Chapter 1140: Elders of the giant race
This was a place that was at the center of the Valley of Origin.
It was a large tree that had a door carved into it.
The door didn't seem that large or grand when it came to giants, but when it was in front of a human like me...
It was a very large door.
But it opened quite easily as Elder Ogrin just simply pushed on it and it opened.
What was revealed was a large room inside of the trunk of the tree.
This was a simple looking room that didn't seem to have any decorations at all. The only thing that was in this room were mats for the elderly giants to sit on.
They were all sitting there with their eyes closed as if they were meditating.
That was the first thing that I saw when Joan walked into the room.
As if they sensed us, the giant elders suddenly opened their eyes to look in our direction. Or more specifically, all of the giant elders immediately looked in my direction.
With the way that they looked at me, it was clear that they were sizing me up.
I didn't back down from the looks that they gave me, which made them nod their heads in approval.
After a short silence, one of the elders said, "He's the human that the Origin Giant wanted to meet?"
Elder Ogrin gave a nod of acknowledgement before saying, "Before that, let's have a talk with him. I'm sure that he has some questions for us."
The other giant elders nodded in agreement to this before turning back to look at me.
With the way that they looked at me, it was as if they were waiting for me to ask them something.
However, there was no way that I would be able to ask them anything with what they just said.
All I could do was look at Olos and Olmir, but I saw that the two of them had the same stunned expression on their faces.
We were all stunned because of what the elder had said.
We were stunned because the elder had said that it was the Origin Giant that had summoned
me.
The Origin Giant was considered a myth in the lore of the giants.
It was the first giant to appear in this world and the one that all of the other giants were descended from.
This had put the Origin Giant on the same level as the other gods in this world.
At the same time, it also made people wonder if the Origin Giant was even real with how many rumours surrounded the Origin Giant.
But now, they had confirmed that it was real and that the Origin Giant was even in contact with the elders to the point where it could summon me.
However, if the Origin Giant was the one that was summoning me, then this was much more complicated than it seemed.
For the Origin Giant to go as far as to summon me...
It was just that before that, it seemed like the giant elders still wanted to talk to me.
"So this is the human that Lord Origin Giant summoned."
One of the elders suddenly said this, to which all of the other elders slightly narrowed their brows.
The way that the elder said this was as if he had something against me.
But when I looked at him, it didn't seem like that was the case.
Rather than having a hostile look on his face, it seemed like he had a curious look.
It was almost as if he wanted to know more about me.
Instead of answering the doubts that he had, I just simply said, "I don't know why I've been summoned either."
To my surprise, all of the giant elders seemed surprised to hear this.
With the way that they reacted, it was almost as if they had expected me to know exactly why I had been called here by the Origin Giant.
"Do you really not know why?" Another one of the elders asked in a slow voice, almost as if they wanted to confirm this.
I just gave a simple nod in response.
Once the elders heard this, they all had strange looks on their faces.
After all, they had been commanded by the Origin Giant to bring this person here and they had been told that it was of the utmost importance. But if this human didn't even know the Origin Giant, then why would their Lord Origin Giant act this way?
It just didn't make any sense at all.
In the end, Elder Ogrin said with a sigh, "It doesn't matter why you've been summoned here, does it? In the end, it was Lord Origin Giant that called you here and that's all that matters." After he said this, the expressions of the other elders relaxed and they nodded in agreement to this.
After all, it was impossible for them to understand what the Origin Giant was thinking.
All they had to do was follow the order that the Origin Giant gave them.
At that, they all suddenly turned to look in a certain direction.
When I followed their gaze, I saw that there was another door that was here.
I hadn't noticed this since it was a door that blended into the wall and I had been focused on
the giant elders, but this was the only other door in this room.
As for where it led, I had no idea at all.
Though I did have an idea of what this door was.
After turning to look at it, Elder Ogrin said, "Lord Origin Giant is waiting for you behind that
door."
"The Origin Giant is still alive?" I asked in a shocked voice.
There were strange smiles that appeared on all of their faces when they heard this before
Elder Ogrin said, "Not exactly."
Then in a mysterious voice, he added, "You'll see what we mean when you go in."
I had my doubts, but I still had Joan head towards the door that they pointed me towards.
