After getting permission, Harrow was temporarily taken in by the rental house and lived in a delivery carton at the door.
Not that he minded. When it was wandering outside, it didn’t even have a cardboard box, especially in winter, this place is still much warmer and cosier than the streets.
At noon on the day of its stay, Harrow held a bowl in its mouth and formally applied to Lu Yao: “Mr Enlightened One, I demand to eat at the table!”
“Your Apostles all dine at the table, I am a full-fledged Sebelius, with a similar status to the Apostles in the Underworld, I request for the same treatment.”
Lu Yao was eating shredded potatoes over rice, and choked his throat at its words, hurriedly taking the glass of water handed by Isabelle and pouring a mouthful to moisten his throat.
Turning back to his senses, he saw that Harrow had already been choked by the Blood Knight and pressed against the wall.
The knight said emotionlessly, “Damned for disturbing your lord’s meal.”
The tyrant also sneered from the side, “Get your identity right, a prisoner of war has no right to make demands.”
Harrow struggled to open his mouth, still pleading, “Even a captive has dignity. I demand to be treated as a captive as I deserve ……”
Isabel said to the three-headed dog of hell on the wall, “What a captive gets is up to the will of the victor. The Lord Gods only give treatment to their own, and unfortunately you are not one of them.”
“……”
Harrow trailed off.
The Blood Knight asked for instructions, “My lord, do we execute the dog?”
“I am not a dog! I declare again!”
Harrow wailed excitedly, “I am Sebelius! I am the Keeper of the Gates of the Underworld!”
The Blood Knight’s iron fingers moved upwards, locking the three-headed dog’s upper and lower jaws in a death grip, causing its voice to turn into a whimpering wail.
Lu Yao wiped his mouth with a tissue, “I hear your request. But rights and obligations have always needed to be reciprocated, and respect isn’t given out of thin air, it’s earned.”
“You helped Silkworm Bush on this trip, so I’ll allow you to be here for now.”
“But you want better treatment, then you need to show value accordingly.”
Harrow’s doggy eyes rolled as he listened, as if he wanted to say something.
Lu Yao spoke, “Let it speak.”
The Blood Knight let go.
Harrow landed on the ground and sneezed several times in succession, “Don’t you want to recruit the ghosts of the Pathway God Kingdom? Although I don’t dare to say I have a way, I can tell you what troubles are involved.”
“Ghosts passing through the rule power guidance of one world after another will form an invisible rule channel, and this channel is outside the world borders. That is to say, even if the apparition passes through a certain world, it will only stop briefly at the outer wall of the world, and will leave at the touch of a button, like a small stone hitting a mountain, and will immediately bounce away.”
It opened its mouth, “It is impossible for you to obtain this batch of ghosts directly.”
“The only possible way is to modify the rules behind the world to partially change the external passage to go through the interior of the world, and only the initiates can do that.”
“On top of that, there are time constraints.”
“The Ghosts only stay in the world of the pathway for a few moments, and the passage time cannot be changed. You would do well to consider that it might be useful to place the passage nodes in places that will attract and retain them.”
Harrow’s tone became confident and composed as he talked about his deep-rooted field.
“As a veteran Sebelius who has guarded the gates of the Underworld for many years, I know that once ghosts enter the Underworld passageway, most of them fall asleep or fall into a hazy trance.”
“Even if they make their way to your divine kingdom, the vast majority of them are unresponsive, and it would be a very rare accident to leave a single apparition behind.”
This intelligence was indeed very helpful.
Lu Yao immediately said, “Give Harrow a chair.”
The Blood Knight who had also beaten up the fallen dog earlier served a plastic chair and placed it on the corner of the dining table.
Harrow jumped onto the stool with his head held high and nodded to the Blood Knight, “Thank you.”
Enjoying the right to eat at the table, Harrow became formal instead. It licked its paws and looked left and right, somewhat hesitant about the way to eat.
After Isabelle received Lu Yao’s permission, she used the male chopsticks to serve it a bit of each dish.
“Taste it, it’s made by Little Fire.”
Harrow looked grateful, “Thank you, Miss Isabelle!”
It then brought its head to the plate, nibbling and chewing in small bites, extremely mindful of its image.
Lu Yao also picked up his chopsticks once again.
Apostles dined in different ways and styles.
The Blood Knight symbolically stuck a little bit of each dish with his fork and stuffed it from his helmet into his armour to indicate that the meal was finished.
Isabelle was now proficient in using chopsticks, and when she saw Lu Yao’s favourite dishes, she would even take the initiative to help him pinch the food, which could be described as a considerate little helper.
When Tyrant saw Isabelle’s appearance, her eyes revealed undisguised dislike and dissatisfaction.
She removed her white bone covered helmet with antlers, and inside was a doll-like face.
Unlike Isabel’s slightly dull teenage aura, Sarina’s gaze was sharp, and her entire person exuded a sense of coldness that made her unapproachable.
All of Sarina’s meals were shallow. She sits in a straight posture, lifting her hands and throwing her feet in an elegant and restrained manner, just like her nickname, with the aristocratic temperament of living in the court.
Lu Yao suddenly remembered something.
“Harrow, you’ve been over here for many years, haven’t the other initiates ever discovered you?”
Harrow nodded, “Yes.”
“I had a brief contact with two of the Enlightened Ones.”
Harrow stared at the bowl and plate, his gaze drifting as if he was caught up in long ago memories, “The first initiator was called Liu Gonggan, he was a royal family, and many people later called him the King of Huainan.”
“King Huainan wanted to implement a nationwide advance into the Void Aegis in the Han Empire, pretending to hide the Void Aegis in the form of square cultivation, and secretly brought a lot of people from the Real Aegis to descend into the Divine Kingdom …… This made me feel very uneasy, so I left his royal residence.”
“He later failed and was pursued by other initiates.”
“I heard that Liu Gongguan eventually escaped and sailed into the depths of the Void Zeus with the Divine Kingdom. Before leaving, he took many people as well as various beings ……”
Lu Yao listened with interest.
The allusion to King Liu An of Huainan’s Chicken and Doggy turned out to be behind this.
“The second initiator was in the west, I remember he was called …… Henry Moore. It should be this pronunciation.”
This name was unfamiliar to Lu Yao.
Harrow continued, “Unlike a practitioner like King Huai Nan, Henry was an initiator who leaned more towards theoretical scholarship, and he spent his life researching the untouchable Ultra Limit Zone, as well as envisioning the Creator behind the Ultra Limit Zone.”
“He proposed a number of conjectures, including ‘the Creator is invisible,’ ‘space transcends matter,’ ‘space is everywhere.”The Creator has some connection with space to ensure presence with all things’ …… These are names I remember quite a bit now.”
“Henry kept setting sail for the Kingdom of God to hit the theoretical boundaries of the Ultra Zone, wanting to come up with more proof of the correlation, which ultimately led to his own weakening and destruction.”
The three-headed dog of hell suddenly remembered something, and he ran his tongue over his nose, “Henry was a recluse, he spent most of his time at Cambridge University in the 17th century, but one of his students you should have heard of.”
“That student was called Isaac Newton.”
Lu Yao was really taken aback this time.
It was actually Newton’s mentor.
“But since Henry, I haven’t met any more initiates. The Enlightened Ones in this world have become few and far between, and I think even if some of them are hiding, the overall number is shrinking.”
Harrow scratched his ears with his paw, “It should be the binding brought about by the change of epochs, forcing the initiates to either leave or go into hiding.”
After the meal was finished, Harrow hopped off the stool and returned to the doorway cardboard box and plopped down for a nap.
Little Fire began to clear the table and dishes.
Lu Yao, on the other hand, turned his gaze to the monitor.
There was a new alert in the simulator.
–A believer has sprouted wisdom beyond its peers, is it necessary to transform it into a prophet?
[Yes] [No
Lu Yao clicked on the reminder bar.
The screen immediately jumped to the Western Continent under the Egil’s Fire.
Deep beneath the volcano, a shimmering light emanated from a mass of black mud.
Lu Yao sighed in his heart.
How come the Yao Prophet’s form was getting weirder and weirder?
The black devil, this living oil, has not only produced faith, but has also sprouted wisdom ……
One can only say that it wants to progress too much.
