"No, I just forgot."
"I thought everything you did was so thoughtful and had extra meaning behind it."
Wang touched his face awkwardly: "Well, well...it's true that most of my actions are the result of careful consideration. You are right! However, as the saying goes, even the wisest man can make mistakes. The mistake I made today was that I forgot to ask for your name."
As the king looked towards the top of the statue, he saw the lizardman jump onto the statue's shoulder, then slide down along the arm, and then jump onto the pattern on the statue's waist - this thing was based on an ancient world-destroying golem, so naturally it had many patterns.
Watching the lizardman's deft movements, Wang couldn't help but ask Nini: "Can you do the same thing?"
Nini shook her head flatly: "I can't do it. In fact, when I first met him, I couldn't hold on to that Y-shaped position for long."
As they were talking, the lizardmen were almost on the ground, while Xiaobai was just beginning to descend.
Wang: "Xiaobai! Hurry up, haven't you eaten yet?"
The next moment, the griffin folded its wings and began to dive.
The king, who didn't have time to tie himself to the saddle, flew up and was caught by Nini.
Nini used her strong legs to clamp the griffin's body and was not carried away by inertia.
Wang: "Feather Fall!"
The griffin, which had been diving powerfully, suddenly lost its diving power and floated in the sky.
Xiaobai turned back and yelled: "You are a scoundrel!"
Wang: "Humph, do you know how many Feather Falls I prepared today? I originally wanted to go up to both statues once, so I prepared two!"
Xiaobai doggy-paddled in the air, looking like he wanted to get to Wang and bite him.
After dog paddling for a few times, she remembered that she could transform, so she turned into a white-headed sea eagle and prepared to use a whirlwind charge at the king.
Nini suddenly said, "The lizard man didn't get on the boat directly. He stopped beside the boat and seemed to be wrapping the base of his tail."
Wang: "Oh, this lizard man is very polite!"
Nini and Xiaobai were both confused: "Wrapping your tail means being polite?"
Just as Wang was about to explain, Nini shouted again, "The deck on which the lizardmen are sitting is surrounded by sailors with swords!"
**
"Don't be nervous!" Elizabeth shouted at the sailors, "Don't you understand? This lizard man came on board directly, it must be the king who asked him to join the team. Thank God it's a male this time - uh, you... you are a male, right?"
The lizard man nodded: "I am indeed a male lizard man. Do you have no experience in distinguishing between male and female lizard men?"
Elizabeth nodded. "Yes, you don't breastfeed, so you don't have secondary sexual characteristics that are easy to identify."
Lizard Man: "Look at the tail. Of course, it might be faster to show you directly, but it's not polite after all. I know that in the human worldview, it is very rude for a male to actively expose his organs."
Elizabeth: "Lizard people... don't matter?"
Lizard Man: "You see, none of our clothes cover our tails. I wrapped mine up before I got on board."
Elizabeth was stunned for a moment: "Huh? Shouldn't the tail be exposed? Xiaobai also exposes his tail all day long."
Lizardman: "Is Xiaobai the very wise little druid? She does keep her tail exposed, just like a lizardman."
Rosalie: "What do you mean? I'm confused."
"Let me think about how to express it." The lizard man crossed his arms, propped up his chin with one hand and thought for a few seconds before saying, "I've thought of a good metaphor. Lizardmen walking on the street with their tails exposed is like a human male walking on the street with his penis exposed. But this is the custom of us lizardmen. Do you understand this explanation?"
Rosalie opened her mouth into an O shape: "Is that so?"
"That's right. Of course, I had already wrapped the base of my tail when I boarded this ship. This is to take into account human customs."
Elizabeth: “This…eh?”
The lizard man continued, "We will go to the lizard village later. Since all the lizard men and women in the village have their tails exposed, the ladies can choose not to enter the village."
"Wait a minute!" Flint interrupted, "Why are we going into the Lizardman village? We need to get to Isonzo as soon as possible, find the cult's base, and then make a big scene!"
The lizard man immediately explained the whole story in brief.
Flint: "I see! So why isn't the little brother coming down yet?"
Everyone looked up and saw three creatures slowly floating down.
The team members on the deck and the three people in the air stared at each other for a few seconds. Elizabeth asked on behalf of everyone: "What are you doing? Aren't you wasting time?"
The king's voice came from the sky: "It's okay, we just suddenly want to float."
Elizabeth sighed, "Okay."
She looked at the lizardman: "So you joined the team?"
Lizardman Monk: "Joining the team means joining the adventure of saving the world? As a monk, I cannot turn a blind eye to this world crisis. However, I have not received an invitation to join.
“And now you asked me to join, but I actually refused, because I felt that you couldn’t ask me to join right away. I first wanted to understand what kind of people you are. After all, this is a two-way choice.
"That mage with the root of wisdom should have the same plan."
The members of the rescue team looked at each other, and the dwarf said firmly: "Yes! That must be what he planned!"
Lizardman: "But I will indeed accompany you in solving the problem of the village's positive energy mutation."
Elizabeth: "Well, okay. So what's your name?"
Lizardman: "You can call me by my Buddhist name, Li Guang. What about you?"
Elizabeth first introduced herself: "My name is Elizabeth, and I'm a warlock."
Dwarf: "Responsible for firing the scorching rays."
The princess nodded: "Yes, responsible for emitting the scorching rays."
Li Guang: "What about the drow elf lurking nearby? She shouldn't be an enemy, right? I don't sense any hostility from her at all."
Marika emerged from the shadows. "Very good, monk. You saw through my stealth."
"It's just a trivial trick. I'm sorry to make you laugh."
Marika: "I am Marika, an exiled drow, and the rogue on the team."
Dwarf: "Flint, priest. As you can see, the man next to you who doesn't like to talk is a barbarian who likes to shave with an axe."
Gotrek: "I don't like it."
The dwarf continued, "Those in the sky are our captain, the diplomatic ranger, and the druid."
Li Guang: "A balanced configuration, but why is there no poet?"
Elizabeth: "Looking for one. Do you know any poets?"
Lizard Man: "Unfortunately, no."
At this time, Wang and Nini Xiaobai finally landed on the deck. He stepped forward and said, "I forgot to ask you just now. What should I call you?"
"You can call me by my Buddhist name, Li Guang." The lizard man answered again.
"Oh, Li Guang. Please show me the way."
Rosalie asked in confusion: "Isn't there only one waterway? What road are you talking about? We can always get there by following the river, right?"
Wang shook his head and said, "Of course not. The rivers in the River Region are densely networked, and there are large swamps everywhere. Unless you follow the set navigation marks all the time and don't go to other places through the waterways, you will get lost in a minute - on the water."
Rosalie: "That's my ignorance. But the ship my father gave me is so big, won't it get stranded if it takes the small waterway?"
Li Guang replied, "Yes. But I see you have a small boat. You can lower the boat later and I will row the boat."
Wang: "Wait a minute, you don't have a vehicle that can sail on the river, so how did you get here?"
Lizard Man: "I walked on water. We in the monastery call this walking on water."
Wang couldn't help but hold his forehead and said, "Where is your monastery? I want to visit it."
Lizard Man: "At the highest peak of the world's mountains. I have been practicing there for twenty years."
"Oh, it's not on the way... Wait a minute!" Wang suddenly discovered the problem, "You've lived in a monastery on the top of the mountain for twenty years? You're a lizard man! You're a cold-blooded animal, wouldn't you freeze to the point of stopping your life activities and going into hibernation on the top of the mountain?"
The lizard man stared at the king for a few seconds before answering, "I can warm myself by the fire."
Wang Fu's forehead: "I'm sorry, mine."
Xiaobai: "Is this Huigen? It doesn't look very delicious."
149. Each volume will have a holiday
Each volume will have a holiday.
It's reasonable to take a day off after finishing a volume, right?
I didn’t think about this in the past few days. After I finish writing a volume, I will have a one-day holiday.
In addition, you can also estimate how long each volume will be serialized.
I have decided that each volume will have 70 chapters, and I will update two chapters a day without fail, which means one volume will be published every 35 days.
Including one day of holiday, there are exactly 36 days in one volume, which is an integer multiple of 12. Isn’t that great?
Well, now let's make up for the one-day holiday after the end of Volume 7. See you on July 13th at am to pm~
Chapter 148: The River Countries in Danger
The king rubbed Xiaobai's head vigorously in response, and then ordered: "There is no time to lose. It's still hot in the sun here. Let's go to the Lizardman Village as soon as possible!"
Li Guang: "That's right. Let's go down the river first, and then we'll enter the western tributary at the first fork."
The king immediately glanced at the captain, who nodded and left.
Soon, the sail that had just been folded was lowered again, and the iron anchor hanging on the mangrove was also removed, and the new Star Chaser began to move along the river again.
Seeing this, Rosalie suggested, "Why don't we go back to the captain's room and wait? After all, it might be very hot outside."
The lizard man shook his head: "For us lizard people, staying outside is a very comfortable thing."
"They are cold-blooded animals," Wang explained to the others, "because their blood has no temperature, and high external temperatures will increase their blood activity. That's why you can hardly see any Lizard People activities in Monrovia and Kuosaniya."
Xiaobai: "But there are kobolds! Aren't little lizards cold-blooded animals?"
The monk replied, "Not that I know of."
Wang: "So in my family - I mean in the Mage Tower, the mages debated whether kobolds were lizardmen or not. In the end, the more widely accepted view was that kobolds were a rare mutant species, and because they became warm-blooded, they were more adaptable to the environment, and were therefore more widely distributed than the direct lineage lizardmen."
