417. Tense atmosphere
PS: Third update
Marki clapped her hands on the side.
"Lord Kadias, as much as I would like to be sure that you are a noble blood from the earth, but the power of magic I think that there must be people in your team who understand its subtleties, and your trip with that vampire last night, and your friends' trip today, really, if I wasn't sure that it was inhabited by our dear guests, I would really think that you were human beings disguised by demons, both in appearance and in breath."
"Thank you for the compliment, Master Maki, it's just like Lord Kiriri said, what I am, what I and my friends are, it doesn't matter, what matters is that we came from the earth, and what we came to hell for, right?"
Zhou Chu replied to Marki with a smile, and Marki also smiled and nodded, and then looked at Kiliri.
Killiri clapped his palms, and the massive metal palms collided with a bright, muffled sound.
"Then, before talking about our purpose and our respective interests, Kadias, allow me to entertain you, and your friends, with a dinner of the highest class in Tatarir."
This is how the dinner began, there was no music, no dancing, fortunately, perhaps because of the relationship that Markey considered, this dinner in hell was not too strange and unacceptable in terms of food, although some meats and dishes could not distinguish their varieties and dishes, but they looked and tasted, there was nothing unusual, and Markey repeatedly assured that the use of meat did not violate the morality and cognition of human beings on the ground, the types that were not suitable and should not be eaten. Most of them are derived from pure hellish creatures such as Hell Boars and Hell Tigers.
The demons were not so scrupulous, nor did they have the image or identity of the nobility, and they feasted there while listening to Kiriri and Marki ask about the things on the ground, and about the different places from hell, in a sense, these demons behaved like the Norse Vikings, and had a bold personality. Barbarous. But it is also direct, but it is a little different from the legendary demon who has always been insidious and cunning.
As for the undead and skeletons, their food is a little special, some of it glows. A fluid object with strange magical fluctuations. It's like jelly. Or some light clusters that are simply like animal souls or something, in a soul state, watching those skeletons eat these things one by one. There is some inexplicable joy.
And Marki and Killiri naturally play the role of enlivening the atmosphere, they will ask Zhou Chu from time to time about what they have seen and changed on the ground, as well as the situation, and so on, and Zhou Chu also has to answer questions, since it has been determined to return to the ground with as many demons as possible, then the current situation on the ground is not impossible to answer and needs to be avoided, so on this side, Zhou Chu has nothing to hide.
There is an unprecedented war breaking out on the ground of Zhilu Dao, and Kiriri and Marki, as well as those demon generals, have shown enough interest, but they have also shown enough sobriety and sanity, even if there is an occasional temptation, they just want to see if they can find an opportunity to lead a team to loot through a teleportation array, rather than any other big move.
Although it didn't cover too many topics, after this meal, Zhou Chu at least learned that as far as Tatarir was concerned, whether it was Kiriri or other demon generals, they had enough interest in the ground.
The dinner ended quickly, but Zhou Chu and the others did not leave, because according to the usual practice, there was still leisure time for chatting, and at such a time, it was the time to talk about business and test each other, and explore each other's purpose and intentions.
After asking the attendants to remove the remaining food, Killiri led the group to the second floor of the White Bone Palace, where it had already been arranged in a Renaissance salon-style place, except that the benches, sofas, chairs, round tables and wine cabinets were all decorated with a rich and obvious demonic decoration and style.
At this time, some demon generals, knowing that the next conversation of the Dao was no longer something they could participate in, so they retired first, and the last to stay on the second floor of the White Bone Palace, except for Zhou Chu and others, only Kiliri and Maki were left, as well as a tall red bronze demon general, and an undead who looked like a low-level death knight, as well as a skeleton, and the demon lady's attendant trusted by Kiliri's lock.
Killery motioned to the sexy and hot, scantily clad female attendant beside him, poured a glass of hell red wine for Zhou Chu and the others, and then held a glass of wine glass containing soul solution and shook it gently.
"Forgive me for being direct, Mr. Cadias, I'm not a man who is good at beating around the bush, and I can't learn the cunning and insidiousness of the Great Demons, so while forgiving me for being direct, please allow me to ask directly, what is the purpose of you and your friends coming to hell?"
"Direct character, I like." Gao Ming said to Zhou Chu, then shrugged his shoulders, drank the red wine in his hand, and then handed the wine glass to the sexy demon maid, and focused his eyes on her.
Gao Ming's meaning is very clear, if you look at everything, he will only be a shopkeeper and captain.
Several thoughts and responses flashed through Zhou Chu's mind, but what finally froze in his mind was a sentence that both Rika and Atama had mentioned.
In hell, in the end, it is still strength that speaks, and the demons only worship the absolute strong and bloodline.
So he decided to respond directly to Killieri's directness.
"Lord Killiri, are you interested in the ground?"
"Huh? Ground? If you're interested, that's true. "Isn't Mr. Cadias trying to take me and my men back to the surface and plunder?" If so, I promise my guards and demons will be good at robbing houses. ”
"Is that enough?" Zhou Chu smiled, "If that's the case, then I can do it myself, Lord Killiri, what I'm talking about is not some short-term plunder and going to the surface and returning to hell, I'm talking about it, but back to the ground, back to the sun." ”
Zhou Chu's words were spoken, and the room was immediately silent, so silent that the demons' unique breathing could be heard clearly, Maki and Kiriri glanced at each other, but neither Maki's dead eyes nor Kirieri's soul fire could see anything, and the only pure demon general, his breathing became a little rapid and heavy.
He looked at Killiery, and after Killiri nodded slightly, he turned to Zhou Chu.
"Mr. Cadias, may I ask what you just said......" he asked, before adding, "I'm Vanu, the demon army in charge of the Winderosion Lands. ”
"I'm talking about, Lord Killiri, if you're interested, return to the sun with me and dwell above the ground." Zhou Chu repeated, and then said, "Of course, that may make you hostile and confrontational with the church for a long time, but I think you can also think of this, so I ask, if there is an opportunity, and I can also bring you to the surface, Lord Killiri, would you like to lead your men back into the sun?" ”
Vanu took another deep breath and then looked at Killiri, he was not one to decide, but he looked at Killiri in the eye, but he had betrayed him, personally, he dreamed of being able to one day actually set foot on the ground.
Killiri seemed calm, and the two soul fires in his eyes flashed for a moment, and then he spoke.
"Does Mr. Cadias know such a way?"
"If I don't know the way, why should I come to hell myself?"
Zhou Chu asked rhetorically, and didn't care about passing on the news, because it was impossible for Atama, whose soul had signed a master-servant contract with Aleisha, to betray, even if he betrayed or was killed, the path that could be passed through the weak point of the forbidden spell had also been preserved in Zhou Chu's memory through the soul link between Alesa and Zhou Chu.
The soul fire in Killiery's eyes flickered again, but he didn't speak, obviously he was thinking.
And Zhou Chu is not in a hurry, there are many persuasion objects to choose from, and it is not only Killiri alone, and no matter what Killiri thinks, it has no big impact on him, whether it is weighing the pros and cons, or judging whether he can kill him, to obtain this secret, and then use this secret to get the appreciation of a certain king, no matter what Killiri is planning and judging, it has no effect on him.
If a small local lord can threaten and influence them, then Hell doesn't have to stay any longer.
But Zhou Chu obviously didn't intend to let Killiri think like this, in the established plan, being able to get Killiri's help and refuge was the best choice, and it was also a supplement to their somewhat weak strength, so Zhou Chu decided to further promote Killiri's consideration and develop in the direction of their plan.
"Lord Killiri, how much loyalty is left to Samael?"
As soon as these words came out of Zhou Chu's mouth, Kiliri suddenly stood up, the ghost fire in his eyes was great, and there was a hint of vigilance in his voice.
"What did you say?!"
Along with him stood up, there were also Vanu, as well as the other two undead generals, only Maki was still sitting still, just looking at Zhou Chu.
The current realm of anger and death, although still nominally belongs to Samael, who has disappeared for a long time, is actually in charge of Mammun, under the control of the current demon king, discussing loyalty to the previous king is undoubtedly a taboo topic, not to mention facing outsiders who don't know what the meaning of the Dao is, no matter what Kiliri answers, it may push him into the abyss - maybe, Zhou Chu and the others, maybe the people sent back by the disappeared Samael, or maybe, it is simply the internal response sent by Mammun to tempt.
