Chapter 400: Special Individuals
Although many of these were precautions that Zhou Xu had reminded them of in advance, the fact that they were able to apply them now was also a manifestation of Zhuo Ge's rich experience.
Compared to the experienced Drogo, Silk, who was doing this for the first time, was obviously nervous.
"Relax."
Drogo, noticing this, spoke out.
"This is only the first day. You have to be prepared to stay here for a month or two, or even longer. To do this, we must ensure that we can survive here."
As he was talking, Drogo found a place to sit down, picked up his iron spear and examined it with a leisurely look on his face.
Then a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
"It's amazing. This enchanted weapon developed by the king pierced the body of the velociraptor without me even feeling any resistance."
Enchanted weapons are inherently sharp, and with the incredible momentum of the charge, one can imagine how powerful their destructive power is.
Hearing Drogo's words of praise, Silk's eyes also showed a hint of surprise.
He was already very surprised that their king was able to study their ancient elven language, but what he didn't expect was that their king could actually make enchanted weapons by himself.
Although this weapon has significant limitations in terms of loss, it is still incredible.
You know, even in the old civilization period, this was not a skill that any craftsman could master by spending a little time.
Now in Silk's mind, their king has become somewhat mysterious.
At the same time, as the invaded party, Gruul was inside the Lizardman camp at the border. As the Lizardman leader who was commanding the troops here, his face was gloomy.
They had just failed in their attack, and now the enemy troops had invaded their territory. Although the casualties on their side were not that great during the whole process, the series of situations made him, as the commander, somewhat embarrassed.
During this period, the military supervisor arranged by the high priest would certainly not help him conceal the news. The situation here soon reached the ears of the high priest, and as the commander, he received the summons from the high priest as expected.
"Gruul, meet the high priest!"
Unlike his usual strong attitude in front of his subordinates, when facing the high priest, Gruul's whole body tensed up uncontrollably, like a child who had made a serious mistake.
During this process, the high priest remained silent. In the dead silent hall, Gruul didn't even dare to breathe heavily. Beads of cold sweat the size of beans on his forehead slowly slid down his cheeks. The invisible pressure that permeated the air made it difficult for him to breathe.
At this moment, the high priest's voice, which sounded neither happy nor sad, rang out in the hall.
"Compared to the same batch of tribesmen hatched from the sacred incubation pool, Gruul, you are born with a stronger physique. This is a gift from the Lord God, and I have high hopes for you."
At this moment, the more the high priest said this, the more frightened Gruul became. The growing fear in his heart almost swallowed him up completely.
"But the recent events have disappointed me."
Hearing this, Gruul's whole body trembled and his face instantly lost color.
"I am incompetent. Please give me a chance, High Priest. I am willing to go to the frontline battlefield to redeem myself for my crime!"
There was no doubt that Gruul's words at this moment also concealed his own thoughts.
Judging from the situation here, although only a few enemies have come in, they come and go like the wind and have no fixed place to stay. It would be a hassle to search for them.
Rather than wasting time here, he would rather go to the front battlefield to fight.
Now, as long as the high priest nods, he can easily get rid of this trouble.
During this time, listening to Gruul's words of "making up for his crime with merit", the high priest looked at him deeply.
That look made Gruul's body stiffen. At that moment, he knew that his little thoughts had been seen through.
But now he had no way out, so he could only bite the bullet, maintain that "apologetic" attitude, and wait for the decision of the high priest.
They, the lizard people, lay eggs. When a female lizard person is about to give birth, she will enter the sacred incubation pool to give birth and soak the lizard eggs in the pool.
This pool has the power bestowed by their gods. While it allows their offspring to hatch more stably, there is also a certain probability of giving birth to special individuals that are different from ordinary lizardmen.
Gruul, who is naturally stronger, is undoubtedly one of them.
Even the high priest was the same.
Therefore, the value and status of special individuals like this in the community need no further explanation.
From the previous expedition to the opposite continent to now, Gruul's recent performances have indeed disappointed him, but he is definitely not guilty of a capital crime.
At least Gruul's value prevents the high priest from executing him easily.
"Well, since you want to go to the front battlefield, then go ahead."
While speaking, the high priest waved his hands with difficulty.
"I hope you won't let me down again this time. Go down."
Gru felt relieved immediately after getting this answer. While he was greatly relieved, his tone became a little more excited than before.
"Thank you, High Priest. I will definitely not let you down this time!"
After saying these words with great confidence, Gruul, who didn't want to stay here any longer, left the temple without looking back.
Looking at Gruul's leaving back, the high priest tapped lightly on the metal armrest of the chair with his fingers, and then made a decision.
"Let Soros come to see me."
After the high priest gave the order, a lizardman covered with green scales walked into the temple soon.
Among the lizardmen, green scales are the characteristic of "Baltu". They are relatively small, generally less than 1.6 meters tall, with fine green scales and fin-like organs of the same color on their heads and backs.
But at this moment, the 'Baltu' that walked in was a little different from the usual ones.
Although his physique was not considered to be burly, he was over 1.6 meters tall, and definitely over 1.7 meters tall. It could be seen that under the dense scales, he had relatively strong muscles.
This body size is definitely considered big among "Baltu".
In addition, unlike ordinary 'Baltu', the fin-like organs on his head and back are a brighter red! Needless to say, this is a special individual similar to Gruul!
"Soros, meet the high priest!"
