Chapter 24 Those damn robbers dare to steal my pig?!
The villagers discovered that the fat, white pig they had been raising had been forcibly fed not only gold coins but also other kinds of currency.
The villagers watched helplessly as Terra stuffed all sorts of blocks, furniture, acorns, and even a burning campfire into the pig's mouth.
Terra raised the manuscript, aimed it at the pig, and began to dig.
From now on, my backpack won't fill up so easily when I go out. If it's too full, I'll just put it in the pig's space.
Spiderweb-like cracks gradually appeared on the large white pig's body, and finally, with a "poof," it turned into a collectible item. It was sucked into Terra's body.
Terra brazenly stole the pig in front of all the villagers.
They even preyed on the piglets drinking milk nearby.
The big white pig suddenly felt its body lose strength and everything went black.
When it opened its eyes again, it was locked in a narrow cage, with several trembling piglets huddled around it.
The two sides of the frame were endless darkness. The pig grunted uneasily, scurried to the edge and looked out. It could see countless parallel frames extending up, down and left and right, some piled with clutter and some empty.
"Hmph! (Let me out!)"
*
The villagers were stunned for a moment, then erupted in a roar: "Those damn bandits disguised as adventurers stole our pigs!"
The villagers realized that the village chief had been deceived by these two guys.
The village chief's wife was also in the crowd. She was trembling with anger, pointing at Terra and yelling, "I knew you weren't a good person! How could a good person look like you, so boxy? We can't handle those robbers, but we can handle you! Villagers, grab your weapons!"
Terra looked at the menacing villagers with a question mark above her head and asked the village chief, "Are these NPCs the robbers you were talking about?"
A voice shouted from the crowd: "You robber, trying to turn the tables?! Your days of running rampant are over! Give the pig back!"
Terra, however, remained calm. Hearing the NPC's words, she actually found it amusing, thinking, "Oh wow, there are Easter eggs in the NPCs' lines in the new version?"
He enthusiastically pulled a wooden chair from his backpack, placed it on the ground with his back to the villagers, right-clicked on the chair to sit down, and said, "If you want it, then come and take it yourself."
"Villagers, follow me and charge!"
Just then, a familiar figure emerged from behind the crowd, carrying an iron rake.
"Hey, why does this person look so familiar?" a villager muttered.
A sharp-eyed villager in the crowd immediately exclaimed, "Isn't that the soldier who just died? How did he come back to life?"
The villagers retreated in terror, shouting, "The soldiers have come back to life!"
The soldier turned around and looked bewildered after hearing the discussion.
"What? You've been resurrected? I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"
But as he spoke, the soldier himself seemed to begin to doubt the memories in his mind.
Then, finally realizing something, he looked at the blocky figure before him. Suddenly, he knelt on one knee, bowed to Terra, and said, "Thank you for saving my life, messenger of the church!"
The Papacy's messengers? The village chief recalled hearing from merchants that the cardinals of the Papacy could use strange spells to resurrect people like the waxing and waning of the moon.
Right.
The village chief, recalling his previous disrespect towards Terra, even sitting on his head, immediately knelt down with a thud, trembling as he pleaded, "I beg the Holy See's envoys for forgiveness! I was blind and ignorant, never expecting you, such important figures from the Holy See, to be so blatantly disrespectful! Please forgive me!"
The village chief was highly respected in the village, and when the other villagers heard him utter the word "papal state," they all knelt down.
Mana was just as shocked as the villagers. The villagers didn't understand magic and simply attributed the incomprehensible to it, assuming that resurrection was something similar. However, this was the first time they had witnessed magic that could bring the dead back to life, hence their astonishment.
But for someone like her who actually knew magic, the idea of resurrection was even more unbelievable; she hadn't seen Terra use any magic circles or spells.
Who exactly is this Miss Andrea 2?
The soldier asked cautiously, "But I wonder why the gods have sent you on this journey?"
The village chief seemed to suddenly remember something, and abruptly pointed to a young man in the crowd: "That's him! He's hiding the picture book that humiliates the Holy Maiden! Arrest him immediately! We're all innocent; we haven't seen anything like that!"
Terra thought to herself, "What? The new version has something this good to watch?"
The surrounding villagers immediately scattered, avoiding the man who had been identified as a plague god.
"Hey! You guys!" The man glared at the villagers around him, the ones he had borrowed picture books from.
When he saw Terra approaching, he turned to run away, but was surrounded by the villagers.
Terra quickly walked up to the man, opened the creature encyclopedia and glanced at it, then looked him up and down, thinking that this female-fication texture pack was very detailed. Even this kind of NPC, which is not very useful, has been given a new model, and it even looks pretty good.
The young man looked up and met Terra's empty eyes on her square face.
"Your name is Rice, right?"
Rice lowered her head in fright, shouting repeatedly, "I'm innocent! I really didn't keep the Saintess's picture book!"
"Really? I don't believe it."
"I really didn't! My lord, I, well, I admit I kept them, but those picture books only depicted village girls and heroes or elves and goblins! I never had any improper thoughts about the saintess."
The elf... Mana1 looked at the Terra doll's back and thought, "This is it, I'm doomed."
Terra clearly saw in the encyclopedia that this NPC dropped a painting book. She'd kill him and see what the new painting looked like; after all, there was a 12.5% drop rate.
No, no matter the drop rate, Terra absolutely must see what the painting looks like.
He was curious.
The villagers watched in horror as Terra surrounded the man with blocks, then picked up a block and repeatedly smashed it down until there was a loud crack and then silence.
The next moment, a painting half the size of a person exploded out with a bang. Terra sucked it into her inventory and glanced at the painting's name:
[God, the saint is pregnant! Who did it?] *1
Terra casually used blocks to build a smooth wall on the open ground and then unfolded and pasted the giant painting onto it.
The saint in the painting is depicted with her originally pristine robes tattered and disheveled, hanging half-covering her shoulders and revealing large expanses of skin. Her face is flushed, her eyes unfocused as she gazes out of the painting, a smile playing on her lips. The background is not a church or altar, but a private room decorated with suggestive veils, its overall tone dark and full of allusions. Above the saint's head is a messenger with a halo behind him, and below her skirt are commoners reaching out their hands.
Terra tilted his blocky head, examined it for a moment, and then a disappointed bubble appeared on his head.
I thought it was something like a paradise, but it's just like this~
It's not as good as the tree spirit one in the old version.
But then again, how could such a thing possibly exist?
Then, he deftly removed the scroll and released the large white pig that had been stuffed with various items.
The giant white pig, now free of the elements, tried to run away but found itself unable to move. Terra right-clicked on the pig's inventory and, under the villagers' stunned and terrified gazes, stuffed the enormous, filthy scroll depicting a saint into the pig's mouth. Then, she raised her pickaxe again, dug the pig out, and sucked it into her body.
At this moment, the man who had been killed respawned.
The villagers breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Rice 1 was not really dead.
The papal emissaries weren't actually that heartless, were they? The adults were still kind-hearted. They killed them as a severe punishment, and their resurrection was due to the adults' compassion.
