As the players arrived one after another, the frogman village gradually became crowded.
Under the dual constraints of Elina and the Great Elder, the frogmen could only watch those players wandering around in the village curiously. Occasionally, some players would die in the sea to hunt for treasure, but they were basically killed by sea beasts before they swam far. I got eaten...
If it wasn't for the harsh weather during the frost and fog season, and a thick layer of snow accumulated on the ground, maybe the players could even dig the tidal flats into archaeological relics, ensuring that not even a single crab could survive on the beach.
It's not that the frogmen have never seen living people, but the painting style of the players is obviously different from that of ordinary people.
As for why this group of guys are so happy to die and mess around, the frogmen dare not say or ask, and can only let them mess around.
In fact, if it wasn't for Xi Wei's foresight, after Vera and the others successfully formed an alliance with the frogmen, and made the frogmen a friendly army that is forbidden to attack, there might have been restless players who wanted to use these neutral units to try their knives .
Fortunately, when Princess Liya arrived, she quickly restrained the players' actions.
By being an active NPC in the last attack on the Evil Bone Church, and making a big appearance at the end, Her Royal Highness has gained the respect of many senior players, and most of the current homeless players are senior players. She taught the beginners step by step, and was quite convinced by the first batch of senior players, so the girl's words are still quite effective among the player group.
Comparing this point, Angra, who always manipulated the players, was about to cry and faint in the toilet: Obviously I came first, whether it was guiding the players or cultivating the players, I came first! Why the hell!
After the players became a little (accented) quieter, Princess Leia met the elder of the Frogmen under Edward's recommendation.
Well, in fact, many players have seen this unique frogman while wandering in the village, and even some daring players wanted to go up and touch the frog's head, but they were all beaten by Edward and the others. go out…
"Hello, Great Elder, I am Liya Kalande, the princess of Tierra."
After the old clerk who once worked part-time as an etiquette officer appeared, Princess Liya finally picked up a little bit of the aristocratic etiquette that she had forgotten. After meeting the great elder of the Frogmen, she took out what the Tierra royal family used to do when they faced alien leaders.
"Hello, Your Royal Highness. It's a great honor for you to come to this barren land." The elder frogman also said slowly: "There is really no hair here, it is a real barren land, hehehe... "
As if amused by his own bad joke, the elder frogman laughed cheerfully.
For this, Liya could only show an embarrassed but polite smile: "After all, this is a beach."
Then the Great Elder rambled about a lot of things, but most of them were meaningless information.
I always feel that if I let the old man (old frog?) go on like this, it will probably be dark outside.
So the girl could only ask straight to the point: "Although it's a bit presumptuous, I want to know why you would rather face a war with no chance of winning than leave this tidal flat?"
The lumpy beach in Gray Fjord is of great value to Secret Eyes, but this is based on the fact that there are commercial smuggling channels. Secret Eyes only intends to build a smuggling port here to increase the throughput of goods.
In addition to the geographical advantages, this tidal flat is theoretically worthless at all. There are no mineral deposits underground, and the mixture of saline-alkali land and sandy beach is not suitable for planting crops. Although the shallow sea fishery can barely pass the eye, as long as you are a little farther from the coast, there will be sea monsters. Occupy.
Just like what the Great Elder himself said, this place is just a worthless barren land.
So it is very strange that the frogmen still stay here even in the face of the invasion of the Secret Eye Society.
As far as she knows, the frogmen don't seem to be the kind of demi-humans with a strong rural complex. At the same time, because of their diving ability far surpassing that of humans, they can easily avoid the rounding up of the Secret Eye Society from the shallow sea bottom, and go to other places that are more Make your home on the bountiful coast.
According to the other party's answer, she can also better arrange tactics, such as relocating the frogmen to other places, leaving an empty village as an ambush site to ambush the Secret Eye Society, and if there is enough time, she can even create some fortifications and the trap comes...
The elder frogman was silent for a long time, and just when the girl thought it was not going to answer this question, it slowly said: "Little girl, do you know the 'Lord of Sea Dwelling'?"
"The Lord of the Sea Habitat?"
"Yes, that is the god that our frogmen believe in. Little human girl, have you ever heard of its name?"
Liya was taken aback by it's question. The girl carefully recalled the knowledge about gods in her mind, but after searching for a long time, she still couldn't think of a god named Lord of Sea Dwelling.
As one of the heirs who will inherit Tierra's rule in the future, Liya has learned a lot of necessary knowledge, including the part about gods: it is better to say that in this world where gods really exist, this can be regarded as the most important part of the content.
But even she had never heard of the name.
Although it's okay to pretend to have heard it and then make up what the other person said, but the girl doesn't intend to do such a thing.
"Sorry..." She apologized bluntly: "I have never heard of this name."
"It's normal if you don't know, because this god has not shown its miracles for nearly a thousand years, and some people even think that it has fallen in the last battle of gods!"
The elder said slowly.
This surprised Liya a little.
But she quickly came to her senses: Does this have anything to do with why she stayed behind in this tidal flat
"The reason why we have been staying in this land, even if the wind blows and the rain hits the shore, the reason why we have not left is very simple... Because long, long ago, our ancestors received an entrustment from the God of the Sea, as long as we stay On this land, if you keep your faith in the Lord of Sea Dwelling, then one day, that god will return and become the guiding light of our clan again... "
The Great Elder said: "In the past thousand years, we have suffered hardships and hardships without the favor of the gods, and the bullying and oppression of other church races, but we have never given up our faith for a day, firmly believing that the Lord will bring us a good life. So no matter how dangerous it is, How desperate, we will not retreat... because under our feet is the god!"
The girl took a breath, showed a respectful expression, and slightly saluted the other party.
She understands this feeling better than anyone else. When Tierra was destroyed, the God of Games couldn't react, and for a long time after the country was destroyed, these survivors were also bullied by various churches. Can huddle in sewers. But even so, the girl still firmly believed in the existence of the God of Games, and in the end, she really prayed to that god. From then on, the girl felt that her stagnant life started to work again...
However, compared to her short-lived perseverance in just a few years, the frogmen have passed on this belief from generation to generation for nearly a thousand years!
It's no wonder that no frogman escaped when faced with such a huge monster that the secret eye society was invincible to the frogmen. Compared with the belief that has been passed down for thousands of years, mere death can no longer deter them.
