Chapter 269 260. Returning to my hometown, I walked around the streets and scared the children.
The corns in the fields grew so lushly.
Walking on the ridge of the field, Hades stretched out his hand thoughtfully, and the corn leaves brushed against his arm, making a rustling sound.
The corn seedlings transformed by the sages are obviously taller. These originally low white corns have become taller than a person. They used to be as high as Hades's chest, and now they can also reach Hades's chest. Dis' breasts.
The field was very quiet, there were no people, and the Barbarus people were as sparse as ever. In the distance, a large agricultural trailer was roaring, and further away, at the edge of the line of sight, a sickle shimmered silently.
That was Mortarion's sculpture. It was entirely a spontaneous suggestion by the Barbarus people. When the Death Guards were fighting in foreign lands, the Barbarus people, who were getting richer, launched a crowdfunding campaign and used the funds to build a tall tower. statue.
The tall Mortarion stood in the center of Barbarus' most prosperous city.
Hades and Mortarion, who didn't have any artistic skills, couldn't do this kind of job.
Hades narrowed his eyes and stared at the sculpture.
This is not Mortarion of the Legion. He is not wearing power armor. On the contrary, he is Mortarion of Barbarus. This tall and gaunt scarecrow wears light armor made by Barbarus craftsmen, and a linen hood. It blinded his eyes, making it difficult for people to see the true face of the Lord of Death.
He held the sickle in his hand and pointed at the highest mountain.
It's a good idea. Hades still remembers the dull expression on Mortarion's face when they went down in the Storm Bird just now and said they wanted to investigate.
Hades stood next to Mortarion, pointing to the large sculpture, and he was sure he was holding back his laughter with all his strength.
"Mortarion, this is the symbol of the Barbarus people's love for you!"
The Lord of Death seemed to want to say something, but Mortarion stared at the sculpture for a long time, and finally managed to choke out a few words. ,
"There is no need for it to be useless."
But this did not prevent Mortarion from walking around the large sculpture several times, and then stared at the flowers at the foot of the sculpture and muttered to himself for a long time.
The primarch with a dull look on his face walked under his large sculpture, unaware that more and more Barbarus people were gathering in the square. It seemed that Mortarion would have to solve the trouble he caused by himself later, witty Hades ran away decisively, and nothing would happen to Mortarion with Vox and the Gravekeeper accompanying him.
He didn't want to watch Mortarion's large-scale fan meeting later. He had seen enough when he was on Barbarus.
So Hades ran away decisively after leaving a few words.
Compared to places with many people, deserts with few people are more suitable for Hades, although Barbarus no longer has a wasteland in name. It is either grassland or farmland.
Anyway, when Hades was on Barbarus, he didn't have much contact with the crowd.
After getting rid of Mortarion and his party, Hades got a rare free time. He first went to the original cemetery based on his memory. Due to the change of terrain, it has now turned into a lake, with blue water. Calmly reflecting the clouds in the sky, and looking at Hades calmly.
It's nice. This place is quite quiet.
Hades squatted down and pulled the lake water with his hands. The ripples slowly spread out and soon calmed down again.
Hades looked at himself in the lake. Fighting was a waste of time. Before he knew it, other people's lives had passed by.
Lysa also died, on the Barbarus Circle. As the pioneer of community medical care in the Circle, her body was kept in the largest hospital in the Circle.
He also thought about burying Lysa with her, but little Lysa had her own plans.
Hades thought for a while, and it seemed that what he did was not a human matter. He took away the two children of Lysa's family and went to the battlefield without leaving any one behind. It was equivalent to cutting off the family's roots, and Lysa's care for her in old age was also the same. a question.
Lesa didn't scold him either, and probably she didn't dare to scold him anymore.
She didn't scold him then, and she wouldn't have the chance to scold him now.
Hades fiddled with the water boredly for a while. There was no point in struggling with the dead, so he left.
Although it was nice to not have to listen to Mortarion's speech next to him, Hades had no idea what to do with sneaking out. He just stayed in the legion and worked as a cow and horse. In addition to eating, he also I haven't developed any hobbies.
Hades glanced thoughtfully at the white corn next to him. Although it was not ripe, he could do it
. No, he couldn't eat the crops planted by others. Hades still had to be honest and have moral integrity. Yes, one who knows etiquette.
So Hades continued to stroll around the fields casually. Although he didn't eat, he was still eating.
It would have been nice if the corn could grow this big, Hades thought, so he wouldn't have to worry about what Mortarion would eat every day.
Look at how little Mortarion has in the Legion now. He used to finish off the whole village's food surplus and forced Hades and Karas to go across the village to beg for food for him. Now he still despises Hades for eating. There are so many!
Hades strongly condemned this.
As he walked, Hades smelled the familiar aroma of fried cereals.
Well?
Anyway, it was okay, Hades strolled over, and then said that his pupils were shaking.
Is that another statue?
Damn it? !
The life-size figure carved from black stone is dim, with a shabby and ragged cloak covering his whole body. The figure is sitting on the stone with a bow, holding a tall sickle in both hands, as if watching the fields, or simply sleeping. .
The aroma that Hades was familiar with came from a small bag hanging on the scythe.
Is this him, is this a statue of Hades?
Although it was much simpler than Mortarion's sculpture and was only the size of an adult, it was enough to shock Hades.
Laughing at Mortarion, being Mortarion, thankfully Mortarion isn't around.
Hades was amazed and walked around his statue several times. He didn't understand. Why did he also have a statue?
Hades's initial reputation on Barbarus could be said to be that people hate dogs, but only a few people took pity on him and were willing to chat with him.
Hades touched it with his hands. His sculpture covered his face with a cloak, so there was no carved face. Gee, Hades also wanted to see how handsome they could make Hades.
Hades was a little narcissistic for a while, and then decisively took off the grain bag on the sickle. He was familiar with this. The villagers also sent him rations in this way, but they usually hung them on wooden sticks.
He was not polite, since it was all given to him by Hades anyway, so he signed for the sculpture on his behalf.
Soon the bag of cooked grains was at its bottom. Hades curled his lips and poured out the bag. It was indeed empty.
There was a rustling sound, and Hades turned his head boredly and saw a little boy with a stick and a tiger-like head emerging from the cornfield nearby. He looked about six or seven years old.
The boy saw Hades squatting next to the sculpture like a street kid, holding an empty bag of grain in his hand. He pointed at Hades, and then looked at Hades' sculpture with a shocked look on his face. .
Hum hum, Hades thought, little brat, worship him, Master Hades is here.
Then he saw water in the boy's eyes -
alas, no! why are you crying? !
"Don't, don't, don't cry! Little kid, what's wrong with you?"
Hades swore that he used the gentlest voice and the calmest expression. He didn't dare to stand up. With his size, standing up would not intimidate the opponent. .
"Brother is a Death Guard. If you have anything to say, tell me, and he will help you."
Bah, Hades thought in his heart, you are already a man of several decades, and you still call yourself brother. How shameless.
Maybe Hades was really kind, or maybe the name of the Death Guard frightened the boy. The boy stopped crying and looked at Hades wiping his tears.
"You ate the tribute I gave to the revenant Lord Hades."
The boy spoke hoarsely, and almost sent Hades away with his first words.
Hades thought for a while and continued to speak, while calling the boy over with his hand,
"I am the Death Guard. I know Master Hades. Why did you bring him food? If you have anything to say to him, I can help you tell Master Hades."
"Just think of it as apology for accidentally eating your food."
It turns out that Hades is still good at deceiving people, and the boy slowly walked to Next to Hades, he asked Hades,
"Really, do you know Master Hades?"
"Really, I know Master Hades. I am familiar with him. If I lie to you, I will be a dog. ."
Hades said seriously, while thinking a few words in his mind.
"Okay, I believe you, Lord Death Guard."
The boy said crisply,
"I hope that I can see Lord Hades and tell him that I want to be like Lord Hades, protecting the village and protecting others. ."
"Not only Lord Hades, but others also protected the village, as well as Lord Mortarion."
"That's different!"
The boy suddenly spoke and began to defend the idol,
"Master Hades is. A lone hero! Wandering alone in the wilderness without help from others! And they don’t know! I have drawn a map of Lord Hades’s past path. He is consciously using the smallest range of activities to cover the most villages! "
Thank you for praising me, I'm so nb.
Hades thought silently,
"Okay, I will pass these words to Master Hades. Is there anything else you want to say?"
The boy swallowed,
"Tell Master Hades that I will train hard. Work hard to eat, and work hard to help dad harvest corn. When I reach the age, I will go to the school on the ring to study." "I
want to be a death guard!"
Hades blinked,
"Becoming a death guard, you can't cry all the time. ."
The boy blushed instantly and sniffed,
"I won't cry, I'm a man! It's just that you ate the tribute that I finally made, which made me feel uncomfortable." "It took a lot of effort
to make these, isn't that all? Is it the most common dry food?"
"No, some of the seeds can only be found in the mountains, because they are too unpalatable and bitter, so people have stopped growing them."
This was a bit unexpected by Hades,
" Won't you use other grains instead?"
"How can you! This is disrespectful!"
"The fried dry grains dedicated to Lord Hades have a fixed formula, and I always follow everyone to the mountains early to find seeds."
" Everyone? You're not the only one?"
Hades became more and more surprised,
"Yes." The boy nodded, "Offer food to Master Hades, praying for no disasters this year and a good harvest, and those who eat the tributes will be Bless you, I will have the opportunity to become a Death Guard."
Hades was silent. It turned out that in Barbarus, had he become a kind of land father-in-law?
"That means there is more than one sculpture of Hades?"
"Of course there is more than one! Master Hades protected so many villages back then, how could he just erect one-"
Hades's expression suddenly became serious,
"Kid, I am Hades. You take me to find those sculptures. When we find them, we will split the stolen goods 28/2, you and I." "What?! You are here, what are you talking about?!
"
Hades Gauntlet The device on the screen projected his number and name,
"Can you read? Kid, look carefully, this is HADES, Hades."
The boy stopped talking. He opened his mouth wide and looked at Hades in shock.
"But you...but you just"
"Wow." Hades said.
The boy was so shocked that he almost fainted. He stammered and pointed at Hades, his face flushed, as if he was about to cry again, "Don't worry about
this, I am Hades, take me to find the sculpture, I am almost gone." It's time."
Hades stared at the boy with a sincere face, "I'll take you to play, you help me lead the way."
He stretched out his hand and motioned for the boy to come over. The boy walked over hesitantly, and Hades smiled slyly,
"Are you ready? Don't cry -"
Hades stood up suddenly and picked up the boy.
He patted the boy in his arms and said,
"Let's go, let me show you the way. Your Lord Hades will take you to experience the speed of the wind."
So that day, a big bird appeared in the fields of the nearby village. The laughing wind dog ate all the food bags on the sculpture of Hades.
Mortarion looked at Hades silently and handed him a piece of cake from the banquet.
Hades waved his hand and burped,
"No, I'm full."
Mortarion raised his eyebrows, "Hades, you're not going to eat the villagers' crops, are you?"
"I'm that Mortarion, am I that kind of person?!" "
You are. Judging from your behavior of leaving a word and running away, you are that kind of person."
Mortarion stopped in one sentence . Die Hades' quibble.
