Goddess Wanhua Mirror

However, this simple and insignificant happiness did not last until the blissful moment of natural awakening, and was quickly broken by Aina who broke into the door.

"Junior Sister! Wake up and go to work!"

Hydera, who was awakened, sat up suddenly, and looked at the white-haired senior sister who was carrying a big broom outside the door with a dazed expression. Her brain, which had not been fully activated because her body temperature was not high enough, thought about it for a minute. For a long time, she couldn't retrieve the other party's name from her memory.

"You...Abaaba..."

"What are you talking about!?"

Drowsily dragged out of the bed, Hydera finally woke up fully after being rubbed violently with a wet face cloth.

It turns out that I am no longer a monster!

It has been less than two months since the official start of the "human training". This snake lady, who is exactly a monster lord, has completely adapted to the new way of life, and she is very happy with it.

Once upon a time, Hydera, who was still in the form of a monster, had a strong contempt for almost all humanoid creatures.I feel that these "little ones" are very weak, and in this cruel world of the jungle, they must be at the bottom of the sad food chain.In front of a powerful self, he let it be slaughtered like a small snack one bite at a time.

At that time, she knew very little about the human race. She always felt that they were similar to the lizardmen who enshrined her. They must also live in dirty and damp lairs. Running around on the line of life and death, life is precarious.

It wasn't until she met Lu De, who was forcibly transformed into a human form by the other party with incredible power, and brought into human society, that she didn't know how wrong she had been in the past hundreds of years.

As usual, Hydera, who was dressed neatly after washing, cleaned up with the other two senior sisters first thing every day, and then went to the dining room together to eat the delicious breakfast made by junior sister Romean.The freshly baked couscous bread and steaming pork bone soup are the most delicious things she has ever eaten in her life, and Romean, who can make such delicious food, naturally becomes Hydera's favorite choice for Lude. Besides, the second object of respect.

Hydera knows her current identity in the human world. She is a nun who believes in Evelina, the God of Medicine.There are three other nuns in the temple, and I call them "Senior Sister" and "Junior Sister" on weekdays.

Besides the four of them, there are other various people and creatures living in this "tribe".And Lude, who possesses great strength, is undoubtedly the supreme "Master Chief" of this tribe!

At least at this stage, Hydera understands it this way.

Regarding her new life after becoming a human, Hydera was very at a loss at first, and she just followed the crowd. Lude did whatever Lude asked her to do. Obedience and fear had already been forcibly transformed into a human being, along with the unforgettable pain. imprinted in her soul.

However, as the time of contact grew, Hydera gradually discovered that this big devil who has the ability to round and flatten her at will is actually not that scary on weekdays, and occasionally he is very gentle. She was very useful and happy for a long time.

During these days of living in the temple, Hydera has no resistance to chores such as cleaning. What really makes her dizzy is the daily compulsory "cultural class". She once thought it was some kind of punishment!

However, in fact, Hydera's brain is not stupid. Among the four nuns, she is the fastest learner, she just started late.In addition, when Kumilad did not leave, he told Lude that Hydera actually had the talent to become a magician, so she could try to learn magic.

In the final analysis, the so-called "monsters" are actually magicians among animals. Because of their strong affinity for elements, they can use some primitive types of magic.Since Hydera can grow into a Warcraft lord, it is naturally the strongest in terms of talent.

However, before formally learning magic, Lude must first bring Hydera's cultural level to a responsive level.

After breakfast, Hydera, as usual, took the initiative to go to the study to receive "one-on-one" private lessons from Lude.Right now, the school is on autumn vacation, so Lude can focus on educating Hydera.

It is worth mentioning that Snake Lady had skipped a class before at the instigation of the elder sister Shanisi, but when Lude found out, he took out the "Book of Ashes" and summoned her directly.

After that, Hydera never dared to skip class.

When Hydera went to the study, the Luddites were not there yet.She remembered that last night in the basement, the three sisters suddenly found Lude, saying that something went wrong during the construction of the fifth floor of the maze, and Lude rushed over overnight to fix the bug.

I haven't seen anyone yet, so I guess I haven't come back yet.

So after repeatedly confirming that there was no one else in the room, the snake lady tiptoed to a corner of the bookshelf, and deftly opened the hidden compartment inside.

This place was told to Hydera by the elder sister Shanisi before, saying that there are many "treasures" treasured by the master hidden in it, and they are all good things.It was Hume who first discovered this place, later told Shanis, and now Shanis told Hydera, like a kind of honey inheritance!

When opening this secret compartment for the first time, Hydera thought that the so-called treasure was a powerful artifact or something else, but when she took it out nervously, it turned out to be a pile of text books and comic books.

Hydera has seen something similar. When Lude taught her how to read, he used this small drawing board with a combination of graphics and text as a teaching material.But these collected by Lu De are obviously not "preschool books"!

Because of her limited literacy, Hydera still can't understand the full-text novels, but the picture book combined with pictures and texts is no longer difficult for her, but the content of the picture book has greatly shocked and puzzled the snake girl.

"Is the relationship between human beings like this?"

The first time I read these picture albums, the snake lady was mainly ignorant and puzzled. Even though she lived for hundreds of years, but because she is a congenitally mutated monster, when she grows up to adulthood, she is too big to compete with the same kind. mated.

In fact, in the natural world of this world, many female Warcraft lords like Hydera will end up having an affair with a male giant dragon, and that's how those sub-dragons came from.

But near Hydera's territory, the only male giant dragon is Ned Hogg. This guy was raised by humans, so he has family values ​​and ethics that ordinary dragons do not have. When facing a female who is not of the same race, the first reaction is It's "the dragon can't, at least shouldn't", and he and Hydera had conflicts in the early years, so naturally there was no chance to develop a "cross-species" adultery.

End of this chapter

Ever since the labyrinth officially started to "operate", Lude felt that he was getting busier and busier. He had to do more work than the Pope every day, but he didn't have as much power as the Pope. It was inevitable that he began to feel lazy.

To put it simply, Master Lu wants to be lazy!

Relying on the "subway" built by the three sisters, Lude now has the ability to move quickly between the maze and the temple, and the time required for a one-way trip has been shortened from the previous day and night on the ground to less than two hours.

But the subway is actually a mine car that can run on the grooved track by itself, with a speed of about [-] kilometers per hour. Thanks to the straight line of the underground tunnel without any obstacles and without detours, the speed is faster.But the stability of this thing needs to be improved, and the ride experience is not good. Every time after getting out of the car, Lu De's buttocks have to slow down for a while before regaining consciousness.

In addition, this subway tunnel can be said to be dedicated to Lude at present. Since all the goddesses in the family broke through to the second level, they have obtained the corresponding teleportation ability, and can use their own statues as transmission coordinate points. Therefore, Don't need to suffer from Lude's crime.

However, this ultra-convenient movement ability seems to be limited to the gods themselves, and cannot be shared with priests like other conventional magic arts. If you want to bring people to teleport together, you have to wait until you break through the fourth level.

When Lude returned to the temple from the labyrinth, it was almost noon, but maybe it was numbness caused by the mine cart. Lude didn't have the slightest appetite at the moment, so he planned to go to the study first to see if there was any delivery from Yanwood City. letter back.

More than a month ago, the eldest son of the Navarro family, Tlin, was plotted against by the necromancer Dick in the maze and turned into a living dead without a soul. The sad news was finally sent back to Yanmu City, which made the Navarro family furious. .

In order to monitor the reaction of the Navarro family and the Brotherhood of the Black Hand, Hume took the fallen leaves to Yanwood City secretly to spy on the enemy long before the news spread, and would send crows to send letters back every now and then.

The Brotherhood of the Black Hand is "on the surface" the largest underworld group in the south of the Duran Kingdom. The entire organization is very large. There may be more than [-] internal and external members, but the composition of the personnel is also quite complicated.

Among them, the Navarro family belongs to the "gang faction", while the opposite is the "religious faction".Although these two factions belong to the Brotherhood and both believe in the fake god of robbers, but the former is a gang member, while the latter is a member of a cult, and there have always been some ideological contradictions between the two parties.

When the news of Tring's accident came back to Yanmu City, it was like throwing an unextinguished cigarette butt into a gunpowder keg, and just as Lude expected, it ignited the long-standing grievances between the two factions.

However, the struggle between the two parties is currently restrained, and large-scale fighting has not yet broken out. Taylor Navarro, the patriarch of the Navarro family, questioned the elder Tewana of the sect in a very tough manner, because the undead Warlock Dick is her younger brother, so the other party must give himself an explanation.

Interestingly, the two sides have been fighting each other so far, but the mysterious president of the brotherhood has never shown up to mediate. The fake god of robbers seems to be watching his followers fight in the den with cold eyes. Ability to manage.

In any case, Lude's primary task at this stage is still to concentrate on developing himself, and to continue to observe the Brotherhood of the Black Hand secretly, and give just the right fire when necessary to keep them from stopping.

At present, Pine Tree Town is developing very rapidly. In less than half a year since the beginning of spring at the beginning of the year, the resident population has almost doubled, and it is about to break through the [-] mark.In addition to the pioneers who hoped to get land, the new population also had many believers who came here admiringly for the God of Medicine Sect.If the floating population such as adventurers and caravans are included, the total population of the town may already exceed [-].

After all, the town is located at the three-way intersection with the Earl of Lumley, the Duke of Ganmerin, and the dwarve settlement of the Steel Whip clan.

After the opening of the main road, it quickly became the most important transportation hub in the northern border area, and there was an endless stream of caravans coming and going here, some of which even opened local shops, driving the rapid development of local commercial activities.For this reason, Lu De also complied with the demand and set up a special accounting major in his school.

The large influx of people brought about by the prosperity also greatly benefited Lude's missionary activities. The believers who were baptized were no longer limited to the local resident population, and many foreigners were also attracted to the religion.A few even wanted to learn from the saint Lude and become a formal monk.

For these activists who are expected to become devout believers, Lu De can't keep them out, but he can't really accept them, so he set up a so-called "outer disciples" to accommodate them.

Lu De told these outer disciples that the practice of Pantheon emphasizes being in the world, and accumulating one's own "good karma" by helping others.By the way, he asked Romean to show his "Trial Handbook" and the holy seal on the back of his hand, which immediately encouraged these believers.

At present, these outer disciples are all staying in the town, and Lu De has arranged for them to live near the temple. Those who have a certain level of education will start volunteering first, and those who are illiterate will be sent to schools to eliminate illiteracy.Lude has been secretly observing their daily actions and words and deeds to confirm whether there are speculators with ill intentions.

While thinking about things and walking, Lu De walked to the door of his study without knowing it, and then pushed the door directly to enter.As a result, the moment he entered the room, there was a sudden exclamation from the summer vacation on the right.Lu De followed the prestige, and saw the snake girl Hydera standing in front of the bookshelf with her hands behind her back, her whole body was visibly nervous.

"What are you doing?"

"I, I didn't peek!"

"..."

Due to her lack of psychological quality, Snake Lady didn't tell herself on the spot, but Lu De realized that the other party was peeping after a few seconds, and his expression became a little subtle.

"Hume told you?"

"Yes, it's Senior Sister..."

"Hey! Why is this being passed from person to person?"

Whispering a few words in his mouth, Lu De looked calm on the surface, because he knew that the more embarrassing moments like this, the less he could express the embarrassment in his heart, otherwise his majesty as a master would be gone. live.

So Lude stepped forward and reached out to ask Hydera to hand over the book he had hidden behind him.Lu De took it over and took a look. The title on the cover was "The Night of the Lord and the Maids", and the author signed it as "Sans".

The work profoundly exposes the extravagant and depraved nightlife of the feudal aristocrats in this world. At the same time, it vividly shows the bottom-level people, represented by maids, fighting back in the face of oppression. With flames (candles) severely punished the oppressors.

Because among the many works bought back, the painting style of this book is the one that suits Lu De the most, and the plot itself is quite "critical realism", so Lu De read it more than once in private.

It is worth mentioning that the styles of maid outfits worn by the heroines in this album are well received by Lude, a traveler, and this is one of the main points for their high evaluation.The style of this maid outfit is subtly similar to the one worn by Hydera before, which makes Lude feel that he has a tacit understanding with the author, and can't help guessing the identity of the other party.

At this time, Lu De pretended to be serious and asked the snake lady.

"Hydera, let me ask you, how many times have you read these books?"

"Three...no! Four times."

"Then you...you probably didn't tell Aina and Romean?"

"No, I never said that!"

"real!"

"Really! It's absolutely true!"

With a faint cry, Hydera shook her head like a rattle at the moment.Although she is a beginner and doesn't understand many twists and turns of human society, her keen intuition of innate danger as a beast tells her how to avoid disadvantages at such a time!

Seeing that the Snake Lady's face turned pale with fright, Lu De patted her on the shoulder with a "river eel" face, and put the small book back in the lower shelf of the bookshelf, as if nothing had happened.

End of this chapter

In mid-September, Lude's school was still on autumn vacation. Most of the local students were helping with farm work in their own fields at the moment, but there were still some students in the school who did not leave.

Most of these children are foreign students from other places. If they go home to visit relatives during the two months of autumn vacation, more than half of the time will be spent on the road, and there are certain risks, so they simply stay at the school.

There are also some orphans adopted by Lu De from various channels. The school is their only home now, so naturally there is no other place to go.

In order to let these staying students feel cared and warm, Lu De will visit the school every three to five times, chat with these children, play games together, and finally assign some homework so that they will not be too bored.

In the face of Principal Lu's "enthusiastic care", many children silently shed tears of emotion.

As usual, Rudd came to the school with gifts, accompanied only by Shanisi.Because of intentionally leaking the "top secret" of the temple, Shanisi is currently wearing a crime, pushing a trolley full of things and following Lu De.

There are currently 150 students in the school dormitory, [-] of whom just arrived two days ago.They came from a certain marquis in the southern part of the kingdom, and were appointed by their lord to come here to study epidemic prevention medicine.

The average age of this group of students was only thirteen or fourteen, and they were escorted to Pine Tree Town by a cavalry squad of six.There were originally 20 people, but four died of illness and accidents on the way here.The cavalry squad that escorted them set off to return to the south after leaving behind two guardians.

What made Lu De quite speechless was that all of these sixteen small foreign students were purely illiterate and could not read a single word. The Marquis who sent them to study medicine seemed to be unaware of the admission criteria here, thinking that Come over and learn a few herbal recipes or something.

The two guardians who stayed behind even asked Lu De seriously, if they could finish the study in a month?Let them go back before the road is blocked by heavy snow.After receiving the reply that they have graduated from school and started at least three years ago, the expressions of the two of them completely fell into a dull state.

But no matter what, Lude still accepted these children, and then prepared to teach them from the most basic.Under his arrangement, after these freshmen enter the school, senior seniors will provide one-on-one assistance. In addition to providing study guidance, they will also help them quickly adapt to the campus life here.

The senior students selected by Lude were a little emotional at first, and they were not willing to be tutors for these outsiders.However, Lu De later stated that according to the progress speed of their mentors, scholarships will be given and outstanding educational talents will be selected to stay in the school to teach, and the seniors will suddenly become big brothers collectively.

Before Lude and Shanisi reached the dormitory building, they heard the senior seniors teaching the juniors kindly from a distance.

"No energy! The bone setting is not in place at all!"

"Do it again! Are you in a bandaging posture?"

"You still want to study pediatrics in such a low voice!?"

emmm... This f*cking spirit is too much, hey!

Scratching his head in embarrassment, Lu De thought that it would be best to talk to the senior students later so that they would not be too excited.

As soon as Lu De arrived at the door of the dormitory, the first thing that greeted him was the dormitory aunt, who enthusiastically reported to Lu De about his recent work, and happily typed a wave of "small reports" by the way. Kiss me my little mandarin duck.

According to Lu De's request, the school adopts a neutral attitude that neither supports nor opposes the love issue.After all, the locals get married early, and the age of 14 is already recognized as an adult.No matter how much Lude popularizes science with the public, the best childbearing age for both men and women is after the age of 23, it still doesn't help.

Therefore, in the school rules set by Lu De, falling in love is not against the rules, and flirting with little hands is not a taboo, but if you want to have a more intimate move, you have to wait until after graduation to lift the ban.

However, even though there are school regulations, Lu De still frequently popularizes the various hazards of underage early pregnancy, and also warns with religious means, and lists premarital x behaviors as "bad behaviors" that goddesses don't like, but he is still no match for the restlessness of adolescence Hormones, "cross-border" behaviors among students occur frequently.

In desperation, Lu De could only take tougher measures, granting supervisory rights to several dormitory aunts, and allowing them to use force when necessary. With a long-stemmed broom, the young couples who beat them were invincible.

But this time, in addition to reporting her own record, the housekeeper aunt also mentioned another "strange thing" to Lu De, that is, their management staff accidentally discovered a small group of problem children among the remaining students last night.These children stayed up late at night, sneaked out of the dormitory, and went to the kitchen of the school cafeteria to engage in some strange religious activities, and happened to be caught by the security guards watching the night.

As soon as the two sides met each other, a dozen or so children dispersed, and the security guard, who was startled on the spot, was in a hurry and only had time to grab two of them.

At first, the security guard thought that these little boys ran to the kitchen to steal food, and didn't think about what to do with them, but after a closer look at the remaining traces of the "crime scene", they found that the matter might not be simple.

On the ground in front of the kitchen stove, a strange ritual circle was painted with white ash, and the two children who were arrested used the ashes from the stove to draw flame-like patterns on their front doors. .Even if the security guard has little knowledge, he knows that this is a common routine of religious ceremonies, and most of them are cults.

So the two children who were arrested were taken to the guard room overnight for interrogation, and they were asked to confess and be lenient. They also confessed to the other accomplices who had run away, so that they could be punished lightly, but even if they were beaten to death, they would not open their mouths. The person who made it has no temper.

Originally, the dormitory aunt planned to find a time at noon today, and personally went to the temple to report to Lu De, but Lu De came here first.

After hearing the report from the housekeeper aunt, Lu De was also taken aback. He didn't expect that there was an underground church hidden in his school, and he, a senior police officer with eight years of experience in anti-cult and anti-MLM, was unaware of it !

But what makes Lude even more puzzled is that logically speaking, he has the original fire in his body, his eyes can see the beliefs of mortals, and he can judge who the object of belief is based on the color.

So in theory, there really are "heretics" in the school. As long as these believers unconsciously develop a little belief, it is difficult to escape his eyes.

Thinking of this, Lude couldn't help becoming interested in these pagans hidden among the students and the gods they believed in.

"Elbow! Take me to see those two children."
