Of course, Ogoros did not move. The shell was forcibly intercepted by the weapons master next to him. Ogoros frowned and looked at the three drops of blood in the shell on his subordinate's hand. He felt that the scene in front of him seemed He had heard of it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment. Thinking that he had dismissed his subordinates before, he thought of many doubts, so that now when he faced Siassi, he had a lot of confusion in his heart. Ogo Ross secretly told himself that he would favor less concubines in the future.
"Here, what does this thing mean?" Ogoros frowned and asked, "Don't you think that such an inexplicable thing will make me accept your boring challenge?"
"Haha, it seems that Mr. O'Goros, you are really no longer worthy of staying as the head of the family. You have completely forgotten the oldest tradition of the family." Siassi smiled sweetly, and she looked at O'Goros. He raised his bandaged finger, then pointed at the shell he threw and said, "Have you forgotten all the rules set by Mr. Alex O'Loughlin, the third generation head of the family? "
After listening to Shiasisi's words, Ogoros's heart skipped a beat because he suddenly remembered the family rule Shiasisi mentioned that was so ancient that almost no one cared about it. At that time, the entire Naga Empire was still very Weak, the Obidouh family does not exist in this empire at all. The third-generation head of the family, Alex O'Loughlin, is just a follower of a high-ranking official. However, he worked hard and coupled with opportunities. By coincidence, a business was slowly created. It is said that Alex O'Loughlin is the third generation head of the family. In fact, that is because when the Obidouh family was canonized by the Queen of the Empire, Alex In order to cover up his superficial historical inheritance, O'Loughlin deliberately placed his father and grandfather in front of himself in the family genealogy, so that others would see that the family has been passed down for at least three generations, rather than in Aili. Chris O'Loughlin's generation rose up like a nouveau riche,
The reason why Alex O'Loughlin was able to create a large family that has been passed down for nearly ten thousand years was all because his previous master when he was a follower was incompetent, which gave him the opportunity to rise up, so when he In his later years, when his health failed and he was about to give up his position as the head of the family, he specially summoned all the members of the whole family and announced the next family rule in public, so that every head of the family would always live in fear. It was precisely because these heads were always full of worries in their hearts. Being vigilant gave them the motivation to lead their clansmen to continue to expand their family's glory.
"The position of the head of the family must be occupied by the strongest person in the family. Any direct bloodline of the family has the only opportunity in this life to challenge the head of the family with his own blood. The head of the family must fight, otherwise he will automatically abdicate in favor of someone more powerful. "Xia Sisi slowly recited the ancient family motto: "The head of the family does not necessarily have to be brave, nor does he have to have extraordinary magic, but at least he must have a shrewd mind, careful thinking and loyal subordinates. Therefore, when the head of the family challenges, he can bring several guards with him, just like the New Year sacrifice in the empire. There are equal numbers of challengers and challengers, and they compete in a battle of wits and courage within the agreed time. The loser loses his life, and the winner becomes the head of the family. Other than that This 'bloody dance' must not involve other people within the family, and other people in the family must not interfere with it."
"Mr. O'Goros, have you forgotten the family's tradition of the 'Bloody Ball'?" After Siassi recited that family motto, she said to O'Goros in a mocking tone: "Still, you can't even be trusted." You don't even have a dance partner, or you have lost all the courage to face the challenge."
Ogoroth's face was ashen and silent. He never expected that Siassi would actually use such an extremely ancient family motto. This was originally used to stimulate family members to work hard at the beginning of the family business. Because the head of the family does not dare to be pampered, otherwise he may be killed at the hands of a challenger at any time, and if the members of the family have enough confidence, they can also use this to reach the sky. This is no different from the wolves on land or the Terrorclaws in the underwater world. They all rely on internal small-scale fighting to select the strongest person to lead the entire community.
It’s just that after so many years of inheritance of the empire, the members of the Obiduh family have slowly forgotten this family motto. On the one hand, the person who serves as the head of the family must be the best in the family. When inheriting the position of the head of the family, the family members The outstanding tribesmen have already fought once. Of course, it is difficult for ordinary tribesmen to defeat the final winner from countless elite sieges; on the other hand, with the expansion of the family's power, the head of the family has enough power and wealth to recruit For a powerful bodyguard, even if someone really intends to challenge him, he will usually end up defeated and killed. Moreover, every family head is not a fool. In order to ensure his status, he will naturally provide enough benefits to win over the members of the family and use the benefits to Bind them to yourself, so that ordinary tribesmen do not need to risk their lives and can enjoy generous benefits. Over time, more things will become worse than less things.
"Very good, very..." Ogoros gritted his teeth and said a few words. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind. His most trusted bodyguard, Pablo, had just died, and Siassi was here. Suddenly stood up and challenged himself. Could it be that the whole incident was carefully planned by someone from beginning to end? Ogoros's eyes almost immediately turned to Tisilis standing on the viewing platform. He first thought that she was The mastermind behind the scenes, but then I thought about it. If Tisilis was powerful enough to use the young master of the Tolgli family to influence her son to provoke the strong tiefling in public, then her strength would be terrifying. , could it be said that this is another conspiracy of the Torgelie family, because Siassi is now the woman of the young master of the other family. From the perspective of benefit, if the Torgelie family bribes someone around them If the bodyguard counterattacked during the bloody dance, wouldn't the entire Obiduh family become the puppets of the Torgelie family
Ogoroth's eyes slid over the three new bodyguards around him, and his heart was full of doubts. He suddenly felt that the three people in front of him were particularly strange. No matter who he looked at, they looked like the spies who had been bribed. This made him Ogoros was a little worried because he didn't know who Siassi would bring out and who he should bring to fight.
"According to the ancient motto of the family, I believe you will never refuse my challenge." Siassi's heart was filled with the pleasure of revenge. After taking a few more glances at her father's suspicious face, she continued: "I will only bring my Uncle Watson with me to this bloody dance. As a challenger, I can decide the time and place of this dance first. Then it is now, Mr. Ogoros, I can I’ll give you 10 minutes to prepare.”
"Asshole." Ogoros couldn't help but cursed in his heart. Originally, the two elements of time and place were proposed by both parties. It was usually the place where the challenger proposed a fight, and the challenger was the head of the family who proposed the date. This way, the head of the family who passively accepts the fight can at least leave a preparation time. However, this is just an agreed rule and does not exist in the family motto, so now Siassi has taken advantage of it. He took advantage of the opportunity and actually proposed that the ball should be held immediately. In this way, the choice left to Ogoros was almost doomed, because Ogoros would not be able to leave this huge fortress within 10 minutes.
Ogoroth's mind was spinning rapidly. Since Siassi was confident enough to challenge him, she naturally had the means in her hands that could allow her to win. Ogoroth would not just take someone with him casually. He just found a place and accepted the challenge. He thought for 20 seconds, raised his head and said loudly: "Since you insist on having your own way, then I will exercise the power of my family head to punish family rebels in this challenge." Ogoros said Here, he turned his head towards Tisilis and said: "Lord, I know that this fortress has a labyrinth extending in all directions underground. It was originally used to deal with enemies who invaded the fortress, but now I hope You can borrow it.”
"No problem, Mr. Ogoroth." Tisilis nodded and replied: "I will immediately send people to guide both sides. In addition, I will also completely seal the maze leading to the ground during your battle. There are several entrances and exits to prevent others from entering and affecting you. In addition, I don’t know if you have anything else you need me to provide, or to select a few notaries from the spectators in front of me.”
"Don't bother. With Special Envoy Divog here, I'm not worried about some people with ulterior motives." Ogoros sneered a few times and said these words, but his eyes were staring at him at the same time. Looking at Siassi, as if to keep her appearance firmly in his heart, just when Siassi greeted Ogoros's anger with a smile, Ogoros completely calmed down his mind and pointed. The great mage behind him who was good at water magic said to him: "Bavalik, please join me in the challenge. Your water magic should be more effective in that kind of environment."
Grand Magister Bavaria nodded proudly. He and another Grand Magister of Electricity were competitors with each other. Now that he was selected by the Patriarch to participate in such an important battle as the Bloody Ball, he was naturally ecstatic, because this was recognized by the Patriarch. This is a clear proof. As for the battle that will begin soon, Bavarik doesn't care about it. Doesn't it mean that his great mage can't deal with a few brats
The eyes of the other two bodyguards showed a mixture of envy, jealousy, and hatred. However, one of them is a great electrical mage who is better at attacking, and the other is a weapons master. In the chaotic and chaotic underground maze, It is indeed not as effective as a great water mage in such an environment. Speaking of which, if Ogoros brought his few "reapers" who are good at assassinating in the dark today, I am afraid that the great water mage would You may not be eligible to be selected.
