Chapter XVI: History That Must Not Be Mentioned

The Tears of the Gods, also known as the Tears of the Goddess, are said to have been formed by the tears of the goddess of hunting. At the beginning of the Third Age, as one of the main gods of the forest god system, Artemis, the goddess of hunting, and other gods of the forest god system joined forces to create an elf race, but because of her hunting priesthood, there was a fierce conflict with several main gods on the side of the life god system, so she ran away in anger, left the forest and entered the swamp, and created the lizardmen race alone. Although the two sides were reconciled with the harmony of the earth goddess Denya, the lizardfolk had been created and occupied a place on the earth, so Artemis had two children of her own, the elves and the lizardmen.

Since Artemis is said to be a lizardman created next to the Tears of the Gods, the lizardmen who worship Artemis regard the Tears of the Gods as the birthplace and sacred place of their own race, and many lizardmen come here every year to express their devotion to the gods. However, the lizardmen are not like the orcs, the orcs are used to regard the blockade of the holy land as a forbidden place, and only the clergy and people of high status can enter the pilgrimage, while the lizardmen are different, the lizardmen believe that the tears of the lake gods are a gift from the goddess to the swamp, and no one has the right to monopolize them, so the holy land is open to all living beings, as long as there is no blasphemy, anyone can enter around the tears of the gods and enjoy the grace of the gods, and even several tribes have settled around the lake, and a large part of the food source is obtained by fishing in the lake.

"Thank you, Goddess, for giving us life. "The tears of the gods in the early morning, the mist wafting in the lake, the faint sweet fragrance in the air, the frog chirping that had lasted all night gradually stopped, but the birds and beasts hidden in the swamp and trees began to chirp for a day again. On the reeds by the lake, there are large drops of dew, and the clear dew reflects the sunlight and exudes seven colors of brilliance. The lizardman Galantis knelt by the lake, and with a reverent expression, he took a handful of lake water and sprinkled it above his head, and the lady bathed in the lake seemed to be bathed in the divine grace from Artemis, and recited a prayer of thanksgiving: "Thank you to the goddess for giving us endless food and water, may the goddess be glorious." Like lakes and swamps, we are always by my side. ”

No one else spoke, and although others did not believe in Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, they had to show the least respect to Artemis and would never rudely interrupt the prayers of a devout believer.

"Alright. Hiss, keep you waiting. After nearly ten minutes of prayer, Galantis jumped up from the shore of the lake and said happily, "But don't worry, start from here." You can get to our tribe today, hiss, just in time for dinner, hiss, the dinner made by my mother tastes the best. Hey, I've walked this road too many times, and I can definitely grasp the time very accurately, don't worry. ”

"That's good. Everyone had already packed their bags, Catherine nodded, but asked with some confusion, "The camp above." If the soil is not cleared, won't it affect the growth of the Suogu wood?"

"It's okay, hey, it's the most convenient way to camp. Galantis explained: "As soon as it rains, all the dirt on it will be washed away and hiss, and it will not have any effect. So we people who live in swamps, when we go out hunting, like to spend the night in this way, hissing. It's so convenient. ”

"Hiss, hiss. "A series of hissing sounds characteristic of lizardmen suddenly came from the surface of the lake, and a closer look can be seen. On the distant lake, in the faint mist, several small boats floated in the water, and the hissing sound came from the direction of the boats. From a common sense point of view, this hissing sound is a bass pitch and cannot be too high-pitched. It is impossible to transmit such a long distance, but the unique pronunciation of the lizardmen makes their unique language very penetrating, and it can spread a considerable distance even though the volume is not high. Hearing this series of hissing sounds, Galantis was full of joy, and his tail flicked like a windmill, and he also responded to a series of hissing sounds of different heights, and the two sides exchanged calls in a completely incomprehensible voice across the wide lake.

"What are they talking about?" the girls turned their eyes neatly to Pennis, and Lina, who was the most curious, took advantage of Galantis's attention to the communication, and asked in a low voice, "Can you translate?"

"Yes. Pannis nodded, and whispered to the curious gazes of the four girls and Eva's indifferent aim, "They're talking, hiss, hiss, and hiss, yes, and hiss." ”

"Stupid Pannith. Lina felt the blood vessels in her forehead jump violently, kicked Pannis, and said dissatisfiedly: "You did it on purpose, you know what I'm asking, and translate it into lingua franca." ”

"The problem is, I don't understand it either. Pannis smiled bitterly and said, "The language of the lizardmen is too racial, I tried to learn it, but I can't learn it at all, I can't even understand it, let alone speak it." Their language is even more difficult to understand than the ice crystals, and I'd rather have a tinkling conversation with the ice crystals than hiss. Ah, speaking of ice crystals, it seems that I forgot something again, hahahaha. ”

"I'll remember it for you. Catherine gave Pannis a blank look: "Even if you want to forget, I will remind you to send wine to the ice crystals, if you forget them again this time, I guess they will hate you to death." ”

"That's an uncle from a nearby tribe. Seeing the boats on the lake getting closer and closer, Galantis turned back and said, "I used to see them fishing on the lake, hissing, and I used to make trouble for him a few times when I was a child, hehe, but he used to like me, and when I and other people came to play, they would stuff us with a few fish for dinner." ”

As he spoke, one of the boats got closer and closer, and from a distance, he could see from a distance that an old lizardman with snow-white scales was propping up the boat with a rope pole, waving to this side, and it was still far away, and the old lizardman shouted in an awkward lingua franca: "The children of the high priest's family, this time I actually brought a few human friends to play, hiss, this one seems to have seen it before." ”

"Ha, ha, ha, haven't seen it. Pannis laughed dryly, shook his head vigorously, and said, "Absolutely not." ”

"Hahaha, hiss, I remembered. The old lizardman suddenly burst into laughter, pointed at Pannis, and said: "I remember you, you are the human who was dragged into the water by the fierce fish in the lake last time and circled around the lake, hahahaha, even if you are a demigod, there are not many people who can fight with that fierce fish all day and be intact in the end, and the old people nearby probably remember it." (To be continued.) )

PS: ps: I went home today to be a filial son for a day, taking care of my parents, I arrived home very late, after writing two thousand, it's too late, and I owe another thousand, so I owe about five or six thousand, well, I don't bite if I have more lice, I don't have to worry if I have more debts, I should take a day off if it's a big deal, hahahaha. But it's been a lot lately, and I'm sick again, so I hope the busy time will pass quickly, and the number of words will return to normal when the time comes.
