They all call me an Outer God.

Chapter 373 His Purpose
  "I thought I heard something just now."

"And saw the fire."

At the bottom of the mountain, Alfin was carrying a mountaineering bag and using trekking poles to open a path. The surface of his arms was so bare that they almost covered one of his hands.

"It looks pretty handsome like this."

Elfin looked at his hand. The arm covered with white bones seemed to be wearing a layer of armor, even though there were countless densely packed tiny tentacles inside the armor that were connected to his flesh and blood.

Plague Origin seemed to be pleased: "Of course."

[With the deterrence I exude, those extraordinary creatures will not approach you, and you can successfully explore the truth]

"What is the truth?"

[There is an ancient city in the Gekso Mountains, which is the birthplace of the first curse seal, but ordinary people cannot find that kind of place, and only I know its approximate location]

[I buried a lot of good things there, I believe you will like it]

As it spoke, Alfin had already pushed aside the bushes and found the origin of the fire.

He saw a young figure, and when he got closer, he realized that it was actually a child of about six to seven years old squatting over there to warm himself up by the fire.

A child appears in a mountain full of supernatural creatures. This is not a normal thing by any stretch of the imagination.

Yuan Gu became alert almost immediately.

[There is something wrong with this thing, kill him now]

"Observe again."

Alfin was not in a hurry to take action. He couldn't feel the other party's hostility. Instead, he wanted to see what the child was doing.

This child maintains a crouching position, wrapped in a black cloak, with jet black hair and golden eyes. It is impossible to tell whether he is male or female based on his appearance. And judging from his appearance, he is indeed beautiful, as if it is rare to see him. angel.

While Alfin was observing him, he was just chewing on the dark coal-like things beside the fire.

"You are here alone, where are your parents?"

Elfin couldn't help but ask.

"..."

The child blinked and looked at him blankly.

But what I was thinking about was why this person still didn’t leave.

Just now, Swale saw that he couldn't avoid it, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. It swallowed Riya, and then turned into Riya's appearance.

But it was too hasty in the middle, and it directly transformed into the form of a young host, without having time to grow in size.

Now that the host is asleep, it cannot speak, so Svaal remains silent.

What are the people chattering over there?
  I don’t quite understand it, but I can barely understand it.

As for being recognized by Yuan Gu? Swale dared to say that the person who recognized it did not exist. If it existed, it would eat him.

Now it kind of regrets turning into a human. It would have been better if it had just turned into an ant and escaped.

Human arms are so short that they really want to flap their wings and fly.

Seeing that Swale didn't speak or make any movement, Alfin ventured closer and observed him carefully for a long time, and finally determined that he seemed to be just an ordinary person.

"He might have been left here by someone. We need to get him out."

Yuan Gu objected.

【Are you crazy? Putting aside the fact that this child is not normal, bringing an ordinary person here is just a burden]

"You need to understand that I am an investigator and I have an obligation to save lives."

【It’s really hopeless! 】

"Just think I'm hopeless."

Elfin said, and suddenly saw the child standing up, and the hem of his cloak slipped down to only his knees.

"Look, he's not hostile. Maybe he can help us?"

Elfin and Yuan Gu suddenly saw Swale turn around and kill an extraordinary creature that was attacking towards them.

Yuan Gu fell into silence now, even questioning his own memory.

[What species is this guy, a contaminant? I don’t remember my clone contaminating him, and the look in his eyes doesn’t look human either]

Little Swale didn't make a sound, and just stood behind Alfin, seemingly determined to follow him wherever he went.

If Riya is awake, she will definitely support its decision, so little Shival just needs to be patient and wait for the host to wake up, hoping that he will not have nightmares again.

"Are you sure you want to follow me?"

"..."

Little Shival nodded.

"Then what's your name?"

"..."

Little Swaar stretched out his hand, and in his hand was the most common Swaar coin.

"Your name is Coin?"

Little Swale turned his head.

"Svar?"

Little Shival nodded.

Alfin was surprised at this. He didn't expect that there were people named after money. Logically speaking, the Endles people were only used to giving their pets some weird names, but he didn't expect that in reality, there were actually people with this name.

But Alfin didn't say anything, and just sighed: "Your name is very special."

Little Shival nodded.

So Elfin took the newly found child and followed the guidance of the Origin Bone towards the ancient city hidden in the mountains.

The so-called ancient city is located halfway up a certain mountain. In order to see the huge building, everyone needs to climb the mountain.

Origin Bone was dissatisfied with Elfin's climbing speed, and was surprised that Shivaer could easily keep up with Elfin's speed.

It always felt that Swale looked familiar, but it couldn't remember where it had seen him before, probably because its current memory was incomplete.

But Yuan Gu still doesn't think that Swale can pose a threat to him.

They walked for a long time and climbed mountains for a long time. They were so tired that Elfin found a relatively flat place halfway and sat down directly on the ground.

"I'm dying and need a break."

Elfin picked up the water bottle in the mountaineering bag and drank some water for himself, then handed the water bottle to Swale who was standing aside. When he saw the other party shook his head, he stood up and walked to the side and squatted down, looking up at the foggy sky. Know what you are thinking.

"What a withdrawn child. If he grows up, he will probably be difficult to get along with." Alfin took out dried meat to satisfy his hunger, and found that the child didn't react at all even to the smell of food.

He was a little confused, wasn't that child even hungry?
  After resting for a while, everyone continued to move towards the top of the mountain. Xiao Siwaal always kept a close distance from the people in front, his eyes half-opened and his face expressionless.

So another day passed, when the sun was about to rise, Alfin suddenly said in surprise: "I can see the shadow of the building!"

Little Swale also looked over there, and as expected saw the architectural structure of a city, but speaking of the ancient city, it looked more like the ruins of a castle with a long history.

It is difficult to imagine how someone could build a castle in such a place, and who once lived in the castle.

In the legend that everyone talks about in Endles, the dragon will capture the princess and imprison her in the castle.

At this time, a brave man will ask the king for help to rescue the princess. After the brave man goes through all kinds of hardships to slay the dragon and rescue the princess, he will get the dragon's treasure, and the king will also betroth the beautiful princess to the brave man.

When Riya had nothing to do, he told little Shival this story. Little Shival couldn't help but tremble. He covered half of his face with his wings and only exposed his eyes. He thought this was really a scary story.

Why kill the dragon and take away all its treasures?

Heroes are really bad.

Wouldn't it be killed by some unknown person one day?

In this regard, Riya comforted it: "No one can touch your treasure. If there is, I will kill that person."

Little Shival was relieved. He lay on the quilt and felt that the host was really the best parent.

Everything it saves is reserved for Riya. If anyone really dares to touch it, little Shivall will let them experience the horror of mythical creatures.

Now that it was getting closer to the castle, it couldn't help but think of that story.

But reality is often scarier than stories. At least for Alfin, the closer he gets to the building, the more he can feel the coldness pouring from the depths of his soul.

Alfin didn't react until he stood in front of it, but subconsciously developed a resistance.

But at this time, the door of the castle was opened from the inside.

With a loud "squeak", countless dust fell from a high place, and what everyone saw was the darkness of nothingness.

In other words, the door just opened automatically and no one touched it at all.

"Is there any special mechanism behind this?"

Alfin wondered.

[How could there be such a thing? Come with me, I will take you to see something interesting]

As he spoke, the Origin Bone suddenly detached itself and fell to the ground, and the Origin Bone on the ground quickly formed the shape of a skeleton, with two white lights in its eye sockets lighting up astonishingly.

Elfin looked at his originally parasitized arm in silence, but now it was in terrible shape, with countless tiny tentacles crawling on it.

He endured the discomfort and followed Origin Bone towards the interior of the castle. Little Shivall followed closely behind him, still looking emotionless. If Alfin didn't know that he was a living creature, he would probably treat him as a human being. With dolls.

Plague Origin walked in front of the two of them, and the candles on the surrounding walls lit up one after another as they moved forward, illuminating the thick stone walls on both sides and the dusty red carpet under their feet.

Yuan Gu's voice echoed layer by layer in such an environment.

[People respect gods, and in order to seal the curse seal, they create miracles of life in the most unlikely places]

[In the past, countless devout people were willing to make sacrifices and went to the Gekkoso Mountains to build ancient cities, resulting in countless casualties. Most of the extraordinary creatures we saw on the way were transformed by the dead at that time]

[They proved their faith and their souls have ascended to heaven]

Alfin: "..."

Yuan Gu paused and continued to lead them forward. After a while, its voice sounded again, like reciting a poem.

[When I saw the Lamb opening the first of the seven seals, I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, “Come!”

Then I looked, and behold, there was a white horse, and the man who sat on it had a bow, and a crown was given to him.

Then he came out, victorious and victorious. 】

After the last syllable fell, they moved forward to a door, and this door opened automatically, but the truth behind the door shocked Alfin.

Behind the door, a group of extremely sticky and disgusting sarcomas were crawling there. They had teeth, and Alfin could hear the harsh sounds they made when they were crawling.

But that pile of things will not actively attack people, they will just stay in place quietly, preying on the dust in the air bit by bit.

Its body was so big that it completely covered the road behind the door, but at this moment, the voice of the Plague Origin Bone revealed a bit of a smile.

[Thank you for your hard work these years, McBenny]

"&Η叽*#%■■■&Gulu~"

The sarcoids uttered meaningless syllables, but at this time, Elfin stared at the Origin Bone in surprise.

"What did you just call it?"

[McBenny, haven’t I introduced it to you? Okay, maybe I didn’t introduce it]

[It’s not too late to introduce it now, hehehe]

[My beloved, this is His Majesty the Pope of the Church of the Glorious Rising Sun, the person the secret keepers are going crazy to kill.

But they may never realize until they die that the people outside are all substitutes trained since childhood, and the real Pope has always been stationed here]

"I don't understand, this is so...ridiculous."

[There is nothing to understand. McBenny is a man who is absolutely pious to the Lord. He personally opened the first curse seal. In order to welcome the coming of the Lord, he made countless efforts, and this piety also moved me. I】

[I decided to give him this qualification, the qualification to touch the curse seal]

[The test of the apocalypse symbolizes plague, war, famine, death, and perhaps more, but you are not qualified to know]

[In contrast, as "knights", their horses represent spirit, morality, humanity and vanity respectively]

[We believe that when a person’s spirit reaches a certain state, the Lord will recognize his ability as the Lamb and give him the opportunity to approach the first curse seal]

[This may be a bit abstract, but I think it’s better for you to communicate with him]

Alfin was so shocked that he could not speak at this time, but what shocked him even more was what was happening behind him, because he suddenly discovered that the extremely polluting extraordinary creature actually made a human voice.

"Save, save me... I am the Pope of the Rising Sun. I should receive His blessing. You can't do this to me..."

Alfin clenched his fists: "His Majesty the Pope, what exactly happened? It was not your intention to become like this, right?"

"No, no! We were all deceived by Him!
  His so-called blessing is a curse. I originally thought that with the help of the plague, I could explore the shackles of life. Maybe if I continue to study, I can use the extraordinary power brought by the plague to gain eternal life.

He also promised me. He promised me, but he didn’t say that he would make me look like this. Extraordinary creatures are all human beings! They are all human beings! ! ! "

As it said, its voice disappeared, and it once again turned into the image of a person who had no consciousness and could only swallow dust. Alfin couldn't help but feel chilled. At this time, he was already sweating a lot on his back, almost soaking his clothes.

"So what's the real purpose of bringing me here?"

Elfin looked at the source bone warily, but it waved its hand nonchalantly, and the tumors automatically dispersed towards the surrounding walls, revealing the path leading to the dark end.

[Isn’t this obvious? 】
