Chapter XXXVI: The Oracle

The ring that was removed from the businesswoman's finger was imbued with divine power by the Corrupt Lady, and when worn, she could increase her strength by eating the corpses of her kind. What is the increase in force? How far can it be increased? The Corrupt Lady didn't say it explicitly. However, since it was a token from King Didra, the bonus must be considerable.

However, the perverted behavior of cannibalism is seriously inconsistent with my concept, so I flatly rejected the "gift" of the corrupt lady. So the empathetic Lady of Decay gave the ring a second complete makeover - at least in terms of the color and the smell it emanated, the ring did change dramatically.

Did the Rotten Lady change sex? Are there any new tricks besides cannibalism? I'm curious about what the new ring does. But the next explanation of the corrupt lady made me smile helplessly.

"This ...... Is the nature of the ring different from before? ”

"Hehe, of course there is no difference in nature." The Corrupt Lady reiterated her position, "Only in this way can my philosophy be implemented." ”

The function of the black ring is actually very similar to that of the white ring, if the function of the black ring is to gain strength from eating other people's corpses, then the white ring makes an exchange between the object of eating and being eaten. When I put on this pure white ring, everything was reversed, eating other people's flesh no longer had any effect on me, but others could gain strength by eating my flesh.

If this development continues, I will become the Tang Sanzang of the Naien Shi Realm. I don't know if there will be "monsters" in Ludao to capture me in order to eat my flesh, and I don't know if I can find a reliable "apprentice" to protect my safety.

"Isn't it time for me to become the target of public criticism when I wear this ring?" I made my distrust blunt with the Corrupt Lady.

"For the sake of you're the only mortal who can fully comprehend my ideas. I have specially made a ring for you that has never appeared in this world before, and no one can understand its secrets. ”

The Corrupt Lady's answer implicitly suggests that you can afford to change a ring for you. My will cannot be questioned. Well, since a Didra king has already sworn his assurances. Then I'll believe it for a while.

"The opportunity is in front of us, let's test the effect of this ring now."

The Corrupt Lady spoke again, and she demanded that I use the ring immediately in front of her.

"Do you have to cut off a piece of meat? Can you have a bloodletting? ”

"Hehe, I don't want to be in the company of Moragbar."

The Corrupt Lady sneered scornfully, dissuading me from any tricks and hacking another King of Deedra by the way.

That's it, if you are pitted, you will be pitted, just cut a piece of meat, this scar is much smaller than the mouth of the bowl. After some deduction. I ended up choosing a suitable area on my left forearm, where the surgery would avoid the major blood vessels and nerves while maximizing the intensity of my body's activity during the healing period.

Resisting the pain, I cautiously plunged the dagger into my left arm, slashed horizontally, and circled back. A bloody gap opened in his arm, and dark red blood continued to seep out of it, and the visual effect was terrible. I hurriedly cast a healing spell on my left arm while searching for materials to bandage. Unfortunately, there was only old linen in the temple hall that was used to wrap the corpses. Not only was it unhygienic, it was unlucky – so I had to tear part of my clothes off.

After the bandage, the next step is to let the piece of meat cut from my body do its job.

Now that Flotra is not conscious, this successfully avoids an embarrassing scene between us. But on the other hand. The difficulty of feeding has also increased.

Do you want me to chew it myself and pass it to her? This kind of thing is too ...... It's not that I'm embarrassed to have indirect contact with Flotra's bodily fluids, but it's the thought of putting my own meat in my mouth and chewing it, what a terrible thing!

Fortunately, magic can avoid strange scenes at this time. Under the effect of a change spell. The piece of flesh was completely crushed into a liquid that entered through Flotra's mouth with the help of a magical pull. It follows the esophagus and eventually leads to the organs that can digest them.

After a few minutes, Lady Rotten's strength shifted from the sauce to Florella's body. Flotra's vital signs began to reappear, and she seemed to be able to wake up soon.

……

"Thank you...... Thank you, dear lady of decay. ”

Facing in the direction of the Lady of Decay's altar, Lotra poked her head out of her cowering from behind me and thanked me in fear. When she woke up, I told her that it was the Lady of Decay who had saved her with her powersβ€”and that I was the only one who knew the awkward process.

"Hehe, don't be afraid, I don't have any interest in you."

It seems that the Corrupt Lady really has no interest in Di Bella's prophet, and after leaving a short message without care, the Corrupt Lady turns her attention back to mine. In the event of amnesty, Flotra quickly put away her head and hid behind me, as if she would disappear completely from the sight of the Corrupt Lady.

"Thank you, respected lady of decay, for helping me solve a big problem."

I reached behind me with my right hand, intact, to soothe the shivering Flotra, and bowed again in the direction of the altar in thanks. Flotra's injuries have healed and the heavy baggage has been lifted, and the next step is to send Flotra to the Temple of Dibella in Marcus City, and I can return to my home in Snowman.

Seeing my relieved expression, the Rotten Lady playfully asked, "Hehe, you think it's all over?" ”

"Uh, is there anything else I can do for you?"

"Of course, I now have a spokesperson who walks in the light and carries out my ideas, but I still lack a priest who will take care of my temple in the darkness."

Still missing a priest? I'm dizzy...... Could it be Flotra hiding behind my back?

"Didn't you say that you don't have any interest in Flotra anymore?"

"I mean, you have another companion."

"Aiola?"

It dawned on Lady Decay for further explanations, and I immediately relayed everything I knew about Aeola to Lady Decay.

"Aiola must be happy to be your priest, and during my time with her I have found her to be very devout in your faith. It shouldn't be long before she's back, and she'll be in your hands. ”

"Hehe, if she comes back and finds that the few 'believers' she found have died at your hands and have been abandoned by you on the altar to commit 'blasphemy', what direction do you think things will go next?"

"Uh......"

The Rotten Lady's reminder sent me into agonizing thoughts. Now that I think about it, Iora probably thinks these people are believers in the Corrupt Lady, so she told them the location of the temple. If she came back and saw what had happened in the temple, she would have turned her face with me and never stopped.

The biggest headache was that I couldn't give her a statement that would be acceptable. Although the corpses and blood stains can be completely erased, in the relatively closed hall of the temple, the smell with the characteristics of the deceased will inevitably linger for a short time.

Fortunately, there is a perfect solution in front of me.

"It's not convenient for me to come forward, that will cause a serious misunderstanding, why don't you explain it to her?" I casually blamed the instigator in front of me for this trouble.

"Hehe, on one side is my priest, on the other side is my spokesman, there is such a ridiculous contradiction between the two, and in the end, it is up to me to come forward to settle it. Spread to other monarchs, where do you put my face? ”

%οΏ₯&*…… If you don't say it, who can know the way? I think you're deliberately cheating on me. After thinking about it, I made some changes to the Rotten Lady's words and returned them.

"But on the other hand, your priest on the one hand, and your spokesperson on the other, if your spokesperson is killed by your priest, and the dragon's breath sprays the temple of Akatosh, isn't that even more shocking?"

"Hehe, you're pretty good at talking, but you're still dead. You are the first mortal ever to understand my ideas, which is why I tell you so much; And that girl is not very qualified, and she is not enough to face me now. ”

It was as if I was good enough to confront her.

"Everything in the temple is my doing, I really need to give her an explanation, but I really can't see her, she will definitely kill me as soon as possible and eat my flesh raw!" Putting away the toughness in my words, I put on a pitiful expression again, "Can you give me another task?" It's like getting me a new ring just now......"

After a moment of silence, the Corrupt Lady finally reluctantly accepted my plea. She changed her tone to a cold tone and read the rest to me lightly.

"Leave my temple and go all the way north to join the first party you see. Let it be, things will go the right way, and Aiola won't need you to worry about it anymore. ”

Is this an oracle? Do what the rotten lady says, I don't know what accidents and troubles will happen on the road. But if you don't...... The weight of the altar made me realize that the Lady of Decay had reached the limit of her tolerance for me.

It's nerve-wracking, and it seems that the day of returning to the snow is even farther away from me.

"I'll do it. Also, can I know what exactly Lu Dao is doing on this trip? ”

However, the question I asked was not answered. The smell of decay on the altar has completely dissipated, and the invisible shackles that have been placed on me have been removed, Lady Rotten ...... Run! Only the echo of a "hehe" was left in the hall. (To be continued......)
