Old days in the box

Chapter 10 Who lost the thumb?
Is this...a revelation from the gods?

Freya stared blankly at the scene happening in front of her, extremely surprised.

The miracle of the Son of the Past appeared near me again. Could it be that He was really looking at me in particular?

Thinking that she was still changing clothes just now, Freya suddenly felt a little inexplicable shame and subconsciously hugged her arms.

...No, what are you thinking about?

How could such a powerful being care about her, a human being?Maybe the children of the past would look at me like an ant!

Freya quickly adjusted her mood and then took a serious look at the giant paper miracle in front of her.

The text symbols on the giant paper miracle have faded and been replaced by brand new engraved pictures.

The drawing depicts the outline of a certain coast, with a red arrow pointing inland from the coast.

Freya has been fishing here for many years and is already familiar with the nearby terrain. She recognized this as the coast of Haiding Village at a glance.

Is this divine guidance?

Freya didn't dare to neglect and immediately ran out of the cabin to look for her father.

"Father, the son of the past has revealed a new divine guidance, which is on the giant paper just now!"

Freya shouted hurriedly as she ran, causing the fishermen around her to stop what they were doing and look at her in surprise.

The great Sons of the Old Ones have given instructions again, which is a big deal for them.

"Take me to see it!" Old Rand was so excited that he immediately followed Freya back to the wooden house.

All other fishermen also gathered over, but none of them dared to enter Freya's house. They all subconsciously gathered in front of the door to wait for instructions.

Freya's status has unknowingly become inviolable as the Children of the Past have appeared again and again.

When Old Rand walked into his home, he saw that the giant paper miracle that was covered with runes just now had now turned into a carved picture.

He no longer cared about the content of the picture, and immediately knelt down and worshiped: "Praise you, great son of the past!"

"According to the divine guidance on the map, the Son of the Old seems to be guiding us to the interior." Freya said to her father.

Only then did Old Rand get up from the ground and carefully examine the engravings on the giant paper.

"Yes, this is indeed the coast we are on. According to the instructions of this arrow-shaped symbol, the Sons of the Old One want us to climb over the mountains and reach the territory of the Inland Kingdom." Old Rand nodded.

"But we have been living by the sea for generations, why do the children of the past want us to go inland?" Freya was a little confused.

"God sees everything and knows everything. Since he has given us instructions, there must be His deep meaning. We only need to follow God's guidance and we will make no mistakes."

With a serious look on his face, Old Rand immediately took Freya out of the wooden house and announced the matter to a group of fishermen.

At this time, Zhou Xiao was also watching all this from outside the screen, very satisfied.

As expected, after the information is simplified, it is easy for little people to understand.

At this time, Old Rand said loudly to the fishermen: "The Son of the Old One has sent down a new divine guide, instructing us to cross the mountains and head inland. We need to set off as soon as possible to complete His instructions."

The fishermen all lowered their heads and listened, and no one felt any resistance or objection.

The miracles of the Children of the Old are deeply rooted here, protecting their lives. There is no doubt that the gods' instructions must be fulfilled.

As soon as Old Rand finished speaking, Freya took the lead and stood up: "Father, let me go."

Although Haiding Village is remote and desolate, traders from the interior still come over the mountains regularly to exchange supplies with them.

Freya has been there a few times, so she feels she has some experience.

But as soon as she finished speaking, there were objections both off-screen and on-screen.

"No." Zhou Xiao.

"No!" said the fisherman from Haiding Village.

For Zhou Xiao, Freya plays an important leadership role among this group of villains.

It would be uneconomical to take such an important person out to explore the field, if something happens and there is any damage.

It's just like playing a game, each unit should be assigned to the appropriate position.

As for the village of Haiding, the opposition was even louder.

"Freya is under the watchful eye of the Son of the Past. She is an important bridge between that being and us. She must not be allowed to go to such a dangerous place!"

The fishermen were very convincing, but they all disagreed with Freya's proposal.

"What they said makes sense. If you go far inland and are unable to inform us of God's instructions in time, that would not be good." Old Rand had the same idea.

Freya didn't expect everyone's reaction to be so intense, and she couldn't say anything else.Old Rand then turned to the crowd and continued to ask: "Who is willing to fulfill this divine invitation?"

"I'm going! I'm going!"

The response from the fishermen was overwhelming, and everyone wanted to take this opportunity to show their loyalty to the Children of the Old Ones.

"Geece, Mance, you guys have good legs and feet, I'll leave it to you." Old Rand did not hesitate, and immediately designated two young men in the crowd.

The Divine Guide of the Son of the Old One points to the other side of the mountain. This is not a short distance, and it is a place that almost no one in Haiding Village has ever set foot on.

Geese and Mance are young and powerful fishermen in the village, and they are also smart, so they are the most suitable.

"I chose these two young people, right? It's okay." Outside the screen, Zhou Xiao also clicked on the two fishermen and took a look.

According to the biographies, these two people are brothers and have been sea dwellers here for several generations. There is nothing worth seeing.

It should be said that in a small village like Haiding Village, there are only those people coming and going, and they don't have any special background.

At this time, the selected Gith and Mance were taken home by Old Rand to observe the divine pictures descended by the Son of the Old One.

The other fishermen who didn't choose had no choice but to disperse, looking at the brothers with envy.

They were actually able to enter Freya's home and see with their own eyes the divine message from the Son of the Old One!
This is great luck for them.

After some discussion, Freya and his daughter decided to let the two of them set off early tomorrow morning.

Although the divine guide sent down by the Son of the Past did not indicate a clear location, since it was the will of the gods, it would be fine as long as you walked in that direction.

After everything was settled, Haiding Village returned to peace.

After a day of twists and turns, the sky is getting darker and the fishermen are getting ready to take a rest.

As the screen dimmed, the village of Haiding gradually became still, with almost no sign of activity.

Zhou Xiao stretched out in front of the computer and felt satisfied.

This is the first time he has been able to take a shower and rest so early.

Counting the time, even if he still got up after six o'clock as usual, he would still be able to sleep for at least seven or eight hours.

This was the ultimate sleeping experience before!
So Zhou Xiao stood up from the computer desk and went to rest early.

At the same time, the world outside the window.

On the other side of the mountain, in the territory of the Inland Kingdom.

The sound of metal colliding was sonorous and powerful. In the sanctuary, a group of heavily armored soldiers escorted the two people into the courtyard.

One of the people being escorted was the commander-in-chief of the Kingdom Corps.

The other one was Fatty, the soldier commander who was beaten away from Haiding Village.

This man came back from the coastal wasteland of the kingdom today. Not only did he lose all his soldiers inexplicably, but he also kept talking crazy, claiming to have seen the evil god of doom and unspeakable monsters.

In order to clarify this matter, it is also a trial for his fault.

The kingdom's war priest decided to personally intervene in this strange incident.

In the War Sanctuary, the furnaces for forging weapons were working day and night, and the fire was soaring into the sky.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood that could not be dissipated for a long time.

This place holds the highest divine power and secrets of the kingdom, and even the commander-in-chief feels shuddering.

Across the courtyard, they were led by heavy-armed soldiers to an altar.

Various heads, weapons, metals, and torches formed a circle, while the priest sat high on top.

"Master Priest, he is the soldier commander, but let me explain to you, this man has gone crazy, and what he says may not be credible."

The commander-in-chief bowed his head to the priest and said loudly at the same time.

"Your Excellency, the God of War, I don't need to listen to his excuse." The priest who was sitting high said coldly, and then looked at the already dazed soldier Fatty: "Left hand, thumb."

The insane soldier was stunned for a moment, but the commander-in-chief had already drawn his sword and grabbed his left palm.

When the knife fell from his hand, his thumb was cut off by the sharp blade and presented to the priest.

The priest lit the fire on the altar, put the soldier's thumb into a stone bowl, mashed it together with other disgusting liquids, and drank it all.
