Chapter 5 Unfamiliar Emotions
====================
Arthur was a little helpless, but there was nothing he could do.
Lin Qiao clasped his hands together and closed his eyes. He looked very pious, but he kept saying, "I beg you so much, please don't be ignorant of good and bad, let me get out of here quickly..."
Arthur: "..."
It's just too perfunctory.
And it seems that if the Lord of the Abyss does not respond, even this false belief cannot be maintained.
Arthur hesitated to speak.
Faced with such a perfunctory prayer, he should be angry.
In the past, he would have crushed the ignorant human beings and dragged them into the abyss forever, unable to escape.
But the boy in front of him is especially special.
So clean.
The boy's soul is clear and has nothing to do with any gods.
Because of this, the power of faith born from it is even more majestic and pure.
Of course, what Arthur wants is not the power of faith, but the willing submission of the young man.
He wants the young man to believe in the abyss and take the initiative to throw himself into the embrace of the abyss.
It seems that... this goal is still far away.
So Arthur had to choose to let the water go.
With a sweep of his gaze, the fragmented stones floated out of thin air, as if being pushed by a pair of invisible hands to form an arch.
The scarlet moonlight was attracted and passed through the arch, forming a twisted vortex.
The vortex rotated slowly, and there were waves of transparent ripples, as if it could lead to another place through this arch.
Lin Qiao's eyes widened, and he said incredulously, "It's really useful? So powerful?"
He was praying with the mentality of trying, but he didn't expect the Lord of the Abyss to give him such a face, and he responded immediately.
Arthur: "Because...you are the favored one of the abyss."
Lin Qiao's back tightened.
Dependent?
Doesn't sound like a good look.
Who knows what it will be like to be favored by the Lord of the Abyss?
Lin Qiao thought of the description in the original book.Those believers in the abyss were polluted by the abyss and turned into strange monsters in the end.This is not bad, more believers are mercilessly torn apart by the devil and become a meal on the plate.
Either way, he doesn't want it.
Arthur was still talking.Every word he said was laborious, but full of strange magic power: "Just pray to the abyss, and you can get everything..."
Lin Qiao: You want to brainwash him again, right?
Even though the voice was very attractive, he still refused: "No need."
Arthur was a little dazed: "Why?"
There is a dark place in everyone's heart, even the most noble saint is no exception, as long as there is mud, desire can breed. Driven by desire, no one can refuse such a choice.
——As long as you pray to the gods, you can get everything.
Lin Qiao: "All the gifts bestowed by fate have been secretly priced." He looked at Arthur's handsome profile, and said earnestly, "Don't always think about getting something for nothing. What you get, you will definitely pay for it." price."
But if you pay, you must ask for something in return.
Arthur froze for a moment, the scarlet moonlight fell on his cheeks, looking a little dull.He couldn't understand: "What, mean?"
Lin Qiao's tone was calm: "That is to say, I don't like to leave my fate in other people's hands."
The young man's figure is thin and he has no power of faith, yet he has inexplicably produced another kind of power.A stronger, tougher force.
Arthur reminded sadly: "But, you just prayed to the abyss."
Lin Qiao: "Cough..."
He just tried, he was not sincere at all, he did not expect the Lord of the Abyss to come and give him whoring for nothing.
Is it any of his business?
This has nothing to do with him!
Lin Qiao became confident again: "Didn't you ask me to pray?" He quickly threw the blame out, "I just did it because I was afraid that you would be sad."
Arthur: "..."
it seems to be like this.
Just when he was struggling, Lin Qiao changed the subject: "Let's get out of here quickly."
Lin Qiao couldn't wait to escape from the abyss, so he pulled Arthur into the arch.
The moonlight flowed quietly, and the vortex slowly turned.
After Lin Qiao took two steps, he felt a sense of dizziness, and a dazzling white light appeared in front of his eyes.
He closed his eyes subconsciously.
I don't know how long it took, but the white light slowly dissipated amidst a jolt.
Lin Qiao staggered and finally stepped on the ground.He opened his eyes, and his first reaction was to go to Arthur.
"Arthur!"
A voice came from behind: "...um."
Arthur stood behind him, seeming to be one with the darkness, with his head down, unable to see the expression on his face clearly.
Lin Qiao asked, "Are you uncomfortable?"
Arthur repeated: "Uncomfortable?"
He didn't quite understand the meaning, and was a little at a loss.
Lin Qiao: "Is there any discomfort?"
Arthur frowned slightly: "Are you... caring about me?"
Lin Qiao: "Otherwise?"
Arthur met Lin Qiao's gaze.
Those eyes were clean and clear, without any impurities.
Concern...is another strange emotion.
He should be an omnipotent existence, everyone fears him, guards against him, hates him, and never cares about him.
Arthur should find it ridiculous.
After all, a fragile, short-lived human being came to care about the incarnation of the Lord of the Abyss.
But he didn't.
He felt a strange emotion sprouting from the chaotic darkness, uncontrollable.
Strange, but not annoying.
Arthur stood there without responding for a long time.
Lin Qiao had long been used to his frightened appearance, so she walked over and held his hand, and only after making sure that he was all right did she let go.
He looked around.
I don't know where the arch leads to. They are now in a forest.
The crown of the tree is tangled and tangled, and it is densely packed.
The tree shadow is slender, and the thin branches stretch out their teeth and claws, shaking and rustling in the wind.Farther away, the roar of a demon could be faintly heard.
Weird.
Lin Qiao touched his shoulder and felt a little cold, so he moved closer to Arthur.
Arthur asked bluntly, "Are you, afraid?"
Lin Qiao was embarrassed to say she was scared, so she asked, "Don't you think it's scary?"
Arthur looked at Lin Qiao fixedly and shook his head.
He will not be afraid.
This is a human emotion.
Lin Qiao's eyes rolled slightly: "I'm a little scared, but I'm not afraid when you're here."
Arthur hesitated: "I...?"
Somewhat ridiculous.
He has always been the source of fear and the incarnation of death. When can he become someone else's reliance?
Lin Qiao didn't know the complexity of Arthur's heart, so he grabbed Arthur's arm and urged, "Let's go."
Arthur felt warmth on his skin.
Still weird, but...not annoying.
Two people are walking in the woods.
There are dense trees and a winding path.
After walking for about 10 minutes, the front suddenly opened up and a castle appeared.
The sky was gray, and from a distance, the gate of the castle was open, like a beast ready to devour people, waiting for the prey to throw itself into the net.
Lin Qiao paused.
The sudden appearance of such a castle here always makes people feel a little uneasy.He wanted to go around, but the people in the castle discovered their existence.
The maid came out from behind the door carrying a kerosene lamp.
The kerosene lamp was not bright enough, only a hazy halo.The maid stretched forward a little and asked, "Is this a guest from afar?"
Lin Qiao was sure, it was a human being.
The maid said again: "The countess has prepared a sumptuous dinner and is waiting for the guests to come."
Lin Qiao was thinking about whether to go in and have a look, when suddenly a thunderbolt exploded from the top, followed by heavy raindrops.
He didn't hesitate anymore, and hurriedly dragged Arthur in to shelter from the rain.
The maid led the way: "Please follow me."
Lin Qiao explained her identity: "We are not guests invited by the countess."
The maid was not surprised: "Guests, rest assured, the Countess is hospitable and will not turn away any guest—especially in such bad weather."
Probably in response to the maid's words, another thunderbolt exploded outside the window.
At that moment, the dark castle was as bright as day.
Lin Qiao noticed with sharp eyes that there was a puddle of blood that hadn't dried up in the corner.
His heart skipped a beat, and he waited for the thunder to disappear before looking again, the blood was gone.
There are oddities in this castle.
Lin Qiao thought so, and moved closer to the people around him. He leaned into Arthur's ear and said vaguely, "There may be danger here. Follow me later, and I will protect you."
Arthur felt a warm and moist breath on his earlobe.
a little itchy.
His eyelids drooped and he gave a low "hmm".
The maid walked to the other end of the corridor.
At the end, there is a gate.
The maid reached out and pushed, and the door slowly opened to both sides.
Behind the gate is the hall for receiving guests.
The warm lights flowed, and the silver knives and forks shone brightly.Sweet and delicious apples, soft white bread, fragrant roast chicken are placed on the table...
Lin Qiao is hungry.
The maid smiled slightly: "Guest, please come in."
Lin Qiao starved and suffered from the cold all night. He didn't feel the tension before, but now he felt his stomach growling as soon as he was in a warm environment.
Something is wrong with this castle.
There is danger inside.
Lin Qiao warned himself again and again, and walked in slowly.
Several people were already sitting at the dining table. They heard footsteps and turned their heads to look over.
The first time I saw Lin Qiao, I was amazed.
The young man was in a mess, his black hair was messy, and his black robe was covered with mud, but he still couldn't hide his fair skin and bright eyes.
Like a diamond stained with dirt, it can always shine brightly at the right time.
Strangely, none of them noticed Arthur's presence.
One of the thin noble sons with noodles asked first, "Are you also invited by the countess?"
Lin Qiao shook his head: "No, I'm just passing by."
The noble son raised his jaw arrogantly: "I am the son of Earl Calis, and I will be titled Knight of Light in the future, inheriting a fertile territory and countless serfs."
Lin Qiao:?
Inexplicably flaunting wealth?
Noble son brother: "Tell me your identity."
Lin Qiao: "I'm just an ordinary passerby."
The noble son looked Lin Qiao up and down.
It has to be said that even the most critical eyes could not find any flaws in the young man.His hair was as black as a crow's feathers, his skin was fair, and his lips were red. When he was stared at by those black and white eyes, no matter how hard-hearted people were, he would be shaken.
The aristocratic son's eyes flicked, and he approached subconsciously. Before he could make a move, he heard a displeased cold snort in his ear.
The shadow under the gas lamp suddenly came to life, revealing a ferocious face, as if it wanted to swallow people up.
The badge on the chest of the noble son shone with white light, resisting the shadow.
He knocked over the cup in front of him in a panic, and stood up abruptly: "Hug, sorry!"
The noble son came here full of hostility, but finally fled.
Lin Qiao didn't understand why, so she turned her head to Arthur and said, "This man is so weird."
Arthur's eyes dimmed.
This is his sacrifice, and no one else is allowed to touch it.
The person sitting next to him didn't notice the strangeness, and said with a smile: "Don't listen to him bragging, in fact, he is the second son of Earl Calis, and he has no way of inheriting the title. After Earl Calis's death, he I will be driven by my brother to a remote village to become a small lord."
"Ha ha--"
"In order not to be driven away by his brother, he had no choice but to please the countess, who has been widowed for many years, in order to inherit the title and property of the countess."
"By the way, the Countess is 20 years older than Little Callis!"
"What's the matter, let's talk about it after we get married..." The businessman cut his neck suggestively, "The Calis family has always had the tradition of marrying noble widows—otherwise, you thought the territories of the Calis family How did it come here?"
Lin Qiao was listening.
The Countess was pretty and a rich widow.
Rich, beautiful, widow—anything is enough to make people covet, not to mention the countess has all three, like a delicious cake, no matter who wants to share a piece.
The noble son wanted to marry this lady back home, while the others were businessmen.They had heard that the Countess was going to make a one-of-a-kind dress, so they came here with jewels, slaves, and fine silks, ready to make a good fortune.
Everyone here has their own plans.
Lin Qiao thought of the blood stains in the corridor again, and felt that things were not that simple.
Let's go when the rain stops.
he thinks.
