Andre and Angers took a picture of each other, and the woman cried for a while, then wiped her tears, returned to the earthen house and began to cook. There was an earthen pot on the fire, and there was cooking in it.
Pumpkins and a few potatoes were roasting in the flames, and the woman had obviously recovered.
"Look, the side mission has been triggered." Ander pushed Ange, and the two followed the woman into the room. Ander walked behind the woman, patted her shoulder quietly, and used Charm Human to control the woman.
"Madam, can you tell me why you are crying?" Ander's voice was very soft. The woman was stunned for a moment, said nothing, and looked towards the corner of the house.
The room was very messy and dark. Ander looked in the direction where the woman was looking. A mummy was placed in the corner of the house, piled with some dry firewood. Angers walked over, looking a little solemn.
It was a baby. Its arms were chopped off with a sharp weapon, and its small body was made of wood-like material. It looked like it had been dead for a long time.
"Okay, I'm sorry to bother you." Ander packed his bags slightly and pulled Angers out.
"You don't want to ask more?" Angers was a little surprised. Ander shook his head: "Don't disturb her. There is no point in asking a peasant woman."
"I'm afraid the inside of this Nibelung is not as beautiful as it looks," Ender touched his chin and deduced: "The arms of the woman's child were cut off. This was a method of making magical instruments in plateau Buddhism back then.
"
"If I guess correctly, the culprit is right ahead." Moving along the dirt road beside the field, a Buddhist temple appeared in front of the two of them. Looking at the Buddhist temple, Ander couldn't help but cover his eyes: "Wow,
This is too exaggerated.”
The Buddhist temple in front of me cannot be described as exaggerated. Large tracts of bricks and tiles are covered with gold foil, and dots of gold bricks are paved in patterns. The most interesting thing is the reliefs on the walls of the temple.
It was a creature similar to a Chinese dragon, but its lines were not as smooth as those of the Chinese. It had some Aztec-style coldness, and its curved body was expressed by broken lines.
The gate of the Buddhist temple was tightly closed, and the high red wall made the Buddhist temple a fortress that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, Andre and Ange relied on their physical fitness to climb over the high wall and arrived inside the Buddhist temple.
"Should we go do something serious..." Angers had some objections to Ander's lack of business. He couldn't wait to fight Li Wuyue, but Ander was obviously more interested in the unique culture here.
Now he was holding the gold brick on the floor. After a while, Ender stood up awkwardly. That thing was gold-plated and worthless.
"Let's go inside and have a look. This place is quite interesting." Ender changed the subject calmly. Facing the Nibelung, a dragon king, the right choice was to collect more useful information.
The structure of this temple is very Chinese, even different from Buddhism on the plateau. It has a Chinese-style roof with carved beams and painted pillars, and an incense burner placed on the floor paved with a mixture of gold bricks and stone bricks.
Three candles were burning quietly in the furnace. Ender smelled the smell and his expression turned ugly: "Ugh... these are corpse oil candles."
"I'm afraid there aren't many large animals in the Nibelungs," Angers said quietly, "I haven't even seen an alpaca in this place."
Silently walking away from the three human-oil candles, Ander and the two walked towards the front hall. A monk walked out of the front hall. He seemed to have heard some noise just now, and came out to take a look strangely.
Ender didn't talk much, walked over and used Charm Human to control the monk, and looked him up and down.
Different from traditional monks, this monk has some kind of beast-like totem tattooed on his skin with blue-black paint. It looks like a jaguar. The leopard's claws extend to the side of his cheek, making him look a bit ferocious.
The cassock he was wearing had a golden pendant on it, and he had a string of human bone rosary beads on his hand. He seemed to be of high status.
"Come on, I finally have a guy with a higher status, little bald man, tell me what's going on here." Ender used his charm to control the monk and began to ask about things in the Nibelungs.
The language here is very sharp, with a bit of tropical flavor, and speaks very fast, especially this monk, who is very eloquent.
According to him, this temple is actually the owner of this field, and the farmers who cultivate it are their serfs. The temple inherits the inheritance from his father, and he is the next heir to this temple.
The monk's name is very strange. It is mixed with a lot of complex tongue sounds and breath sounds. When translated into Chinese, it probably means the sharp gaze of a jaguar. It is the name of a nobleman in the Nibelungen.
Like many cults, the sects in the Nibelung firmly believe that the human body has special powers, so they use many magical weapons made of human bones and flesh, which made Ender's eyelids twitch.
Under Ander's control, the monk led the two of them toward the temple. There were not many people in this temple, just the host, his six wives, and five sons. The monk was the eldest son of the family, and the entire temple was
The temple is a model of family inheritance.
"This place exudes an aura of death." Ange looked at the temple building. The two of them were passing by the Main Hall. There was a Buddha statue inside with the body of a dragon and the head of a dragon, standing on the lotus platform, posing in a dancing pose, uu

Ender nodded: "This place has fallen into a Malthusian trap. The population exceeds the agricultural limit and can only be eliminated by other methods."
Angers was silent, the land in this Nibelungen could not support too many people, so naturally, some people would be "optimized" away.
As for where the optimized people went, just look at the rosary beads on the monk's hand.
On the altar table, corn, pumpkins and other grains were placed, and a baby's arm was placed on top, dry and hideous.
Under Ander's control, the monk told the story of the origin of this arm. With a smile, he picked up his arm and showed the baby's black middle finger nail to both Ender. Such children were regarded as such in the Nibelungs.
As a spiritual person, the magic weapon made of this material is the favorite of the nobles in the city.
There are hundreds of similar instruments in this temple alone, ranging from bowls made of human skulls and cassocks made of human skin to rosary beads made of human bones and Vajra pestles made of forearms.
Ender walked around the Buddha statue and saw the countless bones behind the Buddha statue, and was silent for a moment.
"Oh, it's true, I can actually see such a disgusting thing..." Ander suddenly chuckled, looking at the smiling monk who was still in a charming state, and punched him. In an instant, blood splattered in the main hall.
A headless corpse fell slowly, knocking over the incense candles and tributes on the altar table. Ender looked at the Buddha statue with a dragon head and human body in front of him. Flames emitted from his hands, and the wooden building slowly burned.
Noisy sounds came from outside the temple. Ander walked out of the hall. The abbot and monks in the temple could not see him, but they could see the burning hall.
"I saw dirty things," Ender walked towards the people in front of him: "So... you all go to hell."
