◎[The Blood Wolf Clan Chief's Curse] Real Effect◎
Warren picked up the slate expressionlessly and slapped the Heart of Oath back.
This magic stone giant wanted to rebel before. He must be crazy to rashly accept such an unknown oath when he has no defense at all - what if there is a curse hidden in it?
"That's not necessary," he said calmly, "Follow the rules, study hard, and work hard. As long as you can do these three things, I will treat all demons equally."
The Stone Demon Chief took back his oath and failed to sign the contract that symbolized the supreme loyalty of the demon clan. Instead, his expression became more sincere, tears flickered in his eyes. He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and only choked and muttered:
"I originally thought that our ancestors were exaggerating, but now I know that the Demon God is more than just a symbol of the Demon Realm's return to glory... It turns out that the Demon God is the glory of the Demon Realm itself."
Warren tried hard to prick up his ears, but still couldn't hear clearly what the Stone Demon Chief was mumbling. He saw from the corner of his eye that several demon soldiers around him had approval on their faces, and guessed that he probably didn't say anything important, so he put on a mysterious look and quietly waited for the Stone Demon Chief's reply.
The stone demon chief took a deep breath and kowtowed again. This time he used a lot of strength and his stone head dug a small hole in the ground of the Demon King's Palace.
"My king, please save the Blood Wolf Tribe!"
"Blood Wolf Tribe?" Warren raised his eyebrows in surprise.
...
...
Originally, it was believed that the blood curse could not be removed at all. No matter which demon king it was, he would definitely not let the blood wolf clan go. Both the stone demon clan leader and the blood wolf clan leader believed that the blood wolf clan would definitely die.
However, now, the chief of the Stone Demon Clan feels that the king in front of him may really have the ability and willingness to break the blood curse and give the Blood Wolf Clan a way to survive.
"When the former leader of the Blood Wolf Clan died, he used his last life force to cast a curse magic," he said, with his head lowered. "Any Blood Wolf Clan member who sees you, the Great King, will go crazy and fight to the death."
Warren: “Huh?”
He never expected to hear the true effect of the [Curse of the Blood Wolf Chieftain] here, and he was stunned.
Ever since he drew the identity card, he has been trying to figure out the effect of this curse debuff. However, apart from the fact that he always had no magic power, he never felt any discomfort. Therefore, for a while, he even suspected that his inability to practice magic might be the result of the Blood Wolf Chieftain's curse, or that the curse had already come true on the real sneak attack demon king.
Compared with his guess, this truth is not only irrelevant, but also reveals a sense of absurdity and ridiculousness: "Is he cursing me or the Blood Wolf Clan?"
Not all of the blood wolves in the Blood Wolf Clan are powerful, there are still many cubs and old wolves. Moreover, the strongest point of the Blood Wolf Clan lies in their teamwork and superb tactics. If they rush up and bite like this in a rage, even without considering their half strength, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses.
The Stone Demon Chief raised his head and knelt with his hands on the ground. He looked a little embarrassed, but answered honestly: "The former Chief of the Blood Wolf Tribe... did not have a good reputation among the Blood Wolf Tribe. Many Blood Wolfs opposed him. He probably thought that you had private communication with the Blood Wolf Tribe, so you happened to appear in the middle of the battlefield without any hindrance."
In the eyes of the Stone Demon Chief, although the former Chief of the Blood Wolf Clan was a bastard, it was understandable that he thought so in this matter.
After all, he also didn't understand at that time why a demon he had never seen before suddenly appeared in the center of the battle, and the demon directly hit the weak point of the former leader of the Blood Wolf Clan as soon as he attacked, with such fierce and decisiveness as if he had been watching the battle for a long time.
If the Blood Wolf Clan, which had lost its leader, had not evacuated in a panic along with the other three tribes, and had not shown any attitude of being familiar with the new Demon King in the following three years, the Stone Demon Clan leader would have thought that the new Demon King had already had connections with the Blood Wolf Clan.
Warren raised his eyebrows slightly.
Although they had only been chatting for a short time, he had already seen that the stone demon was an indecisive and docile person. Although he admired his willingness to hide the cubs for the Blood Wolf Clan and pray for a glimmer of hope, given the stone demon's cautious attitude and his ability to answer only one question at a time, it would probably take until the evening to hear the whole story.
Therefore, he changed his tone to an order and put pressure on the stone demon: "Stand up and tell us everything about the Blood Wolf Clan from beginning to end."
The stone demon chief obediently climbed up and stood in the same place, still in a cautious and cowering posture, which formed a very sharp contrast with his stone body, which still looked mighty and strong even after being shrunk by magic.
"Actually, Xuemu was a very good tribe leader in the past," he obviously had no talent for storytelling. He hesitated for a long time and narrated awkwardly, "Xuemu was the name of the former tribe leader of the Blood Wolf Clan. When he was a cub, he was very lively. Once when he was catching a fire rabbit, he accidentally bumped into a piece of rotten wood and his forehead bled, so the elders of the Blood Wolf Clan gave him this name..."
Warren took a deep breath and was forced to listen to the childhood story of the former Blood Wolf Clan leader. He felt that his patience was almost exhausted. He couldn't help but knock on the table and reminded, "Speak to the point."
The Stone Demon Chief finally realized that he had said a lot of nonsense in front of the Demon King, and he almost knelt down again in excitement. He hesitated for a long time between apologizing and talking about business, and finally realized that he had not spoken yet. His strong desire to survive made him quickly grasp the key point.
"The story begins with the Demonic Feast four years ago."
"The Blood Wolf Clan is different from other races. Their clan leader is also their hunting captain, and all Blood Wolves must obey him. In order to ensure the absolute authority of the leader, each clan leader will select the strongest one among the cubs, bring him by his side, and focus on training him as the young clan leader."
At this point, he shook his head in disapproval, obviously thinking that this approach was unreasonable - raising the demon cubs together can both enhance their bonds and ensure their survival rate, so why do they have to be raised separately?
"So the Blood Wolf Clan leader Xuemu's biological cub has been brought up by him and trained as a young leader."
However, during the demon feast, the young leader of the Blood Wolf Clan was killed lightly by the former demon king. He even hung the head of the little wolf in the corridor of the demon palace and showed it off as his trophy.
"Bloodwood went crazy when he found out about this," the Stone Demon Chief sighed as he thought about the situation at that time. He really didn't know what other words to use to describe this Blood Wolf who once cared about his tribe, except crazy. "He wanted revenge, but he didn't have enough strength, so he activated the blood sacrifice magic recorded in the magic scroll that the Blood Wolf tribe found many years ago."
Even in the Demon Realm filled with dark magic, blood sacrifice magic is still a taboo, but this taboo basically does not need to be resisted because the conditions for using this magic are extremely strict.
"The magic requires finding at least a hundred demons that are connected to the user by blood, and these demons are required to understand all the causes and consequences and to voluntarily sacrifice their entire lives and souls."
Warren looked stunned.
"I don't know exactly what happened," the Stone Demon Clan leader said in a low voice, "Anyway, when the greatly strengthened Bloodwood came to me and asked the Stone Demon Clan to join the rebellion, there were only about a thousand Blood Wolves left out of the nearly ten thousand Blood Wolf Clan."
The Blood Wolf Chieftain, who had already lost his mind, would never think of doing a blood sacrifice of half and leaving the other half, so it was obvious that the remaining blood wolves were unwilling to sacrifice their lives and souls to accomplish Blood Wood's revenge.
Although Xue Mu was cruel and crazy, he did not kill these blood wolves. After all, his strength was enough to force the blood wolves to fight for him. But perhaps he was dissatisfied with these disloyal blood wolves. During the rebellion, he asked these blood wolves to be at the forefront of the charge countless times.
On the battlefield of the rebellion, the Lich Clan and the Blood Wolf Clan suffered the most casualties among the four major clans. By the end of the war, only about 200 blood wolves were left of the once huge clan.
"The Skeleton Warriors joined the rebellion because they also saw that the Blood Wolf Chieftain, who forcibly increased his strength through blood sacrifice, had an unstable foundation and was likely to backfire on himself. They wanted to take advantage of the conflict between the clams and the fishermen."
Speaking of this, the Stone Demon Chieftain felt a little embarrassed.
"We, the Stone Demon Tribe, joined in because we offended the previous Demon King when we organized a large-scale hunt and were threatened by the Bloodwood. But in fact, neither of our tribes contributed much, and there were actually few casualties. It was all thanks to the Lich Tribe and the Blood Wolf Tribe that led the charge."
"The current leader of the Blood Wolf Tribe, Huiwei, said that when the former leader Xuemu died, he felt the strong power of the curse, so he immediately took the Blood Wolf Tribe and fled."
"After returning to the tribe, he flipped through many magic scrolls and sought help from the lich leader Feko, only then did he find out that the curse was cast by the bloodwood."
Obviously, Xue Mu himself knew that he was sorry for the Blood Wolf Clan, and he also understood that his actions would arouse the anger of the Blood Wolves. That is why when he was on the verge of death after being attacked, he was certain that the demon who killed him was connected with the Blood Wolf Clan, and he took a desperate measure and took the blood curse to retaliate against them.
After telling this story, the Stone Demon Chieftain looked at the Demon King pleadingly, hoping that he would let go of these relatively innocent Blood Wolves, or at least give those cubs a chance to live.
Warren pressed his temples and felt a long-lost headache.
"You go out first," he said, leaving no room for doubt. "Sul will arrange your food, clothing, shelter and transportation. I need to think about the Blood Wolf Clan's matter again."
The Stone Demon Chieftain did not dare to refute, so he agreed and hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should kowtow before leaving. He looked at the demon soldier for help, and when he saw the demon soldier waving at him to leave, he turned around and walked out of the Demon Palace obediently.
The door to the Demon King's Palace closed gently.
The demon soldier Alex, who had just made a gesture to the giant stone demon leader, retracted his gaze and looked at the king who was silent on the throne. After holding it in for so long, he finally couldn't help but speak: "My king, the former leader of the blood wolf tribe is a piece of shit! Although the former demon king was very bad, he can't sacrifice all the people in the tribe!"
Warren threw up his hands helplessly.
In fact, if this matter ends at the moment when Xue Mu killed the previous demon king, although we can curse Xue Mu for his unscrupulous means, we have to admit that he can be regarded as a hero. After all, he did not deceive the members of the Blood Wolf Clan, but just told them the truth and accepted the voluntary life sacrifice of the Blood Wolves to avenge the innocent cubs of the Blood Wolf Clan who were killed.
But when Xuemu was facing death, he finally admitted that his motives for accepting the blood sacrifice were not pure.
Otherwise, why would he, who had already killed the previous Demon King, subconsciously believe that this attack was a deliberate revenge by the Blood Wolves, and retaliate without hesitation, without even considering whether other cubs of the Blood Wolf Clan would die as a result?
From Warren's perspective, although he felt deeply about this tragedy, he did not mind accepting the remaining blood wolves. After all, the Demon Realm would most likely face a huge crisis in the future, and the Demon King's Palace needed more labor.
But the problem is... he has no idea how to break the curse!
"Your Majesty!" Alec raised his hand actively, "I have a good idea!"
Warren looked at him.
"We can write this into a story and have the art troupe perform it!" Alex gestured, "Tono will definitely be willing to play Bloodwood. He always plays villains and makes them very hateful!"
Warren twitched his lips.
Just as he was about to refuse, he suddenly thought of the demon who might be able to help.
"That's right, Tono... Alec, go call Tok!"
The author has something to say:

Tono: So I was the one who was thought of, but it was my brother who was called for help (pretending to wipe tears.JPG)
-
I was writing today when I suddenly realized that I got the time wrong! Warren should have lived in the Demon Realm for more than two years, almost three years, and the rebellion war lasted about half a year, so the Demon Feast should be held every four years QAQ Sorry, my brain short-circuited (kneeling gently.JPG) The chapters that were written wrong before will be corrected immediately!
