Qianqian stared dumbfounded at the little black cat in front of her, and asked another question in disbelief: "What is ten thousand plus ten thousand?" "Twenty thousand."
The black cat glanced at her in displeasure, but what came out of its mouth was the voice of a young girl, and then it stopped talking to us, and instead concentrated on licking its paws, pawing and washing its face.
Qianqian continued to be dumbfounded for a few seconds, and finally came to her senses, pointing at the black cat and exclaiming: "You can count! You're right!" Immediately, our eyes on Qianqian were more horrified than seeing the talking cat, Lin Xue almost bit her tongue: "Hey, why is your angle of attention always so strange! Shouldn't you be curious about how cats can talk first!" "Oh yes," Qianqian suddenly looked at the black cat and exclaimed again , "You can still talk!" This time even the cat looked a little dumbfounded—don't ask me how I saw the expression "dumbfounded" on a cat's face, anyway, it seemed to be interested in shallow The shallow thinking process was rather surprised, and the black cat licked its lips: "Is it necessary to be so surprised? Although there are few Mozambique cats that can talk, the proportion is higher than that of juniper cats, right? People in the capital shouldn't make such a fuss, not to mention that among you There is a scholar..." The few of us hurriedly straightened our expressions and tried our best to look familiar. I thought it was bad, but there was a troublesome situation: if you don't understand the situation in the other world, it is easy to subconsciously bring the common sense from the earth. so.
Now it seems that in this world cats can talk is an insignificant thing! In fact, we should be more calm, because it’s not that the few people present have never seen talking animals: in Shadow City, let alone cats and dogs, a mouse suddenly popped out of the street and greeted you: "Excuse me, How do I get to the Cat Mansion?" You also have to keep calm, because it might be a strange creature created by Ding Dong.
And since the lice on my own fox can turn into sperm, I really should learn to be more calm.
The main reason for our surprise just now is—I didn’t expect to see such an inconspicuous thing in places other than the capital of the empire! Lin Xue thought for a while, and explained to the black cat: "Oh, we have indeed seen talking cats, but I didn't expect to see them here. After all, this place is quite remote. Which big family in a big city will you show us? I'm not surprised..." The witty lady's explanation seemed quite reliable, and the black cat gave a clear oh, and then was a little dissatisfied: "I didn't expect the scholars' eyes to be so biased.
Why can't the poor people in the countryside have talking Mozambique cats? Good luck should come to everyone fairly—that's what the goddess said in her teachings. "
A few of us nodded: No matter what the cat says at this time, we must nod. Anyway, we can no longer show that we are out of tune with this world. After all, Sandora is not around, and we can no longer enjoy the kind of situation where we take out the computer in front of the local aborigines. play games.
While discussing the issue of slavery with others, it is an easy task to wear fancy clothes without being suspected.
After sighing, the black cat yawned and stretched in a very humane way, and walked away wagging its tail and muttering: "You guys are interesting too, I'm just a cat, why are you explaining so much to me, cats don't Concerned about this..." Except for Pandora, all of us looked at each other in blank dismay: "..." This cat is bigger than a human being! Get stimulated by this talking cat.
I also thought about another point that I miscalculated before, that is, I should not introduce myself as a "scholar" to others, because a scholar itself represents knowledge and knowledge, and it belongs to the kind that you throw me in any environment. They can touch their chins and shake their heads and say, "I understand slightly.
A guy who understands a little bit can only be called a scholar if he looks at the spaceship of the Martians and the excavation site of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum—at least in the minds of the working people at the bottom of the ignorant society (such as the big fool).
What's more, we also used the term "wandering scholar", which puts "knowledge of everything in astronomy and geography" on the face. Of course, a real scholar can't "know everything" like an old charlatan. Understand".
But the big idiot and the people in this village definitely don't think so. They may think that scholars can even solve the problem of Zhang's sows not giving birth.
What do you say when they ask me about the Goddess' teachings? What should I do if I ask how many public toilets there are in Hasad Principality? What about an introduction to magic? Even if you don't ask about the above.
Someone asked about the customs of the imperial capital? You can cover the front, but what about the last one—isn’t it a wandering scholar who claims to be from the imperial capital? And you always say that you don’t understand what you don’t understand, and you definitely can’t do it. Since you say that you are a scholar, you must have the ideological awareness of being surrounded by working people to study or visit: you can refer to those who went to the mountains to visit relatives and were surrounded by villagers. City people.
But I don’t know the knowledge of this world. At that time, people will definitely say: Why don’t you know anything as a scholar? At least you have to have some knowledge, right? If this is the case, I will probably only be able to perform the skills of crushing boulders in the chest or feeding four or five bear children at the same time. Fighting people and the like, this world probably doesn't thrive on champions of martial arts... In the end, I used to rely too much on Sandora's convenience and ability, and I got used to making up nonsense about my identity. Anyway, in the past, Her Majesty the Queen always used mental intervention to help him clean up, but this time I didn't know I just dug so many holes for myself. I understand why intelligence work is difficult to do. Some things require special talents. Even if you have all-powerful brute force, it won’t work: No matter how fierce Pandora’s firepower is, she can’t do it. grow up? But there is a reason why I say I am a scholar: this is the most effective cover to cover up my abnormal behavior, strange clothes, and incomprehension of the local world. We all know that in many cases, a senior scholar also crosses over among ordinary people. There is not much difference... At this time, the stupid big man finished his work for the time being. He cooked the meal in the kitchen, wiped his hands and swayed over like a brown bear, and sat in front of us with a big stone under his buttocks. With a humble face: "Scholar, can you tell me what the emperor is like?" Me: "..." Look at it, look at it, what did we just say! Here it comes! I thought about it, and felt that I couldn't really act like a broken boulder in my chest, so I could just say something nonsense: "Then what.
In fact, there is nothing to see in the imperial capital, but it is very big, with many people, and many houses..." The silly big man said with great interest, "Well, I know that the imperial capital is huge! The priest went to the imperial capital to be baptized. He said that if someone like me finds an alley in the imperial capital and sneaks into it, he will never be able to get out in this life. Lost! "I racked my brains to figure out how to describe to this simple big man an imperial capital that not only fits his imagination but also fits the world view of this place, and most importantly, I can round it up.
Finally, it was organized: "Well, emperors are like this, the houses are many and big, the urban area is still old, and there are streets and alleys that have been around for decades.
It is easy for outsiders to get lost.
The houses of the rich are all in the center of the city, so the houses in the city center are expensive, and the houses are cheaper the further you go, but it is inconvenient to buy things and go to school.
The environment of the imperial capital is not so good. There are mountains and water here, and some places in the imperial capital even have to transport drinking water from other urban areas.
In addition, it is very expensive to buy vegetables in the imperial capital, and it is not easy for outsiders to register... um.
It is not easy to settle down. "
The big fool patted his thigh happily: "That's right! The priest said the same thing, but he didn't understand what you said.
Is this how the imperial capital is? "I chuckled, turned my head and gave Lin Xue and Qianqian a high-five: nonsense, the set of things I just said can be used in any big city with decades of history.
Unless the new capital of this country is relocated, and the capital is moved from the imperial capital to a place like Gaolaozhuang Kaoshantun, it will be possible to break my "capital common denominator" summed up from the entire macro world... Seeing the stupid big man, there is still more I hurriedly diverted his attention to the meaning of the question: "Actually, we have been away from the imperial capital for a long time.
It's not clear what it looks like over there now.
I study... wild ecology, and I usually run around in wild mountains and mountains.
If you are interested in big cities, then I'm afraid I really don't know much more than you. "
"Oh," the big man didn't doubt that he was there, but just looked at us with admiration, "You are really amazing, you dare to run around on the mainland with children, you must have real skills, master scholar should know how to use magic Something like that? Or a samurai."
Now, when I hear any sentence from the other party, I will analyze how many secrets about the world this sentence can reveal, and what the silly guy just said is obviously very informative.
First of all, we can be sure: this is a world that has taken the magic route.
Of course, the only thing that can be determined is the word "magic", and whether the thing represented by this word is the same as we guessed needs to be verified.
Every civilization has somewhat different understandings of magic and technology, as well as their power systems. It is very likely that the magic that the stupid man talks about is not much different from the technology on Earth. It is also possible that people in a certain world will regard alchemy as a natural science. It all depends on different worldviews. In the end, we still have to translate it according to the common worldview of the empire in order to define the power system of a civilization.
As for now, let's temporarily locate this planet in the category of magic civilization: anyway, the locals think so.
And another information revealed by the other party is: travelers who dare to travel around the mainland are not ordinary people, they need "real skills", and they are real skills such as magic and martial arts that can save their lives.
This second point... There are articles.
Bingtis smiled: "You have to have two hands when you come out, but... the world is not peaceful now? Why don't we feel that?" People who are capable are of course peaceful, but it’s different for ordinary people like us, not to mention encountering bandits and monsters, even the demons and monsters on the dark moon will appear on the ground every now and then in the past two years, who dares to run around ah.
I heard from the priest in the village that this is called a catastrophic reincarnation. Sooner or later, Anyue and the people on the ground will have to fight. If there is no war, there will be no peaceful days.
This is what the goddess told the people on the ground long ago. "
Bandits, monsters, dark moon, demons, monsters, and the "catastrophe" that sounds like it's about to happen—a series of unfamiliar words popped up.
I suddenly realized that I had a wrong first impression of this place before: because it was the first time I came into contact with simple and honest villagers like the silly big man, and then I came to a quiet and peaceful village like Songlin Village, but the result was not as good as before. After visiting the whole world, I had the impression of "peace and stability" here, but now I hear the big man talking about it, and I understand: this is not a peaceful world at all! It's just that we just happen to land in a peaceful corner... I'd like to take a chance to ask what's up with the so-called dark moon and the "catastrophe" since they sound obviously part of the local mythology as well, but as a "well-informed The Wandering Scholars”, these questions obviously cannot be asked directly, so I started thinking there.
At this time, the silly man seemed to suddenly remember the dinner that was still cooking on the stove.
Then he waved to the black cat who was dozing on the wall not far away: "Xiao Hei! Go and see if the broth is done! Washed..." Under our stunned gaze, Xiao Hei, the psychic cat, jumped off the ground lightly, and walked towards the kitchen with graceful cat steps... Then the little black cat ran back, biting the stupid big man's foot There was a gurgling sound from his neck, and finally he looked up at his master viciously: "I'm a cat! It's enough to watch the fire and put salt for you, how to wash things!" The silly big man patted himself on the back of the head and laughed: " Aha, I forgot, then you go to cook.
I'm going to wash the fruit—the guests are waiting here, and they will eat in a while. The country people eat early, and you should be hungry if you have been on the way. "
One person and one cat walked towards the main house: the kitchen is on the first floor of the main house.
The black cat was still walking and complaining: "Do you think there is a cat like me who has to help with cooking, sweeping the floor and doing housework.
I couldn’t lift my head when I met the yellow hairs in the village, I’m a cat…” Finally, the black cat repeatedly emphasized with an aria: “I’m a cat~~~” We all looked at each other behind, and then The child put his head together, and I was the first to ask: "What do you think of this world? It seems that there is a god controlling it, and this place is not very peaceful. "
"What is controlled by God, how much power can the old man leave behind with a USB drive," Bingtis snorted.
"And the fight between mortal races is their private matter—what I want to say is, the dark moon demon mentioned just now by the idiot... Ding Dong didn't notice it."
I reacted to Bingtis' reminder instantly and patted my breast pocket lightly.
Ding Dong sneaked out a small head: Because there are no creatures of her size in this world, we don't know whether the term "artificial elf" is valid here, so we simply let the little thing hide, Even if she comes out to fly two laps, it's best to wear invisibility.
The tinkling green eyes looked around cleverly.
Then report in the spiritual connection: "When I scanned the life of the planet before, I didn't find creatures like demons, and I didn't find species similar to demons.
There are monsters.
And there are not many. "
"The devil that the idiot said is not necessarily based on the protoss's species naming dictionary," Bingtis thought, "They may see any monsters that hinder the city and call them demons... But I always feel that What's wrong with such a simple and hasty explanation.
According to the general rule, the gods in the faith of mortals will have opposing "anti-gods", or the existence of "anti-christs" commonly known by people on earth. They are either a definite evil god, or a group regarded as a scourge, My concubine guesses that those bandits, monsters, and the like are not considered "Ni Shen", only the demons and monsters from the "Dark Moon" that are regarded as "catastrophes" may be related to Ni Shen: Didn't the big man just say it at the end? Well, Anyue wants to fight the people on the ground, this is what the goddess said.
Have you noticed the expression on the silly big man just now? "Everyone expressed that they were too preoccupied with looking at cats and didn't pay attention to the big guy's expression. Pandora didn't look at cats, but this girl has a zombie face all year round. She doesn't have much research on things like "expressions"... "Hi, that's it. Worried and serious, sad and sad," Bingtis tugged at his hair, "It's a serious matter for a big man with no scheming to show such a difficult face. There may be clues to the artifact in the negative image... Well, anyway, it should be right to find out what An Yue is as soon as possible, it sounds like a place name? "We didn't discuss the result, so the stupid big man greeted everyone in front of the main room to eat, and Bingtis waved his hand: "Anyway, we will talk about it tomorrow, and there are multiple goals: to understand the connection between Anyue and the goddess.
All right, let's get together for dinner. "
The dining place on the first floor of the main house is a rather large main room. At this time, it was already dark outside, so the silly man lit up a few metal fireboxes nailed to the wall to brighten the main room.
What was burning in the fire box should be some kind of vegetable oil, not only bright, but basically no strange smell.
Meals in the evening are broth, vegetable soup, large pieces of black local dry food, as well as the scones and snacks we took out: the latter is obviously a delicate food, the stupid big man picked up a small piece of pastry and tasted it He nodded again and again and stuffed it into his mouth: What a straightforward guy.
We encountered a small problem when eating: no stools.
The silly big man is a bachelor, and he seems to have no father or mother. Usually, he and a black cat live in this house. Even if there are not many guests, he looks around and finds a total of three. The rough benzene wood chair, after I pushed the Pandora sisters on the chair, the rest of the people basically had nothing to sit on.
But this problem was quickly resolved: the silly man brought in the heavy stone pier (the "stool" we were sitting on just now) in the yard.
I don’t have much emotion about his strength anymore. Anyway, no matter how big it is, it’s human level. I just feel that the floor of his house is strong enough: the stones are conservatively estimated to be less than half a ton each... The house is lined with steel plates, right? ? *************** (The second issue of Xiling comics has been published, and it is serialized in "Manwang" magazine, and the goods will arrive in various places in the next few days, welcome to watch.
And: the character design is still in the process of fine-tuning, and it will be gradually adjusted in place in the future. This is because I am worried that a change of character design will not be able to connect with the first issue-in fact, you can hide the face of the holy father before watching.
