"From the gods?"

Hearing this, Roland's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of vigilance.

If it had anything to do with the gods, then he had to be careful, after all, those guys were just not much better than demons.

"Well, yes, ever since Pesso returned from that place, the will of the gods has come to my ears...... He said to bring Baron Roland to him, and that he had something to ask you personally. ”

Duke Knox nodded, stared at Roland with a strange gaze, and said softly, "So...... May I ask Baron Roland if he wants to meet the gods? ”

Faced with Duke Knox's inquiry, Roland hesitated, and he did not answer immediately.

At first, Roland thought it was just Duke Knox looking for him.

But I never expected that it would be ...... who was looking for him The Knox family worships that god behind their backs, and it's a bit dangerous to be able to do so without knowing the true intentions of the other party.

"Duke Knox, can you tell me what the matter is that Lord God looking for me?"

Roland looked up at Pesso and Duke Knox, and said in a deep voice.

In this case, it is best to figure out what the other party wants to do first.

But Duke Knox's next answer made his brow furrow again

"Hehehe, I'm sorry...... Baron Roland, it didn't reveal any more information to me. ”

"Really? All right...... If I accede to your request, Duke Knox, will I be paid...... For example, some of the more precious materials. ”

Roland groaned, but finally decided to take the risk and try to meet the god.

It's just that his decision is to "help" Duke Knox, so he must be duly paid. If the other party is unwilling to pay, then Roland will have to look elsewhere for information about the gods, after all, no one wants to work in vain.

In an instant, the entire hall fell silent.

Duke Knox squinted at the ceiling, as if considering Roland's condition.

"Baron Roland, your request seems too much, to be able to meet with the gods...... That should be your pleasure. ”

But before Duke Knox could speak, Pesso, the little black-haired boy beside him, made a dissatisfied voice.

Following the voice, I saw Pesso waiting for him with an angry face, like a child who had been robbed of candy.

"No, no, no, I'm just helping you...... I don't have to go to see the god, but you have to do what it has given you. So...... Now the choice is mine. ”

Roland didn't pay much attention to this, just said lightly, and then looked at Duke Knox.

The only one who could really answer was the old man.

"What a difficult condition...... Baron Roland...... All right! If we have the information you need, we will lend it to you afterwards. ”

Time passed, and the hall was still in a dead silence.

It was a long time before Duke Knox refocused his gaze on Roland, nodded, and agreed to Roland's request.

Hearing this, a trace of excitement immediately surged in Roland's heart.

Now that I have received Knox's promise, I can basically confirm that I can check the information of those gods, and then I just need to ensure that I will not be hurt in the meeting with the gods.

"Father! How can an outsider be allowed to enter there? ”

In an instant, Pesso's expression also became anxious.

Pesso...... Take Baron Roland to that place now. ”

But Duke Knox didn't mean to change at all, waved his hand, and said indifferently.

"Yes...... Father's ...... Baron Roland, please come with me. ”

At Duke Knox's repeated insistence, Pesso finally had no choice but to compromise on this.

I saw him come to Roland with a gloomy face, drop a sentence lightly, and then slowly walk to the other exit of the reception hall.

"Goodbye, Duke Knox."

Seeing this, Roland smiled slightly, and hurriedly followed the footsteps of the little black-haired boy Pesso.

As the two of them left, Duke Knox was the only one sitting in the reception hall, exuding a strange aura.

"Alas...... We are messengers of the gods...... Or a slave to the gods? ”

Suddenly, the gray-haired old man raised his head, looked at the ceiling and let out a helpless sigh.

……………………

More than ten minutes later, Roland was following Pesso's footsteps, slowly walking through a passage that led to nowhere.

It can be clearly seen that a large number of divine patterns are carved on both sides of the passage, exuding a burst of holy atmosphere, which makes people's anxious hearts calm down.

It's just that Roland didn't pay attention to these things, because his eyes were always on Pesso.

It wasn't that he had any thoughts about the brunette Shota, but that he was a little curious about the information he had heard in the hall earlier.

For example, Duke Knox should be seventy or eighty years old now.

His five sons were all about forty or fifty years old, but Pesso called Duke Knox his father...... That's weird, isn't it?

According to the age between them, Knox can be Peso's grandfather.

Could it be that this little guy was adopted?

Just as Roland kept guessing the other party's secret, the black-haired little man slowly lowered his steps.

"Baron Roland, are you sure you want to meet the gods?"

Suddenly, Pesso, who was walking in front, glanced back at him and said something strange.

"Isn't that why you Knox invited me over?"

Roland replied lightly, not taking Pesso's words to heart.

"Uh-huh............"

For some reason, Pesso just wanted to say something, but swallowed back the words that he almost spoke.

Roland looked at the little black-haired boy in front of him, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

What exactly is he trying to reveal? How does it feel weird......

"It's already here, enter the room, and the gods are waiting for you inside."

Soon, the black-haired boy Pesso led Roland to a door, stopped, and pointed to the other side of the door.

That little room?

Roland was startled, and hurriedly looked in the direction that Pesso was pointing.

On the other side of the door was a courtyard filled with weeds, surrounded on all sides by walls, which looked empty. Only a small wooden house was built in the middle, and the whole revealed an indescribable strange atmosphere.

But what made Roland feel most strange was that this courtyard was actually built in the middle of the Knox family's mansion.

"Baron Roland, you should head to that cabin now!"

"Well, I see...... Mr. Pesso ......"

At Pesso's repeated urging, Roland immediately came to his senses, and slowly walked up the stone steps in the courtyard towards the small cabin in the center.

The sound of Roland's own footsteps constantly echoed in his ears, and at the same time brought a sense of loneliness.

Damn, what's in there?

To know...... It's not like a god

As he got closer to the cabin room, the more obvious the feeling in Roland's mind became.

The breath he felt was not like the breath of a real god, but rather as if something had rotted, and it looked very disgusting.

Merely...... Roland didn't feel any killing intent inside.

This is also the reason why he will continue to move forward, if it is a place full of danger and murderous intent, Roland would rather give up this opportunity to obtain information about the gods.

"Whew, whatever it's in...... Let's hope there is no danger. ”

In a few moments, he came to the door of the cabin, took a deep breath, and put his palm on the doorknob.

With a click, with the push of Roland's palm, the wooden door had been slowly opened.

When the wooden door is opened, the first thing that catches your eye is an endless darkness. This is no ordinary darkness, even if the light from the outside shines in, it will still be swallowed up by the darkness and disappear completely.

"Human, come in, I have no ill will...... Just wanted to talk to you. ”

Just as Roland hesitated to step into the eerie darkness, a gentle voice rang in his head.

The moment he heard this voice, Roland felt as if his hands and feet were out of control, and he took two steps forward, stepping into the dead darkness.

However, as soon as he entered the cabin, there was a clang, and the wooden door immediately locked itself as if it had been manipulated.

The whole courtyard was quiet again, as if Roland had never appeared.

"Alas......"

When the wooden door was closed, Pesso sighed and turned back the way he came, not waiting for Roland to come out.

At the same time, inside that cabin.

"Hey, Lord Spirit, didn't you come to me for a conversation? Why doesn't it appear now? ”

Roland's eyes were full of vigilance as he looked at the darkness around him and said slowly.

This ghost place was much stranger than he had imagined, and even after lighting the lantern of Morfez, it could not dispel the darkness around him.

"You hold the power of Morfis......"

But the god did not answer his words directly, but kept repeating the name Morfis as if muttering.

For such a situation, Roland couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, could this guy have some enmity with Morfeth?

If this is the case, then he who uses the Morfis lantern must be implicated.

Just when Roland was restless, the voice of the "gods" sounded again: "Human, do you want to truly master the power of the gods?" ”

As soon as the words fell, before Roland could answer, a message popped up in front of his eyes:

[Ding, trigger the quest "Trade with the Gods", do you accept it? ] 】
