"I hope you didn't lie to me, Ahes. You should be taking me to find a restaurant now, right?" On the way, the Lord of Gluttony asked.
"Why, do I need to lie to you?"
"You've been here a few times, haven't you?"
Ahes stopped and looked at the Lord of Gluttony.
"Look around here." Ahes opened his arms. "It's all black. There are no iconic buildings at all. Even the trees are all the same pure black. It's hard for me, a foreigner, to not get lost!"
"In that case, why don't you just ask the Lord of Greed?"
"As a companion, shouldn't you know her better than I do? She just knows all the knowledge in this world, but she is not omniscient and omnipotent. She can't do it just by asking her to show the way anywhere."
"Haha, is that so? I thought that guy could answer anything as long as it was a question."
While he was talking, Ahes heard a strange knocking sound and the footsteps of many people. Most importantly, Ahes heard the poem praising death that the man recited at that time.
The sound got closer and closer, and Ahes quickly hid in the grass nearby.
Soon, Ahes saw a group of people approaching, and the man leading them was the guy who was reciting death poems at that time.
The group of people walked towards the deep mountains and soon disappeared.
"What did they do?" Ahes watched them leave and walk out of the grass. "Do they believe in some kind of Lord of Death?"
"No, that's absolutely impossible." Gluttony said with certainty, "The Lord of Death is the first batch of God Lords to die, and based on his performance, it is absolutely impossible for him to have any followers."
"Hey, why..."
"Let the troublesome explanation part be left to Greedy. Now take me to find something to eat." Gluttony urged.
Ahes nodded and took out the Book of Noble Phantasms.
"Please give me a compass that can point the way." Ahs thought to himself.
Unfortunately, there seems to be no such thing in the Book of Noble Phantasms.
"Tch, damn it." There was no other way. Ahes could only rely on his feeling and walked down the road that the pedestrian had just come from.
After walking for a long time, Ahes finally saw a bit of light and hurriedly ran over. However, Ahes found a girl wearing a black robe holding an oil lamp and a box in her hands.
Seeing Ahes, she was obviously startled and took a step back.
"Um, um, how can I get back to the city?" After hesitating, Ahes asked.
"In the city, just go straight along this road." She thought for a while and said.
Just as Ahs was about to thank her, the Lord of Gluttony suddenly came up to the girl and sniffed her.
Although the girl couldn't see it, Ahes still felt nauseous.
"Um, what's wrong with you? You have a strange expression." She didn't know yet that a toad and catfish monster was sniffing right next to her ear, and of course she couldn't understand Ahes's expression.
"No, I'm fine. I feel a little unwell. Well, I'll leave first." As he said that, Ahes quickly passed by the girl. The Lord of Gluttony also stopped his disgusting behavior and followed Ahes.
Si left.
"What were you doing just now? In our area, this kind of behavior is called a fool, do you understand?" After losing sight of the girl, Ahes looked at the Lord of Gluttony and said.
"Haha, she smells of contract and blood, and she can't control it." The Lord of Gluttony chuckled and said, "The smell of the contract is a bit familiar, it seems to be some kind of equivalent exchange...
..."
"Ah, we finally came out." Ahes ignored Gluttony's thoughts and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the street.
Since it was already very late, Ahes searched for a long time but could not find a restaurant.
"Go back, I'm almost exhausted." Ahes looked at Gluttony and complained.
Gluttony did not speak, but sniffed the air again like a dog.
"It smells like blood."
"ha?"
"I'm already very hungry, so raw meat is not unacceptable. Come with me." Gluttony said, running in one direction on both hands and feet, and Ahs quickly chased after him.
After running for a long time, Gluttony arrived in front of a house.
"This is obviously someone's home," Ahs said.
"The smell and freshness of the blood clearly indicate that they were just killed. If you are worried, just wait for me here." With that said, Gluttony went straight through the wall of the house and entered the room.
After waiting for a while, Gluttony opened the door of the room directly.
"How did you..."
"Come in and take a look, I think you'll be very interested."
Hearing this, Ahes was a little confused. After entering the room, Ahes's pupils shrank slightly.
There were two corpses in the room. A big hole was opened in the chest of the corpse. The heart was obviously gouged out, as were the eyeballs.
"That's disgusting," Ahs said, exiting the room.
"This way of death is very interesting. It's heartbreaking. If nothing else, the reason why the person did this is because he wanted to sacrifice." Gluttony said, looking at the two corpses.
"Sacrifice? Sacrifice to whom?"
"Lord of Pretence Icarus, you may be curious why I said her name." Gluttony looked at Ahs and said, "Because she is not a god at all, nor is she a devil. The Lord of Pretence is
The name was actually given to her by greed, and it spread after that."
"Not the Lord of God, nor the Devil? In that case, why do you still call her the Lord of Pretence."
"Like her name, all her powers are false. All her current sources of power are the Lord of Deception and the Lord of Rebirth, but she has not signed a contract with them. How did she get the power?
I don’t know.” Gluttony said, “The Ikaros guy then set up his own memorial arch, and used the power of the Lord of Deception to brainwash her followers, asking them to dig out the hearts and eyes of their loved ones and sacrifice them to themselves. The specific reason is because
I don’t know anything.”
"So, how many years has she been doing this?"
"Soon, this kind of behavior will make some local gods or demons angry, so she often stops for a while or continues to do it in another place. It seems that she has come to this shabby place of Ekhadun now."
