Chapter 150 Lizard Human Language Master King

While the group was discussing, the lizardman standing guard on the watchtower said, "Liguang, why are you bringing outsiders into the tribe again?"

Wang raised his eyebrows and asked their guide, "Do you often bring people back?"

Li Guang: "After all, I stand in that position, and there are quite a lot of people who will come to talk to me. But the strange thing is that most of the people who talk to me have the ability to fly."

Wang: "Nonsense, you can't fly in that position, and it's hard work to talk to you."

The monk nodded: "What you said is very true."

Xiaobai: "Do you want to feel that you are very smart and wise again?"

Before the monk could answer, the lizard man on the watchtower shouted again: "Answer, if you don't explain clearly what these people are here for, I'm afraid I can't let them in. The tribe doesn't have enough food now, and we don't have the energy to entertain these outsiders."

Wang: "Has the food problem reached the point where we can't entertain a team like ours?"

Counting the rowing sailors, the entire exploration team has only 12 people in total.The huge lizardman village even cares about giving a meal to twelve guests, which shows that their food problem is already very serious.

Flint: "Maybe they know we have a big eater on our team."

Xiaobai: "Huh? Me? I can hunt by myself. They said earlier that they don't have enough food, so I'll hunt some by myself."

While the team members were chewing their tongues, Li Guang said to the sentinel: "These guests are here to solve the negative effects of positive energy. This is more serious than the elders imagined, and it is a precursor to a crisis of annihilation. These guests are traveling to solve this crisis!"

The sentinel sighed: "Compared to growing some feathers, eating is more important. If these guests can create magic props that can conjure food for us, I'd rather let them in."

Li Guang: "Open the door, Sopur, maybe these guests can make your sister have beautiful scales again."

Wang: "His sister?"

Xiaobai exclaimed: "You want lizardmen too? They don't have big bobos!"

Flint answered: "And you can't get in the hole of a lizardman female either."

Wang: "Who do you think I am! I just want to ask about the situation of this lizard lady. From the context, she should have grown feathers."

Li Guang: "Grow a lot of feathers. Because when the mutation first appeared, this poor girl happened to be burned. So the witch doctor guided positive energy to treat her, and the result was that all the burnt skin grew feathers. The girl who was supposed to be married, suddenly became uninterested."

The sentinel on the watchtower shouted: "My sister is not an ordinary girl to be married, but a flower in our village! Now—literally, it has become a flower."

Wang frowned: "Are there so many feathers that they can be compared to flowers?"

Li Guang nodded.

So Wang raised his head and said to the lizardman sentry in dragon language, "Open the door, let's go in and see your sister."

The sentinel shouted: "Don't think that using the dragon language can make us obey. We are lizardmen, not kobolds. But, well, I will open the door for you. Maybe you should come in and meet the elders and shamans. After all... there are more and more feathers of the same kind in the village, and it looks very disturbing."

Wang: "So it turns out that in the lizard people's aesthetics, beautiful scales are the most beautiful. For them, the transformation of scales into feathers is probably a tragic accident on the same level as human girls being disfigured by acid."

When Wang said this, the sentry on the watchtower was calling for others to open the door.

So the water gate of the stockade was slowly pulled up, and the boatswain who operated the boat immediately ordered the sailors to row the boat through the gate.

As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Bai frowned: "It stinks!"

Liguang: "This is the smell of our livestock. They are relatively smelly."

Wang's sense of smell was not as sensitive as Xiaobai's, so he set his sights on the lizardman warrior operating the winch next to the door.

The lizardman warrior's left arm was covered with feathers.

"Is it that exaggerated?" Wang muttered in a low voice, "In Langdon City, the feathers that grow are very small, and some don't grow feathers at all, but have exaggerated scabs."

Flint: "If it's just the situation in Langdon City, even the lizardmen probably wouldn't be so close to the enemy, would they?"

Barbarian: "Yes!"

Xiaobai: "This feather is about a hundred times as exaggerated as Langdon City. Wait a minute, if we are injured here, will the dwarf heal us, will we become like this?"

"Probably so," Flint touched the holy emblem, "but it's so strange, my holy emblem feels normal."

Wang: "Your feeling is right, I suddenly found that this matter is unreasonable."

At this time, the boat arrived at the shore—even the lizardmen had to live on the shore, after all, they were only amphibians, not aquatic ones.

Wang jumped to the shore with a stride, and then turned back to his companions and said, "Think about it, the stages of the crisis that my teacher said. The next stage should be a large number of cheap healing scrolls and potions. However, if the result is like this after using positive energy to heal, then most people will not choose to rely on healing.

"After all, you see, under normal circumstances, the holy light is not something that ordinary people can enjoy. Ordinary people have many ways to treat wounds, such as herbs and bandages. If they are treated by healing in the next stage, they will become like this bear. Even if there are cheap scrolls, few people will buy them."

Xiaobai also strode ashore, and picked up the topic: "Maybe some people think it looks pretty like this?"

Wang: "Maybe a small number of people think so, but most ordinary people probably don't want to turn themselves into birdmen."

Flint: "I'll still buy it, after all, it might save lives... Hell, I'm not sure either."

At this time, he also wanted to go ashore, but he stepped on the air and almost fell into the water.

The barbarian quickly grabbed him and put him ashore.

Nini jumped ashore lightly as if to highlight the dwarf's embarrassment, and then picked up the topic freely: "So you don't think this is caused by our crisis of annihilation?"

Wang: "I'm not sure. It's still in the stage of doubt. I taught you to assume boldly and verify carefully. I'll think about how to verify it... By the way, Liguang, did the symptom of growing feathers appear all at once? I mean, is it just this long feather that just appeared? Are there any patients with milder symptoms in your village?"

Liguang shook his head decisively: "No. When we discovered this symptom, it was already like this."

Wang: "So, has your village been settled for a long time?"

Li Guang: "My grandfather's generation has settled here."

Dwarf: "Oh, it has been settled for a long time."

Wang: "No, the average lifespan of lizard people is only 30 years, and their childhood is only about five years."

Flint let out an "oh", then looked at the monk with pity: "I'm sorry."

Li Guang: "I have gained peace, so I don't care about it. In another five years, I will accept my death calmly. But, yes, it is best to be cautious in words and deeds in the village. Especially when facing the elderly."

As soon as he finished speaking, the king said: "The lizard people have such a strong reproductive ability, but the biggest reason is that their lifespan is too short. Many of their skills are not inherited. The craftsman who accidentally mastered the skills died, and the skills were not passed down."

The crowd fell silent.

Flint cleared his throat after a few seconds and said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. There are at least 20 lizardmen within sight here. They are different from the kobolds. They are very powerful in fighting. If they are hostile, we may not be able to leave."

Wang: "It's okay, I haven't used the ultimate dragon transformation today."

Flint: "Don't take Tucun as the default option!"

The lizardman warrior next to him probably didn't understand the common language, and he just cast a strange look at the dwarf's words-probably wondering, "Why is this dwarf making noise?"

The lizardman who opened the door for the team understood Common Language, but he obviously took it as a joke: "Hahaha, try it if you can. Let's go, I'll take you to see my sister."

Wang asked suspiciously: "Don't you need to stand guard?"

"I let someone else take over for the time being, and then I'll help him back up. We lizard people have always been very flexible in this regard." The sentinel said.

Wang nodded, and continued to ask Li Guang while following the lizardman: "So, you have lived here for 30 years, but you have not discovered the 'primary form' of this phenomenon?"

Monk: "It should be like this. The phenomenon suddenly appeared, and after positive energy treatment, there will be such long feathers."

Wang was stunned: "Then maybe this phenomenon has nothing to do with the crisis we are solving. Let me ask another question, these people who have been treated only grow feathers? No more tumors or anything else."

In Langdon City, most of the people who were treated with positive energy just had ugly scabs, a few grew feathers, the ones the size of fingernails, and there were very few lucky ones who grew tentacles-like "extra limbs" from the wounds.

Li Guang continued to shake his head: "No, only feathers."

Wang looked at Nini: "Listen, now we can almost conclude that this has nothing to do with the crisis of annihilation. Of course, we need to further verify it."

Nini had a thoughtful expression, and after a short thought, she asked: "Is it possible that it is Lamashtu? The holy emblem of Lamashtu we hold will also have this effect."

Wang: "It's true that the holy emblem of Lamashtu can also make people grow feathers or other strange things, but the effect of the holy emblem can be resolved with restoration."

The king turned to the monk: "Have you ever tried Restoration on a feathered man?"

Li Guang: "I tried it, but it didn't work."

Flint: "Look, now it's pretty sure this isn't a crisis we're dealing with. It's something new!"

Xiaobai imitated Liguang's tone and said: "All benefactors are very wise!"

No one listened to her teasing, not even the monk himself.

Wang: "So how long has this incident been going on?"

Li Guang: "Two weeks."

Wang stopped and looked at the monk suspiciously: "It's only been two weeks? Why do your statements always give me the illusion that this situation has lasted for a long time?"

Li Guang: "For a lizardman with a lifespan of only 30 years, two weeks is a long time."

Wang couldn't help but help his forehead: "It's reasonable."

Nini said: "Let me try to analyze it with the way my teacher taught me. Because this phenomenon started to happen two weeks ago, and we happened to be trapped in Minos, the capital of Monrovia, and at that time we had already obtained information from the Royal Monrovia Institute of Architects, and the next stop was Isonzo of the River Kingdoms.

"So this feathered event, possibly aimed at us, was intended to mislead our investigation—am I guessing right?"

Wang: "Yes, but this is just a hypothesis. Make a bold assumption and verify it carefully."

At this time, the lizard sentinel who led the way said, "Come on, that's my sister."

Everyone looked in the direction of his fingers, only to see a lizard man who was about to turn into a bird man.

Xiaobai: "It's literally like a flower."

Wang: "Like badminton—oh, it's a popular sport in our mage's tower, and it's an imported product learned from a certain plane."

After that, he took a step forward and reached out to the female lizardman: "Hello, I am the Mage King of the Salvation Squad."

The sentinel lizard man next to him said, "My sister doesn't understand Common Tongue."

Wang immediately switched to the lizard man language: "Hello, I'm the savior...what to say in the lizard man language. Forget it, I'm the mage king, and I will find a way to heal you. Please answer my question truthfully."

After the mage finished speaking, the female lizardman smiled—no, I'm not sure if it was a smile, but her expression changed obviously.

Wang turned his head and asked Li Guang: "Is she laughing?"

Li Guang nodded: "I want to laugh too."

Wang: "Why? I didn't tell a joke just now, what's the point of the joke?"

Li Guang: "Your accent is very strange, and your words are very similar to the elders of the tribe. Generally, young lizardmen don't speak like this."

Wang said "oh".

At this time Xiaobai suddenly asked: "Scare me, I thought you were in heat with a lizard man female."

"Don't make me sound like a cat in season."

"But I can't understand lizardman language. This language is too weird. It sounds like a series of hissing sounds of different heights."

Wang: "Ah, the lizard language is like this, it is to adapt to their vocal organs.

"Lizardman language mainly relies on rhythm and the combination of long and short sounds to express meaning. This is a very labor-saving language for them.

"Lizardmen have a hard time speaking Common, mainly because their lips are not so flexible and their tongues are too thin.

"On the other hand, the Lizardman language is so suitable for the Lizardmen. My teacher made a hypothesis: that is, the Lizardman language was not formed naturally. It was specially invented by a wise man based on the characteristics of the Lizardmen's vocal organs, and then taught to the Lizardmen."

After listening to Wang's words, Liguang immediately praised: "Your teacher is also..."

Xiaobai snapped back and said: "There is great wisdom, or the root of wisdom. Or it is the root of great wisdom."
