Chapter 599: Raising Jie People

There is a proverb circulating in the Principality of Capricorn.

——If you want to become a master, you have to serve Capricorn well.

When he was a child, Jie Jie witnessed with his own eyes that a familiar Capricorn farmer was very good at raising Capricorns, and was promoted to a Capricorn officer by a Iron Knight master.

Capricorn official is a grassroots official of the principality. Each Capricorn official is in charge of hundreds of Capricorn people and dozens of mountains.

In front of the Capricorn people, the Capricorn official is the master.

They could whip the Jie people and decide how to distribute food and various supplies.

The only [Iron Warriors] who can protect everyone only listen to the Capricorn officers - they will be stationed in every pastoral area, with numbers ranging from ten to twenty people.

If you offend a Capricorn official, you will not only suffer from lack of food and drink, but you may also be driven out of the pastoral area. When you encounter a rolling snake, you may not get timely rescue from the iron warrior.

Everyone is afraid of Capricorn officials.

But everyone also wants to become a Capricorn official.

Jie Jie doesn't care.

Because the acquaintance who was promoted to Capricorn official was his father.

Out of curiosity, Jie Jie asked his father.

"Dad, how did you raise Capricorn so well?"

"Want to know?"

The father reminded him, "You are my son. Can't you see that my approach is no different from others?"

Jie Jie thought about it and it seemed to be true.

He couldn't figure it out anymore.

"It's relationships. I rely on relationships."

The father smiled faintly: "Instead of spending time taking care of Capricorn, it's better to spend more time building good relationships, giving gifts, and getting to know the Iron Warriors and Iron Knights. I gave away almost all of my wealth. Do you know why your mother ran away?"

"Didn't mom run off with another rich master?"

"That's appearance."

The father calmly took a sip of Bobo tea and said, "The real reason is that I took everything in the house to run this business. Your mother thought it would not work and said I was crazy, so she ran away."

Jie Jie just said, "Oh."

In pastoral areas, it is normal for men and women to run away.

There is nothing else in the Principality of Capricorn except for pastures everywhere. Apart from the lower class people who raise Capricorns outside the city, there are only the masters living in the city.

However, the risk for Yang Jie people to escape is very high, as they will be recognized immediately. If there is no place willing to take them in and guarantee them, they will usually be exiled to a worse world.

Only by becoming a master can one enter the city from the pastoral area, leave this smelly and muddy place, and even live in a better world.

Dad is just a little bit short.

As long as I am promoted from Capricorn officer to quartermaster, I can move to the city.

Even so, the Capricorn official in the pastoral area is also a master whose words are very useful.

Jie Jie is also inevitable, so you have to raise Capricorn.

Under normal circumstances, he doesn't need to do this. Just like the Capricorn official boy in the pastoral area next door, he walks around with his dog every day, eats and sleeps, sleeps and eats, and grows fat and white.

His father told him, "You can't be like that, and don't be like me. To learn the basic skills and live in this world, you must learn to get along with Capricorn."

"After becoming a Capricorn officer, I realized that as long as we come from the pastoral areas, we are always inferior in the eyes of those masters."

"Even if you become a quartermaster, you are still a low-ranking quartermaster. The big men in the principality are all transferred from other worlds. Only one thing will be recognized here, and that is Capricorn."

"The Capricorns in this world can give birth to Capricorn kings. Capricorn kings can travel anywhere without restrictions. Even in the most noble world of [Wilso], they will be treated like great men. They will choose their own companions, and once they have chosen one, they will never abandon or give up on it for the rest of their lives."

My father drank his bubble tea and said in a normal tone: "Capricorns are more reliable than people. Trust them more and don't trust people too much."

"Our last name is Jie, and only Capricorns and we are one family."

After going around in circles, it seems we are back to that old saying.

…

Jie Jie doesn't hate Capricorn.

Capricorns are monsters with a direct temper. They look like big sheep, with long horns and sheep-like heads, but their mouths are full of sharp teeth, like pieces of blades, and they look very ferocious even when they smile.

Although they look fierce, Capricorns are vegetarians.

It grows from plants, first from seeds, and it takes many years for a Capricorn to grow from a small tree. The small tree will quickly dry up, and then the Capricorn will begin to walk on the ground.

Capricorn eats popcorn and capers.

Popcorn grows all over the world, but capers have to be imported from other worlds.

This sour and watery thing needs fertile soil. Most of the land in the principality occupied by the Bobo grass cannot meet the conditions. Even if there are a few places where it can be grown, the quantity is not enough.

Besides being much larger than Aries, Capricorns are also different in that they can fly.

As long as Capricorn thinks, his body will swell and bulge, becoming a ball, flying and floating in the air.

As for why Capricorn wants to fly to the sky, no one can explain it clearly.

They neither catch birds nor live in the sky. Capricorns prefer to lie on the grass, and can chew even when sleeping. Flying into the sky seems more like a pastime.

This kind of willful activity is also the most troublesome and dangerous time for Capricorn people.

Because Capricorn takes off, the Capricorn owners have to follow. They lie on its bulging body, grab the Capricorn's curly hair, and wait anxiously for the landing.

It is necessary to keep it by the side at all times, because if Capricorn encounters strong winds or abnormal weather in the air, it may also fly very far. The Capricorn owner must land with it and then bring it back to the pasture with the Bobo grass.

"Capricorns are actually very simple. If you feed them well, brush their fur, pat and massage them, they will think you are good. If you take good care of them, the magic energy generated by Capricorns will be abundant and good. If you can get good, you will be commended, get excellent, and may even be directly promoted to a Capricorn officer."

My father passed on the ancient experience passed down from generation to generation.

The Capricorn that Jie Jie takes care of is called Dabai, and it looks like a huge white bubble when it flies.

Dabai is a solitary bird and does not interact with other birds of the same species. Even when flying in the air, he will fly higher and higher, as if flying with some kind of pride and stubbornness, trying to fly out of this world.

Dabai wants to cross the sky.

Unfortunately, it is not the Capricorn King who can come and go.

Dabai became more and more silent, and even showed severe anorexia. Jiejie had no choice but to tell Dabai about the funny things he had seen.

Who forgot to bring toilet paper when taking a shit today? Who used feces to make a fire and got suffocated? Who forgot to close the door and had a snake steal all the food in the house?

Dabai was still lying on the ground, with no interest in his eyes.

Jie Jie finally discovered that it responded to the sound of knocking stones.

So he put various kinds of stones together on a box, tied it with ropes, and hit it with the horn shed by Capricorn.

Jie Jie struck this primitive musical instrument, and the sounds of various stones weaved into a simple melody, which slowly made Dabai come alive.

Strike while the iron is hot, Jie Jie keeps playing the stone harp, and the melody becomes more and more silky and beautiful.

Under the power of sound, Dabai regained his vitality and spirit, and even became sociable. The nearby Capricorns would also come over and nod their heads to listen to Jiejie playing the stone harp.

Several Capricorn people were very happy.

"This thing is incredible. Capricorn is very excited. Maybe I can get a good grade when I check my magic energy at the end of the year!"

"My fat Capricorn actually got up to run, even though he was panting the whole time...Oh my god, the son of the Capricorn official is really resourceful!"

"That's great, that's great, what's that thing called?"

"I didn't expect Capricorns to like knocking rocks so much. Why hasn't anyone mentioned this before?"

…

In response to the numerous questions from the Jie people, Jie Jie answered them all as soon as he was happy.

But soon he heard gossip behind his back.

"That's not the case at all. I knocked on the stone for several days but it was completely useless. The son of the Capricorn official deceived us and didn't tell the truth at all."

"That's right. It's useless. He must have kept something else."

"The master just likes to lie. I was so stupid that I thought he really taught me."

"If we learn it, we will become masters. They will definitely not do anything. Masters are like this. They will not tell us these secrets."

…

Jie Jie felt very disappointed.

What was disappointing was not only that everyone thought he was a liar, but also that they did not think this was his idea at all. They thought it was a method taught to him by his father.

Jie Jie had some understanding of what his father said.

It really has to start from Capricorn.

According to the legend of the Principality, the Capricorn King possesses a huge amount of demonic energy and is evolved from the Capricorn. As long as the Capricorn itself is strong enough and has the power of mutation, it may become the king of this tribe.

If everyone had a Capricorn, maybe everyone would be better off.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Jie Jie began to concentrate on tinkering with the stone harp.

Although others don't understand and can't play it, he knows that this is the key to making Capricorns go from lazy to energetic.

The key is to perfect this instrument and find the best melody, which will enable Dabai and the others to grow rapidly and move towards the direction of Capricorn King.

At the end of the year, as long as the quartermaster comes to check the quality of the magic energy, everyone will understand! Jie Jie continues to improve the stone harp.

He named this instrument "Kekko Box". The key is to use different stones to produce diverse tones. He has completed two melodies - "Happiness" and "Flying".

As the end of the year gets closer, Jie Jie becomes increasingly nervous and expectant.

However, instead of waiting for the inspection day, the end of the world came.

On an ordinary day, pillars of light that brought death and destruction tore through the sky and descended upon the earth.

One after another, werewolves exuding a terrifying aura walked out of the light.

They drew their bows and shot arrows, knocking one person after another into a pool of blood. Then they swung their maces, breaking people's hands and feet, preventing them from escaping or resisting.

The wolves tied up people with ropes and tied them together like animals, turning them into their slaves and property.

Anyone who resists or escapes will be ruthlessly killed by the werewolves.

The werewolves began to set fire to houses, capture and round up Capricorns, and skillfully plunder all useful property.

There was blood and fire everywhere, and wailing and screaming were heard everywhere.

In the distance, Jie Jie was so scared that he was shaking all over. Dabai carried him up into the sky and hid in the cold and damp clouds.

A long time later.

When he landed on the ground again, Jie Jie saw that the ground had been burned to the point where not a blade of grass grew on it. The tents and houses in the pastoral area had collapsed into rubble. The Capricorns had disappeared without a trace, not a single person could be seen.

My father is gone too.

Jie Jie rode on Dabai and began to fly in the air, looking for traces of survivors and his father. But he only saw more people being taken away as slaves by werewolves.

The Iron Knights and Iron Warriors were all slaughtered.

The city was reduced to ruins and rubble.

The invaders didn't care about cities and pastures, they just captured everyone they could find and killed anyone who resisted.

Each werewolf was extremely strong and hard to resist. They easily and quickly occupied cities one by one, taking away all the resources they could take away - mainly Capricorns and slaves, and then burned and destroyed the cities.

In war, all men became equal for the first time.

There are no masters or servants, everyone is a captured slave.

…

The wandering life of hiding from place to place made Jie Jie more and more tired and numb. He felt that it was Dabai who saved him and took him to escape most of the time.

The only way Jie Jie could repay Dabai was to play the piano for him in the clouds.

Only by hiding in the clouds can he feel at ease without the fear of being discovered and hunted by the werewolves. The werewolves have not yet gone to the sky, but he doesn't know how long he can hide.

Food became scarce. Dabai could eat the popcorn grass on the ground, and Jiejie also ate grass and various tree roots. Most of the food was burned by the werewolves.

Every time Jie Jie felt that he couldn't hold on any longer, he always managed to make it through. His desire to survive was much stronger than he thought.

Only by playing the xylophone case can he feel that he is still alive.

He doesn't know what the future will be like.

But you have to live.

Gradually, Jie Jie adapted to the life of a mouse. He collected edibles everywhere, fought with ground snakes for sweet potatoes, fought with birds for grains, and avoided places where werewolves appeared.

One day, Jie Jie played his beloved xylophone box in the clouds and enjoyed a rare moment of forgetfulness with Da Bai.

A huge golden rat emerged from the clouds.

It carries a big backpack and its eyes are rolling around, making it look very smart.

"Your treasure is quite good."

The golden-haired mouse spoke in the local dialect.

Jie Jie was stunned.

"It's mine now."

The golden-haired mouse said, "You and your mount are mine too. I will dedicate you both to the great God Yao."

"Who are you? God Yao... Isn't the god of this world Lord Mist God?"

Before Jie Jie could finish his words, he felt that it was getting dark.

When he came to his senses again, he found himself standing in an unfamiliar place.

There were skeletons walking around everywhere, some of them wearing armor, some carrying swords and shields, and some even wearing armor and riding bone horses...

Am I dead?

Just when he was confused.

A cold female voice sounded in my ears: "This is the place of the great Yao God's oracle. Wanderer who has gone through so much hardship, are you willing to offer your faith, follow Lord Yao God, and obtain the protection of the gods?"

In front of me is an elegant and dignified girl.

Her eyes were covered with black cloth, making her delicate skin look even paler. She was floating above the ground, with the hem of her black robe hanging naturally. A strange book was perched on her arm like a falcon.

There has never been such a beautiful girl in the pastoral area.

Jie Jie nodded dazedly.

"Then from today on, you will be a member of the Yao clan."

The girl said in a clear voice: "You must abide by all the norms and laws of the Yao civilization and offer your loyalty and faith to Lord Yao. Your life, personal dignity and private property will be protected and defended by the Yao people."

She smiled and said, "Welcome to join us. I am Isabel, the apostle of the Yao Clan. Take your Capricorn friend to rest first. There is food, water, and change of clothes in the house. If you have any questions, you can discuss it with Captain Luca."

"But……"

Jie Jie stammered, "Werewolves, those werewolves."

"Don't worry, even the Wolf God can't cross this camp."

"Go and rest. You are very tired and need to rest."

…

Even when he sat in the cabin and felt the long-lost fire, the warm blanket and the steaming water, Jie Jie still felt that everything was unreal.

He looked at Capricorn Dabai next to him, gently playing the xylophone box and singing casually.

Go to sleep, go to sleep.

After waking up, we change the way we live.
