Fishmen, to simply describe their appearance, they are a fish with a twisted body and long limbs.

However, because there are many types of murlocs, the body shapes of different types of murlocs are also very different. Some are not as tall as halflings, while others are afraid of being able to compete with barbarians.

They are typical creatures whose types are very vague. After all, not all intelligent creatures can be considered human beings.

In many places, murlocs are regarded as monsters, and they will be surrounded and suppressed by armies and adventurers as soon as they are found. In other places, murlocs are also regarded as 'people', or as a member of mortals, and even have various races.

An area where fish people live together.

Judging from the clues obtained so far, it is indeed very likely that the murlocs did it. Whether it was attacking from the bottom of the boat or the diving skills of the dragon, it does not look like something that a race on land can do.

.

Since fishmen must live in extremely humid or simply living in a body of water, and they also need to be hidden without being discovered, Pei Renli asked if there were any nearby caves connected to a water source.

But the possibility cannot be equated with 100% certainty, it can only be said to be very suspicious.

Uncle Mu Tuo may have a short temper. As soon as he heard that Pei Renli needed more information, he immediately went out with a lantern in the middle of the night and went from house to house to ask.

Although the information obtained is similar to the previous one, at least the whole town knows that there are adventurers coming to help deal with the monsters...

But no matter how anxious you are, you still have to go to sleep. If you continue to worry about it, it will be late at night.

Uncle Muto has a son who works in the Port Authority of Muxing City and is already married and has children. He has considered bringing his biological father over, but like many old people who cannot leave their homeland, Uncle Muto does not want to leave the land where he was born and raised.

After his wife passed away a few years ago, he was the only one at home.

In his original words, you are all here, and you will sleep here with me at night, and I ask you to go and stay in a pub. Where can I put my face? There are only so many rooms in my house.

By the way, the men were in a room and the women were in a room that night, so nothing happened.

Early the next morning, Pei Renli walked out of Uncle Mu Tuo's house, stood at the door to stretch his body, and waited for his companion who was still washing.

Viewed from here, the quiet bay of The Hague Castle and the clear sea and blue sky in the distance are really pleasing to the eye. I somewhat understand why Uncle Muto is unwilling to live in a bustling big city.

But at this moment, Pei Renli rolled his eyes and saw a timid little figure hiding behind the fence at the door. It wasn't until he poked his head that he realized it was a little girl holding a doll.

Pei Renli smiled at her in a friendly manner, and the latter seemed to feel the kindness, mustered up the courage to come out from behind the fence, and ran two steps quickly to Pei Renli.

"Brother, are you adventurers here to fight monsters?"

Pei Renli squatted down and said:

"Yes, we will beat away all the monsters who bully you."

I planned to fool the child, but unexpectedly these words made the little girl anxious:

"No, no! The monster I met yesterday was a good monster, not a bad monster. Don't hit him, please don't hit him, okay?"

This child should be the child that Uncle Muto mentioned was almost attacked by a fish-man.

"Don't worry, please speak slowly. Can you tell me in detail what you saw yesterday?"

"Yesterday, yesterday was my mother's birthday. I wanted to go to the river outside the city to pick up some beautiful pebbles as a gift for my mother."

"And then you met the monster?"

The little girl nodded vigorously:

"I lost my balance and fell into the river. It was the monster who pulled me up. He also helped me find many beautiful pebbles. He was not a bad monster. Later, the hunter uncle came and yelled

It scared away the good monsters. I told many people, but no one believed me."

It's no wonder that the development of civilization will inevitably conflict with the monsters living in the local area. It can be said that they have been mortal enemies from the ancient times when they were living like hair and drinking blood until now. Normal people obviously will not regard monsters as objects with which they can communicate.

Whether murlocs are considered monsters depends on the area. And it just so happens that the surrounding areas, mainly Muxing City, don't think murlocs are good things.

When I see a fishman and a little girl together, of course my first reaction is that the fishman is going to eat her.

The little girl was so anxious that she burst into tears:

"Brother, please don't hit him, okay?"

"Don't cry, don't cry, look here."

Pei Renli put his hands together, and a firework-like aura exploded from his fingers, which immediately attracted the child's attention. He shook his fingers again, and the exploding aura turned into a string of flashing flower patterns, surrounding

The child spins slightly.

"Big brother, let's go and have a look with our companions. If it's really a good monster, we won't beat him."

"real?"

The little girl immediately burst into laughter. Pei Renli reached out and pinched a flower made of light. With a pinch of his fingers, it turned into a real flower:

"I'll give this to you. Of course Big Brother keeps what he says, but you can't go out without telling your family anymore."

"Um!"

Sure enough, children are easy to fool, so they happily ran away with the doll in their arms.

"Whose child was that just now?"

Looking back, Kaya was walking out of Uncle Muto's door, busy hanging the scabbard on the buckle of her belt.

"Yesterday, Uncle Muto told me about the child who was attacked by fishmen. She told me something."

"Any new information? Why do you look a little sad?"

Pei Renli spread his hands:

"There is indeed new information, but the new information complicates the matter."

"?"

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Murlocs are not a race that cannot communicate, but in many cases, it's not that they don't want to communicate, but that it's difficult to communicate.

Nowadays, the vast majority of mortals and even countless planes in the multiverse world basically use the common language. At most, people from different regions may have different accents.

Races such as dwarves and elves also retain their own languages, but their lingua franca has a status similar to that of an international language and can be used everywhere.

But fishmen are different.

Murloc is also a general term, and there are many different branches below it, so many that you would suspect that these guys with huge individual differences are all murlocs.

Some fish people speak primitive language, some fish people speak their own fish language, some speak aquatic language, etc. There is no uniformity at all.

There are some who can speak Common Language, but they are very few. Most of them exist in areas where they are mixed with other mortal races. Therefore, it is difficult for you to have any effective communication with the murlocs you see in the wild.

Similarly, it is unreliable to judge quality simply by using the race of murlocs. For example, sahuagin often rob merchant ships and coastal villages and towns, and their behavior is extremely cruel. They are more beastly than little Japan, where children live a good life.

It is called the sea devil by fishermen.

And what about the sahuagin's mortal enemy?

They are also fishmen, they are called triton fishmen. Although their tempers are a bit annoying, they are indeed kind guardians.

Precisely because they have a complexity similar to that of mortals, Pei Renli originally thought that it was most likely the fish-men did this, but after hearing what the little girl said, he felt that it was not very reliable.

Of course, it is definitely not possible to continue to wait for the situation to develop. You still have to work.

The four of them faced the morning sunshine, passed through the gate of The Hague Castle, and entered the woods outside the city.

Strictly speaking, this place is already within the scope of the Big Sea of ​​Trees, but it is still far from the center, so there are no monsters, at most there are some beasts.

Uncle Muto gave Perenli the map around The Hague Castle and marked the approximate location on it. In terms of distance, it was indeed not too far.

Kaya, who was walking at the front, cut off the vines blocking the road with her sword. Moen, who was following behind and looked left and right, paying close attention to every shadow, said:

"Is there really a monastery around here?"

There are no roads at all, and the green barrier formed by the forest has submerged all civilized creations.

"Maybe. I've also found ancient buildings in places where no one has been before."

According to Kaya herself, her family's territory is very bordering countryside, with large tracts of undeveloped natural areas.

"The Hague Castle was established less than a hundred years ago, and there is no priest in the town. When was the monastery built?"

Pei Renli, who was covering one eye and using his secret eye to investigate, was about to answer when the three of them heard a rustling in the trees not far away.

The next moment, Louisa, who had taken the first step to investigate, came out from behind the bushes:

"I saw an old building not far ahead."

"Is it really true?"

After going through thorns and thorns all the way, when the jagged trees blocking the view slowly disappeared, a monastery could be seen standing in the forest in the distance.

The walls that have been dazzled by time have been covered with moss and vines, and the big clock originally hanging on the top has fallen to the ground on one side. Even in the sunlight, it looks a bit eerie.

Everyone drew their weapons one after another. In an ancient building like this, the biggest threat is usually the undead, the undead, and the undead.

The monastery has a simple outer wall that can still be seen in its original shape, which is simply made of stones. Some wall-crawlers have taken root here, forming a green curtain.

Walking along the collapsed part, the monastery with its roof half-collapsed did not look like it had at all. Especially when everyone walked around to the main entrance, they could see that the wooden door had been slapped on the ground.

Because the environment was too humid, the door was rotten and covered with moss. When you stepped on it, it felt more like you were stepping on soil.

As soon as you enter the door, the most eye-catching thing is the stained glass facing the door. It has been broken a lot. The sunlight shines in from there, casting the shadow of the vines hanging on it on the ground.

The four of them entered cautiously. Pei Renli muttered a spell in a low voice, and a flash of light rose from the head of the Swift Light Staff, dispersing the surrounding darkness like a torch.
