Wang rubbed Xiaobai's head vigorously in response, and then ordered: "Without further ado, the sun is still hot here, let's hurry to the lizardman village!" ”

Liguang: "That's true. Descending the river first, the first fork enters the western tributary. ”

The king immediately glanced at the captain, who nodded and left.

Soon, the sails that had just been put away were lowered again, the iron anchors hanging from the mangroves were removed, and the new star began to move down the river again.

Seeing this, Rosalie suggested, "Then let's go back to the captain's room and wait?" After all, it can be hot outside. ”

The lizardman shook his head, "It's a comfortable thing for us lizardfolk to stay outside. ”

"They are cold-blooded," Wang explained to the others, "because the blood has no temperature, and the high temperature of the outside world will make their blood more active." As a result, lizardfolk activity is rarely seen in Monrovia and Kosania. ”

Xiaobai: "But there are kobolds!" Aren't baby lizards cold-blooded? ”

The warrior monk replied, "As far as I know, no. ”

Wang: "So in my house, I'm in the Mage Tower, the mages would argue about whether the kobolds were lizardmen or not, and in the end, the more accepted theory was that the kobolds were a rare mutant species, and because they became warm-blooded, they were more adaptable to the environment, and they were more widely distributed than the direct lizardmen. ”

At this time, Nini suddenly asked, "So the dragon is also a cold-blooded animal?" I mean, dragon blood has no temperature? ”

"Dragons are in a different situation," said the king, "and dragons are different, although their blood is cold, but dragons are essentially magical beasts, to be precise, high-level magical beasts, they created the first magic, and the progenitor dragons have god-like authority, and it makes no sense for this creature to care if it is ectothermic or not." ”

At this time, Rosalie took out a fan and opened it, and said, "You continue to talk, I'm a little hot, this maid is too tightly wrapped, I want to go back to enjoy the cool." ”

The lizardman looked at her carefully, and then asked, "According to my knowledge of human society, this woman is supposed to be dressed as a servant, why does she act like a master?" ”

Wang: "She...... Not long after becoming a servant, she was a princess before. ”

Lizardman: "Princess, is that the daughter of a human tribal chief?" Her life is really full of ups and downs, but I see the calm on her face, it seems that she has already stepped through the ups and downs, combined with her age, this is a woman of great courage, admirable. ”

Rosalie was embarrassed by this: "Ah...... Belch...... I haven't experienced anything anymore, it's just ...... A small change. ”

said that because of her weak heart, her eyes looked to the side - it was not a small accident, it was just that her fiancé ran away and was used by her father to make peace (preparation).

The devil knows what the lizardman has made up in his brain, but he said in a respectful tone, "What a courageous statement, I believe that nothing in your life will bother you again." ”

Xiao Bai pointed at the lizardman, looked at Wang and asked, "Is he frozen stupid in the monastery at the top of the eight peaks?" ”

Wang touched his chin: "I can't rule out such a possibility." Of course, it may be that he, like me, sees the world from a purer perspective. ”

Lizardman: "I'm confused by what you're saying, is there anything wrong with what I just said?" ”

Wang 1510 talked about Rosalie's identity and why she is wearing a maid outfit now.

The lizardman suddenly realized: "I see. So...... That is to say, Lord Rosalie wears a maid costume in order to please you with her work, and then gain the power to mate, right? ”

Wang: "So to speak. ”

The lizardman looked at Nini, "Then this elf, who must also be the princess of the forest kingdom, put on a servant's costume for the same reason, am I right?" ”

Wang: "Uh......"

Nini: "I'm just an ordinary elf, there are 300,000 elves like me in the Forest Kingdom. ”

Wang: "Wait a minute, are there only 300,000 elves in the forest kingdom?" ”

Flint teased, "Little Mage, you should get used to the population of our immortal race as soon as possible." Elves are a race with a lower fertility rate than us dwarves. You look at me and Jenny, we've been married for a hundred years and haven't had a single child.

"Situations like ours are not uncommon among dwarves. Because life is too long for us, and the need for succession is not so urgent. ”

Before the king could say anything, the lizardmen spoke first: "I see, in contrast, we lizardmen are a race that is very keen on passing on the lineage. The little monk has not yet had children because of his faith, but the woman who was born in the same year as me has already laid dozens of eggs. ”

Elizabeth was shocked: "Dozens of eggs? ”

Lizardman: "It's normal to be shocked. It's very rare for a human female to have more than three children at the same time, but lizardfolk are different, and quite a few baby lizardfolk die as they grow up, so we need to have as many children as possible. ”

The warrior monk paused and added: "In addition, eggs that have not hatched used to be an important reserve food for the tribe. Lay more eggs when food is abundant, and when famine comes, you can use eggs to feed your hunger. ”

Elizabeth exclaimed, "How can this be? Isn't that the equivalent of eating your own children? ”

The warrior monk was about to answer, but Xiaobai grabbed Bai and said, "What's so strange about this, when the famine comes, human beings will exchange children to eat." ”

Elizabeth: "This ......"

Apparently the well-bred princess also saw such an allusion in the book.

The lizardman continued, "However, after settling down, the custom was abolished. Correspondingly, the tribal population has recently increased considerably, and while the production of food rations has increased by farming and raising livestock, it has become more difficult to feed the tribe than before. ”

Wang: "Productivity has developed, but the safe environment has allowed young children to survive, which has led to the tribe having difficulty in providing for them. That's right. ”

Lizardman: "Back then, I was also puzzled by the fact that I had settled down but my life was even more poor, so I started my journey to seek wisdom. ”

Xiaobai: "Then you went to the monastery of Bafeng, and you were stupid?" ”

Wang silently patted Xiaobai's head and told her not to be so open-mouthed.

At the same time, he asked, "Did you find the answer?" ”

The warrior monk nodded: "Yes, this is the same reason that humans become obese, humans will become obese when there is enough food, because the food has increased, so they do not feel that the food has become abundant." When food is scarce again, the fat man can consume the fat reserves. ”

Wang: "Fat, that's called fat." ”

Warrior Monk: "The name doesn't matter. The same goes for the lizardmen, now that there is abundant food and no war, the population has increased, and when famine or war comes, these 'reserves' of 'fat' will be consumed. ”

Xiaobai let out an "oh" after hearing it, and said "like": "It seems that you are also very wise." ”

The king asked a crucial question: "What about famine or war?" I mean, let's say they don't come all the time. ”

The lizardman blinked, "This question was originally my doubt, until I returned to the village from the monastery and heard about what had happened during my absence.

"During this time, the lizardmen tribe, who also settled in the swamps, attacked us. The tribe chose to expand their fishing and farming to feed a larger population.

"So your assumption is not true, that war is bound to break out, and in the course of the war there is a famine because the fields are damaged, and the adult males who can hunt and fish die in large numbers."

Elizabeth: "Humans don't just make such mistakes. ”

But the lizardfolk retorted, "It's not a mistake, it's natural sense." ”

Wang: "It's a natural sense. ”

At this time, the lookout at the top of the mast reported loudly: "There is a fork ahead!" ”

Limitsu: "Please drop anchor at the fork, and a defense will be established, and it is best to have some railings to prevent others from climbing onto the ship." ”

Wang: "Railing? You mean, it's dangerous to park a boat here? ”

The warrior monk replied, "There is a magical beast inhabited here, we call them the Water Monkey, a monster that resembles a monkey but has an extra claw on its tail. They have poisonous claws on their tails, and they are very good at attacking with their tails.

"They often attack ships, which is the main reason why ships passing through the river countries hire guards."

As soon as the words fell, Nini and Xiaobai turned their heads together.

It was too late, and then it was too late, and something flew from the shore—

Nini shot the thing down to the deck with an arrow.

The thing wasn't dead, it was still struggling to jump up and rush to the nearest Rosalie!

As a result, Nini's second arrow hit her flicking tail, interrupting the attack on Rosalie and pinning it to the deck.

The attacker let out a terrible howl, broke Nini's arrow with all his might, and flicked his tail again, only to have the lizardman rush to the previous flick and kill the thing on the deck.

Wang's mouth opened into an O-shape: "What kind of boxing is this?" ”

Warrior Monk: "My monastery pays attention to the martial impermanence type, and innate weapons are also part of the martial arts, so our monastery has a lot of non-human warrior monks. My master is a dwarf. ”

The king was pleasantly surprised and said, "Dwarf monk! Don't gnomes like to be funny the most? How could he possibly become a warrior monk? ”

Warrior monks are basically orderly, but gnomes are curious, like all kinds of strange things, and think that anything that is weird is good. Gnomes are a race of goodness, but at the same time a race of chaos.

It is theoretically impossible for a dwarf to become a warrior monk.

Lizardman: "I was also very strange, so I asked the master about it, but he just laughed and didn't say anything. ”

Wang: "If you have a chance, you must visit your master." Now we're changing boats? ”

Lizardman: "Yes. I wouldn't have suggested that the female members of your squad visit the Lizardfolk Village, but I thought it would be more convenient for us to have Miss Elf's bow and arrows on our way to the village, so that I wouldn't have to defend myself against the attacks of this evil creature alone. ”

It pointed to the dead water monkey on the deck.

Lizardman: "This creature has very deadly claws, and if it is scratched, it will eat the antidote." Fortunately, there were many poisonous insects in the countries of the river basin, so everyone had a bottle of antidote. ”

Wang couldn't help but hold his forehead: "Why didn't anyone remind us to prepare an antidote?" ”

The crowd looked at him together.

Wang: "Look at what I'm doing, this should have been the duty of the rangers in the team, and the rangers are responsible for telling the team what they might encounter in front of them and what preparations should be made......

Nini: "But I'm a ranger just starting out on an adventure, and I don't have that experience. ”

Wang raised his eyebrows: "What about the short man?" ”

Flint: "When I used to travel, I was traveling in a fast boat through the river countries. Because this place is famous, there are leeches and big mosquitoes, and the mosquitoes here can also spread a fever. Oh yes, I have prepared a fair amount of removal sickness, and that's what I prepared based on experience. ”

Wang was speechless: "That's it, fortunately, the Emperor of Monrovia stuffed us with a bunch of unused potions and alchemy materials, I'll see if I can refine some antidote tonight." Let's get on the boat, and you will lead the way, monk. ”
