"You've got your eye on the God of Giants statue from the Wakeda Tribe, haven't you?"
Before Wakeda could catch up, Yaoyao looked at Leo with Yaoyao smile.
Yaoyao knew that Leo was the kind of person who wouldn't do anything without a reason. If there wasn't anything that interested him, he would rather stay in the lab than come out.
Wakeda has already been completely won over by Leo and is no longer needed for Leo to brainwash or win them over.
Given that Leo had declined several invitations from Wakeda, his sudden change of heart and insistence on visiting now was the only plausible reason Yaoyao could think of.
"Hehe"
Leo smiled but remained silent.
Although he didn't speak, his smile spoke volumes; Yaoyao had guessed correctly.
If that simple statue were just lying on the ground, no one would give it a second glance, but ever since Leo learned that the statue could accommodate the consciousness of a level six God of Giants, he has been intrigued!
That's definitely a world-class treasure, and it might even be a remnant of a World Lord's body after his fall!
Only materials of the World Lord level can contain the consciousness of a Level 6 God of Giants; other materials simply cannot.
Only by personally experiencing the oppressive power of a Level 6 life form can one understand that even a sliver of that being's consciousness is beyond the capacity of ordinary materials to contain or absorb.
Even a tiny amount of high-concentration energy can instantly shatter ordinary materials.
Only those of the same world-class level can accommodate this!
Wakeda quickly caught up with his people and flew towards the tribe, chatting and laughing with Leo.
When Leo received an unprecedented welcome.
After learning that Leo had been in close contact with the God of Giants, the elderly, potentially dying giant priest stayed right next to Leo, as if he could sense the God of Giants' aura through Leo.
Most importantly, he truly sensed the aura of their god within Leo. Although it was extremely faint, it was unmistakably the aura of their god.
"I heard from Wakeda that life in your tribe is very hard. As a friend of the giants, I have brought you some gifts. Please don't be shy."
Under Yaoyao's puzzled gaze, Leo took out a wizard's ring from under his wizard's robe, and with a casual wave of his hand, a large amount of basic supplies appeared in the center of the tribe.
Yaoyao stared wide-eyed at the supplies that filled the entire tribe, from small pots and pans to large clothes and tools, and even a large pile of weapons and equipment that were clearly prepared for the giants, filling the already small tribe to the brim.
Judging from the size of these extra-large household items, they are clearly made specifically for giants.
Yaoyao was very puzzled. He was with Leo every day, so how come he didn't know when or when Leo had prepared these things?
But then I thought about it again. Since Leo had prepared these things a long time ago, it was clear that he had been planning to make the statue for more than just a day or two.
"How... how could I... receive this..."
The elderly priest, who could die at any moment, gripped his wooden staff with such force that Leo could hear the staff cracking under the strain.
He kept saying sorry, but his eyes seemed glued to the everyday items, and the tribal giant next to him couldn't pull him away even if he tried.
"I don't have the habit of taking back gifts I've given. If you don't accept them, it means you're looking down on me."
As Leo spoke, he stood up and turned to leave. He felt ashamed to stay there, having been looked down upon by the giant.
"Master Priest..."
Seeing that Leo, whom he had finally managed to invite, was about to leave, Wakeda was the first to object. He had already taken so much from Leo, so this little bit wouldn't make a difference. He would find a way to repay Leo in the future.
"Then we'll accept it without further ado."
The old priest's words instantly eased the atmosphere in the entire tribe. The little giants, seeing all the things they had never seen before, immediately pounced on them, wishing they had more hands to grab as many items as possible.
"These daily necessities aren't as valuable as the other gifts, but they're probably the most needed supplies for you. Let me explain how to use them."
Standing atop Benji's head, Yaoyao watched as Leo patiently explained the use of these everyday items to the giants one by one. She knew that Leo was determined to succeed this time.
Any reward you want to obtain depends on the cost you pay. The cost Leo is currently paying is Yaoyao has never seen before, which shows how determined Leo is.
Looking at those giants who regarded Leo as the greatest benefactor, Yaoyao could only sigh that these giants were really easy to fool, actually mistaking the worst big bad wolf for a kind old grandmother.
Yaoyao originally thought that Leo would propose exchanging the statues that very day, but Leo stayed there for a whole month without making the suggestion at all.
Every day, he either went hunting with Wakeda or waited by the waterfall for the fish to fall and be stunned by the rocks. He seemed to be enjoying himself, as if Leo had always been a member of this tribe.
On many occasions, Leo would also teach the tribal giants some basic knowledge, such as metallurgy and cooking.
Teach them how to make fishing nets to catch more fish, how to set traps to catch prey more easily, and how to use weapons and armor to improve their combat effectiveness.
Leo patiently recounted the details of daily life, and even taught the underage giants some wizarding script.
Such selfless dedication to teaching and imparting knowledge would make even the proudest giant bow his head before Leo.
At this moment, even Yaoyao was in a daze, as if she saw the brilliance of humanity in Leo.
They are the inheritors of advanced civilization, passing it on to primitive civilizations.
At this moment, Leo seemed to transform into a saint, the mentor of the giant race.
Of course, we should put aside Leo's personal feelings before making a decision.
That night, a grand bonfire party was held, and all the giants ate their fill, lying on the ground by the firelight gazing at the starry sky.
Without worries, without food concerns, and without external threats, this is probably the happiest moment for them.
Just then, Leo found Wakeda and the old priest.
"As the best friend of the giants, and also the best friend of Wakeda, I responsibly tell you that the times have changed. If you want to prosper, you must migrate your tribe to the location where the wizard army is now."
"That will be the location of a star portal in the future. Life forms traveling between different worlds will have to pass through there. You can imagine how important that location is."
"While the giant tribes haven't migrated there yet, you should migrate first. With me here, I'll choose the best locations for you."
"Before the wizarding army leaves, I will help you establish a basic territory, so that you can thrive even after we leave."
Seeing the silent old priest, Wakeda grew anxious. He had been traveling around and studying with Leo, making him one of the few giants among the giant race who had seen big scenes and possessed a certain level of sophistication.
He knew that Leo was right; it was a decision that would change the future of the entire tribe. Once they migrated there, relying on the shaman's remaining power and their prestige in war, they could completely annex some smaller tribes.
At that time, the tribe will enter a period of rapid development. Even if it cannot become the giant empire that Leo mentioned, it will certainly become a regional hegemon.
"This is the foundation of our tribe. If we abandon it, I fear we will incur the wrath of the great God of Giants."
Although the old priest lacked Wakeda's current knowledge, he could still discern the truth from falsehood in Leo's words; the tribe's development was also his wish.
During this time, through Leo's explanations, he also developed a basic understanding of the universe.
But this is my hometown after all.
"Hahaha, are you more familiar with the God of Giants Kampas, or Kampas I more familiar with God of Giants?" Leo suddenly laughed and asked rhetorically.
"... Of course it's you."
The old priest hesitated for a moment before giving this embarrassing answer. As a priest of the giant race, he was actually less on good terms with an outsider than with his own god; this was his dereliction of duty.
"To tell you the truth, what I'm saying today was sent to you privately by His Excellency the God of Giants, Kampas. After all, you are his direct descendants, and no one dares to say anything if I'm trying to secure some benefits for you."
"It's inconvenient for the great God of Giants to appear in person, as it would be unfair to the other giants, so he sent me."
Leo recalled the speculations of the Stigmata Wizard, who guessed that the Wakeda Tribe were descendants of the God of Giants; otherwise, the Wakeda wouldn't possess even a fraction of the God of Giants's innate abilities.
Leo bets that once these giants hear that these are the private intentions of the God of Giants, their sense of honor will instantly surge. For them, there is no better encouragement than being recognized by their own god.
As for whether they would go to the God of Giants to verify the authenticity of the information, Leo bet they wouldn't dare.
"Waaah, I never expected the great God of Giants to tell you something like this. It seems the great God of Giants hasn't forgotten us."
The old priest actually cried.
"Priest, is what Wizard Leo said... true?"
Wakeda stared at Leo with eyes bigger than a bull's, unable to believe what he was hearing. Turning around, he saw the priests weeping bitterly. They were actually direct descendants of the God of Giants?
His panting was like that of an old ox, his muscles bulging; Wakeda was momentarily stunned.
It feels like you're begging on the street when a convoy of luxury cars arrives and says you're the heir to the throne, the crown prince, and now you need to go back and inherit billions of dollars.
