A different world game? A different world game!

Chapter 19: The Ruins of the Fishman Village

The slowly flowing river.

Two slender fishing boats moved towards the opposite shore under the sliding of the fishermen.

It was too difficult for the five of them, plus the fisherman and a merman, to squeeze onto a fishing boat at once.

Not to mention that four of them were wearing armor.

Even though it is now divided into two ships, it still seems a little crowded.

"Your Highness, why, why can you communicate with these fishmen?" Aliris asked as she sat next to Kana.

The fishman with blue spots sat on the edge of the boat, paddling the water with his short arms and mumbling something in his mouth. He seemed to find the experience of riding in a boat very novel.

“It can’t be considered communication. In fact, the language among the fishmen is also very rough. They mostly express themselves through tone and intonation, plus some body movements.

So generally speaking, it is easy for them to understand the meaning of other races, but it is difficult for other races to understand the expressions of the fishmen.

Even they communicate like this among themselves, especially between different murloc tribes."

Kana explained this to the audience.

Alice and Blake both looked like they had learned something.

"Your Highness, your knowledge is even more profound than I thought." Blake was somewhat impressed.

He felt that such knowledge could be considered unpopular.

He really couldn't imagine how boring a person must be to understand these things.

And Kana not only knows it but can also use it.

If Cana heard this, he would have to tell Blake that this was what a "player" was.

However, Blake frowned and asked in a slightly serious tone, "What is your intention in going to the other side of the river? I must tell you that although these fishmen have no conflict with us,

But after all, they are not civilized beings, and this is likely to lead to conflicts that we cannot anticipate."

He was worried that Kana would do something to anger the fish people. After all, Kana was essentially a prince of a country and a noble being.

And the murlocs...are only slightly better than beasts.

At least that's what Blake thought.

Kana smiled and gave him a reassuring look: "Since I understand the customs and habits of these fish people, I naturally know how to get along with them normally. So don't worry."

Blake nodded. A reminder was the limit of his duty.

With the breeze on the river, the fishing boat became quiet.

Kana looked at the fishman.

The reason why we care about the blue-spotted murlocs is that there is such a murloc tribe on the coast closest to the novice village at the beginning of the story. They are neutral units and you can accept some tasks in them.

Murlocs can be found everywhere in the world where there is water. They are not very aggressive and will clean up some garbage on the river bank.

Due to certain institutional reasons within the murlocs, they rarely gather into large tribes.

A murloc tribe with a population of one thousand is almost the limit, which means that they can only occupy a small area on the coast.

In order to ensure their own safety, they often build their tribes in reef areas, under cliffs and the like.

This also means that most intelligent races rarely wipe out the murloc tribes for no reason.

There are many tasks related to murlocs and issued by murlocs in the game.

Every player will be able to communicate with that kind of gestures in the middle and late stages.

The reason why players are so enthusiastic is that the murloc's missions often produce some equipment with strange appearances.

You have to admit that in the later stages of the game, players like some funny things.

The way to distinguish murlocs is to look at the spots on their bodies. The different colors, densities and stripes indicate that they are murlocs from different tribes.

The "blue spots" can basically be confirmed to be the one closest to the coast of the Novice Village.

the most important point is.

The first mission where the "Stone of Creation" appears starts with this tribe of murlocs.

In the early to mid-game, this item is just a background item. Once a player obtains it, it becomes a very important quest item, but the player cannot use it themselves.

But after obtaining each Genesis Stone, you can unlock some tasks with extremely generous rewards.

Therefore, in the early and middle stages, the Stone of Creation = top reward.

While I was thinking, I heard Old Pete's voice.

"My Lords, we have reached the shore."

Kana came to his senses and several people got off the boat.

Ordering the two fishermen to wait for them on the shore, Blake gave them a few copper coins.

Amidst a burst of thanks, he followed the chattering fishman and walked away.

Didn't go far.

Two fishmen came running over from a distance holding stone spears.

After taking a wary look at Kana and the others, he started to communicate with the fishman in front of him with gestures.

"They actually communicate like this," Aliris thought, feeling quite surprised. After a while, the fishman who had brought them here danced with joy towards Kana.

Cana just nodded.

He turned and said, "He asked us to follow him."

A few people followed and after a short walk, they saw the tribe of mermen beside a shallow beach.

A simple shed built with branches and leaves.

There were also some bones and various garbage.

This place looks like it could be considered a small village.

There are murlocs everywhere.

They come in different sizes, some are fat, some are thin.

"Look at that, is that still a murloc?" Kcha, one of the accompanying knights, asked, pointing to the distance.

It was a fishman that was about 1.5 meters tall. Compared with the fishmen around it that were less than 1 meter tall, it could be said to stand out from the crowd.

It was also much more robust, holding a huge bone stick in its hand, on which was fastened an unknown fish skull.

After seeing this murloc, Kana was basically certain that this murloc tribe was definitely the one on the coast of the Novice Village.

"Zhuangyu" is the name of the fishman.

A level three murloc warrior.

At least that's what's marked on his head when playing the game.

"To be honest, even though I've lived on the other side for so long, this is the first time I've come here and seen this fishman village with my own eyes."

Blake was feeling a little emotional.

"So what's your first impression?" Kana asked with a smile.

"It's better than I thought. I thought they were just going to dig a hole in the sand or something.

I didn't expect them to build houses, even though they're pretty crude," Blake said.

Just as everyone was chatting, an old merman walked out of the village. He was obviously much older than the ordinary merman.

Unlike other murlocs, this old murloc was wearing decorative clothes made of shells.

There are also some differences in appearance. Other merfolk have pointed heads like fish, and their eyes are buckled on both sides of their heads.

The sides of this fishman's head extend outward like a triangle, and his eyes are slanted on both sides.

In his hand he held a huge coral staff with a bell made of shells hanging on the top.

It makes a jingling sound when you walk.

And the "strong fish" followed beside him to protect him.

Seeing the old fishman, Kana smiled slightly, put his hands behind his back and bent slightly.

"Hello, Froghead Prophet."

The old murloc was obviously very surprised. Seeing that Kana even performed a kind of etiquette among the murlocs, he instantly felt a good impression of him.

"Hello, friendly human."

The four people standing behind Kana widened their eyes as the fishman spoke.

They still speak the common language.

"I never thought I'd meet a human who knows about murlocs. I've heard from Xiaobei that you saved him. Thank you for your kindness."

The murloc prophet's accent was a little strange, but one could still clearly understand what he said.

“I’m interested, so I know a little bit about it.

Prophet, I heard that you have a semicircular relic stone slab here, and I am very interested in it.

What should I do to get you to give it to me?"

Kana's words were abrupt and blunt.

The four people who followed him were all confused.

But the Murloc Prophets seem to buy into this; they don't like any roundabout ways.

Just tell us what you are here for. If you keep beating around the bush, the fishmen will take it as the truth.

"Is this what you're talking about? Human."

The old murloc took out half of a semicircular stone slab from a small cloth bag carried by the murloc warrior next to him.

Handed it directly to Kana.

After taking it and looking at it, I was basically certain that although the past was a little fuzzy in my mind, this stone tablet should be correct.

"Yes, that's it."

"Human, this slab was originally a whole piece, but it was cut in half some time ago."
