Chapter Eighty-Seven: Purgatory Contract, Ain's True Purpose

The layout of the Ghost Whispering Hell Tavern is basically the level of a village-level tavern on earth, maybe slightly stronger, but it is also very limited.

But what is certain is that in the human world, even the emperor's banquet cannot invite so many legendary masters and high-level demon hunters.

The stout demon with huge horns, the skeleton mage with the staff, and the half-human, half-lizard monster in the corner, but there was a faint smell of a dragon, and they sat in a pile in this small tavern, breathing the turbid air and drinking the inferior wine.

(The involution is too serious, and it is too difficult for the two realms to communicate between the middle and lower planes, both materially and talented.) Well, of course, too many demons will cause the plane to settle after reaching the middle plane, which is also a very difficult problem to solve. While Shi Yinghu was whispering in his heart, Rose, the brigade mage in front, sealed his hands and cast a spell on everyone.

"Clever words?? Mass. ”

After this spell, everyone around Rose could understand the words of the creatures in the lower planes around him.

After doing this, Rose walked to the long table in the tavern, and said in a deep voice to the mature succubus in front of him, who was charming and charming, but had a slave mark engraved on his forehead and a slave collar on his snow-white slender neck, and said, "We want a guide, and we want to take on the task." ”

"Yes, the guide has a spirit coin, and the task requires fifty blood coins. ”

"How can it be so expensive?"

"It was this price many years ago, you're a new traveling mage, right?"

“...... What's wrong?" the succubus's words made Rose stagnate, and there was a faint sweat on his forehead, but fortunately he was still stable and not too timid.

"It's nothing, it's just that the smell on your body is too immature, do you want to have a drink?Do you want to cover up the smell of young birds on your body?" The succubus's words at the front desk, let the rude laughter and scolding around him, Rose gritted his teeth, and took out a spirit coin and fifty blood coins from the two pockets on his waist respectively, the spirit coins were just that, the fifty blood coins were grabbed by the succubus, and then raised her head and swallowed it, she chewed rattling, and when she wanted to take another handful, Rose held her hand.

"Alright, alright, that's stingy...... Thirty-seven Blood Coins, and you'll have to make up for thirteen. ”

.........After Rose had finally replenished the thirteen Blood Coins, the succubus didn't continue to behave as a demon, she released a small trumpet elf the size of a palm with translucent wings from a small cage next to her, and then took out a dozen dozen leather scrolls from under the counter and threw them in front of Rose.

Experienced travel mages don't want to offend the front desk in these taverns easily, if you give them some benefits, they will take out more quest scrolls on the counter, if you don't let them get benefits, they will take out less quest scrolls on the counter, it's not worth missing a good quest for a little blood coin.

Although the actual combat ability of these succubi and lust demons is very weak, they are the property of the Purgatory Lord, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog, and it is easy to offend the Purgatory Maharaja in the lower plane?

Each of the nine layers of purgatory has several maharajas in charge, and the maharaja of Dispat, if not the strongest of them, is definitely not the weakest of them.

Ninefold Purgatory, in a certain sense, is a real reverse invasion of the lower plane and a successful civilization system, it is rooted in purgatory and has never been destroyed, the abyss is infinitely huge, and the war potential is known as infinite, but the ninefold purgatory is nailed there, although it can no longer continue to expand, but it has never been washed down by the endless tide of demons, some scholars believe that there may be a ninth-order lifeform hidden in the ninefold purgatory, the king of the devil in the true sense, otherwise, it can't be explained.

Rose held those leather scrolls one by one, about this, the other people present could not help him, because the skillful words can make people directly have the ability to communicate, but reading and writing, but still can't do it, although there are clever words after the operation will be much faster.

"This one, this one, and this one, I don't think there's anything wrong with it, everyone also uses their own methods to help check it, the content of the contract content task is secondary, and the most important thing is to check if there are any traps other than the content of the contract content task. Ross, armed with a monocle, found three relatively clean-looking copies of the cortical contract in the large pile and showed them to the others.

"I don't understand, Kate, you're also a mage, take a look at it, don't be fooled by the devil. Muradin, after taking the contract, looked at it twice, and then handed it directly to Shi Yinghu, Ain, Amanda, and Epli are also average, with the IQ of the four of them to break through hell, if there is no Ross and Shi Yinghu to take care of them, after signing the contract, they will be betrayed by the devil from body to soul, which is the only ending.

Of course, if it weren't for Rose and Shi Yinghu, the four of them wouldn't have gone crazy to go to hell.

Purgatory, Shi Yinghu doesn't understand it very well, but fortunately, Ross is a professional in this area, Shi Yinghu just relied on Haotian Law Eyes and Purple Golden Eyes to check whether these three contracts have any traps other than the words themselves.

Many Purgatory Contracts are surrounded by seemingly decorative patterns, and if the person who made them ignores them, then congratulations, after signing the contract, you will find that there are countless more clauses in the contract that did not exist in the first place.

Even if it is written with an invisibility potion, it counts, so when you find that there is a large amount of abnormal white space on the contract, then you must be very careful, such a purgatory contract, absolutely never sign.

Shi Yinghu doesn't understand the language of purgatory, but he still dares to come to the next plane, on the one hand, he has repeatedly tested and tested Ross when he was in the human world, and basically trusts him, and the most important point is that Shi Yinghu himself is an extraordinary essence, even if he is trapped, he has a high chance of breaking free from the spell contract that has an effect on mortal things.

Transcendent gods, demon lords, purgatory lords, fifth-order law bodies, they all signed the Styx contract or a powerful contract of the same level, and the low-level abyss contract and purgatory contract, they could break free at a little price.

"There seems to be a little problem with this one, in my insight, there is a faint blue light on the text, and the other two contracts are not. As he spoke, Shi Yinghu handed over the three purgatory contracts in his hand to Rose.

Rose, who was wearing a monocle, stretched out his hand to take it, and after a while, he scolded in a low voice: "It's too insidious to change words with an invisibility potion." ”

In a large number of contracts, there are only two contracts without hidden traps, but even these two contracts without hidden traps are only because they are urgent and really need someone to do them, not because the devil's conscience finds out.

"Two tasks, clear the River of Fire, hunt the 'betrayer' Murphygar, the previous task is to clear a large number of demons gathered in the River of Fire, the proceeds of the cleanup belong to us, and there is a profit after the task is completed, the latter is a mission with a high return, but to bring back the soul of Murphygar, if it is completed, there is a chance to meet the Lord Dispat, and personally ask for a reward from His Majesty. Let's discuss, which one to do?"

"The task of clearing the River of Flames, a little harder, a little more troublesome, and a little less reward, but at least we have a good chance of being able to complete it, chasing down the legendary devil, it is not difficult to kill, the problem is that we are very difficult to find it. Shi Yinghu was the first to speak, although he came to Hell to do a mission, he still didn't want to face the fifth-order existence, and now he couldn't escape from the fifth-order existence.

"But in the future, we will often come to the next plane, if we can get the approval of Lord Dispat, we will have a much easier road in the future. As for the pursuit, there is nothing that I Ain will hunt and kill, and there is nothing that cannot be chased. ”

Shi Yinghu and Ain's opinions have their own truths, Amanda and Epli of course support their leaders, but it is the professional Ross who speaks here with enough weight, at least Kate, a secondary professional?? Brian.

"Lord Ain's words make sense, but the biggest problem now is that we can't afford to lose, Rose, you don't have much Hell Money left, right?

Shi Yinghu's words gradually strengthened the idea of the traveling mage Rose.

"That's right, we can't afford to lose, and if we fail the first mission, we will have to go to the gladiatorial arena to fight for our lives. In the first mission, the benefits are secondary, and the most important thing is that it must be successful!" Rose said, looking around at the crowd.

The two people with the highest intelligence in the team said this, although Ain was resolute and firm, but he didn't say anything more, although everyone is a legend, but this mission, after all, is in hell, and there is nothing wrong with being cautious.

............

After signing the contract, everyone left the tavern together, not intending to settle in or recuperate more, but to go straight to the task.

Because adaptation and rest cost money, and the current state of the team is: abject poverty!

"Protect me, O you, with the courage to fight for your life, for I am the property of the Lord Lady of Dispart, and if anything happens to me, you will have to pay a lot of money for it!" While flying, the blue-skinned purgatory fairy expanded her hands into a circle and made a "big win" gesture, she is the guide of everyone, although she basically has no combat power, but it is the most important safety guarantee for newcomers when they first enter hell.

It means that if you pay the Maharaja Nachi tax to Maharaja Dispat, you will be eligible to apply for protection from the patrol guards of Devil's Town if necessary. Of course, it's better not to do it, it's expensive.

"You humans, the equipment on your body can easily decay in hell, and among all of you, only this guy is stronger. You hope to live a little longer, I am optimistic about you. The person pointed at by the purgatory fairy was Shi Yinghu, and it seemed that she had not had a chance to speak for a long time since she had been locked up, so whenever she had the opportunity, she chattered endlessly.

"Why do you say that? This fellow's body is not as strong as Muradin's. The dwarf Muradin, who was usually silent, seemed to be surprised to talk to the purgatory elves, so he asked.

"I don't know, but I just know that he's the strongest of you, and that's my intuition, and my intuition is very accurate. Because of the purgatory goblin's words, Shi Yinghu glanced at her more, but he didn't say anything more.

At times like these, it is more wrong to say more.

The Endless Abyss is as big as a cow, and the Ninefold Purgatory is as small as a nail in comparison, but this nail has always been nailed into the Endless Abyss, and it is still unshakable despite thousands of blows. A big reason is that it is a unified whole, and it is a whole with full trade and exchange with the Middle Plane, so to speak, the Nine Infants are taking advantage of the Endless Abyss itself.

If the multiple travelers of the middle plane want to reach the Endless Abyss for various purposes, the safest channel is to use the Ninefold Purgatory as a transit, and smuggling from the lower plane to other mid-plane worlds is often inseparable from the Ninefold Purgatory.

It can be said that the devils of the Nine Layers of Purgatory are borrowing the resource advantages of the Endless Abyss to attract mid-plane talents to fight against the Endless Abyss, and borrowing the talent advantages of the mid-plane to attract demons and hedge against the mid-plane.

After all, it was a powerful legendary team, and with the Purgatory Fairy as a guide, it was not very difficult for the group of six to pass through the Plains of Despair, but everyone also really felt the difference between hell and the human world.

Not only has the strength of the demon itself increased, but also the others have become weaker, and this plus and minus is basically a punishment of strength that is almost downgraded.

Demons are stronger and more ferocious in the lower planes, and have more special powers, while demon hunters in Hell not only have to endure the bewitchment and erosion of the fallen power of the lower planes at all times, but also become less resistant to elemental attacks under the shroud of the will of the plane, the skin becomes as flammable as paper, the cold will penetrate directly into the bones, and when lightning flows through the body, it is like an iron rod flowing through the wasteland in a rainstorm.

It can be said that the strength of almost everyone in the legendary squad has been greatly weakened...... In addition to Shi Yinghu, with the appearance of the monsters on the Plains of Despair, everyone understands more and more why the purgatory goblin is optimistic about Kate, because the necromancer can exert his most powerful power in hell.

Shi Yinghu summoned the steel bones, the white bone slaughterer, the three-headed dog of hell and even the abomination giant Moriarty and the giant king Yum, and found that the basic attributes of these five guys have all received skyrocketing bonuses in the lower plane, not so much that the necromancer can exert his power in hell, but that the necromancer in the material world has always been suppressed by the will of the plane.

(The increase is so high, even the spirituality has been enhanced, life resistance, four-dimensional attributes, not only summoning, but also the spells of white bone armament, bone wall, and bone dungeon have also been enhanced.) Is the necromancer in Hell a nearly all-attribute mutation +1 enhancement?) The Abyss, the graveyard of the Heavenly World Plane, where the law of death is incomparably clear and powerful, and as long as you can comprehend it, it is at your disposal to read as much as you want.

As a result, many necromancers immersed themselves in it for endless years, and finally went insane.

This mission to clear the River of Flames, in fact, will be repeated every once in a while, compared to going into battle himself, the devil is more willing to hire mercenaries from the multiverse plane, and then hedge against the demon army, the endless abyss has no "malice" towards the nine-fold purgatory, the reason why the demons continue to impact the nine-fold purgatory, unless it is the intention of the demon lord, otherwise, it is more of a natural phenomenon, just like the migration of animals.

Therefore, there is no such setting as marching and arranging demon legions, and when the legendary team came to the River of Flames, what they saw was a dense mass of demons "wriggling" in the direction of the Ninefold Purgatory, yes, it was wriggling, because if you look down from a high altitude, it feels like a huge meat worm, constantly arching forward, and they are even constantly killing and devouring each other, which is not only a legion, but also a soldier's food, and a torrent of destruction.

(Roar!)

Raising the sword in his hand, the steel skeleton let out a silent roar, and then, in the middle of the earth on all sides, a skeleton warrior crawled out, and in an instant, a legion was formed.

The Hell Rune Sword "Resentment" spread with a silver-white necromantic flame, and the next moment, with its swing, skeleton warriors in all directions rushed towards the demon army like a gray-white avalanche. There are so many corpses and spirits buried in this land that as long as the range spell is cast almost without turning over and without evoking the medium, there are white bones and broken souls everywhere.

Shi Yinghu turned on his own aura ability, blessed his undead army, and rode the white bone slaughterer who rode across the three-headed dog of hell and chubby to take the lead, just as the so-called licking dog licked everything to the end, the white bone slaughterer has the perseverance and perseverance that normal humans cannot have, so he obtained the personal protection of the three-headed dog of hell, and at this moment, he controlled a bone axe that flew wildly, wantonly slashed and killed all the demons in sight, in the black and red blood rain, the white bone slaughterer laughed silently.

Immediately followed by the steel skeleton that summoned the white bone war horse, riding on the white bone war horse and slashing left and right, sometimes the steel bone would even jump down and slash with the sword, return to the war horse from time to time, and hold the long sword high to exert the "power of command" ability, the gray-white wave under its control, in the demon frenzy impact a large area of broken blood waves.

And then there's the Death Giant King?? Yum, who hates Moriarty, the former has the ability to kill with Death Ripples, and the latter has the most powerful instant single kill ability among the five mutant summons, and with the armor and bone rows on Moriarty's chest opening and closing, one demon after another is dragged into it and incinerated into a blood sacrifice that supplies the beast with stronger energy.

"Roar!"

At this time, a legendary great demon flew by, with two wings on its back and a huge long sword in its hand, which was the most classic image of the abyss legendary great demon.

At this moment, the flames were spewed out in mid-air, and with a sharp sweep, the sea of skeletons was directly cleared one by one.

"Don't let the legendary demons do too much damage to the undead legion, when death and killing are not in a certain proportion, my mana will be consumed in large quantities until the entire undead legion collapses. "Shi Yinghu is in control of the situation in the rear of the two sides, which is also a typical practice of orthodox necromancers, the biggest taboo of orthodox necromancers is that they have not yet been summoned, you rush up first.

Among all the people present, only Ain knew his own bottom, even if the others heard about it, it was not as real as seeing is believing, not to mention that there was a purgatory goblin by his side now, Shi Yinghu did not intend to expose too many abilities that did not belong to the necromancer, in the case of non-necessity, not to mention, how to give his companions some room to perform, the work could not be done by himself, and the meat could not be eaten by himself.

The legendary archdemon flaunted his might in mid-air, but after dodging the bone axe, fire bombs, and iron chains, he was soon sniped down by a arrow of ice arrows, a rocket, and a lightning javelin.

Amazon female warriors, melee ability is not weak, at least certainly much stronger than ordinary mages.

............

"I'm going to fight!"

With such a low roar, Muradin, the king of the hill, held a hammer in both hands, and jumped directly to the center of the frontline battlefield. He gave people the feeling that it was like a burning meteor crashing down on the earth, different from the usual taciturn, at this moment, Muradin, the king of the hills, gave people the feeling as if his whole person was about to burn, the violent aura overflowed, and he was warlike.

“I want a pretty girl, I want a pretty girl, I want a pretty girl..” After a strange spell, the traveling mage Rose stretched out his hand and pointed to a berserk demon in the distance, this berserk demon is even bigger than Moriarty, fierce and irritable, both offensive and defensive bodies are strong and strengthen the ability to recover, and now Moriarty, who is not weaker than the ordinary legend, is actually overwhelmed by it in the frontal offensive and defensive confrontation under the advantage of equipment.

However, with the spell of the traveling mage Rose, the fat berserk demon in front of Moriarty disappeared without a trace.

Such a strange spell made many people behind him tremble.

Shi Yinghu could observe the fluctuations of space, so he asked like this, but he didn't speak, but transmitted his thoughts through spiritual connection.

(...... I don't know, the chance of being randomly expelled should still be in the endless abyss, but we should never encounter it again in our lives. Surprised by the quality of the necromancer beside him, Rose replied anyway.

(The profession of traveling mage is indeed unique, and there is no blood in killing.) )

(Not to mention, the brigade mage profession is actually not a strong combat side profession, for example, I'm not good at group battles and protracted battles, and I'm not good at direct killing, maybe there are some brigade mages who are also very strong in actual combat, but those brigade mages will actually be strong no matter what profession they choose, and I, just by studying the basic ability of the brigade mage's profession, I feel that I have reached the upper limit.) )

A studious, but may not be able to learn, learning this thing also depends on talent, otherwise find a special issue at the forefront of science to read for half an hour, and then you will find that the original brain capacity and appetite are the same, there is an upper limit, some people can eat a little more, some people can only eat a little less, and even worse is that they can't understand it at all, which belongs to anorexia.

The river of flames, under the feet is the land, on all sides is the rushing magma, just the environment here, for ordinary humans is deadly, the legendary strong can not care much, some fire resistance is particularly high, or the strength of the barbarian can even bathe in the magma, of course, that mostly refers to the magma in the world, how many degrees of the magma of hell, there are highly poisonous, all of them, some can be washed, some go in, and they can never come out again.

Shi Yinghu commands the steel bones, and the steel bones command the skeleton army, forming a confluence force, pushing many demons directly into the magma, although the demons' fire resistance is often very high, but the legend below, after boiling in the magma for a long time, at most it is more resistant to cooking, damn it or have to die. In this way, a large number of unorganized and undisciplined demons were directly killed.

"Hey, Kate, you won't get any benefit from killing demons like this, don't kill them all like this. Ain said this on the side, and at this moment she also put down her javelin and used a bow and arrow to shoot, even if she majored in spear skills, but Ain's bow and arrow shooting skills were not inferior to Amanda and Epuri beside her.

The long arrow tore through the demon and shattered the flesh and blood, as if it were almost indestructible.

"Please, Ain, we are now in the lower plane, how many demons there are, kill you until you vomit, and you will not be able to kill them at all in this life. "At this moment, in the distance, a large number of demons surged in, and there was still no high-level demon drive, more than that, just the drive of biological instinct, boundless and boundless.

"Hearing you say that, I suddenly feel so desperate. Since we can't kill the demons no matter how much we kill, what are we doing in this life? Why are we demon hunters?" Ain said this sentence with a little confusion, which is very strange, it is rare to see the rough lines of the Amazon have such sentimental times.

"If you eat today, you will still be hungry tomorrow, and if you kill a scumbag who has done something bad today, there will still be a second, third, or even the Nth scumbag tomorrow. Can we eat today and stop eating tomorrow, when we encounter scum, we should kill him or kill him, it is impossible to let go of what is in front of us because the scum is endless. Shi Yinghu faintly noticed Ain's strangeness, but he didn't know Ain, so he could only say this and be slightly relieved.

The River of Fire has many tributaries, and the Legend Squad must at least wipe out the number of demons to a considerable extent in order to complete this task.

In the next few days, everyone still cooperated like this, Shi Yinghu, Ain, Amanda, Epally, and Rose were in the rear, each using their own abilities to support, while Muradin was at the forefront, and once he encountered a tricky legendary archdemon, he was often the one to solve.

It's just that although the legendary powerhouse has great energy, after a week of continuous fighting, he still feels tired, so he retreats slightly and sets up a tent to rest for a day or two to make adjustments.

Fortunately, tents and supplies were brought from the human world, and there was no need to use precious hell currency to buy them.

"This time, thanks to calling Kate over, otherwise, such a demon tide would rush over in waves, and we would really be tired to death if we killed one by one. After staying for a week, everyone got used to the hot air filled with the smell of sulfur, and at this moment, beside the campfire, Ain held a large wine glass filled with Qingting Island's golden ale, and drank it with his head up, a little syrup spilled down, and the exaggerated curves made people's mouths dry.

"Cool, drinking the chilled ale wine of Qingting Island in hell is really refreshing. ”

"yes, it's different. At this time, Shi Yinghu was also drinking the iced ale wine of Qingting Island, in hell, even the wind was blazing, and there was flame magma all around, but fortunately, the ale taken out of the space equipment was still cold and delicious.

Not to mention Shi Yinghu, Ain, Muradin, Amanda, Apuli, Traveling Mage Rose and others, even the purgatory goblin got a big cup, soaked himself in it and drank it, and from time to time sneaked in and took a deep breath, and then spit out Apuri and the others.

Campfires, good food, friends, chilled ale ...... Everyone was very relaxed that night, and even Shi Yinghu couldn't help but drink a few more glasses, but in the second half of the night, I don't know how, Amanda and Epli dragged Muradin and Rose to the tent, and then Ain carried Shi Yinghu into his tent.

"You know what?"

"What?"

"After this time, I don't plan to go back to the world. ”

“......”

Inside the pitch-black tent, the breath gradually became hot and degenerate.

"Whew...... The dark world is hopeless, there is news of the outbreak of demons everywhere, wars everywhere, nobles colluding with demons and devils everywhere, if the plane settles, we people have no way to retreat, and we are the ones who will inevitably die. ”

"Ah...... I have already told Grull about this, but he said that he would die without complaint or regret by wielding his sword for his world. ”

"Hehe, that's really what Lord Grull can say. Saying this, Shi Yinghu felt that the tent was getting hotter and hotter.

"What about you, little man, you're not a paladin with a steel head, you're a selfish necromancer, would you like to accompany your sister in the abyss? Let's go to find a rich and peaceful world together, fight when we want to fight, and when we don't want to fight, we will go on a trip, go on vacation, and live so easily. ”

Undoubtedly, this is a tempting proposition, especially in this situation.

"No, I still have two wives waiting for me, I won't fight to the death for that world, but I will protect them until I die in battle. ”

“...... Is...... Scum. "After that night, the relationship between the team has become more harmonious, Amanda and Apuri's weaker strength is no longer a shortcoming, but Muradin and Rose are a little afraid of the two of them, but Ain and Kate?? Brian, in front of that necromancer, Ain can no longer show the boldness of the eldest sister.
