Looking at the rusty iron door that opened without wind, Thor felt that he had encountered more strangeness in this day than in his life.

"Be careful, you're walking into its rules. Just as Thor was about to take a step, a voice suddenly sounded.

The voice sounded abruptly, as if it was right in front of him. Although slightly hoarse, the owner of the voice was clearly a maiden or shiitake mushroom, at least it sounded, and she spoke the language of mainland Salvinia.

"Who are you?" Thor stopped suspiciously, turning his head to search the surroundings, but saw no one.

"A passerby. The voice paused for a moment before it sounded again, as if the pause was to figure out what to answer.

What kind of passer-by?This style of speech seems to be that of the Great Demon King, isn't it?Thor was a little speechless.

"You just said 'it' rules, so who or what is it, and what rules do rules refer to?" Thor thought for a moment, since the voice seemed to know something, he still had to ask some important questions now.

"I can't say a word or two, but in short, you remember, don't break the rules, it's strong in its own rules. The voice replied quickly, and his tone seemed to be a little nervous, which made Thor think that 'she' might really be a very weak passerby.

"You told me to follow the rules, at least tell me what the rules were, right?" Thor asked, grasping the point.

"I don't know, I'm groping for myself, someone is coming to pick you up, I'll go first. The voice panicked away.

"......" groping for yourself? Thor was a little speechless.

"You're actually the guy who flashed around in town, aren't you?" Thor asked, looking around, but no answer.

Looking up at the iron door in front of him again, an old gentleman who looked like a butler was walking into his dark vision and walking towards him.

For the unknown shiitake mushrooms that fled in a panic, Thor was actually a little suspicious.

Although she took the initiative to remind herself, it was not necessarily because of any kindness.

In many ways to lure enemies, it is also possible for the enemy to approach you while you don't know anything. It is not impossible to make a gesture of 'I am my own person with you', so as to confuse you with words or actions and blur your judgment.

However, he suddenly heard the voice of an unknown shiitake mushroom, which made Thor, who had been walking in dead silence and weirdness for a day, feel like he had suddenly seen the light of redemption in the desolation of the land, and inexplicably activated the power of his Great Demon King.

Let's not talk about the truth or falsehood of this hint, assuming that it is true, Saul feels that the word 'it' in Shiitake mushroom's hint is used very subtly, and it has been used twice, which does not seem to be some kind of slip of the tongue. Since it is 'it', it is clearly out of the realm of human beings.

And the mushroom monster seemed to know the danger, but it only reminded itself, and did not tell itself to escape.

Then there are two possibilities, one is that she is lying to herself, or hiding something, and the other is that she can't run away at all.

As for the word rule, it is actually very broad and can be extended to a myriad of different interpretations in different contexts.

Just like Elton, the old mayor of the third order of the original Grey Curtain Town.

In a way, he was the rule of Grey Curtain at the time, or rather he was the one who made the rules.

The so-called rules here have many aspects, if they have to be explained in general. The equivalent of Grey Curtain in the old Elton's town, he dictates how the people of that land should and can only live.

However, this kind of rule is based on the framework of human society, which is more like a local rule and has certain particularities. If you are separated from the human race, or from the territory of Grey Curtain Town, the rule will be worthless.

Large-scale universal rules Thor has actually come into contact with, like the rules of the gods mentioned in some ancient books.

It is nothing more than the trick of the gods who love the world and the gods who maintain world peace.

The books say that the gods made the rules and kept the world running.

At the same time, they themselves also represent fairness, justice, and so on, and so on. And the gods will make subtle adjustments to the world by listening to the suffering of the world, so as to achieve and maintain some kind of balance.

This is the most part of Saul, or the fundamental reason why he doesn't believe in God.

If the gods really maintained any world peace, the continent would not be what it is now.

In short, in Saul's opinion, only people who are not strong enough in their hearts will believe in those things. Because in the face of the suffering and changing world, their fragile ability to bear determines that their spiritual world will not be able to survive if they do not rely on something.

But did the gods make them strong? No, if they didn't hold the divine power in their hands, they would often be the first to die when the big upheaval came. Because the gods taught them a bunch of bullshit, but they didn't teach them how to live.

Therefore, there are often people in this world who live like nails and chew iron, and people who live like worms.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with anyone, it is nothing more than their own choice.

Staggered for a lifetime, confused and self-aware.

The reason why the rules of the gods are universal is because it is the main means by which they manage their faith, trying to expand the area of the continent. As for the specifics of the rules, Thor had forgotten the oracle in time when he was still in the monastery.

If the world has no rules, it will be chaotic, but if the world is without gods, it will be destroyed.

In Saul's view, it was really a question of whether there was a world or a god first, or who created whom.

"Distinguished guest, welcome. The spirited old butler interrupted Thor's divergent thinking,

Thor glanced up and saw the old gentleman dressed in a crisp black gown, with a solemn hat off revealing the slightly gray hair on his head. Thor hurriedly pressed his chest and bent down to return the salute.

The word 'guest' in the old butler's words attracted Thor's attention.

Maybe this is my new identity in the unknown rules.

Then, at the invitation of the old butler, Thor followed the other party into the castle manor, and the iron door behind him closed without wind.

It was pitch black as far as the eye could see, and some gray and dry vines crawled all over the castle walls, which at first glance looked like cracks in time.

Facing the castle-like building, Thor could smell the smell of desolation wafting in the wind, which seemed to be mixed with some rust, or was it blood?

When it comes to the improvement of the sense of smell, this is obviously the gain that comes with the promotion. In addition to the increase in strength and speed of this promotion to the fifth order, Thor felt that his spiritual power was a little stronger, and his five senses had also been enhanced to a certain extent.

Just as Thor walked and stared down at the masonry on the ground, trying in vain to find more traces of time or suspicions.

When you look up again, the world is different. The whole castle suddenly burst into light, with bright yellow lights shining through every window, and the courtyard was painted with green grass and flowers. It was as if the castle had been like this for a long time.

In front of Thor, in addition to the old butler who led the way, male and female servants dressed in gorgeous servant costumes lined up on both sides of the road, and they all bent down and bowed their hands to welcome. The barren road with weeds under your feet is now very clean and the red carpet is spreading.

Stepping on the red carpet, Thor carefully felt the real and unreal softness coming from his feet, could the truth be rotten leaves? It's not bad, I hope it's not some unknown flesh and blood, so as not to imagine disgusting.

In fact, as soon as I stepped into the manor, I found that after the instantaneous change, the space seemed to be invisibly enlarged in an instant, and the main passage leading to the main hall became wider and more gorgeous, but it was just ...... Is it really okay for you to fool me like this in front of me?

Forget it, Thor thought about it, and silently put away his IQ in his heart.

It was as if the whole world was returning to the age of light in an instant, and you could even look up and see the starry night.

Thor looked up at the starry sky with some greed and emotion, and had to admit that this 'it' was really powerful, at least the trick that came from his hand to his face still became quite beautiful, is this the power of its rules?

Walking along the red carpet aisle into the castle's hall, it is not to mention that it is wide and tall, and the atmosphere is bright.

"The journey is dusty, and guests are invited to dine. The old butler led Thor directly to the side hall of the castle, a table longer than the length of his own dining table, and invited Thor to sit down on the last seat.

Looks like this should be a single choice.

Since it's a single choice, let's go with the flow, Thor naturally won't force a request for something like I want to eat lizard eggs.

The maids on both sides stepped forward one after another, tied white napkins for Thor, poured ruddy wine, and began to serve all kinds of dishes in an endless stream.

Vegetable salad, butter meat rolls, braised veal, fish meatballs, seafood platter, sour celery soup, mutton milk custard, .......

Looking at the table full of rich dishes, Saul, who is a wild road chef, was a little emotional, many of which he didn't know. Thor felt that his knowledge was still a little shallow after all, so he could only silently put on the countryman's hat in his heart.

Although I don't know what exactly is piled up on those plates, I have to admit that even if it is fake, it is very fake.

It's just that this table, I'm afraid it's a little rich, right?

There was silence for a moment, and the old butlers and servants around him were waiting for his meal, and Thor felt a little bitter in his heart.

His idea is very simple, since he doesn't know the specific rules, it's good to go with the flow when he encounters specific things.

That's right, but just like the current situation, who knows if it's part of the rules, what will happen if you force yourself to leave the table or not eat? Thinking of the unknown mushroom repeatedly stressing that you must not break the rules, Thor didn't dare to try it after all.

So Thor picked up his knife and fork, and ate decently with admiration on his face, but in fact he only dared to eat a little bit of everything.

On the one hand, eating less and tasting more is also considered aristocratic dining etiquette, and on the other hand, it is because Thor really does not dare to eat more.

If some leaf carrion maggots are not bad, and if you are optimistic, it is also meat nutrition, but if you don't know where to pick up some poisonous mushrooms, it will be very sad that you are inexplicably killed.
