"You also know who the old people in the village will attack when another sacrifice is held! The clan behind them controls the most fields in Yae Village, and the wells we dig are not enough for those water-swallowing giant beasts."
"Okay, I'll think about it for a day."
After Nozawa left, Yaeji lay down directly on the floor regardless of his appearance, looking at the beams supporting the house.
A few days ago, Nozawa asked him to appear in front of everyone as a shrine maiden. He was still a little confused. After calming down and thinking about it carefully in the past few days, I am afraid that they really thought he was this generation of shrine maiden, just because of the Yae family.
The next generation of God Lord has not been announced.
"Haha~"
There was a trace of bitterness on Yae Ji's delicate little face. He could use a full set of Falling Sakura Slash, and he could even control the spiritual sword Sakura Fukiyuki. If he were anyone else, he would also think that 'Yae Ji' is actually the shrine of this generation.
Witch.
It is impossible for people like Nozawa not to consider the issue of gods. I am afraid that he and other members of the patrol team believe that they have seen through their "true identity" and will always support them.
Because in their opinion, his words are an oracle and the representative of the gods in the village. Digging wells and staying on duty at night, and even controlling the team, are all of this just because he, the "shrine maiden", can communicate with the gods?
Some things are bad once revealed.
night.
Yae Ji told Sakura his plan.
After hearing her brother's plan, Yae Sakura felt restless. Her big eyes were full of worry, "Brother, is this possible? I'm not a shrine maiden yet, and I don't know how to communicate with the fox god."
"You try to communicate first. After two days of communication, I will put on my witch costume and pray to the fox god. If nothing happens, I will proceed as planned."
"If the Coco Fox God punishes my elder brother, then"
"It's better than letting those old immortals sacrifice Rin!"
Sakura, who was sitting on her knees opposite Yaeji, lowered her little head, biting her lower lip tightly with her teeth, which was covered with blue and white, and soon a trace of blood red appeared on it.
His two little hands were clenched and placed on his thighs, and his shoulders were shaking slightly.
"It's all useless for me. If I become a miko as soon as possible, I can communicate with the fox god."
Yaeji held Sakura in his arms, "It's all those old immortals who have nothing to do with Sakura."
"elder brother."
"Um?"
"We, let's go and beg Father, he will definitely not let Rin be used as a sacrifice!"
Yaeji was silent.
"Do you think that's possible?"
""
the next day.
Yae Sakura stopped training, put on a candidate miko costume, and quietly prayed in the temple, hoping to communicate with the fox god.
Yaeji explained the situation of the patrol to his father, because all the low-level monsters that have appeared recently are low-level monsters. Except for the three unlucky ones who died in the patrol at the beginning, everyone has been trained to work together to kill low-level monsters like wolf monsters.
Wait for the monster to be completely unharmed.
For this reason, Lord Yae agreed that Yae Ji should act together with the patrol.
That afternoon, Yaeji went on patrol with Nozawa's team.
On the morning of the third day, another patrol team discovered a low-level monster and worked together with Yaeji's team to kill it. Because of the reasonable division of labor, Yaeji didn't even have a chance to experiment.
"There are more and more of these ghosts. Could it be that a big demon died somewhere and was devoured by those ferocious beasts in the mountains and turned into little demons?"
"Who knows? You should ask the great Fox God about this."
"These low-level monsters are too weak. Some large mountain beasts can compete with them. They are much stronger than the corpse monsters, tsk tsk."
Only Nozawa looked solemn as he came to Yaeji and whispered: "This is the third wolf demon we have hunted. Apart from the wolf demon, there is only one wild boar demon. And this wolf demon, I looked very...
Looks familiar."
Yaeji's heart moved, "Tell me and listen."
"Master Ji, you should also have an impression. When we were killing monsters for the first time, a young man named 'Zuo' died in the patrol. Before he died, he blinded a wild wolf's left eye with a knife. You see
This wolf monster."
Yae Ji took a glance, and sure enough, there was a diagonal cut on the dead wolf demon's left eye, which looked like a wound from a human sword.
"That's all the news?"
"Did Master Ji not notice? Except for the first time, when the wolf demon was followed by a large number of wild wolves, the other wolf demons all acted alone."
Yaeji murmured in his heart, he had only encountered it twice, once with him and once without him, what should he say?
"So you suspect that these low-level monsters are artificially mass-produced?"
Nozawa took a breath, "It's not necessarily man-made, but it's very possible to mass-produce it."
Yaeji narrowed his eyes. Now low-level monsters were raging around the village, and the patrols sometimes accidentally let monsters escape. The only low-level monsters they encountered were wild boars and wild wolves.
Why is there so much panic in the village? Isn't it because of these low-level monsters? The villagers thought that they were digging wells to offend the gods. This was a punishment from the gods, so they did not dare to drink the water from the wells.
If there is no fresh water supply, they can only ask for sacrifices from the shrine. And those big clans, for the sake of their fields and their own interests, sacrifice an unrelated little girl. They are all happy, and no one wants to let them suffer because of the fresh water thing.
I have gained nothing this year.
The only sacrifice is
And the old woman added fuel to the fire in order to cover up the mistakes she had committed.
If these low-level monsters are really produced in batches, there must be a "source". If they can eliminate the source
"Come to the shrine tonight and let's discuss it."
Nozawa's eyes flashed: "Yes."
It's night again, in a shrine, in a certain side hall.
The candlelight was dim, and the two figures were reflected on the wall, dark and twisted.
"The strongest elites in the team? But if we fail, Lord Yae may not agree."
"If more than three monsters gather, we will all return immediately and not take any risks. Father, don't worry about it."
Nozawa couldn't make up his mind, "Captain, he is a die-hard loyalist to the Lord God. If we want to take action, the Lord God will definitely know about it."
"Do you listen to him or do you listen to me?" A relatively young voice sounded again, but it had an inexplicable power, "There is also the captain, I will take care of it."
Nozawa breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll be relieved. When will we take action?"
"Tomorrow afternoon at the earliest and the day after tomorrow at the latest."
"good!"
Nozawa stood up and saluted Yae Ji, "In that case, I won't disturb Master Ji."
"etc!"
"Master Ji, what else can you do?"
"Did you catch the person who filled the well a few days ago?"
"They were caught and imprisoned in a warehouse in the village."
"Haha~ It's okay. Let our team members rest and let them dig wells."
"Isn't this good? They will probably resist."
"Resist? Just hit me once. If it doesn't work, hit me twice."
