Saul traverses into a wizarding world filled with eerie mysteries and deadly crises.
Determined to survive, he resolves to overcome all obstacles and become a wizard. However, in this terrify...
Chapter 653: Demon planting? Vaccine?
Noah didn't know why Scorpion suddenly lay on the ground.
However, when Thor also showed him the power of knowing languages, he finally understood that Scorpion actually regarded Thor as a god.
In the wizarding world, there are people who believe in gods in some backward places or remote areas of the continent.
However, most people still respect wizards.
Moreover, the more powerful the wizards are, the more shameful it is to believe in gods.
This is especially true in Borderlands.
No matter how powerful those dwarves or barbarians are, humans who are slaves of wizards will despise them.
So, at first Noah thought that Thor would refuse and correct the name of Scorpion.
But Thor acquiesced.
Noah's eyes widened slightly.
As he looked at Scorpion, who was becoming more and more respectful to Thor and answering his questions seriously, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
Thor asked Xiaozao to create a clone, one to pull Noah and the other to carry Scorpion, while he used the flying skill to return to Noah's cabin as quickly as possible.
After returning to the cabin, Thor did not let Scorpion in, and started questioning him directly on the small hill outside.
"Where are you from? What are you doing here?"
After being put down by Xiaozao, Scorpion was about to lie on the ground again, but was lifted up by Thor by the neck.
"I don't like you lying on the ground talking, just stand up and answer."
Scorpion hesitated, "But Grandpa said that we should show the utmost respect to the gods."
"Did your great grandfather tell you that the gods hate disobedient believers?"
Scorpion was stunned, and it took him a long time to understand what the believer meant, but he still compromised and did not try to lie on the ground again.
"I come from my tribe, right on the edge of this black plain of death."
Scorpion said that his father died while out looking for food, and after his mother married another man in the tribe, he was forced to become an adult because no one was willing to raise him.
Adults must go outside the tribe to hunt a monster and bring it back, otherwise they will not be qualified to settle down in the original tribe.
But Scorpion's ability was not strong, and for various reasons, the people in the tribe did not help him hunt.
So he originally wanted to go a little deeper into the Black Death Plains and set a trap to catch a gold-eating rat, but he accidentally went too deep and attracted the withered ghost vines. In the end, he was rescued by Noah who was opening the map.
Noah had never expected that the Black Desert, which had always been so quiet that it could drive people crazy, would be so dangerous.
Thor told Noah to keep quiet and maintain his persona.
"Where is your tribe?"
Scorpion looked back and looked around. "It's not clear now, but you'll be able to see it clearly when daybreak comes. My tribe is between two mountains, and it takes twelve days and nights to get here."
Scorpion raised his hands, but his fingers were not enough, so he had to add the deformed hand located at the tail vertebrae.
I almost lost count.
Thor continued to ask: "How many people are there in your tribe?"
Scorpion simply shook his head, "I don't know, a lot."
This is too much to count on one’s fingers.
"How many places like your tribe are there?"
"I know of three, but we rarely interact. Normally, we only interact when we change species."
After asking Scorpion a few more questions, Thor learned that the people here basically lived underground, surrounding the Black Death Plain where he was.
This Black Death Plain is very dangerous, but there are also many monsters. Some weak monsters are the source of food for most people.
However, few people would enter the deepest part of the Black Death Plain, which was where Thor was, because those who entered were either crazy or dead.
Finally, Thor asked about the scorpion's third hand, which interested him the most.
Scorpio didn't think there was anything wrong with having such hands. He just felt that his hands were too weak.
"Does each of you have hands here?"
Scorpion felt that the god in front of him did not seem to be as omniscient and omnipotent as his grandfather said. He held his third hand that seemed to be burnt.
"You mean the magic limb? We all have it, but it looks different for everyone. Some have wings like birds, and some have mouths like crocodiles."
"Every child will be implanted with a demon when they are born. Those who survive will have their own demon limbs, and those who die will be sold."
"What if you don't plant the demon?" Thor asked.
Scorpion looked a little surprised. He thought about it carefully and finally dug out a memory from deep inside. "The only child I remember who didn't have a demon turned into a monster when he was five years old. I heard that he ate everyone in his tribe."
According to Scorpio, people who don't cultivate demons may turn into monsters when they are a few years old.
Noah listened with great interest, but he held back and did not interrupt without Thor's permission.
"Inoculate a demon? Demon limbs? If you don't inoculate a demon, you'll turn into a monster." Thor crossed his arms and pinched his chin with one hand. "It's a bit like giving a newborn baby a vaccine. But the vaccines here are quite strong. It sounds like the survival rate of vaccines is not very high, and without vaccines, you won't last for a few years."
"It may have something to do with the anti-fans that are everywhere in this world."
"Perhaps people in this world have been studying anti-fans for a long time. Their research results may be able to help me and my senior's inertization formula."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The result of the questioning was that Thor became more determined to explore this world in depth.
But there's no rush now.
Noah still needs time to grow, and he also needs to prepare for promotion to the third level.
And after he reaches the third level, it should be safer to explore this chaotic area in depth.
Now let’s just get in touch with the world through Scorpio.
Thor stretched out his hand towards the deformed arm that Scorpion was holding in his arms, "Let me take a look."
Scorpion was a little nervous, but still controlled his charred and deformed arm and placed it in Thor's palm.
Thor's mental power penetrated deeply into it, "Sure enough, there are also black fans among the demon limbs, but they are slightly more active than the black fans underground."
Thor then asked about the methods of the scorpion to breed demons, and the scorpion told him the truth.
"You just said that your demon limbs are not very powerful. How do you compare them?"
Scorpion replied more carefully, "My magic limbs are just stronger, not very long. I can use them for sneak attacks occasionally, but they are not as strong as those of others in the tribe. So my new father didn't want to raise me, so he lied and said that I was an adult. In fact, I am only eight years old, and I am ten years away..."
Scorpio counted on his fingers, "Two years left!"
So this is what is called forced growth - lying about your age.
Thor nodded, suddenly raised his hand and tapped Scorpion's deformed arm twice, then stretched out his arm and tapped Scorpion's forehead with one finger.
The scorpion was horrified, thinking that the god was going to attack him, and fell down.
However, when he sat down on the ground, he found that he was neither dead nor injured, but his scalp was a little itchy.
Thor waved his hand again, and just as Scorpion was about to ask what happened, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
"I have planted a parasite in the scorpion's body. I will teach you how to control it later. You and the scorpion will live here first. Unless you can perform level 1 witchcraft, don't rashly go to find those tribes."
Noah nodded repeatedly.
"When I have time, I will go check on those tribes first. For now, you should just walk around the hut and be careful of the monsters they talk about."
Noah continued to nod obediently.
Thor left him new magic crystals and some scrolls, and when the time came, he left the Chaos Realm.
After Thor left, Noah, who had been looking well-behaved, suddenly looked at Scorpion.
"God?" He smiled. "They actually regarded the mentor as a god. What a backward and ignorant world."
"But...it wouldn't be bad to let my mentor become a god."
His eyes gradually became fanatical. "The mentor wants to explore this world. My power alone is too weak, and the mentor is very busy... Then I can assign this task to the believers."
"By then, this world will belong to the mentor! The mentor will become the true god of this world!"
Noah grinned, laughing extremely happily! (End of this chapter)
