Chapter 391: Arriving in Hell (a 10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)
There is no doubt that the King's Landing Tourney is regarded by the players as a stage specially set up for them to show their strength.
In just two or three days, the natives who had come all the way from all corners of Westeros to become famous were mercilessly eliminated by the fierce players.
Among them, the more dangerous jousting and team competitions, a large number of injuries and bloody deaths are staged almost every day.
Especially elite players with higher levels have often begun to master skills such as cleave, mastered heavy attack, mastered shield attack, combat reflexes, jump attack and various weapon specializations.
Even unedged iron or wooden weapons can exert unimaginable lethality in their hands.
Some unlucky guys even had their eyes inserted directly through the slits in their helmets, and then screamed and died on the spot.
You must know that players have no mercy.
Ever since they learned that the game mechanism is "kill monsters and upgrade", when they saw ants while walking, they wanted to step on them to see if the experience card slot would increase a little.
What’s even more terrifying is that since players came to King’s Landing in large numbers, the rats that were originally infested were killed and almost disappeared in a very short period of time.
Just because some guy figured out that killing rats gives you a very small amount of experience points.
The mice were in such a miserable condition, not to mention other animals, that basically there was no grass growing anywhere they passed.
The gangs in the city that were originally composed of local hooligans and had a mafia-like nature originally wanted to extort a sum of money from these outsiders.
As a result, they just provoked a team of players, injured and killed several of their members, and were besieged by hundreds of players that night.
The blood-curdling screams, wails, and pleas for mercy lasted the whole night.
The next morning, the people living around and the golden robes who came to clean up the mess were shocked by the cruel and violent scene they saw. Many people covered their mouths and began to vomit.
The leaders of this group were all impaled with slender wooden stakes and hung in the most conspicuous place at the door.
There is basically not much intact skin left on their bodies, and the bloody scene and the traces left by a large number of tortures can make people have nightmares for several months.
The most craziest thing is that these poor people who have been tortured all night are still alive. The wooden stake inserted from the lower body almost avoided all the vital points, and the assailant is suspected to have stopped the bleeding and bandaged them. and some kind of healing (magic).
Anyone who is not a fool can see that the reason why they are allowed to live is to let them taste more pain before death as revenge.
Obviously, the players made such a move to vent their anger.
The reason is also very simple. After they die, they will be resurrected in the Floating City of Plantia.
After resurrection, there is no way to come to King's Landing immediately. Instead, he has to set out from Pentos on the other side of the sea, and he doesn't even have a single self-defense weapon or equipment before returning to the team.
With no choice, we can only contact the player teams who stayed in Pantos, borrow some money and equipment from them, and then take a merchant ship to King's Landing.
The time, energy, money spent and favors owed all this time are huge.
Therefore, the players in King's Landing City discussed it and immediately decided to kill the chickens and scare the monkeys, and give these gangs who do not know life or death a bit of shame.
So, in the next few days, they continued to take the initiative and uprooted almost all the gangsters and gangs in the city, killing more than a thousand people in one go.
This directly caused the security situation in King's Landing, which was originally chaotic and crime-prone, to rise several notches in an instant.
Of course, such unscrupulous killing by players has naturally caused dissatisfaction among many vested interest groups.
Especially the Golden Robe, which has close ties with gang forces and even serves as its protective umbrella. At the beginning, he wanted to deal a thunderous blow to this group of outsiders.
But soon, Janos Slynt, the supreme commander of this army, changed his attitude and strictly prohibited his subordinates from making any malicious actions against the players.
As for the reason...
Of course when he got up one morning, he found the bloody head of his most beloved war horse on the bedside. He was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. .
And I suffered from severe insomnia for two consecutive weeks. I couldn't sleep well at all. I often dreamed of being killed quietly.
You don’t need to ask to know that the player who did this must be a "Godfather" fan.
After cleaning up the original gang forces in King's Landing, a guy named Nex who had been a part of the modern gangsters saw the opportunity and took the initiative to stand up and unite about three mages, five bards, fifteen warriors, and more than thirty Several thieves formed a guild called "Shadow", and quickly filled the power vacuum caused by previous killings through threats, intimidation, assassination, bribery and other means.
Not only that!
The players headed by him gave up their original idea of becoming mercenaries and began to develop in another direction.
With the cooperation of a large number of thieves and a small number of mages and bards, they quickly found out many rumors, secrets and private conversations of nobles, and sorted them out and sold them to other players at high prices. Or local indigenous people.
Both Varys and Petyr Baelish were highly vigilant about this sudden appearance of an intelligence organization.
But unfortunately, these two conspirators seriously lack the force at hand and are no match for the ruthless players.
After just a few rounds of fighting, the players have captured all the "little birds" of the Octopus Spider, and most of them quickly chose to be their new "masters" under coercion and inducement. "Effectiveness.
As for the brothels and prostitutes controlled by Littlefinger, their business has also plummeted due to the players' dimensionality reduction.
After all, compared with the various temptations, performances and ways of playing in modern society on earth, the pornographic service industry in this world is still too primitive and too backward.
In addition to opening casinos, taverns, hotels and sex service venues, this group of players has also branched out into smuggling, which is extremely profitable and risky.
Unlike those "traditional gangs" that traditionally exploit outsiders and poor people to extract money, they can be said to be very good to the poor within their control.
Not only will we take the initiative to maintain order and combat violent crimes and petty theft, we will also provide jobs for the people at the bottom, repair their houses, and give the elderly and children who are unable to work a meal a day. But it’s a free meal that can satisfy your hunger.
This move undoubtedly won the support of the poor at the bottom of society. They even regarded him as a savior and felt grateful. He did his best to provide him with some news that he knew, and spread it on the streets as an informant. Alley.
King Robert and Prime Minister Ned may not necessarily know about any trouble in King's Landing, but Shadow is definitely aware of it.
With a modern management model, Shadow can accurately count the number of ships docking at the port every day, the number of crew members, where they come from, what kind of goods they bring, how much they sell for, and what they bought before leaving. What kind of goods, as well as changes in the prices of various commodities on the market, etc.
If they wish, they can also control prices to a certain extent so that a certain ship can't sell anything here and can't buy supplies.
When those traders encounter trouble, they will immediately go to the leaders of the "shadow" organization and ask them to bring justice to them, instead of those who are extremely corrupt and have long been rotten from the root. golden robe.
Countless people are proud to kiss the red magic ring on Nex's hand, viewing it as a symbol of social status.
Gradually, this Shadow Guild, established by players and serving as the core backbone, became a veritable huge shadow hanging over the entire King's Landing.
Even when the Golden Robes search for wanted criminals, they must first ask the Shadow Guild for instructions, otherwise their people will disappear inexplicably soon after entering a street.
There are also nursery rhymes circulating that the king sitting on the Iron Throne is just a puppet and Nex is the real master of King's Landing.
The diary responsible for monitoring player behavior in this world, after reading the rapid rise of the Shadow Guild from beginning to end, couldn't help but sigh: "They are indeed special talents selected after strict screening, but It’s really a comparison of punishment. Isadora, this guy named Nex is not a serious criminal who died under shooting?”
“No, it was not the thing that caused his death. A gun, but an electric chair. By the way, when he was sentenced to death, he had forty confirmed first-degree murders, more than a hundred unconfirmed murders, fifteen bank robberies, and hundreds of home invasions. He was charged with theft, illegal operation of brothels and underground casinos, and the number of gang members under his control reached more than 1,500. "
The mastermind Isadora directly reported the player's life history through psychic powers. "Brilliant" record.
“What?! How was this scum chosen?”
The diary was stunned for a moment.
He simply couldn't believe that Zuo Si, who had always hated violent crimes, would actually allow the soul of such a person to enter the player group.
Mastermind Isadora answered without thinking: "The criteria for being selected have nothing to do with good or evil. They are mainly judged by ability and whether they tend to be lawful.
Nex Although he did all kinds of evil, the people who died at his hands were basically drug dealers, gang members, policemen who collected money, and killers.
And his abilities were outstanding, and he was extremely strict in managing his subordinates and strictly prohibited them. Harassing ordinary civilians shows a strong sense of lawfulness
So it’s not a big surprise that he ended up being picked.
There are many similar special talents in the player group, and they will show their unique talents as long as they have the opportunity. "
"Okay, now I finally know why these guys have no psychological barriers at all when they are killing and torturing their enemies.
It turns out that it is not entirely the result of the weakening of pain and nerve stimulation, but also partly because they have long been accustomed to all this.
If you don’t mind, can you tell me how high the proportion of such ruthless people among the player base is? ”
Diary touched his chin and asked with interest.
“Among the current player base, people like Nex account for almost one-fifth of the total, and most of them suffer from battlefield syndrome, especially those who are crazy about fighting and killing. The proportion of addicted soldiers or mercenaries is less than half. According to Soth’s plan, the proportion of ordinary people will gradually increase.”
The mastermind Isadora did not think twice. The answer was given.
As more and more new mind flayers donate their brains, her psychic abilities are increasing at an unimaginable rate.
Now it is even possible to directly delete the brains of tens of thousands of intelligent beings, turning them into a walking zombie with no memory, no personality, and no subjective consciousness.
As for the number of connected players, it has also been increased to more than 100,000.
There is no doubt that the current mastermind Isadora has far surpassed most of the mind flayer masterminds in Faerun in terms of power level.
Especially by spreading out her consciousness, processing information sent back by thousands of players at the same time, and maintaining the operation of two virtual worlds, she took a completely different path in the development of psychic powers. Different paths.
"The proportion of normal people is less than half? Oh my God! It seems that I have to observe a moment of silence for the indigenous people of this world, especially the nobles and slave owners."
Diary Ben couldn't help but hold his forehead, as if he had seen the horrific scene of killing heads and rivers of blood.
He has no doubt that players have the power to completely destroy the existing order of the world.
Because they have immortality and professional levels, they have now shown overwhelming power.
The Shadow Guild founded by Nex, the noble knights who were beaten to the point of discarding their armor in the tourney, and those who treat the Red Castle where the royal family lives as a public toilet and come and leave as they please. The thieves all prove this point.
What’s even worse is that this advantage will become bigger and bigger as the kills and levels increase.
When a certain critical point is exceeded, the entire world may be completely destroyed, or it may be forcibly turned into a colony that provides unlimited resources.
"There should indeed be a moment of silence.
Because not long ago, the players in Slaver's Bay had just formed an alliance and started frantically hunting the Unsullied in and around Astapor City.
In just a few days, the number of deaths among the latter reached thousands.
Several good masters (the self-proclaimed slave owners) were also killed in their own homes. >
Now the whole Astapor is in chaos, almost falling into anarchy. ”
The mastermind Isadora reported a big news made by the players in a meaningful tone.
"Hunting the Unsullied? Why! Aren't they planning to liberate the slaves?" The diary raised his eyebrows in disbelief.
Mastermind Isadora responded with a smile: "Because a small group among them discovered that killing the Unsullied who have undergone strict training can get a very high experience bonus.
< br>So we immediately changed our strategy and planned to kill all the Unsullied in the entire Astapor.
Under the various poisonings, assassinations, and surprise attacks by these mad dog players, even if they were killed. The world's most perfect, fearless, and disciplined warrior is now in panic
After all, they may not be afraid of swords, spears, and arrows, but they are in awe of incomprehensible magical powers.
Some businessmen and civilians are even willing to provide information and donate property to them, just to ensure that they will not be implicated.
The team that has killed the most Unsullied people now has an average real level of LV7.
If all the more than 8,000 Unsullied and those soldiers undergoing training are really killed, then their average level will most likely reach around LV12. "
" Massacre the city in order to gain experience points and improve your professional level? This is really a typical behavior pattern of the fourth natural disaster. ”
The corner of Diary's mouth twitched slightly.
At this moment, he realized how terrifying those game operations that he thought were very common would be to the indigenous people if they were moved to reality.
While the two were talking, in a mansion belonging to a benevolent owner in Astapor City, a small group of thirty players had just ended a tragic battle.
Although almost all of them were injured, several of their companions died together with the enemy in the fierce battle. Now they have returned to the floating city of Plantia to be reborn, but the result was that they killed ten times as many people as themselves. The Unsullied.
Right now, hundreds of corpses in this mansion were piled randomly in the open space in the yard, and the blood that flowed out even completely dyed the ground black and red.
A large number of flies and birds descended from the sky, enjoying this feast of nature's gifts.
In contrast, the slaves who originally served their masters were lying on the ground shivering in the most humble posture, not daring to raise their heads to look at these vicious evil stars.
You must know that since the birth of Astapor, such a bad event has never happened.
Even the Unsullied ones they were proud of shrank in front of these few but elite, fierce and life-threatening lunatics.
What is even more incomprehensible to the slaves is that these madmen were obviously seriously injured and some of their companions died, but their faces were filled with joy from the bottom of their hearts, as if they were happy about the battle and the battle. Killing is like a morbid obsession.
"Hahahaha! I really made a lot of money this time! There are more than three hundred Unsullied people, as well as some other mercenaries and guards."
"Yes! If we continue like this, we will take down the entire As If you kill all the Unsullied, Good Lords and mercenaries in Tapo City, you will definitely be able to rise to LV100 (virtual level) or above."
"Not only the professional level, but also the property in this mansion. "
"In my opinion, we can just liberate the slaves. Let's just kill all the cities around Slaver's Bay, like Meereen and Yunkai."
"Don't be ridiculous. We still need to establish rule here, recruit troops, and let the residents here continue to create value. The reason for killing the Unsullied is because they give the most experience points. And they cannot be recruited through normal methods at all, and the training methods are too Those who are anti-human should not exist in this world. Death is not a pain for them, but a relief."
"By the way, what happened to the guys who accidentally died in the battle?"
"They have all been resurrected in the floating city and have now arrived in Pentos through the portal. If nothing unexpected happens , should come on the merchant ship with the brothers who died before."
"OK! Pack up the loot!"
"What about those slaves?" >
"Go and ask them if they are willing to come with us. If they are willing, then take them with you. If not, just stay."
"The businessman who provided the information this time is very good. Remember to give him more benefits."
"Don't worry! When have I ever been stingy in this area? Seriously, don't you think this game is real? Is it too much?"
"Yes! Especially those businessmen, as long as we are willing to give them enough benefits, they don't mind betraying the interests of their city."
"After all, they are. Three hundred years later, with high technology, there are even intelligent bionic robots in Infinite City. It is normal for the NPCs in the game to be smart."
"That's right. I really like this world more and more. ”
...
With the players talking in low voices, the entire mansion was quickly ransacked.
As for the slaves, without exception, they all chose to escape with the murderers who killed their masters.
Because they have no second choice.
If you stay, when other good masters learn about this, they will definitely kill and bury all the surviving slaves. Of course, Zuo Si obviously had no idea about the big commotion caused by the players in the world of Song of Ice and Fire.
He is currently observing the teammates who are about to embark on the journey to the abyss through Davian's eyes, and even directly takes over the latter's body.
"Long time no see, dear Lord Soth. On behalf of the church, I would like to express my deep gratitude for your participation in the rescue operation of the goddess. Here, this thing is [Shadow Energy Core], I think you should You have your own way to carry it.”
The top leader of the Woking Church, Sarangda Olium, pointed to the one with a diameter of about 1.5 meters and floating in the air. black sphere in.
The raw energy inadvertently released from the cracks in the latter, as well as the harsh sounds that erupt in the air from time to time, all prove its danger.
If you look at it purely from its appearance, there is no doubt that it is the power source of the floating city - Mythra's core.
But the difference is that this thing seemed to be broken when it fell from the sky, and it accidentally absorbed the energy of the Shadow Magic Network.
Or maybe the arcanists at that time wanted to transfer the floating city to the shadow plane, but as soon as they completed the connection of the core part, the floating city crashed to the ground.
In order to confirm his conjecture, Zuo Si controlled Davian's body and walked straight to the [Shadow Energy Core], reaching out his hand to touch the cold outer wall.
In an instant!
An astonishing amount of energy surged out of the crack, accompanied by unstable and violent vibrations.
Fortunately, Davian already had a self-combusting spark in his body, so he quickly sucked this energy in, avoiding possible explosions and chaotic magic fluctuations.
Just when Zuo Si was about to take his hand back, he suddenly heard a strange whisper in his ears.
"Kill-kill-kill! Kill everything alive!"
"Darkness will surely come! The world will return to the silence before the resurrection of all things!"
"Energy! Give me your energy! I will suck you dry!"
Because these voices are using an extremely ancient and unfamiliar language, and are extremely vague, mixed with some creepy roars, Therefore, even Zuo Si, who has a rich reserve of knowledge, can only understand a very small part of it.
And he himself didn't notice that when these whispers mixed with energy poured into his body, Davian's right hand was completely wrapped in a black tangible substance, and three pairs of eyes could still be vaguely seen.
One pair is extremely crazy, the other pair reveals coldness and darkness, and the last pair is naked greed.
The terrifying sight immediately aroused the vigilance of the rest of the team.
Xinbu, who was also chosen by the Magic Goddess, suddenly released a ball of silver fire, directly knocking Davian controlled by Zuo Si away from the [Shadow Energy Core], and then asked loudly: "Hey! Are you okay?"
At this moment, Zuo Si finally came back to his senses, looked at his arm that had returned to its original shape, and immediately pretended to be fine and responded: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine, I just have some trouble with this thing. It’s just that you are interested in the huge energy.”
“Are you sure? We just saw several pairs of eyes flashing on your body.”
Xinbu obviously didn’t believe this. .
"Haha, don't worry, it's just a trivial trouble, I can still handle it."
After saying this, Zuo Si ignored the reactions of others, took out his suitcase and stuffed the entire [Shadow Energy Core] inside.
Through the unusual whisper just now, he was basically sure that there must be some secrets that he didn't know hidden inside this energy core.
But now that the journey into the abyss is imminent, it is obviously not the time to go deeper.
So after it was installed, Zuo Si directly used teleportation magic to transfer the box to the Askatra Tower, and then nodded to Sarangda Olium, indicating that he was ready. .
The latter didn't even say a word of nonsense, and immediately asked the high-level mage who spent a lot of money to open a portal to Avernus, the first level of hell.
To be precise, the portal leading to the Bronze Fortress.
This is the front line of the bloody battle, and it is also the place where demon armies and creatures from other planes tending to the lawful camp gather.
It is different from the heavily guarded city that many people imagine. It is closer to an "international" super fortress city.
There are countless portals to other planes here.
The devils use their eloquent sophistry and inflammatory speeches to constantly attract allies to help them join the fight against the devils.
Sarangda O'Reum carefully took out a scroll with an evil aura engraved on it from her arms, handed it to Storm Queen Xinbu, and whispered: "This is what we are trying to do with Bayer, the lord of the first level of hell. The agreement reached by the Grand Duke.
With this agreement, you do not have to fulfill the obligation of bloody battle. You can directly bypass the main battlefield and go to the Wanyuan Plain.
But you still have to be extra careful, because I don't. Determine if there are any unknown secrets, traps, or loopholes that can be exploited.
After arriving at the Bronze Fortress, do not sign any agreement with those devils, let alone join any team. ”< br>
"You see, we are not the rookies who are going to hell for the first time and know what to do. Not to mention... one of us may be more cunning and dangerous than most devils."
While saying this, Xinbu glanced at Zuo Si out of the corner of his eye, and the implication was self-evident.
In this way, except for the half-demon thief who had not yet joined the team, the rest of the team members crossed the portal and arrived at the bronze fortress on the other side.
As the name suggests, this is a super fortress built almost entirely using bronze as the basic material, covering an area of more than one hundred square kilometers.
If you look at it from a high altitude, you can see twelve giant concentric city walls. Each city wall is hundreds of meters high, and there are amazingly powerful war machines on top.
Countless lemures, little devils, and soul shells work as hard workers to build, repair, and maintain it day and night.
The low-level devil legions that were about to be sent to the bloody battlefield, under the control and leadership of the high-level devils, set off from the city gate one after another to join this flesh-and-blood millstone with a horrifyingly low survival rate.
Someone once calculated that out of every 10,000 devils sent to a bloody battle, less than 100 survived the first battle.
The survival rate for the second bloody battle will suddenly drop to five or even less.
So all devils who can survive the cruel and never-ending war will, without exception, be promoted and complete promotions that may take decades or even hundreds of years to get in other jobs.
This is true even for the devils who have always had an advantage in battle damage ratio, not to mention the chaotic devils.
Once on the bloody battlefield, not even the abyss lord can guarantee that he will survive.
With such horrific intensity of war, if it were a mortal race, it would have collapsed long ago.
But for demons and demons, this has become an indispensable part of their lives, as normal as breathing.
The moment everyone set foot on the land of hell, a hell fiend who was recruiting cannon fodder suddenly flew over from a distance and looked at the team members with his playful eyes. After a minute, he said: "Interesting! How interesting! A group of gods' chosen people actually came to the Bronze Fortress. If you don't mind, can you tell me your purpose?"
"We have an agreement with Duke Bayer. , you’d better not make any crooked ideas.”
Xinbu issued a warning while handing over the parchment scroll in his hand.
Although in the eyes of many mortals, top devils like the Hell Fiend are absolutely invincible.
But in front of this team that specially went to the three realms to rescue the goddess of wealth, Wojin, it was just a small trouble at best.
Anyone who stands up can easily play him until he cannot survive or die.
Among them, Quill, the chosen one and legendary warrior of Tempus, the God of War, even unceremoniously pulled out the black two-handed giant sword on his back, his eyes revealing the possibility of a big disaster at any time. A bloodthirsty light that starts killing.
The face of the Hell Fiend changed drastically in an instant, and he immediately called a bunch of low-level devils to stand in front of him. He carefully opened the scroll and read the terms on it word by word.
After reading everything, he immediately pursed his lips with a playful smile, and said in a slightly exaggerated tone: "Ah! It turns out that you are all guests invited by His Excellency Archduke Bayer. Please allow me to I apologize for being rude just now.
However, although this agreement clearly states that you do not have to fulfill your obligation to participate in the bloody battle, it does not mean that you can avoid contributing to the order of the multiverse.
According to the latest Article 453,629 of the Hell Code, which contains the records in Chapter 16 and Section 24, all those who want to use the Bronze Fortress to go to other places , you must do something or complete a task before you can leave freely
So...
I advise you not to resist.
Because this is a bronze castle, even if you are strong enough to kill me and my men, can you still kill the thousands of hell fiends and other high-level devils entrenched here? "
"Damn! I knew that agreement was useless. "
Xinbu couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
"How about leaving it to me to solve it? ”
The muscles all over Quill's body began to tighten and become congested with blood. Some invisible energy was flowing through his body, making his eyes appear blood red.
Just when he was about to rush out, Purple Dragon Knight Bonita stopped him and solemnly warned: "Don't do anything here, otherwise we will be overwhelmed by countless devils. "
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Quil rolled his eyes angrily, but still put away his weapon.
“Of course this situation requires negotiation.”
With that said, Bonita walked to the front of the team and asked the Hell Fiend directly: "What exactly do you want us to do?"
"Haha, of course I am asking you to help deal with a group of people who are southeast of the Bronze Castle. , the demon elites who constantly hunted and destroyed the logistics supply lines.
This group of bastards had killed a total of 1,500 demon reinforcements who came from other places to support the front line.
At the same time, they also destroyed the weapons and armor that could equip an army of 10,000 people.
Duke Beyer just issued a reward order not long ago. Whoever can solve them will be promoted and become the entire army. Head of logistics department
I promise, as long as you kill these damn demons, I will give you a pass. ”
The Hell Fiend calmly offered the conditions.
Obviously, he wanted to use this powerful team in front of him to kill the enemy before other colleagues, and then take everything for himself
Using the authority at hand to coerce outsiders to work for oneself is a very common trick in the internal competition of the devil.
Unfortunately, this hell fiend. Clearly a miscalculation.
Just when Bonita was about to agree, Zuo Si took out the emblem given to him by Asmodeus, the Lord of Hell, from his pocket, waved it in front of this greedy guy, and then asked in a low voice. Said: "I think you should recognize what this is?"
The next second...
The Hell Golem seemed to have been stimulated by something, and immediately began to tremble slightly on the spot. .
Before the others in the team could react to what happened, he knelt down on the ground with a plop and said in an extremely humble and slightly trembling voice: "Hug... I'm sorry, I didn't know. You are here and deserve to die. Please give me another chance, no matter what you ask me to do, just don’t be demoted.” Not only did his reaction confuse the team members, but the demons who gathered around him were also confused about the situation.
But Zuo Si obviously didn't want to explain too much, and just slowly uttered one word from his mouth: "Get out!"
In the end, the former didn't even hesitate, and immediately held his head in his hands like a ball in front of everyone. Just like that, it rolled and disappeared at the end of the street at an extremely fast speed.
When the devils under him saw this, they all turned into birds and beasts and scattered.
After all the demons ran away, the Purple Dragon Knight couldn't help but ask: "What did you show that hell fiend just now to make him so scared?"
"Nothing, just a trivial trick." Zuo Si responded with a smile.
"Zuo Si! Could it be that you signed some agreement with Hell?"
Xinbu was obviously the person who knew Zuo Si best in the team, and he immediately guessed the truth.
"Don't worry..."
Just when Zuo Si was about to explain a little, an oppressive figure suddenly appeared on the street out of thin air.
He is about four meters tall, with dark red skin and hair. He has a pair of huge and backward-curving horns on his forehead. His facial features are quite handsome even by elven standards. He is also wearing a Wearing an extremely luxurious dark red robe, one hand holds a scepter inlaid with a huge ruby.
The moment this figure appeared, all the devils in the entire Bronze Fortress seemed to realize something, and they all knelt on the ground to express the highest degree of respect and obedience to him.
Even Archduke Bayer, the first-level lord who was originally staying in the fortress at the center of the concentric circles, teleported over immediately and knelt down on one knee to kiss the footprints he walked.
You know without asking that this figure is none other than Asmodeus, the undisputed Lord of Hell.
"Soth - I think you owe us all an explanation!"
Xinbu's face was pale at this moment, and there was no trace of blood left.
Although she was impulsive and irritable, she was definitely not a fool. She could tell that the other party was here for the young man next to her.
"Sorry, I may have to excuse myself for a while now, and I will give you a satisfactory explanation later."
After saying this, Zuo Si ignored the people around him who had different reactions. Teammates, walked slowly forward.
The slight footsteps from both sides affected all the creatures in the entire bronze castle.
When they were less than one meter apart, Asmodeus stopped first and asked in a joyful tone: "My young friend, did you come here specifically to sign that agreement? ”
"I may disappoint you. I didn't come to sign the agreement. I just happened to pass by." Zuo Si spread his hands in an innocent manner.
"Oh? Why don't you also sign the agreement? It won't waste much time to go to Nasus, the lowest level of hell, to sign an agreement from here. Believe me, no matter what the purpose of your trip is Whatever, it can better protect your soul," Asmodeus said seductively.
“There are so many people here, I think we should find a place to talk where no one is. In fact, the reason why I was not in a hurry to sign the agreement was because I prepared one for the new level of hell that is about to be added. A special gift, something unheard of and unseen in this universe."
After that, Zuo Si winked at the Lord of Hell.
Asmodeus said nothing, raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
moment!
The two disappeared from the Bronze Fortress without a trace.
"Your Majesty the Grand Duke! Who was...that mortal who was talking to Lord Asmodeus just now?"
A pit fiend got up from the ground and asked cautiously.
“How do I know!”
Bayer glared at the other party angrily, and his heart was filled with anxiety.
Because unlike other level lords, he has maintained the appearance of the Hell Fiend until now, instead of acquiring a unique form.
This means that the will of the plane does not recognize the identity and status of its lord, it is just the result of Asmodeus's forced promotion.
The conversation Zuo Si had with the Lord of Hell just now made him realize that Asmodeus was planning some shocking secrets that he didn't even know about.
What is this secret?
Will it pose a threat to myself?
What was the content of the agreement mentioned in the conversation between the two?
Soon, Bayer turned his attention to Xinbu and his party, and quickly put on a cordial and friendly appearance, indicating that he would host a banquet to entertain these distinguished guests from afar.
Of course, the real purpose is to find out some personal information about Zuo Si.
(End of this chapter)
