Chapter 417: Everyoneâs Rolling Stone Town!
Translator: Lonelytree
Human flesh was far from the best choice for Ogres.
Only the most desperate Ogres would eat human flesh when they were forced to.
â Comparing ogres with trolls, intentionally or unintentionally, is the work of some great existences trying to smear the ogreâs name. Smear campaigns are normal for these great existences.
âOnce you know this epic tale, please tell a lost Ogre that the glory of the Troll Empire flows in his blood.
âPlease call him the descendant of the great Savassin.
Those were the original words from the book.
Matthew did not intend to be so straightforward.
But he was also willing to give the descendants of Savassin a chance.
âA night has passed. Have you given it much thought?
âWhere do you plan to go next?â
Matthew walked down from the highest floor and smiled at Elv and Gezar, who were still arguing.
âWe plan to stay!
â We can cook for you. Elv said you look like a very powerful mage.â
Gezar said first.
Elv knocked his head hard.
âIdiot, donât tell anyone about our secret!â
He said to Matthew in embarrassment,
â Not only are we good at cooking, but we also Imow a little magic. I can help you crack the secret door in the tree tower. I almost succeeded before those despicable Witherers tied us up!â Matthew looked surprised.
âWere you here before the Withered took over?â
Elv nodded.
âYes, they came later.
âThat idiot Gezar and I were originally living in the Helen Mountains in the north. Oh, that place is far from here.
âOne evening.
âOn our way to hunt, we encountered the legendary Void Whale. Youâve seen the Void Whale before. Itâs very big, very, very big.
âHe appeared on the horizon in the distance. His body was translucent, like a whale wandering in the sky.
âGezar said he saw a figure on the whaleâs back.
âBut I didnât see it.
âI just stared at the tentacles by the whaleâs mouth.
âIt was really beautiful.
âI thought that if I could cut a few of them down, they might be the most delicious ingredient in the world. âHowever, we fell asleep as we watched.
âWhen we wake up.
âWe felt cold all over and found ourselves lying on a cloud, which was actually a block of ice.
âAt that time, there were many clouds around us.
âSome clouds were empty, and if one stepped on them, one would fall through and die.
âSome of the clouds were solid blocks of ice;
âThere were also some clouds that were frozen, but they shattered when stepped on.
âWe crawled out of those clouds with great difficulty.
âIn the end, we found the floating island in the sky.
âWe donât have the ability to fly. We couldnât find a way down. We could only look around for an opportunity to escape.
âFinally, I found the tree tower.
âThe secret door at the core of the tree tower looked familiar to me. It seemed to overlap with the memories in my bloodline.
âI tried to decipher it and found that it was working.
âHowever, Gezarâs brain capacity was a burden to me.
âI was not efficient enough.
âI had only deciphered half of it when that group of Witherers rushed up. They were very rude and wanted to kill us. Fortunately, I had an idea and said that I was a chef. Only then did they let us go and tied us up in the lower level to cook for them every day.
âHowever, what those big shots didnât know was that I was much smarter than them!
âI thought that the human mage would be able to decipher the secret door very quickly, but who knew that after so many days, there would be no progress at all.
âHehehe.
âIf it were me, I would be able to decipher all the contents of the secret door in fifteen days at most.â
Elv showed off proudly.
At this moment, Gezar bumped into him.
âDidnât we agree to whisper these things to each other? Why did you tell him?â
Elv was stunned.
Soon after.
He was furious and said,
âGezar, keep your head away from me. I can feel the blood from your brain tainting my intelligence! Damn it, I actually told him all my secrets. This is all your fault.â
Gezar was also furious.
âScold me again, and Iâll kill myself.â âGo, go! You can jump from the side. Letâs see if you have the guts!â The two of them started arguing again.
Matthew was seriously thinking about the information Elv mentioned.
In fact, he was also very curious about why the ogre would appear in the sky.
However, Elvâs answer surprised him.
Matthew had heard of the legend of the â Void Whale â, but he wasnât very clear about it.
He only knew that it was one of the ghost stories that the residents in the north-central part of the continent would occasionally mention.
It was said that at dusk in summer.
When you stood on the endless plains, you might see the legendary âVoid
Whale.â
It seemed to be a huge creature from the void. It had a huge body like a whale, but it also soared in the sky like a bird, wandering above the horizon.
In the people of northern Aindor, the meaning of the Void Whale was extremely divisive.
Some people thought that he would bring luck to the witnesses.
There were also people who thought that he was a sign of disaster.
Matthew didnât have much relevant knowledge. He only vaguely thought that if what Elv said was true, then the power of the Void Whale brought the Ogres into the sky..
