I am a Taoist priest in the extraordinary world

Chapter 40 I Understand
"Great existence, I understand."

In the dimly lit room, Richard regained his own facial features, his expression was extraordinarily pious, and his tone contained awe that could not be concealed.

great?What do you understand? Dante really wanted to ask, but considering the current "personal design", he just showed a silent and reserved smile.

"Your appearance is a peek at this world in a dream, to clean up the filth and disturbance of this world, and to re-establish your own rules and order."

"You manifested in the form of a human, and you chose this lucky man from the Ashburn family because you wanted to have a pleasant dream while you were sleeping."

Richard seemed to be possessed by a demon, like the most devout believer, chattering endlessly. After completing his self-brainwashing, he didn't even dare to look directly at the "great" existence in front of him.

Dante was speechless, looking at Richard who had completely changed his appearance in front of him, he couldn't say anything for a while.

Are you a bit overdue
He had imagined a variety of scenarios just now, and the first one that has been ruled out is that the opponent is directly and completely bluffed.

He even thought about how to gain the other party's trust step by step, and how to kill him in case of exposure.

But no matter how much he imagined, he never thought that this scene would appear.

Is he out of his mind?

Why does he call me a great existence?
who am I?
I am dreaming?

I chose Ashburn and came to this hellish world just to have a pleasant dream?

but,

Although his brain can't react now, and he is in a downtime state of being shocked by the other party, this does not affect Dante's short, default syllable following the other party's words:
"kindness"

Seeing that the "great" existence in front of him stopped speaking after only uttering one syllable, Richard subconsciously reflected on whether it was because he was too straightforward and hasty, which caused his dissatisfaction after puncturing the other party's purpose.

The gods cannot be spied on and guessed
He suddenly remembered this famous saying circulated by the church, and his soul began to tremble again inexplicably, especially when he saw the "great" existence suddenly raised that terrible left hand again, he hurriedly shouted:

"I am willing to dedicate my most humble soul to you, please forgive my previous disrespect and arrogance!"

kindness?
Dante, who just wanted to touch his nose to cover up his awkward silence, stopped his palm in mid-air, and slowly put it back on the chair.

He didn't speak in a hurry, because he knew that every sentence he said would affect the image in the other party's mind, and if he said something wrong, all his previous efforts might be wasted.

But from Richard's point of view, the "great" existence put down his hand, which meant that he had escaped for the time being, and the other party's silence was obviously waiting for his next statement.

As the Lionheart King who was able to step from the branch of the family to the king's position abruptly, he was a person who would not miss any chance in his bones. He seemed to have made up his mind, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and said cruelly:

"I hope to follow in your footsteps, to be your forerunner, to be your hunting dog. I will always obey your will. I want to be your most loyal servant in this world!"

Dante was completely stunned this time.

He couldn't hold back his expression for a moment.

If it weren't for the fact that the face on the badge had closed its eyes and was very serious at this time, he seriously doubted that the other party would have noticed the clue.

servant
Your Majesty, have you been dead for too long, so even your IQ has dropped?
Dante couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, and realized that the other party should have successfully fallen into a misunderstanding at this time.
Taking the opportunity, he began to think about the pros and cons,
If you agree to the other party, there will be an extra servant with rich experience, who can provide guidance and help for yourself in all aspects,

But the disadvantages are also obvious. Being able to fool for a while now does not mean that you can continue to fool. If one day the other party finds out that he is a "fake", he will definitely usher in extremely terrible revenge.

He does have the means to temporarily restrain the other party, but he is not sure what is different about the so-called gate of hell, and what it means,
Moreover, that was a former Ninth-level Extraordinary, no matter how humble he behaved now, he couldn't ignore this objective fact.

but if you don't agree
Wouldn't that show that I'm actually not confident enough?
He was thinking quietly, tapping the back of the chair lightly, making a slight "da da" sound in the room.

However, hearing this voice in Richard's ears, it was undoubtedly a kind of torment like waiting for a verdict. After a long time, a kind of self-doubt came into being.

Does such an existence as He really need the service of an "ant" like me?
Could it be that I will never be able to escape from this shackle?
It is not to blame for Richard's various psychological changes at this time. As the Lionheart King who was once complacent, he stood at the peak of human beings and brazenly launched an impact on the realm of the gods. At that time, he was fearless, confident, and powerful.

But the moment he touched the badge and tried to open the so-called gate of hell, the cold and huge pure energy from the etheric world almost destroyed his will.

Unlike the stories in the legends of later generations, he was not actually destroyed out of control because he forcibly absorbed too much ether.
It was the ether energy, which almost destroyed everything about him in an instant, and it was too late to absorb it, and it didn't allow him to do anything at all.

At the last moment when he was on the verge of losing control, he glimpsed the appearance of a certain god inside the gate of hell.

It was a form of existence that ordinary people couldn't understand at all. He just saw it, and a strong urge to gouge out his eyeballs rose in his heart.

It was also at that moment that he finally understood the gap between humans and gods. It was not a simple problem of one plus one equals two, but a distance between the universe and ants that could never be caught up.

As a result, his soul was sucked into the emblem, and in another way, his wish to reach the etheric world was realized.

After hundreds of years of ignorance, trapped at the entrance of the gate of hell, suffering unimaginable mental torture every day and night,
Those howls and whispers that continuously affect the soul body, those cruel scenes that can be seen as long as you open your eyes,
Let him finally believe that this is the price of blasphemy.

Until the last time, Badge suddenly inhaled a fresh soul again, he seized this precious opportunity, like a drowning ghost, devoured it frantically,
Through this, he possessed the memory that belonged to Kyle Olevine, supplemented a little bit of the incompleteness of the soul, and then his consciousness gradually became clear.

Until Dante reopened the badge today, he wanted to repeat the same trick to lure and devour the soul of the opponent, but he never thought that this is an existence that is also beyond all his imagination.

Therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to seek his own salvation.

At the moment when Richard became more and more desperate as he thought more and more, the "great" existence in front of the desk seemed to have finally finished thinking, and spoke slowly:
"You need a mark."
