Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

Page 148

Seeing the attitude of the villagers watching, the old man nodded with relief.

It's not his fault that he spoke so harshly and didn't trust everyone. It was really at this time of natural disasters and doomsday, food meant life, and some people would do anything for food. Although he trusted the people of Tonghe Village as a good person, who could believe whether there was a rat shit in this pot of soup?

Human nature is changeable, especially in the last days. Don't underestimate people's bottom line.

Having said that, the old man was satisfied and selected a few people he trusted to start sorting.

After everything was sorted and entered clearly in front of everyone, the old man coughed and said.

"Let me explain in advance that this grain is distributed per person. One portion is a day's ration for a young and strong laborer, so the more people in a family, the more they will be allocated. Therefore, whether it is a child, an elderly person, or a strong young man, everyone in the family can get the same amount of grain."

"No way! There is such a good thing."

"That's good. My grandson can finally have his fill."

Some families with elderly people or children are smiling, but others are not satisfied.

"Village chief, this is immoral. Why should young children and the elderly get the same amount? This is totally unfair!"

"Yes! Yes! It's not fair. Children and the elderly don't eat much at all. Just cut the amount in half. Why give them extra food?"

Some families without daughters or elderly people began to oppose it and wanted the village chief to change his mind.

Unexpectedly, the old man frowned, glared, and his aura suddenly came out.

"Unfair!? That's right! This is the rule I set, so you have to hold it in even if you don't agree."

The villagers were stunned for a moment as they didn't expect the village chief to reply like this. Before they could react, they saw the village chief continue.

"Why were you so quick to sell your children before? Why didn't you have any objection when you saw your elders in your family die in order to save food? You didn't have any objection before, but now you have an objection and think it's unfair? Do you think that I, as the village chief, really treat the previous things as if nothing happened!?"

Seeing the old man talking about the past in a menacing manner, some of the people who had done this couldn't help but look embarrassed and lowered their heads in silence.

"Oh, I didn't stop you before because it was really difficult at that time. If you don't save food, you will die. For the survival of the village, for the continuation of our ancestors, I, the village chief, acquiesced. Although I acquiesced, my heart is cold! So many old friends died, so many children were sold by you, my heart feels like it was dug out, it's so painful!"

As he spoke, the old man stamped his feet hard, his face full of grief.

This deafening voice also silenced the villagers of Wangjia Village and Tonghe Village. Yes, none of them had forgotten what happened before. At that time, they could only hold on and hold on. One meal was equivalent to three days' food. The coarse bread saved by the old man all went into their stomachs. Who could really remain indifferent?

The old man looked at the silent villagers with his cloudy yet clear eyes and sighed.

"Originally, I should have contributed to my family and kept so many of my old friends company, but I am lucky and I can't. Fortunately, I have a good son who is willing to keep me alive and doesn't want me to die. But I can't because I am the head of Tonghe Village and I have to take charge of the overall situation. I can't die, so I am still alive."

The old man narrowed his eyes when he said this.

"You say it's unfair, but how can you say it's unfair? In the past, you exchanged your elderly and children for food, and no one said it was unfair. Now others are exchanging their elderly and children for food, so what's unfair about that?"

The old man snorted when he said this.

"If you have the ability to find your children and elders, intact, I will give you an extra portion of food! Otherwise, shut up."

The village chief looked at the villagers seriously, and the villagers wisely lowered their heads and never mentioned the distribution again. Even if some people disagreed or felt uncomfortable, there was nothing they could do. It was the village chief who decided the distribution, and they could not resist.

Seeing that some people seemed calm on the surface but had restless eyes, the old man sighed silently in his heart, feeling sorry for those old friends who volunteered. Those people who survived were the smartest ones, and were also the most restless and selfish.

After sighing, the old man said nothing more, but he narrowed his eyes and looked at the village chief of Wangjia Village.

"I say, Lao Wang, you should have no objection to my distribution, right?"

"Haha, how could that be? I have no objection, of course I have no objection! I haven't seen you so fierce in a long time, Lao Tong. It seems that even though you are old, your heart is still young!"

"Humph, no matter how many compliments you give me, I won't give you any more points."

"Hey, Lao Tong, you are judging others by your own standards. Although I am not a gentleman, I am also a person who knows how to repay kindness. This grain seed was originally given by the immortal. It is a timely rain. It is good to have it. Anyway, everyone gets the same amount. Why are we being picky?"

"Besides, it would be good if more was distributed to those families with more people. They didn't abandon their families when things were tough back then. Now that they've made it through, they should be rewarded. We can't let people feel disappointed! Don't you agree, people from Wangjia Village?"

At this point, Wang Wei, the head of Wangjia Village, looked at the villagers behind him with a smile. After seeing this look from him, some people who were dissatisfied immediately became as obedient as quails.

After all, this kind of thing happens in every village and it is unavoidable. Even though the village chief is looking at them with a smile, everyone knows that the village chief of Wangjia Village is a ruthless man. Compared with the village chief of Tonghe Village, the village chief of Wangjia Village will never forgive his own villagers easily if they make mistakes, so the villagers of Wangjia Village are very obedient.

Take the last time for example. The man who caused Cen Yan to jump into the river and said that the child was exchanged was immediately called to the village by the village chief for punishment. He was beaten with a stick for twenty times and he hasn't gotten up yet!

Therefore, when the village chief saw this, no one dared to say a word and assumed that everything was determined by the village chief.

“Look, everyone in our village has no objection, so let’s distribute it this way!

"Humph, you are not a gentleman, so am I a villain? You only know how to show off those words you heard from books."

"Ahahaha, same here. As the village chief, you must be more educated. Even if you are not a scholar, at least you can't be a rough man, right? Don't you think so?"

Seeing Wang Wei laughing, the old man didn't care much. Others might not know who Wang Wei, the village chief, is, but doesn't he know?

I'm afraid that everyone in his village knows this man's character. Wangjia Village has almost become a place where he has the final say. Although the old man does not agree with his style, he cannot deny his character. If this man was not a bad person by nature, the old man would not let Tonghe Village deal with Wangjia Village.

So the two village chiefs finalized the matter in a few words, and the pile of food began to be distributed according to the number of people.

Looking at the situation in front of her, Kato Megumi was much more satisfied. The old man's words were right, and Kato Megumi also agreed. Even from the perspective of her own interests, people with good hearts and moral bottom line can be more useful to her, because such people are more likely to fulfill their wishes and are more likely to generate power of wishes.

Unlike some people, who have cold hearts and take it for granted that others help them. They have no gratitude, longing, or awe in their hearts, and naturally they have no willpower.

There were 132 people in Wangjia Village and 128 people in Tonghe Village, a total of 260 people. In the end, each person was allocated more than 20 days of food. If they ate normally, it could only sustain them for about ten days, but if they consumed sparingly, the food could last for two or three months.

Therefore, after the grain was distributed, the old man felt much more relieved.

The villagers around were also excited. Everyone carrying food looked happy. Even those who were skinny and pale could not hide the joy on their faces.

After the food was distributed, everyone went to the temple of the Carp God to kowtow and fulfill their vows with a sincere look on their faces, and Kato Megumi also felt some power of vows coming out of them.

But not much, much less than before.

It may be that most people believed in their hearts that they were helping the food when they saw it, so they generated a wish in advance, while some people felt a sense of identification in their hearts after receiving the food, and their feelings of gratitude and awe reached a commanding height, which fulfilled their wish.

In the final analysis, as long as the other party psychologically agrees with the transaction, that is, your help, then the power of will will naturally arise. However, the purity of the power of will is determined by the amount of awe and gratitude in his heart.

However, Kato Megumi doesn't care whether the wish is pure or not, because her nebula can filter out impurities, so no matter how impure the wish is, it is pure to her, so Kato Megumi is not troubled.

In a situation like this, even if some people do not agree on the surface, they still acknowledge in their hearts that Kato Megumi has helped them and solved the problem, and the power of vows will still be generated.

Of course, it is not only necessary to make transactions to generate the power of will. As mentioned before, sincerely burning incense and worshiping Buddha for a long time can also accumulate small amounts into a large amount to form a huge power of will, but it requires a lot of people to see the effect.

Also, even if Kato Megumi does not help those who believe in her, those who believe in her will still have the power of will. Why is that?

Naturally, it is the matter of recognition that Kato Megumi mentioned. As long as there is recognition, the power of will will be generated.

For example, someone believes in the existence of the Carp Fairy and sincerely asks the Carp Fairy to pray for a child for his family. When he goes back, he finds that his family is pregnant. This person psychologically believes that all this is the blessing of the Carp Fairy. Therefore, even if Kato Megumi did not help, this wish power would naturally arise.

Of course, as always, this kind of willpower still has impurities. As long as the principle of fair trade is not followed, no matter how the willpower is generated, it will have impurities, just like faith. The love, hate, separation, sorrow, greed, madness and ignorance in it are all impurities. If too many impurities are absorbed, it will be affected. Once accumulated enough, it will also produce bad consequences and side effects.

Therefore, those who believe in becoming a god basically have no good ending, unless they can completely give up those impure powers or even absorb those pure powers.

However, such faith would lose its unique charm, and that would be a shortcut.

In a time of famine, perhaps you provided food so that everyone could survive. The faith or willpower generated in this way would be exceptionally pure. However, purity does not mean the absence of impurities. The size of the emotion and the amount of gratitude would affect the amount of impurities. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to find faith or willpower without impurities.

Therefore, faith alone cannot take you far.

Although Kato Megumi did not specifically follow this path, she accidentally gained the power of faith and the ability to purify impurities. It has to be said that the faith of everyone might be the most suitable for her.

After the villagers' food problem was solved, Kato Megumi's worship gradually became stronger. In order to thank the deity, some people took the trouble to come to the temple every day to worship and thank Kato Megumi for saving their lives.

However, some people thought it was too troublesome or insincere, so they specially commissioned the village carpenter, paid him part of the grain as wages, and asked him to make a wooden sculpture of the Carp Fairy turning into a dragon for their home, which they would worship every day at home to appear sincere.

Of course, those who had no money or were reluctant to spend money on food would scoop a spoonful of water from the pool, grab a handful of incense ash, and go home to set up an incense burner to worship.

In short, the whole village was filled with the smoke of incense and mist for a while. If it weren't for the happy and energetic faces of everyone, others would have thought that bandits had come to the village to smash, loot and burn.

Looking at the effects she created and saving so many people, Kato Megumi was very satisfied.

Although her current willpower is not enough for her to perform the Transformation Technique, every day she will use a small portion of the source power to run a large circulation in her body along the meridian routes in the formula.

It wasn't just because she wanted to transform as quickly as possible, but she felt that this way she would always feel like she was making progress, and her body would feel better every time she ran that magical route.

Moreover, Kato Megumi also discovered that this route can not only be run by herself, but also by the little goldfish. Moreover, Kato Megumi also discovered that the source power that combines many powers such as willpower, faith power, mental power, existence power, magic power, etc. seems to be able to be used by others.

Therefore, she immediately taught the little goldfish the formula and route of the transformation technique, and also supplied her with some source power every day for a cycle, hoping that she could also transform into a human being, and strive to stay in the outside world properly, instead of just eating, drinking and having fun in her own space.

Not only that, Kato Megumi was particularly cruel and asked the village chief of Tonghe Village for a large number of books, including the books stored in her own space, and placed them all in front of the little goldfish, asking her to study hard, improve every day, learn basic knowledge, and know how to communicate with others before she would let her go.

After this happened, the little goldfish was suddenly in dire straits. She was just a poor fish who just wanted to play with bubbles, sleep and eat bread. Why should she have to make her life difficult by reading these tadpole-like words?

"No, no, Yuyu wants to play, wants to play!"

The little goldfish was acting coquettishly and making a scene. Its two fins were clinging tightly to Kato Megumi's body, and its pair of golden tails were swaying back and forth, causing the water to ripple and create circles of ripples.

However, Kato Megumi remained indifferent and calmly rejected her.

"No, you have to study for three hours every day before you can rest."

Although fish have poor common sense and love to play, they are also smart and have high mental strength. According to Kato Megumi's estimation, after watching them for three hours a day for about a month, they will be able to understand basic common sense and remember the twists and turns of the human world and all kinds of human relationships.

“No! I want to play, I want to play! Huihui is annoying! I don’t want to play with you anymore.”

The little whale blew bubbles and tilted its head in dissatisfaction, as if to say, "I don't want to bother with you anymore."

However, the devil Kato Megumi remained indifferent and acted cold and ruthless.

"Well, it's okay... It's okay not to study."

When the little goldfish showed joy on its face, Kato Megumi said calmly and cruelly.

“If you don’t learn, your daily bread crumbs will be gone.”

"Eh!?"

"I won't change the Deep Mirror Water for you either."

"Hey!?"

"I won't give you the comfortable daily massage anymore."

"Woooooooo..."

The little goldfish completely dropped its head.

Kato Megumi just looked at her calmly, with a nonchalant look.

"Even so, you won't study? Huh?"

Kato Megumi looks very much like some mothers who use studying as a threat to their elementary school students to not give them pocket money or allow them to play games, showing an extremely cold, harsh and ruthless nature.

For a moment, the little goldfish didn't dare to make a fuss and had to listen obediently to Huihui's mother.

"Got it, Mommy, I will learn how to study! Yuyu will be obedient and study hard."

“So don’t deny me a crumb.”

"Um"

"Don't withhold water from me"

"Um"

“I also want a comfortable massage every day.”

"Can……"

"Then can I study one hour less every day..."

"Can't--"

Kato Megumi refused coldly.

"Oh……"
