He promised to become a knight, but what the heck is Astartes?

"What a delightful scene this is! If the Blood God could see it, he would be very happy."

Blood God again?

Ilya raised an eyebrow. Where did this evil cult and evil god come from?

"Hehe, ignorant people. War brings bloodshed, and bloodshed is the offering for the God of Blood. Therefore, the God of War is also the God of Blood."

Seeing Ilya's puzzled expression, Luo Xia smiled and explained.

After all, the Wise System said that the god of war is Khorne, and Khorne is also the god of blood!

Therefore, we can conclude that the god of war is the god of blood!

No hair!

Chapter 31 My name is Luo Xia, and now I'm going to start my charade...

"War brings bloodshed, and blood is sacrificed to the god of blood..."

"So the god of war is the god of blood?"

Ilya, chewing on her pink lollipop stick, raised an eyebrow after hearing Rorschach's explanation, a strange glint flashing in her wine-red eyes.

She recalled with a rather adorable expression, then shook her head and said with a rather puzzled tone:

"I've never heard of such a saying."

As the legitimate daughter of Earl Roland, Ilya was quite knowledgeable in Adelaide City, having read through the scriptures of various churches.

But when did such a bloody and brutal explanation appear in the doctrines of the god of war?

Moreover, as far as Ilya knew, besides this official divine name, the most widely known name for the God of War was also the God of War.

This is also the title most often used by knights, after all, who wouldn't want to become a god of war?

The name of the Blood God that Luo Xia mentioned sounds like pure cult stuff, even more evil than the demon gods in the abyss...

Therefore, Ilya had no doubt that if Rorschach's words were heard by believers spreading the faith of the God of War, or by fanatical madmen, it would be quite a problem.

but……

Thinking this, Ilya looked at Rorschach's fanatical and obsessed demeanor and tone, and suddenly felt that this 'Khorne' in front of her was probably even more extreme than those fanatical madmen!

but……

Say what you want.

Ilya shrugged, her legs, clad in black stockings, dangling in mid-air, and said nonchalantly:

"Anyway, our Luo Lan family worships the God of Radiance. You bunch of war-crazed lunatics whose minds are filled with the thrill of battle, I don't care what you call your master..."

As she spoke, Ilya leaned forward slightly, her wine-red eyes fixed on the brass demon mask on Rorschach's face, a rather innocent smile playing on her lips:

"What I really care about is you. How about you work for me?"

"I don't care who you are, but if you fight in the Night Owl Arena and win thirteen consecutive matches, then for the benefit of myself and the Night Owl Arena, you must sign a contract with the Night Owl Arena, otherwise..."

Before Ilya could finish speaking, she snapped her fingers crisply, and the scarred man beside her immediately handed her a parchment contract.

"If you become a contracted fighter at the Night Owl Arena, we'll split your appearance fee and prize money 50/50."

"In addition, I am willing to pay you a signing fee of one thousand gold pounds."

One thousand gold pounds!

Upon hearing this, Rorschach's heart skipped a beat. He remembered that Baron Frost's annual land tax was at most less than two or three thousand gold pounds.

This legally wealthy young woman in front of us has spent half a year's GDP of the Frost Baron family in one go. This is simply outrageously extravagant!

It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy!

Although Luo Xia was very tempted, he didn't look at the contract. Instead, he crossed his arms and snorted coldly:

"Not enough, I want 60/40, I'll take 60%, and you take 40%."

Upon hearing Luo Xia's arrogant words, the scarred man beside him gasped and trembled.

In Adelaide, this kid is definitely the first person to dare to haggle with Count Roland's eldest daughter like this!

If anyone else had dared to do that, their graves would probably be over a meter high with grass growing on them by now!

"Ha, quite the boast!"

"A 50/50 split is the highest Night Owl can offer! Originally, I only planned to give you a 70/30 split!"

Upon hearing this, Ilya narrowed her eyes, and a unique aura of extraordinary knights emanated from her. If Rorschach didn't explain, she was about to start breathing on him!

After all, apart from the other two eldest sons of the Earl's family, no one else in the entire city of Adelaide dared to speak to her like that!

Moreover, although Rorschach's spatial storage ability made Ilya uncertain about his original identity for a moment,

But at this moment, Ilya also realized what was going on. After all, she could clearly sense the aura of the Fire Serpent Breathing Technique. And if someone could use such a high-level knight's breathing technique, how high could the background of this 'Khorne' be?

It can only be said that Luo Xia's attempt to show off failed; Ilya noticed his poor, out-of-town air.

Even so, Rorschach met Ilya's gaze without flinching, then suddenly opened his arms wide, as if to complete some glorious ritual, and said in an extremely fervent tone:

"I will achieve an eighty-eight-game winning streak in the Night Owl Arena!"

"I will use the skulls of these eighty-eight powerful warriors to prove my loyalty to the Blood God!"

"I will make the name 'Khorne' resound throughout the entire underworld of the North!"

As he spoke, Luo Xia paused for a moment, then stepped forward and grabbed Ilya's small hand, his expression filled with excitement:

"Just imagine! By then, your Night Owl Arena will resound throughout the North because of the name 'Khorne'! By then, the ticket sales, betting odds, and fame you've earned because of me will be ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times!"

"So I'll take 60%, and you won't just break even, you'll actually make a killing!"

Rorschach's voice was firm and resolute, and through his illusory promises, Ilya seemed to truly witness that scene.

He clenched his little hand and slowly walked up to the pristine white church...

Ok?

What the heck is going on?!

Ilya didn't listen to Rorschach's empty promises at all. She kept staring at her right hand, which had turned red from Rorschach's grip, and felt her whole body tremble.

This is the first time...

This is the first time someone has dared to get so close to me!

How dare he!

madman!

This 'Khorne' is a complete madman!

Ilya looked at Rorschach, and it was as if through that cold brass mask she could see those blue, luminous eyes, as beautiful as the Milky Way…

"it is good."

Ilya shook off Rorschach's hand, her ears also turning bright red. Then she took the lollipop out of her mouth, pointed at Rorschach, and said:

"Then it's a 60/40 split, I agree. But if you break your winning streak or die in the ring, I will collect every last penny you owe me from your grave!"

"Hehe, then you probably won't have such an opportunity in your life."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xia smiled, after all, his soul would return to the Golden Throne after his death!

As for the grave mound?

Only those who are incompetent before the emperor return to their graves!

“Scar, draft a new contract according to what ‘Khorne’ said.”

Ilya gave the order to the scarred man who was completely stunned in place.

Upon hearing Ilya's words, the scarred man finally came to his senses.

What did I just see?!

This brat actually touched Lady Ilya's hand! Isn't he afraid of dying?!

But seeing that Ilya said nothing and even agreed to Rorschach's conditions, the scarred man felt that Lady Ilya was completely unfamiliar at this moment.

When the scarred man went to rewrite the contract, only Rorschach and Ilya remained in the room.

Time seemed to stand still, and the two of them suddenly fell silent.

Luo Xia glanced at Ilya, the little girl, and felt a little scared as well, seeing her little hand that he had just gripped so tightly that it was red.

Oh no, he got too excited just now and got too into character!

If this little girl has some taboo that can't be touched, he won't have BBQ!

Rorschach doesn't want to return to the Golden Throne yet!

At this moment, Ilya felt extremely uncomfortable all over. She could feel Rorschach's gaze peeking at her, but when she felt the heat in her right hand and the violent pounding of her heart, she felt completely powerless...

Chapter 32 Choose the Hook You Will Be Loyal To

[By the great Emperor Hook! You actually managed to secure your own interests from this Khorne, the great demon disguised as a little girl! This is simply unbelievable!]

[The great Emperor, already astonished by your performance, rewarded you for your actions, but also cautioned you to exercise restraint. After all, your frenzied performance was so vivid that even Khorne boasted that he had found an absolutely loyal subject and would give you the opportunity to become a demon prince.]

[Recognize your place, my child! You will remain loyal to the Emperor's Hook, won't you?]

[Received a small reward from the Emperor: +1 Skill Point, 500 Emperor Honor Points!]

Hard to say...

As Rorschach used a quill to write the word 'Khorne' on the contract in a flamboyant style, the voice of the Wise System suddenly echoed in his mind.

This immediately surprised Luo Xia.

What's going on today? The great emperor is actually giving out rewards?

Could it be that the great emperor actually listened to my suggestion?

Your Majesty, you're actually quite receptive to advice!

You should have said so earlier!
