Chapter 428: The common characteristics between each other
waved to Oliveira not to pay too much attention. Imric still admired this soldier whose experience was quite inspiring. He was considered the best in Caledor except for the Dragon Prince class. One of the young people.
Taking a few steps forward, he looked at the deep pit that Oliveira had been looking at. A large group of jungle snakes lay on the body of the rat man who had been dead for a long time, tearing off the smelly carrion from the body with its sharp teeth.
Dark red blood that had lost its temperature seeped into the ground. Snakes of various colors, which were supposed to be snakes, kept walking through the pile of corpses and were dyed blood red.
There were at least a hundred rat-man corpses in the pit, and each corpse was wrapped with more than a dozen snakes, like red tentacles that were constantly twitching, making it look particularly cruel and bloody.
"Tell me what you found." Imrik did not show any abnormalities. The cruelty of the Sotek sect's sacrifices may only be comparable to that of Norska, but as long as you are dealing with destructive forces, the more cruel you are, the better.
Seeing that the prince was not angry, Oliveira turned around and continued to squat, telling what he had seen and heard in the past few years,
"I think Sotigo and the Rat Man seem to be in a very contradictory state. They are not the same person." This kind of war confrontation is an idea of both sides." "
For example, these snakes in the pit eat the carrion of rats. According to the study of Lustria species by the military mage, under normal circumstances almost all snakes are not They will be interested in carrion, but under the influence of Sotek, these snakes have even changed their nature." "
This seems to be a normal thing. Even those red-crowned skinks may eat some. Carrion to show his loyalty to Sotigo." Imric crossed his arms and continued to watch the movement in the pit, waiting for Oliveira to explain clearly, otherwise he would return to the mine to serve him.
Oliveira paused for a while, as if thinking about the words to use. After thinking clearly, he explained, "But if you put the matter of eating carrion on the Rat Man, it will become a very normal thing. It seems that the way for the Sotek Cult to grow is to use the methods of the rat people to continuously strengthen itself." "
Whether it is the rat carrion in these deep pits, or the snake god prophet using endless blood sacrifices in the pyramid, this is different from the lizard people. Other sacrificial methods are completely different."
"Speak to your conclusion."
"I speculate that the Sotek sect revived Sotek by absorbing the characteristics of the rat people. A kind of hatred for the rat people filled the teachings. Bloody, but the result is that they themselves also have the characteristics of rat people." Oliveira thought for a moment and said a question that he had thought about for a long time, "
And according to the prophecy of the snake god prophet, Sotigo will swallow the big horn. Rat, it is said that Illinir will destroy most of the offspring he gave birth to in order to restore his authority. Can we speculate that if Sotek swallows the horned rat, he will gain the power of the horned rat, or these It is the power of a rat. The premise for this is that Sotek itself has the possibility of swallowing the horned rat."
After finishing speaking, Oliveira seemed to feel that this speculation was a bit unrealistic. After all, Speculations about gods are the most ridiculous. If they don't even know what they are, how can mortals speculate on their essence?
"Of course this is just my personal unrealistic guess. The Sotek Sect's hatred of the Rat People is obvious to all. If Sotek really has some mysterious connection with the Horned Rat, it seems that this attitude shouldn't be there." "What you said
. It's very interesting. Write a detailed report and submit it to me before tonight." Imrik was somewhat interested in this, although Oliveira's example was a bit unrealistic, using the underground of the Elf God System. Illinir, the father of gods, but this idea is very interesting.
A kind of presupposition appears in this line of thinking. The Sotek sect has developed to this day because it can use rat men to perform blood sacrifices, so that Sotek can continue to send blessings; and Sotek can also use powerful enemies to To wake up with the blood of two completely opposite things, it is impossible to coexist. Only the existence of a common trait can allow it to continue to develop. The Sotek sect gained power by sacrificing the Rat Man, but what did the Rat Man gain from this?
Imric thought that after the End of Time, the Horned Rat had successfully replaced Slaanesh as one of the Four Gods. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly and looked at the squirming snakes in the pit. He no longer seemed so disgusted.
Oliveira nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. He stood up and bowed his head and asked the prince, "Any other orders." "
Hurry up and write this report out. I don't like adjectives, and I don't care whether the words express respect."
Finally, O After Rivera nodded to the two people behind him, he took a tall sword and decided to return to his residence. Since the prince said so, there must be no way to deal with the next military affairs.
After listening to the conversation between the two, Creon took two steps forward, opened up a position with Imrik, and looked at the carrion ritual that was still going on in the pit.
Regarding this barbaric and bloody ritual, although the battle-experienced Flame Knight would not have any physical disgust, disgust still appeared on his face, and he asked the prince who was still watching, "Do you think what Oliveira said is true
? Does that make sense? It sounds like a third-rate tavern poet singing about what war hydras have never seen before." "There are
some questions, but it is still a possibility, and we need to find any clues, even if Even the nonsense of a tavern poet needs a moment of analysis." Imric responded to Creon. Although his bodyguards had changed several times in just a few years, he was fortunate enough to be capable and loyal enough. Don’t pay too much attention to what you say.
Creon continued to frown. Oliveira's words were actually not difficult to understand. The traditional dualistic thinking of elves is deeply rooted, especially the relationship between the gods in the sky and the gods in the underground. The two sides are not absolutely opposite. The two are in between. There is a common characteristic that can be converted into each other at some point.
This is why Asur, even though he hates Druzi, still thinks that they are just like him, one of the few elves in this world, and every life is very precious.
But when it comes to Sotek and the Horned Rat, it seems that there is no clue at all about the integration of binary opposites. There is only absolute hatred and contempt, just like Caledo towards Drucci.
"I still can't understand the meaning of these words, but since you think what Oliveira said makes sense, I will ask someone to urge him to complete the report." Elvis, who had been listening, wanted to interrupt,
Flame Knight The so-called supervision is definitely not to supervise the writing, but to let Oliveira consider every word and sentence. If there is any unclear explanation, I am afraid it will be a kind education.
However, seeing the two elders remaining silent, the young man could only cover his mouth and suppress his inner thoughts.
