Close Combat Mage Chapter 448

Hearing this familiar rumbling sound, all the villagers kneeled down in fear. They had personally witnessed the terror of King squid s many times. If not for the monthly sacrifice of a Holy Maiden, their entire clan would have been exterminated a long time ago!

Very quickly, the gigantic King squid had risen to the top of the cliff and obediently stayed there, constantly waving its dozens of tentacles, waiting for Soga's next order.

Smiling as he looked at the crowd gathered at the valley floor, Soga said blandly, "Don't be afraid, you all can raise your heads and take a look at whether or not I am the owner of the King squid!"

Hearing Soga's words, everyone was stunned for a moment, then raised their heads and looked towards Soga's direction. What they saw was Soga standing there proudly, behind Soga, the King squid that covered half the sky stopped obediently behind Soga, and did not dare move.

Although it was hard to believe, the truth had proven everything. What Soga said was not a lie, this King squid was indeed this young man's personal pet.

Looking at the shocked expression on the clan leader's face, Soga smiled lightly: "Alright, I want to know how many people your Holy Maiden has. If you have enough, and if you pay me back in one go, I can promise you that in the future, the King squid will leave this place and will no longer threaten your villagers!"

Upon hearing Soga's words, with the support of the King squid, the clan leader could not help but believe in him. She knelt down while trembling and said, "We have a total of three Holy Maiden s, and all of them were chosen from all the girls in the clan. They are the most beautiful Holy Maiden s."

Soga nodded his head in understanding. Three Holy Maiden s were already quite a lot, since only one would be consumed in a year, and the reason for the existence of the other two was to avoid any accidents. If any one of the Holy Maiden were to die due to an accident, it would not be impossible for them to do the same thing, because the King squid would not care about that, and they would not be able to catch any fish without giving the Holy Maiden a chance.

Soga slightly nodded his head, and said in a heavy voice: "The number is still too small, but it's fine, bring the other two Holy Maiden s over, I will bring the King squid and leave this place, in the future, you guys don't have to worry about the King squid anymore."

Hearing Soga's words, clan leader couldn't help but tremble in excitement. If Soga could really bring the King squid away, then it would be too worthwhile. King squid was a carnivorous marine animal, so where he was present, the other marine organisms did not dare to approach him.

If he wanted to fish, he would have to run a hundred miles away to be able to fish. If the King squid could leave, then as long as they were at their doorsteps, they could start fishing. The rate at which their race multiplied would greatly increase!

Looking at the excited clan leader on the other side, Soga couldn't help but laugh sinisterly. Towards such an ignorant race, Soga didn't want to interfere too much, if just doing this would allow Soga to obtain such an outstanding talent, Soga definitely wouldn't mind.

From the girl in white, what Soga felt was incomparable pious and pure soul. From the girl in white, Soga found out that this clan was a royal clan, with males as their heaven, women did not need to work, and even being near ships was considered bad luck.

In the clan, women had no status. Other than taking care of household ch.o.r.es, there were no other jobs. Only men could go out and fish, taking charge of the family's expenses.

If they gave birth to boys, they would have to learn to swim from an early age and catch shrimp. If they were older, they would have to go fishing with their father.

If they gave birth to girls, then these girls would be gathered together for unified management. Every time the fishermen went out to sea to fish, they would have to hand over half of their harvest to nurture these girls into adulthood.

From the age of two to three, these girls would be instilled with ideas, such as authority, chast.i.ty, the responsibilities of the Holy Maiden, sacrifice for their race … As they grew older, these girls would gradually become brainwashed. When the time came for clan to use them, even if they had to sacrifice their lives, they would not hesitate, and would instead feel an unparalleled glory.

This kind of life would continue until they were eighteen. If they weren't selected as Holy Maiden at that age, they would marry those young men from the clan under the arrangements of their elders.

It could be said that there would always be only one Holy Maiden of each age group, and they would also be the most beautiful one. The existing three Holy Maiden s were respectively 16, 17, and 18 years old, and the Holy Maiden in Soga's embrace was 18 years old.

The reason why he repeatedly emphasized on the word 'prettiest' was because the looks of girls with water attributes were always proportional to their looks. The most beautiful was because the ones with the highest talent would never make mistakes.

As the village was built right by the sea, it was not long before the other two Holy Maiden s were brought over. Looking at them, the two girls were also dressed in white, looking dignified and holy.

Seeing the two girls who had arrived, Soga's eyes lit up with excitement. He quickly released his spirit and quickly probed inside, what made Soga excited was that although these two girls hadn't reached the realm of Great Magi, one was a Great magician, and the other was a Wizard, so they weren't considered that bad. If things continued like this, by the time they turned eighteen, they would definitely be able to become a Magician.

Looking at the three Holy Maiden s, Soga was simply envious to death. The characteristic of these girls was that they did not have any stage, because their bodies were pure water, becoming one with the Water element, so as long as their magic power and spirit reached the required level, they could enter the next level. Unlike Soga, whose magic power had obviously reached the level of the Great Magister, they were still stuck at the level of the Great Magi, unable to break through no matter what.

Just as Soga was deep in thought, the elder opposite of him smiled and said: "About this … Before we leave, I wonder if it is possible to let the Holy Maiden s meet up with their parents and have them bid their farewells? "

Hearing clan leader's words, Soga nodded his head without hesitation. Even if clan leader did not request for them to leave, Soga would definitely give them a chance to leave.

Seeing that Soga had agreed, the clan leader's eyes lit up, and hastily waved for the three Holy Maiden s to follow him. Under Soga's attentive gaze, the three girls slowly followed the clan leader out of the cliff.

Along the way, clan leader brought the three Holy Maiden s to a quiet corner and suddenly stopped. He majestically turned his head around and spoke to the three girls: "Alright, time is limited, I won't say anymore. There are a few things that you must remember, you must not forget, this concerns the life and death of our clan!"

Upon hearing the two words "clan", the three girls' expressions immediately became even more holy, their eyes shooting out a look of pity. For the clan, no matter how much of a sacrifice they had to make, they would willingly do it.

Looking at the gazes of the three girls, clan leader couldn't help but sigh. Although he couldn't bear to, in order to reproduce, he had to make some sacrifices. Everything they did, would be recorded in the history books of clan forever.

After thinking for a while, the clan leader said in a low voice, "You all have also seen that the owner of the Ocean King is actually a human being, and could even be a general under the Sea G.o.d. So …"

Speaking to here, the clan leader said excitedly: "You must remember, no matter what, you must not anger him, regardless of what request he has, you must do your best to satisfy him, his needs, are your needs, his desires, are your desires, and you must not have the slightest bit of hesitation, otherwise, if you anger him, not only will you die, our entire clan will be exterminated because of him!"
