Chapter 1121: The Fish King's Tribute
Everyone continued to move forward for a while.
Shaye couldn't help but sigh when she looked at this village that was full of vitality and extremely beautiful in nature.
Saya: "It's such a big village...and it feels so cozy."
Saya: "It's completely impossible to tell that the Gate of Underworld is located here."
Ring Song: "Yes, meow~ That place is sealed very well, meow~ and most people can't see it, meow~"
Xuehua: "In a forbidden area? Is it surrounded by a wall?"
Ring Song: "That's right, meow~ Not only is there a high wall surrounding that area, but a very powerful barrier is also set up, meow~"
Ring Song: "After all, it is very dangerous for ordinary people to approach that door, nya~ They may be haunted by evil spirits, and then see many, many terrible things, nya~ They will most likely die in the end, nya~ Unless there is the underworld miko to help exorcise the evil, nya~"
Ashina: "Ah...is there a park on the other side of the lake?"
Lingge: "Yes, meow~ This is the park built for this lake, meow, you can row boats on it, meow, and there are people fishing and raising fish here, meow~"
Ashina: "Does it mean someone keeps fish for people to catch?"
Ring Song: "No, meow~ It is forbidden to fish in fish farming areas, meow~ Otherwise, you will be chased and beaten with fish~"
Ling Ge: "Yes, yes, this lake, you can even skate on it in winter, meow~"
Xuehua: "That road may be more complicated~"
Ashina: "...Why is there a temple on that small island in the middle of the lake?"
Ashina: "What is the sacrifice?"
Xuehua: "Wait! Let us guess first!
"
Ring song: "Meow~!" (Gagged by Xue Hua, the beast's ears trembled)
Xuehua: "Well... Judging from the appearance of this temple... the one worshiping is the Fish King!"
Saya: "Well, obviously... the plaque says it's the Temple of the Fish King."
Ashina: "Uh, that's it."
Xuehua: "We didn't look at the plaque! Really!"
Xue Hua: “This is based on our very good folklore knowledge!
"
Ling Ge: "No matter what, the answer from the Fish King Temple is definitely correct, meow~"
Ring Song: "Ashina, do you know what the Japanese Fish King is, nya?"
Ashina: "That one seems to be usually the name of the biggest and most difficult fish to catch in a certain fishing ground."
Lingge: "That's right, meow~ But there are also some giant fish kings with particularly strong magic power that even have the ability to control wind and rain in a certain area, so they will be sacrificed, meow~"
Lingge: "Because of this, various fish king temples appeared, meow~ There is also a fish king in the lake in Yitian Village, meow~"
Ling Ge: "It looks like a golden-red giant carp, meow~ It also has thick tentacle-like tentacles and gorgeous scales, and it can speak human language, meow~"
Ring Song: "Also, its voice is inexplicably close to that of the master of the house, meow~ But it has its own echo and a very low pitch, which makes it sound very powerful, meow~"
Ashina: "Does that mean we have to pay tribute to it?"
Xue Hua: "Does it want to eat children? Or does it want to eat beautiful girls?"
Ring Song: "That's impossible, meow~"
Ring Song: "The tribute requested by the Fish King is a dumpling made with a giant earthworm as the main ingredient and a large amount of sugar, meow~ It smells like earth, blood and sweetness mixed together, meow~"
Ling Ge: "These fish dumplings are specially provided by the King of Fish. When paying tribute, they are pulled directly to the lake on a cart and poured in. In exchange, it protects Yitian Village from drought and floods. It has always been
Effective meow~”
Suzuka: "My mother said that Erina-sama secretly ate a Fish King Dango because she liked dango so much, nya~ She vomited it out, washed it, washed it, and stuffed it back in, nya~"
Saya: "Ah this..."
Shaye: "Really?"
Lingge: "Of course it's a fake, meow~ I just vomited very badly, meow~ I even went to the hospital to have my stomach pumped, meow~"
Saya: "Speaking of hospitals...is there one in the village? Or is it just a clinic..."
