Chapter 75
The abyss recorded by the outside world has no sun or moon, and no distinction between day and night. It is in eternal darkness, without colorful and lovely flowers to decorate it. The white mist floating like gauze will brighten people's eyes, but unfortunately this mist is poisonous, and creatures other than the abyss species should be careful to avoid it.
All races in the abyss are subordinates of evil gods such as the Dark God or the Plague God. They are murderous and aggressive by nature, and some even eat raw meat and drink blood. They have no respect for corpses, even the corpses of their own race, and wantonly transform them into undead races for them to control. Long, long ago, the heroes of the human race also suffered this humiliation after death...
The abyss that the priests told the world about was dark, bloody, with mountains of bones and monsters running rampant.
But Al saw a very objective description in an old traveler's notebook in the academy, which made him very curious about this world. He decided to travel here in his lifetime. Oh! Of course, the God's Realm was also in his plan.
Because it is far from the sun, the heavy and gloomy colors are everywhere, which makes outsiders feel a little oppressive. It seems that it is always at dawn in winter here, the temperature is cold, and white mist like a layer of gauze is seen floating slowly everywhere.
The visibility was okay, but not as clear as the outside world. Looking up, the sky above was completely different and colorful - with endless black as the canvas, colorful thick clouds were scattered in it, dark gold, orange-red, fluorescent purple... and flowing star sand, which reminded Elphis of the magnificent pictures of the universe he had seen in his previous life.
There were many black and red cliffs on the ground, and it was not as barren as rumored. Right where they landed was a dark forest with thick, straight and iron-hard tree trunks and thick leaves that were bigger than their heads.
Al quickly glanced around, then belatedly let go of the collar he had just grabbed, and found that Samuel's hair, which had been dyed dark amber, had turned back to black, his sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, and his three-dimensional facial features were as handsome as if carved by a knife. He looked casual, but had an aura of majesty without being angry. In order to slow down the landing speed, he used dark elements to condense a pair of black wings, like the arrival of the emperor of the dark night.
Al looked at the other person with admiration and exclaimed, "Looks good. Sure enough, your original hair color suits you better."
Samuel showed no expression. He just glanced at him calmly and turned his head away, as if he didn't take the casual compliment to heart at all. However, the wings behind him happened to tremble slightly at this moment.
The wings were half-encircling the silver-haired young man who looked particularly fragile and holy in the abyss. Al noticed that the black wings were so delicate that he could see the fine hairs on each feather, and wondered if it would feel as soft as it looked.
Unfortunately, before the hand could touch it, the wings disintegrated, turned back into free elements and disappeared into the air again.
He looked up unhappily, just in time to catch a fleeting teasing smile from a certain god.
"Ah~" The little dragon poked its head out from the sleeve. It fell in love with the gorgeous sky at first sight. It flapped its wings excitedly and wanted to fly up. Al grabbed it directly. With its size, it was not even as big as the crow on the tree next to it. Who knows what would swallow it soon.
Samuel was quite disgusted by the stupidity of the dragon, but he thought it would be a good mount compared to a horse, so he said, "Contract it."
After finding a way to make the dragon smaller and easier to carry, Al was no longer as resistant as before. In addition, the dragon was weak, simple, and greedy, so it was a harmless image in his eyes. Al always felt pity for the cubs that bumped into him, and pushed by Samuel's words, he contracted the dragon.
"Why……"
Samuel frowned, "I didn't force you to sign a contract. If you don't want it, just throw it away."
"Well, I don't feel it's forced." He just sighed. He had just raised a child and now he had to raise a cub. He was really destined to be a father.
Because the dragon was already very obedient, there was no need to use complicated ancient spells to suppress the contract like Raymond did. Al fed it some blood, finished the spell after a while, and when a red mark sank into the dragon's forehead, he could vaguely feel the dragon's mood.
For example, now the dragon cub is curious and excited about the new environment. Conversely, the dragon can also understand the owner's joys and sorrows.
"Where to go next?"
Samuel picked a direction and walked forward, "The Far West."
Al put the little dragon on his shoulder, followed Him and walked side by side with Him, and asked curiously: "How do you know this is west? Are you familiar with your current location? Are you sure you are going in this direction?" Without the sun and no tools, he had no way of determining the direction anyway.
Of course, Samuel couldn't determine the direction. He had indeed lived in the abyss for a long time, but he had never paid attention to most places. However... he had sealed the temple in the beginning, so he just had to follow the direction of the seal.
Samuel, who was very concerned about God, would never admit that He didn't even know such a small matter, so he commented on His little believer without any change of expression: "You talk too much."
“…”
Al pursed his lips and glared at Him secretly. He had already begun to miss the well-behaved Winster.
After walking a few steps under the familiar magnificent sky, Samuel suddenly remembered that he could no longer travel thousands of miles in an instant... He stopped and mercilessly grabbed the dragon cub that was squatting on the little believer's shoulder and happily playing with its silver hair, "Let it take us over."
Being held by the wings by the huge black and cold-looking bipedal beast, the dragon cub was so scared that his eyes became wet, and his limbs frantically flapped towards Al, "Awooo!" Master, help me QAQ, there is a big monster that wants to eat the dragon!!!
Al took the dragon back and fed it the potion, and kindly reminded it: "Be gentle, it's so timid, what if you scare it to pee..."
It's just a hypothesis, but Samuel's eyes were filled with murderous intent when he looked at the dragon cub, and it seemed that he would never catch this cowardly dragon with his bare hands again in his life.
The dragon returned to its original size. The two tiptoed and jumped onto its back. Samuel had completely forgotten or had not paid attention to something, but Al still remembered it. The young man looked at the knight who had been silent since entering the abyss and was hiding behind a tree and peeking at them, and greeted him in a friendly manner: "We are about to set off. Why don't you come over?"
Raymond curled his lips. He was so stupid that he believed that these two strange guys had forgotten about him.
After knowing their secret, I knew I couldn't escape and could only follow them obediently.
Since his race was known, he no longer needed to be cautious about what he said or did, and he didn't need to be careful about what he said or did. Raymond was silent for a long time, looking at Samuel and Al, and asked repeatedly: "How can Winster know dark magic?"
"When did you know that? You're okay with him??"
He scratched his head in confusion again: "How did you two know I was a demon? My horns and wings haven't grown out yet, and I didn't use any dark magic!"
"What on earth are you doing in the Abyss? Especially you, a light mage, you really don't know how to live or die!"
"Where did you learn how to unlock the seal, Winster? Fuck! I've been looking through the records in the Vatican for so long and I didn't find anything!"
El glanced at him dimly. Raymond didn't care about exposing his purpose, so he approached 'Winster' and said, "The abyss is full of dangers. You are weak, so you'd better not venture into it, especially to the far west. You want to see the Dark Temple, right? Unfortunately, the temple disappeared after my god fell asleep."
"The Far West has now been occupied by high-ranking demons. If you show up rashly, you will die without even a hair left."
In the Age of Gods, no demon in the abyss dared to approach the Far West. Separated by the Black River, with the temple standing proudly on one side, this was the only place that belonged to the Far West.
The followers of the gods, on the other side, relied on their strength to seize the position closest to the Black River, hoping that one day they would be noticed by the God of Darkness and have the opportunity to serve him.
After the war between gods, no miracles were seen anymore. Some believers crossed the Black River boundary to look for the temple in order to find peace of mind. Over time, more and more demons went there, and places with many living creatures often became residential areas.
In the minds of the abyss race, living in the far west can establish a little connection with the gods. There are also very arrogant demons who think that establishing a territory here proves that they are strong enough to dare to compete with the gods for land.
Because of the special significance of the Far West, those who have lived there for a long time are all high-level demons with deep realms. Any one of them is stronger than these two humans, so what Raymond said just now was not an exaggeration.
Of course, he didn't make this reminder out of kindness, and he put forward a condition in the next sentence: "However, my father has a lot of influence in the Far West. As long as Winster is willing to draw the magic pattern that can unlock the seal and give it to us, it won't be a problem for him to escort you there to take a look."
Al saw that Samuel's face looked bad when Raymond said the last part, and he probably guessed the reason...
He had read in a book that the Dark Temple was located in the far west, and because the gods were cold and overbearing, no other living being dared to set foot in this place. From what Raymond said, Samuel's territory was invaded and transformed by a large group of demons? ?
Looking at Raymond holding his head high, as if he was very proud of his family's status, Al opened his mouth and wanted to remind him - stop showing off, stop showing off, or your family might be gone!
Noticing Samuel slowly raising his hand, Al quickly stepped forward and grabbed the hand that was about to end Raymond's life. Facing his cold eyes, the young man coaxed him softly, "You can still run errands, keep you as a servant."
Samuel felt that the young believer was too soft-hearted. If he continued like this, he didn’t know how many times he would go against Him in the future. He might even get angry with Him. He should let him know that he was not an easy-going god.
However... considering that what he said makes sense this time, I'll spare this guy's life.
Samuel didn't look at Raymond again. Instead, he held the silver-haired young man's hand and leisurely stroked his neatly trimmed fingernails, pinching them from time to time. It was unclear whether he liked the smoothness of the nails or the softness of the fingertips. After a moment, Al began to wonder if "He" was going to break his fingers as punishment for his interference.
Raymond was so angry at these two arrogant guys! He once again showed his presence: "Fuck! The Abyss is not a place the Church can set foot in. Don't be so arrogant!"
Samuel finally spoke, but it was not in response to Raymond, "He talks too much. When we leave, we will leave him in the abyss."
Al didn't hesitate and said, "Okay." If they were so impulsive, what if their secret was exposed one day?
To Raymond, this sounded more like they were trying to use him up and then kill him to silence him!
He didn't dare to say anything, and walked silently to the edge of the dragon's back, away from the two weirdos, and waited until he reached his territory...
No matter how angry he was, Raymond had to honestly point the way and tell the two outsiders which city below had a teleportation array. After three days of traveling, the magic dragon flew across the calm Black River, and they finally arrived at the far west.
Raymond couldn't wait to jump down, and when he landed on this land he hadn't set foot on for more than 20 years, he felt proud again!
Because the dragon's flying over was too conspicuous, many eyes nearby were focused on the group.
"Oh my god, isn't this old Hank? You look a lot younger. Tell me what method did you use? Was it a magic potion? Or did you finally break through the realm?"
A seductive woman flew over, flapping her bat-like wings. She had big breasts, a thin waist, long white legs, and was barefoot. She had very little clothing on her body. From what Al could see, her long burgundy curly hair covered more than her clothes.
Anita soon noticed the two strangers beside the 'old acquaintance'. The silver-haired young man had such an exquisite appearance that she wanted to make him into a puppet to preserve his beauty forever. He also had a restrained and holy temperament that she had never seen in the abyss. As for the man with black eyes... he gave Anita a strong desire to conquer him.
The succubus gently grabbed the tail that was swinging wildly behind her with excitement. She held the heart-shaped tip of the tail and looked back and forth between the two of them, as if she was worried about which one to choose first...
Raymond interrupted the succubus's reverie with a dark face: "Mrs. Anita, Hank is my father, I am Raymond, don't you remember me?"
What a look! His father looks so old, how could he mistake himself for him!
