Chapter 117: Demonstrating "Supernatural Powers" Again
Atina stood on the hill, facing north and looking into the distance.
Against the rosy glow of the sunset, coupled with the desolate Gobi Desert and Wanbai City, there is a sense of tragedy and grandeur as "the desert is in late autumn with sparse grass, and the lonely city is in the sunset with few soldiers fighting."
Atina didn't turn around. "Aren't you scared to death of me? Why are you here?"
"I don't feel so scared at this moment."
Atina's mouth curled up slightly, "That's the best."
"Is Rong Yi with you?" Wei Yu took out Rong Yi's necklace. "I found it in Wanbai City."
"She values this necklace the most. Please help me change it for her."
Atina didn't take the necklace. He frowned slightly and said, "I was taken away by some generals. Rongyi didn't come with me."
Wei Yu's hand holding the necklace trembled slightly, and he put the necklace back.
"Clear the battlefield. If her... body isn't there, she might have taken advantage of the chaos to leave Wanbai City."
"Ah."
Both of them knew that besides leaving, another possibility was to die in a corner where no one knew about it.
They just don't want to think in that direction.
Until the sunset glow was covered by darkness, and stars twinkled in the sky.
They just stood there for so long.
Wei Yu was tired and sat down on the ground.
Atina also sat down. "So you came here just to ask about Rong Yi's news?"
"I came to you to say that I can cooperate with you to make your people willingly return to the arms of Da'an."
Atina raised an eyebrow, "Tell me more about it."
"I." Wei Yu put her hands on her hips, "I am a goddess. I only need to open my mouth and they will listen to me."
"Use deception." Atina reacted immediately.
"Isn't our goal to help them live a good life? A little deception... No, how can this be considered deception? It's debate, persuasion, lobbying."
"So how are you going to debate, persuade, and lobby?"
"This requires your cooperation." Wei Yu asked, "You just need to spread the word among your people that there is a goddess in Dawei who can pray for rain, and that she can help you pray for rain."
"Leave the rest to me." Wei Yu said confidently, patting his chest.
Athena probably knew what Wei Yu was going to do, and reminded him: "We in the Xiongnu and Western Regions have little rainfall to begin with, and coupled with the drought over the years, praying for rain like we did in Wanbai City may not work."
It is understandable that Atina has such concerns. After all, there is no rain, and they cannot force God to rain.
Wei Yu just wanted to force God to make it rain.
That’s right, Wei Yu is preparing to create artificial rainfall.
"Believe me, I am confident that I can create a powerful rain and let you feel the power of technology."
Because the weather was too dry before, Wei Yu had nosebleeds three times a day, so she was happy to study how to create artificial rainfall.
It just so happened that Chuan Yan and the little genius Luther Xing, whose hobby was blowing up alchemy furnaces, were also there, so Wei Yu told them about the idea of artificial rainfall.
Luther Xing also remembered that sometimes when he blew up the alchemy furnace, water droplets would indeed fall. After several days of research, he found that it was because of the saltpeter.
A few days ago, many cloud rain catalysts using saltpeter as raw material have been made. As long as the catalyst is scattered into the sky, artificial rain can be generated.
At this time, the cannon came.
After Wei Yu left, he rushed into the military tent of the Taoist priests Chuan Yan and Luther Xing, and discussed with them how to make the catalyst into a cannonball, shoot it into the sky through a cannon, and make it explode successfully.
As a result, within five days they had actually hand-rolled several shells containing catalysts.
Wei Yu couldn't believe it when he saw the round cannonball.
"Successful?" Wei Yu asked blankly.
Chuan Yan and Luther Xing were so excited that they hugged each other.
"Successful, successful..."
"It's worth it that we've been working so hard these past few days."
Wei Yu said excitedly, "Quick, let's make a few more and put them into the experiment as soon as possible."
They rubbed several catalyst shells in one breath.
Three days later, Wei Yu took Si Muzhen, Atina, Bai Shuyang and others to an open space.
There is a high platform in the middle of the open space.
Along the way, a few generals and envoys from the Western Regions came to eat for a free meal, and they joined them very easily.
"I thought you only called me." Si Muzhen complained, and the time they had alone together was ruined.
Atina and Loulan were also there, and Si Muzhen felt even more resentful.
"Also, what's this outfit you're wearing?"
In order to better fit into the role of a fortune teller, Wei Yu specially got a set of shamanic clothes, a sword, and a Bagua mirror.
It can be said to be very immersive.
More than twenty soldiers surrounded the platform, some holding trumpets, some holding a washbasin in each hand, and some holding drumsticks and standing next to the war drums.
They looked more nervous and serious than on the battlefield.
As soon as Wei Yu started to perform the ritual to pray for rain, they would beat drums and washbasins.
They are not just a group to create an atmosphere. Wei Yu has seen that those who prayed for rain in ancient times would arrange for the beating of gongs and drums. It is said that this is to allow sound waves to stimulate the clouds to produce friction, the clouds to generate electricity, and the positive and negative charges to produce water.
Regardless of whether it works or not, the atmosphere is already like this, it has to work.
Wei Yu slowly walked up to the platform.
"SE-NO..."
The sound of drums, the beating of basins, and the blast of horns all rang out.
The people below the platform covered their ears.
Wei Yu was very foresighted and put on earplugs in advance.
She drew out her sword, performed a set of sword-fighting radio gymnastics, then picked up the Bagua mirror and started to perform a shaman dance.
She hummed a song, and to suit the occasion, she even looked for lyrics that mentioned rain.
"Hey, I really miss you. It's raining outside the window again..."
"The raindrops outside the window accumulate drop by drop..."
"The most beautiful thing is not the rainy day, but the eaves where I hide with you..."
"The sky is raining, the clouds are crying..."
Then the rain came down "clattering".
Everyone looked stunned.
Atina looked at Wei Yu with burning eyes, and his heart was shaken. Could this man really be able to pray for rain?
When Wei Yu saw the rain coming, he bowed gracefully and turned to walk down the stage.
Hidden strength and name.
Several generals and envoys from the Western Regions have already knelt down and shouted "Goddess", of course except Loulan.
"How did you do it?" Bai Shuyang shook Wei Yu violently, "I knew you were extraordinary. It turns out you really are extraordinary."
Wei Yu was very familiar with Bai Shuyang's eyes. Only when she cooked something delicious would Bai Shuyang look at her with such admiration. It seemed that this and delicious food had the same position in Bai Shuyang's heart.
"I have magic." Wei Yu said nonsense seriously.
Bai Shuyang looked confused, "So you are the Harry Potter..."
"What Harry Potter?" an envoy asked curiously.
"It's Harry Potter, the one who can do magic, Avada Kedavra~~" He even made a gesture of waving a magic wand.
Of course, I learned this from Wei Yu.
Si Muzhen carried Wei Yu away at lightning speed, fearing that if he was too slow, he would be snatched away by someone else.
Being able to pray for rain is extremely valuable in the eyes of people from the Western Regions and the Huns.
Hide immediately.
