Inside the Reef Hall.
Fang Hao sat on the coral chair, looking with puzzlement at the Fishmen lord and the Priest beside him.
The Fishmen's attitude towards him seemed a bit different from yesterday.
"Lord Guk Tuk, what's going on outside?" Fang Hao voiced his confusion.
It looked like the Fishmen bore no hostility towards him.
Moreover, there was an excessive amount of reverence.
The Fishmen lord glanced at the Priest.
The latter, swaying his long fish whiskers, explained, "Although our people's belief is devout, the long absence of a response from the Father God has led us to much confusion and obstacles. Now, with the appearance of the Divine Child, you have brought new hope to everyone."
Fang Hao carefully analyzed the statement.
The meaning was that they had not received a response from the god and were now pinning their hopes on him, a false 'chosen one'.
In fact, the god the Fishmen worshiped probably no longer existed.
