Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Numabuchi Kiichiro followed, and was not frightened by the rich woman's dark words. He thought that dying on top would be equivalent to dying at Chi Feichi's hands, so he would not be unwilling. His goal was not to figure out that, so he was relieved, "Oh? Is it his sacrifice? That's okay!"

The rich woman turned her head and caught the ferocity hidden in the eyes of Kiichiro Numabuchi, and she was not frightened. The priest of the gods was fearless, "The newcomers are so devout beyond expectation, no wonder Mr. Sun God will bring you here, And let you live near the Feathered Serpent Temple."

"What's going on here...?" Although Kiichiro Numabuchi didn't want to get entangled, he still couldn't help but want to ask clearly, "I saw technological products below, but..."

"Master Sun God's philosophy is that technology and divine power can help each other," the rich woman walked down the stairs, "sometimes technology is more convenient than divine power, such as the circuit communication base station and satellite network here... without these , our life is not so convenient, but sometimes divine power can provide unimaginable benefits to outsiders. You should try the mountain spring water and food here. Since Lord Shenming established Fifteen Nights City, the water here has become sweet and clear , as long as the crops are slightly processed, they are rare delicacies..."

The two went down the pyramid.

The rich woman arranged a place for Kiichiro Numabuchi, and sent someone to deliver food, and found that Kiichiro Numabuchi didn't know much about the city. After eating, she took Kiichiro Numabuchi to look around and talk about the rules by the way.

"You have been to the Sun Pyramid of the Sun God, over there is the Moon Pyramid of the Night God, the Night God is the red-haired girl you mentioned before, the pyramid is inhabited, the underground is a laboratory, a signal station, The training ground for the warriors, above the altar, I go to the Pyramid of the Sun every day to worship, sometimes in the morning, sometimes at noon, sometimes at dusk..."

"Any precision?"

"I think as long as you go during the day, you can go in the morning or evening in summer. It's not too hot up there, and it's cooler when the wind blows. Walking up and down like this is like exercising, and your appetite will improve after lunch or dinner." Quite a few, in autumn, winter and early spring, go between 12:00 and 3:00, if there is sun, it will be much warmer up there, and you can bask in the sun by the way when you go up to rest..."

Kiichiro Numabuchi: "..."

It's really a combination of scientific exercise and worshiping God, thank you for imparting your experience.

"As for Lord Night's Pyramid of the Moon, I always go there after dark and before going to bed. It can not only digest food, but also sleep soundly at night."

"Does God know that you use worship like this?"

"I probably don't know. After all, it's not their request to walk twice a day. It's because I'm too busy to find something to do, but they won't mind..."

Kiichiro Numabuchi: "..."

"The black building with the towers over there is the Feathered Serpent Temple. The twelve towers correspond to the twelve palaces. They are the places where the gods live and do their activities. If you are not sending things there, or there are no special circumstances, it is best not to go there..."

"Will they be angry?"

"I don't know, but you don't want to experience the wrath of the gods. In our legend, the Feathered Serpent Temple is not a place where you can approach casually. Before the gods get angry, people who approach casually will accept me first. and the wrath of others!"

Kiichiro Numabuchi: "..."

"By the way, this is the Butterfly Palace, the priest's residence, I live here, you can come to me if you need..."

"This road is the Avenue of the Undead, and this area is where everyone lives..."

"The golden eagle warriors of Lord Sun God and the Jaguar warriors of Lord Night God usually study and communicate in the Golden Eagle Palace and Jaguar Palace. There are also many meeting rooms there, and they are the only ones in these two places. people were allowed in..."

"The residences of the golden eagle warrior and the jaguar warrior are near the Feathered Serpent Temple. It is also their duty to inspect and deliver things. Mr. Sun God asked me to arrange you to live there, which means that he wants you to become a master The sword and shield in it..."

After seeing the city, the rich woman took Kiichiro Numabuchi to the outskirts.

On the side of the mountain, there is a steaming rock hot spring, and there is a nest of golden eagles above the rock.

Reservoirs, mountain springs, creeks, farmland and breeding grounds are distributed on both sides of the flat terrain. The crops in the farmland are full of vitality, and the aquatic plants at the bottom of the spring and the bottom of the river are also growing amazingly, providing cover for huge fat swimming fish .

There are many sacrificial squares on these two sides. A large pond was excavated in front of one of the squares. The water in the pond is crystal clear, and the bottom of the pond is covered with various gemstones and agates. Occasionally, small animals run to drink water, which is extremely dreamy.

On the other side of the Feathered Serpent Temple, there is a cliff outside.

The cliff looks like a deep ravine that was split by lightning. A vine suspension bridge connects the two sides. The distance between the wooden pedals is very far. Taking photos under the cliff, you can occasionally see snakes crawling past the cliff and one or two snake holes with snake probes.

And no matter which side it is, the southeast, the north, and the west, there is a dense forest like a virgin forest.

The big tree covering the sky seems to have grown for hundreds of thousands of years, and the unrealistically thick vines hang down. There are countless animals living in it. Compared with the captive animals in the breeding place, there are more kinds of animals here. Wilderness is also stronger.

The rich woman only led the way to the front of the jungle, and when she went deeper, there were no dirt roads opened by anyone. She turned around and walked back, "After Lord God established the Fifteen Nights City, the animals have become much stronger, probably because the environment is too good. The animals in the depths of the forest reproduce wantonly, and some big guys are not very good-tempered. If you break into their territory casually, you will be attacked. Moreover, there are more poisonous animals and plants in the depths of the forest. Usually, we can’t interact with them. Excuse me, we live our lives, we will not come to disturb them casually, they are also in the depths of the jungle, hunting and breeding, they will not come to our side to hunt and kill the livestock we raise, even near the road that leaves here, deep in the jungle The animals in the place will not come near..."

Kiichiro Numabuchi reached out and touched the rough bark of the big tree by the side of the road, "There are also fireflies, right?"

"I haven't been to the depths of the jungle for a long time, especially at night, but there are springs, ponds, and rivers." The rich woman smiled, "Occasionally on summer nights, there will be groups of fireflies flying around. After crossing the farmland and flying to the city, everyone will take their children to enjoy the cool air on the street and by the pond. By the way, sometimes there are large-scale activities in the Moon Square, and bonfires are lit, and everyone dances our traditional sacrificial dance together. Depending on the time, probably It’s when the gods come over, so there will be tonight.”

"It's like a fairyland in the legend..." Kiichiro Numabuchi followed the rich woman all the way back, his eyes softened a lot, "It's not far from Tokyo, but it's like another world, even if you live here all your life, It won't be boring either."

The rich woman looked at Kiichiro Numabuchi with a smile, "This is where the gods live!"

Numabuchi Kiichiro was taken aback, turned his head to the other side, walked in the mountains and forests, looked at the smiling face of the old woman in front of him, he suddenly thought of his grandma, and he seemed to have returned to his childhood, which made him feel sad for no reason .

Sadness was a feeling he hadn't felt for a long time, and at the same time, there was an unspeakable sense of relief, as if walking here once, he could get rid of the pain in the past, the evaluation of the outside world, and regain a new life.

Yes, his appearance and fingerprints have also changed, like a newborn who has grown up again from childhood.

"The power of the gods..."

"What?" The rich woman couldn't hear Kiichiro Numabuchi's murmur.

Numabuchi Kiichiro's eyes were tough, but his murderous intent was revealed again, "Master Sun God has given me too many gifts, and wherever he wants me to be, I will be there!"

"It is only with this determination that we can protect the glory of warriors," the rich woman smiled even more heartily. "Many young people hope to become warriors. That is glory!"

When Chi Feichi went to bed late, there were religious bosses helping him to complete the brainwashing work. The rich woman and Kiichiro Numabuchi went back together. Kiichiro Numabuchi said "Sir God of the Sun" in one mouthful, and he called it more and more smoothly, and he understood The situation in Fifteen Nights City.

Among all people, only those who meet a certain standard can join the Golden Eagle Palace and Jaguar Palace. There are children who are selected to study because of their intelligence, young people with strong dreams of fighting, and some who are old but They are tough and know how to deploy and command, and some are agile...

After becoming a soldier, he will participate in high-intensity learning and training. He doesn't have to worry about his daily expenses, board and lodging at all. When he gets tired, someone can deliver things to his door.

However, the people in Fifteen Nights City did not choose to become warriors for enjoyment, but to fight for it as glory.

The villagers of Fifteen Nights City are generally strong in physique. The rich woman can climb the pyramids back and forth a few times and she is still full of energy. There are also a lot of soldiers, but some of them are only responsible for guarding the village and will not be called if there is no accident. That's the real 'God's Guard'.

Those who are not suitable to join the fighters will also receive intensive training. It is probably enough to have an appearance. They can either choose to farm, or go to the mountains to collect herbs, or be craftsmen who open up ponds and build squares. The growth here is many times stronger than that of the outside world. In addition, there is a god of "technology combined with divine power" here. Once various equipment is installed, a small number of people can support the whole city by farming and breeding. They are usually very leisurely and like to work in the fields they are interested in. Study weird stuff.

A boy who is keen on poisonous weeds and fruits dares to go into the jungle alone with a bow, arrow and knife on his back. A girl who is determined to make the best snacks in the world, besides improving her skills, is looking for Strange ingredients, almost evolved into a dark pastry chef.

More and more people want to try everything, and if they can't do it to death, they will do it to death.

"You can go out for a while if you want to leave the village. Just be careful and don't let people find out that there is a problem with your identity. After all, the outside world thinks that everyone here is dead, and we don't have a proper identity certificate," the rich woman said with emotion. "The most important thing is not to disclose the existence and location of Fifteen Nights City, otherwise we will suffer retribution! But we have served the gods here for generations, isolated from the world, and not many people always run outside."

Numabuchi Kiichiro thought of the question about whether to kill or not in July, so he asked, "Master Sun God...will he kill?"

"I don't know about that," the rich woman turned her head, with a weird smile on her wrinkled face, as if she had transformed from a priest of light into an old witch in a second, "What do you think?"
