Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 796 Familia
In short, Adamir is the son of Lord Zhar, or at least that's what he says.

As the lord's son, he had to set an example, and he was obliged to participate in the Bloodborne rituals of pleasure. This was the reason for Adamir's escape.

He was the kind of person who wasn't particularly interested in continuing the divine bloodline, and he knew very well that he had absolutely no chance of continuing the divine bloodline; he had no opportunity to sow his seed during that violent sacrificial ceremony.

That can be seen as a form of self-awareness from another perspective.

It turns out that when faith and chrysanthemums are in conflict, men can still make sufficiently rational choices.

However, this guy always inadvertently reveals some very unmasculine expressions and behaviors, making people feel that he should actually be the kind of person who enjoys it...

...

Adamir Renly is a complex being.

At least Milo didn't know what he had fished up.

While this guy was rambling on and on about his childhood trauma, his family of origin, and the lack of fatherly love, Milo decisively stopped his uncontrollable urge to confide.

“I have no interest in your emotional entanglement with your father. If you really want to talk about it, you can confide in that two-headed snake later. He should have a lot in common with you on this issue.”

Then Adamir wisely shut his mouth.

He has now realized that playing the victim in front of this group is useless.

Even his beautiful appearance, surpassing that of 90% of women, was of no use.

Moreover, it is clear that the group of people accompanying the snake people did not visit the Zhar settlement to participate in the festivities; they had other motives.

...

“You are followers of the Three Goddesses, aren’t you? There’s no mistake, you must be.” Adamir boldly made his own conjecture.

Milo and the others did not respond to him.

Adamir became even more convinced.

He declared with unwavering conviction, “I know that your Three Goddesses Cult is plotting to annex Zhar. Believe me, my heart is also with the great Three Goddesses. I once guided the goddesses’ followers in the eastern part of Zhar! When do you intend to bring salvation to Zhar? The people here are suffering under the rule of the evil lord…”

It's clear that embellishment and improvisation are unavoidable elements in Adamir's narration.

But he did mention something that Milo cared about—the three goddesses' kin.

"Tell me about the clans of the three goddesses you've seen."

...

When the Three Goddesses' Families were mentioned, Adamir's emotions calmed down for the first time. Gone were his previous nauseatingly awkward manners, and his eyes were slowly filled with something called fear.

"What are they looking for..."

“I don’t know, but they’re definitely looking for something.”

"Fortunately, they completely disregarded my soul, even though I witnessed their movements in the deep world..."

"I did give directions, but I was just pointing randomly."

"They asked me if I had seen any trace of the haze."

"I don't understand, I can't understand at all, and the lanterns those sinister guys were carrying made me feel cold all over."

"They have so many eyes, so many..."

“Black skin… um… black… no, that’s not right, there’s no skin at all…”

"I don't know, my head hurts so much, I can't remember..."

……

In the end, Adamir seemed to really feel the chill, and curled up in the corner, too afraid to move.

Milo looked at Yan, and Yan also looked at Milo.

To be honest, based on Adamir's description, they couldn't find a corresponding race or independent species in their memory.

Putting those key elements together, it's really hard to imagine anything concrete.

Lanterns, many eyes, a deep world, black skin…

Even Milo, who had just glimpsed the memories of four undead from different periods, had no clue.

The number of kinship groups in the world is so vast that even some high-ranking individuals cannot remember how many filthy, evil, and shameful kinship groups exist within their own belief systems. But…

"How do you know those things are the three goddesses' familiars?" Milo moved his fingers, drawing out some black smoke or something similar from Adamir's brow.

"The entire procession chanted the songs of the Three Goddesses without stopping for a moment! It is true, the Goddess of Tears... the Goddess of Sighs... the Goddess of Darkness... the Goddess of Darkness... all the reptiles of the world love and serve them, our hearts, dreams, and bodies belong to their order..."

Adamir inexplicably started singing during his recollection.

The strange, intermittent song seemed to be imprinted in his mind, and now it was activated by something and started playing again.

...

"You said you gave them directions, right?"

Earlier, in Saranmeilo, they had gleaned some hidden messages through the eyes of the sorrowful old woman, discovering that they too were searching for the city shrouded in gloom.

The Three Ladies of Sorrow must ensure that Enid remains dead in the past, present, and future, thus preventing the possibility of the god's return.

Therefore, Adamir's description is most likely true.

The three sorrowful ladies' retinue searched for traces of the gloom east of Zar, referring to the city in Milo's memory.

...

“Yes! I was terrified, so I made up a lie and said that the haze was heading south, telling them to go south against the current, following the route of the southern sea monsters…” Adamir replied.

"Why there?" Milo continued to ask.

“That’s the location of the legendary sunken city. The old sailors all say that the sunken city is the lair of the sea monsters. As long as you follow the migration route of the sea monsters, you will definitely find the sunken city. My mind went blank at the time, and I only remembered this…” Adamir stammered.

Yan kept shaking his head: "I think he's almost out of ideas. Asking him like this is very inefficient. My suggestion is to bury him and then use your spying trick. That would be safer."

“He’s telling the truth.” Milo shook his finger, and the black smoke swirling around his fingertip indicated that Adamir was speaking under his dream-inducing control.

He essentially handed over the very source of his fear; the three ladies' retinues were the source of his deepest dread.

...

"I see." Yan seemed to understand, then turned to Adamir and asked loudly, "So what is your sexual orientation?"

"reindeer."

"Ok?"

...

……

Regardless of the reindeer issue.

Adamir desperately wanted to escape Zhar and the control of his lord father, but his little wrecked boat had been broken in two, and the direction his snake ship would take was no longer up to him.

Even if you want to follow the route of the three ladies of sorrow, you still have to pass through the dense archipelago of the Zhar settlement and the surrounding islands to get to the eastern side.

And so Adamir returned once again to his nightmare homeland.

However, he was right about one thing: there are indeed quite a few wild reindeer living on this archipelago, with Zhar as the main island...

...

……

The islands under the Three Goddesses of Sorrow faith order and the islands under the Bloodborne faith order are not actually that different. The bounty order for exchanging power or the development of Bloodborne are matters that the Visionaries worry about, and have little to do with the common people. Life goes on, and what difference does it make which god you pray to?

Even in rituals like the Pleasure Ritual, which could easily lead to one's death from pleasure, the lower classes were not qualified to participate. Only those with pure and wise souls were eligible, such as the illegitimate sons of wealthy merchants or the offspring of lords like Adamir.

Despite his reluctance, Adamir had no choice but to jump into the sea before the serpent ship reached the archipelago waters where the Zhar settlement was located. However, a two-headed black serpent named Woti Ig was following behind the serpent ship...

So as the ship slowly sailed back to the river basin he was familiar with, Adamir remained silent, crouching in a dark corner of the cabin with his knees drawn up to his chest.

Outside the cabin, Yan was carefully introducing things to Xiao Yan:

"See that? That's the sitting posture during the darkest hour."
