Chapter 1128: Once again to the Land of Giants
"Thank you." Alidus said as we were about to head out.
Though I had a calm look on my face when I nodded in response, there was actually a bitter feeling that filled me.
The excuse that I gave him was that we were heading back to warn the giants about the invasion of the demon race.
Though the giants didn't care about the other races and kept to themselves, there was still an old grudge between them and the demons from the racial wars. The demons were one of the races that had attacked most other races in a bid for racial supremacy, so there were few races that actually liked the demons.
It was just that the demons were powerful and could control monsters, which was why the other races were wary of them and could never wipe them out.
When Alidus heard about the invasion of the demon race, he was naturally worried about the Land of Giants that was isolated from the rest of the world.
In reality, I was just using this as an excuse to see the rulers of the giant race.
These were the elders that governed over the giant race as a whole and usually didn't make an appearance unless something threatened the entire giant race.
A demon invasion was one of those things that could threaten them.
In this meeting with the elders, what I was looking for was information about the relics that the giant race might possess.
Unlike the other races that worshiped certain gods that were more common, what the giant race worshiped was the Origin Giant. It was the progenitor of the giant race and the one that protected the giant race to this day.
While I wasn't certain if this was similar to a god, it was still a good place to start.
The mermaids were too far away for now and the elves were hard to get close to.
As for the other races...well I hadn't even made a dent in getting closer to them and it would take too long to approach them.
So for now, the giants were the safest bet.
But there was a part of me that was also filled with complaints towards Solista.
That was because this was a group that we were familiar with.
It was Olmir and the hunters from the Harakka Tribe.
When they saw us, they immediately welcomed us when they found us, as if they had already been expecting us.
That was because they had been expecting us.
Alidus had brought a hawk with him when he left the Land of Giants that would bring letters back to the Harakka Tribe from time to time. He used that hawk to send a letter back to the Harakka Tribe, telling them that we would be arriving soon.
That was why Olmir and the hunters from the Harakka Tribe knew to be waiting for us.
They welcomed us and it seemed that the hunters from the Harakka Tribe were very happy to see Klein and the others again.
During the time that we had stayed in the Harakka Tribe, it seemed that they had left quite the impression on them. It seemed that the relationship between humans and giants had gotten closer without any of us realizing it.
Sometimes absence did make the heart grow fonder.
However, this was not the place for this.
"Let's head back to the Harakka Tribe. There's something that we want to talk to Chief Olos about." I said to Olmir.
Alidus gave a serious nod of agreement to this.
Olmir was surprised to hear this since he hadn't heard anything about this before.
I had made sure that Alidus didn't tell them anything in his letters since this was the kind of
thing that was better to hear in person.
It was the kind of news that one really needed to brace for.
So in the end, Olmir just gave a nod before leading the way to the Harakka Tribe.
