Chapter 1623: Demon Camp
Following Hela through the Spacetime Gate, Rhodes came to her own territory.
There were no strong walls or sturdy houses, just hollowed-out rock walls, bloodstained leather tents, and demons sitting around the fire in the clearing.
These demons gathered here, and the types were mainly abyssal demons, and Rhodes even saw some long-horned demons. In the distance, there was a burst of breaking through the air from time to time, and several Abyssal demons were whipping each other with long whips for amusement, and laughing merrily.
And at the end of Rod's line of sight, a huge pillar of dark red fire reached into the sky. Below the pillar of fire, small dark yellow creatures lined up, driven in one direction by the demons of the Abyss.
"Looks like you're a little disappointed."
As Rhodes surveyed the area around the camp, Hela's words reached his ears.
"I was just a little surprised." Rod shrugged his shoulders and said, "I thought your territory would be better than here, everything here is not worthy of you." β
"Oh?" Hela smiled and looked at Rhodes with interest, "Are you trying to please me?" Why didn't you do that in front of the statue of the king? β
Rod showed a helpless look: "I mean, these humble facilities are not worthy of your strength, with your strength, you should enjoy better." You're a high-level demon, right? Your strength has surpassed that of most demons. β
Hela let out a soft snort and didn't answer Rod's words.
It wasn't long before she brought Rhodes to a vacant tent and said:
"The Demon King's Fire Trial will start soon, you can wait here for a while, if you feel bored, you can also talk to the demons nearby, I think you will be satisfied with them."
"I'd like to go back to the monster forge before and go there to collect the soul shards dedicated to the King, okay?" Rod seemed to have thought of something and took the initiative to ask.
As he spoke, Rod's eyes looked at the huge pillar of fire not far from the camp, and below the pillar of fire was the monster furnace born of Rod's body, and above it was the soul fragments that came from nowhere. Hela's camp is set up not far from the monster furnace.
Hela thought for a moment and replied, "You can't get near there. I'm also going to pick out creatures with enough potential from those little monsters to participate in the Demon King's Trials. Don't be in a hurry to get soul shards, now you? Just need to wait here? By the time the trial begins, will there be enough demons? Allows you to obtain soul shards. β
Rhodes doesn't make words.
"By the way? Your allegiance should be to the Gluttonous King, right? As if thinking of something, Hela asked Rhodes on her own initiative.
"Yes." Rod replied.
"I used to be from other Kerrigans? Won back a number of special small demon statues, including the Gluttonous King's. "Talking? Hela sticks her hand behind her? Out of nowhere, I found a delicate stone sculpture the size of a thumb.
"The small statues of the other Demon Kings have long been given to the other subordinates, but the statues of the Gluttonous Kings cannot be shared. Few demons would pledge their allegiance to the Gluttonous King? None of them needed this statue. Hela said? On the other hand, he handed over the exquisite stone carving in his hand to Rod.
Rod looked at the stone sculpture in his hand with some confusion, and soon, a prompt came from the system log.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
γStatue of the King (Gluttony)γ
Type: Pendant
Requirements: Demon Bloodline
Basic attributes: Lucky -1, indestructible
Special Attributes: After a pious prayer, the statue will be considered a special altar? This allows the wielder to contact the Demon King in exchange for a reward for the sacrifice.
Rating: A demon statue made by the sorcerer Phili? If used correctly, it can connect to some powerful beings.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Looking at the demon statue in your hand? Rod seemed to realize something, and looked surprised.
A small demon statue in front of you? It can be used as an altar. After having this special demon statue? What if a common demon wants to be rewarded for his sacrifice? You can do it immediately without having to go back to the Temple of Revelation or find another altar.
The small statue in front of him is easy to carry, even if he doesn't have a space ring, Rhodes can carry the statue with him without worrying about losing the statue.
Of course, for Rhodes at this time, he didn't need this statue. Due to the sacrifice of Doomsday, Rhodes has the highest level of demonic contracts, and he can immediately exchange for various rewards without other credentials.
After returning from the Temple of Revelation, Rhodes hadn't properly checked the rewards added to the contract, but now, Rhodes had more important things to do.
From Hela's words, Rhodes seemed to discover something and asked, "You say that few demons will be loyal to the Gluttonous King?" Isn't this king strong? β
Hela shook her head: "That's not the case. The ability of the Gluttonous King is one of the best among all kings, and even the angry King who is in charge of strange beasts cannot get any benefit in front of the Gluttonous King. β
"Then why aren't there many demons who are loyal to it? Isn't it not easier for a powerful king to gain allegiance? Rod asked.
"Because the Gluttonous King will eat the demons that follow her." Hela explains, "The more devoutly she follows the demon, the more delicious it becomes for her." I am still a priest under the King of Lust, I don't know how many demonic priests like me there are, the number is unimaginable, but under the King of Gluttony, there is only one priest, and the rest is devoured by her. β
Hearing Hela say this, Rod seemed to think of something, and his face changed faintly.
Once, in the Book of Silence of the Thieves' Guild, Rhodes saw the name of the Gluttonous King, not Beelzebub, whom Messijah had guided him, but another.
The giant Chanzel is now the King of Gluttony.
Rhodes had some impressions of the name Chanzel, which belonged to the ancient demons, and in the depths of the snowy region of Bracada, the dragon country entrenched on the highest snow-capped mountains, it was called this name.
Rhodes didn't know what had happened in the past, maybe the ancient demon had been active in the surface world, or something had happened, when Rhodes came to hell, all the secrets that he had ignored came to his heart at this moment.
What made Rhodes even more concerned was that, according to the system log, the gluttonous king who made a contract with him was not Chanzel himself, but Beelzebub, who died at the hands of the heroes of light countless years ago. I don't know what the difference is between the contract he has now and the contract he made directly with Shanzel.
