Chapter 427 Scarlet Fantasy
The corner of Xie Nian's mouth showed a bloodthirsty smile, his eyes were still fixed on the withered land in the distance, but his eyes had completely lost focus, because at this moment, his brain was constantly imagining, constantly imagining who would be the blood relative who would definitely fight with him in the future?
He hoped it would be Shaflock. Although that blood relative had suffered a tragic defeat a hundred years ago and became the shame of the Father God, so that the Father God punished him and let him usher in the shameful resurrection, but even so, Shaflock's status and strength in the entire Murder Cult could not be ignored.
As a predecessor who could bring the shadow of fear to the entire Sword Bay a hundred years ago, Shaflock's name had an unparalleled weight in the entire Sword Bay. Even after a hundred years, this name was still spread by word of mouth throughout the Sword Bay.
And everyone who heard this name would sincerely feel an unparalleled panic, so that people kept silent about it, and in the eyes of the Murder Cult, this sincere fear was a symbol of status!
Unlike Olin, who could definitely defeat him easily, Shaflock's strength was completely on another level! Even the current evil thought was not sure that he would win against him, but... only fighting with such a powerful existence! It was interesting!
Celeritas was right in one point. The evil thought never thought that Olin would be a threat to him, and never took Olin seriously. His strength was much stronger than Olin. Even if he fought with him, it was just torture, but this boring slaughter could no longer stimulate his cruel and cold heart. In that murder feast under the watchful eyes of the Father God, only Shaflock was the most qualified sacrifice!
The evil thought's brain was madly imagining that moment. He imagined that his dagger would stab into Shaflock's brain, his sharp claws would tear open his chest, and finally, he would tear off his heart!
Under the watchful eyes of Baal, he would drink the blood of the previous generation of the son of murder! Just thinking of that picture, the evil thought's body began to tremble involuntarily! What an interesting scene that would be!
However, unlike Xie Nian's imagination, his butler Celeritas has a completely different view on this. He does not think that Xie Nian can beat Shaflock in terms of hard power.
It is undeniable that as a true pure-blood son of Baal, Xie Nian's power is indeed much stronger than that of Olin's blood relative, but Shaflock is different.
As an old legend who has died once and was resurrected by Baal from the Kingdom of God, Shaflock's current real strength is even several times stronger than when he was alive a hundred years ago.
Because Shaflock's current body was shaped by Baal himself, from this point of view, Shaflock's physical fitness is not inferior to that of the pure-blooded Xie Nian, but he was famous in Sword Bay a hundred years ago, and after his death, he fought in the bloody plains of Baal for a hundred years. His fighting skills are far more than that of Xie Nian.
Such a powerful opponent is not something that Xie Nian can defeat now. Celeritas is very sure of this. His master still needs to grow, train, and be tempered with more blood. Most importantly, he needs time.
If his master's opponent in the coming-of-age ceremony was still that rubbish Orin, Celeritas would not have any worries at all, but once the opponent changed to that Shaflock, Celeritas would have to worry about the safety of Xie Nian.
Well, worry, this word seems a bit funny when used on monsters like them, but as Xie Nian's butler, Celeritas is indeed loyal to Xie Nian. Although this feeling seems very twisted, no one can deny that it exists.
At the same time, unlike Xie Nian's guess about his future opponent, as a butler sent directly by Baal, Celeritas knows that if nothing unexpected happens, Xie Nian's opponent in the coming-of-age ceremony will probably be Shaflock!
It is very difficult to create a new son of Baal, even if it is a mixed-blood. In the turbulent years, Baal walked in the world with his true body, which left countless mixed-blood murder sons, but now there is no such convenience in this era.
Only Celeritas knew how much effort Baal had put into creating the pure blood of Evil Thought, and the existence of Evil Thought was related to Baal's future layout in the entire Faerun.
Baal had a lot of expectations for Evil Thought, but in addition to expecting Evil Thought to offer him more slaughter, He created Evil Thought for a more pure purpose, which was to allow more Sons of Slaughter to appear again in the land of Faerun!
The reason for such great effort was that if the God of Faith wanted to increase his power, he needed to spread his influence in the mortal world, and for Baal, the existence of the Sons of Slaughter was the best way to promote himself.
Originally, Baal left many Sons of Slaughter in Faerun during the turbulent years just to facilitate his resurrection in the future, but after he successfully resurrected, Baal unexpectedly discovered that these Sons of Slaughter actually had such a role. The Sons of Slaughter brought unparalleled disasters to this land in the name of Baal, and also increased His influence and reputation in disguise.
Now in the entire Sword Coast, people may not know Mask, the God of Thieves, Miril, the God of Music, or even Selune, the Goddess of the Moon, but everyone knows the name of Baal! This is the impact that the Son of Slaughter has brought to Baal after wreaking havoc in the North for a hundred years!
Baal needs Evil Thought to spread his branches and leaves in the land of Faerun! Even Evil Thought himself is unaware of this plan, but Celeritas knows about it.
He knows that once Evil Thought loses in the coming-of-age ceremony in the future, he will be completely eroded by the blood of Baal in his body. At that time, a huge desire for reproduction will completely overwhelm Evil Thought's reason! The pure blood of Baal in his body will completely spread, and the son of murder will once again step onto the stage of the world of Faerun! But in that future, there will be nothing for Evil Thought.
Celeritas wanted to avoid that ending, but looking at Evil Thought who was completely immersed in fantasy, he knew that he must not speak out that weak idea.
Those weak words would only completely infuriate Evil Thought. Celeritas knew what to say and what not to say, but he couldn't do nothing.
Otherwise, when Evil Thought is defeated in the future against Shavrock, all the plans made by its owner now will vanish, and the honor that should belong to him will completely disappear! And I will be like poor Kruno...
