Chapter 286 62. As expected
"Did you grow up in the church?"
In fact, Fisher had some regrets as soon as he walked out of the church. When he arrived in the North on the Flying Fish, he felt that the style of the North was very biting. However, he had not bought any warm clothes and he felt cold just after leaving the church. pressing.
He took a long breath and watched the tangible mist in his mouth dissipate. While looking for something to eat around him, he answered Emhart's question.
"It's a church school, not a church. I don't believe in the Mother Goddess."
"Hmm, maybe. You know that in your human society in the Western Continent, many believers of the Mother Goddess also do a lot of bad things. They like money and beauty, but they wrap these desires under the shell of their own believers. , In comparison, although you like ladies, you are still a good person, more like a believer than the clergy in the church. "
"A person's good character has nothing to do with whether he believes in the Mother Goddess."
"Hmm, that's true, but I think the church still had a subtle influence on you when you were a child. After all, you see, after so long, the thing that impressed you most about the church school was a beautiful nun. It was perfect. It corresponds to your image of being unable to control your lower body! It’s hard to tell whether the other words she said to you have penetrated your heart along with her beauty.”
"Shut up."
Fisher expressionlessly grabbed Emhardt's book and threw him towards the snowdrift on the roadside. He screamed in fright and spun around several times in mid-air before he stopped.
"You, you, you like to use your hands every time I tell you I'm in a hurry! Are you bullying me for not having hands? Just wait, I'll make you look good when I grow hands one day!"
The furious Emhard didn't even go up to Fischer's shoulders, but kept floating in his ears and chattering, which made the winter in Sardinia a little more lively.
The forest that had just experienced the storm was not quiet. Fisher found his prey not long after walking inside. It was a lone stag. Fisher killed it without much effort. After all, he fell. When he entered the sea, the fluid sword was still in his trouser pocket. With the fluid sword in it, it could not escape Fisher's clutches no matter how hard it ran.
When Fisher was carrying the unconscious stag on his back and preparing to walk back, he took the initiative to ask about the Moon Rabbit species. Emhardt, who was still angry at first, was not going to say anything, but he was Fisher once again got angry with the same provocative "You don't know, don't you?"
Without Fisher needing to ask carefully, he told Fisher all about the social situation of the Moon Rabbit species among the six tribes.
"The Moon Rabbit Race is a race that followed the Frost Prince to the central part of the North. Like the Slime Race, they are the smartest and most dexterous race among the six races. The reason why the Moon Rabbit Race is called the Moon Rabbit Race is not because of their ears. The crescent-shaped gap appears because they were nocturnal creatures in ancient times."
"It is said that the Moon Rabbit species can use the moonlight to find hidden treasures, and can also see through the secrets buried in people's hearts through the moonlight. Therefore, the Moon Princess likes these fluffy little bunnies very much. As a result, her brother Prince Frost took advantage of her like a bad boy. He snatched the Moon Rabbit species from his hands and took them away from the snow mountain. Princess Yue was so angry that she secretly burned down his house on the frosty Phoenix tree."
"After the three Sons of the Phoenix disappeared in the north, the Moon Rabbit and Slime species did not want to return to the Frost-Snow Sycamore Tree as devoutly as the Cockbird and Troll species. On the contrary, they felt that they lived under the snow-capped mountains. It’s not bad, so their presence is still active all over the North.”
Fisher was thinking as he walked with the stag on his shoulders, but he was still confused about what kind of subhuman race the "slime race" was.
The slime species is the name given to this kind of demi-human by the people of the Western Continent. In Northern Territory, they are called "Kenumba", which means "smart colloid", and "Slime" is the name of a modern novelist in the Western Continent. The fictional monsters created in his own fantasy novels are borrowed here to translate the unique demihuman race of the North.
In the novel, the whole body of this shapeless monster is made of a jelly-like substance filled with strong acid. The strong acidity of their body can easily dissolve armor and weapons. Well, in recent years, it seems that they have also added... The setting that likes to attack young beautiful girls is exactly the same as the Western Continent people's method of demonizing goblins.
"Slime race, they are an amazing race. Although they look a little strange, like jelly filled with a lake. But they undoubtedly have a genius business mind. They are keen on doing business, and they are all interested in doing business. Various businesses, legend has it that they brought countless wealth to Prince Frost and built him the earliest merchant ship in the North. "
"The slime race is just like the treasure-loving giant dragon in your western continent's myths and legends. Not only is it greedy, but it also has no bottom line. This is what the Moon Princess hates the most. I heard that as long as they give enough money, they will not even join their own clan. All the imprints inside can be sold.”
Emhart was still not happy as he talked, but in Fisher's sight, the rather dilapidated and decaying church had appeared. At this time, the door of the church was open, and a man was holding a small book in his hand. The rabbit-eared nun with a shabby book was standing at the door, looking worriedly at the forest outside the church. She was relieved when she saw Fisher walking back with a stag on his shoulders.
But what's interesting is that the girl's emotions seem to be single-threaded. She first showed a relaxed expression on her face, then turned into surprise at seeing the giant deer, then turned into admiration for Fisher's great strength, and finally turned into a little hesitant to speak for unknown reasons.
"Mother God bless you. I thought you fainted in the forest. You seemed to have been seriously injured before. Wait, is this a deer? Did you kill it?"
Fisher exhaled a breath of hot air. Just when he wanted to walk into the church, he saw Ilos open her hands in front of him. She shook her head and refused repeatedly,
"Mr. Fisher, this is a church. How can you kill a living creature and bring its corpse into the eyes of the Mother God? This is absolutely not allowed. And the deer is so cute, do you really want to eat it?"
If I don't eat the deer, should I eat you?
Looking at Ilos's pitiful expression in front of him, Fisher almost didn't say this.
But he didn't show any surprise, after all, he had some understanding of the Mother Goddess Church. Although the ancient doctrine allowed believers to eat meat, they had to eat creatures that died naturally, just like she picked up those dead shells on the beach just now.
The rules of killing and eating meat were established by churches outside of Kadu, mainly Nari and Shivali. After all, meat is so delicious that you have to eat it.
"If I don't eat anything, I will starve to death. At that time, the Mother Goddess will punish you for not letting me eat. The most important thing is that I will become a starving ghost and come to you at night."
"No, don't come to me, don't come to me. Then, then you eat it quickly, you can eat it outside, but you must not come to me at night when you are starving to death. I don't sleep well at night anyway."
Fisher's joke scared Ilos so much that she quickly covered her ears with her hands. She seemed to be really afraid that the starving Fisher would come to her at night to seek revenge, which made Fisher laugh.
Hmm, wait, didn't Emhart say before that the Moon Rabbit species can see some hidden things under the moonlight? Could it be that this is related to her thinking now?
Fisher threw the cold deer on his shoulder to the ground. When Ilos covered the ears on her head with her hands, he suddenly saw that the other party was holding a copy of the "Creation Book". It seems that she was just studying the book.
I still remember that when Fisher made mistakes in the church school, he would be punished by Theresa to copy the Creation Book. When he was a child, he loved to be naughty and mischievous. He was a big one to copy the Creation Book. Wrong behaviors included but were not limited to fighting, secretly running to the street to use a serious and cute child's face to deceive the lady sister of Sannali to give him pocket money, and peeking at the erotic novels hidden in the drawer of Father Teren.
Anyway, up to now, Fisher still owes Mother Theresa fifteen copies of the Creation Book.
Fisher smiled silently, threw the overly familiar memories out of his mind, and lowered his head to start using the fluid sword to process the body of the stag.
"Sizzle~"
"Yes, it's at this temperature. Just sprinkle some salt and spices and you can eat it. What are you waiting for?! Clumsy!"
"."
Fisher, who was sitting at the door of the Yu Fu Church, frowned and looked at the shiny venison in front of him. He couldn't believe that making a delicious food was so simple. Well, if you ignore that every word Emhart said just now was beyond his expectations.
It turns out that Emhart has a lot of recipes from gourmet masters in his stomach. He has learned the contents of them in a comprehensive way, and can also teach students like Fisher who make food that is just barely edible.
The roasted meat mixed with northern spices was quite delicious. The fragrance spread far in the cold air of Sardinia in winter. I don’t know if people in the distance could smell it, but the girl of the Moon Rabbit species who was chanting the Creation Sutra at the door of the church must have smelled it.
“‘The Mother Goddess and the stars around her looked at her child who had fallen into the mortal world. On the first day, he crossed the mountains, on the second day, he crossed the rivers, and on the third day, he walked into the forest. He looked up at the sky day and night, trying to see his beloved mother from the boundless sky.’”
Ilos chanted the scriptures, but the sticky saliva in her mouth became more and more obvious. What was even funnier was that her eyes could not help but look at the roasted deer in the snow.
Deer is so cute, it should be delicious.
No, no, no, what am I thinking about? That is a violation of taboos. If I eat it, I will be punished by the Mother Goddess!
Fisher took a bite and found it surprisingly good. It was a far cry from the meat he had roasted before.
"It tastes great."
"Right? With Emhart, you won't starve to death, you know? Read more and you'll be as good as me."
Fisher ignored Emhart, who was about to explode if he got a little sunshine. He took a piece of roasted venison and handed it to Ilos, who was sitting at the door of the church in the distance, and said to her,
"Do you want to eat it? You didn't eat enough of the shell meat before, did you?"
"Hey? Me? I don't thank you for your kindness, Mr. Fisher, but I can't eat the meat of the killed. This is the Mother Goddess."
"Hmm, but in fact there is no such rule in the current church commandments. They quoted the words in the Book of Genesis to explain, 'His child walked for seven days and seven nights, and his child shed tears for seven days and seven nights. Mother. The god then reached out and took off a piece of flesh from his arm and threw it to the mortal world. The flesh was stopped by the stars and scattered on the way down. It fell into the lakes, seas and mountains and turned into a tangible animal."
Even after twenty years, Fisher still remembered the contents of the Creation Book verbatim. He said while eating meat,
"'The star said: Why do you want to hurt yourself like this? The mother goddess sighed: My child sheds tears because of hunger, and my heart bleeds because of his tears. Since I can use my blood to exchange for my child no longer Tears, what's wrong as long as he sincerely changes his mind? So, the child of the Mother Goddess followed the guidance of the stars and ate the animal next to her mother's flesh and blood and survived."
Eloise opened her mouth when she heard this. She felt that this passage was familiar, but suddenly she could not remember which chapter of the Book of Creation it was in. Just when she was about to lower her head to turn over the Book of Creation, Fisher was already in front of her. He answered her expressionlessly,
"Stop turning it over, it's the fourteenth paragraph of the second chapter of Ymir. Also, did the Creation Sutra you recited earlier miss a few paragraphs about the conversation between the stars and the Mother Goddess?"
"Huh? Then that one"
Eloise lowered her head in panic and flipped through the ancient Creation Book that was almost falling apart in her hands. The rabbit ears on her head kept shaking. She seemed a little embarrassed and paused for a while before she could finish what she wanted to say. ,
"Actually, my teacher at the time, Sister Charlotte, the real owner of this church, told me that the Book of Creation in the Yurot Church had been damaged. I heard it was because of McDowell a hundred years ago. The tetrarchy implemented religious controls, so the Book of Creation I studied was missing many pages."
"so."
Fisher ate the venison with some lack of interest, but in Eloise's eyes, this man from the Western Continent, the true birthplace of the Mother Goddess Religion, seemed to know the Creation Book very well. If so, he could Why can't you ask him to help you repair the missing Genesis Book in your hand?
"Well, Mr. Fisher, you seem to be very familiar with me in the text of the Genesis Book. Could you please help me see what content is missing in my Genesis Book?"
Fisher's body paused slightly while he was eating barbecue, and Emhardt's expression on his shoulder instantly changed into a dead fish-eye look of "Sure enough."
Fisher gently put down the barbecue in his hand, then turned to look at Eloise, who was sitting at the door of the church wearing a classical nun's robe. The flames of the roasted venison illuminated his expression and eyes, making him Eloise felt a little guilty and embarrassed.
After Fisher swallowed the venison he was chewing, he spoke calmly,
"Of course. But you also said, 'Please' me, right?"
