Every single one of them liked to do useless things.
Li Ke wanted to sigh, but he knew that this was unavoidable. After all, his personality made it impossible for him to be secretive about everything he did.
Therefore, he only glanced at them and turned his head away. Then, he used his axe to dig up the potatoes in the cracked ground.
However, he still gave the 'oracle'.
"Only the dead need to kneel. Do I look like a dead person to you? If you have the strength to worship me, why don't you hurry up and dig out the potatoes? The little ones are still hungry. "
After hearing his words, the two typical Freldrod men seemed to have woken up from a dream. They nodded in a panic and used their hands to dig the potatoes in the ground. Once again, Li Ke had the urge to sigh. He had to remind them.
"It's faster to use an axe."
However, even though he said so, the two brawny men still carefully dug the potatoes in the ground. They were afraid that the potatoes would be scratched by the sharp axes or cut open by their axes and blaspheme these sacred potatoes … …
Of …
"They're just potatoes. If you're so careful, how are you going to eat them? Or are you going to carefully serve them after excreting them? "
Therefore, Li Ke who was in a hurry to eat still sighed and said something that didn't sound like the words of a God at all. Li Ke's words had undoubtedly broken the sacred feeling the two men had for potatoes. They looked awkwardly at Li Ke, who was full of helplessness.
"That, if the holy things are destroyed …"
The bald Lelles spoke. He scratched his head with his muddy hands that were covered in blue makeup. He looked a little nervous.
This was also related to Freljord's superstition. Those priests and the like would naturally maintain their sense of mystery and holiness after becoming superior to others. Therefore, some cruel methods became a common occurrence. Moreover, because this place really had Gods and magic, people who didn't have these powers were even more respectful and careful of these holy things.
After all, those who didn't revere would usually pay the price.
"Just wash the damaged ones. Can this thing still release witchcraft? If you really can't do it, you can use it as seeds for next time. Don't tell me you don't even know how to grow potatoes. "
Li Ke was not interested in playing tricks, nor was he interested in playing with the Kingdom of God on earth. In his opinion, religion was extremely boring. After all, if there really was a God, would he care about the good and evil and ideals of mortals? If he really wanted people to be good, why would he create evil?
So it was either that the world was an accidental product, or it was the signature phrase of the Flying Spaghetti Sect, "I don't care."
Therefore, he had no interest in being a monkey in a large monkey show, nor did he intend to enslave the faith and will of these barbarians. He felt that as long as he did not consider himself to be a god and only acted according to his own will and creed, and forever denied that he was an oracle or something like that, these people would eventually be able to recognize reality.
However, he was immediately slapped in the face, not because of the gods, but because of the potatoes.
"No, I only know how to hunt and do carpentry. I also know how to pick wild fruits and fight with ordinary bandits, but I don't know how to grow things …"
Lelles was at a loss and a little embarrassed. Akalan also scratched his head embarrassedly. A shy expression appeared on the muscular man's face, and he also said something that wanted to anger Li Ke to death.
"I don't know how to grow things either, but I know that the leaves of potatoes can be eaten, and they taste good."
Therefore, after taking a deep breath, Li Ke stopped himself from continuing, and simply issued an order.
"Get to work."
After that, he quickly dug the potatoes, and the two men who were no longer afraid of these holy things quickly caught up with Li Ke's speed. In the end, they even surpassed Li Ke's digging speed. After all, to put it bluntly, this was still the area they were familiar with, and they were only slow previously because they were afraid.
However, the more they dug, the more shocked they became because there were too many potatoes, and they were also very big. They were all sizes that they rarely saw in the past. One must know that it was very difficult for them to find potatoes the size of an adult's fist in the past, but in this land blessed by Li Ke, there were rarely potatoes smaller than this size. This made their respect for Li Ke increase by a lot.
Because of the bonus of faith, the three men quickly finished all of this, and the harvest of this land was also very pleasing. They dug out a lot of potatoes, and they piled up into a small mountain. According to Cherna's estimation, these potatoes alone were enough for them to eat for two to three days. If coupled with their existing jerky and bacon, it would be very easy for them to last until they could trade with a tribe.
What's more, the leaves and vines of these potatoes could also be eaten, which saved them a lot of food.
Moreover, what didn't surprise Li Ke and Cherna was that when the others saw these potatoes, they were undoubtedly shocked, and they looked at Li Ke with a lot of things in their eyes, which made Li Ke feel very uncomfortable.
Therefore, he chose to leave the crowd and sat alone on the pile of firewood, eating roasted potatoes and jerky, and from time to time, drinking the soup made from potato leaves.
But to be honest, it wasn't very delicious. Because there were so many people, the salt could only be put in the soup and not on the potatoes, so overall, it was quite bland. However, the jerky in his hand tasted good, so he chewed very slowly and carefully tasted the wonderful combination of salt and meat.
"You don't seem to like lively places?"
However, just as he was about to finish the jerky, Cherna walked over with a horn cup, bringing with her the aroma of wine.
"You can say that. I don't like to be seen as something strange. Whether it's an Oracle or a slave, it's not my true identity."
Li Ke didn't take the wine that Cherna handed over, but he didn't refuse the slice of cheese that she handed over.
Cherna naturally knew that Li Ke was blaming her for adding fuel to the fire, which made her feel uneasy, so she explained.
"I just think that they should know how to be grateful. After all, you didn't ask them to be loyal, and you didn't agree to be their leader, so I'm afraid that they will have some bad thoughts. "
Li Ke thought for a moment and found that Cherna's words made sense, so he nodded and this matter was considered over. After all, from their performance, even if Cherna didn't add fuel to the fire, his ability would have caused quite a stir.
"You're right, but don't do this again. I don't want to find out that I've been carved into a strange wooden statue one day."
The former Battle Matriarch nodded obediently and said her way of making up for it.
"Yes, I will make them take a blood oath and not reveal any information about us."
"Then we'll do as you say. After all, I'm not very clear about the customs here. As long as we're not disturbed, it's fine … But Cherna, after we settle these people down, do you really not plan to lead them?"
Cherna shook her head again, and this time, it was quite firm.
"No, I'm no longer the Battle Matriarch, and I swore to follow you. Besides, Aichy will take good care of them. After all, her strength is still too weak. She won't give up these two precious craftsmen and a group of children who have lost their homes."
So, even two ordinary craftsmen are precious resources in this damn place?
Looking at Cherna's face without the slightest hesitation, Li Ke used a mouthful of bitter potato leaf soup to hide his sympathy.
This damn place is really poor.
