Chapter Twenty-Three: Baal the Mad Dog
In the dungeon of the Mad Dog Knights, Barty, the president of the Blackcurrant Chamber of Commerce in the torture room, has been tortured by Barr to an inhuman form, his limbs are bent at strange angles, except for the tongue, the eyes, nose and ears have been cut off, and a large piece of skin on the back has been torn off, which is bloody and horrific to watch.
The reason why Barty is like this is not because Barty is determined, as early as when Barr said that he was going to cut off his beautiful nose, Barty said it all, but because Barty simply vented his anger on Barty, and that perverted sadism, but Barty deserved it.
According to Barty's confession, he made a deal with an unidentified man in black, and the man in black promised to help Barty get rid of his father-in-law, because Barty was in the family of the former president of the Chamber of Commerce, although the old man married his daughter to him, and also gave him the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce, on the surface the head of the Chamber of Commerce is Barty, but the actual control is still firmly in the hands of the old president, because it is because of the wealth, Barty is always inferior at home, and even some old servants will give him a look, so when the man in black came to him to make a deal with him, he came up with this amazing ideaγ
Barty gives the Man in Black a list of guests to attend the auction, and the Man in Black helps Barty kill his husband. Everyone was happy when the deal was done, but if Barty knew that the Man in Black was trying to assassinate Earl McCarvey, God knows if he would have made the deal.
Barty didn't expect it to end like this, his father-in-law died as he wished, under Barr's torture, but the Blackcurrant Chamber of Commerce was wiped out, and even his life was not saved.
Barr looked at Barty, who was already bloody and fleshy, and suddenly burst out of a nameless rage, and whipped Barty a few times with a whip, and Barty, who was almost out of breath, only snorted a few times, and couldn't even make a sound of begging for mercy.
"Go, whoever the man in black is, I'm going to pluck his skin. Barr walked out of his cell and beckoned to his men.
Barr stepped onto his tall horse, gathered his men, and was about to set off, when a non-commissioned officer walked up to Barr and whispered, "Lord Barr, the Count is awake." β
Barr glanced at the non-commissioned officer in front of him in a daze, his black eyes were round, and then he rode away on a dusty horse.
As soon as Barr arrived at the Earl's Court, he didn't even care about the war horse under his crotch, so he galloped to Julian's room, and when he opened the door, he saw Julian half-lying on the bed, surrounded by Sebas, Edgar, Rosalind, Charlotte, and others.
Barr trembled forward, knelt down in front of Julian's bed, and said tremblingly.
"Lord Count, you're back. β
"Ah, Barr, I'm back. β
Barr's childhood was an unhappy one. Barr has no father, only a mother, his mother is a name**, he is a wild seed that his mother is unfortunately pregnant, Barr has never enjoyed the taste of love since he was born, and his impression of his mother is only endless scolding and tears.
Barr once asked his mother about his father, and she just casually said, "Your father may be a fisherman, or a horseman, or a ruffian, who knows, I can't remember how many guests he received during that time, maybe your father was one of them." Since then, Barr has not asked about his father.
In the past, Barr's mother would drive Barr out of the house when she was doing business, and the young Barr did not understand his mother's intentions, but simply thought that he was disgusted by his mother.
One day, Baal's mother called Baal to him and gave him a silver coin, and Baal, who had never taken so much money from his mother, seemed overwhelmed, and his mother told him to let him play outside with this coin all day tomorrow, so that he could buy himself something delicious or buy a new dress, and this silver coin was at his expense, but his mother warned him not to go home until the sun went down, and his mother gave him a special advice.
Barr is the child king of the neighborhood and is happy to share anything with his little friends. But there was only one silver coin, and Baal didn't share it with his friends.
He took the coin to the tailor's shop and bought himself a new garment, a bright red coat stuffed with cotton. For Barr had not had any new clothes for a long time, and the coat he was wearing now had long since been washed and turned white, and that he had made a big hole in a recent fight with a child from a nearby street, and the cold wind often went through his coat and penetrated through it, making Barr shiver with cold.
Barr swaggered through the city in new clothes, his back straight, enjoying the envious gaze of his friends, there was nothing to be ashamed of, because the parents of the children in the slums, either hooligans or **, were engaged in cheap business.
Baal, who had shown off enough, was hungry and flattened afterwards, for he had spent all his silver coins on his clothes, and he had not eaten anything except for breakfast, and he felt for the copper plates that were left in his pocket, and bought two apples, one for his mother and one for himself.
He looked up at the sky, it was dusk, and the sun was about to set.
With the same amount of time, Barr decides to go home with a delicious gnocchi soup that his mother had promised him as long as the sun goes down.
As Barr walked home, there was no mother in the living room, and there was no delicious gnocchi soup on the table.
Barr heard a mixture of cries of pain and whipping from his mother's room, and he was terrified, and quietly paced to the door of his mother's bedroom, pushing the door slightly, revealing a little crack, and he saw an incredible scene.
The mother stripped naked and crawled like a dog at the feet of a man who was also naked, and the man had a leather whip in his hand, and swung it at his mother from time to time, causing the mother to let out a cry of pain, and the mother's back was already covered with bruise whip marks. As soon as the mother makes a miserable scream, an irrepressible pleasure will appear on the man's face, the man said, the little licked me, the mother crawled to the soles of the man's feet like a dog, stretched out her tongue and licked the man's toes like a dog, the man looked at the mother who was crawling in front of him like a dog, and let out bursts of wanton laughter, and the room was mixed with the sound of the mother licking the man's toes and the man's wanton ridicule.......
Young Barr couldn't comprehend all this, he was stunned, and the apple in his hand fell from his hand unconsciously, and fell to the ground with a "bang, bang, bang" sound.
The sudden appearance of the voice caught the eyes of the two people in the room.
Barr's mother saw Barr at the door, looked at him with fear, screamed loudly, stood up and pushed away the man next to her.......
Barr's mother went mad and died soon after, leaving Barr orphaned.
That year, Barr was thirteen years old.
In order to survive, in order to survive, Barr did nothing, stealing, smashing, robbing, burning, killing, he did everything, even sold his body, and struggled desperately in the sewers of the slums, no matter how filthy he would become.
Ten years later, when Barr was twenty-three years old, he found the man, killed him, and forced the truth out of his mouth.
This man is incompetent, he can only get physical pleasure by abusing women, but he is not willing to take his business, because his methods are too cruel, and many ** are seriously injured or even killed by torture. He found Barr's mother, and at this time, Barr's mother, who had contracted a venereal disease and had not received a business for a long time, had lost her source of income, and she had a child to raise, so she accepted the man's offer.
Barr, who knew the truth, left tears in his eyes, and since his mother's death, he has not shed a single tear.
Barr understood everything. Mother loves her, although she is a **, but she at least maintains the image of a mother in front of Barr, and the reason why she kicks Barr out of the house every day is to prevent Barr from seeing the ugliness she has to do in order to survive, and maintain the last trace of reserve as a mother.
Barr's mother is crazy, and so is Barr. He walked out into the streets, slashing at pedestrians in the streets, as long as he was in sight. In Baal's view, the slums were the cause of his and his mother's misfortunes, and they were the objects for which he had to destroy.
The people of the slums are all vicious outlaws, how can they let Barr do whatever they want, they gather together and besiege Barr together. However, Barr was extremely strong and fearless to death, and the challengers were defeated one by one, and the price was to have their heads cut off.
Barr walked up and down the streets of the slums, blood staining the streets, and no one could stop him, not even the outlaws of the slums, for they saw in Barr the ferocity of the beast, and the madness that never stopped, the madness that laughed at the blood of the enemy and feared life and death.
Soon Baal's actions attracted the attention of the underground forces of Azuchi, who were dissatisfied with Baal's wanton breaking of the order they had established, and they sent killers to sentence Baal to death, they were the kings of Azuchi's underground, ruling the shadows of Azuchi, and severely punishing anyone who dared to violate the underground order.
In the face of the elite siege of the Dark King, Baal did not run away, but laughed madly to meet him, rushed into the enemy group and slashed and slashed, but Baal was only one person after all, the long fight made him scarred and exhausted, he lost the strength of his whole body, the rusty sword full of crumbles fell from his hands, his legs were unable to support his body, he fell to his knees to meet the impending death, in the moment of imminent death, he thought of his mother, wanted to return to his mother's arms. He smiled.
But death did not come to him, and out of the crowd came a young man in a red shirt, who pushed away the guards who tried to stop him, and walked to Baal. Barr looked at the richly dressed young man and thought of the red coat he had bought that day with a silver coin his mother had given him.
"Nice looks, like a crazy wild dog. β
"What's your name?"
Barr looked up at the young man and replied, "Barr." β
"Barr, why are you attacking people in the ghetto?"
"Because, because β this land is the source of my mother's misfortune, I must destroy him. β
"But how can you destroy it alone, and even if you destroy it, the poor will gather again to form a new slum, and the slums exist because of poverty, and poverty breeds evil, and negative energy gathers and expands here, and all those who sink into it will become unhappy. The object of your revenge was wrong from the start, Baal. β
"It's a shame for someone like you to die here. The young man held out his hand unguardedly, "Follow me, Barr." I will forgive your sins, bear your pain, and help you build a city without slums, if anything, for my name is Julian McCarvey, Count of Karazhan, the future ruler of the South. β
Since then, Julian has had a loyal dog by his side. Wherever Julian McCarvey goes, Barr must follow, and wherever Barr goes, he represents Julian McCarvey's will.
