"Lord Fenerworth is here, everyone is silent!"
With the arrival of the shark god from the sea, countless waves began to surge, and large clouds of mist suddenly rose from the calm water. Fish followed the current and swam to the sky above the village.
The heavy rain poured down, turning every human being who was kneeling respectfully and praying into a drowned rat.
The cold wind was biting and the snow was flying. Everyone, adults and children, was shivering from the cold, but they couldn't escape because this heavy rain was a gift from the god they believed in.
If someone unfortunately falls ill during this heavy rain, it only means that he is not blessed with the mercy of the gods.
The villagers themselves also know that they can get the permission of the gods to live here and do not have to starve to death in this vast white snowfield. They are already happier than many tribes who have not received the protection of the gods.
Now it's just the occasional heavy rain and the sacrifices to please the gods, and it's all worth it.
"Very good, where is my offering?"
A rough voice suddenly sounded, the clouds gradually dispersed, and the heavy rain did not stop. However, a broad throne made of countless large fish with black scales suddenly appeared in the water.
And the silver mackerel fish, which is the same as the village god statue, is lying on it. The smooth and smooth human head has a very strange shape. It is more like a fish head than a human face. (Everyone can imagine the face of a blobfish.)
"We have already prepared it, Lord Fenerworth, please enjoy."
Following the old priest's order, two tall and skinny men stood up and untied the cauldron from the shelf, and then carried it to the water bank with a clatter.
Feneworth's protruding eyes rolled around under his eyelids, and then he looked down at the contents of the cauldron, followed by a heavy cold snort.
"It's just this little thing! How dare you perfuse me!? I have taken you into my territory, protected you, and guided you, but what about you? You actually perfunctory me! Are you worthy of me!"
As he spoke, he cried loudly. Infected by his emotions, the fish in the big lake began to become restless.
Chu Qi, who was hiding aside, frowned silently. She could feel that the demon named Fenevorth was not deliberately acting out, but he really felt that he was not full, so he felt aggrieved from the bottom of his heart.
And as Silver Mackerel's dissatisfied words came out, the raindrops that landed on the village became obviously larger and denser.
The continuous rain intertwined with the cold wind, hitting the person's body, like ice needles piercing into the person's skin and flesh.
Some children couldn't bear it any longer. They sobbed softly and shuddered all over.
When the children and mothers saw it, they quickly covered their mouths with quick eyes and hands. At the same time, they gently gathered the children to their sides, silently using their bodies to protect them from the wind and rain.
"Please forgive me! We have almost finished hunting the wild boars around, and they rarely appear in the daytime now. It takes us a few days to hunt down a wild boar, and we can only eat some fruits to fill our stomachs... ...We...we have no choice! Please...forgive us..."
The old priest lay on the ground in panic. He tearfully explained to the gods how difficult it was for his people, in an attempt to win the gods' forgiveness.
There are fewer and fewer prey around. If they want to hunt more prey, then they have to risk leaving the sanctuary and run outside to fight with the monsters. However, they are humans, and they are also... afraid of death!
What's more, is it really right for people like them to scrimp on food and clothing every day just to save food and offer it to the gods?
Even, not only must they be offered to the gods, but the fish under the gods must also be raised by them!
My children don't have enough to eat every day, and their eyes are shining when they stare at the water, but they can't fish because of the gods' joy and anger!
Do they really...want to continue like this?
"Wow - I don't care! We agreed to offer a big pot of meat every three days, did you secretly hide the meat?! I don't want to eat the leaves! I don't care, you have to go hunting again, When will I have enough meat for a whole pot, and when will I stop the rain! Hum!"
The angry God of the Shark whimpered and cursed a few more times before he was willing to leave. However, before he left, he didn't forget to take the big pot with him.
This was good news. The villagers who failed to please the gods but angered them were dumbfounded - they couldn't even save the only cauldron in their village.
The big silver fish left with a curse, and the school of fish also dispersed, leaving only the heavy rain that had not dispersed, and the group of confused and sad humans in the rain.
"Why……"
"Are we really going out?"
"Mom, I'm so hungry..."
"Ooooooo, stop screaming, mom, I'm hungry too!"
"Priest, when will these days end?"
Tiny sobs rang out from the crowd, and the old priest got up from the ground with a painful look on her face. She turned around and stared at her clansmen, and finally let out a long sigh.
"Go home first. Let's discuss it tonight...discuss whether we should move..."
The crowd gradually dispersed, and Chu Qi walked out of the bushes where he was hiding.
She seems to have found a valid reason to abduct people and go back to build Mingguan Mountain.
It's just that human beings in this era live a really miserable life.
God’s lover is full of strange things.
Just like Dick Lapian, he regards his lover as an all-round protection, and he always tries to keep all dangers away from the wind wall by himself.
He hoped that his people would only need to grow up quietly and peacefully under his protection. They would not have to worry about anything every day. They would only need to chant his name and promote his great power.
That's fine.
His love is both careful protection and a cage of wanton entanglement.
Another example is Andrius. As a demon god who chose to take a non-human form, he does care more about wolves like himself, but he will not be more partial to wolves because of this.
He just won't intervene in the war between humans and wolves.
His love is natural selection, natural, like wild breath, but at the same time, it is also savage.
Another example is the silver mackerel, which is completely opposite to the two wind demons.
He regards love as just a transaction.
He provides shelter to the villagers, and the villagers need to provide him with delicious and abundant food.
Oh, and his fish also need to be fed.
This shark god's love for humans is empty and illusory.
well……
Chu Qi sighed, as if she suddenly realized something unspeakable.
And when she didn't know it, the system's search range had expanded unknowingly.
