Chapter 50 Two chapters combined into one "The attitude is too frivolous." ...
Just when Xia Xifeng was thinking about what to do, Qin Lang sent a message to Xia Xifeng.
Qin Lang: [He hopes we can help him find an excuse to inform the Sun God about the Sea God.]
Xia Xifeng looked at Singer, but couldn't see the information that Qin Lang saw from the look behind Singer's gold-rimmed glasses.
But Qin Lang's analysis is definitely correct.
Although Qin Lang likes to pretend to be cold and dull, he is actually very good at judging people.
Or perhaps it was because he was so good at seeing through other people's "hidden meanings" at a glance that he increasingly refused to socialize, or told Xia Xifeng other people's hidden meanings and let Xia Xifeng handle the socializing.
For example, now.
Xia Xifeng asked seriously, "Does the Bishop know about the evil god incident in Green Sand City?"
Singer pushed his glasses up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "I know."
He thought he needed to hint a few more times. Did they realize his intention, or was it just a coincidence?
Following the in-game NPC rituals of worshipping the gods, Xia Xifeng made a prayer gesture before mentioning the gods. Then, he said, "The respected Lord of Amuruo City has sent knights to inform the other great gods of this matter. This matter is extremely serious, and we need to personally inform the gods of the cause and effect."
As a side note, this ritual of worshipping the gods is a custom of the in-game NPCs. After Xia Xifeng's time traveling, not only had he seen Mr. Amuruo and Mr. Sur perform it, but even Pereira and Leo, the two favored by the gods, didn't have this custom.
However, in front of the Lord of Freeport who also serves as the bishop, Xia Xifeng's respectful attitude towards the gods won Singer's favor.
Singh's attitude was slightly exposed as he answered. He looked embarrassed, but he said in a persuasive tone, "For this reason alone, our great Lord may still be reluctant to understand irrelevant matters."
It’s irrelevant…
Xia Xifeng recalled the character of the Sea God in the game and said sincerely, "The Sun God is in urgent need of the great Sea God's help."
Qin Lang couldn't help but look up and glance at the sun.
Although there were no Leo and Pereira to act as messengers, perhaps because Qin Lang's strength had improved and his intuition had become sharper, he always felt that when Xia Xifeng said this, a bored god who was recovering from his injuries expressed his dissatisfaction.
Singh really wanted to hear something to that effect.
But the words are so blunt, isn't the little knight worried that the other gods will be angry?
Singh looked at the knight's clear eyes and guessed that it was possible that the knight was just ignorant.
But it was just a bad word from an ordinary person, and the gods probably wouldn't care. After all, not all gods were as stingy as his own, and the gods weren't so idle as to listen to every mortal's words.
Otherwise, when the sea dwellers encounter a naturally occurring tsunami and point their fingers at the sea and curse, their own gods will have already become furious and shout, "I am only in charge of the "rules" of the entire ocean. The waves and tides are all naturally formed and have nothing to do with me!!!"
"Since the situation is urgent, I will contact my great lord immediately. Please wait for a few days, knights." Singer said in the tone of a pious bishop while criticizing his lord.
Xia Xifeng's tone was filled with gratitude: "Thank you for troubling me, Bishop."
"No trouble. This is what a clergyman serving the gods should do." After ending his role as "bishop", Singh returned to his role as lord and discussed trade matters with the other two young lords.
When Xia Xifeng launched the "cheap magic device", other places were still watching, and the lords of the Free Alliance all trusted Amuruo's vision.
Even if they did not trust Xia Xifeng, the little knight who suddenly appeared, they only suspected that this batch of magic devices came from Sur and the half-elves, and were just using the guise of an ordinary human little knight.
They also suspected that it was possible that the two ordinary human knights were not necessarily behind Sur and Amuruo, but the young Son of the Sun God.
Although the City of Hope has not been given the title of a holy city, it has been revered as an actual holy city by the Sun God Cult.
Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang are nominally the lords of the City of Hope, but in fact they are just managers like the "city lords" of other holy cities.
However, even if they are just managers and a front pushed to the surface, it can prove that they are deeply trusted by Amuruo and the two sons of the sun god.
Once Singh transforms into lord mode, he immediately becomes very materialistic.
He warmly welcomed Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang, treating them like his close nephews. But when bargaining, he would calculate every penny with them.
All of Xia Xifeng's business skills were acquired while trading with other players while playing games. Compared with Singer, the cunning and treacherous businessman, they are completely inadequate.
Although Qin Lang has a high IQ, doing business requires more experience. He can only help Xia Xifeng avoid falling into traps, and he is powerless in the tug-of-war over interests.
The two young business newbies were miserably bullied by the cunning big businessmen. Luckily, Singer wasn't a bad person, and with Green Sand City backing Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang, Singer was essentially doing business with Green Sand City, so he didn't dare to go too far. Overall, the deal was done within Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang's bottom line.
Then again, Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang are pretty stupid businessmen since their bottom line can be tested by others.
When Singh returned home, he couldn't help laughing and smiled at his wife for a long time.
Madam Katie pinched the back of Singh's hand. "Don't go too far. My sister, who married into Green Sand City, told me that Xia is Mr. Sur's disciple. Lord Amuruo may not mind you bullying the younger generation, but you should understand Mr. Sur's true race. He's very protective of his people."
Singh smiled and said, "I understand, that's why I didn't bully him too harshly."
Mrs. Katie said helplessly: "There are also matters of the gods. Is it really okay to go against my Lord's will like this?"
Singh dropped his smile.
He took off his glasses and pinched his nose. "I originally thought my lord was merely being provoked by the evil god who was trying to replace him. It was just a small inconvenience, and my lord would never lose. But a new holy city has appeared in this world, and perhaps the situation is more serious than I imagined. Since Amuruo is actively participating in the dispute between the gods, I need to gather more intelligence for my lord."
"There hasn't been a new holy city in this world for over a thousand years."
…
As soon as he was bullied, Xia Xifeng complained to Su Er.
That Singer is so annoying!
Su Er said lovingly, "Do you need me to warn him?"
Xia Xifeng immediately shook his head: "No, no, if I always rely on the teacher, I won't be able to grow."
After getting familiar with him, Xia Xifeng finally climbed up the pole and was able to directly call Su Er "teacher".
Sur originally believed that there should be no "strong bond" between the two prophets.
"A friendly name" is a very mysterious curse. When he is caught by fate, it may implicate Xia Xifeng.
But Xia Xifeng insisted. After praying to the Heavenly Father, Su Er accepted the master-disciple relationship with Xia Xifeng.
Amuruo then accepted Qin Lang as his disciple.
Leo was proud for a long time and kept pestering Qin Lang to call him senior brother.
Suer didn't know why the Heavenly Father had broken the custom of "no specific relationship between prophets." Anyway, he just had to listen to the Heavenly Father's oracle.
Su Er comforted Xia Xifeng with a few words, and then the two of them talked about business.
"Is the situation with the Sea God also very bad? Alas." Su Er's eyes were full of fatigue.
Amuruo rubbed Sul's brows and introduced the Sea God to Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang on his behalf.
Although Xia Xifeng may have learned about the Sea God from the "prophecy", different perspectives can allow Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang to understand more about the Sea God.
By the way, he also analyzed with Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang the current situation where the gods were fighting each other.
The character of the Sea God is the same as what Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang knew in the game, that is, even if He has lost His entire deity, He still has a mouth left.
Xia Xifeng's response this time was correct.
"The last war between gods was more than a thousand years ago. For mortals, a thousand years is a long time; for gods, a thousand years is not enough to eliminate the suspicion and hatred among them." Amuruo looked a little tired when talking about the last war between gods.
The reputations of Amuruo and Sur did not appear in the war of gods a thousand years ago, and almost everyone thought they were the "new bosses" who had only appeared in the last few hundred years.
But seeing how they got nervous when the war of gods was mentioned, Xia Xifeng guessed that the teacher and Mr. Amuruo’s busiest “world-saving” business trip might be during this war of gods.
"God" is eternal and unchanging, but "God"'s personality will change.
No matter how the world has changed before, it is all in this world created by God.
The gods, like all mortal creatures on earth, are not natural allies. They also fight among themselves.
Moreover, they are more arrogant than mortals and believe more in their own strength - if they don’t even believe in their own strength, they might as well give the throne to others.
So when facing evil gods who try to usurp the throne, some gods sit on the mountain and watch the fight, some gods fan the flames, and some gods are simply the masterminds behind the scenes.
If Shuangri was not a rare god who had never been replaced since his birth, was knowledgeable and favored by the Heavenly Father, and knew a little about the secrets of the "prophet", they would not have given their trust completely to Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang and cooperated with their actions.
But even if they got a glimpse of the secret, they would not dare to share the situation directly with other gods.
Because the other gods do not know the severity of the invasion of the "Outer Gods".
They don't even believe that "outer gods" can invade.
The Heavenly Father cannot tell them directly, otherwise it would be "acknowledging the foreign gods", which would help the foreign gods accelerate their invasion.
Only the creatures of this world can discover the established fact of the "Outer Gods" themselves.
This is similar to the "restrictions" of the Prophet.
In order to avoid being watched by fate as much as possible, the prophets can only act on their own. What the prophets tell outsiders are all things they have "experienced".
For example, Xia Xifeng could only tell others about the blood moon after returning from the dungeon.
Xia Xifeng had fewer restrictions on Amuruo and Sur, who were also prophets and protectors. At least he could tell them that Blood Moon was an Outer God.
Until now, Xia Xifeng has not been able to directly tell others that the evil god is the "Outer God".
Even if he accidentally let something slip, the average person who heard him would not associate this "outside" with the world created by Heavenly Father. He could not emphasize the true meaning of "outside gods."
He would not be able to reveal the truth about the foreign gods until he had obtained sufficient evidence from the "events he had experienced" to prove that the evil god currently causing trouble was not a local god who wanted to usurp the throne as was commonplace.
"Since the Heavenly Father created the world, there has never been a war in which the Heavenly Father personally participated." Sur finally recovered from his exhaustion, and it was obvious that the divine war had taken its toll on him. "You can't just tell the Sea God that his opponent isn't a local deity, but an alien one. This is a war that overturns the rules. No living being can survive defeat, not even a god. You can only guide him to discover this, just as you guide the two suns."
Xia Xifeng asked, "Once He learns the truth, will He take the initiative to unite with other gods?"
Amuruo rolled his eyes. "He will form an alliance with Shuangri, but he will never trust a god who doesn't know the truth. Because the gods themselves know how foolish and arrogant his kind are. If other gods heed his warnings, they will only take advantage of his weakness to attack him. Shuangri dares to expose their weaknesses because they are twin gods. The Day of Hope is injured, but the Day of Birth is not."
Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang had just taken a breath when they learned that beneath the seemingly calm sea surface there were actually turbulent waves. They might have to face the conspiracy and trickery of the foreign gods again. They did not care about adding pressure to Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang, and hurriedly taught the experience of getting along with gods to the younger generation.
Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang were shopping and attending class at the same time.
"This grilled squid is delicious." Xia Xifeng took a bite of his grilled squid, stuffed the grilled squid into Qin Lang's hand, and took the grilled fish head from Qin Lang's hand. "Ugh, what's so delicious about the fish head? It's disgusting!"
Even though Qin Lang had experienced this scene for more than ten years, he still expressed contempt for Xia Xifeng.
The two people's tastes are different most of the time, especially when it comes to choosing snacks.
Xia Xifeng knew that Qin Lang liked to eat snacks but he didn’t, but he would always grab the snacks from Qin Lang’s hand and then say, “Ugh, it’s really not tasty.”
It has been like this for more than ten years, as long as they can remember!
My childhood friend may have had a brain injury when he was little, and he still hasn't recovered. - Qin Lang
After chewing two bites of the charcoal-grilled fish head, Xia Xifeng confirmed again that it had little meat and a light taste and was not tasty at all. He returned the fish head that he had gnawed half of to Qin Lang and snatched back his own charcoal-grilled squid.
"Freeport is so prosperous." Xia Xifeng sighed, "Although the Freeport in the game is also prosperous, there are very few NPCs and many players."
Ordinary NPCs wouldn't dare live by the sea.
When the player first enters the game, Freeport is the only port in the Free Alliance that has not been abandoned.
This was the only port that was not abandoned, but initially no ship could go out to sea.
The widow lord, who was very sarcastic in both appearance and personality, insisted on staying here to build the port, saying that she thought she could make a lot of money this way.
Although she did make a lot of money later, players did not think she had foresight.
Because all this money is earned from players!
Before the Sea God launched a counterattack, the NPCs still did not dare to go out to sea during that long doomsday era.
You can still escape on land, but if you are attacked on the sea, there is nowhere to go.
Today's free port is really bustling with ships, giving it a prosperous atmosphere.
Xia Xifeng purchased a lot of useless new things.
Most cities have a "mail" service.
Xia Xifeng paid the expensive shipping fee and sent the gifts to teachers and friends in Green Sand City, Hope City and Silver Moon City.
In the evening, they were invited by Singh to have dinner at Singh's home.
While shopping, Xia Xifeng was still "scolding" the sarcastic, stingy and greedy female lord in the game with Qin Lang. During dinner, he met her in person.
Mrs. Katie, who has a round oval face, brought out a seafood feast that she cooked herself.
When she learned that Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang had just turned twenty, the plump lady kindly served them some cookies. The cookies were so sweet that it felt like chewing candy.
Xia Xifeng: [Is it the same Mrs. Katie? ]
Qin Lang also observed quietly for a long time before he could barely see a little bit of Katie's shadow in this pampered and kind lady.
Singh also invited his twin daughters to dine together.
The two teenage girls still have scales on their faces and cannot fully control their appearance.
Lady Katie is a member of the Siren family, who have fish tails. Her daughter with Singer is a half-Siren, and although she was born without a fish tail, she has fish scales on her body.
Sirens are creatures that live on the seabed and claim to be creations of the sea god.
They not only have fish tails, but also snake tails or tails of other strange sea creatures.
They are "mermaids", and their fish tails are also various strange deep-sea fish. Players are amazed by the game's art and modeling.
Is this really the Mrs. Katie in the game who is covered in black veil, has high cheekbones, deep eye sockets, and a chin so sharp that it can kill people?
The players had secretly searched everywhere they could go, but they didn't find any portraits related to Mrs. Katie's late husband, nor did they receive any related memory missions.
They only learned from other relevant NPCs that Lady Katie once had a husband and daughter, and her husband Singer was the former lord of Freeport and the bishop of Poseidon.
When Singh first observed the strange black tide in Freeport, he went to the deep sea to investigate and never returned. Since then, Lady Katie has temporarily taken over the position of lord.
When the sea turned completely black, a plague spread among the Sirens, and many weak Sirens and Half-Sirens died. Lady Katie's two daughters also died of the plague.
From the destruction of Freeport to its reconstruction, Mrs. Katie became the real and only owner of Freeport.
Players once wanted to show some sympathy to this lord who was voted as one of the "most hated NPCs by players".
For example, she became like this because she missed her family and hometown.
But the game doesn't reveal any trace of Mrs. Katie missing her family or hometown. She's simply sarcastic, mean, and greedy, and every time she speaks, she talks in a shrill voice about making money and having fun.
She adorned her entire bony body with jewels, and her eyes were always filled with contempt and greed when she looked at the players who were dressed strangely and behaved rudely.
"You are so young, and you have to be a messenger? It's really hard work." Mrs. Katie's voice was very soft and her tone was very slow, with a magic that made people feel calm.
Singer's gold-rimmed glasses were replaced with black-rimmed glasses with wider frames, and his meticulous slicked-back hair became a little messy and refreshing, making him look somewhat kind.
Especially when he looks at his two daughters.
"Now that we're done with the business, don't be so vigilant." Singer winked at Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang and chuckled. "From now on, just treat Katie and I as your elders and relax for a few days. Wait until my master replies, and you'll be on your way back to another bumpy and tiring journey."
Mrs. Katie said, "Why don't I just go with them? It's a good opportunity to take my daughter back to the bottom of the sea to play for a while."
Singh's face fell, and the two cute little girls raised their arms and cheered.
The weather is getting warmer and they want to swim, swim freely in the sea!
"Leave me alone?" Singer said in a muffled voice.
Mrs. Katie smiled helplessly and said, "It'll only take a day or two. I'll be right back after I drop the person off."
Singh's expression improved.
He picked up his two daughters again and scratched their cheeks with his stubbled face, making them giggle: "You little heartless ones, you don't want your daddy anymore because the ground is too hot?"
The two little girls laughed and pushed their father's prickly face: "Daddy is always busy, we don't need him."
Singh looked lost again in an instant.
While Singh was interacting with his daughters, Mrs. Katie took care of Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang.
She looked like she was always worried about something, constantly asking Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang to eat more. When Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang expressed their appreciation for a dish, she would smile so proudly that fine lines appeared at the corners of her eyes.
Such a Madam Katie soon made Xia Xifeng no longer remember the original voice and appearance of Lord Katie in the game.
Xia Xifeng: [Mrs. Katie's temperament is a bit like Ron's mother in Harry Potter???]
Qin Lang: [Hmm...]
The two were mentally prepared to face Mrs. Katie, but they didn't expect that their mental preparation was completely wrong.
Who is this person? Is it Lord Katie in the game who's borrowing the real Lady Katie's identity?
The two of them lay in bed, still unable to digest this matter.
Of course, Mrs. Katie was too enthusiastic, and they ate too much. The food in their stomachs was not digested, and they couldn't sleep because of the indigestion.
Xia Xifeng: "Players once wildly speculated that Lord Katie was holding onto Freeport because she missed her family, but it turns out that this wasn't just a wild guess."
Qin Lang: "Yeah."
Xia Xifeng: "Then why is there no information about Lord Katie's family in the game? Didn't she leave a portrait to remind us of her?"
Qin Lang: "Maybe she doesn't dare to look."
Xia Xifeng was silent.
After a while, he tilted his body and nudged Qin Lang with his head: "We must complete the mission of saving the world and return to the moment we first crossed over!"
Qin Lang patted Xia Xifeng's head gently: "Of course you can. Go to sleep."
"Let's ask Singer tomorrow if we can use the library!"
"good."
They closed their eyes and gradually fell asleep.
Outside the window, today's silver moon is a full moon.
The moonlight quietly flowed in through the window, illuminating the bed, which should not have been illuminated by the moonlight, as bright as day.
Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang were awakened by the light.
They both tilted their heads and looked at each other in silence.
Then they both took out their eye masks and put them on their heads, and soon fell asleep again.
The moonlight retreated out of the window very quickly, with a hint of anger and shame.
This abnormal scene was seen by Singh, who was working overtime, and Mrs. Katie, who was cooking a midnight snack for him.
As a senior clergyman, Singh made a sharp analysis: "We previously speculated that Xia and Qin were just a cover for Amuruo, but we might have guessed wrong."
Madam Katie asked, "Could they be the Silver Moon God's favored ones?"
Singer thought for a moment and shook his head. "Although the gods may have more than one 'son of God', Leo and Pereira are indeed the gods' favored ones of the Sun and Silver Moon. Silver Moon may have other gods' favored ones, but they are probably not the gods' favored ones. This is not how the gods treat their favored ones."
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "Your attitude is too frivolous."
"Just like my Lord treats you?" Mrs. Katie couldn't help laughing.
Singer's mouth twitched again.
Precisely because of what Singer had experienced, ordinary people, even ordinary people favored by God, might think that this was a blessing from Silver Moon, but Singer could see at a glance that this was Silver Moon doing bad things.
There is no blessing in the moonlight, it simply increases the brightness.
Although he didn't know how Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang responded, but seeing how quickly the moonlight "crawled" out and the fact that there was no sound coming from the guest bedroom, he knew that Yin Yue had gotten into trouble.
After the war between gods, the gods could no longer easily interfere with the mortal world. It would take a lot of effort for the gods to project their power directly into the mortal world, and they would only use it at critical moments.
But some gods would rather lie down and rest for several days than waste their energy on such boring things.
Singh suffered greatly from this and was unable to become the most devout believer and the most respected person favored by the sea god in the temple.
The reason why Singh rarely goes to the sea (whether on the surface or under the sea) is that the bored sea god will pour bitter sea water into his food every now and then when he arrives at the sea to show that He is really bored.
"Let your daughters stay on shore for a few days," Singer said seriously. "After the sea god issues a new oracle, we'll bring them back to the sea to visit their relatives."
If Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang have a special relationship with Yin Yue, their coming to see the Sea God is probably no small matter.
Are the problems Poseidon is facing more serious than he expected?
