Section 46 Promise

After dinner, the others rested. Ashu Rufate was responsible for the night-time service. Although it was under the control of the speechless panic tribe, there was no absolutely safe place in the chaos wilderness. However, this night-time service was not arranged by others, but he took the initiative to propose it.

As the night became darker, Ashurufat sat alone in front of the campfire, looking thoughtfully at the beating fire. Before he set out, or years ago, when he was a squire in Brassian, he had heard of the chaos of internal struggle. But at that time, he was just a casual look as strange things - but now, he seemed to have been involved.

Well, although his initial plan for this trip was to come quietly and leave quietly,...it seems that things can't be that simple anymore.

Chaos' internal struggle is ultimately about the four evil gods fighting for power and profit within. Of course, sometimes, especially when it comes to the outside world, the four evil gods can still be considered as a whole and stand together. For example, the Chaos Legion defeated by Ash Rufate before was like this. The believers of each evil god have formed a huge Chaos Legion to invade Groni. But this is only one side of the matter. On the other side, Ash Rufate took advantage of the opportunity of Chaos internal conflict to kill the originally most threatening Nurgur wizard, and then defeated the Blood Tooth Lord, who was originally difficult to deal with.

However, these methods are still the so-called "killing with a knife" (Ash Rufate is that knife). Now that he comes to Chaos Territory, he is facing a civil war between real swords and real guns.

Tsengchi's request is very simple: it wants to keep the speechless panic tribe. If Ashu Rufate can help it complete this, then he will tell Ashu Rufate everything about why the Star Ke was captured, where it is now, etc. Of course, if Ashu Rufate intends to rescue her, Tsengchi is willing to provide the next help.

However, like all smart businessmen, Tsengqi deliberately blurred whether the "next help" would cost an extra price. However, Ashu Rufate didn't really care about this. No matter what, Tsengqi really had a lot of eyes on him this time.

Although Ashu Rufate is actually a black magician, he doesn't really care about immortality. However, the effect of black magic is to extend life, rather than to make people truly immortal. From this point of view alone, Tsengchi is generous enough.

However, this incident still reveals some weirdness, or some things that are beyond logic and cannot be understood.

First of all, Ash Rufate knew a long time ago that the evil god didn't care about his believers - this sentence means that the evil god was happy to see the weak Chaos believers (even their own believers) being eliminated by the principle of "survival of the fittest" in battle. Chaos does not need weak people. Although the speechless panic tribe is a stronger tribe in the nearby area, it is just a tribe that does not even have the Chaos Lord. A tribe of this level cannot have the capital to make Tsengchi condescend specifically to consider their plans.

Then, in order to allow Ashu Rufate to complete this task, Tsengchi generously gave him the identity of a Chaos Lord - in fact, it was similar to Slaanes, and gave him a sign but without the kind of weapon and armor.

The second is that Tsengchi showed extraordinary generosity - as mentioned earlier, the highest reward for Chaos, ascending Demon, is just three coins worth two coins, and is given as a gift to Ash Rufate, who was first met.

The third one is even more troublesome. Ashu Rufate originally thought that it was a secret to come to Chaos Territory, but now it seems that the gods' eyes have stared at him. Although Tsengchi is very generous to him, he knows that if the two sides have broken down, Tsengchi will probably not be so easy to pass. Maybe killing Ashu Rufate, but it is easy to make Ashu Rufate no longer able to find Xingke.

In short, after careful thinking, Ashu Rufate felt that the whole thing was full of something wrong. Tsengchi and Sarene (if Tsengchi hadn't lie) had long been staring at Ashu Rufate's every move. Although Ashu Rufate himself felt that he did not seem to have such value.

He used his hand to find the female ornament from his body. Although he had not planned to do this at all, it seemed... maybe he should have made a new choice.

He put the hanger on his forehead.

A voice full of temptation suddenly appeared in my mind... To some extent, it was very similar to Tsengchi's approach. However, Tsengchi's voice was as calm as a mechanical one, while Slaanes' voice was always full of strange attraction. In fact, even Ash Rufate couldn't help but feel expectant and desire for this voice.

"...my knight...you finally called me..."

"I'm not yours." Ashu Rufate gritted his teeth and used his will to fight the temptation of Slaanesh. He didn't know what other Chaos believers would be like, but he had to concentrate to resist the desire that he had unconsciously produced deep in his heart. Slaanesh's voice - just the sound - had an indescribable attraction, which made people want to continue listening. And Ashu Rufate knew that this evil god had more than this temptation sound. It also had more things, such as the weird aromas he had seen before, those food and drinks (since Tsengchi could make such things as drunken blood, there was no reason Slaanesh could not make something similar), etc. If everything was concentrated and attacked him, then Ashu Rufate couldn't be sure whether he could resist that level of temptation.

He didn't even know what would happen if he could not withstand this temptation one day.

Slaanes responded with a shaken chuckling to this answer.

"Do you know about Tsengchi?" Ashu Ruffat decided to bring Tsengchi out to increase the cost of negotiations. "He didn't say 'mine', but he was much more generous."

Slaanes continued to laugh without answering.

"Tsengqi lied to me, right?" Ashu Rufate finally couldn't help it. "What kind of demon-summoning is a lie?"

"No, he is telling a lie, but it is also true." Slaanes finally stopped laughing. "My knight... Tsengchi's truth and lies are always mixed together. But this time, you can try to help it."

"You asked me to help it?"

"Yes, that's it." Slaanes replied. "He has given you the corresponding authority..."

“What the hell is it for?”

"Tsengqi still doesn't give up...it is still thinking of launching an attack on the southern kingdom again." Slaanes replied. "So, the speechless panic tribe has become a precious pawn. If it perishes, many of Tsengqi's plans will fail before they even begin. However...it is also beneficial to us. We also need its help."

Ash Rufat's mind flashed. Suddenly, he understood why Tsengchi was waiting for him in this tribe with drunken blood. It was Slaane! Well, the two evil gods had already agreed on this. Although from a rational point of view, there was nothing strange about this (the evil gods of Chaos are always like this, fighting and cooperating), it made him unable to help but feel that he was actually a piece that was moved around on the chessboard. And it was the kind that was unconscious.

Well, at least they are gods, and he is just a mortal, at most a mortal with a special physique. If you think about it this way, you will not be unacceptable. When he was the queen's personal guard, wasn't he such a pawn in the eyes of those big men? At most he was just a pawn that was not very obedient.

"Why do you need me?" Assassinated. "As long as you give the oracle, will this matter be settled immediately?"

"My knight, this is not possible. Because it violates the law of chaos."

"Aren't you the law of chaos?"

"The law is produced by us, but if we all destroy the law, what's the point?" said Slaanes. "Those who destroy the law are equivalent to breaking the balance... others will not allow it. The power of backlash will be very strong, and even Tsengqi is not willing to try the consequences... So Tsengqi will ask me for help, in an attempt to bypass the law... Hehe... Then I recommend you..."

"...Don't underestimate yourself, you are more important than you think... Tzekichi needs your strength, and I am the same... serving me, you will get what you want... I will give you the deepest happiness that you don't even have in your dreams..."

"I want to know where the star is engraved!" Ashu Rufate held the metal jewelry tightly, and the edges of this thing pierced deeply into his palm. With this pain, he could curb those abnormal desires in his heart. Perhaps it was because he had been talking to Slaanes for too long, or maybe it was because the other party had strengthened his charming ability. In short, now he must rely on the stimulation of pain to maintain his mind and not be immersed in Slaanes' words. The legendary Chaos Demon can crush the mind of the great hero with just a few words. It seems that this statement is not groundless. "And I want to take her back to Groni safely. This is my condition! As a reward for your service."

Slaanes was still laughing, but in the end, it answered.

"It's a pity to put forward such conditions...but, my knight, your heart at this moment does not mean eternity... As long as your heart does not change, I am willing to accept this agreement."

...

Ash Rufate moved the jewelry away from his forehead. He didn't know how much time it took for this conversation, but at this moment, he found that his sweat had wet his hair. The jewelry had been twisted and deformed under his huge wrist force.

But this is no longer important. Ashu Rufate threw this deformed and ineffective thing to the side. Then he raised his hand and looked at the ring on his finger.

At this moment, the symbol of Slaanes had already appeared on the ring, just opposite to the symbol of Tsengchi.

He looked at the ring carefully, and then turned the ring half a circle like the last time so that the part of the ring with the symbols could be covered by his fingers. Unless someone took his hand over and looked at it carefully, he would only think that this was a very ordinary gold ring. Such accessories are very common.

After doing this, Ashu Rufate realized that there was a big thing around him at some point.

It was a pair of armor.
