Chapter 290: A long-lost negotiation

Hell, Trier.

One hundred years later, Trier has changed dramatically. Since it is the point of connection between the Hellworld and the Underworld, through the frequent exchanges between the merchants, craftsmen, and even armies of the demons and the Netherworld, Trier has become the most prosperous place in the Hell.

All of this is thanks to the fact that a hundred years ago, Artevans personally went to the underworld to help Monasse, who was still the second prince of the Netherworld at that time, and is and is still the emperor of the Netherworld, successfully seize the throne. After Monasse became the Emperor of the Nether, in gratitude, he let the Netherworld establish friendly relations with the demons.

Although the Demon King has not met Monasse as the Emperor of the Underworld for a long time, and the last time they met is estimated to have been decades ago, the friendly relationship between the Demon and the Netherworld has never been interrupted.

The reason why Artevans wanted to go to the underworld again after a long time was to negotiate with Monasse to see if Monasse could provide some reliable personnel for Artfans.

Of course, Artevans knew very well that he could not get help from the Netherworld for nothing, so on the way to Trier, Artevans kept thinking about what kind of reward he should use to impress Monasse.

Before he knew it, Artevans had crossed Yellam and reached the outermost part of Trier.

Noticing the appearance of Atvance, the surrounding people, whether they are demons or netherworlds, all smiled and nodded to Atvance.

Looking at Trier, who had become so prosperous now, Artevans' mind seemed to go back a hundred years ago, when Sheola, Dvoga, Ive, and Aktri had not yet died in the battle with the Divine Heir.

But soon, he put away his thoughts, after all, he is not one who likes to be nostalgic for the past.

Artevans walked briskly to the warped space leading to the underworld, but as soon as he tried to step into the warped space, he stopped.

"This operation, I can do it myself, you stay in the dark prison to recuperate." Sensing Rusha's presence behind him, Artevans turned around and looked at Rusha.

Artefans' eyes were full of determination, and when she noticed such a look, Rusa couldn't say anything more, so she swallowed the words that had already reached her lips and returned to herself.

"So, I wish you good luck." Rusha bowed respectfully to Atvance and left.

After Rusa left, Artevans looked to the other side, "You too."

"No, I just noticed that you suddenly appeared here to see what was going on, and I didn't mean to go anywhere with you." Kaina waved her hand and said, "Looks like I'm too careful."

With that, Kaina turned and left, leaving Liel still where she was.

"Unlike Sister Rusa and Lord Kaina, Lil's condition is not that serious, and Liel can go with you, master." Lil's tone was a little weak when she said this, and she didn't even dare to look directly at Artfans.

Artevans sighed, then smiled and said, "I know you're still haunted by your previous losses, but this time I'm telling you clearly that I never blame anyone, so you don't have to worry too much."

"In the meantime, you can stay in the hell to recuperate, and by the way, I will give you a mission. You arrange your own time, go to the Southern Continent regularly, observe if there is anything unusual around the stronghold, and if there is, dispose of it, and if you can't deal with it, immediately use your mind to find me. Okay, I'm leaving.'"

With that, Artevans didn't wait for Lil's reply, and he didn't care if Liel really heard clearly, so he turned around and stepped into the warped space leading to the underworld. After all, even if Lil really didn't hear clearly, Rusha would remind her.

Looking at the back of Artevans leaving, Lil bowed respectfully, "I wish you success, master......

The Underworld, the main city of the Netherworld.

As soon as Artevans emerged from the warped space, he caught the attention of the surrounding Netherworlds, and the soldiers of the main city gathered immediately after seeing Atlvans.

The captain of the soldiers at the head hurriedly walked up to Atfans, bowed slightly, and said, "I wonder why His Majesty the Demon King is here in person?"

With that, he looked slightly at the entrance to the warped space behind Artevans, and when he realized that Artevans was the only one coming, he couldn't help but show a hint of confusion.

Knowing that coming to the underworld alone in his own capacity would inevitably cause a lot of speculation, Artevans smiled and said, "There are some things that I want to talk to Monasse alone, so I came here alone, so as not to attract unnecessary attention, and I didn't say hello in advance, so please forgive me if I cause you any inconvenience."

Hearing this, the soldier commander nodded, made a gesture of please to Atvance, and said, "In that case, please follow me......

"No need, I'll go over by myself, you can go back to your original position and work." Of course, if Monasse wants to accuse you of being irresponsible, you can just say that I won't let you follow.'" Atfans said with a wave of his hand.

When Artevans said this, the captain did not insist, and ordered the other soldiers to return to their posts, and then bowed slightly to Artevans and walked away.

After the soldiers dispersed, Artevans, in order not to attract more attention, used his magic to condense a hat and put it on his head, lowering the brim. Immediately, he reined in his breath again,

With all this done, Artevans walked briskly in the direction of the main city palace.

From the warped space connecting the underworld and the Hell, to the palace in the center of the main city of the Netherworld, it was only a matter of ten minutes at the speed of Artfans, and he soon arrived at the gate of the palace.

Athenus looked at the guards guarding the palace gates, ready to take off his hat, after all, he would never be able to enter without identifying himself.

But as soon as Artevans was about to take off his hat, he stopped.

"I didn't expect that even though I had changed my costume, I would still be recognized by you." Artevans smiled slightly, and without looking back, he said to the person who appeared behind him.

"Although His Majesty the Demon King deliberately hides himself, the old man is very sensitive to the aura of the alien race, and it happened that the old man was also near His Majesty the Demon King, so he found it. Of course, if the old man is rude, I am very sorry." Immediately, behind Artevans came an old but still energetic voice, and the owner of the voice was none other than the head of the Nether Lord's City, Thorban.

"It's okay, since you've found out, I'll go and negotiate with the guards outside the palace gate." Atvance said, turning around and looking directly at Serban, and said, "I want to meet Monasse alone, and it's better to keep it secret, because in this matter, I am only representing myself, and it is not counted as a high-level negotiation between the demons and the Netherworld."

Hearing Artevans say this, Serban frowned slightly, and after staring at Artevans for a while, he nodded solemnly, "Please follow me."

——————————————

On the outskirts of the Netherworld.

Thurban led Atvance to a small manor house that was still fresh in his memory. A hundred years ago, when Serban, as the emissary of the Netherworld royal family, went to the Underworld to propose a joint alliance on behalf of Monasse, who was still the second prince at the time, Atfans and Theola first came to the underworld, and it was in this place that they first came to this place.

This is the former prince of the Netherworld, Monasse's elder brother, and the current supreme leader of the Netherworld, Daisey, who built a small manor on the outskirts of the main city. After a hundred years, there has not changed much, except that there seems to be more plant species.

Thurban led Artevans to the door of the chic cottage in the small manor, then turned around, bowed slightly to Artfans, and said, "Your Majesty the Demon King, you don't want to go in if you are old and have business, please feel free."

After Artevans nodded in response, Thor Patch disappeared directly in front of Atfans.

Returning to the small manor, Artevans could still feel the same comfort as he had when he first arrived, but he soon realized that he knew he wasn't here to relax, so he stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door twice.

The door was soon opened, and to Artfans' surprise, it was not Daise, the owner of the small estate, but Monasse.

"Atvance?" Monasse frowned when he saw Atfans coming, a look of confusion.

After a hundred years, Monasse of Artevans, after getting acquainted with each other, knew each other's personalities, and called each other by their first names instead of adding any special names.

Like the previous captain, Monasse also looked behind Artevan, and when he saw that Artevan was only coming alone, he seemed to understand something, so he made a "please" gesture to Artevans, and let Artvance enter the house.

Atfans nodded to Monasse and walked inside.

"I thought it was a little strange when I first brought me here, but I didn't expect you to have this kind of leisure. But what about Lord Daiuse?' Artevans didn't do much courtesy in front of Monasse, and casually sat down in a soft chair and poured himself a cup of tea.

Although one of the two is a demon king and the other is an immortal emperor, they are both rulers of their respective races, but neither of them likes too cumbersome etiquette, and when they meet in private, they are no different from ordinary acquaintances.

"My brother has a business trip to Zulin today, so I'm here to relax in my spare time. Hmph, it's ironic, after a certain age, I am not as enthusiastic as before, and I gradually began to understand why my brother likes this kind of leisure life." Monasse smiled, brought two plates of pastries, handed one to Atfans, and sat down across the table.

"Tell me why you came to me." Monasse didn't beat around the bush either, and directly picked out the topic, "You just came here by yourself, presumably it's not about the demons and the Netherworld, but about yourself, do you want me to help you in any way?"

"It's you, you're really smart." Atfans smiled, then leaned forward slightly and whispered, "I don't know about Monasse...... Not interested in dragons?'
