"Yes, it's him. Ruby paused, then continued: "There have been three monster attacks in the past seven days, although they are all low-level monsters who can't be put on the table, but the villagers are very fond of that. ”

Ruby glanced at Jack cautiously again, and his throat swelled up and down, and said:

"Most of the villagers don't know that they think that they have angered the fox god by digging a well, saying that you are stealing the authority of the fox god and need to ......."

The rupee is stuck in the shell.

"What do you say?!"

"Say ......"

Ruby only felt a dry mouth, and a little sweat oozed from the tip of his nose. Since Jack drilled the well, although the livestock and fields are still in a state of water shortage and drought, people are at least guaranteed.

He had drunk a large bowl of water before he came, but now he felt like he had a soldering iron in his throat, and he was itching unbearably, but he couldn't do anything else.

Sitting across from him, the small figure seemed to be hovering with ghosts, Ruby's eyes were astringent, and the nerves that implicated his pupils were bloodshot one after another, and it looked like he had stayed up for several nights.

The goblin was smiling at him, and the laughter was shrill and piercing......

"Rupee!"

"Huh?!" Ruby was startled, a cold sweat broke out on his back, and his pupils contracted suddenly.

Looking at it, it was just a handsome boy with some might sitting opposite him, and all the ghost banshees that had been hovering above had disappeared.

"Ji-sama. ”

Ruby bowed his head, his voice trembling.

"Tell me everything they say. Jack was impatient.

"Gollum~"

Swallowing another mouthful of saliva from his parched mouth, Ruby said, "They say that if you want to solve the problem of youkai and drought, you need to sacrifice." ”

"Go on. Jack's eyes narrowed, Ruby didn't look like he was just going to make a sacrifice issue.

He ...... They also say that because Ryo, who was sacrificed to the great god last time, was not a pure daughter, the god must have been angry with the village. And then...... Lord Ji, you have stolen the authority of the gods, dug wells in the village without permission, and put the wealth of the gods in the hands of everyone, and the gods are bound to be even more angry. So he dispatched monsters to hunt down the villagers around the village, killing the lives of the village one by one, and plunging Yae Village into despair. ”

"And the sacrifice they want is not an ordinary sacrifice. It is rumored that a few decades ago, when there was a problem with a sacrifice, the gods were furious, and that time it was the blood of the shrine shrine maiden that the gods were able to appease their anger. ”

"So ......"

Jack's eyes narrowed, and Ruby didn't dare speak. He thought that Lord Ji would be furious and scold those fools fiercely, and he was ready to be used as a punching bag by Lord Ji.

But the quiet Jack seemed to be brewing a storm, and Ruby remembered the ghost banshee he had seen before, and his body trembled again.

"So they're going to sacrifice Sakura or Amy to the fox god for forgiveness, forgiveness for their sins?"

"Stupid! so stupid! I can't help it! I want to blame the failure of the last sacrifice on a little girl who has nothing to do with me?

Ruby didn't dare answer.

It was as if there was a force pushing the anger in Jack's heart to burn.

They really want to wash away their sins. Ruby replied cautiously, "As they say, those who are killed by the monsters are people who have drunk well water. ”

"Heh~ You now find me someone in the village who hasn't drunk well water!"

Rupee was silent.

Jack's face was cloudy, and he went to his father for the sake of the village's urine, and his father would definitely obey the "public opinion" and sacrifice Amy, a weak and useless "waste" since childhood, to the gods.

Jack was quiet, trying not to get carried away by the anger.

He learned from the knowledge of another world that when emotions fluctuate violently, it is best not to make decisions easily.

"All these things are passed on by the handyman?"

"Everyone believes what has been passed around and around, and it is certain that the kid is one of the sources. ”

"Didn't my mother-in-law's family stop it at all?"

Ruby was stunned for a moment, and replied truthfully: "No, but this thing can't be stopped, right?"

"Can't stop it?" Jack sneered: "I'm afraid that the old ghost wants to find an excuse for what he has committed, and wants to divert his attention, right? ”

"Hurry up and dig a well, and when the water resources are sufficient, enough for livestock and fields, sweep the low-level monsters surrounding the village, and those people won't say anything. ”

Hearing Jack's words, Ruby looked embarrassed, "Can ...... Now some villagers don't dare to come to the well to fetch water, and they only gather together all day long to make noise and want to hold sacrifices. ”

Jack frowned: "Hire more people and try to speed it up." ”

Ruby still had a wry smile on his face: "Lord Ji, these days, from time to time those low-level monsters harass the village, the patrol team is divided into several teams to run, digging wells in the early morning, patrolling in the morning and afternoon, and digging wells again in the evening, everyone can't bear it." And you know, since the news got out, no one has been willing to come and help us dig a well. ”

"What about the great ones who know about the sacrifice?"

"They don't want to take risks lightly, and you don't know about those old guys, they don't like to do risky things. If there is not enough interest, they prefer to hold another sacrifice and sacrifice the blood of the shrine maiden to the gods. After all...... The gods love the pure daughter of the shrine maiden blood the most. ”

Seeing Jack's uncertain face, Ruby also pondered the stakes back and forth in his heart.

"My lord, there is only one way to make those villagers believe in you. ”

"Oh?" Jack's eyes flashed with a gleam, he didn't think of any good way to swim in the "other world", but he was a rupee with a simple face, and he had a lot of ideas in his stomach.

"Tell me about it. ”

"My lord, it's actually very simple. ”

"Simple?"

"Yes!" Ruby said seriously, "as long as you reveal your true identity, my lord." ”

Jack was stunned, his real identity? Isn't he the next generation of Rick? This is a well-known thing in the village.

Seeing that Jack was stunned, Ruby thought that he had moved the other party, and hit the railroad while it was hot: "Appearing as this generation of shrine shrine maidens, the villagers naturally believe that Lord Ji can communicate with the gods, and the matter of the monsters outside the village is just an accident." ”

"Shrine shrine maiden ......" Jack's expression changed on his little face, and he thought a lot for a moment.

Rupee's idea is very bad, but it is also very accurate, and it gets straight to the point.

If he appeared as a shrine maiden, the villagers would have supported the well digging work, because the shrine maiden was said to be able to communicate with the gods.

Since you can communicate with the gods, then everything is not a problem, and any stealing the authority of the gods and squandering the wealth of the gods is all acquiesced by the gods.

Monsters can be handled very well as accidents, and he can even use the identity of the shrine shrine maiden to give the old woman a "crime of deceiving the gods!"

All of these problems seem to be solvable.

It's later...... It's impossible for Sakura to meet everyone as a shrine shrine maiden, could it be that Yae Shrine wants to announce that Sakura is actually not the second daughter of the Yae family, but the second son?

Truth be told, Jack was fascinated by this bad idea.
