Everyone's eyes were focused on Gus.

"Could it be that his enemies have set a trap that he cannot escape from even with the help of the tavern?" Ying Zheng pondered secretly.

He found it a little unbelievable.

Judging from the strength possessed by many of the guests in the tavern, they are probably no different from the legendary gods.

Could it be that the power that this guy's enemies can exert far exceeds that of gods?

Others apparently had similar thoughts.

Gus looked calm.

He thought of the scenes that happened in the Eagle Group.

Although Griffith was ambitious and sometimes seemed inhumane, he also once risked his own life and got into trouble.

In his heart, every member of the Eagle Group is a friend, and Griffith is the most special one among them.

One of the important reasons why he left the Eagle Group was to gain status and strength equal to that of the Eagle Group and become a friend that he truly recognized.

Not to mention Casca.

She had always admired Griffith.

From the moment he rescued her, Griffith occupied a very important place in her heart.

Guts didn't want to embarrass Casca, who had just confirmed her relationship with him.

"Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will not look back!" he said in a firm voice.

Hearing his words, Li Xunhuan, who was not far away, nodded secretly.

For people in the underworld, righteousness is the most important thing.

He wanted to make friends with him.

After Gus finished speaking, he turned to Su Luo and said, "Thank you for your reminder, sir. I will prepare well when I get back!"

He still couldn't help feeling surprised.

The Skeleton Knight gave him an ambiguous warning, and the tavern owner mentioned the matter again.

But Griffith has been imprisoned for a year. Could it be that the Midland Kingdom is so afraid of the Eagle Group? Or is this all an illusion and they are exaggerating? Guts took a deep breath.

From childhood to adulthood, it was not the prophet's predictions that helped him overcome crisis after crisis.

He glanced at the hilt of the sword, his eyes gradually becoming firm.

Compared to all this, he believes more in the sword in his hand!

"I'm not talking about saving him," Su Luo shook his head, "I mean after rescuing him."

Gus said in a deep voice: "There is more than one country in the world, the Kingdom of Midland!"

He had discussed it with Casca last night.

Rescue Griffith, take him across the border and settle him down, and then the two of them leave together.

Su Luo shook his head, suddenly changed the subject, and asked, "Do you remember what Zuo De said?"

"Undead Zod?" Guts asked.

Su Luo nodded: "He once pointed at Griffith and told you, 'The day this guy's ambition is shattered, that will be the day you die.'"

After Su Luo's reminder, this memory deep in Guts' heart became clearer.

He had no idea how Su Luo knew this.

But since Su Luo knew about this matter, it became even more important in his heart.

"What exactly is Zuo De?" Gus couldn't help but ask.

When he was fighting with Zuo De, the scene where that guy transformed into an extremely powerful bull-headed monster and finally flapped his wings and flew away had a great impact on him.

He had heard many versions of the rumor, but he still had doubts.

"An apostle who sacrificed something vital." Su Luo said.

"Apostle?" Gus was surprised.

He vaguely heard this statement somewhere else.

"Do you know the truth about your world?" Su Luo asked.

Gus shook his head.

"Your world can be considered to be composed of two parts," Su Luo said, "the material world and the netherworld."

"The material world is the world you live in, the world you can see with your eyes and touch with your hands."

"As for the Netherworld, it is a reflection of the emotional fluctuations of intelligent creatures. All extraordinary powers come from there, especially those negative emotions, various desires and ambitions, which condense into many monsters..."

Su Luo shook his head and said, "No."

He asked in return: "If the desires of sentient beings could be manifested, what would be born?"

Desire manifests?

Gus frowned and thought for half a minute before he slowly said, "If you just want to get something for nothing, it's impossible to produce good things!"

"That's the truth," Su Luo nodded with a smile, "In the deepest part of the netherworld, there is a collection of human subconsciousness that transcends the individual. You can call it the source of the devil, or hell, or... the god of the abyss!"

"Of course, it has another name, called the Sea of ​​Thoughts. It exists because it was created by humans, but it also weaves the fate of humans and manipulates all causes and effects."

Gus felt an inexplicable chill.

But he soon thought of something else.

If such a being wanted to destroy humanity, it should be easy.

Moreover, since the other party relies on human beings for existence, it is unlikely that it would have such thoughts. Perhaps it is simply a collection of evil thoughts.

But……

"What does this have to do with that monster Zod?" he asked.

"Wait, is he the apostle of the God of the Abyss?" He suddenly reacted and stared at Su Luo.

"No." Su Luo shook his head, "I'm afraid that only those few God's Hands can truly contact the God of the Abyss."

Without waiting for Guts to ask again, he continued, "There are only four God's Hands at the moment, and perhaps the fifth will appear soon."

"They are also called demon kings, and some say they are angels who live in the netherworld and can exercise some of the power of the God of the Abyss."

"Ordinary people can use Behelet as a medium to summon the Hand of God in the Netherworld. If they can sacrifice the most important person to them and sever the bond, they can gain powerful power through this ritual."

"They are the apostles." Su Luo said faintly.

Ying Zheng, who was not far away, shook his head secretly, thinking that it was worthy of being a ritual of the Devil, and it was indeed evil enough.

Gus frowned: "If we cut off the bond, wouldn't that be the destruction of humanity?"

"What else?" Su Luo asked back.

"No wonder!" Gus suddenly realized.

He finally understood why that guy possessed such terrifying power. It turned out that he was a monster who had lost all humanity.

But he still had many doubts.

"What is Behelet?" he asked.

If he encounters that kind of evil thing that can summon the devil, he must destroy it.

"An egg-sized, oval-shaped object, as hard as a rock, with distorted facial features on its surface..."

Seeing Gus's face gradually becoming ugly, he smiled and said, "You've seen it, right?"

Gus moved his lips but said nothing.

Su Luo answered for him: "The bright red Behelet on Griffith!"

"You mean Griffith will become an apostle?" Guts' heart sank.

"Of course not." Su Luo said.

Gus's frown gradually relaxed: "That's good..."

He was halfway through his words when Su Luo interrupted him and said, "It is called the Overlord's Egg. It is much more advanced than the ordinary Behelet and only appears once every 216 years."

Gus' heart tightened again.

"Griffith will use it to open the Eclipse and summon the Hand of God..."

Staring at Guts's expression, Su Luo said word by word: "He will sacrifice the Eagle Group without regrets, allowing her to be reborn as the fifth demon king... and then, he will forcibly protect Casca in front of you..."

"Even if you cut off your own arms and got your eyes gouged out, you can only watch this happen..."

"If you are as lucky as before, you may be rescued by the Skeleton Knight..."

The pub gradually became quiet.

Except for Su Luo's voice that continued to echo.

It was like a bloody dagger piercing Guts' heart inch by inch.
