Chapter 223: Confess everything
"The real purpose?!"
The girl's sudden solemn look made Marco's face full of confusion and confusion. He subconsciously glanced at the black dragon Xiaobai next to him, and said with a strange expression.
"Sir Ariel, your purpose of going into the depths of the abyss is not to gain experience in fighting the legendary monsters? As for Xiaobai, maybe it is to meet Ms. Volna?"
He said it quite euphemistically, and normally it should be. Didn't you just go to the depths of the abyss to find someone to fight with, and didn't Xiaobai just go to have a private meeting with his old lover?
A militant who likes to fight, a scumbag who always shows mercy, a traveler who doesn't care about anything...
This combination is somewhat strange.
"..."
Hearing what the other party said, Ariel could obviously understand his subtext. She immediately glared at him angrily and said.
"That's just a passing reason. We actually have another purpose in going to the depths of the valley."
Marco, who was afraid of offending someone and being bombed like a certain dragon, smiled sincerely, then walked down the slope and asked.
"Um...what is that?"
"Before I tell you our true purpose, I have to ask you a question."
The girl's expression turned serious again, and after lifting the other person's heart, she spoke slowly.
"Do you believe that there is another world besides ours? Similarly, apart from us living in this world, do you believe that there are people in other worlds?"
In fact, these words are somewhat challenging to people's common sense. For modern people in this world, everyone has heard about alien planets and aliens, so naturally it is not too surprising.
But that’s because people in this world have been baptized by information in the era of the information explosion. If you try it with an ancient person, they will definitely call you “immortal~” when they hear about aliens.
In this world, the development of magic, martial arts, and this kind of extraordinary power far exceeds that of the current world, but it can be achieved through the education at the grassroots level and among the general public.
But there is a huge difference. Even most common people and the lower class in this world are still at the cultural level of the modern Middle Ages. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as ignorant.
Didn’t you see that the girl next to you, Anna, who was born into a poor family, widened her eyes when she heard about the other world, and she felt shocked that her world view was shattered?
This is how most people in this world react when they hear about other worlds and people from other worlds.
but……
"Oh~ I understand, you are talking about visitors from another world, right? Lady Ariel."
However, Marco's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations. He showed a look of surprise when he heard about the different world, and then said without exception.
"Uh...right."
Now it was Ariel's turn to be confused. She looked at the young man in front of her in surprise. She didn't expect that the other man even knew about it. This was something that could not be explained by simply being well-informed.
"But how did you know about visitors from another world? Where did you hear this term?"
If it weren't for the fact that everyone was already acquainted with each other, the girl would have doubted him again now. Because this is really not something that can be known about the other person's background and identity.
Even Ariel at the beginning, who was from the Duke of Melos family, actually had never heard of information or rumors about visitors from another world before she met Bai Wan.
Even this vocabulary (language from another world) was taught to her by a pale simultaneous translator.
The girl was able to accept this fact mainly because she was born as a magician. She has a strong ability to accept all kinds of magical and mysterious things.
But why does Marco know this? He can even say the term "visitor from another world"...
"Hey... what about Marco, are you the legendary 'traveler'?"
Ariel looked at Marco with some suspicion, and then asked hesitantly. After being influenced and baptized by modern culture, she did learn about the existence of "travelers" from some novels.
And it happens that many novels and fantasy works have time travelers as the protagonists. In addition, Wanwan said he was the protagonist before, and the other party knows a lot of things that he shouldn't know.
Putting it this way, is it possible that the young man really traveled from this world...or a parallel world similar to this world?
Thinking that the other person's body, which looks like a teenager, may be the soul of an uncle who is several decades old. The girl's expression can't help but feel a little weird. Of course, she is not discriminating against time travellers.
With an open mind, she really doesn't care whether the other person is a time traveler or not. What she cares more about is whether this person is worth getting to know deeply. As for Marco, at least judging from his previous performance...
Hmm... Even though I'm a bit hot-blooded, it's not a big problem.
"What are you thinking about? If he is a time traveler, can I still not see it?"
Before the young man could speak, the white man next to him heard such an outrageous guess and was the first to spit it out. Don't forget that he has the ability to penetrate people's minds. What kind of time traveler did the other party have?
Already in his eyes, there is nothing to hide from, right?
"Um... Sir Ariel, I guess I am not the time traveler you mentioned. Because I don't even understand what you mean by time traveler."
Marco said with a wry smile after hearing this. Just like he didn't understand certain worldly words before, he was also confused by the word "traveler".
"Then where did you learn the term 'visitor from another world'?"
Ariel asked quite seriously. She stared at the young man in front of her closely, and was very curious about what kind of background he had, so that he could even know this.
"I heard this term from my teacher. Of course, I was equally shocked when I first learned that there was a world outside the world and visitors from another world."
The young man explained honestly. Of course, his last words were to the girl Anna next to him, who was still in shock.
"Teacher, who are you? You are so awesome."
Now the girl was really intrigued by him, the so-called teacher.
"Sorry, I really can't say this. And strictly speaking, I'm not yet the teacher's disciple, but he taught me some things."
Marco was also quite embarrassed.
"Forget it, it's okay. I won't embarrass you. Since you know about the visitors from another world, it will be easy for me to explain our purpose to you in detail."
Seeing this, Ariel did not press the question, her expression returned to normal again, and she spoke slowly.
"Actually, the real purpose of our coming to the Abyss Valley is related to a visitor from another world...or strictly speaking, it is a foreign god who invaded our world!"
"What?!"
The boy and Anna, who had no idea, were shocked when they heard the explanation.
…
The girl then explained in detail to the two of them the anomalies in the power of chaos in the abyss and the possibility of invasion by foreign gods. She even did not hide the identity of Bai Bai as a visitor from a foreign land.
Up until this moment, Wanwan and others and Marco had truly treated each other calmly. This also meant that they truly regarded each other as companions.
Well...although the strength of these two companions is more or less weak.
"Is that so... I didn't expect that there are gods from other worlds in places we can't see, and they are eyeing our world."
The young man's expression at this moment was more solemn than ever before. He already had a strong sense of justice and responsibility. How could he not be moved after hearing about such a catastrophe that could destroy the world?
"Yes, this is exactly why I am worried. After I heard about the 'Ancient God Sect' you mentioned, I couldn't help but feel something inexplicably familiar after thinking about it..."
Ariel's expression was equally solemn and serious.
"Especially when you mentioned the appearance of the two guys who accepted the power of the sect. I have a vague feeling that they may be very similar to the previous monsters that were eroded by the power of chaos."
"you mean……"
At this point, Marco clearly understood what she meant.
"Yes."
The girl nodded and expressed her conclusion seriously.
"I seriously doubt that this 'Old God' sect is the sect that believes in that otherworldly god. Perhaps this sect itself is the condensation of the power eroded by the other party."
"I see……"
Marco murmured to himself, and suddenly he seemed to understand instantly and spoke hurriedly.
"If that's the case, the other party obtained the human population through those slave traders. Maybe it was really used for evil sacrifices, specially used to sacrifice to the so-called 'ancient god'?"
"I have indeed thought of this just now."
Ariel nodded and glanced at Anna, the girl next to her who was already feeling uneasy. After hesitating for a moment, she decided not to hide anything anymore and put everything out in the open.
"And I may have to remind you that I am very suspicious of the special goods required by the 'Ancient God' sect. That is, the lost 'important goods' that led to the death of Dieter and the two..."
"It's very possible that it's Anna you saved!"
"What?"
Marco and Anna both exclaimed in shock. After they looked at each other for a moment, the girl asked.
"The 'important cargo' they want is me? No...it seems to be no wonder. After all, they spared no effort to hunt me down, which led to..."
At the end of the sentence, she lowered her head apologetically. The kind-hearted girl always remembered Uncle Jeff who sacrificed for herself.
"Ana...you don't have to blame yourself, it's not your fault."
The young man whispered some words of comfort, and then he had no time to say anything more, so he hurriedly asked Ariel.
"But what exactly is it? Even the guys from the 'Ancient God Sect' want to arrest Anna. Is it because she has a magical talent?"
"Perhaps this is just part of the reason why they covet Anna. I would like to apologize to you in advance for not telling you the truth at that time..."
Ariel looked at the nervous girl, sighed and said slowly.
