For teenagers, having a house of their own in this city is undoubtedly a very proud thing, even if the house is small, it is also a home. Chen An has a deep understanding of this, in his country, countless young people go to the big city to fight just to have a house to live in, a house will have a home, a home will have a future, this is a traditional belief rooted in people's bones.

On the way to the boy's home, Chen An consciously or unconsciously observed the nearby environment, which should be a residential area, surrounded by all kinds of private buildings, and in the inconspicuous places in the corners of the streets and alleys, there will always be random discarded garbage, and even traces of filthy feces in some places.

Chen An, who has browsed Western medieval materials, is not too surprised by this, for example, Paris, France, known as the romantic capital, was famous as the dung capital in the Middle Ages, and it is possible to get drenched in excrement when you walk on the street.

"Welcome to my home, don't be too polite, there's no one in the house. ”

The young man opened the door and invited Chen An into the room with a warm face.

Out of the habit of observation, Chen An quickly took into account the situation in the house, this is a one-bedroom house, the living room and bedroom are basically separated by a curtain, the living room is poorly furnished, except for a low round table and a few small wooden chairs, there is no other formal furniture, most of the rest are some dilapidated objects such as bottles and cans, and the bedroom is almost the same, the only thing that catches the eye is the neatly laid wooden bed.

Although the house is small and messy, the cleanliness is commendable, the floor is clean, the tables and chairs are free of dust, and the teenager will often take care of the hygiene of the house.

"Give you water. ”

The young man scooped some water from the wooden water tank in the room, put it into a bamboo tube-shaped cup, and then handed it to Chen An, who was sitting on a chair looking around, as a hospitality.

"Thank you. ”

Chen An smiled and thanked him, and after a while, he began to ask the other party about all aspects of the strange world in front of him.

......

This is a world called Osgard, like many myths and legends, people believe that the world was created by the great father God Edda, Chen Anchu thought that this was a religion spread a story similar to the Bible, but who would have thought that the boy looked at him with strange eyes and clearly told him that there are gods in this world, and there is more than one god.

Father God Edda fell from exhaustion after opening the world, and his corpse was incarnated into the Three Realms of Things, among which the gods who dwelled in the heavenly realm were born from the essence of the Father God's body, and the demons who lived in the abyss were born from the turbidity in the body of the Father God.

The gods and demons are natural mortal enemies, and the war between them has lasted for many thousands of years, and the human world is often a battlefield between the two sides, resulting in the human world suffering from the misery of life for many years, and in the last recorded war of gods and demons, the gods completely sealed the exit of the abyssal demons to the outside world in all parts of the human world, and since then Osgard has ushered in the long-lost peace.

In order to maintain the seal of the abyss, the gods have set up temples of faith in each sealing node in the human world, which is responsible for suppressing the monsters leaking out of the cracks in the abyss.

In general, in the eyes of the materialist Chen An, the worldview of this world is too complicated, he just needs to understand that there are gods and demons in this world, after all, things that are too detached from real life are often difficult to attract attention, just like in his world, you can know the leaders of various countries through the Internet, but the problem is that the other party will not have any intersection with your own life at all, even if you know each other, it is useless, to a certain extent, the gods and demons and national leaders are difficult for ordinary people to touch。

The boy's name is Alex, who claims to be a follower of the sun god Thor, and now works as an apprentice in a leather shop, with the greatest desire to save enough money for the Awakening Ritual to become a glorious deity.

The so-called awakening ritual is a gift of power given by the gods to their respective believers, usually by the temple priest to preside over the awakening ceremony, if it is an ordinary believer who needs to perform the awakening ceremony, he must donate enough money, and the believer who voluntarily joins the temple and dedicates his life to the god does not, the difference between the two is the free choice, unless it is a true fanatic, few people will choose to join the temple.

It is said that it is often difficult for people with distracting thoughts, weak wills, and weak faith to receive the power of the gods, so until now, the people who can truly become the gods are often the best people in a million.

Bella Oka, the word that the boy once mentioned is the name of the city, it belongs to the fief of the Grand Duke of Bourne of the Lionheart Kingdom, and in the entire Lionheart Kingdom, Bella Oka can be regarded as one of the top five prosperous cities, which also means that there is a node of the Sealing Abyss here.

Time passed quietly in the constant question-and-answer between the two, and in the blink of an eye, night had fallen, and his stomach could not help but become hungry, and the hospitable Alex treated Chen An with a rough dinner, and invited him to stay overnight.

Chen An didn't know what the young man had in his heart for the time being, and he was unfamiliar with life in another world, so he could only choose to rely on the kindness shown by the other party.

"This is my clothes, don't be too small, hurry up and change into that stinky set of clothes on you. ”

Alex used a cloth sheet to lay a simple floor for Chen An in the living room, and then took out a gray robe from his bedroom and threw it to Chen An.

"Thank you, may I ask, is there a place to take a bath here?" Chen An took his clothes and asked politely.

"Take a bath?" Alex said with a wink of eyebrows and a smile. "Generally, if we poor people want to take a bath, we will draw some water from the well outside to rinse our bodies, and rich people will go to a special bathhouse in the city to take a bath, do you want to take a bath?"

"Yes, the smell on my body always feels a little unaccustomed, and it seems to be parasitic with a lot of bugs that make people itch. Chen An said frankly.

"Then I'll help you get some water for the bath, and you'll be able to wash up outside the house later." Alex nodded, picked up a barrel from the living room and prepared to go out.

"Thank you so much. ”

"You better hurry up and change your clothes before I get back, it smells so pungent. Alex just smiled and waved his hand and left the room.

"Ahh

After Alex left, Chen An suddenly sighed, the other party gave him a lot of care, but he doubted his intentions, and he really felt guilty when he thought about it.

Changing into Alex's caftan is quite fitting except for the shoulders being a little narrow, of course, given the height gap between him and Alex, the hem of the caftan worn on him is only up to the calf, and Alex will definitely go to the ankle if he wears it, but some of them are good, and he doesn't care too much.

In the middle of the night, Alex came back with a bucket of water, he didn't enter the door, but shouted directly at the door: "Ann, the water is back, you can come out and take a bath by yourself." ”

Ann, this is the name that Chen An introduced himself, and not reporting his full name is nothing more than following the local customs.

"It's coming, it's coming. ”

As soon as Chen An went out, Alex casually threw a rag-shaped towel to him.

"Carry your own water to the corner of the house and scrub your body with this. ”

"Thank you!"

Chen An stepped forward and lifted Alex's bucket by his side, and then walked straight towards the dark and uninhabited corner.

"Where's your dress?" suddenly exclaimed Alex behind him.

"I left it in the living room for the time being, and I'll clean it up when I get back. Chen Antou didn't reply.

"Do you want me to take care of it for you?" called Alex.

"I'm sorry for you. ”

After Alex saw Chen An walking to the corner of the house and starting to take a bath, he quickly returned to the house, his eyes searched around for the clothes that Chen An had changed, and for a moment, he saw that the clothes were placed next to the table.

He picked up his clothes, looked out of the door with a look of being a thief, and then hurriedly put the clothes into a box under the wooden bed in the bedroom, after doing all this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered silently: "With the material of this clothes, it can definitely be sold for a good price after cleaning, that guy is really a fool who doesn't know that he has treasures on his body, it's not in vain that I spent my heart to entertain him, hehe, it's a big step closer to making up enough money for the awakening ceremony......"

After taking a shower, Chen An, who was refreshed, returned to the house with an empty wooden barrel, only to find that Alex was not found in the living room, and the clothes he had left on the table were gone.

"Alex?!" he cried.

"I'm in the bedroom. Alex's voice rang out from inside the room.

"Are you ready to rest so early?" Chen An wiped his hair with a towel as he put the barrel back into its original corner.

"I'm going to work in the leather shop early tomorrow morning, so I'll have an early break and I'll have the energy to work tomorrow. Alex said.

"Then I won't bother you. Chen An said considerately: "By the way, what about the clothes I threw under the table?"

"The clothes?!, I threw them away for you. Alex's voice was distinctive.

"Lost it? Then I don't have any other clothes to wear. Chen An said tangledly.

"Don't worry, I'll give you this dress, I have other extra clothes anyway. Alex said.

"Alex. ”

"Huh?"

"You're such a nice guy!"

"Huh...... Hehe......"
