From the red stripes, sparrows have the ability to give 'life', not only to living things, but also to dead things to bring them back to life and become living beings.

The sparrows with this ability have so far only made small things out of practical means, and most of the materials are stones that are readily available.

She spent the whole day tending to the dilapidated foresters. It wasn't enough to describe the room as dilapidated, for there was an unstoppable smell of animals in the room, as if there had been a time when it had been occupied by animals, and the animals had now evacuated. The wooden floor of the house was covered with a thick layer of mud and animal feces, but there were no holes.

The door of the house was broken, and the sparrow only took the initiative to enter when he saw that it was wide open. A replacement door panel was found while it was being cleaned, standing in the empty room. The sparrow hesitated whether to use it as a bed or to block the door. She wouldn't press the door for the house, and after thinking about it for a while, she decided to block the door, and talk about sleeping later.

The clean-up went smoothly because the house was so dirty that it would feel like a new place if it was cleaned up a little. It can be seen that the building of this house is not very old, and the wooden staircase in front of the door and the wooden pillars under the floor of the house are still healthy, which is a suitable place to live.

The stone serpent that has been given life will obey the orders of the sparrow, in addition to having a certain amount of wisdom.8 The sparrow asked him to help him find something to eat, and in the morning he commanded it, so the snake caught a rabbit, and in the evening he did so, and this time there were two rabbits.

One dead rabbit was thrown to the fire, and the other was brought by the stone snake with its tail.

"Please help me deal with these animals. ”

The sparrow so ordered, and then put the large stone chip he found on the fire and roasted it. I added dry twigs to the side. The stone flakes were quickly roasted hot, and there were some traces of grease on them, which were left by the sparrows when they were eating, and they had not been washed in the river for a long time.

The stone snake tore the rabbit in half with its body, and then used the sharp stone at the tip of its tail to dig into the flesh of the rabbit's body little by little. It can be seen that this stone snake does not handle its prey like a hunter, and does not skin and guts. It will only break the meat and dig it out.

Most of a rabbit is wasted, and the amount of clean meat that can be dug up is very small. The sparrow had no intention of taking on this kind of work at all, and she would rather eat less than clean up the animals without water.

Little by little, the minced meat was frozen, and it was fried by a stone snake on a stone chip like a baking tray. The minced meat is mixed with sand and is not seasoned with salt and other things, and it tastes terrible. Since there was no cleanup, the smell of blood was also strong. Sparrows aren't too picky about food, and she was already very happy when she ate it when she was in the girls' home. Cooking for herself like this is new to her now, and she's excited about it.

The stone snake slowly learned some skills in handling rabbit meat, or rather, learned to use the body more flexibly. The sparrow was in a daze at the fire after eating, it was already dark, and she really wanted a container for water so that she would not have to run to the creek a few hundred meters away to drink.

In addition to these, she also wanted some condiments and wanted a bed. She really wanted to go back to living in the city if she could, and the woods in the suburbs late at night were horrible.

The stone snake is rubbing its tail against the rocks protruding from the nearby pavement. It seems to be busy 'polishing'. It struggled to sharpen the tip of its tail as if it were preparing for tomorrow's breakfast.

Sparrow remembers why she escaped from the city, and she needs to keep her promise to keep Redvein alive. Although I don't know why the snake god with red veins suddenly stopped moving, I still have to keep my promise.

"Stone snake, come here. Come with me!"

The sparrow was used to ordering the stone creature that created her own zào, and she needed more of these things now so that it would be somewhat safer. Although it was already dark and the forest was filled with the sounds of strange animals moving in the dark, the sparrow was sure that he was strong at the moment. can deal with some emergencies, so she bravely entered the mountains and forests.

She was just looking for some stones, and to get a few more out like she had made a stone snake.

Stones can be found everywhere, but they need to be found carefully. After digging in the dark in the forest, I finally collected a dozen stones that could form a new stone snake.

The sparrow did not hesitate, and immediately put its life into it, and the stone snake quickly swam. The new snake was a little shorter than the first, because the sparrow was in a hurry, and did not find enough stones to make it. When she observed the new stone snake, she found that the more stones there were, the more joints the snake had, and the more flexible its body became, and the new one looked a little clumsy.

Although it was already night, the sparrow was still in good spirits, and she was very interested in making life.

The number of snakes soon increased to ten, as the sparrows found a rocky beach in the woods, full of stones of good size. When the stone snake reached the sixth one, the sparrow wondered if she should make them in a different way, so she tried to change it a little.

The body length of the sixth stone serpent is a combination of the previous five, like a rope made of stones. The long body of this thing is very useful and very powerful. Although it is not clear where this power comes from, the sparrow 'Little Six' attacked a tree with a thick bowl mouth, and it directly strangled the tree with its long body.

With enough helpers, the sparrow guards the stone pond and boldly creates more snakes. She looks like an insatiable businessman, keen on increasing her 'numbers'.

While giving life to the stone, the sparrow also tries to use its power on other things, such as the broken tree. Unfortunately, the tree of life is not able to move as flexibly as a stone snake, but is only very strangely swaying there. As you can see, the branches of the tree seem to have turned into hands and feet, and there are 'muscles' in them. It's just that there is no movement because of the lack of 'joints'.

The stone snake is made of stones spliced together, with many joints, and the two stones connected become inseparable.

While making the twentieth stone snake, Sparrow found a very handsome stone shaped like a departed axe, so she placed it on one end of the snake's body. Thus was born a 'stone axe snake'.

One end of the axe seems to have become a snake's tail, and the sparrow orders it to attack the innocent tree, and the stone axe snake slashes like a scorpion with its own axe tail. It's a pity that this attack is very bad, far less powerful than Xiao Liu, and it seems that it is because the 'muscular' strength of the stone snake is not enough.

"Is it because no one believes in the red stripes?"

Sparrow felt like she had found the point. As a third-generation patron saint who has just been born. The existence of the red stripe is unknown, and there is no direction for the master.

If God is not in charge, it is very difficult to be believed. Just as hunters believe in the god of hunting, and fishermen believe in the god of the sea, although the animal gods have nothing to do with these functions, as long as they get such a name, they can better gain the support of humans. As for the acquisition of fame, there is naturally a less peaceful procedure to follow.

"Since no one believes in you, I'll come. ”

The sparrow closes its eyes. In my heart, I remember the appearance of the red stripes. As long as you respect him sincerely, you can convey your faith without rituals, statues, altars, or swear to heaven by burning incense and bathing. As long as there is respect, it is faith.

The strength of the stone axe snake did not change much due to the sparrow's beliefs, but it was able to detect a slight change, and it seemed that the shot had become more flexible and powerful.

After a night of tossing, the number of snakes stayed at twenty-five. Most of them are standard models with similar specifications to the first one, but the last one is an elongated model that is longer than the smaller six. As a result, it was quite cumbersome to move.

The sky began to darken, the mist rose in the woods, and the sparrows went back to sleep in their not so clean huts.

She wanted to rest, but she didn't know where she should lie when she saw the floor that was still dirty. It is for this reason that she didn't sleep last night. If only there was a comfy queen bed and freshly sun-dried bedding. She probably got into it a long time ago.

The sparrow poked into the hut and glanced back at the stone snake that had swam with him from the rocky beach. Their movement destroyed a lot of the vegetation in the forest, and their heavy bodies rubbed against the branches and leaves of the plants and trees everywhere, giving off a very subtle smell.

Numerous stone snakes spread all over the ground, raising their 'heads' in the direction of the sparrows. It looks a little spectacular. Snake Twenty-Five was still swimming, standing in the last row, trying to gather all of its long body, which was a big job.

Sparrow suddenly felt as if he already had a little bit of power, but he didn't know if this power would help him win the tryouts. After this night's work, she found that as long as the dead thing had movable joints, it should be able to move to a certain extent after resurrection, which reminded her of armor. Besides, she was pretty sure that it was a bit too slow to make an army on her own, and she wanted some help.

If you want to get help, you need to go to the city, and you need money to move around the city......

The sparrow grabbed the silver beetle that the bird had given to him and thought for a while. In her opinion, the craftsmanship of this thing is really good, even the wings are carved, and she is a little skeptical that to give life to this beetle, it can really fly.

"Give it a try. ”

Without any expectations, the sparrow unleashed its abilities on the beetle. Regardless of the outcome, she decided to go into the city in a moment. The countryside is a good place to make large creatures, but there are so few resources that can be mobilized, and there is no place to sleep, so it is very troublesome to drink water. She wanted a bed and needed a more comfortable life.

Pinching the beetle, the sparrow exerted its strength......

The stork was detained by the people of the slum and locked up in a small house for a sleepless night.

The beautiful young man named Alfalfa came to see her once in the morning, saying that he would bring food at noon, and then the people left.

The house where the stork was held was only one room, all wooden, but it was quite neat and not too dilapidated. If it weren't for the restriction of her freedom in this situation, she thought she would have liked the environment.

She thought about and listened a lot that night. The soundproofing around the house wasn't very good, and she could hear the conversations of the people who were guarding her outside.

Last night, the two guards were very uneasy about the kidnapping and detention of the stork, fearing retribution, and had been discussing whether they would be punished. After all, the green stork shows the abilities that only the patron saint can have, and people have a certain relationship with the patron saint. Restricting her freedom is similar to restricting the freedom of a patronus.

The fear of God in the eastern country is much higher than that in the western country, and there have been cases of humans shooting guardian gods in the western country, although there have been cases in the eastern country, but the number is much smaller, and it is only a very rare exception.

Now the two guards had been replaced, and four younger males had arrived. They also kept chatting, and the content of their speech also drifted to the ears of the green stork. These people were less afraid of the gods and were discussing how to use the money that had been allotted.

From their mouths, the stork knew that the man named Alfalfa was the more prestigious of these people. Although he is young, he is very popular because he often gives the money he earns to the people who live in this slum.

The alfalfa seems to have gone to the buyer of the gold nuggets, which are a little too large to get rid of. It's not contraband, but if it's leaked. It's likely to get you in trouble.

The green stork knows very well that he is stupid to put the necklace around his neck, so that there will be such an unlucky thing today. As for the fate after that, she thought about it a little, the good and the bad.

If you're lucky, maybe these people will let themselves go after taking the gold nuggets. After all, he is a partner of God, and there are definitely many people like guards who don't want to be punished by God, and there is a great possibility that this situation will occur.

If you're unlucky. The stork thinks it should be able to survive as well. If the people here were all greedy guys, they would definitely be locked up here. Produce gold nuggets for them. Countless amounts of gold can be obtained without paying anything, which seems to be a very powerful temptation.

In both cases, the blue stork does not know which one is its fate.

It was noon, and Alfalfa came in with lunch. Lunch was plentiful and seemed to have been bought from a big restaurant. A beautiful plate is served with a silver plate containing four types of meat, which are roasted, fried, grilled, and boiled, as well as a basket of bread and a pot of drink.

"I'll put it here, and someone will move your bed over in a while, and the original broken plank bed will be torn down. If you have any needs, such as wanting to take a bath, you need to put up with it for the time being. Tomorrow, two days at the latest, we should be able to find a suitable maid. ”

With that said, Alfalfa left again. He seems to be busy and doesn't communicate much**. He came only to convey the most basic situation.

Big bed, maid and good food...... The blue stork has basically decided that it is going to be here permanently. She thinks that this kind of life is actually not bad, if she can live comfortably here, as long as she a little finger every day to make gold, freedom or something will not be so important......

Zhou Shu searched for a whole day, but he didn't find any clues that could allow him to find the remaining candidate gods.

All he knew was the faces of the little girls, the companions of God. Even the companion of the tiger girl he had seen before, such a small girl, Zhou Shu found her ordinary in the Book of Summoning. Still, it didn't help him find someone in the middle of a city like this.

"What to do?

Zhou Shu will be floating in the sky, enjoying the autumn sun, and under his ass is his own golden horse.

At this time, he is already much more high-profile than when he was looking for someone yesterday. Yesterday, he didn't dare to let the golden horse appear, but he just floated in the air by himself, used the flames to keep hovering, and then looked for people. And this aerial operation was only carried out for a short time, and it did not take long for it to fall to the ground.

The reason why he was so careful was because he feared that his actions would be discovered by other Patronus. However, the number of patron saints in this city has suddenly decreased a lot, I don't know why, anyway, less is less, and last night they suddenly disappeared a large part, and now there are less than ten people left.

Zhou Shu really couldn't understand what these people were doing, so he simply stopped hiding it and appeared in the sky generously. He bet someone had already seen his horse glowing in the air.

The sky is a nice place to be, it's secluded. The crowd below you is so dense that it is difficult to distinguish someone's face. At this time, Master Zhou has lost his patience to find people, and is in a daze in the sky, and his mobile phone is ringing here.

It was the sick princess who called, and it wasn't a big deal. It's just an ordinary greeting. Zhou Shu rarely turned on the camera once, but he was very willing to chat with his eldest lady.

The topic of conversation of the sick princess is always her own country, as a queen, she is not exposed to any interesting things now, she is no longer the princess who sits on the side of the road and drinks beer, and I am afraid that I will never go back.

These days. The sick princess called Zhou Shu a lot, but she couldn't get through. The sentence on the phone that expressed the other party's English and Russian bilingual was not turned on, and she was already able to recite it fluently.

Regarding the situation on her own side, the sick princess talked very modestly, and would not torture her man with her own tirade.

"What about you? How are you doing, when will you be able to come back?"

"Hanging. ”

Zhou Shu sighed and said that he was probably out of action this month. "But as long as this is done, I should be able to get out of here for a while. I don't need to do anything here, just let him develop on his own. ”

The 'this incident' referred to by Zhou Shu includes the assassination of the king of the East Country and the elimination of the patron saint of the East Country. As long as these two things are done, there will be peace here for a while. There should be no contradictions between the two countries for the time being. After all, the East Country is being held back by new troubles, and the West Country doesn't particularly want to fight.

In this way, the Sword Plain will have time to cultivate and develop, and then let the people of the two countries come into contact a little according to the original plan. This contact is necessary if the magician does not want to rule here by force.

"And when you come back?" said the sick princess, with a natural question, "what are you going to do? You have not brought you the credit that would have promoted you to the rank of queen and married me." ”

"The credit is not ......," Zhou Shu sighed. As a man, he didn't really want to get married. No matter how beautiful his wife is, a man does not want to be bound by marriage.

The sick princess was not in a hurry. "Well, then, my people are now more anxious about my marriage than I am. I hope you don't keep them waiting too long. ”

Zhou Shu blushed a little when he talked about this topic, and he didn't know how to pick it up.

He was going to go to the east after a while of laziness back home, and see if there was anything to do.

After all, Eurasia is connected, and it is slightly more reliable than the Americas. Although civilizations on the two continents had little contact, even less after the sea level dropped, it was still easier to communicate than in the Americas.

What the hell would be like in the country over there? Zhou Shu is eager to know. According to the research data that the Gray Witch and the Wizards took from the magicians, it is said that there is no civilization established by Asians in this world, and the East side is also inhabited by white people. In fact, Zhou Shu didn't think much about this question before, until he found out that Tiddlelem's ancestors were Asian.

He determined that the Asiatic race had been to the Americas more than a thousand years ago. As for where their nautical skills came from, it is not clear. And how their race is inexplicably gone, this is also a mystery.

The magician's investigation should not be wrong, they said that there should be no civilization inhabited by Asians, Zhou Shu went to the east to prepare to investigate the history there, although this is a secondary purpose, the main thing is naturally to have a little contact with the leader of the largest force there, and prepare for the control there. Even if you don't invade them, you can become a partner.

Regarding the fact that he was currently trapped in the Temple City, Zhou Shu also talked a little to the sick princess.

"The selection of the main god?" the sick princess stood in front of the window holding the phone, and it was dark outside her window. "It's easy for you to get caught up in this kind of thing. After listening to Zhou Shu's description, the sick princess smiled and said that Zhou Shu didn't need to be too active, just wait quietly for another day or two, and naturally there would be a place where he could deal with it.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Shu was puzzled.

"Are you so impatient now because you can't find a way to take the initiative to solve this incident?"

Zhou Shu nodded, "I don't like to be too passive, but this time I really don't know how to go under the knife." I regret that I killed that candidate god too soon, and I don't have any clues on my side. ”

"It's fine. The sick princess reassured the phone, "In a few days, the candidate gods and their companions will definitely make some eye-catching actions." The contradictions of those people are sharp and will soon erupt. (To be continued......)
