Chapter 2002 Dragon Vein Totem
The forger, who had been invited to the Gianthoof Clan, immediately spotted the grayed-out Blaze. After hesitating for a moment, he remembered that Blaze had contacted him first, so he went up to greet him.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, just a bit of social death."

"For example?"

"I proposed to the Olympia Competitions Committee that bikinis be mandatory for the event, and this is the reply." Blazer glanced at the letter in his hand, which only had one word on it: "Good."

Because there was only one word, there was so much room for imagination that he didn't dare to go see Herbie for the time being.

"Hiss—" The forger gasped and subconsciously gave Blazer a thumbs up.

As a minor, he was deeply impressed by Blaze's courage and also understood why Blaze had turned gray.

"It's okay, you have a great face, so even if you bring this up, no one will think you're creepy. Besides, according to the formula of romantic comedies, the other person will not only realize that this is not what you really wanted, but will also pretend not to know and deliberately cooperate."

"is it?"

Blazer turned his head and chuckled silently. To be honest, he had given up entirely, and any chance of a turnaround at this point felt more like adding insult to injury.

"Whoo~"

Blazer took a deep breath, patted his face, and figured that since the deed was done, there was no point in dwelling on it anymore. He might as well put it aside and move on to the next thing.

"I have something I'd like to ask you. Come with me."

Blazer led the way, bringing the forger to the priest's house, to Lottie's presence.

This time, Lottie didn't lie lazily on the table. Instead, she sat upright in her chair, wearing thick reading glasses.

On the table were scrolls of maps of the orcish territory, from the oldest to the latest.

"Hmm, it looks like something interesting is going to happen."

The forger didn't ask any questions. He went straight to the table, opened the map, and the charcoal marks on it made him guess that it was related to totem equipment.

"The Great Beast God Kit? But it doesn't seem to be that simple." The forger tapped on the area marked on the edge of the orc territory on the latest version of the map.

“I understand now. You believe there are still unmanifested totem incarnations, and you want to find out and summon them, right?”

“That’s right.” Blazer told the forger about his and Lottie’s thoughts, especially about the signs of merging that appeared because the clans living in them were becoming part of the larger clans.

The Great Beast God Set may continue to emerge in another 500 years due to earth-shattering changes, but these peripheral items, which are suspected to be additional equipment of the Great Beast God Set, such as totem equipment like weapons, are likely only available now.

The fact that no totem incarnations were born in the territories of these mixed clans during the upheaval is the best proof of this.

"I see. You think I can find their G-spot and make them erupt from the earth, right?" The forger, with a serious expression, rested his hands on the table and said something quite remarkable while looking at the map.

Fortunately, Blaze was already used to it, and Lottie, being a rather open-minded orc, had no objections.

"So you came to me because you have some ideas about it, right?"

“That’s right. We believe that the totem incarnations are not that they haven’t been born, but rather that the totem itself has become connected with other totems, and is in a state of being born yet not being born, that is, a dormant state.” “The key is how to find them.”

Blazer stacked the rubbings of the maps together and placed them under the light.

"Totems are not static. Wars between clans and races can cause totems to change. The totems in the territories of the four major clans today have accumulated over thousands of years to become what they are today."

"But there is something that remains unchanged, and that is the idea of ​​becoming a whole."

"This idea, or rather, this aspiration, led to the birth of the hybrid clan, the birth of the Great Beast God, and the connection of the Great Beast God's totem equipment."

"Then the earth will surely record this yearning, and it will become a [totem] on this land that will never change no matter how much time passes."

Dozens of maps were stacked together, and under the light, the messy map lines highlighted the incredibly thick mountain ranges.

Those mountain ranges have existed for thousands of years and still exist today. Most importantly, these mountain ranges pass through the territory of every powerful clan, and any territory of a mixed clan is traversed by them.

It appears as if these mountains connect the mixed clans, making them a unified whole.

“We found this, but we can’t understand what these mountains and lines represent; they don’t form a complete shape.”

Blazer sighed helplessly. He had found the answer, but he couldn't understand it. He just instinctively felt that the forger might understand it.

"Ah."

The forger squinted, practically lying face down on the table, his eyes glued to the map.

"This is... a dragon vein?"

"Dragon Veins?"

"It's a special geographical feature in Feng Shui, a continuous mountain range that resembles a dragon. The dragon is the geographical vein, the soil is the dragon's flesh, the stone is the dragon's bone, and the vegetation is the dragon's hair. In short, the dragon vein is very important, extremely important. You can even attack a region by simply cutting off the dragon vein." The forger straightened up and stared intently at the dragon vein on the map.

He was talking to himself rather than explaining to Blazer and Lottie.

"If I remember correctly, the orcs' initial creation of a unified thought was not due to the Great Beast God, but rather to the Ancient Dragon Princess and the High Prince."

"The dragon was the original god of the beastmen on this land, but it was ended due to various accidents. The huge dragon totem was thus shattered, but the unified thought brought by the ancient dragon princess and the supreme prince did not disappear. It still serves as the thread connecting the various totems."

"It remains clear and distinct even after thousands of years."

The forger exhaled deeply, closed his eyes with lingering satisfaction, wanting to immerse himself in the moment a little longer. Unfortunately, there were still people waiting for him to give his conclusion.

"【Totem】has never been limited to a single graphic. Lines with specific meanings are also a kind of totem, a totem called writing."

He opened his eyes, looked at Blazer, and said.

"A dragon slumbers on this land. That dragon is the truly important part of the Great Beast God Set, the spine that connects the limbs and torso."
