Chapter 107: Love of Lovita
Bella Trix regrets it now.
She knew that the gods' predictions were often accurate, except when they deliberately lied to trick mortals.
But she never expected that this prophecy would come true so quickly. She was still thinking about waiting and seeing if she could get some advantage without selling herself.
As a result, the one favored by God came directly to attack her, and the other party did not take action personally, but the various undead creatures under his command crushed her.
The moment she saw Ambershoe appear, Bella Trix thought it was a punishment from the gods, punishing her for her contempt for the oracle and her opportunistic mentality.
Therefore, Bella Trix decided to seize this last chance and follow the god's favored one wholeheartedly according to the gods' instructions.
Amber Xiu frowned tightly, something was wrong.
"I remember that the teachings of the Goddess of Pain do not forbid lying."
After saying this, Bella Trix became a little panicked.
Before, I was only thinking about how to take shortcuts, but I never thought about this problem.
If I surrender, will the other party accept it? The person in front of me is a lich, who is the natural opposite of the living. How can such a racial gap be resolved by surrendering? Bella Trix knew that she had to let Amber see her sincerity, otherwise she would probably die here. If she died without obeying the Queen of Pain's instructions, she would probably fall directly into hell and suffer eternal torture after death.
Amber did suspect Bella Trix was lying.
He suddenly knelt down in surrender with an appearance of absolute obedience. If it were a holy knight of the Ryan Empire, he might have barely believed it, but the followers of Lovita did not have a good reputation for honesty and trustworthiness.
Just when Amber was wondering whether it would be safer to just kill him, Bella Trix said quickly, "This is the oracle of the Goddess of Pain. You are a great man who will surely bring endless pain to the world. As a believer of the goddess, I will dedicate everything to the noble one favored by the goddess."
Amber Xiu quickly retorted: "Don't spread rumors! I'm a scholar, at most a businessman, not like you perverts."
Although liches are also considered evil, they are different from the perverted followers of pain. Liches are rational, can communicate, and can do business.
The followers of Lovita are tyrannical and cruel, and their degree of perversion is unbearable for most races.
Why did Loviatar say that he brought pain to the world? He was a lich and usually even pinched souls with his hands. This was already a great good man among the undead. Could the gods say anything about him?
The identity of this person favored by God, Lovita, is absolutely unacceptable.
But Amber Xiu's intuition told her that what the woman said was very likely true. Could it be that the goddess of pain really gave her an oracle? This made Amber Xiu feel a little uncomfortable. Being targeted by this goddess didn't seem like a good thing.
"You just said that you are willing to give everything to me? Do you have the final say on the things of the Trix family?" Amber asked.
When Bella Trix heard what Amber said, she knew there was a chance of a turn for the better, and she quickly said, "I am the daughter of Duke Trix, the only child, and the sole heir to this territory."
"Only daughter?"
Few nobles would only have one child. If something unexpected happened, the family inheritance would be in trouble. Moreover, the more bloodlines there are, the stronger the family will be. The Duke of Flaying has considerable power, so it is very unreasonable for him to have only one daughter.
Bella Trix said proudly: "I am the only one who survived the previous ceremonies. I am the only child."
This reason is quite convincing.
"Okay, since you said you can give me everything, then take me to your vault."
No matter what the Goddess of Pain thinks, it is definitely the right thing to do first to get the benefits that can be obtained.
Bella Trix seemed a little surprised. How could this lich get the loyalty of the nobles and such a large territory, but the first thing he said was to go and see the vault? But Bella Trix didn't dare to refuse, because she knew very well that this was her token of loyalty. If she couldn't satisfy the other party, she would die miserably.
Bella Trix had no choice but to take Amberxiu away from the mining area and head towards the main city.
Compared with the Lightman family, the territory of the Duke of Flaying seemed a bit depressed. The Lord of Storms and the Goddess of Pain were both crazy gods, but Viscount Lightman was still a normal person when he was not angry, and his management of the territory was quite normal. But the Duke of Flaying was different. In order to please this perverted goddess, this territory was really full of torture.
There were crosses everywhere along the road, all of which were stained with blood, and some rotten corpses were still hanging on them, just like the old-school vampire impalement.
The people in the territory were also quite in awe of Bella Trix. They knelt down on the ground from a distance and dared not make a sound.
Seeing this situation, Amber was very happy.
The more cruel and violent the lord is, the more wealth he will plunder, and the greater the harvest will be later.
Bella Trix led Amberthau forward and it didn't take long for them to arrive in front of a castle.
Great lords usually have their own castles, which are the core of the family, the last stronghold, and the most carefully built shelter.
With just one glance, Amber found traces of several magic traps.
However, with Bella Trix leading the way, Amberthau would naturally not encounter any obstacles, and soon met the Duke of Flayed who came after hearing the news.
Compared with Bella Trix, although the Flayed Duke still has many scars on his face, he does not seem to be as cruel as his daughter in self-abuse. This Duke still has a human appearance.
The Duke of Flaying opened his mouth and said, "The great one favored by God..."
Amber Xiu quickly told him to shut up: "If you mention the oracle again before I figure out the situation, I will use you as experimental material."
The Duke of Skinning looked at his daughter in surprise. This situation was not right. Why did the gods ask them to follow this lich, but the other party still disdained it? At Amber's strong request, the door of the vault arrived.
When he opened it, he was very satisfied with the neatly arranged boxes of gold coins.
Yes, there were seventy to eighty thousand gold coins alone, and some valuable instruments whose value was difficult to measure, but what attracted Amberxiu's attention the most was the blood-stained statue in the center of the treasury.
This is not just a statue placed at the door as decoration. Amber can feel the powerful force entwined in it.
Bella Trix quickly explained: "This is a sacred artifact we brought from the Old Country. By offering a painful sacrifice, we can communicate directly with the gods."
Amber Xiu didn't say anything, because the moment he looked into the eyes of the statue, he seemed to have entered a mysterious space.
His soul and body were completely separated, and even the lich's life box lost its function.
There is no doubt that this is the power of the gods.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
There was chaos all around, and shrill wails were heard everywhere.
An enchanting beauty appeared in front of Amberxiu. She was wearing a revealing tight leather jacket, and her exposed skin was hung with iron nails and iron rings of various shapes, which could make people feel phantom pain just by looking at them.
But her appearance was so beautiful, and her evil grin seemed full of charm.
There is no doubt that this person is the goddess of pain, Lovita. Perhaps the person in front of him is just one of her clones, but Ambershu's soul still felt tremendous pressure.
Lovita walked to the soul fire of Ambershu and touched the burning flame with her fingers.
"Finally we meet, interesting lich."
The goddess' fingertips seemed to carry a strong poison, and just a simple touch made Amber feel a sharp pain deep in his soul.
Liches don't feel pain. This long-lost feeling made Amberxiu tremble and he almost couldn't speak.
But after a moment, Amberxiu had another special feeling, as if after enduring this severe pain, his soul had been sublimated.
Amber remembered the teachings of Lovita: pain is sacred, endure pain, enjoy pain, and your life will be sublimated to another realm.
Lovita knew exactly what Amber was feeling. After she withdrew her fingers, the goddess said to Amber, "You are more talented than I thought. How about becoming my chosen one, the unbeliever? I will grant you greater power and help you become a true god."
This goddess of pain is serious. How could she be attracted to me when I am just a skeleton and can't even feel pain?
Amber had just recovered from the extreme pain and pleasure. After hearing what Lovita said, he said frankly: "No, goddess, your teachings are a bit extreme."
Amber's soul is now completely controlled by Lovita. It is meaningless to lie and cover up. It is better to be honest. Amber can only bet that Lovita dare not violate Io's rules and pull himself into this space similar to the divine realm just to "discuss" with him, not to threaten him.
Naturally, Ambershu's thoughts were clearly seen by Lovita. The Queen of Pain was very dissatisfied with Ambershu's rejection, but just as Ambershu thought, this god could not really do anything to him.
If gods want to take action against mortals, there are great restrictions.
There is a saying on the mainland that non-believers are less likely to be punished by God than devout believers. This is because the gods cannot use doctrines to restrict those who do not believe in them, but they are less restrictive when dealing with their own believers.
It was like the God of Alchemy was blasphemed and he couldn't take direct action until the Lord of Knowledge couldn't stand it anymore. Then he was able to use the power of this powerful god to deprive these alchemists of their creativity.
Therefore, in Amber's opinion, it is a wise choice not to accept Lovita's "invitation". If you don't believe her, you will not be controlled by the goddess of pain. Once Amber agrees, Lovita can punish him with the excuse of "violating the doctrine".
"You're a little too clever, lich," said Lovita in an annoyed tone.
Amber Xiu was unmoved and said to Laovita: "As a non-believer, you must be smarter, otherwise you would have gone to hell long ago. Goddess, you need to consume the power of faith on the statue to evolve this space. According to my estimation, it should not last long. So, if you have anything to say to me, I suggest you hurry up."
Lovita snorted coldly and continued, "I originally wanted to use a simpler method to make you work for me, but now it seems that there is no easy way."
Amber felt something was wrong. Why did Lauvita's tone sound like she was going to force him? She was so cruel that she even dared to break Io's rules? Wasn't she afraid of being stripped of her godhood and reduced to a mortal?
"Wait, respected Goddess of Pain, we can discuss anything. I'm just a lich, not worth your sacrifice." Amber said.
Lovita showed a cruel smile and said to Amber, "Haha, don't worry, how could I violate the rules of Io and punish mortals at will. But just because the gods can't punish mortals doesn't mean they can't bless them. I know you once gave up a powerful power. Now, let me help you get it back and accept the love of pain for you."
Lovita pulled out the long whip hanging at her waist and whipped Ambershu's soul hard.
