The sight of hundreds of frogmen in the village kneeling before her was a little too stimulating for a little girl who had yet to reach adulthood and had not seen much of the world. Eleena stared at the scene in front of her, not knowing what to do.
"Hakunama Croak!"
The frogmen didn't realize that their behavior was bothering Eleena. They were still kneeling and shouting in a language that she didn't understand.
"What are they saying?"
Edward couldn't help but ask Croakatoa, whose legs had gone soft and was about to kneel as well.
"Esteemed Aquatic Lord, we offer you our utmost respect, thanking you for your protection and gift, allowing us to enjoy the bountiful waters of the sea. We will never forget our reverence, and we will always be with the water," Croakatoa translated, tongue-tied.
"Why did such a short sentence translate so long?" Gou Dan smacked his lips. He felt that something was wrong.
"This means that our language is advanced!" Croakatoa said shamelessly. "Little guys, I see that you're quite smart. Do you want to learn frogspeak from me?"
The players didn't hesitate at all, and shook their heads in unison.
At that moment, the frogmen in the distance started to stir.
"What are they saying?" Edward asked.
Croakatoa listened carefully for a moment, and its expression became panicked.
"The dry-skinned! The dry-skinned are coming down from the mountains! "
Edward and the others looked at each other, knowing that the real show was about to begin.
☆
Albert was a Magician belonging to the Valla Empire branch of the Society of the Secret Eye.
Unlike players like Edward who relied on Xi Wei's system to become a Magician, he was a native Magician of this world.
Although the title of Magician seemed unreachable to the common people, and it was even more mysterious than the so-called nobles. Many people even thought that the status of a Magician was higher than that of a noble.
Well, that was actually the case. To be able to successfully cross the threshold of an apprentice and become an official Magician, one could obtain a status equivalent to that of a Baron in almost every country.
But to advance further was even more difficult. In this world filled with Gods, the status of a Magician was a little awkward.
Admittedly, magic was mysterious and had a very high upper limit. If learned well, one could imitate the effects of many Divine Arts, and could even use some extraordinary and powerful abilities.
This could be seen from the fact that more than one-third of the current Legendary champions were mages (the remaining two-thirds were clergies, and there were almost no warriors).
But that was all.
First of all, aptitude was very important in the study of magic. Without aptitude, one wouldn't be able to sense Mana's aura no matter how smart one was.
At the same time, magic was also a profound subject. Without a mentor, it was very difficult to get started. Even if there was a mentor, one lesson and three practices were only the basics. Three years of spellcasting and five years of meditation were the correct path. In addition, there were all kinds of magic experiments that were indispensable, such as using magic materials to cast spells and so on. These were the pursuit of the essence of magic. Therefore, if one only had talent but no brains, it would be very difficult to make progress.
As a result, there were only a few people who could continue on the path of magic.
It was worth mentioning that the Magi also had their own god, the most mysterious of the Seven Divine Fathers, Magic Violet.
This god was different from the other gods. He had never recruited believers in the mortal realm, nor did he need the faith of believers. He had never given any oracle, and from this point, he was a little similar to Lord Hades, who was also one of the Seven Divine Fathers.
But compared to the terrifying Lord of Hades, Magical Violet's presence was much lower, and there was no proof of the existence of this deity in the mortal realm. If it were not for the other large churches who could communicate with the gods and confirm that such a deity occupied one of the positions of the Seven Divine Fathers, perhaps the humans would not even know of its existence.
Currently, there were two main theories about this god's existence. One was that Magic Violet created the foundation of all magic and defined the existence of magic, so as long as there were spellcasters in the world, it would not disappear. The other was that Magic Violet created the 'Web of Mana' that humans couldn't observe. All the magic in the world was actually his divine power, and those who used his divine power had already sworn their loyalty to him. So as long as magic existed, it would not disappear.
No matter which theory was correct, there was no doubt that Magic Violet, who could single-handedly change the structure of the entire world, had no problem becoming one of the Seven Divine Fathers alongside the God of Light and the God of War!
Anyway, learning magic required a lot of knowledge, information, and materials, which could all be summed up in one simple factor: money.
It was precisely because of the generous rewards that Yal Patel chose to join the Valla Empire branch of the Society of the Secret Eye, completing various quests in exchange for money and some rare materials …
And now, he was facing a rather troublesome quest: attacking the frogmen village.
He had participated in the Society of the Secret Eye's first probing attack on the village, but he didn't do anything during that attack, only collecting data on the frogmen.
And according to the information obtained from that attack, Yal Patel was prepared to wipe out the frogmen village in one fell swoop.
At first, he thought that a normal mudslide would be enough.
The creation of a mudslide was very simple. It was to cause the cliff to collapse and form a mudslide. It was simple and practical, and other than choosing the point of explosion, it didn't require much effort. Even so, he had spent a lot of Flame Flowers as the detonator. Even though it was the cheapest fire-type material, it still cost him a lot of Rions.
Who told the frogmen to be so confident in this rocky mountain and build their village at the foot of the cliff?
Who would've thought that the frogmen village would have someone as strong as a bishop, who could create such a huge divine shield to block the mudslide!
"Tsk, what the hell, why didn't someone that strong attack last time?!"
Yal Patel gritted his teeth as he watched the Sacred Barrier slowly disappear, not even noticing that his lips were bleeding. If he had known that there was an enemy of this level, he definitely wouldn't have accepted such a losing deal. "No, if I go back like this, Black Whip will never forgive me."
Yal Patel was a little scared at the thought of that cruel and unreasonable man.
"There's no other way, I'll just have to take out some of my trump cards."
Yal Patel took out a scroll from his pocket, and tore it to shreds without even looking at it.
In the next moment, a few tall figures clad in black full-body armor and riding horses appeared beside him.
"Damn it, this [Rhine Knights] summoning scroll costs one Gold Abby!" Yal Patel ordered the tall figures around him, his heart aching. "Listen to my command! Go, kill every living thing you see down there! "
