"Then let's start blessing." Lilina clapped her hands cheerfully, and immediately attracted everyone's attention. I saw this girl circling around the two cribs, attracting us After being sufficiently curious, he stood still, scratched the back of his head and muttered, "Talk about how the blessing is done."
"Ding Dong doesn't know either..."
Goddess Little Douding sitting on top of her also shook her head in confusion.
"Eh? I remember that the goddess seems to have given me a few pamphlets about religious etiquette..."
"Dingdang bought it when the bookstore was on sale. I didn't know what it would be useful at the time, but I bought it first because it was cheap, and then I gave it to you—but Lilina, didn't you also write a lot of pamphlets? It's all religious ceremonies or something..."
Lilina scratched her hair and almost scratched her goddess off: "I'll go, who remembers those? What else would I do if I publish new versions of the Bible all day long? Isn't the old one forgotten?"
Ding Dong suddenly exclaimed: "Wow! What is Ding Dong's teaching!"
"Well, this is indeed a problem."
"...Why don't you ask a Heroic Spirit? They should know Ding Dong's teachings, right?"
"Well, when the time comes, just say: Excuse me, who am I?"
"Ding Dong thinks this is feasible."
Lilina: "It's too bad..."
Everyone was dumbfounded at this moment, and when Lilina rushed up to embarrass her face, I felt that this girl was going to do something bad, but I never expected that she would be able to make things so complicated when she cooperated with Ding Dong, so unreliable. Pu's gods and priests should be rare in the world. They actually want to temporarily discuss what their teachings are - this is not terrible, and what is even more terrible is that they have not come to a conclusion after discussing!
Ding Dong was sitting on Lilina's head with her small arms in her arms, thinking seriously about what the first article of his doctrine is, but I think this little thing doesn't have any doctrine at all, even though Lilina wrote it to her, I don't know There are so many bibles, but Ding Dong himself doesn't know what those bibles look like. Well, now it seems that Lilina herself doesn't know what those bibles look like. The two completely unreliable masters and servants murmured and discussed for several minutes, and finally Lilina was decisive. The little girl clapped her hands and ran to the crib: "How about I give them a fortune bead each?" Well, I opened the light myself."
Upon hearing this, the few of us couldn't bear to witness and hurriedly evacuated from the scene, we couldn't stay in this place any longer, as time went on, maybe these two little guys were going to throw people to what extent!
After the newborn's baptism ceremony, there are still large-scale celebrations in Monster Town. Many monsters take out all the weird gadgets made by themselves at home. The big ones are sold, and the small ones are sold in Relatives and friends give gifts to each other, the streets and alleys are full of colorful and joyful non-human creatures, and occasionally a few humans dress themselves up like outsiders. I lead a group of girls, big and small, in the family. In the town of monsters, I suddenly felt that maybe this was the reason why these monsters volunteered to help hold the baptism ceremony: they just felt that they had found another reason to enjoy the excitement.
Later, after chatting with a few monsters, this conjecture was basically confirmed.
Of course, I also inquired about why the Atlanteans have such a good relationship with these monsters. I am very interested in this question, because the Atlanteans are actually not easy to get along with other races. Ethnic groups, this point they are even more serious than those citizens of the Pan-Galactic Civilization Community who are generally recognized to have low EQ, this sounds unexpected, but it is also reasonable. The Atlanteans are almost a race artificially cultivated by the old empire. Therefore, they consider themselves to be creatures created by gods, and they regard the apostles of Xiling as the gods of creation. They have a subconscious self-esteem for their identity as a god. , This is not offensive and superior, but it has also become a small obstacle when they communicate with ordinary races: they are always used to correcting the words and deeds of other ordinary races as servants of God, especially when the other party does not When showing enough respect to the Apostles of Xiling, they have a particularly obvious common thought, that is, you don't have to believe in my god, but if you want to say a bad word about my god, I will fight you to the end. People with this personality are more or less troublesome when communicating with the outside world. The second point is because of the old-fashioned and strict religious life of the Atlanteans, which also keeps other races at a respectful distance. They have a strict religious class, and members of each race have two identities from birth: believers and warriors, and then pursue an absolutely unquestionable "Olympus ladder" class system based on these two identities; they have Strict rules and regulations, surrounding the belief in Xiling civilization, each member must strictly abide by the religious regulations handed down since ancient times; they still have a hard-to-turn brain, any Atlantean will maintain their own Their religious habits are the greatest meaning of life. Except for the will of the "Great God", they reject any outsiders who can dictate their living habits and ways of speaking, let alone make any changes. Ares called the Apostle of Xiling the "Great God" , calling the highly radiant water full of psionic energy holy water, and calling those frightening biochemical transformation operations "divine gifts", these ideas and statements are almost unreasonable in the eyes of ordinary races, but the Atlanteans But they are happy to maintain these claims for another 700,000 years.
Of course, I think another most important reason why Atlanteans have difficulty communicating with other races is their height... In all fairness, I really feel the pressure to talk to a humanoid creature that is almost two or three times as big as myself, Every time I talk to Ares, I can feel the feeling of looking at the world from the perspective of Pandora, and when I talk to Zeus, it is more serious, and it becomes the perspective of Ding Dong... So when the Zentraedi people come to visit Shadow City, they have to do it by themselves. Prepare a small body, or they won't be able to afford the bus ticket alone.
Thinking about it, I found myself digressing again.
"Why are the monsters so familiar with the Atlanteans?" Lin Xue accompanied me wandering the festive streets of Monster Town, and said thoughtfully, "Indeed, no matter how you look at them, they should be fine. In the common language, monsters have no rules, each of them is liberal and self-willed, but the Atlanteans are religious fanatics from top to bottom. The whole family lives a life full of rules and regulations like ascetic monks, but they just get together It’s — it’s actually typed.”
"Did it come out? Could it be that a conflict broke out between them?" I was taken aback and hurriedly asked.
We were busy fighting outside for more than a month, and even Sivis was dragged to the front line by us. In Shadow City, Lin Xue was helping to look after her, so she knew more about what happened here than I did. Now Hearing what she said, I was shocked.
"It's not a conflict, it's not that you don't know that there is no conflict at all in this place," Lin Xuebai gave me a look, "Don't be surprised, it's that drunkard girl with a cone on her head, she's posing again This arena, originally she wanted to compare her strength with a few Atlantean Hercules, but later the arena got bigger and bigger, so she simply held the world's No. There are many monsters who like to compete with others, but they are too strong, and they usually can't find opponents who can give full play to themselves. Atlanteans happen to be born for fighting. After Ares led half of the soldiers to follow you , the rest of the soldiers left behind are also idle, the two groups of people are just like this - do you know why the gang of monsters were scared away when we first came, it was because they set up a private arena and let the urban management team punish them Several times…”
The more I listened, the more amazed I became. While thinking that this was really a friendship between strangers, I was quite puzzled at the same time: "Urban management brigade? There is half of Reimu there, she..."
"It's just for catching yourself, you don't know Lingmeng's morality," Lin Xue spread her hands, "In order to charge more fines, she waited until the last scene was about to start to lead people over, who wouldn't want to Watching the finals, I paid twice the fine..."
Me: "...the girl is so tossing about, how come no one beats her?"
"Anyway, it's all for fun. The monsters never care about these things. They just want to live happily. Do you believe that even if the finals at that time were suddenly replaced by Cirno's friendship as the boulder in the chest, they were also very happy? Youkai, you just have different values, and Reimu also has this measure—she never collects protection fees from goblins."
I listened to Lin Xue telling myself about the coke events that happened in Shadow City in the past month, and deeply regretted that I didn't catch up with so many interesting things. It was even more regrettable that she would ask to hold another World No. 1 Martial Arts Competition on the spot—it was not impossible for her to do this. And after sighing, I was still a little confused, it was about Lin Xue: "Girl Lin, you seem to be familiar with these monsters? Are you just hanging out here?"
"Where else can I go?" Lin Xue muttered, "In Shadow City, you can watch the frontline battle reports at any time, but at home you can only listen to the radio."
When I heard it, I couldn't help feeling a little touched in my heart,
It seems that Xue Lin spent almost a month in Shadow City and Avalon, as if she was hanging out with us all day when I was at home, and she was waiting for news from the front line when I was not at home. Although her prophetic ability allows her to know the situation in another world at any time, but—this girl is obviously not in Shadow City for information, but for a certain sense of security, right
Just when I lamented that Lin Xue also has such a delicate side, and would be as uneasy as a girl waiting for her lover to return from an expedition, Lin Xue added: "Of course the more important thing is that I bet more than two hundred yuan on Apollo , I've been waiting here for the final."
You see, talking to Lin Xue requires a good heart.
Walking and walking, they have already left the bustling area without knowing it. Qianqian and the others were attracted by the atmosphere of going to a temple fair just now, and now they don’t know where they have gone, and Ding Dong doesn’t know where they are. She and Lilina fled back by throwing them on the baptismal stand. Sister Pandora was dragged by her elder sister to buy clothes. Today, these two little girls were hit hard. They are almost as big as themselves after seeing each other. Therefore, my lord sister felt that she needed to make up for the two unlucky short winter melons... After this calculation, in the end, it was Lin Xue who was still hanging out with her.
Oh, and one more, I've got a crooked little guy on my shoulder.
"Girl, is there anything you want? I'll buy it for you."
I weighed my shoulders and said to the little doll who was busy pulling out my white hair (dye it first, then pull it out).
"No," Mercury Lamp shook his head, his long silver-white hair crackled and threw me in the face, "boring!"
Then can you stop yanking your eyes at the stall selling dolls next to you and pulling my hair desperately while saying that
I ended up buying a doll that was almost as big as hers for Mercury Lamp. I don't know why there are guys selling dolls in monster towns, but the little doll was very happy with the gift anyway. She compared it to The blond fat girl who is as tall as me is holding it high, looking left and right in the sun, completely forgetting how noisy she can be every time she is lifted high, looking at the doll holding a doll on her shoulder (absolutely correct ) I think this is really cool: two of the same kind have begun to exchange feelings.
"I think this doll is uglier than Zhenhong," Mercury Lamp said to me very seriously, "but she should be smarter than Zhenhong."
Do you still have so much resentment towards Zhenhong? Your sister will cry when she hears it, okay
Mercury Lamp expressed her life plan for her new doll on my shoulder with great interest. As a doll herself, she had unrealistic ideas about this ordinary lifeless doll, for example, she planned to let the latter learn Linear algebra and organic synthesis theory—these two terms are from the textbook I have never read since I brought them home. Although I can't understand what they mean, it doesn't affect this little guy to list them. Compulsory subjects for dolls.
"The name sounds very powerful. It's probably similar to learning to write. When the time comes, I will practice writing Sandora's name, and she will learn linear algebra by the side."
Said the little puppet, while pinching the doll's nose.
Should I be thankful that the doll can't think? Otherwise, it should have been extinct from the world by this time.
Just like the usual boring wanderings, today I still walked along my senses without purpose, and walked into the depths of the forest with Lin Xue without knowing it. Monster Town has this characteristic: it and the big forest behind it There is no dividing line at all, and there are urban-rural fringes everywhere.
When he reacted, the sparkling fairy lake was already in front of him.
"Wow, I've come so far before I know it."
I put the mercury lamp off my shoulders and let her walk on her own, and Lin Xue and I came to the shore of the lake.
The places where heroic spirits often gather on weekdays are now very quiet, because this time does not depend on meal time or lunch break. Most of those heroic spirits have their own part-time jobs in Shadow City, or they have missions, so they should be busy outside now , just left a quiet space for Lin Xue and me, um, yes, a space for two people.
Mercury Lamp began to chat with his doll about the maintenance of Titan Mercury Lamp.
I looked at Lin Xue helplessly, and said in a low voice, "Why don't we say that the child is a third party shared by husband and wife..."
Lin Xue casually grabbed a small stone and threw it over: "Who is your husband and wife—but today is really quiet, how long has it been since we were alone?"
I thought about it: "It must not be a short time. It's not like you don't know how noisy the group of people in the house are."
Lin Xue scratched her hair: "I seem to be quite noisy too."
"It's second only to Qianqian, basically equal to Lilina."
I answered honestly.
The topics between the two of them just went on and on, and it was like this when we got along with Lin Xue. It seemed that there was always no common topic, but in fact, no topic was our greatest tacit understanding. When they are together, they are heart-to-heart throbbing, when they are with Qianqian, they will have all kinds of endless joy, but when they are with Lin Xue, they just bicker constantly - and then both of them enjoy it. It's weird, but we all enjoy it.
Sitting side by side with my girlfriend by the secluded Fairy Lake, on the lawn behind me is a "girl" who is holding a doll nearly one meter high and muttering, arguing with her girlfriend, and occasionally answering some inexplicable questions from the mercury lamp, I think my pursuit in life is probably like this. The goal of eating and dying is slightly higher than that of the third in command of a township enterprise, but it is basically the same as Qianqian. In a leisurely atmosphere, our topic gradually extended to the endless, and finally I remembered a question that I was a little curious about recently.
"Speaking of which, Miss Lin, why didn't you come and join us when we were fighting outside this time?"
I casually found a stone and threw it towards the calm lake. I didn’t have enough strength to knock over a Pikachu who was drinking water by the lake. The little monster created by Jingdong on the spur of the moment opened its teeth and claws at me and showed its middle finger in anger. He rushed away, but Lin Xue gave me a strange look: "Why do you ask this?"
"Because I don't think you are the kind of character who can give me peace of mind." I replied.
Lin Xue didn't want to get involved in the troubles that were just around the corner? This is not in line with her identity as a troublesome aggregate. Don't talk about going out to fight in the past, even if it takes me a long time to make a bottle of soy sauce, she will lead a group of people to watch, but this time in Mobrado World we almost The sky was pierced, and she didn't even call a few times—is this still my tsundere lady
Lin Xue lowered her head and pondered for a while. She never expected that she would answer my simple question so cautiously. After my curiosity almost couldn't hold back and jumped out, she raised her head, shrugged her shoulders, and said with a meaningless expression, "Because I went to Just die." RO
