Chapter 691: Elven Secret
The old fisherman king gasped heavily, and an inexplicable frightened light shot out of his eyes, "The elf king, the elf king is a devil!
Tianxian realized that he had finally caught the clue.
Xue sat down quietly on the other side of Tianxian's side, and Tu Ge stood behind Tianxian...... Everyone gathered, and Luna, who had been dragged away, had calmed down and appeared next to her with a strange expression.
Everyone was waiting for the old fisherman king to continue.
The old fisherman king looked at the large group of humans in front of him, and the frightened look on his face slowly disappeared, replaced by the same smile as just now, "You guys...... What are you doing here?"
Tian Xian Zhengse said: "Old gentleman, we have no malicious intentions, but we are now confused, we don't know where our clues are, if you know anything about the Elf King, please tell us, it will be of great help to us." β
The fourth girl added: "We promise not to harm the fishermen, nor do anything harmful to the surrounding environment. β
The old fisherman king smiled, this time looking a little reluctant, "Hehe, don't pay attention to what I said just now, I'm old...... I have also been delirious, how can a normal citizen of the Eastern Kingdom speak ill of the Elf King?"
Tianxian frowned involuntarily, and the old fisherman Wang showed his mouth, and actually closed his mouth again, if he couldn't impress him, I was afraid that no matter what he did, he wouldn't be able to make him speak.
"Old gentleman......"
The old fisherman king interrupted the day first, shook his head and said, "I am tired and weak...... I want to sleep for a while. β
As he spoke, the old fisherman king looked at Tianxian with pleading eyes, "Is it okay?"
Tian Xian was helpless, "Okay, old man, you have just recovered, so naturally you need to rest more." We will now escort you back to the Fisherman's settlement, and we are here to welcome you if you have anything to say to us before you arrive. β
The old fisherman king nodded, "Thank you, thank you very much......"
The crowd was very disappointed. The old fisherman king was about to confide something, but at the critical moment he shrank back.
Tianxian wanted to get up and prepare to arrange tonight's night duty, but found that the four girls were sitting on the side, looking at the old fisherman king with a pair of flashing eyes, the old fisherman king felt this kind of gaze, he had lowered his eyelids and wanted to sleep, he squinted, and silently looked at the four girls.
"What's wrong?" asked Tian Xian softly.
"Brother Tian, the concubine still wants to say a few words to him. β
Tianxian looked at the old fisherman king with a dignified face, and couldn't help but remind the four girls. "He's tired, he's just regained his senses, you see......"
Tian Xian knew very well that among all the people present, he was ruthless in his methods, neither the angry Luna, nor the proficient torturer Guli, but this bewitching face. The four girls who seem to be weak and can't help the wind.
The old fisherman king's old bones can't withstand the rectification of the four girls.
"Brother Tian, rest assured. The concubine has a number of physical and mental figures. β
Tianxian nodded and gently squeezed her little hand, "Go ahead." β
The four girls came to the place where Tianxian was sitting just now, sat down gently, and smiled at the old fisherman king.
The old fisherman's expression instantly became extremely vigilant, and a pair of eyes hidden under his eyelids reflected a cautious light.
"Old sir. You can call me four girls, I'm ......"
The fourth girl hesitated when she said this, and then Tianxian's hands fell on her shoulders, "She is my wife." β
The four girls' eyes twitched twice, trying their best to calm themselves. However, her cheeks were still a little red with excitement, which made her look even more seductive.
The old fisherman king didn't have the time to be intoxicated by the bewitching face and sultry posture of the four girls, and the defensive color in his eyes was even stronger, "You just said that I can rest......"
The fourth girl hurriedly cleaned up her mood and smiled indifferently, but her eyes pierced the eyes of the old fisherman king, "If you want to sleep, then don't pay attention to us now, but what we want to talk about now is about the future of the fisherman clan." β
The old fisherman's eyes gradually showed excitement, "You...... Threaten me?"
Tian Xian also felt strange when he heard it, and couldn't help but gently pinch the four girls' bony shoulders.
The fourth girl was unaware and said, "No, even if you don't reveal a word, Brother Tian will send you back to the fisherman's settlement, and then you won't stay, leave quickly, and our guarantee will not change anything." β
The old fisherman's eyes became puzzled, "Little girl, what do you want to say?"
"Brother Tian, sit down. The four girls happily pulled Tianxian to her side and sat down, Tianxian was confused, so she had to sit there and look at the old fisherman king in a daze.
"This young man is the oracle that the Elven King is looking for. The four girls introduced it bluntly.
Tian Xian's face was hot, the name of this divine envoy has been blown for a long time, but now it is not clear what the real divine envoy is, but it has been blown too much, and Tian Xian feels that he is already half a real divine envoy.
At that moment, Tian Xian nodded directly, and unceremoniously told the old fisherman king with his eyes: I am the messenger of God!
"Oracle?"
The old fisherman king's eyes did not fluctuate in the slightest, but the corners of his mouth showed a faint look of disdain, "I have heard of this name a long time ago, Gabe has just told me what has happened in the forest over the years, and now many humans have come to the Eastern Kingdom, and each of them seems to be a divine envoy. β
The fourth girl raised her eyebrows, "Yes, but our purpose is different from theirs, their purpose is the ancient ruins mentioned by the Elf King, and our purpose is ...... It is to investigate the secrets of the Black Corner. β
"It makes no difference to us, human!" the old fisherman king bit the last word "human" very clearly.
The fourth girl's eyes moved slightly, and there was a strange sharpness in her eyes, "Not every human being will be as kind to aliens as Brother Tian, and the fisherman should be glad that he met Brother Tian, not other humans who came to plunder the secret treasures of the ruins." β
"The fisherman is never afraid of any enemy!" the old fisherman king's voice was not high, but he was full of backbone.
"A true warrior knows how to defeat his enemies, and at the same time, he should know how to cherish his friends. β
The eyes of the four girls locked on the eyes of the old fisherman king, as if they wanted to dig out what he was thinking from those eyes, "Humanity has entered the Eastern Kingdom in a big way, and there is a first time. There will be a second ...... You should understand the greed of mankind, the Eastern Kingdom is certainly dangerous for humans, but at the same time it is a huge treasure trove. β
Saying that, the fourth girl glanced at the Fisherman King, "Do you know what the price of a fisherman's skin is in the human world?"
The Fisherman King was furious when he heard this, "What did you say?"
The old fisherman king grabbed him. looked at the four girls with a solemn expression, "Go on......"
One day by her side, the four girls were not afraid of the Fisherman King at all, and said indifferently: "Human beings have always felt that the Eastern Kingdom is a dangerous place that cannot be set foot on, but this is an opportunity, a large number of adventurers poured into the Eastern Kingdom, and the final result is that only a few people, or no one has obtained the so-called secret treasure of the Elf King, but there will inevitably be many people who have plundered a lot of the wealth of the Eastern Kingdom and returned to the human continent." And get rich overnight. β
And then ...... More humans will flock here. β
Seeing the old fisherman's face change little by little, the fourth girl asked, "Do you know how many people there are in an ordinary human city?"
There was no need for the old fisherman king to answer, and the fourth girl said, "Probably hundreds of thousands." β
"Dozens...... Hundreds of thousands?" the Fisherman King was shocked, this number was simply unimaginable for the fishermen, and their entire clan had only a population of tens of thousands in its heyday.
"And large cities have a population of millions and can even exceed 10 million in the capital of the country, not to mention the number of adventurers, just the weapons built by humans. That's enough to fill every inch of the Fisherman's territory, and every weapon is several times stronger and sharper than your spears. β
"And we. And Brother Tian can provide you with powerful protection at that time. β
Hearing this, Tian Xian thought to himself, how could this be possible! He almost opened his mouth to ask, but fortunately, he held back in time and continued to pretend to be a matter of course.
"Shelter?" said the old fisherman king, "We actually need human shelter?"
"You probably don't need to. But the other fishermen ......," the four girls sighed.
The old fisherman's eyes trembled slightly, and there was a little more strange look in his eyes.
"Old man!" the fourth girl looked at the old fisherman king with sincere eyes, "Humanity is about to flood into the Eastern Kingdom, and you have personally experienced the changes in the Eastern Kingdom, and this change will continue. We may not be oracles, but we have our own mission, and if we can get something of value, we can make sure that the fishermen are protected from mutations. β
The old fisherman's expression seemed a little loose.
"We can be trusted, the core tribe of the Lion Man Tribe, the Stone Axe Tribe, has chosen to follow us, old man, please trust us. β
Tianxian was secretly surprised, and the old fisherman king did seem to be a little shaken, but ...... That didn't seem to be enough to impress him.
The fourth girl also discovered this.
"Old man, and...... It was the Elven High Priest who guided us here, and you should consider this carefully. The fourth girl accentuated her tone, "She told us that we can find the Elven King's gift here!"
At the mention of the Elf King, the old Fisherman's expression tightened again.
"The master can control the Kuroshio!"
Suddenly, Gamina's head popped up to the side, and she said something as if she were in reply, and then ran away like a gust of wind.
Tianxian and the four girls were stunned, they didn't expect Gamina to suddenly run over at this time, Tianxian noticed something, and looked back, Luna was smiling at this side not far away, nodding and stroking Gamina's head with satisfaction.
And this brainless sentence made the Fisherman King and the old Fisherman King, father and son, all stay there.
"Black ...... Kuroshio!?" the old fisherman king squeezed the word out of his throat with difficulty
After the four girls were stunned, they suddenly realized for a moment, and said in a solemn voice: "Yes, Brother Tian stopped the black tide, and the lion man chose to follow Brother Tian, maybe we are not oracles, but ...... But it has enough power to change something!"
The old fisherman's eyes fell in an instant, and his body was decadently nested in a fur cushion, as if he had suddenly aged a lot.
"Old man, you ...... It's time to think about the future. The fourth aunt said in a low voice.
The old fisherman interrupted the four girls with a weak wave of his hand, and said in a weak voice, "Gabe, you go and take care of the others." β
The Fisherman King was stunned, "Father?"
"Go!" ordered the old fisherman king in an unquestioning tone.
The fisherman king didn't dare to disobey, so he had to nod, looked at Tianxian and the four girls with complicated eyes, and turned to leave.
Wait for the Fisherman King to leave. The old fisherman Wang raised his weak gaze and smiled, full of desolation, "Little girl, how do you know that I am going to die?"
This sentence surprised Tianxian when he was treating the old fisherman king just now. Obviously confirmed his condition, although he was weak, at least he was still healthy, and he would not die soon. β
"Because you have a dead look in your eyes, and look at the Fisherman King's gaze with reluctance, the concubine has heard that the old fisherman will know when he will die, and leave healthy. β
The old fisherman king smiled hard, "You're not very old. I know a lot, we fishermen and humans never interact with each other, you can know the habits of our fishermen, I'm afraid...... Something to do with your experience, right?"
The corners of the fourth girl's eyes moved slightly, "What does the old gentleman think the concubine has experienced?"
The old fisherman king sighed, "In this world, there is no more crazy life than humans, although the Eastern Kingdom is cruel. But a child of your age would never have such a cold and merciless look in your eyes. β
The four girls were silent. Myself...... It's just that his eyes are cold and ruthless, and he doesn't even know if he will continue like this in the future.
The old fisherman king looked up at the dark sky and muttered: "Perhaps, this is also the reason why human beings are strong, we fishermen can live for hundreds of years, but my son, who is about to be a hundred years old, cannot understand the words of a human teenager at all." Hehehe......"
After struggling to sit up in the fur cushion, the old fisherman king turned his gaze to Tianxian and showed a kind smile, "Child, you are very good...... Your eyes. Reminds me of my dead son, clean, peaceful ......"
Tian Xian was stunned, and touched his nose embarrassedly, "Uh...... Thank you, thank you......"
The old fisherman king continued with some envy: "But he is too naΓ―ve and died in vain, you are very good...... You still have strength and courage in your eyes, it's good, it's really good...... Although, somewhat cunning. β
Tianxian simply blushed......
Smacking his lips, the old fisherman king began to look like a frail old man, "You guys...... Can it really bring shelter to fishermen?"
Tian Xian can't answer a little, I'm afraid this is difficult, because he will no longer be in the Eastern Kingdom by then.
This time, the four girls didn't speak.
The old fisherman king smiled faintly, "I understand, this is impossible...... However, I hope that you will shelter the fishermen in another way, and I don't want us to become displaced like the Tide Crocodile. β
The fourth girl bit her lower lip, "Old man, if possible, we will definitely do it." β
The old fisherman king glanced at the four girls, and suddenly snorted, "You are too cunning, I won't tell you, and ......"
His eyes walked around the four girls twice, and the old fisherman king snorted again: "You are not the kind of ...... I like"
The four girls stayed there for a moment, and then black clouds began to accumulate on their faces......
Tianxian is now clear, this treacherous and cunning old fisherman king, when he was young, I am afraid that he was a full playboy, and he likes plump women, Gu Li is so beautiful, slender and plump woman is naturally a direct saliva for him to see, compared to other old fisherman kings disdain......
This old man is not ashamed! In the final analysis, it is still this virtue! Tian Xian couldn't help but curse secretly.
Although the fourth girl was very cautious and serious, Tianxian was still afraid that she would go up and knock on the old fisherman's bag again, so she took the first step to hold her little hand, and then said to the old fisherman: "Old man, you have something to say to me." β
The old fisherman king's expression was a lot more serious, and his eyes showed a little doubt, "You...... Can you control the Kuroshio?"
"This ...... You can't say control, but you can stop it. β
The old fisherman king's cloudy old eyes burst out with astonishing brilliance, and he stared at those eyes for a while before he slowly returned to his old state, "Human beings who can stop the black tide...... Oracle, hehe...... The Elven King must not have thought of it. β
"Sir, do you have any secrets hidden about the Elven King? β
"Elf King......" the old fisherman king frowned deeply, "he is the source of everything...... He's a demon!"
Seeing Tianxian's confused face, the old fisherman king asked, "There have been many abnormal changes in the Eastern Kingdom over the years, do you know why?"
I was stunned for a moment, thinking to myself that of course I know that the gods are reconnecting with this world through various means, and their power is constantly recovering, and many people are affected by this powerful power, and regret it. These forces do not benefit people, but they drive more people into madness.
Tianxian shook his head, "I don't particularly know. β
"But the Elven King knew it. The old fisherman gritted his teeth, "He knows better than anyone else!
"Sir, why do you keep saying he's a demon?"
The old fisherman king became excited, "Because he is! I saw his appearance! that ugly and horrible appearance! so! so ...... I've become like that, too. β
Tianxian was very surprised. "Sir, you ...... You mean, don't the Elven King ......?"
The old fisherman's eyes flashed with fear again, "I saw it, at the triennial gathering of tribal leaders, his dark and stout body, his claws and fangs, and the pair of horns, which are the horns of demons......!
Tianxian and the four girls were surprised and a little speechless.
Has the Elven King gone mad?
But if that's the case. This news can't be covered up no matter what, why hasn't there been any news, and the elf king made a prophecy not long ago, and personally sent someone to the human continent to find the divine envoy!
"Do you think I'm crazy?" the old fisherman king sneered and looked at Tianxian.
"Sir, I just don't quite understand, if the Elf King becomes like that, then why doesn't anyone know?
"Definitely. Elves are very different from fishermen, and fishermen are only small tribes. No one noticed, a few years after I went berserk, the news was still blocked, but the elf tribe was concerned by everyone, and if the elf king went berserk, the news would be exposed the next day. β
The old fisherman king still sneered. "But what if he wasn't mad at ......all? Is that what it looks like?"
"This ...... How is this possible?" Tian Xian couldn't believe it, "The Elf King can't be a monster! The Elven Inheritance is very hidden and tight, and there will definitely be no accidents!"
The old fisherman king shook his head, "It's not that the demon is disguised as the Elven King. It's the Elven King himself, the demon!"
The old fisherman king lowered his gaze and lowered his voice a lot, "I don't know, I don't know if the elf king was originally like that, or if he was cursed, but I saw it with my own eyes, and when I saw his appearance, I was scared, I tried my best to escape, but I still couldn't escape from his palm." β
After taking two deep breaths, the old fisherman king still looked very frightened of that memory, "I am cursed, and I dare not publicize this matter without permission, it will bring ruin to the fisherman clan...... When I returned, I was in great pain, and I realized that I was beginning to become strange, that there was a demon that was encroaching on my mind and body, and as a last resort, I closed my mind with the secret method of the fisherman, and when I woke up again...... Now is the time. β
For the words of the old fisherman king, Tian Xian didn't know if he should believe it, because it was really a bit amazing.
The elf king cursed the old fisherman king, and the old fisherman king went crazy, if so, then wouldn't the elf king master the existence of the power of the gods?
"Sir, can you ...... Can you elaborate on that?"
"I know you don't believe it, but after I say it, you can ask the elf girl, she's the daughter of the high priest, and she knows if what I'm saying is true or not!"
"Listen...... You'd better not tell lies!" Luna's voice drifted in with a wisp of wind.
The old fisherman king showed such a look and said: "There is a temple in the main city of the elf clan, which is a place that the high priest and the elf king have the right to enter, where it is said that you can communicate with the moon god and obtain the revelation of the gods, and that place is regarded as a temple by the elves!"
"On the day of the tribal meeting, the high priest presided over the meeting, and the elven king only showed his face and left, he has always been so arrogant, everyone is used to it, but our water tribe has never relied on elves very much, and naturally we don't respect it too much, that day I suddenly wanted to go to the temple to have a look. β
"There was a pool in the center of the temple that connected the river inside and outside the city, and I had surveyed it a few years ago and knew how to get in, and that day I swam down the river into the temple, and there should have been no one there at that time, because even the elven king and the high priest had to perform a ritual to show respect for the gods. β
"The temple is beautiful, there are eleven reliefs on the walls, all about the moon god, it is really a beautiful woman, and there I met the elven king......" the old fisherman king endured. But still horrified, "He stood on the altar by the water's edge, took off his clothes, and his thin body began to swell, and his hair grew wildly, and two long black horns grew. Claws, teeth...... That's the devil!"
"I wanted to escape, but I was discovered, I heard him jump into the water to chase me, but he was obviously not good at water fighting, and he dodged a few cold energy shocks, I thought I escaped, but...... When I went ashore, I found that black runes appeared on my body, and it was as cold as ice!"
As he spoke, the old fisherman king slowly raised his arm. "It's faint, but it's still visible. β
Tian Xian took a closer look at the old fisherman's arm, and there was indeed a faint rune on his skinny arm, but it looked a little weird.
"Can I write it down?"
The old fisherman king laughed self-deprecatingly, "If you like it, I can give you this skin after I die." β
"Uh...... Don't talk about such horrible things. Tian Xian hurriedly took out a pen and paper, and quickly recorded all the runes on the old fisherman king's body, including the runes and lines on his chest and back and on his other arm.
Bring these weird runes and patterns together. In an instant, it became a complete formation.
But I can't understand it for a while.
"Kid, can you understand this kind of thing?" the old fisherman king looked at the formation carefully. With a thoughtful look in his eyes, he couldn't help asking.
"I don't fully understand, I need to study it!"
"Oh......" A flash of brilliance flashed in the old fisherman's eyes, "This is a very ancient rune, I didn't expect a human child to understand it, I have more confidence in my choice." β
"Old sir. Is there anything else you can tell us?"
The old fisherman king slowly raised his hand, gently put it on Tian Xian's shoulder, and said with a helpless smile: "The Eastern Kingdom has been ruled by elves for thousands of years, and no race has the ability to fight against elves. And now, the Elven King wants to destroy us, I don't have the strength to fight anymore, I can only choose to believe in you, please let the fishermen survive this turmoil!"
Tian Xian's eyes were firm, "Old man, I came here to let more races survive in the turmoil, and I will definitely do my best to protect the fisherman race!"
The old fisherman king nodded reassuringly, "The fisherman is a weak race, but it is still very useful at times, and besides, we have always been generous to our friends......"
"I understand what you mean, old sir. β
"Okay, good ......," the old fisherman king let out a long sigh of relief, "my son, the current fisherman king is not yet mature...... He didn't even look at the woman, and I knew he wasn't up to the task. β
Tianxian and the four girls looked sluggish......
"Perhaps, it is a fate for me to meet you at this time, or ...... Just an arrangement. The old fisherman king slowly closed his eyes, and his voice became weaker, "Remember...... It was the High Priest who brought you here...... Remember ......"
Tianxian couldn't believe it, and the old fisherman king died like this.
Lying peacefully in a fur cushion, he died peacefully.
The fisherman knew that he would die a healthy death, and he finally understood what this meant.
The old fisherman king walked peacefully, and the fisherman king wept bitterly, wrapped his father's body in fur, and planned to send it back to the funeral of the giant fisherman king in the settlement.
Tianxian and his party also returned to the settlement and participated in this simple but solemn funeral.
The corpse of the old fisherman king was decorated and sent into the depths of the deepest river, where it drifted away...... This is the destination of every fisherman's king.
Before sending his father away, there were fishermen making trouble in the relocation of the Xikou clan, and the fisherman king immediately rushed over, leaving Tianxian and his party to decide the future route.
The old fisherman's deathbed entrustment gave Tianxian an extra responsibility, and this clansman was also very delicate.
Although the old fisherman king asked Tianxian to try his best to protect the fisherman clan and gave Tianxian enough information, he did not tell the fisherman king about it, and the fisherman king did not know anything about it, only that his father talked a lot with Tianxian when he was dying.
This responsibility is one-way, more like a transaction between the old fisherman king and Tianxian, the old fisherman king is dead, and the fisherman clan becomes a pure beneficiary.
"He's a good fisherman. After Tian Xian explained everything, Tu Ge said in a deep voice.
Tian Xian nodded, I have to say that the old fisherman king, whether as a leader or as a father, has fulfilled his greatest responsibility.
"Now the situation has changed, in the news that the old fisherman king has given us, the situation of the elf king is very suspicious, and we may have to make some adjustments to the plan of going to the elf king. β
Tianxian set his eyes on Luna.
Luna nodded first, "What the old fisherman king said should be true, because he knows that there are eleven reliefs in the temple, all of which are about the moon god, so he did go to the temple. β
Gamina leaned close to Luna and shook her ears in confusion, "Sister Luna, but Gamina heard that there are twelve reliefs in the Elven Temple!
Luna smiled faintly, "Indeed, it was originally like this, although the temple can also be entered by the Elven King, but in terms of duties, it is the temple of the high priest, so the only relief in it that is not the moon god is about her, to show the affirmation of her ability to communicate with the moon god." β
"But......" a cold look in Luna's eyes, "one day, an angry elf broke into the temple and destroyed the relief representing the high priest, and everything in the temple was under the will of the moon god, and no one dared to repair it, so now there must have been only eleven reliefs, of course...... Outsiders absolutely don't know about this, huh...... And the elf, who was later removed from the elf clan. β
Everyone looked at Luna dumbfounded.
Luna looked left and right, glaring, "Look at the old lady what am I doing? I'm just saying that the stinky fish is true!"
Tian Xian hurriedly said: "In this way, the Elf King has really gone crazy!"
"Who knows!" Luna rolled her eyes nonchalantly.
The fourth girl said, "Now, if you are sure that the words of the old fisherman king are true, then ...... It looks like we're going to have to change our plans. β
Luna frowned slightly, and put her arm around the fourth girl's shoulder, "What are you thinking about this little head full of ghost ideas? Aren't we going to see the Elven King? No one else knows where the relic treasure is!"
"No, we still have to get closer to the elven territory, but the target is no longer the elven king. The four girls stared at Luna, "It's the High Priest." β
"What...... What?, what are you going to do to meet that woman?", Luna yelled.
"Within the elven race, it is likely that it has been divided. (To be continued.) )
