551. The Power of Truth
In the castle's parlor, Suvira, the master of the fox clan, claims to know the secrets of the Galloping Horse family, which intrigues Rand.
"You don't want to tell me about the bad debts of the Galloping Horse Fund, do you?" Rand smiled, he really couldn't think that the fox in front of him could know what was going on in his family.
"No, it's about your relative Jenny Galloping!" The big fox suddenly became serious, "I guess that one of your subordinates must have told you that she resisted briefly after I hypnotized Jenny, when she prayed to summon some tentacles in her dreams and tried to manipulate them to attack me!" ”
Rand nodded: "Yes, I know about it, but wasn't it roasted by you?" ”
"Don't you think it's strange, my lord? Barbarian high priests, they pray to the god emperor or the god of life here, is it effective? Why did Jenny Galloping Horse call out to the existence thousands of miles away, at the bottom of the sea, and people responded? ”
"Keep talking......"
Rand looked at the big fox directly, but his heart was agitated, the big fox's words did make sense, if the sea god could still respond to the believers on the distant land across the human empire, then the entire human empire must be his divine kingdom, but the reality is that the entire human empire does not even recognize the current sea god, and it is strictly forbidden for the sea god belief to spread in any land 20 kilometers outside the coastline.
The old fox saw that Rand had taken the bait, and he was not in a hurry, and continued: "Also, I don't know if you noticed, Jenny Galloping Horse is particularly weakened after waking up, if it were your other archmages, that kind of psychic attack should have completely recovered in a few hours?" ”
"So what?" Rand couldn't wait, he was a little anxious that Suvira had taken control of the rhythm, but the other side obviously knew some really important information.
"So, what Jenny's galloping horse summons is not the gaze of the so-called distant sea god, but some kind of latent presence in her bloodline." The big fox waited for a while, and slowly said the word "parasite!" ”
"Parasitic...... Insect? Rand repeated.
"It's not the kind of microbes that make people sick, but the larvae of some kind of sea monster, or even eggs, they are parasitic in Jenny's bloodline, and once awakened, they can burst out with huge magical power," the big fox looked at Rand's gradually dazed face, "This power can be spiritual to help her get out of trouble, or it can be magical, let her release a life-saving spell......"
"Or maybe it's related to God?" Rand uttered the latter words, "Like killing the apostate......"
"It seems that you have already guessed that the royal court has hoped to help the sea beast clan by the sea return to the belief of the god of Warcraft more than once, but anyone who dares to betray the god of the sea will be punished by an extremely terrifying god!" The big fox said leisurely, "This is the result of the combination of life and magic, and I am afraid that it only belongs to the Poseidon clan." ”
"Wait a minute, how can you be sure of some kind of parasite?" Rand felt that the big fox must not have learned about it through Jenny.
"The speculation about the parasite was indeed something I only thought of yesterday, and as a quasi-legend, I could feel that the source of the power in Jenny was from inside her body, not from the outside. Of course, there are also some that come from previous experience, for example, you must have heard of potions that can greatly stimulate potential, and these potions can bring instant enhancement to the user, but at the cost of life. ”
Rand thought for a moment about a certain institution in the Empire, as well as Blake Tiger, who had fought against him, and even the werewolf priestess Panita had said that she had seen similar potions in the Imperial Capital.
However, Rand soon discovered that there were now several magicians in the Fiat family working in Night Kirk, and he had no way of knowing if such a parasite was contagious.
Looking at the hesitant Rand, Suvira smiled and said, "Let me guess what you're worried about, worried about the scope of this parasite, right?" In fact, once the power of the sea god is far away from the sea, it will quickly dissipate, and the orc royal court has encountered the sea god believers who betrayed their faith only when they reached the plateau, and there was no abnormality. ”
Seeing that Rand breathed a sigh of relief, Suvira asked with a relaxed face, "How is it?" The information I gave you is enough for my safety, right? ”
Rand nodded: "Enough, and it also achieved your true purpose: to separate me and the Fiat family!" "At this moment, even if there is no orc provocation, Rand does not dare to contact the Fiat family, and is even ready to screen the members of the Fiat family who have already entered.
Suvira raised her head and laughed: "Hahaha, I didn't expect that the illusion I wanted to create didn't succeed, but telling the truth can achieve the goal, and I can only say that the truth is more terrible than a lie." ”
Although Rand wanted to know more about the royal court, Suvira told him an extraordinary piece of information, and Rand decided to keep his promise: "I can't accept you to return to the Orc Plateau for the time being, it just so happens that I am familiar with Abaidi and Tikal, you can choose to live in the temple area of the two cities over there, as long as the war between our two families ends, no matter what the result, you can return to freedom." ”
In fact, Rant's real plan is to let Lili, Faneuil and Sophia reach the real high level as soon as possible, so that even if another fox master comes, Rand will be enough to deal with it, and after the three of them are at the high level, let Suvira go to the neutral city-state, this fox is too smart, and he will only leak more information in the territory for a long time.
"Lord Rand is really admirable, then I will wait for you to send me to Abaidi."
……
On the opposite side of the lord's parlor, dozens of demon rats used for deterrence were taken away by the demonic tiger, and the others also left, only Faneuil and Sonito stood silently.
Sonito, who was full of questions in his heart, finally couldn't help it, and opened his mouth to ask, "Faneuil?" What the hell is going on? ”
"Grandpa, I haven't betrayed the royal court and the fox clan, I just found a new god," Faneuil unconsciously shook the four tails behind him, which were the most intuitive signs of the fox clan's strength.
The current Faneuil and Sonito are also 4-tailed, but Faneuil's growth is much faster than that of the fox clan of the same age, and it is not a problem to become a high-level master or above in the future.
Since they are equal in strength, they are naturally equal in terms of discourse, and Sonito can't force his granddaughter to say more things.
The door of the opposite parlor was opened, and the 7-tailed master Suvira walked out lightly, and as soon as he saw Faneuil, he warmly complimented: "The current junior is really amazing, when I was older than you, I was just a three-tailed sage. ”
"Master, Faneuil ......" Sonito looked ashamed and wanted to explain more, in his opinion, his granddaughter had betrayed the fox god after all.
"Hey~" However, the master stopped Sonito and said with a smile: "Do you know why among the entire orcs, we fox clan are the only ones who have a similar inheritance to the human race?" ”
Speaking of which, the grandfather and grandson involuntarily recalled the inheritance system of the fox clan, the inheritance of the fox clan can be said to have the characteristics of both human professionals and orcs, the two tails correspond to the intermediate level, the three tails correspond to the high-level, the fox clan is called the sage, the four tails are the great sages, the five tails to the seven tails are the masters, grandmasters and masters, corresponding to the high level of the human race, the eight tails correspond to the legend, and the nine tails are demigods and gods.
With such a detailed inheritance, although the fox clan is not as good as wolves, dogs, and otters in terms of population, the proportion of sages or great sages of the fox clan is much higher than that of orcs with similar strength among other tribes, and the high level of the fox clan is also more than the gods of any single beast god.
"Because the gods of the fox clan understood very early on that relying on the original too rough orc inheritance alone could not give full play to the most powerful power of the fox clan: wisdom, our fox clan did not so much inherit the appearance of the beast god, but inherited his wisdom." The big fox touched the little fox with great satisfaction, "So, you can be with more intelligent people and stronger people, this is the ability of the fox clan to settle down." It doesn't matter, Your Majesty won't blame you just because you follow the strong. ”
