Chapter 49 Chapter 49 "What is this?" During the day...
"What is this?" Bai Tianming took out a book from Boaz's pocket. He felt that it looked familiar, as if he had seen it before, but he couldn't remember where, so he asked.
"I took this from the priest," Boaz replied dazedly after taking a look. "The priest treated it like a treasure, and I was curious about what it contained. So I used cloning magic and copied a copy for myself. I haven't even read it yet."
He paused for a moment, as if in a dream, as if he had suddenly picked up a piece of candy while running. He smiled and said, "This thing seems to be related to Bai Tianming, but I don't know how exactly it is related."
"Father, why would I let you use copy magic on this thing?" Bai Tianming flipped through the notebook in his hand. In the notebook were some things he had written in the past, about formations and the like. He wrote whatever came to his mind, and it was not formal at all. When he finished writing, he lost it and it was impossible to find it. Therefore, Bai Tianming stared at his messy notes in the past with a complicated expression, and asked hesitantly.
"Of course he doesn't agree!" Boaz cried out. "But how could I give up so easily?"
He laughed, as if he was drunk, with two particularly obvious blushes on his face: "I did it secretly when he wasn't paying attention. I don't need his permission."
Boaz took two breaths, his voice weakened, his eyes narrowed, as if he was about to fall asleep, and his speech became slower and slower: "He regarded that thing as more important than his own eyeballs, and dared not even touch it. He placed it on a shelf in a transparent box and even embedded the shelf in the wall, using a lot of formations to protect it. But, I got it for free!
When he's not around, I just cast the copy magic in and take the copied items away. It's so easy! No one else can get in! I'm the only one who has it!"
Before he finished speaking, he had fallen asleep.
"Is this important to you?" Sada came over and took a look at the notebook, then asked Bai Tianming tentatively.
Bai Tianming blinked, put the notebook aside, smiled and replied, "It's not important." It wasn't important before, and it's not important now.
He had never cared much about the completed notebook. It was always going to be thrown away, so what could be so important? As for this one, it was just Boaz's comment, and the true meaning of it was still unknown. Perhaps Boaz had misunderstood. Even if it was real, it was just a replica. No matter how important it was, it was only a replica. There was no need to pay too much attention to it.
What's more, Boaz would definitely not ask the priest about the situation in person. Since the priest did not tell him in person, this is a very important thing, so no matter how important it is, it must not be that important.
Late at night, Bai Tianming sat alone in the room, recalling the past.
Many years ago, he left his kingdom and went out to play, and first went to hell. Therefore, he created a demon body for himself, which was the one Sada had seen.
After all, there are the most numerous creatures in hell, and the most powerful ones are still demons. If there is something to be done, being a demon is the most suitable person, and it is the most suitable for hell. He does have a lot of fun in hell as a demon.
He no longer remembered the specific details, but after leaving hell, the identity of a devil was no longer suitable, so he changed to a new one. Since he was moving within the range of human activities, he created a human body to walk around in.
At that time, humans were still under the rule of the Ancients, who created Shoggoths to assist in various construction activities. The Shoggoths then built wealth belonging to the Ancients on the ground.
The sound of construction woke up the ghouls hiding in the jungle. The ghouls followed the Shoggoths like hyenas, obtained some human corpses, ate them, and built a group of tombs and lived in them.
The great race of Is would occasionally come to visit. They had no interest in the bodies of the Ancients, but after trying the Shoggoths, they finally decided that the human body was the most suitable for them to travel the world.
They often control humans to wander around, and from time to time, because they don't know whether humans can live in water, they control their bodies to jump into the sea and eventually drown.
Before their bodies are drowned, they usually encounter Cthulhu's followers, Dagon's followers, a creature called the Deep One, which looks like a combination of fish and humans.
Protruding fish-like eyes, no eyelids, pale skin, flat nose, almost completely missing teeth, long, wet, fat tongue, watery red.
Transparent membranes grew between their fingers and toes, so when they walked, they did not resemble humans. They only had a human appearance, and the specific details were like fish.
Sometimes, the great race would control humans to enter the unexplored dark forest, where they would see the shadow of the Black Goat Mother and build shrines and temples of Shub-Niggurath. More often, they would see black goat kids.
This dire living environment for humans persisted until the Ancients weakened and fell into a deep sleep, the Shoggoths ran out of food, the sea retreated deeper and further away from the land, and the Deep Ones were forced to move to the darker waters. The Dark Young, driven by deforestation, migrated to more remote canyons...
At that time, he had been wandering on the land for a long time and began to feel bored. He wanted to leave, but unexpectedly he met a group of people.
This group of people is not large in number and not very strong. They can only barely survive, but it is impossible for them to live well. They are gathered around a fire, discussing what to do next.
He appeared not far from them, neatly dressed, with a calm expression and brisk steps. His hands were empty, with no wounds or bloodstains. He was alone and had nothing with him.
They saw him and were undoubtedly startled.
Because their hair was messy, their clothes were untidy, their shoes were dirty, they smelled like they hadn't been properly washed for several months, and their cheeks were smeared with mud to prevent mosquitoes and hide themselves.
If they are lucky, there will be something special in the mud they take, and they can use the smell of the mud to drive away the wild beasts.
If they are unlucky and there is something in the mud that they cannot tolerate, they will wail and fester, roll on the ground, attract unnecessary danger, and eventually die.
They were a group of people and could not compare to Bai Tianming alone. They all felt that they should ask Bai Tianming to stay. No matter what he did, as long as he stayed with them, their lives would be better.
They reached a consensus on this point and extended an invitation to Bai Tianming. After considering it, Bai Tianming accepted their invitation and stayed with them.
They began to think about where they would live next.
Bai Tianming picked a place at random. He had been there before. There was a water source nearby, a cliff on one side, and a dense forest not far away, with trees full of sweet fruits.
The bad thing may be that there are often groups of wild beasts raiding here.
After all, when they gather here, they must set up a warehouse, and the warehouse often needs to store food, which really attracts wild beasts.
Originally they were unable to win, but Bai Tianming was there, and he had plenty of ways. He found the Shoggoths, and the Shoggoths ate the beasts that attacked the camp.
This is how life is supposed to be, and we can get by.
But suddenly one day, a shepherd passed by not far away.
At that time, Bai Tianming and his companions had already lived in the camp for quite some time. Further away from them, human beings had begun to gather and try to build villages or towns.
Although it was difficult, they did take action and it was very effective. Some time after they started to contact each other, the shepherd's reputation suddenly emerged.
He was free and traveled with no one, but was accompanied by a group of black goat kids. Therefore, he did not stay in any place for long and was always wandering.
It was clearly confirmed during the day that the places where the shepherd stopped when wandering were mostly in human gathering places, and a small part of the time in places where there were no people. It seemed that he stopped wherever he went, but if you had his route map, you would find that he took a straight road most of the time and his goal was very clear.
He just wanted to walk through all the human settlements, and walk in a straight line. It didn't matter if he stopped occasionally in deserted places, as if this was a necessary price for him.
From this perspective, it is not surprising that he passed by Bai Tianming and his friends' camp.
Ming Tian sensed the movement caused by the flock of sheep he was driving in the morning, so he was waiting for him at the intersection.
He sat on the back of a black goat, closed his eyes, and swayed with the goat's walking, as if humming a song, but without words, and just singing whatever came to his mind, just like him.
The flock of sheep passed by Bai Tianming, and the shepherd's black goat stopped in front of Bai Tianming. The shepherd slowly opened his eyes and looked at Bai Tianming.
Before he came here, he had heard about things here, so he was not completely ignorant. But even so, when he saw Bai Tianming with his own eyes, he was still shocked.
He held his breath, got off the back of the black goat, sat opposite Bai Tianming, and stared at Bai Tianming with an indescribable look of amazement.
"Can I ask why you're here?" Bai Tianming poured him a glass of water and asked tentatively. After all, here, close to the water source, there was plenty of water, so there was no need to be stingy.
"Yes," the shepherd took the cup of water, sniffed it like a sheep, and didn't drink it. He just smiled and said, "I passed by a shrine to the Black Goat Mother and gained the ability to command some of the black goat kids. From now on, I will represent the Black Goat Mother and patrol the human territory until I select the best piece and offer it as a sacrifice to the Black Goat Mother."
