Chapter 233 The Castle of The Gods

As I watched the castle, the monsters stopped behind. It's like a bunch of superior people staring at a guy who doesn't know anything.

The broad road, though rising straight up the hill, was punctuated by steps at its steep points. Growers on both sides of a canopy type of trees, like a green kiosk. Surrounded by tall dense forest castle, the radius of the vast, numerous buildings, from a distance like a city in the mountains.

After watching for a while, I looked back and asked, "Is this the Temple of Heaven?"

Several people laughed and beckoned the line forward.

I asked again as WE went up the main road. The monster who first approached me said, "This is where we live. The Temple is still under construction."

I nodded. "Now you're taking me to the gods."

He shook his head: "how is it possible to meet a god like this, there will be a special reception for you. You will see the gods when they want to see you."

"Can I see the Virgin then?"

"Why do you want to see the virgin?" "Asked the monster in golden armor.

I immediately knew something was wrong, and I looked at the first monster I had contact with. He winked at me to stop talking.

We walked for the better part of an hour along the long mountain path before we reached the city gate. Beneath the tall gate was a heavy iron wall.

The men above stuck the iron gate up so we could get in.

The inside is not flat, but a series of circular steps that rise gradually, each of them hundreds of meters wide, and the higher up the building the better. They are all Western style buildings, very Gothic and Romanesque.

The stairs, which were on the same level as the gate, were built with large houses, and the people who moved about were monstrous men in armor.

We walked to a big house and the ogre dismounted together.

"Chief, here we are." The Ogre man said, "We need to count the soldiers and the long-necked beasts every time we come back."

"What should I do?" I have no fear of being alone in the enemy's camp that is absolutely false.

"I'll stay and wait for whoever will receive you." "The chief need not worry about this," he said. "We should have sent the message."

I thanked him and, as the others began to leave, asked his name.

"My name is North Louie. You can call me North."

"North." I read it over, anxious that I didn't have anything good on me to bond with him.

"You will be well received here." North said placidly.

I nodded, but couldn't help asking, "Why did the guy react so surprised when I asked about the virgin?"

"We have dozens of them here," he explained. They... I advise you, chief, not to mention the virgin when you have met the god, or you may get yourself into serious trouble."

"You lied to me?" My anger rushed up at once.

North shook his head calmly. "No, the man you're looking for is here, but you didn't ask me anything else."

I was speechless that this guy was playing this little game with me. Even though he knew he was being cheated, there was no turning back.

But my origin, since can get the favor of god, think of the future to find the opportunity to see Li Wanxue will not be more difficult.

After waiting many ten minutes, a few men in white descended from above, white from head to shoe, like clerical clerks or ghosts who dare to wander in the sun.

Up close, only their eyes were exposed, pale green eyes, a bit weird.

North washed away the white man in front of him and went down on one knee to report my identity.

The chief man in white nodded and began to look at me.

I looked at them, too. There were five of them, and the last two were obviously women.

"Please come with us." He nodded. He was a middle-aged man with a deep, lifeless voice.

I said goodbye to North and followed them up. Each flight of stairs dropped twenty or thirty metres, and we made our way up two steps. The second was the widest, with houses crowded with people in civilian clothes. But I didn't have time to look twice before they urged me to keep going up. At last, on the third step, there appeared the normal humans, all brown and better looking than the ogre. The area they live in is separated from the monster's by a layer of iron bars several meters high.

In appearance, they are a typical black and white mixed race. There was no sense of citizenship in them; they were all well-groomed and dignified. But without exception all the eyes are exposed.

Here we turned and passed them, and they completely ignored me. The entry of an outsider could not stir a ripple between them.

I followed several men in white into a two-story building. Every house here has a rounded, pointed roof painted in a variety of colors, but mostly white.

When I entered the room, the chief man in white said, "Chief, this is the place where we have arranged for you. I will serve you for the rest of your time."

I nodded without even wanting to say thank you.

When he had moved aside, two men in white stood guard at the door. He bowed and turned and went out. Then the door slammed shut.

"What do you mean? Arrest me?" I asked the two women in white, pointing to the door.

Both looked only at me, and though their eyes were clever, there was no color in them.

They look like idiots, I don't want to talk. Took a look around the room. The ground floor is a living room with a fireplace and chairs. I went straight up the stairs to the second floor. On the second floor is a room with a toilet. Two chairs and a round bed. The color of the whole room is also white.

Although we haven't seen enough of the Castle of The Gods, we can already see the rigid hierarchy here.

I went straight to the bed and fell down. Two women in white stood at the window, respectful and quiet.

Lying down for a while, I found myself a little uncomfortable, and I had no time or opportunity to take a bath all the way. Holding a guess to open the toilet door, there is not only a tap inside, there is a big bathtub. I'm not surprised these things are coming up. Because the West has been using this stuff for hundreds of years.

Unfortunately, all the water coming out of the pipe was cold water, so I thought I'd make do. A woman in white suddenly approached and asked, "Chief, are you going to take a bath?"

I said, "Please wait a moment. We'll get you some water right now."

"Cold or hot?"

"Hot water, of course."

"Go on, then."

God knows what's gonna happen to me the rest of my time here. Of course, if you can enjoy it, you have to enjoy it more.

Two women in white quickly brought hot water in a sort of tin bucket.

One woman was pouring hot water into a bathtub when her thigh got wet. She screamed with pain and poured the water in before reaching out and rubbing it.

I walk up, pretend to be concerned of ask a way: "have scald?"

She raised her head and looked at me in astonishment. After a few moments, she shook her head.

Another woman went to turn on the tap and run cold water to adjust the temperature. Ask to scalded woman to say: "in a moment when I take a bath, the room is empty, you check under the scalding place, don't hurt."

She didn't even respond. After adjusting the water temperature, the other woman said, "You can take a bath, Chief."

I edged out the door. "You go out."

The two women looked at each other and offered to help me undress. Such a good thing, let me feel some uncomfortable, pushed away their hands and said: "No, I do it on my own. You go outside and rest."

They bowed and went out together and shut the door behind them. I locked it from the inside and hid the gun and bullets under the bathtub. I'd be surprised if he confiscated it after meeting the god.

After taking a bath, I returned to my room and saw two women still standing by the window respectfully. I knew they were here, watching my every move, in addition to taking care of me. He lay down directly on the bed.

For a long time, neither of them moved as still as puppets.

Feeling hungry, I asked, "Can you go get me something to eat?"
