Chapter 2 2. You said I was an undercover agent, how could I become a lord?
Looking at the light in the palm of his hand, Xiphiel couldn't help but fantasize about his bright future after "returning undercover":
"When I return to the celestial kingdom of the glorious girl, I will have the opportunity to become the commander of the angel army with my accumulated merits. If I can accumulate more merits in the future, the goddess will promote me to a slave god!"
"I will also get a long paid vacation. At that time, I had to lie down every day to catch up on TV shows and novels, watch group friends blowing off each other in the group every day, watch a lot of videos of little milk cats, and buy a lot of stuff and not play with it. Games, let’s enjoy mobile games again.”
"Well, I want to really go to Blue Star to see it."
"Also, last time a bar friend actually wanted to open my box! I can follow the network cable to his home and greet him."
"······"
At this moment, Xifer's extraordinary sense as an angel and a great devil was slightly touched, and he felt that something was about to appear behind him.
Xiphiel quickly turned over his hands, put away the golden feathers, and turned around.
The next second, a large area of thick shadows gathered on the wasteland in front of Xifeier, gradually condensing into a human shape.
When Xiphiel saw this, his eyes were full of awe. He knelt down on one knee respectfully in front of the shadow figure.
"Syphiel, I have something to ask you."
This large group of shadows is blurry and unreal, with no facial features visible and no identifiable details. The voice is also rough and hoarse, making it impossible to figure out the appearance and gender of the speaker. But there is no devil who is not afraid of him.
Because it is the pinnacle of the devil's rank and order, the Lord of the Nine Hells!
The Lord of the Nine Hells only appears as a vague shadow, and his true form has always been a mystery. Even among the lords of all levels of hell, few have seen the true appearance of this king of hell.
"The Lord of the Nine Hells came to me at this time? Could it be that he found out that I was an undercover agent?" Xiphiel looked respectful on the surface, but in his heart there was a turmoil.
Well, no matter what, I can only pray that the Lord of Nine Hells doesn't notice anything unusual. After the Lord of Nine Hells leaves, I will look for an opportunity to return to the Angel Legion. Xiphiel thought in his heart.
The Lord of Nine Hells slowly approached Xifer, and the voice in the shadow was vague and hoarse:
"Sifer, the lord of the first level of the Nine Hells, the Demon Archduke Bell, has been dismissed by me. As the commander of the Demon Legion on the front line of the bloody battle, he is too weak and mediocre."
Xiphiel didn't know why the Lord of Nine Hells suddenly said this to him. He could only pray that the Lord of the Nine Hells would leave quickly, while complimenting in a flattering tone:
"Wise decision!"
The Lord of Nine Hells paused for a moment, and his hoarse voice lengthened:
"So, Syphiel, the wise and cunning Earl. Which devil do you think is the most suitable to take over Bell's position and serve as the new Grand Duke? Become the leader of the first level of the Nine Hells, the front line of the bloody battle and the entire Nine Hells. Lord of the Prison Border? ”
Xiphiel was startled, and for a moment it was difficult to guess the intention of the Lord of Nine Hells.
Do I have the right to interfere?
Xiphiel thought quickly and briefly weighed the pros and cons.
In the entire "War Wilderness" on the first level of the Nine Hells, there are at least dozens of high-level devils spying on the lord's position. When the old lord steps down, the battle for the new lord's position will inevitably start a bloody storm.
Normally, Xifer would have chosen to be ambiguous so as not to offend any other devils.
But now, he is about to end his undercover career.
How about simply making a suggestion that sounds reasonable and can consume the power of hell as much as possible?
Xifer thought for a moment, raised his head towards the Lord of Nine Hells, and said:
"Siphiel's wisdom and status are not enough to decide on such an important personnel appointment."
"You can just speak out your own suggestions without taking any responsibility for what you say next." The Lord of Nine Hells said.
Xifei nodded gently, with a smile on the young man's face:
"In Siffel's personal opinion, compared to those old fools who have been hanging around in the palace of the Nine Hells for thousands of years, it is better to appoint a devil with a shallow foundation, a younger age, and a lower status to rule the Nine Hells. The new Grand Duke on the first floor.
"Such a new lord lacks supporters, loyal subordinates and allies. Even if he becomes the commander-in-chief of the Devil Legion and has self-respect, he still lacks the ability to rebel."
The shadow symbolizing the Lord of Nine Hells nodded gently, thoughtfully:
"Promote the new generation of devils with shallow foundations?"
Great, the Lord of Nine Hells is actually considering my suggestion!
Xiphiel secretly rejoiced in his heart.
He said this, but what he was thinking in his heart was something else.
His idea is simple: the devil is good at jealousy and lacks loyalty, and subordinates will always harbor evil intentions towards their superiors.
There is no way that a devil who meets the conditions he says can secure his position as a lord while being watched by hundreds of powerful subordinates!
Maybe the new Grand Duke will die of "suicide" within half a year of taking office.
At that time, the position of lord will be vacant again, and the battle for the position of lord can consume as much of the vitality of the Nine Hells as possible.
As for which unlucky devil will be promoted to the new Grand Duke and sit on the hot throne, Xifeier doesn't care. Anyway, by the time this unlucky guy was killed on the lord's throne by his subordinates, Xifer would already be the commander of the Angel Legion.
I'm really sorry, that devil friend who was tricked by me. Syphiel chuckled in his chest.
"That's a very good suggestion. My Xiphiel, you are still as smart and lovable as ever." The Lord of Nine Hells laughed.
"It is my greatest honor to receive your award."
Syphiel saluted again.
He had to work hard not to look like he was smiling.
"Very good, Syphiel!" A vague scepter condensed into the hand of the shadow that symbolized the Lord of Nine Hells.
He gently placed the scepter on Xifer's shoulder, and his solemn and solemn voice echoed in the wilderness:
"From today on, the 48 demon legions in the first level of the Nine Hells, the 'War Wilderness', will obey your orders, the Eight Dark Demons will obey your orders, and the old lord Bell will be your deputy and adviser!
"Syphiel, you are the new lord of the first level of the Nine Hells, the Grand Duke of the War Wilds!" (End of Chapter)
