Chapter 405: It's weird, take another look
There was a woman with a tail with pointy ears in the city, and she was always followed by a giant cat attendant.
Sidar liked her handsomely cut leather armor and her amber eyes.
Everyone said that the woman was the king's guest, and that she must have come from another worldβmost likely from the main world, where the noble messenger of the gods was located.
Many people are guessing whether she is an apostle, a prophet, or a hero.
"It must be an apostle, don't you see that Lord Appia is very polite to her? Only the apostles had this treatment. β
"No, no, I don't feel the oppression of the apostles, but the big cat is even more terrifying...... She's more of a prophet, right? She walks around every day, probably thinking about spreading the faith. β
"What's her name? What should you call if you encounter it? β
"Who knows? Whatever it is, it's definitely a big shot anyway. β
The big man came to this small kingdom and didn't have much impact on the commoners. They are high up, and they will not have any intersection with the bottom of the daily labor.
Fourteen-year-old Sidal thinks so, too.
He was a herdsman with ten cows. The cattle were sometimes used to plough the land, and more often they were taken by Sidar in search of water and forage to feed their bellies and give birth to more calves.
γ
On this day, Sidar wore his favorite wide-brimmed cowhide hat and rode his bony horse with long legs as usual, and patrolled around the herd.
He carried a long bone whip, a crude wooden shield, and a bone mallet tied to his horseβas a bone herder, he had to keep the cattle fed and protect the livestock.
Suddenly, Sidal noticed a strange flower growing on the ground.
The flower is a combination of crab shells, red and white, with a beauty of weirdness and death.
It's weird.
Take another look.
He noticed that there was a white bone palm under the flower.
Sidar dug through the gravel and soil underneath and unearthed a small arm. I don't know which white bone ancestor still clung to this flower before he died. It can be seen that the deceased liked this flower very much.
Well, I'll keep it for you.
Sidar pulled out his arm along with the flower and put it in a sack on his horse's back.
When he came back to his senses, he sensed something abnormal.
The cattle huddled together, a sign that they had spotted danger, and it became extremely quiet except for the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops.
Sidar drew his mallet and rested his shield on his arm, preoccupied with the distance.
Soon the enemy appeared.
There was a pack of gray wolves, thirteen in number.
Wrong.
The eye sockets of the black hole of Sidar looked to the east, and there were twenty heads.
He looked to the west again.
No, it's thirty-three.
The wolves rushed towards the herdsman Sidar with a clear goal, not giving him any chance to escape.
Sidar pulled out the bone whistle and went to the aid of the other herders who were nearest herders.
But it's not just stuck or cracked, the bone whistle can't make a sound at all today.
Despite Sidal's efforts to gather the herd, the panic caused by the gray wolf onslaught caused the cattle to flee in all directions, and once the herd dispersed, the domestic animals became prey to be chased.
Sidar carried the bone horse on his shoulder, wielded the bone whip vigorously, and whipped a gray wolf to the ground and rolled and howled in pain. The wolves began to pounce on the buttocks of the bony horses, but the seemingly craggy bony horses raised their hooves and kicked them, causing the wolves to whimper and limp into the distance.
The herders have their own ways of dealing with wild beasts.
Sidar specially created a special pair of hooves for the legs of the bone horse, which were specially used for grazing, and the hooves had sharpened bone cones and bone spurs. As long as the long legs kick the legs or raise the hooves, whether it is a wolf or a bear, they will be left with holes in the eyes if they are kicked.
Relying on the whip in his hand and the hooves of the bone horse, Sidhart struggled to drive away and deter the gray wolves.
However, when the head wolf appeared, Sidar felt a chill in his heart.
It was a large man of much larger size, covered in blood scabs that looked like they had been burned by flames.
After the first wolf entered the battle, the wolves suddenly acted more orderly, and the injured ones automatically retreated, and the wolves behind made up for it, firmly surrounding Sidal.
This is not an ordinary beast, but an extraordinary monster [Electric Wolf], which can bring electrocution-like paralysis and pain through touching and biting, and if it bites, it will be turned into black charcoal.
The electric wolf knocked the bone horse down in one fell swoop, and Sidal rolled on the ground twice in embarrassment, and when he got up, the bone horse had been broken and could no longer stand up.
The wolf's grim eyes were fixed on Dahl, and he paced towards him as a victor.
Sidar pressed the brim of his hat with his hand, lifted his shield with the other, picked up the bone mallet on the ground, and walked towards the head wolf step by step.
The other wolves around were silently watching.
Unlucky.
Today, it is estimated that even cattle and people will have to be broken into bones.
Sidar didn't have much fear in his heart, death was a part of the daily life of this country, every day people he knew disappeared, and new people joined, and the ancestors of the white bones lived in this cycle of death and life.
He had more regret in his heart.
It's a shame that I didn't bring such a strange flower back to everyone to see.
Sidar lowered his weight and rushed hard, the mallet in his hand hitting the monster's strong back, and the wolf king's bloody mouth shattered the shield in one bite.
At that moment, Sidar felt like every bone in his body was flashing blue, and his mind became stiff and muddy.
He thought for no reason, this looks quite handsome.
The left arm holding the shield was completely crushed by the electric wolf, and its upper and lower jaws full of canine teeth bit down hard at Sidal's skull.
Sidal's last resistance was to break his finger bone and plunge it into the head wolf's stomach - but only a little, which was a courtesy.
At that moment, the wolf was suddenly grabbed by something, and Sidar was brought back to his senses from the trance of death.
Pulling the wolf by the neck was a large pink cat, larger than the largest brown bear, with a large mouth that grinned to the sides of its cheeks under its round eyes.
It bared its teeth and grinned, as if it had caught not a ferocious electric wolf, but a small mouse. The electric wolf trembled in its hands, its neck shrunched, its tail clamped, and it didn't dare to resist at all.
The big cat is asking for credit to a person next to him.
The man had feline-like pointed ears on his head, leather armor, and a soft, flexible plush tail on his back.
It's the enigmatic apostle, and her cat.
What she said to the big cat, Sidar couldn't understand it.
Then, the big cat pinched the electric wolf's face, and the electric wolf desperately squeezed out a smile.
It casually dropped the electric wolf, but the head wolf crouched on the ground motionless, for fear of angering the irresistible giant. Finally getting permission, it fled with the wolves.
Catwoman walked up to Sidal, opened a small bottle, and suddenly a surging aroma lingered around her.
"It's good to bring a sobering mint, otherwise the conversation is also a problem, and the local language is more complicated than you think......"
She muttered to herself, crouched down and looked at Sidar, "Can you still move?" β
"Yes."
Sidar didn't know why he could understand the other party's words, and he still didn't come back to his senses: "Thank you...... Saved me. β
"Passing by, I raised my hand. Goodbye then. She got up and was about to leave.
"The ......"
Sidar cautiously asked, "Can you tell me your first name?" β
"My name is Maocao, and I am a prophet under the command of Lord Yaoshen."
"Yaoshen...... Which god is it? β
It was the first time Sidal had heard the name.
The other party said patiently: "Lord Yao Shen is not a god of this world, but Yao God has a cooperative relationship with Lord [Messenger of the Gods], the title god here, so I was sent to live in this world temporarily and do some field investigations. β
Sidar didn't seem to understand.
One thing he was sure of was that this cat grass was indeed noble, and the status of the Yao God behind him was mostly on par with the [Messenger of the Gods].
"Please wait for me."
Sidar stood up with one hand on the ground. He put on his broad-brimmed fur hat and staggered over to the shattered bone horse, took something out of his bag, and carefully presented it to the catgrass with both hands.
"A small gift that is not a respect, please accept it."
When the other party saw the flower put together by the crab shell, his face showed a little surprise, and then smiled: "Thank you, this is really a very special flower." β
Catgrass took the crab shell flower with white bones, and then she easily jumped on the back of the big cat, which flew into the sky and burrowed into the clouds.
β¦β¦
From then on, Sidar began to pay attention to the alien prophet of Catgrass.
She lived in a separate stone house outside the temple, which had no roof, only four walls, and a statue of the god Yao standing in the center.
Every day the cat grass prays reverently in front of the idol before riding away on Totoro and starting to look down on the whole world from the air.
Out of curiosity, Sidar went in to pay homage to the statue of the mysterious god. Since there were no guards on either side of the rudimentary temple, access was not restricted.
Kneeling in front of the statue, Sidar also imitated the catgrass and said, "O great god Yao, please bless me with peace and prosperity......
Here, even the most humble people can look up to the gods. Replaced with a Kingdom Temple, only with the permission of His Majesty the King, there is an opportunity to pray in front of the statue.
Siddal also saw a small flower garden blooming in the corner of the temple, and the mint arched over the crab shell flower in the middle.
This made him feel a little indescribable.
Happy? Excited? Or excited?
Probably a little bit.
The prophets of the kingdom are high above and hardly speak to the common people, and as wise men recognized by the gods, they serve only the oracles, and it is their duty to praise the gods.
Maocao, the prophet of Yaoshen, will not only save people, but also listen to the various voices of the ancestors of the white bones.
She flew around every day, asking farmers, herders, fishermen and workers about their work and difficulties, and giving them help...... This is something that has never happened in the Kingdom in the past.
She said to everyone: "Lord Yaoshen also hopes that the civilization of the sleepless can develop very well, if you have any difficulties, or good advice, you can come to me." β
No one takes it seriously.
The master of the kingdom is the king, and above the kingship is the martyr god who rules the world, and behind the martyrdom is the powerful messenger of the gods...... No matter how powerful this Yao God is, he will not come to this world.
Most of the White Bone Ancestors are not very smart and flexible, this is the nature of the race, but it does not mean that the White Bone Ancestors are all stupid, and everyone does not want to be liquidated by His Majesty the King afterwards.
One day, when Sidar was scarred by the expropriators, he came to the temple of the god Yao and said to the catweed, "Prophet, can you really help us?" β
Cat Cao's ears moved: "You say come and listen." β
"We herders are desperately trying to graze our cattle and sheep so that they can grow faster and more, but the collectors always beat us up and think we are lazy. The cattle and sheep were attacked by wolves, bears and leopards in the wild, and many of our herders were injured and killed, but the levy officer refused to send soldiers to help us. What can we do? β
Maocao nodded: "What do you think should be done with this problem?" β
"Many herders believe that more skeleton dogs should be raised, which can scare off wild animals and also give warnings. We have asked in the past, but the Kingdom considers it a waste of corpses......"
"Understood, I need to investigate and verify."
About a month later, the kingdom issued a new rule: every herder would be given a skeleton dog to help herd herd.
Sidar couldn't believe it.
The Catgrass Prophet really went to speak for everyone, and His Majesty the King really listened!
Since then, Sidar has been frequented by the temple of Yao, and many herdsmen, under his guidance, have often gone to pray to the Prophet of Catgrass, ask for answers and ask for help.
For everyone's difficulties, the cat grass listens carefully and records them on a parchment roll. She will carry out a detailed and comprehensive investigation, and actively work on the parts that are true and can be solved.
Gradually, more and more white bone ancestors began to pray to the god Yao, and on the basis of their original beliefs, they also believed in the mysterious and benevolent god Yao.
Then one day the apostle Appiadu came to the temple and said to the catgrass, "The prophet of the catgrass...... Those civilians are always going to have all kinds of trouble, so don't go and get busy. The king is already working hard to govern the country, so don't add any more unnecessary burdens to him...... As long as the population is growing, isn't it? β
Sidar was outside the wall, piling up the temple wall, and he could hear it clearly.
Catgrass said, "I can't agree with it. The living conditions of civilians will have a direct bearing on the process of civilization as a whole, and they are the cornerstone and weather vane of civilization. As long as there is room for improvement, I will continue to advise and advise. β
"Alas...... Why should you be so serious? β
There was a bit of helplessness in Appia's voice: "It's just a group of white bone ancestors, they are just moving wood and hay, and it's too hard to pay attention to it like this." β
"It's not hard to carry out the oracle of Lord Yaoshen."
Maocao said resolutely: "Even ordinary people who are only engaged in simple labor can accomplish great things, this is the experience and guidelines of our Yao people." β
"In our Yao clan, there have also been god-killers comparable to gods from ordinary people. Among the common people of this country, future prophets and heroes will also be born. β
"Oh, I mean, this is the Sleepless civilization, just a rudimentary civilization composed of white bone ancestors...... It can't be compared with your Yao clan, Lord Yao Shen is the noble main god, and it can't be compared. As long as the civilians here are alive, they are good. Appias sighed.
Outside the wall, Sidar listened in a daze, his white fingers gently pinching the clay.
Is it really possible for such a lowly existence as a commoner to be comparable to a god?
Those Yao people who live under the protection of the god Yao don't know what kind of life they live.
He wanted to see their kingdom and city with his own eyes.
