Chapter 10 Lingjiu: When it rains, it will be summer
It rained, and at first it was just dripping, and it didn't take long for it to start to be pompous.
The door of the Dream Division opened softly, and in front of the steps, mottled moss marks climbed silently.
Summer is about to begin, and this successive rains may be a sign.
"Huh......" a wisp of green smoke, slowly supported from the red hot and humid cigarette butt, just like a low-altitude bird, but on the way to the first flight, it was washed away by this raindrop.
"This rain can at least make it a little cooler here." Martin yawned comfortably, crouching in the doorway and smoking a cigarette, while Sheldon stood silently beside him, looking at the crowd of people hurrying down the streets outside the Duty Division.
"If there weren't so many things to do, maybe I could be a little more relaxed, now is a good time to eat cucumbers." Marshall's lips curled slightly, and finally he sighed helplessly in response to his colleague, Martin.
"Now I don't dare to sell anything on the street, there are only a few shops, and they are amazingly expensive......" Martin took a suffocate of the cigarette he was holding in his hand, and then slowly exhaled it.
Smack!
Unfortunately, a huge drop of rain slammed into Martin's cigarette butt, which was still carrying Mars.
"Damn...... God is not beautiful, and it prevents me from smoking! Martin sat down tiredly and turned to his boss and smiled helplessly.
This guy on the other side was introduced by me! Well, that's right!
"Smoking less is good for your health. Besides, this rain is not the rain of magic that fell from the World Tree, it will rain when it falls. β
"I wasn't badly damaged by this damn rain last time...... Martin smiled wryly, "and to be honest, that's basically a lot of work we've had for years." β
"No wonder the research office of the Dream Division is so idle, and the data can be copied from heaven to earth." Sheldon laughed, "Really, sometimes I want to quit those stupid pigs one by one." β
"Oh, it's worth the Dream Division...... Right. Martin waved his hand, "And it's thriving now." By the way, your son has grown up a lot lately. β
"yes, maybe it's a long body."
"But it's a little too fast...... Martin watched as he saw the little creature grow to the height of his own ankles.
"My family has a special physique, so I have a lot of tolerance."
"It's weird." Martin didn't ask much, anyway, he had heard rumors in the neighborhood, and it was not for nothing that children grew up in one day.
"Just let him grow up on his own, it's not a bad thing anyway, I'll still take him to dip in two years."
"Surely there are more than three magic patterns, I think." Martin secretly blessed this cute child in his heart, "So well-behaved and obedient, I can't even teach him some special 'little knowledge', hehe." β
"I don't need you to teach me, okay?" Sheldon scolded with a smile, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, there is still something to do, it seems that the things in the orc apartment have not been completed, you take the child for me." β
"Yes, sir!" Martin put on a slewd smile pompously, "I'm definitely going to teach your kids better!" β
"Teach a perfect little pervert?" Sheldon had imagined Martin with little Martin looking around.
"Haha, hahaha......" Martin scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
"Okay, okay, I don't ask you to teach him anything, just serve him well."
"yes, I see."
"Thanks, I'll apply for a salary increase for you later."
"Thank you, boss, it's rare to have free time, and I can finally rest for a while."
In fact, Sheldon's mind lately has been on his mind all about Merlinism and the original church.
Regarding the Merlin Sect, he actually had an indescribable sense of alienation, and his heart began to feel uneasy when he knew that he was going to finally turn it over to Merlin. Maybe it's feelings, such a good child.
And where the original church is...... What the hell are they doing? How is it like disappearing?
The church near the Land of Dusk is gone, and there is no letterhead in Orc Apartment No. 1......
Sheldon was dealing with the task at hand, but his mind became more and more distracted.
......
Orc Special Zone, Shura.
It was raining today, but it was not heavy, and in order to prevent their fur from getting wet, the orcs opened their prepared umbrellas one after another, and colorful flowers bloomed under the rain.
"Hmph, damn human!" An obese pig orc is confronting a merchant, "This, something that looks fresh, how much does it cost!" β
He was holding four silver coins in his hand, and there was a pocket pinned to him, which seemed to have something in it.
"Three, three copper coins. Three copper coins of cabbage! β
"Then why did you sell a silver coin before, and what is your name...... The quality of the cabbage is not good! The pig man grabbed the cabbage vendor's collar and almost lifted it.
"No...... No! The quality is very good, very good, just sell a silver coin, a silver coin! The cabbage vendor struggled to respond, and kept talking about how fresh his cabbage was.
"Humph! Don't lie to me, we orcs are smart! The pig orc, who had paid a silver coin, took the cabbage he deserved, smiled haughtily, and flicked his tail away under the wordless gaze of the merchant.
A bunch of idiots.
The first traders to dig gold always make the most money, and in this land where everything is new, vast expanses of ancient goods change hands, and ore bones with runic magic continue to circulate from Rubis to Jargaia.
Overall, this is a win-win situation, but the Luling people make more money...... A little.
Well, just a little bit.
The worrying thing, though, is that these orcs seem surprisingly stupid, most of them are at the same level as an eight- or nine-year-old child - not that they are not highly intelligent, but that they are too easily deceived, easily immersed in their own oceans, and give money as they please, and in general, much more like this......
Over time, the architecture of the buildings in the Orc District has been largely laid out, and various simple government departments have taken root here.
It's just that here, most of the solutions to problems rely not on brains, but on their own muscles, and more on their own coaxing ability.
In the western part of Shura, where a church is located, the gray marble walls and the fine, hard stone pillars are mottled with the stars carved into them.
A small bouquet, a small bouquet of roses sparsely landed in front of the church door and bloomed, exuding a rich fragrance.
There are still a lot of orcs here, and of course they will come here to see what is going on if they are curious.
However, they found that there was no one here, empty pulpits, empty seats, empty rooms.
Everything was empty, as if it were a wasted place with no one to use.
Soon, the disinterested orcs left the rooms, walked down the empty walkway, and exited the halls of the church.
The raindrops were dappled, perhaps without an umbrella, and a rabbit-orc-man with a depressed face ran into the interior of the church in a panic to take shelter from the rain.
"Whew...... Huh...... "This rabbit orc doesn't seem to be in a good mood, it must have been caught in the rain."
It's empty anyway, so it's no big deal to come in and take shelter from the rainβ
"-Hello."
How, how, how!
The rabbit orc turned back in a panic, only to see an old man in a white chanting robe walking towards him step by step!
"You, who are you? I haven't seen you in this building before! "The rabbit orcs are especially vigilant.
"I'm the bishop of this church, and I'm sure you're not in the mood to know my name." The old man smiled, and the rabbit orc saw that he was holding a gray-white Pope in his hand.
"Why didn't you come here before......" The rabbit orc looked around and saw that the dust had been swept away.
"It takes some time to prepare." The man smiled lightly and spread out the book in his hand, "Since you are sheltered from the rain here, please take a few minutes to let you understand our teachings." β
"Weird ......," the rabbit orc muttered in a low voice, always feeling that the other party was a character like a god stick.
The man smiled slightly, parted his lips, and spat out syllables: "We are the primordial church, and we achieve the deepest unity of all things by dissociating everything and reconstructing everything, which is the guidance of Diddamour to us......
"Dissociation ......," the rabbit orc repeated softly.
"As long as we reach the extreme of dissociation, I believe that the difference between us and you should no longer exist." The old man smiled kindly.
"Of course, we now have a certain level of eyebrows, for example, you can switch freely between human and orc forms by chanting the demon, don't worry, you won't be seen at all."
"This ......," the rabbit orc was speechless in shock.
"Because after the transformation, the original structure of life has been reset. Of course, the price of the magic breath is a part of the life force, and as long as it is not overused, it can be repeated in a controlled manner. β
"Really, is that okay?" If this can be done, then the range of movement of the orcs can be infinitely expanded from the small area of Shura.
"Haha, that's for sure. After all, this is the gift of Didama, the great power of the Hand of Liberation. β
Outside the church door, the rain was still falling in bits and pieces, a sign of summer.
In fact, the line between late spring and early summer is blurred.
In the Land of Desire, this boundary is silently erased.
Under this dense drizzle, a convoy was slowly approaching the east-west dividing line of the land, the Tata River.
Compared to the small and narrow carriages, this wide and rushing river seems to be all-encompassing, and all kinds of villages and buildings are built around the banks of the Tata River, clinging to it and cherishing its abundance.
This is also the dividing line between mildness and roughness.
Dozens of kilometers away, Shadi, but the rain did not fall, and it looked at the roaring Tata River, as if it could get a little rain at its tentacles, but it did not succeed.
