Chapter 51 Encounter

"I didn't have this qualification," Ash Rufate admitted. "But Slaanes gave me this qualification, didn't it?"

He had already thought it clearly. Whether it was Slaanezheim or Tsengchi, he had a lot of eyes on him - although he didn't know why, it was a fact.

All records illustrate the nature of the gods of Chaos. If the books in the church are not reliable enough, then what you see, hear and feel in the Chaos Tribe over the past few months can also explain the problem. If they have special care for someone, it means that the person has the value of being cared for: having enough strength or potential.

Not to mention anything else, Tsengqi gave him a great gift for the first time he had a spiritual exchange with him... Ascension. Although it is an incomplete version of Ascension, what is immortality? That is something that countless mortals dream of but cannot get. It is the ultimate desire of those believers who take the initiative to throw themselves into the arms of Chaos.

Slaanes is the same. Yes, although it did not give a big gift to meet like Tsengchi, it was also very good. It directly gave Eshu Rufate the identity of the Chaos Lord without any procedures, and then told him the secret behind the invading Chaos Legion. In addition, it also made various promises to Eshu Rufate (although Eshu Rufate did not accept those agreements in the end). If Tsengchi did not lie, the encounter between Asoven tribe and Asoven tribe was not accidental, but was made by careful planning (although Asoven tribe itself did not know about this conspiracy).

In the Asowen tribe, Ash Rufate also knew at least one thing: that is, the case of immediately giving up the Chaos Lord by the evil god by selling himself (in fact, it is impossible to even sell himself and surrender) being immediately given the status of Chaos Lord by the evil god, even if it is not a future generation, at least it is unprecedented. Among all legends, dogmas or rumors, if the protagonist wants to be promoted to status, he must go through one god after another, and only those who pass the postgraduate entrance examination can be promoted.

Of course, the difficulty of the test is stable. The evil god will never give you more difficult test content just because you are stronger. For the strong, passing (at least in the early stage) test is very simple, so the status improves quickly. For the weak, the main characters of those stories usually complete in a few months (at most one or two years). However, there has never been a person who has no need to do anything like Ash Rufate, or even a firm belief (not to mention "firm faith" or even "faith") who is easily promoted to the Lord of Chaos.

There must be a reason behind this kind of thing that is completely incompatible with the taste of the evil god. After careful analysis, Ashu Rufate finally believed that it was because he had some special value of use. Of course, it may be impossible for him to know what this "value" is. After all, the other party is a god, and he is just a mortal with some special abilities.

This is a transaction. As Ajin said, the most taboo thing in transaction negotiation is to worry about the other party's identity. A successful businessman must be fearless and love for interests is better than anything else. If a businessman shrinks in negotiations because of the other party's status and dares not offer a price, he is definitely not a qualified businessman. Even if the other party is a king, a duke, or a merchant should earn a lot of money. The price he should cut must be firmly cut, and he must never take out half a copper coin.

Ashu Rufate is not a businessman, but this does not prevent him from adhering to Ajin's principles at this moment.

"..." Tsengqi's voice calmed down for the time being and did not answer.

Ashu Rufate didn't speak, no, he didn't think with his brain. It was easier to talk to Tsengchi because it didn't have the evil charm of Slaanes in its voice that made people shake their will. But even so, he had to be careful. After all, he was communicating with a god now.

However, he believed in his judgment. There is a saying that goes? "The servant is like a master." You can understand the master's style by looking at the servant. A slow master will never have an impatient servant.

As for what Tsengqi's style is... Well, thinking about Ma Wen at the beginning, you can understand it. Regarding the ability to poach other Chaos evil gods, Tsengqi is definitely the number one.

...

At dawn, the whole team woke up one by one. The reason they woke up was because Ashu Rufate cooked a large pot of broth - the aroma drove away the last bit of sleepiness for everyone.

No one cares about how the broth comes from. Since it is in the pot and since it is the chef Ash Rufate in the team who is cooking, that's enough.

While everyone was drinking soup and having breakfast, Ashu Rufate found an opportunity to meet Flint. He did not say more, but simply talked about the matter with the Lord of Deceit. Of course, the specific content cannot be said, but some vague statements are enough.

"No, Ashu Rufate, the Lord of the Crazy is absolutely not trustworthy." Flint immediately understood what Ashu Rufate meant - although he didn't know the specific content, although he was not successful, it was not far away.

This is not to say that Flint is particularly smart, but that such things are not uncommon. When a powerful mortal appears, the gods always give out olive branches. Recruiting the other party's powerful believers as their subordinates does not weaken the power of chaos overall, but on the other hand, it strengthens its own strength and weakens the strength of its competitors - this is obviously a very cost-effective deal. So the gods are happy to do this.

"I know, but..."

"You don't know how powerful the Lord of the Deceit." Flint talks about the matter. "When it comes to treacherous and cunning, the Lord of the Deceit is not called for nothing, he is definitely the number one. Moreover, it is said that the Lord of the Deceit has the ability to understand the future, and everything is in his plan. Perhaps the trivial matter today can affect the overall situation of the future. He has the ability to make everyone fall into his plan without knowing it. Sometimes, he even indulges mortals to make various demands to him, but those people do not know that these demands themselves were what he hoped to make. In his cunning hands, the fire of life will be clearly extinguished for his plan. No one can make anything from him. Those wizards whom he favors are actually just his pawns."

"I know..." Ashu Rufate wondered if he had fallen into Tsengchi's trap without knowing it, but in the end he was disregarded by Flint's warning. After all, in his opinion, those favored Slaanes were still pawns of God.

Maybe it was Tsengqi who was protecting him. After breakfast that day, their business came. A tribe who came from didn't know where they bought their last truck of goods and gave them the same truck of supplies they could use in the tribe. In this way, half of the purpose of the trip was achieved.

The other half of the goal is to inquire about the reality of the Speechless Panic Tribe. Unfortunately, the Speechless Panic Tribe is not a fool. They specially established this camp for trading to prevent external gazes. However, judging from the guardian power of this camp, the Speechless Panic Tribe should still be quite powerful, at least not like the weak person who will be defeated in the short term.

In any case, after completing this transaction, they no longer need to stay here. At Flint's order, the entire team set off.

More than a dozen people were scattered in four cars. Flint was sitting in the car in the middle, and the one who drove the car was Ashu Rufate. This combination seemed to be nothing doubtful, but gave Flint and Ashu Rufate the opportunity to live together.

"Sir, you plan..." Flint was thinking about what Asu Ruffat said in the morning, so he carefully tentatively. It is not common for a Chaos Lord to defect to another god, but it is not unprecedented. "Add to the... camp of the Lord of Deceit?"

"I'm not sure yet." Ashu Rufate replied. He also wanted to know what would happen.

"This..." Flint himself was a little hesitant. In his opinion, Ashu Rufate had a very good attitude towards him, and it was obvious that he planned to accept him as his relative. However, following the lord to change camps and join another evil god's subordinates is a matter worth considering. It should be noted that Flint was only concerned, not completely opposed. Although he was a God-Selected Warrior of Slaanes and regarded Prince Huanyu as the main god, if the change camp could have enough benefits, he would also be moved. "Sir, I remind you again that the invitation of the Lord of Deceit... may be a trick in itself."

It seems that Tsengchi is not very popular, and everyone is guarding against it.

"A trick...well, speaking of it, you seem to know something?"

"Sir, I know that some of the stories that have been circulated are all about the tricks of the Lord of Deceit."

"Speak and listen."

On this day's trip in the car, Flint told more than a dozen circulating stories, all about the clever tricks and traps of the Lord of the Deceit, which are difficult for mortals to see through. More than one mortal was deceived and eventually became Tsengchi's pawns unconsciously, and was abandoned after exhausting all his value. It is hard to say whether this is a legend of slandering against Tsengchi among the believers of Slaanes or a legend with real basis, but at least it can make Ashu Rufate alert.

In these stories, when Tsengqi seduces believers in other camps to join him, he is best at two moves. One move is to reward others with something that does not belong to him. For example, tell someone to get a certain artifact treasure. If you overcome all kinds of difficulties and get the things, Tsengqi will claim to "this is what I gave you" and let you work for him. If you fail in the middle and lose in front of the trap or treasure guardian, then he will also achieve the purpose of weakening other camps. Another move is

The trap of using words is interesting to say. Although Tsengqi is known as the "Lord of Clever", "Scam Staff", and "Tamperer of Fate", he is really good at playing with language rather than lying. Tsengqi's words are always true - at least literally true, but he will guide you to misunderstand. A typical story is Tsengqi's saying "I will never take revenge". Yes, the evil god will not personally reduce the divine punishment and turn you into a Chaos Egg or something, but he will let his believers kill you.

Maybe these stories worked, or some other reason. After listening to these stories, Ashu Rufate remained silent.

At dusk, the convoy stopped to camp. A raider was lucky enough to kill a wild sheep with his hunting bow while checking around the campsite. So the sheep was quickly dealt with and placed on the bonfire.

Such luck is relatively rare. A sheep of this size is enough for the entire team to have a full meal. Therefore, when it gets dark, everyone surrounds the bonfire, chatting and laughing while waiting for dinner to be ready.

A roar suddenly sounded in the air.

Someone shot an arrow at the bonfire at a distance. When the arrow was exhausted, it fell right by the bonfire. However, it did not hit anyone. In fact, even if it was shot, it would not have any effect, because it was an arrow that removed the arrow. This was not a raid, but someone wanted to say hello.

The people around the bonfire looked at each other. After a few seconds, Flint stood up and shouted in the direction where the arrow was shot. "Who? What do you want to do?"
