On the desert island, in the face of Lin Tuo's questioning, the leader of the sea clan team who called himself "Peya" immediately explained.

Things are also very simple.

According to Peya, the Sea Clan has lived in this stormy sea for generations, and the entire vast sea area is their home.

However, with the gradual expansion of human footprints, the living range of the sea tribe has gradually shifted from the vicinity of the "Nine Dalian Islands" in the central area of the two continents to the depths.

On weekdays, you will occasionally encounter humans.

However, due to the inability to communicate, in the early years, after attempting and failing to make contact, the sea tribes gradually instinctively avoided humans, and the understanding between the two races was limited to the "legend" stage.

Compared to the chaos of human society, the life of the Sea Tribes is many times simpler and monotonous.

The entire race, each individual, from birth, will master the "racial talent", similar to the ability of wizards.

It's just that the abilities of the Sea Clan are exceptionally unified, and compared to the complex and changeable abilities of the wizards, each Sea Clan has almost the same talent.

That's "water elemental magic".

You can change the form of the water element at will to achieve all kinds of wonderful effects.

These bubbles on the ground are one of them.

Because of this bug ability, the Sea Clan has no natural predators, and its daily life is to find food, bask in the sun, and explore the ocean to collect interesting items.

However, they also have problems.

The biggest problem is the annual "food crisis".

According to Peya, once spring arrives, a species of fish that breeds wildly as the largest source of food for the sea tribes migrates to the mainland.

Well, it can be understood as a seasonal migratory behavior similar to that of "migratory birds".

The migration of these fish can lead to a food crisis for the entire sea tribe for 2-3 months, and they generally stock up on food in advance to survive this period.

However, due to some accidents last season, the entire population has a serious shortage of food reserves, and it is foreseeable that everyone may go hungry in the next few months.

It is customary to hold a "begging sacrifice" every time this happens, offering to the gods and praying for food, and in the legend of the Sea Clan, the gods love humans.

Therefore, in order to please the gods, the sea tribes would collect as many creations related to humans as possible as sacrifices during each sacrifice.

The team led by Peya was one of the many teams sent out to collect sacrificial materials.

……

"Dear human wizard, we also stumbled upon the books piled up on this island, and at first, we didn't dare to move, but after observing for a while, we didn't see any human beings around, so we ...... So ......"

Speaking of which, the Sea Clan named Peya was visibly embarrassed.

"Is that so...... Lin Tuo's eyes were revealed, and he stopped intimidating them and smiled, "It seems that it is really a misunderstanding." ”

"Yes! Yes! A group of sea clan chicks nodded like a peck, and the frantically flapping tails stopped.

As if to show their sincerity, they also waved their hands at the same time, as if sensing something, and in an instant, the round blisters disintegrated into water droplets, meaning that the things returned to their original owners.

Originally, the matter could end here, but Lin Tuo thought about it, but he didn't let them go, but said slowly:

"Speaking of which, this is the first time I've visited the depths of the Storm Sea, and I'm a little curious, especially for you, this is the first time I've learned about the festival of 'Begging Sacrifice'.

Can you elaborate on it, is it possible, can you really get food by sacrificing to the gods? ”

On the one hand, this is out of curiosity.

In addition, because of the "nightmare", Lin Tuo is now more sensitive to these things involving "gods".

"Ah, speaking of which...... Actually, it's not very spiritual," seeing that the misunderstanding was resolved, Peya's expression was much more relaxed, and he explained seriously, "This festival originates from a legend of my clan.

It is said that thousands of years ago, when the people were in a state of confusion, food would fall from the sky at a fixed time every day...... It was a gift from the gods to protect our weak ancestors. ”

"However, I have participated many times, but they are not very spiritual, and some old people say that it is because the eyes of the gods have left, and the small sea tribe cannot attract his attention......"

Speaking of this, Peya's face also became lower, and her two wing-like ears also drooped softly.

Opposite the "......", Lin Tuo listened to this, and his emotions were a little complicated.

However, the depressed expression only lasted for a few seconds, and Pea regained her excitement:

"But this year is very different."

"Oh? Why? Lin Tuo said curiously.

"Because just yesterday we heard the voice of the god again, and although we don't understand what he said, it at least proves that he has not really left. ”

"Originally, the begging festival was supposed to take place in a few more days, but the patriarch said that it was a rare opportunity for thousands of years.

Taking advantage of the gods' gaze on this world once again, perhaps, this begging sacrifice can attract His attention...... That's why we came out so urgently to collect the offerings. ”

No wonder...... It turned out to be its own pot.

That is to say, how could it be so coincidental, just choose a day to come in, and then hit the festival, when the No. 1 sandbox came to catch up with the god sacrifice ceremony, this time when I came to the sea, I ran into the "begging sacrifice" again.

It turned out that the date of the event was changed temporarily.

Well, it's all coming, isn't it not appropriate to be empty-handed...... Would you like to give them a hand?

Turning these thoughts, Lin Tuo looked at the Sea Clan Peiya with a fighting spirit and expectation, and said with a smile:

"It's interesting to know, I wonder when the begging festival is held? Can I observe? ”

"Absolutely! The patriarch loves human knowledge, and it would be nice to know that there is a powerful wizard who can talk to us at the festival. ”

Peya excitedly said: "The festival will be held at noon tomorrow, at a nearby sea, if it is convenient for you, you can go underwater with us and watch the ceremony in advance." ”

"No, I still have some things to deal with, so I won't bother.

However, I am really interested in the begging festival, and I will be staying on this island until tomorrow, and if it is convenient, can I ask you to lead the way tomorrow morning? ”

Lin Tuo smiled.

As for the launch...... Enter the colony of these sea tribes...... Forget it.

Although I am indeed curious about the degree of development of their civilization, the problem is that Lin Tuo does not know water...... You can't put on a wetsuit and carry an oxygen cylinder, right?

Well, maybe these sea tribes will have a way, but this will also increase the danger, even if these lives seem harmless to humans and animals, but they should not be taken lightly.

Once under the water, when encountering danger, the body has no time to rescue.

Therefore, for the sake of prudence, Lin Tuo still politely refused.

"That's right! The Patriarch will welcome you, huh...... If there is an accident, I will let you know tomorrow. ”

Peya happily agreed at first, but then reacted and added.

After saying that, the two sides said goodbye to each other, and the sea clan team flicked its tail, swam across the beach, plopped and jumped into the sea, and quickly disappeared.

……

"Huhuhu......"

Seeing the other party leave, Lin Tuo was finally the only one left on this desolate island.

The salty sea breeze blows from afar, and the waves crash against the sand.

Lin Tuo walked away for a while, and then put this matter behind him for the time being, if the sacrifice is held tomorrow, there is still plenty of time.

Compared with...... He silently gathered the bags and boxes of books on the ground together, and then dragged a warm and round stone and sat down.

"Well, let's concentrate on sorting out the books and let me see them...... What was the first book to be drawn......"

Muttering, Lin Tuo's fingers flexibly opened the clasp of the wooden box at his feet, looked at the slightly messy thick-skinned books, and took out one at random:
