After hearing this, Aiwass was finally able to determine what had just happened.
His previous intuitive judgment was indeed correct. This was indeed someone "using his life to send a message"!
"……I see."
Sherlock also reacted simultaneously: "By cursing the troll curser, we were brought here.
"That's why the curse only lasted for a short moment, and it was not repeated after being stopped; and even though it knew that it had been discovered, it did not move at all...
"It's not that an ambush has been prepared here at all - it's this old troll who is using this method to tell us the location of 'Mr. Red Wine'."
But soon, Sherlock had doubts: "But, how did you know that we were near Her Royal Highness?"
This was a point he couldn't reason out - if the old troll was imprisoned here, how did he get the information about them?
Could it be that just as Cardinal Loki can monitor the Theocracy, he can also monitor Cardinal Loki here?
"No, I do not know."
The old troll crossed his legs, sat on the ground, and answered honestly.
He calmly and slowly replied: "But I know that the three of them will definitely come to the Theocracy. And I also know that with their personalities, they will probably get into some trouble.
"I calculated the time, and they should have arrived for a while now. So I cast a curse on Zumaidi at almost noon. With their personalities, the three of them were probably looking for food at this time. When Zumaidi caused a commotion,
If I take the time to curse Bablu... I should be able to attract people here.
"I can only say that luck was on my side. I succeeded on the first try."
……No wonder.
Bram gritted his teeth.
He actually felt a bit disharmonious just now.
"Old Rabih", who had been silent and enduring ever since he was arrested, suddenly softened his attitude and started chatting with himself!
But he didn't think much about it at that time, thinking it was because the other party had already figured it out - after all, going to the ancient Parthian country was indeed much better than staying in the tropical rain forest of the southern continent. The "career profile" he had introduced to Lao Rabich before
It wasn't half false, he really thought it was a good job.
The power of the Good Lord is greater than that of the monarchs of Avalon and Star Antimony!
Those are the true absolute rulers. Whoever dares to resist them will have no water to drink; if anyone dares to kill them, a city will be destroyed because of the lack of water supply.
In Bram's view, this is a real win-win——
Being the most trusted secret servant of such a ruler with absolute power and arbitrariness, isn't it much better than being the tribal leader of a group of trolls, hiding in the depths of the rainforest without entertainment every day, eating raw meat and chewing herbs?
For a suspicious benefactor, the most important thing is "trust", and the troll slave who has no social relations and whose life is in his own hands is the most trustworthy person. He will definitely be reused, and even
Expensive life-extending drugs are available.
——In the end, who would have thought that this old guy would really rather go back to the tropical rain forest where there is nothing.
In order to stab himself in the back, he even did not hesitate to curse and kill the people who were loyal to him!
Hearing this, Sherlock also narrowed his eyes slightly.
He realized that this old troll was not a good person.
Although it was a coincidence that Pure White happened to be nearby when Zumaidi was cursed... But if Pure White were not here, the final result would be the same. As long as one of the trolls among them dies, then the teaching will
The use of curses to commit murder will alert the Church of Nine Pillars.
It is different from Avalon where many people die every day even on the Glass Island.
In a Theocracy with good enough security, the killing of anyone is considered a big deal - even though the trolls have a low status, in a sense they are more worth caring about.
In the Theocracy, this can be regarded as a kind of "political correctness". Although it is not a show for anyone, one's own heart - or path cannot be rebellious.
Because any clergy with any status must pay great attention to the fact that "a young troll came to the Theocracy to rescue the kidnapped tribal leader, and the kidnapped leader had to conduct secret transactions with people in the Theocracy, and the young troll went on the streets during the investigation."
"Being cursed to death" kind of thing.
——There are too many BUFFs.
If you back down here, I'm afraid your dedication will be shaken——
Do you think this is too dangerous, or are you afraid of trouble? Are you discriminating against trolls and unwilling to contribute to them? The Theocracy prohibits human trade and treats trolls as people rather than commodities. Why don't you stop the trade? Kill people in the street
, even being cursed to death by the Curse Master, why did you turn a blind eye?
Even the tribal leader can be regarded as a monarch in a certain sense. And the political leaders of the local forces were destroyed and harmed by external non-native supernatural beings... This is also the main direction of the Theocracy's sanctions.
——This old troll named "Old Rabich" fully understands the pain points of the elves.
Even Bram, who captured him here, probably doesn't know the elves as well as Old Rabich.
And in order to achieve all these goals.
Just "cursing him to be injured" is not enough to alarm the church's top brass.
The curse only took effect for a short moment, and then was automatically revoked. This could only be regarded as a threat or a prank; if the curse was too light, then the bishop would probably only dispel it. Even the three young trolls themselves would not pay attention to it.
, on the contrary, you will feel that this kind of thing is irrelevant and there are too many of them in the Southern Continent.
It must be a death curse, and it must cause a quick and painful death. Only in this way will everyone take it seriously.
——From the very beginning, Old Rabich planned to personally curse two of the three trolls who came to rescue him.
"...I seem to know you."
Sherlock frowned and asked: "Are you the prototype of "Escape from the Troll and the Wizard"?"
Hearing this, Aiwas also raised his gaze and looked at the troll carefully.
He has also read this novel - it is not a literary classic, it can only be regarded as a casual book.
Its full name is "It tells the story of how a cruel troll wizard who was sold to the Kingdom of Star Antimony by slave traders deceived and killed his master and then escaped with his lover, the female troll Barbwood, and returned to the south after drifting on a raft for twenty-eight days.
The Story of the Continent".
——Yes, Iris is a popular book title now.
It’s not so much the title of the book as it is the introduction... Because these books are placed on the shelves, it is not easy to attract readers’ attention just by looking at the title. Without the recommendation of book reviewers, you will be spoiled for choice if you are not careful.
.
Your book is called "The Secret Love History of the Noble Lady", and you follow the trend by publishing "The Secret Love History of the Noble Lady". Readers who don't know about it may think it is a series. Maybe they are also looking forward to the next book "The Secret Love History of the Noble Master".
It's time to come out.
In this case, Brahm invented a new style of title:
He printed all the most eye-catching plots on the cover of the book in red capital letters, so that they could be seen clearly from a distance and became interested - this trend was driven by him.
The side effect is that these book titles are not easy to promote and difficult for readers to remember. So after these books become popular, he will contact major publishers to change the book's short name, make a new cover, and replace the previous book
The name bag becomes an introduction inside.
At least when it comes to writing bestsellers, Brahm is truly a genius.
"What are you going to do with him?"
Aiwass looked at Pure White.
"Lock him up first."
Chunbai lowered his head and explained: "According to the general process, this kind of prisoner should first contact the country where he is located for extradition, or authorize punishment..."
"I am an iris person! I am an iris person!"
Bram shouted loudly: "Please contact the Speaker! I also want a lawyer!"
"——However, what happened to him not only involved an ongoing troll trade, but was even related to the remnants of giants. At the same time, he also launched an attack on the Pope's guards. Therefore, after dealing with other crimes on him, we will
We will not contact anyone until all his secrets are revealed."
Chunbai then said calmly.
"...Tsk."
Bram clicked his tongue.
But Aiwass noticed that even so... Bram didn't seem very scared.
At this moment, Bram suddenly looked at Aiwass.
"Don't think you can escape, Aiwass! Isn't it fun to help people?"
He shouted loudly, even breaking his voice: "When you see me, my Lord can smell your breath!
"When you fall asleep, the sharp claws will burn your flesh and blood——"
Poof——
Aiwass suddenly stepped forward, raised the heavy scepter in his hand, and hit Bram hard on the face with one stick!
In an instant, he coughed up blood, which was splashed with broken teeth. The severe pain made his tears well up instinctively.
As a fourth-level devotee on the path of devotion, Aiwass has excellent physical fitness. Although it is not as good as a melee profession like Haina, it can be considered a mid-range profession - at least better than an agility type such as a hunter-assassin.
The physics profession is much stronger.
His power caused Bram to faint instantly.
Aiwass raised his hand slightly, and the light instantly healed Bram's injury.
"The reason why I was targeted is between me and Xiong Tiansi."
He wasn't angry, he just said calmly.
"you……"
When Bram woke up in a daze and opened his eyes, without waiting for him to reply, Aiwass hit him with another stick!
"——You are not qualified to call me."
"I……"
"Rejoice, if Her Majesty the Saint hadn't been here, I would have burned you to death."
This went back and forth three or four times, until all the teeth in Bram's mouth were knocked out by Aiwass.
Because teeth are not flesh and blood - the loss of bones cannot be instantly restored through lighting. At least at the level of divine magic, "tooth loss" is considered a disability... just like a broken limb, which can only be cured through rituals
.
When Bram was healed by Aiwass and woke up again, his eyes looked at Aiwass with a little more fear.
Aiwass raised the scepter again, preparing to strike. Bram subconsciously closed his eyes, shrank his neck, and shed tears instinctively.
But the scepter in Aiwass's hand did not fall.
"Go and repent...even though you don't know how to."
Aiwass just glanced at Bram contemptuously, turned around and left.
Lily followed Aiwass immediately, followed by Sherlock.
Two of the three trolls stayed here and supported the old troll, including Zumaidi, who was almost killed by his curse. On the contrary, as the grandson of the old troll, the tan-skinned "little
"Rabbih" hesitated for a moment, then followed Aiwass out.
After realizing his weakness, Bram was stunned for a while but suddenly cried:
"mom, Mom, Mom……"
With all his teeth knocked out, he screamed vaguely.
Ever since he left Avalon, his journey has been smooth sailing, and he has never encountered any setbacks... In a sense, he is still the same young man who only thought about how to resist his father.
"Take him away and lock him up in the 18th circle."
Chunbai waved his hand and ordered: "I will interrogate him alone later."
He must be tortured to find out where he stole the source blood needed to steal the giant's bloodline power.
Pure white thought.
...It can’t really be you, Cardinal Loki?
She looked at Old Rabbih, thought for a moment and added: "Let's also find out who the buyer is and give him a warning.
"These people are becoming more and more wanton - let them remember that the Holy Theocracy is not a place for their wanton behavior."
The saint, whose eyes were covered with white satin, ordered in a cold voice.
