Defying the Fate of Beheading

Chapter 221: A Glimpse of Lust Through the Ages_2


Although Merlin did not understand the exact meaning of the term "mouth," he could vaguely imagine its connotation.

He chuckled and said:

"You've certainly got a way with women. Even in our time, male elves rarely earn the favor of female elves stronger than themselves."

Louis frowned:

"Mentor, have you misunderstood something? I am innocent with her."

Merlin didn't say anything but just laughed.

He laughed until Louis's expression changed slightly, then he said:

"In our Elf Race, the last person who claimed innocence ended up having five children."

Louis: ...

What else could he say?

He could only say one thing, "Six."

"For your Elf Race, having five children between an elf couple isn't easy, is it?"

Merlin nodded and said:

"That's right. Given the reproductive rate of the Elf Race, normally it wouldn't be possible to have five children even over a thousand years."

"Of course, it's not that it would truly take so long, but mainly because the Elf Race's concept of marriage does not place as much interest in childbirth as your humans."

Louis nodded.

The various texts he read indicated that after having the first child, elves lose interest in having more, dropping to an incredibly low level.

Having five, that probability is indeed extraordinarily low.

Louis suddenly thought of something and said:

"The house prices for your Elf Race aren't cheap, right?"

Upon hearing this, Merlin's face darkened.

After all, judging by the price of land, elf houses aren't actually that expensive.

But the primary deity of elves holds an artistic divinity.

This shapes the entire elven race to pursue art far beyond ordinary races.

And art, well, requires money.

In the Elf Race, most elves can afford a home in a tree hollow.

After all, their population allows for vast lands with sparse inhabitants.

But to decorate the tree hollow home with enough artistic flair...

That expenditure is not a small figure.

So while the marriage rate is high among elves, the fertility rate... that's understood by those who know.

The price of a standard, artistically rich tree hollow home isn't ordinary high.

It's been like that since Merlin's time.

And in this era, it's even more severe.

That's why some slave-catching teams prefer to target solitary elf villages.

The generally well-looking elves can be sold for higher prices, for one thing.

And also to plunder a batch of expensive artworks for resale, another thing entirely.

This bonus of exploding gold coins can really be addictive.

"Alright, no need to bring up such sad things."

Merlin was probably reminded of certain pain elven issues that were untouchable, so he changed the subject with a dark face.

He decided that when giving this kid combat training later, he would increase the intensity severely to show him the divergence of minds!

However, he hadn't directly mentioned a few things.

He thought Louis might, in the future, fall into another type of trouble.

In his many years of experience, he'd never heard of a male enchanting demon hybrid with just one woman.

Extremes often mean excess.

Enchanted demons are the embodiment of allure, their fervor in certain matters surpassing ordinary people, and is extremely extreme.

They mainly use whips as weapons.

Well, partly because they are skilled at using this weapon; the other reason is that this weapon has special uses at other times.

And male enchanting demons are species that simply cannot exist in nature.

In this world, only male enchanting demon hybrids exist.

And normally, regardless of whether either parent is an enchanting demon, the offspring would only be regular enchanting demons (female).

So male enchanting demon hybrids, nearly without exception, are "experimental products."

By natural reproduction, in tens of thousands of enchanting demon hybrids, having one male enchanting demon tops it off.

Perhaps because such extreme individuals were too rare, almost every male enchanting demon had far more demand for "that thing" than regular enchanting demons.

Thinking of this, Merlin glanced at Louis and said:

"Remember to prepare treatment when you and your future partner need conjugal rites."

Louis: ???

Mentor, are you acting coquettish?

Seeing Louis seemingly unaware of the severity of the problem, Merlin said seriously:

"I'm not joking with you. This matter is important; carelessness can seriously injure your other half."

"Your bloodline's yearning for such matters is far greater than ordinary people."

"You can resist temptation now, one because your will is indeed strong and you love your fiancée, the other... you probably haven't really broken vows yet."

Merlin's words made Louis's face redden slightly.

But Merlin sighed and said:

"Do you know how many partners hybrid enchanting demons like you have when they go crazy in history?"

With Merlin saying this, Louis really got curious.

"How many could they have."

Merlin said: "Why don't you guess first."

Louis thought for a moment, patted his head, and said:

"Three thousand?"

Merlin shook his head:

"Wrong, it's a small country, the whole country is female, all serving one person because they simply couldn't control it."

"Are you joking?" Louis was astonished.

A literal Son-in-law of the Daughter Country!

Won't this worry about being hacked to death?

Merlin gazed meaningfully at Louis and said:

"No need to be surprised; the one who did this was a great sin in history."

Louis instinctively said: "The great sin of Lust?"

Merlin nodded.

Louis clapped his hand.

Well, it matched his understanding of the great sin of Lust perfectly.

Merlin said faintly:

"And there's another thing; do you know most of the great sins of Lust in history have been of your race?"

Louis: ???

Merlin: "Oh no, excluding enchanting demons, many Lusts throughout history have been of the dragon race, you..."

Louis: "Cough, cough, cough..."

The Sin Dragon Armor harmonizing perfectly with Louis, in a sense, he is indeed a dragon.

Merlin couldn't help but sigh even more.

Louis's expression began to become reluctant:

"Finish your speech, Mentor!"

Merlin gazed at Louis strangely and said:

"Among Lusts throughout history, which is the strongest, we'll leave that unsaid; but if we talk about the most insane, it's certainly the Mind Flayer Lust."

Louis tentatively said: "Surely it's because the nature of Mind Flayers is inherently insane!"

Mind Flayers, also known as Heart Stealers.

They are a race that can dominate human minds.

So far, there are still many advocating to cast Heart Stealers into the realm of demons.

Because the means this race uses to dominate others' minds are too evil.

No one can tolerate having their memories, emotions, or even souls controlled by others.

Heart Stealers interfere with all three.

Merlin said coldly:

"You might have guessed; it's not because those Lusts are Heart Stealers, but because Heart Stealers produce Soul Mages in abundance."

Yes.

The reputation of Soul Mages is always bad, with Heart Stealers at least accounting for half of the blame.

Because the probability of Soul Mages arising in Heart Stealers is exceedingly high.

Louis cautiously glanced at Merlin:

"My Soul Mage is entirely a cobbled-together assortment, completely different from genuine Soul Mages, Mentor."

Merlin: "The probability of the extraordinary profession of Soul Mage appearing is random; why do you think the probability is high among Heart Stealers?"

Louis almost cried out: "Don't tell me they're cobbled together too?"

Merlin's mouth slightly smiled: "Yes."

Louis struggled a bit:

"But Heart Stealers have completely different aesthetic senses compared to other races."

Merlin finally couldn't help laughing wildly.

Leaving Louis bewildered.

After quite a while, Merlin said:

"Historically, Heart Stealer Lusts, by implanting their consciousness, turned entire nations, regardless of gender, age, or race, into replicas of their consciousness."

"Then the entire nation had no elderly; once they lost that function, they were immediately executed, making room for newcomers."

"This continued for nearly a hundred years, with the number of Lust replicas peaking over a hundred million."

"Later, the God of Love Church found something off and split the entire nation into a semi-plane, halting further spread."

Louis was shocked.

What transformation of self!

Whether the great sin of Lust is strong, let's put that aside.

This playstyle is truly unheard of!
