Chapter 57: Fox God Sculpture

The next morning, after breakfast, it is estimated that the foxes have probably woken up, the white wolf temporarily interrupted the study of runes, he wants to go to the sacrifice to talk about the problem of dragon eggs, in fact, he does not have to recover the dragon eggs, if the guy who stole the dragon eggs apologizes sincerely, he is not unable to consider directly transferring the ownership of the dragon eggs.

Walking on the crumbling stone path, you can see many foxes, most of them are doing light labor, using the rune circle, entering some elements, it is easy to complete the task at hand. The fox who farmed the field was using the rune circle to pump water, divert water, and irrigate the farmland. The foxes engaged in breeding use rune circles to complete the work of feeding, cleaning and so on.

For a moment, the white wolf even thought that he had come to a modern society, but the dress and lifestyle of the foxes reminded him that this was not the case, except for those magical rune circles, this was still a medieval-style otherworldly village, they did master the use of these rune circles, but they didn't know why, due to the lack of internal motivation of the foxes, the technological disconnection caused by the lack of internal motivation completely ended their pace towards the next era.

The foxes don't need to enter the next era to live well, the village is very small, and they can quickly go around in a circle by walking, so they don't need cars and other vehicles at all, they have the protection of a maze, and the foxes don't need to research weapons, so the progress of science and technology has stalled

"It's a shame.... I don't know how the scientific and technological level of the human world has developed?" The white wolf felt sorry for what happened to these foxes, and at the same time thought about the development of human beings in this world, but according to the human world told him by the sorceress Alyssa, it seems that the development of the human world is not as good as that of the fox race, at least things like automatic watering machines and lighting runes are not popular, maybe they exist, but Alyssa did not mention it.

"If you have the opportunity in the future, go to the human world to see it with your own eyes, and then it will naturally be clear, and it is better to see than to hear. The white wolf thought to himself.

In addition to most of the foxes at work, there are also some small foxes playing and frolicking and looking quite happy.

"That's how the knowledge of runes is interrupted. Looking at the little foxes who were having fun, the white wolf couldn't help but sigh, if in his original world, these little foxes should have been sent to school a long time ago, but they were playing around here, no one thought about learning rune knowledge, and it was reasonable that the inheritance of knowledge would be interrupted.

Putting aside his feelings for the time being, the customs of the foxes are not something he can change if he wants to, at least he knows that there are foxes who have realized the importance of knowledge inheritance, and this is enough, all the white wolf can do is not to disappoint this small number of foxes.

The little foxes who were playing saw the white wolf and hid, and it seemed that they didn't trust the strange big man very much. But there are also those who are bold and do not leave, the white wolf asks the fox for directions, the bold fox shows the white wolf the way with a little excitement and a little scared tone, and the white wolf finds that after he leaves, the little foxes have surrounded the fox, seemingly asking about the feeling of close contact with the white wolf.

"If this continues, the little foxes will gradually accept me. The white wolf muttered happily to himself.

The sacrifice usually lives in the ancestral hall of the fox clan, the ancestral hall is located on a secluded hill directly south of the fox village, because it is too remote, if no one shows the way, the white wolf may really not be found.

The ancestral hall is surrounded by dense forests, and there is a faint mist in the air, obviously this place is close to the edge of the maze, a white marble staircase leads to the top of the mountain, the white wolf carefully climbs the steps, he is a little worried that he will not accidentally go directly to the maze.

What the white wolf was worried about did not happen, he successfully climbed to the top of the mountain, the ancestral hall is directly in front, it has a rare solemn and solemn style of buildings in the fox village, but it is not solemn anywhere, a square symmetrical structure, a few large wooden pillars, is the limit of what the foxes can do, they are more suitable for those enthusiastic buildings, rather than this kind of building that needs to suppress emotions.

There is only one object dedicated to the ancestral hall, that is, the fox god, you can see his sculpture in the middle of the ancestral hall from a distance, this is a fox image with nine tails, different from the white wolf's imagination, this fox does not look majestic, the body is a little petite, the sculpture of the fox god is painted gold, his front paws step on an irregular stone, his hind legs are almost erect, looking up at the sky, giving people a feeling of striving upward.

There was a large circular hole at the top of the ancestral hall, which was the direction of the fox god's eyes, and the white wolf did not understand what this meant in the religion of the foxes for the time being.

What interests the white wolf the most is the nine tails of the fox god sculpture, which coincides with the nine-tailed fox in the ancient Chinese legends of that world, so that he can't help but give birth to a sense of intimacy, these nine tails are very large, and they are also very long, and the length even exceeds the body of the fox god, and the nine tails are spread out, giving people a feeling of fluttering in the air.

"Why did you break one?" The white wolf suddenly found a trace of abnormality, the statue in front of him was not intact, there was a tail that was broken for some reason, and it looked much shorter than the other tails, which made the white wolf feel very strange, the fox god as the god of the fox family, its sculpture was damaged, why didn't the foxes repair it?

"The nine tails are missing, so one of them is broken, the fox god thinks that the nine tails are too perfect, and too powerful, which will produce some mysterious hidden dangers, so he cut off one tail, and the sculpture you see is such an image from the beginning, and it has not been damaged. The sound of the sacrifice came from the door of the ancestral hall, and the white wolf was a little surprised, he didn't know when the sacrifice appeared there, but considering her unfathomable strength, it was said that such a situation had happened.

"If I have the chance, I must research a set of anti-stealth, anti-stealth detection runes. The white wolf secretly made up his mind in his heart, he didn't notice the approach of the sacrifice, fortunately the sacrifice was not an assassin or something, otherwise it would be dangerous, realizing the current situation of his own lack of detection ability, the white wolf did not have an inferiority complex, but was stimulated, in order to avoid such a situation, it was necessary for him to prepare in advance.

"Are you here to pay homage to the great fox god? In that case, I can tell you about the deeds of the fox god, and as a guest who has been favored by the fox god, it is really necessary for you to know about him. The priest looked at the white wolf with expectant eyes, and it seemed that he really wanted to give him a good lesson in religious knowledge.

Looking at the expectant eyes of the sacrifice, the white wolf simply nodded, he was indeed very interested in the origin of the fox god, since the sacrifice was willing to talk, then he also wanted to hear it, maybe he could also take this opportunity to learn a little bit about the news related to the red leaves, as for the problem of the dragon egg, you can talk about it later, the egg is as hard as a stone, and there is no need to worry about the danger of breaking it for the time being.
