If the orange grows in Huainan, it becomes orange; if it grows in the north of Huaihe, it becomes orange.
This sentence came to Liu Xing's mind after listening to Ruslan's story.
"I see. I said before that you, the Cold Spider Clan, are intelligent creatures like us humans. Logically speaking, you should be willing to communicate with other people. How could you do it without saying anything? You know, even those who make people
Disgusting moon beasts, they will even say a few words to you insincerely." Liu Xing pretended to be suddenly enlightened.
Roslan smiled, nodded and said: "Yes, logically speaking, we, the Cold Spider Clan, should be like other intelligent mythical creatures, establishing relatively harmonious tribes, rather than being individual tribes with unique characteristics like you have in mind.
It is an independent beast; as for why this is the case, it actually has to be blamed on the father-god of our Cold Spider Clan, Atrak."
Liu Xing looked at Roslan with some surprise. Firstly, it was because it dared to publicly arrange the story of the old ruler it served - Atrak, and secondly, it actually called Atrak as Father God.
First of all, the first point is that Liu Xing knows that some old rulers are very tolerant to their dependents, or they are under Buddhist management. Unless they openly defect to the opposing old rulers, they generally will not care about their dependents.
What do they do? Of course, there are some old rulers who have a strong desire to control and will make their dependents completely obey their orders and abide by various behavioral standards set by themselves.
So, is Atrak the former?
Then there is the issue of Atrak’s gender. This is actually a puzzle in the Cthulhu mythology that is constantly being edited and confused, because Atrak is a male spider in the writing of its creator Clark, but in the next chapter, Atrak is a male spider.
In some of the subsequent works, she became a female spider. After all, as an old ruler who may have as many offspring as Sabu Nicholas, it makes more sense that Atrak is a female spider.
What's more, most species of spiders are matriarchal, and the size of male spiders is often only one-tenth of the size of female spiders, or even smaller. In addition, male spiders of some species will die for various reasons after completing the task of carrying on the family line.
Therefore, in various animation movies and game works, if a spider monster is to appear as a BOSS, then nine times out of ten it will be a female spider, and the remaining one will have an unknown gender.
Therefore, in today's Cthulhu Running Group game hall, many people think that Atrak should be a female spider. As for the reason why the remaining people insist that Atrak is a male spider, the only reason left is Clark.
The first version of Atrak that was written was a male spider.
Of course, from a modern perspective, the reason why Clark wrote that Atrak was a male spider may be because Clark did not know much about spiders. After all, in the era when Clark lived, that is, in the twentieth century
Half a century ago, ordinary people may only know about spiders that they can build webs and live in dark corners. As for other professional knowledge, they may not know anything about it, because ordinary people at that time really lacked channels to obtain extracurricular knowledge.
.
Therefore, some people think that Clark's description of Atrak as a male spider was a mistake, so the later transformation of Atrak into a female spider was actually a "correction of evil".
Therefore, before this, Liu Xing also thought that Atrak should be a female spider. Unexpectedly, the Cthulhu Run Game Hall was quite loyal to the original work and still set Atrak as a male spider.
However, this also brings about a problem, that is, in the setting of the Cthulhu Mythos, all the spider-like mythical creatures in the dreamland are more or less related to Atrak, so if Atrak is
As for the male spider, its harem should have more than 3,000 beauties... not to mention those who can withstand the "control" of the old rulers... ahem, I can't say more, because they won't be able to pass the trial.
Looking at Liu Xing with a strange expression on his face, Roslan also guessed some of Liu Xing's thoughts, "Hahaha, you don't need to worry. Father God is actually very easy to talk to. Generally speaking, as long as you don't do it in front of it,
If we are alive, then Father God will not punish us, so sometimes we will complain about Father God... After all, from a certain point of view, we Leng Spider have such a bad life, all because Father God does not let us
Feel free to leave Leng Yuan."
Liu Xing nodded and asked curiously: "Then I would like to ask, why does your Father God want you to stay in Leng Yuan? I actually know a little about Leng Yuan. It is indeed a bitter and cold place.
, it can be said that it has no value at all, but the geographical location of Leng Yuan is still very important, because Leng Yuan straddles the dreamland and the real world.
"Yes, theoretically speaking, Leng Yuan is indeed a place without any occupying value, but its geographical location makes it a battleground for military strategists. But that being said, there must be someone who really needs to pass through.
Leng Yuan enters and exits the real world or the dreamland, right? It's a pity that few people have taken this path for so many years. After all, those who have the ability have more convenient ways to enter and exit the dreamland and the real world, while those without the ability cannot.
Dare to enter Leng Yuan."
Roslan couldn't help complaining: "But our Father God doesn't know what he thinks. He has to stay in Lengyuan, a place where no one can shit, for tens of thousands of years. He stays in his fortress every day without coming out.
; Moreover, our Father God is not the only Old One ruler in Leng Yuan, so we have to serve the other Old One rulers honestly. After all, they are not existences that we cannot afford to offend...
Although most of the time, we are scattered throughout Leng Yuan, and we will only gather together when something big happens."
Hearing what Roslan said, Liu Xing really couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, I didn't expect that your life of Leng Spiders turned out to be so miserable. I always thought that you Leng Spiders were just a bunch of idiots."
The hunter of emotions."
Roslan sighed and said helplessly: "We also seem to have feelings. After all, who wants to be a hunting machine without self-awareness? And also has to fight to the death with his own tribe? It's a pity that these are all fathers.
We can’t say anything about God’s arrangement. Fortunately, a moon beast strayed into Leng Yuan decades ago, and I and a few friends took the opportunity to chase it out. In this way, we were able to leave Leng Yuan.
I have lived a happy life outside until now.”
"Well, actually I have another question, that is, at first I thought you were planning to go to the moon, but I didn't expect that your goal would be Mars. So if possible, Roslan, can you tell me that you are going to Mars?
What are you doing? In my impression, there are only a group of cats on Mars, right? And there is an ancient god backing these cats." Liu Xing asked while the iron was hot.
Roslan did not hesitate and said directly: "The reason is actually very simple. We, the Cold Spider clan, are ready to cooperate with those Martian cats to form an alliance to deal with the moon beasts, because in recent years, the activities of the moon beasts have become more and more intense.
It has become more and more rampant, and even tried to capture some juvenile cold spiders in Leng Yuan. Therefore, the hatred between our cold spider family and the moon beasts can be said to be getting deeper and deeper. As for the Martian cats, the situation is similar; therefore, in order to avoid being
The moon beast discovered the clues, so we planned to go to Mars from the real world first, and then discuss cooperation with those Mars cats."
Is there such an operation?
Liu Xing said with a confused look: "Wait a minute, I remember that your father god is the ruler of the old days, so shouldn't he have a grudge against the ancient god, the cat god Best? Then if you dependents cooperate, will it really matter?
Will there be no problem?"
Roslan smiled, shook his head and said: "Where, the old rulers and the ancient gods are actually a very broad concept, and less than one-fifth of the old rulers and ancient gods actually fought back then.
First, other people are basically watching the show, or going through the motions, so there are only a few people who really have conflicts; our father God has always been an otaku in the fantasy world, and has almost no relationship with other people.
There have been conflicts between the Old Ones or the Ancient Gods, so we have no problem with the Martian Cat Alliance this time."
Liu Xing nodded and continued to ask: "By the way, I heard that Aslan you speak quite humanely, so have you had a lot of contact with us humans before?"
"Yes, I have known a lot of humans a long time ago, because didn't I tell you before? It was because I wanted to chase the moon beast that I was able to leave Leng Yuan, and then I was on that moon beast
I rescued several humans from their lair. Originally, I planned to eat them directly. After all, I was very hungry after chasing them for so long. But someone came forward and convinced me, so I lived with these humans.
They built me a house and cooked food, while I was responsible for providing protection and hunting, but this really improved my quality of life a lot."
Needless to say, Liu Xing knew that the human who persuaded Roslan back then must be the player, but this was still quite outrageous, since he could convince a hungry cold spider to live with him.
"Later, I let these people return to the real world. After all, this ghost land of Dreamland is really not suitable for human activities like you, because there are mythical creatures everywhere that can kill you, not to mention that their families are still in the real world;
But after that, I also liked cooperating with you humans, so I still know your lives very well." Roslan said with a smile.
Although this may sound outrageous, it is generally reasonable.
Liu Xing touched his chin and laughed, "I see, no wonder you joined this action team. It seems that your father is also good at understanding people and making good use of them; but then again, I have had an affair with the Moon Beast before.
There are some conflicts, so I also know that these moon beasts have been a little uneasy recently, but the specific situation is not clear. After all, these are all stories that happened in the dreamland..."
Looking at Liu Xing who was hesitant to speak, Roslan knew what Liu Xing meant, "Actually, it's not that we can't talk about the moon beast, but I'm not sure about the authenticity of some things, because how can I put it, some news is not
It's a rumor; first of all, there is an existence of the Old Dominator level in the Moon Beast Clan, but our Father God believes that this Old Dominator is not worthy of the name, or that it is created by the Mi.Ge Clan.
The half-step old ruler is just like him, he only has his form but no spirit, so if we really want to fight, our Father God will undoubtedly be able to defeat him."
"However, even if this old ruler is a fake and shoddy product, its strength is still far superior to ordinary mythical creatures like us. After all, this is considered bloodline suppression, so for the sake of insurance, we
We plan to encircle the moon beasts and force this semi-finished product to come out and fight with us, so that we can nip the threat in the bud; but we cold spiders can't fly, let alone go to the moon to find trouble for the moon beasts, so besides Mars
In addition to cats we also contacted Bayaki."
"In addition, there is another news that sounds a bit outrageous, but we have to take it seriously, that is, there may be several old rulers behind the moon beast, and the purpose of these old rulers may be
Let the Moon Beast be the vanguard to control the entire Dreamland and decipher the truth behind the Dreamland! You must know that even our Father God has not yet figured out why the Dreamland exists."
Hearing this, Liu Xing suddenly became interested, because the existence of Dreamland can indeed be regarded as an unsolved mystery in the Cthulhu mythology. After all, no one knows what a huge special space like Dreamland is.
How does it exist, and so many old rulers and ancient gods can move freely in it, which shows how powerful the dreamland's carrying capacity is.
"The current mainstream view is that Dreamland must have an energy core to ensure that Dreamland can exist normally. Therefore, the value of this energy core is self-evident. Therefore, many people have tried to find this energy core before.
The so-called energy core, of course, also includes our Father God. Unfortunately, this is all in vain; but there are still many people who are still unwilling to give up and are still looking for treasures everywhere in the dreamland. In the end, they really found it.
A unique metal called Dream Gold, this metal has never been found in the real world."
At this point, Roslan took off a fist-sized piece of "golden head" from his back, but Liu Xing took a closer look and found that this piece of metal that looked like gold had a plastic feel.
"But this dream gold has no effect at all. It is not as good as ordinary iron ore for making weapons and equipment, so it can be used to hit people now."
