Tonight, we still had to spend the night in this village — in the dimwit's house. We planned to stay here for three days and wait for the fleas sent out by Icetis to figure out what the Bridge of Heaven and Earth was and find clues about the power of the Goddess. Then, we would decide where to go next. We might go to the capital, or we might go to the moon to check out the situation. Now, I realized that this mission was much more complicated than I had initially thought. Even though the scope of the mission should be limited to these two planets, the whereabouts of the God Equipment were still unknown. In addition, there was also a mysterious "Goddess" that appeared out of nowhere. This made even an experienced person like Bryndis confused. Again, power might not solve all problems. It would be fine if you asked me to save the world when the universe was facing the end of the world. At most, I would lead the seven armies to sweep through the world. I was confident that I could drag the Fallen Apostle's army to the Empire. However, if you wanted me to find a Protoss USB flash drive that no one had seen before and had no clues about, it would be troublesome. There were many things that couldn't be solved with just being able to fight and resist. Pandora could fight, right? Now, she fell asleep at 10: 30 p.m. under her sister's training …
Even though we were still in the dimwit's house, I was too embarrassed to continue occupying the main room. Even though I was a guest, I slept in my own bed. I felt bad for letting the host sleep in the side room. The fleas had already found out that the Cursemancers and Arcanists in this world could use secret spells to carry a large amount of luggage. Naturally, we could openly take out our beds and the like in front of the dimwit. I knew that it was a little pretentious for a traveler to bring a solid wooden bed with them, but who asked my sister to take care of everyone's luggage? I had already considered the dimwit's endurance by not taking out the seventeen-piece dining set. Lin Xue had even brought out a billiard table and placed it in the courtyard, inviting the dimwit and the black cat to play together …
The poor man gawked and dropped his jaw as he watched us take out the strange furniture that could fill his entire house. Of course, he didn't insist on giving the two rooms to the guests. However, he wasn't stupid. He thought of something and asked, "Why didn't you take these out last night?"
I had already thought of an excuse. "Last night, you didn't even let me finish talking. You ran to the side room and blocked the door. We can't just tear down the door and drag you out to change rooms, right?"
That was the truth, but there was still room for discussion about the details. However, I felt that with Blockhead's memory, he might not be able to remember what happened 24 hours ago. What we said and what we did at that time was probably a blur to him. After all, he only remembered one word of our names, and I was not sure if he had forgotten it or not...
The psychic cat looked at me deeply again. Its eyes were filled with doubt and doubt. Let her see. I don't believe that a cat can predict that these people in front of me are from another world!
At this time, Miss Lin had already placed the billiard table that she had brought from home in the courtyard. Three of the four legs under the table were padded with wooden pieces of different thickness. Shallow Shallow was holding the cue and randomly poking at the table. Visca was behind Shallow Shallow, giving random ideas. Miss Lin sent a second invitation to the owner of the room, "Blockhead, Blacky, do you want to play billiard or not?"
From the moment Lin Xue placed the strange "table" in the courtyard, Blockhead's eyes were attracted to it from time to time. Of course, he had never seen this kind of thing before. It was very likely that he thought it was just an ordinary table. It was normal for a country bumpkin to set up a table in their courtyard and use it as a place to eat when the weather was hot. He definitely would not have thought that this thing was actually a plaything. When Lin Xue first invited him, Blockhead was too shy to respond due to his reservations. But now, when he saw Lin Xue and Shallow Shallow playing, his curiosity was piqued. Looking at a bunch of colorful balls rolling on the green velvet table, the cat and the human were both surprised, "What is this?"
"Don't worry about what it is. It's just for fun," Icetis waved her hand, "When you're bored outside, you have to find a way to kill time. Why don't you go up and try?"
"Wait, wait," Blacky jumped to the edge of the billiard table and stared at Lin Xue's movements with its green eyes, "Let me understand the rules first. I can only use the white ball to hit the other balls every time. "
If I didn't look at its appearance and only listened to its voice, I would never believe that it was a cat. She could already tell that the balls weren't randomly hit!
I nudged Icetis's arm, "Sis Bing, why don't you go up and play? Aren't you interested in everything? "
Icetis patted her chest, "I can't lie down. I have a lower angle than you guys. It's not fun to play."
Shallow Shallow and Lin Xue had sharp ears and glared at me. It was hard for Shallow Shallow, who always had a weird brain, to think like a normal girl for once.
I have to say that Shallow Shallow's billiard skills were terrible. In fact, I suspected that she didn't even know how to play billiards. Based on her usual style, it was highly likely that she was just joining in the fun. As for Lin Xue … Unexpectedly, her skills were not even as good as Shallow Shallow's! The two of them were definitely not using their special abilities to play, so they took turns to play. The balls on the table were still the same, and other than the ones that were knocked away at the beginning, the remaining balls didn't move at all. In the end, I realized that there weren't even any rules for eight-ball, nine-ball, or snooker. The only rule that Blacky saw at the beginning was that only white balls could be used to hit other balls. Other than that, the two girls were really messing around. It was amazing that they could still be so excited.
Just when Blockhead had a good grasp of the situation and was about to enter the arena, something unexpected finally happened.
A small green figure darted out from my pocket and laid on the black ball to greet everyone, "Good morning, Ah Jun! Good afternoon, Shallow Shallow! Good afternoon, Lin Xue! Jingle, you're awake! When are we eating? "
The little one had been sleeping for the whole day and was woken up by the sound of the billiards. She didn't even look at her surroundings before she came out!
The black ball that Jingle had chosen to land was just a few centimeters away from Blacky. The psychic cat was shocked and jumped to the side with a "meow". "What is that thing? Can a dragonfly talk?! "
I quickly stood next to Blacky and looked up at the sky. After a few seconds, there was no lightning. Then, I realized that this world wasn't Jingle's territory. It was also far away from the Heavenly Realm. Perhaps the Divine Punishment System wasn't in the service area …
"Ah, there's someone here?" Jingle finally felt that the atmosphere was off. She stepped on the black ball and rolled around the billiards table like she was performing acrobatics. After she walked one round, she saw Blockhead, whose eyes were bigger than walnuts, and the psychic cat, whose fur was bristling. The little guy was a little dazed. He stumbled and fell off the billiard ball. In the end, he rolled and crawled into the billiard bag with the black ball in his arms. A flurry of footsteps came from under the billiard table. Shallow Shallow nudged Lin Xue's arm. "Does this count?"
Lin Xue stared blankly at the hole in the table where Ding Dang and the green ball had disappeared. "But didn't the green ball just go in?"
"… I mean, the black ball …"
"Oh, then count one for Jingle. She can't use the cue anyway."
I didn't expect that Jingle would be exposed in such a situation. Since there was no other creature like her in this world and she wasn't used to disguising herself (mainly because with her intellect, who knows when she would forget to disguise herself), I told the little one not to come out and fly around. She wasn't eye-catching anyway. As long as she had candy to eat, she would be satisfied. She gladly agreed to my request.
But if she was exposed now, it wouldn't be a big problem. It was much simpler than world peace.
I extended my hand and took out Ding Dang, who had been squashed by the billiard balls, from the bag. I placed her on the billiard table and introduced her to Blockhead and the black cat, "Her name is Ding Dang. You don't need to know what species she is. In short, she's my traveling companion. We met in a faraway place. Also, she really isn't a dragonfly. You can't say things like that. Kitty, you have to be careful. "
I was worried that the psychic cat wouldn't be able to withstand the power of lightning if the Divine Punishment System suddenly came online. In theory, the low-level Divine Punishment would only scare people and not kill them. But it wouldn't be a problem if the lightning came down and burned all of her fur. This cat spirit was like a human. Should I count her physical injuries or compensate for her clothes? The former would be medical fees, while the latter would be mental damages …
"Is this the legendary ancient race?" The black cat nervously rubbed against Tinkerbell's wings with its claws. "The Dim Moon War caused many small ancient races to live in seclusion. Most of them are those who can't fight in the war. Some races have never been known to exist from the beginning to the end. I think this little one … fits the criteria. "
I immediately followed her lead and said, "Yeah, it should be. Anyway, I found her in a primeval forest. There was no one in the surrounding few hundred miles." There wasn't a single lie in what I said.
Blockhead looked at me with admiration. "Master Scholar, you've really traveled all over the world!"
"It's better if you take her further away." The black cat carefully used its furry paw to touch Dingdang. Although the latter happily hugged its paw to show affection, Xiao Hei still couldn't help but take two steps back. "Her body size is about the same as a mouse, I can't control myself …"
I quickly grabbed Jingle and stuffed her into my pocket. Back then, Little Bubble had learned her lesson when she put this little thing that was only twelve centimeters tall into her mouth. Jingle's size was indeed prone to all kinds of accidents.
"Jingle is hungry!" The little fellow stuck her head out of my pocket and asked to be fed. I took out a small round biscuit for her to chew on. I also reminded her not to drop the crumbs into my pocket. I continued to watch Shallow Shallow and Missy play billiards. I was guessing when they would be able to knock all the balls into their pockets. At this moment, Blockhead finally rubbed his hands and said cautiously, "Can I try?"
"Of course. Didn't I tell you earlier?" Missy handed the cue stick to Blockhead. "Remember, you can only play white balls. There are no other rules. We're just playing blind."
Blockhead's body was like a bear and his hands and feet were big. He could only use three fingers to carefully hold the cue stick. He imitated Lin Xue and awkwardly lay on his stomach next to the billiards table. His aura could only be described as a crouching tiger or a coiling dragon. From his back, we could only see half of the table.
Then, we heard a 'pa' sound. The onlookers were all stunned. All the balls on the table didn't move.
"Ah, you guys broke it." Blockhead exclaimed and raised the cue stick. The white ball was stuck on top of the cue stick. It looked like a badly imbalanced lollipop. Jingle raised her head and saw this scene. She smacked her lips and crawled into another pocket to look for candy. Her appetite was aroused.
I was speechless.
Blockhead didn't know what to do. He took the ball off the cue stick. When he put it back on the table, he found that it couldn't roll properly. He suddenly had an embarrassed look on his face. "I didn't do it on purpose. How did it break?"
Icetis's gaze lingered on Blockhead for a moment. At that moment, she seemed to be deep in thought. However, she quickly returned to normal. The female pervert casually waved her hand. "It's okay. It's just one ball. I have plenty of them."
As she said that, she took out a bunch of billiard balls from her dimensional pocket and threw them on the table. "You can poke these balls as much as you want. I guarantee it won't break."
I took a closer look and found that the balls were golden and translucent. There were many small red stars inside. Some had one star, some had two stars, and the most had seven stars.
"Seven Dragon Balls?" I gawked at Icetis. She nodded. "Yeah. They're made from Lin's scales."
I sweated profusely. "Can we summon Lin when we have seven?"
"If we have seven, they weigh exactly one kilogram. Other than that, there's nothing special about them. Oh yeah, they're really hard. "
I was speechless. Blockhead threw the cue stick in his hand on the table. He rubbed his hands in embarrassment. "I'm not playing anymore. What if I break this stick again?"
As soon as he said that, we suddenly heard a clap of thunder in the clear sky. Everyone was startled. Blockhead looked up at the sky. "Hey, is it going to rain? It's not common in this season. "
I thought about it. Could it be the divine punishment that the black cat had attracted? The delay in throwing the ball was too severe. Not only were we late by ten minutes, but we also couldn't find the target.
Reality soon proved that it wasn't a divine punishment. The sky darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye. It looked like a storm was about to arrive. Everyone hurriedly put away the billiard table. Blockhead ran to carry the rawhide that was drying in the courtyard back to the small warehouse. Then, we sprinted to our respective houses under the overcast sky. By the time I reached the eaves of the side houses, the storm had already hit the ground. Everyone and Blockhead waved at each other through the misty courtyard. We returned to our temporary accommodation for the night after the cat and the human entered the house.
Shallow Shallow and Lin Xue had decorated the place like a presidential suite. They had even covered the wooden ceiling with a layer of wallpaper with little stars. I believed that Shallow Shallow had used her special power to decorate the room.
As mentioned before, the side house opposite the main house only had one floor. It was actually a very spacious wooden shed. There weren't many rooms inside. Lin Xue and Shallow Shallow had used alloy boards to divide the place into individual rooms. It seemed like everyone was going to stay in one room tonight. However, it was still early. We obviously didn't have the same biological clock as the locals, who went to bed at eight o 'clock. Hence, we gathered in the biggest' room 'to study our harvest for the day.
Icetis placed the black bible that she had gotten from Ron on the table. The smell of meat permeated the air. When I had gotten this book, I had already scanned it and uploaded it to the data network. The text in the book had already been translated. The server that was in charge of translating the book had even sent us an AI font that could be accessed instantly. With the help of the AI font, we would be able to display a set of bilingual subtitles in our heads when we read the books in this world. Icetis had read the book in her free time today. (Everyone still remembers that Sister Bing is actually a literary girl who likes to read, right?), so she was the first to speak. "I have basically understood the ins and outs of the Goddess Religion. Now, I can summarize three points. First: The power that the Goddess Religion worships and borrows is 100% from the Galactic Divine Relic. Our investigation direction is correct. Second: The 'Goddess' mentioned by the Goddess Religion has a ninety percent chance of appearing before. However, she is obviously not the same God as the scout who died in the war. She is also not the reincarnation of a remnant soul. Third, which is also the most suspicious point: There is a problem with the Dim Moon War. The Goddess Religion is quite normal in other aspects, except for the Dim Moon War. Following this clue, we might be able to figure out what kind of existence the 'Goddess' that they believe in is and the source of this Goddess's power. In the end, we will find this source, and it is very likely that it is the Divine Relic. "
Icetis' words were clear and organized. She pointed out a direct way to solve the problem: To find the Divine Relic, we have to find the core of the Goddess Religion's belief, the 'Goddess'. The Goddess does not appear often, and we have not found any traces of the so-called 'Goddess' here. So, we have to look for clues from the Dim Moon War. In the history of this world, the Goddess has descended several times. Every time, the Goddess appeared as a savior at the end of the Dim Moon War. However, she did not save the world every time. This alone is suspicious enough.
In fact, it is not only the 'Goddess' who is always saving the world that is suspicious. I feel that even the records of the first Dim Moon War are not necessarily historical facts.
Everyone still remembers the world before the Dim Moon War that Ron described, right?
How could a 'Divine Era' that was described as' peaceful, loving, and united 'erupt into such a violent war? Not long after the war started, all the races in the world, from Earth to the moon, announced their participation in the war, and quickly divided into two camps?
The rapidly escalating war situation, and the rapid division into two opposing camps, no matter how I look at it, it seems like the grudge has been accumulating for a long time …
However, just as I was thinking about how many secrets were hidden in this Dim Moon War, Icetis suddenly brought up something that seemed unrelated to the current topic. "Hey, what do you think about Big Blockhead?"
