Zhou Shu had heard before coming to the country of the east that the royal family in this country was very withered, although he was not sure how many people there were, but what he could know was that there was no princess.

The news came from Tiddlelem's family's intelligence service, and it was clear that these people were a bunch of guys who had taken the money to eat and mess around. Even the civilians of the western country, such as Ou Na and Quexi, knew that the royal family Ding was prosperous, but they were just hidden, but these guys swore that they gave false answers.

Zhou Shu understood why the intelligence department would give such an answer. The reason is simple, it is nothing more than the hope of planning an assassination to destabilize the enemy country. If the assassination is only to get rid of one king, the king with a large number of heirs, it is difficult to convince the secret service organization of the West Country. If there is no one in the enemy royal family, kill one less and one less, and the high-level will naturally be more enthusiastic about attacking.

Whether this speculation is true or not, Zhou Shu can't be sure, and it is very likely that it is just those intelligence officers who are eating and waiting to die.

Seeing the princess leaning, Zhou Shu glanced at the sedan chair with the book of summoning. He felt that he was a princess a long time ago, and he actually had some expectations for the one in front of him, but after reading it, he grabbed a passer-by next to him and asked him about the identity of this princess.

The passer-by was an uncle who talked about the secrets of the royal family, and I don't know if he was true.

"Princess Netherheim is the eldest daughter of the late king, and she has never married, and I heard that she is about to be promoted to prince. After all, people who are almost fifty years old can't live in the palace all the time. I wonder if her territory is in this area of the Holy City, and the lords here are very nervous. ”

Zhou Shu was grateful for this guy's explanation, and then sighed at the honor guard. A little disappointed, he knew exactly what he was disappointed about.

Ou Na and Qi Xi didn't have the heart to waste time here, and dragged Zhou Shu to the temple.

Earlier today, Quexi had a little chat with Zhou Shu about the selection of the main god. She heard about the selection with Ou Na yesterday, and although Baixing is a hard talker, he has a strong narrative ability, and things are explained in an orderly and clear manner.

Ou Na and Que Xi are very heartless, hoping that Zhou Shu can join the battle for the main god. Help Baixing get the position of the main god back. Although the main god is a spider, which makes people a little uncomfortable, it is still a rabbit that is cute.

Zhou Shu has no objection to this. He's pretty sure his opponent won't be much stronger this time. However, taking the initiative is still not his style, there are so many strange pseudo-gods in this city, who knows if there will be any dangerous people among them. The tree is a big move. After all, Zhou Shu is not a real immortal, and he doesn't want to be a dead person. The only thing he could take the initiative was to try to get in touch with one of the other candidates and get to know them as best he could. If their combat power was as good as that spider, Zhou Shu didn't mind winning the game, and then finding a way to call the Aleusha group to destroy more of the country's gods.

The three of them entered the temple, and this was the second time that Sparrow had been here, and the purpose was the same as yesterday, to ask about the king's whereabouts.

"It's something we manage. But at present, there is a royal family in the city, and this right will naturally be transferred to the royal family. Your Royal Highness, Princess, I advise you to go and ask His Highness Netherheim for advice. If we share information with you without permission, we may be in danger of crossing the line in our profession. ”――

The tiger grabbed the head of the temple and held her in place, holding her in place with his fingers on her eyelids, forcing her to adapt to the scenery from a high place.

"Well, isn't it beautiful? I like the high place the most. ”

The tiger girl thinks that other people should like what she likes, but she is not as resistant as before. staring at dozens of meters below him, he is a little more accustomed to it.

"It feels okay. But I don't like it. ”

When the tiger girl heard this, she let go of her hand with satisfaction and let go of her partner. "Alright, now that you're used to the heights, I'll take you around the city. Fly away. ”

Xiye shook his hand in a panic, "Don't! I think it's better to walk around the city with your feet!"

"Why?" the tiger girl wondered, "Isn't it more efficient to use flying?"

I didn't want to be taken to the sky anymore, so I hurriedly explained: "Shopping doesn't need to be efficient, you have to be more meticulous, come slowly!"

"Is it like this?"

"That's right, if you want to go around, I can accompany you, we can eat something, go to the musical, go to the circus and the magic book!" said Xi Ye excitedly, and then pulled out the ornament he had obtained yesterday, a hollow gold ornament, which was very suitable for paperweights and pen rests. "I can sell it and get money to do these things. ”

"Musical...... Circus and Magic Book ......" Tiger Girl searched for these words in her head, and thought for a long time before she understood the meaning.

"Haven't you seen this before? It's a god, so it should be easy to see, right?"

The Tiger Girl shrugged, "There's no way, I've just been born for a month, and I've been busy with the selection of the main god." It took a lot of effort for me to be a candidate god. ”

"A month, I think I've heard you say it before. "But you don't know those interesting things?"

"Knowing only the nouns, these common senses are innate. But I haven't seen what it looks like. ”

"That's great! Because I haven't seen it either. Xiye dragged his paperweight excitedly, "Let's go see it together!!

Tiger doesn't have anything serious to do, at least she doesn't have a clue about what she wants to do, but she can have fun. But......

"Keep your gold, I am God, and I am rich. ”

"yes, I forgot. But I didn't want to use other people's money, so I sold this useless thing, and I gave my share. ”

Tiger smiled at the short girl beside her and her dagger-like teeth, "You can be my guide and take me to find those fun things, it's only natural that I'm taking a share of the money for the guide!"

This statement finally made Xiye accept. However, the two of them can't just run to play, they have to go and get some money.

The tiger girl has no money at all, so she needs to ask the temple for it. She figured that the temple wouldn't mind giving her some gold and silver.

Grabbing the neck of the night, the tiger girl jumped from the highest point of the temple. With the little girl's long and sharp scream, as a god, she landed lightly and walked into the temple under the eyes of the believers. As soon as she came to the door, she met an old acquaintance.

"Hundred Shapes?!Are you possessed by Hundred Shapes?"

The tiger girl stood in front of a man, asking excitedly, and her nose kept sniffing around the man. She's pretty sure. The person in front of him is the partner chosen by Baixing.

Zhou Shu was stopped by a woman, and he thought that it was his recently explosive girl luck who was causing trouble. Later, it was found that this guy's teeth were quite terrifying, like sharks, and it should be quite painful to be bitten. From her words, it is not difficult to find that she knows Baixing.

"That...... Who are you?"

Zhou Shu asked. Ou Na and Quesi beside him grabbed his sleeves and whispered in his ear with a nervous face, "This is naturally also a patron saint, and the robe she wears is the patron saint's clothes!"

It's not new to see the guardian saint in this kind of crowded place, and I've seen it many times in the West Country Zhoushu, where the guardian saint also has a fixed costume, but it's different from this one.

"Eh, human, didn't you hear Hundred Shapes mention me? What about Hundred Shapes? I feel like he's in your body, tell him to come out to see me!"

The Tiger Girl's tone was a little arrogant. This made Zhou Shu vigilant. He looked the tiger girl up and down for a long time before looking at the little girl hiding behind her. The little girl's delicate face finally made Zhou Shu feel better, and he let go of his vigilance.

"Hundred shapes fell asleep after attaching themselves to me. It seems to be because of the fact that the mana is consumed too much. ”

"Is that so?" the tiger girl frowned and pinched her chin and pondered for a while, "Well, I understand, it seems that there is such a thing, it seems that everyone has ignored it, but fortunately I didn't attach it to anyone." ”

"Are you also a candidate god?" Zhou Shu stared at this beautiful female god. The impression of those false gods suddenly changed a little.

"My name is Tiger, Tiger Clan. Three generations of gods. Hawkers, I don't need to introduce myself, just ask him when that guy gets up. Be careful with the power you get, though, as he'll probably have to sleep a little longer if you keep using it to drain his mana. ”

Zhou Shu had already heard of this setting, but the hundred shapes were his summons, so it was okay to do anything, and it was better to use the excuse that the hundred shapes were sleeping and not let him, an impostor, come out to meet people. Just as he was thinking about these things, the tiger girl suddenly moved her hand and pinched Zhou Shu's arm.

"The arm muscles are terrifying, are you really human?" said the Tiger Girl, squeezing her shoulder again, and then let out the same exclamation.

Master Zhou admitted that he was suddenly attacked, and he didn't know how to avoid this kind of non-malicious physical contact from women, and he was poked all over by the jumping tiger girl very lightly.

"It seems that I really want to congratulate Baixing, I actually found a human with such a strong body. The tiger girl patted the head of the cowering Xiye behind her, and smiled at Zhou Shu, "Look at my partner, you can shatter your skull with one finger." ”

Xiye looked at Zhou Shu's fingers with a frightened face, and Master Zhou helplessly squatted on the ground and put on a smiling face, assuring this little man that he would not play her head.

"Don't believe what this guy says. The tiger girl reminded in front of Zhou Shu, "Now that we are in a competitive relationship, it is normal for him to attack you suddenly." ”

"Attack me???!" Xiye hugged the tiger girl's thigh and shrank further, Zhou Shu waved at her again and again, indicating that it was just a joke of the tiger girl, but the little girl didn't seem to believe it at all.

Zhou Shu introduced himself a little, indicating his identity as a traveler, hoping to make the tiger girl stop doing this kind of prank.

He didn't feel the slightest threat from the tiger girl, and the warrior alarm didn't jump out, so he was very casual with the tiger girl, and didn't treat her as an enemy. But even so, Zhou Shu was still ready to kill her, at least to call Alyusha to kill this guy.

The question of religion has always been the biggest obstacle to the integration of the two civilizations, and the good news is that the religion of this continent is based on the real gods rather than the chaotic dogmas. As long as these things do not exist, the zĂ i religion will disintegrate. Tangible things are the easiest to destroy, and spiritual things are more difficult to eliminate. Many rulers have tried to destroy culture and spirituality, but they have failed. Although they destroyed a lot. But he can't always make people give up thinking as he hopes.

Looking at the cheerful and kind tiger girl, Zhou Shu felt as if he was a little too cruel. Destroying this kind of thing is not the only way to solve the problem, he is thinking about whether there are other possibilities. He is no longer the kind of little boy who sees a beautiful girl who can't walk, and he has a good impression of the appearance of the tiger girl and the kitten he met before, and it seems cruel to kill these kind people because of class.

Zhou Shu has been sneaking around a lot lately to think about his own business. Just as he was once again wandering into the world, the tiger girl put away her smile. Guarding the night behind him, he bared his teeth and stared at Zhou Shu with a fierce look.

"You, man, what are you thinking about!"

She felt Zhou Shu's dangerous thoughts.

Zhou Shu came back to his senses from a trance. Looking at the tiger girl's guarded appearance, she was a little puzzled. "What's wrong?" he quickly reacted, could it be that he had scared her. He wasn't sure if any of these guardian spirits knew anything like mind-reading, so he quickly defended himself, saying that he didn't have it, but that he was just a god.

The tiger girl didn't say anything, escorted the night to the temple, and glanced back at Zhou Shu from time to time, like a mother who took custody of the child and still didn't seek progress after staring at her husband after the divorce.

Zhou Shu felt that he was very innocent, obviously he was trying to think about the patron saint class. but he was treated as a bad person. He also admired the tiger's animal instincts and decided to minimize the time for cranky thinking in the future.

I didn't hear from the king from the temple. Quesai could only walk in the direction of the annex palace where the royal family stayed. The Temple City is often home to royal families, and after all, it is a large religious city, and it is responsible for holding many ceremonies and sacrifices that require the participation of the royal family, so it has a palace. In contrast, Baiyue City had only recently built a palace, and the royal family had been living in a black contract before. If it weren't for the development of the magic of the White Moon Country, the White Moon Castle would even be a problem with lighting.

Lord Zhou was interested in seeing the country's palace, so he accompanied him. It's a place full of gods. He is also not worried about letting Ou Na, a troublemaker, go alone, yesterday's incident is a lesson.

Xiye and Tiger went to the priests to ask for money, and the work went smoothly. The priests wondered how they had never seen a patron saint come and ask for money after decades of clergy and service to God. They are very enthusiastic about this kind of thing, and they have to be like children feeding kittens and puppies for the first time, and they gave a lot of change and gold coins, and put them in three bags after sorting and processing, and then kept telling the tiger girl not to spend it wrong, it will make people laugh, and if it doesn't work, give the whole money, and then say that there is no need to look for it.

One of the tasks of the priests is to maintain the majesty of the gods, but the Tiger Maiden feels that she lacks it now, and is simply treated like a child by these fellows.

She listened listlessly to a bunch of old guys nagging there, and watched helplessly as Xiye covered her mouth and giggled. After watching it for a while, as if laughter was contagious, she laughed too, and the priests were very strange.

With money, two people who had never spent money before embarked on an urban adventure. The tiger girl changed out of her patron saint's white robe and dressed like a village girl, which she bought at a second-hand clothing store on the side of the road.

The reason why I don't go to the tailor shop is very simple, because I have been to a second-hand clothing store in my life, and I still sell clothes instead of buying. The reason why she became an orphan girl is mainly because of the problem of falling into the middle of the family. Originally, her family was also a small merchant family, but later the business failed, and it was normal for her to be sold as a girl, but she escaped at night, and fled all the way from the town to the holy city, and was sheltered by the girls' home.

For most orphan girls, the girls' home is a terrible place, but I love it very much. However, she still escaped from the job assigned to her by the girls' home, after all, it was God's will, and the tiger girl wanted her to escape.

"Tiger God, are you hungry, let's go eat something first?"

The tiger girl gritted her teeth, made a crunching sound, and said to Xiye, "The guardian spirit doesn't eat. ”

"But you can eat it, right?"

"Yes, but a lot of people told me not to try it, lest I get addicted, like smoking grass. ”

"Eating is not the same as smoking, right?"

She had seen many pipe-smokers when she was not yet a little orphan. Knowing the dangers of that kind of thing, she has also seen the more terrifying 'devil tobacco' that can make people addicted.

"Smoking makes people worse, eating makes people stronger!"

"Not necessarily. The Tiger Girl disputed this. "We gods don't need to eat, and if we do, there will be some changes that can only happen to you humans. ”

"What's changed?"

"Excretion!"

The tiger girl said the word loudly, and she rolled her eyes at the night. "It's not a big deal!"

Not so with God. The tiger girl casually pointed to the corner alley, where there was a man crouching by the wall. "You think I'll do that kind of thing?"

Xiye frowned and looked unhappy, "Waste food because of choking." She said this, wanting to criticize the tiger girl's behavior of giving up beautiful things because of a little thing. But apparently this proverb is not convincing to God.

"I don't care. I'm hungry, give me your money. I'm going to eat!"

Xiye is now familiar with the tiger girl, and it is completely different from what she did just now, and she took the initiative to ask for money. The Tiger Girl gave her a silver coin, and she grabbed the money and ran quickly to the cake shop on the side of the road with a large ornate sign and a wide porch.

The cake shop is a place that every little girl in Tonokuni yearns for. However, it is a pity that the high-end decoration at the entrance of the store discourages most children from poor families, and they don't even have the heart to go in and have a look. In this country, this kind of pastry shop is definitely only found in a few big cities, and the bright appearance is very gentle and rejects most civilian families.

Xi Ye is wearing a new dress now, she originally had a lot of luggage, and there was some change of clothes inside, which had been worn for several years. The figure of an ordinary little girl changes every year, but she can still wear the clothes of five years ago at night. So far last year, she was happy about it. Those luggage were thrown away by the tiger girl, and Xi Ye also rescued the best clothes and put them outside before she attacked and destroyed the carriage and snatched herself. Still, being in a cake shop. She still looked a little out of place.

The waiters in the store came to greet her very kindly, and did not treat her differently because she was wearing a 'mother's style' outfit with poor workmanship and poor materials. However, the other girls in the store who came for the sweet taste of the cake frowned at her, and their disgust was overflowing.

In their opinion, the presence of this girl spoiled the noble atmosphere of the store.

I've never been to such a place, and I don't know which one is more noble, the cake or the whole silver coin.

She took out the silver coin and carefully asked the kind waiter. I hope he can help him choose something delicious for him.

Although she is sometimes timid, she is a girl with strong action. It does not belong to the group of civilians who are turned away by the gate and decoration. Try to smile and say that if this silver coin is only used to buy ordinary cakes and juice, it will save up a little girl as big as Cherish.

"I'm good at eating!

Xi Ye said this, her mood was extremely excited, she originally thought that the value of the cake was very high. Her words drew snickering from some of the little girls who were dining in the store, and most of them were brought over by servants, so no one blamed them for their laughter.

The waiter was in a difficult situation, he didn't want a child to walk around with a cake full of paper bags. But at the urging of the night, he could only do this.

Cardboard boxes containing small cakes are lined with plates, and there are slowly jars of juice next to them. I opened the box and looked at my cake, which was exactly the same as what I had seen in my impression. Then she looked at the other girls of the same age in the store, and she followed the example of these girls, dragging the cake and eating it in small bites.

She wanted to learn from these people, but the taste of the cake made her mouth secrete too much saliva, urging her to fill her mouth quickly so that the saliva would not drip down. As a result, a cake was quickly stuffed into her mouth, so that her small mouth did not even have room to chew.

When the waiter saw her like this, he hurriedly brought the juice to her, which could be regarded as saving the night.

"Where did the thief come from, he stole the family's money and came here? ”

In front of the small double dining table next to Xiye, a girl who looked very rich said this loudly. This drew the approval of several girls next to her.

"Waiter, why don't you let her out? ”

The voice was unrelenting, and was applauded by those around her, as if she was a hero who spoke up when she saw injustice.

In the corner of the store, a metal dinner plate was suddenly thrown and smashed right on the rich girl's head, and then fell to the ground with a parapara sound.

In the corner, the night bee-eater pulled Crane Rhine out of his seat, and looked helplessly at the night who was still eating without heart and lungs.

"I said you, can't you be angry when someone says that?

For the orphan girls in the girls' home, it seems that this cake shop has an extraordinary charm, and it does not only attract the night alone. (To be continued)
