"The God of Spring protects the Aier people and makes the pastures under the northern plateau feel like spring all year round. Even in hot summers and bitter cold winters, the cattle and sheep on the pastures will not die due to the weather."

Chen Yan couldn't tell whether Gotlinde was talking about a fairy tale or something that really happened.

"The Spring God protected Al's pasture year after year. I don't know how many years passed, but suddenly some people betrayed the Spring God."

"Those people just followed the German landowners on a long trip, and when they came back they talked about how wonderful the world outside was."

"Outside there are buildings taller than the mountains, sea ranches that can hold a thousand sheep, cloths that can't be soaked by rain, and corn flour that's ground finer than the fine sand on the beach at the edge of the pasture.

There are nice canvas pants and leather shoes.”

"No one had seen anything like that at that time. As long as a young Ayr boy put on canvas pants and leather shoes, he could attract the most beautiful Ayr girls in sight and make them willing to sleep with him."

"On the pasture there are only cattle, sheep and meadows, no canvas pants or leather shoes."

"But everyone wants it."

"Everyone wants to sleep with the prettiest Ayr girl."

She grinned, and her smile was extremely charming in the smoke illuminated by the dim kerosene lamp. Her straight waist made the drinkers around her look straight at her, and her red hair seemed to be burning in the smoke.

"People are leaving the ranch one after another. Mr. Germain provides a considerate [transportation service] - as long as you hand over thirty sheepskins, you can have a ticket to the empire."

"If you hand over ten more cow hides, you will be eligible to enter the factory - Mr. Germain will use his 'hard-won' connections to arrange entry into the factory."

"Once you have the qualifications to enter the factory, as long as you get off the ship and enter the factory, you can make money - wages and even daily wages!"

"They could take that money--until then, they didn't know what money was--and buy ale without insect corpses and rotten leaves, buy rum that was more fragrant than rabbit blood in spring, buy

Shoes that can completely wrap your feet, and you can buy jeans that are more beautiful than the most beautiful lambskin.”

When Gotlinde said this, her tone did not fluctuate, but Chen Yan felt that she was very depressed.

Because he probably knew what she was talking about.

“It’s so grateful!”

"Under such 'kindness', most of the kind-hearted Ayr people even put aside the hatred accumulated for hundreds of years, paid sheepskins and cowhide, and followed Mr. Germain on board the ship."

"We later learned that those Ayrs who had boarded the ship earlier were placed in factories in major coastal cities in the empire by Mr. Germain."

"Mr. Germain has negotiated with the factory owner. The Ayr people who are provided by Mr. Germain to the factory will receive 2 pence from the original salary of 5 pence per person per day."

"Master Germain got money, the factory owners got workers, the people of Ayr got jobs and money, and they bought the most delicious ale they had ever tasted in their lives."

"Even if the ale is just brewed from the bran used by the Imperial people to feed their animals, it is still the best wine the Ayers have ever tasted."

"Ha, that's perfect."

Gotlind ordered another glass of wine, drank it down, and burped again: "It's really delicious...it's a hundred times better than the rotten persimmon wine from home, and I never get tired of it."

Chen Yan didn't like drinking, and he didn't like drinking the ale brewed by the imperial people. He always felt that the ale had a strange rotten smell.

Therefore, when Gotlinde hiccupped, he covered his nose without concealing it.

"Ah, Mr. Chen, it looks like you've had better wine."

Chen Yan heard the ridicule in her words and said carelessly: "Well... what happened next? How is the Spring God? All the believers have left, so he is no longer a god."

The expression on Gotlind's face finally changed.

It seemed to be some kind of very weak sadness.

"yes……"

"He watched the believers leave the land that He protected one by one, and felt that the believers no longer needed Him. He was very sad, but there was nothing he could do."

"Without the believers, the power of the Spring God is gradually lost.

Without his divine power, the pastures under the northern plateau would no longer be like spring all year round.

The heavy rains in the summer washed away the irrigation canals that the Ayr people had used for many years, the frosts in the autumn froze the fields that were already overgrown with weeds, and the bitter cold in the winter reduced the pastures to frozen soil."

"The last group of Ayr people couldn't hold on anymore, leaving behind the old, weak, sick and disabled. They paid all their belongings and boarded Master Germain's ferry."

"Spring God lost his followers and even lost his godhead because of it."

"His only chance to survive is to follow the last group of believers to the empire."

"In this way, when believers occasionally remember Him, they can provide Him with some poor faith and allow Him to maintain his life."

"After entering the empire, the El people who were lost in the bustling city gradually forgot about the Spring God. As a result, the Spring God could no longer maintain his supreme divine body.

The spring god descended into a human being.

But He still loves His people.

So, He walked across the land of the empire, looking for the El people scattered in every corner, trying to awaken the people's love for Him——

He can even transform himself into another kind of god for the sake of his people."

When she said this, she stopped.

Chen Yan was extremely curious and asked: "Has the Spring God succeeded?"

Gotlind rolled her eyes: "If the Spring God succeeds, I won't need to come and tell you so much nonsense."

She continued: "Spring God did not succeed, and we lost his trace."

She looked into Chen Yan's eyes: "Various gods walk on the land of the empire for different reasons. The Spring God may have been eaten by other gods, maybe."

She got closer, and Chen Yan smelled a pungent fragrance on the tips of her hair, which was very different from body odor.

"I heard something recently, saying that some important people conducted some experiments, and the product of one of the experiments was a plant with the vitality of animals.

I think that thing may be related to the Spring God."

Chen Yan suddenly thought of the heart of the barrier spirit that had been cut open by Ogami.

The heart seemed to be made of animal muscle tissue, but there were actually plant fibers in it - this thing almost exactly matched Gotlind's description.

Gotlinde's next words made Chen Yan very confused.

"You want those rabbits, right?

No problem at all, I could fake their death and then find a way to transport them out of the zoo. That wouldn't be too much trouble, but it would be a huge risk."

She emphasized the word "huge."

"But as long as you do something for me, I can help you - help is mutual, right?"

Chen Yan didn't speak. He was thinking about what he had done before - he was thinking about where he missed the mark and let her know his thoughts.

Seeing that he had stopped speaking, Gotlinde seemed to be sincerely teasing him, and whispered in his ear: "Anyway, you have seen the situation in the rabbit area, right?"

She...felt my gaze!

Chen Yan calmed down.

To be more precise, when he saw the world through the eyes of desire, he felt her sight when he saw the rabbit area.

Then, her spiritual vision must be quite high and her spiritual sense must be very developed. Otherwise, how could she detect my gaze?

Perhaps, believers of the Spring God themselves have stronger spiritual awareness than ordinary extraordinary beings?

Or maybe...she was just testing.

Chen Yan said sternly: "Colleagues should help each other. Let's not talk about rabbits for now. What help do you need from me?"

Although Gotlind had been preparing for this conversation all day, she still didn't expect such a response from him, and she didn't know what to say.

Does he... really not care about those rabbits, or is he trying to show off his strength? Or is he just pretending?

Before she could figure it out, a harmless and kind smile appeared on Chen Yan's face:

"Asians like to value harmony. Besides, we will be together as colleagues for a long time in the future, so we should help each other, are you right?"

There must be no slang for "advancing by retreating" in the civilization of the Aiel people, so Gotlind didn't know what to do for a moment. Just to show that she was not showing weakness, she reluctantly replied:

"I don't like to accept favors from others casually...I also know that you must want those rabbits, so I will give you rabbits and you will help me find plants that have the vitality of animals."

She glanced at Ogami, and without looking away, she said to Chen Yan, "Don't say you can't find it."

She actually knows Ogami and knows what happened last night!

She looked at Chen Yan's slightly surprised expression, knowing that she had taken the initiative again, and raised the corners of her mouth again:

"Are you surprised? There was such a big movement last night, the monsters under the Smokey Lake knew what happened!"

Chen Yan thought for a moment and said, "I'll try my best, but there's no guarantee of success."

Gotlind then said: "Rabbit..."

Chen Yan waved his hand and interrupted: "We won't talk about rabbits today."

Gotlinde was completely confused. What on earth was he talking about? Did he really not want those rabbits?

But I clearly felt his gaze on the rabbit before - this means that he must have some kind of connection with one of those rabbits.

Gotlinde didn't know how that connection came about, and that didn't matter.

The important thing is that she is the breeder of the rabbit area. If he wants to have further contact with those rabbits, he must go through her.

Chen Yan looked at her slightly confused eyes, sighed, and said:

"Actually, I don't care at all.

One of those rabbits is the child of an old friend of mine. Before his death, the old friend entrusted me to take good care of his child, but who could have imagined that such a thing would happen..."

When Chen Yan said these words, Gotlinde used her spiritual sense to sense him from beginning to end. Once he lied, she would know it immediately.

But something that shocked her still happened - Lingjue told her that he really didn't lie!

Did he only want those rabbits for the sake of his old friend's affection?

When Gotlinde thought about what she had done, which was to threaten the other person's feelings, she immediately felt that she was a head short.

She gritted her teeth:

"Tomorrow night...at the latest the day after tomorrow, you will get the rabbit you want."
