Chapter 648 Order of St. Stanislav
Lu Yao sat on a chair, drinking orange juice with ice cubes in the glass.
Harrow was standing on the stool, leaning over the stewed pork ribs and daikon radish on the table. It gnawed off a piece of bone, swallowed a piece of white radish, and then licked two mouthfuls of soup with its tongue. It was a balanced diet.
After eating two large bowls, Cerberus wiped his mouth on the wet paper towel next to him, nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for the treat, I really appreciate it."
Next, Xiao Huo put the plate and bones on his head and started to wash dishes and clean up in the kitchen.
"Bingya potatoes are a specialty there."
Harrow continued: "This was given to us by the [Night Watch] as a thank you for our help to the local area."
Lu Yao looked at the potatoes in his hand.
This green potato feels slightly cool to the touch, and its surface exudes a poisonous sheen.
…
[Icy Tooth Potato]: A species that can only grow in cold areas. During the growth stage, it exists in the form of an ice tooth potato, which tastes soft, waxy and mellow, and can replenish a small amount of mana; during the mature stage, it will transform into a self-exploding potato, which will self-destruct when it feels squeezed and pulled by external forces.
【11/100】
…
"Icy Fang Potato comes from the virtual universe. It will mutate and rot rapidly in the real universe. It will mutate when the progress bar reaches zero. It can still be stored for 11 days. Like other species in the virtual universe, it will enter the high dimension from the lower dimension. Wei, it can only stay normal for 15 days. I also ran all the way to bring it to you."
Cerberus licked his nose: "It is recommended to put it into a prop immediately, or put it directly into the Void Universe Divine Kingdom."
So Lu Yao put three potatoes in the toolbar.
Harrow relaxed now and talked happily about his trip.
"The Black Tea Party sent four members to Siberia this time to deal with an emergency there. Charon and I were among them..."
On the Putolanna Plateau in Siberia, the local official organization that governs the gods [Night Watch] is trying to improve species. Several special species had unexpected mutations and caused injuries to civilians after escaping. These specific projects involved the principle of confidentiality, and Harrow skipped a sentence.
The local project Black Tea Club is one of the assisting organizations.
In order to find these mutated and escaped disaster creatures as soon as possible, the Black Tea Party also responded to the [Night Watch]'s request to urgently mobilize relevant people with the ability to detect, pursue, and identify traces. Therefore, Harrow and Charon were called over.
They arrived at their destination in batches and spent a lot of time and energy cooperating with the [Night Watch]. They finally settled the matter without further expanding the negative impact.
To express their gratitude, the night watchman took out the local specialty "Bingya Potatoes" and gave them to the facilitators of the black tea party.
"We were entertained locally for a day before leaving."
"But before leaving, I went to the [Night Watchman] to collect this thing."
Harrow raised his neck proudly: "The Order of St. Stanislav."
Only then did Lu Yao notice that what the three-headed hell dog had on its chest was not a dog tag.
This is a copper Red Cross Medal. The leaf-shaped cross has a small ball-shaped decoration on the edge. There is a circle of unknown golden text on the outside. There is a double-headed eagle pattern inside the circular emblem. It is simple but very high-quality.
"This is the [Night Watch], which was the predecessor [Knight of the Empire] at that time. It was awarded to me in 1841 to thank me for helping them catch a group of crazy undead disaster creatures. These guys killed a lot of people. A small number of people caused a mutiny in the army. If it cannot be controlled in time, the consequences will be disastrous. "
Harrow raised his head slightly and said with pride and restraint: "There are very few St. Stanislav medals awarded to foreigners, but mine is a specially made one after being processed by [Knight of the Order of the Empire]. There is a special inscription under the Latin circle inside. Structures and runes, this is not only a symbol of honor, but also comes with practical abilities..."
It suddenly asked: "Lu Yao, how are you doing here during this time?"
"good."
Lu Yao drank juice.
"I think so. If anything happens, it shouldn't be difficult for you."
Lu Yao said: "Keep going."
"I received this medal back then, but never went to receive it. At that time, the Tsar launched the Holy Alliance, and the situation became complicated and turbulent, and divine organizations from other countries also began to appear there... so I left immediately Go there to avoid getting into unnecessary trouble.”
"I didn't think about it until this time. I didn't expect that from [Knight of the Empire] to [Night Watch], I still keep the medal they gave me, and the Slavic gods still value the medal so much."
Haro raised his neck: "Lu Yao, come and touch the medal."
Lu Yao reached out and when he touched the medal, a line of description appeared in front of his eyes.
…
[Medal of St. Stanislav (Second Class)]: A special prop that represents the recognition and gratitude of the Slavic gods - I would like to thank Mr. Harrow for his brave and upright behavior. I wish you good physical and mental health and long-lasting friendship with the Slavic gods.
[Holy Grant (0/2)]
The holder can open a directional teleportation channel and enter the [Holy Oak], which can accommodate up to 2 people.
…
Lu Yao was a little surprised.
It turns out that this medal also has the function of opening a passage.
He asked curiously: "Where is the sacred oak tree?"
"It is the anchorage of Slavic mythology, similar to Kunlun, Penglai, and Tianting in your Chinese mythology. It's just that they only have this large anchorage, which is not as good as yours in scale and quantity."
Lu Yao suddenly realized.
It turns out that a small world like Kunlun is called a mythical anchorage.
"Lu Yao, would you like to go there and have a look?" Haro suggested.
"What's there to see?"
Lu Yao prefers to stay at home. It's hot and tiring outside. It's not as good as eating, drinking and sleeping in at home.
"Let's go and have a look."
Harrow tried his best to persuade: "Although the sacred oak tree has become weaker and weaker, it is still a mythological anchor with a long history. I heard from the [Night Watcher] that there are still good unique items for sale in the local area. You can go and pick them up. Maybe you can use them."
Selling goods?
This is the first time Lu Yao has come into contact with Slavic mythology. He has never encountered players from this camp before.
Lu Yao immediately became excited: "Then let's go and have a look."
For safety reasons, they chose to enter from the virtual universe.
Harrow turned into a spotted dog in the pixel world with a shining medal hanging around his neck. It barked twice, and a blue oval passage lit up beside it.
Lu Yao walked into it with Harrow in the body of Huang Jia.
...
Lu Yao looked around.
He stood on a huge branch that looked like a mountain ridge. The branches spread out in all directions, forming winding paths. Dense leaves shaped like long fish bones were scattered all around. In the breeze, Lu Yao could smell the smell of forest and soil.
In the air, there were endless spirals of tree trunks.
Down below, there were layers of interlaced branches.
As the name suggests, there was a towering oak tree that was difficult to see in its entirety.
Haro next to him was also looking around curiously.
"You haven't been here either?"
"No, it's my first time here too."
Just as the man and the dog were considering which direction to go, an acorn floated down from the leaves.
It floated in front of Lu Yao and made a sound.
"Two distinguished guests with medals, welcome to the Sacred Oak. I hope you like it here."
"I am the Acorn Elf. Please let me be your guide. Where do you want to go? There are [Monument of the Skytop Treetop], [Death Cave of the Earth], [Spinning Wheel of Destiny], [Battlefield of Glory]..."
The voice of the elf is crisp and pleasant, like a half-grown child.
Hello looked at Lu Yao.
Lu Yao thought for a while: "Which place sells things?"
"That must be the [Spinning Wheel of Destiny]. Please follow me, two guests."
The Acorn Elf flew in front and led the way.
On the way to follow the guide, Lu Yao found that miracles could not be used here.
The elf explained: "Fighting is prohibited in the Sacred Oak. In the past, there were frequent conflicts between the gods, which caused great damage here. Many years ago, the Lord God banned fighting and only allowed negotiations and transactions here. If you want to duel, you have to go to the [Battlefield of Glory]."
Lu Yao nodded.
This is probably a relatively sound mythological anchorage with normal rules. After all, it is to gather the power of the gods. The situation of Kunlun being invaded by the old gods is not included.
Not long.
"Two guests, this is the [Destiny Spinning Wheel]." The elf stopped.
Lu Yao looked forward.
It was a majestic and tall Ferris wheel with a complex rotating component and force arm structure at the bottom. It was made entirely of dark brown wood, and the slowly rotating body was still spinning, but these threads came from the air. The appearance and structure were very similar to the ancient silk loom.
Lu Yao stared at the spinning wheel, and the panel description appeared in front of him.
...
[Destiny Spinning Wheel]: Mythological wonder. The magical device created by the mother of the earth, Mokosh, has the power to change destiny.
Health value: 2779613/3650000
[Myth]
[Life Thread]
Use the thread gathered by life as the raw material.
[Destiny Thread]
The thread of destiny is woven from the thread of life.
[Weaving Destiny]
Spinning the thread of destiny into cloth, the thread will cause the thread owner to die immediately if the thread breaks, and the finished cloth can change the thread owner's existing destiny and turn it into another random trajectory.
[Sacred Oak]
A part of the sacred oak.
...
Lu Yao carefully asked the elves and then confirmed the effect of the destiny spinning wheel.
This wonder can touch the mysterious realm of destiny, but it is more like a blender, stirring the existing destiny into another river, which is a random change of destiny. The premise is that you have to gamble whether you will die during the weaving process.
Under normal circumstances, the gods will not try it unless they are in desperate situations. There is no mention of the probability of successful weaving, and even if the destiny is changed, the new result may not be better, but may be worse.
Lu Yao's evaluation is that the practical value is not high, but it is a thought to gain a glimmer of life in certain situations.
Especially for ordinary life, turning it when dying may change the destiny against the will of heaven.
However, to use this wonder, you must get the consent of [Mother Earth] Mokosh, otherwise it cannot be turned.
Around the spinning wheel of fate are stalls selling goods. Beside the tall mythological wonder, the stalls add some secular life atmosphere.
Lu Yao walked to the first stall nearest to him.
There was a young girl with long hair and a crown of leaves on her head. She was wearing a loose white dress, and her deep blue eyes showed a numb sadness, like a melancholy girl from a Western painting.
The young girl held a bunch of wide reeds in her hand and looked at the hem of her skirt without saying a word.
Lu Yao thought to himself that it seemed that she was selling the reeds in her hand.
But the people here could not see each other's data panels, probably because of the restriction of the sacred oak tree.
The voice of the elf entered Lu Yao's mind.
"Guest, the sacred oak tree prohibits mutual investigation, so it is impossible to spy on each other's secrets."
"This is the [Ominous Water Fairy], one of the Slavic gods. She was originally a subordinate god of the Sailor [God of Love and Marriage] Siva. After the death of Lord Siva, the Water Fairy is looking for a god willing to pay her debts."
"She is willing to become a subordinate god of the debtor, or has other requests - as long as they are serious requests, we can discuss them in detail."
Lu Yao was shocked.
Selling oneself to pay off debts, there are such god players?
