Novel Bin Chapter 33 On The Search
"Ehh?" Max raised his eyebrows upon glancing at the notifications right before him. \'Martial Demon….Demon God…\'
Max was surprised and ecstatic at the same time; he felt he had hit the jackpot. But he was also confused. \'How did this low-ranking demon get the bloodline of a martial demon? It doesn\'t make sense; I want to ask the system about the truth, but I feel like I would miss the exhilaration of finding the truth about myself.\'
Then Max marked the name Martial Demon God inside his head as he found something interesting. \'It is said he disappeared, not died. There is something going on here, hmmm…I guess I will find out later about this.\'
\'Now let\'s take a look at Ravenna\'s.\' Max became eager again, as he was always interested in her ability and her race.
[ General: Ravenna
Race: Blood Succubus
Magic Realm: 3rd Stage Apprentice Realm
Vitality Realm: 9th Stage Health Seeker
Combat Strength: 2nd Stage Energy Cultivator
Ability: Whisperer of Blood
Vitality Technique: None
Skills: Basic Archery(Mastered) ]
\'Blood Succubus…so, she is of a different branch.\' Max was a little surprised to find Ravenna wasn\'t just a succubus but of a different breed too.
[ Blood Succubus: A demon born to only serve strong demon lords. They have zero voice in their community as they are seen as demons that do service, their strong ability to convince strong children, and as battle partners for lords. They are settled in from the 10th floor to the 12th floor of the Demon Realm. ]
Max raised his eyebrows and pondered. \'They look like slaves and prostitutes for the ruling class.\'
Then he shifted at her ability, which let her control blood.
[ Whisperer of Blood: Can let you control the blood of your own and others. There is a legend: If you reach a certain stage in strength, you can kill a living person just by controlling their blood. ]
\'A legend?\' A smirk gradually grew on Max\'s face. \'System, don\'t chalk that off as a legend. Legends are only born from truth.\'
Max felt the system wanted to bait him and hype him up for that, but he knew the system wouldn\'t put that piece of information there for no reason.
Max raised his head and saw Ragnar disciplining the Meatscrapers like a PE teacher would his students.
Seeing he had nothing to do, Max went to cultivate, as he felt he was close to breaking through a major realm.
…
A few minutes later, Ravenna had arrived with two sets of clothes.
Max woke up from his cultivation state and breathed out a small amount of steam. \'I still need a few days. After passing sixteen years, the mana veins in my body were all opened, and now they are helping me to gather mana more easily into my mana core than in previous times.\'
Then Max and Ragnar wore the clothes, which were basic leather shirts and pants.
"Now, let\'s go take a look at this pig\'s hideout. Ragnar, lead the way." Max said, looking at Ragnar.
Ragnar bowed his head and led them to their destination while also taking the Meatscapers. They went around the hill, then walked in a straight line, and finally arrived at their place.
"That was short. We could have come here earlier." Ravenna asked, tilting her head.
Max facepalmed and said with a sigh. "It is because I don\'t want to walk around with a damaged cloth and a naked man."
"Oh," Ravenna looked up at the sky and tapped on her oval-shaped mouth.
The Swinefiend General\'s base was just a basic wooden house that had a roof shaped like a cone and a circular body. There were piles and piles of bones scattered outside the base, where various critters and bugs could be seen crawling around.
Max and the people behind him walked into it like it was nothing. They entered the small house and saw nothing but a small mat and piles of ashes.
"Lord, those ashes are from the Common Mana Crystals that pig absorbed." Max didn\'t know if Ragnar called Swinefiend General a pig because he was having a hard time finding a proper name for it or in spite of pure anger.
But that didn\'t matter much to Max, as he was a bit disappointed now because not seeing any Common Mana Crystals. He knew the Swinefiend General would use them, but not to this extent. \'That guy was a true glutton.\'
"Let\'s leave. There is nothing here, and put those guys to work. Just don\'t be hard or they won\'t be productive." After leaving this order, Max and Ravenna left the place.
Ragnar took the order to his heart and went to put those Meatscrapers back to mining once again, and didn\'t treat them too harshly as Max told him.
…
Max and Ravenna walked past their house, making Ravenna a bit doubtful.
Max saw Ravenna\'s doubt but didn\'t reveal anything at first; instead, he said to her. "Go, bring two cloaks."
Ravenna went to the house and quickly took out two brown leather cloaks. They both put them on and started walking toward the city. Now, Ravenna asked. "Max, why are we going there now?"
"Do you know what people do when they believe in certain gods?" Max asked nonchalantly.
Ravenna scratched her cheeks with her index finger, giving a pensive look at the sky. Then she finally got that answer as she remembered the things Max told her in the past. "They build temples and churches to let everyone gather and pray together. That is also the place where the teachings of the gods and the gods\' apostles are found."
Max turned his head at Ravenna and said with a smirk. "You still remember what I said so many years ago. You have a sharp mind, Ravenna."
"No, it\'s nothing," Ravenna said, with pride in her voice.
Max just laughed at her actions, as it made him recall her tantrums and how she acted. Then he said to her. "So, we are going to find a church of a god, or we might get to see many others too."
Max had visited only two cities in the past, and he had also seen everything those cities had to offer. He did see those lascivious churches in the past, but he tossed it off as he felt religion wasn\'t much, but now he feels like it might be the core of this world\'s social structure.
