Chapter 7: The Conspiracy Against 'Ashes'
"Hidden Mission: The Succubus Clan. Alice is not an ordinary succubus, when she was a minor, she once secretly signed a contract with a human, at that time, she came into contact with the human language, but also came into contact with the free life, although the human died in the end, but she still liked that kind of unfettered life. Now, she needs your help to help Alice through this difficult situation, kill Andariel's messenger 'Ashes', and complete the mission, rewarding 24 hours and 1 merit. ”
"If the mission fails, Alice's opinion of you will be reduced by 50, and the time will be deducted for 24 hours."
"Bonus note, Alice's opinion of you reaches 100 points, there is an 80% chance of giving you a certain value of materials and equipment, and a 20% chance of signing a contract with you to become your demon minion!"
"Important: Don't let Andariel know anything about this, or she'll come and kill you!"
……
Lin Fei, who was sitting alone in the grocery store, was playing with the wolf slaying short sword in his hand. I saw this sharp blade swimming between Lin Fei's dexterous fingers, and the sharp blade flashed out a cold light, but it was an artistic drawing of a series of trajectories.
For this hidden mission, Lin Fei has already taken it, and he has no reason not to accept it. At the same time that Lin Fei took over the task, he persuaded Alice to go back.
Alice is a very assertive succubus, and she is very stubborn, the reason why she can follow Lin Fei's words and return to the succubus clan is also because Lin Fei said that in order to increase the chance of success in assassinating the messenger, she needs to be asked to find out some information about the 'ashes'. The things that needed to be explored, including the appearance of the ashes, their form, their strength, their special abilities, their preferences, their habits, etc., were all instilled into Alice's memory by Lin Fei like a broken thought.
"Remember, boss, it's about whether or not I can get rid of the ashes, and you can also experience the double experience of being a spy and an actor!"
"I know what a spy is, then, what is an actor?"
"An actor is a profession that treats himself as an imaginary character, showing a false smile, saying hypocritical words, and doing hypocritical things, and wrapping his true self!"
"Isn't that tiring?"
"I'm tired for a while, but I think it's worth it!"
In the end, Alice listened to Lin Fei's admonition and left happily. Lin Fei, on the other hand, sat on a chair. There was one thing that Lin Fei hadn't figured out before, that is, why only Alice's grocery store in the entire Degaden Saya used human characters, and now he finally understood.
Because Alice once signed a contract with a human.
This may seem like a nonsensical hint, but it is a very important point, because Alice has been in contact with humans, and has signed a contract with a human, indicating that she already has a preconceived impression of humans. It's just that it's unknown whether this 'impression' is good or bad, so Lin Fei thought, if he revealed his identity as a human being, how would Alice react?
Is it because of his human identity that he has increased his favorability in one fell swoop, or does he show a look of disgust, or even kill himself directly?
After thinking about it again, Lin Fei didn't do it, he didn't think it was time yet. After all, the first thing he had to think about now was how to deal with that powerful 'ashes'.
Although I have never seen ashes, how can a guy who can become Andariel's right-hand man be a weak person? Perhaps, the other party can kill himself with just one hand.
To deal with a person, the first thing is to understand the other party, and on this point, Lin Fei does not intend to rely on Alice all. Lin Fei only believed in the facts he saw, just like in order to kill Wang Xinde in the past, Lin Fei used to spend half a month secretly observing the other party's living habits and finding out where to start. Of course, things are not static, if your own strength is definitely stronger than the other party, you don't need to play any conspiracy at all, just like dealing with Wang Xingang, that is, you will go up directly to kill him, the means are simple and rude, but it is extremely effective. However, if you are weaker than your opponent, you can only rely on 'conspiracy' to win.
Thinking of this, Lin Fei got up and walked out.
Still riding Erbao, Lin Fei wandered around the city of Degaden Sayya, but the places he passed were all slave markets or places where large quantities of strategic materials were sold.
Alice said that the ashes were to replenish the front line supplies for Andariel this time. There is no such thing as a centralized power in the forces of hell, as long as you are strong enough, you can build a force. And in hell, the monarch-level demons in the high-level hell are obviously the ones who stand at the top of the pyramid of this class, but if they want to pull up an armed force, they still need demon coins.
The slave market in Degaden Saya is arguably the liveliest place in the city. Maybe a human living in the human world would never know where those terrible demons who entered the village in the middle of the night and killed them came from, but now, if they wanted to ask Lin Fei, the latter could tell them very directly that most of the low-level demons were obtained by high-level demons from the slave market.
The clearing, the size of dozens of football fields, was filled with sharp stones, which divided the entire clearing into several small areas, and all kinds of demons filled it.
Zombies, Fallen Demons, Fallen Demons, Corpse Gatherers, Moonlit Nights, Cavemen, Rotten Bone Demons, these strange-looking, ugly-looking monsters are bound by demon dealers with the power of 'contracts'. Although they are unwilling, they do not have any power to resist. And the representatives of those high-level demons are shuttling through various areas, selecting cannon fodder that meets the requirements for their demon monarchs.
Because Lin Fei rode a huge caveman like Erbao into the slave market, the administrators here regarded him as a subordinate of a certain great demon. Soon, a female witch with a ** body, curved demon horns, and a red body walked over.
"My lord, what kind of slaves are you going to pick? We've got it all here! Obviously, this witch took Lin Fei as a customer.
In all fairness, this female demon's figure is definitely hot, and she is defenseless, so it stands to reason that there should be some temptation. However, Lin Fei didn't have any impulse, because this female demon was two meters tall, and her red skin was like tree bark, and she seemed to be able to resist sword slashing, but it was definitely not beautiful.
Lin Fei has his own set of conversation skills, and he can often let the other party automatically talk about topics he is interested in from some irrelevant things.
Just like now.
"It turns out that you want the Dark Sinking Demon, but unfortunately, you are too late, all the Dark Sinking Demons here have been bought by a big customer, and it is said that the big customer represents a monarch-level demon!" When the female demon asked Lin Fei about the Dark Sinking Demon, she took the initiative to tell a piece of news.
Of course, Lin Fei asked about the topic of the Dark Sinking Demon, and it was not for nothing, because he saw that there were almost no Dark Sinking Demons on the market, and it was obvious that someone had bought these monsters in large quantities. And in the last two days, only the ashes representing Andariel, a monarch-level demon, have been to Degaden Saya City. When two things are put together, it's easy to come to a conclusion.
The next thing was much easier, and in Lin Fei's questioning, intentionally or unintentionally, the female demon told everything she knew about the big patron without any doubt.
And Lin Fei guessed correctly, the big customer in the mouth of the female demon is 'ashes'.
According to the description of the female demon, the ashes are not tall, and they are also a type of skeleton demons. On his body, there is also a terrifying 'poisonous yin' entwined around him, and in addition, the ashes are not good at talking, although he is a skeleton demon, he has the same terrifying power as the caveman.
These were the news that Lin Fei got, but he thought about it and asked a little strangely, "How do you know that the ashes have the same power as a caveman?" ”
Lin Fei considered that unless the ashes had nothing to do and deliberately showed their strength in front of the female demon, but that was impossible, because the female demon said that the ashes don't like to talk and are very depressed, how could a person with this kind of personality be so flamboyant.
Sure enough, the female witch's answer shocked Lin Fei's spirit.
"Because at that time, the ashes had some conflicts with a caveman under the command of the Blood Clan, and he also twisted off the arm of the caveman on the spot, and then released a poison to poison the other party to death, and the people of the Blood Clan were furious, we have all seen this incident!" The witch said with a smile.
When Lin Fei heard this, he showed a hint of a smile.
The blood clan is also a very powerful force in the low-level hell, they have the same status as the succubus clan, but unlike the succubus clan, the blood clan also has power in the high-level hell.
In Lin Fei's opinion, the blood clan is actually the vampire he is familiar with, but the vampire here definitely has nothing to do with the handsome and beautiful men and women in movies and television. If you have to let Lin Fei describe it, then the blood clan here is very consistent with the shape of the vampire in Heroes Invincible 3.
Strong bodies, extremely ugly features, and protruding sharp teeth and claws, these are vampires and, of course, the kind of stunts that can drain the life force of other creatures.
However, strictly speaking, Lin Fei thinks that vampires, as well as zombies and skeletons should all belong to the undead, but why do they exist in hell? Lin Fei didn't figure out this until later. The undead are actually a race created by high-level demons, so hell is the true birthplace of this terrible monster.
At this time, Lin Fei suddenly had a strange feeling, as if a person had invaded his body without his consent and activated the demon bloodline.
The pupil of Lin Fei's left eye instantly appeared with an inverted five-pointed star array, and the red rays of the Dao Dao were like flames, gushing out from his left eye. This kind of flame is a soul fire, and it will not burn Lin Fei, but this feeling of being out of control makes Lin Fei very unhappy.
Lin Fei knew that there was only one person who could do this.
Then, a huge force gathered at Lin Fei's feet, forming a pentagram array.
At this moment, Lin Fei was no longer the rookie who didn't understand anything at the beginning, he recognized at a glance that the drawing method of the pentagram array under his feet and the runes surging on it represented 'summoning'.
In an instant, Lin Fei knew what was going on. He immediately gave up resisting, and directly withdrew the two treasures into the contract scroll. When he had done all this, the pentagram array representing the summoning under his feet suddenly burst out of a miserable green light, and in the next second, Lin Fei was directly sucked into it by this light.
