The red door opens in creak, revealing the screen wall inside. The swordswoman and her cat walk into the courtyard carefully, with tension on their faces that can''t be hidden. It''s dangerous to let atta act alone, so cheese specially embroidered a few patterns, or charms, on her robe with blood stained stitches. The effect of these charms is just to make people feel that the wearer is not impressive, but sometimes they can still play a significant role. In particular, ATA put some pieces of cloth in her clothes to make her body curve look closer to that of men.
Of course, such a simple cross dressing is not enough to hide the assassin''s eyes. It is kelas, who follows her, secretly guards and eliminates the spies who want to send messages. After all, no one cares about a black cat compared to a female swordsman.
"Meet me in the nave." The voice came from the invisible place, not the roar of shouting, but as if there was a person whispering in his ear. This is not magic, because the owner here is not a wizard. He is a hermit, or a stone carver. Shizhongsheng, this is certainly not a name, but a nickname. Sometimes it is more authentic than the name given by his parents. Because the name is given, but the name is earned.
One man and one cat walked around the stone wall and came to the courtyard. They were naturally frightened by the stone statues displayed here. Even in the daytime, these silent sculptures seem to jump at any time, which is all due to the excellent craftsmanship and the painstaking efforts of the sculptors.
Goblins are often described as the existence related to art. Many goblins have magical power to give inspiration and creative ability to ordinary people. In fact, this is not very accurate. To a great extent, the performance of art depends on its internal kinetic energy, that is, the art works as dead objects radiate vitality different from ordinary objects, and goblins are only sensitive to this.
This also explains why for cheese, they are just exquisite stone carvings, but they can shock ATA for a long time. Cat goblins and demigoblins can perceive through their unique senses that these works are not only stones that have changed their shape, but also that there is something inside them that has been awakened. Therefore, for a moment, the viewer will think that they are Living individuals.
Shock, it will be healed. They walked through the stone road to the main house at the end of the courtyard. Just like the gate of the courtyard, the door of the house was opened. Stepping on the steps in front of the house, there is a vivid statue of a fox. An old man is holding a stone carving tool, beating on the imperfect details on the statue.
In fact, stone carvings are not too fine, because they are to be placed outdoors to let the wind and rain hit things, too fine lines will soon lose their original appearance after being washed out. As a stone Carver, the old man would not know that the details he decorated were not limited to the things in the corner.
"You sit down first, this side is almost finished." Mr. Shi didn''t look at the two people who entered the room. He just said a word casually and continued to put himself into his sculpture. Keiras and ATA looked at each other, but they were not in a hurry. The question is, where does this room look like there''s a place to sit? Even the futon and the only chair made by cheese last time disappeared. The room was so empty that only a few pillars indicated that it was not outdoor.
However, ATA can only choose to sit on the ground against the pillar, her arrow wound has not recovered, can reduce the activity as far as possible or to reduce.
"Ding Dong, Ding Dong" the sound of rock and metal collision should have been very sharp, the two hard materials are hard to match together, it must be difficult to be gentle. But in this empty hall, the sound of stone carving is not so harsh, but contains some subtle rhythm. ATA leaned against the pillar, her spirit changed from nervous to relaxed. Finally, listening to the percussion, she fell asleep.
"Well This injury is not good, and then walk out, it is inevitable to leave the root of the disease. It''s true that the younger generation is too much of a fool. They always have to rush to finish the work in an instant, but they don''t know that when they have finished, they will be done. Why? " The whispering around wakes the sleeping ATA. She looks up and sees old Shi standing in front of her. She seems to have changed a suit of clothes. I''m talking to keiras next to me.
"I''m very sorry. I didn''t seem to fall asleep." ATA''s face reddened a little, but instead of exclamation or other movements, she rose from the ground with grace. This kind of ability to change was obviously praised by Shi Lao. His eyes softened when he looked at ATA. He took out a small porcelain vase from his wide sleeve and handed it to the female swordsman.
"The girl is not a person to practice Qi, so I can''t dredge the channels for you. These pills are made by myself. You can wash them with hot water and apply them to the wound. Once a day, one pill at a time. When the pills in the bottle are used up, the blood stasis in your wound should be cleared. The general purpose of your coming here has been informed to me by Mr. cat. I also have some predestination with the cheese and the seven swords in your mouth. In addition, the causes and consequences of this matter have a great relationship with the residents of the city, so we should help with our feelings and reasons. "
"Do you mean you''re willing to do it?" ATA smiles, and the goal they hope to achieve this time is to ask old stone and fisherman to help. These two are the most powerful people they have seen in the rush. But the fisherman''s side, own sword seven to say, a TA has not had contact with the fisherman before, the former''s perverse character, is likely not willing to talk to her. However, although it was not easy for him to talk about it, he was more reasonable. He asked the two people to come over to state the cause of the matter. There was still possibility that he would promise to help."It''s not right. Don''t rush to a conclusion." The old man touched his beard and took them back to the middle of the room. The statue that had been put there has been moved to the yard. It is amazing that the moving of such a heavy statue did not wake ata in the house. Without stone carvings, there are three more chairs and a table in the room. The table is a little short, with a teapot and three teacups on it.
ATA sat on the chair with some uneasiness. She wanted to ask if kelas Shi was willing to help. However, since she woke up, the cat goblin looked thoughtful and did not respond to ATA''s eyes. However, Mr. Shi noticed the helplessness of the female swordsman. He reached for the teapot and poured a cup for each of them.
"I will help you. But it''s not what you think. As you said, those insects that flow down from upstream are really terrible. They are evil. However, the sun rises and falls, and sometimes spring and autumn. It is not normal to say that snow is abnormal because it snows in winter and freezes to death. This is what I say. If you go to an old drunkard, he will say the same thing. We can''t stop the city if we should. If there is no such robbery here, you can stop it. The reason why we two old fellows came here is to avoid the great righteousness and fame that we had to do. Otherwise, it will not be called seclusion. "
"But if you don''t, what can you do for us?" ATA asked softly. Perhaps it was because of her first meeting that she was not unhappy with Shi Lao''s refusal. Anyway, she was given medicine to cure her trauma when she met. This kindness will not be fake.
With a smile, the old man took several things out of his sleeve and put them on the table in turn. They were four pendants made of jade, three of which were carved with lions and one of which was a creature that ARTA had never seen before.
"This is what I can do for you. These three jade lions can help you. As for the dragon, it''s given to you alone. Since I carved it many years ago, I haven''t found anyone to give it to. As soon as I see the girl today, I know that it was prepared for you long ago. "
