what the word "LOA" represented!

"Loa" is a natural deity that trolls believe in with the most lofty beliefs, and along with the belief of trolls, Loa will also give believers their own power to make them stronger!

Trolls believe in animism, so most loa are beasts with divine nature, and some wilderness demigods are also loa that trolls believe in.

But today, these trolls who have been isolated in the desert and lost the orthodox Loa belief for thousands of years, worship the Great Pyramid as the Loa God!

"Ding~, please note that the Great Pyramid of Wonders (Ancient) triggers the 'conversion event', does it cost 500 productivity points to activate?"

Eureka's voice suddenly sounded, startling Li De.

He now only has more than 500 productivity. It would be a pain if he spent all of it, and he still spent it on a "conversion event" that he didn't know what it was.

But looking at the trolls who were kneeling and crying towards the Great Pyramid, Li De couldn't help sighing. Living in a difficult environment for a long time can indeed destroy a person's spirit.

'Since it was triggered by these trolls, it should be activated for them. ’

Out of compassion, Li De chose to activate the so-called "conversion event", and his productivity points were instantly reset to zero.

Li De was about to sigh, but the next scene made him swallow the sigh again.

Soft rays of light, projected from the top of the Great Pyramid, shone on these trolls! There was a peaceful smile on every troll's face!

"Ding~, congratulations to the leader, the Great Pyramid of Wonders (Ancient), harvesting the conversion of the sand troll Nibuhr Sandtop, rewarding 10 points of productivity."

"Ding~, congratulations to the leader, the Great Pyramid of Wonders (Ancient), harvesting the conversion of the sand troll Trunnuk, rewarding 10 points of productivity."

"Ding~, congratulations to the leader, the Great Pyramid of Wonders (Ancient), harvesting the conversion of the sand troll Anggagu, rewarding 10 points of productivity."

…

A total of 67 sand trolls, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Li De gained a total of 670 productivity points.

Li De's uncontrollable smile on his face, this productivity cost is so worth it!

And after the sand trolls received the response from the Great Pyramid, the expressions on their faces were all extremely pious.

The young troll stood up again, gave Li De an extremely respectful salute, and said in an excited but restrained voice.

"The lofty high priest is above, Nibuhr Shading pays his respects to you."

Li De just returned the courtesy politely, and didn't care too much. Instead, Bigowitz, who was working as a translator, asked in surprise.

"Niebuhr Shading? What's your relationship with Ukzi Shading?"

Niebuhr's expression suddenly turned grim.

"Ukzi Sanding...he's my uncle...but he's a shameful usurper!"

Seeing that "that goblin" and "the noble high priest" were both looking at him curiously, Niebuhr didn't continue on this topic for long.

"Niebuhr will always remember the kindness of the high priest, thank you for your acceptance today."

Leaving such a sentence, Nibuhr Shading actually called the clansmen to leave like this. Of course, when they left, these trolls also brought the "enshrinement" they brought. After all, this is a gift from the gods.

Li De looked at the background of the departure of these trolls in surprise. He thought that these trolls would linger for a while longer, and even he was ready for those trolls to settle nearby.

Who would have thought that these trolls would just leave like this? What an amazing experience.

Li De thought so, but soon he put these troll things behind him. For him, this was just a small episode. What he should really care about was the construction of the territory and the cooperation with Gadgetzan.
