Only Junshu

Chapter 73 The Banquet of the Dwarves

After Junzi finished listening, she handed the oracle crystal ball to Shen Zhongshu. Shen Zhongshu took the crystal ball and poured her spiritual power into it to look at it. After reading it, she raised her eyebrows.

"This thing... really helped us." Shen Zhongshu said.

Junzi nodded, and then asked the old man, "When did you get this oracle?"

The old man thought for a while, and said: "It was obtained by the previous generations, it must have been hundreds of years, I can't remember."

Junxi was stunned, "The oracle from hundreds of years ago? But... it shouldn't be." How could people from hundreds of years ago predict their arrival?Even if it's a god... isn't this a bit too mysterious?

But now I seem to be in a fantasy world, don't I?

Junzi was a little discouraged.Was it really predestined for him to come to this world?

What is this?

Is everything arranged?

What's the point of that?

Even the final result of this battle has been fixed long ago, right?So why do they need to work hard?

Ah, yes, even if it is something that is destined long ago, someone still needs to complete and realize it step by step.

What they are doing now is such a thing.

Junzi sighed, feeling a little upset.This feeling of being/manipulated is really very bad.

Shen Zhongshu patted Junzi's shoulder, just like every time before, with a comforting taste, "Okay, now that we know that they will help us, our chances of winning have increased, and the rest Never mind, we're not gods."

Yes, they are not gods, no matter what gods think, they just need to work hard for their own future in a down-to-earth manner.Do what you need to do right now and do your best, so that when you finally accept the ending, you won't regret or regret it.

Let's go step by step.

After enlightening myself for a while, Jun asked the old man, "Are you really willing to follow us to the mainland to participate in the battle against the demons?"

The old man said: "The dwarves are good at fighting. It's just that they have lived here for so many years to recuperate. The young people in the clan are almost driven crazy. If we have the opportunity this time, we will naturally not refuse."

Junzi said: "But this battle is very dangerous, many people may die, and it may not necessarily win in the end."

The old man said: "The oracle is issued by the gods. No matter how unwilling we are, we can only obey the will of the gods. Even if the whole army is destined to be wiped out in this battle, we will not refuse."

Jun Zi bent over to the old man when he heard the words, "Thank you."

The old man shook his head with a faint smile, took the crystal ball from Shen Zhongshu, held it in both hands, respectfully put it back into the wooden box, and closed the lid.

Seeing the old man knelt down on the futon again, Junzi was deeply touched, so she also stood behind the old man and bowed to the wooden box, thanking the creator god who helped them everywhere for his kindness.

Perhaps, all this is unfair to the dwarves.

Junzi sighed silently, then followed the old man out of the underground space and returned to the ground.

The old man arranged a temporary residence for Jun and Shen, and then asked other people in the clan to go out to collect food, and planned to hold a dinner party in the evening to welcome the distinguished guests predicted by the two gods.

Jun and Shen accepted everyone's kindness and lived in the house that was several sizes smaller.

Junzi looked at the wooden bed that was not as long as her own, and smiled wryly, "It's the first time I feel that I am so tall."

Shen Zhongshu sat cross-legged on the floor, "Be content. I don't know what the dinnerware looks like."

Just thinking about it, Jun Zi thought it was very funny, shook his head, and decided not to think about it anymore.Whatever it is, it's coming, no matter what the situation is, they will have to bear it, and they won't be able to shirk it.

But now that I think about it, this trip was really smooth.

As it was getting late, someone came to the room and knocked on the door, telling them to go out.

The cat walked out of the hut with a stoop, and the dwarf scratched his hair in embarrassment, "Sorry, we only have this kind of house here, and we can't entertain you well."

Junzi smiled kindly, "It's okay, we don't pay attention."

The dwarf led the two of them around the village again, and finally came to a large square with bright lights.

A lot of dwarves have gathered in the square, and everyone is wearing their own family's celebration costumes, looking very easy-going and famous.The two of Jun and Shen were taken to a place close to the old man to sit down. The seat was very ordinary, just a small cushion, but the dwarves thoughtfully made a bigger cushion for Jun and Shen, so that they could Don't let half of your butt fall to the ground.

Even the table in front of the two of them was higher and longer than the others.Junzi said that she was really moved.

The dishes came out quickly, and several good-looking dwarf ladies served dishes to the table. Some of the plates were obviously two times larger than the others, and these plates were placed on Jun Chen as expected. On the table in front of the two.

Jun Zi couldn't tell how he was feeling right now.He felt that the two of them were like giants who broke into the dwarf kingdom, a bit abrupt, a bit out of place, and a bit disruptive to the atmosphere...

Anyway, it's just very uncomfortable, no matter how you think about it, it violates the harmony.

A little embarrassed.

After the banquet started, Shen Zhongshu brought food for Junzi, and comforted him: "Don't think about it, just eat, I seem to have seen someone bring roast goose over just now."

Junzi was taken aback and asked, "How do you know?"

Shen Zhongshu was puzzled: "Know what?"

Junzi said: "Roast goose! How do you know that I want to eat this thing? I don't remember that I told you about it..."

Shen Zhongshu squinted his eyes, "I thought you should love that thing, so I said it casually, what? Did anything happen?"

Junzi was speechless for a while, ignoring Qing Min, who was laughing almost silently in the sea of ​​consciousness, and said: "It's nothing, it's all old things, so don't mention it. But... Where did they get the goose here? Ecology So good? Why didn’t I notice it in the mountains, it’s as quiet as a cemetery.”

"The cemetery may not be so quiet." Shen Zhongshu said, "They raised it themselves. When I was walking around the village before, I saw a breeding farm, but I didn't look carefully."

Junzi nodded, "Okay, it really doesn't make sense for such a big village without a farm. I thought they didn't eat meat and were only vegetarian."

Just as the food was being served, a young lady put the plate containing the roast goose in front of the two of them, and said with a smile, "Why, our dwarf warriors only eat meat, and rarely eat those vegetables."

Junzi smiled back, "Thank you sister for telling me, the fighters in your clan must be very powerful!"

The young lady giggled, "That's right, our dwarves used to be famous for fighting, and every fighter in the clan is very powerful!"

Someone urged from behind, the young lady smiled and waved to them, and left.

Junzi poked a chopstick into the middle of the roast goose, tore a hole in its body, put a piece of meat into his mouth, and chewed contentedly, "My God, if time doesn't allow it, I really want to eat it." Retire in this place!"

Shen Zhongshu said quietly: "You're only in your 20s and you think about retirement, what do you let Rin and the others think?"

Junzi said: "Whatever he thinks, I'm already in my 20s, and I can start raising them."

Shen Zhongshu said: "Then you can continue to think about it."

Junzi looked at him dissatisfied for a while, then decisively took off one leg of the roast goose and brought it to Shen Zhongshu's mouth, "Eat it, shut your mouth, and don't talk to me."

Shen Zhongshu held the goose leg in his mouth, and quickly supported the leg with chopsticks when Junzi let go, eating very gracefully.

Jun Zi didn't bother to pretend to be elegant with him, she didn't bother to hold the chopsticks, and started to use them directly.

Lin tut: "Can you pay attention to the image?"

Junzi said: "No, the roast goose is bigger than the sky!"

Qing Min, who was opened to taste sharing, agreed with Jun Zi's words very much, and did not refute at all.

Lin and Shen finally chose to ignore these two people who were stunned by the roast goose.

The dwarves were very hospitable to the guests. Before Junzi had eaten for a while, a bonfire was lit below, and many dwarves began to dance around the bonfire.Jun Zi doesn't really appreciate these things, but watching those dwarf warriors in battle armor raise their heavy weapons around the bonfire still feels very exciting.

During the performance, many high-level people from the dwarves came up to toast the two of them. Junzi felt that he absolutely could not refuse this time, so he drank the wine in the glass before Shen Zhongshu blocked the wine for himself. Down, frowning.

Don't look at the small glass, the wine is quite strong, he is almost on the verge of tears.

shame.

Junzi resisted to order food, and when she felt almost full, she put the target on the plate full of fruits.

After another few sips of wine were toasted, Junzi half leaned on Shen Zhongshu and said in a low voice: "I'm done this time, you can take me back later."

Shen Zhongshu squinted at him, "You know you still drink?"

Junzi was helpless, "He wants to live and die with us anyway, it's not good if you don't drink, it's disrespectful."

Shen Zhongshu felt helpless when he heard his voice getting lower and lower, but the banquet was not over yet, and it was difficult for the two of them to evacuate, so he could only help Junzi adjust the half-relying position. The posture makes it difficult for people to see too clearly.

Junzi soon fell asleep, and later someone wanted to come over to toast, but Shen Zhongshu politely refused.

After the banquet, the old man saw Shen Zhongshu who was holding Junzi, and said something apologetically.

Shen Zhongshu didn't understand, but he nodded politely to the old man, and then he carried Junzi back to the temporary residence along the way he came.

The bed was too small to fit Junzi, so Shen Zhongshu simply took out a straw mat and spread Junzi on the mat, while he himself used the bed as a stool and sat under his buttocks, cross-legged and began to practice .

Junzi fell asleep soundly, and it was dawn when he woke up.He didn't go crazy, didn't snore in the middle of the journey, and was quiet, which made Shen Zhongshu, who had kept his eyes on the side all night, extremely inconceivable.

Amazing.

Early the next morning, when Jun Zi woke up, she only felt a headache and was very uncomfortable.

Shen Zhongshu came to him with a conscience and gave him a bottle of sober medicine.Shen Zhongshu remembered to prepare this hangover medicine after Junxi got drunk last time. After buying it, he kept it in the ring, waiting for the moment to use it.

And that moment could be now.

Junzi drank the medicine, closed his eyes and rested for a while, and then stood up after feeling that his head was not so dizzy, and stretched his waist to exercise his muscles and bones.

After resting enough, the two went out of the house together, and went to the old man to discuss some things in the future.

For example... How should the dwarves get out of here.

After seeing the old man and several elders of the dwarves, Junzi raised his own questions.

One of the young elders named Liu Nuo said: "It is not difficult for us to leave here. We tried it a long time ago. The enchantment of the ruins has no effect on us. We can go out at any time, but... Can't get in."

"That's it..." Jun Qi asked: "Then...you who tried it, if he didn't come back, where did he go in the end?"

The old man said: "I committed suicide. The bones were automatically washed away by the remains."

Jun Zi suppressed the doubts in her heart when she heard the words.

He wanted to ask them why the dwarf committed suicide.

But from the attitude of these dwarves towards the oracle, he vaguely knew the answer.

It was nothing more than rhetoric that these dwarves could not leave this place before the two of them came here.They respect their beliefs, and even if they accidentally go out, they will definitely choose to commit suicide to keep that promise.

These people are always insisting on something inexplicably, so that he, who came from another world, can't see through it, but he sincerely admires it.

The next thing to discuss is how to arrange these dwarves when they arrive on the mainland.

Lin had already contacted Su Jinxi last night. Su Jinxi happened to be free, but here thousands of dwarves appeared on the mainland at once, and they couldn’t cover it up even if they wanted to. Then there would definitely be an uproar and a lot of trouble. Come.

But there has to be a solution to this.

No matter how many people there are, they will be concentrated in a specific circle in the Mizai Grassland at the end when they go out through the portal. So many people will definitely not be able to watch around.Su Jinxi said that he would tell the Holy Law Emperor Long Min and the Yuluo Emperor Hou Wanjun about this in advance. With the support of the troops of these two empires, Chiguang would not be able to make any troubles.

As for the problem of settling in... it can only be handed over to Yu Luo, who has a relatively strong relationship.

Anyway, many people died during the Yuluo civil war, and many main houses were vacated, which can come in handy now.

With these guarantees from Su Jinxi, Jun and Shen also breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, just stay in this place for a while, wait for these dwarves to pack up their things, and then go on the road together through the barrier to the ruins.
