==================
Let’s go back a few hours.
It has been three hours since Lian Yun left, and not a single big frog has swam out. Xiaohong is combing her feathers while accompanying No. 1685.
Suddenly, No. 1685, who had been as calm and unmoved as a mountain, suddenly pounded the ground.
Xiao Hong shuddered, pecked off a feather, and raised her head blankly: "Chi?!"
No. 1685 gritted his teeth and said, "It's been... two hours and no rocks have been caught."
Xiaohong looked at the pitifully few magic crystals in his bamboo basket, and suddenly realized something with a touch of sympathy. It must be so frustrating for a fisherman to catch nothing!
Xiaohong made a move to leave. No. 1685 was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "I'll try again."
Xiaohong stood beside him and watched him cast the rod again with courage.
1685 held the fishing rod tightly, veins popping out on his arms, as if he was struggling with his own confidence.
Suddenly, the buoy caused a small ripple.
Xiaohong looked out and saw a small green thing slipping away quickly from under the buoy. When 1685 raised the fishing rod, the hook was empty again.
"That's it!" 1685 said bitterly.
For the first time as a puppet, he wanted to do something that had nothing to do with him - jump into the water and catch that thing!
Xiao Hong patted his back quickly, her eyelids drooping as she stared at the water: "Ji!"
Try again!
No. 1685 continued casting his rod with an expressionless face, and moved forward silently.
Sure enough, the man and the bird clearly saw that after 1695 hooked the stone, the green color swam towards them quickly from the underwater hole.
I saw a shadow circling the fish hook several times and then swimming back to the cave entrance. The magic crystal then broke away and returned to the bottom of the water.
Now I can see clearly that it is a very small frog. If it was slower and closer to the water surface, Xiaohong's claws would be able to pierce its body.
"Chi!" Xiaohong cried out angrily, but it was too fast.
Hearing the sound of the fishing rod being thrown, Xiaohong turned around and quickly grabbed 1685 who was about to jump into the water.
1685, who was restrained, calmed down a little.
Yes, I can’t jump, I probably can’t swim.
Xiaohong waited for a long time, but the little frog seemed to know that it had been discovered and never appeared again.
Under Xiaohong's protection, No. 1685 caught a full basket of magic crystals and returned just as it was getting dark.
.
The "little frog" they were talking about had never been discovered by Lian Yun or anyone else.
Lian Yun pondered for a few seconds and decided to take Xiaohong and the others to take another look tomorrow.
"Let's go eat first." Lian Yun pointed at the barbecue that Ai Bei specially left for Xiao Hong, "...1685, do you want to eat?"
No. 1685 shook the bamboo basket, put it back on his back, and shook his head expressionlessly: "I don't want to eat. Please take me with you tomorrow."
...What a dedicated fisherman.
After dinner, Gary found Lian Yun and planned to tell her about the "miracle" he knew about.
Gerry also heard this from the elders of his tribe when he was a child. It is said that after the emergence of major races in this world, there were two visits of "God".
No one knows their real names, but they have truly changed the fate of the entire race.
The names of the major races at that time were named after the first god, who was sacred and heroic, and controlled the most magical and powerful magic in history.
He led warriors to expand the territory and drive out monsters, aiming to help people regain their own territory and eliminate all monsters.
But during a battle to eliminate monsters, he died silently.
No one knows what happened at that time. His deeds happened too early and too far away, leaving a blank for future generations.
Many later generations have filled in the blanks based on their own imagination, but Gary feels that those are too unreliable and not worth listening to.
But when it comes to the second God, it is much richer than the first.
He calls himself the "Son of God" and has no name or background.
He has an extremely intelligent brain. Compared to the first one, he likes to plan and calculate, and be a far-sighted commander behind the crowd.
It was he who built the main city and divided the safe activity areas for humans.
He established the Magicians' Guild and balanced the relationship between the Noble Church and the Magicians' Guild.
"He was very powerful. He shared his abilities with those around him and established several branch cities. The mayors of these cities were all children he had taught."
As Gary said this, Lian Yun heard a different tone.
From the lines, it seems that Gerry does not really "respect" this second god.
Facing Lian Yun's doubts, Gary admitted it frankly.
"Because he killed a lot of people."
Indeed, under his plan, people's territory gradually expanded, and after he selflessly contributed his magical knowledge, the number of people in the Magicians' Association increased dramatically, and the magic mastered by humans became increasingly powerful.
At that time, the elves occupied the easternmost forest, and the mermaids governed the western seas. On behalf of humans, he extended invitations and trade agreements to both sides.
But the reality is not as we wish.
The mermaids threw the bodies of the envoys who came to negotiate into the deep sea, completely drawing a line between themselves and the land.
The elves also rejected the human's deal and spread poisonous fog around the edge of the forest, preventing monsters and other races from approaching.
No one knew what happened in the middle. When everyone came to their senses, they found that the "Son of God" they worshipped and respected had issued an order for all magicians and ordinary humans to unite, take up magic wands, put on armor and attack the two races.
He didn't know how he persuaded the leaders of the orcs and the dwarves. The orcs opened the way for them and fought for them; the dwarves made the most powerful weapons and the most solid defensive equipment for them behind the front line.
The two major races were forced to fight, and the result was that both sides suffered losses. The "Son of God" did not lead humans to defeat the two major races, and the other side did not compromise at all.
This inexplicably provoked war completely destroyed the plan to rebuild their homeland that had just begun to take off.
The two most mysterious races no longer participated in the fight against monsters.
"Not long after, the main city was in turmoil, and the second one disappeared in the chaos of war. Without a backbone, the continent was once again in turmoil, and it was not until a hundred years ago that it found signs of balance."
Gerry sighed, "Overall, while God's coming certainly makes everyone happy, the ending isn't entirely perfect."
"So if you truly feel God's calling, I hope you will seize the opportunity. We will also do our best to support you."
Lian Yun was immersed in the story and felt a little confused.
So this world has a history of at least thousands of years?
The girl's gaze shifted to the wrinkled face of the old man in front of her.
Yes, Gary is much older than himself, and he has his own experiences just like the world.
Even though she had been here for a long time, she always felt that everything was so unreal.
It's like falling into a bizarre dream.
As she entered the dream, the town and she suddenly appeared, the light expanded outward, and the whole world gradually became bright.
But reality told her otherwise.
This is a warm and living continent that existed before her and will not disappear with her departure...
No.
Lian Yun suddenly thought of the task given to him by the system - to save the world.
"Isn't the continent getting better now? And everyone has been cheated by 'God' so many times, do we still need to believe in 'God'?" Lian Yun asked softly.
Gerry seemed to be weighing the pros and cons, and after a long moment he said, "My lord, I don't think so."
"On the surface, new cities are being built one after another. But did you know? The yield of our village's parsnips has plummeted many years ago," Gerry said solemnly. "It's not just our village. Garin has reported that crops across the continent have experienced widespread yield declines."
"This is not a good sign. When intelligent species face a survival crisis and monsters begin to develop intelligence, what will be the outcome?"
Monsters give birth to wisdom?
Lian Yun's mind flashed by the camel beast named "Kui Kui" that she was still raising, and her pet Xiaobai who was growing up rapidly.
And today Xiaohong said that she planned to see the "little frog" with her own eyes.
During the millennia when the continent was occupied by monsters, people have shown their strongest desire to survive. Even so, it is very difficult to pursue a stable existence.
What would happen if monsters began to develop intelligence?
