After Dora's words made Xia hear, she couldn't help shivering.
Afterwards, descendants
God's... offspring
Xia Ya stared at the monster's corpse with round eyes and swallowed hard.
"I know what you're thinking, kid." Dora said casually: "First of all you have to figure out that the thing created by the goblin can't be called a god at all. It's just a powerful creature that was created. So you don't have to feel any guilt for killing this guy."
"I'm guilty." Xia Ya grinned, her expression like a toothache: "Even if it's a real god, if I want to kill Lao Tzu, I will stab him with a knife! Not to mention kill such a thing. I mean Yes... what you're saying is outrageous."
"It's not outrageous at all." Dora's tone finally became serious again: "You have to understand that any gods, the shaping of a sense of holiness is very important. The reason why gods are higher than ordinary creatures is because they have these sacred feelings."
"I understand that." Xia Ya said carelessly: "Gods don't need to eat, because they don't need to eat, so they don't need to poop and pee... This is very important. If everyone thinks that gods also poop and pee, it's a holy fart! As for Breeding offspring, haha! Can you imagine the scene where your dragon god is having sex with a certain female dragon? If you think of such a scene, I am afraid that everyone will not feel much awe of these so-called gods. already."
"Warning, boy, you are not allowed to blaspheme the Dragon God in any words." Dora protested angrily.
Dora seemed to be angry for a while, and after a while, she continued: "You are misinterpreting what I mean, what I mean is... Almost all gods are gender-neutral. For example, elf gods, dragons Gods...the myths of our beliefs, the descriptions of the gods, do not say whether they are male or female, that is to say, there is no so-called 'sex' of gods!"
Xia Ya was silent for a while before saying: "What you said... It seems like this, but in human belief, there is a distinction between male gods and goddesses."
"That's just a symbol. God is God, and God can be incarnated in any form. The so-called male or female is just what you humans imagine, or a symbol is attached to it. In fact... it's like The same thing you said to me before: no one has actually seen them."
Xia Ya smiled: "Oh my God, it's really not easy for you to say such a thing. Could it be because of my previous words that your faith has been shaken?"
"Of course not." Dora said solemnly, "I still believe in the Dragon God and its greatness, but... Maybe in some respects, my understanding has improved a little because of your words."
Xia poked the corpse of the human-shaped scorpion with a tree stick again: "How do you think this thing was 'bred'? Could it be that the god made by the goblin mates with the scorpion? Or it was originally a scorpion, but Did you mate with someone?"
"Hmph... A fool is a fool." Dora said disdainfully, "Do you have to mate to reproduce? Remember that sentence - life always finds a way out."
"...Maybe, the thing created by the goblins was originally a human-shaped scorpion, but it was much stronger than the thing we encountered." Xia coughed: "Where do you think that thing is? We killed it. One of its descendants, will that thing seek revenge on us?"
"Ha! Your statement is based on the assumption that the thing is still alive." Dora sneered: "Do you think that thing can live for 10,000 years?"
"Maybe." Xia Ya smiled maliciously: "It's a god, a god made by ancient goblins."
Just as Xi Ya was standing beside the corpse of the human-shaped scorpion and arguing with Dora, the poor Dodo Luo had already completed a difficult task: it used a tree vine to put itself at the bottom of the mountain stream and searched among the bones. When he arrived at Xia Ya's fire fork, he picked it up from the bottom of the mountain stream.
Dotolo searched carefully among the bones. The poor magician felt that his calf was twitching, surrounded by goblin bones. The magician had to recite the name of the god in his heart, while praying and cheering for himself.
The goblin bones in the mountain stream had been messed up in the previous search by everyone, and it took Duoduo more than half an hour to finally find Xia Ya's fire fork.
Obviously, when the fire fork fell, it was inserted into the body of a group of bones. It was a goblin skeleton that fell to the ground. When the fire fork fell, it was directly stuck on the back of the bones. Like a flagpole.
While praying, Dotolo walked over, carefully held the fire fork, and pulled out the fire fork with great effort. Unfortunately, Xiaya’s fire fork was too heavy. The poor magician used his strength to suckle and struggle. After a while, he heard a "bang". He grabbed the flaming fork and fell back. When he fell to the ground, Dodoro's head hit a stone, and suddenly gold stars appeared in his eyes, and he screamed in pain for a long time. , struggled to sit up.
Seeing the fire fork in his hand, Dodoro almost screamed again.
The sharp fire fork cut off the skeleton when it was pulled out, and the fire fork actually picked up the skull of the skeleton! Looking at the goblin's skull tied to the fire fork, Dotolo felt that his hand was a little weak, and hurriedly shook the fire fork vigorously before throwing the skull away.
When Dodoro stood up holding the fire fork, he rubbed the swollen back of his head with one hand, but after taking two steps, he stumbled and fell to the ground again with a plop.
The light at the bottom of the mountain stream was not very good. After Dodo Luo fell to the ground, when he raised his head, he saw a pair of skeleton feet in front of him. When he shrank back and got up, he finally saw it clearly. In front of him was the goblin skeleton sitting there.
If Xia stood here, he would recognize that this skeleton was where he found the local essence diary before.
In other words, the skeleton sitting here is the owner of that diary: Goblin General Curriet.
There is also a metal box on the ground, which is the same thing that kept the diary before. After Xia took the diary inside, he did not take the box.
At this moment, Curriet's skeleton is still sitting there, just as it was when it was discovered - in order to show respect for the goblin who wrote that touching diary, Char re-fixed its head and let it Continue to sit there.
And that box was placed in Curriet's hand.
Maybe it was just a random thought in my heart, or maybe it was pure curiosity, or maybe it was just at this angle that the light shone on the top of the box and there was a little reflection - in short, for a very accidental reason, Dodoro saw the box. , and then, by accident, the magician picked up the box.
The weight of the box is not heavy. Compared to the feel of its metal, this thing is surprisingly light—probably the level of metal smelting by ancient goblins far exceeds that of contemporary humans.
Dodoro looked at the box subconsciously, and it didn't recognize the texture of the box—anyway, an unrecognizable metal, perhaps, could be worth a little money.
This is the truest thought in Dodoro's heart.
I have to say, it was a very accidental coincidence.
Because Xi Ya had seen the box, his attention was attracted by the diary in the box.
And Dotolo got this box, he was just attracted by the possible value of this metal box itself (in his opinion, the value of this box is nothing more than gold and silver).
However, after opening the box, Dodoro accidentally touched the box with his hand, and was suddenly attracted by a discovery.
Inside the box, the surface is full of bumps.
Duoduo was stunned for a moment, but when he looked more closely, the inside of the box looked smooth, like a mirror, but when his fingers touched it, the obvious bump was unquestionable.
How is this going
The magician was stunned for a moment, then simply sat on the ground, carefully groping the inside of the box with both hands.
After a while, he figured out one thing: First, he felt right! The inside of the box is full of bump patterns! Second, these lines cannot be seen with the naked eye due to some peculiar technique, but they can be felt.
Thinking of the possible existence of "ancient goblins", "magic fire", "magic cannon technology" and so on, the magician's heart immediately jumped wildly.
He looked left and right subconsciously—of course, no one could exist in this mountain stream.
Dodoro took a deep breath, he wanted to hide the box in his arms at first, but then he gave up the idea.
If he finds this thing and hides it secretly and keeps it for himself - in case Master Xia discovers it, then he may end up badly.
Dodoro thought for a while, and finally came up with an idea.
He dug out a mass of dirt on the ground, then used the water bag he carried with him, poured out some water, stirred up some mud, and carefully smeared the mud into the inside of the box. Another blank sheet of paper was found from the bag. Finally, it was pasted on the inside of the box with white paper.
He did this very carefully.
When he finally used the white paper to remove the bumpy lines in the box, a pattern clearly appeared on the white paper!
Because of the ancient times of the mud, these patterns are not too beautiful, but at least they are very clear.
Todoro narrowed his eyes and looked at the patterns carefully... He looked at it for a while, and was a little disappointed at first.
Obviously, this pattern does not seem like a blueprint for making weapons.
Hmm... it looks better like a... map? ! There are some characters that I can't recognize next to them, which are obviously the words of ancient goblins.
Dodoro immediately found a pen and paper, carefully drew another copy of the drawing, checked it twice, and made sure that every detail he drew was correct, and he was relieved.
The magician poured out the water and carefully cleaned the mud marks in the box, leaving nothing behind. Then the paper printed with the mud was burned. As for the clear copy, he carefully hid it in his arms.
After doing all this, he felt a guilty conscience of being a thief and swallowed hard.
At this time, probably because he was too late under the mountain stream, Xia Ya's roar came from above his head.
"Dodoro! You guy, are you asleep down there!"
The magician immediately became nervous, and quickly shouted: "Ah! No, I, I'm coming up!!"
He touched the picture in his arms again, and then took Char's fire fork and the box and walked back to the place where the vines were tied.
When Dotolo climbed up in a daze, Xia was already very impatient, and looked at the magician dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing down there?"
"I... I fell." Dodoro made a reasonable explanation in a timely manner.
Because of the dirt on his body and the swollen lump on his head, Xiaya didn't doubt it, but just smiled: "Okay, you should be careful, you guy. Where's my fire fork?"
Dotolo passed the fire fork over, and Xia was very satisfied. He took the fire fork and wiped it carefully a few times before he nodded and said, "Very good... Thank you, Dodo."
The magician hesitated for a while, and finally handed the box over: "That... lord, I found this thing."
Xiaya glanced at it, recognized the box that kept the diary, and smiled: "Oh, I've seen this thing... um, is there any problem?"
"Um, that… the texture of this thing is a little weird, and I think it might have some value…"
From the tone of the magician's Ai Ai, Xiaya heard Dodoro's intentions, and smiled indifferently: "Well, this thing may be able to sell for some money, and the one you like is yours."
The magician breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but scolded himself, knowing that he would succeed so easily, and there was no need to draw a copy below.
Just when it was thinking about whether to tell Xia about the hidden patterns in the box, Xia had already waved his hand: "Go get something to eat, Dotara, it's noon, I'm dying of hunger. ."
※※※
Lunch was some grilled meat with dry food.
Although there is a corpse of a humanoid scorpion in front of him, Xia didn't have the guts to taste the smell of that thing - God knows if this thing is poisonous or not. The body has been dragged into the bushes. Xia Ya didn't want to see a pile of corpses while eating to affect his appetite.
The barbecue was still the prey that was caught in the woods two days ago. After the barbecue, an attractive aroma rose up, and Xiaya took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Dodoro, although your magic skills are very poor, but But my cooking skills have improved a lot. When I go back, I think you can be my head chef."
Dodo Luogan laughed twice, grabbed a handful of salt, and sprinkled it on the barbecue.
Xia personally poured a little broth into the comatose Sharba and the mercenary. Although he didn't know when they would wake up, at least they couldn't be starved to death in a coma.
But just as Xia Ya grabbed the barbecue and was about to bite it down, suddenly, he heard two "chacha" sounds from the bushes in his ears.
This sound immediately made Xia's ears stand up!
His heart was in his throat at once!
If there is another monster running out at this time... let alone a giant-toothed spider or a humanoid scorpion or something, even if a highly poisonous lizard or something like a venomous lizard emerges, then I am afraid that to explain here!
He can't move now, Sharba and others are in a coma, and the only one who can move is the trash Dodoro - it is obviously unrealistic to rely on this trash to defend against the enemy.
The movement in the bushes made Xia immediately put down the barbecue, grab the fire fork, and stare nervously at the direction where the sound came from. Dotara also leaned against Char's side with a pale face.
Finally, the bushes slowly separated, a hand reached out from inside, and after the branches were opened, a figure walked out slowly.
Is it a human? !
Obviously, the guy who came out of the bushes was a person, and, to Xia's heart, he was relieved that this guy was obviously a person from the civilized world.
Because this guy is not wearing the leather jacket of the Zaku natives, but a high-quality white silk robe with gold borders embroidered on the silk robe. If nothing else, just the pair of sharkskin boots under your feet would be worth several gold coins if you put them outside.
Not to mention the translucent water orchid drill used as a button on the chest of the other party's robe.
Although the white robe was very wide, it was clear that the person who came out of the bushes was a woman. Because under the wide robe, her figure looked very graceful, and the robe did not completely conceal the curves of her figure.
As soon as he saw the person who came out, Xiaya was stunned.
How can I put it... this woman... weird.
She dressed like a person with a lot of status, but she was walking in such a dangerous forest without any weapons in her hands.
What's more, her boots were very clean and polished, with no mud spots, and her clothes were spotless—she had come out of the bushes, but there wasn't even a sliver of grass on her clothes.
The most important thing, of course, is her appearance.
Her face is very beautiful, her facial features are exquisite, and her appearance can be said to be very beautiful. Such a face, with smooth and delicate skin, looks like she is in her twenties.
But her eyes... so unique!
Those eyes are like an ocean, full of wisdom, sophistication, and they have been through the vicissitudes of life. Usually people with this kind of look should be at least three or four times her age.
Those eyes are indifferent and full of calm, but they seem to be able to see everything. The eyes are not sharp or aggressive, but such eyes make you feel like just one glance: this guy must be very smart— The smartest kind.
In the same way, with such similar eyes, there is only one person Xia Ya has met in his life who has a similar temperament, and that is his current teacher in name: the old monster of Cavie Hill.
Let's put it this way, the woman standing in front of her looks like a female version of Cavie Hill! !
However, her hair...
That long hair was as white as her robe, and it was spotlessly white!
Facing the stunned Xiaya and Dotara, the white-robed woman seemed to smile, very peacefully, and then she opened her mouth, her voice was equally peaceful and sweet-it even sounded like she spoke in a harmonious tone. About the same old bastard as Cavie Hill.
"Good afternoon, boys." The woman smiled and said, "I'm glad to meet someone here. It looks like you are having lunch, so I wonder if you have any extra food to share with me, a passerby? "
Char and Dodoro: "..."
This guy speaks as if everyone didn't meet in this damn dangerous forest, but as playmates at a picnic on the outskirts.
"Ah..." The woman sighed: "Did I scare you? Or... Ah, I almost forgot, according to worldly behavior and etiquette, I should take out something to exchange food with you."
She touched her forehead lightly, then put one hand into the sleeve of the other hand, and fumbled for a while, as if she was a little embarrassed: "Ah, I don't have the habit of carrying money with me, what should I do..."
After searching for a while, she suddenly smiled: "Ah! Yes, this thing is gold, maybe it's worth some money."
She took out something from her sleeve, like a small badge, and threw it from a distance in front of Char and Dodoro.
This thing is indeed gold, and it was thrown on the ground, and it still glowed with golden luster in the sun.
Three uniquely shaped oak leaves with a small symbol in the middle.
Xia Ya might have no reaction when he saw this thing, but Dodo Luo only glanced at it, and his mouth was so wide that his eyes almost fell out!
"Three, three, three-leaf oak badge! Gold, gold three-leaf badge! My god!!"
Dodoro rolled his eyes and almost fainted.
Xia gratefully caught Dodoro: "What's wrong? This thing... "
Duoduo looked at the woman with trepidation: "You, you..."
"What's wrong?" Xia Ya shook Dodoro in dissatisfaction.
"Old, sir..." The expression on Dodoro's face didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This, this is the badge of a magician... Generally speaking, the golden oak leaf badge is a symbol of the status of a senior magician, but... This badge has three golden oak leaves!! Three!!"
"What does that mean?" Xia Ya also looked awe-inspiring.
"Big, big big..." Duo Duo Luo's tongue suddenly knotted: "Big, big magister!!"
