Abyss Game: I am covered with cheats
#314 - Chapter 314: Lord Sacrifice
"Welcome back to the City of Purity, Brave Hero," a priestess wearing divine robes said, kneeling on one knee before Xu Tong. "Your return is sure to uplift the morale of our people and become a great help in our fight against the demonic forces."
Xu Tong reached out his hand. "Please, rise. I feel uncomfortable when you all do this."
The priestess looked up, gazing at Xu Tong with a puzzled expression.
Xu Tong asked, "What's wrong?"
The priestess hesitated for a moment, then stammered, "It's just... you seem different..."
Whether it was Xu Tong, or Pei Wenyu and Shen Yu behind him, they were all taken aback.
Xu Tong was a fake hero, and if the people of the City of Purity found out, they would probably be kicked out.
The main quest hadn't even been triggered yet; they couldn't afford any complications.
"Oh? Then tell me, how exactly am I different?"
The priestess blushed, covering half of her face with her sleeve. "It's just... every time you came to see me... your hands were quite..."
Xu Tong: "..."
Shen Yu stepped forward and gently patted Xu Tong on the shoulder.
"Brave Hero, I didn't expect you to have such preferences."
Putting aside everything else, the priestess looked to be at least fifty or sixty years old. Even if the hero had disappeared a month ago, her age wouldn't have changed much.
The original hero was into older women!
I can't bring myself to do it!
"However, it's even better that you're like this," the priestess said with a smile. "The people will surely prefer a more serious hero."
Xu Tong cleared his throat. "That's right, I have no interest in you. Can you send someone younger and prettier..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yu Yumi's scabbard was already pressed against Xu Tong's waist.
Shen Yu wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, the expression he was holding back made his face turn red.
Xu Tong glanced at him, then said, "My son likes men, arrange something for him."
Shen Yu: "What the heck!"
The priestess smiled slightly and gestured for the three of them to enter. "Please, come in. Regent Lord has been waiting for a long time."
According to the scarred man, the king of the human kingdom had died of illness, and the regent was now in charge of the overall situation, responsible for issuing various orders.
He was practically half a king.
The area occupied by the entire City of Purity was not large; it could only be considered a large city.
It was surrounded by towering walls, which seemed to contain some strange power that could protect the city from the encroachment of the demonic race.
But it seemed that as time went by, the power on the city walls gradually weakened, turning little by little into an ordinary wall.
The entire City of Purity had four gates. The gate that Xu Tong and the others entered was the north gate; there were still the west, south, and east gates.
There was nothing worth discussing in depth about the internal city. It was somewhat similar to a medieval city, but some parts were unusually modern, as if they had received some knowledge that did not belong to their era.
At this time, Xu Tong and the others were in the center of the City of Purity, the largest temple, or rather, church.
In the magnificent lobby, a huge throne stood on the steps. Xu Tong and the others followed the guidance of the priestess and arrived here, looking at the throne on the steps. They saw a stern man sitting on the throne, looking down at the three people at his feet.
"You, are you the hero who has been out of contact for a long time?"
Now that things had reached this point, there was no point in clarifying his identity, so Xu Tong nodded and admitted, "Yes, I am the hero who has been out of contact for a long time."
The regent frowned, and did not speak for a long time.
"The king died just before you returned to the City of Purity, and those who knew the hero's true identity died. It's hard for me not to suspect that this is a trap set by the demonic race."
Now the territory of mankind has been forced to this corner of the continent, and any small mistake may lead to their destruction.
Therefore, the regent had to take Xu Tong seriously and try to find all the flaws in him.
But, to be honest, although Xu Tong had not shown any powerful characteristics related to the hero, there was only one thing that Xu Tong did very well.
That was that he did not reveal any flaws.
This person was like a net, enveloping everyone around him. They only needed to find a gap in this net to leave, so they wouldn't drown in it.
But this net was airtight, and they couldn't find any gaps at all, so it enveloped the whole world.
After pondering for a moment, the regent said, "Perhaps, identifying your identity should not be done by me."
"Only divine revelation can know whether you are the real hero."
Divine revelation?
Shen Yu immediately became nervous when he heard this. Leaving aside what the process of divine revelation was, if it could really identify the hero's true identity, then the three of them would suffer.
They were fake heroes!
Xu Tong was not worried at all, and replied, "Okay, then let's do it. Anyway, I am the hero, I won't lie to you about that."
Pei Wenyu walked to Xu Tong's side and whispered, "Do you need help?"
"No, you guys just wait here," Xu Tong waved his hand, took two steps forward, and walked up the steps. "Just leave my two companions here, they won't cause any problems."
The regent did not refuse, but beckoned the priestess to come over.
"If you are really the hero, you should know what the so-called divine revelation is," the priestess walked over, even explaining the matter to Xu Tong. "That priest who represents the divine adult knows the wisdom of the gods and will make the right judgment."
"The survival of our City of Purity is also thanks to the help of that priest."
Xu Tong nodded. "You don't need to explain so much, just take me to see that person."
Seeing Xu Tong so confident, the priestess also began to doubt whether Xu Tong was really the legendary hero.
Soon, under the leadership of the priestess, Xu Tong came to an unusually remote room in the temple.
Pushing the door open, the priestess did not dare to enter the room, but only bowed slightly, leaving half of the passage open for Xu Tong.
Xu Tong did not refuse and walked straight in.
At the very beginning, Xu Tong's body gave some hints.
[Your nose seems to have caught a familiar scent in the conversation with the regent. The divine revelation mentioned by the regent seems to be an existence that was once related to you]
Since it was an existence familiar to Xu Tong, there was nothing to fear.
Putting aside everything else, Xu Tong was quite popular. Apart from the time dominator, who for some reason was so hostile to him, he had not made any enemies.
At least, among the people he knew, there was no one who was particularly hostile to him.
But Xu Tong did not know for the time being what those enemies who were hiding their hostility and lurking in the dark were going to do.
Especially, the voices he heard after he used the flesh dice.
Walking into the room, Xu Tong raised his head. What came into view was an unremarkable room.
Of course, compared to normal rooms, the decoration of this room was still very luxurious, and even the floor was covered with a layer of tiger skin carpet.
A person was sitting on the soft sofa, holding a tall wine glass in his hand. It was unknown whether it contained red wine or blood.
Xu Tong's eyes focused on the person on the sofa, and he frowned slightly.
"It's strange to see you here. Shouldn't you be staying in your broken castle?"
Hearing this, Mr. Duck turned his neck, which was as thick as his shoulders, and looked at Xu Tong.
"If you say that the Space Dominator's mansion is a broken castle again, I have to pull out all your teeth."
