Chapter 65 To the Believers
Everyone likes to do useless things.
Li Ke wanted to sigh at this, but he also knew that this was inevitable. After all, his personality meant that he could not do anything secretly.
So he just looked at them, turned his head, and began to use an ax to dig out the potatoes in the cracked earth.
However, he still issued an ‘oracle’.
"Only dead people need to kneel down and worship. Do you think I am a dead person? So if you have the strength to worship me, why not dig out these potatoes quickly? Those little guys are still hungry."
After hearing what he said, the two typical Freljord men seemed to have woken up from a dream. They nodded in panic and then used their hands to dig up the potatoes in the ground. Once again, they successfully made Li Ke produce...
I had the urge to sigh and had to remind them.
"It's faster with an axe."
But even if he said this, the two strong men carefully dug the potatoes in the ground, fearing that they would be scratched by the axe, or cut directly by their axe, desecrating these sacred...
of……
"They are just potatoes. If you are so careful, how are you going to eat them? Or are you going to offer them carefully after excreting them?"
So Li Ke, who was in a hurry to eat, still sighed and said something that didn't sound like a god at all. These words undoubtedly broke the sacred feeling that these two men had for potatoes, which was quite embarrassing.
He looked at Li Ke with a helpless face.
"Well, if the sacred object is destroyed..."
It was the bald Leles who spoke. He scratched his scalp covered in blue war makeup with his muddy hands, still looking a little uneasy.
This is also related to the superstition of Freljord. Of course, the priests and the like will do a good job of maintaining their sense of mystery and sanctity after being superior to others, so some cruel methods have become commonplace. And because this place is really
There are gods and magic, so people without these powers are more reverent and cautious towards these sacred things.
After all, those who are disrespectful usually pay the price.
"Just dig up the broken ones and wash them. Can this thing still release witchcraft? If it doesn't work, just use it as seeds for next time. Don't tell me you can't even grow potatoes."
Li Ke has no interest in pretending to be a god, nor does he have any interest in playing with the Kingdom of God on earth. In his opinion, religion is simply boring. After all, if there is a god, will he care about the good, evil and ideals of mortals? If he really wants to
If you want people to be good, why create evil?
So either the world is a product of accident, or it's the Flying Pasta Cult's signature saying, 'It doesn't matter if it's cooked'.
So he has no interest in being a monkey in a large-scale monkey show, nor does he intend to enslave the beliefs and will of these barbarians. He feels that as long as he does not think he is a god, he only acts in accordance with his own will and creed, and always denies what kind of god he is.
Using things like this, these people will eventually be able to recognize the reality.
But he was immediately slapped in the face, not because of God, but because of potatoes.
"No, I can only hunt and do carpentry, I can also pick wild fruits, and I can also fight ordinary bandits, but I can't grow anything..."
Leles looked confused and a little embarrassed. Aklan also scratched his head in embarrassment. A shy expression appeared on the face of a muscular man, and he also expressed his desire.
Those words that make Li Ke mad.
"Neither can I, but I know that potato leaves can be eaten, and they taste pretty good."
So after Li Ke took a deep breath, he stopped thinking about continuing and issued the order simply.
"Work."
After saying that, he quickly dug up potatoes, and the two men, who were no longer afraid of these holy objects, also quickly kept up with Li Ke's speed, and in the end even exceeded Li Ke's speed in digging potatoes. After all, to put it bluntly, this is still
They are familiar with the range, and they were slow before just because they were afraid.
However, the more they dug, the more frightened they became, because there were too many potatoes and they were also large in size, which they had rarely seen in the past. You must know that it was very difficult for them to find potatoes the size of an adult's fist in the past.
, but in this land blessed by Li Ke, there are few smaller than this size, which makes their respect for Li Ke increase a lot.
Because of their faith, the three men finished all this quickly, and the harvest in this area was also very gratifying. They dug out a lot of potatoes and piled them into hills, and according to Cherna
It is estimated that these potatoes alone are enough for their group to eat for two or three days. If paired with their existing dried meat and cured meat, it will be very easy for them to persist until they are a tribe that can trade.
What's more, the leaves and vines that produce these potatoes are also edible, which saves some food.
And what didn't surprise Li Ke and Cherna was that when these potatoes were seen by others, they were all shocked without a doubt, and there was a lot more in Li Ke's eyes.
This made Li Ke feel very uncomfortable.
So when he was eating, he chose to leave the crowd and sit alone on the firewood pile, eating roasted potatoes and dried meat under the falling snow, and taking a sip of soup made from potato leaves from time to time.
But to be honest, it's not very delicious. Because there are so many people, the salt can only be put in the soup instead of the potatoes, so overall it's quite bland. It's the meat in his hand.
The dried meat tasted pretty good, so he chewed it slowly when eating the dried meat, carefully savoring the wonderful combination of salt and meat.
"You don't seem to like places that are too busy?"
But just when he was about to finish eating the dried meat, Cherna came over with a horn cup and brought with her the aroma of wine.
"That's right. I don't like being seen as something strange. Whether it's an envoy or a slave, it's not my true identity."
Li Ke did not take the wine that Cherna handed over, but he did not refuse the piece of cheese that was handed over to him.
And Cherna naturally knew that Li Ke was accusing her of adding to the flames, which made her feel uneasy, so he explained.
"I just think they should be grateful. After all, you didn't ask them to be loyal and you didn't agree to be their leader, so I'm afraid they will have some bad thoughts."
Li Ke thought for a moment and found that what Cherna said made sense, so he nodded and the matter was over. After all, judging from their performance, even if Cherna did not add fuel to the fire, the sensation caused by his ability was still
Not too small.
"That's right, but don't do it again. I don't want to find out one day that I have been carved into a strange wooden statue."
The former war mother nodded obediently and said her way of making amends.
"Yes, I will make them swear a blood oath not to reveal any information about us."
"Then do as you say. After all, I don't know the customs here very well. As long as we are not disturbed... But Cherna, after we settle these people, you really don't plan to lead
They?"
Cherna shook her head again, quite firmly.
"No, I am no longer a war mother, and I have vowed to follow you, and Ai Xi will take good care of them. After all, her own strength is still too small, and she will not give up these two precious things.
Craftsmen, and a group of children who have lost their hometown."
So, even two ordinary craftsmen are precious resources in this damn place?
Looking at Cherna's face without any hesitation, Li Ke used a mouthful of bitter potato leaf soup to hide his sympathy.
