Chapter 1,407 Recruitment?

While everyone was immersed in thinking about the Goddess Cult and the Dark Moon War, Bingtis suddenly mentioned something that seemed to have nothing to do with the current topic: "Hey, what do you think of the stupid guy?"

"Silly big guy?" I was a little surprised for a moment, and then I replied nonchalantly, "A pretty straightforward guy, he may have a bit of a genetic mutation compared to the locals, and he is a bit thicker, but his temperament is quite to my liking. r />

"Is it just like this?" Bingtis's eyes turned slightly, and a light flashed in those blood-red eyes, "I suddenly became a little curious about him."

I know that Bingtis is not the kind of person who talks nonsense...not the kind of person who messes around casually...well, she is indeed an unreasonable person, but she should not say unreasonable things now, so she just follows the thought in her heart. Ti: "You don't think that the big man can still be involved in conspiracy, do you? Do you sense something related to the artifact in him?"

"It's not an artifact, it's a detail," Bingtis reminded everyone, "You still remember when he was playing billiards just now, when he suddenly put the white ball on the wooden stick, right? Did you feel anything was wrong?"

I thought it was nothing, and I shrugged when I heard this: "You have great strength, let Lin try it, let alone billiards, she can poke a hole in the earth with just one finger. You stupid guy can kill a bear." All with just one fist, let alone breaking a plastic ball.”

"Sure brute force can indeed accomplish many things," Bingtis smiled enigmatically, "but some details cannot be accomplished by brute force. The billiards that Lin Xue brought are just a set of earthly goods. A billiard cue is a thin wooden stick. If you only have the strength, can you make this blunt thin wooden stick pierce a slippery and hard ball? And more importantly: the white ball is pierced. It didn't move much distance at all, it was penetrated by a thin wooden rod in an instant, and no impact force was wasted."

I reacted. This is equivalent to asking you to split a half-centimetre-thick thin board with your hands. I believe many healthy adults can do it. At most, your hands will hurt after splitting. But what if I put a piece of tofu under this thin board?

What if I ask you to split a thin board so that the tofu underneath doesn't even have any cracks or deformations?

What if I asked you to split a board without making even a single sound, and without leaving even a burr on the split board?

I believe that after making so many requests, the person you want to chop is definitely not the board but me. But let’s not discuss this issue for the time being. What we are discussing is: if there is a person who can do this easily or even unknowingly. If it works, then he needs to learn from those white-bearded old men at the bottom of the cliff for at least how many years...

To be fair. It is not difficult for any of us to use a twig to pierce a plastic ball under the same circumstances. I estimate that from top to bottom in my house, even the unscrupulous fox can pierce any ordinary substance in the world with noodles: And the noodles can also be cooked. But the focus of the problem is: the stupid guy did it! In theory, a fool who has never learned any power control skills other than a lot of strength has done it!

"According to ordinary human standards, it is indeed possible to do the same thing, but it requires years of training and precise control of strength. The strength of the stupid big guy is more than a hundred times that of ordinary people. The training he requires is even more amazing," Bing Thies said slowly, "And even if you can do it, there are two situations. One is to be there with a blushing face and a rough neck, and it takes fifteen minutes to poke a stick to succeed, and the other is to do it casually, with no strength. His extreme control and explosion have reached the point of muscle memory. Big Silly Man falls into the latter category."

I thought about it. I feel a little confused: "He accidentally punctured the ball, so he must have spent a lot of time eating, and this kind of person can easily tear himself apart when stretching..."

Bingtis glared at me: "No one will treat you as a mute because of your two words." Then she analyzed slowly and calmly: "It must be the first time for the big man to come into contact with that thing. He couldn't help but use some skills when he was nervous. . This also proves that he doesn't know what kind of 'skills' he possesses, because any normal fighter will definitely not become a dragon when resisting a gas tank: if you are stupid, it will be on your shoulders. When he threw the gas tank, he did a Shenglong Fist. The move was unintentional, but the move itself was sophisticated."

Qian Qian rolled her eyes and thought for a while. Suddenly he leaned forward with great interest: "Hey, do you think this is the case? The silly big man is actually a legendary master with unparalleled martial arts, and he used to have a wife who accompanied him in the world. The two of them have a very deep relationship. He The wife was good at Bagua Wandering Dragon Palm, and the stupid guy was good at using chopsticks to poke people's vital points. Then one day, an enemy came to kill him, and his wife died in a fierce battle. After the stupid guy killed the enemy, he hugged his wife and cried loudly. From then on, he was overstimulated. He lost his memory. He forgot his martial arts skills and his original name. He only knew that he came from the south and was going to the north to marry his bride. For several years, he traveled around the world in such a muddle, only doing so occasionally. Unknowingly, he revealed his previous peerless chopstick skills. His wife couldn't stand it in the spirit of heaven, so she came to the human world and was reincarnated as a little black cat. The silly big man and the black cat hit it off and depended on each other ever since. Then they went to a place called Pine Forest Village. , the silly guy saw a small river in front of the village, and subconsciously recalled the romantic experience he and his wife had playing by the river with a millstone... A few years later, a group of strangers came to Songlin Village, and the leader was Chen Jun. ——Ajun, you are here!"

Not only was I stupid, but everyone around me was also stupid. We looked at Qian Qian like we were looking at an epic little monster. Bingtis was the first to react. She grabbed Qian Qian's hand and shook it hard: "I admire you so much." Damn you, I’ve seen people in my life who couldn’t figure it out, but I’ve never seen someone who could have so many details when they didn’t figure it out..."

"Don't make trouble, don't make trouble," I waved my hand to interrupt them, "Anyway, Bingtis, what you mean is that the silly big guy hides his secrets - then he should have nothing to do with the Dark Moon War and the Goddess Cult, right?"

Bingtis thought for a while and nodded vigorously: "Oh, yes, let's continue talking about the Goddess Sect."

Everyone: "...cut."

However, even though Bingtis exposed this topic in this way, the hidden side of the silly guy still left a question mark in everyone's mind. How could a rough guy who had been wandering around since he was a child and didn't even know a few Chinese characters acquire the kind of skills that he might not be able to acquire even after years of hard training under the guidance of a famous teacher? This is probably a difficult mystery to solve - maybe two of the things that Qian Qianqian's imagination was making up are actually right?

But this is not what everyone is concerned about right now. We will probably find a way to reveal this secret when we find the whereabouts of the artifact and can stay in this world for a few more days. As for now, the silly big thing can only be put aside.

We put together the Bible and various things we learned during the day and studied them for a long time. Halfway through, Pandora and Viska went to bed first (the biological clocks were adjusted by my sister), leaving the rest of us to continue the discussion. . Lin Xue summed up some things that even Bingtis didn't notice - I'm not sure whether she summed it up through the Goddess Scripture, or whether she used her own ability to directly observe the truth and then picked up what she could say to reveal it. , it sounds reasonable anyway.

"The historical records before the First Dark Moon War are quite suspicious," the eldest lady said, holding the hard cover of the black leather barbecue-flavored Bible with her hands, her expression very serious. "First of all, in this world, it seems that only the Goddess Canon is the only authoritative 'historical document'. As long as the church does not recognize it, everything related to history is regarded as fallacy, or at least distorted history. And in this Bible, about Chapter 1 There are only a few paragraphs about the state of the world before the Dark Moon War: how the goddess created the world. What races were there in the world at that time, how did these races live in peace in the first heavenly era, and how did they finally fight? What happened. This is the entire history before the First Dark Moon War. Don’t you think a lot of things are missing?”

"There are no details, right?" Bingtis was quick-thinking, and she was probably vaguely aware of this. "It mentioned the names of the races and their countries during the Dark Moon War, but it didn't mention the names of these countries at that time at all. Where are they distributed in the world, and their relationship with each other is not mentioned: in this regard, they are all mentioned with the general word "harmony". In addition, there is no mention of how many there were before the first Dark Moon War. Races live in this world. This point is even more omitted. There is only one sentence: many races live on the earth, and some races disappeared after the war - there is not even a rough number."

"Ron's statement is that the war interrupted history," I gritted my teeth. "Of course this is what the church has always said."

Bingtis chuckled: "Hmm, maybe this is not all a lie. According to the scale of the first war, it is normal for historical chronology to appear. It's just that the 'abbreviations' above are too obvious. Some of them can be explained clearly. I deliberately didn’t mention anything about it. It seems that the purpose is to tell the people: your history begins with the first war, and everything before that can be treated as a story. Don’t care and don’t ask.”

Well, Bingtis summed it up well: purposefulness. The things recorded in the Goddess Canon do have a very obvious purpose. The things after the first war are normal, but the things before the first war have obviously been artificially modified into "stories". By abbreviating those things, they can enhance the reality. The sensitive details induce the public not to investigate the history before the war. This method is actually quite easy to understand. If I tell you a story and set out for you the historical background, characters, customs and culture at that time, and even the world map at that time, then nine times out of ten you will really think that this is It is a historical fact, and those with obsessive-compulsive disorder will also investigate the life stories and national geography of each character in this story, but if I give you a piece of history, it is as simple as "It is said that there was a mountain once upon a time, and there was an old man on the mountain. "King", then you must have listened to it as a fairy tale. I guess no one in this world has really studied the national political system and social contradictions in the Snow White era...

The religious classics issued by the Goddess Sect are doing just this: compiling the world history before the First War in the form of fairy tales, subtly diluting the existence of that period of history.

But we look at this religious classic from the perspective of a bystander, so we can see at a glance the problem of poor connection between the first chapter and subsequent chapters, but ordinary people in this world may not be able to see it. Of course, it is not ruled out that there are senior obsessive-compulsives and religious reformers in this world. These two fearless creatures can definitely see the tricks in the goddess' scriptures. People from other worlds are not all fools - but I guess these smart people have been betrayed by heretics. The judging panel is buried in various places around the world, so there will be no discussion.

Qian Qian quickly lost interest in these twists and turns. She lay on the table and yawned: "Just knowing these things may not necessarily allow us to understand the origin of that goddess..."

"The church hid the truth of the First Dark Moon War, maybe just to hide the true condition of the goddess," Bingtis suddenly snapped his fingers. "Have you noticed that this so-called goddess is restrained in taking action?"

Seeing our curious eyes, Bingtis continued to guide: "She can't completely kill the Dark Moon Lord, and can't completely eliminate the Dark Moon people. She can only temporarily close the Heaven and Earth Bridge for hundreds of years, but she can't let the moon and the earth Completely separated. There are two possibilities for this, either she did it on purpose: to keep the Dark Moon people as a threat to maintain the people's belief in herself. But this possibility is not high, because a group of demon armies are too controllable. Worse. Far from being as simple and direct as natural disasters and man-made disasters. Moreover, the five consecutive Dark Moon Wars only drove away but not killed those demons. This would reduce the authority of the goddess. When I was a magic stick, I tried my best to avoid being embarrassed in front of believers. When someone bullies my people, I always want to kill the enemy directly. Then there is only the second possibility: that 'goddess' can't deal with the Dark Moon people at all, and the so-called great victories are just some kind of illusion. I even doubt it. That goddess needs to rely on the Dark Moon War to appear in front of the world..."

I looked at Bingtis with dazed eyes.

The female gangster smiled slightly: "I just thought of it: the first time the so-called 'goddess' appeared in recorded history was during the Dark Moon War, and she only appeared five times in total, at the end of each war. . Combined with the fact that she can only temporarily stop the Dark Moon invasion each time but does not completely repel it, and the goddess sect's various behaviors of deliberately downplaying the pre-war history in the classics... maybe it was 'created' by the first war. The goddess of this deed. Then the artifact we are looking for must have been contacted by the locals for the first time during that war!"

Qianqian was talked around for a long time, and she was already drowsy. She rubbed her eyes and looked at Bingtis: "Why do you all say that I have a big brain? Your diameter is not small either..."

Sister Bing took this directly as a compliment and accepted it with a smile. Then he put away the Bible. The heavy rain outside was still pouring. She looked at the rain curtain outside through the straw pane and stretched slightly: "Okay, we will continue tomorrow. The fastest lice monster has found the Imperial Capital and is now in the major libraries there. After rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, you will have a clue within a day or two. I'm going to bed first, and if you three don't feel ashamed, remember to open the door. I'm ice-cold and pure."

After saying this, the female gangster Ji Liu disappeared immediately. Qian Qian and Lin Xue and I were left looking at each other...

Of course I don't have the nerve to be "not ashamed" as Bingtis said - in fact, even if I have the nerve, it's useless, we know we don't like this here. All in all, it was a speechless night. I slept until dawn the next day, and then...

I was awakened by a burst of noise coming from outside.

It sounded like outsiders had come to the village again. Some villagers were calling people on the street to invite the village chief and the priest to come out. We heard a strong voice shouting outside the yard, which seemed to be saying "gather" What.

I packed up and came to the courtyard. I saw that the others had woken up a long time ago. Lin Xue was squatting on the ground side by side with the black cat and washing her face. Bingtis looked up at the sun in a daze, and Pandora and Viska were standing side by side on the courtyard wall. Watch what's going on outside. I greeted them one by one and found that Qian Qian was not there: "Where is Qian Qian?"

"Coming, coming!" Qian Qian's whirring voice came from outside the courtyard door just as I finished speaking. When the first word "coming" sounded, it seemed that it was still ten meters away. When the words finished, this The girl was already standing in front of me. A silly figure came to the courtyard later. He seemed a little uneasy: "A few soldiers on horseback came outside and said they wanted to find the village chief."

"The old village chief really guessed it right." Qianqian jumped up and down in front of me to attract attention, so I had to focus all my attention on her. "It's a recruiting officer from the northern fortress, asking the village to at least Send out one-fifth of the strong men to report to the fortress and prepare to start a war with An Yue. Ah Jun, shall we watch the excitement?"

"I just want to watch the fun!" After Lin Xue finished washing, she grabbed the little black cat next to her and wiped her hands. She came over and tapped Qianqian's forehead with her finger, then grabbed my arm, "Come on, let's go watch the fun... …”

Everyone: "..."

At this time, many villagers had gathered in the village square. About half of them had heard about the conscription and came out to watch the fun. The remaining half did not know about the conscription but still came out to watch the fun. Old The village chief Koto and the priest Ron, who seemed to be planning to take revenge on society, had already arrived at the scene and were negotiating with the recruiting officer.

Of course I also saw the recruiting officers from the National Knights. There were only three of them, and they were now dismounted and standing on the ground. These three people are basically dressed the same: a half-body armor that looks easy to move around, and a battle robe with a sky blue background and a golden-red sword emblem on the outside. The armor exposed on the chest is smooth and bright, and it has obviously been carefully maintained: this It shows that they are regular knights supported by the state. The three of them all had long swords on their waists, and secondary weapons such as shields were hung on the horses beside them. Because these "recruiting officers" did not wear helmets, I could see their appearance: standing in front of the old village chief was a thick man with thick beard and hair. His skin was slightly darker, but it was definitely fairer than Ron. On the left side of this man was a tall and thin young man. I noticed that this tall and thin man had pointed ears and a handsome and handsome appearance. He seemed to have elven blood, but he was born in the army after all. , even though he is a handsome elf guy, he is not regarded as a public enemy of men by me like Ilson. The third person was a bit unexpected: she was a woman under thirty years old, with red shawl curly hair. Although her military career made her skin a bit rough, her appearance was not bad.

Overall, the image of this recruiting officer is a bit different from what I expected...
