Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 878 Wizard Zhu Tang
"Don't look, don't talk..."

Aiwas nodded with interest: "Mr. Mu and Zhu Tang Wizard... May Sizhu protect you."

It sounded like a very memorable feature, but he didn't know these two people.

To put it the other way around, at least they are not BOSSs, which means they are not dangerous people.

Zhu Tang closed his eyes, put his right hand on his chest and nodded slightly as a casual greeting, and said in a slightly awkward English: "Thank you, Mr.

That is not the etiquette of the primitive people, but the etiquette within the Herasser cultural circle.

But Aiwass switched to the Taichu language: "You two are coming from Anxi?"

It was the first time he had seen a Primordial Man, which made Aiwas very excited.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Tang's face suddenly showed astonishment.

His eyeballs moved, as if he wanted to open them to see. But in the end, he kept his eyes closed, and his tone became surprised and high-pitched: "Sir, you can speak Taichu language? You are quite knowledgeable."

Compared with Aiwass, his Taichu language is not very standard, mixed with some Nanjing dialect.

Aiwass listened, but smiled and said, "I understand a little bit, but I'm afraid I don't speak it very standardly."

He mixed in some dialect as well, which made Jutang laugh and become visibly more relaxed.

And when he was relaxed, he had a kind of faint arrogance - it was a kind of self-confidence that was obviously due to his big city background and being in the same cultural circle.

But just as he was about to say something, he suddenly shuddered and was stunned.

He tapped his right thumb on his other fingers a few times quickly, then said cautiously, "Can I touch your horns, sir?"

He hadn't even opened his eyes, but he knew that Aiwass had grown horns.

Hearing this, Cardinal Galatea suddenly turned around and looked at Aiwass.

She obviously understood Taichu's words. Now she was asking Aiwass whether this was appropriate.

"It doesn't matter."

Aiwass comforted Galatea, then bowed his head slightly: "Why not."

Then he lowered his head slightly. Although the Zhutang wizard could not see, he seemed to have some sense. He felt around for a while and confirmed the antler on Aiwass's forehead, as well as its strange temperature... and the strange feeling of being healed by holding it.

This seemed to frighten him, almost as if he was electrocuted, and he immediately stood up and saluted Aiwass - different from the chest-touching salute that Xingti and Narcissus had popularized before, this time he bowed very properly, with his hands in front of him, then knelt three times, kowtowed three times after each kneeling, and at the same time whispered something in his mouth.

That was the ceremony of three bows and nine kowtows - this etiquette was rarely used even for the monarch, and only for the emperor and the gods.

And Aiwass didn't stop him.

This etiquette is exactly in line with the sacred number of the candlelighter. This is obviously the etiquette for the candlelighter.

Now that he is the son of Sizhu, he can really bear it.

After all, the Nine Pillars are universal. Except for the Silver Crown Dragon, all the Pillars were born before humans were born, and every ancient civilization that has survived to this day has at least one Pillar protecting them. It's just that each country calls them by different names... Their real names and honorific names are not fixed by nature. For example, "Candles" and "Twin Mirrors" are all names given by the elves, and they have different names in different places.

For example, the sand clock was named by the elves, while the Helasil people would call it "hourglass", and the Taichu people would call it Zhuanxu. Although according to Aiwass's understanding and speculation, the way of dedication should not be too popular in the Taichu Empire... Taichu should be a country that mainly pursues the way of balance, but it is also a pillar god after all.

In the Herasl cultural circle, the main reason why Sizhu is the supreme god is not because Sizhu opened up the nine source rivers... but because the elves revere Sizhu as the supreme god. The main reason is that the elves are the children of the giant tree, and the giant tree is the apostle of Sizhu.

The Herasil Empire is too close to the Theocracy, and the entire Herasil civilization is basically dependent on the elves, so their naming style, language culture, and beliefs are similar to those of the elves.

But outside the influence circle of the Theocracy, Sizhu is not necessarily the Supreme God.

But one thing is certain - nine is the ultimate number, nine is the most sacred number. The principle of the holy number brought by the Nine Pillars is universal everywhere.

After the grand ceremony, the wizard Zhu Tang became noticeably more obedient.

He closed his eyes tightly, not daring to open them at all. Instead, he lowered his head and spoke slowly and word by word in the most standard Taichu language possible: "Mr. Mu and I met from Anxi, but we are not Anxi people." "The Anxi people...are all having a hard time, especially recently. It seems that there is a drought over there, and there is a great shortage of water, so there is not much food. I saw people starving to death and their bodies were exposed in the desert, dried up by the wind into a horrible appearance. I also saw people eating each other. Even in the year of the great disaster, it was no more than this, but those good lords even built fountains in the center of the city...but if anyone tried to drink or steal the water in it, they would be captured, sold into slavery, or used as ritual consumables.

"In Anxi, the words of the good masters are the only law. If you don't obey the 'good masters', you may be captured and sold as goods; if you obey the good masters, you will lose your dignity and have to do some immoral things.

"I don't like it, and so does Mr. Mu. So we wanted to help these civilians, at least to keep them alive. But we offended the local benefactors, so we were surrounded. Fortunately, we all have skills, so we were able to break out. But we broke out in the wrong direction in the desert, and it's not easy to go back... so we can only continue to go west."

"Do you want to go back?"

Aiwass asked.

Zhu Tang smiled bitterly: "Who doesn't want to go home? Besides, if I don't go back, my family might get into trouble. That's why I want to come here. If I have enough money, I can hire a team to cross the desert and send me back."

Hearing this, Aiwass suddenly fell silent.

Zhu Tang continued, "To be honest, I was a criminal. I was exiled three times by the emperor to a small border town near Parthia. The winter solstice is the 'Dark Night Festival' of Parthia. They will stay up all night together on this day to spend the 'longest dark night of the year'. After this day, every night will be shorter than the day itself, so 'everything will be fine'.

"I was invited by my friend to come and watch the ceremony. It was because of my meddling that I ended up like this."

"If you were given another chance," Cardinal Galatea suddenly asked in an ancient language, "would you still care about this?"

"……Tube."

After a brief silence, Zhu Tang still said firmly: "A gentleman in the world has things he should do and things he shouldn't do. Turning a blind eye is also unrighteous!"

Although Aiwass didn't know what he encountered, he had a rough guess.

"I understand."

Aiwass nodded: "I will help."

He may not have time to go to Taichu, but he will definitely go to the ancient Parthia later.

Zhu the Wizard was mainly worried about whether he would be ambushed by the good masters he had offended when he returned - this was a very real worry. After all, although the good masters attacked each other, they were essentially people of the same class. Such "rebellious people" who openly opposed the good masters would most likely be publicly and jointly attacked.

Even if he is a great wizard who has surpassed the Tao, it is still the same. The ancient country of Parthia has a lot of background, and it even has powerful people at the fifth level.

Not to mention the fourth energy level...even if it is the fifth energy level, it is not that easy to fight against the malice of a country.

Not to mention that he is a moral person. A moral person is even more restrained in his actions.

...But it must be said that if he wants to make money to hire a team to send him back, it is estimated that he will not be able to return even after all his family members die. In the case that all the good masters may be hostile, it must be at least multiple fifth levels to send him safely.

The Pope's words might be useful, but they might not be. Especially since Aiwass had already told Cardinal Belisarius to "go for it", the relationship between the Church and the Parthian Empire was likely to deteriorate.

It's really only Aiwass who can help him with this.

But all this is based on the assumption that this relic can be developed normally...

But seeing that the people recruited by Master Chongbo were becoming more and more valuable, Aiwass had realized that this relic was probably not that simple.

He has made up his mind -

What kind of purple equipment is dug out from the ruins this time is secondary.

The main task is to protect these people... not to let any of them be killed.

It seems difficult.

But for the Eternal Pope, this is not difficult.

"We'll be leaving tomorrow," Aiwass looked at the people, raised his hand and gave a calming blessing, "Get some rest tonight, everyone."

Before we knew it, Aiwass, who joined last, became the captain of the team.
