Chapter 1,062 Little Crow, the God of Grocery Stores

"Let me introduce to you, what is her name? She is one of the first few followers of the Crow God. I took it with me when we set off. Her main mission here is that." Lilina pointed at the already at a loss. Cat girl, He introduced happily.

The petite girl standing nervously in front of us (only about 1.4 meters tall, and still an adult, to say petite is quite euphemistic) immediately bowed to everyone awkwardly, and then changed her movements hurriedly, trying to raise her head. She bowed her skirt, looking at her clumsy look, as if she hadn't figured out the common etiquette for communicating with others. Finally, I heard the almost inaudible voice squeezed out of the other person's mouth: "You...Hello, my name is La Bi, why not call it that..."

"Oh, so your name is Rabbi, I forgot about it," Lilina scratched her hair without sincerity, then took out a handful of cheap souvenirs and stuffed them into the other person's hand, "I gave these to you on the way. If you buy it, keep it for fun, remember to take it back and share it with others."

"Thank you... Thank you, Lady Lilina. Well, I have to clean up the room... Well, these people are..." The cat girl named Rabbi struggled to grab a lot of messy little things while looking at us cautiously. , as if he didn’t dare to talk directly to a stranger, then raised his head and looked at Lilina. Lilina immediately jumped up and grabbed my arm, and introduced happily: "This is the boss of my family! I was raised by him, Crow God He also raised him - by the way, if you put it that way, he should be the king of the gods..."

"Eh...Eh?" The cat lady glanced at me with a slow response. But what surprised me was that she didn’t express any more surprise. Next, Lilina introduced us all, but her introduction method was really messy:

"This is Sister Qianqian, the Queen of Gods. This is 123, shiny, this is Lin, very strong, this is a doll. It's a doll, this is Saeko, the rice balls she makes are delicious, this is Monina can cook more than 2,000 kinds of vegetables, and this is Ji Shanshan..."

Lilina talked around and some of them had nicknames. Some talk about specialties, and some talk about status. The mess completely stunned the cat girl who seemed to have no brains. The other party could only keep grinning, showing eight teeth to everyone else. I couldn't help but tugged at Lilina: "Is this how you usually introduce people? Isn't it the same as not saying anything?"

Lilina waved her hand: "It's okay. She definitely can't remember anyone's name anyway. Let her feel a little familiar and you're done."

Lilina was right. After the introduction, the cat lady named Rabbi really didn't remember anyone, not even the most memorable and distinctive Mr. "Bling 123". She looked at us with a red face and kept saying "that" for a long time without saying a single name. In the end, he scratched his hair in confusion: "I'll clean up the room for everyone... Ah, officiant. You don't need to come..."

Vanilla wanted to follow her to help, but the rabbi immediately waved his hands in panic, almost jumping and running towards the room. I keenly caught a word: the rabbi just called Vanilla "the officiant". I glanced at Lilina and said with a smile: "Have you really started a religious cause?"

"Of course, if you are not idle, you are idle, occasionally helping others, and then using the name of the Crow God. It is much easier to preach in this world than in those worlds with solidified religions," Lilina looked at her sister who was rummaging in her pocket for nuts to eat. The little crow glanced at him, his expression suddenly a little depressed, "Ah, what a contradiction, such a unique environment, but it's a pity that the bird has to occupy it first, my goddess, your followers are incompetent..."

A group of people looked at this girl with contempt. Lilina has been preaching to other gods passionately for so many days, and only now she pitifully says that she has discredited her own god, which is as bad as Jesus holding up a rosary and preaching the teachings of Allah everywhere. . If the integrity of this guy's throwing away can be burned, at least half of Southeast Asia's thermal power generation problem can be solved.

I looked down at the pocket on my chest, but it was a pity that I couldn't squeeze Dingdang out so I could complain about Lilina to my heart's content. This little thing was still jet-lagged, and fell asleep again just after eating at noon.

We followed Lilina to the lounge first. The lounge is the largest room on this floor. The room is covered with soft couches and low tables. At first glance, it is a place prepared for lazy people to relax, chat and smack together. Of course This is for us: for experts who really come to the Arcana Society for academic research, this should be a place where they gather to discuss issues, but in the hands of our family, it immediately transformed into a paradise for playing cards and chatting. After throwing myself on a soft couch that was shorter than the bed and higher than the floor, I stretched out comfortably. The mercury lamp tried to bounce on my stomach a few times, but my sister caught me aside. I looked at Lilina, who was stuffing snacks into her mouth, and thought it was time to find out what they had been doing for so many days, so I started with the strange girl: "What's going on with the girl with cat ears?"

Lilina's ears twitched slightly, and she came over with a bad smile: "Boss, are you interested in the beast-eared girl? Don't you already have a fox dog at home? Lan is already very attached to you, so she doesn't feel a sense of accomplishment, so she decided to buy it next time a cat……"

"If you don't want to sleep in the basket tonight, just be obedient!"

"...Actually, we met her on the first day we got here," Lilina immediately calmed down, "When we teleported here, we landed in the barbaric area far to the south - which is similar to the three-no-no zone, then I don’t know where this cat wandered from. Her combat power is about 5. Of course she can’t live in a no-nonsense zone, so she plans to steal things for a living. But as you can see, her appearance is really not what she is made for. When we went to the town to collect intelligence, she was being beaten up and almost dying, so I took action and rescued her.

Then I discovered that the local situation was really chaotic. That place was a mine a long time ago, which produced a kind of crystal sand that can be used to process 'glass'. Therefore, a small town gradually gathered. But then the crystal sand was dug out, and the mine also disappeared. It was abandoned. Now the only pillar of survival there is the few remaining crystal sands in the surrounding fields and mines. The only people left there are poor farmers, thieves, bankrupt households, and people fleeing from famine. Basically, these are the people, and the situation of many of them is They are all just like that cat, with no ability to survive. I don’t have the money to go elsewhere and struggle to survive locally. We first found a huge tiankeng in the deepest part of the mine that ordinary people would not dare to approach. The tiankeng was caused by the collapse of the mountain structure when digging for crystal sand. We settled there and started to put the little bird into the water. Package promotion——"

Lilina's method of preaching is actually quite simple. Although she looks like a dark and curious black loli, she actually knows how to give the right help to the right people. So that the other party can follow your will wholeheartedly. In her eyes, the people who have fallen the worst are the best reserves for the believers. These people are already penniless and homeless. A piece of bread can be used as a life-saving grace. As long as they can eat enough, they are willing to follow anyone - of course there is no guarantee of the loyalty that this kind of food can bring, but as long as they can temporarily listen to themselves, with Lily With Na's methods, it is not difficult to turn these people into religious backbones.

She led Vanilla and the newly rescued cat girl (the sister and the little crow stayed in the mine to look after the house, according to Lilina. God had to keep the mystery: although I never saw her letting Ding Dong keep the mystery) When he arrived in town, he did not identify himself in any way. Without mentioning the matter of the Crow God, the first thing they did was the simplest thing: distribute food.

And in an earth-shattering way: summoning a giant tree in the large clearing in the middle of town (formerly the town's assembly square). The giant tree grew up in thirty minutes, making a thunderous sound that attracted almost everyone in the town (I say almost because there are four deaf people in the town). The branches of the giant tree hung so low that ordinary people could stand up. As high as it can reach, the huge tree canopy covers the entire square, and the low-hanging branches are covered with steak-flavored burgers, chicken-flavored bread, pineapple-flavored apples, orange-flavored bananas and rib-flavored chicken legs— -In short, no one cares about the details. This is a sacred tree that in myths and legends bears bread on its branches and allows the poor to feed themselves: Lilina stole the idea of ​​Jesus without hesitation.

The trunk of the giant tree split into twelve neat openings, from which fragrant Coke and Sprite poured out...

"Actually, there is another version of the Holy Tree," Lilina introduced to me with her fingers. "I used it when I was preaching on the planet Ganglanier. Spicy soup and pearl fruit milk tea would flow out of the trunk, but That kind of seed has been used up, and the races stocked in the Temple of the World Tree are all Coke and Sprite versions. Well, they are all the same when used, and people in this world don’t know Coke and Sprite. I later explained to them that those things are gods. The banquet prepared by the gods for mortals must have the wine of the gods..." I was dumbfounded when I heard this: "...This is also okay!?"

I was about to throw this girl into the basket when I saw the five protoss gangsters around me nodding thoughtfully...

What Lilina did was so unique to her. She was using the power of the Goddess of Life to act as a miracle worker for the Crow God, and she did it without any psychological pressure. How much of a stir could a giant tree like this cause? Of course it is self-evident. Even on Earth in the 21st century, if a large bowl of beef ramen hangs from a tree, I guess it would cause a global sensation - of course, the key issue here is whether the tree has changed. It became a miracle in the mining town. However, after doing all this, Lilina and Vanilla, who had attracted huge attention, did not explain anything. They pointed to the fruits on the tree and signaled to the hungry people in the square that they could take whatever they wanted. Use it, then turn around and disappear into thin air.

The next day, they purified all the water sources and made three wells that had dried up flow again.

On the third day, they cured everyone in the town, including the deaf and blind.

On the fourth day, they summoned the miracle of life, making the originally barren land around the town instantly fertile and fertile. Every piece of farmland that was originally just a subsistence area was filled with crops that matured within one day. In addition to the giant tree, the town finally had a real food reserve.

On the fifth day, they planted a huge black feather like a flag in front of the giant tree in the center of the square, and the entire town began to be enveloped by a shield with steel-like power. The shield began to judge the actions of the people in the town. All the violent incidents came to an abrupt end. The hungry beasts that often rushed from the direction of the wilderness to attack people and livestock tried to rob livestock again that night. All were killed outside the town by this powerful shield.

On the sixth day, Lilina, Vanilla and Silly Bird thought about it and finally couldn't think of anything else to worry about, so they finally started preaching. That's right, the main reason why the "Five Days of Redemption" miracle in "Ten Signs of the Crow God" took five days was because God had no more moves on the sixth day... In fact, Lilina's plan at the beginning was to be as tossing as in Genesis. Seven days, but after thinking for a long time, she finally gave up her plan to summon seventy or eighty giant dragons to attack the city and then lead the vanilla to slay the dragon herself: She was afraid that I would beat her up if I found out.

"Is this how you sell stupid people to people?" I looked at Lilina in shock, as I had known her to preach. But I haven’t come across the details of her missionary work. It turns out...that’s how the missionary work came about? It seems to be something like that.

"Of course, these are all skills learned from experience," Lilina said with a proud look on her face, "Actually, I also deliberately suppressed the spread of information. Otherwise, if it doesn't cause too much noise, there will still be trouble. Preaching is expensive. It's a job of the brain. If you do it too slowly, you may fall off the list. If you do it too hastily, you may get tied to the firewood pile. Although I am not afraid of firewood piles, it is not good for the Crow God Sect to show too much aggression in the early stage. Now the little bird The believers... let's call them believers for the time being. After all, we don't even have an organization. We haven't summarized the first version of the charter yet. Vanilla has to do this by itself, so it can't be done quickly. Now the followers of Xiaoniao are still concentrated in the southern mining area. It spreads out to several small towns, and what the missionary needs to do is to lay a solid foundation. Then the fanatical believers will naturally spread it from ten to ten, and this is the difference between the True God Religion and the cult: we have real materials."

I turned my head and looked at little Devin sitting next to me. Little Crow, who was still a little ignorant of the world, was concentrating on a box of canned dried fruits brought by Qianqian, trying to unscrew the lid of the can with her inflexible hands until she accidentally crushed the entire can. He noticed someone looking at him next to him. The little crow immediately turned his head, looked at me with his red eyes floating with a strange light, and said happily: "Gah!"

I pressed the little crow's head and said seriously: "First, you must get used to greeting others in human language. Second, even if you are not used to greeting others in human language, you must remember that you are a crow, not a duck... …”

The little crow nodded happily: "Gah!"

I sighed and looked at Lilina: "Speaking of which, how far do you plan to do this work? When Little Crow is here and his followers are all over the world? This is not a matter of time, right?"

"Of course not," Lilina waved her hand immediately, and then pulled Vanilla over, who was wandering in a daze. "First of all, this job must be handed over to Vanilla. Although she is a bit slow, I think she is quite capable. Talented, now she is the chief priest of the Crow God, not me. In addition, as long as we leave some miracles in a world, and leave one or two things of the bird to provide contact, we can return to the Shadow City to control the progress here Now, I'm trying to see if I can train a few assistant officiants, but to be honest, it's quite difficult. Although the town in the south can find a few good people, it's a pity that it can't find a few knowledgeable and strong people. They are ordinary people who have been digging sand in the mines all their lives. Otherwise, they would not have been able to run to other cities when the mines collapsed. Hey, hey, let's think about it in the long term..."

"Have you made any progress in your research?" I took out a handful of peanuts to tease the stupid bird, and said casually, "As for this guy's magical power, can those believers obtain the power of the stupid bird through prayer or other methods? ?”

"It should be... ok, according to my observation," Lilina scratched her hair and seemed a little unsure, "After all, the Xiling Divine System is different from the two existing divine systems, and it is still in its infancy. My experience is a bit behind the phenomenon. In short, followers of the Crow God do have the phenomenon of gaining power or blessings. You have seen the cat named Rabbi, she was the first group of people to follow the Crow God. Until now It didn't take long, about seven or eight days. I kept letting her have as much contact with the bird as possible, including praying, taking care of daily life, eating and sleeping together - in order to let them get in touch early, I also let the two When people take a bath together, six or seven times a day, the cat becomes hydrophobic: even though cats don’t like water in the first place.”

I rolled my eyes at Lilina and thought to myself, this girl is not going to run the Crow God Sect as a bathhouse...

"Now that cat is much stronger than before. You can't even imagine what she looked like back then: she was so thin that she could squeeze out of the window. But now she can kill seven or eight fully armed orc soldiers alone - if that If the cat was not frightened and cried, this change was caused by the power of the Crow God, but I am not sure whether it is because of praying or because of living together all day long. It may be both reasons. In addition, there are two other cats in the town. A believer who knew some magic, they seemed to have established a connection with the bird after praying. One of them accidentally touched the doorway of shadow magic: there is no shadow magic in this world, so the believer's power is definitely borrowed from the bird. Come. The other one has not mastered the new magic, but his existing power has been greatly improved. He was originally just a charlatan who could fool the people in the fields, but now he went to a nearby big town to get a mage professional qualification appraisal. He was fooled three days ago. I came back after taking the self-study examination as a second-level mage..."

Me: "..." Can anyone explain to me what a weird thing it is to take the self-taught second-level mage exam?

"In short, mortals can really gain some power by praying to the Crow God with concentration and strengthening their relationship with the Crow God in their hearts," Lilina concluded. "But this process is extremely unstable, and some people become Being physically strong, some people become more magical, some people simply gain knowledge of another world, and some people even suddenly master the technology of eating, drinking and talking at the same time... Don't laugh, this is true Yes, I'm worried about this now - the power of the bird is given to the mess. You can't help but say that this is a characteristic of God, but... have you ever heard of the God of Grocery Stores?" (To be continued.
