Chapter 250: Be More Confident

“When the other brothers and sisters had just learned how to fight, you had already learned how to wield swords and guns like your parents.
“Your talent was constantly being fulfilled. You learned to hunt when you were very young, and you were born with a talent in the Path of Slaughter.
“Your brothers and sisters were still bullying the fungi people, but you could already fight the underground lizards.
“When you were older, even adult gnolls would not be able to defeat you.
“Your parents were very happy. They were proud of you and started to listen to your opinions more.
“Your brothers and sisters also surrounded you. Gradually, your family became a force that cannot be ignored in the gnoll Tribe.
“Just like that, everything developed smoothly.
“A few years later, you would become the leader of that tribe, the supreme ruler of the small gnoll society.
“All the gnolls must obey your orders.
“The power in your hands made you feel satisfied.
“But after that?
“You would find that from the moment you were born until you became the leader of the tribe, you only learned how to hunt and fight.
“No one in this tribe can teach you higher-level knowledge.
“Even the older elders would only teach you how to distinguish herbs and how to heal wounds. At most, they would teach you a secret recipe to have more children.
“There was nothing else.
“Magic’ r
“Impossible, that was a talent that only gnoll Sorcerers were qualified to touch.
“On a certain day.
“An evil presence has descended upon your tribe.
“In the face of the evil shadow, you only have two options: submit or be killed.
“You chose to obey.
“The evil being was very satisfied and bestowed his blessing.
“And so, you suddenly became a powerful Evil Art Master. You obtained supernatural power, the magical power that you dreamed of.
“At this moment, you suddenly realized that magic was so simple!
“However, no one could remind you that magic also had its own techniques and intricacies.
“And to control these extraordinary powers required even more knowledge.
“If there were no fortuitous encounters, then you would never be able to come into contact with this information in your entire life.
“You could only rely on your own comprehension and experience to repeatedly explore and eventually form your own magic system.
“This system was like a small broken house compared to the regular spellcasting system, while the latter was a fortress with a solid foundation.
“But you wouldn’t know that.
“You were very proud.
“You thought you were invincible.
“With this magical power, you began to make a name for yourself in the Underdark. You began to come into contact with the society of other races, including human society.
“If you were lucky enough to live to a very, very old age, then you would indeed have the opportunity to make up for the disadvantages of your birth after coming into contact with human society and improve your cognitive level.
“Unfortunately, most gnolls did not have such an opportunity.
“Very quickly.
“The evil god who gave you power ordered the establishment of a powerful church. You would be the patriarch, commander, and vanguard of that church.
“You were ecstatic about this and felt that you were about to reach the peak of your life.
“But what you didn’t know was-
“When you led the allied forces recruited from the Underdark and left the tribe, the last glance you had of your home may be the last.
“When you passed through the long gravel tunnel, choked by the light from the surface and shed tears, you were extremely excited. You didn’t know what kind of enemy you were about to face.
“In other words, you were not facing a specific enemy.
“It was the entire human civilization.
“Even if you were lucky enough to encounter some small villages on the surface, you would encounter well-trained cavalry, fully armed warriors, and generals who were proficient in tactics.
“There were also Great Mages who had undergone the systematic education of the Seven Saint Alliance.
“They had magic power that is not inferior to yours, as well as overwhelming casting techniques.
“Now, do you think you still have a chance of winning? “Do you think you can do better than Anderson?
“The answer was, of course, no.
“Even if it were me, if I were reincarnated into a gnoll with my current cognitive level, my final outcome would probably be similar.”
After listening to this long conversation.
The living room was silent for a long time.
Sif nodded, not fully understanding.
“I think I can understand a little.”
Rheagar was no longer sloppy. His eyes flickered as he looked at Matthew.
Lara was deep in thought.
Matthew took a sip of water and said gently,
“The story of the gnolls is just a microcosm. In fact, many people in the evil camp are not born evil.
“Their birth determined that they lacked choices, and it was also their birth that determined that they did not have the opportunity to obtain higher-level Imowledge.
“The knowledge here did not only refer to spells. Spells were only a part of Imowledge. They were very useful, but not omnipotent.
“Personally, these uneducated enemies who control great power are not scary at all.
“Because even if they did evil, it would be very difficult for them to really achieve anything.” “I understand!”
Sif’s eyes suddenly lit up.
‘ No wonder, in history, the great devils who can cause great destruction are usually not born in the evil camp. Except for those who are born with supernatural power, most of the devils who have become devils through their own efforts have received a good education and have worked in a large organization of the righteous side!
‘ Some of them are mages who defected from the Alliance, some are scholars who delved into knowledge, some were once famous Paladins who had fallen, and there are also Great Druids who have been in close contact with nature for a long time but have fallen into the embrace of darkness…Therefore, these villains who came from a wealthy background and possessed knowledge were the most terrifying, right?”
