False Cangyun's Hunter's Journey

Next, Kurolo explained the origin of the statue in front of Burning Flame and Ilmi.

"This child is called Kubahar, that is, the 'child goddess'..." Speaking of this, Kurolo pointed to the sculpture on the seat: "Kubahar is a certain figure on the Dark Continent. The gods that the residents believe in are said to be the gods who protect and bless everything...and also the gods who love blood, killing and wealth."

"Kubahar will only be attached to a pure little girl, so he is called the 'child goddess'. The believers build huge and gorgeous temples, stack them with sandalwood, rosin, gold and silk, and display them outside the temple. Perform a life sacrifice to enshrine Kubahar." Kuroro looked at the statue on the altar with burning eyes... as if archaeological researchers had discovered an extremely novel and important discovery.

"Blood and...wealth?" Elmi tilted her head and looked towards the altar.

Kurolo pressed his lower lip with one finger, as if suppressing his excitement: "The girl who is chosen to dress Kubahar is the 'Living Goddess', and she will live in the Goddess in the name of Kubahar. In the temple, enjoy the sacrifices and the service of the maids... It is said that the way to choose a 'living goddess' is to put a little girl who is just 3 to 4 years old into a dark room and stay there from night to dawn."

Opening the parchment in his hand, Kuroro murmured: "Most of the children cry, so they are rejected and taken away by the priest. Only girls who don't cry or make a fuss all night can become 'living goddesses'. The living goddess is dressed in clothes made of gold, red, and purple silk, with a crown of human bones on her head, and a wreath made of human fingers on her waist, walking barefoot."

"The priest will offer her beautiful flowers, and she will bless her with cinnabar, which symbolizes blood... During four fixed festivals every year, the living goddess will walk out of the temple on a sedan chair made of sandalwood, and give blessings to those who have grace. Bless."

"Aluka was determined to have an 'unidentified object' when she was 3 years old... Before that, the child was normal." Ilmi said firmly: "Otherwise we would not allow Kiya to play with Aluka... ...and left memories with each other."

Tilting his head, Yi Ermi said expressionlessly: "As for not crying or fussing, 3 years old is just the time to start 'hide and seek' training. At that time, every child who beat the enemy Hakka would often hide in A dark place—because they were found, they were killed.” After a pause, Il’s fans continued, “Of course, it’s not true...just to scare children, but everyone has been scared like this before.”

Zhuo Yan thought about it, and it seems that Qi Ya also told himself and Xiaojie that "he has been playing hide-and-seek with his life since he was three years old"... It seems that this is the same as the branch in Harry Potter. It’s just an adult’s prank on a child. For a child as young as 3 years old, as long as you walk over with a murderous look, you can scare the child so much that he dare not speak or move... Although it is a kind of training, it is also a kind of bad fun up.

Thinking of this, Zhuo Yan said: "Then the others are fine, is it because you are all boys, and Ya Lujia is a girl?"

Il fans shook their heads: "I don't know at all, but it's not impossible. The 'unidentified object' is too dangerous, and the family knows very little about it... But it's true if you like 'killing' and 'bloody', for To test the ability of 'unidentified objects', many housekeepers and servants died at that time...the most one time, thousands of people died."

"The headband on the head...is the ultra-simplified version of the so-called 'Human Bone Corolla'... No matter how I look at it, I think that thing is made of bone." Zhuo Yan nodded the hairband on the statue's forehead.

"Before the age of 3, Alluka still dressed according to her mother's habits. From the age of 4, she would force various items from the housekeeper or servants... Now she decides to wear the clothes she wants to wear." Paused After a while, the El fan still said: "The dress is the same as the statue."

Kuroro smiled and shook his head: "It seems that things are almost inseparable. The little daughter of the Hakka who beat the enemy became Kubahar's 'living goddess' for some reason, because she lacked the correct method of sacrifice. , so it caused a lot of trouble, and although the 'witch' has the correct method of sacrifice... what he has is only a statue." Look at the construction method of this gorgeous altar, and the top sandalwood used to support the statue... The surrounding silk... Apparently the GM on Greed Island has the right way to sacrifice to the Child Goddess.

"If I use the correct method to sacrifice, can I control the 'Goddess Goddess' to realize various wishes? If it is possible..." Yi Ermi's question is simply a typical way of thinking in the operating system, and the desire to control is almost gone from his dark overflowed from his eyes.

Kuroro smiled knowingly. In terms of desire for control, he is no less than the son who beat the enemy Hakka, but...

Kurolo: "I'm afraid it will be difficult...and we don't have much time in total."

Il fans: "What do you mean?"

Kuroro turned over a page of the parchment in his hand and read the words on it: "The living goddesses who are Kubahar cannot be with their relatives, because they will bring misfortune to their relatives. The living goddesses cannot cry, she Whoever weeps at, and whose family should be martyred to death. The Goddess can't smile at others, and the people she smiles at must be placed in an incense tower made of sandalwood and burned as a sacrifice to Kubaha Er... Tong Shen is moody, she will lower the price or punish the prayer as she likes after praying, and because of bloodthirsty, these prices are often related to the lives of the relatives of the wisher..."

"So... so..." Il fans are also a little excited. To be honest, it is hard for outsiders to imagine the torture of "unidentified objects" for beating the enemy Hakka. For a killer family that attaches great importance to their relatives, it is necessary to put their own little ones to death. It is actually very difficult for the younger sister to be regarded as a "thing".But the lesson of blood made them have to do this again.

After thinking for a while, Ilmi suddenly turned her head and stared at Kuroro: "So, with the information you have now, is there... a way to expel this 'Kubahar'?"

If it can be controlled, it is of course perfect. If not...then the best way is to let that unknown creature go away and leave little sister Alluka behind.

Kurolo smiled and said: "That's why I said 'time is running out', because Kubahar is a 'child goddess', that is to say, she will only cling to pure girls... With the arrival of youthful blood, Kubahar will leave the object of attachment, and at this time, the 'once' 'living goddess' must leave the temple, only wearing a red dress and a gold coin."

"Aluga is only 2 years younger than Kikiya... that is to say... there are at most 5 years before the 'unidentified object' will leave on its own initiative?" Irmi asked after thinking for a while.

"If the development is good, maybe it doesn't take that long... some girls will start at the age of eleven or twelve." Ku Luoluo said cryptically, if the nutrition can keep up, the body can mature quickly, and relatives will come every month The day will come sooner.

"Huh..." Yiermi was silent for a few seconds, then let out a long breath, sat on the ground, and after a moment of daze, he turned his head to look at Burning Flame and Kuroro, and suddenly said with a smile: " This is really the best news I have ever heard... If you can guarantee its authenticity, beating the enemy Hakka can pay any price for it."

"Ninety-nine are inseparable." Kuroro looked at the parchment in his hand, but still raised his head and said: "If there is anything I am not sure about, it is that I don't understand why the gods of the Dark Continent would go far away. The Hakka who beat the enemy thousands of miles away..."

"Probably has something to do with that statue." Zhuo Yan interjected after listening: "Beat the enemy Hakka... Has anyone been to the Dark Continent before?"

Yi Ermi nodded when he heard the words. His great-grandfather was one of the few strong men who went to the Dark Continent and came back alive. Similarly, Nitro also went to the Dark Continent back then.

"The situation of that god probably has something to do with this statue..." Zhuo Yan nodded the statue on the altar: "If the so-called 'god' is understood as a collection of some extremely large ideas, this extremely special The statue of God should be its main carrier...at least one of the important carriers."

Just like the jewelry he made, it is of course the chanting combination embedded in the gemstone that plays a role, but it must be the gemstone that inspires and undertakes the chanting combination and effect.It is not a gemstone of that quality, and it is simply impossible to bear enough intensity.

After thinking for a while, Burning Flame continued to explain: "For some unknown reason... this statue drifted to our world, but it was either damaged, or there was a problem with its maintenance - according to my production of related items experience, both are highly probable.

"In short... the idol began to be unable to bear the idea attached to it, that is, the 'God'. At this time, the 'God' left on its own to find a suitable carrier--I have been to the Dark Continent and just have a girl of the right age Knowing how to complete the act of selection, Aluja · Badike of the Dadike family has become an extremely suitable carrier." Having said that, Burning Flame couldn't help shrugging his shoulders...

Such a coincidence can happen. Thinking about it carefully, the Fulishi family and the old man Nitro's family should also meet the requirements, but they either have children with handles, or they don't have children of this age at all... This is luck.

The chivalrous man and Kuroro who were listening nearby couldn't help but sigh along with Yi Ermi... There are such unlucky things in this world.

From the perspective of jewelry making, Zhuo Yan felt that his thinking was clearer: "If you think of the statue as a large jewelry work, think of the 'Kubahar' inside as some kind of huge simple consciousness. With the concentration of thoughts, many technical problems will be easily solved."

He said and pointed to the red filled hourglass on the statue: "The red hourglass represents killing and blood, no accident, this part of the compensation is basically paid by beating the enemy Hakka... But you don't have the right sacrifice The steps are not in the temple, and the result is that the cost is frighteningly high. In fact, the extra cost is stored in the statue... Maybe the Hunter Association used a lot when building GI, but it is still It's full."

Then he pointed to the blue hourglass: "And the blue one, no accident, is the offering of 'wealth', which is mainly provided by the GM on Greed Island, but there is not much left after each use... ...As for the so-called 'burned' progress bar, it was no accident that it was supplied to Alluka, so that she could fulfill her 'wish'. But because of the problem in the process, the loss is huge...In short, there will be troubles in the middle I'm afraid it's quite a lot."

In the end, Zhuoyan tilted his head, looked at Yiermi, and said with pity in his eyes: "In short, because the Hunter Association has mastered the correct sacrificial steps, it not only ate the price that your family paid for the free lunch , and there is basically no punishment for the transition of making a wish...and you, as wild 'jumpers' without a temple, not only have to pay an extra price, but it is also difficult to use the sacrificial progress bar provided by the Hunter Association."

If you think about it carefully, if this is the reason, the reason why Aluka can fulfill Qi Ya's wish without any price in the plot is very clear.It's not "healing doesn't need a price", nor is it "Nanija only wants Qiya to praise and is satisfied"... but because Aluca and Nanika like Qiya, they took the initiative to burn the Hunter Association by accident The progress bar of the "wealth" is all stored, and only used when Qiya makes a wish.

So even Qi Ya can't make unlimited wishes. When the stock is used up, what price should be paid, and what price must be paid.

As for the progress bar of "Killing", the Beating Enemy has already filled it up to the extent that the Hunter Association thought it could be used casually... Really...

The author has something to say:

Alluka is both strange and pitiful in the hunter's story. In Kiya's view, Alluka's imprisonment is completely caused by the family's fear of Alluka and not treating Alluka as a family member...

But the little white cat didn't think about it. He still played with Alluka when he was a child, and he still has a lot of memories. This shows that Alluka was not imprisoned at the beginning, and he didn't have the habit of treating a baby as an enemy when he beat the enemy .

When Aluka was young, she was the same as Chiya, Miji, and Ilmi when they were young. Shiba and Kiqiu must have regarded her as their family.It was only later that they discovered that Alluka did not regard them as family members, but threatened their safety, so they locked Alluka away, but it still ensured her growth.Whether it's for the family or for the "unidentified object", Beating the Enemy has done everything they can in this situation.

The Beating Enemy's family is all Qi Ya's control, and there is no one in the family who doesn't like Qi Ya, but Qi Ya doesn't think it's a big deal...or in his opinion, it's just a matter of course, so Alluka likes Qi Ya very much , willing to fulfill all of Kira's wishes. For Kira, this is the proof that Alluka is a family member.

Aluka wasn't originally thought of as a monster, but she's still a danger to other beaters, but she can indeed grant Kiya's wishes for free... so it's reasonable to assume that she would be able to fulfill any wish It requires a price, but it keeps the extra price and deducts some discounts to specifically satisfy Qi Ya’s wish, so the final result is that Qi Ya does not need a price, because the price of his wish has been covered by the previous Or someone else behind paid it off.
