The black three-masted galleon joined the fleet, and more than thirty dimensional caravans of various shapes began their journey to the River Styx. They help each other, they are also watching out for each other, each praying that they will be safe, and at the same time praying that if they want to die, they will die and let themselves go.

There was not a single wind on the icy sea of the fifth layer of hell, so the sails were folded. Standing on the side of the ship, Feige could see the array of spells near the ship's waterline from the full field of view, and it was this spell that drove the ship forward. It was a rune written in Hell, Celestial, Dragon, and Water Elemental, and it was the Water Elemental and Hell Runes that were currently in play.

Feige looked at it for a while, and then realized that there were many runes hidden under the ship, and he couldn't see it without going down, so he gave up the idea. If it's an ordinary body of water, it's fine, the key is that the water of the River Styx is too special, and no matter what kind of creature is in this water, it will be affected and gradually lose something. Life vitality and memory are the easiest things to lose, and there are some special abilities of living beings.

If a contract demon goes down, there is a chance that the ability to sign the contract will disappear, and the angel may not be able to release the divine aura when he goes down. The River Styx is a river of vanishing that has no source or end, constantly shuttling between worlds, taking with it what it touches. However, in some specific circumstances, the River Styx will also give the creatures in the river some magical properties, such as the invulnerability of the whole body except for the ankles that have not touched the water.

"After reading the spell book and observing this ship again, why do I think you are more curious than me? Why, is it the first time you have taken this kind of ship?" The man in full armor actually took the initiative to come over and talk to the devil, which made Feige a little unexpected.

"This is not the first time for this kind of ship, this is the first time, do not confuse the concept. Feige glanced at the Strange spell book that was still hanging on his body, "Did you come here to get this book back?"

"I don't think you'll give it to me until we get off the ship, the devil is always greedy, and maximizing profit is your only pursuit. The word "moderation" doesn't seem to exist for the devil. ”

"If you know that the devil is so dangerous, why do you come to me? Be careful, I may sell your soul in a few words. ”

"I have a better proposal. The man lowered his voice and approached Feige and asked, "Do you see the big man next to me, and what would it cost if you took his soul and let him die?"

"That's not in my plans, I don't want to do it. Fei Qi looked at the figure of the strong man of the purple potato, although it was far less huge than the Soul Eater Giant, but it appeared stronger and more solid than it, and it looked like it was extremely dangerous. "No, I'm not in the mood to be someone else's killer right now. ”

"Just to explore. On the one hand, do you devils have this ability, and on the other hand, they want to ask about the price, so that it won't offend you, right?"

Feige looked at the man who had hidden himself behind his whole family, and for the sake of his fellow humans, he said, "As a devil, I will answer you like this: In terms of ability, I have single-handedly killed taller, stronger, and more terrifying creatures than it when the good divine power interfered in the battle; ”

"That's great, please do it. ”

Feige sighed, and with a flip of his wrist, a contract appeared in the palm of his hand. "You have just sold your soul, you know, according to this contract, I don't have to do anything to get your soul, and even the souls of all the people you care about. Your uncontrollable mouth, alas......"

"If you can let that guy die, why not give it to you?"

"He is not immortal, and there will be an end to his life. As a devil, I don't need to kill him, I just need to break his every attempt to immortalize to fulfill the contract - this kind of thing is easy to accomplish and does not require much effort at all. Feige shook the contract, and continued: "Premeditated murder is an evil act in every sense, and buying murder is both evil and cowardly, and it is wrong to make mistakes. And you promise something that doesn't belong to you to someone else, which in itself is a sign of breach of contract. So I can make you pay according to the rules of hell. If I feel that your soul is not enough, I will harvest the soul from your child, your child's child, or any relative. I won't kill them, but I'll make their souls less susceptible and more susceptible. Immediately afterward, mental stress and torture will make them more susceptible to the devil's control, and eventually they will choose to surrender their souls in a depraved way, such as murder, suicide, or any other means. Do you understand what you've done now?"

The armored man froze for about two seconds, then suddenly reached out and grabbed the contract. He's not a contract demon, so his fingers can only penetrate through the contract. "Very decisive, but also reckless, it seems that this is an inherent flaw in your character. This contract is real, but I haven't turned it into a physical one yet, so you can't catch it. Plus, even if you kill me, the contract will still be there. The next Contract Demon will find the contract and start executing it. The only way to get you out of this contract ......"

Feige took the contract, tore it to shreds with both hands, and threw it into the River Styx. "Well, the contract doesn't exist anymore. Do you feel a sense of relief? If not, you'll do it again next time, and if you do, remember to never sign an agreement that you can't overturn, never promise something you can't do, and don't let someone else do what you have to do. ”

"Wait, are you really a devil? were you lying to me before, or are you still trying to fool me?"

"Don't make so many shows. Feige sat down against the side of the ship, spread the spell book on his lap, and began his second reading. "See that purple guy you've been trying to kill? He's very focused on his own business, watching you all the time. I think it's funny, why didn't he kill you when he was capable?"

"Because a stupid guy made a deal with him and saved my life. Now as long as I don't attack him or annoy him, he won't kill me. And in this hell of boredom, there is nothing good about the plan to kill me. ”

"That's your business, so I won't ask. Also, if you bother me any more, I don't mind charging a few more souls at all. Feiqi pointed to the spell book in his hand: "I can even say that you are detrimental to my interests by delaying every second of my reading." Got it, stay away from the devil......"

This is almost the second most intimate piece of advice in the entire multiverse, only by a small disadvantage behind the four-word mantra "Don't panic".

The man in full armor probed a few more words, but Feige ignored him. The previous reminder is already the limit, and if you continue to say it, you will either harm him or yourself. Moreover, the humans encountered in Hell are likely to be more evil than the devil, and Feige must also have a heart for embankment. Instead of educating others, don't take the time to read spell books and educate yourself.

This mage named Strange has some interesting spells, such as creating a mirror space for spell experiments, and trapping enemies during combat. Feige didn't know much about his spell system and couldn't learn it for a while, so he focused more on his notes on spells. These commentaries contain his ideas of magic and knowledge of the world, and some of them are very instructive.

"The infinite universe is just an illusion created by the inability to understand and recognize it. The world is just being born and disappearing......" Feige reads as he puts himself into the identity of this Strange, recreating from his perspective the state it was in when these words were written. Thinking from the designer's point of view is one of the most important abilities of a cracker, and this empathy can be thought of as creating a soul resonance that breaks through the gap between knowledge, experience, and insight. Especially in the field of spells, souls change the world and souls shape spells. Thus this empathy allowed Feige to gradually probe into Strange's spells, starting with understanding and eventually reaching application.

Understanding others is the starting point for the actions of good gods, but cracking the knowledge of others to steal is the means for the evil devil to pursue profits. Feige has fused these two states into one, and he can already use them very skillfully. After about half an hour, his fingers were already able to produce rune lines for Strange's spell, and he was close to making runes.

At this moment, a dull trumpet sounded, and then the trumpets sounded one after another. "Fishman! It's Sahua Fishman! Starboard! Pay attention to Starboard!"

The fleet began to accelerate, and the ships that first spotted the Sawa Fishman had begun to accelerate before the alarm horn was sounded. "Damn, why don't you say how many are coming? Is there a port side? Raise the sails, speed up, keep course! yes, don't mind those stupid people going to the left! Stay out of the way, we'll speed straight!"

Captain Octopusbeard rushed to the deck and kicked hard at the mast. The black sails opened, and then they puffed up in an instant. "Open your eyes, this is a precious windless black sail! The wind that is usually stored is released, ensuring that our ship is faster than anyone else's!"

And so it was. There is not a hint of wind above the icy sea, and the only thing that can make the sails puff up is its own stored energy. The big ship accelerated suddenly, and the bow of the ship was cocked directly. The people on the deck staggered, and quickly grabbed the ropes around them and stood firm. In just a few moments, the black three-masted galleon rushed to the front of the line, but not the first.

The captain was obviously very careful, and he understood the reason why the gun shot the first bird. Three sails are now lowered only one, and the other two are apparently intended for emergencies. Fitch looked behind him, and the Sawa Fishman had rushed to a ship at the back of the fleet, and hundreds of monsters with slender hands and feet and huge flat fish heads had climbed up, stabbing and slashing with their cone-like teeth and recurves. The crew did put up a desperate resistance, and they died.

After a while, there was a loud bang on the left side of the fleet, and the River Styx seemed to have been blasted, and a huge column of water rushed into the sky. After the water of the River Styx fell like torrential rain and waterfalls, an iceberg blocked the fleet's passage to the left. It turned out that the fishman pressed an iceberg into the bottom of the water by a certain method, and after the effect was removed, the iceberg floated at high speed and hit it like a cannonball.

It's just that the fish-people are not just coming with cannonballs, but with a wall of ice. Although several ships made the maximum maneuver, they could not avoid it and crashed into it. As soon as their speed decreased, the Sawa Fishman rushed forward, slaughtering and looting, all according to the process.

"Lower the sails, check the anchor, and be ready to manoeuvre!" As soon as the captain gave the order, the sailors carried it out, and it was evident that they were indeed well trained. Not only his boat, but several other ships next to him gradually slowed down, but they were still alert. The captain then carefully took out a golden shark statue from the hidden compartment under the steering wheel, held it high, and remained in this position.

The Sawa Fish-Man worships Saikora, a deity who has a shark as his symbol, and the golden statue is apparently some kind of prayer vessel. Fishmen are sometimes very greedy and will try to catch them all when faced with a large fleet, in which case even the strongest ships will not be able to do well. This time, however, they were lucky, as the Fishmen were satisfied with their catch, and seven ships were enough for them to digest for a while.

It was only after driving far away that the alarm was lifted. No matter what the ships did when they escaped before, whether they sold their teammates or not, they don't care anymore now. Everyone gathered together, regrouped into a flotilla, and marched hand in hand again. As for those who have fallen behind and those who have died in the belly of the fish, no one will miss them, let alone commemorate them.

As he progressed along the River Styx, Feige came to the fourth level. The boat doesn't stop, leaving only the scenery along the way. It's a world of fire, burning everywhere, even on the River Styx. The captain urged everyone to enter the cabin, and only the vicinity of the steering wheel on the deck was completely fireproof, and he could not guarantee the safety of the others.

The contract demon is not afraid of the damage of ordinary flames, he will not be harmed by the flames of the environment in this layer, on the contrary, he will have a feeling of comfort and vitality. So Feige didn't go down, he chose to stay on deck, and while continuing to read, he wanted to observe the direction of the ship. Although the captain behaved very professionally when he encountered the Fish-Man before, there is no guarantee that he did not have the same professionalism when he was pitting people. The captain understands the contract demon's choice. He didn't stop or hinder Feige from doing so, after all, this choice was normal, and many devils were like that.

Styx is not afraid of fire, but it also does not like to be burned, so its length in this layer of Hell is very short. In other words, Feige took the nearest path and traveled to his next destination. The swamp on the third level, the steel city on the second level, the Styx is a little longer than the fourth layer, but it is also much shorter than the ice sea on the fifth layer. The ship, which was already fully loaded on the fifth floor, wanted to leave the devil's world as soon as possible so that it could safely cash in on its gains, so none of the "side quests" were triggered.

Feige was an ignorant devil when he was in the ruins of the seventh layer of hell, and now that he has finally reached the first level, he has seen a lot of scenery and spell books, but his knowledge of the devil and hell has not grown much. "Well, it's so easy to get to the first floor?
