Chapter 4
==================
Arthur fell silent.
The lord of the abyss, the priesthood in charge is darkness, death and killing, world peace or something...it doesn't matter at all.
Also, where would anyone pray for this?
Lin Qiao didn't realize what was wrong at all, and asked complacently, "Look, can't it be realized?"
Arthur struggled for a while, and said, "...you can change your wish."
For example, inexhaustible money, supreme power, or unparalleled magical talent.
As long as it is a desire, it can be satisfied.
Lin Qiao: "That's it?"
Arthur: "Anything but this wish."
Lin Qiao began to point and point: "Look, just now I said that the gods are omnipotent, and I just made such a small wish, so it can't be fulfilled?"
Arthur: "..."
Arthur gritted his teeth secretly: "What you said, even the God of Light can't do it."
His body has been trapped in the abyss, but he can also know the information from the outside world from the mouths of believers.
Those sanctimonious gods, wearing a layer of upright skin, did not hesitate to start wars of faith everywhere in order to win the faith.
Deterrence and fear can better control followers.
I am afraid that for those gods, the last thing they want to see is peace.
Lin Qiao said rightly, "I don't believe in the God of Light either."
Arthur: "Then you..."
Then you are still thinking about believing in the God of Light during the sacrificial ceremony?
Lin Qiao didn't know what was going on in Arthur's mind, so he said plausibly, "You don't need to be too serious about believing in gods, just treat it as a business."
"It doesn't matter if you believe in something if it's good for you; if there's no benefit, why do you believe in Him?"
His faith is so simple and unadorned.
It's good, you can believe it.
No good, who are you hooking up with?Unfamiliar, really unfamiliar.
Arthur was silent for a long time: "In the future, don't say such things again."
Lin Qiao tilted his head: "Huh? Am I wrong?"
Arthur lowered his eyelids: "It will be regarded as heresy..."
What an audacious idea.
If such words are mentioned in front of any believer of the gods, they will be regarded as heresy and put on fire—even the most tolerant and kind believers of the god of light are no exception.
No god can allow a human being to violate his dignity.
Arthur's pupils turned slightly, and an abyss-like vortex appeared.
He should be angry too.
But... it was probably because Lin Qiao treated everyone equally and did not favor any god, which instead made him find it interesting.
Arthur thought to himself, it doesn't matter if he doesn't believe in the abyss now, one day he will make Lin Qiao fall into the embrace of the abyss willingly.
Lin Qiao met Arthur's gaze and blinked.
understood!
It turned out that Arthur was concerned about him.
"It's okay." Lin Qiao leaned over and put his arm around Arthur's shoulder, "I'll just tell you, you won't tell others, will you?"
Arthur clearly felt the human body temperature.
It was warm and soft.
It seems to be a mattress covered with white goose down, which makes people trapped and unable to extricate themselves.
For Arthur, after staying in the cold and lonely darkness for a long time, even a small embers of fire seemed so hot.
He was a little uncomfortable, and his body tensed up: "No, no."
Lin Qiao laughed: "That's good."
Arthur turned his face and asked in a low voice, "You...do you really want nothing?"
The Lord of the Abyss is still asleep.
He is not Him, but he is part of Him.
If Lin Qiao wants something, he has the right to satisfy it for him.
Lin Qiao thought for a while and said bluntly, "Yes."
Arthur: "What is it?"
Lin Qiao: "I want to leave the abyss."
Before Arthur could respond, he saw a white and soft palm stretched out in front of him.He froze for a moment, and heard Lin Qiao ask, "Are you together?"
Leaving... the abyss?
Arthur hesitated: "I've never left here."
Seeing that Arthur was hesitating, Lin Qiao held his hand directly and said, "It's okay, I'm here."
Arthur: "But, the abyss..."
Lin Qiao thought he was afraid of the Lord of the Abyss, so he said firmly, "Don't be afraid, it will be fine when we leave the abyss and find the Holy Son of Light. He will protect us and kill the Lord of the Abyss."
It's not him bragging, this is the plot in the original book.
Arthur: "...?"
Can the Holy Son of Light actually kill the Lord of the Abyss?
Lin Qiao: "So you don't have to be too scared, we just need to be careful."
Arthur: "...OK."
Lin Qiao and Arthur reached a consensus.
He opened a gap to look out, and only dared to open the door completely after making sure that the Flaming Yamo was no longer outside.
Lin Qiao came to the corridor lightly.Looking back, Arthur was still standing in the dark.
It was dark and gloomy, Arthur's face was blurred, and the shadows on the ground wriggled and twisted, as if they were afraid of the light outside.
Lin Qiao lowered her voice: "It's okay, there's nothing outside, come out."
Arthur tried to take a step and stopped at the door.
Lin Qiao thought he was walking too slowly, so he went back on his own initiative and pulled him out.
Arthur staggered a step, and was in the dim candlelight.
The abyss is cursed by eternal night and will never see light.
Even such a faint light was as hot as a flame to Arthur.
He didn't quite get used to it, turned his face sideways, and his wrists tensed up.
Lin Qiao looked over.
The candlelight flickered, and the figure elongated.
Lin Qiao found that Arthur's skin was very fair—the kind of paleness that seemed to see no light. Such a complexion made his facial features more profound and full of exotic charm.
In addition, Arthur has no blemishes all over his body, and is almost perfect.
Lin Qiao sighed in his heart: It's a pity that he was scared out of his wits.
She was as beautiful as a doll, but she was so frightened that her brain couldn't work. She believed in evil-religion every day, and couldn't even speak well.
Lin Qiao became more affectionate, gently shook Arthur's hand, and made a promise: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Arthur looked puzzled.
Since his birth, for him, there are only two kinds of human beings—the believers who demand from him and the ants who hate him.
Protection... an unfamiliar word.
Arthur stared at the man in front of him.
fragile humans.
If you use a little force, your neck will be strangled and you will lose your life.Even so, should we protect him?
Arthur felt that his emotions were strange and unfamiliar. He savored them quietly for a moment, and said in a low voice, "...OK."
……
Lin Qiao led Arthur around in the corridors. After searching for a long time, he still couldn't find the way out.
Lin Qiao asked, "Are you tired?"
Arthur shook his head.
Lin Qiao: "...I'm tired."
Arthur asked seriously: "What should be done then?"
Lin Qiao supported his forehead.
He knew Arthur was dull and stupid, but he didn't expect to be so stupid.
So he said angrily, "Rest."
Lin Qiao leaned against the wall on one side, ready to take a rest.
And Arthur was still standing straight on the spot, with his chin raised slightly, staring at the ceiling.
Lin Qiao was surprised: "What are you looking at?"
Arthur didn't speak.
Lin Qiao had long been used to the dull appearance of the wooden beauty, so she also looked up.
He saw a flash of light.
On the ceiling, a bat-shaped stone statue hangs upside down, with sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, which is very strange.
Lin Qiao made a comment: "This little thing looks quite unique..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the stone statue of the bat open its eyes.Then there was a "wow", the bat spread its wings and rushed towards Arthur.
Arthur seemed unaware of the danger and remained motionless.
The wind blown by the bat statue lifted its fiery red hair, revealing a pair of calm and indifferent eyes.
"Be careful--"
Lin Qiao threw Arthur to the ground, and the two of them rolled together.
Red hair and black hair tangled together.
Because of the excessive force, the palm of the hand rubbed on the ground, and there was a burst of burning pain.He didn't even have time to check it out, but he caught a glimpse of a cold light from the corner of his eye.
The stone statue of a bat has its teeth and claws, its wings and claws are sharp, and it emits a green light. It is full of toxins at a glance.
Lin Qiao held his breath, and protected Arthur behind him. He didn't know whether he was comforting Arthur or encouraging himself, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, it's okay..."
He is not afraid of such a big flame demon, but afraid of a small stone statue of a bat?
The stone statue of the bat sharpened its claws, changed its target, and focused on Lin Qiao.
Lin Qiao felt a chill on his neck.
He didn't panic, but went straight up.
These small monsters do not have the ability to kill their prey with one blow, so they will patiently lie dormant, waiting for their prey to show up.
As long as you don't show your timidity, it will naturally make the bat statue afraid.
Lin Qiao stared at the stone bat statue and groped on the wall with one hand.
I got it!
He grabbed the torch on the wall and threw it at the bat statue.
Sparks splattered.
The stone bat statue was afraid of light and fire, and when it came into contact with the flame, it let out a miserable scream, and instantly turned into a pool of ashes.
Lin Qiao took a breath: "Are you okay?"
Arthur shook his head.
Lin Qiao wanted to say something more, but before he could say anything, he saw pairs of scarlet eyes lit up in the thick darkness.
There were so many people, they all stared straight at them.
The Bat Statue... is a monster that lives in groups.
Lin Qiao's scalp tingled for a while, holding the torch in one hand and Arthur in the other, and ran in the opposite direction.
There was a "crash" sound in the darkness.
You don't even need to look back to know what kind of scene it is.
A stone statue of a bat flies across the ceiling, haunting.Pairs of wings spread out, and the voice was shrill.
Lin Qiao was out of breath from running.
And Arthur's tone was still calm: "As long as you believe in the Lord of the Abyss, they can't hurt you."
Lin Qiao: ...It's this time, you're still thinking about this! ?
He was furious: "I believe it, do you still believe it after I believe it?"
He clearly said "believe", but Arthur didn't feel the slightest bit of power of faith.
...too perfunctory.
Lin Qiao took a moment to look at Arthur, as if to say: Look, I believe everything, but it's still useless.
For the first time Arthur felt frustrated.
……never mind.
His mind moved.
Wisps of black mist drilled out from the cracks in the stone wall, forming a barrier.As soon as the bat statue collided with it, it turned into a puff of blue smoke.
After a while, the corridor returned to calm.
Lin Qiao: "Surprised, is it really useful?"
Arthur: "..."
Without the pursuers, Lin Qiao slowed down, turned a corner, and saw a black iron door in sight.
"There is a door!"
Lin Qiao impatiently came to the door and looked up.
The gate is towering, with strange lines engraved on it. If you look carefully, it seems that various ferocious demons appear in front of you.
Lin Qiao said silently in his heart: All fears come from insufficient firepower.
So he smashed the torch hard.
boom!
The torch hit the iron gate, and the shadow of the demon disappeared.Then, the heavy door opened silently to both sides.
As soon as a gap was opened, the wind couldn't stop pouring in.
Lin Qiao gathered the black robe she was wearing, and walked out against the cold wind.
Outside the castle is a cliff.
The cliff is isolated and high, and there is no way to go down.
Lin Qiao came to the edge of the cliff, with a movement of his toes, the loose stones rolled down and were swallowed by the darkness without even causing any waves.
Lin Qiao looked down into the abyss.
The abyss was dark and ups and downs, as if a pair of eyes were looking at him from afar.
Lin Qiao said to himself: "It's a dead end, how do I get out here?"
Before Arthur could make a sound, he had already started to teach himself without a teacher, put his hands together, and prayed to the Lord of the Abyss: "Lord of the Abyss, please, help."
Arthur: ...at least a little more pious.
