Section 55 Truth

His hand released the hilt of the greatsword and made a gesture of submission. Ashrufat's sword hung down. Sag slowly got up.

"That's amazing. Flint exhaled a long breath. Although he had known for a long time that Ashrufat would win, the final battle was still a great one. This is also a common situation among bystanders: he may see the whole battle, but he may not fully understand it. "Your Excellency, you are amazing. ”

This is not a deliberate sycophant, but a sincere statement. Because he had already seen the extraordinary abilities of Sag just now, he knew very well that if it was not Aeshurufat but him who was fighting against Sag, it was estimated that this outcome would not be optimistic.

If there is any problem, it is the previous promise of Ashrufat not to kill the other party. Speaking of which, Flint is also a little confused right now. You know, if he was Ishrufat, after defeating his opponent just now, he would definitely make up for it - if he didn't die, he would have made up for a few more swords. It is important to know that killing a terrifying Chaos Champion in such an open battle would undoubtedly be a great pleasure to the Prince of Joy, even if Ashrufat was a Chaos Lord. But Ashrufat fulfilled his previous promise and did not kill the other party. Could it be that they plan to switch to the camp of the Prince of Pleasure? A high-ranking believer who is a sadistic person, a champion samurai, will accept the camp?

"Lord Ashrufat, please allow me to serve you. As soon as Sag straightened up, he half-knelt down and lowered his head.

It may seem strange to the unwitted that a sadistic Chaos Champion swears allegiance to a Slaanesh Chaos Lord, but in reality, it's not surprising that the Chaos Gods have always fought and united, and their internal relationships are intricate. For example, in the previous case of the Blood Fang Lord, a Chaos Lord with the Blood God as the main god, obtained the oath of allegiance from the other three evil god believers, and organized a huge Chaos army. So it's the same thing the other way around. Besides, all the Blood God needs is battle, slaughter, and blood, and it really doesn't matter whose blood is shed.

"I accept. Ashrufat replied. He was reserved on the surface, but in fact he was also relieved. He himself had to admit that in the battle he had just won by tricks—not the above board victory that belonged to the chaotic concept. This should easily irritate the loser, and if the man named Sag shouts "I don't accept it" and wields a greatsword in a fight to the death, then Ashrufat will have to kill the other party with safety first—just like the last time.

However, only by the mouth of a high-ranking believer who is afraid of abuse can he get the information he needs.

That is why he made that declaration earlier. It must be said that this declaration is not a smart thing to do. If it weren't for the fact that Eshurufat's expression of "breathing so smoothly that it doesn't look like he was fighting" just now confused the other party (both Sag and Flint believed that Eshurufat was far from exerting all his strength), in fact, it would be really difficult to say whether this battle would have been won or lost. Even if Ashrufat wins, he will have to pay a certain price, let alone fulfill his previous promise to defeat the opponent without killing the opponent.

Sag stood up respectfully.

"There's one thing I want to ask you. Ashrufat asked.

"Listen to the commands. ”

Ashrufat carefully described the events of the Star Carving, of course, not directly, but after some roundabouts and cover-ups. After so much time and so many questions, Ashrufat was already skilled at asking the question.

But, like all the sadomists that Ashrufat had asked before (including those "former" sadists), Sag said that it was absolutely impossible. He confessed that it was almost impossible for a high-ranking believer to do such a thing as carrying a captive of little value on a long journey. This is by no means a style of abusive believers. By his own admission, killing the captives on the spot was the best way to please the Blood God—and that's what he did.

As everyone else said, the only exception to this is when the captives also become followers of the Blood God. In this case, if the leader lacks subordinates, he will indeed free the captives and allow him to become subordinates.

Of course, there are other cases, such as the captive being very valuable and valuable, the captive and the victor being old acquaintances, and so on. In such cases, the sober-minded - sadistic believers or not - will keep the captives to play a greater role. But this cannot be the case between Startick and the Bloodfang Lord. So there is only one final answer.

"You mean...... The only explanation for her survival is that she also became a believer in the Blood God?"

This can only be explained. ”

"Is there any other possibility?"

"No more. Unless the victor changes sides halfway through for some reason. Sag replied. "Let's say, before he killed the captive, he chose another god as the main god. Then the captive is likely to be released. ”

Ashrufat thought for a moment, although he already knew that Xingke had superb combat power, but he couldn't imagine that Xingke would worship the blood god. No, maybe things shouldn't be thought that way. You know, under the threat of death, some things are not so incredible. But the question is......

Sager's words interrupted his train of thought.

"My lord, did you just say 'she', not 'he', is it a woman?"

"Is there any difference between men and women?" Ashrufat did not answer directly, but rhetorically.

"Well, I suddenly remembered something...... The Blood God had previously issued an oracle. Sag said. "He hopes to get a female Chaos Lord. ”

"What?Chaos Lord?"

"If anyone can bring a female high-ranking believer to the Blood God, then the Blood God will give him an unimaginable reward......" This time it was Flint who spoke. "But isn't this a rumor? There's another term for this rumor, it's called 'The Sadistic Bride'. It is said that the blood god wants to find a mortal bride for himself. ”

"It shouldn't be a rumor. Sag replied. "The Blood God really made such a promise. However, only the higher believers know about this...... Most others dismissed it as a rumor or a story. ”

"It's a pity that there is indeed a natural biological difference between men and women, whether this wish of the blood god is true or not, at least so far, no one has heard of such a female Chaos Lord under the command of a terrorist and sadistic person. Flint said.

Ashrufat looked at Sag, after all, the words that came from the mouth of a horophobic champion samurai, and there was no doubt about their reliability. Suddenly, he finds himself in the truth.

On the battlefield, capture rather than kill your opponents...... Thousands of miles away, leaving with captives...... Although he lost the White Fort, he did not choose to accumulate forces nearby to prepare for a counterattack, but only went all the way north......

The Bloodfang Lord's unpredictable actions, if combined with this oracle, would suddenly have a reasonable explanation. If it's really a sadistic Chaos Lord who wants to find a female Chaos Lord for himself...... Well, judging by what he knew, Starmark might be just right.

At that time, Xingke defended the Great Temple and killed hundreds of ...... Maybe more Chaos Warriors. Rhodia also said before that Xingke once "abolished" dozens of strong men by himself. Ashrufat hadn't seen Starcar's skills with his own eyes, but anyway, he had asked Lalia about the details of the battle at that time.

If that's really the reason...... This means that his previous plan. That is, the plan to find the star and then sneak it away...... It's completely impossible. Worse still, if Startick becomes a Chaos Lord of the Sadomasochism......

"What is this rumor ...... 'sadistic bride' more specific?" Ashrufat asked Flint.

"Nothing more specific. Flint looked at Eshurufat's expression, a little surprised. It was the first time he had seen Ashrufat's face look so frightened, "Well, it's the Blood God who wants a female Chaos Lord. And he will give unimaginable rewards to those who complete this task, that is, the people who bring him female Chaos Lords. ”

"Unthinkable rewards?"

"I guess it means to give something. Flint replied hesitantly. He had sensed that the rumor might not be so simple—not so simple for Ashrufat.

"But to become a Chaos Lord, you have to be faithful, right?" Ashrufat struggled to convince himself. But when he said that, he knew how wrong he was.

He himself is a living example of this. At this moment, he still wears a ring on his hand that symbolizes his identity as a Chaos Lord, and he still wears the armor of this Chaos Lord. But he didn't feel like a Slaanesh or Tzeentch at all—but that didn't stop him from becoming Lord of Chaos.

Even in the books written by the church, it is said that evil gods are very thorough realists, and they are used to handing out olive branches to the strong.

Moreover, the Chaos Gods do not have to be worshipped by believers. There is another way for the gods - this way, Ashruphat has already felt it on Slaanesh's side. That kind of seductive power, maybe as long as a little trance is overlooked, people will fall into it.

Ashruphat himself didn't know what the reason for his ability to resist Slaanesh's unusual allure was. Was it because he was so strong-willed, or maybe Slaanesh didn't exert all his strength, or maybe he communicated with Slaanesh through the guò ornament, and he only had to remove it from his forehead to interrupt that communication.

If this spiritual communication with the evil god was infinite (instead of stopping by removing the object from the forehead)...... If the whispers of the evil gods never cease to echo in your ears...... Perhaps no human being can hold himself up in that situation. StarCarving is no exception.

He froze, completely unaware that his face was already gloomy.

"If this 'sadistic bride' is indeed found, where will she be taken?" Ashrufat asked. He knew that the Bloodfang Lord was heading north, but he didn't know where he was going.

"Fear of abuse within the territory. Flint replied. "Definitely take it there. ”

"Territory of Terrorism? What is that?"

"North, more north. Legend has it that in the far north, there is a fortress of terror. There is its private territory. ”
