Martin was crouching in the doorway of the Gnatcat's dilapidated cabin, and he had chased off three waves of thugs so far.

It's also strange to say that since he was "stabbed" by Mu Yan, his old problem of not fainting blood has been cured, and I don't know if it's because he has seen too many dead people, the whole person has an indescribable temperament, just like ...... The group of teasing proprietresses in the tavern were like muscle sticks, although not as exaggerated as them, but it was enough for him to scare these gangsters.

And he suddenly felt that he was accustomed to listening to Xia Mu's speech, and the group of guys who had mixed with him before were simply running with a train full of mouths, as if there was nothing in his stomach, and he was far from being able to compare with Mr. Xia Mu, so that he hated staying with them more and more.

So in line with his trust in Mu Yan, he has been staying here for the past few days. Anyway, so many people have died, and the person in charge of the Red Hat Chamber of Commerce has already packed up and run away, and he is also gloriously unemployed, so it is better to stay here and wait for a miracle to happen.

He firmly believed that the Divine Favor would not die, not to mention that he had not even seen a corpse.

Stunned, a burst of conversation came.

"Looks like this is ......"

"You don't even know your own home?"

“…… I'm ashamed to say that my brain is using it to remember the way. ”

"You're deliberately burying me?"

"Where, Where, ......"

Mr. Shamu!? Martin jumped up from the ground with a spirit.

"Mr. Shamu!?" He shouted excitedly.

"Martin?"

"You're not dead!!"

"So are you."

Mu Yan opened his arms with a smile, and then was pushed back a few steps by Martin's strong embrace, almost sitting on the ground.

"By the way, how did you survive? Did you stab yourself too? ”

"No, I fainted and passed out."

“…… Envy. Mu Yan couldn't cry or laugh.

"This is ......," Martin noticed that Mu Yan was followed by a woman.

He swore that he had never seen such a beautiful woman, and that even the two moons in the sky were a little dim in front of her. The beauty of the other party made him seem to forget to breathe, and he couldn't say a word.

"This is my companion, if only you could call her Susie."

"Hello." Surya smiled and held out her hand.

"You...... Hello, Susie...... Miss Susie! ”

Martin subconsciously stretched out his hand, then retracted violently as if he remembered something, rubbed it vigorously on his body, and then shook hands with Surya.

Mu Yan looked at his home with emotion, and his previous memories seemed to have come back.

"Let's go inside."

He followed his memory and pulled out a rusty iron key from the corner of the windowsill and opened the door.

There was a musty and rotten smell in my face, like expired and spoiled food mixed with damp and moldy wood.

Shocked, the necromancer's lab is cleaner than here. Mu Yan really can't complain, this house is not inhabited by people at all.

"I still have a spare room in my house, why don't you two come to my house?"

Hearing Martin's words, Mu Yan couldn't wait to hug him and kiss him.

"Thank you so much!"

"No, no, no, it's me who thanks Mr. Xia Mu for saving me."

------------------

Martin was an only child, and his father was a pastor in the town, and because he had to help with official business, he mostly lived in the mayor's house, or the lord's house, and his mother, who was a laundry worker, was usually the only one in the family.

Because of their good income, their house is the second largest in town, but even then, it only has three bedrooms.

And he obviously misunderstood the relationship between the two, and deliberately cleaned up the big room where his parents lived......

However, Sulia didn't have any unusual reaction to this, and Mu Yan didn't know whether to be happy or frustrated. He sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, and the occasional confusion and hesitation became more and more like a little white face who had been raised.

Taking advantage of Surya's time to take a bath, he walked around the house.

This room is large, but not much spacious, because of the extra bookshelf. Mu Yan stood in front of the bookshelf, and in a trance he felt like he was back in the days when he was a librarian.

At that time, he lived in Morrowind's apartment, which was not large, but there was also a bookshelf, but because he was shy in his pocket, the bookshelf was filled with hand-copied books, uniformly written in black and white, wrapped in parchment. Unlike the ones in front of me, the binding is exquisite, the care is careful, and some of the pages are yellowed and still no threads fall off.

It is evident that Martin's father was also a lover of books, and as a clergyman who believed in Kamlosh, he was not so narrow-minded as a missionary, and there were many biographies of the new gods on it.

But it is also said that the old and new gods have not yet torn their faces, and the battle of beliefs has not yet broken out, and believers are not looking at what they see.

In Lokan's mythological system, Mia is the god who created all things, and the planners of the Villefort company have publicly stated that this is borrowed from the myth of the Celestial Empire, "Pangu opens the world".

Legend has it that Mia created the world, and the physical body became everything that made up the world, and the will became the three main gods to maintain the normal order of this world.

Ikali, the Elemental Manipulator, is also the owner of the Web, and just like we need to log in to the Internet to access information, any spellcaster must go through the Web to control the elements.

Kanrosh, the Word of the Word, weaves the fate of all beings, and according to legend, he can travel between the future and the past.

The Soul Shaper Ancestral Dragon Patunax, who split a small half of his flesh and soul to create a second ancestral dragon Alduin, as a result, this second brother seems to have inherited all his negative will, and is bent on eating beans behind his ass, and then is severely injured by the old brother, as if disappearing in Lokan.

The above are the Old Gods who are unable to use the power of faith because of Mia, and all those who believe in them to receive gifts and become gods as a result are the Old Gods, such as Isaur, the Son of Tranquility, Ikali's elemental creation, Gardon, Duke of Ashes, Watson the Eternal, and Ral the Windwhisperer (although two of these four have since defected).

For the story after that, Mu Yan made this analogy in "The Twilight Chronicles".

A hard-working mother worked hard for most of her life, and after buying the family property, she died, and everything she had was inherited by two sons and a daughter. These two sons and one daughter are also competing, and the business is becoming more and more prosperous, with more and more people under their hands, and their incomes are getting higher and higher.

But one day, the three of them suddenly found that the money handed over by the people below was completely different from what their mother had left them, and they couldn't use it at all. In desperation, they redistributed the money to the most capable among the staff, hoping to inspire everyone and call on all employees to work hard to build a better tomorrow for the company.

The elites who got the money said that they were full of energy, so they did work harder, and the company's income increased several times for a while. And then this time too, the increased income was all sent down.

This virtuous cycle was repeated several times, and over time, a few people in the elite had other ideas.

They thought, since it is a few of us who make money, and a few of us who share the money, is there still a need for the group of people above to exist? Why should all the income be given to them and then distributed, isn't that redundant? In other words, you don't want someone to be pointing fingers at you all the time, right?

So they discussed it privately, hit it off, and decided to leave their jobs and go it alone.

Because the old gods (equivalent to the board of directors) have been hidden for a long time and don't know what they are doing, the employees in the company are in contact with those elites all day long, so they take it for granted that they should obey their orders, so on the day they left, a large number of employees also followed.

This is the origin of the new gods and the new gods.

The outbreak of the "resignation event", or the battle of faith, began in the year 777 of the Faith calendar, that is, the first year of dusk. The first thing the new gods led by Duke Garden of Ashes did after "leaving" was to kill back to the original company and find trouble with their former colleagues. So a great battle broke out between Garton and the gods Lal and Isu in the Quiet Lake.

The level of the gods is in the range of 85-90, because the attributes are exponentially inflated, at that time, only level 60 players could not participate at all, and even level 80 NPCs could only wave their flags and shout on the sidelines. So the official only released an extremely shocking CG animation at the end of the first year of dusk, that is, the "Embryonic Era" expansion, to pass this battle aside.

In CG, because of the power of faith, Garton led his powerful believers to defeat the two former friends, and if it weren't for the fact that a bunch of powerful druids were killed in the oblique stab at the critical moment, the final outcome is really hard to say. It was also since that battle that the druids of Ashenvale came out of the mountains.

The impact of this battle on the whole of Lokan was enormous, and many devout believers were suddenly branded as heretics and then burned at the stake to purify without even knowing what was happening. The originally loving husband and wife turned against each other overnight, and the originally harmonious countries suddenly declared war on each other, and for a while, every corner of Lokan broke out in battles between believers.

If it weren't for the chaotic situation that bred the desire to commit crimes, thus bearing fruit full of corpses, how could it lead to the resurrection of the ancient emperor Leorik and let the "will of the dead" reappear in the world?

Although this expansion is only excessive, the purpose is to level up the player and lead to Mount Hogarth, but as officially said, this is a painful but unavoidable stage, and it is intended to arouse people's inner disgust with war, even the war in the game is so harrowing, let alone reality?

It is said that Gabriel Weir, the manager of the Wilford Company, almost won the Nobel Peace Prize that year.

Mu Yan opened the book in his hand, and what caught his eye was such a paragraph.

"What is faith? What are the gods? Our strength comes from our own down-to-earth exercise, and our belief in them is just to soothe the restless mind and yearn for a trace of peace, so why fight for them? Does this violate the principle of equivalent exchange? But to put it another way, if a deity worthy of our faith really exists, how richly will your devout faith be rewarded? When that happens, how will you choose? ”

He didn't need to look at the cover to know that this was "Theory of Faith" written by Mora, Garden's spokesman in the world, this guy is good at demagoguery, and is Garden's most loyal lackey. Injured in an accident and leaving the path of magic, the middle-aged mage regained his strength thanks to the former's blessing and became the first pyromancer - a class that can use fire magic at the cost of a single life, whether it is his own or someone else's.

At the same time, he also founded the Cult of the Alien Fire, which was widely active throughout Lokan during the three years, aiming to stir up strife among the many followers of Ikali, and was a complete militant and psychopath, the standard villain.

Even the Priest of the Word in such a remote place can find this kind of book in his home, which is enough to see the extent of the influence of the Cult of the Alien Fire.

He shook his head and put the book back and began to flip through the next ......

……

When Surya entered the door with a bath towel and wiped her wet hair, she suddenly realized that this was not her room, but unfortunately she realized it a little late, and she only had time to hurriedly pull the bath towel and step in.

However, when she raised her head, she found that the imaginary embarrassing situation had not appeared, Mu Yan was standing in front of the bookshelf holding a book and reading it fascinatedly, completely unaware of her arrival.

The girl breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time a little disappointed.

She lay on the soft bed and placed the giant sword sheath more than a meter long in the middle of the bed.

It should be safe now, she thought.

However, Mu Yan still didn't look back.

Do you want to remind him to turn off the lights? Surya thought, but was instantly frightened by her own terrible thought.

What are you thinking! You're about to lie in the same bed with a man you've known for less than a week! Still urging him to turn off the lights quickly? How shameless!

The girl's face flushed.

But there seems to be a voice in my head that is calmly saying, the body is not afraid of shadows, what are you lacking? Isn't the heavy sword in the middle of the bed enough to show intent? At this time, it makes sense to behave normally.

That's right! Makes sense! Her mind changed again, and she was about to speak, but—

It's big for you! Why behave normally? Sleeping in the same bed normally? At this time, it is normal to be cramped and uneasy, and extremely uncomfortable, right? And obviously I don't adapt to it at all, I have to put on a look of adaptation, who is the weak-hearted?

Seem...... Also makes sense?

The two voices quarreled and couldn't make up her mind, so she had to reluctantly retract her head into the quilt.

"Uh...... Did I affect you? ”

"Huh?"

Sulia poked her head out and saw Mu Yan standing on her side a meter away from the bed, with a little apology on her face.

"Is it a problem with the lights? I found a candlestick and this one can be turned off. ”

Mu Yan smiled and raised the mutton fat candle in his hand, and then extinguished the chandelier on the ceiling.

Looking at his back holding a book in one hand and a candle in the other, slowing down and slowly moving forward for fear of disturbing herself, she couldn't help but be a little moved.

But in this way, it seems that I can't sleep even more, as if ...... Something is bothering you.

She tossed and turned, accidentally touching the heavy sword in the middle of the bed. The girl gritted her teeth and took the sword back, and now her heart was much more relaxed.

So be it! Forgive him for not daring to mess around!
