Chapter 424: Comparison is the thief of joy
. Li's father is not a particularly outstanding person. If one must find an advantage in him, it is that he is willing to work hard.
When the Fire Capital was just established, everyone had the opportunity to learn, and Li's father was no exception.
It was an era full of opportunities, but Li's father's poor academic performance made him miss the chance to enter the management level. Following the Bucks Tribe to open up the East Sea City, he could only become one of the many coolies.
He should have been mediocre, but his advantage of being willing to work hard made him stand out from the coolies.
When other coolies were resting after a tiring day, Li's father was learning characters; when other coolies were still asleep, Li's father had already come to the beach early to study the techniques of opening the sea.
With his unwavering determination, he gradually mastered the skills of sea-opening, and together with his equally hardworking mother, he was responsible for the sea-opening of a section of road.
The so-called sea-opening means digging a deep pit, then digging a shallow canal, and then opening the canal to divert seawater.
Because the canal is shallow and narrow, large beasts cannot pass through, which makes the deep pit filled with seawater safe for boiling salt and fishing.
Li's parents did a good job, and because of their excellent performance, the two were recommended to have the opportunity to become witches.
When this opportunity came, it was the sixth year of Li's birth. At that time, his parents dreamed that one would become a preaching witch and the other would become a spirit-giving witch. In this way, they would be a great witch together.
The two of them were dreaming, taking care of their children, studying, and sailing. Their
busy lives made them make an obvious mistake - the canal was too close to the East China Sea.
A ferocious beast rushed out from the unbroken ice, and its tentacles wrapped around the two lives full of hope for the future and threw them into the sea. After the wind and the waves calmed down, Li became an orphan.
From then on, Li was determined to become a great wizard and fulfill his parents' wishes.
For this reason, he left the comfortable East China Sea City, risked his life to cross the snowfield and came to the Fire City, relying on the money he got from cheating and deceiving to support his own studies.
To become a witch, the best place to study is naturally the Fire Tribe Alliance Academy, but it is a recommendation system, unlike the dojo where anyone with money can go.
Since he couldn't enter the academy directly, he entered the dojo, hoping to find a job after graduation, and then look for an opportunity to enter the academy.
If he completes all his studies this year and takes part in the wilderness survival test at the beginning of next year, he will be considered a graduate and have the opportunity to join the ranks of warriors and look for an opportunity to enter the academy.
But this voice almost shattered all his dreams.
He turned his head with a smile and asked with a puzzled look, but tears could not be stopped in an instant.
In the face of facts, all lies can only be broken bronze mirrors.
A broken mirror cannot be repaired, and his dream was shattered.
The last bit of struggle was no match for the sting of the shattered dream. The drama on his face was still vivid, but tears were pouring out, blurring his vision.
He couldn't see who was in front of him, nor who was around him. His eyes were blinded by the broken dream.
"What happened to him?"
A thin but powerful voice sounded. He was somewhat familiar with this voice. He immediately held back his tears, hoping that the owner of this voice could help him.
"There was black water in his wooden box."
The slow and majestic voice said.
"Which eye of yours saw it?"
The thin voice questioned, quite rudely.
It was Xin... He immediately judged the owner of this voice, and his brain immediately worked frantically.
Xin is the chief witch of the Sun tribe, and she can bully the little fat boy at will. Her family background should be very powerful.
She questioned, and the majestic voice answered, proving that her status and position are enough to suppress this person.
I still have hope... still have hope...
Like a drowning person grabbing the last straw, he immediately held back his tears, and at the same time, a totem power surged on his face, and all the tears were evaporated by the power of the Sun totem. Fuck
.
Seeing the owner of the majestic voice, there was only this sentence echoing in his heart.
The walking judge is already a chief witch who can behead any tribe except the Fire Tribe. His eyes shifted and saw the blond and blue-eyed Xin.
"This matter has nothing to do with you."
He said to Xin coldly. He didn't want to cause trouble for his friend.
"Idiot."
Xin cursed even more cruelly than him.
"Miss Xin, please stop messing around. I think you can also smell the smell of black water from that box."
The voice of the walking judge was still calm, and it was obvious that he was not angry because of Xin's rudeness.
They are always like this, all the walking judges, including their spiritual leader, the chief justice, are cold and ruthless.
"I can't smell it, I swear in the name of Japan Totem."
Xin bluntly threw back the words of the walking judge.
The walking judge was still not angry, he seemed to only care about facts and not be disturbed by anything else.
"We just need to open his box."
As he said, if you can't smell it, you can see it. As long as the box is opened, everything will be clear to the world.
"This is an important item that the Sun Totem ordered Dragon City to send to the Fire City for the God of Fire. Only the Totem Shaman has the right to open it. Are you sure you have this right?"
Xin asked loudly, leaving the Walking Judge speechless .
This is a lie, and everyone present thinks it is a lie, but the problem is how to expose it.
"I will verify it with the Sun Totem."
The Walking Judge said unyieldingly.
I am already a little confused.
Are all the great witches nowadays so powerful? Do they totally ignore the administrative judge? Can you wear a totem when you tell lies? What should Xin do if he questions the totem?
Four questions flashed through his mind. He regretted dragging Xin into this matter, but he was smart enough to know that this matter was no longer something he could decide.
"Please give me the sun totem."
Xin bowed slightly and said. With a humming sound, a totem fire appeared in front of her. It was the power of the sun totem.
The people around her shouted in surprise. Xin's action proved that she was at least a great witch, and a more powerful one.
"Please give me the thick mist."
Xin spoke again and bowed slightly towards the altar. This time, her waist was bent a little deeper than before.
She asked for dense fog because Totem Fire cannot communicate without dense fog. Even if Totem has this intention, its strength does not allow it.
"Speak."
A simple word, without asking about the identity of the summoner, it is obvious that Sun Totem and Xin are very familiar with each other.
"The thing you asked me to bring from Dragon City to the God of Fire is in this person's box, but he said he wanted to check this thing that you said no one is allowed to touch. He thinks that what I said is not true."
At this time, there are really few people who think that Xin is lying. She dared to say this in front of Totem. If it is false, it will definitely be exposed.
Ke Ke knows that all this is false, but he also knows that Xin is not a fool, but he doesn't think that Sun Totem will lie.
That's a totem.
How could it lie for a great witch?
He didn't believe it, but the walking judge opposite him had a flash of doubt in his eyes.
Under the attention of everyone, the thick mist on the totem fire changed, and a line of text reappeared:
Don't question my decision, step down, walking judge.
This simple line of text confirmed Xin's words. The last few words were very strong, with a taste of rebuke.
"Follow your will, respected Sun Totem."
The walking judge bowed and saluted, with no expression on his face.
The Sun Totem is a relatively special existence in the Fire Tribe. When the God of Fire is in seclusion, the overall situation is mostly led by the Sun Totem. In a sense, the Code Totem must be inferior to the Sun Totem.
Watching the walking judge turn around and leave silently, He felt that everything was a little incredible, and his eyes looking at Xin were also quite scrutinizing.
This is definitely not something that an ordinary great witch can do.
At this time, the text on the totem fire changed:
The envoy of the Ice Bear Tribe is going to the altar to meet the God of Fire, come back quickly.
"Okay, respected Sun Totem."
Xin bowed slightly, and then the thick mist and totem fire all dissipated.
"Let's go."
After saying something to He, Xin led the way through the city gate. The patrolman next to him hesitated for a moment, and no one spoke.
"You are not a great witch."
He said affirmatively while walking on the road.
"Now I am a Sun Totem witch."
Xin said concisely.
He was surprised. His friend was a totem witch, which he did not expect.
"I have something to do. I'm leaving now."
Xin waved to him and walked quickly along the street towards the center of Fire City.
After saying goodbye, he watched her walk away. He was very grateful for everything his friend had done for him. Then he turned and walked towards the merchant's house.
It was still the sparsely populated street. He knocked on the door. Someone in the crack looked at him but didn't open the door.
After waiting for a while, the door opened a crack and the fat merchant walked out.
"Did you bring it?"
the merchant asked in surprise.
"Only half of the altar."
He had to leave half for the old man, so he could only pay half first.
The merchant tested the black water, took out two strings of money from the animal skin bag in his arms and handed them to him, and then disappeared in the crack of the door in a flash - it was really amazing that his fat body had such a flexible pace.
He turned around and walked to the scene, heading straight to the old man's room. When he arrived, he found that the old man who usually dozed off on the stone was not there, so he left the half-alcoholic drink here and turned to go to class.
When he arrived at the classroom, he was already late for a long time, but the classes in the dojo have always been relaxed, so no one paid attention.
"Why are you so late today?"
the little fat man asked in a low voice .
"I was discovered, but Xin helped me out." The little fat man said "Oh. " "You already knew Xin's identity? The identity of a totem witch?" He couldn't help asking. "She agreed to be a day witch?" the little fat man asked in surprise, his voice was a little louder, and he was glared at by Senior Brother Can. "She is a day witch, what does it mean to agree? Didn't she want to be one before?" Even though he was glared at, he couldn't help asking. "She is the daughter of the eighth generation witch and was chosen by the Sun Totem to be a Sun witch. But when she grew up, she didn't want to be a Sun witch anymore and only wanted to be a Fire witch. It seems that the Sun Totem convinced her." The answer given by the fat boy was too shocking. He felt that he needed to digest it. Xin is the daughter of the eighth generation witch and was chosen to be a Sun witch, but she actually refused and needed the Totem to convince her to become a Totem witch. Comparing people makes people angry. At this moment, this was the only thought in his mind.
