Chapter 107: Dark Marriage (Part II)

As Jim began to speak, both Lird and Edward listened quietly with wide eyes, and even Edward, who had not cared about anything until then and had a hippie smile, did not consciously look solemn.

Jim was a little concerned about Edward's presence, but he couldn't hide it, and he could only tell it in one go.

"If there is a taboo and vicious word in the ancient people that the world does not understand, then it is a rule that exists in our tribe. It may seem unreasonable, even dehumanizing, but it is a very effective method of rules. The joint control of the sacrifice and the wolf's fangs has kept the whole tribe in a stable state for a long time, and in this respect it is absolutely correct. ”

Then Edward said, "That... I'm sorry to bother me any longer, but I don't know anything about your tribe's culture and organization, but I'm curious about your fangs and sacrifices... How did he endure loneliness? Well, no offense, but the joy of fish and water is really human nature, and even the most rational person can hardly resist the physical impulse. ”

Edward's sharp question once again goes straight to the essence of the problem, and Lird blushes when he hears this, but he is also very curious about this, and Lird also wants to know the reason for this.

Jim pondered for a moment, thought for a moment and said: "It's normal that you don't understand this kind of thing, in fact, as far as I know, no sacrifice or wolf fang has violated this taboo, of course, in addition to the super rational inhibition between the two, there is also human control." ”

"I don't know how to control the sacrificial lord's side, and the method of wanting to come to the sacrifice is not known to us outsiders, but I know the control method of the wolf's fang. There is a certain secret recipe for medicine that has been passed down from ancient times within the tribe, and no matter when a man takes this medicine, it will affect his body after a period of time... In that respect, it eventually reaches a state of almost no desire..."

Jim looked quite embarrassed when he said this, and he reorganized his language several times before he stammered.

Leard and Edward couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard this, and their eyes were filled with incredible horror.

Lird stammered in surprise, "What is this... Chemical castration?" Jim didn't quite understand what Lird was saying, but nodded after thinking about it.

"My God, there is such a thing. Unlike Lird's surprise, Edward couldn't help but laugh.

"I've heard that gays and lesbians in the UK are being 'treated' with chemical hormonal drugs, but I didn't expect that a normal couple here would have to undergo this kind of 'baptism'. ”

Jim was very displeased with Edward's ridicule, and said coldly: " The internal affairs of our tribe are not something that an outsider like you can understand, first of all, the marriage between the sacrifice and the wolf's tooth is a political need, and the two do not have any emotional basis in essence, and the reason why this method is chosen is also to control the combination of the two sides to give birth to the next generation, as the most powerful person in the tribe, if they unite to form a new family, then their descendants will inevitably have an innate superiority and power, and in the long run, the tribe is very likely to embark on a road of authoritarian form and structure, which is very dangerous。 ”

"As the leader of the tribe, whether it is the sacrifice or the wolf fang, they have paid a great sacrifice for this, they are not only for power and fame, they are fighting for a better future for the tribe!"

Edward pouted, then shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, don't be angry, I swear that what I just said didn't have any malice, I respect the folk culture of any nation." ”

Jim snorted, he didn't believe Edward's nonsense, but there was nothing he could do about it.

While Jim and Edward were arguing, Lird remained silent, and he was equally speechless about the deformed and dark marriage culture of the Atlantean remnants, or rather he had a strong resistance to it, and Lird did not know why it existed. Aside from this unpleasant emotion, there is still an emotion that puzzles Liard.

Lird said: "In any case, the sacrifice belongs to the same camp as the wolf's fang, and from the perspective of political structure, it belongs to the alliance side, but judging from the pursuit of me by the Vatican, it should be diametrically opposed to the purpose of the sacrifice, although the sacrifice has not yet adopted our plan, but it is not enough to kill us so much." ”

Jim nodded approvingly, while Edward gave Leald a meaningful look.

During this conversation between Lird and Jim, Edward gained a lot of information, although most of the information was scattered fragments, but Edward believed that one day he would completely connect all the fragments.

When he heard Lird mention "our plan", he was more sure of his previous thoughts, a certain line of Lird should indeed be related to this mysterious tribe, and now that he looks at it, Lird's plan is even related to the overall future of this mysterious tribe.

It's getting more and more interesting...

There was a meaningful smile in Edward's eyes, and neither Lird nor Jim noticed the change in Edward's demeanor, just as Edward had not noticed that someone else was watching him closely.

Jim pondered for a moment and then said to Lird: "Things are indeed as you said to be confused, as far as the Brahman's position is concerned, it really should not stand in the opposite position with the priest, if the matter is carried out a little carelessly, then it will lead to conflicts between the two sides, although the wolf tooth has a very high status in the hearts of the people, but compared to the sacrifice is still far from it..."

Lird said: "Besides, our position is not against the tribe, so since he wants to put me to death so much..." ”

The beginning of Lird's hunt was caused by the girl in white, and it was this person who first warned Lird to leave, believing that this woman had a very special importance in the whole affair, and her role was not even weaker than that of the Brahman.

Jim said, "yes, I almost ignored that. The woman in white you're talking about, her name is... Abigai, who was the personal attendant of the priest, served by the side of the priest for many years before the previous priest died, and it can be said that he is one of the few people in the world who knows the priest best. ”

"It acts very low-key on weekdays, although it is to do things next to the sacrificial master, but the sense of existence is very low, in the eyes of the clansmen, I don't like it much, but I don't dislike it, and because of the influence of the sacrificial adult, many people respect it. ”

Lird chuckled, "It sounds like a person has ascended to heaven. ”

Jim smiled bitterly and said, "It seems to be true, but Abigai has never done anything surprising over the years, and everything she has done is in the eyes of people, but it makes people feel that she has always been unknown." ”

Lird said: "This kind of shadow figure is the most terrifying, I don't know what kind of unknown person Abigai was before, I only know that she played a very important role in the matter of us, whether she has absolute loyalty to the sacrifice I don't know, I only know that Fandu hunted me down under her arrangement." ”

Lird sighed and nodded, and then said: "You're right, now our hostile forces have begun to emerge in front of us, as for whether there are other people I don't know, but Granny Chas, Fandu, and Abigai are definitely on the same side, they attacked me with close cooperation, and everything was so perfect in the process, but in fact they almost succeeded." ”

At this time, Edward on the side smiled and said: "Hehe, it's just that they didn't calculate my existence by thousands of calculations, which is the so-called wrong mistake." At this moment, the pain in Edward's chest had subsided a lot, and the arrogant laughter was much louder.

Although Jim doesn't like Dehua, judging from the current results, Edward's appearance has indeed turned the whole situation around, otherwise Liard's death will be quite embarrassing. Now that he has completely lost Qianrou's trust and support, and Granny Chas and others will not let him continue to exist in the tribe, Jim, who has lost the trust of his lover, friend, and even the clan, can meet the final end.

After everything was explained thoroughly, several people fell silent, each thinking about their own thoughts.

After a long time, Jim slowly said to Lird, "What are you going to do next?"

Jim's question was tactful, and Lird understood that what Jim was asking was whether he wanted to leave here, and Lird believed that Jim definitely didn't want to let him go.

Lird smiled and said, "I haven't thought about the rest yet, but I don't want to leave right now." ”

Jim couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, his expression full of relief, and at the same time glanced at Lird gratefully.

Edward sighed at this, knowing that there was only one path left to choose next. However, although Edward sighed, he did not discourage him, thinking that this was not a bad thing for him.

After receiving a clear reply from Lird, Jim also looked at Edward, and then looked at Lird again, the meaning of which could not have been more obvious.

Lird groaned about this, he understood that Jim didn't want Edward to be involved, but in fact, as Edward said, Edward was already involved in this incident and couldn't get rid of it, and if Edward really intervened, then his side would also have a great advantage.

After a fierce struggle in his heart, Lird looked at Edward.

Edward looked at Liard's solemn expression and smiled, "I understand what you mean, young master. You can see that your thoughts are very contradictory. ”

With that, Edward straightened up his body leaning against the stone wall, and the cynical expression on his face was somewhat restrained.

"I am aware of your concerns, and I can see that you are discussing and preparing to carry out something together, and that it is not an ordinary transportation business. You need people you can trust, people who can keep your secrets. Haha, I don't look like the best person on the outside, and I'm not going to give you any examples to trust me about it, but I'm going to talk about another way to show how important I am. That is, with my participation, you have the possibility of winning. ”

"Although I don't know the specifics, I have a good understanding of this place after observing it for so long, and I have seen some things that should not be seen. To be honest, in what you've just said, I don't see the slightest chance that you can win. ”

"Whether it is the old woman who raised the sacrifice, the first warrior of the tribe or the woman who exists like a shadow, the power and strength it has are not comparable to you, especially the young master, no matter what good ideas and plans you have, in the eyes of others after all, you are an outlier, I think that the people who trust you the most in the entire tribe are already in this cave, so what are you sure of winning. ”

"As I said before, if it weren't for my help, you would have been dead when you returned to that tribe this time, and of course you would have been buried with you. With that, Edward set his sights on Jim.

Lird said: "Edward, even if we go back, we don't want to stir up any disputes, we just want to..."

"No kidding, my young master!" Edward interrupted Lird.

"It would be naΓ―ve to say such things now, the 'war' has already begun, it will not end easily, and in this struggle you must decide whether to win or lose, and to decide whether you want to settle Hitler by means of peace talks! ”

Lird and Jim were silent about this.

Edward stretched out his arms, and at this time, like a speaker inciting the emotions of the audience, said loudly to the Lirds: "For force can only be used by force, non-violent non-cooperation is by no means the words of the Gandhi's family." And to be successful, you really need me... Or rather, I am absolutely indispensable for victory. ”

"How's that? Do you want to fail, or do you want me to join the gang?"
