After turning into a gecko, Yi Liuling manipulated Blake to arrive at Jug's residence. It was already around three in the morning, but the latter had no intention of falling asleep. He stood by the window, staring quietly at the ornamental flowers planted in the garden, like a sculpture.
"Gecko?" Just when Yi Liuling was hesitating to attract his attention, Jug noticed him first. He spat out a slightly surprised Gelug word from his mouth, then picked up a book at hand and started talking. Swatted at Blake on the wall.
not good! Yi Liuling was about to escape, but found that the loud slap was just from the front part of the book colliding with the wall. The jug's fingers pressed between the book and the wall, leaving a gap big enough for Yi Liuling. Space for geckos to survive.
So Yi Liuling understood and asked Blake to pretend to be dead and fall to the ground.
The jug showed a look of disgust, took out a handkerchief and wrapped the "gecko corpse" on the ground, then returned to the window, shook the balled up handkerchief, let the contents fall into the flower bed, and then closed the window .
As expected, he learned a lot of strange techniques in order to please Ah Man!
Yi Liuling, who was magically transferred from the handkerchief to the pocket of her nightgown by the jug, thought to herself.
At this time, Jug seemed to have finally fallen asleep, yawned, returned to the bed and lay down.
Through her pocket, Yi Liuling felt that the light outside had dimmed. It must have been the wine bottle that turned off the light. However, he did not act rashly, because the flagstone's somewhat covert behavior showed that he was probably being monitored. If Blake just climbed out, then all the efforts just now would be in vain.
"Very smart," the voice of the jug sounded, using standard common language, and it was different from the flat tone he used when he went to provoke outside Rhett Academy. It sounded very reliable, "Don't make any moves next. Just listen to me, don’t worry, I know what you want to ask.”
The wine pot's appearance of being both under control and very mysterious reminded Yi Liuling of the chamber pot again. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the chamber pot looked the same as the witch pot, he would have suspected that the chamber pot was actually the child of the wine pot.
"Let me explain the current situation first," Jug continued, "I am the leader of the Tekovov Cult you are looking for, although I don't have any real power."
Is the wine pot the leader? Yi Liuling was shocked. It wasn't that he didn't want to ask questions, but firstly, the jug had said that he had better not move now, and secondly, after Black became a gecko, he couldn't speak like the leopard parrot before, so he could only continue to be quiet. listen.
Jug's next words cleared up Yi Liuling's doubts. It turned out that the foundation of the Tekovov Cult, the Qingyun Libicha, was an insect swarm creature with a leader. This creature was originally brought to Gru County more than a hundred years ago by a woman. The woman was called the Insect Girl by the teapot. Although she looked like a human, her face had the characteristics of an insect, so she was revered as the "Insect Girl" at that time. She is also called the saint of the Church of Chuchiappa.
Bug girl? Yi Liuling went through the mission objectives in her mind, and was probably sure that this was the person she was looking for, but it turned out that she was the one who brought Qingyun Lijuanchan? Then she can't be some kind of Zerg Queen, right?
"The insect girl is the maid of a person. I don't know who that person is," Jug continued. "In short, she brought a king insect and many insect eggs, and made a deal with the then Lord of Gru City. "
Jug does not know the specific content of this transaction. He only knows that all the insect eggs will eventually be used on those deceived believers, and then use their flesh and blood as nourishment to grow into adults, and then transform into king insects. of fuel. The king insect will also lay eggs and nutrient eggs regularly for subsequent cultivation.
Due to the king insect's innate control over other ordinary green cloud chestnut cicadas, people parasitized by the king insect can read the memories of all people with implanted insect eggs, including nutrient eggs.
This is the secret of the ability of the Tecwolf Cult to share vision, but ordinary believers only have nutrient eggs in their bodies, and only those selected believers who have made great achievements or have good qualifications can be awarded insect eggs. Once the eggs are implanted, the hatched larvae will swallow the nutritious eggs in their bodies, quickly grow cicada wings, and then begin to absorb the host's life energy.
As for the formula Yi Liuling saw before, it is because once the host dies, the Qingyun chestnut cicada will develop into a mature body at the current stage, and high-level "food ingredients" are much more beneficial to the king insect than low-level ones. . Therefore, for those who are qualified to cultivate insects better, the insect girl will give them special nutritional medicine so that they can live longer.
However, insect girls are not human and cannot be used to cultivate king insects, and king insects do not kill their hosts like ordinary insects under normal circumstances. Therefore, in order to make the transaction more stable, the Lord of Pot City selected one of his children to be the host of the king insect, and also became the leader of Techwolf.
However, although being parasitized by the king insect will not lead to death, it is not uncomfortable. The host must accept the king insect at a very young age and endure long-term torture until it adapts to the king insect. Otherwise, it will suffer from rejection as an adult. And die. In addition, once parasitized by the king insect, the host will definitely not be able to contract the natal item.
The host of King Insect's generation is Jug, so Jug doesn't know if he will be qualified to contract his natal items if he grows up normally.
When he said this, Jug's tone was full of yearning.
Originally, the jug was willing to sacrifice for the family, and the previous host had not affected his offspring due to the king insect, so he could still get married and have children like normal people. At that time, he had a childhood sweetheart with whom he was in love, the daughter of a nobleman in the city named Aman, and Teapot also promised to marry her to him as compensation.
However, everyone knew what happened later. Because of a woman with an unclear origin and an illegitimate child that did not exist, Aman became a victim of power. Of course, at that time Jiupot still had to accept this reality amidst Teapot's complaints that his subordinates were not so obedient, so they lived in peace for three years.
Then came the birth of the chamber pot, where the jug told Yi Liuling an astonishing fact: Qi Xiang'er was accompanied by the jug throughout the whole process of getting off the chamber pot as a traveling student.
Unlike Teapot, which attracts all the attention, and Witchpot, which everyone in the city lord's palace pays attention to, Jiupot, as a well-known playboy, is not surprised to wander around everywhere, so Teapot entrusted this task to him.
"The city lord said that Qi Xiang'er's child may not be able to survive or may even be stillborn. If such a thing happens, I must use the name of Wu Hu to comfort her and ensure that she takes good care of her health." Jiu Hu continued to narrate calmly. , privately he did not want to call the teapot his brother, which was very similar to the chamber pot, "But if the child is healthy, let me bring the child back and kill Qi Xiang'er."
Can only one mother and child live? Considering what the chamber pot had said before, Yi Liuling felt more and more that Wu Pot wanted to use a healthy Qi family member for special purposes. Later, it was probably because the chamber pot was well raised that she abandoned Qi Xiang'er.
But why did these two people finally come back alive?
"When Xiaoye was born, although he was full-term, he was very thin and dying. I guessed that he would die soon, so I followed the city lord's instructions and tried to persuade Qi Xiang'er, but she gave me a concession I was surprised by the reply.”
Jug closed his eyes, and the complex expression that appeared for the first time on that beautiful yet mean woman's face appeared in his mind.
"You are lying to me. This child must live." Qi Xiang'er said to the jug, "He doesn't love me. Without this child, what else would I have left?"
Then, the weak Qi Xiang'er struggled to pull out the necklace around her neck. This was also a space prop, but the internal space was very small, and it existed more as a decoration. This was one of the few gifts given to her by the Witch Pot, and she had been carrying it close to her body since the day she received it.
"Qi Xiang'er took out a bottle of medicine from the necklace and drank it for Xiaoye. Xiaoye came to life and exuded a strange aroma." The jug said, "I don't like this smell very much, because it harms me. The dancer who lost everything also smells like this.”
