For Zhou Shu, this battle with the God of Thieves seems to have lasted a little long. Before returning to the Eighth World, he rarely experienced a protracted battle, as his previous opponents were clearly strong and weak. Either it's so strong that it can't be beaten, or the dish can be pinched to death at will, even if it's at the same level, it's the kind of qingkuang that wins and loses overnight. The battle of three days and three nights like the one written in Jin Yong's martial arts novel has never happened at all.

As a result, not long after returning here, Qingkuang, who had experienced Aleusha fighting with the Bone Behemoth for an afternoon in the unfortunate Iron Key City, and now met this cat pseudo-divine envoy, the battle seemed to be getting longer and longer.

After the cat's transformation, its temperament has decreased a lot, and it has become no essential difference from ordinary werewolf monsters, but there is a certain difference in appearance. The feeling of pressure brought by cats in this state increases very dramatically, and Zhou Shu and Nati have some stomach pain, which is a natural physiological reaction after feeling pressure.

It was Ban Shi'er, who didn't seem to be affected much, grabbing his weapon and watching the God of Thieves complete his change with an indifferent expression.

"Come on, let's continue. ”

As the cat's words spoke, she rushed towards Ban Shi'er with her paws at a speed that was a little difficult for Zhou Shu to catch. Ban Shi'er frowned and didn't react, only raising her leg to kick the enemy in front of her a second before the cat attacked her body.

With a 'whoop', the cat was kicked to the ceiling and smashed against the chandelier.

"Not fast enough. Ban Shi'er and Nati spoke at the same time.

Both of them are moon-level internal organs, and their eyesight and reflexes can shiying the speed of this cat god. Nati couldn't quickly fight back with her lower legs, but it was okay to throw a punch from her arm. Ban Shi'er rarely uses her upper limbs after losing her dominant hand, but she is not as biased as Nattie, and she has a way to attack.

Zhou Shu looked at the cat god who flew out screaming with black lines all over his head, and it was all afternoon. Whenever this cat takes the initiative to attack, it will be beaten and squeaked.

Master Zhou saw that Ban Shi'er's body seemed to be in some strange condition, her body seemed to be steaming hot, and her forehead seemed to be sweating a lot, which looked like sweating in the quilt after a cold.

This kind of qingkuang chuxian when fighting, it should be Ban Shi'er's change system ability at work. In Zhou Shu's opinion. Ban Shi'er's change system should be similar to Zi's, and some physical abilities have been strengthened in a way that is less easily noticeable.

It's not the first time I've seen Zhou Shu, a person from the month-level change department, and the messy princess with messy hair is one of them. Looking at it now, the ability to manipulate hair and the ability to improve combat effectiveness like Ban Shi'er, which have their own abilities, is still a little difficult to distinguish between the superior and the inferior.

While Lord Zhou observed Ban Shi'er very carefully, he suddenly noticed some strange situations. He had eaten hearing-enhancing candy, and as he was just concentrating, he seemed to hear the breathing of other humans in the room.

Auditory enhancement only allowed Zhou Shu to hear wider, but it could not make him echolocate like a bat and a dolphin. He tilted his ears and listened carefully for a while. It seemed as if there really was someone else in the room, and that person or those people were holding their breath very carefully, as if they weren't going to let Zi find out.

The Book of Summoning is useless at this time, because its search range is too large, and it can't be narrowed down on its own, and a casual search can cover the entire city. A small city of more than 100,000 people like Crescent Port is pediatrics for the scope of the Book of Calling.

The god of thieves smashed the chandelier hanging from the roof of the shed with his back, and the expensive-looking metal lamps crackled and scattered all over the ground. A whole bunch of candles also fell.

Master Zhou waved his hand and lit a candle. It's kind of helped decorate the battlefield. As for the human voice, he couldn't care too much about it, so he simply didn't see it.

The cat's expression was shocked after being beaten, "How come?!You're just human!"

Zhou Shu pouted, "Should humans be weak?"

"Of course!" the cat god roared without temperament, "If human beings are not weak, why do we need the protection of our gods!"

Who are you protecting? Zhou Shu really wanted to ask. If this is said by the mountain demon. Master Zhou probably wouldn't have killed him, at that time he didn't understand what the relationship between the guardian spirit and humans was, and he didn't understand it very well now.

Translating the words of the cat god to Ban Shi'er, Ban Shi'er's brows furrowed even tighter, "This country." How many Patronus Saints are there?"

Thousands of strange-shaped pseudo-divine envoys have been found in the Book of Summoning of Zhou Shu, and if it involves the entire country, I am afraid the number will be around 100,000. If this is the case, for Zhou Shu, this world is really a bone that is difficult to gnaw.

The magician asked him to unify the world, and at first he thought that he would be able to deal with the human regime, but he didn't expect to have to let Zi deal with this kind of thing. He now understands why the Reformation is a top priority in both the Outer World and the Inner World, and with these gods in it, there is really no way for human beings to do things well.

This question was also translated by Zhou Shu to the cat god, and he just said it casually, without thinking that the cat would answer zi. The cat snorted when she heard this question, "Now there are less than 10,000 gods left, and after repeated defeats, our number has shrunk to one-tenth of what it was ten years ago." Outsider, you seem to have just arrived in this country, why do you speak the language so well?"

"Defeated?" Zhou Shu didn't leave the cat's question, because something that interested him more was put out.

"That's right, defeated. The cat smiled, showing all her teeth, looking horrible. "Hello, I'd love to know about this. Why don't we make a deal?"

Zhou Shu didn't forget the mission of Jìzi to come to this world, Fanzheng wouldn't be fighting with this cat. Hearing that there was a deal to be made, he nodded decisively. "Let's talk about the content first. ”

The cat straightened up and raised a finger, he looked a little like Mewtwo.

"You seem to be interested in the country, but you don't know anything. I can tell you what this country is going through, including the war between humanity and the war between our gods. If you go out there and find a random human, he can tell you something, but it's definitely not as detailed as I am as a god. ”

Zhou Shu nodded slightly after listening, "Sounds quite attractive." So what am I going to pay for it?"

"You've been asked to get me out of here, aren't you?"

"Uh......" Zhou Shu hesitated, "It seems that the Fly Stone Leader still wants to retrieve the things he threw away from you, we were invited to do this, and now it seems that it can't be done." ”

The cat nodded and said, "No, I really threw his boring stuff into the sea." Now the sea is not going to go down. I don't think he'll be able to get that pile of junk back. Outsider, if you want to get information from me, then I want you to stop getting involved in these things, I don't want to move from here for the time being, do you think this deal is fair?"

The god of thieves seems to have no intention of fighting at all. Her previous attack seemed to have used all her strength, but it was an easy knockout, which was quite a huge blow to her.

"It's a fair deal. Zhou Shu replied: "We are willing to help that president, and we just wanted to ask some things from him at first, and we don't mind changing the trading partner." I'm a little curious, though. Why don't you have to stay in the house in Zhedong?"

Zhou Shu remembered the sound of human breathing coming from the house just now, and he was sure that there were other people living here.

The cat smiled, bent over and landed on all fours, quickly returning to the tabby cat, which meant that she was disarmed, but her tail was still that long.

Faced with a question, the cat just replied. "I'm doing God's duty, that's all. ”――

A good trading partner is very rare. It's not easy to find. If the object of the transaction is an ordinary human, then these people who are too greedy and too greedy may have a lot of difficulties in the content of the transaction, and if the object is a god, many things will be much easier.

The mansion of the Flystone Leader is already a little tattered after the battle between the cat god and Nattie and Banshier, but it is limited to the hall. The cat god seemed to have lived in this house for a long time, and with a very skillful guide wagging his tail, he led Zhou Shu and the three of them to a room that seemed to be for hospitality and sat down.

The other side of the hall is obviously not a good place to chat. It's a lot better here.

"Come on, speak your question, mortal. ”

Zhou Shu didn't like to be called like this by a cat, "My name is Zhou Shu, can you call me by my name." ”

The cat smiled when she heard this. "Why, you're not happy to call you mortal. Do you want to be a god?"

"Uh......" Zhou Shu hesitated and scratched his head, and then made a flame from the palm of his hand. "Look at me like this, am I mortal?"

"Tricks?" the cat didn't even raise its eyelids, "I've seen a lot of this kind of thing, if you're really not an ordinary person, then let my tail catch fire too." ”

"Is that good?"

"You're pretending to be the real thing. "Cats seem to recognize that humans don't have chuxian.

Zhou Shu reminded: "You didn't think that human beings would have the power of Ban Shi'er before. ”

"These are two different things. ”

"You're too stubborn. This is Zhou Shu's last warning.

"My tail is still intact. The cat shook proudly, and then with a 'poof' sound, her entire tail was burned, and the slow tail wagging turned into a super violent swing, and it was finally extinguished that the fire was extinguished.

Zhou Shu put on an expression of 'I'm just at your request', looked at the cat innocently, and the cat called Zhou Shu helplessly, and then reported to his home.

"I, weary of the moon, god of theft, are the defeated men of your female companions. ”

The cat licked the cat on Zi's body while teasing Zi like this, Zhou Shu heard the name of the tired moon and was full of black lines, "That, what the hell is your name, I have heard of Split Moon and Moon Hunting, you are all Yuezi generations, right?"

The moon-weary cat shook its somewhat charred but slowly recovering tail, and smiled to indicate that the question was a good question.

"I was just wondering where to tell you the story. Since you asked for my name, I'll start here. ”――

Like the continent where the White Moon Country and the Forest Country are located, there are only two countries on the American continent of the Eighth World, one east and one west, and there have been frictions and disputes for thousands of years.

On top of the country, there is a group of gods called guardian gods. These gods are essentially nothing more than animals with powers, where they came from and how they came to be. They don't know either. The only thing they know is that human faith can give them the strength to prolong their lives.

In the eyes of these animals, humans are the equivalent of energy. The more humans you support, the more power and longevity you have.

Because the country of the east and the country of the west are inseparable, they are inseparable. The contradictions are so intense that they cannot be reconciled. In order to cater to these humans and gain their trust, these animals, which have more power than humans, gradually claim to be gods and protectors, and protect the humans of the two countries in the face of war, so as to earn trust.

Gradually, humans really think that these animals are gods, and the animals also take on the responsibility of being 'gods' by taking care of human energy.

Days like this went on for a while. Each of the gods has found the ZI to serve and protect the ZI's adherents. Humans in the two countries on the continent each have at least one Patronus. The guardian deity is of the gods, and after the child is born, according to the belief of one of the parents, he will recognize a god as the patron saint of zi, and name the child after this deity. When the child grows up, he can also choose the god he believes in, and the belief can be changed at any time.

Humanity has never had peace with the care of the gods. The war between the two opposing countries has been going on. In the land of the west, the one with the most believers is the sun god. On the eastern side of the country is the god of the moon. These two gods, each with more than half of the population of the two countries, are very powerful, and they have used this power to launch many attacks on enemy countries in an attempt to end the war with war.

You must know that population growth in peacetime is very attractive to the gods, but unfortunately war will only lead to never-ending war, and the claims of the two great gods have not been realized. On the contrary, it increases the hatred of each other.

Two hundred years ago, a great event took place in the world, and a new group of 'gods' was born. Just like the first batch of 'gods' came out of nowhere thousands of years ago, the new gods are so dazed in the whole world, including the cat god who is doing the explanation work at this time.

The new gods were quickly recognized as combat power. Recruited by the gods of two countries, they learned about the world very quickly and had the target of their hatred, the head of the gods of the empire.

The name of the weary moon is the name of the typical second god of the country of the west, and it was taken by the second god of the second generation, symbolizing the disgust with the moon god, the boss of the country of the east. The same goes for moon hunting and the like.

Since the second generation of gods chuxian, the number of gods in the world has suddenly more than doubled, but the number of human beings has not risen, and the situation of more wolves and less meat chuxian is among the gods.

When the cat said this, it reminded very kindly, "What I said is all observations and judgments made from the perspective of a god. If humans were to talk about these things, I'm afraid it would be a different version. ”

Zhou Shu understood this, and motioned for the cat to continue talking, Zi's naodai can keep up with the rhythm for the time being.

What she said next was relatively subjective, because these things were all things she had experienced.

Due to the increasing number of gods, new gods need the faith of humans, and a generation of gods wants to protect the believers of Sushiko...... In this way, the contradiction between the two generations of gods was born and caused conflict.

Since the first generation of gods has more human beliefs, the second generation of gods can only swallow their anger in this contradiction, and it is impossible to blatantly confront the first generation of gods. Moreover, there are no leading figures like the sun god and the moon god in the second generation of gods, but the first generation of gods has a big leader and is relatively more united.

In this way, the strength of the second generation of gods is weak, and they are scattered, and they have no capital and ability to compete with the first generation of gods, so they can only be slaughtered by others. Soon, a large number of second-generation gods were killed by the first-generation gods for various reasons, and their survival became precarious. A hundred years ago, the second generation of gods finally recognized their two weaknesses.

They can't change that without believers, but they can do this kind of thing as unity. Moreover, the unity of the two gods is even greater than that of the first generation of gods, the first generation of gods unite around the sun god and the moon god, like their satellites, and the second generation of gods knows no borders, and the second generation of gods of the country of the east and the country of the west are treated almost identically, and they are the first group in the two countries to abandon hatred and move towards peace.

The second-generation gods of the two countries sat together for a long time a hundred years ago, and finally came up with a way to harm the first-generation gods.

A generation of gods is not without weaknesses, and their greatest weakness is the fear of the scale of the war. Most human beings believe in the two great gods of the sun and the moon, although each person can believe in more than one god, but the spiritual power of one person is limited, and the amount that can be provided to the gods is even more limited. If the war breaks out and the population is reduced, then the unfortunate ones are the gods who are believed in by the military and the people at the bottom. If the war continues to expand, then more of God's interests will be affected.

Although these ripples are not fatal, the gods of the generation who spend their days calculating how to increase the number of believers in Zi will not allow this to happen. They only want to see an increase in the number of believers in zi, and they don't want to see any qingkuang that has the potential to make things worse happen.

Once you know what your enemies care about, it's easy to get rid of them. A group of second-generation gods rejected the two countries' commitments and gathered in one place to conspire against a big plan against their superiors. (To be continued......)
