The Emperor is Above

Chapter 391 The Tragic Puppet Masters

"Everything has its cause and effect. No wonder you guys are cooperating with the Ghost and Witch Department!"

Qing Yi couldn't help but sigh, "People can do anything when they are forced into a desperate situation. This matter really can't be blamed entirely on you."

The Lord did not ask for censure, which made Kui Wendou feel relieved. Instead, he said with an even more respectful expression, "We have been wandering in the wilderness for more than a year, but unexpectedly, the Prince's retainers have not given up the pursuit and are still looking for us in the various countries in the Northern Wilderness.

When passing through Julu City the day before entering Northern Xinjiang, a companion went into the city to make purchases and accidentally revealed his whereabouts, so someone greedily reported the reward to the pursuers.

When we fled into the wilderness, we thought we had gotten rid of the enemy, but we happened to break into the territory of the Fuhu tribe. The old patriarch treated us very warmly, but we didn't expect that the crown prince's retainers would come in with a third-grade ferocious bird.

Not only did it severely damage the tiger totem of the Fuhu tribe, it almost caused a greater bloodshed in the Fuhu tribe. Fortunately, the mountain cat of the old patriarch turned out to be a second-grade exotic beast, and it killed the third-grade vicious bird and the crown prince's retainers together. "

Kui Wendou stopped talking here, turned around and bowed to the second-rank big cat and Fu Shou, saying: "Thank you for the help from the Fuhu tribe, and thank you Lord Shanjun for saving my life.

Unfortunately, we have been controlled by the Ghost Witch Tribe for many years and have no choice. Last year, the Ghost Witch Tribe swept through the various tribes in the northern border and we had no choice but to follow their orders. We almost killed our benefactor by mistake."

"Humph--"

Fu Shou snorted coldly with an expressionless face. When the barbarians of various tribes in the northern border united to resist the Ghost Witch Tribe, they suffered a lot from the giant beast puppets. How could they understand it with just an apology?

The big cat also glanced at it expressionlessly. How could it remember these little things from twenty years ago? Verbal thanks would not be as practical as giving some dried fish.

"We were completely controlled by the Ghost and Witch Tribe before, and we did evil things that helped the evildoers. We feel extremely ashamed. From now on, we will repay your kindness with actions!"

Kui Wendou's face was extremely solemn, but he had a helpless smile in his heart. In recent months, they had also contributed a lot to the Ghost Witch Tribe's hunt down of the wild people in the northern border.

The hatred between the two sides is not so easy to eliminate. It seems that if you want to survive and gain a foothold, you must first hold on to the lord's thigh and then find a way to resolve the grudge.

So he turned around and looked at Qing Yi: "After leaving the Fuhu tribe, we rushed into the Lishui Lake recklessly and were caught by the patrolling totem warriors of the Guiwu tribe and sent to the old witch.

Unexpectedly, after the old witch used the tortoise shell for divination, he calculated that we would definitely develop amazing war puppets, and he took us in with great care.

Over the next decade or so, he not only fully supported our research, but also allocated a large number of giant animal skeletons for daily use.

They even set up a vassal settlement, the Puppet Beast Tribe, which was controlled by us. At that time, life was quite free."

"From this aspect, we have to admit that the old wizard is amazing!" Qing Yi couldn't help but say, "Not only is he confident in his own predictions, but he also used his skill of buying a horse's bones for a huge sum of money."

"Your Majesty is right!"

Kui Wendou's skinny body was bent like a river shrimp. "We studied in Diqiu for many years without any results, and were scolded by the royal family members almost every day.

In the first ten years of the Ghost Witch Tribe, there was not much progress in research. Vassal settlements such as the Red Ghost Tribe and the Green Ghost Tribe frequently provoked us, and many people in the Ghost Witch Tribe also constantly opposed us, believing that we were occupying their resources.

However, these objections were forcefully suppressed by the old witch, and it finally took him fifteen years to successfully create a suitable war puppet using the giant rhino skeleton.

Although these war puppets are difficult to make and consume a lot of refining materials, and a large amount of crystals are consumed almost every day, they are enough to impact the military formation of the Three Divisions of the Marquis of Xing. The old witch also attaches great importance to them as one of his trump cards for future battles against the Xing army.

Just when we were excited and ready to continue researching more powerful giant beast puppets, the royal family member who had been leading us suddenly committed suicide! "

"Huh? Committed suicide?" Qing Yi was slightly stunned when he heard this. "He had gone through so much hardship to escape from Diqiu and successfully developed a war puppet. Why would he commit suicide now? Are you sure he wasn't killed by someone?"

"Reporting to the doctor, he did commit suicide!"

Kui Wendou answered with a complicated expression, "A year or two before he committed suicide, he often looked dazed, and even asked me privately many times if I regretted coming to the Northern Frontier Ghost Witch Tribe.

He also lamented many times that although the war puppets were developed with the support of the Ghost and Witch Department, this invention made the Ghost and Witch Department, which worshipped evil spirits and monsters, even more powerful.

For this reason, he had been living in revenge, self-blame, and pain for the past few years. Finally, on the day when the giant beast puppet was successfully built, he had an emotional breakdown and chose to commit suicide. "

Not only Qing Yi felt extremely regretful when he heard this, even Gongsun Wu, Yang Hu, and Zhu Zhiwu couldn't help but sigh. If they had met this person a few years earlier, they might have had a lot in common with him.

Kui Wendou's face became more and more sad when he spoke of this: "The leader of the clan suddenly committed suicide, which aroused the old witch's vigilance against us. From then on, our hard days began.

He was afraid that we would escape or destroy the war puppets, so he sent his trusted men to take over our entire puppet tribe. All the wizards and wild warriors were controlled by these trusted men.

The remaining twenty or thirty of us were ordered like slaves to make war puppets, working day and night with almost no chance to breathe.

Originally, there was nothing wrong with making war puppets, but this group of people relied on themselves as the old witch's confidants and exploited and plundered us unscrupulously. Many of our companions went hungry every day and could not even get enough food.

Just last winter, one of my companions died of starvation and cold due to chronic hunger and overwork.

"Ugh--"

Yang Hu said with emotion, "Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. This sentence is so true. The Ghost Witch Tribe did its best to treat you well in order to use you.

When your value has been squeezed out, they will use all means to bully and coerce you. From now on, serve the senior doctor well and never be like the Ghost Witch Tribe. "

Zhu Zhiwu rubbed his hands and said impatiently: "Mr. Kui Wendou, now that all the skeletons of the giant beasts of your war puppets have been dug out, why don't you assemble them and demonstrate how to operate them."

These words immediately brightened the eyes of all the students. They carefully examined the skeletons of these giant beasts, but could not understand many parts of them. Now it was a good opportunity to study them carefully.

Qing Yi waved his hand thoughtfully and said, "Wait a minute, I sympathize with what Kui Wendou said just now, but whether it is true or not needs further verification."

Kui Wendou and the puppeteers behind him, like chicks pecking at rice, responded repeatedly: "It's all true, there is absolutely no deception -"

"The divine power of the heavenly eye, the golden light that illuminates the heart!"

Qing Yi ignored their explanations, and lightly made hand seals with both hands. The energy in his body turned to the ancestral acupoint between his eyebrows. As his eyebrows became warm, a golden light suddenly shot straight at Kui Wendou and the twenty-three puppeteers behind him.

When fighting against the ghost baby in the capital, Qing Yi used the Golden Light of Illumination. It can not only dissolve the evil ghost energy, but its essence is to eliminate all negative emotions and negative forces.

Now Qing Yi suddenly realized that the Golden Light of Illumination was the most effective lie detection tool, and it could detect any lie told by Kui Wendou.

As the golden light shone on the group of puppeteers, Qing Yi carefully observed their reactions, but couldn't help but become more and more surprised.
