Chapter 522 Different Races Have Different Positions.
Rather than Dettlaff's verbal attack, Harland responded with an uppercut, sending the Lahmian vampire that was interfering with his comrades' meeting flying into the corner.
He took two steps forward, and together with Dettlaff, he persuaded Oliveira, "As you can see, the Blood Snake Brotherhood actually became vampires because of their worship of blood and Sotek. During the Snake-Rat Jihad, , if we could be stronger and not rely too much on gunpowder and elves, the sacrifices of many brothers could be avoided."
Oliveira suddenly showed a strange look in his eyes. The young man next to him was the Grand Master of the Knights appointed by the Snake God Prophet. As a result, a group of vampire believers appeared now. Maybe the dwarves would join Sotek's faith in the future. strangeness.
"Before I answer, let me tell you how you were transformed?"
Dettlaff, who was standing in front of him, looked hesitant, obviously not wanting to answer the question, but since he was this respected elf warrior, he still loosened his clenched hands.
"Six years ago, I was sent to the rear for treatment. In fact, the treatment by the Priest of Avalon was very successful and I was able to return to the battlefield. But since I learned that Lustria had been sealed, I had no intention of going to Naggaroth, so I Request for discharge from Chief Judith.”
"Chief Judith gave me an extra sum of money and asked me to return to China to recuperate my health. Then I returned to Kislev City and witnessed the behavior of the bloody tsarina. At first, I chose to resist and integrated some combat-effective people. Soldiers secretly hunt vampires.”
"During an operation to hunt Boyer, we were ambushed. Because the Tsarina needed a guard captain, I was forcibly transformed into a vampire."
Dettlaff took a deep breath. Obviously, this incident was still a big blow to him now. "At first, the Bloody Tsarina wanted to appoint me as the captain of the Guards, but I refused. After getting used to it in the beginning, After taking the vampire body, I left the city of Kislev and wandered in the wasteland. Since the mercenaries retired one after another two years ago, due to the oppression of the political situation, the Blood Serpent Brotherhood gathered together again, in Lustria. There were three hundred and seventeen people, and now there are only one hundred and twenty-six.”
Oliveira vaguely understood that after the Blood Snake Brotherhood gave up their belief in the Four Righteous Gods, Sotigo did not respond to them. However, the belief that blood is power, coupled with the fact that they had seen too many deaths, made them feel deeply. Due to the weakness of human beings, under the leadership of Dettlaff, he took the initiative to become a vampire.
Although such examples are uncommon, they are not unheard of. Chaos believers are the best example.
"Then why are you participating in this civil war? It seems that Prokin and you are not on the same page."
"Indeed not, but in a sense, we are already the same kind of people. The conflict between humans and vampires cannot be adjusted. He promised to put humans and vampires in a more harmonious state, at least not like the previous ones. In the city of Kislev in 2006, all the stumps were scattered around the temple of Esun." Dilav was obviously willing to explain to Oliveira and expressed his thoughts.
"Raskol... I also respect him very much, but after becoming a vampire, we have had a huge difference. He is a Patriot who believes in the Four Gods, and we are just a group of people who cannot get a response from Sotigo. They are just dirty vampires. This is a matter of stance.
Based on his and Mazov's nature, as long as the civil war is won, they will definitely spare no effort to strangle the vampires in Kislev. The Blood Serpent Brotherhood... made a mistake, or maybe he came back too late. But no matter what, we don’t want to be killed or driven out of our homes. "
There was a trace of sadness in Harland's scarlet eyes. It was precisely because he saw his own powerlessness that he would find a way to solve all this, even if it required paying an extremely painful price.
After explaining for a long time, he opened his tightly closed lips,
"Your Excellency Oliveira, the Blood Serpent Brotherhood guarantees that you will not be harmed by everything in the past. Caledor should not intervene in this war that belongs to Kislev."
Oliveira was silent for a long time, "I personally want to believe you. After all, the Blood Snake Brotherhood has taken the initiative to take on the most difficult tasks for a long time. But my duty cannot do this. This is what the prince gave me. Duty, this is my destiny.”
He raised the big sword in front of his chest, and pointed the blade at the two people who had not yet shown any signs of hostility. His expression showed a rare solemnity, and he roared in a low voice, "Draw your sword, let me see you after you become vampires. What exactly did you gain!”
"This... is really an unfortunate thing." Dettlaff shook his head and sighed, pulling out the long sword from his waist, and Harland next to him did the same.
Although I thought Oliveira would not surrender beforehand, when it actually happened, I still felt regretful.
When the tension was tense, Elvis, who had been ignored for a long time, suddenly intervened.
"etc."
The three people who were in a confrontation turned their heads to see what the young man had to say.
After hearing these words, Elvis felt that everything has happened to him in the past few years. Even if the elves believe in Sotek, even the barbarians who turned into vampires believe in it, next time even if there are a few dwarf butchers with split tattoos, It may not be a surprise to see a giant snake.
He looked at Dettlaff, covering Orthea behind him, and asked, "You said you believe in Sotek, don't you know that the Giant Horned Viper is a knighthood fighting in the name of Sotek?"
This sentence made Dettlaff look at him coldly.
"It is impossible for Sotek to respond to races other than lizardmen. I do not deny that the Dragon Prince has special methods to get the snake god prophet to provide support, but even if the Blood Serpent Brotherhood performs blood sacrifices, there is nothing except a piece of carrion. It makes no sense at all.”
Elvis pinched the albino snake skull hanging around his neck. This thing not only gave him snake-like sensory capabilities, but also provided a convenient channel for praying in a relatively fast way.
After praying this long list of things to Sotek in his heart, he said slowly, "Maybe you haven't waited until the time, and now you can understand what it takes to let Sotek watch."
Dettlaff fell into doubts. Seeing the great master's confident expression, his doubts turned into laughter.
"Then let me see how an elf gets Sotek's response."
…………
At the same time, Imrik, who was staying in the dragon's palace, picked up the wine glass a little slowly, and there was surprise on his face.
This aroused the curiosity of Draconir, who was lying on top of him. Without noticing, he pinched his father's pointed ears, with the joy of victory on his face.
Imrik, who had his pointed ears pinched, didn't pay attention to the brat's actions. This news was really shocking. The world of vampires who believe in Sotek is becoming increasingly difficult to figure out.
It's just like a Druzi who came to Ulthuan and yelled at the halberd formation lined with thousands of Phoenix guards, "I am Asuryan's choice. You have been waiting for six thousand years for the orthodox Phoenix King." It felt like it was scripted.
In order to verify whether these vampires had any effect, he began to silently chant the name of the giant snake. He was the serious target of Sotek's faith, and the end of his prayers was not himself.
"What's wrong, I'm in a different position."
"Did a group of humans pray to you before?"
"I will not accept irregular blood sacrifices, let alone a group of humans."
Imric secretly thought that something was wrong. If this were true, the reputation of the Sotek sect would be ruined immediately. No, the Sotek Sect refers to the force led by the lizardman Tehenhuoyin, and the Blood Serpent Brotherhood does not seem to be under his control.
"So there is."
"Before I woke up, I prayed more often, and then gradually decreased. Human faith is of very little use to me. In fact, the same is true for elves' faith. Just like who cares about the difference between a grain of bacteria."
"Why do I think you talk more than before?"
"Maybe it's because you have a lot of jokes in your head, which affects me."
In order to prevent being angered by the giant snake, Imric took the initiative to cut off contact and began to think about this matter.
A vampire who believes in Sotek seems a bit interesting... (End of this chapter)
