Chapter 54: Afternoon Talk

The two foxes discussed for a while, and finally decided to let Qing Yue leave first, and Absinthe stayed, he actually wanted to stay because he was quite interested in the way the white wolf studied these rune circles.

Absinthe carefully observed the white wolf's movements, but after watching it for a while, he found that he couldn't understand what he was doing at all, the white wolf just kept touching those lines with his left paw, and then thought for a while, and didn't even need to think, he used his right paw to write and draw on the paper, and it didn't take long for a piece of paper to be filled with dense traces, which looked like runes, but Absinthe had never seen it at all.

"He is worthy of being the patron of the fox god... It's amazing. Absinthe couldn't help but admire, he was expecting the white wolf to be able to crack the rune circle for lighting, but after watching it for a long time, he felt a little bored, so he simply picked up a broom and a rag and began to clean the room.

The foxes who woke up began to go to the fields to work, because of the help of the rune circle, the work was quite easy, grocery stores, blacksmith shops, restaurants and other places have also opened for business, the popularity of the street gradually increased, the little foxes were very excited, after hearing that there were guests in the village, they ran to the big house where the white wolf lived, wanting to see the true face of this "guest".

"Did you really see that? I heard that he was big and white?"

"It's true! He's the size of a hill, and he's got two horns. ”

"You're bragging again! If it's the size of a hill, how can you live in a small house?"

Listening to the sound of the little foxes talking at the door, Absinthe smiled awkwardly, the white wolf was beside him, although it was huge, but it was definitely not as good as the hill, and it was nonsense to have two horns or something. The only correct thing is that the white wolf is indeed white. It's just that the little foxes haven't seen the white wolf, so they began to spread falsehoods, which is a great disrespect for the guests, but fortunately the guests didn't hear it, no, maybe he heard it, but because he was too focused on the rune circle in front of him, even if he heard it, he didn't go to his heart at all.

"It turns out that you have to be serious enough to unlock a rune circle?" Absinthe couldn't help but think of his mentality when he studied the rune circle, in the face of those complex patterns, he always lost patience after studying for a while, compared to the white wolf, he was really too far behind.

Time flies quite quickly. The white wolf sat by the wall for four hours, except for getting up from time to time to stretch or walk around the house, almost motionless, and Absinthe admired the white wolf's concentration.

The sun moved in the sky as time passed, and in the blink of an eye it was already noon, and the little foxes waited for a long time and did not see the white wolf come out, the door was closed, and they could not enter, as if they were a little bored, and had already left, and now they were probably eating lunch in the big cafeteria.

"Dangdang. There was a knock on the door outside, and Absinthe opened the door, and it was none other than Qingyue and "grandma" outside.

"I brought some food from the cafeteria, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Qingyue said, while lifting the bamboo frame in his hand, the bamboo basket was heavy, it seemed to contain a lot of food, and there was a burst of aroma, absinthe quickly took the bamboo basket, and the three foxes walked to the table together, put the bamboo basket on it and opened it, and found that it contained a lot of food, including roast chicken, roast duck, and many delicious foods.

"It smells so good!" the white wolf smelled the aroma of the food, could no longer concentrate, and sent away the rope tied to his paws, and rushed over with a jump.

"These... It's all for us?" Seeing the food in the basket, the white wolf asked suspiciously.

Qingyue and "Grandma" nodded at the same time.

"You taste it first. Although he wanted to eat it, the white wolf decided to let the absinthe taste it first, which was safer, and saw that there was no accident after eating the absinthe, so he was relieved to eat it.

After the meal, the white wolf and the "grandma" chatted, and the two of them had the tea made by Qingyue in front of them, and the grandmother's tea was in the cup, and in order to make it easier for the white wolf to drink, his tea was poured into the bowl.

"So, what should I call you appropriately?" said the white wolf, who had forgotten to ask the fox's name last time, and who had finally remembered to do it this time.

"You can call me Grandma like everyone else, and if you don't want to, call me a sacrifice. The old fox replied.

"Sacrifice? always sounds strange. The white wolf was a little puzzled.

"The name doesn't matter, when I chose to serve the fox god and become the guardian of the fox clan, I had already chosen to put down everything I had personally and take the interests of the whole clan as my whole consideration. The priest stated his reasons

"Does that sound like a deciding choice? The white wolf somewhat admired the self-dedication of this sacrifice, although he felt that the words of the sacrifice were a bit exaggerated and suspected of beautifying himself.

"Anyway, I don't know what we should call our honored guests?" the priest asked

"Anyway, just call me White Wolf. The white wolf replied very dryly.

"So, the guest doesn't have a name of his own, and you have the same mission?" asked the priest curiously.

"No.... It's just that no one named me. The white wolf sighed, he did have a name, it was in his original world, his parents gave him a name, but in this world, he never had a name, so he simply called himself the most representative white wolf.

During the conversation with the sacrifices, the white wolf learned a lot about the fox tribe, in which the foxes have different forms, such as foxes that are on all fours and do not wear clothes, and are completely in the form of foxes: there are also foxes that walk upright like sacrifices, wearing clothes but without many human features, and many foxes that have become similar to humans, but have fox ears on their heads, fox tails on the back of their buttocks, and only a little fox characteristics on their bodies.

These foxes have different forms, but they can live together quite harmoniously, which surprises the white wolf.

"They are all of our people. The sacrifice explained to the white wolf that the fox that walked on four legs without clothes was the youngest type, and when it grew older and matured, it was able to walk upright and hold things with its hands, but if it wanted to become human, it had to go through a special ritual, and if it did not go through this ritual, then it could only remain in the form of a fox for the rest of its life.

"Can this ritual be used on creatures other than foxes?" asked the white wolf in surprise, if what the sacrifice said was true, he might have a chance to return to his human form, the current wolf form is too inconvenient, without a pair of flexible hands, it is very troublesome to do anything.
