117. A different mountain
That night, in order to welcome the return of the village chief, the villagers held a grand bonfire party in the new village square according to the custom, everyone sang and danced, and there was wine and meat, which was quite lively.
Luo Er jumped while eating, drinking, and relieved the fatigue accumulated during this time, and told everyone about what happened outside.
"Let me tell you, my daughter is a great student! The teachers and professors in the college all praised her as a genius, and her classmates regarded her as a scholar. ”
"Let me tell you, my daughter is out of luck, I came back in an airship, have you ever seen an airship? I'm afraid you've never heard of it, right? ”
"Let me tell you, my daughter may have done it, the fertile valley, you think about it, how far away it is, she can run over to archaeology alone, and dig up a big news, and she will definitely make the headlines in the newspapers when she turns around!"
Speaking of which, the three sentences are always inseparable from the daughter, but as a result, I basically don't mention much about what I did.
It's not that he deliberately keeps a low profile, but he thinks that these villagers don't have any knowledge, they don't understand anything, they can't understand what they say, and they have to ask questions, making it seem like they are on Zhihu, and they have to explain any problem for a long time, which is very troublesome.
But as he spoke, Rohr suddenly noticed a discordant detail, and suddenly changed the subject, pointed to a mountain in the distance under the cover of night, and asked:
"Huh? Is it because it's dark? How do I think, why does the mountain on the other side seem to suddenly get higher? ”
"Look, I remember sitting here before, and the mountain didn't seem to be that high, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of talking and laughing suddenly froze.
But fortunately, it only lasted for a second, and everyone continued to talk and laugh.
"Village Chief, have you drunk too much?"
"What nonsense? You still don't understand the amount of alcohol that the village chief drinks? It's obviously been too long since I've been back, and I've forgotten the shape of the village. ”
"Yes, yes, village chief, you are living so happily outside, and your daughter is so promising, shouldn't you come back in the future?"
After hearing this question be asked, everyone gradually quieted down, and seemed to be concerned about Rohr's answer.
And this question happened to be what Luo Er had been struggling with and hesitating, he immediately forgot about the previous little doubts, and stuffed half a bottle of fruit wine, and then said leisurely:
"No, I won't leave, this place is something I must protect......"
The villagers laughed and waited for him to continue.
But Rohr goes on to say:
"However, my daughter also has to take good care of her, and she can't be cheated or something outside......"
"So I plan to go out to see her every once in a while in the future, and bring her some fresh fruits and vegetables from the village by the way."
Hearing him say this, the villagers began to applaud.
"That's the best, it's really worthy of the village chief! The wisest decision was made! ”
"The village chief, this is a left-handed career and a right-handed family, which is really enviable!"
"That's it, the village chief, you're not here, and everyone is doing well, so you can rest assured to take care of little Klee, just come back every few months......"
"Come on, come on, come on, village chief, I'll give you a bottle!"
Luo Er was praised for a while, and unconsciously drank a lot of fruit wine, even if the degree was low, he felt a little drunk, just in the state of sleeping.
So after a few more small talks, he went back to his room, looked at the two portraits of his daughter hanging on the wall, and fell asleep with a sense of relief and satisfaction.
However, the villagers outside did not disperse, but extinguished the bonfires and other illuminated torches and braziers, allowing darkness to envelop the small mountain village.
A neighbor who grows sweetheart fruits at home listened to the movement of the village chief's house, and only snapped his fingers after making sure that Rohr was asleep.
Rolle's home suddenly became distorted and blurred, looking somewhat translucent, as if it was about to disappear, but it remained in this ethereal state.
He spoke again with his mouth;
"It's okay, the village chief won't notice the movement outside, and will sleep peacefully until dawn."
Compared with the previous magical exchange of ideas, it is more convenient and safer to speak with your mouth.
The fat man on the side nodded, looked at the mess on the ground again, and ordered:
"Ah Da and Ah Er will clean up here first, it's a mess."
Ah Da and Ah Er, the two brothers Smiley Face and Black Face, are the youngest in the village except Klee, so a lot of chores are left to them.
The two of them had no complaints about this, and gladly accepted the fat man's arrangement.
I saw that the empty wine bottles on the ground automatically became brand new, and then, as if they had grown legs, they jumped back to the fat man's cellar; The leftover food scraps and all kinds of garbage also disintegrated into mosaic-like pieces and sank into the ground.
This little square is neat and beautiful again.
During the whole process, there was not the slightest fluctuation of power, and there was an indescribable sense of naturalness, as if the bottles were supposed to be clean and neatly stacked in the cellar; As if the garbage and debris didn't exist in the first place.
This is the power to distort reality, to forcibly rewrite the impossible, a power that only demigods can grasp, a means of being at the true apex of transcendent power.
But in this village, it is only used for cleanliness and hygiene......
But the villagers seem to have become accustomed to this, and without the slightest surprise, they are still discussing more serious problems.
A neighbor who planted potatoes very well and had a particularly honest face was the first to speak with a worried face:
"What's next? The village chief seems to have found something? ”
The neighbor who planted the sweetheart fruit immediately said angrily:
"Are you embarrassed? Isn't it all your fault? I couldn't control my power and destroyed the village! ”
The villagers who raised pigs and sent Rohr's little donkeys next to them helped:
"Even if you destroy it, you have also cut the land several layers down, and made a big hole, otherwise the village chief will not be able to find the flaw."
"It's good that I've been in the village for so long, and my control of power is still so rough that the village chief hasn't learned anything?"
Being buried by everyone like this, the honest neighbor suddenly felt embarrassed, and could only bow his head in shame.
"But what's next? It will be very troublesome if the village chief arouses suspicion......"
Ah Da, a young man who had been smiling, asked.
"Why don't you cut that mountain to the right height?"
The crowd didn't know who had suggested it.
"No, it can't be."
The fat man shook his head again and again, and retorted:
"It's too far away, it's too big, it's going to affect too many things, and we're going to expose it."
Someone else suggested:
"Then why don't we lie to the village chief together?"
This plan was immediately refuted:
"It's still not good, always use one lie to round another lie, and the possibility of exposure will become bigger and bigger."
It turned out that the neighbor who lived on the right side of Luoer's house made a reliable suggestion:
"Then do you want to try illusions? Using illusion to cover that mountain should be the means with the least flaws, the lowest impact, and the least likely to be discovered by mortals. ”
"But...... Do any of you excel in illusion? ”
"I should be okay, right?"
A villager who only grows corn at home and usually only eats corn steps forward and recommended himself.
"It can't be a problem, right? Now the village chief is sleeping, and the village chief's house is also blocked, so if there is too much noise, there will be some trouble. ”
The fat man asked a little uneasily.
"Of course there is no problem, when I was still in the tenth order, I had titles such as 'Miracle Illusionist', 'Supreme Illusion Master', 'God of Illusion' and so on, please believe in my professionalism!"
The corn man said very confidently, and reached out and took out a golden pocket watch from his hand, showing it to everyone.
"Look, this is an old guy who's been with me all my life."
The pocket watch swayed slightly between his fingers, exuding a mysterious and unique charm.
The smiling Ah Da hurriedly closed his eyes, not daring to look directly at the pocket watch, and covered the eyes of the black-faced Ah Er, and reminded in a low voice:
"At our level, we can't look at it directly."
But the sweetheart fruit man looked at the pocket watch seriously, nodded, and exclaimed:
"It is indeed a good thing, if it is placed in this world, it can make mortals crazy."
"Let's do it."
The fat man next to him urged.
The corn man gently shook his pocket watch, allowing it to shake more and faster, while muttering something in a low voice, and a huge secret magic circle a full man tall appeared behind him, slowly spinning.
The pocket watch shook faster and faster, the magic circle behind him rotated faster and faster, and a majestic aura fluctuation erupted from his body.
The fat man couldn't help frowning slightly, feeling that this movement was a little too big.
The other villagers looked at the mountain in the distance and said:
"Huh? Is it really getting shorter? ”
"It seems that juggling of this status, if used well, can also have a miraculous effect!"
"Adjust the height well, it seems a little too short?"
"No, no, it's still too high!"
Everyone chattered for a while, and saw that the mountain suddenly became taller and shorter, stretching and shrinking in the distance, like a king who kept probing his head.
Fortunately, it would be late at night, and other villagers would help cover it up, otherwise if this scene was seen by others, I am afraid that they would not think that the mountain had come to life by itself?
As a result, after commanding for a long time, the mountain stretched and contracted for a long time, but it was still not adjusted to the most suitable height, some people said it was too high, some people said it was too short, and some people asked angrily:
"Is your illusion going to work?"
Probably disturbed by these words, the corn man's face suddenly turned pale, and the secret magic array behind him collapsed.
And the mountain in the distance also disappeared neatly, as if it had been cut open with a knife......
