Chapter 633 Lilith's Whereabouts
"What you're saying is something you could easily find out by asking around. I want to know how much you actually know about the Storm Altar?"
"You still haven't said why you killed them! You murdered so many innocent people! What did the village do to offend you?"
......
"My lord, our company is not open to the public. People outside the industry have no idea about our capabilities. In fact, we don't know much about the Ancestral Altar. Why is there a misunderstanding? It's because the barbaric troll village chief is unwilling to accept true civilization."
"The troll killed our business negotiator, which completely crossed the company's bottom line."
"Over the years, our interactions with trolls in various locations have been extremely unfavorable. As a form of punishment, we have had to implement security measures to protect our employees. Uncivilized races can only be taught civilization through gunpowder!"
......
The goblin, looking like a victim, frowned and recounted how the trolls had destroyed their exploration balloons, attacked expeditions, and sabotaged their so-called advanced drilling rigs and makeshift railroads and pipelines.
As he finished speaking, the trolls behind Lorraine trembled with rage...
Without the "god's" permission, Little Fang stood up angrily and cursed in the common human language: "You pretended to be guests, and we treated you well, but you secretly kidnapped our people and sold them, destroyed our temples, and stole our ancestors' sacred objects. And you even accused us first!"
"The pipeline polluted the sacred spring of life, the drilling rig destroyed the abode of the Tiger God, and the Tiger Spirit and crocodiles came out to harm your people. You have angered the spirits of nature. The punishment you have received is far from enough!"
......
“Little one, you’ve been to the underground city. I personally taught you that machinery is the future, and explosions are art! The beastly knowledge you believe in can’t feed your people or allow them to live a happy and high-class life!”
"To hell with civilized life!"
"Goblins are the devils of hell... They devour people without spitting out the bones, and use sweet words to deceive our people!"
The goblin leader seemed to recognize Little Fang, and Little Fang's ability to speak the common language of humans truly surprised Lorraine.
Upon further inquiry, it was discovered that the village and the underground city weren't originally sworn enemies. The underground city, seemingly neutral like Ratchet, was frequently visited by human sailors and pirates from the northern castles, as well as orcs and trolls. The village chief's son and children from various races had all attended schools run by goblins and had seen the world.
However, things later spiraled out of control...
Upon realizing the immense value of the resources his people possessed, Little Fang understood that the creatures of the underground city harbored ill intentions; everything they did was aimed at plundering their last resources and desecrating their sacred land...
In other words, the goblin Kaz's claim that he was unable to communicate with civilizations was a complete lie.
They're all driven by profit...
After Lorraine understood, she became even angrier.
"You bunch of robbers, you raided someone's home to mine, and then you called them barbaric and killed innocent people indiscriminately. Letting you die like this is far too lenient for you!"
"Oh, sir! Wait, don't listen to this little thing's nonsense... The barbarians are uncivilized. We build roads and pipelines to let them see the world and open their eyes. We bring them food and tools, but they don't appreciate it and even attack us... We only do business, but we get malice in return!"
The goblin gritted his teeth: "In my opinion, trolls shouldn't be considered a human race at all. This perfectly aligns with Archmage Ansrem & Ruinvel of the Kirin Tor's [Eastern Origin of Humans] and [Standards for Judging the Superiority of Humanoid Beings]... Look at us goblins, we're far more noble than those so-called native savage trolls!"
"Humans? Only the people of Stormwind in the Eastern Kingdoms are considered human? Dwarves don't count, elves don't count? What about gnomes... You're a goblin, do you also have prejudices against humans?"
......
"Goblins are an intelligent race. We are not human, nor do we consider humans to be noble. However, compared to trolls, I believe they are just like centaurs, harpies, and boarmen—primitive, uncivilized beasts... hardly intelligent beings..."
"Hmph, according to my teacher's teachings, you goblins, trolls, and night elves all share a common ancestor. You are no more noble than the so-called kobolds and tauren, nor are you a powerful race. The so-called humans are nothing but the degraded descendants of the Vrykul, and the dwarves and gnomes are descendants of earth spirits and iron creatures. In short, they are all a bunch of degenerated Titan creations!"
......
"That's impossible! Where did you get that information? Our company's archaeological data is the most up-to-date..."
"Race has never been a standard for judging good or bad. Only the most despicable individuals will tarnish the reputation of their own race! You appearance-based, narrow-minded, evil, and civilized-mouthed robbers are not worthy of talking about the words 'noble' and 'inferior'!"
......
"What are you trying to do? Didn't we agree that if I told you what you wanted to know, you would let me go?"
"What are you doing? I need to clean up the trash!"
......
"No, no, no, sir! There's more, there's something else you need to know, you've forgotten."
"I forgot? Forgot what!"
"Th-that...that undead, the necromancer..."
"A necromancer?"
......
"That's right, Lilith!"
"Where did you take Lilith? How is she?"
"Speak quickly! I don't want to hear the goblin's tales of superiority and inferiority, or his arrogant boasting! I'm going to rip your soul out and put it into the ugliest flesh demon, where it will never escape, so you can see for yourself what proves the so-called nobility and baseness of this world!"
......
The goblin's pupils contracted upon hearing this. It didn't understand why its boasting had angered Lorraine so much.
Aren't trolls the lowest level of native creatures?
They are savage and evil; all civilized races must fight trolls!
It's only because the Darkspear Trolls found the orcs as their backers that they're left; otherwise, they'd be nothing more than wild monsters... Sen'jin Village, apart from raising some velociraptors, is a completely backward seaside village. If it weren't for the orcs' protection, they would have been destroyed by centaurs and quilboars long ago.
The goblins of the underground city are very clever, and humans are considered fools by Kaz. He only mentioned Ansrem, the human supreme mage, to praise Lorraine.
Kaz the goblin couldn't understand why this filthy necromancer, who clearly looked like a human resurrected after death, would sympathize with savage monsters like trolls.
I don't understand why the other party got angry when we were having a good conversation and were about to get to the main topic, but then we started talking about other trivial things.
Lorraine was about to tear out its soul in a rage, extracting and refining it, transforming it from a seemingly adorable necromancer into an evil undead demon... It could only hastily pull out the last straw it had already sensed...
Lilith was discovered by them and taken to the underground city...
The necromancer's treasures were all lost and became spoils of war. Lilith was also taken prisoner; capturing a tribe's soldier on tribe territory was an extremely dangerous act.
The outlaws of the underground city, however, thought differently. Even an undead female priest was a rare commodity, even if she was a regular soldier of the tribe...
Katz dared not tell Lorraine that it had sold Lilith...
After some questioning, Lorraine realized his own questioning was flawed; he was completely unaware that he was being led by the nose by a prisoner. Aside from not getting Lorraine's name, the goblin already understood Lorraine's intentions.
Judging from the control over the village and the anger, it turns out that the master of the troll village has changed to a strange necromancer. This tribal officer seems to have many secrets...
The cunning goblin grasped the key point.
It only took a few words to get Lorraine under its thumb.
Upon hearing news of Lilith, Lorraine panicked...
Lorraine forgot that he hadn't yet found out what the other party was looking for, where the green poisonous fog came from, and why they were going to kill him... Actually, these questions weren't important. To get what he wanted to know, the prerequisite was to make his own judgments and extract the key points based on the information from the other party.
Only a fool would believe everything the other person says.
The drawback of writing and language is that they can change their true and complete meaning under different conditions and contexts, which angered Lorraine.
As a saint, she gets angry for no reason just because of differing opinions.
The mindless and narrow-minded necromancer lost his mind... He was anxious; despite having obtained information about the underground city, he was enraged by some trivial and bizarre argument.
With just a few words, the cunning goblin lured Lorraine's attention to Lilith.
Lorraine revealed Lilith's name herself, and Kaz then learned that the necromancer they had captured was named Lilith. The fiercely resisting necromancer was subdued, and the injuries she had suffered must not be told to the berserk necromancer...
Furthermore, I can't let the necromancer actually skin me alive again...
After such a long delay, the reinforcements should have arrived by now!
The goblin's eyes darted around, then he looked up and started shouting...
"Help me! Help me! You must keep your promise, or the Moon Goddess will punish you!"
The goblin suddenly shouted at the sky. Lorraine, already affected by Lilith's news, was startled and instinctively looked up at the sky as well. Several small shadows passed right overhead...
It looks like something is rushing down from above!
