Book 572 The Thief and the God
What the cat god weariness tells is what she has experienced, and it can also be said to be the history of her and her class's struggle.
Since the first generation of gods and the second generation of gods have the same needs and limited resources, conflicts are inevitable. The first generation of gods used absolute high pressure to control the second generation of gods, and because they were afraid of the enemy's combat effectiveness and the number of combatants, they did not exterminate the second generation of gods, which is where the first generation of gods killed themselves.
The second generation of gods of the two countries came together to create a great chaos a hundred years ago in response to the weakness of the first generation of gods.
The cause of the chaos is very simple, the second generation of gods acted on their own and slaughtered the enemy humans, and then the other side of the second generation of gods gathered to fight back.
It is no longer possible to verify which side made the first move, and it does not matter. The slaughter will naturally attract a generation of gods, and the second generation of gods does not want to be exposed, so they are looking for a very remote village without a god to start attacking, and the first generation of gods cannot make a timely counterattack. At the same time, the second generation of gods carried out the same killing of the enemy country in the name of revenge.
Since the two countries are not well informed, they do not know why these massacres took place, only that the enemy country is provoking again, and that the contradictions are emerging and intensifying. In addition, they are also very dissatisfied with the practice of the second generation god to privately expand the flames of war. But for those who were slaughtered on the human side, especially the people at the bottom, they wanted to see the Patronus take revenge on the ZI.
In this way, the second-generation gods of the two countries gathered together and sold the intelligence of the Zi country, so that the second-generation gods of the enemy country could better sneak attack humans, and then Zi took the same information to carry out bao, so as to gain the support and trust of the humans who hate the enemy country, and the strength has increased.
The reaction of the first generation of gods to this was also expected by the second generation of gods, they could not participate in the new war, and they could only attack the second generation of gods who were already out of control in order to calm the situation.
With the great purge of one generation of gods against two generations of gods. The human side has finally seen clearly that a generation of gods does not intend to avenge Zi.
Under the qingkuang, where the war intensified and Zi's compatriots were slaughtered, the first generation of gods was actually attacking the second generation of gods.
This mode of thinking was widely accepted by both countries under the deliberate propaganda of the second generation of gods, and the followers of the first generation of gods switched overnight to the second generation of gods, who symbolized hawkishness and advocated a decisive battle with the enemy. In this way, the second generation of gods completed the blow against the first generation of gods for the first time.
"After decades of executing this simple plan, our second-generation gods have finally gained an advantage. Then, with the power of faith, we cleanse the gods of a generation who have not yet been able to recognize the form. Today, there is no difference between the first generation of gods and the second generation of gods. A generation of gods has not been killed, but there are not many of them. Everyone took out human resources and shared them, and gradually formed the current situation. As for the second generation of gods in the East Country, because there is no common goal, everyone has entered a mild hostile state, but some troubles have not disappeared. β
Zhou Shu listened to the story told by the moon on the sidelines, and always felt like a nascent junta armed to solve the ruling military government. This kind of thing is common in the history of the first world, and the approach of the second generation of gods is not a good strategy.
Under the qingkuang where the class ascent channel was blocked. There is a certain inevitability in the approach of the second generation of gods, and it will be clear if you look at the history of Japan that has not learned the culture of the imperial examination.
Zhou Shu looked at the disgusting moon who was licking his paws like ADHD, and asked what the new 'trouble that didn't go away' meant.
Weary Moon yawned, showing off all of Zi's fangs. She seems to be tired of talking, and perhaps it is not easy to speak human words with the body of a cat.
"Actually, the trouble has never changed, for our second generation of gods, the enemy has always been just those two guys. The god of the sun and the moon, the arrogant gods of the generation named after the sun and the moon. Tian shamelessly uses the human worship of the sun and moon to elevate Zi's guys. They were really clever and tied the zi to the most high-profile sun and moon in ancient times. Become synonymous with the sun and the moon. Even now, the two of them have a very large number of followers, and there is nothing we can do about it. β
"And then?" Zhou Shu had already guessed some qingkuang. The calculated generation of gods must also have a temper, and the war is not over yet.
"The war is not over yet!" "The moon is very face-saving to affirm Zhou Shu's speculation, "The sun god and the moon god, they are now united and are attacking the second generation god. It's ridiculous. The two of them even knew that they would have joined forces, and I wouldn't have thought about it ten years ago, but they actually did it. β
The down-and-out ruler carried out bao on the mutineers, and Zhou Shu did not think that this was anything unimaginable, and there was also a certain inevitability.
A person's will is very susceptible to emotion. Doing something very irrational, that's what's so dangerous about dictators and why they're disappearing. Radicalization can only be eradicated by handing over decision-making power to the majority. Most of the countries of the world do not want an individual who speaks his own and wields great power, and if he goes mad, it will be the end of Zi.
To use nuclear weapons, for example, it is much more dangerous to have the activation button in the hands of one person than in a vault that can be opened with 10,000 keys.
Now the sun god and the moon god, who have a large number of followers in the worship of the sun and the moon, are like dictators with atomic bombs, and no one can restrain their actions, so the probability of them taking irrational bao is very high, even if this bao will eventually bring about common destruction.
The sun god and the moon god really did this, and now the two of them are plotting to attack their enemy country separately. This approach was very wise, in the past, the two of them were enemies of each other, and they were afraid of each other's existence, and they did not dare to go deep into the enemy's country to go to war. Now they collude to avoid each other without fighting, using each other's power to destroy ZI's enemy, the second generation god, and ZI is increasing the number of followers by constantly launching bao against enemy countries.
Now Crescent Harbor is being attacked by the Moon God, but he is the only one attacking, as those slave traders said before, the many sea gods of Crescent Harbor can intercept his attack.
The god of the sea, which refers to the animal god in the form of a sea animal, is not fundamentally different from the land god such as spiders and cats. Now there are such a huge number of gods in the Crescent Harbor, and it is precisely to deal with the Moon God.
Tired of the moon said, I don't know why, the power of the moon god is growing in a very exaggerated way. Although it is not difficult for everyone to work together. But the growth is troubling.
When Zhou Shu heard this, he couldn't listen to it anymore. He reached for his phone through his pocket, trying to call the Grey Witch and ask her to come and save the scene. Zhou Shu used to think that the people here were fighting with humans, but now it's okay, it turns out that people and gods are dealing with a god king in an enemy country.
What kind of damage will be done after this kind of battle? Master Zhou was too lazy to speculate, so it was more reliable to ask the cat in front of him directly.
Lord Weary Moon has already said that he is tired, and he looks very tired. Having said so much, for such a long time, the hair on her body has been almost licked clean, and the burnt parts of her tail have all been magically restored. Now, it's time for her question.
"Stranger, your name is Zhou Shu, right?" Disgusted with the moon said the name again, and Zhou Shu nodded hurriedly. He also thinks that people sue sΓΉzi too many things. Zi doesn't live something, report it, and feel a little unhappy in my heart.
Sure enough, the moon aversion asked a more pointed question. "Where are you from?"
'Where did I come from?' This is a big topic in philosophy, and there are various interpretations of it on the basis of a hundred competing philosophical views, and Zhou Shu has read some such things in his professional classes, but obviously what people are asking is the literal meaning, and it has nothing to do with philosophy.
"I ...... From ......" Zhou Shu was hesitating now, 'Am I from the White Moon Country?, or am I from the First World?' and finally he chose a more acceptable way of saying that the Moon Weary Dagai is, "I'm from the other side of the sea. Far away lands. β
She was very satisfied with this answer, and Zhou Shu could tell this from her expression. This is understandable to him. And it is conceivable that if he says it differently, maybe this moon annoyance will be nerve-wracking.
"Do all of you know how to control the flames?" was another question from Disgusting Moon, "I do know a few people who can do similar things, but they're all dead. You know. This kind of power is terrible, and it is difficult for people who use this power to die well. β
"Huh?" Zhou Shu was a little confused, was it scary to control the flames? I felt that it was much worse than the means I had encountered before that could turn the corpse into white bones and then control the white bones.
Instead of answering, she looked at Ban Shi'er and asked, "Her left arm." It's hard to imagine that a human as strong as she could be so mortally wounded. β
"Well......" Zhou Shu shrugged his shoulders when he said this, "My country is not very peaceful, it can only be said that there are people outside the people and mountains outside the mountains." β
"And so it was. She lowered her head and sighed, but it actually looked like she was opening her mouth to bite into the air. She can now be sure that Zhou Shu's country does not seem to be simple, which is not a good sign for them.
"One last question. "It's the moon that asks questions. "You have come to our country............ What are you going to do?"β
Zhou Shu left the house of President Fly Stone before dark, and this guy who escaped halfway has not been chuxian since then, and he doesn't know where he has gone, but Zhou Shu happened to see his carriage from a distance when he left.
This time, President Fly Stone was no longer a coachman, but sat upright in the carriage. His face could be seen from the outside, and the carriage was driving towards his mansion with something that smelled like fire oil, and the two people passed by, but neither of them paid any attention to the other.
Nati rubbed her itchy nose and asked, "Does anyone smell the smell of fire oil?" β
Zhou Shu frowned and stared at the garden castle on the high ground in the distance, worried about the humans who lived in the mansion that the moon would not let him find.
He himself was very sure that Zi had heard the movements of other people, and it might be just an illusion that she was in someone else's house, who was she helping, right? But now she's clearly facing another challenge, dagai someone is going to burn down her house.
President Flystone can be said to have a deep hatred for this god of thieves, and when he peeked at it just now, this guy already looked very nervous. Merchants will bite people if they are driven crazy, if it weren't for the fact that the amount of fire oil is too large and the smell is too strong, Zhou Shu would not be so sure of the speculation of 'burning houses'.
When answering the last question of the tired moon, Master Zhou naturally told a lie. He wasn't stupid, he didn't tell the truth, he said something like 'we are here for peace' that he didn't believe and put on a smile.
He knew that Zi's lying level was very problematic, and he didn't know if he could fool a cat-
In the mansion of the Fly Stone President. As soon as Zhou Shu and his party went out on their front feet, the cat Shen Yuyue immediately plunged into a wooden box with a fluffy mat and closed her eyes very tiredly.
This box is for miscellaneous items, just enough to fit a standard-sized cat.
Although the moon is a god, it has been a cat before this, and it has not been a shuijue for so long. And she fought for a long time, which made her very tired.
But unfortunately, she didn't sleep as she wished, and the door of the room was knocked shortly after Zhou Shu left.
"Lord Weary Moon, are you okay?" a gentle female voice came from the door, and her tone was very memorable.
She really wants to pretend not to know and not open the door, she has this habit, and she used to pretend that Zi was not at home when she lived elsewhere. But she couldn't do that at this moment. Especially for this girl.
She opened the door with her extended tail, and Chuxian, a girl with thick eyebrows with a freckled face and somewhat messy hair, was in the doorway. The girl looked at the tail in front of her, and looked at the tail very smartly and pointed to the box in the corner, from where the fluffy striped thing came out.
"Is it my sister?" said a sleepy voice from the box, "you're bothering me more and more now." β
The girl walked over to the wooden box and crouched down, looking at the cat god who was staring at Zi with one eye and rubbing his face against the mat.
"You don't seem to be the right thing, what about your opponent?"
Disgusted with the moon replied: "Sent it away, but it's just a bunch of little devils full of lies." It can't hurt me. β
"You're meishi, but they seem to be very powerful. I just heard ......"
The girl was in the upstairs room when Zhou Shu and his party were fighting with the weary moon, leaning against the wall and listening. The sound of the fight downstairs was not small, and the disgusting moon was beaten several times and screamed, which made the girl very worried.
Tired of Yue heard that the girl next to her seemed to be about to mention the question of zi's scream, and quickly diverted the topic, "How are you now?" Are you feeling better? How many days are you up?"
Weary Moon has been asking this question for the past few days, the girl's body has some injuries, and her calf is wrapped in bandages, and the wound is located at the height of the box where Weary Moon is lying, and she can see through the edge of the wooden box when she looks up.
In fact, the injury is almost healed. Originally, it wasn't very serious, and dagai was the kind of small injury that Chu Niang occasionally suffered in the kitchen.
This wound was brought about by the disgust of the moon, because of her laziness, she led to some terrible things, and it also made her and the girl in front of her have some intersections in their lives.
The girl is a thief, the kind of thief who steals bread.
People who steal for food were rare in the era when Zhou Shu was born, and it was one of the excusable sins. But in the land of Nishinokuni, where material resources are not so abundant, there is no place to cry out even if the food thief is caught, even if he is killed.
Cang Liao knows etiquette, and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing. There was not only one freckle girl who was forced to steal food, but also one of her sisters, who was three years older than her, also had a little freckles on her face, shoulders and chest.
A month ago, the two stole a bag of flour and were chased down the street. The sisters went to a strange street to commit a crime, and it was not the first time they had stolen, but it was the first time they had stolen after deciding to believe in the god of stealing and make it their life's work.
The two of them also have a sense of honor and shame, but only after they have eaten their fills will they think that Zi's behavior is problematic. But there is no other way, in the normal way they don't have anything to eat, women can't find serious jobs in this port city, the economic activities in this world are still a little poor, and there are not many bosses. In other cities, female workers are recruited in orchards and farms in the suburbs. Unfortunately, the Crescent Harbor is currently being attacked by the Moon God, and production activities around the city have long ceased to exist.
The thief sister's method of stealing things is average, and she was discovered by the shopkeepers.
The clerk's favorite encounter is the female thief, and the female thief is the one who chases the most actively. If the stealer is a man, the clerk who was kicked out by the boss to catch the thief should weigh it, and don't be led to their den of thieves and beaten up. The female thieves can take the risk and try it, as long as they can be twisted back, and the boring life of these men will have a hint of color.
The reason why the sisters committed the crime in an unfamiliar street was simple, they didn't want their neighbors to see Zi's theft. The two of them finally had a decent place to live in the city, much better than the broken wooden houses in the slums, and there would be no water accumulation when it rained, and the security was okay and the neighbors were friendly. They weren't prepared to meet acquaintances, and they were pretty familiar with the shops near their homes.
The reason why the two chose the shop pΓΉ on this street is because this street is inhabited by the god of thieves, in the deepest part of the street, a wooden house in a wasteland.
No human being will lightly step into the abode of the Patron Deity, except for his followers. Lived there before the weary moon, a pretty clean place. Cats are one of the animals integrated into human society, and do not live far away like other animal gods, but as a god, she cannot interact too closely with humans, and the dilapidated houses in the wasteland are her better places to live.
Because of her presence, many thieves and robbers are willing to patronize the nearby shop, which is said to be blessed. However, these are all rumors, and the moon is not capable of helping others in this regard.
The two sisters listened to the rumors and knocked on the god of thieves when they were chased and cornered, but they were ignored by the weary moon who was sleeping lazily at the time. She used to do this a lot, completely ignoring the people looking for Zi and pretending not to be at home. It wasn't until my sister was beaten to death for resisting that the lazy Tired Moon felt that the believer died unexpectedly by Zi's side, so she saved her sister...... (To be continued......)
