Chapter 78 Devil's Face
"Hey, body! Someone is calling me!"
The fork in the road demon imprisoned in the mirror of the throne shouted loudly as soon as he heard Yan Rui's footsteps: "Summon, it is a summon! soul, more soul!"
Hearing the sound of the summoning, the more the fork in the road demon was aroused into greed, the more alert Feige became. The summoning was stirring up the demonic part of his soul like shaking an unopened Coke bottle, like turning on the ticking countdown of a time bomb. Coming to the hall of hell, the feeling of urging in the summoning became stronger and stronger, and the soul crystal pillar began to shine with red light, responding to the shouts of the fork demon one after another.
"Tell me first, what will happen if you don't answer this call?" Feige asked as he sat down on his throne and pointed his finger at the fork in the road. "Also, is this summoning ritual for any of the demons in the vicinity, or just for you, do you have your own summoning statue like that nightmare?"
The fork in the road demon cast a disdainful look, but still said in a very fast voice: "Failure to answer will lead to the whipping of the Nine Layers of Hell, and if you do it too many times, you will be demoted." I'm not a nightmare fool, this ritual is meant to summon me, not a statue, but a blood sacrifice, a safe way to summon - you just have to think hard and you can figure it out. ”
Amid the increasingly violent summons, Feige struggled to calm himself down and rummage through the memories of the fork in the road. It's right, it's a blood sacrifice, a ritual that uses blood to drain soul power to summon specific targets. Spirits do not deceive, so this ritual ensures that the summoner is genuine, not a trap, and therefore much safer than the method of summoning a statue.
"I'm in the Ice Peak Fortress now, and the magic runes of the Goddess of Truth and Thunder are all around me, is there anything you can do to make me answer the summons safely?" Fei Qi snorted coldly, stared at the fork demon and said, "What's the use of urging me? I remember how that nightmare was killed by lightning. That is, the meditation room was originally used as a magical passage to other worlds, so the targeted defense was still weak...... Some ......"
Feige suddenly thought for a moment, and he knew that he was distracted by that. The fork in the road demon flashed his eyes, rolled his eyes, and shook his head, but he quickly came up with an idea: "You can make local changes, use the devil's ears to listen, speak in the devil's voice, and then use the telepathic connection to make sure that this communication does not spread." At this level, the Divine Rune should not be triggered. After all, the magic rune is not the priest of the goddess, and he does not have such a good initiative. ”
"How?"
"Actually, you know it, but you don't want to think about it. The fork in the road demon sighed and said very "sincerely": "I understand your moral purity, thinking that the devil is evil, so his methods are dirty. But if you agree that hypocrisy is also an evil, then the devil is clean. If you can't even take care of yourself, what else can you talk about?"
"Yes, that's how the devil did it in the beginning. Ninety percent of what it says is true, and the remaining one percent will cost you your life. Young Master Hall in the other mirror suddenly interjected: "If you always do devilish things, you will be transformed into a devil by the power of hell, but this time you have to answer the call." You have too few souls left in the halls of hell, and it is too unstable here. If you are punished by the rules of hell again, it may collapse here, and that will not be the result you want. ”
"Got it, I'll find a way to deal with the call first. And I have already guessed that it was the Marquise of Pohimana who was summoning, at least not unprepared. Oh yes, I forgot to tell you, I'm now a priest of the Goddess of Truth Thunder. ”
The imaginary scene of the two mirrored souls being happy and sad did not happen, and the fork demon and Young Master Hall all showed surprised expressions, and said in unison: "Really? This is great!!" Fei Qi was stunned for a moment, and the souls in the two mirrors were also stunned for a moment. They looked at each other with wary expressions on their faces at the same time.
"You two think about it first, the problem of the three of us will have to be solved sooner or later. Feige got up from his throne, stood in the halls of Hell and pondered for a while, learned the method of the Fork in the Road, and then responded to the summons through the Soul Crystal and left Hell.
After he left, the fork demon stared at Young Master Hall in the mirror opposite, frowning vigorously. A cry of pain echoed through the hall, and the images in both mirrors vanished.
Feige returned to the meditation room, then slowly descended the steps of the tower. Everyone was asleep, and apart from the steady snoring in the castle, there was the sound of drunken vomiting coming from an unknown room. Tonight it was Wu Mama on duty, and from the platform he could be seen patrolling the city walls wrapped in a cloak. He couldn't see what was going on inside the tower, and Giles, who took his successor, would not be able to get out of bed for at least two hours.
This time is safe. Feige thought as he walked down the last step. He crept to the door of the small storeroom, sat down against the frame, and used the devil's method.
In order to blend in with the crowd, to deceive trust and lower his guard, the devil always has all kinds of disguises at his disposal. However, the low-level devil's ability to change is insufficient, and the high-level devil disdains this kind of roundabout and troublesome means, but the middle-level devil has the strongest ability to change.
Lust is the best of them, at least other devils are completely inferior to lust than beautiful and moving. But if it's a comparison of who is more low-key, then the contract demon is the best to do. It is rumored that some contract demons are able to transform into angels and appear in front of them without being detected. Feiqi didn't expect himself to be that strong, he only hoped that he would perform local changes, and at the same time, it would be enough to respond to the summons with a telepathic connection without being struck by lightning.
The Marquise of Pohimana raised her fist flat, and the blood that flowed from the wound in her palm squeezed through her fingers and oozed out, slowly dripping into a large black clay bowl. The flat bottom of the bowl was painted with chalk to summon the circle, and there was not a single mistake in the dozens of runes. Pohimana checked it again and again, and she just wondered, why didn't the fork in the road still appear?
"People, you always think that you are right and others are wrong. Feige had already answered the call, so the other party's thoughts were revealed in front of him. "For so long, you haven't thought of appearing in front of me, and you still think I didn't appear?"
Pohimana looked around, and there was no second figure in the faint candlelight of the storage room, but it seemed that all the flickering shadows seemed to be caused by the devil. Her face was pale, with a morbid excitement, and she gasped sharply and said, "Ah...... Ah, sir, where are you? I want to be in front of you now!"
"Just because you're stupid doesn't mean I'm stupid. What is this place that you don't know?
"My lord, that's right. Do you know the man who is Feige Hall? I want him to die in an accident. ”
Feiqi, who was outside the door, tried to rush into the house at that time, and a lightning bolt killed the woman. He even thought about how to end the matter for a moment: the ritual of summoning demons in the fortress of the goddess triggered the defensive magic runes here, which is the so-called innocent death!
Impulsiveness is the devil.
Feige paused, then slowly let go of the handle, took a deep breath, and rethought. "Feige Hale is the priest of Truth Thunder, and it won't be difficult for him to die, but you have to be paid accordingly. "Feige is using himself as a price, and in order to find out the plans of this noblewoman, it is best to ask Gresham for information by the way.
Let you atone for your sins and confess that you don't want to, and the result of summoning the devil has not fallen into my hands?Fei Qi thought about this, his hatred gradually faded, and the mockery became more and more, and his tone was more like a fork in the road demon deity.
"Marquise, stop trying to fool me. Do you need me to kill someone? You can't do it yourself? Give you one last chance, what do you really want, and what do you trade it for!"
"I want Feige Hale not to get in my way, I can let him die, but I can't give the Hall family a reason to retaliate, so it has to be like an accident!
"Poof, it's not difficult? It has to be like an accident? It's funny to create an accident in the castle of the goddess of truth and thunder. And, do you think the Hall family really needs a reason to retaliate?"
"Gold, I have some gold. I've heard that in hell, gold has value too!"
Fei Qi squatted at the door, pondered this matter carefully, and had a plan: "Gold is good, but compared to the soul, it is not so good. You have a grandson, Gresham, and how much gold are you willing to give for his soul?"
"I'm not going to trade Gresham's soul, he's ...... He's not in the deal. Moreover, he is a paladin of the goddess of truth and thunder, protected by the goddess, you ...... You can't touch him. ”
"Feige is still the priest of the goddess, is there any difference between the two?" Feige snorted coldly, and gradually lowered his voice: "Pohimana, you are really still not honest. Don't forget, I know you all the things you get through through your charms. Farewell, Marquise, I'll be there when you die. ”
"Wait, wait, I'll confess!" Pohimana almost screamed, "I don't want to kill Feige, I just want Gresham to be safe, it's as simple as that." Gold, I have gold with me in the carriage, and I give it to you, and I beg you to protect him from my influence. If you don't help me, I'll donate this gold to the church, and I'll give everything to the church!"
Feiqi was deliberately silent for a moment, and then said, "Hide your gold in the moat outside the fortress, and I will take it myself." From now on, if you don't mess with Feige, the Hale family won't be eyeing you - they'll always have something else to do. At the same time, five times the same gold, put in the same place, then your debt will not affect Gresham. If you want peace and find a goddess, it's far better to find me than to come to me. Hey, hey, hehe......"
"Okay, okay! It's just a moat? Where is the moat?"
"I love blood, you can find it by following your nose. Speaking of which, your nose is really good-looking, but unfortunately it's fake - it's all fake. ”
A contract was born from the Blood Bowl and appeared in front of Bowhimana, who quickly signed her name after taking a look. There were two copies of the contract, one returned to Fitch, and the other became a sheepskin scroll and fell into the hands of the Marquise. At this time, the castle's magic runes began to activate, and the power of lightning was gathering, Feige hurriedly put away the devil's face, activated the magic to cover the aura belt, and then quickly slipped away on tiptoe.
The fortress protection rune searched for a while, but failed to find the target and died down. The Marquise of Pohimana found the wound where the cloth was wrapped around her palm, and pondered alone in the darkness for a while before she gathered her things and left the small room.
On the way, she saw a beautiful black cat sitting on a stone step. It licked its paws and slowly paced away. Lady Pohimana watched it disappear around the corner, out of sight, but always felt that it was still being followed. This strange feeling scared her, and the fact that the devil was really able to enter and leave the fortress of the goddess was even more terrifying. She hurriedly knocked on Ziz's door and asked him to stop his plans.
This is inevitably another trick.
