Section 189 Deception

This sentence had a noticeable effect. The little girl's expression was gloomy for a while, although she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't continue the topic.

"And this. Ashruphat took a book and placed it in front of the little girl. "Look at this. ”

This is a book written by the church, half text, half pictures, and it can be described as illustrated. The book is an introduction to evil gods, barbarians, and demons. According to the Church, the so-called evil god is actually the strongest of the demons, and he is so powerful that he cannot use his true body to enter this material world—just like a cat can enter and exit a cowpen at will, but a real cow cannot enter or exit.

Eshurufat's finger rested on a drawing of a demon. This painting is not really a portrait, but just something that the artist draws casually according to his own imagination and other people's descriptions. As the book says, there are actually countless types of demons, and they all vary greatly in appearance, body shape, personality, and even magical abilities. But it is to be admitted in any book that the power of demons far exceeds that of mortals. Only those who receive the favor of evil gods can have the ability to summon and command demons.

"This ......," Ashrufat's finger rested on the head of the demon in the painting. This demon has a pair of long goat horns that look somewhat familiar. "It's your ......"

The little girl suddenly remembered what had happened that day. On that day, Byron staged a coup d'état and took control of the Eagle Falcon City, and the little girl could only flee in panic. In order to break through the heavily guarded gates, Ashruphat summoned a demon.

Well, no one talks about it anymore – if anyone remembers, he knows how to keep his mouth shut – but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened. At least the little girl saw everything clearly at that time. She had clearly seen Ashruphat summon demons.

"You ......" her gaze rose along her hand until she reached her face. No, it's impossible, Ashrufat is not a believer in the evil gods, and the little girl believes in this very much.

"I do summon demons. Ashrufat said softly. "Although I don't know what the Tao is for, I have this. ”

He pulled out a stone with a dark green sheen from his pocket. There is a symbol carved on the stone that a little girl can't read. Apart from this symbol and color, there is nothing worth paying attention to in this stone at all. It is extremely irregular, no different from the gravel that has fallen off the mountain, and there are no traces of artificial processing on it.

"What is this?" asked the little girl.

"Its name...... It should be called the Abyss Magic Stone. Ashrufat replied. "It's ......," he wanted to say, but he changed his words after that. "It can be used to summon demons. ”

"Summoning demons, with this stone?"

"Well, summon and control demons. I don't know what the road is, but when he said the word "control", Ashrufat seemed to be a little lacking in confidence, and his pronunciation was very light. "This demon has a special ability, it is omniscient...... Able to discern people's hearts, analyze lies and truths. I think the reason why I got it had something to do with this ability of demons. ”

Ashrufat's tone seemed to reveal something on his mind. But the little girl didn't notice this. Her whole mind was fascinated by this particular stone.

Speaking of which, the last time Ashruphat summoned the demon, he did take out this stone. But that time, the little girl didn't have the leisure to pay attention to this. However, no matter how the little girl looked at this abyss magic stone over and over again, she couldn't see anything unusual. The stone does not have anything else to attract attention other than the special symbols and colors on it.

"This ...... Does it have anything to do with evil gods?" the little girl asked.

"I guess it's okay. Ashrufat replied cautiously. "Tomorrow is the last opportunity. He clenched his fists. "I'm going to test it again with this thing. At least I learned about it...... How big is this game laid by the other party. ”

......

When Jaime reached the outpost, he sensed something was wrong.

It wasn't that the order was fake—the soldier had informed General Essrubat that he wanted to see him, and Ashrufat was indeed waiting for him here—but that there was no one else around.

As a general, commanding a large army to attack the city of Fornoros, Eshurufat can be said to have a heavy army. Now the main force of the troops under the command of the little queen is here. According to a deep-rooted custom, a general of such a status will always have a personal escort to follow. When Jaime had spoken to Ashruphat in the Great Tent before, there were two guards standing at the door of the Great Tent, although there was no one else in the Great Tent. As long as the sound is slightly louder, the two guards can hear it.

But now there is only one person in Ashrufat. This shows that it was a secret meeting.

What did Eshuruphat want to talk to him, an ordinary retinue?, Jaime was confused and curious, mixed with a hint of excitement. Some intuition told him that Ashruphat had come here for some other purpose.

"James. Ashrufat took the initiative to greet him. Jaime hesitated, but walked over anyway. He had already looked around - since the city of Fornoros had been breached, there were no more enemy troops here, and the idlers did not dare to approach easily, so the outpost towers were of little significance, and there were no soldiers stationed here. Why did Ashrufat choose to meet here?

"Your Excellency. Jaime spoke.

"Come here. Eshurufat nodded, motioning for Jaime to follow. The tower is slightly higher and has a depression on the side. It was towards this empty hollow that Ashrufat walked to.

Jaime hesitated again, but was able to follow suit. He couldn't even figure out what Ashrufat was trying to do.

"Jaime," Ashruphat paused, smiling at his new retinue. "I would like to ask, where are Byron's two grandsons?"

"Ah...... This ......," Jaime instinctively wanted to repeat what he had repeated many times. But before he could say "I don't know where the road has gone in the midst of the chaos", he noticed the subtlety in the atmosphere. He opened his mouth, but he didn't make a sound.

"Is the Lord of Deceit behind this??Who is your superior??, where has the child been sent?" Ashruphat asked.

Jaime made a smile as fast as he could. "Master, are you misunderstanding......"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. An indescribably heavy aura came from the side, a supernatural energy, so strong that even human skin could clearly feel it, surging through the air. In Jaime's sight, a figure slowly appeared in the empty air.

It was a strange figure of strength and majesty, with a body that was more majestic than tall, and although it was crouching at this time, it had already surpassed James's height. If it had stood up straight, the top of Jaime's head would probably only reach between his chest and abdomen. This height does not include the pair of large spiral-shaped horns on its head. The monster's lower limbs are hooves, its eyes are mixed with madness and reason, and a huge evil power flows out of the monster's body, directly turning the grass under his body at this time black.

Demons! Although Jaime had never had the opportunity to witness a demon with his own eyes, he had long known about the existence of such monsters from countless word of mouth and countless pictures of the classics! Demons were the subordinates of Chaos, and they were usually far above the mortal followers of the evil gods. Only those who are truly favored by the evil gods and truly blessed by Chaos, such as a Chaos Lord, have the ability to control and dominate demons. And this domination and control is also unreliable, because demons are not willing to submit to the will of mortals. Once he loses the favor of the evil god, this unlucky babe can easily become a target of the devil, torn to shreds by this former servant.

But here...... There were only two people here, him and Ashrufat. The demon appeared, and Ashrufat's still calm expression, his still smiling lips, clearly explained how the demon came out.

This Ashrufat...... Jaime was shocked to grasp the reality. Have you been treated like a monkey by this person? Tzeentch, this is too ...... It's outrageous. Still is...... His true master, the Chaos Wizard Marven, has lost the favor of the gods?Or is this just a foreshadowing of Tzeentch's arrangement? No, this Essrubat is a general who commands a large army, and it is obviously not normal to use it as a foreshadowing line...... So it's Marven who foreshadowed it?

He turned his gaze back to the demon, which had been condensed into a physical entity. But he couldn't tell which faction this demon belonged to. The demon's body muscles bulged and its eyes flashed with a crazy light, which should be the characteristic of a sadistic demon, but it didn't have the red color that sadomasochism liked. Its fur was disgusting and disgusting, and the smell of uncleanness was unusually strong, characteristic of the demon of Nurgle, but its body was not swollen, rotten, or cracked. Its body is mutated significantly, very different from humans in every way, and it can also feel the flow of magical winds, which is characteristic of Tzeentch Demon, but its mutation is more like a mouse than a bird. It is very agile and agile, which is another characteristic of the demon of Slaanesh, but its appearance is not pretty.

In short, this demon is a four-like. Or maybe Jaime wasn't good enough to see which evil god this demon belonged to. But at least one thing is certain, this General Ashrufat is not a stranger who knows nothing about chaos, as he expected. Rather, a Chaos Lord favored by the gods (though it is impossible to tell which one) he has the ability to summon and dominate demons.

"You should be a servant of the Lord of Deceit, right?" asked Ashrufat.

"Yes, sir. Jaime replied with a shudder. Although he knew that the gods of the Dao Dao had reached some kind of tacit agreement, no matter which god Aerufat was the favorite of, since he had the power to dominate the demons, he could kill Jaime as he pleased, without worrying about any consequences—James's true master, the wizard lord Marven, would never say anything more about it. If Marven could still know the Tao afterwards.

Eshuruphat squinted at the demon, and from some magical connection, he knew that Jaime was not lying.

"Where is Byron's grandson?" asked Ashrufat.

"I've been sent away, my lord. Jaime replied. He didn't dare to lie, a Chaos Lord who had the power to control demons always had a way to distinguish the real from the fake. "I used the scroll that my master gave me and they were sent to a ...... Safe from afar. ”
