Chapter 354: Who’s Crazier? (7)
Extracting information from the Demon Capital tamer only took ten minutes. In the end, however, Keter obtained nothing satisfactory. It wasn’t that the tamer knew nothing; the problem was that he knew too much.
“When you wake each morning, you must bow toward the north, where Crown Prince Rukan resides, and shout ‘Long live the Crown Prince!’ seven times. Only with such loyalty will the monsters obey.”
“This flute is made from my finger bones. Unless it is fed fresh blood every day, the monsters cannot be controlled.”
“It is only considered complete after feeding pregnant women, children, and one’s own family to the monsters.”
There were nearly a hundred such requirements for taming monsters, and the tamer believed every one of them. But to Keter, none of those methods had anything to do with controlling monsters.
Demon Capital creatures weren’t beasts. Some were more intelligent than humans. If such lunatic cult rituals could control them, a monster cult would have flourished long ago.
In short, capturing more tamers and extracting information from them was meaningless. That was Keter’s conclusion.
As expected of the Godfather. If captured tamers spread this misinformation, it creates confusion, and if people attempt these methods, it damages public trust. Two birds with one stone.
As such, he didn’t know how Rukan was controlling the monsters. That was when Keter realized the premise itself was wrong.
“It’s probably a contract, not control.”
Once he shifted perspective, the answer was easy to infer.
“This means there’s no real way to stop them.”
