Chapter 669: Snow Mountain Changes
Time passed quickly, and the caravan and the various tribes in the bazaar traded some bone carving crafts from the various tribes through some necessities of life.
The bone carving of the Savile Kingdom has always been famous abroad, but it is a pity that with the urbanization and industrialization of the Savile Kingdom, the craft of bone carving has gradually disappeared along with other traditional tribal crafts, and there are not many tribal craftsmen who know bone carving.
Although the small steppe tribe retains the craft of bone carving, the bone carving here is not the best in the Savile Kingdom, and most of the materials used are only the bones of various beasts in the grassland, and the texture is slightly poor.
For the tribe, these bone carving knick-knacks were carved during grazing, and now they can be exchanged for a large number of daily necessities, and they are naturally happy.
As the night progresses, the bazaar organizes a bonfire for the caravans in order to thank them for the various necessities of life brought by the caravanserais.
For the caravan people, after the thrilling sand pirate crisis last night, the caravan really needs to relax its tense nerves, and the bonfire party is naturally the best.
For Leo, the bonfire party had nothing to do with him, and after dark, he bought a few bone ornaments at random and returned to the packcart.
Not long after he returned to the wagon, the new head of the caravan, Gusan, arrived at the pack cart with a small box.
"Here are four thousand gold sas, which is considered a deposit," after Gu Sang entered the tent, he didn't talk much nonsense, and directly put the box in his hand in front of Leo to open it, and said: "We will deliver the rest of the money in Dry Steel City, I hope Mr. Leo can not sell those wood carvings to others during this time." ”
Obviously, Nagusan saw that people from other tribes of the combined caravan had come to contact Leo, and he couldn't help but be annoyed by his recklessness, and at the same time worried that Leo would sell those few wood carvings to other tribes, so he gathered all the kinsa he could get together as a deposit to stabilize Leo first.
Leo could naturally guess what Gu Sang was thinking in his heart, and he didn't object, nodded and said, "I can promise you, but after arriving in Dry Steel City, I will only give you one day to prepare funds, and after one day, the agreement will be cancelled." ”
"Yes. Gu San nodded without hesitation, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped again, and asked Leo in a deep voice: "Mr. Leo, I want to ask, how to use this wood carving?"
"It's simple. Leo was not stingy, and the professor said: "Emotions are the way to stimulate the power of wood carving, strong anger and strong desire to fight can stimulate the power in wood carving." It's just that you should pay attention to one thing, the power in the wood carving is not unlimited, the stronger the power inspired by the emotion, the faster the power contained in the wood carving is consumed, once the power contained in the wood carving is consumed, then the person who masters the wood carving will also change back to the original. ”
"Huh?" Gu Sang was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Is the use of this wood carving a one-time thing?"
"Of course not. Leo shook his head and said, "You only need to place the wood carving for a day, and the power inside the wood carving will naturally recover, and the longer it is placed, the more power it will recover." ”
Gusan breathed a sigh of relief, didn't ask anything more, and hurriedly left Leo's packwagon, apparently to confirm Leo's method.
When Gusan and Leo were talking, because Gusan felt that the news had been leaked, the packer driver Sans was not asked to stay away from the packer, so he naturally heard the conversation between the two, and at the same time was extremely curious about the wood carvings mentioned in Leo's words.
During his time as a sand thief, Sans had also encountered a lot of magical things and seen a lot of unexplained powers, so he didn't show too much doubt or surprise at the wood carvings in the conversation between the two, but he was a little surprised by Leo's move to sell the wood carvings.
"Why did you sell those treasures?" asked Sans, with intense curiosity.
Leo replied disapprenously: "It's useless to me, so I'll sell it." ”
Sans was stunned, then paused for a moment and asked, "Can I buy it?"
Leo looked at Sans in surprise and asked, "Do you have five thousand kinsa?"
"Yes. Sans nodded decisively.
Leo couldn't help but be curious about Sans's identity among the sand pirates in the first place, knowing that five thousand gold is not a small amount, and most Saviles may not be able to earn so much money after working hard all their lives.
For example, if Sans relied on driving to earn commissions, it would take him twenty years, and he would have to skip food or drink before he could accumulate five thousand gold sas.
But now Sans seems to be taking out this money very easily, it can be seen that the funds he has on hand are not only five thousand gold sas, even if the sand thief's no capital business is good, it is impossible for an ordinary sand thief to accumulate five thousand gold sa wealth, so San Si's status in the sand thief is not low.
Let a retired sand thief with a very high status mix into this caravan as an internal response, the sand pirate team is definitely not a simple plot of the caravan's commodity, there must be other schemes, but the problem is that if the plot is really so important, it stands to reason that the owl should not only send a detachment of so few people to deal with the caravan, but this team sent to plunder shows that the plot is not important, this contradictory performance is very strange no matter how you look at it.
"Your status in the owl shouldn't be low, right?" Leo confirmed in a deep voice.
Sans hesitated slightly, then nodded slightly.
"You really don't know what those sand thieves are trying to rob?" Leo asked again.
Sans didn't answer immediately, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he slowly said, "They really didn't tell me, but I heard from my previous relationship that they were probably for a piece of paper." ”
"A piece of paper?" Leo looked at Sans in confusion.
"I'm not lying, it's a piece of paper. Thinking that Leo didn't believe him, Sans quickly added, "It seems to be a piece of paper from a book called Wisdom of a Maniac or something." ”
Leo was taken aback and said, "It's the madman's thirteen volumes of ancient god knowledge, right?"
"Yes, yes, that's the name. Sans nodded again and again.
Leo's expression couldn't help but become serious, he didn't expect that the thirteen volumes of the knowledge of the Madman Ancient Gods, which had disappeared for many years, would appear here, even if it was just a fragment of a page, it was very amazing.
"If something is important, why didn't the Owl send the main force here?" asked Leo again.
"I don't know. Sans shook his head and guessed: "Maybe he thinks that the paper transported by this caravan is fake, it is really in other places, he transferred the main force to other places, and only sent a detachment here." ”
"Maybe!" Leo also thought that this was a possibility, and after a moment of silence, he said to Sans, "If you arrive in Dry Steel City, and that caravan leader Gusan does not buy all the wood carvings, then I will sell one to you." ”
"Thank you, thank you!" Sans thanked again and again, for him, if the wood carving was really the kind of thing he knew, then he was equivalent to a little more self-preservation, and he didn't have to worry about the revenge of the owl at all.
With the sound of music from the market, the bonfire party has entered the climax, and the people of the various tribes on the prairie began to invite their long-cherished objects to sing and dance around the bonfire, and at the ball, the best chefs of each tribe would cook all kinds of food and give it to the men and women who participated in the party for free.
However, the first plate of food that was cooked, that is, the fattest fresh mutton of the party, was presented to the Quincy Snow Mountain by the most beautiful and pure men and women at the ball, thanks to the continuous snow water of the Snow Mountain for moistening the grassland and allowing their tribes to thrive here.
The ceremony is very simple, almost every time such a large bonfire is held, it will be held, so everyone is very skilled in preparing the sacrifices, and the men and women who have also selected to carry the sacrifices are also selected, and while the tribal elders chant the prayers in the way of singing, the surrounding men and women dance around the bonfire in unison, forming a very harmonious and resonant atmosphere.
And when the sacrifice was sent into the fire, everyone around the bonfire cheered, I don't know if it was an illusion, those caravan guards who had never seen this kind of scene felt that the bonfire seemed to burn a lot stronger, and in the extreme area that could be seen clearly, there were never dark clouds covering the entire mountain top on the top of the Quincy Snow Mountain, and lightning shuttled through the dark clouds, as if in response to the sacrifice.
The people around the bonfire were also attracted by the scene on the top of the snowy mountain for a while, but they didn't pay much attention, so they focused on the party again, although the old people in the tribe had not seen this strange scene, but after all, the distance was too far, thinking that even if something happened, it would not affect here, so they all went back to rest one by one, and handed the bonfire party to the young people of the tribe,
It's just that not everyone is blind to the mutation of Quincy Snow Mountain, Pigas sensed the abnormality of Quincy Snow Mountain through his psychic place, there is an incomparably powerful force gathering on the top of the mountain, and there is also a force preventing those forces from gathering, but the changes in these powers are only vaguely sensed, and the specific details of the perception are not clear.
Although the summit of Quincy Mountain is still very far away from the grassland, and it would take nearly a day to reach the foot of Quincy Mountain even by walking, Pigas still felt a strong sense of depression, feeling that what was happening on the top of the mountain seemed to cause something bad to happen.
Under the effect of this uneasy emotion, Pigas immediately thought of Leo in his mind, although he did not know what Leo's ability was, but he felt that he should at least be much stronger than him, and he must know more than he did, to ask Leo, maybe he could solve the worries and doubts in his heart now.
When Pigas came to Leo's packcar, Leo was no longer in the packcar, and the packer Sans didn't know where Leo had gone, but he knew that when lightning appeared on the top of Quincis's snowy mountain just now, Leo suddenly rushed out of the tent and walked alone into the depths of the grassland.
After listening to Sans's words, Pigas didn't ask any more questions, he quickly sensed the surrounding situation through his own mental place, and soon found that the anomalous black hole representing Leo was on the grassland hills not far away, so he immediately rushed over.
"How did you get here?" The straightforward Pigas is easy to get acquainted with, even if he and Leo have only had a conversation once, but he already regards Leo as an acquaintance, and he can't help but complain when he sees Leo.
It's just that when he saw Leo, he saw that Leo's eyes were shining, and the light was filled with some strange runes that made him feel dizzy when he saw them, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Your eyes, what's the matter with your eyes?"
However, Leo didn't pay attention to Pigas's attitude at the moment, his eyes kept looking in the direction of the snowy mountain, and said in a deep voice: "You feel it too, right?"
"Huh?" Pigas was stunned for a moment, not immediately understanding what Leo meant, but he quickly realized and said, "Do you mean something on the top of Quincy's Snow Mountain? I do feel it, but I don't feel it very clearly." What the hell is going on there?"
"There is an underground deity who has not been incorporated into the Orthodox Church and wants to become a god. Leo said very directly.
When Pigas heard Leo's words, his whole person was stunned, how could he never have imagined that he would hear such an answer from Leo's mouth, an underground god wants to become a god?
Not to mention what is going on with this god, even if it is an underground god, he doesn't know at all, but no matter how ignorant he is, he also knows what a god is, and this kind of thing involving gods appeared in front of him, making him feel like he was in a dream, and suddenly felt that everything around him was so unreal.
Although the steppe tribe where Pigas is located does not believe in the Lord of All Things, he has more or less been in contact with the Church of the Lord of All Beings in the Kingdom of Savile, and knows those myths and stories about the Lord of All Things, in his eyes, the gods are the kind of existence that is high up and can never be touched by mortals, and he never thought that one day he would be able to have anything to do with the affairs of the gods.
While Pigas was still immersed in Leo's words, and was discerning the truth of Leo's words, Leo did not pay attention to Pigas's mental activities, he was completely attracted by what was happening in the sky, and he was staring at the top of the Quincys Snow Mountain.
Just as he said, at the top of the Quincy Snow Mountain, an unknown quasi-god with a ninth-level psionic level was trying to break through his own limitations, hoping to use the power generated by the abnormal changes in the Veron world to become a true god in one fell swoop.
