Chapter 1406: The Suspicious Dark Moon War, the Suspicious Goddess

I still have to spend the night in this village tonight - and it's still at the stupid big man's house. ※The plan is to stay here for three days, and wait for the louse spirits sent by Bingtis to figure out what the Heaven and Earth Bridge is and find clues to the goddess's power before deciding where to go next: it may be to the imperial capital, or it may be to see the moon. Look at the situation. Now I have realized that this mission is more complicated than I thought at the beginning. Although the mission scope should be on these two planets, the whereabouts of the artifact is unknown, plus there is an inexplicable "goddess", which makes Bing Old people like Teece also seemed confused. It’s still the same sentence: Power may not solve all problems. If you want to say that the universe is facing the end and I have to save the world, it’s okay. At worst, I can lead the seven legions to sweep it. I have the confidence to defeat the army of fallen apostles. Drag it to the Empire area, but if you want me to find a Protoss USB flash drive on two planets that no one has seen and there are no clues, it will be troublesome. Many things cannot be solved by being able to fight or resist. Can Pandora fight? Now I let my sister train me so I can fall asleep at 10:30 at night...

Although I'm still at the big fool's house, I feel embarrassed to continue to occupy the main room tonight. Although I'm a guest, I still feel bad about sleeping on my own bed and letting the owner sleep on the straw kang in the side room. Those cooties have figured out that the magicians and arcanists in this world can use secret techniques to carry a large amount of luggage. Naturally, we will be able to take out the beds and the like that we carry with us in front of the stupid guy. ——I know it’s a bit hypocritical for people who travel to take a solid wood bed with them, but who said that my sister helps pack everyone’s luggage? I didn't take out the seventeen-piece pine wood dining set for the guest bedroom because I had considered the stupid guy's endurance. Lin Xue even moved out a pool table and put it in the courtyard on the spot, inviting the stupid guy and the black cat to join him. Playing...

The poor big man watched in amazement as we quickly found out weird furniture that could fill his house. Naturally, he no longer insisted on giving up the two main rooms to the guests, but he was not stupid. Still thinking about something: "Why didn't you take these out last night?"

I had already thought about my explanation: "Last night you didn't even let me finish my words before you ran to the side room and blocked the door. We can't go over there and tear down the door and drag you out to change rooms, right?"

This is all true, but the details must be discussed. However, I feel that with the stupid memory, he may not be able to remember clearly what happened 24 hours ago. What we said and did at that time was to him They are probably all blurred: after all, he only remembers one word of our names, and he can’t say yet whether he has forgotten them...

The psychic cat looked at me deeply again, his eyes full of questions and doubts. Let her see it, I don't believe that a cat can guess that the people in front of it are from another world!

At this time, Miss Lin had already set up the pool table she brought from home and set it up in the yard. Three of the four legs under the table were padded with wood chips of varying thicknesses. Qian Qian was holding the club and taking a stab at it, while Visca was behind Qian Qian giving blind ideas. The eldest lady sent a second invitation to the owner of the room: "Silly man, Xiao Hei, do you two want to play billiards?"

From the moment Lin Xue placed the weird big "table" in the courtyard, the silly guy's eyes were attracted to it from time to time. Of course he had never seen such a thing, and most likely he thought it was an ordinary table at first: it is normal for country people to set up a table in the courtyard and eat directly in the courtyard when the weather is hot. He must not have thought of this thing. In fact, it is a plaything. When Lin Xue greeted him for the first time, the silly big man was too shy to agree because of his restraint. At this time, he saw Lin Xue and Qian Qian already playing there, and his curiosity was piqued. Watching a bunch of colorful balls spinning around on the green velvet table. Everyone and the cat were surprised: "What is this?"

"Don't worry about anything, it's just for fun anyway," Bingtis waved his hand, "You always have to find ways to kill time when you're bored outside. Why don't you go up and try a few?"

"Wait, wait, wait," the psychic cat Xiao Hei jumped lightly to the edge of the table, his green eyes staring at Lin Xue's batting action, "Let me understand the rules of this first. Every time You can only use the white ball to hit other balls?"

If you don't look at the appearance and just listen to the sound. I definitely don't believe this is a cat! She has already seen that these balls are not hitting each other randomly!

I touched Bingtis's arm: "Sister Bing, why don't you go up and fight? Aren't you interested in everything?"

Bingtis patted his chest: "I can't lie down. I am born with a hitting angle that is 30% less than yours. It's boring to play."

Qian Qian and Lin Xue, both of whom had very good ears, glared at her with vicious looks - it was really hard for Qian Qian, who had always been out of her mind, to think like a normal girl for once.

I have to say that Qian Qian's playing skills are extremely poor. In fact, I doubt whether this girl knows how to play billiards. According to her usual style, there is a high chance that this girl is just joining in the fun, and Lin Xue... surprisingly... The eldest lady’s playing skills look even worse than Qian Qian’s! The two of them must be playing normally without special abilities, so they took turns playing there for a long time. How many balls should there be on the table, and apart from the ones that were knocked away at the beginning, how many were left? The ball didn't even move, and I figured it out at the end: there weren't even rules for eight-ball, nine-ball, snooker, etc. The only rules that made sense were the rules that Black Cat saw at the beginning: only They could use the white ball to hit other balls. Other than that, the two girls really just had a blast. Fortunately, they were still in high spirits.

When the stupid guy almost understood the situation and was gearing up to play, something unexpected finally happened——

A small green figure swooped out of my pocket and lay on the black ball to greet everyone: "Good morning Ajun! Good afternoon Qianqian! Good afternoon Lin Xue! Dingdang is awake! When are you going to eat?"

This little thing had been sleeping in a daze all day. At this time, he was awakened by the sound of billiards and jumped out without even looking at his surroundings!

The black ball chosen as the landing point was just a few centimeters away from Xiao Hei. The psychic cat was startled and jumped to the side with a "meow": "What is this! Are there dragonflies that can talk?" !”

I quickly stood next to Xiao Hei and looked up at the sky, but after waiting for a few seconds, I didn't see the divine thunder falling. Then I realized: This world is not Dingdang's territory, and it is far away from the world of gods. The divine punishment system may not be in the service area...

"Yeah, is there anyone?" Dingdang felt that something was wrong in the surrounding atmosphere. She stepped on the black ball and rolled around on the table as if performing acrobatics. After circling around, she saw someone with eyes as wide as a walnut. A psychic cat with explosive fur all over his body. The little thing was suddenly in a daze, and fell off the billiard ball in a mess. Finally, it rolled on the ground with a black ball and fell into the billiard bag. There was a hurried sound from under the billiard table. Qianqian touched Lin Xue's arm: "Does this count as a point?"

Lin Xue stared blankly at the table hole where Ding Dong and the ball disappeared together: "But the green ball had already been scored just now?"

"...I said that black ball..."

"Oh, let's give Ding Dong a point, she can't use the club anyway."

I didn't expect that Dingdang would be exposed in this situation. Because there is no creature like her in this world. The little one is not used to disguises and other means of invisibility (mainly because of her intelligence, she might forget about disguise at some point), so I told the little thing not to come out and fly around. She didn't stand out much anyway, and she was quite comfortable living in her pocket as long as she had candy to eat. She readily agreed to this request.

But let’s expose it now. It’s not a big trouble: it’s easier than world peace.

I reached out and took out Dingdang, who was already squeezed by the billiard balls, from the billiard bag. I put her on the table and introduced her to the stupid guy and the black cat: "Her name is Dingdang. Don't worry about what species she is." Anyway, she is my traveling companion, we met in a far away place. Besides, she is really not a dragonfly, so don’t say this nonsense, especially kitten, you should pay special attention to her."

I'm very worried about whether the psychic cat can withstand the power of a thunder if the divine punishment system suddenly comes online. Theoretically, low-level divine punishment can only scare people without harming their lives, but it is not a big deal if a thunderbolt comes down and burns all the hair of people. This cat spirit is like a human. When the time comes, the physical damage will be calculated or the person's clothes will be compensated. ? The former is medical expenses. The latter is the mental damage fee...

"Is this the legendary ancient race?" Black Cat nervously moved up to it and touched Ding Dong's wings with its paws. "The Dark Moon War caused many small ancient races to hide from the world. Most of them There is no way to fight a war. Some races have never been known to exist from beginning to end. I think this little one... fits the criteria."

I immediately followed her tone and said: "Well, it should be. Anyway, I found her in a primitive forest, surrounded by hundreds of miles of deserted people." Not a word of this was a lie.

The stupid guy immediately looked at me with admiration: "Master scholar, you have really traveled all over the world!"

"You'd better take her away," the black cat carefully touched Tink with its furry paw. Although the latter happily hugged the cat's paw to express affection, Xiao Hei couldn't help but take two steps back. "The body looks about the same size as a mouse, I can't control myself..."

I quickly grabbed Dingdang and stuffed it into my pocket: Little Paopao had learned from the past when he put this little thing, which was only twelve centimeters tall, into his mouth. Dingdang's size is indeed prone to various accidents.

"Dingdang is hungry!" The little guy poked his head out of my pocket and asked for food. I took out a small round biscuit for her to nibble on, and reminded the little guy not to drop the scum into his pocket, while continuing to watch Qian Qian and Da Ding. The lady played billiards and wondered how long it would take for them to knock all the balls into the bag. At this time, the stupid guy finally rubbed his hands and said somewhat cautiously: "Can I try?"

"Of course, I just called you," the eldest lady handed the cue to the stupid guy, "note that you can only hit white balls, there are no other rules. We are all playing around anyway."

The silly, big bear-like figure with big hands and feet could only hold the club carefully with three fingers. He imitated Lin Xue's behavior just now and lay awkwardly beside the table. His momentum was like a tiger seizing a dragon. Pan Lai describes it as follows: From behind him, only half of the table can be seen.

Then we heard a "pop" sound, and the onlookers were all stunned: all the balls on the table had not moved anywhere.

"Ah, it's broken for you." The stupid guy exclaimed and raised the cue. The white ball was stuck on the top of the cue. It looked like a lollipop with serious imbalances. Dingdang looked up and saw this scene. , smacking his lips and crawling into another pocket to look for candy: his appetite is aroused.

I:"……"

The stupid guy was at a loss and took the ball off the cue. When he put it back on the table, he found that it could no longer roll normally. He suddenly had a very embarrassed look on his face: "I didn't mean it. Why did you poke it like this?" Is it broken?"

Bingtis' eyes stayed on the silly big man for a moment. At that moment she seemed thoughtful, but soon returned to normal. The female hooligan waved her hand carelessly: "It's okay, it's just a ball. I have plenty here."

As she said that, she actually took out a lot of round balls about the same size as billiard balls from her pocket, and threw them on the table: "You can poke these balls as much as you want, and I guarantee they won't break."

I took a closer look and found that the balls were golden and translucent. There are also many small red stars made with special techniques. Some have one star, some have two stars, and the most is seven stars...

"Dragon Balls?" I looked at Bingtis dumbfounded, and the latter nodded: "Yes, they are made of Lin's scales."

I was sweating profusely: "Can we summon Lin with seven of them or something?"

"Seven of them weigh exactly two kilograms. Other than that, they don't have any special features. Oh, by the way, they are very hard."

I was speechless. The stupid guy threw the club in his hand on the table, rubbed his hands with an embarrassed look on his face and said, "I won't play anymore. What if I break this wooden stick again."

As soon as he finished speaking, we suddenly heard a thunderbolt in the clear sky, which shocked everyone. The silly guy looked up at the sky: "Hey, is it going to rain? It's not common this season."

I thought about it, and thought it couldn't be the divine punishment caused by the little black cat just now: the delayed packet loss was too serious, not only was I ten minutes late, but I also couldn't find the target?

It soon became clear that this was not divine punishment. Because the sky was indeed darkening at a speed visible to the naked eye, and within a short time it looked like a heavy rain was coming. Everyone quickly put away the table and other things, while the big fool ran to carry the rawhide hanging in the yard back to the small warehouse next to it, and then we rushed to each house under the cloudy sky. When my front feet reached the eaves of the side house, the heavy rain followed my rear feet and hit the ground. Everyone and the stupid guy waved to each other across the steamy yard. After the man and the cat entered the house, we returned to our temporary residence for the night.

Qian Qian and Lin Xue have decorated this place like a presidential suite: they even put a layer of small star wallpaper on the wooden ceiling. I 10,000% believe that Qian Qian used special abilities when decorating the room.

As mentioned before, this side house located opposite the main house only has one floor. In fact, it is a very large wooden shed with no rooms inside. Lin Xue and Qian Qian used alloy plates to divide the place into independent rooms. There are small cubicles, and tonight it looks like everyone is sharing one. But it was still early to rest, and our biological clock was obviously not in sync with the locals’ biological clock of going to bed at eight o’clock, so we all gathered in the largest “room” to study today’s harvest.

Bingtis casually slapped the black leather Bible she got from Ron on the table, and the smell of meat suddenly filled the air. When I got this book, I had already scanned it and uploaded it to the data network. Now the text on it has been translated, and the server program responsible for translating it has also sent a smart font that can be called instantly. With the help of the smart font, in the future, When we look at the world's reading materials, we can directly call up a set of bilingual subtitles in our minds. Bingtis read this big book in her free time today (do you still remember that Sister Bing actually likes it very much?), so she was the first to speak: "I have basically understood the ins and outs of the Goddess Cult. Now I will summarize the three Point. First: 100% of the power worshiped and borrowed by the Goddess Cult comes from the star field artifacts. Our investigation direction is correct. Second: 90% of the 'goddess' mentioned by the Goddess Cult may have actually appeared, but she is obviously He is not the same god as the scout who died in the battle, nor is he the reincarnation of a remnant soul. The third and most suspicious point is: there is something wrong with the Dark Moon War. The Goddess Sect is quite normal in other aspects, except for the Dark Moon War. , various explanations are unclear. Following this clue, maybe we can figure out what kind of existence the 'goddess' they believe in is, and the source of this goddess's power. In the end, we will find this source, ten If there are eight or nine, then it is a divine weapon."

Bingtis's words were clear and coherent, pointing out a direct path to solve the problem for us: If you want to find the artifact, you must find the core of the belief of the Goddess Religion, that is, the "goddess", and that goddess does not appear often, and we have not found that there is one here. As for the traces of the so-called "gods", we must look for clues from the Dark Moon War. There have been several goddesses in the history of this world. Each time the goddess appeared as a savior at the end of the Dark Moon War, but each time the world was not saved yet - this alone is enough to make people doubtful.

In fact, it is not just the "goddess" who is always saving the world that is suspicious. I feel that even the records of the first Dark Moon War are not necessarily historical facts.

Everyone still remembers what Ron told about the world before the Dark Moon War, right?

How could such a rapid and violent war break out in an "age of heaven" described as "peace, friendship, and unity"? And not long after the war started, all races in the world from the earth to the moon announced their participation in the war, and quickly divided into two camps?

The war situation is rapidly escalating, and the two camps are quickly divided and opposed. How does this look like they have long-standing grievances...

But when I was thinking about how many secrets this Dark Moon War would hide, Bingtis suddenly brought up something that seemed to have nothing to do with the current topic: "Hey, what do you think of this stupid guy?"
