Monster Hunting High School

Zheng Qing didn't want to turn into a squirming ball of flesh.

Especially I don't want to accept such a curse for some inexplicable reason. Therefore, he was very cautious in choosing tributes to Bastet.

"How about salted frogs?" Fatty Xin gave his own suggestion.

"Wusa City is not Linzhong Lake, and His Highness Bastet is not the god of the fish-men tribe." Xiao Xiao was the first to deny: "If there is salted rat, it would be a good choice."

"There is really no such thing." The fat man looked through his watch catalog and shook his head: "Because of the underground rat clan of the First University, the island is very cautious in treating rat products... and in fact, not many people like to eat rats. ”

Zheng Qing subconsciously glanced at the brown figures with shiny fur.

The ancestors trembled at his sight.

The wizard shook his head slightly. Although these enchanted rats roughly looked like rats, there were no real rats with a ring of squid tentacles around their mouths, and there were no rats that flapped their chests to communicate with each other.

Instead of angering the gods with fake products, it is better to give up this trick.

"How about salt water taffy? Or mint juice? I heard that cats like mint... Or Lourdes' holy water is also good. I still have a lot of stock here." Fatty Xin continued to check the directory on his watch.

Zheng Qing took a deep breath.

"Catnip is not mint," he said, trying to control his expression and tone: "Besides, there has never been any precedent of offering salt water taffy to gods..."

"Outer gods shouldn't like Lourdes holy water," Xiao Xiao said, "It's like someone visiting your home and bringing you a bucket of aqua regia as a gift."

Lourdes holy water is a magical potion used by wizards to cleanse pollution from the depths of the stars. The effect is very significant. But as Xiao Xiao said, precisely because of this effect, it may not be very popular with the gods of the past.

"Aqua regia is very good. It is useful for preparing medicines and experiments." The fat man muttered in a low voice, then noticed the scary look in the young public student's eyes, and immediately changed his tune: "Since holy water is not good, just eat something...such as beef jerky, braised pork, etc." Chicken legs, sauced pig's trotters, roast chicken, roast duck, sausages, meat jerky...Chicken can be cut in white, braised in braised sauce, braised, fried, roasted, steamed..."

"Are they all for food?" Zheng Qing couldn't help but interrupt the fat man: "Are there any pig heads? A whole one? Or a cow head too."

"You want to offer three sacrifices?" The fat man was keenly aware of the wizard's intention.

"I think this is the safest sacrifice." Zheng Qing replied cautiously.

Xiao Xiao shook his head, and also rejected Zheng Qing's idea: "It's not certain whether there are pigs, cows, and sheep in the dreamland in the real world. Even if there are, should we offer a major animal, a minor animal, or a minor animal to His Highness Bastet? The three animals of Jade Department? Pig, cow, sheep, fish, chicken, deer, deer, muntjac...how should we choose?”

Zheng Qing felt a little dizzy after hearing this.

He only knew that sacrificing three animals was an ancient ritual in the magical world, but he didn't know that there were so many details involved.

"Then do you have any other suggestions?" He looked around and tried to brainstorm: "It's not limited to food...anything the gods like can be used."

Xiao Xiao glanced at him silently, which made him feel scared in his heart.

Fortunately, Jiang Yu spoke in time to get rid of the uneasiness that was coming from him: "How about jade or gems? As far as I know, most gods like these that are full of magic and mystery, and are very beautiful. Stones make gifts.”

Zheng Qing was a little moved.

But there are only some, because if you want to express your gratitude to a god, you can't get rid of it with just one or two ordinary gems. Even many wizarding families would find it difficult to afford such an expensive cost.

Xiao Xiao glanced at him again.

Zheng Qing turned his face, blocking out the doctor's 'malicious' gaze, and looked at Nikita.

"Can you give me any good sacrifices?" He asked directly without any politeness.

"Sacrifice, another sacrifice... bah." The banshee rolled her eyes and replied rudely: "I hate this word... so the answer is no."

Zheng Qing shook the rune gun in his hand.

"If you can't come up with a suitable sacrifice, then I have to put you on the plate." He sincerely apologized to the banshee: "I'm very sorry, I can't send you to the dark prison... but as far as I know , the demons who are sacrificed to the gods will be forgiven in the end, so this matter is not so bad for you."

The corners of Nikita's mouth twitched, and the disgusted expression on his face disappeared instantly, forming a fake smile.

"I heard that the great elder of Usa City Temple likes fine wine?" She didn't want to be sacrificed by blood, so she could only try her best to help Zheng Qing solve the current problem.

Zheng Qing glanced at the fat man, and after receiving a look of approval, he nodded: "That's the case."

"Then I happen to have a gift that the great elder and this world will like."

…

…

"This is..." Elder Atal looked at the mahogany box in front of him, his eyes moved slightly, and he hesitated for a while before asking: "Do you plan to use this as a tribute?"

The box is very simple. There are no beautiful gems inlaid on it, nor are there any complicated magic patterns carved on it. Even the copper lock on the box mouth has only an ordinary leaf surface.

Lying in the box was a clear, wide-mouthed glass bottle wrapped in thick velvet. There are several coils of copper wire tied around the cork at the mouth of the bottle. Through the transparent bottle wall, you can see the milky white mist rolling around in the bottle, like bits of breathing marshmallows.

Zheng Qing glanced at Nikita, feeling very curious in his heart.

Outside the city of Uzza, under the threat of his 'blood sacrifice', the banshee quickly took out her sacrifice. But she refused to explain the nature of this sacrifice to the young wizards, saying only that this gift was very rare and valuable to all existences in the Dreamland.

Naturally, Zheng Qing would not approve of the banshee's sacrifice just because of her one-sided words.

But they were wizards, and there were other roundabout ways to confirm.

Xiao Xiao picked up dead branches and dry moss and lit a fire; Jiang Yu cleaned the bone fragments and tortoise shells; Fatty Xin and Zhang Jixin prepared a divination ritual - just in case, Zheng Qing also provided his own red playing cards bit as additional protection for this divination.

In the smoke, the tortoise shell and bone fragments made a popping sound, and tiny cracks spread.

The fortune tellers of the Exoneration Hunting Team carefully studied the cracks and combined the divination results of the crystal ball, tarot cards and yarrow to confirm that the tribute provided by Nikita would gain the friendship of Ursa City and the joy of Bastet.

So they came to the temple again.

"Memory is something more fascinating than power." Nikita recalled what Captain Misty once said. He looked at the great elder of the temple and smiled slightly: "This world was born in the echo of memory. After a long period of time, The fermentation of time has become reality... Therefore, there is no gift that is more in line with the origin of this world. "
