Chapter 1713: The Root Nature of the People of the Abyss
Regardless of the desolate state of mind that the two demon lords were in, Lu Xi sincerely felt so.
A second-line abyss lord and a second-line demon general who commands auxiliary miscellaneous soldiers are not his enemies even if they go together. What's more, 10,000 orc armorers armed to the teeth and hundreds of dragon knights have surrounded this fortress, and under such a pomp and circumstance, if you just catch these two goods, the cost performance is really not high.
In addition, Lu Xi didn't think that it would be them who used the finger of death to sneak attack him, there must be other big demons in this fortress, maybe it was the level of the old enemy king or even the "Prime Minister of the Abyss" Orondhar.
Shino rolled his eyes covertly, thinking to himself, you're not satisfied, huh? With the heads of these two guys, the year-end bonuses of all the members of the Knights can be multiplied several times this year. Fortunately, you are not in the upper position, otherwise when you really become the head of the regiment, will you order all the knights to catch a hundred demons a day for you to choose?
Before Hector died, he did recommend Lu Xi to the Great Templar as the trusted leader of the Dragon Knights, and the Grand Templar and the high-level of the nations are currently in discussion.
Shino was also one of Lu Xi's staunchest supporters, but now, she is starting to waver. Anyway, it was at least half a minute of faltering.
Then she heard Lu Xi say to the two-headed demon: "You two are not the only big demons who have mixed in this fortress, right?" And what about the rest? ”
"Oh, you're saying that the Abyssal Lord here has others?" Shino came to be interested. What is the value of doubling the year-end bonus, where is it comparable to the year-end bonus, which is several times the funding of the Knights next year! In this way, the funds for the reconstruction of the Throat of the World are available, and the decoration costs for the main force of the Knights to settle in the Spiral Fortress may also be paid!
"Your Excellency, of course they are not the only ones. Just now, we piloted the Aurora and encountered the 'Hell's Net' Shadoldan and the 'Immortal' Asmodeus in the air. The latter escaped with serious injuries, but the former was already determined to be destroyed. Xia Guan was on the boat and could see it clearly. "Crel Road.
Although Director Ke has retired from the Dragon Knights, his decades of service have already turned him into the shape of a dragon knight, and he always subconsciously regards the eldest sister of the dragon knight as his boss.
Who's the boss who pays you? Hmph, this year's bonus is gone. Lu Xi thought.
Also, it was me who really killed Chadoldin. It's just that as a leader, there is no need to compete with the friends who work underneath. I still have this bit of common sense.
"Oh, compared to them, these two are indeed trash fish." Shino nodded.
Hey, who's the trash fish? Just now he just thought in his heart, you just said it directly! Also, why talk about "only"? You know we're Demon Generals and Abyss Lords, right? Do you know how hard we worked to get to where we are today? Why did you start talking about "only"?
The two archdemons were in pain. If it weren't for the special demon-suppressing chains that bound their limbs and locked the source of magic power, these two might have exploded in a few minutes.
"It's a pity that Asmodeus got away. However, this guy's immortality is indeed too tricky, and it is not surprising to run away. It would be great to be able to take out Chadordan. Shino said.
"It's not just them. I just took a shot of death at the critical moment of the puzzle of the world, and that state was really dangerous. Lu Xi said.
Then, he saw that his friends, including the two demons, were staring at him as if he were looking at Godzilla who had just swallowed a nuclear bomb and was burping.
You're not dead? Can you continue to complete the world puzzle?
Lu Xi didn't see everyone's gaze, and continued: "The Finger of Death is not something that a martial arts faction like you with muscles in your head can play. What's more, the position of the opponent's spell is outside my perception range, and it can still hit with one hit...... Let's talk about it, which big guy said hello to me? ”
The two demons looked at each other, and at the same time bowed their heads and remained silent. They are also famous, status, and prestige demons, and when you ask, you say, we don't want to lose face?
You must know that the Horned Demon and the Berserker Demon are the backbone fighting races in the demon race, to put it bluntly, the head is relatively iron, the bones are relatively hard, and the brain is certainly not very good.
All in all, as the low-level working people among the demons, they are much more backbone than the nobles' demon refining and fire demons. They represent the root nature of the Abyss Nation, they are the moral eyes of the Abyss Nation, and the blood light of the Lava Descendants.
Icon began to organize his language, wondering how he should say it in order to scold more harshly and show his backbone; Harrodan wondered if he would wait for the other party to get closer, whether to squirt a mouthful of bloody spit. However, I heard Lu Xi say again: "Let's make it clear, I will let you go." ”
These two demon lords are obviously the prey of the Dragon Knights, but none of the dragon knights present seem to have any objections to Lu Xi's "taking matters into their own hands", and they have probably defaulted to him.
The two demons were still silent, but Lu Xi had already felt their wavering, so he said to Shino again, "Where did you catch them?" ”
"On the ventilation duct from the 12th basement to the 11th floor." Speaking of this, Shino showed an awkward smile that he didn't know whether to admire or ridicule: "They actually crushed their bodies to the size of rats and shrunk them in the thick ventilation duct of the bowl, but they were blocked by us, and they became prisoners without any serious battle." If they use their Dharma Bodies to put on a posture from the beginning, they will not be able to break through after a tough battle. ”
The Demon General and the Abyss Lord shrank their heads, and the momentum of the root and blood that had been gathered with great difficulty immediately collapsed.
"Well, the attainment of this transfiguration technique is quite good, and with this hand, your IQ can explode ninety-nine percent of your kind. I love dealing with smart people like you. Lu Xi casually pulled a Mazha over and sat down in front of the two demons.
"Because smart people can communicate, know how to weigh up, know the pros and cons, and are willing to listen to other people's analysis even if they don't understand it. In addition, smart people understand better...... In the field of occultism, it takes as many as you want to make a life suffer but not have the means to die. Eh, I'm not threatening you, everyone is smart and civilized, and you still have to be a little decent. Lu Xi said.
The Horned Demon replied proudly in an eerie and heavy tone, "When it comes to torturing our enemies, no one can compare to our Abyssal Demon Descendants!" You're bringing shame on yourself! ”
You're a proud fart! Is this something to brag about?
"Your threat is ridiculously shallow, as if you want to compete with our mighty berserkers." The Berserker let out a sharp sneer. Or rather, too sharp.
Well, they're scared. Lu Xi could be sure of this, and said, "The 11th and 12th floors underground...... That's the vault area at the bottom of the fort. ”
"Yes, most of the rule-level treasures that can fight against the Demon God are placed there and properly protected. However, as recorded in the history books, in the original war, these treasures have indeed exhausted their strength, or been damaged, or lost their divine power. The rest of the items were also brought out by the dragon knights who evacuated the fortress back then, and now they are all in the treasure troves of Cloud City and Dragon City. Shino said.
"It's not just a treasure trove. You know, the Spiral Fortress was either under siege or on its way to being besieged. There have been many battles, and the demon gods and their disciples and grandchildren have dealt with a lot, and there are still so many high-grade prisoners, all of whom have torture value, even if they want to cut off the sacrificial flag, they have to be squeezed dry. As a result, some of the treasure troves were converted into prison cells. In the entire fortress, there are the most heavily guarded of all kinds. ”
"We've opened all 11 basement floors, and we've opened eight of the nine rooms on the 12th basement floor. Whether it's a treasure trove or a prison, it's all empty, except for the last gate, which is locked and sealed by demonic magic. From the analysis of the residual energy state, it should have been cast just now. ”
"What's there? A powerful treasure, or a captive? Today, of course, there are only the corpses of captives. But in some cases, corpses are even more useful than foreign treasures...... Well, I don't know if you look at your eyes, so let me change the question, who is it that goes in? Anyway, you understand now that those people behind you are clearly bait you on the spot, aren't they? You don't have any obligation to them to repay them with death, and I've never heard of any affection for the Abyssal Demon Descendants. ”
"I, I, this ......"
The Horn Demon didn't look very clever at first glance, but the Berserker Demon who was obviously able to use magic seemed to have made up his mind: "I've heard of a name, but I've never heard of you having a reputation for keeping your promises." ”
"I'm not keeping my promises? Ha, that's the biggest joke in the world. Look at the little friends around me, look at their sparkling eyes, and think about my popularity. If I hadn't kept my word, would I have the hope I have today? ”
Shino couldn't help but roll his eyes, but had to admit that this guy actually had a point.
"No, your reputation only makes sense in the Overworld, and you only keep your word to your allies. With us Abyssal Demon Descendants, you will play word games when you are in a good mood, and talk as a fart when you are in a bad mood. You're clearly a demon in human skin...... Ah no, even Belkiel has suffered your loss! You are simply more demonic than demonic refining. So, I won't fall for you! You, you'd better kill us. If I blink an eye, I won't be raised by the abyss! ”
"Sister Shino, Brother Krel, you say, I'm a dignified human being, and I'm actually despised by the devil on a moral level, is it too glorious or too failed?" Lu Xi said helplessly.
"Don't call me eldest sister, I can feel the malice of this title." The elven knight said with a cold face.
"I can't say that...... Default is always bad, though. Krell said with a smile.
Well, the dragon knights are all orderly, good, in a sense, hopelessly elm heads.
"Well, there are dozens of friends standing here, they are all dragon knights who are like the embodiment of the Eight Virtues, dutiful to their duties and loyal to their oaths, and I swear in their name that as long as you answer honestly, I will let you go. May I? ”
I always feel that something is wrong...... Shino thought with a frown, but didn't immediately object.
The two demons exchanged another look, and their expressions were a little relaxed. The demon lords have been fighting with the Dragon Knights for thousands of years, and they are naturally enemies of life and death, and they all want each other to die in the next second, but they are also inexplicably fighting confidants.
Both the Horned Demon General and the Berserker Demon Lord felt that the character of the Dragon Knights was still quite trustworthy.
"Wait...... You're playing with words again, right? Hmph, don't look at me like this, I studied in the diplomat training camp of Sablo and Allen Ke, got the certificate of completion, and even got the abyss lobbyist qualification certificate! ”
Sablo the "Preacher" and "Bewitcher" Allen are both powerful Abyss Lords and the most famous Columnists and Sophists among the Abyssal Demon Descendants, who have caused several major historical events caused by wordplay and contract fraud. Of course, they are all the same clan of the old enemy King Belkiel, refining demons in the abyss.
I can't see that this mad demon brother is still very studious, and he even took the certificate.
Lu Xi was suddenly in awe.
"Then, in the name of the Dragon Knights and all the friends present, and in their witness, I swear that I will let you go as long as you tell me the truth, and tell me what I am interested in. I and my relatives, friends, my companions, my men, my allies, will not harm you. If I break my oath, they can stop me, okay? ”
The dragons continued to watch with interest, not all of them were in order, but the dragon knights all nodded in agreement, though their captain still felt that something was wrong.
"And your summons, your puppets, your pets!" The other party added.
"Okay, good, and here's it! Hurry up and get down to business, or I'll regret it. Lu Xi said impatiently.
"I don't know what's in that treasure house, but it's Sangye who enters there...... Ah, it's Orodal! The Berserker said hurriedly.
"That old man of the Flame Demon who is dying of old age? That guy feels like half of his body is in the ground, and he can rattle at any time when he walks a few steps, what else is he going to wave out? Lu Xi frowned.
"Orodal? The Prime Minister of the Abyss? Sino's reaction was much more intense than Lu Xi's, and it was obviously not the excitement of "such a big fish", but a kind of solemnity like a great enemy.
"Well, he was like that a thousand years ago, but he's still alive and feeling more and more energetic." Berserker muttered.
"And his two disciples, uh, Ally Riel, and the succubus girl who just became the Lord of the Abyss."
"Oh, Belkiel's orthopedic sister and that weird red-haired Lori!"
Although they didn't quite understand, the two demons actually understood, and hurriedly nodded yes.
"We were just fooled by Belkill, saying that there was some ancient treasure here that could be fished upon, and this was after the army was put in order, and as soon as the door of the abyss opened, we rushed in. In fact, I really don't have any personal grudges with you, and I'm completely a victim. Your real enemy is the treacherous little demon of Asmodeus! "Berserk Demon Dao.
"Yes, he's a bad embryo with spoiled sulfur from the marrow to the cheek!" The Horned Demon also worked hard to add fuel and vinegar.
"In addition, Xiangye, no, Orodal must know more, his purpose is very clear! The route to the treasure house, the method of unlocking the gate, and the casting materials of the magic spell that seals the door are all prepared in advance! That's all I know...... You see......"
Lu Xi groaned.
"If it's a magic spell, even if it's you, it will take a lot of time to break it, right?" Shino's expression was also ugly.
Lu Xi nodded in agreement, and then directly took out three guide cannons from the space bag and threw them on the ground.
"Will you?"
Sino was already stunned, and Krell had to hurry up and say, "Yes, yes......"
"Gather more manpower, at least thirty dragon knights or more, and then bang the door directly. Of course, maybe it's too late......" Lu Xi shook his head.
"Huh?"
"Forget it, let's go."
The dragon knights each carried a guide cannon weighing at least half a ton, and ran away, and their companions hurriedly followed, and most of them were gone at once. Krell is also with him, after all, he is also a rare expert in guided weapons among the (former) dragon knights.
Lu Xi sighed, although he felt that there should be no hope, but he felt that he should also confirm with the past, and deal with the last head and tail of the fortress by the way, but he listened to the horned demon and the berserker demon carefully speak: "Then, what about us?" ”
"Lim, throw them overboard." Lu Xi commanded casually, and then walked in the direction of the fortress without looking back.
"Wait, you said you wouldn't hurt us." The demons shouted.
"Is it a loss to the sea? The dignified Abyss Lord will never be drowned, right? Lu Lu obviously let you go. Nicole interrupted, "Quick, Lim, do it." ”
Lim nodded, and immediately dragged the two demons towards the seashore with her chains. Looking at her relaxed movements, it was clearly like dragging two more struggling Chihuahuas.
"What about the Demon Lock? Untie it! Hurry up and untie it! ”
"I'm sorry, but there is no such obligation." Nicole spoke eloquently again.
The demon's screams and begs for mercy soon came to an abrupt end with two loud "bangs" of falling water. Until this time, Shino, who had been watching the whole scene on the side, didn't know whether he should stop it or not.
So, are we in breach of contract? The thousand-year-old reputation of the Dragon Knights won't be ruined like this, right?
The dragon knight was in a lot of torment.
