Chapter 412: Chapter 266: Believers of Desire (3)_2

Prince Warren was discussing a very important matter with Qin Chu, sitting on a stone next to the tent.

"Mr. Brave, I truly admire you. A Snow Woman, a Blood Elf, even at the level of a Great Sage... My God, even Snow Women and Blood Elves of average strength are highly sought after among the nobles, and you actually managed to bring back two... not, I mean capture... ahem, I mean bring back two, admirable, truly admirable..." Warren squinted his eyes, not stinting his words of praise.

Whatever woman he fancied, he had.

If human women no longer satisfied, then he would directly go and snatch a few beautiful witches from the demons.

For a man to do this, it’s really too enviable.

"So, could I ask Mr. Brave, next time, when you stroll in the Demon Territory, could you please help me capture an Enchanting Demon..." Prince Warren made a somewhat flattering request.

Enchanting Demon, ah.

The dream of men.

Even Warren was no exception.

His gaze then fell on Silf who had just returned wearing a maid costume, and he was even more shocked.

Goddess above.

To make the naturally proud Ghost Shooter wear a maid costume... only Mr. Brave could achieve this, how did he do it?

Qin Chu’s head filled with black lines, Prince Warren said he had a very important and serious matter to discuss, is this what you call a serious matter?

Enchanting Demon?

With your physique, can you even sustain it?

I bet she could dismantle you.

Qin Chu feigned a cough, "Prince Warren... let’s talk about the Enchanting Demon some other time. You said you came to discuss some serious business with me?"

Warren seemed to have completely forgotten the etiquette required of a member of the Royal Family, slapping his forehead as if he just remembered.

This demeanor, inexplicably, doesn’t make him disliked.

Warren then took off a ring and handed it to Qin Chu, his expression somewhat ambiguous.

Qin Chu, suspicious, took the ring and saw that inside it were rows of pale green medicine.

This item, Wozworth also had in the palace he passed to Qin Chu.

It was called Energy Recovery Potion!

The name did not sound very impressive, but it was a product of extremely high proficiency in Magic Potion Refining, and the materials used were extremely precious, with each bottle costing at least a hundred thousand Mana.

Qin Chu had used it multiple times on his first week!

Fighting demons, when exhausted, consuming a bottle could accelerate the recovery speed of Physical Strength, quickly rejuvenating him.

At the same time, it also had effects similar to those of the Moon Flower.

"The father king knows that Mr. Brave, you are working so hard day and night, and your body is exhausted, so he prepared a little gift for you," Warren said with a smile.

Qin Chu wore a strange expression: "Is this the so-called serious matter?"

That being said, he still transferred all the medicine to his own ring, returning the now empty storage ring to Warren.

He didn’t do this out of any sleazy idea, but because this world was really too dangerous, with demons everywhere, it was good to keep them just in case.

Warren’s expression gradually became solemn: "There’s another matter..."

"It’s about my older brother..."

The eldest prince, huh?

Qin Chu’s expression also grew serious, as he knew far too little about those beings in the Void.

"After a meticulous investigation by the royal family, some clues have emerged about the Evil God that corrupted my elder brother."

Warren suddenly fell silent, and Angelica approached with a teacup in hand.

Smiling lightly after taking a sip, Warren nodded to Angelica, "Your tea art is exquisite, Miss Angelica."

After Angelica had walked away, Warren continued:

"That being is called the Lord of Desire, also known as the Lord of Pleasure, the Desire Goddess, the Fallen Son, and so forth, it goes by many names."

Qin Chu frowned: "Desire Goddess? The Fallen Son?"

"Yes, it’s a being of indeterminate gender, or rather... it can switch at will, even embodying both male and female simultaneously," Warren spread his hands helplessly.

For humans, this might seem like an unimaginable notion, but for those uncanny beings, it seems quite normal.

"Records about this deity are scarce; it is known only that, aside from presiding over desire, it also governs the domains of elegance and nobility."

"After thorough verification, more than a thousand years ago, the Lord of Desire had some followers in the Oville Empire. They formed a religion filled with corruption and filth, centered around indulgence and pleasure, to lure other beings into corruption, for what they consider the most delightful activity."

"The followers of its nobility and elegance were also devotees... The conflicts among followers of the same deity—desire, elegance, and nobility—took an even more intense form than conflicts with the Holy Court."

"It reached a point where they would not rest until one side was annihilated."

"But, as you know, although elegance and nobility are enviable, desire is the most enthralling."

"Eventually, the followers of nobility and elegance were annihilated by the cult of desire."

"And this sinister religion was eventually eradicated by many other churches at the time, thus disappearing from history."

Warren spoke quietly about the Lord of Desire, and Qin Chu listened quietly as well.

"But, darkness is always difficult to completely eradicate."

"It may not be quite appropriate for me to say this, given my status, but the corruption of the noble class is most conducive to the breeding of such evil beliefs."

"The followers of the Lord of Desire have always existed in this world in one form or another, corrupting everyone they encounter."

"Recently, Duchess Wyatt held a private gathering, attended by twenty-four other noblewomen and ladies, plus dozens of brawny male guards and commoners..."

Needless to say, everyone knows what this so-called gathering was really about.

"Duke Wyatt had long suspected his wife, so not long after the party started, he led a group of private soldiers and stormed into the venue."

"I did not witness the scene myself, but... from what I know, the most frequently used descriptors are... chaotic, dirty, filthy, corrupt..."

"Although Duke Wyatt suspected his wife of infidelity, he could not believe that she was such a shameless woman. Overwhelmed with emotion, he trembled as he pointed his finger at his wife, stuttering the word ’you’ three times, and then he died of rage right there..."

Qin Chu expressed sympathy for Duke Wyatt. He had intended to catch his wife cheating but unexpectedly couldn’t handle it and died from sheer anger—a rather tragic end.

"The matter escalated, and the royal family intervened, arresting everyone who attended the party. During the interrogation, information about a mysterious organization emerged..."

"The Blissful Witch Association!"

Qin Chu’s gaze sharpened slightly.

The woman who had once disguised herself as Angelica to assassinate him was a member of the Blissful Witch Association.

It was unexpected that this secretive organization had penetrated to the level of the Duchess.

And the Duchess could at most be considered high up in the ranks, yet not at the top.

What was revealed now was merely the tip of the iceberg.

Qin Chu recalled... The woman had also mentioned that the Blissful Witch Association worshipped a deity known as the Lord of Pleasure.

Warren continued, "The Blissful Witch Association worships that evil deity, the Lord of Pleasure."

"And they are currently planning an assassination... and you, Mr. Brave, are their target!"
