"You're just going to kill me. I really don't want to live ...... in this lonely place."

"Okay, I'll kill you. Feige stood up and made his way to the Soul Crystal's room. The fork in the road quickly begged for mercy: "Don't! I'm kidding! I don't want to die yet!"

"Then don't sell it badly. Feige snorted and sat back down on the red throne made of crystal. Having lost his original contract demon habits, he will be scratched by the sharp edges and corners of the throne. It's just that the thick skin of the demon can withstand this level of damage, and not a drop of blood will be shed.

The seventh floor of Hell, the Hall of the Throne in ruins, is no different from when Fitch left a few months ago. "Zariel has re-become the first lord of Hell, she has taken back all lord privileges, I thought something big would happen here. Fei Qi tapped his finger on the mirror that sealed the Fork of the Road Demon and asked, "Why hasn't this place been affected in any way, where did you get your realm crystal?"

"I got it with the Hell Pact. The Fork of the Road replied, "The first crystal was given to Zariel, who ordered me to conquer Taksk, a civilized world built underwater. I don't like swimming, it's too expensive to get together a devil who can move freely underwater, and I don't want to work with the Sawah Fishman at all—so I slipped away with the Lord Crystal. ”

"All Devil Lords cannot be trusted, Zariel is not a native Devil, and her angelic blood makes her even less trustworthy. I researched the Hell Pact and exchanged it for a normal territory crystal at the Hell Lord level. I think that in the entire hell, except for the Demon King's territory crystal, it is the Hell Contract Crystal that is most suitable for the devil who defects and goes it alone. ”

Feige nodded, agreeing with a normal attitude: "It can be seen from Zarel and Baier that the devil lords of hell do not last, and it is indeed that the hell contract is more stable. But I'm a little strange, Asmodeirs is also a devil, is he safer than the hell contract? The Devil King also has mood changes, right?"

"Yes and no. "Usually the devil thinks that contracts and order exist for profit, but the demon king puts order above profit—at least it is also a juxtaposition, so he will not harm one party for the sake of the other. The order of hell is the interest of the demon king, and as long as you don't affect the general situation of hell, then he won't pay attention to you. Don't forget that the likes and dislikes of hell itself come very quickly, and the Demon King doesn't have that much to spare. ”

Well, there's some truth to what the fork in the road demons say. The Demon King Asmodeirs has a good reputation in Hell and belongs to the kind of high-quality devils who have no "bad deeds". It is in a detached position, never caring about the trivial matters between the devils, and only focusing on the higher level of chess.

"The Demon King wants to win in the bloody battle, and he has already made an action, and Zariel's comeback is part of it. Feige said to the fork in the road to the outside news: "All the demons are going to retreat to the first layer of hell, supposedly to preserve their strength. You've been with Zariel for so long, have you heard anything?"

"How could Zarel tell me such an important thing? There is even an angle: how could the Demon King let such an impulsive fool know about such an important matter? At best, he told her what to do next. As for why this was done, it will certainly be kept secret. ”

"Since you don't know, forget it, it's not so good to think about how to win in a bloody battle, otherwise this war would have ended a long time ago. Feige patted the Crystal Throne: "Okay, since you're not affected here, then I won't worry." Gone, I have a lot of things to do!"

"Don't, don't be in such a hurry, I don't think you have that much to do. The fork in the road stopped Feiqi: "It's been a few months, I've finally found someone to talk to, don't leave so early." Can't we talk a little longer?"

"That's what you're going to talk to me about. The corners of Feiqi's mouth curled slightly, and he sat down again: "Say, what do you want to talk about?"

"Expanding the territory so that I can resurrect it, and you helping your friend find the missing man named Kara?" Isn't that okay?" the Fork of the Road Demon licked his fingertips in turn, and then said, "Building the territory, I can provide you with better services and convenience, this is what we said before, right?"

"There's such a saying. Feige nodded: "But I think this business is too bad." Investing spirit coins in hell is far better than investing spirit coins in the project of conquering other worlds, plundering in the new world, and gaining more things than in this ruin. What else is there here but ruins and rags? The devils need only one resource in the end, and that is the soul, and here there is only earth. ”

"Conquest of the Otherworld......" The Fork Demon replied with a smile, "It is indeed very profitable to conquer the Otherworld, but there are huge difficulties hidden in it. Most of the demons who went directly to the other world with lord authority to set up advance camps ended in failure. The most efficient way to conquer is to manage the territory first, then open the portal to other worlds, and use more brains and less force. Feige, don't be deceived by some devil's rhetoric. ”

"I've recently partnered with a devil to earn a lot of spirit coins, and I'm going to invest in the Otherworldly Conquest next, and you say it's not a good idea?"

"You can't work with any devil as well as with me, because you'll need a territory that works for you in order to transform the results of the Atlas conquest into something you can use. The fork in the road demon narrowed his eyes, rubbed his hands together, and asked, "Feiqi, how many spirit coins do you have now?"

"There are always two or three thousand. Fei Qi didn't know how many spirit coins Lakaduo would stuff into the space bag and give them to him after he was controlled, but it must be no less than three thousand spirit coins.

"I'll just keep you partially hidden. The Fork Demon said: "If a raid from another world does not adopt a step-by-step model, but enters a state of war as soon as it comes up, then the cost of spirit coins will be at least more than 500,000. Your few thousand spirit coins are simply not enough for you to become a collaborator. Especially if you are still a demon, and the other party must be a high-level devil. Feige, don't go to death. ”

The fork in the road demon is worried about Feiqi's life, and he is essentially thinking about his own interests. Its territory has shrunk to the limit, and its external influence is almost nil, and it can only be redeveloped by bringing it Spirit Coins and Mergers to Feige.

Looking at the empty and monotonous throne hall, it was no different from the first time Feige saw it, and the person sitting on the throne was no longer what it used to be. "The demons of the fork in the road, the chaos that the demons represent cause them to be bound to betray, and the devils are different. Binding interest and order together is the devil's favorite practice. I have decided to invest in you and your territory, starting now in earnest. ”

"Finally ......" the Fork in the Road Demon looked at Feige in the mirror. "You must have the conditions, say it. ”

"We make a contract with hell to stipulate the responsibilities of both parties, and I will provide spirit coins and resources to activate your territory and help you build up your strength until you are enough to return to normal state. You repay me for a hundred years of service to yourself and your realm. "If you break the contract, you will be demoted to the Inferior Demon and give me ownership of the territory." ”

"The spirit coins and other resources I brought you, except for the use I agreed, you must use all of them to restore your own state, and you can't deliberately delay. During the entire execution of the contract, I will receive at least half of the proceeds of all territories, but the room of spatial turbulence will always belong to me. If you find Kara, she'll be at my disposal and has nothing to do with you. Feige continued, "In the end, any objection to the infernal contract must be executed in my favor or interpreted by me. ”

"I ...... I shouldn't have given you the experience of becoming a contract demon! you can become any other devil with stronger combat power, why is it a contract demon?" the fork in the road demon frowned tightly, scratching his ears and cheeks with a painful expression. "If there is no provision in the contract about what will happen if you break the rules, the contract cannot be established. ”

"Don't forget that I'm going to pay for all the initial funds, and your service period starts when you're back in condition. If I break the contract, I lose the benefit of the income, so the contract can be established, even though the two parties to the contract are not equal. Feiqi had a smile on his face, like the smug smile that every contract demon usually has, "Your current situation leaves you little room for bargaining, but I'm willing to give you some time to think about it - I just don't know when we'll meet again next time." ”

"Wait, there's no need to worry about it, a hundred years is not a long time for the devil, and you're so shrewd, I don't worry about no profit. The fork demon hurriedly said, "I agree to this plan, you can make a contract." ”

"I'm a demon of lust and not a demon of contract, can I also perform the rites of hell, and if I can get it, you can too, and you can do better. Fitch said to the Fork in the Road, "I gave you the initial funds, but I didn't work for you here. If you can't perform a ceremony, especially one that summons the Joiner to build a territory, then cancel the agreement. ”

"No, I can perform the ceremony, and that's the last thing I have left. But I need spirit coins, or hell's favor, as ritual material. It really doesn't work, you can provide mana. ”

Feige shook his head, opened Rakkador's space bag, and took out ten spirit coins from it, which happened to be the cost of a hellish contract. "Your strength is too weak, I'll give you two more, let's start now. ”

The Fork in the Road Demon sighed, then asked Feiqi to place the spirit coin on the soul crystal. It quickly absorbed the energy in the spirit coin, and then began to perform the Hell Contract ritual. Feige watched from the sidelines, verifying the knowledge of the high-level devil from the method of using the soul power of the fork in the road. Soon, a Hell Contract scroll with red letters on a gold background appeared in front of Feiqi, who quickly scanned it with his mind and signed his name.

The contract turned into a golden light and flew into Feiqi's soul fire, lurking. Except for the two parties to the contract, no one else could see the contract even if they could observe the soul fire. Both the Fork Demon and the Fitch are very cautious people, and the knowledge of the Contract Demon allows them to think about all aspects of the contract beforehand.

"Feiqi, you're curious about rituals, and when you become a high-level devil, you'll naturally understand this, so you should have thought about it earlier. The Fork Demon seemed to be in a good mood, and said, "Don't worry about the advancement thing, I can preside over the advancement ceremony for you after I recover my strength, and you can become a deep hell purgatory if you want." ”

"But then I will only have a hundred years of security, and then I will have to serve you because you are my superior devil. Fei Qi shook his head: "I'll find a way to get the advanced things done, you just need to focus on recovering your strength." Of course, finding Kara is also very important, and the priority is even higher than your recovery strength. ”

"Looks like you still can't fully trust me. ”

"You also don't want your collaborator to be a fool. Feige said, "I know that even if you have a contract with hell, you can't help but think carefully, it's the devil's nature that can't be overcome, so I don't expect you to be honest according to the contract." I just want you to remember one thing: I've considered the risk, so when your mind is on desertion, think of my warning that the punishment will come quickly and violently, and that you have no room to resist or regret. ”

"I'll remember. The Fork in the Road Demon appreciates Feige's confidence, but it also understands that there is no need to insult Feige's IQ with a panicked expression. The fork in the road demon just looked like a businessman: "The contract has been signed, shouldn't there be initial funds?"

Lakado gave Fitch a total of three space bags, two of which were all spirit coins. Feiqi took out one of them and counted out five hundred spirit coins from it. "Fifty spirit coins stretch for twenty meters, I remember you saying that. These spirit coins are enough for you to start steadily. ”

"If I can have fifteen hundred spirit coins, I can implement the whole process in a better way, and it will be more than four times more efficient than five hundred spirit coins. Since you're not going to invest in conquest and war, it's useless to keep spirit coins, right? You're not stupid enough to ask other high-level devils to advance you with spirit coins, right?"

Feiqi was silent for a moment, then took out another thousand spirit coins from the space bag. "As you wish, fifteen hundred spirit coins, make good use of it. I don't know when I'll have that much money next time. ”

"If I can dig up the treasure house in my previous territory, I still have fifteen hundred spirit coins. Of course, look for Carla first. The Fork in the Road Demon asked Fei Qi to put the spirit coin on the soul crystal, and then said to Fei Qi with a smile: "Do you want to see how to summon the Merger? High-level devils will have this ability, so advance as soon as possible!"

"What is there to show for the abilities of the high-level devils? Feige turned away and sat down in front of the room where the space was turbulent, his eyes staring at the kaleidoscope-like patterns, concentrating on casting spatial spells to probe.

The fork in the road sent Feige away, without saying a word, for fear of luring Feiqi back. When Feige was completely immersed in his thoughts, he began to absorb the spirit coins and perform spell rituals.

And this ritual is by no means the kind that summons the invokers.
