Chapter 232: A Wonderful Change

"What made you have this strange idea?" looked at the orc girl for a long time, but Andre was the first to "lose" the opponent and lose. Naneri has a pair of large, amber, touching eyes, and looking at them makes the children of the abyss who have decided to hide something from her feel inexplicably guilty.

André disguised his weakness by rubbing his cheeks, though he didn't think he was here on a mission to save others. But for the identity of the divine messenger, he had actually accepted it in his heart. To say that the gods of all parties pay attention to themselves purely for pleasure and do not have any expectations for themselves, he himself is the first to disbelieve. The Abyssal Will gave him a new lease of life, as if he wanted to inject some different vitality into the Demon Realm like stagnant water, the Earth Goddess gave him the Divine Seed in the hope that he could make this land more prosperous, and even the Lord of the Underworld replenished the blood pool for Andrari, and set up the first Yellow Spring Temple in the mortal world in Valhalla, the title of Divine Messenger is naturally valid in a sense.

The most crucial question now before Andrei is what exactly came to this conclusion by a seemingly ordinary orc girl.

Nanali looked at the young man in front of her with a puzzled expression, as if the answer to this question was known to everyone but you at all.

"Sir, do you have such a remarkable appearance, is it possible for a mortal to possess?" replied the orc girl as a matter of course.

Andrei didn't have a sense of self-consciousness to think that the little girl's "outstanding appearance" meant that he was already handsome to a certain extent, although he thought that his appearance was indeed outstanding, but he could not find any trace of infatuation and shyness from the three orc women opposite. Obviously, appearance should not be the key criterion they use to identify the messengers of the gods.

Since it has nothing to do with appearance, the so-called "outstanding appearance" should refer to the part of his body that is deliberately ordinary people. So the Son of the Abyss ran his fingers at the hair on his forehead, and asked uncertainly, "Is it really so rare to have black hair and black eyes?"

It is very likely that the natural hair color and eye color are due to the obsession of Andrei's previous life, after all, most of the fragments that make up his soul have such physical characteristics. Dark hair color and eye color are more "strong" dominant genes in that world, and most mixed-race children will inherit such characteristics. Although the common sense of that world does not necessarily apply to this world, the children of the abyss still feel that even if they are rare, black hair and black eyes should not belong to some unique and unique signs. At least the demon women under his command were all black and dark brown hair.

But as soon as the words came out, Andre found an abnormality in the other party's reaction, not only Nanali, but even the women of the same clan and the wolf clan around her who were originally indifferent to the conversation between them showed a very surprised expression. They stared in disbelief, as if the Children of the Abyss, who were in a cage with them, were not normal people at all, but more like a monster...... Or fools!?

An awkward atmosphere hung over the four people in the prisoner car, and the two slightly older orc girls seemed to be even more wary of Andre because of what he had just said. In the end, it was Nanali who forcibly broke free from the dissuasion of the two, and crawled in front of the young man with her hands and feet, her limbs propped up on the saddle of the logs, and the little girl stretched her delicate but black-stained neck and stared at his face only twenty centimeters away from the child of the abyss.

The orc girl slowly stretched out her slender arm and carefully touched Andrei's face, although it was actually very easy to avoid the little girl's touch, but the children of the abyss still wanted to understand what made her think that she was an apostle of the gods, and why the three of them reacted so obviously to what she called "black hair and black eyes".

The little girl's dirty fingers ran through the hair of the children of the abyss, "Your hair is as dark brown as the fertile soil of the field. ”

The slender and weak fingers gently touched the corner of Andre's eye, "Your left eye is a very rare gray, but your right eye is dark green like the bark of a thick tree!"

With that, Nanali put down her little hand and said in a very affirmative tone to the young man in front of her, "With such a unique and mysterious heterochromatic pupil, do you still want to continue to call yourself a mortal!?"

With brown hair and gray and dark green pupils, this very abrupt information puzzled Andrei...... He couldn't think of any reason for a strange little girl to deliberately deceive himself, not to mention that such a meaningless lie could be easily pierced by both a mirror and a calm water.

"Wait!" This time it was the turn of the Children of the Abyss to hold the orc girl's cheeks with both hands, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you......"

Andrei's face was almost attached to Nanali, and through the little girl's amber eyes, he could clearly see his own face reflected in the other person's eyeballs. Although the children of the abyss could not accurately distinguish the exact color of their eyes because of the color of the little girl's pupils, the obvious difference in color depth between gray and dark green was clear at a glance.

As the little girl said, her left eye is lighter and her right eye is darker. Obviously, the gray and dark green descriptions she spoke of should all be based on facts. Heterochromic pupils are already a fact, and there should be no reason for Nainari to lie about the specific differences in color.

In this case, this may be the knock-on effect of the Shadow Core being replaced by the Garanord seed. Magic can have an effect on the appearance of life to some extent, the most obvious exception being the elves who appear more and more frequently in Andrari. Mana's hair and eyes were green, while the water fairy Lily's hair and eyes were dazzling aqua blue, and the elven princess's unforgettable emerald green eyes, which emitted a hazy shimmer that mesmerized in the night, a dreamlike sight that left a deep impression on the memories of the children of the abyss.

André himself has used shadow magic many times to condense black, flame-like manifestation magic in his eyes. In this way, it is not so difficult to understand that the magic of depth and flesh can change one's appearance. His dark green right eye should be influenced by the seeds of the sacred tree, but the gray left eye is gray ......

The Child of the Abyss suddenly remembered the gray strange thing that had been lurking on his body, and if it hadn't been for the fact that the thing dangled in his sight every time before going to bed and in the bath, he would have almost forgotten about that thing—the gray snake of the underworld that the Lord of Yellow Springs had given him!

Thinking of this, Andre's hands also began to move, and he quickly pulled open the placket of his already tattered clothes, looking for the gray snake that was always "crawling around" on his body, and had no body and seemed to be just a virtual image. But everyone in the prison car focused their eyes on his chest.

Beneath the black clothes is the young man's slean body, although because the physique is still in the development stage, it is not as good as those orcs and demon warriors, and even has a certain gap with those experienced human warriors, but those muscles that seem to be refined and reliable still give people a sense of good power, all thanks to the habitual physical exercise behavior of the children of the abyss when they study dragon fighting but do not know the essentials.

However, what really caught the attention of the four was the striking tattoo-like colorful mark on Andrei's right chest.

The pattern is not very complicated, just a vine made up of green leaves and rhizomes, and a snake with gray scales. Both appear as abstract images on the skin of the Sons of the Abyss's chest, like primitive totems of primitive civilizations that have been simplified through art. The vines and the grey snake are entangled together to form a ring that connects end to end - according to Andrei's interpretation, the Ouroboros can be understood as a sense of competition in which the leader knocks out the last. In fact, however, the people who created the concept saw the Ouroboros as a system that embodied circulation in the form of self-engulfment, symbolizing a system that achieved a certain equilibrium through internal self-sufficiency. If understood according to the concepts and knowledge of later generations, the Ouroboros is more like the embodiment of a macrocosmic law, self-contained, constantly experiencing disillusionment, and at the same time constantly regenerating itself, just like the universe that people could observe at that time. At the same time, the "alchemy" of the old times also saw the Ouroboros as a unique manifestation of its own growth, as it continued to devour itself, that is, to destroy itself, just like the ultimate state sought by the whimsical people of that era—an ultimate immortality.

To put it simply, it is actually more similar to the meaning of the life cycle expressed by the return of fallen leaves to the roots.

So what does the Ouroboros pattern that appears on his chest composed of vines symbolizing life and the gray snake of the underworld representing the soul mean, and probably only the gods who have given these two powers separately can accurately answer this question for the children of the abyss. Whatever it meant, the four men in the cart had realized that the simple figure represented some strange and esoteric power.

André naturally understood the origin of the motif on his chest, just like the ring on the forehead of the Apostle Herrera, which represented the radiant light, and the tangled vines and gray serpents may only prove that the two gods approved of their new ideas, and the information that the Children of the Abyss had browsed from the royal library of Garlanord showed that the emblems of the Earth Goddess and the Lord of Yellow Springs were almost never displayed in the form of rings connected from end to end.

And the three orc women, simply because they, as a traditional totem worship people, have never seen such a delicate and simple imprint. Nanali didn't even shy away from reaching out and touching Andrei's chest, as if to verify that the pattern on the chest of the Children of the Abyss was made of some kind of mineral paint.

It turns out that in this world where tattoos have not yet been invented, the pigment that adheres to the skin and does not fade has never appeared at all. The colored marks on the bodies of most creatures are either innate, or formed by the action of some special magical power, and among them, the imprint of divine power is the most intuitive and clearly recognizable.

Having verified her suspicions, Nanali was smiling like a little fox who had stolen an egg, and in the current situation, whether Andre admitted it or not, she was already convinced that the young man who was locked in a prison car with her was the messenger of the gods.

Because of the pattern on Andrei's chest, even the other two people around Nanelli have already doubted the identity of the Children of the Abyss.

"Even if I have different eye colors and some inexplicable patterns on my body, it only proves that I am a little different from ordinary people. Not enough to justify you identifying me as a messenger of the gods!" No matter what others thought, Andre had no intention of admitting that he was favored by the gods at the moment, at least in front of the three orc girls, he was already hardened to the end. In fact, it didn't matter if he admitted it himself or not, it mattered what others thought, and in order to avoid being recognized as a messenger of the gods again in the eyes of the slave catchers or others, the son of the abyss returned to the original question after going around with the little girl for a while.

"Of course, that's because Nanali has been begging the gods to save her since the moment she was captured! Isn't the strange man who appeared in front of Nanali and her sister in such a special way at this moment supposed to be a messenger sent by the gods!?" The orc girl preached something inexplicable in a natural tone, "Nanali is very sincere! Even the prophets of the tribe have said that Nanali will be a great character when she grows up!!"

Is it just the other party guessing because of a simple excess of self-awareness!?

The Child of the Abyss suddenly had the idea of striking the little girl in front of him. As a quasi-slave, if you want to become a so-called "big man", you may only be able to keep pushing yourself on and looking for opportunities through methods such as lying on the back of your salary. For an orc girl who will be sold into a human city-state for human play, those bleak and hopeless futures are a little unspeakable even for André at this moment. I just don't know how long this little girl who feels good about herself can maintain her innocence and innocence.

"Then the noble envoy, can Nanali know your name?" the little orc girl saluted André with a strange courtesy.

"My name is Mephistopheles. Andrei thought for a moment and then uttered such a name.

Mephistopheles, a conceited demon king in a certain myth and legend.

After saying this, Andre, who should not be said to be Mephistopheles, was stunned by the situation that appeared without warning - a huge exclamation mark suddenly appeared on Nanali's head, which was suspended and very conspicuous!

Just like the most common thing in the damn MMORPG, which is hated but can't be stopped!!Thank you for the aimless and death-threatening tips~~
