Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 427 Scarlet Fantasy
A bloodthirsty smile appeared at the corner of Xie Nian's mouth, his eyes were still fixed on the barren land in the distance, but his eyes had completely lost focus, because at this moment, his brain was constantly imagining, constantly imagining who the blood relative who would definitely fight with him in the future would be?

He hoped it would be Shaflock. Although that blood relative had suffered a tragic defeat a hundred years ago and became a disgrace to God the Father, so much so that God the Father punished him by allowing him to be reborn in disgrace, even so, Shaflock's status and strength in the entire murder sect could not be ignored.

As a predecessor who brought fear to the entire Sword Coast a hundred years ago, Shaflock's name has an unparalleled weight in the entire Sword Coast. Even after a hundred years, this name is still passed by word of mouth throughout the Sword Coast.

Everyone who hears this name will feel an incomparable panic in their hearts, so much so that people keep silent about it. However, within the murder cult, this sincere fear is a symbol of status!
Unlike Olin who could easily defeat him, Shaflock was a completely different level of strength! Even now, Xie Nian was not sure that he could win against him, but... only fighting with such a powerful being! It was interesting!
Celeritas was right about one thing. Xie Nian never thought that Olin would be a threat to him, and he never took Olin seriously. He was much stronger than Olin, and even fighting with him would be nothing more than torture. But this boring massacre could no longer stimulate his cruel and cold heart. In that murder feast under the watchful eyes of God the Father, only Shavlock was the most qualified sacrifice!

The evil mind was wildly imagining that moment. He hallucinated that his dagger would pierce into Shaflock's brain, his sharp claws would tear open his chest, and finally, he would tear out his heart!

Under Baal's gaze, he will drink the blood of the previous generation's murdered son! Just thinking of that scene, Xie Nian's body began to tremble involuntarily! What an interesting scene that would be!

However, unlike Xie Nian's fantasy, his butler Celeritas has a completely different opinion on this. He does not think that Xie Nian can defeat Shaflock in terms of hard power.

It is undeniable that as a true pure-blooded son of Baal, the power of his evil thoughts is indeed much stronger than that of Olin's blood relative from another generation, but Shaflock is different.

As an old legend who had died once and was resurrected by Baal from the Kingdom of God, Shavlock's true strength now is even several times stronger than when he was alive a hundred years ago.

Because Shavlock's current body was shaped for him by Baal himself, from this point of view, Shavlock's physical fitness is not inferior to that of the pure-blooded Xie Yi. However, he was famous in Sword Bay a hundred years ago, and after his death, he fought on the bloody plains of Baal for a hundred years. His fighting skills are far superior to Xie Yi's.

Such a powerful opponent is not something that the evil thoughts at present can defeat. Celeritas is very sure of this. His master still needs to grow, needs training, needs more blood, and most importantly, he needs time.

If his master's opponent in the future coming-of-age ceremony was still that rubbish Olin, Celeritas would not feel worried at all, but once the opponent changed to that Shavlock, Celeritas would have to worry about Xie Nian's safety.

Well, worry. This word seems a little funny when applied to monsters like them, but as the steward of evil thoughts, Celeritas is indeed loyal to evil thoughts. 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 knew that if nothing unexpected happened, Xie Nian's opponent in the coming-of-age ceremony would probably be Shavlock!
Creating a new son of Baal is very difficult, even for a half-blood. During the years of turmoil, Baal walked the world in his true form, leaving behind countless half-blood murder sons, but that is no longer possible in this era. Only Celeritas knows how much effort Baal has put into creating the pure-blood Evil Thought, and the existence of Evil Thought is related to Baal's future layout in the entire Faerun.

Baal has high expectations for Evil Thoughts, but in addition to expecting Evil Thoughts to bring more slaughter to him, He has a more pure purpose in creating Evil Thoughts, which is to allow more Sons of Slaughter to appear again on the land of Faerun!

The reason for going to such great lengths is that if the God of faith wants to increase his own power, he needs to constantly spread his influence among the mortals. And for Baal, the existence of the Son of Slaughter is the best way to promote himself.

Originally, Baal left many Sons of Slaughter in Faerun during the turbulent years just to facilitate his future resurrection. But after his successful resurrection, Baal unexpectedly discovered that these Sons of Slaughter actually had such a function. The Sons of Slaughter brought unparalleled disasters to this land in the name of Baal, and in turn increased His influence and reputation.

Now in the entire Sword Coast, people may not know Mask, the God of Thieves, Miril, the Goddess 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 to spread his influence in the land of Faerun! Even Evil himself is unaware of this plan, but Celeritas knows it.

He knew that once Xie Nian failed in the coming-of-age ceremony in the future, he would be completely eroded by the blood of Baal in his body. At that time, a huge desire to reproduce would completely overwhelm Xie Nian's reason! The pure blood of Baal in his body would completely flourish, and the son of murder would once again step onto the stage of the world of Faerun! But in that future, there would be no place for Xie Nian.

Celeritas wanted to avoid that outcome, but seeing that he had completely fallen into evil thoughts, he knew that he must not speak out that weak thought.

Those weak words would only completely inflame the evil thoughts. Celeritas knew very well what to say and what not to say, but he couldn't do nothing.

Otherwise, when the evil thoughts in the future face Shaflock and are defeated, all the plans made by its owner now will vanish into thin air, and the honor that should belong to him will disappear completely! And he will be like poor Kruno...
