Chapter 8
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Lei’s bow caught the mixed-blood elf somewhat off guard, but very quickly, she also bowed toward Lin Lei in a way that Lin Lei did not understand.
“I’m Daisy Windtalker, an archer from Satya.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Lei was surprised.
According to the records of the Fox Clan, Satya was not close to Talantum, and there was a human empire in between—the Halhaza Sultanate.
In terms of land area, the Halhaza Sultanate was larger than Talantum, and its national power was no less than Talantum’s.
Even Lin Lei’s orc tribe had been raided by cross-border slave-hunting squads from Halhaza. It must be understood that his tribe was located within the borders of the Talantum Kingdom.
Furthermore, the slavery system in the Halhaza Sultanate was more rampant and cruel than that in Talantum. At the very least, there was no such thing as castration in Talantum.
A half-elf had traveled across this slave-controlled sultanate to reach Talantum. This was far too shocking for Lin Lei.
Daisy could see Lin Lei’s surprise. Originally, she did not want to say anything, but seeing how polite Lin Lei was, she decided to give him a brief explanation.
“The people of Halhaza also do business with the people of Talantum, so it’s normal for them to trade slaves with each other.”
Lin Lei let out an ‘oh’. Without asking any further, he began to explain what ’empty promises’ meant.
Lin Lei did not expect her to not know what the saying meant.
No matter what, Lin Lei had explained clearly what ’empty promises’ meant.
“I see!”
After a long explanation, Daisy finally understood what he meant.
Before she could form a reaction, her expression instantly collapsed.
Lin Lei could tell that she was unhappy. He asked, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing. My master said the same thing when he sent me here,” Daisy replied gloomily.
“He said he’d give me freedom after winning 100 battles. I always thought that he had no choice but to do this to me and that he’s actually a kind and good person…”
Lin Lei did not say anything.
No wonder Tullius was so familiar with those lines. It turned out that he had always used the same script.
“I’ll kill him when I get out!” Daisy muttered.
Hearing this, Lin Lei had a curious look on his face. “What? You have a way to get out?”
Daisy shook her head. “No, I’ve won 90 battles. I’ll be able to leave after ten more.”
“Oh, it’s…”
Lin Lei was just about to say something, but the expression on his face quickly froze. “Wait, you’re saying that you’ve won 90 battles?!”
Lin Lei’s eyes almost pierced through Daisy.
Although this half-elf looked slender, it was an illusion caused by her long legs.
She was at least half a head shorter than Lin Lei!
In addition, she looked even skinnier than Lin Lei.
With such a physique, Lin Lei found it hard to believe that this fellow could win 90 battles, but judging from Daisy’s expression, she did not seem to be lying.
Could there be some kind of trick?
Just as Lin Lei was pondering what to say, Daisy said, “Don’t ask. I won’t tell you even if there’s a way.”
Lin Lei thought for a moment, then agreed. He did not ask and just said, “That’s true. It’s no use even if I find out.
“I still don’t know if we’ll be set free after winning a hundred battles.”
This infuriated Daisy, who bared her teeth and said, “I’ll definitely be set free!
“Although the people of Talantum are pagans and polytheists and they can be said to be useless in terms of faith, there’s one good thing about them.
“That is, they do believe in gods, and they’re very devout.
“Since he mentioned the gods, I’m sure he won’t lie.”
Hearing this, Lin Lei rolled his eyes. “Do you know which deities he was referring to?”
Daisy was instantly speechless. Lin Lei continued to pursue. “What if he’s talking about the blessings of the ancestors of us orcs?
“If we win a hundred battles, we’ll be regarded as a blessing from the Ancestral God, but what does that have to do with the people of Talantum?
“Don’t you agree?”
Daisy gritted her teeth, her eyes bloodshot. “Shut up! The people of Talantum would never acknowledge a god of a foreign religion!”
Lin Lei knew that his questions had broken through Daisy’s defense, causing her to unconsciously protect herself.
However, he had no intention of letting Daisy go. “Where did you get your Talantum knowledge from?” he asked.
“At most, you got it from reading books, right, Miss Daisy? Strictly speaking, I’m also a citizen of Talantum, but I don’t believe in their nonsense.
“Do you think you can define all of them just because you’ve met a few Talantum people?
“Let’s take a step back. Did he swear to the gods when he made that promise to you?”
Daisy thought for a moment and shook her head.
Lin Lei suddenly slapped his thigh.”Then that’s it! Even if you swear to the gods, you might still lie, let alone someone who didn’t swear!”
Daisy subconsciously took a step back as if she had heard something outrageous. “Impossible. How can someone lie after swearing to the gods?”
“There are such people!” Lin Lei nodded, then said, “For example, me.
“I swear to my Ancestral God right now that I’m a woman!”
Daisy was completely at a loss for words.
Daisy looked at Lin Lei’s face, then said with uncertainty, “Is it possible that you’re actually a woman?”
Lin Lei expressionlessly lifted up his own robe.
Daisy’s eyes widened, and her face and neck turned red. “You… You… You…”
Lin Lei felt that he had gone a bit too far.
He was too emotional just now, so he exposed his d*ck when he faced such a question.
However, he did not remember having such strange urges.
‘Is it the side effect of bloodline awakening?’
Just as he was mumbling in his heart, a voice suddenly came from the bottom of his heart. ‘Hey, hey, it’s fine if you scold me, but don’t slander me!’
‘Ancestral God?’
Lin Lei was startled. As a man from the 21st century who was not a devout believer, he was often bold enough to say anything.
However, he did not expect to be caught a second time.
The Ancestral God’s voice sounded in his heart. “I can sense it when you mention my name. Don’t call me by my name for everything in the future. It’s very annoying, do you understand?”
Was the Ancestral God so awesome?
Lin Lei was thinking about some impolite things, but he did not expect that his actions just now would have given Daisy such a huge psychological blow.
Lying under the name of the gods was standard blasphemy, and it was almost certain that he would be punished by the gods.
Even if it was a heretic god, such a thing was not allowed.
Gods also wanted their dignity. If their own believers made fun of other gods, then the believers of other gods could naturally do the same.
Daisy recalled the examples of tragic deaths from divine punishment in the classics she had read, and her worldview was about to collapse.
