53 - A mysterious future and an unusual drought
ββ¦β¦ So, not only Pululu and Pizi, but will there be future Nie Pudinu and them coming over in the future? And after all of them arrive, I will come in the future to pick up Prulu and themβbasically, that means Prulu and Pizi will have to stay in the church for a while. β
After more than an hour, IF and the others, who couldn't resist the Sandman, went to sleep, and only the guardian waited for Iss to listen, listened to the explanation from Is, held his chin with his hand, and concluded thoughtfully.
"Well, although there are many things that the other party has not explained, it is just to prevent historical confusion, so the other party's Istvarou is using vague words to explain. However, the other party ...... Nothing, Go-san. "Ise seemed a little remnant, "Change the topic, according to the other party, the reason why they don't tell us is not only to avoid confusion in history, but also to ......"
'Because this is a request from Husan.,So I'm sorry ββ(*^- γ)v'Xiao Yisi folded his hands.,Don't forget to blink and sell a cute.,It's completely unbelievable.γ
Getting such a reply, Hu could only smile bitterly, although Hu himself also felt that his decision was not wrong, but that subtle feeling in his heart......
Perhaps, it's because everyone is shocked by the fantastical vocabulary of another dimension in the future, and almost doesn't care about another very interesting fact.
If...... If you were brought into this world to face an enemy...... Why,, who is just a child born with divine powers, will also be on the scene of the battle against the enemy with Plulut.
It's not very soon.,Protect has no spare time to think about it.,After all, people are not machines.,Naturally, you'll feel tired of the protection.,It's also full of vitality in the morning.,In this time of about two o'clock in the morning.,Can't hold the sleepiness of the attack.,Temporarily give up thinking.,Sleep peacefully.γ
Over the next few days, Plaut, like, was fully integrated into the church in the Obsidian City, and became good friends with IF and Kongpa.
Of course, during this period, Hu and Nie Pu Nu were also curious, since Plulut was a goddess, then she could also be a goddess like Nie Pu Dinu, and Prulut also replied that she could, but I don't know why, her companions told her not to transform as much as possible, so that everyone didn't understand what it meant at all.
And there have been no strange events in the past few days, as if everything has settled down, no, maybe there is still a little bit of an anomaly......
"Ah~~~It's so hot~~~" Nie Pudinu lay on the table very unfiguredly, looking like he was lying on his stomach with a collapsed face.
"Nepdinusan! As a goddess, how can you be lazy just because the weather is hot! There are still very important documents that you need to review in person today! And there's something very important to tell you! Istwaru scolded as usual, but the sweat on her face showed that she seemed to be uncomfortable too.
"Woo~~It's so hot~ It's so hot~ I can't take a nap at all~" Plulut also looked lazy, and yawned indecently.
"Nepdinusan! Did you hear that!! β
"Hey~~Is, forget it today~~~~ Look at you, I haven't played all the hot games......"
"Yes~Yes~ Is, let's rest today~~"
"Please, give, me, work!"
"Daddy~~!! The skin is so stuffy!! Hurry up and play with the skin!! "Because Nie Pudinu and Prulut were so hot that they were lazy and struck and quarreled with Is, because of this incident, Pixi, who had no playmate, was directly entangled with Hu, which made Hu, who was originally going to practice, a little crying and laughing.
"Hi Yi ~ Ou pinch sauce, Plulut San, Pissi sauce, freshly squeezed chilled juice is here." Nepkiya walked out of the kitchen with a tray in her hand.
"Oh oh oh~~~ It's really my sister, Nepkia!!" As soon as Nepukiya put down the tray, he immediately picked up a glass of juice, took a straw and drank the juice with a loose expression on his face.
"Ahrigado~Kiya-chan~" Plulut thanked him in his usual slow tone, and took a glass of juice.
Hu also took his share and, and after Pixi took the juice, she drank it happily - but after drinking, Pixi rarely continued to make trouble at the moment, but chose to lie down obediently on the sofa under the air conditioning outlet and take a nap.
"Oh, it's finally a little more refreshing...... "The cool feeling brought by the cold juice flowing through his throat temporarily eliminated the feeling of anxiety and stuffiness caused by the heat, and after exhaling a breath, his eyes began to become serious.
"It's a bit strange to have so many days of extreme heat without warning...... Sure enough, those constellation monsters did it? β
That's right, a few days ago, Hu had another headache, and then, the climate and soil of the Obsidian Capital became unusually hot, and it suddenly became hot without warning.
At first, no one noticed the anomaly, perhaps thinking that it was just hot weather, and that it would be fine after a day or two.
However, the unusually hot weather lasted for several days, and even at night I could feel the air so hot that I couldn't feel it.
As a result, the number of people suffering from heat stroke or falling ill due to the extreme heat has increased dramatically over the past few days, and now the entire hospital in the capital of Ziyao is almost full of patients, and even Kongpao has not visited the church for several days because of the busy hospital.
And the church is not much better, even if the air conditioning is turned on, you can still feel the unusually hot air filling the city, even the air conditioning system can't make the room temperature better.
Although it is also possible that it is simply a weather problem...... But in fact, this situation is impossible to happen - as long as the country has a goddess, the goddess's faith energy will unconsciously spread throughout her country, bringing vitality to the country's land, and the weather in the country must be smooth, and there will hardly be any bad weather - this is why the goddess is one of the very important reasons for the existence of the country in addition to absolute force, and the earth and sky without the protection of the goddess's faith energy are tantamount to death.
And Hu and IF and the others, who understood this, sent almost all the members of the Church Intelligence Department to investigate the entire Ziyao Capital after confirming to Hu what signs of the constellation monsters were attacking...... There was an inexplicable piece of information.
In a forest where monsters are entrenched in the Purple Glory Capital, I don't know who put a stone lion there.
β¦β¦ This information is of a ghost's use!!
Even if it's a protector, because of the extremely hot heat, I can't help but go crazy when I see this inexplicable information, and send this information directly into the trash.
And this clueless situation has continued to this day, and the severe weather has become a big problem, and even the people have added many requests to solve this heat, or to collect some herbs that are effective for fever...... But even now, when even monsters are hot and have no energy, not to mention how many adventurers who can complete the commission can continue to complete the commission.
"In the end...... Went hiding...... If we don't solve the problem, there will really be people who die because there is no fever reducer......"
Gum bit his lip, thinking of the worst-case scenario if the problem was not solved, the hand that held the glass containing the juice couldn't help but force, and with a click, the glass shattered, and the remaining juice and glass fragments fell to the floor, causing a noise in this quiet place, causing everyone to turn their heads to look at the shield, except for Is, who had begun to work the paperwork after one glance.
"Go-san...... What's wrong? With such a gloomy look, is it uncomfortable...... However, it doesn't seem to be unwell. β
Confiding worried words, Nepkiya came over and asked Xiang Hu, slightly shyly stroked his right hand on Xiang Hu's forehead, and after touching it, he understood that Hu did not have a fever, and his mind was also delicate, but Nepkiya guessed Hu's thoughts, brewed for a while, and was ready to say what he thought.
"That's... Don't ...... mulberry protection."
"Don't put on a gloomy face, Go! In this way, even if the body is fine, it will really become a problem! Cheer up...... Hmm, it's hot. β
Jumping to the side of the protector and patting the protector's shoulder to cheer for the protector, although he also wanted to cheer up, the sultry weather quickly robbed Nie Purdinu of the little energy he recovered after drinking the iced juice, so that Nie Pudinu sat on the ground weakly before he could finish speaking.
"Go-chan's expression will be so gloomy, he must be worried about those who have a heat stroke and fever~ Because Go-chan is such a person~ Kind~-Hmm~~ It's hot! Go-chan, it's so hot, please Go-chan summons Shiratori~"
Because he came from the future, Plulut, who understood Hu's thinking quite well, perfectly guessed Hu's mind - but the sultry weather made Plulut collapse on the table weakly after finishing a sentence, and then said to Hu in a pleasesome tone.
ββ¦β¦ Ay!? β
Plulut's proposal made the thoughts in his heart be said by Plulut, and he was also said to be kind, and he was a little complicated and was directly stunned.
"This, this is not ......"
Although he himself is also hot to death, he doesn't want to summon the White Bird Holy Clothes because of this kind of thing, but for the protection of the holy clothes as a partner who fights together, and just when the protection is about to postpone Prulut's suggestion, Nie Pudinu seems to have suddenly come back to life, and stands up with a whoosh, grabbing the guard's hand.
"That's right! Just like Prulu said! Protection, use the power of the ice you used to fight against that whale monster! I will cool down the temperature here in one go! β
"Why don't you even ...... Nie Pu Dinu" Seeing that Nie Pu Dinu was definitely standing with Prolu on purpose, staring at him with sparkling expectant eyes, Hu suddenly showed a bitter gourd face, and temporarily put that trouble behind him - for Hu, Nie Pudinu's request was really quite impossible to refuse.
But Hu also has his own bottom line, if you call out the White Bird Holy Clothes for this kind of thing, you won't forgive yourself...... Well, that's all there is to it.
ββ¦β¦ I'm not going to summon the Holy Clothes for such a thing, Nepdunu. But as a matter of training, I'll practice my ice fighting skills here, so that the temperature can cool down. β
"Oooh! It's a protection! How reliable! β
"Long live Go-chan~~"
After receiving a positive answer from the protector, the cool two, who were immersed in the expectation of the future, cheered up and clapped the guard for a while, which attracted a burst of "please be quiet" from Is, who was in a bad mood due to the sultry weather.
"Haha...... Ou pinch sauce and Purut San, do you really get along...... But I'm really bothering you, Go-san. β
At this time, Nepkiya obediently apologized to the protector, and the protector showed a light smile that he didn't care about, and after letting Nepkiya leave his origin, he found a corner of the room to meditate, and began to quietly burn the small universe of the part of the White Bird Sacred Clothes.
The drifting snow and ice began to slowly fall in this hot space, the snowflakes fell, melted and evaporated, more ferocious than the cooling of the air conditioner, and the high temperature that was originally entrenched in this room subsided in a way that could be clearly felt, making Nie Pudinu and Plulut cheer long live - only to hear the Is's 'document ahhhhh 'The sorrow of the ...... Eighty percent of them were wet by the humidity after the sudden turn of the heat.
Bad...... I accidentally did something sorry for Issan...... Apologize afterward.
A wry smile appeared in his heart, because he was thinking about this matter, he accidentally lost his mind, and he didn't notice that the cold air released by himself increased a lot.
ββ¦β¦ Huh? Isn't it too cool...... "It's not the same as Nepdinu or Plulut, after the temperature of the room cooled down, he went to play games and sleep with a puppet in his arms, Nepkiya helped Iss sort out those wet documents and wipe down the water, and because he was busy working, his body began to warm up, and he noticed that the temperature was dropping more and more for the first time.
"It's cold! It's too cold! Protection, the air conditioner is too much! β
"It's so cold~~The sauce is so cold~~"
And Nepkia's words also made Nepdinu and Plulut cool down from their excitement, and then they clearly felt the lowered temperature, and began to complain to the guardian one after another.
ββ¦ Yes! I'm sorry! "Returning to the protection of the mind from wandering, I found that I used too much in the small universe of ice, causing fog to even begin to appear around, which was also a pain Isse, who was moving the documents to other rooms with Nepkiya to dry, in order not to make the documents more wet, hurriedly speeding up the transportation.
At the same time, the guardian also stopped using the ice universe, and the temperature around him quickly rose under the scorching sun and scorching heat outsideβalthough it was not cold anymore, the sultry sensation that appeared again made Nepdunu and Prulut turn into bitter gourd faces again.
ββ¦β¦ It's too fast, isn't it...... However, when you don't wear the holy clothes, except for the small universe of the Pegasus holy clothes, the control of the small universes of the other holy clothes is not enough, and there are almost no mistakes that you will make when you put on the holy clothes...... I always feel that it's not because of attributes. β
Looking at the bitter gourd faces of Nie Pudinu and Plulut with a wry smile, the nurse sitting on the ground felt the temperature gradually ...... No, he picked up quickly, frowned, and at the same time had words in his mouth, pondering his failure just now...... At the same time, I was thinking about how to solve this problem.
"Ahhh......h It's getting hot again!! I can't stand it! But at this time, as if his patience had reached the limit, Nie Pu Dinu jumped up from the ground, like a child venting his feelings, rolling on the ground and complaining at the same time, and I don't know if he was imitating Nie Pu Dinu or the same mood as Nie Pu Dinu, Plulut also complained 'so hot~' and Nie Pu Dinu rolled on the clean ground together.
"Hey!! Nepdinu, Plulu! You have a little bit of goddess self-consciousness, okay! Don't be a child! β
Nepdunu and Plulut rolled around, instantly attracting Go's attention, and then the corners of Hu's mouth twitched, and he let out a heartfelt complaint.
"Hmm~ But it's so hot~Go-chan~~ Although I heard what you said, it's really hot~~~!"
"Yes, yes! Prulu is not wrong at all, even a goddess will have no energy in this weather! β
Two people with different voices complained at the same time, which made Go's head feel big for a while, and his attention was attracted by Nie Pudinu's words, perhaps also related to the hot weather, Hu didn't notice the problem in Prulut's words, but instead concentrated on complaining about Nie Pudinu.
"It's weird! Although I don't really want to say that...... But I'm willing to bet my pudding, even at this time, Novalo and they must be working hard, okay! β
"Nep! Hu actually made such a vicious cutoff...... Don't believe me! Have a little trust in your goddess! The knight is disqualified!! β
ββ¦ Let's not talk about whether betting on pudding can be described as vicious...... Nepdinou, compared to your usual behavior and Novalo's behavior, of course I don't believe you! And............ And even if it's just a joke, please don't talk nonsense about it. β
Nie Pudinu's words made Hu unnaturally silent for a moment, and then took a deep breath and complained, and after the complaint was finished, Hu seemed to hesitate to say a moment of silence, with a deep look, let out a low and solemn voice, Hu slowly spoke.
"As your knight...... Until the end of my life, this is a vow that I will never change, and it is also a faith that will never be disqualified. At this moment, Go's expression was more serious than ever.
ββ¦β¦ Sorry, protect. Forgive me......! Hu's words made Nie Pudinu stop rolling on the ground, drooped his head, looked like I was wrong, and folded his hands and sincerely apologized to Hu.
"I don't need to apologize...... It's going to make it hard for me. β
Seeing Nie Pu Dinu's apology, which was tantamount to selling cuteness, Hu couldn't help but smile, and stretched out his right hand as if he was used to it, gently stroking Nie Pu Dinu's hair - from the beginning, Hu was never angry, but Nie Pudinu's words just now made Hu a little hurt. Of course, because he understood that Nie Pudinu didn't mean it, and he didn't take it to heart, he just solemnly swore his will again.
"Woo...... It's comfortable, but don't look at me like a child, protect! Your gentle gaze only makes me feel a tingle in my heart! β
ββ¦β¦οΌ Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Nepdinu, I didn't mean that! Hu Yi was also puzzled for a moment, why he made this move, but he didn't give Hu much time to think, and the words of Nie Pu Dinu puffing out his cheeks came, making Hu Can apologize with a smile.
"Nep! Even so, it would be unforgivable to do such a thing to the goddess Sama! Let me touch your hair too! β
"-Huh!? Forget it! "Although the protector definitely does not exclude Nie Pudinu...... But even so, he felt that he was touched by a girl...... And when there is a huge difference in height...... Hu said it was a little hard to accept.
While thinking like this, Hu quietly took a few steps back.
"Nep! Don't try to run away! Let me touch it! β
"Only this one flatly refused!"
Sweeping away the previous atmosphere, under the pursuit of Nie Pudinu, this originally hot scene also seemed to be completely ignored, and the two focused on chasing and dodging.
But at this time, another person present, no, should say the goddess......
"Woo~ It's so good~ Go-chan's attitude towards Nie Pu-chan is always so special~ But it's precisely because of this~ I~ still have a chance~~"
When Hu and Nepdunu were talking, Plulu, who didn't know when, stopped rolling, puffed out his cheeks and watched the conversation and activities full of invisible bonds between the two, and his purple-red pupils revealed a hint of envy, but this trace of envy didn't last long and disappeared - the reason was just as Prulut himself said just now...... She still has a chance.
I won't say much about what Plulut is referring to...... Because, in fact, there was not much time for Nepdunu and them to continue to relax.
"Ou pinch-chan, go-sang, plulut-san! Bramsan is calling! At this time, Nepkia suddenly walked in, holding a mobile phone that had been connected to the message, and a virtual screen showing Bran sweating profusely, to inform the three of them.
"It's really, as lively as ever...... Nepdinu, protect. In this kind of weather, you can still make a fuss......
And after Nepkia came in, he saw through the screen that he grabbed Nie Pudinu's fist and didn't let Nepdunu get close to his protector, and at this moment, Plulut, who was already lying on the floor on his stomach, was originally full of sweat, rare, and conspicuously showed a nervous look, and his face couldn't help but relax, showing a smile, and said in a flat tone as always.
"Ah~~ It's Bran-chan here~~ Long time no see~~"
ββ¦ Well, hello. β
Bran greeted Prulut politely - although Bran was very familiar with Bran and the others, for Bran and the others, Plulot was only a person who had just met, and was not close enough to greet him at will.
"Ah, yes! Bran, can we go to your side! Recently, the temperature in the Purple Shine Capital has been too high, I can't stand it! Let's escape the heat! β
The moment he saw Bran, the formula of Bran = White Dew Shore = Winter Country = Cool Brain appeared in his mind, and he rushed to Bran in one breath and proposed to Bran.
"Calm down a little, ...... Nie Pu Dinu" was not as impulsive as Ne Pu Dinu, but he was keenly aware of Bran's sweating profusely at the moment, and had doubts - although it does not mean that it snows every day, but as a dream winter country, even if it does not snow, the weather on the shore of White Dew basically only keeps the temperature at the average temperature, and if it is caused by Bran's movement...... He didn't think that Bran would go into intense exercise for no reason.
Although Bran is indeed a violent girl with fists as her creed after she gets angry, before she gets angry, Bran is indeed a literature girl who likes to read - so she can't imagine that Bran will be sweating profusely on the shore of Bailu, where the temperature is not too high.
However, before the guardian could figure out the reason for Bran's situation at the moment, Bran couldn't wait to speak first.
"Sorry, long story short. Nepdinu, please let the protector come to me for the time beingβfor the same reason, as you are now."
After finishing this paragraph in a little hurry, behind Bran, a female voice suddenly sounded that he had never heard before.
"Bransama, there's the latest news from the investigation team! Although no monsters have been found that match the characteristics you mentioned earlier, the location of the heat source has been found! β
"It's great if it's true, beautiful..."
Just as he was about to turn his head to respond to the female Bran who had spoken to him earlier, another church member hurriedly ran in and shouted that it was not good.
"Oh no! Oh no! Bransama! Romsama and Rumsama took the information they had just received from us, and set off for the location of the heat source without permission! β
"What did you say!?"
The new information brought by the church members made Bran's face change instantly, his pupils instantly contracted, and he almost rushed out to capture Ron and Lamb immediately after the next step...... But at this moment, Bran, who had the upper hand with reason, forcefully suppressed the impulse in his heart, took a deep breath, and then said to Go.
γβ¦β¦ As you can hear, the shore of the white dew is in a heat crisis. I guess it's the constellation monsters doing the good thing...... Protection, can I trouble you?"
"No problem! I'll be right away! Bran will concentrate on the problem of the White Dew Shore now! Rom and Lamb I'll help you bring it back safe and sound! β
γβ¦β¦ Sorry for the trouble. I'll come to the aid right away."
After hearing Go's answer, Bran said something and ended the communication, Gogo turned his head to look at Nepdunu.
"Oh! Let's go together! Go and help Bran ......."
"Please stay with Nepdinusan! If there is a document that you have to correct, please complete it first, and you can go to Nepki Yasan over there! Don't be lazy, give me a serious job! Just when Nie Pudinu said that he wanted to go to the shore of Bailu with Go, Isi suddenly appeared, grabbed Nepdunu's ear, and yelled at Nepdunu's ear - with Is's understanding of Nepdinu and Hu, Niepdinu must be lazy most of the time after arriving, in that case, it is better to let Nepkia go, which can not only exercise but also increase actual combat experience.
"Huh!? Am I going!? β
Nepkia, who had just been a non-existent person and was just holding his phone for Bran and Hu and the others to communicate, was surprised when he was putting the phone back in his pocket when he heard Iss say this.
"Well, the commission from the White Dew Shore will trouble you Go-Sang and Nepki-Yasan - but Nepki-Yasan, before you go, please go to the church's equipment library and take the newly developed, complete processor unit."
"Huh!?"
Is's words made Nepkia and Nepdinu sound in astonishment - and Go, although he didn't understand why the two were so stunned, but understood that this had nothing to do with him, Go, after leaving the sentence 'I'll go get ready first, Nepkia will come to the parking lot to find me', and quickly left here.
And just a few seconds after Hu left, Nepdinu and Nepkiya, who had finally digested what Iss had just said, asked almost at the same time.
"What's going on, Is! Didn't we already tell you that in order to show our will not start a war again, we will no longer equip a complete processor unit? β
"Yes, Issan. Why do you say that all of a sudden? In case of misunderstanding between Novarousan and the others......"
Nepdinu and Nepkia's questions made Isis smile slightly...... Forget about Nepkia, although Nepdinu usually looks like that, but sure enough, he is unambiguous in important matters.
"Please calm down, Nepdinusan, Nepkiyasan. Long story short - this matter is a matter decided by the godfathers of our four countries, didn't I also say before that there is an important thing to talk to you about, that is, this matter, Nova Lusan and the others should already know this decision - so please Nipdi Nusan you, also go and get your own processor unit! Get ready for the upcoming battles ahead! β
With that, Isis made a push motion to push Nepdinu and Nepkia towards the equipment warehouse, and the two sisters walked to the equipment warehouse with a 'got it' answer.
ββ¦β¦ Hey~~For the upcoming battle in the future~~~ Indeed~~ In the near future, there will be no leisure time like now~~"
He didn't go to the equipment depot with Nie Pudinu and the others, and Plulut, who was still staying here, showed a leisurely smile as if he already knew all this, holding the newly made current protector puppet with purple pupils, looking out the window and looking at a certain forest in the Purple Glory Capital.
"The time for me to appear~~ hasn't come yet~~"
Looking at Plulut's actions, Iss sighed imperceptibly, his thoughts returning to what Little Iss had said to him before, and his heart was clouded with a layer of sorrow.
"This kind of mood is really not very comfortable......"
