Chapter 65: A Pact with the Devil
Hedram was a feared demon who had fought against the god-proclaimed Sage Suliman, distorting Suliman's teachings and image, and was eventually sealed in a bottle by the enraged Suliman.
Hedram spent more than 4,000 years in the bottle, because of the Suliman seal on the mouth of the bottle, Hedram could not fall asleep in the bottle, and could only hope that someone would rescue him every day and set him free.
Thousands of years have been slowly passed in Hedlam's expectation. Several times Hedram thought that in this life, he could only move forward in the dark. Thankfully, the loving God did not give up on him, the poor devil.
He's free.
Fresh air, the aroma of flowers. Everything made Hedram overjoyed, it turned out that the world was so beautiful.
"What do you want, let's talk about it first!" Hedram looked at Zhang Yao with a critical gaze, in his opinion, he would not suffer a loss by exchanging his two wishes for one of the other.
Zhang Yao looked at the devil Hedram with a smile, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "I want to get power, of course, I won't sell any souls." I just want you to build a ring for me, I make the materials, and you do everything you can to create a ring with magic for me! ”
The magic in Zhang Yao's mouth is a reflection of strength, he doesn't know what kind of power Hedram belongs to, but he feels that for a devil, his wish should be easy to achieve.
The devil is the best at manipulating people's hearts, and Hedram claims that Suliman is a demigod and an existence beyond the level of a hero. So since he dared to oppose Suliman, it showed that Hedlam's strength could not be underestimated, at least he had a direct impression of the strength of the demigods.
What the power of the demigods is like, Zhang Yao still can't understand.
But the strength of Pudu Cihang and Dracula can be said to be very strong in Zhang Yao's eyes. So Hedram, who dares to confront the demigods, is also an outstanding existence at the hero level.
"Bring my own materials for me to make the ring, and it requires me to do my best!" Hedram looked at Zhang Yao with some hesitation, if Zhang Yao said that he asked for any gold and silver mountains, then Hedram could just find a vein. But what Zhang Yao asked for was not a mountain of gold and silver, but asked him to do his best to create a ring with magical power, which made Hedram can't help but muttered in his heart.
"Can't you do it!"
Zhang Yao saw Hedlam's hesitation, so he pretended to be disappointed and shook his head, and sighed: "I thought you were so powerful, it turned out that you blew it out to fight against Suliman, and you couldn't even make a ring!" ”
Zhang Yao shook his head and his eyes were full of disdain, but when Hedram heard this, he did not jump to his feet and became angry, but fell into silence.
As a devil, Hedlam's own wisdom is not to be underestimated. Although 4,000 years of solitary confinement has made him still a little unconscious, this does not mean that he is a fool with well-developed limbs. It was also Zhang Yao's own materials, and Hedram also knew how huge the price he needed to pay to create a ring with magical powers.
The magic ring, as the name suggests, requires magical power.
However, the magic in the ring needs to be instilled, and in order for the magic in the ring not to fade with the power of time, the magic instilled in the ring is always permanent. The amount of mana infused into the ring, the amount of mana that instills the mana itself will permanently lose. Although the material of the ring itself may also have some magical power, the price to be paid is still too great to be paid, so big that Hedram can't help but want to refuse Zhang Yao's request.
"Two wishes for one, don't you devils even know the most basic exchange! You must know that no matter what, you were released by me, and I am your savior. I swear in God's name that if it weren't for me, you might have been in that damn bottle for thousands or even ten thousand years, and you should be grateful to me! ”
Hedlam's hesitation made Zhang Yao can't help but argue for himself. Although Zhang Yao didn't know what the price would be paid for Hedlam's full efforts to create a magic ring. But looking at Hedram's hesitant expression, Zhang Yao knew that the devil didn't want to lie to himself and agreed, otherwise he would never have such a worried expression.
Zhang Yao was not afraid that Hedram would have concerns, but he was afraid that Hedram would agree, and then play Tai Chi with him or deal with things.
Zhang Yao really wants to get his own strength, although the lottery may allow him to climb to the sky one step at a time, but the uncertainty of the lottery is destined to be such a long time. Zhang Yao is not a Buddha who can plead for thousands of years in front of the Buddha, he doesn't want his life to be passive, and puts all his expectations in the fate of the underworld.
"I can create a magic ring, but the limitations of materials and the right time, place, and people are all crucial factors. I will do my best to fulfill your wishes, but if you can't succeed because of the limitations of materials, then it's none of my business! In the end, Hedram gritted his teeth and agreed, although he was a devil, but anyone who has watched the sequel to the Fisherman and the Devil knows that Hedlam is a devil who speaks of trust.
In the sequel between the Devil and the Fisherman, the Fisherman kicks the Devil into the sea after tricking the Devil into the bottle, sealing the lid. At this moment, the devil in the bottle pleaded bitterly with the fisherman, begging the fisherman to release him.
The fisherman did not believe the devil's words, but the poor fisherman could not resist the mountains of gold and silver promised by the devil. So the fisherman made the devil renew his vows, and let the devil go out of his greed.
Hedram, who was released, did not repent, but praised the fisherman's wit and kept his promise.
It was precisely because he thought that Nehdram himself was a devil who valued promises, so Zhang Yao's unreasonable request, he decided to agree after thinking about it for a long time. Because he felt that what Zhang Yao said was very right, no matter what he did, Zhang Yao let him out, which was undeniable. Of course, the desire to exchange two for one also plays a big role in this.
Hearing that Hedram had promised to create a magic ring for himself, Zhang Yaoxi smiled. Immediately he called for the guards to come in and prepare to build a palace for Hedlam.
The guards who walked in were almost frightened when they saw Hedlam's appearance, if it weren't for Zhang Yao here, I'm afraid the guards would have to pee their pants.
Looking at the ugliness of the guards, Zhang Yao was even more sure of the fact that he wanted to create a magic ring. These guards are good at dealing with ordinary people, but they are useless against magical powers. Zhang Yao felt that if he relied on these people to protect himself, he might not have a few days to live.
"Mr. Hedlam, I will let someone build a palace for you, please rest assured, I will keep my promise!" Zhang Yao bit very the four words of keeping his promise, and Hedram didn't care when he heard it, but blew by Zhang Yao's side like a gust of wind.
"I don't believe in human oaths, and the Lord of the Rings is no small deal. I can promise you to do your best, but I need you to sign a contract with me in which you will not only fulfill your promise to me, but also swear that you will not use the power of the Ring against me! ”
Hedram was also afraid that Zhang Yao would kill the donkey, and after instilling magic in the ring, Hedram knew that he would have a period of weakness, and he didn't want to be deceived by these cunning humans and be sealed in a bottle again.
"Contract, what kind of contract!" The devil's contract Zhang Yao had already heard like thunder, and when he heard that Hedram was going to sign a contract with him, Zhang Yao suddenly couldn't help but think about it somewhere else, and if he wanted to agree, he hesitated with the word contract.
"A fair and just contract, under the witness of the God of justice, whether it is you humans or we devils, we must be responsible for what is agreed in the contract. Even if it is God who makes the contract, there are few beings who can rebel against the contract. Hedram saw Zhang Yao's hesitation, and as he spoke, he reached out and grabbed a pale golden sheepskin scroll.
The parchment scroll was written in a strange script, and although Zhang Yao did not know this kind of writing, he read the contract the moment he saw it, and there was no language barrier at all.
"This is a just soul contract, what you promised me and what I promised you are on it, only after you sign the contract, I will create a magic ring for you, otherwise just like you don't trust me, I can't trust you!"
Hedram insisted on signing the contract, but Zhang Yao didn't know if Hedram had used a trick on the contract, and the words displayed in the contract in front of him were just a deception.
"Dracula, come and see!"
Zhang Yao spoke slowly, and Dracula, who was hanging upside down on the chandelier, suddenly landed to the side with Zhang Yao's words. And in Hedram's widening eyes, he took on the form of a human being.
"Is this pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?" Hedram watched Dracula bend down and salute Zhang Yao, and for some reason suddenly felt the urge to regret it.
