Chapter 47 Giant King
Chapter 47 Giant King
"Is this why you're bald?"
Oliya, oblivious to the three people's gazes, asked Altai curiously.
"Yes, little guy, most of us giants don't have hair. The ones who do are mostly people whose bodies aren't strong enough."
Altai responded calmly, surprisingly not getting angry about it.
At this moment, Undine secretly connected to Olya's soul channel, which was directly supplied with magic by Caesar and was unaffected by the anti-magic stone.
"Oliya, what are you doing?"
"I'm touching Altai."
Do you know who he is?
"..." Olya noticed something was off about Undine's tone. After meeting the strange looks of the three, she looked up at the honest-looking Altai and asked.
"Altai, are you very famous?"
"I have no name, but my bloodline is famous. I am royalty among pure-blooded giants," Altai explained calmly, without any arrogance in his tone.
"Royalty? Then you must be incredibly powerful!"
Oliya was surprised. She knew about the reputation of pure-blooded giants, which were even rarer than dragons.
"I'm not that great..." Altai said dejectedly, "I have the lowest potential among all the royal family members. I can't even beat a dragon of the same level. I'm also not tall enough. Other giants are almost four meters tall, while I'm just a three-meter bean sprout."
"It's alright, Altai. You're already very capable. At least you can fight dragons, right? If I were up there, I would have been blown away by the dragon long ago. Besides, times are about to change..."
Oliya comforted him, unconsciously tiptoeing to touch the giant's scalp.
Just then, the giant bent over, looking dejected, and Olya took the opportunity to touch him, comforting the giant who could fight dragons like she was petting a cat.
The three people traveling with her were dumbfounded, their mouths agape, wide enough to fit an egg.
What a bizarre scene this is: weak humans comforting a powerful giant, telling it not to be discouraged by its weakness? And the giant, just like a child, accepts this comfort.
Before the three could process this absurd scene, Olya continued to utter startling remarks.
"Hey Altai, do you want to join my adventurer's party? With you, we'll have four people: a warrior, an archer, a mage, you'll be the tank, and if we find a healer, we'll be perfect!"
"An adventurer's group? I'm afraid that won't work. You're too small." Altai shook his head in refusal, and casually shook off Oliya's soft hand.
"Although I'm a bit weak, according to tradition, I can only join the Hero's Squad, but they won't accept me. I'm too weak."
"However, I will not give up. I swear in the name of the heavens that one day, I will make the hero's team come to me begging to join."
"I'm already begging you," Olya said, pouting.
Altai was puzzled, thinking the little guy hadn't heard him clearly, so he raised his voice slightly and said, "Little guy, I said the Brave Squad is begging me."
"You bastard, I'm the captain of the Hero Squad!"
Oliya shouted back, her face turning red with anger.
"You're the captain of the hero's squad, are you the saintess?" Altai's doubts deepened. "But how can you be so...weak?"
"Ahem, let me explain."
Undine stepped forward and began to explain, "Actually, we haven't officially formed the Hero Squad yet..."
Altai quickly learned the whole story.
"I see. If what you're saying is true, then I'll join you."
Altai, looking somewhat excited, added, "As a welcome gift, I'll take you two to open a treasure chest!"
"Although I'm only level 29, I'll do my best to help you get that treasure chest."
Altai was still somewhat confident, believing that at his level, there were no creatures in dungeons with a level cap of 50 that could suppress him.
A mere twenty-one-level difference is hardly a hopeless gap for a legendary creature.
Even with his magic power banned, Altai was confident he could conquer this region.
Pure-blooded giants are a race that fights with their bare hands; magic is merely an added bonus for them, and banning magic has little impact on them.
"Very good, Altai, I look forward to you joining my adventure party."
Oria was equally unceremonious, displaying the demeanor of a big sister.
The Engels brothers exchanged a glance and whispered to Undine, "Is she always this confident?"
"Could it be that the Ston family is actually of royal blood, but needs to hide their identity for some reason?"
Undine did not answer the two of them; instead, she contacted Caesar again.
"Boss, what do you think about Altai joining the adventurer's group?"
"That's fine," Caesar said, having no objections.
"Although we signed a slave contract, it was only a last resort for my safety."
"As long as you can complete my task, I will not interfere with your choices and daily life. I am actually quite looking forward to seeing if you can give me a little surprise."
Undine breathed a sigh of relief; the biggest cloud in her heart had dissipated, and she said cheerfully,
"Boss, could you bring up Altai's control panel?"
