Quadruple split

Savage Highlands (perfect question ↑) is located on the westernmost side of the northwest continent in the game, and is bordered by the Endless Sea, Dragon's End, Cassero Grassland, and Barbarian Fang Wilderness. It is said that there is a road to the south that leads directly to Ember. There is a trail in the valley, but not many people know where it is or how to get there. The reason... Mainly because almost no one would go to activities in high-risk areas that are not considered restricted areas for life but are not too far away.

Speaking of Savage Highlands, the area of ​​this place is not large, but it is not much smaller. It is about the size of two duchies in the Violet Empire. It is not much different from the Principality of Skarlan, but it is a vast place. dilute.

The history of the Savage Highlands is not that long. About 1,700 years ago, it was the western frontier of the Sun Dynasty. It was just a frontier. However, this desolate land did not receive much attention from Undershel at that time. Although it was There are some symbolic garrisons, but there are almost no towns or populations. Except for being divided into the territory of the dynasty, it is a barren land where no birds can poop.

You must know that at that time, even the 'Yao Riyuan' to the east, which is now the 'Manya Wilderness', was intensively developed because of the Biling Mine vein underground, and it was also because of that vein that the 'Yao Ri Yuan' was It became a place where the Sun Dynasty raised monsters. Simply put, it was a collection of large [mines] + [animal pens]. It was a key construction place until the fall of the Sun Dynasty. The budget invested there every year was astronomical. Numbers, and the Savage Highlands are similar. Compared with the astronomical numbers, there is only one word "number of days" missing... that is, "mosquito".

Today, more than a thousand years after the fall of the Sun Dynasty, the Barbarian Fang Wilderness is still very popular among adventurers, mercenaries, and merchants because of the large number of active Warcraft. After all, the Innocence Realm is not one of those places where people appear every few seconds. There are a lot of monsters in the game. This place pays attention to logic. Although Warcraft is a relatively dangerous thing, it also has a considerable degree of value and rarity. Take Cole's lifelong enemy, who once gave him For example, take the 'Red Ridge Beast' that your crush Lorna Moonlight hit with a headshot. Although this thing is quite threatening to ordinary people and even middle- and low-level professionals, its skin is a very good fire element enchanting material, strong and A tongue that can be retracted at will is a powerful medicine in the eyes of pharmacists. Even eyes that have degraded to the point of seeing are very popular in the alchemist circle because they can make [Blind Torches].

In the past 'Yao Riyuan' and the current 'Manya Wilderness', various magical beasts ranging from Nikachu to Nikaqiu are active. Even if the Sun Dynasty is destroyed, they still inhabit this land. On the land with traces of Banling Mine, it is precisely because of this that there is an endless stream of gold diggers here. Some want to make a fortune through Warcraft, some want to make a fortune through Banling Mine, and some even come to hone their skills and challenge themselves. That’s why it’s called a place where risks and opportunities coexist.

As for the Savage Highlands, which was not even given a name originally and was only given the cold number [Region C21] by the Sun Dynasty, it was ignored by people as always until the seventh century after the fall of the Sun Dynasty, about 30 years ago. One day in the 900th year, Crotty Alexandros, a map surveyor from the [Geology Department] under the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, and his team went to investigate here to draw the latest version of the continent map, and made an astonishing discovery— —

This area that doesn't even have a name and is generally called the Wild West is actually inhabited!

It is a kind of 'creature' that is similar in appearance to 'human beings', but has abnormally developed muscles and bones. The general height of adult individuals is basically between 230 centimeters and 270 centimeters. They have body proportions similar to humans. As well as an appearance that conforms to mainstream aesthetics, they live in groups of 20 to 200 people and do not have a complete language system. The social form is still in the barter stage, and the means of survival is more primitive - hunting.

Hunt some magical beasts that probably lost control after the fall of the Sun Dynasty and fled to the west, and have continued to multiply in the past few hundred years.

Note, this is hunting monsters, not wild beasts.

Moreover, the monsters that can solve the problem of food and clothing are naturally not small gadgets like Nikaqiu that may not be enough to feed even three or four of them, but those that put aside the taste and texture, at least in terms of meat quality, are large and sufficient. The big monster.

By the way, in most cases, the size of Warcraft is generally proportional to its combat power. In this regard, you can refer to Behemoth and Dragon.

By the way, after the Sun Dynasty had just defeated the Pride of the Dragon Clan and the Dragon Clan fell apart, many unhappy experts and scholars on the mainland who had been looking at the stuff for a long time came out and made remarks that dragons should be classified as Warcraft. After that...the Sun Dynasty was quickly wiped out, and all the so-called experts and scholars were killed by the dragons whose pride was offended.

Well, let's get down to business -

All in all, the geologist named Croty Alexandros and his friends were all stunned after a few days of simple observation. They could not help but be stunned, even though these people's average The strength is not weak, and Crotty himself is a half-legendary shaman, but this does not conflict with their shock.

We can give a simple example. For example, it is not unusual for a heavily armed soldier to suddenly kill a tiger with a machine gun within five seconds, but if it is replaced by a soldier who not only does not have a machine gun, but is only wrapped in a A tough man wearing a layer of animal skin or a grass skirt also slapped the king of beasts to death with his big mouth in two seconds. The impact on his three views was only a little less big.

It is true that there are no machine guns in the Innocence Realm, but the power system here can be understood as something similar.

Take Crotty himself at that time, he could easily use the elemental spirit to kill the same type of Warcraft in pieces, because the professional system of 'shaman' and the power derived from this system were the handle in his hand. 'Machine Gun'.

In the World of Innocence, whether it is low-level or epic, these are all used to describe the 'professional level'. We can understand the 'low-level profession' as a pistol, and the 'legendary profession' as a nuclear bomb. The main difference from the weapons and equipment outside the game is that your 'career' is just like your 'knowledge' and cannot be snatched or stolen under normal circumstances.

But on that day nearly a thousand years ago, what Crotty Alexandros and others saw was a group of people with no 'professional', using their physical fitness and brute force to hunt monsters!

This is not the same level of impact as Wu Song's fight against a tiger. Wu Song's fight against a Decepticon is about the same.

All in all, after some observations, Crotty's team came to a horrifying conclusion, that is, these 'humanoid creatures' that appear from God knows where have extremely strong physical fitness, even the most basic exercise No need, as long as you reach adulthood, you can have strength comparable to the peak of the middle level. You must know that except for dragons and other outer-level creatures, even the ogres and orcs whose physical fitness is outstanding among intelligent races have not undergone any training. When it comes to exercise, it's only at an elementary level at best.

And the gap between the ordinary beginner and the intermediate peak... is almost equivalent to the gap between an ordinary adult and a young child. If nothing else, the latter can easily defeat ten of the former!

What a tough creature!

This is the conclusion Crotty came to after seeing and analyzing those ‘people’.

After that, he did not hesitate at all, and chose to contact the group of 'people' he observed that day, trying to gain a more in-depth and detailed understanding of them.

This is not a hasty choice. Although those humanoid creatures are indeed very strong and impactful, it is only relative after all. It is true that their basic physical fitness can crush almost anything known to humans except giant dragons. Intelligent creatures, but they only have "basic physical fitness".

For Crotty, the amazing thing about these guys is that ‘adulthood is the peak of the middle level’, but they are never simply the ‘peak of the middle level’.

So as a half-legendary shaman, Crotty has no reason to be afraid, because objectively speaking, even if hundreds of these 'powerful' and 'sturdy' creatures come together, they will be able to kill them in an instant. Slaughtered to death by himself.

Of course, although Crotty is not a saint, his character is not bad, so he decided from the beginning that even if the other party is completely unable to communicate with a beast, there is no need to hurt them. At most, he can scare them a little and then think of a solution. That’s it.

The result turned out to be beyond his expectation——

After discovering Crotty, after a brief commotion, the creatures actually performed extremely friendly actions, such as surrounding him and jumping up and down with expressions of excitement, such as making strange noises while doing unexplained limbs, such as moving The prepared food was stuffed into his hands like a treasure.

If the previous two actions still failed to allow Crotty to determine the thoughts and intentions of these creatures, then when the other party handed the food that was quite precious to them in front of him, he no longer had any doubts.

These creatures are undoubtedly 'friendly' and can 'communicate'.

After that, Crotty immediately asked his entourage to rush back to the Chamber of Commerce headquarters to report the situation, while he stayed to mingle with the humanoid creatures. In the initial report, as the top leader of the team, he reported these creatures Call it a 'savage'.

Yes, he is a savage in the literal sense, concise and vivid.

In the half month before the Chamber of Commerce sent support, Crotty also collected a lot of information through his unremitting efforts. For example, he found that although these 'savages' had a very primitive social form, they were not low in intelligence. In other words, except for the lack of knowledge inheritance, these people are no different from other intelligent races in terms of evolutionary perfection.

To put it into perspective, there is no difference between a gorilla who grew up among gorillas and Tarzan who was raised by gorillas. Although there is no difference in living habits between the two, Tarzan, the ape, can learn to change himself into a normal person. Humans can talk, brag, and fall in love, but real apes can't do that.

This is because their upper limits are 'ape level' and 'human level' respectively, so even if Brother Taishan played wilder than a monkey when he was young and frivolous, as long as he gets an opportunity, he can directly integrate into human society.

And these ‘savages’ are a lot of genuine ‘Tarzan’.

After only a few days of contact with them, Crotty discovered this. He believed that if a savage newborn was placed in the human world, after a few years, in addition to being larger than ordinary people, that baby It doesn't make any difference which human being the child is more casual about.

All in all, this discovery made Crotty very excited, and he took the initiative to teach the savages knowledge. In the process, although he used the power of the shaman several times, he was respected, but he was not regarded as a god. This can't help but Let him look at these savages again.

However, while making many discoveries, Crotty also had a lot of doubts.

That is, when did these savages appear?

You know, although this area is inaccessible, it is not a forbidden area for life. Although there are basically no people who have nothing to do to wander around in such a place where birds don't poop, but they occasionally come here just because they are chasing those monsters in the Wild Fang Wilderness. There are many mercenaries and adventurers coming here every year. Even if they basically don't investigate in depth, it is absolutely impossible that these savages have not been discovered until now if they have been living here.

Not only that, neutral organizations such as the Geology Department of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce to which he belongs, or the Archaeologists Association will occasionally come over for exploration. Therefore, in Crotty's view, as long as these savages have stayed here for more than five years, There is absolutely no way he could be the first to discover them.

However, judging from the current situation, he might actually be the first to discover it.

this……

"what on earth is it?"

Ji Xiaoge, who had been completely immersed in the story, wrinkled his nose in dissatisfaction and glared at Jadeka who suddenly started to act arrogant in the middle of the story: "Old Jia, tell me quickly! What's the reason for this!"

"have no idea."

As a result, Jadeka shrugged, shook his head and said: "More than nine hundred years have passed, and this matter is still an unsolved mystery. Those highlanders, yes, those who originated from the savage highlands, were originally People who are called savages don’t even know it, it’s like... they just grew out of the ground inexplicably.”

Except for Yaya who was chasing fireflies, Mo Tan, Lu Jiang and Ji Xiaoge all had their eyes widened, obviously very surprised by this conclusion.

"Well, I heard it from the elders in my family back then."

Jadeka chuckled, turned to look at the night sky in the west, and smiled: "There are too many unsolved mysteries in this world, and there are many weirder things than the origin of the savages."

"real or fake?"

"real."

"for example?"

"For example, you people from another world."
