Book 845 Destruction and Invention
Ottis's dislike for the president of the Chamber of Commerce was far greater than she had originally anticipated. ๏ฟกโ๏ผ
She thought she would have extinguished the fire when she sank the gold to the bottom of the lake outside the city, but it didn't happen. When she returned to the city that night, she placed the monkeys in the suburbs. She could have made these things disappear with a single word, as if they appeared out of thin air, but Putis didn't.
That night, she spent the night in a slum inn, a small four-room inn, and she loved the atmosphere of the small place, and she loved the slum where no matter how noisy it was.
On the first night she left the mansion, she slept poorly. The resident next to her woke up early in the morning and complained to the shopkeeper that the woman in the next room had cried all night and was very noisy.
Ottis wanted to teach the head of the chamber some more lessons, and it was simple to make the merchants feel bad, just let them suffer a monetary loss. The head of the chamber of commerce has many industries in the city, most of them are shops, and they are also cross-industry chains, hanging the same signboards. Moreover, the man had a family and children in the city, and the mansion where the maid was held was not his home, but a place where filth and dirt were hidden. He didn't know where his family lived, but he felt he should find it soon.
The next morning, having bought breakfast and lunch, Otis swaggered out of town without trouble along the way. She went to the lake, looked for the white ape she had left there, told them that she had not brought them a banana, and then began to work with the white ape's indifferent expression.
She transformed her arm into the form of an ape god, then slit the back of her hand to create a helper out of blood. She wasn't very sure if the ten white apes could help her find trouble with the Chamber of Commerce President, the army would definitely appear at this time, and if she didn't know if the Patronus would intervene, she would have to accumulate helpers.
She was pretty sure there was a limit to the number of white apes she could summon each day. She didn't know how many there were, but she had a feeling in her heart that there weren't many of them, and she had to save up to do something.
In this way, she saved up for two days and made up five of them. She felt the time was ripe. You can go to the city and smash and burn the shops with the signboard of the president's house.
Night Bee and Crane Rhine are currently in a ghost state, standing quietly in a dark alley on the central street of the Holy City.
In front of them, fifty large monkeys were smashing their arms at the shop. When they have their eyes on a building, they will leap over it like flies, grab it with their feet, and destroy it with their thick arms.
Two days ago, Night Bee and Crane Rhine followed Tiger Girl, Xi Ye and Zhou Shu out of the tavern for dinner and went to the mansion of the president of the Chamber of Commerce.
The two of them had already seen the destructive power of the Otis divine power to her at that time, and they were not surprised to see it now.
In addition to this, the two of them also learned something more interesting, what they heard the tiger girl say to Zhou Shu.
The two had been very worried that their Patronus would wake up. For them, the current state of the patronus is a holiday, a vacation before they join the company. As soon as the gods awakened, the two of them would immediately be separated, and they would both be drawn into the selection battle. If one of the gods is unlucky and awakens first, then the side that does not awaken is likely to be attacked suddenly.
How attractive the position of the main god is to the candidate god, the two girls are not clear. Can only default to 'infinite'. Whether their candidate god is a pacifist or not, the two are not clear. Although the armor and the stinger indicate that he does not intend to fight. Armor additionally said that he only wanted to fight the tiger girl with the strength gained from working with the night bees, but these words may not be true.
Night bees never believe in seemingly beautiful words, and they don't take what happens to them lightly because of words. In the process of listening to the conversation between Tiger Girl and Zhou Shu, the two heard very good news.
As long as some divine power is used every day, the Patronus cannot be awakened. As long as it is not used for a day, the Patronus will awaken.
Such rules of the game made Night Bee and Crane Rhine breathe a sigh of relief. All employees want paid leave to last a lifetime. They are no exception. If you can seal God in your body forever, it doesn't matter if you have to use your divine power every day, or it is too simple to let God sleep forever.
The two discussed it a little, reached a consensus, and decided to act like this.
The news heard from Zhou Shu and the Tiger Girl did not stop there. After the Tiger Girl and Zhou Shu separated, Night Bee and Crane Leyin both thought that the man named Zhou Shu was more dangerous.
The Tiger Maiden's divine power seems to be a 'deterrent', and she used it once when she helped Cherish Night to break the siege. Such abilities are of little use to Night Bee and Crane Leyin, after all, they will not be harmed if they are in a ghost state. On the other hand, Zhou Shu's ability to change his appearance is more troublesome.
Night Bee and Crane Rhine were already worried when they saw Zhou Shu describing their abilities in the tavern, afraid that he would turn into his acquaintance and approach him, and he would be in danger of himself. Although Zhou Shu claimed that he was unable to do this, the two girls still did not believe it so much.
After Zhou Shu and Tiger Girl separated, the two followed Zhou Shu's ass and wanted to investigate him. Just after following a few steps, I saw Zhou Shu burrow into the alley, grab a thick piece of iron and stick it to his ear, and speak in a strange language.
The piece of iron glows, and there are some sounds coming from it. The two stood aside and frowned, looking at it for a long time, unable to figure out what was going on. In their opinion, Zhou Shu is not a simple candidate for God's partner, he is the only candidate outside the girls' home, or a seafarer, a foreigner. Now that he has another strange aura on him, at least he has a special ability that allows him to communicate with other people from a great distance.
The two followed Zhou Shu for a whole day, followed him to meet his two female friends, and then saw him go to the bed of one of his female companions.
The two of them really couldn't see that kind of thing, so they slipped away with red faces. In their opinion, Zhou Shu didn't know the existence of the two of them yet, so his side was still very safe, and there was no need to worry too much about him. And the two communicated a little while following Zhou Shu, and decided to leave the city in a few days and find a place to live away from the war and the guardian spirit.
Two days after that, at this very moment. They looked at Otis, who was standing on a building and directing the monkeys to wreak havoc, and suddenly felt that their previous thinking of wanting to stay out of the situation was wrong.
The two of them are in a state of ghosts, but they are not afraid of being affected by monkeys. The two saw the Temple City army gathered here, and the squad of shooters assembled and prepared to shoot in the direction where Xotis was.
They were very worried about this, after all, they had lived together in a girls' home for several years. They didn't want to see anything happen to Otis. Especially Night Bee, she likes this little henchman who is willing to follow her around.
Helplessly, the two of them felt that they had to take care of this matter.
Officers of the Temple City army came with an army of 500 men to inquire about the situation. Ten minutes ago, they had received the news that Center Street had been destroyed by the Patronus, and the army immediately consulted the temple and received an answer from the temple that there was no need to shy away from it. The simple implication was that the temple allowed the army to attack the troublesome Patronus.
The defenders of the Temple City were all elite troops, not the kind of recruits who were temporarily recruited during wartime, but professional soldiers, each of whom could shoot a bow and arrow.
When the Commander arrived at the scene, he quickly found the eight-part man-like and two-ape-like Xotis standing at the top of the tallest building on Center Street. He sent a herald carrying a flag to communicate with them, but the herald was thrown into the river by a white ape.
The army avoided the white apes, there were too many of them, and judging by their size and the destructive power they caused, it was not something that five hundred people could handle. For this mission, the number of subordinates that the commander can afford is two to four, and no matter how much he can. Fighting these big monkeys, dozens of people will definitely die, so the commander only let the archers defend with arrows. Not ready to attack.
The head of the chamber of commerce was hiding in the carriage from afar at this time, watching this qiฤ. He's pretty sure. He got into trouble because of the maid's affairs, and he already knew that he regretted it. It is a good habit of all successful businessmen to know their mistakes and change them, they don't have so many bad tempers, otherwise they won't be successful. Seeing his storefront destroyed, the chairman thought a lot.
He wasn't sure if he would get her forgiveness if he went to apologize to that god now and admit his mistakes, and if he could just move his lips and resolve the matter. It's just a pity that now the army has arrived. He could talk to his commanders, but he couldn't influence their actions. If the army attacks the girl named Ottis who is causing trouble, and captures her, then the gold that has been taken from them may never be recovered.
As the army did not dare to attack, the monkeys of Putis destroyed the entire center street.
Originally, Otis only planned to find trouble with the head of the chamber of commerce. However, in the process of causing trouble, she became obsessed with the activity of destroying the streets.
One of the city's most prosperous neighborhoods was destroyed by her white ape into post-war ruins, and even the flat ground was smashed into the slum's sunny and rainy muddy state. All the buildings, except the one where Ottis stood, were torn to shreds.
Owlis and Crane Rhine floated in the air in a ghostly state, slowly letting their bodies drift to a high place. Floating in a ghost state is a skill that the two have not been able to master. The ghost state can't touch anything in this world, and naturally can't climb the wall to climb to the roof to talk to Otis, so he can only try to float slowly, but fortunately the ghost can float.
After some time, the two finally reached the roof. They chose a position, a position where they wouldn't be too ruthless even if they suddenly appeared.
Crane Rhine disables his special ability and appears out of thin air with the Night Bees.
Otis was still frightened, but luckily she was bold enough to take a few steps back. She quickly figured out the situation, and knew that the two of them had also gotten something from the candidate god, and she quickly regained her composure.
"Night bees, cranes, Rhine, long time no see!"
The three of them have been separated for less than a week, which is not a long time, but for the orphan girls in the girls' home who have been living together day and night, these five days have been a long time.
Night Bee and Crane Rhein smiled and did not approach her. Otis's arms were still in ape-like form, and they had become a little larger, which made the two of them have to be on guard for a certain distance.
"Let your apes stop first and stop attacking. Night Bee commanded casually with the same emphasis he had spoken to Otis.
Ottis frowned and pointed to the building at his feet, "This last building is left on this street, and it will be over when it is demolished." โ
"Don't dismantle it, you better hurry up. The army has come to arrest you. โ
"I saw it. Otis shrugged, raised his arm and pointed into the distance. Because the ape's attack was so terrifying, the army squatted in the next street from a distance. "Don't worry, Night Bee, as long as they attack me, I will definitely fight back. โ
That's what Night Bee was worried about, and she was sure that the guy in front of her was a little violent. When someone asks her to fight, she never refuses. But she was also sure that this guy still had a relatively gentle temperament.
"Would you kill someone?" asked Night Bees. "Are you sure you won't kill anyone?" asked, as the Night Bee raised his arm and pointed to the destroyed street, "Are you sure there are no bodies buried in the rubble, and did the babies and children really all escape from the building in time?"
In the ghost state, the Night Bee is basically on the front line and directly hits the destruction of Xotis. She had seen the white ape trying to avoid the citizens to carry out destruction, and she had also seen the white ape drive away and scare those people, wanting to drive them away from the way, rather than killing them.
Ottis did tell the white ape not to hurt people, but the order may not be 100% implemented. With such a long street, it is inevitable that there will be some accidents.
"You're right. Ottis nodded, "I know it's wrong, I'll pay attention to it later." With that, she pointed to the building below her, "But I can be sure that there is no one in this building, and I can destroy it." โ
The night bee is helpless. I don't know what to do with this unruly guy in front of me. Crane Rhine heard that Ottis was going to wreak havoc again, and hurriedly grabbed the hand of the night bee. Be prepared to enter the ghost state at any time to avoid being accidentally injured during the demolition.
Seeing Crane Rhine's movements, Ottis smiled and said to Night Bee: "The relationship between the two of you seems to have made some progress, congratulations, Night Bee." โ
Crane Rhine didn't understand what it meant. The Night Bee was slightly angry.
"I'm not here to stop you from demolishing your house. Do you know that your actions are dangerous for you? โ
"Dangerous?" Putis looked at the army again, "just those guys?" she waved her arm in the direction of the army, then shouted, "Be careful. I'm going to attack!!"
Then, with a wave of her hand, she ordered the white ape to attack the soldiers.
"What are you doing?!" Night Bee was frightened by her action.
"It's nothing, I just want to prove to you that those guys can't hurt me, and you don't have to worry about me. โ
The White Ape did not kill any of the soldiers in the army. Fifty gigantic monkeys were left with no buildings to climb and jump on, and they slammed into the soldiers like tanks.
The army commander ordered a round of arrows to be fired, but to no avail. The white apes were not afraid of arrows, and although the arrows still pierced their skin, they did not make them bleed. There is a wound, but it is too shallow.
The white apes slammed into the soldiers like cavalry charges, knocking the soldiers to the ground, and then ran straight away without looking back, heading for the outside of the city. Xiaotis smiled and waved goodbye to the two old friends, "I'll leave first, this building won't be demolished, let's keep it." We'll see you later. After saying this, she also rushed in the direction of the white ape's escape, and more than a dozen white apes came to meet her, and broke through the soldiers' defense line again without much effort, and soon ran and disappeared at the end of the field of vision of the crane Rhine and the night bee.
Guided by the merchants of the merchant, the sparrow came to a place full of junk goods, which was a yard of old goods, and was piled up with old goods purchased by various channels in the merchant's house at the same price as garbage. However, there are still some treasures in these things, such as rusty iron nails and screws on some things. Brand new nails are too expensive, and buying old goods can save seventy percent of the cost, which is very calculated.
The dove and the bird came here to find a few hundred nails, and they helped a family in the city to build a waterwheel, the one that the foot pedal, so that the family could make a small mill to make a living. Recently, the waterwheel broke down, and due to the frequent use of the materials, some of the planks broke and needed to be repaired. Nails are needed to repair, so the siblings come over to replenish the stock in their toolbox.
The older sister, Dove, who claims to be the inventor's daughter, introduces herself with a smile on the stranger Sparrow. When the younger brother heard this, he frowned and corrected the sparrow: "However, the Inventors' Guild in the city removed our father last year because he wanted to make a perpetual motion machine. โ
Seeing that the two seemed to be very kind, and they were a little tired of picking and choosing by themselves, Sparrow simply took a break and chatted with them.
"Hello, my name is Sparrow. I'm just looking for a pair of armor. Belch...... What is a perpetual motion machine?"
The younger brother pouted, "A kind of machine qรฌ." It can move without external force supply, and it will not stop and will never stop. โ
"What's the use?"
Sister Jiuge explained: "If you can provide additional 'work' without stopping, then use this machine as a basis to provide power and make other machine qรฌ." โ
"So...... What's the use?" the sparrow still didn't understand.
The siblings looked at each other and suddenly realized that it was a little difficult to explain these things. The two used the example of a watermill that they were going to repair in a moment: "It's like a watermill." The water flow provides the power to drive the grinding disc to rotate. If there had been a perpetual motion machine, perhaps the mill would not have been built on the hill and next to the river. But that's not the point, the people who make the perpetual motion machine just want to make a name for themselves in history, and this thing is actually not difficult to do. โ
Perpetual motion machine, the sister and brother have made two before. One uses gravity and the other uses magnetism. It is said to be perpetual motion, but it can only be in continuous motion for a few days. Up to ten days. The two of them were able to extend the work of the movement, but they knew very well that according to the theory, the machine should not stop, and should be running all the time. Since it stopped, it means that there is something to lose kinetic energy, and if this problem is not solved, then the machine will stop sooner or later, so they give up.
But the models of the two machines intrigued their father and fascinated them until he was expelled from the Inventors' Guild last year. The country of Tonoku is a great scientist. He had said that a perpetual motion machine could not be made, and that his disciples now controlled the Inventors' Guild. It is only natural that heretics who dare to challenge the opinions of authority should be expelled.
The sparrow couldn't hear what a perpetual motion machine was, but he understood what happened to his brother and sister's father.
"How much is it too much, to remove your father from the list because of this kind of thing?"
The sparrow was filled with righteous indignation, and the siblings burst out laughing.
"You misunderstood Miss Sparrow, and being removed from the list is not a big deal. Anyway, there's no technology being shared there. There is no salary, at most you can't call yourself an inventor. And my dad doesn't care about that. โ
The elder sister Dove stared at the armor on the ground and pointed to the joints of the armor, "I noticed that you seem to pay attention to the joints of these things. I used to have experience making moving dummies, which are wooden dummies that automatically wave to customers. If you need it, I can help you for a very low fee. โ
After he had money, he found a comfortable hotel for himself and bought new clothes. She had suffered too much in the girls' home, and now that she was free and had some money, she couldn't help but want to enjoy it. Yesterday she had ten dishes for dinner, and she didn't waste them all, and this rare amount of food was also thanks to the vitality provided by the little snake red stripe.
Sparrow really needed help, but she couldn't tell anyone else her secret.
Grabbing two silver coins and handing them to the siblings, Sparrow smiled and told them that he needed a set of armor that he hoped they would help him look through.
Although it was not a manufacturing job, the terrible daily wage of two silver coins made the siblings' eyes shine.
"No problem, Miss Sparrow, we'll all listen to you. โ
The two of them saluted the sparrow, and then plunged into the mountain of broken wooden boxes to look for it, and the waterwheel did not bother to repair it. They are very familiar with this place, and they come here to find some useful things.
Seeing that the two men were very efficient in helping him find something, he had no room to make a move, so he ran to the side of the crate hill and rested there.
She had just found a quick plank to sit firmly under her buttocks, and leaned behind her very casually, when the box behind her suddenly moved.
The boxes were not very sturdy, and the sparrow's leaning made the large pile of boxes loosen, and the top one of the boxes dangled a little, and fell to the sparrow's head.
The two siblings happened to see this scene and their eyes widened in fright. But what frightened them even more was that before the box hit the sparrow's head, a shiny little thing flew out of the sparrow's pocket and pushed the crate away. The box was empty, with only a few rags and space-filled hay, which bounced twice to stop moving after falling to the ground.
Only then did the sparrow realize that something seemed to have almost hit him, but fortunately a beetle saved him. But then she spotted the siblings with their mouths open and putting on an incredible expression, and she was so sure that her secret seemed to have been exposed, so she hid it for less than ten minutes...... (To be continued......)
