Chapter 399: Borun's Ambition
One to get much-needed information, the other to save his own life......
In this way, two guys who had been hostile just a few minutes ago ended up signing their names on a fairly binding magical contract.
You must know that although the monarchs of hell are insidious, cunning, cruel, and evil, they have always been meticulous in the execution of contracts, and even if they treat their most trusted subordinates and direct descendants, they will not hesitate to kill them.
So when the contract came into effect, Zhang Cheng was not worried at all that Borune would risk his death to report to the great demons in hell.
On the contrary, instead of telling the truth, he will do everything possible to ensure that what happened today is not known to outsiders, otherwise once the contents of the contract are discovered by another hell demon, he will instantly become a traitor to hell, not to mention continuing to climb up, or he will have to go to the chaotic land to escape from the pursuit.
As the sulfur-smelling parchment burned through the air, Borun's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he began to scrutinize the Doom Guards, Succubi, and Hellhounds around him.
After a long moment, he stared at two yellowed eyes and said tentatively, "Are they really from the Burning Legion, is there really an evil force in the universe that can rival hell?"
"What do you think?" Zhang Chengyi asked rhetorically.
In fact, this earth, which is full of supernatural powers, although the historical process is strikingly similar to the earth where he grew up, for example, both have experienced two world wars, after the war the two superpowers of the Soviet Union and the United States dominated the global order, and finally the superpower called the Soviet Union took the lead in decline and division, and even many famous economic and political events are the same.
But I don't know what the reason, maybe it's the relationship between the parliament and the secret suppression, or maybe it's a coincidence, in short, none of the fantasy books, film and television works and games that should have come out have appeared so far.
Whether it is the Lord of the Rings, which is known as the originator of fantasy, or the rules of the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop game that are popular in the European and American markets, all of them have disappeared inexplicably.
Therefore, those things that were created and derived by borrowing from the above two, such as World of Warcraft, Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Diablo, etc., naturally ceased to exist.
Therefore, the famous "Burning Legion" on another earth is not known in this world at all.
Even more interestingly, the witch trials, which were supposed to flourish in the Dark Middle Ages, were also absent from this world, and were replaced by a "Great Purge" campaign against Catholicism launched by the newly formed parliament.
In order to redeem Heaven's growing influence on the world of ordinary people, they hunted and suppressed churches around the world for hundreds of years from the Renaissance to the First Industrial Revolution, killing bishops with powerful supernatural powers, and stirring up people's rejection of religion by exposing and creating scandals.
By the end of the twentieth century, the Church of Rome had transformed from a behemoth with terrifying influence into a symbol full of historical significance, and no longer dared to try to manipulate people's minds.
Zhang Cheng doesn't intend to comment too much on what the council has done in history, but there is a lack of fantasy books, games, and movies about the world. But it made him very happy.
This meant that whether he used the magical knowledge and power system he had acquired from Azeroth or elsewhere, he didn't have to worry about causing hostility and panic, let alone anyone doubting that he could travel through different fantasy worlds.
But unfortunately, Borune didn't know this, and continued to look at the succubi who were close at hand out of the corner of his eye, secretly comparing himself with the female counterparts in hell who lured mortals to fall, and finally came to a conclusion.
The other party, whether in terms of charm, or in terms of scheming and means, is far higher than the vast majority of female demons born from lust in hell.
As a result, he began to believe that the "Burning Legion" was real, and that the young wizard standing in front of him was the spokesman of this evil force, and began to consider a full-scale invasion at some point in the future.
After all, the reason why there is no large-scale war between Heaven, Hell and the Council at the moment is simply to contain each other, just like a stable triangular structure, if one side attacks the other, it is likely that a third party will take advantage of it, and in such a situation, a slightly reasonable leader will choose to be patient for the time being.
But now......
An evil force known as the Burning Legion has discovered Earth, and the unbreakable balance will soon be gone.
Perhaps, in the eyes of ordinary people, this means the disappearance of peace, the advent of war and disaster.
But in Borun's eyes, it means chaos and opportunity!
And it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Since the terrible Great War in the Ancient Ages, the limited position of the Demon Monarch in Hell has been almost entirely held by the survivors of the time, and if they do not die, the new demons born later will have no chance at all.
But a full-scale war is enough to change that.
He believed that once the evil force called the Burning Legion invaded the earth, it would inevitably trigger a fierce reaction from the upper echelons of hell, especially the seven great monarchs who claimed to bear the original sin of mankind, and would never allow anything more terrifying and evil than themselves to exist.
At that time, it will not be much, as long as one or two die, there will inevitably be a huge power vacuum in hell, and he can completely rely on secretly cooperating with the young man in front of him to realize the ambition that has been hidden in his heart for a long time.
The Great Monarch of Hell, Borune!
He liked the fact that someone else could add such a resounding title when calling out his name......
I have to say that the demon is really a very peculiar life form, as if from the moment of birth, it has a strong self-motivation that is difficult to describe in words, and unless it dies, it will never give up its desire for power and power.
From the other party's eyes, Zhang Cheng saw the burning desire, smiled disapprehantly, and once again raised the worn leather container in his hand and asked, "Now, tell me, what is it?"
"As you can see, it's a water bladder, it's just that the material used is a bit special. Borune replied with a pursed lip.
"Material, do you mean this leather that exudes a strong smell of death?" Zhang Cheng subconsciously frowned.
"Yes, I'm sure you've heard of Greek mythology that Hades had a fifty-headed hound named Cerberus.
But then this terrible monster was killed in a great war in ancient times, near the source of the River Styx, and it is said that the terrible power of death polluted the nearby area, and anyone who came close, even the dead soul would be mercilessly devoured.
And from its corpse were born many descendants with three heads, that is, the modern underworld hounds domesticated by the council.
This bladder is a powerful ancient wizard who risked his life to cut a piece of leather from the corpse of Cerberus, and has the power to control the waters of the River Styx.
As for me, it was also discovered by chance and exchanged from the hands of an ordinary collector......"
