Chapter 20: The Blessing of the Great God
"Mr. Duke, please wait a minute!" Xiaoxing suddenly remembered something, and quickly ran out of the house to chase the minotaur. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The lord put the governor on the ground and turned around with a friendly smile, "Little sister, do you need my help?" ”
"That's right," Xiao Xing smiled as he held out a large stack of red papers, "Mr. Duke is going to make our little village the capital, and everyone feels that there is a light on their faces, and a friend of mine has written a lot of congratulatory words to congratulate you." ”
"Moo-" the minotaur was so excited that he almost burst into tears, "I am so grateful to you, this is a proof that I have won the hearts of the people!" By the way, what are these pieces of paper written on? ”
"Is Mr. Duke illiterate?"
"This bull head is a standard illiterate," the half-elf rubbing his ass got up from the ground and uncovered it with resentment, "he can only count from one to ten. ”
"Then I'll read it to Mr. Duke." Xiaoxing flipped through the pile of papers, "This one wishes His Excellency the Duke prosperity of the country, this one wishes the lord blessings, this one wishes people prosperity, the next one is wishing a good harvest, and the other one is wishing ......."
Xiao You's face that slowly shook over was a little unbearable, "I didn't just write two sentences, why did I take so many at once, it's a bit too much." ”
"The last one is to wish the two white-headed old together." Xiaoxing reported faster and faster, and finished the last sentence with a grunt, regardless of whether the audience understood it or not.
"These words are all vulgar words, what is there to be happy about." Seeing that the minotaur grinned and laughed, Olipas said sourly, "If I were to write it, I would be ten thousand times better than them." ”
"What good words can you write?"
"I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to live from now on, leave to buy road wealth!" The half-elf hummed four sentences proudly, "This is our ideal in the mercenary group back then, from the momentum to the artistic conception, from the style to the rhyme, it is recognized as a superior masterpiece." ”
"So you're really a robber!" Xiaoxing suddenly realized.
"What a shame!" His Excellency kicked him angrily, and the half-elf, who saw that the situation was not good, jumped away and hid to the side.
"Which of your friends wrote these notes?" His Excellency the Duke remembered that he still had to show the manners and manners of a nobleman, "When I see him in the future, please thank him on my behalf." ”
"What this man said is the most effective, everything that is blessed, there is nothing that is not allowed, and we all respectfully call it 'Great God'."
"It's true that there is no inaccuracy, but it's all the other way around." Xiao Youxin secretly sighed for the Minotaur.
"We have another poem to praise God, and I will read it to you." Xiaoxing cleared his throat and groaned:
As soon as the two gods blessed, the cabbage could be cooked without cooking;
The two gods blessed that cats would love mice;
The two gods blessed three times, and the rooster went into the nest to hatch the eggs;
The two gods blessed four times, and the rabbits gnawed wild boars every day;
The two gods are blessed with five blessings, and they can dance in the thorn bushes;
The two gods are blessed by six gods, and suicide can hit tofu;
The two gods blessed seven times, and the water couldn't stop flowing high;
The two gods blessed the road, and the heavy snow filled the road in summer;
The two gods blessed nine, the rainbow straight line is not an arc;
The two gods blessed ten times, and the moon only rises during the day.
……
"Ah, what an extraordinary man of God to be able to show so many great miracles." His Excellency the Duke was a little impulsive, "I want to put these notes in the most conspicuous place, so that the two gods you are talking about will bless our country well." ”
"Captain, didn't you say that the official culture of the principality is to worship the minotaur gods, how can you offer a prophetic liar again?" The half-elf shouted.
"Shut up, haven't you heard that whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world, we must fully take into account the religious sentiments of the local aborigines," the lord did not hesitate to reject the deputy's proposal, "The policy of freedom of religious belief should be implemented for a certain period of time, so that we can work together to build a beautiful homeland." ”
Next, the minotaur solemnly brushed the note and firmly attached it to the height of the totem pole, Xiaoxing couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, and suddenly felt a little irritability.
She turned around and saw that Xiao You's face was also a little bad, and asked strangely, "Brother, what's wrong with you, do you think I'm overdoing it?" ”
"Forget it, I'm thinking about something else." Xiao You hesitated for a moment, "Why is it written on the last note of the great god that it says 'grow old together'?" ”
"Ah, brother, no!" Xiao Xing shouted in surprise, "You've known the Great God for so many years, don't you know which tune she likes?" ”
"So, it's really ......" Xiao You's face turned even paler, but he didn't ask any more, and walked away holding his chest.
"Poor brother," Xiaoxing said to himself, "I will hurry up and find a chance to let you know the truth." Otherwise, the later you face reality, the more you will be hurt. ”
In the open space on the side, the minotaur had unloaded the wood of the truckload, piled hundreds of thick logs together, and then used a double-sided axe to brush and chop. After the flying sawdust fell, neat wooden strips appeared at his feet.
"Captain, you've done a good job," the half-elf asked curiously, "were you a carpenter before you joined the army?" ”
"This is a skill that my ancestors taught me." The minotaur snorted, "Didn't you learn?" ”
"You have to know that I am a shaman, shamans do not do manual labor, and your ancestors only taught me spells, not crafts."
"That's the rule of the human state, mages can not work, in my Minotaur tribe, all people are laborers, and there is no discrimination."
"Even if you use child labor, it's not the same usage!" Oripas jumped to his feet, "This big log is half waist high when it lies down, how do you let me cut it?" ”
"It's your business, you can't eat if you don't work, and you can't eat if you don't work."
"¥%@#x&......" The thin half-elf was so angry that he couldn't speak, so he simply jumped on a log and sat down, sulking alone.
A knocking sound suddenly came from the other side of the long log, and Oripas looked up to see that the blue-robed boy had come over at some point, stretching out his index finger and flicking it lightly on the wood, making a "tuk-tuk" sound.
"Hey, little ghost, you don't understand anything, don't come here and make trouble." The half-elf was not angry when he saw him, and he couldn't help himself with his work, so what did he do here?
"The moisture content of these basses is low enough, and there is no bursting and distortion during the drying process, which is a good raw material for building materials." Xiao Yu seems to be only talking to himself.
"Don't pretend here, you think you know more than I do?" Auripas pulled the hatchet from behind his waist and jumped in front of him, "Go aside, don't disturb the work of Lord Ben." ”
Xiao You looked at his posture of grasping the axe, "A thousand days axe, a hundred days of adze, it only takes a morning, do you really plan to use an axe to cut out wooden strips?" ”
"What did you say?"
"In carpenter work, pulling a large foundation is the easiest to learn, and even a stupid person can master it in a morning." Xiao Yu pointed to the minotaur, "If you think you have the strength and axe-wielding skills of that gentleman, you can also use the axe to work." ”
The half-elf was stunned for a moment, hurriedly ran to the pile of tools, and picked up a large saw that exceeded his height, "This saw is really useful?" Tell me, how should I pull it? ”
Xiao You smiled, stepped back to the other side of the log and took a few steps, reaching out and gently drawing a horizontal line on the wood, as if bright blue ink was flowing down his fingertips, leaving a clear mark. Then he beckoned Olipas to come over, grabbed the handle on the other side, and gently aimed the tooth at the blue line, signaling the half-elf to start pulling.
"As long as your shoulders, hands, and body are flat and don't move crookedly, it's easy to saw." Xiao Yu slowly pointed to the Governor's force. After several postural errors were corrected, Oripas gradually found the trick, and with his eyes on the mark, he pulled back and forth with the rhythm of Xiao Yu's dragging, and easily sent the saw blade to the bottom of the wood.
"I can't see it, you're really a talent." When pulling the saw for the second time, the half-elf already felt that this work was very simple, skilled enough to be distracted and talking, so he couldn't help but praise Xiao You, "No wonder people say that the poor man's child is in charge early, you must have a good future in the future, well, very promising." ”
Xiao You looked at the sky and ignored him.
As the morning passed, the two sawed five or six logs, and the hungry Governor scurried to the cart laden with food for lunch. Xiao Yu paced back to the cottage with no windows and no roof.
"Brother, please sit quietly in the house, what are you doing when you have nothing to do with the big saw?"
"I just want to reminisce about the experience of building a palace for the Stygian Dynasty."
"Reminiscing about a ghost, I remember that you are the chief designer, and you are not a hard laborer, and you have never moved half a brick at all."
"As the saying goes, a general who can't dig trenches is not a good general."
“…… Haven't heard of it. Brother, you're just looking for fun, but you don't know you're going to get into trouble right away. ”
"What's the trouble?"
"You've taught him the art of sawing, so there's no way you can leave it alone. When the wood is sawn, you'll have to teach him how to plan, right? After the planing work is done, you have to teach him to cut again, right? Now that you're done, you'll have to teach him how to chisel again...... In this way, you will not be able to get rid of his entanglement. ”
"Not that much trouble, right?" Xiao Yu scratched his hair, "I've calculated, that group of adventurers will be over this afternoon." ”
