Charles took Artoria and walked in the direction of the rumored appearance of the devil according to the map given by Kadak.

Along the way, it is obvious that there are very few merchants on the road, and most of them are subconsciously avoiding this direction compared to the flow of people in other directions.

But Artoria noticed that while others were avoiding it, there were some who were sneaking in this direction.

Artoria was very puzzled, and learned from Charles that her soul had been entangled in the breath of the devil, and the other party was always ready to seduce her soul**, and she subconsciously paid attention to any news related to the devil.

And from the information she gathered in Red Rock City, the devil was notorious in the eyes of both humans and the inhabitants of the underworld who seemed to her to be monsters.

But obviously, when Artoria saw the fiery look in the eyes of these people, she knew that these people had voluntarily passed, but she couldn't understand why these people took the initiative to send them forward when others avoided them.

"Teacher, why do these people seem to be in a hurry to go to the place where the devil appears, isn't the devil's reputation always bad?" Artoria knew at a glance that the strength of these people was extremely weak, according to the strength of the world that the teacher told him, at most they were just black iron, and they were completely cannon fodder in the underground world full of gold.

Charles glanced at the people who were hiding in the shadows, avoiding the main road and trying to cover their ears to the place where the devil appeared, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his eyelids, Charles explained to Artoria very indifferently.

"For the sake of so-called strength, I want to become a weak person who is not controlled by fate."

"Strength"

"The devil's contract is very famous, and the devil will never break the contract, so it can be said that he is the most trustworthy race. And the devil often makes deals with other people to increase their strength, which is also one of their trading contents. This has led to a rush of many people, who are eager to strengthen themselves, who want to get rid of their status as weakling. ”

"However, the devil is an evil race, I don't think the devil can be so kind." Artoria's eyes flashed with a hint of sadness, but when she looked at them, there was a hint of grief and pity in her eyes.

"That's nature, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the sky, and if you want to gain strength from the devil's trade, you have to be prepared to lose your soul. The Devil will keep the trade contract, but only if you can avoid the pitfalls in the contract, know the use of the devil's words, and know how they deceive, otherwise it's a joke. ”

Artoria's face flashed with a hint of unbearability when she heard this, and she hurriedly took Charles's hand, trying to dissuade them.

"Teacher, how can this be, let's stop them from telling them how dangerous it is to make a deal with the devil." But as soon as Artoria took Charles's hand and the words came out of her mouth, she reacted that these people had lived in the underground world since childhood, a world that was very close to the lower planes.

Could it be that these people are not aware of the risks of trading with the devil, and that these people do not know the lessons left by their predecessors, I am afraid that they all know very well in their hearts, and they know better than themselves that they will most likely not be able to come back this time.

But when Artoria saw the fiery gaze in the eyes of those people, she knew that they had gone mad, and that they had completely abandoned everything in order to gain power.

"Teacher"

"Artoria, don't feel sorry for them, don't pity them. The underworld is fiercely competitive, and if you don't have the power, you're in constant danger of losing your life, but that's never a reason to sell your soul to gain power. ”

Artoria was silent for a while when she heard Charles's words, and then silently followed behind Charles, but she could never guess how happy Charles who was walking in front of him was at this time.

The so-called traces of the devil's appearance are actually the group of bad demons in Charles's small space. Charles's small space, as a space attached to the underground world, has a superimposed part of the underground world, and it is the entrance to the small space, which happens to be around Red Rock City.

Different worlds have different speed of time, Charles has been in the mission world for more than ten years, and only half a year has passed here, and in this half year, the traces of the little devil were discovered by some people who strayed into the small space, and Charles was worried at first when he knew.

But just like what we saw in front of us, there were always some people who would do whatever it took to enjoy themselves.

They shouted that they didn't want to be weak people controlled by fate, but in essence, they have always been sad people under the control of fate, of course, Charles will not agree with their words, in Charles's eyes, this group of people are actually scum, no strength will not exercise themselves, only longing for a windfall one day.

Therefore, with the idea of making his own contribution to cleaning up the scum of the world, Charles also deliberately sent a few small demons to deliberately expose his traces, attracting this group of people to provide experience for themselves to dedicate their only role, and save the waste of precious food in the underground world.

However, Charles didn't want to reveal the location of his base camp for such a little soul, who knows when a brave man would be interested in coming to the underground world to eradicate evil, and then when he heard that there was a devil's castle here, it was repaid, and the brave man's journey to conquer the demon king began.

At that time, Charles killed the small one, the big one came, and the big one disappeared and the old one came, so he didn't want to improve his strength. If you don't have the ability of the demon king, you have the fame of the demon king, then you are purely afraid of your own long life.

You don't see how huge the power of the gods and sects in the surface world is, how stable those demons in the abyss and the devils in hell are in the surface world, they are all secretly developing their own forces, and when the time comes, they are ruthless, and they are still rampant without strength, basically they have been swept into the garbage heap, and his priesthood has long been occupied by subordinates who peep at his position.

So after Charles was bored and had a handful of experience, he was content and ready to stop. Anyway, with Artoria's character, she definitely doesn't want to stay in the underground world that ordinary people see as evil desires, and her insistence on justice and stubbornness is very much in line with the standards of the paladin, Charles planned to bring Artoria to the surface world from the beginning.

It just so happens that he can also go to the top to make trouble, make a name for himself in advance, and save himself from having nothing to do but nest in a small space to get moldy. When the time comes, Artoria's behavior style can completely make people not doubt her identity, and it will be more convenient for Charles to do things.

What's more, if the devil doesn't lure the world to fall, where will the soul come from to improve his strength.

As he pulled out his sword and split an underworld salamander in half, Charles thought about his plan as he led Artoria towards a salamander's lair.

If you can't find any trace of the devil, you have to find a scapegoat to hand over the task, right?
