The troll claw was located in the northeast direction of the Bird Gate. It, the troll mountain to the west, and the troll roar forest were currently known as the breeding grounds of the three troll tribes.

Amongst the three places, the Giant Demon Claw was the smallest in area and the most dangerous in terrain. Because the troll tribes in these places had never appeared in the outside world on a large scale, harassing the human cities along the coast of Sword Bay, the nearby human kingdoms also allowed them to do as they pleased. They did not organize troops to encircle them in the mountains. At most, when some unruly trolls appeared scattered, they would organize teams of adventurers to clean them up.

Toril’s world was different from other alternate worlds. Regardless of whether it was Karatu in the east or Ferren Continent in the west, although humans occupied the dominant position, they had never truly ruled the entire continent.

The hundreds of races in this world had coexisted since ancient times. Even during the heyday of the Elves Race, the other intelligent races had their own places.

This was not because the human civilization developed in Toril World was not strong enough. Compared to the human federation that Kieran used to belong to, the magical civilization in Toril World was even stronger.

For example, the first great human empire that had appeared in ancient times-Nathaniel!

At that time, Nightingale used the scrolls discovered by humans as a foundation, and even developed a floating city that floated ten thousand meters high in the sky. Each color-resistant scroll was a large-scale compound magic forbidden spell. Based on the analysis of the scrolls, the Nightingale Empire developed a complete set of human magic systems apart from the Elves magic and the Dragon Language magic.

Just how powerful was a large-scale compound magic forbidden spell? The two forbidden curse catastrophes that had occurred in the Ferren Continent could be seen.

The first was the border war between Jonda and Elves. At that time, the Kingdom of Jonda was located in the center of the south of Ferren, and it was during the booming period of the empire. The two powerful kingdoms were almost suffocated by the power of one kingdom, overwhelming the kingdom of Shaya in the south and the kingdom of Tyser in the west.

Because Jonda needed a lot of natural resources during the development of the kingdom, the Jonda Forest in the kingdom was deforested and clashed with the Jonda Forest in Elves.

At that time, Ferren Continent on Elves was in the secluded stage. The human kingdoms on the continent no longer valued Elves who had only played house in the forest.

Unexpectedly, the furious Jonda Court finally activated a large-scale compound forbidden spell at the expense of the entire Elves Court’s Senior Elder Council in the latter part of the war.

In an instant, a flood engulfed the entire northern border of the Jondas Kingdom, forming the Weihong Sea, which was now connected to the Starfall Sea.

The other calamity caused by the forbidden spell was more distant. It was a typical case of the Elves Clan’s own death. It was later in the First Crown War, the civil war between Irivada and Myerita in Fairy Court.

Arivanda was ruled by the Golden Fairy, the current Sun Fairy, while Myerita was the Green Fairy-dominated Fairy Court. Maiyelita was also one of the four main branches of the elves-the Green Elves, the greatest and most well-inherited elven court since ancient times.

Even though Arivanda was the strongest Fairy Court at the time, Myerita was the center of art and high-level magic in Ferren, Elves. When a country’s military might was insufficient to protect its wealth, it would naturally receive the gazes of bandits.

The prosperity of Myerita brought disaster to him, and Irivada launched the first Crown War to occupy Myerita. Originally, Myerita still had the ability to resist in the early stages of the war, but their Fairy Court acted as if they were going to die, wishing to use a large-scale compound forbidden spell to directly destroy Arivanda’s army of Elves.

Unfortunately, they did not have the ability to control the violent magical elements. The next moment, the power of the forbidden spell turned the entire country, millions of square kilometers of forest, into a wilderness. This was the famous forbidden spell that was known as the Dark Calamity at that time.

Myerita had been completely destroyed, and this land, now known as the Utmost Wilderness, had not been restored to its original appearance. The green elves had lost their inheritance and their four branches had actually become three. In the end, the green elves had become the subordinates of the Moon Elves.

Even though Fairy Court suffered some changes in the later months, and the leader changed from Elves to Green Elves, they were still unable to obtain the inheritance. When the World Tree was renewed, Green Fairy Court would still decline, just like Jonda Fairy Court now.

From these two famous events, it could be seen that a large-scale compound forbidden spell was even more terrifying than a nuclear weapon. At the very least, Qin Lun’s human federation hadn’t developed a nuclear weapon that could directly destroy millions of square kilometers before Qin Lun entered the shattered starry sky.

When the Human Empire obtained the Scroll of Resistance, there were eighteen different types of compound forbidden spells! One could imagine how high their magical civilization had reached.

Compared to the current human kingdoms on the Ferren Continent, the magical civilization did not increase. On the contrary, after losing most of the Color Resistance Scrolls, it declined to varying degrees.

However, even at its peak, the Nassenaar Empire had never ruled over the entire Ferren Continent. Their borders were almost the Silvermoon Alliance of the Northern Lands, and included the northern part of the Enoch Desert.

The biology level of Ferren Continent was too high. The urban civilization developed by humans currently dominated the continent. However, the wilderness outside the city still belonged to all kinds of wild magical beasts that had reproduced from the ancient times until now.

The humans of Ferren Continent had already learned their lesson. In the absence of a life or death crisis, they would not provoke other intelligent races again.

Not only did this place include the Fairy Court, which still possessed powerful magic power, but also the well-equipped Dwarves in the Northern Mountain Region and the city of Zhuo’er in the Dark Region. It also included some small tribes. The Giant Demon Tribe, which occupied the Giant Demon’s Claw, was within this range.

The high-ranking shamans and chiefs of the troll tribe also understood this reasoning. For a long time, they had restrained their tribes and entered the dominion of human cities on a large scale. They followed an ancient tradition of living in dangerous mountainous areas where they never left their territories except for the annual sacrifice festival, which required a large number of living creatures.

Within a troll tribe that was only a few dozen kilometers away from Qin Lun and the others, the trolls were about to hold a large-scale sacrificial festival.

Their shamans and chiefs were very satisfied. Before the arrival of the sacrificial day, they had not only obtained a large number of sacrificial offerings from the swamp in the south, but they had also captured some unknown human sacrifices. They were truly extremely fortunate.

This time, there was no need to send any more warriors out of the mountains to attack the merchants. This kind of attack would often make some brave Giant Demon citizens fall under the butcher’s knife of a human adventurer. Humans were simply too terrifying!

This troll tribe occupied a small valley in the southwest of the mountain range, with a population of about 200 to 300. Unlike what the outsiders had imagined, they already had primitive civilizations, and a few wise people had even learned Ferren’s continental language.

Giants’ bloodline originated from ancient giants, and they were purer than their close cousins, ogres. Most adult trolls were over five meters tall, and their rough green skin had good physical and magical resistance.

The trolls had a low fertility rate, so they did not have a husband and wife system. Both males and females had several mates. As long as they are sexually interesting, they can mate freely, and their ethical values are very weak.

There was a tall fence on the outskirts of the village. At the same time, there were enclosures for Jurassic beasts in all directions. This was the main source of food for the trolls.

There were hundreds of tall houses in the village. These tall houses were made of thick coniferous trees and were very sturdy, enough to carry the troll’s weight.

The tall houses were evenly distributed around the village, and the core was the residence of the chiefs and shamans, who were of higher status in the clan. In the middle of the village was an open space with a semi-permanent barbecue grill. This was used by trolls for celebrations and gatherings.

At this time, in the northwest corner of the village, a bunch of chicken-cage-like bamboo baskets were hung on the horizontal bars between the two flagpoles. One could vaguely see a curled-up figure in each of the bamboo cages.

Compared to trolls, these skinny captives weren’t all humanoid creatures. Among them were the magical beasts Qin Lun and the others had seen in the Land of Death.

There were a few humanoids on the left side of the cages. Judging from their ragged clothes, they seemed to be humans or Elves. However, after being trapped for a long time, his spirit was somewhat dispirited and he lay in a cage, not knowing whether he would live or die.

“Easten, how are you?” In the left-most bamboo cage, a human woman suddenly shouted softly.

“Nothing, I can’t die!” In the bamboo cage next to her, a very tired voice came from the figure sitting cross-legged.

She was wrapped in a coarse cloak and her face was obscured by loose silver hair. Judging from her withered appearance, it was hard to believe that this was the natural Elves druid of the past.

“Have you recovered your magic power?” The human woman who first called Elistine was no better.

The leather armor on her body was almost unable to cover her body. Some of her exposed limbs were covered in thick blood tomatoes. Her originally gorgeous red hair had also lost its usual luster, and her bare feet were covered with blisters and stinking pustules. If it wasn’t for the trolls smearing some herbs on her a few days ago, she would have died a long time ago.

Of course, the trolls didn’t have any good intentions. They were just afraid that these living sacrifices would die before the arrival of the sacrificial day. Although dead creatures could still be eaten, they could no longer be sacrificed.

“It’s only 20% of what it used to be. Most of the magic power is being used to maintain the body’s functions.” Elistine sat motionlessly and whispered, “It’s still the energy of the moonlight. Otherwise, with my injuries, I would have died a week ago. I never thought that trolls would have such high intelligence.”

“Me too. If I hadn’t believed in Lady Lauvita, I would have been half dead long ago. And we had to take action. Although Mason was treated by the troll shaman, he was too old to withstand it now. He was unconscious last night and hasn’t woken up yet.” Idrea whispered.

“Wait a moment longer, wait until night!” Elistine whispered to himself, “These past two days, I seem to have a wonderful feeling. Although I don’t know where it came from, it makes me feel very comfortable, as if an empty corner of my heart has been filled.”
