Soon, an underground village appeared in front of Dudian. Each of the houses was built with rocks. They were simple and crude. The gaps were filled with weeds, there were a few barefoot children running on the path. Most of their hair color was flaxen and brown. There were big lamps on the walls of the village, it was like the halo of a light bulb.
Dudian was surprised. He didn’t expect that there would be humans living underground. The strangest thing was that compared to the rough houses on the ground, the lights on the top of their heads were electric, it wasn’t special crystals or firefly pebbles.
“Uncle Priory!”A few children who were playing saw priory coming out of the tunnel. They immediately gathered up and said: “Uncle Priory, did you catch any fish today? Can you take me outside next time?”
“Uncle Priory, who are these brothers and sisters? They are wearing strange clothes!”
“Wow, are these weapons made of divine iron?”
Priory smiled and said in a friendly manner: “These brothers and sisters are from outside. I will take them to see the great god. I will tell you when I come back. You guys go and play.”
“People from outside?”
“Wow! People from outside? !”
The eyes of the children lit up when they heard his words. They curiously looked at Dean and Aisha.
Priory pushed the children away and led Dean forward. Along the way they passed by a few rough houses made of rocks. Some of the houses had dried meat hanging in front of them. Some of them walked out and saw priory, they would greet him with a smile. Some would ask him how his harvest was today. However, they were soon attracted by Dudian and Aisha. When they asked, Priory told them the truth. Many people looked at him.
Some people were curious. Some people lost their smile. They looked at Dudian and Aisha in fear. They leaned against the door as if they were ready to hide back in the houses.
Dean’s heart sank when he saw the mixed expressions of these people. He thought of the words of the desolate general who was stationed outside the tunnel. He guessed that they had met outsiders and something extremely bad had happened here, that was why they reacted like this. However, judging from the behavior of these children and Priore, this kind of thing was most likely a long time ago.
Time would wear away the memories of some people. Even the next generation would forget the hatred of their homeland.
This was the tragedy of human nature. But at the moment, Dudian was lucky. At least from the innocent and curious expressions of the children, it could be seen that they were not afraid of the Outsiders, it was very likely that they did not understand the terrible things that happened to the outsiders.
Dudian roughly noticed that there were about 200 people. It didn’t take long for them to arrive at the center of the village. There was an open mini square of about 200 square meters, dudian was completely stunned when he saw the things in front of the square. His face was filled with disbelief.
He saw a steep ramp that extended from the air to the ground. The ladder was made of all metal. It was dark silver in color. It was extremely introverted and high-end. The top of the ladder was connected to an oval metal ball that was suspended in the air. It looked like a coconut, it could accommodate hundreds of people.
Dudian slowly looked up and found that the oval metal ball was not completely hanging in the air. There were several thick black iron pillars connected to the top of the stone wall.
Priory saw Dudian’s stunned look and smiled, “Mr. Dudian, the great priest is waiting for you. Please follow me. Don’t be too casual when you meet the great priest. She is the greatest person in the world!”
Dudian nodded as he turned around to lead the way. He couldn’t help but use his power to see through his eyes. However he found that the oval metal ball was dark red and he couldn’t see through it, what surprised him was that the scene that he saw was the same as when he looked through Sylvia’s coffin.
The metal ellipsoid seemed to be made of the same material as Sylvia’s coffin!
There were two huge men with strange tattoos standing guard in front of the stairs. Dudian knew that they were desolate generals so he looked at them, his eyes were attracted by a tall statue which was ignored by the square. The statue was more than ten meters tall. Its upper body was human but its lower body was like a ferocious spider.
The half human and half beast body made him think of Sylvia again. Moreover this person was also a woman. Her beauty was suffocating. Dudian thought that she was the most perfect face in the world when he saw her, but when he saw this woman he felt that the two were on par. The beauty of this woman was another kind of temperament. There was a bit of heroic spirit and other kind of charm.
“This is our great Aragami.”Priory turned around and looked at Dudian, he smiled at dudian: “Aragami has sheltered us for hundreds of years. It is reasonable to bow to the Aragami. But you are an outsider. It is not too late to bow to the Aragami after you have seen the great god.”
Dudian retracted his eyes but his heart was in turmoil. There was a statue of the god of war in this small village. From the statue, it seemed that the god of war was half human and half beast. But.., why was the god of war in the wilderness of the Abyss while Sylvia was in the giant wall? Could it be that the people here used to live in the giant wall but later migrated out?
He felt that there were many secrets inside. He retracted his eyes, nodded and continued to move forward.
“Stop.”The two desolate generals by the stairs stopped priore.
One of them coldly said: “Outsiders are not allowed to bring weapons when they meet the god.”
Puley turned to dudian: “Mr Dean, this is the rule. Don’t worry...”
Dudian nodded: “Nothing, I don’t mean any harm.”He took off the cleaver and put it on the ground. Then he took off the blood baron from Aisha’s back and put it together, he went back to the two generals: “I don’t like people touching my weapon. I hope you can help me take care of it.”
The two generals nodded: “Please.”
Dudian and priory walked up the stairs.
Priory stopped in front of the oval metal ball. He bowed to the cabin door: “Master, my benefactor Mr. Dean and Miss Haisha have arrived.”
