Chapter 600 How could there be a dragon!
Jie Jie was arranged to live in a small house. The house was square and built entirely of bones. It looked a little scary at first glance, but it had everything you need.
There are beds, tables, chairs, cabinets, and even a separate toilet that only city gentlemen have.
It is equipped with various daily necessities: cotton blankets and robes, short undershirts, and cloth shoes.
As for food, there were grains in sacks, salted dried meat, and fruits and vegetables in glass jars - Dabai liked this kind of canned food very much.
In the center of the room there is a copper stove with steam rising from it, and a bright lamp floating on the ceiling.
Jie Jie was full of curiosity about all this.
In charge of him is a skeleton squad leader named Luca.
Luka carried a sword and shield, wore a leather breastplate, and walked in a very orderly manner. He was very small, shorter and thinner than Jie Jie, and looked more like a logistics soldier.
It uses something called "brain-stimulating mint" to allow everyone to understand each other's language.
"The jars contain sour raspberries and pickles, all made by our military logistics team."
"The wheat was produced by the farm this year, and the jerky is pork from the Kingdom Ranch."
"That's a [steam stove]. You can use it to boil water or cook. Do you see the copper lid? After opening it, you can add wood or charcoal to make the fire burn. It's cold here, so we use that. If it's too hot, we have ice stoves. We have both."
"That's a sky lantern in the air. Pull the string below it and it will light up. Pull it again and it will turn off."
"You just joined the Yao clan, tell me if you need anything."
…
Jie Jie had heard in the past that skeletons could only charge forward with weapons in hand. They were low-level soldiers and cannon fodder that could be easily defeated. They had no intelligence and were extremely stupid.
But Luca is not like that at all, he knows a lot.
In front of it, Jie Jie felt like he was the stupid and slow-reacting skeleton soldier.
"The kingdom you are talking about, Master Luca, is--"
"Resurrection Kingdom, I come from the Resurrection Kingdom. The Resurrection Kingdom is one of the civilizations under the command of the great Lord Yao. Of course, Lord Messenger of the Gods is also half the master. Also, don't call me Master Luca, call me Luca, there is no master in the kingdom." said Captain Skeleton.
"Then how do the lower class address the higher class?"
"There are no inferiors or superiors, everyone is the same." Luca suddenly realized something: "You mean leaders like kings and ministers, right?"
"Yes, yes."
Jie Jie breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that they use a different set of names over there.
"The king is the king, King Raymond, that's what we all call him, and the ministers are also called ministers. But their talents are indeed stronger than most people, otherwise they wouldn't have won so many supporters in the election and would have been overthrown long ago."
"Overthrow? Step down?"
Jie Jie was a little confused.
After Luca's explanation, he realized that the king of the Resurrection Kingdom was actually chosen from the common people.
If the common people are dissatisfied with or question the king, the king will be held accountable and impeached. The temple, as the will of the gods, will also supervise to confirm whether the king fulfills his promised duties and makes the kingdom better.
Several kings have been deposed in the past, and new commoners have taken over as kings to lead the kingdom forward.
Jie Jie's head started buzzing when he heard this.
In the Principality of Capricorn, the master is the master, and the inferior is the inferior. It is impossible for the inferior to become the lord of the city, or become a minister or a knight.
Gentlemen all say that inferior people should do inferior people's work, don't think too much, just raise Capricorns well and cut the grass.
Only the masters can keep the principality running smoothly. Without the masters, the world will be in chaos, no one will have food to eat, and everyone will starve to death and become homeless.
Jie Jie suddenly realized.
Doesn’t the existence of a country like the Resurrection Kingdom prove that ordinary people can build a country and make it run normally?
"Of course. The secular state was originally created by the common people."
Luca put his hands on his hips: "If there were no civilians, who would grow food, who would build houses and bridges, who would grow cotton and weave cloth, who would feed livestock?"
"Every city is built by a large number of civilians. The leader exists because he is recognized by everyone. Everyone hopes that he can guide the future direction and better concentrate everyone's strength."
"Like in our Resurrection Kingdom, Lord Yao has sent down an oracle, giving everyone the opportunity to become a hero, a prophet, or even an apostle."
“…”
Jie Jie was shocked this time.
"Luca, you mean, like you guys can become apostles? Like Miss Isabel?"
"Of course, I have a chance, and so can you. As long as you make enough contributions, you can even ascend to become a god. His Majesty the King of Light of the Zhou Island World ascended from an ordinary person in this way, hehe."
"Becoming a god?!" The Yangjie people were stunned.
The skeleton captain raised his head and said, "This is the Yao Clan. Everyone can become a hero or a close attendant of a god, so everyone is very polite. No one knows who will become a sensation someday."
Jie Jie no longer hesitated.
"Luca, I hope to find more refugees. There are still some people alive in the Principality. Can you take them in?"
"Of course. This is the order we received before, but at least you have to have a skill."
"Is raising Capricorns considered a skill?"
"Well, I'm a special farmer."
"I'll take you there!"
…
After obtaining permission from the camp, Jie Jie flew all the way on Capricorn Dabai.
Luca declined his invitation to ride with him.
"We are soldiers of the Resurrection Kingdom. The military stipulates that we can only use military vehicles provided by the kingdom when carrying out missions."
Jie Jie looked back.
Behind the slowly flying Capricorn, there was a flying ship in the clouds, with Luca and two soldiers on board. The flying ship had a spiral shell and shuttled smoothly in the clouds, like an extremely flat gyroscope.
Jie Jie fixed his eyes on the ground.
After the war came, he wandered and hid all the way, mostly hiding in the wet and cold clouds, relying on the thick fur on Dabai's body to keep warm.
Those who survive must rely on Capricorn to fly to the sky or hide deep underground. Otherwise, they cannot escape the werewolf's pursuit, as they have very keen sense of smell and hearing.
During his escape, Jie Jie also learned to smear his entire body with smelly mud to eliminate body odor. He also went into underground caves and caught fish in underground rivers to replenish his energy.
He had met other refugees struggling to survive.
But I didn’t choose to be with someone.
It is easier to be exposed when there are more people.
But it’s different now.
As long as everyone knows that there is a place to go, where they don't have to hide anymore, where there is hot food to eat, and where they can sleep in a bed with a blanket, there will definitely be people willing to join.
Jie Jie found a wanderer on the evening of the sixth day.
The hungry wanderer was drinking water by the stream with a dirty Capricorn.
When he saw other people appear, he became extremely alert and pointed the pitchfork in his hand at Jie Jie.
“Stay away from me!”
Jie Jie opened his hands to indicate that he meant no harm, and then threw a bag of wheat cakes, a blanket, and a can of pickled cabbage to the other party. The pickled cabbage can hit the ground and broke the glass, and the sour smell inside immediately spread out.
Both sides kept their distance.
Continue the confrontation.
The Capricorn on the opposite side didn't care about all that. It went to the jar of sauerkraut and chewed it in big mouthfuls, licking even the soup into its stomach, feeling very satisfied.
"Who are you?" the other party asked.
After introducing each other, Jie Jie learned that the other party was called Jie Chong, and was also a Jie-raising person.
After listening to Jie Jie's story, Jie Chong looked alert.
"You are a werewolf spy, right? How could there be a place like the one you described, with food, drink, shelter, and the ability to become a god? You could make up a more normal lie. Who would believe such a big lie?"
“…”
Jie Jie was speechless for a moment.
really.
If I were in the other person's shoes, I wouldn't believe it either.
The weird thing about this is that it's true.
"However, although you are bragging a lot, I don't think you are lying completely."
Jie Chong looked at the ground. "This kind of pickled cabbage is not available locally. The Principality does not use expensive glass to store vegetables. The weaving method of the blanket is not the same as that of the Principality and [Wilso]..."
The other party observed very carefully.
"Since you said there is such a place, then ask the Yao people to show up. I can find out by just talking to them."
Jie Jie lit up the sky lantern in his backpack.
Soon, the flying ship dropped from the sky.
Luca came down from the boat with two skeleton soldiers. He made a stop gesture, took off the sword and shield on his back, and walked to the front of Jie Chong alone.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"I'm Luca, the resettlement captain of the Resurrection Kingdom Army. I'm responsible for accepting and resettling refugees who are willing to join the Yao Clan. Our conditions are very generous. If you have mastered a skill, you can apply to join the Yao Clan, go to the resettlement area to recuperate, and then return to the kingdom with us."
Jie Chong held a pitchfork and shouted to the Skeleton Captain: "I am different from that kid. That kid is a young master, but I grew up in the wild. Don't try to fool me!"
"What is your purpose? Why do you want to recruit us refugees? Are you not in the same group as those werewolves?"
Luca answered these questions one by one.
"We are recruiting skilled people to participate in the construction and production of the future Yao civilization. We are recruiting laborers. You can choose to join or not. It is all free. We will not force conscription."
"The werewolves are under the command of the Wolf God. They are the soldiers who launched a divine war against the titled god here, the Whistleblower. They are them. We are soldiers of the Resurrection Kingdom under the command of Lord Yao God. We are here to take in refugees and will not participate in frontline combat."
"If we had any other ideas, we wouldn't have to go through so much trouble and could have just arrested you, but we didn't do that, so please believe that what I said is the truth."
Jie Chong asked a lot of questions.
After getting further information, he put down his pitchfork and rubbed his nose with his hand: "As long as I'm not a slave... I can raise Capricorns, weave cloth, and catch ground snakes. Do you want me?"
"Yes. We like people with multiple talents."
Luca chuckled.
"I know a few other refugees. I'll take you to them and see if they have the will."
Jie Chong became active after joining the group.
Under his guidance, they came to a desolate mountain area and entered a winding cave. In the dark cave, several people were chewing grains raw, in order to avoid making a fire and attracting the attention of the werewolves.
Two people in this group chose to join.
Next, Jie Chong found two more groups of refugees, and the team that joined the Yao tribe became 7 people.
Just when everyone wanted to return to the camp, a white light suddenly fell from the sky.
Several beams of light were projected onto the ground, and from the light came out fierce-looking werewolf warriors, numbering more than 30. They were armed with bows and maces, and quickly surrounded the refugee group.
"Sure enough, there are still some fish that slip through the net."
The leading werewolf bared his teeth and grinned: "Catch him and take him back."
The werewolves untied the ropes around their waists and surrounded them, brandishing their weapons.
The refugees were uneasy. Jie Jie and Jie Chong both looked at the skeleton soldiers behind them.
Captain Luca took two steps forward, raised his head and chest, and looked at the other leader: "I am Luca, the resettlement captain of the Resurrection Kingdom under the command of God Yao. These are the newly joined Yao civilians. We want to take them back. Please make way."
The werewolves were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Skeleton monster, get out of here! These slaves belong to Lord Wolf God!"
"We will ensure the safety of every member of the Yao tribe. If you don't get out of the way, we will take all necessary actions to protect civilians!" Luca said with great momentum.
The leading werewolf nodded, smiled to the soldiers behind him, turned around and smashed the skeleton captain's chest with his mace.
Luca's left shoulder blade was smashed off, and he staggered, barely staving off the fall.
"So what?"
The werewolf carried the mace and grinned, "What about you?"
"Wolf Guards, capture them! Capricorns must capture them alive, the demonic energy of these guys is good stuff!"
The other werewolves rushed over like hungry tigers.
Jie Jie fell into despair and pain.
Still no use? "Soldiers, defend!" Luca did not give up. He drew the sword on his back with one arm and said, "Protect the civilians!"
Including it, three skeleton soldiers blocked the seven refugees behind them, drew their swords, and pointed the tips forward.
That desperate and determined aura intimidated the werewolves for a moment.
The leading werewolf stopped joking at this time. It looked at the shorter opponent and said, "Skeleton soldiers, get out of the way. You can't stop us. We are all soldiers. There is no need to die in a place like this for a group of slaves."
Luca clenched his iron sword: "You are the ones who should get out of the way."
The werewolf leader regained his ruthlessness: "Kill..."
Its expression suddenly changed and it raised its head sharply.
At some point, flying boats appeared in the sky, and something fell rapidly from the sky.
They were white monsters.
Bang! The object fell from the sky and hit the ground, causing the ground to tremble.
When the werewolf saw the monster's true appearance, his eyes were instantly filled with fear.
Dragon? How could there be a dragon? What on earth is going on?!?
The sturdy white monster has a long tail, and its body made of white bones is full of explosive power and flexibility.
Its wide, toothy jaws opened and closed gently, as if ready to tear apart any prey at any time, and a cruel light flashed in its dark eye sockets.
Although it is a small dragon, a dragon is still a dragon.
The werewolf leader could feel the suffocating pressure.
If it were a one-on-one fight, this skull dragon would eat itself alive.
Bang! Bang! Bang! One after another, bone dragons fell from the sky, and more than a dozen of them lined up. Their eyes flashed red, and the death rays immediately pierced through the wolf guards who were unable to dodge. They immediately bled all over and screamed.
The werewolf leader shouted in panic: "Retreat, retreat, quickly!"
You can’t fight. Fighting hard will only lead to your death!
run! ……
The werewolves came and ran away quickly, leaving only five corpses on the ground, while the others escaped through white light.
Luca trotted all the way to the leading bone dragon.
The bone dragon's chest opened, and a tiny skeleton man wearing a wide-brimmed leather hat jumped out.
"Report to the commander. Luca, the resettlement captain, reports to you that we have found seven refugees who are willing to join the Yao tribe. There are no civilian casualties!"
"Very good, Captain Luca, return to the team."
"yes!"
The commander in the hat turned around and said, "Good evening, everyone. I'm Commander Sidar. I'm sorry to have scared you. We will soon deal with the Wolf Guards. Subsequent patrols and cleanups will be gradually carried out outwards. Don't worry about safety issues."
The refugees who witnessed everything experienced great ups and downs, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then whispered excitedly.
Jie Chong whispered, "This is quite cool... Can a dragon be used as a mount? This is a ferocious monster from the legend..."
"Can we ride dragons in the future?"
Jie Jie said: "There should be a chance."
He looked up at the sky.
In the dark night, the stars are shining, and behind them it seems as if there is a pair of eyes staring at this place.
What kind of god is Yao, the god who created all this? Jie Jie prayed silently in his heart.
Great and strange Lord Yao, this is the first time I pray to you. Thank you very much for your help. I hope I can be as handsome as them in the future...
It would be even better if I could become such a dragon knight!
I will definitely protect civilians like them and never back down!
