  Chapter 599 Raising a Capricorn

   There is a proverb circulating in the Principality of Capricornus.

  —If you want to become a master, you have to serve Capricorn well.

  When he was young, Jie Jie saw for himself that there was a familiar man who raised Capricorns very well, so he was promoted to be a Capricorn official by an iron knight master.

   Capricorn officials are a kind of low-level officials in the Principality. Each Capricorn official has to manage hundreds of people who raise Capricorns and dozens of mountains.

   In front of the Capricorn raiser, the Capricorn official is the master.

  They can throw the whip on the Capricorn and decide how to distribute food and various supplies.

  The only [Iron Warrior] who can protect everyone only listens to Capricorn officers—they will be stationed in every pastoral area, with numbers ranging from ten to twenty.

  If you offend the Capricorn officer, you will not only lack food and drink, but you may also be driven out of the pastoral area. When you encounter a rolling snake, you may not be rescued by the iron warrior in time.

  Everyone is afraid of the Capricorn officer.

  But everyone also wants to be a Capricorn officer.

  Jie Jie doesn't care.

  Because the acquaintance who was promoted to Capricorn officer was his father.

   Out of curiosity, Jie Jie asked his father.

   "Dad, how did you raise Capricorn so well?"

   "Want to know?"

  The father reminded: "You are my son, can't you see that my method is no different from other people's?"

  Jie Jie thinks about it too.

  He couldn't figure it out even more.

   "It's a relationship, I rely on the relationship."

There was a faint smile on his father's face: "If you have time to take care of Capricorn, why not spend more time building relationships, giving gifts, getting to know Iron Warriors and Iron Knights, I gave away almost all my wealth. You know your mother is Why run?"

   "Didn't Mom run away with another rich master?"

   "That's appearance."

  Father took a sip of bobo tea calmly: "The real reason is that I took all the things in the house and ran away. Your mother thought it would be impossible, and said I was crazy, so she ran away."

  Jie Jie just said: "Oh."

  In pastoral areas, it is normal for men and women to run away.

  There is nothing else in the Principality of Capricornus, only pastures everywhere, except for the inferior people who raise Capricorns outside the city, they are the gentlemen living in the city.

  It’s just that the risk of running away is very high, and they will be recognized immediately. If there is no place willing to take in and guarantee them, they will usually be dispatched to a worse world.

   Only by becoming a master can you enter the city from the pastoral area, leave this smelly and muddy place, and even live in a better world.

  Father is still a little bit short.

   As long as you are promoted from Capricorn Officer to Quartermaster Officer, you can move to the city.

   Even so, the Capricorn officer in the pastoral area is a very useful gentleman.

  Jiejie is also unavoidable, so he has to raise Capricorn.

  Normally, he wouldn't have to. Just like the Capricorn official boy in the pastoral area next door, he walks around with his dog every day, eats and sleeps, sleeps and eats, and grows white and fat.

  Father told him: "You can't be like that, and don't be like me. To learn basic crafts and live in this world, you must learn to get along with Capricorn."

   "After becoming a Capricorn officer, I realized that as long as we come from the pastoral area, in the eyes of those old men, we are always inferior."

   "Even if you become a quartermaster, you are still a low-level quartermaster. The big shots in the principality are all transferred from other worlds. There is only one thing that will be recognized here, and that is Capricorn."

"The Capricorn in this world can give birth to the Capricorn King. The Capricorn King can travel anywhere without restriction. Even in the most noble world of [Wilso], he will be treated like a big man. It will choose Once you choose your own companion, you will never abandon it for the rest of your life, nor will you give up."

  Drinking Bobo tea, my father said in an ordinary tone: "Compared to people, Capricorns are more reliable. Trust them more, and don't trust people too much."

   "Our surname is Jie, only Capricorn and us are our own people."

   Going around, it seems to be back to that old saying.

  …

  Jie Jie doesn't hate Capricorn.

  Capricorn is a direct-tempered monster, they look like big sheep, with long horns, and a sheep-like head. It's just that their mouths are full of sharp teeth, like pieces of blades, and they look very ferocious even when they smile.

  Although they look fierce, Capricorn is a vegetarian.

  It grows from plants, first as seeds, and it takes many years to grow a Capricorn from a small tree. The small tree will quickly dry up, and then Capricorn will start to walk around on the ground.

   Capricorn eats bobo grass and capers.

  Bobo grass can be found all over the world, but capers need to be imported from other worlds.

   This sour and extremely watery thing needs fertile soil. Most of the Principality's land occupied by Bobo grass cannot meet the conditions. Even if there are a few places where it can be planted, the amount is not enough.

   Capricorns are much larger than sheep in size, but there is another difference in that they can fly.

  As long as you think about it, Capricorn will swell and bulge, become spherical, fly and float in the air.

  As for why Capricornus flies into the sky, no one can explain clearly.

  They neither catch birds nor live in the sky. Capricorns prefer to lie on the grass, even when they sleep, they can chew with their mouths open. Flying into the sky seems more like a pastime.

  And this kind of willful activity is also the most troublesome and dangerous time for a Capricorn.

  Because Capricorn takes off, the person who raises Capricorn has to follow. They lay on its bulging body, grabbed the curly hair on Capricorn's body, and waited in fear for the landing.

  Must be kept by the side at all times, because Capricorn may drift far away in the air when encountering windy days or abnormal weather. And the man who raises Jie has to land with him, and then use the bobo grass to bring it back to the pastoral area all the way.

"Capricorns are actually very simple, eat and drink well, brush their hair, pat and massage them, and they will think you are good. If you take good care of them, the devilish energy produced by Capricorns will be more and better. If you can get good , you will be commended, awarded, and may even be directly promoted to Capricorn officer."

  Father imparted the age-old lesson of oral tradition.

  The Capricornus that Jie Jie takes care of is called 【Dabai】, it flies like a huge white bubble.

  Dabai has a withdrawn personality and doesn’t get in touch with others of his kind. Even if he flies in the air, he will fly higher and higher all the way, as if flying with some kind of pride and stubbornness, trying to fly out of this world.

  Dabai wants to cross the sky.

  Unfortunately, it is not a Capricorn King who can come and go.

  Dabai became more and more silent, and even showed severe anorexia symptoms. Jie Jie had no choice but to tell the funny things he saw in his ear.

  Today, who forgot to bring straw paper when he pooped, who burned the fire with feces and got fainted, who forgot to close the door and the house was stolen by rolling snakes...

  Dabai was still lying on the ground, with no interest in his eyes.

  Jiejie finally discovered that it responded to the sound of beating stones.

  So he combined various stones on a box, tied it with ropes, and beat it with the horns that Capricornus shed.

  Jie Jie was beating this primitive instrument, and the sounds of various stones weaved a simple melody, making Dabai slowly become active.

  Strike while the iron is hot, Jie Jie kept beating the stone qin, and the melody became smoother and smoother.

  Under the power of the sound, the cannon regained its vigor and spirit, and it even became gregarious. The nearby Capricorns will also come over and shake their heads listening to Jie Jie playing the Shiqin.

  The few people who raise pigs are very happy.

   "This thing is amazing, Capricorn has become very excited, maybe you can get a good one when you check the magic energy at the end of the year!"

   "That fat Capricorn in my family is willing to get up and run, although he has been panting... Oh my god, the son of the Capricorn officer really has a way!"

   "That's great, that's great, what's that thing called?"

   "I didn't expect Capricorn to like knocking on rocks so much. Why hasn't anyone mentioned it in the past?"

  …

  Jie Jie said as soon as he was happy about the questions that the people raising Jie Jie talked about.

   But soon he heard gossip behind his back.

   "That's not the case at all. I've been knocking on stones for several days to no avail. The son of the Capricorn officer lied to us and didn't tell the truth at all."

   "Yes, it's useless. I must have saved a hand."

   "Masters just like to lie, I'm so stupid, I thought he really taught."

   "If we learn it, we will become masters. They will definitely not do anything. This is how gentlemen are, and they will not tell us these secrets."

  …

  Jie Jie felt very disappointed.

   What is disappointing is not only that everyone thinks he is a liar, but also does not think it is his idea at all, and thinks it is the method taught by his father.

  Jie Jie had a little understanding of what his father said.

   It is true that you have to start from Capricorn.

  According to the legend of the principality, Capricorn kings are all possessed of huge demon energy, and evolved from Capricorn. As long as Capricorn itself is strong enough and has the power to mutate, it is possible to become the king of this family.

  If everyone has a Capricorn King, maybe everyone will live better.

  Jie Jie began to focus on tinkering with Shiqin.

  Although other people can't understand and can't play, he knows that this is the key to making Capricorns from lazy to full of energy.

  The key point is to perfect this instrument and find the best melody, so that Dabai can grow rapidly and move towards the direction of Capricorn King.

  At the end of the year, as long as the quartermaster comes to check the quality of magic energy, everyone will understand by then!

  Jie Jie keeps improving Shiqin.

  He named this instrument [Jiajiao xylophone box], the key is to use different stones to knock out various timbres, and he has completed two melodies—"Happy" and "Flying".

  As the end of the year draws closer, Jie Jie is also increasingly nervous and looking forward to it.

  However, instead of waiting for the inspection day, we waited for the end of the day.

  On an ordinary day, those beams of light that brought death and destruction tore through the sky and landed on the earth.

   A werewolf exuding a terrifying aura came out of the light.

  They draw bows and shoot arrows, shooting a person down in a pool of blood, and then they wave the mace in their hands, knocking off people's hands and feet, so that everyone cannot escape and resist.

  The werewolves tied a person with a rope, tied them in a pile like dragging animals, and became their slaves and property.

   Those who resist and escape will be brutally killed by werewolves.

  The werewolves began to set fire to houses, capture and gather Capricorns, and skillfully plunder all useful property.

  Blood and flames were everywhere, and wailing and screaming were endless.

  Jie Jie in the distance was trembling with fright, Dabai flew up to the sky with him on his back, and hid in the cold and damp clouds.

   Much later.

   Landed on the ground again, Jie Jie saw that the ground had been burnt to the point where not a single blade of grass could grow, the tents and houses in the pastoral area had collapsed into debris, the Capricorns were gone, and no one could be seen.

  Father is also gone.

  Jie Jie began to fly in the air on his white horse. He searched everywhere for traces of survivors and his father. But he only saw more people being taken away as slaves by werewolves.

  The iron knights and iron warriors were all slaughtered.

  Cities turned into ruins and rubble.

  Invaders don't care about cities and pastures, they just take all available people and kill all resisters.

  Each werewolf was extremely strong and irresistible, and they easily and quickly occupied cities one by one, taking all the resources they could take—mainly capricorns and slaves. Then burn and destroy the city.

  In war, all people become equal for the first time.

  There are no masters and inferiors, everyone is a captured slave.

  …

  The wandering life of hiding in XZ made Jie Jie more and more tired and numb. He felt that most of the time it was Dabai who was saving him and leading him to escape.

  The only thing Jie Jie can repay is to play the piano for Dabai in the cloud.

   Only by hiding in the clouds can he feel at ease, without fear of being discovered and hunted down by werewolves. The werewolves had been untouchable so far, but he didn't know how much longer they could hide.

  Food became scarce, Dabai could eat bobo grass on the ground, Jie Jie also ate grass and various tree roots, and the food was basically burned by werewolves.

  Jie Jie feels that he is about to fail, but he always manages to get over it. His desire to survive is much stronger than he thinks.

  Playing the xylophone case, he can feel that he is still alive.

  What will happen in the future, he doesn't know.

  But have to live.

   Gradually, Jie Jie got used to living like a mouse. He collects edible food everywhere, grabs sweet potatoes with rolling snakes, competes with birds for grains, and avoids places where werewolves haunt.

  One day, Jie Jie played his beloved xylophone box in the clouds, and enjoyed a rare and forgotten time with Dabai.

  A big golden mouse appeared from the cloud.

  It is carrying a large backpack, its eyes are rolling around, and it looks very clever.

   "Your treasure is not bad."

   The golden retriever speaks the local dialect.

  Jie Jie was dumbfounded.

   "Now it's mine."

  The golden mouse said again: "You and your mount are also mine, and I will dedicate you both to the great God Yao."

   "Who are you? God Yao... Isn't the **** of this world Lord Wushen?"

   Before Jie Jie finished speaking, he felt that it was getting dark.

   Came back to his senses again, he found himself standing in a strange place.

  There are skeletons walking around one by one, they are either wearing armor, or carrying a sword and shield, and some even wear armor and ride a bone horse...

   Am I dead?

   Just when he was ignorant.

  A cold female voice sounded beside my ears: "This is the land of the great oracle of God Yao. A wanderer who has gone through all kinds of hardships, are you willing to dedicate your faith, follow Lord Yao God, and gain the protection of the gods?"

   In front of me is an elegant and solemn girl.

  Her eyes were covered with black cloth, and her delicate skin was even paler. She floated above the ground, the skirt of her black robe drooped naturally, and a strange book rested on her arm like a falcon.

  There has never been such a beautiful girl in the pastoral area.

  Jie Jie nodded in a daze.

   "Then from today, you will be a member of the Yao clan."

  The girl said loudly: "You must follow all the norms and laws of the Yao people's civilization, and offer your loyalty and faith to Lord Yao. Your life safety, personal dignity and private property will all be protected and defended by the Yao people."

A smile appeared on her face: "Welcome to join, I am the apostle Isabel of the Yao tribe. Take your Capricorn friend to rest first. There is food, water and a change of clothes in the room. If you have anything, you can talk to me." Captain Luca discusses."

"But…"

  Jie Jie stammered, "Werewolves, those werewolves."

   "Don't worry, even the wolf **** can't cross this camp."

   "Go and rest, you are tired and need a rest."

  …

  Until sitting in the hut, feeling the long-lost fire, warm blankets, and hot water, Jie Jie still felt that everything was unreal.

  He looked at Capricorn Dabai next to him, lightly played the xylophone case, and sang casually.

  Go to sleep, go to sleep.

  After waking up, let's change our way of life.
