Chapter 372 The Debate Between Gods and Mortals

According to scholars in Faerun Continent, the murloc race is divided into two types, one is the Kuu-toa murlocs who were driven to the Underdark Underground many years ago, and the other is the sandy murlocs who lurked in the deep sea and plundered everywhere. Huayu people.

Now the Kou Tao murlocs appear on the isolated island, which proves that there is a passage leading to the Underdark region under the island. The resulting rift can reach into the Underdark as well.

This group of Kou Tao murlocs came to the surface world along a dark river channel and established an outpost on the island. They usually live secluded in the caves at the bottom of the cliff in the southern harbor, lie down day and night, multiply and thrive, and stare at the West Navy Islands and the coastal areas of the Sword Coast.

When Linde looked down from a high altitude, he decided that this was an uninhabited desert island, so he chose it as the site for his floating city. Unexpectedly, there were more than a hundred restless neighbors.

The big noise when summoning the spirit of nature obviously angered the group of murlocs. When they walked out of the cave, they were covered in bird droppings and turned into plaster statues on the spot. Several murlocs died of suffocation and panic. It can be said that they walked very unsafely. . Led by the high priest Frog Kunka, the angry murlocs marched towards the top of the mountain, preparing to find the culprit for revenge.

The continuous heavy rain and wildfires that followed caused heavy casualties to them. In the woodland lay several murloc corpses that were roasted by fire and scalded by steam.

The Kou-tao fish are definitely not a pleasing race. They are not only evil and savage, but also crazy-they used to be the slaves of the mind flayer, and they were controlled by the mind for many years. After losing the master of the mind flayer, their broken hearts cannot be recovered , therefore became insane, and collectively devoted themselves to fanatical religious beliefs as a way to combat the inner madness.

This is a group of fish-headed, smooth-skinned monsters with webbed feet, holding fishing nets, harpoons, and slime-stained shields.

When Lin De and the others returned to the Silver Tree, dozens of murlocs surrounded Mia and the three pack horses. If they came back later, no matter whether they were humans or animals, they would be taken back by the barbaric murlocs to sacrifice.

Frog Kunka, the high priest of the Kou Tao murlocs, spoke the common underground language, and its protruding yellow eyeballs shone with a strange light, staring intently at the Silver Tree.

It has long felt the call of the gods. It was not a specific sound, but an abnormal wind, a change in the humidity in the air, and a faint restlessness in its heart, guiding it to the top of the mountain.

In this universe, the boundaries between humans and gods are actually not so clear, and every move of the gods affects the historical reality of the main material plane.

Before the emergence of a new theory of magic, Oghma, the god of knowledge, allowed this knowledge to emerge.

A storm sweeping across the ocean was nothing more than an unprovoked anger of the queen of the sea, Amberley.

Correspondingly, every move of mortals also affects the priesthood and divine power of the gods.

If a theory is not brewed in labor and social practice, Oghma, the god of knowledge, cannot make it suddenly appear in someone's mind.

If the sailors who go to sea worship Amberley in advance and get her favor, then the storms of the sea will also avoid their ships.

There is such a subtle coexistence relationship between gods and humans. Although the status of each other is extremely unequal, the mortals in Faerun are accustomed to it and do not feel oppressed.

The existence of the gods is so objective, just like a series of natural phenomena such as wind, rain, thunder and lightning. If you are afraid of storms, you worship storms, and if you desire money, you worship money. This is a simple and ancient value concept.

Mortals are under the control of gods, and the appearance of gods is also closely related to the beliefs of mortals.

The Kou-tao people generally believe in Bribodup, the mother of the sea. According to legend, this goddess is a god created by the Kuo-tao people with their fanatical religious enthusiasm after their hearts were broken. Her appearance is the result of the gathering of living beings' beliefs. Mortal beliefs can create gods, which actually explains a lot of things.

Kunka the Frog knew that the Sea Mother longed for this strange tree. From the mucus secreted by its companion, it already smelled a special stench, just like the stomach of a beast, which was a symbol of greed.

The Mother of the Sea longs for this tree.

So it impatiently threatened Linde and the others.

Doric conveyed the words of Cuenca the Frog, "He tells us to go now, or we will be hanged on the sea cliff, and our flesh will be eaten, and seabirds will eat us, and fish will eat our bones."

Linde was not angry when he heard this. When the opponent is too weak, all threats are barking like a puppy. Not only is he not afraid, but he also finds it funny.

But it’s funny, it’s funny, evil races like the Kuo-tao fish people can’t communicate well, don’t show them any mercy, they hate everyone equally, and if given the chance, they will definitely kill other surface races with brutal means, this is It is also the will of the mother of the sea.

If you want to coexist peacefully with them, you can basically rely on confusion control spells. Words can't convince these guys.

Doric exchanged a few words with Kunka the Frog, but the murlocs refused to budge and decided that these human beings were weak and incompetent, so their attitude became tougher.

Since the weapons of criticism do not work, we have to use the criticism of weapons.

Linde gave his companion a wink, and both Stan and Doric understood.

Stan played the guitar softly, and the sound of the piano resonated magically. He sang European and American pop songs, but in fact he released a group charm technique. A pink-purple sound wave spread, and the Kou Tao murlocs who were screaming and killing were stunned. In their eyes, the few surface human guys in front of them suddenly became very pleasing to the eye, just like the same litter born by a mother back then. Egg, long-lost brother.

Except for the High Priest Frog Kunka, who was exempted from the charm by luck and skill, the other murlocs were all quiet.

Frog Kunka sensed that something was wrong, and immediately ordered the fellow murlocs to launch an attack. However, the murloc fighters who were always obedient and obedient were hesitant. Even Frog Kunka's own son, one of Kou Tao's pushers, stood in place expectantly.

Doric shook his body and turned into an eagle.

Seeing the opportunity, Linde released a giant enlargement technique on Doric's transformation form, turning him into a giant eagle, flying up and grabbing Kunka the frog, circling in mid-air for a week, and throwing it to the ground. fish cakes.

The Kou Tao fishman was terrified and didn't respond for a while.

Linde summoned the magic sword, quickly penetrated into the enemy formation, shuttled back and forth, and killed the powerful murlocs who had escaped the charm effect first.

Stan casts the 5th ring of [Dominate Human Beings], the effect is to make the humanoid creatures who fail to pass the save obey orders, and he orders a Kou Tao spurr to attack his companions.

Doric turned into an owlbear after landing—normally, druids can only transform into beasts, and owlbears are monsters. But the tiefling girl is very talented. She thinks that the owlbear is also a beast, so she successfully obtained its wild form.

This bird-headed and bear-body monster possesses extraordinary power. It rampages like a boulder rolling down a hillside. With one charge, it plows a ditch in the murloc team. The weak murloc fighters are beaten and spit on the spot. Be stronger. was also thrown away from the center of the battlefield.

Kou Tao murlocs got rid of the charm one after another, threw spears and fishing nets at Lin De and others, and pinched them with a cane with pliers.

Xiaoxiong's skin was rough and fleshy, it was stabbed twice without even breaking the skin, and the fishing net was directly torn apart, anyone who tried to pinch her was dragged away by force.

Stan moved nimbly and retreated behind Linde.

The magic sword surrounded by Linde automatically picked up the enemy's weapons, protecting them tightly.

The Kou Tao Yuren were unable to attack for a long time, and civil strife broke out again, but with their crazy bravery, they did not flee.

"That's it."

After chanting a spell, thousands of iridescent magic swords appeared in the sky. On average, each murloc survived the attack of ten magic swords, and each color of magic sword had different effects. Flame, strong acid, lightning, toxin, freezing, bondage, blindness, the seven effects can be matched as you like, so you can die very quickly. (end of this chapter)
