Chapter 46: Casting a Net to Fish
Dora and the others, who knew nothing about the plot that they had been plotted against, continued to walk on the path, explaining common sense issues that Gaia needed to know from time to time.
"Oh, that is to say, the higher the place, the richer the magic. Even moving on high mountains is as difficult as in the water, but the source of resistance is changed from the water body to the viscous magic, right?"
"Yeah, that's it, so the dwarves have relatively strong individual qualities. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to move on high mountains, let alone cast giant puppets."
Listening to Dora's explanation, Gaia kept thinking in her heart.
The higher the place, the richer the magic element. It is probably because it is close to the atmosphere. This thing is the product of the "exhaust gas" that one exhales, so it is natural that the magic element content is high.
However, it turns out that walking on high mountains is as difficult as walking in water...
No wonder they are called "highland dwarves". They all go to high mountains, but they can't reduce the resistance area.
"Well, everyone can breathe in the water anyway. The main reason is that the resistance and pressure accompanying the increase in depth are too troublesome. That's why the mermaid family dominates the largest ocean and occupies the most resources."
Dora complained casually, but she didn't know how much this shocked Gaia.
If the world is really different, we cannot use inertial thinking to analyze it, otherwise we will suffer huge losses.
Silently keeping this truth in mind, Gaia looked at the huge pothole that gradually appeared in front of the road, and a statue of a girl knight standing at the front of the pothole. She couldn't help but point there and asked:
"What's going on with this hole? I remember it wasn't there when I came out before? And what's going on with this statue?"
Looking in the direction of Gaia's finger, Dora and Punk couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.
"Oh, that."
This time, it was Penke who explained Gaia:
"It was the site of the final battle in the Goblin Crusade five thousand years ago, and it was also the location of the Goblin lair. Mr. Gaia, you haven't seen it before, probably because you came from the southeast. Although the terrain there is flat, but
There are also many monsters."
Having said this, Penke glanced at Gaia subconsciously.
To be able to come out from a place where there are swarms of monsters, one must either be strong or extremely fast.
No matter which case, Lajas's reminder is correct. Mr. Gaia, who knows nothing about modern times and is full of doubts, may really be related to the sudden change in the Tower of Babel.
Noticing Penk's subconscious behavior, Gaia pretended not to notice it, pointed at the statue of the girl knight and continued to ask curiously:
"Then this statue was erected to commemorate the victory in the final battle, right? I wonder what this girl did in the final battle to allow future generations to erect a statue in such a dangerous place and maintain it carefully."
Unexpectedly, the people who answered Gaia this time were actually the demon twins who hated reading according to Penk:
"that is because……"
"Mia paid the price with her life in the end,"
"Destroyed the goblin lair,"
"Not only did the Goblin King and all the lords present die,"
"And it also led to the collapse of the ranch,"
"Laid a decisive foundation for victory."
oh?
Unexpectedly, Miramichi knew the girl knight so well, so Gaia took a closer look at the statue in front of her.
Well, it doesn't have the characteristics of an abyssal species.
It seems that he is not a relative of Miramichi.
I thought about continuing to ask, but seeing the inexplicable sadness on the faces of the two little devils, Gaia retracted her question wisely.
Dora, who gently patted Miramichi on the shoulder and came behind them, was about to express some words of comfort, but was blocked by several savage and ferocious roars:
"Who! How dare you come to Gu's territory!?"
"This sound..."
Quickly preparing for the battle, not only Dora and Punk, but also the Demon Twins immediately adjusted their status. Even Spike got off the floating car, with a rare serious look on his face.
After the roaring sound that shook the trees, there was a pungent stench that made Gaia subconsciously shut down her sense of smell.
"Negative status resistance!"
Stretching out his staff in time, Spike gave a soft drink, and a light green halo suddenly appeared on Dora and others' bodies. They only frowned slightly at the stench that hit their faces, without any further reaction.
With a questioning look, he looked at Gaia, whose expression remained unchanged before he released the magic. After receiving a positive reply, Spike turned his head and continued to prepare for the battle:
"power enhanced!"
"Physical resistance is enhanced!"
"Aura of intimidation!"
As Spike shouted, various haloes of light appeared one after another on Dora, Punk and Miramichi, making Gaia watch with interest.
Just as Sibek completed the third preparatory magical operation, several huge and ugly creatures, three to four meters tall, with bloated bellies and rough yellow-green skin, and a pair of small eyes shining with greed and cruelty, emerged from the pit.
The edge came up step by step.
After seeing Dora and others in front of them, who were facing the enemy, the blue ogre led by the leader immediately let out a deafening roar again, and the powerful sound waves caused the leaves of the surrounding trees to fall one after another.
"Dragonborn! This is Gu's territory! Since you dare to break in, you will directly deliver meals to Gu and his men! But Gu is kind and allows you to pick out the ones with the most meat and keep the rest.
You can try to escape before Gu finishes eating!"
Waving a stick crudely made from a tree in his hand, Gu, who was much larger than the other ogres, pointed at Dora at the front, laughed wildly and gave his proposal.
"Tsk, I'm sorry, we don't have the habit of leaving our companions behind."
Clenching her fists with both hands, Dora tilted her head slightly. After receiving Punk's "You can give him a try" look in reply, she exposed her fangs and pushed back the giant ogre's proposal without showing any signs of weakness.
"Dragonborn, you have courage! What is your name?"
Smashing the thick stick in his hand to the ground with a bang, the ogre Gu roared and asked Dora as the earth shook.
"Dora. Dora Elfsheed Tiamat."
Red light slowly rose on the fist, and Dora's eyes also flashed with a fierce red light.
"Ha! Gu thought he was a warrior, but he didn't expect his name to be so long. Then you should be the first to die!"
Ridiculing the opponent in front of him, Gu waved the stick in his hand without any care.
In his opinion, the dragonborn in front of him could not withstand a stick that was several times bigger than him and was as big as a hill. He would definitely be crushed into a pulp.
Unfortunately, the minced meat is very troublesome to eat.
Just when Gu was feeling regretful, Dora's petite paws collided with the huge tree, and a scene appeared that made Gu's eyes almost fall out.
He punched the mountain, but his fist was unscathed.
The mountain collapsed.
