Chapter 10: The Gods
At dusk, a figure gradually walked in the empty cemetery.
I walked straight to a new grave in the cemetery and put the flowers I had prepared in my hand.
To tell the truth, Wood didn't even know the name of the flower, but he had a feeling that it was this flower, the tomb in front of him; It felt like the only thing left of the sleeping god.
"Huh?"
Yato's figure appeared out of thin air, and when he saw his surroundings clearly, he was stunned: "What are you doing in the cemetery?" Oh, no, I forgot you're still a creature......"
Although Yato is a nameless god, he has survived for an unknown number of years, and the cemetery is a strange place for both gods and artifacts.
Because they don't have any ancestors to speak of, Yato is a martial god born into the wishes of humans, and artifacts will forget their memories the moment they become artifacts, and only retain knowledge and common sense.
Glancing at the smiling old lady on the tombstone, the last trace of obsession in his heart dissipated, which made Wood couldn't help but shake his head, the old man of the sleeping god is really easy to fool.
"Let's go."
Wood glanced at Yato, who was standing quietly on the side with a restrained expression, and couldn't help but feel a little funny: "Why are you alone, with a sound?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Wood found that Yato was all frozen.
What's wrong??
After a moment of silence, the corners of Wood's mouth hooked: "The accompaniment finally can't stand you anymore and resigns?" ”
"How is that possible!!"
Yato retorted loudly, but the sweat on his forehead betrayed his inner thoughts: "I fired her." ”
"Hey, hey, hey~~~"
"Hey, what kind of consciousness do you have in this laughter, I quit her, definitely not because she has no place to live and her hands are sweating a lot...... Anyway, I fired her. ”
Wood nodded knowingly, and patted Yato on the shoulder with pity.
"It's okay, I understand......"
“…… What do you understand? ”
"I understand the feeling of accompaniment."
“……”
The two left the cemetery, and Yato asked in a low voice, "Who is that old lady?" ”
"I don't know, I'm just helping an old man give a flower to an old lady."
"Huh?"
Yadou was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at Wood carefully, and found that the other party didn't seem to have any sadness or other emotions on his face, and couldn't help pouting: "I really don't see that you still help others with such a lack of morality." ”
"Paid." Wood smiled.
“…… You're special, you also cheat the old man's money. ”
Wood didn't explain, but looked at Yato with a look of extreme disdain.
This thing actually has the face to say that he is?
I don't know which cheap god charges 5 yuan for primary school students to write their homework.
When Yato saw Wood's eyes, he felt a little weak inexplicably, and hurriedly changed the topic: "By the way, I have something to ask you for you." ”
"Talk-free, I'm busy!" Wood replied directly.
This thing is a concentration of trouble, it is because of him that he will be targeted by the resentful woman-like Nora, and Wood is not lying, he will indeed be very busy in the next few days.
The corners of Yedou's mouth twitched: "You at least listen, I still helped you get rid of so many demons, you are not a friend like this, you must know that in the past half a month, I have been a handful of and a handful of pee......"
"Stop."
Wood hurriedly waved his hand: "Who the hell is a handful of and pee with you." ”
"Anyway, I'm protecting you these days, and I'm also helping you introduce you to all kinds of gods for free, if it weren't for my face, which god would meet you."
That's for the sake of money, okay.
Wood pursed his lips and didn't say much, because Yato had really helped him a lot in the past half a month. For some reason, he seems to be a demon signal source in this world, attracting many demons almost every day.
Especially when it comes to fashion, those demons will pounce on Wood like a wild cat that smells fishy.
"Let's talk about it!"
Wood sighed: "Declare in advance, I don't have any money either." ”
Yato's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he directly put his arm around Wood, and said with a chuckle: "How hurtful it is to talk about money, what I want to say is...... Until I find a new artifact, you can use it as an artifact for me for the time being. ”
I knew it!
Wood glanced at Yato angrily: "Actually, talking about money doesn't hurt feelings!" ”
As soon as he ran out of the artifact, he came to ask himself, and Wood couldn't think of anything else besides this, but Wood didn't refuse, after all, if I'm not mistaken, Yato will get a new artifact in a few days.
"It's not impossible to be an artifact for you for the time being, but I won't follow you every day like a sound, and I have something to do in the next two weeks."
Yato was silent for a long time when he heard this, and the expression on his face had become very serious when he looked up: "I advise you to give up, as a living being, you are destined not to become a god, rather than wasting time like this, it is better to enjoy the rest of your time." ”
Enjoy a yarn.
The corners of Wood's mouth twitched, although he knew that Yato meant well, but why did he say this so unpleasantly.
"Huh? Torii? ”
Yato stopped, looking at the hill in front of him, his face full of doubts: "Who came to such a remote place to build a shrine?" ”
The so-called torii gate is a shrine building that resembles a torii and represents the entrance to the realm of the gods, and is used to distinguish between the realm of the gods, where the gods live, and the secular realm, where humans live. It is also intended to remind visitors that stepping into the torii gate means entering the realm of the gods, and that all subsequent behaviors should be treated with special care.
The torii gate mentioned by Yato is clearly newly built and smells of paint, while behind the torii gate is a stone staircase with many construction workers working overnight under the headlights.
"Isn't this another old man who wants to establish a branch?" Yato looked at the hill in front of him with a jealous expression, knowing that this was a mountain he had been eyeing for a long time.
"That's pretty efficient."
Wood nodded in satisfaction and walked towards the mountain.
"Hey, it's rude for you to break in like that." Seeing this, Yato hurriedly went up to stop him, but when Wood walked past the torii, a sudden change occurred, and a burst of golden light lit up from Wood's body without warning.
This golden light came and went quickly, and it dissipated very quickly, almost after Wood completely stepped through the torii gate and entered the realm of the gods.
"How... Is that possible? ”
Yato stared blankly at the gray-haired back, the image of Wood in his eyes had completely changed.
The height has grown to one meter seven, and his black hair has turned gray, like an old man who is about to die, but his face is still immature, but under the vicissitudes of life exuded by his body, it makes it impossible to determine his age.
Dressed in a white robe, it gives people a strange sense of sacredness.
Most importantly......
Yato actually felt it in Wood now, the kind of energy he was most familiar with.
- Divine power!
The body of a god.
