Chapter 24: The Crater
Maus and Frey reappeared in the little dark room, "How's it going?" Found the ninja? Fravoss hurriedly asked. Got it. Mause said stupidly, "But he ran away again." "What's going on?" Flavos turned to look at Frey again. "Hey, don't mention it, when we found him, he was at war with the guy named Novan." Frey whispered. "Really? Is Novan alright? Fravoss asked nervously. Frey looked at Flavos and smiled, "It's okay, he's going to turn into an eagle and conjure up a lot of small planes that will choke the ninja." "I didn't expect him to be so powerful." Flavas looked adoring. "yes, but he just won't tell us what's in the cave, saying it's a military secret." Mauss answered. "You're right, he's faithful to his duty." Flavos said as if understanding. "Forget it, don't talk about it, go to sleep first, and talk about it tomorrow." Maus said to the second daughter. So they went to sleep.
The next day, when the three of them got up, Flavas asked, "When will I go back to the village to see my brother?" Maus thought for a moment and said, "Your brother is so strong, he will be fine, you can rest assured." I don't know what the situation is in the village now, so let's talk about it later. "Okay." Fravos pouted disapprerovly. Frey looked at her and smiled, "Why don't we go to your place of work and have fun, let's have a good time, how about you?" Mauss looked at Fravos excitedly. Okay, okay, I haven't been there for a few days, so everyone must be missing me. Fravos said a little shyly. Are you so popular there? Mauss asked curiously. Of course, I'm the Empress there. Flavos said proudly. Maus and Frey both laughed.
The three of them walked towards the Night Whispering Bar together, and soon reached the door. As soon as the door opened, the boss greeted Flavos directly. "My little aunt, you finally appeared, you didn't come for days, everyone thought you were missing." Flavos smiled and said, "I'm sorry boss, I have an urgent matter at home and I was delayed for a few days." "Okay, it's okay, it's good to come, it's good to come." The owner was very tolerant. "Two of your friends are here too, please come inside." The three men walked in. Flavos was busy greeting the guests, and Mause and Frey asked for two glasses of wine at the bar, and the two of them drank slowly. At this time, a black beauty came in at the door, it turned out to be Ruth, and she came in and asked the boss, "Boss, is Flavos here?" "Come on, come on, it's inside, I'll call you." Warm accosting from the owner. Mause and Frey unconsciously looked at the beautiful woman who had come to find Flavos. Flavos saw Ruth and hurried over. "Here you are, Ruth." Ruth said, "I've been here several times, and you're not here, where are you going?" Flavos quickly replied, "I'm so sorry, I have something at home, and I haven't been here for the past few days." "Really? Can I help you? Ruth asked. No, I'm done. Vlavos replied, "Oh, do you have something to do with me?" Ruth paused and said, "Yes." "What's the matter?" Flavos asked. "My father wants to see you." Ruth said. "Why does he want to see me?" Flavos asked curiously. "I don't know, maybe he heard that you saved me last time, and he wants to say thank you in person." "What's that? Your father is true. Flavos said nonchalantly. Mauss and Frey, who were next to them, heard this and looked at Flavath in amazement. "Let's go, then." Ruth said. "Okay." Fravos agreed, but suddenly remembered something, "Oh, wait, I can take two friends with me, they have been bored at home for a long time, and they seem to be out for a walk." Fravos thought to herself: it would be nice to have a few more brave men. Hello, my name is Maus. "My name is Frey." Mauss and Frey smiled and came over to say hello. "My name is Ruth, let's go together." Ruth readily agreed.
The four men walked down the street all the way south and soon left the city. It feels like it's getting hotter and hotter around, and here is a large grassland, as far as the eye can see. In front of it was a small village, full of straw huts with round spires, and the village was inhabited by black people, all of whom were dark-skinned, with bright eyes and snow-white teeth. Everyone was half-naked, and it was uncomfortable to see Fravoss and Frey. The men wore necklaces of animal teeth on their chests, their upper bodies, revealing their strong muscles, short skirts of animal skins around their waists, their bare feet, some holding spears in their hands, and some holding bows and arrows. The women wore shell headdresses on their heads, simple coarse cloth around their chests, fringed straw skirts on their lower bodies, and no shoes, some carrying dustpans, some holding children. The three of them seemed to have reached prehistoric times, and everyone did not dare to say much, so they followed Ruth to the largest thatched hut in the village. "This is it, let's go inside." Ruth let everyone in. As soon as the three of them entered the room, a sturdy middle-aged man stood up, "Come on, please take a seat." As he spoke, he looked at the three of them. Ruth hurriedly introduced: "This is my father, the patriarch here. "But I saw that this man was tall and muscular, with a huge beast bone hat on his head, white ornaments on his face, a serious expression, and a bright red jumpsuit on his body, with his legs exposed." This is Flavass, as I told you. Ruth pointed to Flavos and said to her father that the two were friends of Flavoss, Maus and Frey. Oh, young man, yes. The patriarch simply complimented. I heard that you work at a night whispering bar? The patriarch asked Vlavos. yes, yes. Flavos replied quickly, very apprehensive. Thank you for helping the little girl last time. The patriarch said with a smile. Oh, you're welcome, I just did a little favor, and the starry moonlight is too bullying. Flattered, Flattered. The patriarch smiled lightly, "Oh, how could Ruth go to that kind of place? Vlavos asked curiously. Alas. The patriarch sighed and said, "It's all my fault, in order to let her learn more, I let her go to school in the city since she was a child, but she became more and more disobedient, and she had to go to that kind of place to find a job." "Oh." The crowd listened and nodded. "Can you blame me, it's not because it's hard to find a job elsewhere." Ruth said aggrievedly. "Won't you come back? We don't lack anything here. The patriarch reprimanded Ruth harshly. I don't! Ruth twisted stubbornly. Don't fight with me, there are guests here today, I won't be like you, don't embarrass me. The patriarch had an angry expression on his face, and Rusi turned away in anger. Everyone looked at the father and daughter speechlessly, "Oh, everyone, don't mind, my daughter is so willful." The patriarch regained his composure and turned back to everyone. Everyone laughed. "Tonight, stay for dinner. Ruth, you take them around first. The patriarch said with a smile. Oh. Ruth agreed, and was about to take the group away. Then a man with a spear came in, "Patriarch, the soothsayer wants to meet them." "Oh, I almost forgot, take them with me." So Ru Silk led everyone to a grass hut, pushed the door open and entered.
"Who is it?" An old woman wearing a colorful feather hat and a robe with a strange pattern asked. "Oh, it's me, Ruth. I'm bringing guests here. Ruth replied. The old woman hurriedly greeted them, grabbed the hands of the three of them, and looked at them one by one. Seeing that everyone is very uncomfortable, and it is not easy to have a seizure. "You, come here." The old woman beckoned to Flavoss, who walked over and sat down across from her. The old woman looked at it and said, "You are from a rich background and have a bright future. Flavos laughed as she heard this. Next. The old woman said. Mauss walked over, "You're both parents and have a lot of responsibilities. The old woman said. Mau thought to herself: I obviously had both parents killed by ninjas, how could it be that both parents were both, I don't think she knows. Don't talk about it, just deal with it. So he smiled faintly and walked away. Frey came over with a smile, and his wife suddenly got up and was about to kneel in front of Frey. "Your Majesty!" The old woman opened her mouth and said. Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Frei hurriedly helped the old woman up, but the second monk was also confused. "The world is about to face a crisis, and the Queen will lead us out of it." When everyone heard this, they were even more like falling into the clouds. "I'm just an ordinary little girl, how can you say that." Frey asked. "Huh." The old woman just smiled softly and stepped aside speechlessly. "Isn't it just pretty, return the queen, I bah, I still want to be the queen." Fravos cursed inwardly. Seeing that everyone was speechless, Ruth said, "Old woman, then let's go." The old woman coughed twice and nodded. Ru led the people out of the soothsayer's house. The old woman stood in the doorway and watched them go away. Ruth led everyone out of the village slowly, and in front of them was a vast grassland.
Everyone suddenly felt that their hearts were incomparably open, and this place was so flat everywhere, and their eyes were full of lush weeds. Ruth saw a dandelion on the ground and suddenly wanted to play a prank, so she whispered "dandelion" and then "scatter". Everyone suddenly felt that their eyes were fascinated, "Oh, what's wrong with my eyes?" Flavos yelled. Me too. Mauss also felt eye discomfort. Frey rubbed her eyes, but looked at Ruth with a smile, as if she had seen through it. Ruth hurriedly said: "It may be that the wind and sand have fascinated the eyes, and it will be fine for a while." Sure enough, soon everyone was fine, so they continued to move forward, Ruth was secretly happy, it really worked, hehe. There were a lot of animals in front of them, and everyone was very excited to see them. Mause was about to walk over when Ruth quickly grabbed him. "What's wrong?" Mauss asked. "You don't scare them away." "Is there a beast?" Vlavos asked quietly as she walked over slowly. Frey came over and looked at the big guy with a smile. "No, we've never had any beasts of prey here, they're all our prey and friends." Ruth replied calmly. "What's going on? There have never been tigers, lions, or anything like that? And wolves? Mauss asked, puzzled. I don't know, it's been like this since I was a kid. Ruth replied. Will they eat up all the grass with too much? Mauss asked again. No, we hunt them regularly, and in addition to eating them ourselves, we can also sell them to the people in the city for money. "Oh." Mause nodded. Everyone hid in the grass and walked slowly, there were antelopes, wildebeests, buffalo or something in front of them, all of them were grazing, as well as rabbits, zebras and elk, and they really didn't see any beasts, so everyone was relieved.
As I walked on, it felt even hotter, and I came to a volcano with smoke still rising from the top. "And the volcano?" Mauss asked. "yes, but, don't come closer, don't you see, there's barbed wire around and there are guards inside." Ruth replied. This piqued Maus's interest even more, and he walked towards the barbed wire fence himself, and the others had to follow closely. Find a door, but it seems to be locked and you can't get in. Everyone was about to discuss countermeasures, when two robots suddenly appeared inside the door, "Those who approach will die, and they will be killed." "As soon as the crowd heard their machine language, they started firing with their guns." Get down! Ruth shouted, and everyone hurried to their stomachs, and after a while, the gunfire stopped, and everyone was wondering. I saw Frey stand up all of a sudden, wave her hand at the two robots, a white light flashed, and the two robots were immediately honest, and no one knew what magic she used. Everyone walked to the iron gate together, and Frey fiddled with it a few times, and the door opened, and everyone was even more puzzled. Walking up the mountainside, Frey asked everyone to stop, and she looked around and opened a door.
Everyone cautiously followed Frey in, "How do you know about this place?" How do you know so much? Mauss finally couldn't help but ask. I don't know, I just feel familiar, like I've been here. Frey replied with a frown. Hearing this, Mauss stopped asking. It's brightly lit, it's clean and tidy, and there are a few stations, but it's empty. "Let's look around and see if there's anyone?" Maus said, "Oh. They agreed. There are still many rooms, some of which are not yet accessible. In a large room, the air was littered with circular pipes, intersecting each other in all directions. There are some delicate lines on the wall, neatly arranged. "What is this place?" Mauss asked. "It feels like a power plant." Frey replied. "Power plant?" Mauss was puzzled. Everyone was looking around, and suddenly a white figure flashed in the corner, and Frey immediately chased after her. Everyone had to follow her, "Wait for me, slow down." Mauss shouted. As a result, Frey opened the door and entered a room, and the door was locked by itself, and the others could not open it. In a hurry, the door opened from the inside and Frey stepped out. "What are you running? It's okay, I know I'm worried. Mauss blamed Frey worriedly. Don't worry, it's fine. Frey gave Maus a gentle look, "There's nothing to see here, let's go back." So they all departed together. In the evening, the patriarch set up a banquet to entertain everyone, everyone happily ate barbecue and drank fine wine, and men and women danced passionately to add to the fun, it was really a crazy night, and finally everyone fell asleep deeply.
"Get up and come with me." Mauss was woken up in his sleep. When Mause opened his eyes, it turned out to be his master Anu. "Master." Mauss shouted. "Don't make a noise, don't wake everyone up." Annu put her finger to her mouth and made a small motion. Then they took Maus's hand, and the two of them came to the field in an instant. "Hello master, why are you here?" Mauss asked. "Don't ask, I didn't expect to meet you here. Then I'll teach you a new trick. Annu said. Good. Mauss agreed. This time I will teach you the internal and external methods, and the internal strength will teach you the golden bell jar, so that you can resist blows, not only to enhance your physique, but also to enhance your defense, and you will have to hit your body often in the future, so that you can quickly make the muscles and bones of the body tough, remember? Annu asked. Got it. Maus replied. If you refine it, you will be able to hit all the energy of your body in your hand, and you can instantly smash the boulder. You have to practice hitting with both palms often, first against the tree, and then against the stone, do you understand? Anu asked again. Yes. Mauss replied. Okay, then I'll go. Annu said he was leaving. Oh, wait a minute. Mauss hastened. What's up? Annu asked, looking back at Maus. What's going on with that volcano? Mauss asked. You'll know later, don't worry so much, just do your own thing. Annu was expressionless, and then disappeared. Mauss had no choice but to walk back slowly alone, full of doubts. When he was about to reach the village, a person took a look at it, and it turned out to be Frey, but Mause just looked down and didn't pay attention.
