Wiltok tried to cure Annie and Katie's mental damage. The two old adventurers thought that he had some special affection for Annie and Katie, so they did not hesitate to rescue them from the Bone Collector gang. After all,
, they are young and beautiful, have outstanding appearance, and are professionals who have graduated from college, so they are very attractive to the young men in Braun Town.
However, they should not use common sense to speculate on Wiltok's thoughts. In fact, Wiltok's purpose is very pure. The case of the hobgoblin enslaving the half-elves aroused his strong interest, and he is eager to intervene. The focus is on full observation and participation.
The end result doesn't really matter.
Therefore, Wiltok never thought about what to do with Anne and Katie after they returned to normal?
Max bluntly warned him that Anne and Katie, who had returned to normal, might reveal their secrets, and the consequences were unpredictable. Wiltok using his extraordinary charm to turn them into personal maids was a good choice, but it was not the best choice.
A safe approach. Because they are not ordinary female professionals. They have backgrounds in city-state academies and famous golden sunflower families. Taking them back to the alliance city-state may cause trouble.
Max asked Wiltok to consider whether to take Annie and Katie with him first, and then leave them behind after finding the half-elf settlement.
Wiltok decisively rejected the other party's proposal. How could he let go of rare special cases like Anne and Katie? He did not set a time limit on the treatment and observation of the two people. As for the subsequent troubles, he would figure out a solution at that time.
Seeing that Wiltok was resolute, Max said nothing more. He only said that it was not convenient for him and Huck to take care of the two young women. Things like undressing and bathing them had to be done by Wiltok himself. Otherwise, they would suffer in the future.
It would be very embarrassing to become Vertok's personal maid.
Wiltok must admit that compared to Huck, who is obedient to him, many of Max's suggestions are of reference value. Although he and Max think about problems in different ways, he is trying to learn from Mike.
Si’s life experience.
For example, Max's suggestion to first recruit his subordinates, cultivate his power, and then carefully investigate the clues about Wiltok's persecution is a very reasonable suggestion.
Wiltok fully agreed with his point of view and was not in a hurry to rush to the town of Carwen in Rapids. However, they still had to find a half-elf settlement as soon as possible and return to the civilized country.
The wild jungle is full of dangers and dangers. Deadly poisonous insects and beasts are just the tip of the iceberg. Most victims often die of hunger, thirst, hypothermia, heatstroke, and energy exhaustion. These are collectively called getting lost. The forest is full of deadly traps that are difficult to detect.
, just like the hiding spot that Max chose for himself was covered with poisonous thorns and there was no stable water source. There were no birds and animals here, so it was certainly safe to hide in it, but if Wiltok hadn't found Max, he wouldn't have been able to hold on for too long.
time.
In fact, most of the plants in the forest are inedible, and most areas are not suitable for survival. Otherwise, it would not be called a virgin forest, but a prosperous and rich city-state.
In a sense, the wild forest is a natural barrier to protect the city-state from invasion by foreign enemies. Just imagine how difficult it would be for a huge number of invaders to cross the forest where food and water are extremely scarce. Wiltok only has a few companions.
They have very few restrictions on their activities.
The most urgent task is to find a water source.
This is not difficult for Vertok, who has absorbed the memory of the hobgoblin. The problem of Annie and Katie is a bit tricky. They have basically lost the ability to communicate with others, and have no desire to communicate. They have no desire to fight side by side and resist together.
The orcs' companions showed strong resistance. Although they retained some living habits of civilized countries, they only showed that there was still a chance to return to normal. Before that, they refused to cooperate with Vertok's actions and even waited for an opportunity to escape.
Max, who has been cursed by the cold heart, needs the care of his companions. Wiltok and Huck can no longer carry two women on their shoulders.
In order to make them more obedient and less troublesome for everyone, Wiltok decided to correct some of their bad habits first. His method was to beat them until they were scared.
Vertok removed the ropes from their bodies, took off the damaged armor and armor, picked a vine whip, and aimed at the two half-elf women indiscriminately and whipped them hard.
Katie, who is petite, was doing well. After being beaten, she huddled up in a ball, trembling and crying, and did not dare to resist. The agile Annie was more vicious than Katie, and she also tried to fight back against Wiltok.
.
Although Anne had forgotten the fighting skills of the archer, the physical fitness of the second-level professional was still there. She grabbed with her hands, kicked with her feet, butted with her head, bit her teeth, and stubbornly resisted Wiltok's whipping. Finding that resistance was ineffective,
She actually started running away again.
Wiltok let Annie run for a while, then he grabbed her back and threw her to the ground. He hit her with two whips on her round and curvy buttocks. He started very measuredly, leaving a series of hot whip marks, but there were no traces of them.
As for Anne, her skin was torn and she was unable to move.
The endurance of professionals is far beyond that of ordinary half-elves. Despite Annie's usual delicate appearance, she can fully withstand such a level of beating and whipping, take a short rest, and then jump up and run away.
Anne's endless escapes, Vertok caught her back every time to thwart her attempts.
Huck and Max were hiding on the other side, taking a peek from time to time. Later, they found that the scene of Wiltok training Annie was really a bit eye-catching. The two old guys felt that they could not watch any more, so they turned their backs and dressed up.
Deaf and dumb.
Wiltok carried Anne back with long legs and slender waist. Anne even took the initiative to raise her butt and let him spank her twice. Then she ran away and was caught again, and so on. On the surface, they all seemed to be enjoying it, but if they left the half-elf behind,
If you have a general understanding, you will find that there is a meaning closer to the essence of life.
Wiltok has noticed that the mental bodies of Anne and Katie have been distorted by the secret ritual held by the hobgoblin, and the human part of the soul's will has been destroyed. One by one, the animal part of the will begins to gain the upper hand.
.The changes in the mental body are fed back to their bodies, and their reaction speed, resistance to blows, wound recovery, pain tolerance, physical fitness and other characteristics are slightly improved.
This is especially obvious in Anne. She is not a beast, but the wildness in her body is growing and growing. To describe it in one word, it is - becoming violent.
Yes, if this trend continues, Annie may become violent.
As for Katie, she is an intelligent animal trainer, and intelligent species with smart minds are particularly difficult to become violent.
Unfortunately, the transformation of their minds and bodies does not occur naturally. When it involves hobgoblin rituals, special potions and other human factors, there must be major purposeful flaws.
To put it simply, Vertok has killed the hobgoblin leader of the Bone Collector gang, but Annie and Katie still want to run back to the hobgoblin master, even if they have turned into two dead bodies and been eaten by scavengers.
Go into the stomach.
There are artificial flaws in their cognition - it is difficult to escape the effective control of the hobgoblin.
Max and Huck only saw Wiltok using torture and teasing methods to train Annie, but if Wiltok left her alone and Annie found a chance to successfully escape, she would definitely die!
When it's a matter of life and death, who cares whether you're ashamed or not?
Vertok was not training a beautiful young half-elf woman, he was taming a beast. Apart from that, he had no better way, and his attempt to suppress Anne's wild instincts had not yet succeeded.
Wiltok captured Annie again and again, but she still had to escape in the direction of the Bone Collector's camp.
...There is no other way but to endure.
Let’s see who can’t stand it first!
Annie pulled Vertok into a cat-and-mouse game, and it was already annoying enough for him to catch her. Katie, who was ready to move, would join in the fun from time to time, but was suppressed by Vertok. The three of them tossed around all night long.
The next morning, the exhausted Anne finally calmed down.
Wiltok also felt tired, mainly mentally, but he still fed Annie and Katie food and water, and then tied them up with ropes. From now on, neither Wiltok nor Huck would have to carry them.
If they are in a hurry, they can walk by themselves.
This can be regarded as the result of Wiltok's busy afternoon and whole night's work.
Max suppressed his laughter and ran over to ask Wiltok: "Sir, what are we doing now?"
Wiltok held the two wild half-elves and said: "Find the water source first. If you find the water source, you will know the approximate direction of the nearest settlement."
"Okay, let's go!" Huck picked up a rattan basket full of supplies and shouted happily.
After they climbed over the slope of the valley and gradually walked away, a figure with dark skin stood up from the bushes on the other side of the valley. He was none other than Captain Rhodes, who had completed symbiosis with the "Eternal Sleeper" child.
Rhodes has been quietly following Max. He witnessed the members of the Iron Cross and Max parting ways, but it didn't matter whether the former slave traders were dead or alive. His goal was to capture Wiltok and then bring him back.
Take it to the place designated by the Eternal Sleeper to complete the final sacrifice.
Therefore, Rhodes followed Max to this barren valley of thorns, lurking nearby, patiently waiting for the arrival of Wiltok.
However, Rhodes was just afraid of losing track of Max and thus missing Wiltok's whereabouts. He had no intention of attacking Wiltok here.
Although the body of the Eternal Sleeper gave him powerful strength and a nearly immortal body, he did not forget that there was a god sleeping in Wiltok's body. After spending so many days together with Wiltok, Rhodes did not see his true identity clearly.
I just feel that Wiltok is becoming more and more unfathomable.
What's more, Vertok also has Hack, who masters the heart of the realm, beside him.
The fighting skills of the strong mirror heart can only be described as miraculous. As a third-level shield guard, Huck also has the ability of vigilant heart. Every ten seconds, he can predict a fatal attack. Rhodes cannot sneak attack.
Huck, kill him with one blow. He is not even sure of defeating Huck.
There is still room for growth in the Eternal Sleeper child body, and it needs to absorb more intelligent and spiritual flesh and blood to gain full strength. However, the special form of symbiotic child body allows Rhodes to release his spiritual power. The symbiotic child body helps him control his body, and he
You can strengthen your thinking and your mind will become smarter.
Rhodes knew very well that his ability had not yet reached the upper limit of the symbiote, and he might not be able to kill Huck yet. However, he had to kill Huck first before he could have a chance to capture Wiltok alive.
In this case, he could only wait patiently for the opportunity for Wiltok to be alone.
Rhodes lurked in the bushes next to the valley, stopped breathing and heartbeat, and was kept in a state of suspended animation by the symbiote body, thereby avoiding the keen perception of the dark hunter Max. During the period of lurking, Rhodes' mental power only used
He was good at monitoring and thinking. He thought of many questions and also eavesdropped on some of Wiltok's secrets.
First of all, if Wiltok can be directly captured by violence, why does the "Eternal Sleeper" need to retain Rhodes' self-will?
The "Eternal Sleeper" actually relied on Rhodes' wisdom. He wanted to complete the sacrifice task designated by the "Eternal Sleeper", but faced many difficulties. It was obviously impossible to rely solely on strong personal force.
Secondly, symbiosis with the sub-body is a road of no return. Sooner or later, the "Eternal Sleeper" sub-body will completely assimilate Rhodes. If he completes the sacrifice mission, will his death date come?
For Rhodes, whether to complete the sacrifice mission is no longer the primary goal. He needs to weigh the gains and losses, buy time, and find ways to solve his own problems.
He is not a fanatical believer in the "Eternal Sleeper". Selling the "Eternal Sleeper" to Wiltok is also an option!
This is exactly in line with the cunning characteristics of the Abyss Demon.
Rhodes was glad that he did not act rashly. He overheard the conversation between Wiltok and Max. It turned out that Wiltok had an unknown powerful enemy in the Disa Alliance. Their power was so huge that they even colluded with the Goblin Kingdom to do shady things.
Things of light.
There are precious opportunities hidden under the curtain of conspiracy. As long as he keeps a close eye on Wiltok, Rhodes has the opportunity to profit from it and become the final winner.
He jumped down into the valley, picked up the vine whip that Wiltok had used to whip Annie and Katie, and stretched out his scarlet tongue to lick the remaining blood on the vine whip.
The faint sweetness of the blood stimulated the symbiote, and Rhodes's eyes were as dark as ink; two canine teeth protruded from his lips; the muscles of his hands squirmed and quickly turned into a pair of terrifying claws.
He whispered with a strange smile: "The blood of pure girls is so sweet...the blood of professionals is full of vitality...I remember, you can't run away, I can always find you."
Rhodes threw down his cane whip and cast his dark eyes toward the east. That was the direction in which the survivors of the Iron Cross Regiment evacuated.
He was unwilling to give up his identity, and also needed to use the leader of the Iron Cross to accumulate wealth and connections. As Huck said, Leeson and others cannot stay to prevent them from betraying their secrets.
The demonized half-elf struggled for a long time, and finally lowered his head and murmured to himself: "I'm sorry, old friends... The arrogant Mr. Wiltok disdains the business of killing people and silencing them, so I will do it for him."
Let him serve...your family will be taken care of."
