He was sitting on a bench on the street, smoking a cigarette in a daze.
Huang Xiu'e lay on the ground, curiously playing with the cigarette butts thrown away by Zeus, enjoying it endlessly.
Jiang Lu saw that E'e, whom he regarded as the apple of his eye, was being taken care of by Zeus like this, and was a little angry for a moment: "Is this how you take care of my cat?"
Hearing the sound, Zeus came back from his distracted state: "Thank God, you finally came out. Bad news, your cat is sick."
"What's wrong with her?" Jiang Lu picked up Huang Xiu'e nervously and began to check her spirit and state.
"I went to a pet store and asked the dealer for a calico female cat. I wanted to give it some pleasure. This is the best cat, but guess what? She wasn't interested at all!"
Zeus looked at Huang Xiu'e with pity: "Poor child."
Jiang Lu put Huang Xiu'e on the ground expressionlessly: "Are you sick?"
"No, it's not that I'm sick, it's your cat that's sick." Zeus thought that Jiang Lu didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, and explained: "As your son, my godson, it can be reopened as it is now." ”
"She's a female cat too!"
"I thought it hid it." Zeus suddenly realized, and said seriously: "Since she is my goddaughter, I can't let those dirty things touch her."
"That's no problem." Jiang Lu also nodded.
The two sat down and smoked cigarettes together.
Huang Xiu'e lay on the ground, curiously playing with the cigarette butts thrown away by Jiang Lu and Zeus, enjoying it endlessly.
It wasn't until Castalia had cleaned up everything on her body in the Elk Castle, took a shower, and was about to go to the temple to see if Jiang Lu could communicate with the Elk Goddess that Jiang Lu remembered what he was going to do.
"Why are you still here?" Castalia was a little surprised: "I thought you had gone long ago."
"Of course I'm waiting for you." Jiang Lu stood up and smiled awkwardly but politely.
"Oh, you are so considerate." Castalia held Jiang Lu's arm.
The two started walking towards the temple.
"Fuck! She can't even walk!" Zeus cheered on the bench.
Then he turned his head and saw Huang Xiu'e looking at him, and immediately changed his words: "Don't imitate what your godfather said just now, it's not ladylike."
At this time, Jiang Lu, who had already walked some distance, turned around and shouted: "Why are you sitting there stupidly?"
Zeus was stunned and pointed at himself: "Should I go too?"
"nonsense!"
Zeus nodded and looked at the girl who was practicing dancing on the second floor of the castle that he had been looking at when he was in a daze.
"Although I don't know who you are, thank you for bringing me a short happy time."
Then he picked up Huang Xiu'e and followed quickly.
Soon, the two came to the Elk Temple again.
This time they did not stay inside the temple, but led by Castalia to the back garden.
"You guys wait here for a moment while I find some people who can help build the magic circle."
After telling the two of them not to run around, Castalia turned around and entered the temple.
Jiang Lu observed the environment in the backyard.
This place is more like a large arena than a back garden.
There are no flowerbeds and trees, no grassy pools, just various jagged rocks with no apparent purpose, and rough mud and sand.
It cannot be said that it has nothing to do with the garden, but it can also be said that it has nothing to do with it.
"This is the place where the Elk God Cult usually holds sacrifices and ceremonies."
Seeing Jiang Lu's confusion, Zeus acted as an explanation:
"Although it's called the Back Garden, that's just the name. It can be used as an arena that can accommodate tens of thousands of people. In addition to sacrifices and ceremonies, some sports games or large-scale activities will be held at this venue."
"So communicating with the Elk Goddess is actually a sacrificial ritual, right?"
"I do not know."
"Aren't you a priest? You don't even know about such things?"
"How could I come to a place like this if it weren't for you?" Zeus shrugged, with disdain on his face: "I am usually the person this kind of sacrifice wants to communicate with. I don't know how it works. It's normal, right?"
"It does make some sense."
Jiang Lu nodded, and then asked curiously: "But speaking of it, what does it feel like to be sacrificed?"
"Huh? Aren't you also the main god? Have you never been sacrificed? Are you kidding me?" Zeus was a little unbelievable at first, but suddenly thought of something and said with relief: "Oh, by the way, you have lost your memory, no It’s normal to remember.”
But Jiang Lu said calmly: "It's not entirely because of this. I remember that someone tried to communicate with me, but they always paid tribute to me and cursed others. I can only say that I have never experienced a better sacrifice."
"Then did you respond?"
"What a stupid response." Jiang Lu shook his head: "Three melons and two jujubes just want me to be a thug. How is it possible? I usually don't pay attention to such shady people. At most, I just play with them and lie to them. Go do something dangerous for me to have fun.”
"and then?"
"Then I was regarded as an evil god."
"This is such an injustice."
"It's okay. Get used to it. Geniuses are always not understood by others."
The two were getting further and further apart, and Castalia had already returned to the back garden with a few priests.
"Wait a moment, it will take some time to build the magic circle." She said to Jiang Lu.
During this period, she glanced at Zeus who was holding Huang Xiu'e, and wanted to drive him away, but because Jiang Lu had brought him, she couldn't say anything.
Not long after, the magic circle filled with dense runes was completed. The priest told Jiang Lu that as long as he stood in the magic circle and used his divine power potential as the fuel to drive the magic circle, he could send signals to unknown places.
Jiang Lu has always been cautious when it comes to unknown environments that require personal experience.
He first used the skill [Insight] to observe the magic circle.
[Magic array containing mysterious power]
[There is no negative energy]
【No harm to human body, no risk】
He relaxed and prepared to go in.
But Zeus stopped him.
"This is it!" He looked at the high priest who led the entire drawing operation with a shocked expression, and said with emotion: "What an exquisite design..."
The high priest smiled slightly when he heard this: "I didn't expect you to see it. Indeed, this magic circle is different from ordinary calling magic. With our improvements, even the unknown places farthest away from us can be covered."
"Sure enough." Zeus nodded.
"Didn't you say you didn't understand just now? Can you understand it now?" Jiang Lu asked softly in surprise.
"I can't understand." Zeus looked solemn: "But this will show that my vision is not simple."
"Pure fraud, right?"
Jiang Lu shook his head speechlessly, and then entered the magic circle.
"Be prepared." Castalia reminded: "After a while, your consciousness will be covered by the protection of the magic circle and reach unknown places. You may see many strange creatures or worlds. You just need to find the one you If you feel the most favorable and closest being, just try to get close to Him. The Elk Goddess will guide you!
In addition, the magic circle lasts for 36 hours. You don't have to worry about how to come back. It will automatically bring you back when the time is up. "
"it is good."
Jiang Lu closed his eyes and activated the magic circle.
In an instant, the scene in front of Jiang Lu turned into a completely dark space.
Various strange objects outlined by white lines gradually passed before his eyes like meteors.
The first is the Elk Temple.
He passed directly through this complex mass of lines and entered the street.
People walked by Jiang Lu or directly passed him. After getting close to a certain distance, Jiang Lu could clearly hear what they were thinking and feel their emotions. Whether they were good or bad thoughts, they all surged in one after another. Entering Jiang Lu's mind, the voices from countless people rushed into his head as if they wanted to destroy his sanity.
Fortunately, Jiang Lu has always been a person who insists on himself. Even if he shouts and screams in his ears, he always goes in one ear and out the other, so even the voice of the entire Hybril is not enough to shake him. Even a little bit.
And this situation did not last long. After a while, his perspective began to gradually increase, and soon his field of vision could encompass the entire Hybril.
Jiang Lu felt like he had become a god, an omnipotent god who could hear everyone's voices.
This familiar yet unfamiliar feeling made him want to stop.
He even had the illusion that if he wanted to, he could control the fate of the entire Hybril.
But his perspective continues to climb.
After a while, even the huge and vast Hybril became a small dot in his field of vision.
Jiang Lu began to look up.
He was horrified to find that he had arrived in an area full of strange lines without knowing when.
If in Hyberil everything was complete and regular, then here everything is twisted and disordered.
Not only are various weird-shaped objects colliding with each other, but you can even see people or creatures whose lines change at any time, moving strangely.
This strange space had no direction and no light. Even the atmosphere that was invisibly exerted on Jiang Lu seemed to have no trace of life.
There was only silence and despair.
Not knowing where to explore, Jiang Lu could only follow what Castalia said and try his best to extend his consciousness as far and wide as possible.
But he soon realized something was wrong.
Unlike the people of Hybril who had no response to his consciousness, the creatures in these unknown lands seemed to be able to feel his presence.
For example, the two monsters in front of Jiang Lu were outlined by lines. They looked like oval disks, but they had several pairs of appendages and tentacles. Before they got close, Jiang Lu felt that they were looking at him, and he felt a sense of disgust from his body...
......
An unknown place, a certain Zerg colony.
The newly married cockroach couple is spending their wedding night in the bridal chamber.
"Honey, I feel like someone is looking at me..." The shy cockroach wife suddenly felt a chill and said timidly to her cockroach husband.
