Chapter 77
"What's going on!"
"It's just an earthquake. There's nothing to worry about."
"Oh my god, you are such a fool. This earthquake must be related to the massive manifestation of dark elements. I wonder if someone is using god-level magic. I'd better go to the other side of the Black River first."
The demons who were at the bottom of the list in the Far West were worried that they would be dragged into the struggle between the strong, so they left one after another. Unable to see the road clearly, they could only fly high. When they looked down, they found that the fog was not only in the area where they had just stayed, but also spread to an area where they could not see the end at a glance!
Samuel walked smoothly and steadily, not affected by the darkness at all. Al was no different from a blind man. He grabbed the hem of the instigator's clothes to prevent him from getting lost, and negotiated with Him, "Can we not make it as dark as night in the temple?"
There is almost no light element in this territory, and he cannot waste the elements in his body on lighting. If the temple remains like this, then there is really no way to stay here!
Samuel controlled the dark elements on this side just to drive away the troublesome demons. It's not like he had a problem with his aesthetic taste. Why would he mess up his own temple like this?
But He did not explain directly. He glanced at the little boy who followed Him step by step. The look of him being unable to leave Him was actually quite adorable. He curled the corners of his lips in a malicious way and said, "Beg me."
I thought that with the kid's personality he would definitely turn cold, but he didn't know that in his previous life he had heard too many jokes from his friends, such as "Please beg me!", "Call dad and I'll help you", "Where is the person? Why don't you come to greet your father?", and so on. Al no longer felt anything when he heard such annoying requests.
In fact, whether he would get the cold shoulder or not also depends on who said it. If it was an outsider, Al would sooner or later find a chance to "educate" that person to speak properly, but Samuel... needs to be coaxed.
The young man faced His general direction, tugged at the hem of his clothes, and softened his voice: "Please, it's too dark, I can't even find where you are."
For some reason, Samuel felt his ears and heart itch after hearing this… He looked at the human who was always mature with some surprise, “Are you acting like a spoiled child to me?”
Al was stunned for a moment and hummed vaguely. It was better than being seen by Samuel that he was coaxing a child.
The other party did not give a clear response afterwards, but Al still heard pleasure from his brief hum, and thought he agreed.
This bad-tempered god is really easy to please as long as you say something nice.
At this time, Samuel was thinking that He was just a believer whom He liked, so it would be okay to pamper Him a little when He acted like a spoiled child.
The dragon cub didn't like environments without bright colors, and had long since shrunk and squatted on the shoulder of its owner. Because of the violent earthquakes that had not stopped and the tense atmosphere around them, the nervousness of the timid dragon made Al sigh. How could he be so stupid that he couldn't even tell who was the boss present? At this time, he should have taken advantage of the power of the tiger.
The earthquake didn't last long, and when it stopped, Al's eyes finally lit up.
Under the sky with the most magnificent clouds, the turbulent Black River rushed by. Several tall ancient buildings stood on the shore or on the cliffs. They were all built with black and dark gold crystals. Compared with the Bishop's Palace, they lacked the sense of holiness and were more noble and cold.
The buildings, which were originally inanimate objects, were like gigantic monsters that could swallow a mountain in one gulp, and they had a terrifying aura.
Al could only see a little bit of the top because most of it was blocked by the rough high wall in front of him. He knew what it was. According to ancient records, the Dark Temple was located on the banks of the Mother River of the Abyss and was half surrounded by a maze.
According to rumors, the gods will occasionally give audiences a chance. As long as you can get out of the maze and reach the temple within the specified time, the Lord of Darkness will grant you everything you want, including strength, status, and power.
Al wanted to ask Samuel if this maze was very complicated. He really wanted to give it a try. Then he turned around and saw that the other person's face was very gloomy.
Following Samuel's line of sight, I saw numerous ruins around. Oh~ these were certainly not the damaged parts of the temple, but the residences of those high-ranking demons.
The temple was sealed underground, leaving no trace on the ground. Now, long, long after, the demons had no idea that this was the territory of the gods. Seeing that the sky above was the most gorgeous and eye-catching, they built their residences and trading markets here, and those who lived nearby were the most powerful ones...
The temple was unsealed, and the Demon Palace Manor that was previously located here was completely destroyed by the violent force, leaving only some parts at the very edge that were not completely destroyed.
The demons nearby who were lucky enough not to be affected by the powerful force were staring in astonishment at the suddenly appearing temple, not paying any attention to the two strangers passing by.
The god's dark eyes were gloomy and the air pressure on his body was extremely low. Al guessed that this guy felt offended that his territory was occupied. In addition, the outer perimeter of the temple looked a bit messy. In his eyes, it was like the area near his home had become a garbage dump.
"Raymond just betrayed us, and we haven't had time to deal with him yet. He will be responsible for cleaning up the extra things in the Far West." It is not easy to change the environment back to the age of the gods.
Samuel, who had originally planned to make the buildings and demons outside the temple disappear immediately, changed his mind after hearing this and decided to leave them to be used to trouble His little believers.
But He doesn't like the chaotic atmosphere around the temple...
With a wave of his hand, a black dragon several hundred meters long was created, with a majestic posture and a domineering look. A dragon roar was so powerful that the nearby demons who had just been frightened felt like they were facing a great enemy!
The black dragon was roaming above the temple. It was too real, as if it was given life. Combined with the reappearance of the ancient temple, the smart demons directly regarded it as the monster of the Lord of Darkness, the guardian of the temple!
When it swooped down to the ground, the gathered demons scattered like birds and beasts. They didn't dare to gamble on how strong the guardian chosen by the gods would be!
Al showed a proud expression. Look at how great the image of the dragon from my hometown is. Even the gods from another world like it.
After dispersing the outsiders, the black dragon headed towards the direction of the Creator. Samuel jumped up, followed closely by the silver-haired young man. The black dragon carried the two of them across the maze, stopped outside the main hall, and then flew away, perching on the outer maze wall, carrying out the mission of deterrence and protection.
Samuel didn't even spare a glance at the magnificent throne high up in the hall, and led the young believer deeper into the hall.
Al noticed that the building materials on the top were all gemstones that emitted soft white light, and he couldn't help curling his lips - there was light already, and he had the nerve to say "beg me"! Samuel actually knew how to tease people.
He watched Samuel turn left and right without hesitation, obviously not taking him on a tour, but going somewhere with a purpose, "What are you going to do?"
"treasure house."
Samuel didn't think there was anything in this temple that little believers couldn't go to. He wasn't like some gods who thought that low-level creatures weren't worthy of entering their territory (the demons who had just been expelled from the Far West:???)
Along the way, the humans asked curiously about anything new they saw. After a few times, Samuel showed a look of disdain, "You are so ignorant."
Samuel would not allow the only believer he liked to be so ignorant! So he despised him but answered all his questions.
Standing in front of a heavy door about seven or eight meters high, Al saw the master of the temple push it open with his hand. He then saw mountains of gold coins and gems, and his mouth twitched - at least put a lock on it!
The two men walked at a steady pace, so the first one to rush in was of course the timid and greedy dragon.
"Ahhhhh!!" Longlong came to the happiest and most beautiful place in the world!
The palm-sized dragon cub rushed into the pile of treasure and disappeared, and the two men ignored it.
After crossing the threshold, Al's eyelids jumped. This treasure house... was much larger than a football field, and the gold coins and gems were undoubtedly the cheapest things in it...
Damn! So sour!
Samuel looked around, walked to the right, and picked up a staff and a sword from the pile of monster crystal cores not far from the gate.
Al: "..." Did you just throw your weapon in there and close the door before you left last time? ? ?
Samuel had no nostalgia for something he had used for tens of thousands of years. After getting it, he put it directly into the space ring without even looking at it.
Al quickly came up to Samuel and looked at him with shining eyes, "Don't collect it so quickly, let me see it for myself."
"Tsk." The magnanimous god took out his weapon and stuffed it directly into the believer's hand. "I have seen the divine weapon. Don't behave like this in front of other gods and embarrass me in the future."
Al made a promise, his pretty face slightly distorted - damn, it's so heavy! How many hundred pounds?
If he was just a simple fragile magician, there was no way he could catch it! The moment he caught it, it would fall to the ground and hit his feet...
The staff was made of dark magic material, of course, mainly in calm black, with dark red as decoration. The sword was a finger-wide, with black engravings in the middle and silver-white edges that glowed with a cold light.
The appearance of Samuel's weapons was the same as his owner's personality, not fancy at all, and there was nothing worth appreciating carefully. Al returned the two items to Samuel and asked curiously about the raw materials.
Samuel briefly explained to the kid the source of the raw materials, and glanced at the treasures around him. Most of these things were thrown in to fill up the space because he didn't want to see the treasury too empty. Except for a few that he found himself because he thought they were rare, the other treasures had no value to him at all.
Of course, gods have no value, but humans even think gold coins are important, so they will definitely covet everything here.
"Get whatever you want."
After all, he was raised strong and healthy by the young believer more than ten years ago. He is not the kind of heartless and ungrateful god, so it is only right that he should give him something.
At this point, Samuel seemed to have forgotten that he had once thought about it while making fire, cooking, washing clothes and farming - when the little guy grows up, he must give him a good treat!
Al's eyebrows were curved, and there seemed to be tiny stars hidden in his deep blue eyes. He would not be shy with Samuel and Winster. "Okay, but I have never heard of many treasures. Can you take me to see them?"
The young man clasped his hands together, "Please Samuel, I won't waste your time for long."
Samuel narrowed his eyes slightly, "You're acting like a spoiled child again." Motioning for him to follow, he turned around and walked deeper into the cave with the kid, expressing through his actions that the violent and arrogant Lord of Darkness was very fond of this.
“……”If you say so, then so be it.
By the time Al had picked out a few materials that he could use later and some magical seeds with miraculous effects, his curiosity and enthusiasm for unfamiliar things had mostly disappeared, so he wanted to leave.
After he walked out of the door, he remembered that the dragon cub had fallen inside. He opened his mouth to call out, and then some incompetent master finally realized that he had not yet given the contracted beast a name, mainly because they had been next to each other for the past few days and he had no chance to call it.
The dragon cub was a little tired after flying for three days and had fallen asleep half buried in the pile of treasure. Al didn't see any movement, so he had to go back to look for it.
"Can you give it a name?"
Samuel raised an eyebrow: "I'll take it?"
Al's eyes wandered for a moment. The cowardly dragon's greed for money was too obvious. In just a short while, he could only come up with the name "Wangcai". After translating it into the language of this world, it was a bit long, and if the bishop heard it, he would definitely call him for a talk.
The young man's pretty face was slightly troubled. "I can't think of it. I can only ask you for help."
The handsome god looked at his believer with a critical eye. He was afraid when he jumped into the abyss, and he wanted him to accompany him when picking treasures. Now he even wants him to name his magical pet. What a little believer... He is just a facade and is actually useless.
"Just call me Beno."
In the divine language, it means fire, which is quite perfunctory, but Al is not picky and it is always more impressive than Wangcai.
After finding the dragon cub, Al picked it up and took it away. It was sleeping soundly, but its two front paws were holding a golden gem tightly, making Al feel sorry for it for not being able to carry so many treasures with it.
"What are you going to do now?"
Samuel saw him yawning, his expression was hard to describe, "You can eat and sleep, and you like to make money. You and this dragon are really suitable to be the main pet."
Al looked at him and said in a gloomy tone, "I haven't had a good rest for three days." He always slept on the dragon's back, and the abyss had no distinction between day and night, which seriously affected his biological clock! After saying that, he yawned again.
Samuel sneered, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you die of exhaustion.”
Walking through a wide corridor, Samuel pushed open a door with dark red patterns and said, "I'll sleep here. Let's clean up first."
The room was spacious, but there were few items. It was decorated in classical European style, with a calm, low-key and luxurious beauty. There was an exquisite stained glass, no, jeweled window that could be opened for ventilation, so the room was not dull. The light was dim and very quiet. Al nodded in his heart - it was very suitable for sleeping.
After Samuel finished speaking, he walked in and sat on the soft chair, his two long legs crossed together. The fur of the monster behind him was clean and soft, as if it had never experienced a thousand years. He leaned on it with a leisurely posture, obviously waiting for the little believer to pack up the bedding.
Seeing that “He” didn’t look like he was going to leave, Al asked in confusion, “Are you resting in this room?”
Samuel raised his eyelids, "This is my bedroom, what do you think?"
"...Then where should I rest?"
"Just sleep here." Samuel felt that the kid was a little slow.
After a moment of silence, Al asked again, "Are there any guest rooms?"
“No.” He had never planned to invite guests to stay overnight, so why would he prepare guest rooms?
"Oh..." I wasn't surprised at all.
As he quickly made his bed, Samuel came over without saying anything.
When being wrapped in the black fog, Al had already gotten used to it, because Samuel was a clean freak, he was always kept clean. Samuel didn't know that he, a great god, had been regarded as a must-have for home travel by mere humans!
Although he still looked lazy, Samuel got to bed faster than the little believer.
He complained about the kid being sleepy, but he himself had occupied the body for several days in a row and had used too much strength, which had already exceeded his body's capacity and he was in urgent need of healing and rest.
Every bone and muscle in his body ached, but Samuel acted as usual. Al was always by his side, so he didn't notice anything was wrong.
Lying down comfortably, Al turned sideways and discussed with the temple owner, "This place is so big, there must be an empty room. Can I go and clean up a guest room tomorrow?"
Samuel opened his eyes, "What's the need? I just came back to get something. I won't stay long."
"I'll still be staying for a few days. Will it crowd you if I sleep in this bed? Let's sleep separately." In fact, the bed was very big and not crowded at all. He just thought it was weird for two grown men to sleep together every day.
Samuel didn't answer for a moment, he slowly sat up and looked at him, a faint smile on his lips, "You're right, it's a bit crowded."
For some reason, Al always felt that His smile was as if He was planning something bad.
Samuel clamped his chin forcefully, pinching the little believer's soft cheek with two fingers, forcing his lips to open a little.
Al stared at Him blankly. He did not resist because he did not think that the other party would suddenly hurt him. Samuel smiled and was in a good mood. Although the little believer was useless, at least he behaved well and looked pleasing to the eye.
“Cough… cough cough…”
A tube of potion was unexpectedly stuffed into his mouth. Al's mouth was covered and he couldn't spit it out. He was very sure that Samuel would not use such a troublesome method to kill him, so he could only swallow it.
"What kind of medicine is this?"
Samuel sat beside him with one leg bent, looking at him with interest. "You'll know soon enough."
As he finished speaking, Al watched the other person grow bigger... No! It was him who shrunk!
The palm-sized little Al crawled out of his pajamas, and then pulled a corner of his pajamas to cover his body, with shock and confusion on his face: "Why did you make me smaller?!"
Samuel raised one corner of his lips and said, "Are you worried about the crowd? It's not crowded now."
"..." Ahhhh, can your brain circuits be more normal when dealing with problems? !
"I'm afraid you'll roll over and crush me to death!"
Samuel looked at the fair, tender and extremely delicate little cub. He pursed his lips angrily, his cheeks slightly puffed up, making him look chubby and cute. He frowned, and his eyes seemed to be on fire, brighter than usual.
Samuel stretched out a finger and tapped his little forehead, "It would be better if you could show up earlier." His little believer is much cuter than the timid elf raised by the goddess of nature. He can be shown off in front of the gods.
Al didn't ask any further questions. He thought that this guy wanted to keep him as a pet to entertain himself. He snorted coldly and curled up in the quilt to sleep.
Samuel appreciated those with temper more than those who were overly obedient. He did not bother with the brat and let him rest.
When Al opened his eyes again, he saw the same gloomy sky that hadn't changed for thousands of years. Even though his body had gotten enough sleep, he still felt mentally tired and wanted to lie down again.
He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes to try to wake himself up a little, then turned over with his back to Samuel, the little human sleeping, trying to wake him up as a small revenge, and then...
Al met a pair of exceptionally bright black eyes.
"Winster..." Please stop looking at me like a dog seeing a bone, thanks:)
