Chapter 107 What is the post-apocalyptic era?
Chapter 107 What is the post-apocalyptic era?
At that moment, Feng Xue almost asked such a blasphemous question as "Are you sure it's your goddess who likes it and not you?" But considering that there really are gods on this island, he immediately pointed to the dried fish on the boat and said:
"We still have some dried fish left. If that's not enough, we can go catch some."
When the man heard this, he just shook his head and said:
"No, the goddess is generous and merciful. If you can ensure that the animals around you don't cause damage and offer a tenth of your daily catch as an offering to the goddess during your stay, you will be allowed to enter her kingdom. However, please also abide by our rules, which the priest will explain to you later."
As the man was speaking, two canoes slowly approached. Although the communication was relatively harmonious, it could be seen from the hands of the men holding their spears that they were still on guard.
Of course Feng Xue didn't either. He just stood next to Fina, looking at this woman with an expression that seemed like she wished everyone was a cannibal, and he always felt that he had to keep a closer eye on her.
"Don't worry, I won't seek death on my own initiative, including provoking others with the idea of being beaten or killed." Fina seemed to see Feng Xue's vigilance, and spoke in a voice even less emotional than Sarah's. Feng Xue turned his head and glanced at Sarah when he heard this. Seeing that she controlled the dog and nodded, he relaxed a little.
The boat slowly approached the shore. Feng Xue was struggling over whether or not to turn Liu Yunxi back into a ring in front of these people. A woman who looked respected walked out from the crowd. What made Feng Xue nervous was that this woman was wearing a white coat that scientific researchers often wear, and she was holding a tablet computer in one hand.
If it were just that, Feng Xue would at most think of her as a modern person who had strayed into a primitive tribe. However, in her right hand, she was holding a microphone with a stand, and judging by her posture, she was obviously using it as a scepter.
She took two steps forward and spoke with a compassionate tone.
"I feel the power of the gods, but the goddess is inclusive and does not exclude believers of other gods. However, this is the goddess' kingdom. You cannot spread your teachings on this island. If you are willing to abide by it, I will welcome you in the name of the goddess' priest."
"..." Although Feng Xue wanted to complain, he knew that now was not the right time, and the words themselves gave him a reason, so he nodded immediately.
"I am willing to abide by the rules here, but I need to pack up my ship now. This involves some divine magic, is that okay?"
"Of course." The priestess nodded slightly, but then changed the subject -
"But please remember, the goddess's eyes are watching over every inch of the island. If you use magic or other means to harm the goddess's people or destroy her kingdom, we will not give up easily, even if you are backed by a powerful god."
"Of course." Feng Xue maintained due respect, turned to Liu Yunxi, and said in English:
“You look like a ring!”
With a bang, the little white snake turned into a ring. Amid the islanders' exclamations, he put it on his ring finger.
As Feng Xue's first trump card in his time travel, he conducted comprehensive experiments on the term [mouth sealed] and naturally did not forget the way and means of issuing orders.
In addition to using different languages and codes, after obtaining Mo Ming, he also experimented with passing messages through Mo Ming, passing messages while silently reciting, and other methods. Although most of them failed, at least the successful ones were indeed useful.
However, it seemed that because Feng Xue had performed a "miracle", the priestess felt that she could not lose the goddess's limelight. She raised the microphone in her hand, slightly rotated the top, and said in a somewhat tongue-twisting language with an extremely solemn tone:
"Lavon Tann!" As the words fell, an almost imperceptible buzzing sound spread out, and then, a drizzle like mist came down, adding a bit of coolness to the slightly hot afternoon by the sea.
The priest seemed very satisfied with this "divine manifestation". He waved the microphone gently, as if to collect his magical power, turned his head and smiled at Feng Xue, saying:
"There are no rivers on this island, and there's very little arable land. However, you can offer sacrifices to the goddess in the evening. She will grant you food, vegetables, and fresh water based on your offerings. The ceremony takes place at the temple at the foot of the sacred mountain. I hope you won't miss it. But please remember, the goddess will only grant what's needed. Excessive greed will only bring misfortune."
Feng Xue just nodded when he heard this, but in his heart he was recalling the changes in the magic just now.
In fact, compared to divine arts, the other party's spellcasting is more like magic. It is through rituals (language) that the energy of the other party is converted into a specific spell configuration. The only difference from the spells Feng Xue learned is that the energy in her body is willpower.
"So, the gods in this world are blessed with 'divine power' by the gods, and then use that power as mana to cast spells? It seems the priests in the previous world also worked this way. But compared to the priests I've seen in Lucheng County, this priestess's spiritual power is far inferior!"
The priestess obviously had no idea what Feng Xue was thinking. After she was "sure" that she had intimidated Feng Xue, she left accompanied by several priests who seemed to be of a lower level. The villagers took Feng Xue to the village. Several elders who seemed to have some prestige in the village said that he could stay in their homes temporarily, but Feng Xue just shook his head and declined, took out the portable camping tent he carried with him and set up camp.
Although the villagers were curious about this outsider, few dared to approach him because he "believed in other gods."
Feng Xue was not surprised by this. He just took out some dried fish from his Hu Tian bag. After all, he knew how to adapt to local customs. Since he could exchange vegetables and fresh water for sacrifice, he would just offer some sacrifices. At worst, he could just go to the sea and electrocute some fish tomorrow.
Compared to the small amount of fish he had caught, he was now more curious about how the goddess would bestow food.
After all, you can’t just create vegetables and fruits with your willpower, right?
With such expectations, dusk soon fell. The villagers walked out of their homes with their harvested sea fish and dried sea salt. Feng Xue followed them. Under the intentional or unintentional gazes of several strong men, he slowly came to the foot of the mountain not far from the village.
At the end of Feng Xue's vision is a "temple". Well, after all, there is a statue of a goddess standing in front of the door and religious murals painted on the walls. Even though it is a completely sealed high-tech building with mirror-like photovoltaic panels on the upper part, in the eyes of the locals, it can only be a temple.
"I think I know how the goddess will bestow vegetables..."
Feng Xue looked up at the "divine light" created by the setting sun shining on the photovoltaic panels, and her face twitched a bit...
