Chapter 406 is so strange, take another look
A woman with pointed ears and a tail came to the city, and she was always followed by a giant cat follower.
Sidal liked her handsome, well-cut leather armor and her amber eyes.
Everyone said that the woman was a distinguished guest of the king, and she must have come from another world—the greatest possibility was from the main world where the honorable Messenger of the Gods was.
Many people are guessing whether she is an apostle, a prophet, or a hero.
"It must be an apostle. Didn't you see that Master Appia is very polite to her? Only apostles have this kind of treatment."
"No, no, I don't feel the oppression of the apostle, but the big cat is more terrifying... She is more like a prophet, right? She walks around every day, and she should be thinking about spreading the faith."
"What's her name? What should I call her if I meet her?"
"Who knows? Whatever it is, it must be someone big."
The big man came to this small kingdom and didn't have much influence on the common people. They who are high above have no intersection with the bottom who work every day.
14-year-old Siddhar thinks so too.
He is a herdsman with ten cows. These cattle are sometimes used to plow the land, and more often they are taken by Sidal to find water and forage, and give birth to more calves after filling their stomachs.
On this day, Siddall wore his favorite wide-brimmed cowhide hat, and rode his bone horse with long legs as usual, patrolling around the herd.
He holds a long bone whip, carries a rough wooden shield on his back, and a bone mallet tied to his horse's back—as a bone herder, he must not only ensure that the cattle are fed, but also protect these livestock.
Suddenly, Siddhar noticed a strange flower growing on the ground.
The flower is composed of crab shells, red and white, with a strange and deadly beauty.
so weird.
Take another look.
He found that there was a bone palm under the flower.
Sidal dug up the gravel and soil below, and dug out a section of the forearm. I don't know which bone ancestor was still holding on to this flower before he died. It could be seen that the deceased liked the flower very much.
Then, I'll keep it for you.
Sidal pulled out the arms and the flowers together, and put them into the sack on the horse's back.
When he came back to his senses, he felt something abnormal.
The herd of cattle gathered together, which was a signal that they found danger, and the surrounding became extremely quiet, only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the treetops.
Sidal pulled out the bone mallet, put the shield on his arm, and focused on guarding against the distance.
Soon enemies appear.
It was a pack of gray wolves, thirteen in total.
Not right.
Sidal's black eye sockets looked eastward, and there were twenty heads.
He glanced west again.
No, it is thirty-three heads.
The wolves rushed towards the herdsman Sidar with a clear goal, not giving him any chance to escape.
Sidal took out the bone whistle and rescued the nearest herdsmen.
It's not just stuck or cracked, the bone whistle can't make any sound today.
Although Sidal tried hard to gather the cattle, the panic caused by the impact of the gray wolf caused the cattle to flee in all directions. Once the cattle dispersed, these domestic animals became chased prey one by one.
Sidal was carrying a bone horse, swung the bone whip vigorously, and whipped a gray wolf to the ground, rolling and howling in pain. The pack of wolves began to bite the ground bone horse's buttocks, but was kicked violently by the bony-looking bone horse. The two wolves whimpered softly and limped away into the distance.
The herdsmen have their own ways of dealing with wild animals.
Sidal specially made a pair of special horseshoes for the bone horse's legs, specially matching it when grazing. There are sharpened bone cones and bone spurs on the horseshoes. As long as the legs are kicked or the hooves are raised, no matter whether it is a wolf or a bear, it will leave holes if it is kicked.
Relying on the long whip in his hand and the hooves of the bone horse, Siddart tried his best to drive and deter the gray wolves.
However, when the alpha wolf appeared, Siddhar felt chills in his heart.
It was a big man whose size was far superior to that of the group, and it was covered with blood scabs as if burned by flames.
After the head wolf joined the battle, the wolves immediately moved more orderly. The injured retreated automatically, and the wolves behind made up to surround Sidal firmly.
This is not an ordinary beast, but an extraordinary monster [Electric Wolf], which can cause shock-like paralysis and pain through touch and bite. If it is bitten by it, it will be electrified into black charcoal alive.
The electric wolf threw the bone horse down in one fell swoop, and Siddhar rolled twice on the ground in embarrassment. When he got up, the bone horse had been torn apart and could no longer stand up.
The alpha wolf stared at Dahl with cold eyes, and walked towards him in a victorious posture.
Sidal pressed the brim of his hat with his hand, lifted his shield with one hand, picked up the bone mallet on the ground, and walked step by step towards the wolf.
The other wolves around watched quietly.
Bad luck.
Today, it is estimated that even cattle leading people will have to be dismantled into bones.
Sidal doesn't have much fear in his heart. Death is a part of the daily life of this country. Every day, people he knows disappear and new people join. The ancestors of bones live in this cycle of death and life.
He felt more regretful.
It's a pity that such a strange flower was not brought back for everyone to see.
Sidal lowered his center of gravity and rushed forward, the bone mallet in his hand hit the monster's strong back, and the wolf king's **** mouth gnawed at the shield in one bite.
At that moment, Siddhar felt that every bone in his body was flashing blue light, and his mind became stiff and muddled.
He thought for no reason, this looks quite handsome.
The left arm holding the shield was completely crushed and fell off by the electric wolf, and its upper and lower jaws full of canine teeth ruthlessly bit down on Siddall's skull.
The last resistance of Siddhar was to use his own broken phalanx to insert into the wolf's stomach—but it was only inserted a little, which was regarded as reciprocity.
Right at this moment, suddenly the alpha wolf was grabbed by something, making Siddhar recover from the trance of death.
What grabbed the wolf's neck was a big pink cat, which was bigger than the largest brown bear. Under the round eyes, there was a big mouth that opened to both sides of the cheek.
It bared its teeth and grinned, as if what it had caught was not a ferocious electric wolf, but a little mouse. The electric wolf was trembling in its hands, shrinking its neck and clamping its tail tightly, not daring to resist at all.
The big cat is claiming credit for the person next to him.
The man has a pair of cat-like pointed ears on his head, is wearing leather armor, and has a soft and flexible fluffy tail behind him.
is the enigmatic apostle, and her cat.
She said something to the big cat, and Siddhar couldn't understand the cat language.
Then, the big cat pinched Electric Wolf's face, and Electric Wolf forced a smile.
It dropped the electric wolf casually, but the first wolf squatted on the ground motionless, afraid of angering the irresistible giant. After finally getting permission, it fled quickly with the wolves.
Catwoman walked to Siddall, she opened a small bottle, and a faint fragrance lingered around her immediately.
"Fortunately, I brought a mind-boosting mint, otherwise the dialogue would be a problem. The local language is more complicated than I thought..."
She murmured to herself, squatted down and looked at Siddall: "Can you still move?"
"able."
Sidal didn't know why he was able to understand the other party's words. He still hadn't recovered from his senses: "Thank you... for saving me."
"I met you passing by, it's easy to do. Then goodbye." She got up and was about to leave.
"that…"
Sidal asked cautiously: "Can you tell me your first and last name?"
"My name is Maocao, and I am a prophet under Lord Yao's command."
"God Yao... which **** is he?"
It was the first time Siddhar had heard this name.
The other party said patiently: "Lord Yao is not a **** of this world, but Yao has a cooperative relationship with the title **** [Messenger of the Gods] here, so I was sent to temporarily live in this world and do some field research."
Sidal half understood what he heard.
One thing he can be sure of is that this Maocao is indeed a noble person, and the status of the God Yao behind him is probably on the same level as Lord [Messenger of the Gods].
"Please wait for me."
Sidal stood up with one hand propped up. He put on the wide-brimmed fur hat, staggered to the side of the broken bone horse, took out something from the luggage, and carefully presented it to the cat grass with both hands.
"A little gift that is not respectful at all, please accept it."
When the other party saw the flower made of crab shells, his face showed a bit of surprise, and then he smiled: "Thank you, this is really a very special flower."
Cat grass accepted the crab shell flower with bones, and then she easily jumped onto the back of the big cat, and the big cat flew into the sky and burrowed into the clouds.
Since then, Siddhar began to pay attention to Maocao, the Prophet of Ability God.
She lives in an independent stone house outside the temple. The stone house has no roof, only four walls, and a statue of Yao God stands in the center.
Every day, Maocao would pray devoutly in front of the statue, and then she would ride away on a chinchilla and begin to look down on the whole world from the sky.
Out of curiosity, Siddhar went in to visit the statue of the mysterious god. Since there are no guards on both sides of this simple temple, entry and exit are not restricted.
Kneeling in front of the statue, Sidar also imitated the cat grass and said: "Great God Yao, please bless my safety and success..."
Here, even humble people can look up to the gods. In exchange for the Kingdom Temple, only with the permission of His Majesty the King can one have the opportunity to pray in front of the statue.
Siddar also saw that a small flowerbed was opened in the corner of the temple, and the crab shell flowers in the middle were surrounded by refreshing mint.
This made him feel a little unspeakable.
happy? excited? Still excited?
probably a little bit.
The prophets of the kingdom are high above the people, and they hardly talk to the common people. As the wise men recognized by the gods, they only serve the oracle, and it is their duty to praise the gods.
Maocao, the prophet of God Yao, not only saves people, but also listens to the voices of the ancestors of the bones.
She flies around every day, asking farmers, herdsmen, fishermen and workers, understanding their work and difficulties, and giving them help... This is something that the kingdom has never done before.
She said to everyone: "Lord Yaoshen also hopes that the civilization of the Sleepless can develop well. If you have any difficulties or good suggestions, you can come to me."
Nobody takes it seriously.
The master of the kingdom is the king. Above the kingship is the martyr who rules the world, and behind the martyrdom is the powerful messenger of the gods... No matter how powerful this Yao is, he will never come to this world.
Most of the ancestors of the bones are not very smart and flexible. This is the nature of the race, but it does not mean that the ancestors of the bones are all idiots. Everyone does not want to be liquidated by His Majesty the King afterwards.
One day, Siddhar was beaten badly by the requisition officer. He came to the temple of God Yao and said to Maocao out of anger, "Prophet, can you really help us?"
Mao Cao's ears moved: "Tell me and listen."
"We herdsmen try our best to graze cattle and sheep so that the livestock can grow faster and more, but the collectors always beat us, thinking that we are being lazy. Those cattle and sheep were attacked by wolves, bears and leopards in the wild. Many of our herdsmen Wounded and killed because of this, but the requisition officer refused to send soldiers to help us. What can we do?"
Maocao nodded: "How do you think this problem should be dealt with?"
"Many herdsmen believe that more skeleton dogs should be raised. They can scare off wild animals and give early warning. We have also asked for it in the past, but the kingdom thinks it is a waste of corpses..."
"Understood, I need to investigate and verify."
About a month later, the Kingdom promulgated new regulations: each herdsman will get a skeleton dog to help herd herds.
Sidal couldn't believe it.
The Prophet Maocao really went to speak for everyone, and His Majesty the King really listened to it!
Since then, Sidar frequently haunts the Temple of God Yao. Under his leadership, many herdsmen often go there to pray, thank the Prophet Maocao, ask for clarification and help.
For everyone's difficulties, Maocao listened carefully and recorded them on the parchment. She will conduct a detailed and comprehensive investigation, and actively pursue the parts that are true and can be resolved.
Gradually, more and more ancestors of the bones began to pray to the God Yao, and on the basis of their original beliefs, they also believed in the mysterious and benevolent God Yao.
Then one day, the apostle Appia came to the temple and said to Maocao: "Prophet Maocao... those common people will always have all kinds of troubles, so you don't have to rush around. The king governs the country It's already hard work, don't add extra burdens to him... as long as the population is growing, isn't it all right?"
Sidal was outside the wall at that time, building the outer wall of the temple, and he heard it clearly.
Maocao said: "Forgive me for disagreeing. The living conditions of civilians will directly affect the progress of the entire civilization. They are the cornerstone and weathervane of civilization. As long as there is room for improvement, I will continue to suggest and advise."
"Oh...why are you so serious?"
Apia's voice was somewhat helpless: “It's just a group of bone ancestors, they are just wood and dry grass that can move, so it's too hard to pay attention to.”
"It is not hard to execute the oracle of Lord Yao."
Maocao said resolutely: "Even ordinary people who only do simple labor can accomplish great things. This is the experience and criterion of our Yao people."
"In our Yao nationality, godslayers who are comparable to gods have also been born from ordinary people. Among the common people in this country, future prophets and heroes will also be born."
"Oh, what I mean is that this is the Civilization of the Sleepless, just a primary civilization made up of ancestors of white bones... It can't be compared with your Yao people. Lord Yao is a noble main god, so it can't be compared. As long as the civilians here can It's good to be alive." Appia sighed.
Outside the wall, Siddhar was in a trance, and his bone fingers gently pinched the clay.
Is it really possible for such a humble existence as a commoner to be comparable to a god?
Those Yao people who live under the protection of God Yao do not know what kind of life they live.
He wanted so much to see their kingdom and city with his own eyes.
