Chapter 301 Vanity

Ra Ka Duo is a vain demon, a demon who never appears in a bloody battle, and the most cunning manipulator and infiltrator of all of Hell. It was a giant worm, almost 5 meters long, with a round mouth full of teeth that could crush steel and rock, and at the other end of the worm's body were three human heads that shared an upper body.

These three heads are called Ra, Ka, and Duo, and they have independent minds and can also "work together" to plot plots. Usually, there is always a head awake, and he will spit out a long red tongue like a whip to work in place of his arm, and also use this tongue to suck blood and eat. Its strange appearance is always frightening, and legend has it that if you dream of this armless, long-tongued red figure, it means that the Void Demon has been present next to you.

Walk through the private room of the Soul Tavern and continue inside, turning right like a dark hallway before reaching the kitchen, and at the end of the room with a red glow through the crack in the door is where Lacado works and rests. It's very comfortable, and there are pillows full of soft and hard pillows on the floor, which can effectively support the worm-like body of the delusional demon all the time. But what really supports it and allows it to work here with peace of mind is actually a long-term plan.

To plan, it can leave the soft mat, use its tongue (no hands) to pull open the secret door of the floor, and go to the secret room made of cold and hard bluestone slabs on the ground, and check what is stored here once more.

"Mistress is coming out soon, isn't she?" Lacado's three heads were awake, and they were talking to each other. Although they think independently, the three heads are not so clearly separated in a conversation, and one head often speaks the words of the other. If the giant tooth on the other end of the worm's body joins the discussion, which can also speak, it is that four voices appear at the same time. Only a handful of creatures can really keep up with the Delusional Demon's conversation, and the rest will feel like a mess in their heads.

"The time should be almost up, and you should be ready. The other head followed and said, "I'm ready anyway, I'm afraid that you won't do well and make the mistress lose her temper." ”

"I see that you are delirious, we all do it together, whether it is good or bad, we bear it together, will the hostess still hit the same head?"

"Isn't that possible?" "Of course she can do that!" "How did you get into us?"

"You three don't talk nonsense!" said one of the heads, apparently counting the mouth of the giant tooth that had not opened at the other end. "Is everything ready? Bayer will definitely know as soon as the mistress leaves the cage, so she must be allowed to regain her strength quickly so that she can gain an advantage in the battle with Bayer. ”

"We all know this, you talk too much, and your ears are calloused. One of the heads said, "Hurry up and check it one last time, and then ...... And then what are we going to do?"

"Let's ...... Wait, did you hear anything?"

Lakado pricked up his ears to listen, and there was a faint knock from outside the secret door to the ceiling. "Didn't you say don't bother?

Judging by the peculiar rhythm of the knock on the door, it was the restaurant's demon maître d'être outside, using an "important and urgent" percussion code. Rakado was a little helpless, it squirmed, and then used its mana to float itself and emerge from the underground chamber. Then he cleaned the marks on the ground as quickly as he could, covered him with a blanket and pillow, and then said in an impatient tone: "Come in!"

The door opened, and the demon maître walked in with an octopus-like tentacle. Her face flushed, and she looked very excited: "My lord, it's an envoy, it's the envoy of the Demon King!"

"What's the matter?" Lacado didn't understand where the excitement of his men was coming from. Especially after Barr defeated Zarel to claim the position of Hell Lord and launched a hunt for Zariel's old troops, Rakador has been cautious, never showing any inclination of his own, and has not had much contact with any Devil Lord, and it is impossible for anyone to send an envoy over.

"The envoy of the Demon King. Holding his cheeks with his hands, the servant moved backwards to a corner of the room, then held out a hand: "Envoy: Enma." ”

Feige walked in in the guise of an ice fiend, looking at the strangely shaped Lakador. In the knowledge of the Mind Turning Demon contains the basic information of all the lower level demons, and the Void Demon is also among them. It is not a demon that focuses on combat ability, but is very proficient in using its own spirit to occupy the body of others. It has four heads, and can occupy the bodies of all three main enemies at once if necessary, leaving the worm heads to defend itself. At the same time, it can also change the minds of others, allowing opponents to kill each other. This is a very dangerous kind of devil, but it is completely suppressed by the Mind Turning Demon in terms of mind control.

"How can an ice demon be an envoy? You're sick in the head, aren't you?" Lakado was disappointed, and was about to take advantage of the opportunity to lose his temper with his servant demon and cast several psychic detection and control spells to envelop the suspicious ice demon, but was surprised to find that the ice demon had taken the initiative to disarm his illusion, revealing a terrifying face like a melting mask.

"Of course an ice demon can't be an envoy, how about a mind demon?" Feige looked at the servant demon, the red dots of light in his hollow eye sockets flickering slowly, and there was a convincing power hidden in his slow voice. "You were well serviced, left the room and forgot what had just happened. ”

The Servant's flushed face turned pale, and as if she had lost her memory, she walked out of the room with blank eyes, and gently closed the door. Feige looked at Rakador with satisfaction, and looked at its three faces with fear, and said, "Do you know what I'm here for?"

"My lord, I can't guess. One of Lacador's heads quickly replied, and the other two began to think quickly. Mind Spenders are very rare in Hell, and even among the strongest Devil Lords, they are more like legends. Just like a mortal mother scares her child with the story of "if you don't eat well, you will be taken away by monsters", the heart demon is also used to "educate" the devil.

"It's time for Zariel to come out, are you ready?" Feige raised his right hand, spiky claws rubbing against each other with a sparkling and ear-souring sound. By this time, the attention of all four of Lakador's heads had been concentrated, listening intently to Feiqi's words, and no longer receiving other information from the surroundings.

This is the ability to turn the mind demon, the most basic and weird one: the words of education. Any creature with enough intelligence to produce the ability to speak is likely to be immersed in the words of the Mind Turning Demon and gradually let down its guard when it hears the words of the Mind Turning Demon. As long as the Demon of the Mind is still exercising its words of indoctrination, the more difficult it will be to resist this "immersion" and "relaxation".

"The Demon King's plan is going well, it's time for Zariel to do his part, and so are you. Isn't it nice to wait here, have you forgotten who you are and what you do?"

"No! absolutely not!" one of Rakador's heads blurted out, while the other two were still a little vigilant, and hurriedly said, "My lord, according to ...... In accordance with our duties, we must verify your identity. ”

"So, do you think a mind-bending demon will come to you to play with nothing to do?" Feige's tone didn't change in the slightest, so he expressed not annoyance but mockery, and the edifying words continued: "I understand your concerns, but your worries come from your lack of ability to work, just as I know who you are and what you do, and you don't know anything about me. Fortunately, your ignorance of your surroundings is also in the calculation of the plan. ”

"I'm sorry sir, you're a demon and ...... There are so many legends of the Mind Twister that I have to be careful. Beads of sweat had begun to ooze from Lakador's head, and he put all his vigilance on the only question, under the control of his own nervousness and edifying words: "My lord, I don't dare to waste any more time, so I will ask only one thing: if you know who I am, then you should also know where Lord Zariel is being held, right?"

"Yes, I know, that place of captivity is in the Bronze Fortress, built by Zariel's own hands, not far from the Maggot's Den. I also knew that Bair drew her blood every day to increase the power of his bloodline. ”

"My lord, it turns out that everything is under your control...... My lord, I have no more doubts. After Lacado finished saying these words, he suddenly felt a sense of relief, which was also a manifestation of the continued deepening of the words of indoctrination.

"Suspicion is a sign of shrewdness, but there are two things that must be made clear: it is the Demon King who controls everything, and I am only its messenger, and I dare not take credit. At the same time, Zariel will return to the Hell Lord, and she definitely doesn't want the news of her blood being drawn. What to say and what not to say, you should also be clear. ”

"Yes, there are some things that really don't need to be said. Lakado nodded vigorously. Zariel has a great temper, and she is full of desire to fight and kill, so when things don't go her way, they will inevitably solve them in a violent way. Rakador had seen Zarel punish his men many times, and those demons were just degraded for the sake of some trivial things like sesame mung beans, and were even torn to pieces and thrown into the den of maggots. Compared to their little things, Zariel's captivity and blood draw from Bair was enough to die hundreds of times.

"Once Zariel leaves the cage, he must quickly establish his authority so that he can better control the situation and advance the Demon King's plans. So I'm here to ask you: Is everything ready?"

"Of course, of course!" Lakado said in accordance with Feich's meaning, "everything is ready, just waiting for Lord Zariel to leave the cage." My lord, do you want to check things?"

Feige looked at Rakacdorf and shook his head slowly. You must be cautious and cautious in dealing with the devil.,Now that you're the envoy of the demon king.,Everything must be thought from the perspective of the demon king's envoy.。 "Why should I check things for you? Am I not responsible if something is missing or invalid in it? You're a dishonest fellow - bring me the list and I'll just know you don't forget something important." ”

Lakado nodded, and it slid to the corner of the room, licking its tongue through the cracks in the wall. After a few moments, cracks open in the wall and slide to the sides, revealing a hidden compartment that contains several space bags and a pair of scrolls. Instead of taking things out immediately, it continued working on the four walls of the dark grid, waiting until the innermost wall glowed reddish before pulling out the scroll.

There were also traps on the scrolls, which Lakado respectfully unraveled and handed to Feige after opening them himself to prove that it was safe. Seeing this, Feige knew how wise it was to not try to break in or dismantle the trap himself.

The scroll was full of all kinds of rare items, as a not very authentic devil, most of the things he had heard of for the first time, and he didn't know what they were for, only things like spirit coins were easy to understand. I don't know what the use of taking these things back I don't understand, and isn't robbing them for nothing? As the fork in the road demon said, this is indeed a treasure house, but it is a treasure trove that Fei Qi does not understand.

"Are you ready for this?" Fitch simply took out the remaining Divine Crystal and showed it to Lakador. Unexpectedly, it popped up, all eyes radiated excitement, and three long red tongues kept swallowing.

"My lord, I do lack this thing! you think so thoughtfully!" he gestured to roll up the Divine Crystal with his tongue, but Feige pinched his tongue directly with his spiked claws. Blood dripped from the tips of his claws, and Feige had no intention of letting go, and Rakador didn't dare to cry out in pain.

"Do you think I'm here to deliver something to you?" Feige hinted to Lakador, "The subtle difference between doing right and doing well is the most important criterion for the Helllord to evaluate his men. ”

"My lord, I was wrong, please give me a chance to correct it. The other two heads of Lacado begged for mercy, and Feige let go of his tongue. "I have some private collections that I hope I can exchange for the powerful crystals. ”

Feige nodded, and asked Lacado to bring him a list of which he would choose. But since it is a "private collection", Lacado did not make a registration list. The things that belong to Zariel need a list to prove that they have taken good care of them and have not filled their pockets, and if their things are listed, isn't there a danger that they will be searched for?

Originally, even without the Divine Crystal, Lakado had everything ready, and it didn't have to be the icing on the cake. However, under the influence of Feige's indoctrination, Lacado's way of thinking is limited, and he can only follow Feige's way of thinking. In other words, this is called brainwashing, and the first step is often to limit the way and scope of information you can receive.

The longer Lacado stayed with Fitch and listened to what he said, the more he became more and more dependent on Fitch in his way of thinking, and he was always caught up in Fitch's logic. So it felt like it had a chance to build on what it had done and get an excellent score to improve its status in Zariel's heart. And the Divine Crystal was its best – and later "only" – way to do that.

"Lord Zariel is about to get out of trouble, and I don't have time to look for other Divine Crystals!, alas, if I had been more vigilant and diligent, I wouldn't have been so urgent. Lakado blamed himself and treated Fitch like the best, "Thanks to Lord Enma, it must have its own interests in helping me, but isn't that what it deserves? ”

While convincing himself, Rakado led Feige into the underground vault and unlocked the terrifying spell traps with his own hands, revealing the treasure trove in front of Feiqi.
