Chapter 248 The Fork in the Path

Ways to prevent hell's erosion?

Feige looked back at the Fork in the Road, his brow furrowed, his heart full of suspicion. Can hell be prevented? How does it sound so whimsical? Hell has been here for so many years, depraving people is its nature, and soul erosion is what it does all the time, can it be stopped?

Could it be a trap? Could it be that the fork-in-the-road demon wants to provoke his greed and regain control? Could it be a perfectly disguised deception? Or ...... Does the Fork Demon really want to cooperate?Fei Qi looked at the Fork Devil's face in the mirror seal, and couldn't draw a conclusion in his heart.

"Then tell me about it. Feiqi said.

"The current lord of the first layer of Hell is Bayer, a powerful Hellpurator. Before it, the lord of this level was Zariel. I was in the service of Zariel, and I was the loser in the struggle for power, so I am now hiding in the seventh layer of Hell. If you tell Bayer where I am, it will definitely kill me and reward you. ”

"Being able to vacate an extra Hellpurgatory position, of course it will reward meβ€”but you know I won't do that, so ......" Feige looked back at the spatial turbulence kaleidoscope and said coldly, "Getting to the point!"

"Do you know what kind of devil Zariel is?"

"Isn't it the Deep Hell?"

"Originally, Zarel was a four-pair winged Blazing Divine Attendant tasked with descending to Hell to observe, assess, and control the bloody battle. Letting demons and demons kill each other has always been the plan of the so-called good gods, and Zariel is the observer. It needs to stay in Hell for a long time, at least not until it is destroyed or the bloody battle is over. And in Hell, as long as it wants to hide, few guys can kill it. ”

"No matter how you look at it, there's no end in sight, so Zariel needs to find a way to fight the Hell's Erosion for a long time. I was a little devil at the time, and I had just completed the task of acting as a demon pet in the mortal world and causing the soul of an archmage to fall, and I was about to go to the next level. Zariel grabbed me and asked me to act as the devil's eyeliner. ”

As long as there is enough interest, it is not so difficult to understand that it is not so difficult to sell the devil's information to the angels. The Fork in the Road Demon did just that, and it readily agreed, and saw it as an opportunity. Thanks to the experience and skill of seducing the archmage into his previous years, it gradually became Zariel's most trusted eyeliner in the form of a little devil.

"I'm just a pet of it, slowly building trust. Following it, I know that it has been using some method to fight the erosion of hell. After more than a hundred years of spying, I slowly pieced together the entirety of this ritual, and then secretly did it. ”

"That's the most proud thing I'm doing. The fork in the road said with a smile, the pride in his eyes clearly visible. "Zariel has been corrupted by hell and his strength has been greatly reduced. In addition, I informed Asmodeirs of this information in advance, and it sent a powerful Hellpurgatory to subdue Zariel in one fell swoop. The Lord of Hell then performed a Fall ritual for Zariel, transforming him into an extremely powerful demon and sending him to the first level of Hell to taunt the good gods who sent angels to observe the bloody battle. Zariel progressed through the ranks to become a Hellpuritor, but he kept the wings of his demonic yearsβ€”the ones that had been white and blackened, after all. ”

"With the help of this merit, I was also promoted to become a powerful contract demon, and was given the name of the fork demon by the Demon King to commemorate the event when I made the angel go to a fork in the road. After that, I continued to serve Zariel, slowly working my way up from the contract demon to becoming a purgatory in the Deep, and managed to gain a territory. ”

"As for the subsequent Bayer conspiracy to overthrow Zariel, this has nothing to do with the point I am going to talk about today. In order to resist the ravages of hell during the angelic period, Zarel used a set of rituals that worked until they were destroyed by my conspiracy, and the angel's brilliance was never damaged in the slightest, and the so-called holy light was always pure and shining. "With your magical abilities, I'm sure you can perform the same rituals, not only to ward off the erosion, but perhaps to purify what has already happened," said the Fork in the Road. ”

Feige listened carefully, the story made sense, but he didn't live through that period firsthand, so he couldn't tell if it was true or not. "I have to hear if this ritual is reasonable, after all, no matter how well a product's backstory is told, it doesn't mean that it can function as well as it should. ”

"Elemental Energy Gem, you know this for sure. Since the Elemental Plane is capable of producing gems with their own elemental properties, can Heaven and Hell, which represent good and evil, have the same thing?" said with a smile, "Zarel made an incense called the Essence of Pure Good from the products of the Celestial Realm, and used it in a special ritual to mimic the environment of the Celestial Realm, which was used to wash, filter, and neutralize the effects of Hell. Whether it's pure goodness essence incense or this purification ritual, I know it very well. ”

"It's still too sketchy for me to judge, so I can only think of it as a story. ”

"The insatiable greed you are showing now may be a manifestation of hell's erosion in your soul. The Fork Demon snorted coldly, but quickly put away his disdainful tone: "Feiqi, I said that I wanted to start a real cooperation, and I would tell you all about the pure essence incense and purification ritual. I don't ask for anything to be exchanged, I just ask you to show sincerity and promise one thing. ”

"If I just promise to come down, you'll tell me, whether I'm done or not?"

"Yes, trust always has to have someone to take the middle step first, and I'm not qualified not to take that step first. The Fork Demon said, "I want you to promise me enough Hell favor for me to be able to get out of the Soul Crystal in the form of a Deep Hell Purgatory." ”

"Yes. Feige nodded, "I promise you." ”

"Then you listen, that's how the essence of pure goodness is made...... The purification ritual is like this......"

The Fork of the Road tells the details of incense and rituals, including how Zariel works and how he observes and makes inferences. For four hours, the fork in the road demon had been focusing on the matter in a calm tone, not doing anything superfluous, as if he didn't want any untimely emotions to affect this "cooperation".

Sincerity, even if it is still for the sake of profit, but this is indeed the sincerity shown by the fork in the road, and Feige can't deny it. "You can easily gather the ingredients for pure essence incense through the Blood Dealers' Bazaar or the Styx Shipping, and find a quiet place to make it yourself. As for that ritual, the Celestial Rune isn't a problem for you, is it?"

Feige shook his head, the method of making these two things sounded a certain difficulty, but there were no completely insurmountable obstacles. It doesn't require the power of angels, it doesn't require specific magic, and it doesn't require faith, so Feige is sure to complete it.

Planes are planes, and goodness and gods are not bound together, so items that represent the characteristics of the "good" world have nothing to do with good gods, just as elemental gems have nothing to do with elemental creatures. "Fork in the Road Demon, if the representative item of the Good Heavenly Realm is incense, then what is the evil hell?

"Spirit coins are useful in many planes, and souls are not evil in themselves. I think it's probably some kind of metal item, with gold being the most likely - it's just that I haven't found or heard of a collection of pure evil so far. ”

"Then leave it alone. Feiqi rubbed his eyes and stood up: "I can't hold on, I'll end it today, and I'll try my luck later." ”

The fork in the road didn't say much to him, including goodbye. Maybe after having to take the first step to "build trust", this Deep Hell Purgatory felt bad, ashamed, ashamed, and ashamed? Feige was not a Deep Hell Purgator, and he couldn't empathize, so he couldn't guess why. All he could do was deepen his memory of the incense and purification rituals of pure goodness, while reminding himself that "the devil is always evil and cunning."

In fact, just like those who have signed a contract with the devil, who of them does not know the truth that the devil is always evil and cunning? Feige didn't deny that he was lucky, and thought to himself, "What if the fork in the road demon really wanted to cooperate this time".

"But if there is no fluke, how can hope exist? many times, luck is hope ......" Feige walked out of the throne hall and stood under the skys of hell to gather his thoughts. When he didn't need to stare at the spatial turbulence kaleidoscope, Feige was able to fully concentrate his mind, so he gradually sorted out his thoughts.

The Fork in the Road Demon said so much, and the essential purpose was to keep Feige in the state of the devil, which was a more realistic goal than "casting the Hellpurgatory Himself". It didn't know that the Painted Book existed, that it could create multiple forms for lust, and that it could isolate each other.

Human desires are different from those of the devil, and this can be solved - the problem of longevity may be the root of the devil's worries. The devil does not die a natural death in hell, and being killed is just a downgrade, and he can come again. The pure human body only has one chance to "live", and this opportunity will not last for another hundred years. A hundred years, for the Deep Hell Purgatory Demon, for the Fork in the Road Demon, it is likely not enough for it to resurrect.

Unless another helper appears, the Fork in the Road Demon can only let Feige live as long as possible before he has any hope of getting out of trouble. Because of this, the Fork in the Road Demon will sell the Devil's advantages in all aspects of mental and physical strength, hoping that Feige can continue to advance and even become a high-level Devil. The real temptation in this matter is actually the superiority of the devil race.

This did not tempt Feige, because he had chosen to use the Picture Book, and this path was not optional, but was already moving along it. "Cooperation? cooperation is impossible, pure exchange of interests is still possible, this is much simpler. ”

The sincerity given by the Fork in the Road Demon is the Pure Essence Incense and Purification Ritual, and the materials inside need to be collected by Feiqi. He recalled the goods of the blood bazaar, and it seemed that there was still a lot of things missing. If you don't want to wait, the Styx shipping is the best choice, after all, the Styx also has tributaries in the celestial realm, and things can be obtained there.

And you can also ask if the coordinates of the second world have been sold.

There is no Styx on the seventh level of hell, at least you need to go up to the ice sea on the fifth layer, where there is a crossing of the Styx, and maybe there will be a contact point for the navigation of the Styx. The biggest advantage of the Desire Demon over the Contract Demon is that it can fly, at least it will be much easier to go to the upper layer by vibrating its wings all the way up. There was still some time before he was summoned back, and Fitch was just about to recover the hole and take off, when he saw a black spatial passage open. Immediately afterwards, Qian Jing pushed a wheelbarrow out of it, and there was a car-sized box on the wheelbarrow, which looked extremely incongruous.

"Such a coincidence?" Qian Jing saw Feiqi, put down the car and waved hello, and the teleportation channel closed behind him. "Look, I'm the one who kept my promises, but I came alone, didn't bring anyone else, and didn't divulge any information here. ”

"That's good. Feige pointed to the large metal box and asked, "What's in there?"

"The equipment used to find Kara, I started ...... I can't say specifically, but I rented it from a friend, and I can detect sealed and time-stagnant targets, and then extract them and unseal them. If that doesn't work, then I'll have to rely on you. ”

"I don't mind if you try, but won't you be too conspicuous like this? Although there will be no demons passing by here for a long time, there is no guarantee that they will not be discovered! I can explain that I am a demon walking around here, you ...... You're a human being. ”

"Don't worry about me, as long as I don't interfere with the hell powerhouse, then I'm still protected. How so...... As long as the Styx shipping does not leave the Styx, the devil will not care about them. I'm better than Styx shipping, just put the flag up. ”

"You worry about your safety, and I'm more worried about this hole being remembered by the devil. Fei Qi thought for a moment, and then said: "In this way, I will set up an illusion circle around it, at least so that the devils who see in the air can't find it, and the devils on the ground make it difficult for them to walk and choose to detour, in short, to avoid this area." ”

"Oh, can you still do this? Then I'll have a lot less trouble, thank you!"

"It's a gesture. "Feiqi "embezzled" a lot of rune boards from the siege weapons camp, and it was not a one-time thing, so it was not difficult to use them to set up an illusion array. "By the way, since you said that you are better than the Styx shipping, I want to buy something from you and pay for it with spirit coins or elemental gems, okay?"

"Of course it's good!" Hearing that there was a small amount of money, Qian Jing's eyes lit up, but he quickly hid it. "First of all, the earth level is too high, and the supply of goods is limited. I inquired for you, it's okay if you want to enter the country in this situation, but it will be very troublesome, at least you need to be quarantined and reviewed. The living devil and the conceptual devil are, after all, two different things. If you want to buy food and drink consumer goods, it is not a big problem, and the rest is basically fine. ”

"What about the things in the Heavenly Realm? Do you have a channel to the Heavenly Mountain?"
