After getting the reminder from Gelsemium, Fisher and others quickly walked towards that direction. Walking towards the seaside along the sandy soil plants that were growing and sparse, the first thing Fisher saw was an almost vertical
The cliffs - on Longwei Island and the Southern Continent in later generations, the seaside is basically a vertical cliff with no transition at all. The cliff only has a slight arc toward the inside of the land, so it is particularly like a cage in all directions.
Surround the land.
Previously, Fisher thought that such terrain was formed by the huge spear used by the Mother Goddess to split the land, but now it seems that is not the case. Long before the Mother Goddess was born, the terrain here was like this when the Southern Continent and the Western Continent were still connected.
Already.
Under the vertical cliff, there is a piece of white sand connected to the blue ocean. Many hollow caves have been dug on the cliff. There are more yurt-like structures of different sizes between the cliff and the white sand.
, Gelsemium said that is the snake people's favorite architectural style.
Everyone stood on the towering cliff and took in everything below. Gelsemium turned to Chun and asked,
"There is a settlement on the seaside here. Is it the Kakaf settlement that is doing business with you?"
Chun shook his head, looked to the north and replied,
"No, the settlement we are trading with is further north of this settlement... but the signs here are very similar to those over there."
Fisher also looked down with the force of the camel's head bumping lightly behind him. For some reason, the camel that led them just now seemed to have spotted Fisher, and kept following behind him, no matter what.
She kept nudging him with her head, and performed songs for him using her singing talent that she didn't know was a sacred object.
Fisher looked back impatiently and glared at the camel behind him. The camel immediately lowered its head like a human being and looked elsewhere as if to dodge, but then secretly looked at him with its eyes, showing no intention of leaving.
, as if relying on him.
Gelsemium next to him saw this novel scene, touched his chin and teased,
"It's really strange. I originally thought you were just pleasing to the demi-human race, but now it seems that all females have a crush on you. Even camels are like this... It likes you quite a lot. How about you
Just ride a camel back?"
Fisher looked at him expressionlessly and asked,
"What are you happy about?"
"I'm happy..."
Gelsemium smiled slightly, but she couldn't smile, and her face turned a bit stinky. She stopped looking at him, which made Fisher confused.
However, he has gradually become accustomed to the weirdness of this whale race. Who knows what this wandering doctor is thinking. Seeing Gelsemium shrivelled, he only feels happiness, as if he extracts from it exactly the same thing that Heller experienced.
Just as much fun...
Then, after realizing this, the smile on Fisher's face gradually faded away, and like Gelsemium, his face turned pale and fell into silence.
Mikhail ignored the two people behind him who were making surprisingly consistent progress. He only tapped his temple, and then the scene of the snake-man settlement below became clearly visible in his field of vision as if it were magnified.
In addition to those tents, he also saw many cellar-like warehouses. There were many snake men outside pushing trolleys to and from the tents. Mihayiner recognized at first sight that all the items on the trolley were
Magic materials.
The snake people on Longwei Island do not look like the upper body of a human and the lower body of a snake as generally imagined. To be precise, they look like snakes from top to bottom, and the whole body is a kind of pinkish red, but in the snake
They only have short and small claws on their bodies, which makes them look like geckos without two legs or lizards. Moreover, they are not as slender as snakes, but appear fat, highlighting their plumpness.
The first impression that the group of snake people gave to Mikhail was that of some kind of cute mascots, which indeed fit the "honest and responsible" business group described by Chun. However, the moment Gelsemium saw the group of snake people, his expression changed.
Being speechless, he turned to Chun next to him and asked,
"As you said before, does the snake-people settlement in Karkafu also look like the snake-people here?"
"...Yes, it's all like this. Aren't all snake people like this?"
Gelsemium shook her head and said to Chun,
"No, this is the Muxiya snake-man subspecies. There are three kinds of snake-men in the Dragon Continent. This is one of them, and it is also the most ferocious one. It has the habit of eating people. Generally speaking, they look for people for no reason.
There must be some special reason why you do business..."
Chun was speechless when asked. He was not from the Dragon Continent and had rarely left the Tree Continent for a long time. Of course he knew nothing about it.
"...I don't know if there could be any special reason."
Gelsemium sighed, and then pointed to a small house on the coast below. He didn't say anything, but when Chun looked along the other person's finger, he found that the blue ocean was close to the small house there.
The area around the house was dyed a faint scarlet red, and the white foam on the sea seemed to be mixed with some unidentifiable fragments.
In front of the small house, there are many cages stacked on top of each other, like birdcages, just like when Fisher went to the circus in Kozenin in the southern continent to buy Rafael.
Many humans and subhuman species.
Chun's eyes trembled slightly, and his fingers tightened a little bit. Fisher also vaguely felt that his skin began to feel itchy. He didn't know if it was an illusion or was affected by his power. Fisher
Looking down, he found that all the hair on his body stood up, and there seemed to be streaks of purple light flowing in his blood vessels.
Chun seemed a little angry, and even Gelsemium did not expect his anger to come so suddenly. He looked at the cage below, frowned and asked Gelsemium,
"Why did they keep slaves?"
Gelsemium looked at the cage over there and replied,
"...No, the Muxiya snake people never kept slaves. They usually eat them on the spot, so they must have their own reasons for doing this now, Master Chun..."
Before he finished speaking, Chun raised his hand slightly, and the next moment the entire coast began to shake.
"Hum hum!"
The camel behind him began to stir uneasily. Fisher subconsciously reached out and touched its head to calm it down. As a result, as soon as Fisher's hand touched it, the camel miraculously became quiet.
Come down.
Its eyes showed a "successful" look in a humane way, and it even stuck out its tongue and licked Fisher's hand, making Fisher curl his lips and rub the hair on its head, complaining.
road,
"Cunning camel, you are definitely in line with that angel's temperament."
"Grrrrrr!"
It shook its head and cupped Fisher's hand coquettishly. Although it didn't seem to understand what Fisher was saying at all, it just wanted to express its approval.
Soon, thick tree branches suddenly grew on the ground, squeezing the ground and cliffs away like thick redwoods, and like a natural disaster, the snake tribe below was still functioning.
Cover it up to cover up the sky and the sun.
"Ahhhhh!"
"earthquake!
"
"Run away!"
As Chun, Fisher and others slowly descended along the branch, the scene on the cliff below was finally fully revealed to everyone's eyes.
I saw that the bottom of the cliff had been completely hollowed out, forming a connected and complicated cave system. Most of the snake people seemed to live in it. When they heard the terrifying noise above, they all
ran out, but Fisher soon discovered that many of them were dragging small trailers filled with strange items. Without exception, all those strange items were in the belly of the camel.
That kind of incomplete holy object.
As the entire coast was wrapped in huge branches as thick as four or five people hugging each other, all the snake people who fled in panic froze outside and looked at the few people standing on the beach. That is, at the same time.
, a low and angry roar suddenly came from the cave, and the sound like thunder spread along with the shadows that swayed slightly with the candles in the cave, seeming to outline an extremely strong shadow.
.
"who is it?!
!”
The shadow shouted.
Chun remained motionless, watching helplessly as a "fully armed" fat red snake man slowly walked out of the cave. It was covered with incomplete holy objects, as if it was armed to the teeth. There were two fleshy bodies on the left and right.
Dudu wields a shiny weapon in each of his little hands, making his tall and fat body look both majestic and joyful.
"Who are you?!
How dare you trespass into the territory of the Kakafu Snake Man! I am Kakaro, the younger brother of the Kakafu Snake King, and a loyal supporter of the Saint Sorobato!
Let you see the blessing given by the saint..."
The weapon in the hand of the fully armed snake man became brighter and brighter, bursting out with astonishing momentum like a light bulb. So the next second, in his aggressive words, he...well, one of his
The fleshy hand exploded instantly, and thick branches sprouted with many dark purple flowers.
"Whoaaah!"
Chun retracted his fingers expressionlessly, watching the snake man who called himself "Kakaro" writhing on the ground like a maggot in pain. The snake man next to him was struck by Chun's life-level suppressing glance.
The sweep made them all fall to their knees, trembling with fear.
The ranks of this group of snake-men are probably between the sixth and ninth ranks. They would certainly massacre lower-ranked humans or other demi-races, but when faced with the mythical Tsubaki, their status would instantly change and become something like
Existing like ants.
Fisher, who was sitting on the dromedary, touched his chin and glanced around, but did not see the elf woman. Tsuki said that she was waiting for him in the Karkafu Snake Man Settlement, but he was not sure.
Is it here? After all, Chun said there is another settlement in the north.
"...What are you doing here? Who is Sorobato? What is the purpose of your deal with the Utopia?"
But Chun, who restrained people, seemed to have no experience in interrogation, and didn't even know what he should do next. He seemed to be very unaccustomed to using force to suppress other races. Most of the time, he was kind to others.
, if he hadn't seen the other party's cruel slave-keeping behavior, he probably wouldn't have questioned the other party's purpose.
"What kind of deal...My brother and I have separated a long time ago. Everything we do here has nothing to do with it over there. As for what we do here..."
Facing Chun's soft question, Kakaro's eyes rolled around in front of him, and he replied like this.
After Chun heard the words and thought for a moment, he also felt that what the other party said was possible. After all, the two settlements were quite far apart. Maybe this was the work of the snake people on both sides... What he was about to say,
But Gelsemium next to him knelt down with a smile, pointed at Chun, and said,
"This is an elf who lives in the Utopia. He is a real mythical species, with a higher level of life than the Zorobato angel you believe in. If you tell the truth, you will live; if you lie, you and your brother will be wiped out. Elf
The adults don’t have time to verify it, so it’s better to just wipe it off, what do you think?”
After hearing this, Kakaro immediately raised his head and glanced at the huge trees around him that were like natural disasters. His lips spit out snake letters uncontrollably, and then he immediately squirmed his snake body, giving up on himself and said,
"No, please don't kill me. I'll tell you everything. This matter has nothing to do with me. It's all my brother Karkaf's fault!"
After Kakaro's statement, Chun finally figured out the ins and outs of the deal with the Utopia and the establishment of this place to hold slaves.
Historically, the snake people of the Muxia tribe have always been scattered. Until Kakafu and Kakaro's father's generation, perhaps because he had too many female snake people and his offspring were too many and too strong, he finally
A seemingly great idea came up, that is, to unify the Dragon Continent.
Yes, you heard it right, that is the Unified Dragon Continent.
In fact, due to the indifference of Fermat Baha Dragon God and his rare appearance, in addition to the existence of the mythical species, the local creatures in the Dragon Continent did not know that there was such a heavyweight existence above their heads, but they did
We know that there are mythical species, mostly angels, because the Sanctuary often sends slaves to Dragon Continent and other places to collect magic materials.
The Muxiya snake people are the most powerful of the three snake people. They also know that there is heaven outside the world, and there are snake people outside the snake people... No, there is a mythical reason, so Kakafu came up with this glorious idea.
Their father realized that to unify the Dragon Continent, they must get the support of the mythical species. In their father's generation, they often tried to contact the angels of the Sanctuary through the Sanctuary slaves who came here, so that they could unify the Dragon Continent.
Gain legitimacy given by God.
But until their father passed away, no angel was willing to take advantage of them, and their father really did not dare to truly act and become the king of the Dragon Continent.
It can be said that their father is still very smart, but he also has limitations in his vision. Like the Phoenixes in the future in the north, they have already thought of a lot, but are unwilling to go one step further.
The Phoenix species knew how powerful the Chaos species were, and hoped to gain transcendent power through the spiritual world they came from. However, they did not expect why the Chaos species entered reality: the Snake species knew how powerful the Myth species were, and hoped to use their power to unify.
This primitive continent was scattered, but they didn't expect what kind of power made the mythical species dare not intervene. They could only remotely control slaves to collect magic materials...
All we can say is that history is a circle and no one can escape, no matter who they are or what race they are.
The story returns to the present, until the position is passed to the children headed by Karkaf, and this strategy continues. But unlike their father, Karkaf's prayer really received an answer from a great saint,
That angel is called Zorobato.
He came into contact with the snake people headed by Kakaf, and promised to give them legitimacy in the name of the mythical species and the sanctuary, and promised to help them establish the first snake people empire in the history of the Dragon Continent. The price was very simple, that is, they needed
Donate a large amount of slaves and magic materials to Zorobato.
In order to show that he was really helping this group of snake people, Zorobato asked them to keep their secrets, privately allowed them to buy and sell the holy objects given to the mortal world by the saints, and gave them a lot of profit-making information... at least
Kakaf and Kakaro think so, including the suggestion of trading with Utopia was also provided by Sorobato, saying that there will be great fortune in the future, otherwise why would these snake people rush to Utopia so eagerly?
Woolen cloth?
They obtained a lot of information from the transaction, and not only did Zorobato know this information, he might also have told this information to others, including Chun's fellow elves.
The more Gelsemium listened, the more funny his expression became. Even Fisher had heard the clue. Although Chun had a solemn expression, he saw that the expressions of several people around him were not right, so he immediately cast doubt on Gelsemium.
The solution in his eyes made Gelsemium open his mouth to explain,
"Lord Chun, Zorobato is treating these snake people like monkeys. He lied to them. This is the territory of the Dragon God of Fima Baha. What authority does he have to promise them any legitimacy? His only right
The purpose is to bypass the surveillance of the Holy Realm and privately open up a channel for him to forge illegal life gospel sacred objects, so he wants so many slaves and forging materials..."
Speaking of the latter, Gelsemium gritted his teeth and glared at the unsuccessful holy objects all over the ground. It seemed that the camel that Fisher was riding at the moment contained in the stomach the same holy objects sold by this group of snake people on the Dragon Continent.
thing.
“The Holy Relic of the Gospel of Life?”
Chun had only heard a little bit about angels being good at forging, but he had never heard such a term. Gelsemium was a bit difficult to explain, but Mikhail behind him spoke. After Michael's influence, he understood this group of people.
Angel's forging process is very familiar,
"The gospels of holy objects that angels usually forge are all given by forging materials that echo with rules. These rules seem to be closely related to the power of the invisible but real gods. One of the gospels is called the gospel of life, as the name suggests.
It is a life form that has the power of life added to it during forging. And the gospel holy objects forged in this way are expressly prohibited by the Holy Land..."
Chun still didn't understand the pass and asked doubtfully,
"The Gospel of Life... But if you want to possess Lord Lamastia's power, wouldn't it be possible to use ordinary animals? Why should we add these conscious creatures?"
"...Um, wait a minute, it seems that there are also gospel relics that add echo creatures to the forge, but angels have explicitly banned the addition of humans and intelligent creatures such as demi-humans into the forge. I don't know the specific reason.
Maybe it’s because the god you believe in, La... La, etc., prefers intelligent creatures, right?”
"Stop, stop, Master Chun, Mikhail, you are here to exchange forging skills... The problem now is to deal with these snake people. They were deceived by Sorobato, and they are in contact with your Utopia.
There is no good intention in the transaction."
Chun was slightly startled when he heard this. He glanced at the imprisoned slaves around him, and then at Kakaro and his snake people who were kneeling on the ground shivering. He couldn't help but sigh. After waiting for a moment, he spoke.
,
"You have been deceived by angels. No angel can give you the so-called legitimacy even if they create their existence. This land has another owner whose name you do not know. He hates any organized settlement and advocates primitive
With their wild nature and freedom, your country will face catastrophe on the day it is founded... Free all the slaves here, and I will take them back to the Utopia."
This was the first time Fisher knew about the ideas of the Dragon God of Fema Bach. No wonder this Dragon Continent looks barbaric and there are few political systems like the Utopia. It turned out to be all because of the Dragon God.
But if Jasmine were here, she would definitely complain about the Dragon God Fima Baha, because she is always with the God of Hundreds of Appearances and knows very well what the Dragon God does. When his children, the dragon races, are born in the future
Sometimes, he would seem to have forgotten about advocating wildness and freedom, and silently helped them establish one of the largest countries in the history of the world, with his name being passed down for eternity - Fima Baharon Court.
Although Fisher didn't know the specific reason at this moment, he still knew that among the three demigods, only "Fermat Bach" had been passed down to the era in which he lived.
Chun did not liquidate these snake people who were deceived by the angel, or in other words, he was kind-hearted and had no intention of liquidating others, even if they did things that went against his own ideas.
Kakaro looked at Chun in front of him. He opened his mouth and spit out the snake letter, and then suddenly at this moment, he made a decision that went against his ancestors. He suddenly lowered his head and faced Chun piously.
said,
"Great Lord, please forgive us for our previous ignorance. On behalf of myself and the snake people here, I would like to ask you for asylum. Please allow us to join your kingdom. Even if we know that we have been deceived by the Zorobato Angel, we still
There is nothing we can do about it, and it is even difficult to refuse to continue to provide him with materials. We will be punished. I would like to persuade my brother to ask for the integration of the whole family into the Utopia.
"Solobato Heaven... He also has a sacred object being forged in our cave and asks us to guard it. Although we don't know the specific method, he seems to value the sacred object in the cave very much. I would like to
I offer it with the promise to never eat people again and the punishment of being a slave. I humbly hope to be accepted by you and only want to protect my people."
Chun raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He glanced at the people around him, but they didn't express any opinions. Only Mikhail replied intentionally or unintentionally,
"Are you going to ask Margaret?"
"...No, she will agree."
Chun replied speechlessly, and then he glanced at the setting sun in the sky, which was gradually sinking into the ocean, and a bright full moon slowly rising in the distance. It seemed that his previous promise to go back quickly must be invalidated.
.
He did not hesitate, looked at the people around him and said,
"In this case, please help me deal with the things here. Mikhail, you and I go to see the group of imprisoned slaves; Gelsemium, you go and gather all the snake people here, those remnants
The gospel relic... I plan to bring it back to the Republic for future use; Fisher, can I ask you about the unfinished relic?"
Chun's words rarely contained orders, and the three Fishers were of course willing to follow his suggestions, not to mention that there was nothing to do here anyway.
Fisher patted the camel under him and followed a snake man leading the way towards the cave. Gelsemium clapped his hands with a smile and asked Kakaro to gather all the snake men.
As for Chun, he went to the cage in the distance, where hundreds of lower-level demi-races were imprisoned. There were many injured among them, and he needed to free them and treat them.
Only Mihayin suddenly touched his head on the spot, looked at the dark moonlight in the sky and said doubtfully,
"Wait, something seems wrong... What did we come out to do in the first place?"
