Chapter 322 - 322: The Local God’s Special Fetish
It could only be said that most of the functions had been realized, and some functions were even stronger.
As for the teleportation function, Ji Ruo had made it into a portal. The messy spatial coordinates recorded in the Wan Xiang Mirror were gone. Instead, Ji Ruo could adjust the coordinates behind the door through the door handle. Moreover, it did not require Ji Ruo’s power to use it. When it was not used, the portal would absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to recharge itself.
It could be considered to be the realization of automatic teleportation.
Of course, it didn’t matter even if he didn’t absorb enough spiritual energy because Ji Ruo had taken apart his phone and installed the battery and charging socket…
The cell phone’s battery capacity was not big, but it gave the door the ability to store energy. It could be used for a long time after being fully charged.
Although the power consumption was a little high, it did not matter. The Star Tribulation Thundercloud was living a very comfortable life now. Under normal circumstances, one cloud could support half of the power supply of Great Xia. If he encountered a living being undergoing a tribulation, the lightning tribulation energy produced would not be used up in a short period of time. The work of preventing the living being from advancing had already been contracted by Great Xia.
Although Ji Ruo had the title of [Great inventor] and was ridiculously strong, Great Xia’s own scientific research ability was not weak either.
In the past few days, Ji Ruo had made several small inventions. The researchers of Great Xia had also developed a new type of missile based on the characteristics of the star tribulation thundercloud.
This new type of missile could carry the laws of the Star Calamity, and the firepower it carried was extremely destructive. Whenever a living being underwent a tribulation, it could use the laws of the Star Calamity to directly penetrate through space and time, arriving in an instant and killing them in real time.
The energy of the lightning tribulation would be generated, but the star tribulation thundercloud would strike the energy storage device that was tailor-made for Great Xia. One person could light up the lights of thousands of homes. In comparison, Great Xia only needed to pay some mass-produced firearms.
The star tribulation thunderclouds no longer had to travel around the world, and Great Xia had also obtained an almost inexhaustible source of energy. It was killing two birds with one stone.
The so-called ‘Star Calamity Power Station’ mainly relied on the Star Calamity to generate electricity…
In short, the electricity was stored. If Ji Ruo’s status and contribution were there, he could use it as he pleased.
Evening, Rouen Town.
“Hey, brother, how do you read the words at the door?”
The Common Language allowed Jiruo to communicate with any existence without any obstacles, but it did not allow Jiruo to understand the words of other civilizations.
Words themselves could not speak, and they did not have any meaning. What gave them meaning was the creature that created them.
The ‘able-bodied man’ who was caught by Ji Ruo looked at Ji Ruo in surprise.
“What word? I don’t know him either.”
Ji Ruo:
Upon closer inspection, this ‘able-bodied man’ was dressed in coarse linen clothes. His hair was like a pile of withered grass hanging on his head. His skin was rough, and there were obvious calluses between his fingers and palms, which were distributed irregularly.
It seemed that this was a simple and honest working person.
Just as Ji Ruo was sizing up the able-bodied man, the able-bodied man was also sizing up Ji Ruo.
In his eyes, Ji Ruo had fair skin, slender fingers, and smooth hair. The style of her clothes and shoes was a little strange, but they were spotless. She also had a cute kitten with her…
Could it be that he was a descendant of a noble family?
No, wait…lf he was really a descendant of a noble family, how could he not be literate?
The brawny man was thinking about whether he should bow or not.
“Let me rephrase my question. What’s the name of this town?””
“This is Rouen Town.” The man hesitated for a moment and said,””You don’t look like a local. May I ask why you’re here…”
“Oh, I’m just a traveler passing by.”Ji Ruo said casually.
After that, Ji Ruo chatted with the man for a while and roughly understood some information about Rouen Town.
The man suddenly said,” You’ve come at the right time. Rouen Town is preparing for a celebration recently. It’s only once a year.”‘
“Oh? Then my luck is pretty good.” Ji Ruo smiled and said goodbye to the man. He carried Luo Qian and walked into the town.
The man hesitated for a moment and suddenly ran in a certain direction.
In a dimly lit room, dozens of people were squeezed together. All kinds of strange smells mixed together, and everyone had a worried look on their faces.
They seemed to be arguing, but their voices were not very loud. They could only vaguely hear words like ‘who’s going to be sacrificed this year’.
Although everyone looked very excited, they seemed to be trying very hard to restrain themselves.
Suddenly, there was a series of hurried knocks on the door. Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the door.
“Shh.”
An old man stepped out from the crowd. After everyone was silent, he gently opened the door and looked outside with a cold gaze.
Outside the room was the man who had talked to Ji Ruo earlier.
“There’s no need to be conflicted. A foreigner has arrived!” he whispered excitedly. I told him that our town is going to hold a celebration soon.
Everyone, get ready!”
“Foreigner?”
Everyone in the room became excited and quickly welcomed the man.
“Kyle, please bless us. We don’t have to prepare the main offerings this year.”
Everyone was delighted and grateful to the gods.
They started discussing the details.
“This town doesn’t look small. Why are we the only ones here?” Ji Ruo asked curiously. Aren’t the others going to participate in the sacrifice? Or is this kind of thing a contract?”
An old man sighed.” The lives of the nobles are precious. They won’t get involved in this kind of thing. The lives of us poor people are cheap, so…”
Otherwise, the nobles won’t let us off, and the great Kyle won’t let us off either…’
“I see.” Ji Ruo rubbed Luo Qian’s head and nodded slightly.””Continue.”
Everyone continued to discuss.
Kyle was the god worshiped by Rouen Town.
Ji Ruo had previously learned from the God of Fire that in the Mother Earth Continent, other than the main gods that were mandatory to believe in, there was no lack of small gods like Kyle.
Small Gods like this mostly relied on their own strength to intimidate others, or because they looked too strange and made the masses afraid. Naturally, they gained faith and condensed a divine persona.
As for the Main Gods, they simply couldn’t be bothered with such things. As long as people still believed in them, it was enough. As for what kind of environment people lived in, they didn’t care at all.
If you believe in me, you will have the value of living. If you don’t believe in me, you will be guilty and will be killed.
It was that simple.
Back to the main topic, most of the gods in such places had some strange hobbies. For example, Kyle forced the people of Rouen Town to offer live sacrifices every year for him to eat in addition to believing in him…
“Kyle, you only eat this once a year?” Ji Ruo was a little confused.”
“Kyle is a great god!” One of them said unhappily. How can we, lowly humans, casually speculate?”
Calling himself a lowly human made Ji Ruodu raise his eyebrows. It seemed like the world had a problem of no small amount…
