The Heavens: Cthulhu started from Hokage

[Learning ability: "Mythical Language: Ghoul Language", consumes 100 prestige points]

[Whether to study: yes/no]

"Do you only need 100 points of prestige?"

100 points of prestige was not much to Bai Yuan, so he chose "yes" without thinking too much.

In an instant, a huge flow of information invaded his entire brain.

The pain that seemed to burst his brain forced him to squat down in pain.

The ghoul leader came up and said with concern:

"Are you OK?"

When it said this, it realized that the humans and ghouls in front of it spoke different languages, so it tapped Baiyuan's shoulder with his palm to show concern.

Bai Yuan waved his hand, stood up, and replied in fluent ghoul language:

"I am fine."

The ghoul leader froze in place with his palms froze, and Orochimaru on his back looked thoughtful.

"It must be the ability that the so-called Naiya gave him..." Orochimaru thought to himself.

"I'm so envious. I have the ability to gain knowledge right away..."

Suddenly, he felt an emotion called jealousy toward Bai Yuan.

The ghoul leader's expression quickly changed from surprise to excitement.

Its expression was noticed by Bai Yuan, which made Bai Yuan a little puzzled.

What's there to be excited about.

The ghoul leader looked at Bai Yuan carefully, suddenly grinned and laughed:

"Yes, absolutely yes! It is impossible for humans to have this level of learning ability! You are not a human at all, are you!?"

Bai Yuan didn't know whether the ghoul leader was praising or criticizing him, and for a moment he didn't know how to reply to him.

The ghoul leader smiled enthusiastically.

"Only the Old Ones have this magical power. You must be related to a certain Old One!"

"Oh?" Bai Yuan seemed to notice something and said with interest:

"It seems you need the power of the Old Ones?"

The ghoul leader nodded fiercely.

"I will tell you everything when I return to our city, please, Lord Apostle."

It suddenly became respectful to Bai Yuan, a hundred times more respectful than before.

As the group continued to march, the dense fog around them gradually faded.

They seemed to be walking deeper underground, and the surrounding area was getting darker and darker.

When it was so dark that he couldn't see his fingers, the scene in front of Bai Yuan suddenly became clear again.

Thousands of green fireflies illuminate the surrounding space.

A black city appeared in front of him, a city exclusively for ghouls.

A natural stone bridge connects the ghoul city to the outside world. Under the stone bridge is a bottomless cliff, and the howling wind between the cliffs is like the wail of the dead in the underworld.

"Welcome to the 'Paradise of the Undead' - Pickman!"

The ghoul leader put down Orochimaru, who had almost recovered, and welcomed the two human visitors inside.

From a human perspective, its appearance is weird and terrifying, but its etiquette is perfect, showing his proficiency in human culture.

"City of the Immortal" Pickman's more than ten-meter-high black city gate was pushed open. Baibuchi and Orochimaru entered the city and saw the scene in the city.

There are rows of buildings on both sides of a wide main road.

Ghoul buildings are much rougher than human buildings. From the outside, they look like insect nests magnified hundreds of times.

The city's commerce among ghouls is not very developed, and there are not many ghouls wandering around on the road. Their only pleasure seems to be eating.

Bai Yuan saw some restaurant signs on the roadside. Needless to say, what kind of dishes were sold there.

Further forward, there is a square, which is not large in area. There is a statue in the center, which is majestic and majestic.

To Bai Yuan's surprise, the statue depicts a human male.

He is an old human with white hair and gray beard, holding a trident.

Why are there human statues in a city of ghouls?

The ghoul leader saw Bai Yuan's confusion and explained:

"This is the Lord of the Great Abyss, the great Nodens, the object of worship of all dreamland ghouls."

Bai Yuan asked:

"Nordens? Is he also the Old One?"

The ghoul leader shook his head.

"Nordens is an ancient god."

"Ancient God." Bai Yuan muttered these syllables softly. He didn't know much about the Cthulhu mythology, so this was a new concept for him.

However, the name "Ancient God" sounds quite powerful.

The ghoul leader had a look of reverence on his face:

"The Old God, fighting against the Great Old Ones, protects our dreamland, so we worship Him."

When Bai Yuan heard this, his eyes lit up.

"Fighting against the Old Ones, it sounds like this so-called ancient god is from the lawful camp. Maybe his power can help me get rid of Naia's control?"

Bai Yuan silently wrote down the name Nodens.

Leaving the square, they entered a black castle in the center of Pickman, climbed hundreds of steps, and came to a room covered with a huge red carpet.

The candlesticks on the wall were burning with fluorescent green fire. In the center of the room was a long stone table with a dazzling array of tableware made of unknown metals.

This is probably the restaurant where the ghoul leader receives guests.

The ghoul leader may be in charge of food...

But when he thought about what the ghoul's recipe was, Bai Yuan's expression couldn't help but become weird.

Orochimaru still looked very interested.

Fortunately, the ghoul leader did not force them to eat any unacceptable food.

Several ghoul slaves brought bread and wine.

The raw materials for these foods are probably quite rare in the underground world of Dreamland, so the ghoul leader must be serious about it.

Baibuchi and Orochimaru happened to be hungry and their stomachs were growling at this time.

For those who cast the "ghoul control spell", they had no doubt that there was something wrong with the food, so they picked up the bread and ate it hungrily.

The food on the table was swept away by the wind and clouds.

The ghoul leader just watched them both finish eating quietly.

After drinking the last bit of wine in the cup, Bai Yuan looked at the ghoul leader.

He knew the ghoul leader wanted something from him.

The ghoul leader understood, pulled up a chair and sat next to Bai Yuan.

"Master Apostle, I want to ask you to help us with something."

"what's up?"

The ghoul leader sighed:

"You should know that ghouls are not monolithic. Ghouls in different places have their own beliefs."

"I know that."

The ghoul leader cast his distant gaze out the window, staring closely at the statue of Nodens in the square.

"Even if they are of the same race, I will not allow them to destroy our faith."

Then, he looked at Bai Yuan with determined eyes and uttered a few syllables:

"Zul-Baha-Sal."

Bai Yuan's eyes narrowed.

Zul-Baha-Sal.

The place called by the evil priest before.

The ghoul leader's expression was filled with murderous intent.

"Our enemy comes from Zul Baha Sal."
