Chapter 169 A New Race, a New Form
The Pit Excalibur was too long, and when it was buckled around his belt, the end of the scabbard would always touch the ground from time to time, especially when Fitch was walking. Now in addition to the sound of footsteps, there will also be a snapping accompaniment, which seriously affects the personal temperament. In addition, Fei Qi uses a sword in his left hand, so he simply hangs the Pit Sword on his right waist and lives next to the cat teasing stick, which is more convenient for him to hang the scabbard with the gas element rope.
After all, the rhythmic popping is the background music of a horror movie, and it is not suitable for Feige.
It was hard not to attract everyone's attention when such a large weapon suddenly appeared on Feiqi. Especially in the eyes of elves who know how to use swordsmanship, this weapon that is very unsuitable for Feiqi's size is likely to be the treasure of the Yamu clan, and Feiqi is more like a thief who sneaks into the treasure trove to steal. It's just that compared to the Yamu clan, Feiqi is Minas Ithil's own person, so everyone is entangled and doesn't speak.
Only Paladin Didlit really asked this question. The more she is her own, the more she has to fulfill her duties as a paladin and make sure that those close to her don't make mistakes. "No, it wasn't stolen, it was left to me by the goddess as a reward for introducing the Eight Eyes and finding the crystal. Look at the emblem on the scabbard!" Feige pointed and unsheathed the sword and showed it to Didlet, and the paladin immediately recognized and believed Feiqi's words.
"Can I admire the sword that the goddess gave you?"
Feige nodded, and Didlet's heart was excited. She rubbed her hands together, her fingers trembling with excitement. It was the first time in her life that her fingers trembled from holding a sword, but it was also the first time in her life that she had touched a weapon given by the goddess.
With a thud, Didrite stumbled and almost fell. She didn't expect a twenty-centimeter dagger on the opposite side of the hilt of her sword anyway, which made her lose her center of gravity for a while. Seeing this expected effect, Feige couldn't help but laugh, pretending to be serious and hurriedly said, "Be careful, it'll get longer, so don't face people." ”
"Oh......" The elven lord was cautious, thinking that the blade would suddenly pop out, so he hurriedly held the sword in both hands, so that it would be more stable. But after a long time, the dagger did not change, it was still so short, and it looked more harmless than a dinner knife.
"Hey, that's weird. Fitch was about to cross the sword, and as soon as he got the sword in his hand, the blade popped out, and he reached over the elf's forehead and cut three hairs from his bangs. Didrite was startled, her mouth big enough to fit a whole egg. The thought of her skull almost flying, gave her goosebumps all over her body.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't expect this to happen - the goddess didn't tell me how to use the sword, and she didn't leave instructions. Feige flipped the sword over, and the hilt was handed back to Deedlet. This time, there were no more moths, and the Pit Sword was as sharp and strong as an ordinary heavy sword, full of strength and beauty.
Most of the elves were curious to come and give it a try. Although they were good at and loved the lighter swords and longswords, their appreciation for the heavy sword did not diminish because of this, and they praised it as a very good weapon. It's just that they are also a little disappointed, after all, it is a weapon rewarded by the goddess, it only looks telescopic, sharp enough, and there are no beautiful decorations, and the hardness is only similar to the elven handmade sword, which is a bit lower than they expected.
"Feiqi, is this sword only getting longer in your hand?"
Didrite makes an interesting point that is worth trying. After everyone took turns to test it, the result was exactly that. This sword will never grow longer in someone else's hand, just an unusually heavy dagger. Moreover, only when Feige uses this sword will he be accompanied by thunder, and he can easily cut off the weapons carried by the elves.
"It looks like this is an exclusive weapon, and only you can use it. The meaning is different, and any such weapon is an absolutely valuable heirloom, except for what you want to look forward to on the battlefield. Of course, no one would sell such a weapon, and no one would dare to buy it, especially since it was a reward from the goddess. Didlet watched Feige insert the heavy sword back into the scabbard in a slightly comical posture, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "I envy you so much! Remind me that next time no matter what happens, I will definitely act with you, and I will get a reward! This is not an artifact, but at least it is a secondary artifact! It is not too much to build a temple for it." ”
"What's the difference between an artifact and a sub-artifact?"
"The specific tool used by the goddess herself is an artifact, and this sword is specially made for you by the goddess, not used by the goddess herself, so it can only be a secondary artifact. If the Goddess's saber was given to you, it must be an artifact. But...... The goddess doesn't use her own emblem, and she doesn't need to symbolize herself, so it's certainly not an artifact sword. By the way, Feige, does this sword have a name?"
"Pit Excalibur. A god-given sword dug out of a pit. Fei Qi hung the scabbard with the qi element rope and said with a smug expression: "Originally, I wanted to call it a sword in a pit, but then it would not reflect the goddess." ”
Didrite looked up at the sky, the black stone reflected a little starlight, maybe it was the stone's ability to isolate the heavenly realm that allowed Feige to avoid being struck by lightning, right?
The people gossiped for a while in the Great Hall, and discussed how they should report the matter to the Patriarch. "Anyway, this matter was arranged by the goddess herself, and the cardinal will only approve of it. "Didlit felt that with the presence of the Goddess, there was nothing difficult in the world. "I think it's more important to get the Yamu to live well in Minas Ishir. The goddess agreed to shelter them, but we must do the daily work. ”
It's a certainty. As the chief advisor of the territory, Fei Qi didn't need to be reminded by the lord at all, and he was already planning this matter in his head. "They have been self-sufficient underground for more than 600 years, and there is no need to mention the idea of taking care of them. And in many ways, these people do no worse than the inhabitants of the ground. Look at this place, look at the utensils and equipment they use, isn't it good enough?"
Didriet looked at it and thought about it, and couldn't help but sigh. Feiqi comforted her: "Don't be discouraged, they have a history of accumulation, but their styles are different, and they are more suitable for a closed environment." Humans and elves also have their own accumulation, and learning from each other's strengths is the principle of collaborative development. If nothing else, at least we eat better than them, right?"
"You always have a lot of short but profound truths, and the more I think about the words you said at the ceremony, the more interesting I find them. I'm pretty sure it's not in the canon, but is it the Hall family's learning?"
"As a Templar, if this was the knowledge of the Hale family, you would have copied it and reported it to the Patriarch, okay?" Feige rolled his eyes, "Why can't you believe that this is my wisdom?"
Isn't it because your past reputation was too loud?
Finally, after a few more hours, cracks appeared on the "spider eggs", spreading like spider webs. As a pair of slender and powerful fingers broke open the cocoon shell, the newborn Eight-Eyed Clan emerged from inside. Their skin had shrunk from the pale creatures underneath and had become more like warm-blooded animals than cold-blooded spiders. Their overall height is no longer so exaggerated, although it is generally still around 1.7 to 2 meters, but at least there are no more than 3 meters. Of course, the other two changes are more significant: on the one hand, all of the octopods have only two main eyes, except that there are some tangential circular patterns in the pupils to indicate the exact number of eyes they once had. This type of multi-pupil has a maximum of three circles, which is to reach the number six. The eight-eyed clan, who originally had more eyes, would have more red eyespots on their foreheads. The Supreme Godmother, Liz, has six such eyespots.
As for another notable change, Liz was now looking at them with curiosity: they had grown feet. The Yamu clan has always walked with a poke on the ground, so they have no knowledge of using their feet at all, and it is difficult to stand one by one, and they are even more crooked when they walk. "How can this walk on a wall, does it have to transform into a spider?" Liz fell in front of Feige, stretched out her legs, and put her foot in front of him, rubbing her toes uneasily, "What should I do? Do I want to learn to walk again?"
"It's definitely going to take some adaptation. Feige pushed his feet away with a teasing stick, then reached out and pulled up the Supreme Godmother. She's still about two and a half meters tall, so Feige would be stared at at her navel at eye level. Wait, what's the navel? Isn't it only the viviparous that has this organ? Did the goddess make other modifications?
"Feiqi, why are you stunned? The goddess said that we will come to you if we have a problem, and you will definitely be able to solve it. ”
"Ah, when did the goddess say that?"
"When we were undergoing transformation in the energy cocoon, we all heard the teachings of the goddess, telling us the general situation of this Yongli continent, as well as all aspects of our transformation this time. By the way, from now on, we are not the Eight Eyes Clan, but the Fuzo Nu - there are no men in our entire race. It's weird, although there are some things that the goddess has already said, but we still want to try. Would you like to help with this?"
Looking at Liz's rapidly blinking eyes, Feige thought a lot, but the most sensible thing to do would never include being a test subject, no matter what it was. "Let's start with the feet. He quickly changed the subject and immediately suggested a solution: "You're used to touching the ground with a point, so you can design special shoes that at least make a transition to help you get used to it." ”
Feige was talking about high heels, and he drew a rough pattern, and then explained his thoughts. "That's the only way to solve it for the time being, and I haven't worn these shoes either, so I'll have to improve you gradually. This shoe doesn't necessarily work, but at least it has a stiff tip that resembles your original limbs. Anyway, let's try it, let's try it first......"
"I think the idea of this shoe is already very good, and I will arrange a trial production. There is another thing...... "Liz walked up to Didlit, put her hands on her chest and bent down hard, although she was still much taller than the elven lord, but after all, her attitude was very respectful: "The goddess wants us to live in Minas Ihir and obey the lord's rule. We are now a village under your rule...... Or should I use the word tribal? I'm not sure. ”
"Welcome, I'm very happy...... Wait a minute, you're speaking the lingua franca, and that's what I'm saying!, I can understand what you're saying!" Didlet's sudden realization looked very cute, but the other elves had already noticed it.
In fact, in addition to Didlet, Feige is also an afterthought. He could have understood the words of the Fuzo Nu (Yamu clan), but he didn't feel anything about it. Of course, he disguised it well, and no one could find out about it.
"We discussed just now, you can't lose this home, and we will carve out a place on the ground to help you build a home on the ground. Didrite shook Liz's hand and said, "Feige is the chief advisor of the realm, the one in charge of finding a way to solve the problem. He advises you not to rush in life and to adapt slowly. But there is something that needs to be done as soon as possible, and the sooner the better. ”
"What's the matter?" Liz looked at Liz with both eyes, but the spot on her forehead felt like she was staring at Feige.
"Build shrines of the goddess as soon as possible, both above ground and underground, with at least a place for prayer and rituals. ”
"That's no problem, we set out right away, and praying to the Goddess is also our deepest need and most urgent desire. It's just that we don't know what this temple should look like yet, and we need guidance. ”
This job must be Feiqi's, after all, he still has the status of a goddess priest - even if the goddess says that he is a nominal unbeliever, but the cardinal does not know. Feiqi's suggestion is actually mainly for the cardinal, first solve the problem of faith, and the pressure that may be caused by the cardinal will be less. It's not that Feige spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but that he thinks of the bad things about the open and secret battles between elves and humans. This suddenly added another race of Tibetan women, or Minas Ihir, where the elves wanted to immigrate, and the situation could only be more complicated than simplistic.
Feige sneaks a peek at Deedlet, where her teacher has died in a factional struggle within the Church. Archbishop Mackintosh should not have lied during the atonement ceremony, although he had no intention of killing, but his actions did cause the death of Bishop Nathaniel, and this was only a small disagreement over whether to establish a model collar, and it was definitely not comparable to the struggle for race, territory, and survival. Feige had not found the right opportunity to tell Dedellet about her teacher's death, fearing that she would transfer her anger towards Mackintosh to the role model, which could lead to a chain of consequences.
Alas, in essence, these problems are also the result of low productivity, especially the productivity of the land. If the good fields can be harvested, the middle fields can be rich, and the bad fields can also feed the people, what if Minas Ihir has five times more people? Especially since the elves have a small amount of food, and they will not pollute the environment, so they can live a long time if they are easy to feed, but in fact, the pressure is not great. And look at the Tibetan women, the population density in their caves is so high, and the per capita resources are so small, didn't they also survive? By the way, we should learn from them the skills of breeding industry, and promote it in the territory, bamboo rats are also meat, and they can always improve the current dietary structure.
On the territory, one question is always set over another, and all kinds of things are intertwined. But as long as you can survive with enough to eat, there is always a chance that the problem will be solved.
"I'll stay here for a while and focus on solving problems that may arise. My lord, since the temple of the goddess is definitely going to be built here, it is better to build the school of the Zendo hall as well. The hidden girls can also understand and integrate into the outside world through the school of Shantang, and it is not good to be closed all the time. ”
"I thought you'd build a school in Collingwood. ”
"Originally, I had that idea, but now it seems that Collingwood, as a storage place for two resources, stone and potatoes, has a heavy task and insufficient manpower. And there is no language barrier on the side of the hidden girl, and the manpower is relatively sufficient. Good steel is used on the blade, and only by concentrating on strength can we do great things!"
Didriet pursed her lips and said to Liz, "Supreme Godmother, I think you have an important task to record all these interesting things that Feige said, that sounds reasonable, right?"
Liz nodded, "My lord, I'll remember." Also, please don't call me the supreme godmother in the future, that's the position of the Hachime period. Now we serve the Goddess, and I'm just a hidden priest. ”
"Well, it seems that it's not just you who have to adapt and change, we do the same. ”
