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 the elf clan of ZĂ o, but because of her hunting priesthood, she had a fierce conflict with several main gods who favored the side of the God of Life, so she ran away angrily, left the forest and entered the swamp, and created the zĂ o tribe alone. Although the two sides were later reconciled under the mediation of the goddess of the earth, the lizard tribe had already completed the creation and occupied a place on the earth, so Artemis had two children of her own, the elf and the lizardman.
Since the legend says that Artemis is the lizardman who created ZĂ o next to the Tear 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. With a reverent expression, she took a handful of water from the lake and sprinkled it over her head, and the lady bathed in the lake water seemed to be bathed in the divine grace from Artemis, and recited a prayer of thanksgiving: "Thank you Lady Goddess for giving us endless food and water, and may the glory of Goddess be by my side forever like lakes and swamps." â
No one else spoke, though others did not believe in Artemis, the goddess of the hunt. But with the utmost respect for Artemis, you will never be rude to interrupt a devout believer's prayers.
"Alright, hiss, I've kept you waiting. After nearly ten minutes of prayer, Galantis jumped up from the shore of the lake and said happily, "But don't worry, from here, you can reach our tribe today, hiss." Just in time for dinner, hiss, Mom's dinner tastes the best. Hey, I've walked this road too many times, and I can definitely grasp the time very accurately, don't worry. â
"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 doesn't matter. Hey, this way of camping is the most convenient. 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 live in swamps, when we go out hunting. All like to spend the night in this way, hiss, sizzle, it's so convenient. â
"Hiss, hiss. "A series of hissing sounds characteristic of lizardmen suddenly came from the surface of the lake. If you look closely, you can see that on the distant lake, in the faint fog, several small boats are floating in the water, and the hissing sound is coming from the direction of the boats. According to common sense, this hissing sound is a low tone, and it is impossible to be too high-pitched, nor can it be transmitted such a distance, but the unique pronunciation of the lizardmen makes their unique language very penetrating, and the volume is not high, but it can spread a considerable distance. 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 Pannis, 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." â
"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." â
"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. â
"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." â
"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." â
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." â
"Ha, ha, ha, haven't seen it. Pannis laughed dryly, shook his head vigorously, and said, "Absolutely not." â
"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 and did a day of filial piety, taking care of my parents, I arrived home very late, after writing two thousand, it was too late, and I owed another thousand, so I owe about five or six thousand, well, I don't bite if I have more lice, I don't worry if I have more debts, I should take a day off, hahahaha. But it's been a lot of things lately, and I'm sick again, so I hope the busy time will pass quickly, and I'll be able to recover the normal word count when the time comes.
