Chapter 648 The Order of St. Stanislav

Lu Yao was sitting on a chair, drinking orange juice with ice cubes in the glass.

Hallo was standing on the stool, leaning over the stewed pork ribs and daikon radish on the plate on the table. It gnawed off a piece of bone, swallowed a piece of white radish, and then licked two mouthfuls of soup with its tongue. It was a balanced diet.

After eating two large bowls, Cerberus wiped his mouth on the wet paper towel next to him, nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for the treat, I really appreciate it."

 Then, Xiao Huo put the plate and bones on his head and started to wash dishes and clean up in the kitchen.

“Bingya potatoes are a specialty over there.”

Harrow continued: "This was given to us by the [Night Watch] as a thank you for our help to the local area."

 Lu Yao looked at the potatoes in his hand.

This green potato feels slightly cool to the touch, and its surface exudes a poisonous sheen.

 …

　　【Bingya Potato】: A species that can only grow in cold areas. During the growth stage, it exists in the form of an ice tooth potato, which tastes soft, waxy and mellow, and can replenish a small amount of mana; during the mature stage, it will transform into a self-exploding potato, which will self-destruct when it feels squeezed and pulled by external forces.

  【11/100】

 …

"Icy Fang Potato comes from the virtual universe. It will mutate and rot quickly in the real universe. It will mutate when the progress bar reaches zero. It can still be stored for 11 days. Like other species in the virtual universe, it will enter the high dimension from the lower dimension. Wei can only maintain normalcy for 15 days. I also ran all the way to bring it to you."

Cerberus licked his nose: "It is recommended to put it into a prop immediately, or put it directly into the Void Universe Divine Kingdom."

So Lu Yao put three potatoes into the toolbar.

Harrow relaxed and happily talked about his trip.

“The Black Tea Party sent four members to Siberia this time to deal with an emergency there. Charon and I were among them..."

On the Putolanna Plateau in Siberia, the local official organization that governs the gods [Night Watch] is trying to improve the species. Several special species had unexpected mutations and caused injuries to civilians after escaping. These specific projects involved the principle of confidentiality, and Harrow skipped a sentence.

The local project Black Tea Club is one of the assisting organizations.

In order to find these mutated and escaped disaster creatures as soon as possible, the Black Tea Party also responded to the [Night Watch] request to urgently mobilize relevant people with the ability to detect, pursue, and identify traces. Therefore, Harrow and Charon were called over.

They arrived at their destination in batches and spent a lot of time and energy cooperating with the [Night Watch]. Finally, they settled the matter without further expanding the negative impact.

To show his gratitude, the night watchman took out the local specialty "Bingya Potato" and gave it to the facilitators of the black tea party.

 “We were entertained there for a day before we left.”

 “But before I left, I went to the [Night Watchman] to get this thing.”

Harrow raised his neck proudly: "The Order of St. Stanislav."

 Lu Yao then noticed that it turned out that the three-headed **** dog was not wearing a dog tag on its chest.

This is a copper Red Cross medal. The leaf-shaped cross has a small ball-shaped decoration on the edge. There is a circle of unknown golden text on the outside. There is a double-headed eagle pattern inside the circular emblem. It is simple but very high-quality.

"This is the [Night Watch], which was the predecessor [Knight of the Empire] at that time. It was awarded to me in 1841 to thank me for helping them catch a group of crazy undead disaster creatures. These guys killed a lot of people. People have caused a mutiny in the army, and if it cannot be controlled in time, the consequences will be disastrous."

Harrow raised his head slightly and said with pride and restraint: "There are very few St. Stanislav Medals awarded to foreigners, but mine is a specially made one after being processed by [Knight of the Order of the Empire]. There is a special inscription under the Latin circle inside. Structures and runes, this is not only a symbol of honor, but also comes with practical abilities..."

 It suddenly asked: "Lu Yao, how are you doing here during this time?"

"good."

Lu Yao drank juice.

“I think so, it shouldn’t be difficult for you if anything happens.”

 Lu Yao said: "Keep going."

"I received this medal back then, but never went to receive it. At that time, the Tsar launched the Holy Alliance, and the situation became complicated and turbulent, and divine organizations from other countries also began to appear there... so I left immediately There, avoid getting into unnecessary trouble.”

“I didn’t think about it until this time. I didn’t expect that from [Emperor Knight] to [Night Watch], I still keep the medal they gave me, and the Slavic gods still value the medal so much.”

Harrow raised his neck and said, "Lu Yao, come and touch the medal."

Lu Yao reached out and when he touched the medal, a line of description appeared in front of his eyes.

 …

 [Order of St. Stanislav (Second Class)]: A special prop that represents the recognition and gratitude of the Slavic gods—this is to thank Mr. Harrow for his brave and upright behavior. I wish you good physical and mental health and long-lasting friendship with the Slavic gods.

  【Holy grant (0/2)】

 The holder can open a directional teleportation channel and enter the [Sacred Oak], which can accommodate up to 2 people.

 …

Lu Yao was a little surprised.

 It turns out that this medal also has the function of opening a passage.

 He asked curiously: "Where is the sacred oak tree?"

“It is the anchorage of Slavic mythology, similar to Kunlun, Penglai, and Tianting in your Chinese mythology. It’s just that they only have this large anchorage, which is not as good as yours in scale and quantity.”

 Lu Yao suddenly realized.

　　It turns out that a small world like Kunlun is called a mythical anchorage.

 “Lu Yao, would you like to go and have a look?” Haro suggested.

 “What’s there to see?”

Lu Yao prefers to stay at home in a comfortable place. It’s hot and tired outside, so it’s not as comfortable as eating, drinking and sleeping in at home.

 “Go and have a look.”

Harrow tried his best to persuade: "Although the sacred oak tree is getting weaker and weaker, it is still a mythical anchorage with a long history. I heard from the [Night Watcher] that there are still good unique items for sale locally. You can go and pick them out. There is something you can use."

 Selling goods?

This is Lu Yao's first encounter with Slavic Mythology, and he has never encountered a player from this camp before.

Lu Yao suddenly became excited: "Then go and have a look."

To be on the safe side, they still chose to enter from the virtual universe.

Harrow turned into a Dalmatian in the pixel world, with a shining medal hanging around his neck. It barked twice, and a blue oval channel lit up next to it.

Lu Yao walked into it with Harrow in the body of Huang Jia, the agent.

 …

Lu Yao looked around.

 He stood on a huge branch like a ridge. The branches spread in all directions, forming winding paths. Dense leaves shaped like long fish bones were spread all around. Under the breeze, Lu Yao could smell the smell of forest and earth.

In the sky is an endless spiral of tree trunks.

  There are also layers of intertwined branches going down.

As the name suggests, this place is a towering oak tree that is difficult to see clearly.

Harrow next to him was also looking around curiously.

 “You haven’t been here either?”

 “No, it’s my first time here too.”

Just as one person and one dog were thinking about which direction to go, an acorn fell from the leaves.

It floated in front of Lu Yao and made a sound.

“Two distinguished guests holding medals, welcome to the sacred oak tree. I hope you enjoy it here.”

“I am the Acorn Elf, please let me be your guide. Where do you want to go? Here are [The Zenith Crown Monument], [Earth Death Cave], [Spinning Wheel of Destiny], [Glory Field]..."

 The elf's voice was clear and sweet, like that of a half-grown child.

 Hello looked at Lu Yao.

Lu Yao thought for a while: "Where is the place selling things?"

“Then it has to be [Spinning Wheel of Destiny]. Two guests, please come with me.”

The acorn spirit flies ahead to lead the way.

On the way following the guide, Lu Yao discovered that miracles could not be used here.

The elf explained: "Fighting is prohibited in the sacred oak tree. In the past, conflicts between gods often caused great damage here. Many years ago, the Lord God banned fighting and only allowed negotiation and transactions here. If there is a duel, We have to go to the [Glory Battlefield].”

 Lu Yao nodded.

This is probably a relatively sound mythological anchorage with normal rules. After all, it is to gather the power of the gods. The situation like Kunlun being invaded by the old gods is not included in this list.

 It didn’t take long.

“Two guests, this is the [Spinning Wheel of Destiny].” The elf stopped.

 Lu Yao looked forward.

It is a majestic and tall Ferris wheel with a complex rotating assembly and lever arm structure at the bottom. It is entirely made of dark brown wood, and the slowly rotating body is still spinning threads, but these threads come from the air, and its appearance and structure are very similar to ancient silk looms.

Lu Yao stared at the spinning wheel, and the panel description appeared in front of his eyes.

 …

  【Spinning Wheel of Destiny】: A mythical wonder. The magical device created by Mother Earth Mokosh has the power to change destiny.

 Health: 2779613/3650000

  【Myth】

  【LINE OF LIFE】

 Using the threads of life as raw materials.

　　【THread of Destiny】

 The thread of destiny is spun from the thread of life.

  【Textile Destiny】

 The thread of destiny is spun into cloth. If the thread breaks, the thread owner will die immediately, while completing the cloth can change the thread owner's existing destiny and turn it into another random trajectory.

  【Sacred Oak】

 Part of the sacred oak tree.

 …

Lu Yao carefully asked the elves and then confirmed the efficacy of the spinning wheel of destiny.

This wonder can touch the mysterious realm of fate, but it is more like a blender, stirring the existing fate into another river, which is a random change of fate. The premise is that you have to bet whether you will die during the weaving process.

 Under normal circumstances, gods will not try until they are in desperate situations. None of this mentioned the probability of textile success, and even if the change of destiny is completed, the new result may not necessarily be better, but may also be worse.

Lu Yao’s evaluation is that the practical value is not high, but under certain circumstances it is an idea that can gain a chance of survival.

Especially for ordinary beings, turning around when they are about to die may change their fate.

 It’s just that to use this wonder, you must obtain the consent of [Mother Earth] Mokosh, otherwise it will not be able to rotate.

 Surrounding the spinning wheel of destiny are various stalls. Next to the tall mythical spectacle, the stalls add a touch of secular life.

Lu Yao walked towards the first nearest stall.

It was a young girl with long hair disheveled and wearing a crown of leaves. She was wearing loose white clothes, and her dark blue eyes showed a kind of numb sadness, like a melancholy girl coming out of a Western painting.

The young girl held a bunch of broad reeds in her hand and looked at the corner of her skirt without saying a word.

Lu Yao thought to himself that she seemed to be selling the reeds in her hands.

 It's just that people here can't see each other's data panels, which is probably also a restriction of the sacred oak.

 The elf's voice came into Lu Yao's mind.

“Guest, the Sacred Oak prohibits mutual inspection, so we cannot peek into each other’s secrets.”

"This is the [ominous water nymph], one of the Slavic gods. She was originally the **** of Shiva, the sailor [god of love and marriage]. After Lord Shiva died, the water nymph was looking for someone willing to take his place. He is the **** who pays debts.”

“He is willing to be the **** who pays debts, or if he has other requests—as long as they are serious requests, they can be discussed in detail.”

 Lu Yao was shocked.

Selling oneself to pay off debts, is there such a godly player?
