Chapter 562 The Bizarre Adventure of Gargas
‘It can’t be such a coincidence. '
Looking at the two pieces of equipment that looked so familiar, Nohill instinctively couldn't believe that there was such a coincidence in the world, but until he actually touched it, the equipment appeared on the panel. The name directly broke his luck.
‘[Dark Hell Armor] and [Soul Capturing Gloves], aren’t these two items from Raphael’s collection? '
Nohir glanced at the display on the panel again uncertainly, and then showed an even more ghostly expression. Yes, there is absolutely no mistake. It's not that he is dazzled, and the panel will never show errors. My memory is absolutely correct. These two pieces of equipment are definitely weapons and equipment that can only be collected from Raphael's house by successfully defeating him in the game!
And that is to say! The former palace of Gargas is actually Raphael's current County of Hope? !
'Wait, I remember Gargas said before that in hell, if a superior devil disappears or falls, all his assets will be plundered or replaced by those who come after him. Distribution among powerful devils. Considering that Gargas was sealed within this thousand years, and Raphael seemed to have only succeeded in rising in the past thousand years, it seems that the life situations between the two can indeed be connected. Yes, Raphael's father, the great devil Mephistopheles, is also capable of helping his son compete for this inheritance easily. ’
If the truth is really like this, then this coincidence can be explained. Although it is really a bit unbelievable, all of this is really just a coincidence.
However - although the question about coincidence has been explained, Nohir still doesn't understand what is the reason that made Gargoth make the decision to loot Raphael's treasure house An empty act?
To please yourself? It's possible, but Nohir doesn't believe that this guy's purpose is so simple. Something else must have happened to make Gargas do such a redundant behavior.
"My master, your expression seems a little strange. Did I do something wrong?"
Jagos noticed from the side that there was something wrong with Nohir's expression, so he immediately used a cautious He asked Nohir cautiously.
“No, there is nothing wrong. These things you brought are indeed a considerable amount of wealth, including two rare treasures such as legendary equipment, so in fact, I am actually very satisfied with your Tribute."
"Then...why?"
"You want to ask why my expression becomes so strange? I can answer your question, and the answer is actually very simple. , because I know the unlucky guy who was robbed by you, and I know the devil named Raphael.”
Almost as soon as Nohir finished speaking, Jaggers's body immediately stiffened. All kinds of associations crazily emerged in his mind. His heart became extremely flustered for a while, but in the end, Gargas managed to force himself to calm down, and then said to Nohir in a stuttering voice.
"That's it! Ha! Haha! There is such a coincidence in this world! No...but, my master, am I..."
" Don't worry, Gargas, if you know my temper, you will understand that I am definitely not friendly to the devil race. Except for a few rare cases, as long as I meet other devils for the first time, then I will never see you again."
Does it mean that I am that very special person? Except for me, all the other unlucky ones died after meeting? Gargas secretly emptied his stomach in his heart, but he did not dare to say his thoughts out of his mouth, because that would probably cause Nohir to throw himself out of those very few cases.
But no matter what, after hearing Nohir's explanation, Gargas did let out a sigh of relief. He didn't want to flatter the horse's legs. If he wanted to flatter him this time, This kind of tribute actually aroused Nohir's dissatisfaction, and even directly caused him to be killed. Then his fate would become funny and full of black and cold humor.
"That's really great..."
"But, Gargas, actually I still have a question in my mind. I want to know why you do such a thankless thing? I remember that I Before, I just asked you to retrieve the alchemy raw materials that need to be used. Obviously, just retrieving those raw materials is enough. This is the "task" I gave you, but why do you want to do anything other than the task during the task? What's going on?"
"My purpose, of course, is to show my sincerity! The reason why I did this is to completely separate myself from my past self, and to show that I will never be the same again. Completely surrender to your hands..."
"I believe you, Gargas, I believe what you said is absolutely true, but I also know that it is just to please me, and it is definitely not supporting you. All the reasons for doing this, what else are you hiding from me, right, Gargas?"
"..."
Gargas was silent, because what Nohir said was indeed true. He ransacked Raphael's treasure house not just to please Nohir. The result of pleasing Nohir was just incidental and supported Gargas. There is indeed another reason for doing this, but this reason...
'What...what should I do? ! Isn’t this guy’s intuition too keen? He was so naturally suspicious of my motives! Ah, that's not good. This is really not good. Does he think I'm plotting rebellion? Would he think that the reason why I ransacked that place was to attract the attention of other devils in some way that he didn't know, or to use some riddle to secretly send signals to other devils? Today, when he has something to hide, in this situation, it is probably normal for him to have such suspicions, but the problem is, I really don't have this idea! ’ ‘The hell contract is very strict, and now I have put all my property and life in his hands. It is impossible for me to betray him, but how can I explain it? Could it be that I just told him directly that the most important reason why I ransacked that place was not to dedicate these treasures to you and to please you. The reason why I did this was just to get revenge on that person for blaspheming me. The bastard who once stayed in the palace! '
Jagos's mind became even more painful. For a moment, he even began to regret that he had looted Raphael's treasure house, but as long as Jagos thought about it, After he returned to his former palace with high spirits, all the regrets he saw in that palace disappeared in an instant.
His thoughts could not help but go back to a few hours ago. When Gargas returned to his luxurious palace with the light generated by the last transmission, the first thing he felt was That kind of depravity and despair, looking around, the whole palace is full of wailing and desperate souls, the undead souls who are numb at work, and countless people who have lost their souls long ago, leaving only a soulless body and eternal... A "debtor" who is unable to pay off his debt and is burdened with debt.
For a real devil, this scene is no different from them and "heaven". The painful wail of the soul is the most beautiful poetry, and the face of despair of the body is the most joyful performance. Everything here seems to be better than him. When he was still there, it was even more "beautiful", and he enjoyed the elegant atmosphere extremely.
For a moment, Gargas even felt that the guy who took away his palace did not insult the reputation of his former master, although he was still very unhappy that his former palace was now occupied by others. But with Gagas in such a miserable situation now, he has lost his freedom and cannot survive in hell, and it is impossible for him to regain his palace.
So despite all his reluctance, Gargas sighed resignedly, and then carried out the task assigned to him by Nohir. With the great devil's ability and ability, as the former master, he Knowing the secret door of the palace, he quickly got what he wanted, and then left here and returned to the arsenal.
But I don’t know why, maybe because of longing, or other inexplicable emotions, Jaggas finally decided to take a walk around his former palace before leaving to see what it has become now. What it looked like, but at the time, Gargas did not expect how regretful and angry this sudden decision would make him later.
What made him angry at first was the decorations that could be seen everywhere in the palace. At that time, Gargas did not know the name of the current owner or what he looked like, but the guy with no taste at all His palace had been renovated beyond recognition. The entire palace was filled with portraits and statues of the narcissist, making it difficult for Gargas to recognize him.
And if that's all, after all, these big devils are more or less narcissistic. Although this guy named Raphael exaggerated a bit, not only did he destroy the statue of the former owner of this palace, that is, himself. He even filled the entire palace with his portraits and statues, but Gargas could still understand.
But after that, when Gargas continued to wander around the palace, he actually discovered a mortal bound by the chains of hell deep in the dungeon at the bottom of the palace! He couldn't bear this anymore!
As a pure devil, Gargas has always regarded himself as the top of the world, and regards all things weaker than him as inferior species, maintaining the arrogance of being a devil alone. He looked down upon every common thing as an equal, but what did he see now? An ordinary mortal, a remnant that could be crushed to death with one little finger, was actually tied up with the highest-grade hell chains? Even keeping a beholder around as a watcher?
Oh my god, how incompetent is the ruler here that he would use so many things to tie up a crazy mortal here? Is it possible that he can't even deal with such a weak remnant? If not, how boring would he be to waste such precious resources in this place?
As an abyss fiend who has experienced countless bloody battles in the abyss, crawled out of the devil's corpse, and finally rose to a high position, Gargas is completely unable to understand Raphael's behavior. ! He just felt that placing such a weak guy here in such a high-level way was a complete waste of resources and a desecration of his palace!
You must know that before he was sealed, the monsters he imprisoned in this dungeon were high-level demons like the six-armed snake demon. He had not even imprisoned the Balor Fire Demon before. But now - a mortal? Gargoth himself almost laughed in anger.
He almost instinctively wanted to raise his hand and slap that fragile mortal into a pulp, but at that moment, Gargas suddenly remembered the agreement he signed with Nohir. Hell contract.
After the contract was signed, Nohir directly restricted him with the contract, so that Gargas could never take the initiative to attack any mortal. Even if he was attacked by a mortal, his priority was to be designated Retreat, the pair cannot actively harm anyone. Even when encountering others in need of help, Gargas cannot pretend that he has not seen it. Even if there is no direct order from Nohir at the scene, he must do his best to help the people in difficulty get out of trouble. .
After thinking of this, Jagas' mood instantly became worse. Looking at the mortal hanging in front of him by the chains of hell, Jagas had no choice but to do it under the last resort. , used thunderous means to instantly kill the beholder guards present, and then used hell magic to actively unlock the chains of hell.
Then he opened a portal to the main material plane directly on the spot, transformed himself into a mortal adventurer, and helped the tortured and insane poor man into Ilmet. After making sure that she would receive proper treatment, she sneaked out of the temple, found a deserted place, opened a portal and returned to the County of Hope.
Then he came back this time simply because he wanted revenge, because Gargas had just violated his devil nature under the constraints of the hell contract and rescued a mortal. For a hell devil with pure blood, this If this kind of behavior were introduced into a mortal, it would be as uncomfortable as forcing him to eat a piece of shit alive.
So he had to find someone to vent his shame and anger, and Raphael was the target of revenge he chose, or so Gargas thought.
If Raphael, that bastard, hadn't hung up a mortal in the dungeon, he wouldn't have met her in the dungeon, and he wouldn't have violated his devilish nature under the constraints of the hell contract to save him. He was dead, so to sum up, he had to give Raphael a good beating to relieve his hatred.
With this idea in mind, Gargas quickly found the location of Raphael, which was his palace, and then he saw an even more shocking scene.
A male sex demon who looked exactly like Raphael was wearing a leather jacket that was very sparse, with almost only strips of leather remaining, and was fucking Raphael's own demon crazily on the bed.
It's so pitiful that Gargas thought he had been used to torture in hell, but even he couldn't accept the scene that happened in front of him. Gargas wanted to poke his eyes out on the spot. In fact, he did so later. But maybe it was because of perseverance. All in all, after Jaggas stabbed himself in the eyes, he suddenly burst out with greater fighting power, so in the end, he succeeded in a perfect way that no one discovered. By sneaking in, he obtained the gold and silver treasures and magic equipment in front of him.
At this moment, after listening to Jaggers’ inner voice, Nohir became rarely silent.
Originally, there must be a deeper reason why he thought that Gargas would behave like this. The biggest factor was that from the perspective of a great devil, such a flattery The behavior was a bit too shameful, and surrendering so quickly was not something a former demigod devil would do, but now.
