Crossover Anime: Starting from Jobless Reincarnation

Page 153

Luo Ya was slightly taken aback by the other party's unusual and refreshing answer, then laughed heartily and said, "Do you know who I am?"

Zanaba shook his head and walked towards where Roya was, honestly saying, "I don't know. Is it an intruder? No, no intruder would come here to bathe."

Roya seemed oblivious to the other's actions, and continued, "I am the god of ancient Greece who governs figurines. Oh, you may not know what figurines are, they are just dolls."

Zanaba wasn't very interested at first, but when he heard the other person's words, he was startled, suddenly looked up, and swam toward where Roya was.

Just when he thought the other party was about to launch an attack or do something else.

The other person suddenly grabbed Roya's hand, his face covered in tears, his watermelon head swaying slightly with Zanaba's movements.

Luo Ya's face was full of question marks. The other person was very strong. Although Luo Ya could feel the other person's sincerity, the strength was a bit excessive, and it even made his hand hurt.

With a blank expression, he activated the Dragon Blood, amplifying his magic once more. He shook off Zanob's hand and snapped at him angrily, "Just talk, don't lay a hand on me."

Zanaba was somewhat surprised that the other party was able to shake off his hand, but after the surprise came ecstasy. As if he had thought of something, he suddenly stood up and revealed his second brother.

He reached out and grabbed at something on the shore.

Then, to Roya's astonishment, the other party took out something that looked like a doll.

Compared to the Loki figure, this doll appears quite rough. Although Zanaba held it carefully in his hands, it couldn't change the fact that it was terrible.

With a smug smile, Zanopa said to Roya, "Well then, Your Majesty, although I don't know anything about ancient Greece, I'll show you my masterpiece since you are the god who controls dolls."

After saying that, he handed it to Roya as if it were a precious treasure.

Luo Ya hesitated for a moment, but still took the doll from the other party.

Although the dolls are extremely simple, they have some merits.

Well, for example, clothes, or something that makes it immediately recognizable as a person.

Roya thought for a moment, then put the doll aside without saying anything more. He said to Zanaba, "Then, I'll show you what a real doll is."

Zanaba wasn't angry that his painstakingly crafted doll hadn't been recognized by the gods; instead, he looked at Roya with curiosity.

Then Luo Ya recreated the process of sculpting Luo Qixi.

Although it's a bit strange to do this kind of thing in a bathhouse, I'm just killing time anyway, and this time, I might even gain the other person's trust.

The 2.0 version of the Lokishi figure has been released.

The duration wasn't long, but the procedures were extremely complicated.

To Zanaba's utter astonishment, Roya demonstrated magic without incantation and an unparalleled control over magical power.

The clay was gathered in his hands, then controlled with fine threads, constantly modifying the doll's facial expression, then the lower body, and the clothing. Every movement was meticulously crafted, perfectly demonstrating what craftsmanship is all about.

Of course, it is not appropriate to use the term "craftsmanship" here.

After the finished product was made, Luo Shen was handed to Zanaba, and he said to Zanaba, "This is another deity, named Luo Shen."

Zanaba paused, carefully examining the figurine in his hand. He ran his hand along the patterns on the clothing, staring at it for a full ten minutes without saying a word. Zanaba's expression was as if he were examining an extremely precious work of art, his demeanor utterly focused.

Suddenly, Zanaba spoke up: "I believe you now. Such a masterpiece could not possibly exist in this world. Oh, at first glance, it looks like an ordinary magician holding a wand. But this puppet has a sense of movement. Look at the rise and fall of the hem of the robe. It clearly shows the moment when the figure steps forward with one foot and raises the wand, pointing it forcefully forward. Also, you can see the wrists and ankles visible from the cuffs and hem of the robe!"

Zanaba grew increasingly excited as he spoke, an unnatural flush rising on his face. He continued, "Very little skin is exposed. Yet, despite the scarcity, one can naturally sense her sensuality. And just from this small amount, one can tell that this magician girl is remarkably slender, concealing a figure that is by no means voluptuous beneath her robes. Even with such loose clothing, it's still evident!"

Luo Ya was somewhat surprised that the other party was able to completely recreate his ideas when creating the Goddess of the Luo River.

It must be said that Zanoba does have some talent.

Zanaba continued, "The person who made this thing can no longer be described as a genius; he is a god."

Even Roya felt a little embarrassed to receive such praise from Zanopa, wondering if he was worthy of the title of god.

In fact, Luo Ya considered himself to be a complete novice as well.

After offering his praise, Zanaba asked in a strange tone, "But why does this doll look so familiar?"

Chapter 162 The Seventh Prince and the Third Prince

Zanaba seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly slapped his thigh, saying to Roya, "I've seen this person before. Isn't she the court magician who just arrived not long ago? What's her name again? Oh, Lokishi."

After speaking, Zanaba looked at Roya with a strange expression and said to Roya, "The so-called Goddess of Luo, could it be that she is Lokishi?"

Even after being exposed, Roya showed no embarrassment. Instead, he put on an angry expression and said to Zanaba, "How could you directly say the name of the Goddess of the Luo River?"

Seeing that Roya was angry, Zanaba quickly apologized and said he would never do it again.

Luo Ya nodded, forgiving the other party's mistake.

After all, the Goddess of the Luo River wouldn't be petty.

Zanaba hesitated for a moment before speaking, "However, if the Temple Knights of the Milis Order find out about possessing such an image, I'll be sent to the Inquisition and executed as a demon worshipper." As he finished speaking, Zanaba observed Roya's expression; if the other's expression turned sour, Zanaba would immediately change his words.

Zanaba cautiously added at the end, saying to Roya, "Of course, this prince is not questioning the identity of the Goddess of the Luo River, but, well, you know, her hair is blue. If others discover that this statue is carved to resemble the Goddess of the Luo River, they will definitely think she is a demon, right?"

Roya thought about it and felt that what Zanaba said made a lot of sense, so he couldn't help but ask, "Is it that serious?"

He'll be executed...

But thinking about it, it makes sense, since the Knights Templar are mostly religious fanatics.

Zanaba nodded and said, "That's true. Even if I were the third prince of the Kingdom of Xilong, if they found out about this, I would be sent to the cross."

Their conversation ended there.

Zanaba still held onto the Loki figure, expressing his reluctance to part with it.

Unlike the Seventh Prince, who was a pervert, Zanaba was clearly genuinely fond of the artwork. After a moment's hesitation, he said to Zanaba, "I have sensed your piety. The statue of the goddess Luo is yours. Oh, and remember to recite the prayer every day."

Upon hearing Roya's words, Zanopa's cheeks flushed strangely. He nodded quickly, but then asked with some curiosity, "A prayer?"

Roya organized his thoughts and addressed Zanopa: "May the great God Lochishi bless us, embracing the earth with divine grace, illuminating the heavens with azure divine eyes, influencing all things with gentle divine countenance, and purifying our hearts with tender divine words. Now we may sleep peacefully in your love. This is our prayer, offered in the holy name of your beloved son, my Lord Lochishi, Lomen!"

Zanaba fell into deep thought. After a moment's thought, Zanaba looked at the exquisite Luo Shen figurine in his hand and finally nodded with difficulty.

Although it's hard to swallow, it's not shameful when it comes to art.

With a solemn expression, Roya handed the statue to Zanaba, who accepted it with both hands, his face full of piety.

Luo Ya nodded, finding no fault with the other person's piety, and expressed his high regard for the other person.

Zanaba carefully placed the figure aside. It was still soaking in the bath, and if it got wet or accidentally fell, it would be very troublesome.

However, having art pieces alone could not satisfy Zanoba. Art pieces are more of a collectible, and Zanoba was not a collector. He wanted to learn how to make such exquisite dolls.

Therefore, the moment Zanaba put the doll down, he tightly grasped Roya's hand, pleading with Roya to accept Zanaba as his apprentice.

Luo Ya pondered whether it was worthwhile to take on such a cheap apprentice. After thinking about it, he felt that there seemed to be no harm in taking on such an apprentice.

After all, the other party is a divine child.

In this world, some children are born abnormal. When we talk about abnormalities, we might think of deformed children, but most of those children are perfectly normal in appearance.

Conversely, these people are only considered ordinary in appearance.

They are born with special abilities.

For example, they can be exceptionally fast, exceptionally strong, have more sensitive hearing than others, be as light as a feather or conversely, be extremely heavy, freeze anything they touch, breathe fire, shoot poison from their fingertips, teleport short distances instantly, shoot light from their eyes, be immune to all poisons, not get tired even after a whole day without sleeping, and not go limp even when sleeping with hundreds of women at the same time, etc.

Children born with extraordinary abilities like these are called "divine children" in this world.

Without a doubt, Zanova is the son of God, and his superpowers are uncontrollable immense strength and extremely strong resistance to physical attacks.

Although Zanoba's way of thinking is extremely peculiar, once he sets his mind on something, it is very difficult to change his mind.

In other words, once you gain someone's trust, they will help you unconditionally in the future.

They possess the talent to grow and can be recruited as his henchmen, though nominally they must become his apprentices.

When Roya agreed, Zanoba was naturally overjoyed. He grabbed Roya's hand, his face flushing even more, which, combined with the other's watermelon-shaped haircut and slightly gaunt cheeks, made Roya feel a chill run down his spine.

Breaking free from the other's grasp, Luo Ya said with a serious expression, "Disciple, you mustn't hold your master's hand like that again!"

Zanaba tilted his head, his watermelon-shaped head showing a question mark. Zanaba asked in confusion, "Why?"

Luo Ya said with a serious expression, "Only Master's wife can hold Master's hand, and besides, your expression is a bit too much."

Zanaba nodded, looking knowing.

The two fell silent. Roya planned to quickly finish his bath and get clean before getting close to Loki, while Zanaba continued to lie on the shore looking at Loki's statue.

Looking at the other party's seemingly possessed state, Luo Ya pondered for a moment and said to Zanoba, "No strange things are allowed to be done to Luo Shen."

Zanaba, who was studying the statue of Loki, was taken aback by what he heard and turned to look at Roya, asking, "What do you mean by 'strange thing'?"

Luo Ya said with a serious face, "It's like something your brother, that pervert, would do."

Zanopa pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized, nodded with a serious face, and patted his chest, saying, "I will not blaspheme the goddess Luo, Master, believe me, I will treat this work of art with the utmost respect."

Luo Ya's lips curled up, as if to say, "I have high hopes for you." He then continued, "By the way, please take good care of Luo Qixi for me, and make sure she's not bullied."

Zanaba nodded again.

There was a silent stillness, with only the sound of water flowing.

After soaking for about ten more minutes, Roya got up, said goodbye to Zanaba, and left the bathhouse dressed.

Luo Ya was in a pretty good mood, since he had taken care of the matter while taking a bath, and there was no need to waste time going to see the other party separately afterwards.

The clothes Roya was wearing now were no longer the coarse linen clothes, but a slightly loose bathrobe.

After all, we're going to have a big show tonight, so wearing my usual clothes would definitely be a bit inappropriate.
