"Neural invasion-dependent poison, slow to take effect, strong effect, by the way, it is cocoa-flavored."
Sandora gulped down the fragrant brown soup in front of her eyes, wiped her mouth and made a pertinent evaluation: Of course, this evaluation is carried out in the spiritual connection, Anuza and his sister agreed I don't know, the siblings are still serving soup to everyone graciously, and at the same time expressed proper attention to Sandora's booze. When they saw that the cake in front of Sandora had also disappeared, they expressed their gratitude. more intense focus.
Anuza: "Aha, it seems that this guest likes our square cakes very much. My sister's craftsmanship is the best in the village. Please open your mouth and let the guests go out with their stomachs in their hands. It is the most proud thing in our village thing!"
While Anuza was speaking, the few of us exchanged glances quickly, and Miss Lin asked Sandora seriously through the spiritual connection: "Are you sure? It's really delicious?"
Sandora drank the second bowl of soup in one gulp, smacking her lips: "Well, there may be a little coffee flavor, but it's not that bitter."
Me: "... Are you focusing on the wrong issue?"
Pandora and Viska struggled to grab the edge of the table, put their noses in front of the soup bowl and sniffed, and reached out to draw their guns, so I gave the two dwarf melons two hand knives, one on each side. Sandora finally didn't care about the taste of the soup in front of her, and started to talk about the business: "There are ingredients in the soup that can affect a specific type of carbon-based biological nerve center. Of course, it is not effective for us, and I have roughly analyzed this ingredient. Its mechanism of action and molecular structure, and by the way, scanned the neural patterns of all residents in the entire village, and confirmed that this poison can only be effective against the local aborigines, and I am afraid it is useless to the people of the earth. It is very interesting... "
The young village chief didn't notice the actions of the guests. Under the influence of Sandora's mental interference, he didn't even remember that he hadn't asked the names of the strangers in front of him. He enthusiastically distributed the medicinal soup to us, then filled a bowl himself, and drank it in big gulps. There was nothing suspicious in the whole process. I watched him drink half a bowl of soup, and finally confirmed: this man himself Didn't know there was chronic poison in what I drank.
"Uh, why don't you eat it? Isn't it to your liking?" Anuza finally noticed that except for Sandora, almost no one of us ate, so he showed a strange look, "Or is there any special taboo?" ?”
I thought about it, and I decided to drink the soup: at least the taste of this thing is not bad, much better than the earthy square cake, Lin Xue said nonsense: "Oh, we are doing asceticism, and we can only eat it at noon every day Solid food, only soup in the morning and evening.”
Sandora covered her forehead and sighed softly, and a golden halo flowed through her hair again, so Anuza nodded clearly after a moment of trance: "Oh, so it is like this, an ascetic traveler, I used to I just heard that there is such a person, but I didn’t expect to see it for real. You are so amazing, even such a small child is doing asceticism?"
Anuza looked at Pandora and Viska and said this (of course, Lilina also by the way, but the latter is heartless and is studying other people's plates), so the mouths of the two short winter melons instantly spread The sound of clucking, booming, I guess if there is a piece of neutron star matter in their mouths, it should be crushed at this time. Anuza was startled by the sudden low pressure, and looked at this side tremblingly: "What happened just now?" Did I hear something break?"
"It's just a girl's self-esteem." Miss Lin continued to talk nonsense.
"I'm full, go up to rest first, and entertain the guests well." A voice suddenly came in, it was Anuza's sister. This girl has not spoken since just now, and even when entertaining guests and arranging food, she just smiled and nodded at us, and she seemed to have a taciturn character. When she stood up, I glanced at the opposite side and found one thing: the bowl in front of her was only less than half full of soup, and I didn't finish it.
"Ah? Sister? Eat this little again?" Anuza said in surprise, "Is it because you only eat this little food every time that you are so thin, and you only drank a little soup..."
"I'm full, you entertain the guests," the girl repeated plainly, and walked to the second floor, "By the way, I'll still pray in the attic at night, so don't come up to disturb me."
"Oh," Anuza agreed honestly, he didn't look like a village chief, but more like a big boy disciplined by his sister—well, do I usually behave like this in front of my sister? ? "By the way, sister, saint..."
"Tell the saint that the village still receives the holy medicine as usual, but the chosen ones were born here two years ago. It is impossible for such a small village to have the chosen ones in succession... We don't have such high blessings."
After saying this, the girl had disappeared at the end of the wooden stairs leading to the second floor, and the atmosphere on the scene became a little stiff. Anuza smiled and opened his hands to us: "My sister is very good at home, but she is very kind to me. She took care of me. In fact, I think she is more suitable to be the village head than me, but grandpa is a stubborn old man. He thinks that a man is suitable for this position, so he gave me the position when he left... Haha, but it’s a normal village thing Half of it is her decision, I am sometimes careless."
I nodded silently, and said to myself that you really don't look like the material to be a village chief: Even with the presence of Sandora's mental interference factors, the young man named Anuza in front of me is really a bit too familiar. He didn't even seem to be holding the door when he spoke.
I exchanged glances with everyone, and now I have discovered a lot of doubts, but the Anuza in front of me may not know much, and can only learn about local affairs through side-talking. So Lin Xue rolled her eyes and pointed at the soup in front of her eyes: "Speaking of which, everyone should drink this every day, right?"
Anuza showed a look of surprise: "Of course! Don't you travelers have holy medicine with you?"
"Oh, of course we have." Lin Xue waved her hand and said. The other party mentioned the "sacred medicine" again, and that thing must be in the soup. The local aborigines use this so-called holy medicine to make soup—or it may be processed into other foods. essential to man. According to the conversation between Anuza and his sister just now, I guess that these holy medicines were not made by themselves, so the most likely source of them is... the Melova people.
The young village head in front of us knows very limited things. We can only learn about the customs of this place from him, and then deduce some truths about the Melova people: in movies, novels, cartoons, games, etc. The kind of old village head who knows astronomy and geography is really a lie. Anyway, I have never met the kind of "lived in a poor mountain ditch for most of my life, facing the loess and back to the sky every day, only to occasionally see a passerby." The adventurer can exclaim: Hey, isn’t this from the XX tribe that is said to have disappeared for a long time in the XX continent? Could it be that the staff he is carrying is made of the legendary XX tree, a woody deciduous plant that has grown for thousands of years in the northern tundra. Cheng..." Such a village head old man, if a village head is really so good, what's wrong with him doing something... The Anuza in front of us is much more qualified, he is very suitable for the position of a village head in a small mountain village, except I don't even know the name of the town a hundred kilometers away...
So Sandora decided to put aside this young native who seemed to be very enthusiastic and scheming, and wait for the news from the imperial agents sent to other worlds tomorrow before making plans. It's getting late now. In this kind of primitive society with low productivity, it should be quite boring after nightfall. We are going to go out and find a place to spend the night by ourselves.
But Anuza strongly persuaded us to stay: "How can we send guests from far away out of the village on the first day! This is not in line with our rules here! Although the village is small, we still have houses for guests. And tonight, the star of God shines on the earth, and being able to bathe in the divine light with guests is a rare good thing for many years... "
Of course, we are not interested in the hospitality and houses here, but the God Star that the other party said immediately attracted everyone's attention. I looked at Sandora and Lin Xue, and the two of them showed a comprehensible look to me: This matter may be It is related to the Melova people.
As for shallow? That girl is still full of energy, she'd better arrange it, she'll be very happy no matter what, as long as I'm with her.
So we waited all the time in Anuza's big house, chatting about some messy things. Anuza talked a lot, and there was a heartless optimism from the inside, and he seemed to be unwarranted towards strangers. We finally introduced ourselves to him, and informed each other of our names. The other party expressed surprise at the strange pronunciation of our group's names, but... But with Sandora around, he was completely surprised and calmed down in less than two seconds. up. And with Sandora here, the conversation between us and this guy is quite interesting:
"Where are you from?"
Qianqian: "...1415926..."
"Oh, so it's like this. Hey, isn't the journey very hard? You seem to have walked a lot."
Qianqian: "Ah Jun, what do you think he heard?"
"Hey, that's amazing! I wanted to travel when I was young, but my grandpa didn't let me..."
Me: "The Chinese team won the World Cup!"
"Don't be funny, how is that possible."
Me: "? What's going on with Sandora? Out of control?"
Sandora was dumbfounded: "...It's probably a coincidence, I don't know what he's thinking about."
In short, a group of aliens and a simple and lovely local aborigine, the two have a good atmosphere with each other and established a dialogue with a good understanding. It's not that we are bullying the indigenous people, but Anuza's questions are really sharp. He asked me to tell him the story of the Tiancao Plain... If Sandora doesn't help, how can I continue to make it up? This girl in front of me is not the little girl at home who can fool her with Liu Xuande's Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs...
In such a joyful atmosphere, we ushered in the late night of this middle-world planet. Now the time should correspond to 9 o'clock on the earth. I was just about to start wondering when the God Star mentioned by Anuza would appear. Then I heard a voice coming from outside.
"The time is up, the time is up," Anuza stood up happily, "The star of God has ascended! Let's go!"
We left the big house behind Anuza, and saw that the open space in the village was full of men, women and children, and villagers came out of the house one after another. There was no sound, and even the youngest child maintained a dead calm. They looked up at the sky at a uniform angle. In the dark night sky, a square bright spot was slowly moving across the sky, emitting a golden halo brighter than all the stars. When it passed across the sky, there was a faint resonant sound as if thousands of people were singing in a low voice in the air in all directions, although I couldn't hear what the sound was saying at all.
"God! Thank you for giving us another day of peace," all the villagers, except Anuza standing in front of the big house, all knelt down under the huge golden "star" and raised their hands high. Lifting to the sky, their faces were full of gratitude from the heart, and the golden halo of the Star of God sprinkled on everyone's face, as if the "god" really responded to their voices.
"Why didn't you salute the star of God?" Anuza looked at us curiously, and I was taken aback, curious too: "Then why didn't you salute?"
Anuza immediately slapped his head, and hurriedly worshiped the star of God together with other villagers: "Oh, I forgot!"
"Is this guy really all right?" Lin Xue couldn't help touching my arm and said in a low voice.
My attention is still in the sky, and Sandora has turned on the mental interference again. No one will notice what a group of us are doing. Qianqian looked up at the sky with me, and suddenly said: "Ah Jun, Shall we knock it down?"
Pandora and Viska responded very quickly. By the time I gave each of these two girls a knife, they had already set up their anti-aircraft guns and were aiming there.
"It's just a spaceship." Sandora frowned, watching the so-called God Star slowly across the sky with displeasure, "It seems to be specially prepared for this kind of scene. I didn't detect it Weapon system, and the side of the ship facing the planet has been modified to emit powerful light curtains and fixed-point resonance broadcasts... This is a thing dedicated to magic sticks from beginning to end."
"Oh shit, it's still possible to do this..." Lilina's little head was almost turned up to 120 degrees, and the star of God had already crossed the highest point in the sky. Before she twisted into a more curious pose, she held her by the collar and turned her in the right direction, "Boss, can you give me a bigger spaceship?"
"Don't make trouble," I slapped her back, and turned to look at Sandora, "It seems that the Melova people have molded themselves into gods on this planet. They suppressed this planet in the state of the Middle Ages, could it be Is it also to make my deified image more stable?"
"As far as I know, there are also many races that have developed into cross-world civilizations who believe in gods. If it is just to make their deified image more stable, it would be too expensive to suppress a direct-controlled star in the middle world. And what's the point of doing this? It takes so much effort to run a planet, and it may even use brainwashing and drugs, just to make the natives here worship themselves as gods, and drive a spaceship to float across the planet every day Harvest billions of brain gates? What's the value of that?"
Faced with Sandora's subtle complaints, Qianqian actually thought about it seriously, and then hesitated and said, "Maybe it's for self-gratification?"
Me: "..." It's a shame that this girl can come up with such a conclusion so seriously!
It seems that there is still a long time before the star of God will float from the sky, and the villagers are devoutly worshiping this Melova stick ship. If the star of God does not disappear, their ceremony may not end . I felt a little bored, thinking about whether I should really ask Pandora to raise her hand to give the spaceship a shot, but just when I was about to put this idea into practice out of boredom, a slight sound suddenly came from above— It is the second floor of Anuza's big house.
Sandora and Lin Xue looked over at the same time: "Ah Jun (Wood), let's go up and have a look!"
The layout of the indigenous houses on this planet is as follows: the first floor is a very large hall, which is used for daily activities and entertaining guests, and the second floor is also used for living, kitchen and attic storage. After going up to the second floor, we found out that there are several small rooms here. It seems that the village chief is worthy of being the village chief. The per capita living area... well, let's not discuss this.
The sound came from a room close to the stairs on the second floor. It sounded like the sound of someone falling on the ground and struggling, mixed with groans that were suppressed hard. Qianqian's mobility is super high, without saying a word, she took the door down with a slap...
"Um... I didn't expect it to be so weak?" Qianqian put the door down, scratched her hair, and looked at me embarrassedly.
Me: "...don't play with Lin anymore."
"You... who told you... to come in..."
An intermittent weak voice came from the room, interrupting the conversation between Qianqian and me. Anuza's sister fell to the ground, curled up in pain, but still managed to raise her head, looked at us and said.
"I'm going, hurry up and help." I rushed up, trying to help the thin girl up, but after a little movement, the other party showed a more painful expression, her whole body was terribly hot, and the skin everywhere seemed to * was trembling as well, as if any external contact and force would cause her more pain, then I gave up, and turned to look at Lilina: "Girl, come save me."
Lilina Baoxiang stepped forward solemnly, gently held the girl's hand, and said in a gentle and compassionate tone: "Great and benevolent goddess of life, you love everyone, now please use this great power … I can’t remember clearly later, so I omitted it.”
A green light emerged from Lilina's hand and gradually sank into the body of the girl who fell on the ground. The latter finally relieved her pain. After a few seconds, she sat up and showed us a very wary look: "Who told you to come in? of?" RS
