Chapter 4 Osgard

For a young man, having his own house in this city is undoubtedly a very proud thing, even if the house is small, it is still a home. Chen An has a deep understanding of this. In his country, countless young people went to big cities to fight for nothing more than to have a house to settle down. If there is a house, there will be a home, and if there is a home, there will be a future. This is a traditional belief rooted in people's bones.

On the way to the boy's house, Chen An observed the nearby environment intentionally or unintentionally. This area should be a residential area, with various residential buildings everywhere around it. Inconspicuous places in the corners of the streets and alleys, you will always see randomly discarded garbage, and even some places still have traces of dirty feces left.

Chen An, who has browsed Western medieval materials, does not have much commonplace about this. For example, Paris, France, known as the romantic capital, was a famous feces capital in the Middle Ages, and you may be covered in excrement when walking on the street.

"Welcome to my home, don't be too polite and reserved, there is no one in the room."

The boy opened the door and invited Chen An into the room with a passionate look on his face.

Out of observation, Chen An quickly took the situation in the house. This was a one-bedroom house. The living room and the bedroom were basically separated by a curtain. The furniture in the living room was simple. Except for a small low round table and a few small wooden chairs, there was no other formal furniture. Most of the remaining ones were shabby items such as bottles and jars, while the bedroom was almost the same. The only thing that was eye-catching was the neatly laid wooden bed.

Although the house is small and messy, it is worthy of praise for cleaning. The floor is clean and the tables and chairs are free of dust. I believe that the boy will often take care of the hygiene at home carefully.

"Give you water."

The boy scooped some water from the water tank covered with wooden boards and put it into a bamboo-style cup, and then handed it to Chen An, who was sitting on the chair, as a receptionist.

"Thanks."

Chen An smiled and thanked him. After a moment, he began to ask the other party about all aspects of the strange world in front of him.

...

This is a world called Osgard. Like many myths and legends, people believe that the world was created by the great Father God Edda. Chen Anchu thought that this religion was spreading a story similar to the Bible, but who would have thought that the boy looked at him with a strange look and told him clearly that there are gods in this world, and there are more than one god.

After the Father God Ada opened up the world, he fell to death with exhaustion, and his corpse turned into all things in the three realms. Among them, the gods living in the heavens were born from the essence of the Father God's body, and the demons living in the abyss were born from the turbid air in the body of the Father God. Both of them were the first creatures to appear in the world, and then various life species evolved in the human world.

Gods and demons are born mortal enemies, and the war between them has been maintained for many tens of thousands of years. The human world is often the battlefield between both sides. As a result, the human world has suffered from the suffering of living beings for many years. In the last recorded war between gods and demons, the gods completely sealed the exits of the abyss demons from all over the world. Since then, Osgard ushered in the long-lost peace.

In order to maintain the seal of the abyss, the gods set up temples of faith in each sealing node in the human world, which are specifically responsible for suppressing the monsters leaking from the gaps in the abyss. Over time, the nodes of the sealing abyss slowly gathered a large number of believers. As the number of people increases, towns inevitably appear one by one. Therefore, in the world of Osgard, all large towns with a certain scale have nodes for sealing the abyss.

In general, in the eyes of Chen An, a materialist, the world view of this world is too complicated. He only needs to understand that there are gods and demons in this world. After all, things that are too far from real life are often difficult to attract attention. Just like in his world, you can know the leaders of various countries through the Internet, but the problem is that the other party and his own lives will not have any intersection at all, and even if you know the other party, it is useless. To a certain extent, the noble gods and demons and national leaders are difficult for ordinary people to reach.

The boy's name is Alex. He claims to be a believer of the sun god Thor. Now he works as an apprentice in a leather shop. His biggest wish is to save enough money for the awakening ceremony and become a glorious god lover.

The so-called awakening ceremony is the gift of power given to each believer by the gods. Usually, the temple priest presides over the awakening ceremony. If ordinary believers need to perform the awakening ceremony, they must contribute enough money. However, believers who voluntarily join the temple and devote their lives to the gods do not need it. The difference between the two is the choice of free. Unless they are truly crazy believers, few people will choose to join the temple.

Every awakening ceremony does not mean that it will inevitably succeed. It is said that people with distracting thoughts, weak will, and weak beliefs often find it difficult to get the gift of the power of the gods. So far, those who can truly become God's followers are often the ones selected from thousands of people.

Bella Oka, the word mentioned by the boy was the name of this city. It belongs to the fief of the Grand Duke of Bourne, the Kingdom of Lionheart. In the entire Kingdom of Lionheart, Bella Oka is considered one of the top five prosperous cities, which also means that there is a node that seals the abyss here.

Time passed quietly as the two of them answered questions and answers. In a blink of an eye, night had already fallen, and his stomach became hungry. The hospitality Alex warmly welcomed Chen An's rough dinner and invited him to stay overnight.

Chen An didn't know what the boy was thinking. He was unfamiliar with his life in another world and could only choose to rely on the kindness shown by the other party.

"This is my clothes. Don't be too small. Change the smelly clothes on you."

Alex used a cloth sheet to make a simple laying for Chen An in the living room, then took out a gray long gown from his bedroom and threw it to Chen An and said.

"Thank you, may I ask, is there a bath here?" Chen An took the clothes and responded politely and asked.

"Take a bath?" Alex shook his eyebrows and said with a smile. "Only, if we poor people want to take a bath, they will rinse their bodies in the well outside, while rich people will go to the special bathhouse in the city to take a bath. Do you want to take a bath?"

"Yes, I always feel a little uncomfortable with the odor on my body, and it seems that there are many insects parasitic, which makes me itch all over my body." Chen An said frankly.

"Then I'll go and get some shower water for you. Just wait until you wash outside the house." Alex nodded after hearing this, and took the opportunity to find a wooden barrel from the living room and prepared to go out.

"Thank you so much."

"You'd better change your clothes before I come back. The smell is so pungent." Alex just smiled and waved his hand and left the house.

"well--"

After Alex left, Chen An suddenly sighed. The other party gave him a lot of care, but he suspected his intentions, which really made him feel guilty.

When I changed into Alex's long gown, except for the narrow shoulders, I fit in everything else. Of course, given the height difference between him and Alex, the hem of the long gown worn on him was only at the calf, and Alex would definitely reach the ankle if she wore it. However, some of it was good, and he didn't care too much about it.

After a while, Alex came back with a bucket of water. He did not enter the door, but shouted directly at the door: "An, the water is back, you can come out and take a shower by yourself."

An, this is Chen An’s name introduced by himself. Not reporting the full name is nothing more than just following the local customs.

"Here's here."

As soon as Chen An went out, Alex threw him a rag-shaped towel.

"Take your own water and go to the corner of the house and use this to scrub your body."

"Thank you!"

Chen An walked up to lift the bucket next to Alex, and then walked straight towards the dark corner of the house.

"Where is your clothes?" Alex behind him suddenly shouted.

"I've temporarily left it in the living room and I'll clean it up when I come back." Chen An said without looking back.

"Do I want you to deal with it?" Alex shouted.

"Then I'll bother you."

After seeing Chen An walk to the corner of the house and start taking a bath, Alex quickly returned to the house and searched around for the clothes that Chen An changed. After a moment, he saw that the clothes were placed next to the table.

He picked up the clothes, looked out of the door with a guilty look, and then quickly put them into a box under the wooden bed in the bedroom. After doing all this, he breathed a sigh of relief and muttered silently: "When the material of this clothes is cleaned, it can definitely be sold for a good price. That guy is really a fool who doesn't know about treasures. It's worth spending my time to entertain him. Hehe, I've made a big step forward from the money from the awakening ceremony..."

After taking a shower, Chen An returned to the house with an empty wooden barrel, but found that Alex was not found in the living room, and the clothes he threw at the table disappeared.

"Alex?" he shouted.

"I'm in the bedroom." Alex's voice rang out from the room.

"Are you ready to rest so early?" Chen An put the wooden barrel back into the original corner while wiping his hair with a towel.

"I have to go to a leather shop to work tomorrow morning, so I will have a mental work tomorrow after taking a break." Alex said.

"Then I won't bother you." Chen An said considerately: "By the way, where are the clothes I threw under the table?"

"That's the dress?! I'll throw it away for you." Alex paused in a clear voice.

"Did you lose it? Then I don't have any other clothes to wear." Chen An said in a tangled manner.

"Don't worry, I'll give you this outfit, anyway, I have other extra clothes." Alex said.

"Alex."

"Um?"

"You are such a good person!"
