Become a god from scratch

Chapter 87 The Power of [Glibness]
The servants that Lin Xuan was referring to were naturally the toad people in Toad King Town, and this was also how they defined themselves.

In fact, the reason why toad people worship the Toad King is itself a special symbiotic relationship.

Old soil is dangerous.

Lin Xuan knew this when he first learned about the old land.

But at that time he didn't know what this danger meant. Even after he went to the Forgotten Wasteland, he still didn't fully understand it.

If the danger of the old land only refers to the humanoids who have forgotten the wasteland, then it is actually not dangerous at all to the Earth Origin Star today.

Those "monsters" such as ogres in the Forgotten Wasteland may be a bit troublesome for ordinary people, and may even be fatal to many extraordinary people who have not reached the level of generals.

But today's Diyuan Star has ushered in the extraordinary era for nearly a hundred years. Not to mention the general-level warriors, there are also many commander-level warriors.

With the existence of such powerful extraordinary beings, what are some mere minions-level monsters?

As for the major forces of the Old Land itself, as well as other more terrifying extraterritorial civilizations, conflicts would not be easy to arise as long as they were not provoked.

In the old land, although it is said that those who are not of one's race must have different hearts, unless it is necessary, generally no one will take the initiative to attack other ethnic groups.

Just like there are many alien adventurers in Toad King Town, under normal circumstances the Toad People will not do anything to them.

But if the old land was really so peaceful, the process of land reclamation for the countries on the Earth Origin Star would not have been so difficult. They might even have been forced to stop land reclamation and focus on guarding the currently stable areas.

The reason is that there are various "disasters" in the old land.

Wherever there are living creatures, there will be some unknown "disasters" every once in a while. It may be a disaster caused by a strange beast that suddenly goes crazy, or an inexplicable conflict with other living creatures, or even a shocking natural disaster, or even some disasters involving mysterious realms...

The scale of the 'disaster' is related to the number of living beings in the gathering place.

The larger the gathering place, the more dangerous the "disaster" it encounters, and in order to deal with these "disasters", one must have enough power.

After learning about this situation, Diyuanxing also thought about whether it could be dealt with by dispersing gathering places.

But later, probably because they knew some secrets, the powerful still chose to build their own main cities in the old land. However, due to the differences in their respective strengths, the number of main cities they could protect was also different.

Lin Xuan only learned about these things in Li Qiao's class.

The scale of Chanwang Town is slightly larger than that of Nanmu Town, and the toad people living here are much more numerous than the Taixia people in Nanmu Town.

Although Mayor Duanmu Ci has always had hidden strength, his apparent strength is equivalent to that of a mid-level warrior-level creature in the old land, which is why he was sent by his superiors to be the mayor of Nanmu Town.

Because only with this strength can one be qualified to guard a gathering place of the size of Nanmu Town.

The scale of Chanwang Town is larger than that of Nanmu Town, and it has more residents than Nanmu Town, so naturally it requires a more powerful force to guard it.

But it is obvious that among the toad people that Lin Xuan and his friends have seen so far, the strongest one is only the lower-level general-level Steward Mo.

If the Toad King was gone, the Toad People themselves would obviously not be able to keep Toad King Town going.

Therefore, although it seems that the toad people are being controlled by the Toad King, it is indeed the Toad King who protects them.

This kind of symbiotic relationship is actually quite common in the old land.

Of course, in the eyes of the Toad King, it is quite good to have such a group of servants serving him.

Moreover, the relationship between the two parties is not just as simple as that of protector and protected, otherwise, there would be no cult in Toad King Town. The Toad King himself is also using the power of the Toad people's faith to find a way to go further.

Although it was not familiar with this road and it could not bring much help for the time being, it gradually gained some clues.

But after Lin Xuan reminded it, it discovered that the number of toad people it could sense was decreasing rapidly, which undoubtedly made it furious!
"Quaa?!"

The bright yellow little toad looked at Lin Xuan, unable to hide its anger.

"What's the point of yelling at me? It wasn't me who did it."

Facing the Toad King's rage, Lin Xuan seemed relatively calm. "Okay, I admit that the guy might be coming for us, but from his style of doing things, you should be able to tell that in order to ensure that we can't escape, he is trying to treat the entire town as a battlefield, regardless of the consequences..."

When the Toad King heard Lin Xuan admit that the trouble might indeed have been caused by them, he no longer concealed his murderous intention towards Lin Xuan.

But as Lin Xuan continued to explain the situation, the murderous intent in the Toad King's eyes gradually dissipated, and a very humane look of thought was revealed.

Seeing the changes in the Toad King, Lin Xuan, who looked like a night fairy, smiled, and at the same time, he was impressed by the power of the talent of [Eloquence].

[Babbling] is an entry-level talent, just like [Nutrition Absorption] and [Toddling Steps], and has direction choices when advancing.

The first direction is [Language Master], which can continue to deepen Lin Xuan's language ability, and the second direction is [Eloquent].

On the premise of retaining the effect of [Babbling], the talent of [Eloquence] can make Lin Xuan's words more convincing, and the more logical it is, the stronger the persuasiveness will be.

If he directly told the Toad King that he was his long-lost father, it would definitely have no effect, and he might even be slapped to death by the Toad King.

But he first let the Toad King sense his servants to see if they were affected, and the Toad King indeed discovered that something had happened after sensing it.

This move alone was enough to make the Toad King unable to remain calm.

Next, he honestly stated that the outsider might have come because of them, and did not directly lie that the other party was here to cause trouble for the Toad King.

This also fits with the Toad King's guess.

With the foregoing preparations, plus the invisible influence of his [Eloquent] talent, the Toad King felt that what Lin Xuan said made sense the more he listened.

During this period, Lin Xuan had only some vague concepts at most, such as why the Toad King didn't just capture them and hand them over to the mysterious outsider?
After all, this disaster was caused by Lin Xuan and his men.

Even if the Toad King captured them, it would not be too much. He could even use them as bargaining chips to trade with the mysterious outsider.

But under Lin Xuan's patient guidance, the Toad King simply ignored those practices. All he was thinking about was how to deal with the uninvited evil guest!
How could they be so disrespectful to the Toad King?

However, Lin Xuan did not lie too much and told the Toad King the truth that the mysterious outsider might be very powerful and was most likely a master at the upper general level.

In order to prevent the Toad King from really meeting that guy and discovering something is wrong, and waking up from his persuasion, which would be even more troublesome.

"...That's about it. I wonder if Lord Toad King is willing to cooperate?"

The night goblin Lin Xuan stretched out a hand towards the bright yellow little toad.

"Cuck!"

The bright yellow little toad also placed its front legs on Lin Xuan's hand.
