Villain Lord: Both The Player And The Protagonist Want To Kill Me

Chapter 41 Conquering The Kuo Tao Fishmen

Still want to choose your own spouse?

Xiwei was slightly stunned. He didn't know why he thought of players changing their jobs to Venom Dragons and then doing this and that, and that and this again...

Hiss...this forbidden love is so poignant and beautiful.

Xiwei said that he still had some expectations in his heart, so he readily agreed to the Green-footed Dragon Snake's request and returned some of the remaining Green-footed Dragon Snake eggs to it.

In the future, if the Warcraft babies are hatched, they will definitely be given to the players, but they can’t be given away for free, right?

It will cost him money to raise the green-footed dragon snake, and it will also take effort to find a World of Warcraft to breed the green-footed dragon snake. When the time comes, the players will be very happy to accept it if they pay some price and exchange it for World of Warcraft eggs.

After ordering a few guards to imprison the Green-footed Dragon Snake in the castle dungeon, Xiwei returned to the front hall of the castle to find Xinghai.

She still needs help with the Kuo Tao fish people.

"Lord... uh, His Majesty the Winter King, have you found the Kuo-Tao fish people? That's amazing~"

Xinghai clapped her hands, her blue eyes full of admiration, her big tail patted the water happily, changed the subject, and asked expectantly:

"Then...then His Majesty the Winter King, have you found the Star Steel, the Balrog Heart and the Dwarf Master?"

Xiwei: "..."

"Star Steel is being collected. This is actually not difficult. The dwarf master has been found, and he is also a great master. The Balrog Heart will have to wait a little longer. Don't worry, Saraken will be resurrected in a short time."

"Oh...that's good, that's good, then...then, His Majesty the Winter King, do you have anything to do with Xinghai?"

Xinghai looked confused and tilted his head slightly, and the hairpin of the Saracen coral statue on his head also tilted.

"...They are the Kuo-Toa fishmen. I have found the Kuo-Toa fishmen. You said before that you could help me control them."

"Oh...yes, I'm sorry, Xinghai forgot again..."

Xinghai narrowed his eyes and stuck out his tongue, with an embarrassed smile on his face.

After the explanation, Xiwei originally wanted to ask Nina to make a few stone figures and carry Xinghai to Cold Winter Lake, but after Xinghai found out, she was unwilling to do so, so she finally chose to take a carriage.

Xi Wei vaguely remembered that she was riding in the carriage when she first came to Winterfort.

At that time, she was with a group of demi-humans, and she was so confused that she was vomiting. She didn't expect that she would be so stubborn and choose to ride in a carriage now.

So he very thoughtfully stuffed a dozen bags in the carriage so that Xinghai could handle it himself when he couldn't help it anymore.

…

At the same time, on the shallow beach of Winter Lake.

Two to three thousand players surrounded a group of less than 500 Kuo-Toa on three levels inside and three levels outside. Most of them stood on the lake shoreline to prevent the Kuo-Toa from jumping into the water to escape.

A small number of people stayed within the lake shoreline, chasing the Kuo-Tao fishmen who were scurrying around like headless flies.

The Kuo-Tao fishmen were soon cornered.

They laughed "hey hey" with malicious smiles on their faces.

Yan Shuang, the most handsome man, stood in front of a group of Kuo-Toa fishmen with a stern look on his face. His broad body blocked their sight and their hope.

The long sword behind him cast a silhouette in the hot midday sun, turning into a blurry cylindrical black shadow on the Kuo-Toa man's face.

"Are you running? Are you going to keep running? Why don't you stop running? Huh?"

Yan Shuang, the most handsome man, smiled ferociously and struck the giant sword on his back in front of the Kuo Tao fish-man with a "clang" sound.

"Goo gah gah!"

The Kuo Tao fish man yelled, dropped the harpoon in his hand, took off a circle of tattered cloth strips on his body, and lay on the ground, sticking his butt out and shivering, and even pulled the surrounding sand to bury his head.

The players were a little confused by the Kuo Tao fishman's operations, but they still laughed loudly:

"Good guy, are you planning to bury yourself alive?"

"Bury it. Even if you bury yourselves alive today, you still have to obey us, hehehe..."

These Kuo-Toa people are no match for the players at all. Now that they can't escape no matter how hard they try, they simply give up resistance. They don't understand Common Language and think they are going to die.

But they don't want to be eaten by the players, so they can only bury themselves in this clumsy way.

These Kuo Tao fish people are just exploited under the command of the Green-footed Dragon Snake, and they do the most painful and tiring work.

Not only do the green-footed dragon snakes have to patrol their territory every day, but they also have to help it find suitable prey. They even have to wipe the scales of the green-footed dragon snake every day. If the green-footed dragon snake is unhappy, they may become snacks and be eaten.

【Ding! The hidden mission of capturing Kuo Tao fishmen has been completed. All players who participated in the capture will receive rewards, including equipment redemption coupons x5 and experience points of 5000]

The sound of the system prompts the players to wake up from the joy of watching the Kuo Tao fishmen.

They discovered that King Winter had arrived at some point, and he was accompanied by the livid-faced Xinghai, but he was still placed in a big basin like that.

"Xinghai, don't worry..."

Xiwei looked worried at Xinghai who looked ugly.

As expected, this fish-woman lady still got motion sickness.

But maybe it was because she didn't eat much in the morning, so she just retched for a long time when she got off the carriage, but she didn't vomit in the end.

Just from the looks of it, my body is still very uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, I'm fine...let me talk to these Kuo-Toa people alone for a while. Don't worry, I will convince them."

Xiwei didn't say anything after hearing this. He asked Luo Li, who had been following him, to put an immunity and death shield on Xinghai, and asked an elite priest to put a protective holy shield on Xinghai.

Then he ordered the soldiers to carry Xinghai in front of the Kuo Tao fish people.

Then he ordered everyone except the players blocking the lake shoreline to step back and give Xinghai and Kuo Tao a space to talk alone.

Xiwei observed that after the appearance of Xinghai, the emotions of these Kuo Tao fish people became much calmer, and the fear in their eyes was also reduced. Most of them looked at Xinghai with closeness and admiration.

On the shallow beach in the distance, Xinghai's red lips opened and closed, and a melodious tone came out.

Xiwei couldn't understand what Xinghai was talking about, but it felt like a song but not a song. He could still vaguely hear the sound of the waves and the melodious neighing of whales.

This reminded him of the story of the sirens singing on the rocks to attract sailors.

No wonder it can become the vessel of Poseidon.

The sea of ​​stars does indeed belong to the sea.

Xiwei couldn't help but feel a little ashamed at this moment that he had kept Xinghai under house arrest for so long.

"Your Majesty the Winter King, it's okay. They will obey your orders in the future, but I ask you not to abuse them. They will work well for you."

Xinghai was brought back by the soldiers. She looked at Xiwei, her sea-blue eyes filled with expectation and pleading.

"No problem, I will treat them according to the standards of workers, provided they do not harm my people."

After hearing Xiwei's words, Xinghai's eyes became softer and a warm smile bloomed on his face.

"Don't worry, if they don't obey you, you can do whatever you want with them."

Xiwei nodded after hearing this, looked at Xinghai's soft face, pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind to ask:

"Xinghai, do you want to go back to the sea?"

"...No, Xinghai just wants to stay in that fountain, where there are flaming stone figures..."

As the mermaid girl said this, she squeezed the Saraken statue she had been holding in her hand a little tighter.

PS【Popular Science】

The extinct kuo-toa once populated the coasts and islands of the surface world.

However, a long time ago, humans and other surface races drove the Kuo-Toa people into the underground world, allowing them to live in madness and darkness for generations.

From then on the kuo-toa never returned to the sun.

【Crazy slave】

During the heyday of the illithid empire, the mind flayers captured thousands of kuo-toas to serve as their servants. These simple creatures are powerless against the illithid's powerful mind control.

After being abandoned by the mind flayers, the long-term mental suppression caused the Kuo Toa people to eventually fall into madness.

With a broken heart that could never be healed, the kuo-toa devoted themselves to religious fanaticism and even created their own gods to protect themselves from threats. Most of these threats come from the drow, the two races having drawn swords against each other when they first met, and their animosity continues to this day.

【God Maker】

The gods worshiped by the Kuo Toa are actually just their crazy creations, but with the power of enough believers, the gods of the Kuo Toa can still materialize. The image of the Kuo Tao deity is inspired by the miracles that occurred because of it, so it often appears quite random and absurd.

The most revered of these self-created deities was the "Mother of the Sea" Bribodup, a human woman with a shell draped over her shoulders and a crayfish head and claws.

The image of Bullidolp may be the product of the kuo-toa using various carapace to repair human statues.

The exquisite image of the restored handicraft suddenly impressed the Kuo-Toa people, and a god was born.

The kuo-toa often worship the aboleths they encounter as gods.

Even if they are used for evil purposes, the crazy kuo-toa will selectively ignore the facts.
