Fishing Druid in Another World

Coming to the place where the marshlanders who were rescued last night lived, Faust's attention was not on the items and facilities abandoned by the marshlanders.

For him, the whole place can be summarized in one sentence, which is a few things that can barely be considered houses, and the garbage piles around them.

Of course, there are actually some utensils that can be used.

For example, pots, pans, and bowls.

For such items, the Dark Forest has not formed a significant product advantage, not because it cannot be made, but because the market is too small and not worth the scale.

Take the marshlanders here as an example. Those with better conditions and more attention to detail only use exquisite wooden bowls, with flowers carved on them, and edges on them.

The poor ones use shallow woven plates with leaves on them as food containers. If this thing is left on the road in the Dark Forest, ordinary people are too lazy to pick it up.

In addition, due to the excessive moisture, the clothes of the people in the marshland are also very simple, and basically they wear one piece and change one piece. Many men wear a loincloth with a door curtain and a butt curtain, while women use a cloth strip to make an X on their chest. The better ones are slightly decorated, with decorations ranging from stones to shellfish to wood and bones. There is no gold or silver, which is too easy to rust.

So, in Faust's eyes, the people in the marshland are so poor that even the ascetic monks shed tears when they see them.

Such a place for the poor to live in, and with the background of attracting disasters, is really a place where the shanties are raised high.

To put it in a disgusting way, the excrement is not cleaned up properly, just like an alternative old-fashioned pigsty. What is there to note about such a place?

And their marsh mussel industry has long been destroyed by the refugees who fled, to the extent that even the crops they planted are eaten.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Faust came half a month later, even if these people did not die, the rest would have become cannibals and could not be taken in.

Faust was not willing to think too much about the matter of salvation. He neither felt great nor guilty.

The feeling of doing this was different from the feeling of taking in a group of puppies shivering on the road, because these refugees did not give him the emotional value that the puppies could provide.

The emotional value that the refugees gave him was more like giving a child on the roadside five yuan to ask him to help him get a bottle of iced mineral water from the opposite store, and the rest was for the child.

He said that he was quite a big shot and spent his change to order others, which was fine.

He said that happiness is better shared than happiness alone, and it is OK if you are happy and the children are happy.

When picking up puppies, they are generally prepared to raise them, at least hoping that they will wag their tails and scatter flowers when they see them in the future.

He did not have similar expectations for refugees, and was even afraid that they would stick to him desperately.

But it is not right to say that he is grateful but does not seek repayment. He wants to repay, but ordinary people may not understand this repayment, that is, as long as they live well.

The reason has been mentioned before, about the water god believed by the marshland people and the huge faith power accumulated over a long period of time.

He is not interested in this kind of power, but he does not want to be obtained by the evil god.

He also thought, why not create a water god, take the opportunity of salvation, transfer the faith power of the water god, and put it in his pocket?

Unfortunately, he really lacks understanding of the belief system, and he does not want to cause trouble to Priest Luo. He asked Spring, but Spring could not explain it.

Although many werewolves believe in the Moon God Cult, in fact, the sect is a typical secret cult. It does not preach or preach. The believers are a specific group, and most of the systems related to the priesthood have nothing to do with the believers.

Such a cult is obviously not suitable for connecting with the water god. Faust does not think it is right to disturb Priest Luo at this time and let Priest Luo design a set of belief system for it.

After all, after the design, it must be implemented. It is just what he is not good at, so why should he embarrass Priest Luo and himself and do such an uncertain thing? Is this the only way to solve the problem?

In fact, he still hopes to do what he is good at.

What is he good at? Of course, it is reconnaissance, looking for weaknesses, and then a knife to make the opponent look good.

As an assassin, his reconnaissance can be very traditional, secretive and silent.

But most of the time, it seems that there is no need to do so.

Like now, coming here carelessly and letting the existence hidden in the dark jump out is also a way.

Unfortunately, Faust did not see anything evil here, even the black fog that seemed to be alive last night was gone, there was only gray fog, which was thicker than the water fog that the locals usually saw, but that was all.

"It's interesting, and they are still playing tricks on the skills!" Faust strolled around and looked for suspicious points.

It was this fog that trapped the people of the marshland and made them unable to escape, and exhausted them to the point of cannibalism.

But now it has disappeared, without even a decent trace.

"It's not magic, it's more like witchcraft, the ancient kind. But even witchcraft has a core and residual power. What is it?" Faust frowned.

Simply put, the main difference between magic and witchcraft is that the former is more orderly and the latter is more chaotic.

Magic is always accompanied by a magic model, just like an abstract device is used to process energy into the desired shape, just like using a lathe to process metal parts.

And witchcraft is like playing a chemical reaction. The spiritual power of the caster is the stirring stick. The chemical substances in the vessel are fully reacted, which is what the caster wants.

There is no doubt that magic is more accurate, but the chemistry experts are familiar with the effects and formula ratios, and it doesn't look bad.

However, no matter which one it is, there will be traces. Of course, it can be covered up and erased, but erasing also leaves traces, just like using a blackboard eraser to wipe the handwriting on the blackboard, but there will be white powder left.

Faust is the son of nature. Who can erase the handwriting on the big blackboard of nature without him noticing?

Even if it can be done, what kind of cost is that?

If the opponent is really generous to this extent, then he will have to completely overturn the previous analysis. This time, the logarithm is not short of money at all, and everything in the swamp is purely for fun!

Two hours, three hours passed quietly, and there was no gain.

The scavenging group of Spring came over, and the leader asked him if the garbage dump of the people in the swamp could be moved? What if it was like a murder scene, and the clues were destroyed, then it would be meaningless.

Faust waved his hand impatiently, and the scavenging group started.

Other things were fine, but they were just sorting and picking out the usable ones to take away. What surprised Faust was that the scavengers could even use the feces excreted by the people in the swamp.

Rapid degradation, and the extraction of fertilizer-like substances in the process, felt very awesome, really extraordinary means, the concept of science and technology, and took the utilization to a certain extreme.

Faust was a bystander, and until the end, he did not find anything suspicious, or anything that could be called a clue.

So, he and the scavengers took the hovercraft back to Xinyi Castle.

This hovercraft was the one that Pastor Luo used when he went to the Great Swamp with the mage Yoanni of the Order Spire on Alex.

Of course, there are some differences in structure and size, but the core is the same.

This vehicle is quite suitable for use in the swamp. It is much faster and more comfortable than riding a horse. It is not fast in terms of showing off, but it is not the same style as riding on water.

Faust thought that he might as well build a whole one for fun.

New Fort 1, you can tell from the name that Faust is too lazy to even come up with a name, and there will also be New Fort 2 and New Fort N.

In fact, New Fort 1 now has more than the thousands of people rescued last night.

When Faust went to the marshland stronghold for reconnaissance for the second time, the Undead Slave Cavalry conducted a carpet search of the marshland sector planned by Faust, involving New Fort 1, and found and rescued several groups of marshland people again, making the total number exceed 15,000.

According to Faust's plan, he will build a series of shelters with fortresses as the core on the south, southeast, east, northeast, and north sides of the marshland except the western ocean side.

Each shelter will have its own area for exploring the depth of the marshland.

This area is not an area for production and life, but an area for searching for survivors.

Once his plan is completed, it means that nearly half of the land in the marshland has been swept by him. It is equivalent to a pizza, biting from the outside to the inside, and chewing off most of the circle.

The so-called nearly half of the land is calculated based on its total area, and it is not particularly deep.

The reason for this planning is that he tacitly assumes that the deep areas and core areas of the marshland have all fallen and have no value to be saved.

No value to be saved does not mean that there are no living people or survivors, but that no matter in terms of time, experience, etc., or in terms of harvest results, it cannot reach the passing line he has drawn.

For this reason, the survivors of the marshland people in this area are equivalent to being abandoned by him.

He just wants to pick the soft persimmons and collect as many marshland people as quickly as possible with his limited manpower.

Of course, there are still problems in reality. For example, the marshland people are trapped by the active black fog, which greatly increases the construction period of the shelter.

Faust really didn't expect that the marshland people were so bad, and they looked like they would destroy their country and race if there was no external force.

He thought that he and his group would at least be able to see a few refugee camps with smoke rising from cooking fires on the outskirts of the marshland when they rode here, but in the end, they were unable to move in the foggy marshland, and they were playing cannibalism.

He didn't want to complain about anything, so he asked Spring about the situation and confirmed that Spring could still hold on. He couldn't help but sigh that his teacher, Pastor Luo, was really awesome. Even these servants who were taken in casually in the past, after more than ten years of conversion, have become big hands who can take on big things.

That evening, before dinner, Tahir and a cavalry team came back.

They were the last one and went the farthest.

Tahir had a sense of mission. In order to save his compatriots as much as possible, he worked tirelessly and feared no hardships. Because he knew that the search red line drawn by Faust was basically the line of life and death. On the other side of the line, the probability of survival would suddenly drop to a desperate low.

Therefore, he was willing to step on the line, not too much, and get as much as he could.

But for Faust, this was not a credit.

Faust only looked at the big data, 320, not too much more, not too little less. But he was unwilling to delay the progress of the overall journey because of these 320.

After all, it means giving up at least 3200, or even more, for 320. As time goes by, people die every day, and the efficiency of rescue becomes worse in the later stage.

But Tahir brought some other information that Faust was interested in.

According to Tahir, he talked to the survivors and found that not all the survivors were as miserable as the ones rescued by Faust and his team last night.

Some are okay, even though they are trapped, they still seem to be able to hold on.

This is not the point. The point is that the strange things they encountered were not that severe.

This is a bit interesting, bullying the weak and fearing the strong?

The problem is that the gang is not very tough. There are only a few hundred people, including the old, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant.

An idea flashed in Faust's head, and his intuition told him that the secret of the black mist might be hidden in it.

So he asked the two relatively typical gang elders to be called in for questioning, with Tahir acting as translator.

By understanding the details, Faust discovered that these two gangs are also local residents and can be understood as an alternative natural village, living here for generations.

And they have been less exposed to external shocks, including receiving fewer foreign refugees.

This is not the crux of the matter, because Faust knows that there is a settlement that simply refuses foreign refugees, and the situation it encounters is more terrifying than the weirdness faced by the thousands of people he saved last night. In their own words: "Flying weirdness" Go directly into the settlement and massacre!”

If it comes from the ground or water, you can also use fences or something to prevent it. There is really nothing you can do from the sky. It is called black mist, which disappears and appears. The knife flies away, and the knife comes down again later...

It's not about taking in foreign refugees, but it seems to have something to do with it, because they don't take in many.

So what is the reason that makes the situation of these two gangs far less bad than others?

As the understanding becomes deeper and more comprehensive, the answers emerge.

Both gangs have leaders whom everyone trusts. They handle the strange things well and in an orderly manner. The mentality of everyone is stable, they share the same hatred and the same enemy, and they go through hardships together, and their resistance performance is relatively good.

Faust understood, it was emotion!

The power of the evil gods can absorb and utilize people's negative emotions!

The more panic, panic, worry, and despair, the more powerful and weird the evil becomes.

The answer was found, and the reason why nothing was found after a second inspection during the day was also found.

The main body of the black mist is the refugees!

The refugees have moved, and the main reason for the existence of the black fog is gone, leaving only the thick fog.

This kind of fog is indeed abnormal, but there is no need to study it in detail. It is like sprinkling gunpowder powder on a huge piece of land. Even if you know its existence, it is not worth sweeping away. Paying more and getting less may not be of much use.

But in the hands of people who specialize in playing this system, it can be a kind of background color. With this little bit, many gameplays can be built.

Not the key, not even the green leaves, but a necessary drama.

Faust went to find Spring.

Emotional power is classified as soul power. It is completely understandable for the evil god to play this trick, but he is not good at it. He can only seek help from the Moon God Sect to see if there is any way to deal with it.

Of course there is.

Priest Luo is the ruler of the old days and is considered a companion of the Dark One.

The Dark Ones are good at utilizing the soul power represented by negative emotions, and Priest Luo is also very good at it.

It’s just that the entry point of the soul witch technical system is not this. Normally, Priest Luo only needs the ability of the psychic warrior as protection. Then he is invulnerable to all evil and will not be taken advantage of in this regard. No matter how rich the dark ones are, they will all be missed. Just call out.

But Priest Luo knows very well how evil and terrifying this method of corroding and playing with the minds of living beings is, so the Moon God Sect has the best prevention methods and strength in this regard, which can be said to be the best in the main material plane.

After listening to Faust's words, Spring laughed and said: "It's also strange that the gods that the Zedi people believe in are imaginary and unreal. But any true god would not let such a thing happen, at least it would not be so miserable. , becoming a utilized candle.

It's up to us to solve it. A little trick and a torch of faith can solve the problem..."

Soon, Spring's methods came.

To put it bluntly and simply, it is to build confidence. Let people sincerely believe that this kind of torch can eliminate the black fog and resist evil.

Due to the current actual situation, it is natural to put on a play to match it.

Basically, it's an invasion of evil spirits. It's quite intimidating. It's black mist, ferocious in form, and powerful.

As a result, the refugees were naturally trembling with fear, and some were beginning to count down to collapse. Spring sent people to meet the enemy, and as soon as the torch came out, the monsters retreated and dispersed.

The refugees breathed a sigh of relief. The savior was just awesome, and the weird and evil was no match for them.

As a result, Spring started a PUA, saying that we are not your parents, and we cannot take care of you for the rest of your life. You must learn to take care of yourself. This torch of faith is given to you, but you must also be more confident and learn to use it...

In fact, the Zedi people are not weaklings and trash. If they were, they would have been eliminated by nature long ago due to the difficult living environment of the Zedi.

They were just deeply frightened, and at the same time they were shocked by the werewolves' stature. They felt small, inferior, and lost the courage to face the danger bravely.

Of course, this loss of courage is also due to the fact that the enemy is too strange and unknown. They are not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, but no amount of blood can be exchanged for results, which makes people despair.

So what they need is understanding and technology.

But their cultural heritage is there, and it is not so easy to understand the extraordinary. Spring had also seen similar fools, so he pretended to be a fool.

It's wrong to fool people, but sometimes it's more important to achieve your goals.

Soon, a new drama unfolded. Since they were divided into different groups, some camps performed well while others performed poorly.

Then there was on-site teaching, and they told their own stories about why they performed well. Everyone believed in the power of the torch of faith, because it really worked, and it was especially good in the hands of werewolves. Ordinary people could not compare to werewolves, but they could still do it. If they could not do it, it meant that they were not good enough. If they really could not do it, then die!

As a result, they successfully rebounded from the bottom. In order to survive, many people burst out with powerful thoughts. Spring secretly controlled them and naturally gave them enough effects.

These incompetent people were so happy that they burst into tears and hugged and cheered.

The basic self-confidence was established, and the next step was to cultivate and strengthen.

In fact, the power of the evil god has not yet spread to this area. The dark invasion was secretly created by Spring. As long as they have been trained for a period of time, even if the evil really arrives, they will not be able to make a big noise because there is not enough negative emotions. Then it will really become a paper tiger.

Faust understood the evil god's gameplay and untied his knot. It is no longer limited to the seven-day cycle originally set with Spring.

Because the fortress is not absolutely necessary.

Originally, the fortress was used as the last refuge. Once the evil god was powerful and invaded with force, the refugees would rely on the fortress for defense and wait for help.

But looking at the tricks played by the evil god now, its capital seems to be limited. Even if it snowballs, it will be too small at the beginning, and the transition period before achieving a big trend will inevitably be longer.

To put it more simply, the evil god's power has been stretched, and the core area of ​​the swamp is enough for it to be busy swallowing and digesting during this period. These peripheral areas are just preparations for it to prepare in advance, so that when it is swallowed in the future, this side has been made into delicious food, or it can simply be sent to its mouth.

In this case, the approach of building a fortress is a bit too conservative. Not to mention that the possibility of the evil god's expedition is very low. Even if it really does, it will not be a frequent event, or a multi-pronged attack. At that time, Spring will support it with aerospace battleships.

Of course, to change to a more radical strategy, there is another job to do well, that is, intelligence.

In fact, the pressure of this intelligence work is not that great. As long as we keep an eye on the large forces of the evil gods, we can deal with the small ones. Each shelter has a guide who is also a supernatural thug to lead the refugees to deal with it. It is not a big problem.

In this way, basically one shelter is built every five days. From the beginning of autumn to the early winter, Faust has built a total of 22 shelters, not counting Heisenberg on the Grey Spear Coast.

In the later period, in the deeper part of the marshland, there was a brief confrontation with the minions of the evil gods. The opponent's troops were not weak, with sufficient numbers and many high-level ones. It seemed that they wanted to make a big move, but they were hit head-on. In just ten minutes, one third of them were destroyed. There were many high-level supernaturals among them.

It must be said that such killing ability scared the evil gods. In the middle and late stages, they had already noticed the intervention of external forces and integrated the remaining forces of the marshland, but they did not expect that this external force would be so strong.

After all, according to their thinking, if the enemy had such strength, they should have attacked Huanglong and directly blasted their core forces to collapse. Why would they need to wait for mushrooms on the periphery?

Little did they know that they were afraid of Faust's strong combat power, and Faust was afraid that the evil god would play a game of death too early. Let him chop off the evil god's claws. His knife is very sharp, but if he confronts the evil god, he will have no way to fight.

Pastor Luo had a conversation with him not long ago and talked about the situation in the evil god dimension.

The evil god is indeed in prison, but this cell is the result of external forces and the evil god himself.

Simply put, the evil god was defeated in the distant past, an era when human history had no records at all, but because it was deeply bound to the four elements, the winner could not completely eliminate it.

In metaphysical terms, the evil gods are all in harmony with the Tao, and they are in harmony with the important avenues of this universe. If they are killed directly, even if they have the ability, it is equivalent to breaking the load-bearing pillars. They can't bear to break one, let alone four.

The four elements are the basic forces for building the extraordinary universe. Unless the evil gods are separated from them, there is really no good way to deal with them.

So, the winner took the means of sealing.

And the evil gods did not dare to jump too much. The losers had to treat the losers with the minimum attitude. If the winners really wanted to deal with them regardless of anything, then they would have no future.

So, the evil gods gave up the power of the elemental law, which was considered to be surrendering their guns.

But what they surrendered were the guns they built in this universe. Some of them were not surrendered when they came, and they could not be surrendered.

In addition, although they surrendered their guns, they had mastered the elemental law in depth, so they could still use some of it. This is the origin of the dimensional cage.

The winners also acquiesced to this outcome and gave them a long chance to recover.

The subtext of this opportunity is that if we still can't come up with a way that we think is suitable to deal with you, then even if you win the game again and escape successfully.

Then there are vicissitudes of life until today.

According to Priest Luo, those victors at that time were probably too confident and had not been able to come back for so long.

But the four evil gods were not much better. Although they were not dead bones in the tomb, they were not much better.

But there were also surprises. The surprise was that the four heavenly kings might be five people.

There were not four evil gods, but five. It seemed that the fifth one did not participate in the war that year. The reason was not that the other party had foresight or was insidious enough. The victor would not allow such a variable to exist, or ignore this fish that slipped through the net.

According to Priest Luo's estimation, these five may have been killed by the four evil gods in this universe.

In other words, the fifth evil god was the weakest one at the beginning.

Among the evil gods, there is basically no one who is particularly annoying, so that the others work together to target him.

The biggest possibility of him being targeted is that he is weak, and weakness is the original sin. Once the other four are absolutely sure to divide and devour him at a relatively low cost, they will do it.

As a result, although the fifth evil god is weak, he is also an outer god of the heavens after all. Although he died, he did not die simply.

It is not clear whether he has a backup in this universe or a clone from another universe.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that this guy outside the cage is making trouble. His strength level is not good, but he has the technical level, vision and consciousness of the evil god level, so he is trying to exploit the four evil gods in prison.

The four evil gods who were arrogant and thought they could break through the cage and restore the old state were repeatedly beaten by reality and had to bow their heads and cooperate.

It is highly likely that the pollution of the dream dimension was planned and opened by the fifth evil god under such a background, and it was implemented bit by bit.

Therefore, Priest Luo reminded Faust that once the evil god trapped in the water element cage behind the marshland was forced too much, he would not hesitate to help the fifth evil god, and the situation would immediately become unmanageable.

As for the evil god trapped in the fire element cage, that is, the so-called evil god dimension, as long as Priest Luo is given a few more years, there will definitely be a good result.

Although Priest Luo did not specify what the good result would be, Faust could feel that it was not as simple as the fire evil god being completely separated from the law of the fire element and being completely and thoroughly killed.

Because once such a thing happens, the other evil gods are likely to cooperate with the fifth evil god absolutely, through a special contract, at the cost of their own sacrifice, to help the fifth evil god and let him fight to the death with Priest Luo.

He must keep a humble hope, and then try to repeat the successful method, or kill the fifth evil god first, and then talk about other things.

In any case, it is not suitable for him to break up with the water evil god behind the swamp for the time being, this is unquestionable.

Compared with this, let alone the core area of ​​the swamp that has been sacrificed, even if the 22 established shelters are sacrificed, and even the human kingdom that he and Priest Luo are familiar with, it is an affordable price.

If the evil god really wants to fight to the death, and only relies on its law of harmony to pry open an elemental force, that is, landslides and tsunamis, land subsidence, ecological extinction, the main material world, and even the structure of the universe will be distorted and changed.
