"Nope." Nordens smiled and shook his head: "I'm not. ”

"Huh?" The centaur touched his head in surprise: "I admit my mistake?" ”

"You probably did admit that you were mistaken."

"But your looks are obvious."

"You're mistaken." Nordens repeats again.

Centaur Stopper.

"Now." Nordens said: "Just tell me how much the fare is. ”

"The fare is for me to see." The centaur looked at the meter on the seahorse's back, and said, "That's 912 golden shells." ”

"How much?" Nordens was stunned: "Why is it so expensive?" Where are you from? ”

"It's the sea nearby."

The Centaur explained:

"The starting price is 8 Golden Shells, then 2 Golden Shells per kilometer above 3 kilometers, and there is a waiting fee for half a Golden Shell every 15 minutes.

By standard, it should not be expensive, and a maximum of one hundred and twenty-one and three is enough according to the normal route, but the two of them insisted that I take them around the sea more often, and deliberately let me take a long detour, and the price went up as soon as the distance was long.

“.”

Nordens looked at Jiang Lu and Zeus, who were still motion sickness, suspiciously.

And people who deliberately make people take long detours?

"It's coming." Jiang Lu said seriously.

"Forget it, so be it."

Nordens is not short of this money, mainly because the moment he saw the fare, he thought that there was something big wrong with his anchor point, and he was a little strange why Jiang Lu was teleported to such a remote place.

After paying, the centaur drove away.

Zeus and Jiang Lu, who was holding Huang Xiu'e, sat on the reef and looked at Nordens.

"So excuse me, where's Nordens?"

Jiang Lu asked.

"I am." Nordens replied.

"Huh?" Jiang Lu was a little confused: "Didn't you just tell him that you weren't Nordens?" ”

Nordens naturally wouldn't tell Jiang Lu that he was afraid that it would be troublesome for the centaur to have too much unnecessary socialization after recognizing him, so he just replied lightly: "I have my plans." ”

"So low-key, huh?" Zeus muttered.

But Jiang Lu was a more vigilant person, and he didn't believe Nordens' words at the first time.

Because according to his experience, people of their status do not bother to hide their identities at all unless they do something wrong.

So Jiang Lu deliberately asked about the two communicating through consciousness to verify Nordens' identity.

"Do you remember what I said when we first met?"

Nordens stared at Jiang Lu, realizing that Jiang Lu was probably doubting his identity, so he replied, "You said that I would help you build a bridge between the two worlds, and you also said that there are many people who believe in me, even if I tell you that I need to face many terrible enemies, you also say that you will help me." ”

"yes, that's right." Jiang Lu nodded: "So what did you do?" ”

“？” Nordens was puzzled: "I didn't do anything wrong. ”

"It doesn't seem like a trivial matter." Jiang Lu showed an ambiguous smile.

“.” Nordens found himself still a little unable to cope with the offline situation.

If only dealing with people could be as simple as sealing the Old Dominators, Nordens thought.

"Alright."

Seeing that Nordens was unwilling to talk in detail, Jiang Lu didn't ask much, changed the topic, and got straight to the point:

"Let's not hide it, tell me what trouble you've had, and I'll help you solve it, but in exchange, you also have to tell me why all the anchors in all places are gone, and how to restore them."

Nordens thought for a moment and said to Jiang Lu: "You come with me." ”

Jiang Lu and Zeus glanced at each other and got up.

But Nordens emphasized: "I'm talking about you, you come with me, not you." ”

"But we're a team."

Looking at Jiang Lu, who seemed a little resistant, Nordens also wanted to say it here, but Zeus kept staring at him with a strange look and observed carefully, which made him feel very awkward.

Talking to Jiang Lu under such circumstances is like the embarrassment of being broken by the other party's unwitting servant when he first interacted with the ghoul queen.

That time he almost pretended to be Nyaratotip.

"The stakes are high." Nordens said solemnly.

"Then it can't be helped."

Jiang Lu had no choice but to nod and say to Zeus, "Don't move around here." ”

"Okay." Zeus took Huang Xiu'e and sat back on the reef obediently.

Then Jiang Lu followed Nordens and began to walk in the reef forest, chatting as he walked.

During this time, Nordens barely looked at Jiang Lu squarely, let alone looked at him directly.

This made Jiang Lu feel that he was an impolite person, but after all, he had just extorted a lot of money from him just now, and Jiang Lu did not show his dissatisfaction too much.

"If you're wondering why the anchors are all gone, I don't have to wait for you to help me, I can tell you right now."

Nordens, who lowered his head and only looked at the road:

"Because fundamentally, that's one of the effects of what I call trouble, and our goals are actually the same."

"Oh? Elaborate. Jiang Lu became interested.

Nordens thought for a moment about how to cut in, and then slowly spoke: "Since you said that there are many people who believe in me, then you must know about Nyarrathotep, right?" ”

"You know." Jiang Lu's face did not change: "But I don't know very well, what's wrong?" ”

Nordens is just a social phobia, but he is not a social idiot, so he can naturally hear the weakness in Jiang Lu's tone.

He guessed that Jiang Lu had never heard of this name at all.

But Neyaratotip is the fuse of a whole chain reaction, and it is impossible to cross him without talking about it, so Nordens had to introduce his biggest enemy to Jiang Lu first:

"Known as the Wandering Chaos, he is a messenger representing the entire community of outer gods and the old rulers, who often walks around in human form, and is always keen to deceive and seduce humanity, and takes the highest pleasure in plunging humanity into terror and despair until it eventually goes insane.

And there are so many incarnations of him that he has never shown his original face in front of people to this day, but I am extremely sure that his original body must be a twisted and hideous monster.

He is also my greatest mortal enemy, with whom I have fought for countless years, in fact, this incident is not the most serious in the long history of our struggle, but it is not the most ordinary. ”

"Chaos of ambush?" Jiang Lu finally understood why the ghouls called him and Zeus when they misunderstood him, it turned out that they thought they were the incarnation of Nyaratotip.

"You know?"

"Hearsay, hearsay, you continue." Jiang Lu was reluctant to mention the ghoul in front of Nordens, so he decisively diverted the topic.

"This time, it's another conspiracy of Nyaratopep."

Nordens sighed:

To put it simply, he was no longer satisfied with playing with a small group of people to achieve his goal of causing chaos, he was silent for a long time, and then planned a big one.

I don't know what he's prepared for this, I just know that by the time I noticed, it was all over.

He kidnapped all the gods scattered in what you call the unknown, imprisoned them, erased the anchors they left behind, and then disappeared again. ”

"Why would he do that?"

"Because he wants to destroy the faith of mankind."

Nordens explained heavily:

"By erasing the anchor point, he made it impossible for humans to reach the area guarded by the gods, and by imprisoning the gods, he made it impossible for humans to see the gods they believed in.

Human lifespan is limited, and perhaps the first believers will always remember that they once saw the heroic appearance of the gods with their own eyes, but as the generations reproduce, sooner or later history will become legends, and legends will gradually become myths.

At that time, human beings who have not seen the gods for a long time will no longer remember that they really existed, and will only regard them as the imagination of their predecessors. ”

"That's not right."

Jiang Lu was a little puzzled:

"I heard you say that this Nyara Totipp is very powerful, although there are no gods in the unknown land that can be regarded as the main god, but he can use means to kidnap them, it shouldn't be an ordinary person, so such a big wrist, he can't get along with humans, this is too cheap, right?"

"Then you'd be wrong."

Nordens explains:

"The reason why he went to such great lengths to destroy the faith of mankind was actually to deal with these gods that he controlled.

The power of the gods derives from the belief of groups, which can be humans, plants, or animals.

And the belief in most gods is still almost entirely from humans.

As long as the faith remains, the gods are immortal, and the most effective way to deal with the gods is to seal, and the most ruthless and ruthless is just to divide the corpse and then apply a separate seal to each part.

But even so, with the right opportunity, there is still a possibility of revival of the dismembered gods.

Therefore, Nayarathotep did this, in fact, he planned to erase all the beliefs of these gods, so that no one in the whole world or even the entire universe would remember the names of these gods, and then he could completely kill the gods. ”

"Hiss" Jiang Lu thought thoughtfully, as if he understood or not: "I seem to understand, is this what is going on?"

Although he didn't have this part of the information in his memory, he could now understand why he had been dismembered.

It was not clear that Jiang Lu was thinking of his Nordens, thinking that he understood the logic of Nyarlathotep's actions, so he continued:

"Of course, it is impossible to erase the traces of the existence of the gods from history by simply making humans forget about themselves.

Words, pictures, and music are all carriers that may leave proof of their existence, even if they become legends and myths, but as long as their culture is still there, there will always be people who believe in them, and it is just a matter of quantity.

So this is just the beginning of Nayarathotep's plan.

Next, he will definitely infiltrate the land of the gods in Hiberil, the land of the gods, through his incarnation, which is where you have come.

Then he will try to establish a new sect, and gradually encroach on other sects through various means, either to brand the gods as heretics, or to show new miracles to the believers who have lost their gods.

In short, he will pull all the believers who originally believed in these gods into his camp, occupy the magpie's nest, and accelerate the process of weakening the gods. ”

Listening to it, Jiang Lu felt that something was wrong.

How is this Nyara Totip, exactly the same as what he thinks?

It was then that Nordens coincidentally began to speculate on what Nayarathotep would do then.

"I think the most likely thing he's going to do is by joining one of the most powerful sects, then gradually usurping the dominance, implementing the New Deal and then starting to distort the facts and promote the new gods."

After a pause, Nordens, who was embarrassed to watch Jiang Lu speak and didn't notice the change in Jiang Lu's expression at all, added to himself:

"I think that he should tailor a new set of teachings for these human beings according to the actual needs of the believers in their lives, and the key points that are not mentioned in the teachings of any sect, and then grasp their pain points for religious export.

Let them completely transform their bodies and minds so that they can get rid of their original beliefs.

The gods had completely lost contact with Hiberil, and it was not difficult for him to do this. ”

"Ward. Hair? ”

Jiang Lu was stupid when he heard it.

If he didn't know that Nordens was just speculating, he even suspected that this old den had eavesdropped on his conversation with Zeus.

And the worst part is that Nordens and Nyaratotip are bitter rivals, and his knowledge of them must be very comprehensive and accurate, which means that Nordens's speculation will come true nine times out of ten.

In other words, he and Nayarathotipzhen thought of going together.

Even the steps are fucking the same!

It made him feel a little nervous.

Although I don't know who came up with this idea first, Jiang Lu stubbornly believes that he and Zeus are the originals, so he is naturally full of malice towards the stinky copy of Nyara Totip.

"What's wrong with you?" Hearing Jiang Lu's uncontrollable foul language, Nordens noticed Jiang Lu's abnormality.

"It's fine."

Jiang Lu shook his head, and his expression became solemn.

In that case, then this is really not just a matter of simple tasks in the spiritual realm, and Nyarrathotep has now become his own enemy.

If you don't have to worry about it, you can still help Nordens with the mentality of having fun, and there is no psychological burden.

If you can help, if you can't help pull it down, just do your best.

But if you grab land with yourself, you have to get serious and go all out.

So he took a deep breath: "Say, how can I sabotage this plan of his?" ”

"That's the point."

Seeing that Jiang Lu didn't want to tell him why he suddenly had such a big mood swing, and didn't want to ask more, Nordens returned to the topic just now:

"Because I need to be in the Great Abyss to be able to monitor all the sealed Old Dominators, I can't leave easily, and even if I do, I can't leave for too long, so I need your help."

Speaking of this, he looked at Jiang Lu seriously and solemnly for the first time:

"To put it bluntly, I need a carrier that can carry my vast divine power as my messenger on earth, and when I encounter the old rulers, my messenger can summon my divine power and seal these evil beings.

That's why I've put restrictions on anchors, if they're not qualified to carry my powers, then it's useless to have more people. ”

"That's right." Jiang Lu nodded.

He was not dissatisfied with Nordens' unconscious contempt, because this was the most in line with Jiang Lu's expectations, whether it was the innate arrogance of a superior like Nordens, or this way of dealing with the old dominators, it was the most reasonable.

"I'll just say, you've dealt with countless years of mortal enemies, how could I have no choice but to get him, if you want to say that, then I can accept it."

Nordens let out a "hmm" and said, "You and your friends both contain divinity that even I haven't seen for a long time, and if you put it in the past, you are all expected to become the top few main gods among the gods, but it's a pity"

"Nothing to worry about." Jiang Lu shrugged.

In Nordens' opinion, even if he described Nyarrathotep as so evil that Jiang Lu understood what kind of terrible enemy the other party was, he never showed timidity at all from beginning to end, and even his eyes did not change, but became more and more determined.

Even if he knew that his divinity could not have great achievements in this era, he was not arrogant or impatient, and his mind was always peaceful.

So Nordens naturally had a good impression of this talented but untimely young man, and comforted him:

"It's best if you can think like this, but you don't have to be too discouraged, although the godhead has been fixed, but you don't have the ability to create a new godhead, you still have a chance to become a god, maybe this time to help me deal with Nyarrathotep, is a rare opportunity for you."

Nordens stroked his fluffy white beard and said with a little pride: "If you can comprehend some mysteries of my divine power, it will be enough for you to use it for the rest of your life." ”

And Jiang Lu's response was just a look at the strange uncle.

In his opinion, this kind of talk is not only pretended, but also greasy and somewhat disgusting.

"Alright, don't talk about that." Jiang Lu interrupted this meaningless behavior of the subordinate man, and asked instead, "Then the question is, where is Nyara Totip?" How do I find him? ”

"Even I can't figure out his whereabouts, but he has been frequently seen in the place where Ikhuti is imprisoned lately, and it seems that he has some special thoughts about Ikhuti, as long as you go there and stay there, Nayarathotep will appear sooner or later."

"Who is Ihwuti?" Jiang Lu asked.

"You don't know her name?" Nordens was a little surprised: "Then maybe you will be familiar with her name, she is called the elk goddess in Hiberil." ”

"I'm blanching!" Jiang Lu suddenly became excited.

Fate!

"Why are you so reactive?" Nordens was so startled by the suddenly excited Jiang Lu that he quietly took two steps back, looking at him with some apprehension and smiling face, for fear that he would have some mental illness.

Because he's so energetic right now.

"I look up to her." Jiang Lu thought that he would jump up with joy when he told Zeus the good news, so he got a little carried away and said, "I even often let people dress up as little elk to commemorate her. ”

"But." Nordens remembered what Jiang Lu had said to him when he was in consciousness: "Isn't that to commemorate me?" ”

Jiang Lu had obviously forgotten about this stubble, so he couldn't imagine how such an old Deng, who didn't even let go of ghouls, be embarrassed to take such a sacred cosplay genre for himself.

"Don't go too far!"

"Huh?"

Although it is not clear, Nordens feels that the topic cannot be continued.

So he said to Jiang Lu, "Without further ado, let's go back now, and you will relay what I just said to your friends, while I begin to prepare the ritual that will allow you to summon my divine power." ”

"Uh" Jiang Lumo rubbed his chin and asked seriously, "Then why didn't you just call him over just now?" ”

"I don't know why, I don't like the way he looks at me." After getting along with Jiang Lu for a while, Nordens's initial social fear has faded a little, and he has begun to become a little more honest.

"Is it so ambiguous?" Jiang Lu didn't say much, but his eyes became a little strange.

Nordens didn't know Zeus, but he did.

I don't know what Zeus really thinks about Nordens.

Think about it carefully, don't fight and don't know each other, and then open a vest in order to get the approval of the other party, pretend to be forced in front of the other party, and finally expose, isn't this what knockers love to see?

Although Zeus and Nordens are both old Deng, there is no shortage of this kind of subject matter in the history of literature, although Jiang Lu does not approve and is a little resistant, but he respects it.

Yes, it's talking about "Water Margin"!

Soon, Jiang Lu and Nordens returned to the side of the trident, and while Nordens was ready, Jiang Lu simply told Zeus everything he had just learned.

Of course, because it is a paraphrase, Jiang Lu further crooked his ass on the basis of Nordens's not so objective dialectic.

So when Zeus heard that Nyarrathotep had plagiarized their idea, he immediately expressed his indignation.

Under Jiang Lu's eloquent retelling, Zeus didn't even think about how Nyarrathotep had eavesdropped on their conversation.

Jiang Lu is my brother, I believe what he says, can my brother still harm me?

And when he heard that the key person to deal with Nyarlathotep was actually the long-awaited elk goddess, Zeus was really excited.

Now, whether it is to crack down on plagiarism and piracy, or to pout the little elk, Zeus has a reason to do his best.

"How so? Dude didn't cheat you, did he? Jiang Lu smiled: "Now not only can I achieve my goal, but your nutrition can also be supplemented, right?" ”

"I can make it up, I can make it up."

Zeus clenched his little fist excitedly: "I haven't started to make up for it, I'm going to bleed!" ”

"Nosebleeds?"

"Nope." Zeus shook his head: "I'm talking about the downward-flowing blood. ”

"Great."

While the two were talking, Nordens was ready and summoned the two of them to his side.

"Because Nyaratotip is too powerful, the weak divine power I used to give my emissaries to summon dragons, knights, or anything else should not be able to help you, so I decided to let you carry my trident directly.

So that when you become one, you can connect directly to the bridge where you are to mine, and I can cross it directly. ”

Nordens pulled out the trident that was the anchor point from the ground and said solemnly: "The divine power in this is very huge, I'm afraid it will be a little unbearable for you, but I hope you can persevere." ”

"Okay."

Zeus doesn't care, he thinks that Nordens' level is about the same as him, although he is only a doppelganger of the body now, it is impossible that he can't even carry Nordens's weapon power.

What's more, he didn't carry it alone, didn't he still have Jiang Lu?

However, Jiang Lu was a little bottomless in his heart.

He knew that his divinity was almost all on the foundation of the evil god, the hippocampus was only a part of the brain, not a complete version, not to mention the left hand of the evil god, it was not complete, it was not the main body at all, it was just a fragment projection.

All the burdens are on Jiang Bao, and I don't know if Jiang Bao can stand it.

So he lifted Huang Xiu'e very naively: "Let's see if she can help us share a part?" ”

"Meow?" Huang Xiu'e turned her head in disbelief, and Jiang Lu avoided her gaze with a weak heart.

"How can a cat be used for um? And so on."

Nordens wanted to say that it was impossible for a cat to withstand his own divine powers, but on second thought, didn't this cat also teleport through his anchor point?

Thinking about it this way, doesn't this mean that she has passed the screening mechanism set by herself?

Other words

He watched carefully.

Soon, he saw the phantom of Huang Xiu'e's huge cat and cat insect body.

"This is" Nordens showed surprise for the first time in front of Jiang Lu: "Cats and cats?!" ”

"Yo, you see that?" Jiang Lu was also a little surprised: "You are quite well-informed." ”

"You know its race, and you dare to take it with you?"

When Nordens heard that Jiang Lu knew what Huang Xiu'e's body was, he looked at him like a madman: "Don't you know that this creature is very dangerous?" ”

"Is it dangerous? I think it's okay, as long as she teases her with a cat stick often, she will be very close to people. Jiang Lu said disapprerovingly.

"Cat teaser? Cats and cats are actually interested in such mundane things? ”

Nordens was incredulous: "Where did you get it?" ”

"I'll pick it up, I see her covering the donkey with me, I wonder if this Nier wants it, so I'll pick it up."

"What's your tone?"

"Oh." Jiang Lu explained: "I think this tone should be used when describing picking up something on the side of the road. ”

Nordens pursed his lips and looked at Huang Xiu'e seriously.

To be honest, if Jiang Lu hadn't taken the initiative to take Huang Xiu'e out, he really wouldn't have seen that the cat in front of him would be a terrifying cat and catworm, and it seemed that she was really as Jiang Lu said, she was very docile.

Is this something special?

Nordens thought about it for a long time, and finally agreed to Jiang Lu's suggestion, because he was also worried that although the divinity was very deep, the two people who didn't have much divine power in their bodies would die because they couldn't withstand their divine power explosion, and there would be more security if they could carry one more individual.

"It can help you, but you have to make sure it doesn't hurt you."

"Of course." Jiang Lu was relieved to take Huang Xiu'e back into his arms, and kept rubbing her with his face: "E'e is the most well-behaved, isn't she?" Hey, hey, little kitten~"

"Whew!"

Jiang Lu raised his head expressionlessly, and Zeus shouted in horror: "Where's your nose?!" ”

"Don't worry." Jiang Lu took out the tip of his nose from Huang Xiu'e's mouth, put it back, and said to Nordens: "My own recovery is too slow, do me a favor and speed up." ”

“.”

After curing Jiang Lu's nose, Nordens let the two of them and a cat approach the trident with some concern.

"Hold it!" Nordens said.

Jiang Liu, who had had an experience, held the trident.

Zeus did the same, shook it, and then asked Nordens seriously: "Do you blow it?" ”

"You're really good friends," Nordens was speechless, "No, just hold it." ”

As for Huang Xiu'e, with Jiang Lu and Zeus holding one of their front paws, they involuntarily stuck to the trident.

The ceremony begins.

Pale with a faint blue glow enveloped them.

In the process of transmitting divine power, Zeus was extremely relaxed, although Huang Xiu'e was a little uncomfortable, but she was not uncomfortable, only Jiang Lu suddenly began to cry out in pain.

"What's wrong with you?" Zeus's voice came from the light curtain.

"Eagle! It's an eagle! ”

Through the light curtain, Nordens thought that Jiang Lu's body had become stiff because he had received a large amount of divine power, so he hurriedly reassured: "Just hold on, just hold on a little longer." ”

"Oops! Divine power wants to take possession of my body! ”

Nordens began to realize that something was wrong: "It's impossible, I've dealt with it all, and the divine power should be very gentle." ”

But Jiang Lu didn't seem to hear it at all, and shouted to himself:

"Uhhhh Why, why all went there! What a nasty divine power! ”

"Huh?" Nordens began to be confused.

"Sure enough, it was occupied! I'm squeezed out! ”

"What do you mean by squeezing out?" Nordens began to be confused.

Then Zeus's anxious voice appeared: "No, buddy, don't, resist it!" ”

"You try the top one!"

"It's not you who came for real?!"

"Because I'm going to blow it up!"

"? I grass! Fuck!! ”

"It's comfortable, I feel like I can accept a tube of divine power again"

Listening to the conversation between the two and Huang Xiu'e's irritable voice, Nordens' brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Finally, everything was over, and the divine power on the trident was transferred to the three of them.

Jiang Lu was casual, Zeus had a complicated expression, and Huang Xiu'e was scolding.

Nordens sensed something and looked down.

I can't seem to have my own trident.

"You are," he looked at Jiang Lu with an ugly expression.

"Then you can't let me swell to death, can you?" Jiang Lu sighed, looking helpless.

Nordens gritted his teeth, and finally did not choose to pursue it.

He closed his eyes tightly and breathed deeply, out of sight.

You try to channel my divine powers.

"How?" Jiang Lu added fuel to the fire.

Fortunately, Zeus was reliable, and when he saw that Nordens' expression was wrong, he played the role of commentary: "You just imagine gathering these divine powers into your hands and releasing them." ”

"Okay." Jiang Lu nodded and began to guide.

Huang Xiu'e followed her instinct and quickly embodied the trident divine power she had been assigned.

Her teeth became extremely sharp, and the tiger teeth gradually lengthened, and her body was wrapped in a sharp and murderous aura from Jin Ge.

It is clear that Huang Xiu'e is now the tip of the trident.

And Zeus, who was wrapped in divine power, had a thick and calm breath, and his sharp edge was restrained, and at first glance it was the body of a trident.

As for Jiang Lu, he is hard and a halberd.

"When Nyara Totep appears, you can combine my divine power into one, so as to summon me, and then I will drag him, and you will use my divine power to rescue the gods who are imprisoned by him as soon as possible, this is the plan, understand?"

Nordens didn't want to say another word to Jiang Lu now, so after a brief explanation, he urged them to enter the teleportation array he had arranged.

After entering the teleportation array, with the encouragement of Zeus, Jiang Lu, who realized his mistake, said to Nordens with some guilt:

"You just leave it alone, wait for me to come back and wash it for you."

In response to him was Nordens, a man who never thought that one day he would burst out of his mouth:

"Get out!"

Bad news, I went to the hospital today to review the heart palpitations of staying up late, it took a lot of time, and I didn't have time to write enough 1w, good news, the new group is there, I'll put it up later
