Start a deserted grave

"(￣ω￣;) Uh... this..." Huang Fen looked up at the sky, thinking about how to make up nonsense to fool him.

After a long while, he slapped his thigh violently, and the man in steel armor was stunned for a moment.

I saw Huang Fen with a sad face, and said, "I don't think you are a bad person, brother, so I will tell you frankly...

In fact, I was hunted down by my enemies, and I accidentally lost my way while fleeing, so I came here..."

The man in steel armor nodded slightly: "So that's the case."

Huang Fen saw that the other party seemed to have been tricked, so he struck while the iron was hot, and continued: "It's very dangerous here, isn't it?"

The armored man nodded.

"Alone is more dangerous, right?"

The armored man nodded again.

"You're alone, aren't you?"

The armored man continued to nod.

"I'm alone, too, right?"

The man in steel armor was at a loss and nodded.

"So the two of us should go together as a team and take care of each other, right?"

The armored man nodded habitually, and then suddenly realized that he was about to wave his hand to reject Huang Fen's proposal, but Huang Fen had already grabbed his shoulder;
Huang Fen smiled and said first: "I said brother, you are a good person. You are right. As human beings, it is not easy to be outside. We should take care of each other!"

Huang Fen patted the other party's shoulder, and continued: "Since you said you want to protect me, brother, I just don't like to be favored in vain, so I will protect you too, so that the two of us will be evened! Don't be petty. Look at me, I'm strong~"

In this way, the man in steel armor became Huang Fen's bodyguard in a daze, and he even called it "caring for each other".

"Hey, brother, we haven't introduced each other yet, my name is..."

Huang Fen suddenly realized that he was in the western fantasy world, so he should adopt a pseudonym suitable for the occasion.

Ever since, he blurted out the first western name that came to his mind: "Harry Potter, you can call me Harry."

The man in steel armor was stunned for a moment, and said in a dull tone, "Ellie..."

He seemed to suddenly realize that he had said something wrong, and quickly corrected him: "Lothar, you can call me Lothar, or the monster killer."

As if afraid of Huang Fen's misunderstanding, he added: "Sorry, no one has asked my name for a long time...

They all like to call me a monster killer directly, so that I almost forgot what my original name was, hehe..."

His last wry smile was so bitter in Huang Fen's ears.

"Ai Li, who is that? Could it be his former lover?" Huang Fen murmured in his heart, but did not ask.

The air was suddenly quiet, and the atmosphere became a little delicate.

Huang Fen asked again, breaking the awkward silence,
"Where are we going next?"

The armored man Lothar pointed to the right, and said, "About two hours more, there is a village over there. I'm going to resupply, and then go to hunt down the lizardmen."

He looked at Huang Fen, "It's no exaggeration to say that the village is isolated from the rest of the world. Your enemies shouldn't be able to find them. You can stay there."

Huang Fen resolutely shook his head and refused,

"Then how can I do it, the crusade against the lizardmen is such a dangerous thing, how can I rest assured that you will go alone!"

Before he finished speaking, he noticed that Lothar's body stiffened uncomfortably, but he soon returned to normal.

Huang Fen thought: "Could it be that the armor has pierced it?"

However, Lothar didn't seem to appreciate it, and said firmly: "I'm used to being alone, and I will be tied up if I take you with me. You can stay in the village and don't make trouble for me."

He originally thought that Huang Fen would refuse straight away, but still insisted on going with him;

But it never occurred to him that Huang Fen readily agreed.

"Okay, then I'll stay in the village so you won't be distracted~"

The two walked for more than an hour, and the smoke from the village could already be seen in the distance.

During this section of the road, Huang Fen kept insinuating various information about the world from Lothar;

For example, the type and strength of magical creatures;
Through Lothar's mouth, he knew that although there is magic in this world, the person who can use magic is only one in a thousand;

Only those who can communicate with magic innately can practice magic.

And everyone has their own unique "magic context", and the types of magic they can learn are also different.

Huang Fen thought that Lothar was so strong that he must know magic, but unexpectedly he denied it, saying that he was just an ordinary person;

This answer was beyond Huang Fen's expectation, but it was also reasonable.

Huang Fen also learned that in this world, human beings are not the absolute masters;
On this continent, there used to be seven countries that believed in different gods;
Originally, these countries lived in peace, and the world was peaceful;

But 30 years ago, a war broke out between the gods;

A large part of those gods who were originally so powerful that mortals could not imagine fell in this battle.

Those countries that lost their belief in gods also lost their protection;

After the war, those countries were all annexed by other countries;

Today, there are only two countries left on this continent;

Camelot Kingdom: Believe in the God of Victory system, advocate peaceful development, and occupy the northern continent.

Setting Sun Empire: Believe in the God of War system, advocating war and plunder, occupying the southern continent and coastal areas.

Since the establishment of the two countries, there have been constant disputes;

Sometimes, even the gods of the two factions will fight, and the common people will live in dire straits.

Many magical creatures such as goblins and lizardmen also took this opportunity to grow and annex the territory that originally belonged to humans.

These creatures have evil gods they believe in;
Those evil gods are different from the orthodox gods. They are depraved, bloodthirsty, and need life to be sacrificed to please their empty hearts.

The monsters are killing civilians crazily, but the two countries have been fighting each other all year round, and they are too busy to take care of themselves, so they can't be distracted to clear these monsters.

Those people living on the edge can only take up their own weapons to fight against those disgusting monsters.

Lothar is a group of people who grew up in this environment. He devoted his whole life to expelling monsters, and he did not hesitate to give up everything for this.

According to his words, "The two factions will eventually lose both. Soon, human beings will completely lose the protection of the gods. At that time, we must unite as one to survive under the threat of monsters."

However, Huang Fen was a little puzzled. He remembered that when he first came here, the reminder clearly stated that there were only "half-gods" in this world, and there were no gods.

"Could it be... those so-called gods are actually just demigods?"

Such doubts appeared in Huang Fen's mind.

In fact, he was right in thinking, the reason why those so-called "gods" who are so high above will start the war is because they are fighting for one thing;
That is - God position.
