Chapter 91: The Agent of Time
Just when Lin Qiye and the others were pinching their noses and eating raw meat, a fragrance suddenly appeared in the cafeteria, and everyone was in good spirits and turned their heads to look at it.
I saw Sun Lao dragging a large tray with stacks of dishes on it, and quickly walked in front of the masquerade team.
"Braised pork, chicken stewed with mushrooms, ants on the tree, steamed sea bass...... Hiss! Is it so great?! Uzumaki swallowed when he saw the plate full of delicacies, and his eyes lit up.
"Hehe, the little cubs come back once, of course I have to make something good for you." Old Sun's calloused hands rubbed against his apron and grinned.
"Thank you, Mr. Sun."
"Thank you, Mr. Sun!"
Several other members thanked each other, and then picked up their chopsticks and feasted on them with laughter and laughter.
Gollum——!
In the quiet hall, the sound of swallowing saliva sounded one after another, and even the recruits who had barely eaten the white flour steamed buns just now smelled the taste, and instantly couldn't eat it anymore.
More than two hundred pairs of hungry ghost-like eyes stared directly at the large round table with a mask, as if they were about to rush up to grab food in the next moment.
Wang Mian glanced at them, and silently placed the mandarin duck on his waist on the table......
Then he buried his head and continued to eat.
"I'm not convinced! Why can they eat fragrant and drink spicy food, we can only nibble on steamed buns and eat raw meat! One recruit couldn't help but complain.
"Hmph." Old Sun's face fell, and he replied angrily, "When you little cubs walk out of this camp and come back in the future, I will also cook such a big dish for you!" "
At this moment, Wang Mian seemed to remember something and beckoned to Lin Qiye.
"Seven nights, let's have some food together."
Hmmm——!!
All the recruits turned their heads sharply and stared at Lin Qiye, who was gnawing on raw meat.
Lin Qiye raised his eyebrows, hesitated for a moment, and then walked to the round table of the masked team with his basin and sat down.
"Come on, come on, eat some chicken." Wang Mian took a clean small bowl and began to pick up vegetables for Lin Qiye,
"Whirlpool, bring a few pieces of fish meat over there to Qiye."
"Okay."
"The broth is also some, it's quite fresh."
"I'll go get him a pair of chopsticks."
"Where's the rice? Is there enough to eat? Not enough for me to have it here. Rose stood up and served Lin Qiye dinner.
The masquerade team's attitude towards Lin Qiye was very polite, so polite that Lin Qiye was a little embarrassed, and waved his hand again and again:
"No, no, you can eat, I'm just here to ask some questions, I'll eat this."
The moon ghost was stunned for a moment, "You don't eat good dishes, and you still eat raw meat?" "
"Hmm."
"Hey...... You see that the eyes of the comrades behind you are green, don't you really want to do it? "
"I'm a recruit, and I eat what recruits should eat." Lin Qiye shook his head decisively.
Seeing that Lin Qiye said this, everyone in the masquerade team had no choice but to sit down, Wang Mian looked at Lin Qiye approvingly, and said:
"You're asking a question about the surrogate?"
"Yes."
"Just ask, I'll tell you as long as I know."
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, "What is the relationship between agents and gods?" "
"Your question is very profound...... Wang Mian thought for a long time before he slowly spoke, "In essence, the relationship between an agent and God is actually two words, 'contract'. "
"Contract?"
"For some reason, God generally does not appear directly in human society, if they want to do something, they must find a suitable person to help him do it, at this time, man and God will form a mysterious contract.
The essence of the contract is actually exchange, where God gives part of his divine power to an agent, and in exchange, the agent needs to help God accomplish something.
Of course, not everyone can be an agent, only God Himself approves of you, you are qualified to become an agent, so as to complete the contract. "
"Contract ......" Lin Qiye muttered these two words, his eyebrows full of doubts.
If he signed a contract, it didn't make sense that he didn't know anything, the Seraphic gave him some of his divine power, but he didn't mention what he had to do......
Compared to a contract, Lin Qiye felt that this was more like a gift.
"And what are you going to do for the god of time?" Lin Qiye looked at Wang Mian, and then realized that the question he asked was a bit rude, and added, "If you can't say it, just don't ask me." "
"There's nothing you can't say." Wang Mian shook his head, "About eight or nine years ago, when I was still an ordinary person, I was walking on the road in a daze, and there was a drunk truck rushing towards me next to me.
I didn't have time to react, and just as I was about to be knocked off, the surrounding time was suddenly suspended.
Later, the god of time came out of nothingness and signed a contract with me to give me his divine ruins, and in exchange, I had to enter Takamagahara, and help him take out an object from it. "
"Takamagahara?" Lin Qiye was stunned for a moment, "The hometown of the gods in Japanese mythology? "
"That's right."
"Does it really exist?"
"The god of time says that there exists, then there must be, but ...... So far I haven't found it. Wang Mian sighed helplessly.
Lin Qiye nodded, "Then you joined the night watch, is it your own choice?" "
"Yes, actually, before I joined the Night's Watch, the evil agents of the Church of the Old Gods approached me and asked me to join them." Wang Mian said calmly, "But I refused. "
Lin Qiye thought thoughtfully, "Because this goal given to you by the God of Time has nothing to do with which camp you belong to, so they think they can pull you into the gang?" "
"That's right, even some people in the Church of the Old Gods have found clues about Takamagahara, but I really don't want to be with them, so I finally refused."
"And then they just gave up?"
"It's not that simple, the people of the Old God Church are a bunch of crazy people, if they can't pull you in, they will try to kill you.
When I first joined the Night's Watch, I was ambushed by them three or four times, and if it weren't for my fate, I don't think I would have survived now. Wang Mian shrugged, "But now, they don't dare to come to me." "
"Why?"
"Because they may not have beaten me, and ......" Wang Mian's gaze fell on the other players at the table, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I have a group of very reliable teammates, whether it is a heads-up or a group fight, they dare not touch me." "
"Ahem, captain...... When eating, it's best not to be sensational suddenly, it's easy to be disgusting......" Uzumaki's expression was a little strange.
"But I'm telling the truth."
"Even if that's the case, you can wait until no one is around, and say it now...... How embarrassing! Rose glared at Wang Mian angrily.
"Hmm...... I'll pay attention next time. "
Lin Qiye sat there in a daze, looking at the seven people in front of him laughing and scolding, and after a long time, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth......
