Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Gift
"Well, you can probably understand that I came from an isolated place, and I hardly understand anything here." He Shan pondered the vocabulary.
Thanks to the wizarding civilization, these places with the footprints of the wizarding civilization have at least completed the unification of language and writing, so that he does not have to learn an unfamiliar language again.
"How is this possible! You" Lily's emotions were unexpectedly excited, but she stopped in the middle of speaking, was silent for a while, and said: "I am a wizard, according to the rating standard of wizard civilization, I should belong to the first-level official wizard, but it is a pity that there are only some tricks in the inheritance I have obtained, and there is no formal witchcraft." ”
She said a lot more than He Shan imagined, and she was much more honest.
"Six thousand seven hundred years ago, on the day of the advent of the gods, the wizard civilization was destroyed, and all life was divided into countless kingdoms, ruled by different gods, the unbelievers were ostracized, the gods called the wizards the destroyers of the world, and the wizards were hunted down by many devout believers, and almost everyone shouted and beaten."
"In the barren plains and some areas without the protection of the gods, the monsters are extremely aggressive, and humans cannot survive at all."
"Not even wizards, endless monsters can even overwhelm legendary wizards."
"To this day, the wizards are almost extinct, and the 6,700 years of rule of the gods are unparalleled."
"This is our world." Lily let out a slow breath, her emotions completely calming down.
"It's a boring world." He Shan could fully imagine why Lily was so proficient in messing around between realms, as a first-level official wizard, her lifespan should be much greater than her appearance, I'm afraid it's been a long time since she wandered.
At this time, the smell of burnt paste came, interrupting the emotions and thoughts of the three of them, and the unbelievers, wizards, and strangers hurriedly divided the barbecue, and then Lily released a few tricks to clear the ground, dried the weeds into straw mats, and took turns keeping vigil, resting peacefully for the night.
Early the next morning, David, as the last vigiler, saw He Shan wake up, so he volunteered to go out to explore, and after a while, Lily came back in a half-asleep state with a large bundle of fruit similar to a radish.
This thing tears open the skin, and the taste inside is somewhat similar to the ginseng fruit of the earth, but the juice is much sweeter, and it is not bad for breakfast in the wilderness.
After breakfast, the three of them continued on their way, Lily should have been here, everything was so familiar.
"Well, I'm kind of missing the stew." Lily yawned and talked about homely things, and it seemed that she still hadn't rested well.
"Ah~" David shouted, frightened a few birds nearby and flew away, although he was an orphan, but he still had some feelings for his hometown, and he ran to a foreign country for some reason, and he was still a little nervous.
He Shan chatted with them from time to time, and most of the time he could enjoy the scenery.
It's a pity that one of them is too nervous, the other is too familiar, and they are both indifferent to the beautiful grassland scenery.
By noon, they had crossed the prairie and arrived at a small town, and He Shan finally knew why outsiders were not welcome here.
"This is what all humans in the Land of Water are like?" David couldn't help but ask.
The people on the streets of the town are all blue-haired, blue-eyed, with moist skin, and dressed in strands, the men only have a crotch cloth, and the women are all three-point, with shells, cloth, metal, and all sorts of things.
David, a man in pitch black and leather armor, couldn't be more unusual, and Lily was even more conservative than David.
On the contrary, except for his hair, eyes, and skin, He Shan is dressed quite like the people here.
"That's right, the god of the land of water is the goddess of Mizusawa, and it is summer all year round, and the hair and eyes of the believers who believe in the goddess of Mizusawa will turn blue, and the skin will be moisturized, just because"
Lily was interrupted in the middle of her sentence by another lazy female voice, "Because of the gift of the goddess Mizusawa, we women here are the leaders. ”
**The beautiful woman with a hot body swayed her water snake waist and leaned out of her upper body from the second floor of a house next to her, looked at the three of them, raised her light blue eyebrows, and said, "Long time no see, Lily, did you bring two male friends this time?" ”
She deliberately turned up the volume of her male friend, and it sounded like something peculiar.
Lily's face was even worse, she hadn't had a good face since she entered the town, and after seeing this beautiful woman, her face was as black as the bottom of a pot, "Laura, are you trying to provoke me?" ”
David's face was flushed, his eyes were evasive, and to be honest, he was still a virgin.
He Shan's eyes were clear, and he didn't take care of the key parts of Laura, but looked at the blue magic floating on her body, and felt a little strange.
"Have fun, it's the annual Water Festival in a week, and I, as the priest of the goddess Mizusawa, welcome you." Laura didn't pay any attention to Lily's words, and threw a wink to He Shan and David to herself, and then withdrew her upper body and never heard from her again.
"What are you looking at?" Lily slapped David on the back of the head, and the boy's soul was about to be snatched away.
"What's the difference between a priest and a wizard?" He Shan suddenly asked.
Lily was stunned for a moment, her face gradually sank, and she replied in a low voice, "The wizards are using primordial, pure magic, while the priests are using the magic of the gods. ”
"A god, a wizard too?" He Shan continued to ask.
"Nope." Lily blurted out, then scratched at her sticky hair in some distress, "I don't know what that means. ”
"It's just that the wizard's diary I once got a sentence in a very secret way was: gods are not wizards."
"It took me at least twenty years to unravel the spell on it, and I ended up with something like this that didn't work at all."
"But that Wizard of Nickles was once a second-level wizard, and even a student of a legendary wizard, so he probably wouldn't joke with the person who picked up his diary in this way."
He Shan nodded, signaling that he understood.
"Come with me, I know there's a place to stay." Lily sighed again, she didn't know how many times she had sighed in the past two days, she was used to the strange eyes of the residents of the Water Country around her, He Shan had an iron will, but David was about to shrink into a quail.
The three of them defied all the eyes and came to a shop, as usual, there was still no name, and a pair of charming eyes were painted on the flag at the door, and Lily reached out and pushed the door open.
"Welcome, everyone" The middle-aged man sitting behind the counter stopped abruptly after seeing Lily, with a series of complex emotions intertwined with embarrassment, surprise, etc., and then swallowed his saliva and said with a reluctant smile: "Lily, why are you here?" ”
