Chapter 1019: Giant tribes
When the morning came, we just ignored the noble's offer to show us around the town and the surrounding area.
It seemed like he wanted to try and keep us here a bit longer, but he was terrified of the royal guards that were here.
If he were to try anything, all that would happen is that he would be dragged away by the royal guards.
The noble in charge of this town wasn't a fool, he knew that there was a new government being built up and it wouldn't be good to be on the bad side of the new ruler.
So we were able to leave early in the morning and head to the borders.
At the borders, the troops that were watching the Land of Giants didn't dare stop us since we were flying through on the backs of wyverns. There wasn't even a proper station to pass through since there was no relations with the giants in the first place.
The giants were one of the races that didn't have interactions with the human race, so there wasn't a need to build a station that would allow access between the two regions.
The only thing that was needed at the border of the Vikal Kingdom was a wall to watch for the attacks of the giants.
Though I was looking at the walls from above, I could tell that they were quite large since I had the comparison of the people that were on it. With how small they were when they stood on these walls, it was easy to estimate just how tall the walls were.
Seeing the wall lining the border, I really couldn't help thinking of a certain series from my past life that was quite popular.
It also had something to do with three walls and the giants that lived outside those walls attacking humans, though it wasn't the same as the current situation.
It really was a strange comparison to think of...but I focused my mind after being distracted for a few seconds after seeing this wall.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Once I was focused, I turned my attention to the land beneath us.
These were the lands that the giants lived in, this was the Land of Giants.
It was a land that was filled with forests as far as the eyes could see.
With how overgrown the forest under us was, it was almost as if this was a land that was untouched by humans. Though in a sense, that really was the best way to describe the land that was under us since it was the territory of the giants.
Giants didn't have the same level of civilization as humans because of their long lifespans and low population, so they still lived in tribes. These tribes were what we were looking for.
In the game, the tribes were randomly distributed across the map, so there was no clue from the game that would tell me where the giants were. The only thing that we could do was rely on our ability to fly to survey the forest that was under us until we found one of the giant tribes.
The giants didn't really have a governing structure among them either.
Even though they were in tribes, there was little interaction between the different tribes of giants since they didn't need to interact with each other as much.
The only time that the giants interacted with each other was when they needed something from each other.
In those cases, several tribes would come together to create a market where they would trade with each other.
Other than that, there was really no structure of governing when it came to the giants.
So there was no way to convince one ruler to make the giants friendly to the humans.
The only thing that we could do was convince the tribes one by one until most of them were friendly to humans. Once that happened, there shouldn't be anything to worry about when it came to this Land of Giants.
Only it was hard to convince them one by one like that.
The best way to convince them was the market that the giants gathered together.
This was also what had been in the game.
The way to befriend the giants was to offer them goods that they wanted at the market and slowly raise their affection until one was able to befriend them. When that time came, there were even giant women that could be wooed.
Though to actually have sex with those giant women, one would need a special potion that would turn one into a giant temporarily.
It was a potion that was quite hard to find at first, but later on it was easy to obtain regularly once one found the supplier.
That was just how the game was designed since the developers didn't want players to constantly go through a hard grind for a function that they unlocked.
After flying around for a bit, Shaka suddenly said, "It seems like there's some smoke coming from over there."
All of us looked in the direction that he was pointing in, but we really didn't see the smoke that he was talking about. Still, I trusted Shaka and had the rest of the wyverns fly in the direction that he was pointing in.
It was only after we flew in that direction for a bit that we finally saw what he was referring to.
It was faint, but there was indeed smoke that was coming from a spot in the forest.
I couldn't help looking at Shaka and asking, "How good are your eyes that you were able to see the smoke from this far away?"
He just looked at me with a smile without saying anything.
I shook my head and said with a sigh, "Let's get closer and see if it's what we're looking for. If it is, then we'll land and talk to them."
Everyone had a tense look on their faces after hearing this, but no one objected to this.
