Chapter 1311: Exploring the Wilderness (Twenty-Six)
At the same time, somewhere in the Sahara Desert.
Albert took a shower in the bathroom of the sandboat, and finally washed away the blood stains and fishy smell all over his body. He breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the shower, only to see the cat-man boy Mutt sitting on the bench with only one pair of pants on, doing some stretching.
The tiger couldn't help but glance at Mutter. It's such a soft body, this guy's arms and legs are like no bones, and his limbs can be slightly bent while stretching. The whip-like limbs were simply beyond the softening techniques of ordinary cats, making the tiger wonder if Mut's arm and leg bones had really been severed into pieces, barely held on by some magical power.
"What are you looking at?" Mutter couldn't help but be wary when he saw Albert staring at him again.
"Doesn't it hurt?" Albert asked in a low voice, "I always think it hurts when you stretch your arms." "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all. The cat-man boy replied coldly, "I have long ago been numb to the pain in my limbs - since the day my limbs were broken and put into [octopus pots]. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring that kind of thing—" "Whatever," the cat-man boy grabbed a bottle of drink from the bench next to him and tossed it to Albert, "Your protein drink, drink it." The tiger grabbed the bottle with one hand, and instantly remembered the strange taste of this strange drink, and couldn't help but stretch his face: "It's this meow again." "You've just finished a vigorous workout, and supplementing with protein is great for strengthening your body. Mutter reminded unemotionally.
"Okay, I'll just drink it. The tiger did not bother to argue with the little butler any more, so he opened the lid of the bottle, pointed it to his mouth, and poured the liquid into his throat.
This time the protein drink seemed to be thicker than before, a bit like phlegm, and there was a faint smell of seafood, in short, it was extremely disgusting. The tiger shivered all over his body, and finally swallowed all the drinks into his stomach. After drinking this, he wished he could find water to rinse his mouth and wash away the disgusting sensation that remained between his teeth.
It's hard to drink, at least it's not poisonous, and it never made Albert have diarrhea and stomachache. They're about to have a game, and Mutter won't at least do anything to hurt Albert.
Tiger wanted to look for his jersey in his sports bag, only to realize that his jersey had been stained with the blood of the Desert Shark (or even a human) during the battle and had been taken to be cleaned. He looked at Mutt a little confused, only to find that Müt was in the same situation as him, sitting on a bench with no clothes to change.
"Where's the replacement jersey?" Albert couldn't help but ask, "Do you want us to wait shirtless like this?" Muth avoided Albert's gaze, apparently not counting in his own mind: "Wait patiently before that." Anyway, there are still dozens of minutes to fly from the destination. The tiger man shivered, gave the cat man a depressed look, looked around, and found a bathrobe that looked fairly clean and put it on. At this moment, Feleos also pushed the door and walked into the bathroom: "Have you washed up, Mr. Albert?" "Well, what's the matter?" "Daddy Sphynx wants to talk to you alone about what happened just now." Feleos had a complicated look on his face: "Please come with me." "Okay. The tiger casually agreed. Regarding the attack of the pirates just now, Albert had long wanted to ask the Sphinx to understand, and the lionman father was willing to take the initiative to confess.
What is it that makes a group of desperate pirates chase the Sphinx's sand ship so wildly? What is it that makes that group of pirates would rather die than stop the Sphinx from playing? This is just a stupid American football game, is it necessary to take it so seriously and fight for their lives?
Moreover, the person named [Seth] is probably the mastermind behind this qiē. Albert had heard it once each from the Sphinx and Philaeos, though they had only slipped it out. Could it be that this Seth and the Sphinx have some deep hatred?
The more you guess, the more you can't guess. Chanel may have said that the Sphinx was a big villain, a boss of the underworld, a careerist who tried to plot a coup d'état. But what is the truth? Albert had a hunch that the things involved were probably deeper and deeper than they seemed.
The boat swayed, and Albert, who was slightly seasick, walked barefoot on the wooden ship's floor, making a screeching sound. He followed Philios through a hallway, down a flight of stairs, and soon found himself in the luxurious cabin where the Sphinx was.
As soon as the door opened, there was a heavy smell of smoke - no, cigars. White mist came out of the open door, as if to set off the mystery of the room, or its owner.
"Let's go inside. Philios glanced at Albert, but he didn't seem to be following in. There seems to be only one Sphinx in the cabin, and after Albert enters, I am afraid that it will be a face-to-face, one-on-one detailed conversation with Sphinx, which makes the tiger a little nervous - Sphinx is not a good man and a woman, and if he is not careful, Albert's plan may be discovered by the other party.
The tiger walked into the slightly darkened room and saw the lion-man father sitting in a large luxurious leather chair. He nodded at the Sphinx, and sat down on the smaller leather chair in front of the large chair, separated only by a table from the Sphinx.
"You're here. The Sphinx seemed to chuckle, though his face was hard to see immediately in the darkness. Daddy Lionman shook the lit cigar in his hand on the ashtray on the table, shaking off some of the ash.
Albert took a natural look at the "ashtray", only to see that it was just a paper cup filled with water. It was very out of tune with the luxurious furnishings of this room, and it was apparently improvised. By the way, the Sphinx just threw the ashtray on the table right here. The ashtray grazed past Mutter's side, running through three desert sharks chasing after Mutter in a row, saving the life of the cat man. Now that I think about it, I just used one iron ashtray to pierce (or even directly smash) three sharks, how terrible is the arm strength of the Sphinx!
Albert was about to speak, but the Sphinx spoke first: "I know you have a lot of questions to ask, but please calm down and let me tell you a story to suppress the shock." "Story?" "Yes, it's just a story, please don't care if it's true." The Sphinx snorted and began to tell his story.
"A long, long time ago, it was a time when the [God] created the world and had to be grateful and take refuge in [God].
The gods created human beings, and the gods also enslaved human beings and used them as a tool.
The gods are few in number and dying.
On the contrary, the number of human beings is increasing day by day.
The gods knew that their time would inevitably come to an end and that the age of humanity would inevitably come. The gods feared that humans would rebel, so they created more races. They are basically a reinforced race based on humans, creating zào.
Some of these races were commanded to rule over the instruments left by the gods and to survive as God's right and left hands, while others were commanded to rule over humanity and prevent riots. Of course, the number of enhanced races is very small, and there is an element of absolute obedience to the gods buried in them. In addition to being slaves, they are loyal dogs of the gods and will faithfully carry out the tasks they have been given.
With the help of these right and left hands, the gods thought that their reign would last long. However, this qiē is in vain.
God's demise did not come from human rebellion, but because their time had come. Every Qiē in this world has their lifespan, and no species can truly live forever. Heavenly principles are like this, maybe even the gods can't disobey them.
However, in the days leading up to their demise, the gods were divided into three factions.
One of them, believing that they should not die here, is doing everything they can to continue their lives. They failed, and they even brought about darkness, an unforgivable calamity that brought ruin;
On the other hand, they believe that they should not continue to be selfish, and should leave their own skills and treasures to their descendants, that is, human beings.
The last faction, on the other hand, is constantly looking for a chance to be resurrected, looking forward to being reborn in the flesh of their descendants tens of thousands of years later.
Among the three factions, the gods of the first faction have been completely consumed by the darkness, and it is estimated that they are all dead;
However, the gods of the second and third factions are constantly fighting, choking each other's throats until they can breathe completely. We don't know who of them survived, how many survived, and how many were waiting for an opportunity to be resurrected.
What we do know is that the second faction, the pro-human one, leaves a lot of hope for a world that should have destroyed Miè early.
Hearing this, Albert couldn't help frowning: "For example, the wall of the world?" "Perhaps." The Sphinx said ambiguously: "But this qiē is not over yet, and [hope] hides [despair] - at this point, let's talk about another matter."
It is said that among those [enhanced races] created by the gods, some have been given the task of [protecting this world]. Of course, they can't do it to protect the world, they are at best guardians, responsible for guarding some kind of [device that guards the world].
And this device is mainly maintained by two gatekeepers. Both of them are [outlaws] who have been endowed with special powers in those strengthened races, and both of them have all the characteristics of that strengthened race, and they are the strongest and most powerful beings in the race.
They are the Origin and the End. They can turn the device that guards the world on and off the device. Together, the two of them guard the device, and at the same time, they guard the balance of the world.
Until a certain day"
