Chapter 61: The Devil's Deal
Golia?" Albert had a puzzled look on his face when he heard the person who came to report his name, "So, why did you, the messenger of the abyss, come here to find me?"
"I don't know, Lord Duke, have you seen this young man?" the engram in Goliath's hand projected an effect, which was the scene when Karl was fighting the fallen dwarves in the city of Kuskes with the Dream Lamp, "I need that oil lamp in his hand!"
"Oil lamp, I didn't expect the messenger of the abyss to look at an ordinary lamp! Could it be that now that the abyss has degenerated into what it is now, every oil lamp needs to send a messenger to seek help from the vampires, the sworn enemy of hell?" Albert sneered.
Although the Bloodlines were defeated in the change of power in Hell and could not continue to live in Hell, this does not mean that vampires have a crush on the chaotic and evil creatures of the Abyss. On the contrary, vampires despise the fury and disorder of the creatures of the abyss more than demons!
"If Lord Duke can help me get the oil lamp in the hands of that human, then the crisis of the Bronhe family is over!" Goliath's original honest face was completely replaced by cunning, "Lord Albert, you don't want Lord Dracula to be resurrected and take Lady Elizabeth from your hands, right?"
As soon as Goliath's words fell, Albert still had any response, and the virgin throat cutter in his spatial ring, Saravel, was already restless, and wanted to break through the barrier of the spatial ring several times and come to the main plane to prevent Albert from agreeing to Goliath's conditions.
"Elizabeth, my promise to you will never change!" Albert whispered softly to Saravel in the Space Ring.
"So, what does Lord Albert mean?"
"I wonder if the blood of the Abyss Emissary will be more mellow than the blood of humans!" Albert licked his tongue gently. Then his right foot kicked a ripple on the ground, and the next moment, Albert had already reached Goliath's face, and his right hand, which was condensed with the energy of the blood clan, formed a fist and smashed into Goliath's head.
"Bang!" When the fist collided with the metal, Albert's figure had already appeared behind Goliath, huge bat wings, spreading out in full force. Countless arrows emerged from the mysterious inscriptions on the bat's wings and shot at Goliath, who was standing in place.
The thunder flashed, and the fierce red arrows were all blocked by Goliath holding the Thunder Fury, but in this way, the trees around Goliath were damaged, and all of them were cut off by the red arrows.
"If Lord Albert wants to fight me, why waste each other's time with these carving insect skills?" said Goliath, who stood with his sword in his column, to Albert, who was falling lightly.
"I don't feel the breath of the abyss in you, and I can even sense the smell I hate the most in you, so what kind of person are you?" Albert looked puzzled again. But in the next second, Albert's figure reappeared behind Goliath, and two blood-red scimitars that had once been in the hands of John III appeared in Albert's hands.
The two scimitars, whose real names were Blood Drinking Blades, flickered with cold light, slicing through the space
The obstruction cleaved Goliath's broad back. "Bell!" the Thunder Fury collided violently with the Bloodthirsty Blade, splashing blinding sparks.
Goliath, who blocked Albert's attack, did not choose to stop, but instilled his power into the Thunder Fury. Albert's repeated temptations had made Goliath lose patience. As for the ownership of the Dream Lamp, Goliath is actually not unable to obtain it from Karl's hands, but the current Goliath does not really want to face Karl.
"Oh, the messenger of the abyss has finally burst into his true nature. Otherwise, I thought I was meeting a cowardly Harry rat!" Albert scoffed at Goliath.
Seeing Albert's behavior, Goliath's brows wrinkled imperceptibly, could it be that his own news was wrong, why did he meet an Albert with such abnormal nerves. Is this still the Albert of one person and even one family?
Although he had doubts in his heart, the attack in Goliath's hand did not have the slightest intention of stopping, and the Thunder Fury was already full of thunder power, tearing through the blood that lingered around Albert and slashing towards Albert's waist.
Although Goliath's attack is aggressive, he has a fatal flaw, that is, he is too bulky to face a vampire like Albert. No matter how ferocious the attack is, it will be in vain if it does not touch Albert's body. And Albert's attack didn't seem to hurt Goliath. The two of them are in this woods, and you go back and forth to play tricks.
As the sun gradually sank in the west, the three Pandia sisters showed their delicate faces.
"Bang!" Cutting off a stout ancient tree again, Goliath frowned and looked at the already dark woods, stopped his movements, and said to Albert, who didn't know where to hide: "Is it that the Lord wants to defeat me with the power of the night?"
"Tut-tut...... Tut-tut......" echoed in the woods with Albert's sinister voice, "and there is no longer any play with the debris of the abyss." How I wish I could have more fun with you!"
Looking down at the blood on his body, Goliath showed a disdainful expression. He had utterly lost hope in Albert. If the legendary Albert is a madman, then the dream lamp should be taken by himself!
Goliath put away the Thunder Fury, then turned away, leaving the woods that had gone completely dark without looking back.
It's just that Goliath walked a few steps and stopped, looking at Albert, who didn't know how many there were in front of him, looking at him with a smile on his face, Goliath no longer wanted to pay attention to this crazy man. It's just that when he turned his head and saw that there were also many Alberts behind him, Goliath stood there and closed his eyes.
The next moment, the pitch-black abyssal fire appeared on Goliath's body, engulfing Goliath in an instant. As the fire of the abyss grew stronger, Goliath's size began to grow.
Eventually, in the eyes of the three Pandis sisters, Goliath turned into a giant Bato demon ten meters tall, with a flame greatsword in his left hand and a thunder furath in his right hand. Goliath let out a fierce cry at all Alberts around him
After the roar, an unknown number of summoning magic arrays began to appear around Goliath!
When the head of the first little demon hunter appeared in the summoning magic array, Albert, who did not show a surprised expression even if Goliath had transformed, actually showed a strange expression at this moment. Because Albert didn't even think that Goliath was not just a Bato demon, but also a demon lord.
It is true that high-ranking demons can enslave low-level demons, but summoning demons has always been the right of demon lords. In the chaotic abyss, if you want to become a demon lord who dominates one side, even the smallest demon lord, you are a well-known powerhouse.
Therefore, at this moment, Albert finally put away his contempt and held the blood-drinking blade in his hand again, with a serious expression.
"Damn reptile, how dare you provoke the great demon lord Goliath so much!" Goliath roared angrily like Albert around him, and then took heavy steps and rushed towards Albert in one direction. The two greatswords had been whipped into windmills by Goliath and slashed at Albert. And the little hunter who came out of the summoning magic array also screamed strangely, and then rushed towards Albert with a flaming steel fork in his hand!
Although Albert is huge, every figure is real. Each Albert slashed at the little hunters who rushed at him with a blood-drinking blade, and three or five of them rushed towards the terrifying Goliath!
Although there are a lot of little hunters summoned by the summoning magic array, as the lowest level demon in the abyss, the little hunting demon has always been used as cannon fodder, and this time it is the same. Goliath summoned them, not because the little demon hunters were the best to summon, nor because there were the most numerous. It's because after the death of the little demon hunter, this space will be filled with the breath of the abyss, and the flesh and blood left by the little demon will be a sacrifice for the summoning of higher-level demons.
Five or six blood-drinking blades slashed at Goliath's massive body at the same moment, leaving him with nowhere to hide. But Goliath didn't have the slightest fear, or he didn't know what fear was now, and now he just wanted to destroy everything he saw in front of him! The Thunder Fury blocked four of the blood-drinking blades that slashed at him, and then relied on the flame greatsword in his left hand to slash the other "Albert" at both ends, but there was also a fish that slipped through the net, successfully leaving a scar on Goliath's body.
But what is very strange is that although Goliath's wound cut by the Blood-Drinking Blade is large, there is not a trace of blood flowing out, and the original reddish sword color of the Blood-Drinking Blade that cut Goliath's skin is also somewhat aggravated.
Goliath, who was provoked by Albert's attack, roared in the sky, the Thunder Furious in his right hand was furious, and the Flame Greatsword in his left hand was also blazing. The attack of the two heavy swords instantly killed the five Alberts beside Goliath.
After killing the five Alberts, Goliath wanted to make another move on the other Alberts, only to find that the little hunting demon he had summoned had disappeared completely. Not even a single piece of flesh was seen on the ground.
"Thank you, generous Abyssal Emissary, if it weren't for your generosity, this blood-drinking blade would have been needed
It will take a long time to evolve completely. ”
The figure of Albert beside Goliath gradually disappeared, and when the last Albert appeared in front of Goliath's eyes, holding two blood-dripping blood-drinking blades in his hands, Goliath realized where his little demon hunter had gone.
"Bang!" the flaming greatsword was casually discarded to the ground, and Goliath's size began to shrink. Goliath, who has been transformed into his original form, throws the Thunder Fury back into the spatial ring. Then he said to Albert, who was standing across from him, "I wonder if Lord Albert is interested in my previous proposal?"
"It's really a miracle that a stupid abyssal demon would choose to do business with a vampire. However, if you help me complete this blood-drinking blade, then the oil lamp, after I study it, will be handed over to you!" Albert finished speaking, and disappeared directly from the woods.
Looking up at the three Pandia sisters who were obscured by dark clouds, Goliath sat lonely on the ground. I remembered what the woman said to herself when she left the abyss, "When the gears of fate begin to turn, everyone is inevitable!"
So, Carl, how do you choose under the crushing of the unstoppable wheel of fate in the future!
This time, Carl was sitting in the hall of the Mercenary Guild and looking at Elizabeth with Big Eyes.
After leaving Windsors Castle, Karen did not choose to return to the Delvensey family, or go to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss her next move with the Governor of Corbers, but chose to follow the three of Carl to the Mercenary Society.
When the golden lion of the Alverian Empire appeared in the hall of the Mercenary Association, it immediately caused a commotion. The prestige of the Imperial Golden Lion is known to everyone, but it is still difficult to encounter it in person. The last time Karen entered the mercenary hall, she wasn't wearing the Purple Gold Flower Knight armor, so even if someone recognized her, she was just thinking of someone similar to Karen.
Carl didn't expect Karen to cause such a big commotion among the mercenaries, so he couldn't help but glance at Karen with some curiosity. But at this time, a crisp sound knocked Carl to the bottom. When he saw who the owner of the voice was, Carl was even more like falling into an ice cellar.
"Brother, what's wrong with Mount Ore? I saw a fire in the city today, and I also heard the howling of wolves and the roar of dragons, is there any fierce monster around, and brother, you are going to eradicate them today?" When Elizabeth finished speaking to Karen, she shouted in surprise, "Aren't you the adventurer of the small town of Gran who defeated me in the alley?"
"Hello, honorable Miss Elizabeth!" Seeing that he was recognized, Karl had no choice but to bow slightly to Elizabeth helplessly.
"Hmph, brother, this person is really not a good person!" Elizabeth snorted coldly, and then "complained" to Karen. Hearing Elizabeth's words, Carl had a headache. Now he was afraid that Karen would have any opinion on himself because of Elizabeth's words. After all, of the news Carl heard, Karen was the most fond of this sister. If you offend Karen because of this, then in the next battle, Karen frames herself,
Wouldn't that be easy?
However, in this case, it is just Carl complaining in his heart. After all, as a model of knighthood, Carl knew that Karen would not set a trap for himself for such a trivial matter.
Sure enough, after Karen touched Elizabeth's hair dotingly, she smiled apologetically at Karl, "I'm sorry, Lord Karl, my sister sometimes does things that don't conform to the aristocratic temperament because of the favor of the family, please don't see it!"
"Brother, why do you want to apologize to this stingy guy, I just want him to teach me a trick, but he refuses, not at all like those legendary dragon slaying warriors, handsome and chic!" Elizabeth was a little angry, as if she was very unhappy that her brother would apologize to an adventurer!
Hearing Elizabeth's words, Karl rolled his eyes, is it difficult to kill a dragon? It's not that he hasn't killed it, although he is only the weakest young dragon in the dragon clan, but he is a dragon no matter what.
Although he complained so much in his heart, Carl still empathetically told Karen that he would not care. When Karen introduced both Sir Wacole and Chris.
The two of them sat down at a relatively remote wine table in the mercenary hall.
When all was done, Elizabeth seemed to want Carl to be ashamed, so she stared directly into Carl's eyes. And Carl seemed a little uncomfortable to be seen like this by Elizabeth at first, so he dodged a little, but this was taken as a sign of shame by Elizabeth, and he looked at Carl's gaze even more unscrupulously.
Although Elizabeth's actions undermined the dignity of the Delvensey family, Karen, who doted on her sister, did not stop Elizabeth's actions.
"I wonder what Lord Karl thinks about what happened to Oryshan?" asked Karl after taking a sip of the whiskey brought by the bartender.
Karl didn't know how to answer for a while. From the actions and statements of the Greywater Mercenary Regiment, Karl probably knew that the operation between Windsor Castle and Ory Mountain was basically the result of the cooperation between the Greywater Mercenary Regiment and the Alverian Empire. Of course, there must be other forces involved in this that Karl didn't know about.
After thinking for a while, Karl turned his head to look at Karen and asked, "Does the Emperor really want the continent to fall into war again? It doesn't seem to be very far from the last war? A hundred years, or a thousand years?"
"As His Majesty's Knight of Oaths, my duty is to complete the task given to me by His Majesty, and as for the consequences of this matter, if it does not hurt the innocent, I have no reason to refuse!" Karen replied.
"So the continent is in the midst of war, and it doesn't hurt the innocent?" Karl's question, after knowing Otto the Great's purpose, Karen was also confused for a while. But after an incident, Karen was convinced. "If some people can get a better life for all, then I can accept this result!" Karen replied softly.
Hearing Karen's answer, Karl did not dwell too much on this whim, but took the initiative to talk about the things on Mount Orye.
"From
Judging by the magnitude of the battle, Albert should not have died. The key to opening Dracula's mausoleum is still on its body, so we need to keep an eye on Albert's movements!" Karl replied.
"For the demon wolf Baker, because I know Uncle Baker and know that his current behavior is not voluntary, so if I can, I hope to be able to let that Uncle Baker live!"
"I'm afraid it's impossible!" Karl had just finished speaking when he heard the hearty voice of the bloody hand Colin in the hall.
When the Commander and Archmage Meredith arrived, Sir Wacole and Chris hurriedly stood up and gave way to Colin and Meredith.
Colin walked quickly in front of Carl, "Carl, I need your help now!"
