At the foot of Shushan Mountain, there is the main road up the mountain.
Two figures, one big and one small, came to the long steps of the mountain.
On the steps, a seventeenth-level bronze-bone warrior stood motionless.
With the soul fire in its eyes constantly swaying, it sensed the approach of its master, but other than the soul fire swaying, it stood motionless on the long steps like a statue.
If it were a ghost, a black warrior, or a bone mage here, they would definitely show their loyalty to their master in their own way at this moment.
But as the most inconspicuous skeleton among the undead, with only a low-level IQ, although they are humble and not valued by any high-ranking undead, they still abide by the last order given to them by their master.
Bronze Bone didn't worry at all whether he would displease his master because of his dedication to his duties.
Because from the perspective of their low IQs, they must strictly implement their master's orders, even if they are to die!
This is loyalty!
"Order 1. Strictly implement the previous order. From now on, two days later, humans will no longer be prevented from going up the mountain. However, if there is provocation or attack by humans, they will be killed on the spot without reporting!"
"Order 2. Kill all non-human creatures within sight."
Qi Lin looked at the bronze bone, and the order he had given it and an archer halfway up the mountain flashed through his mind.
"Sure enough, only the undead who are always loyal are trustworthy."
Qi Lin thought silently, lowered his head and saw the five characters he had carved because of the bearded man Fan Zhong: Anyone who climbs the steps will die!
"Let's go." Qi Lin shook his head and led the child to continue walking up the mountain.
At this moment, people are coming and going on the mountaineering road.
In the Palace of Purity, the most important thing to judge your status is: whether you can climb Shushan Mountain, whether you can reach the top of the mountain, and whether you can reach the edge of the viewing platform.
There are many people who can climb Shushan, including some middle-level managers with some connections.
But very few can reach the top of the mountain.
Fan Zhong is the only one who can reach the edge of the observation deck where the high priest likes to stay for a long time.
It was cold all over the mountain climbing road at this time, and everyone was hunching their necks, holding their arms and shivering.
The sudden drop in temperature made them keep complaining: "Praise the Palace Master! Why is it so cold today? When will this damn world transformation end!"
"Praise the Palace Master! Who knows, remember to bring a coat when you come back."
"Praise the Lord of the Palace! The coat was fine a while ago, but damn, the temperature today is going to be below freezing, right? You need to wear a cotton-padded jacket!"
The way everyone crossed their hands on their chests while talking confused the child.
Previously, we were at the snack street and the movie theater.
The children would listen to everyone they met praising the temple master.
Those people all praised the Skull God, and the Skeleton God gave them protection.
They all praised the high priest for not abusing his power and never bullying others.
The child thought of the skeleton at the foot of the mountain just now, and grabbed Qi Lin's black cloak with his little hand and gently tugged on it.
The latter stopped and looked down at the child: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Di blinked his eyes and looked at the people coming and going around him who seemed a little scared. He pressed his body against Qi Lin's cloak and then whispered: "Uncle, is there really a god in this world?"
Qi Lin was stunned. He didn't know why the child would ask this.
But when he glanced at the words praising the Skeleton God from the people of the Palace of Purity who were coming and going around him, he understood.
Qi Lin snorted and replied: "There is no such thing as a god. He is just an extremely ordinary person who was created by a liar in a daze."
There was a hint of disdain in Qi Lin's words, and he did not hide his voice.
Those who can embark on this path have a basic level between level five and level nine.
Their hearing has also been enhanced to a certain extent with their increased physical fitness.
Qi Lin did not lower his voice as he spoke, so the words were easily heard by the people around him.
Everyone around him stopped and glared at Qi Lin.
It seems that Qi Lin's words insulted their beliefs
However, no one dared to stand up and accuse them, because they had just finished a meeting. The content of the meeting was to pay attention to the newly arrived Chosen Ones. They must be treated politely and not cause trouble.
After all, they know more or less about pretending to be pigs and eating tigers.
At this moment, they are responsible for conveying the contents of the meeting to various strongholds at the foot of the mountain. The truly powerful people are still holding meetings on the mountain.
So combined, they only expressed their dissatisfaction by glaring at Qi Lin, but no one stood up to accuse or yell at him.
Seeing this, Qi Lin sneered, then lowered his head and said to the child who seemed to understand but no one else: "Did you see, there is no God at all, just an ordinary person. If there is a God, no loyal believer will When someone hears someone speaking harshly about their God, nothing can be done."
Let’s not talk about the child’s half-understanding.
The faces of everyone who stopped and glared at Qi Lin turned red.
Qi Lin is right.
For these people, they have never seen the skull god that the high priest talks about all day long.
Even the name Skeleton God was just a skeleton before.
They don't know who the Skeleton Man and the Skeleton God are.
They only know that saying 'Praise the Lord of the Palace' or 'Praise the Skeleton God' is a correct answer.
And this answer is enough for them to be successful in various promotion performance.
As for who the skeletons are and can they be protected?
They don't care.
Perhaps Qi Lin's words were too sharp and lifted a certain layer of curtain between them. A middle-aged man couldn't help but stand up and wanted to say something.
"Praise the Lord of the Palace, now that you are here. Woo woo woo."
Before he could speak, his companion on the side covered his mouth and pulled him back.
When his companion pulled him back, he nodded and smiled apologetically at Qi Lin, who was looking at him.
"What are you doing? You can't forget your roots! The master of the palace gave us food, shelter, and education for our children." The middle-aged man looked unhappy.
"Okay, okay, I didn't forget! We just had a meeting, and you forgot the outline of it?" The companion smiled apologetically at Qi Lin again, and then lowered his voice to the man: "Some big shots have come recently. At this juncture, Don't cause trouble! If you cause trouble, aren't you just throwing the blame on the palace master? Think about it for yourself if this is true!"
The middle-aged man was stunned, and soon half of his anger disappeared.
Yes, he's right.
I was angry because the new face was disrespectful to the palace master, but what if that new face was a very high-level Chosen One?
If he had a dispute with that new face, let's not talk about his own future or the future of his children.
Just giving new faces a negative impression of the Purana Palace.
"If the sky falls, there will be a tall person to hold it up. It seems that this person is going up the mountain. He will probably meet the director and others in a meeting later. Can't we just let the big shots handle this matter?"
Seeing that the man had figured it out, the companion comforted him: "Hey! Not all newcomers are like this. After all, we have all received compulsory education for many years. We didn't believe it until we had enough food and shelter."
Although the two of them lowered their voices, even though Qi Lin's hearing was now worse than that of a normal person.
But the ghost still transmitted the conversation back to Qi Lin word by word.
"Let's go." Qi Lin took the confused child and continued to climb the mountain while everyone still stopped and glared.
"Everyone says that skeletons are awesome. What kind of skeleton god do they call him?"
Qi Lin walked and said to the child: "But what I want to tell you is that no matter what others say, you can't believe it all, and you can't disbelieve it."
"As far as this matter is concerned, you have to see with your own eyes whether it's awesome or not. Don't be misled by other people's comments."
"Also, you have to make your own judgment in everything. Don't be blind. You have to stick to your heart."
Qi Lin's voice was hoarse. At this moment, his physical limit was already less than a full point. He felt that every time he spoke, his vocal cords would rub together like rusty iron pieces to produce a sound.
But Qi Lin, who was faltering, continued to face the frowning child who was clutching the hem of his cloak tightly: "Whether it is the advice I gave you before, now or in the future, or the advice given to you by others, it is always just suggestion."
"The road is at your own feet, no one can decide your direction."
After Qi Lin finished speaking, he said no more and just continued to think about how to deal with the Palace of the Rebirth.
After all, it was just an idea. Two teams of Death Archers came to cover and bombard with burning arrows.
still
"uncle!"
The child suddenly shouted loudly, interrupting Qi Lin's meditation.
Qi Lin's figure suddenly stopped in place, with anger rising crazily in his eyes!
If someone else interrupted his thinking, I'm afraid his patience would be exhausted at the moment and he wouldn't be able to say anything.
'kill him! How dare he interrupt your thinking! You have as many black hole fireworks as you need! More than sixty are enough for you to fight your way out of this city! '
'This child is of no use to you at the moment. You can't give him your increasingly scarce experience, otherwise you will die suddenly before you can even wait for the lich and the baby! '
'kill him! He is useless anyway, carrying him is just a burden! '
'Believe me brother! We are one! '
'Believe me brother! I won't harm you! '
The demons in his heart whispered one after another, and Qi Lin roared in his heart: Shut up! Fuck you! I just want to be myself! ! !
The devil's whisper slowly disappeared. Qi Lin took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, then lowered his head and looked at the child.
For two months, Qi Lin did not dare to slack off at all and worked hard to develop, just so that he would have enough strength to fight out of Nanzhili when the demons attacked the city.
But at this moment, Qi Lin, whose strength had grown too much, the previous demonic whispers reappeared.
As for what the merchant said earlier, there are only two solutions to this problem, killing as few people as possible, and solving physical problems as quickly as possible.
"Say." Qi Lin stopped thinking and looked at the child calmly.
The child didn't know what happened to Qi Lin, and said with a cheerful voice: "What my uncle just said is, don't listen to others praising how powerful the skeletons are. We just think that the skeletons are powerful. You have to see with your own eyes whether they are powerful, right?" ?”
"Yes."
The child turned his head and glanced at the people walking around. They were still praising the palace master and the Skeleton God.
In their casual remarks, some of them would mention from time to time that after finishing the work meeting, they would go home and have dinner with their children.
Some of them said that when their family members were waiting for them to eat, their faces were filled with happy smiles.
Some of them said: When they get promoted and the extra contribution points can buy some things for their families, they also look proud and proud.
Some of them said: The human forces there have been slaughtered by the demon species again.
Some of them said: If it weren't for the soldiers of the Skeleton God patrolling around and killing the corpse beasts, the four members of their family would have died long ago.
One of them said: You are so lucky. My family is in the city. I encountered the Skeleton God's soldiers a little late. I was the only one in the family of three who ran out on my own.
Some of them said: I'm sorry, you can marry another one. The incest in your family cannot be cut off from you, but I want you to give in. The master of the palace has said that no force is allowed, and he will be killed without mercy if he finds her together.
They said: All this is brought about by the power of the Skeleton God.
They said: The high priest himself took the lead in all this and was strict with himself.
The people who came and went talked a lot in their chats, and their eyes were full of longing for a better tomorrow.
The child looked away, gently pulled the hem of Qi Lin's cloak with his little hand, and said with certainty: "Uncle, I still think the skeleton is awesome!"
"Why?"
The child pursed his lips, his clean eyes were slightly red, and he said in a low voice: "Because the skeletons have helped many people! You see, some of them can reunite their families and have meals with their families."
"Uncle, if I could be as powerful as the Skeleton Man before, nothing would happen to grandma, right?"
Qi Lin was silent for a moment, just humming slightly without saying anything else.
The child rubbed his red eyes. Although his voice was still a little choked, he still smiled happily and said, "But it doesn't matter! If I am better from now on, I can prevent others from losing their loved ones!"
Xiao Di grasped the hem of Qi Lin's black cloak with one hand and put it on his chest with the other hand.
He managed to raise his head to look at Qi Lin, and there were still undried tears in the corners of his eyes.
The child's small fisted hand waved vigorously: "Sooner or later!"
"Uncle, sooner or later, I will become a more powerful person than the Skeleton Man!"
The child's final voice was loud, as if to emphasize that he would not forget this moment.
And his voice naturally attracted the attention of people walking around.
People cast doubtful glances at this strange combination of one large and one small.
Immediately afterwards
"Hahahahaha!"
"LOL!"
Someone laughed loudly, without concealing the contempt in his eyes. He laughed loudly to his companion: "You little brat has great ambitions?"
"Hahahaha, he doesn't know the power of the palace master at all!"
"I'm afraid this little kid will be so scared that he wets his pants after seeing the palace master's flaming skeleton army, right?"
Everyone is laughing.
Even the people who had just walked nearby and had not heard the child's previous words with their own ears looked at the child jokingly while laughing.
"Kid, remember, our palace master is a skeleton god, not a skeleton man. But since you are young and ignorant, I will forgive you! Hahahaha, how old are you this year? When can you take off your crotchless pants?"
"Hahahahaha!"
"Hahaha! This kid doesn't know the heights of the world, and his words are really interesting!"
"Haha! This means that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!"
Everyone laughed.
Only Qi Lin didn't laugh.
Qi Lin gently rubbed the child's chicken coop-like hair and said with certainty: "Come on!"
The child also pursed his lips, looking at this uncle who was a bit strange but a good person and said happily: "Uncle, let's work hard together!"
