"Whoosh!" A gust of cold wind blew past the Black Fire Camp. Ye was so bored that she started to doze off. In the past, these two big shots had met and talked about many things, but none of their meetings were as long as today's.
She swung her arms casually. Before this, she had tried to cast a spell like the black-robed priest, but the result was no surprise. She was still a mortal, and the powerful and mysterious power did not bother her at all.
Ye was not disappointed, of course. This was how it should be. She raised her head to look at the sky, only to find that it was already noon.
Just as she was considering if she should find a place to fill her stomach, there was a sudden movement from the priest's stone house. Then, the guards and soldiers who were standing lazily at the door all straightened up. A moment later, chief Huo Yan and priest Lu Chen walked out together.
They walked side by side with calm expressions on their faces. They didn't even look at their surroundings as they walked towards the exit of the camp.
The surrounding guards followed them, but very quickly, the two of them waved their hands to signal the others not to follow them.
Everyone was stunned and stopped walking, looking at each other.
However, the status of these two big shots was simply too important. No matter who it was, they couldn't allow anything to happen to them. Thus, after opening up a distance, the guards still followed from afar under the lead of Tie Xiong and the others.
Looking ahead, Huo Yan and Lu Chen did not have much of a reaction, as if they did not care.
They walked all the way to the exit of the camp and stood side by side. In front of them was the vast wasteland illuminated by the noon sun. It was barren and vast, and there were specks of green in the yellow, as if it was a symbol of indomitable life.
The sky was azure, as if it had been washed by water. It looked like a beautiful and huge sapphire. When there was no one nearby, Lu Chen looked at the blue sky and suddenly asked, "Do you believe in God?"
"Of course." Huo Yan said matter-of-factly, "Our Black Fire Tribe has believed in God for generations. The Fire God is our ancestor and the source of our power. Everything in our tribe comes from the Fire God's gift to us. We are the descendants of the Fire God. "
Lu Chen nodded lightly and said, "But, as far as I know, almost all tribes have their own gods that they believe in. If this is true, then no matter how vast the sky is, it can't contain so many gods, right?"
Huo Yan's expression changed, and he said in a low voice, "What do you mean?"
"Most of the tribes in the wasteland live in the more fertile lands in the south. There are thousands of tribes, but how can there be so many Gods in this world? Also, as far as I know, there are at least dozens of different Gods that your tribes believe in. They all claim that there is only one God in the heavens and earth. of them. "
He turned his head and looked at Huo Yan with a smile that was not a smile. "So, among the countless tribes in this wasteland, there must be many people and tribes who are lying, right?"
Huo Yan seemed to be angry, but he quickly suppressed it. He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "What do you want to say to me?"
Lu Chen stared at him for a long time, and then slowly approached him. In a voice that only Huo Yan could hear, he said, word by word, "I don't believe in God!"
Huo Yan's face suddenly turned red, and his chest rose and fell violently. The sharp fangs in his mouth made a terrifying grinding sound. But even though he was so angry, he still surprisingly restrained his anger and did not attack the non-believer in front of him.
However, as a priest, Lu Chen did not have any intention of stopping. He continued to stare at the furious barbarian. His gaze was like a knife that could pierce through his soul. He said softly, "Isn't that right? With your intelligence and wisdom, it's impossible that you haven't thought about this for so many years, right?"
"You must have doubts in your heart, but it is impossible to say it in the tribe, right?"
"Because in all the lands of the Wasteland, there is no one who doesn't believe in God. If you say this, it means that no one will tolerate you, and everyone will kill you, right?"
Huo Yan suddenly let out a low roar. His eyes were faintly bloodshot, and his fangs straightened. One of his hands was already on the sharp hilt of the sword at his waist.
Lu Chen looked at his hand, and after a moment of silence, said, "Actually, from the beginning, I felt that it was too strange that you wanted to bring me back at all costs. Even if you used the will of God as an excuse, but at the beginning, I did not go through the test of the Fire God's altar. No one could be sure that the power in my body came from the Fire God. Moreover, I am not even a barbarian, but a human that has not appeared for thousands of years. "
"In your heart, there is an even more secret matter, right? Because in the depths of your heart, you are the only barbarian in thousands of years who dared to doubt God. That is why you wanted me to come here. You felt that I was the only person who could possibly doubt God. Only by doing so, perhaps you would not feel too lonely in your heart, or perhaps you would not be tormented by the lingering thoughts of 'yes' and 'no' until you go crazy. "
"Am I right, Huo Yan … chief?" Lu Chen looked into the eyes of the tall and burly barbarian, and calmly said.
…
"Follow me!" Huo Yan suddenly said to Lu Chen, and then strode into the Wasteland.
Lu Chen did not hesitate, and immediately followed. At this time, the guards who were still watching the two of them from afar in the tribe's camp, and were endlessly shocked by Huo Yan's strange actions and expressions, were about to run over, but were once again stopped by Huo Yan.
This time, Huo Yan's face was solemn, his expression stern, and he sternly scolded. Everyone was shocked, but in the end, they did not dare to disobey his orders. They stayed in the camp, and watched the two people walk into the depths of the Wasteland.
The two of them walked to a patch of wild grass.
The wild grass was yellow, and there was a hint of green in it. It rose and fell with the wind, desperately grabbing at the soil on the ground, and absorbing all the water and nutrients from the soil, so that it could persevere and survive.
Standing in this patch of wild grass, Huo Yan's expression became somewhat strange. It was unknown when the anger had disappeared from his face, but his gaze was exceptionally deep and reserved, as if there were countless secrets in his heart, pressing down on this barbarian to the point that he could not breathe.
"How is this place?"
Lu Chen looked around, and nodded, "Not bad."
Huo Yan turned his head to look at him, and said, "It is a good place to bury corpses."
Lu Chen smiled, and said, "Indeed."
After that, the two of them did not speak, and only looked at each other.
After an unknown period of time, Huo Yan suddenly opened his mouth, "You can obviously hide these words in your heart, and treat them as your secrets. Why did you say them to me?"
"Do you remember the method that I just told you about that might be able to control the priests and shamans?" Lu Chen said, "That method first requires one to not believe in the gods, and then one can clearly see the essence of witchcraft, and then find the loopholes. And at the same time, those who still believe in the power of the gods will turn a blind eye to this. Even if they are tightly controlled by you, they will not be able to resist. "
"How is it? With such a method, is it possible for you to betray your gods and beliefs? "
Huo Yan looked at him coldly, and pointed in the direction of the tribe's camp in the distance, and said, "Like those people who have been exterminated?"
"It's not the same. They still have to choose a god, but you completely do not believe in any of them. From now on, there will be no gods, no ancestors, and no restrictions or beliefs in your heart, only …" Lu Chen said. "Power!"
