429. Zhou Chu's Speculation and Analysis
After hearing Zhou Chu's words, Ma Meng's eyes lit up again, then squinted, and after a moment of silence, he opened again.
"In principle, I agree to your request to allow you, in the name of returning to the surface, to gather all the demons who want to follow you, but they still fall under my rule."
"It's nature." Zhou Chu replied.
Mammon stretched out his hand, and thoughtfully took out the ring and put it on the palm of his hand.
The magic gushed out and struck again, quickly swept away the ring, and then brought it back to Mammon's palm, Mammon shook the ring with satisfaction, and said.
"Back on the earth, if I can stand firm, I am willing to give you one, nay, twenty percent of the wealth that my demons have plundered."
Mammon had a distinct pain in his flesh when he spoke of one or two percent, and after gritting his fangs, he added.
"The premise is that before our demon clan and the direct subordinates of several demon kings gain a foothold, at least before they all reach the ground, if there are those nasty fellows of the church nearby, you must help us resist them, and give us as much information as possible."
"There is no problem with the information, we will tell you as much as we know, but regarding the matter of resisting, we will not stay in this world for more time than after the attribution of the spear of Longinus has been determined, and what we can guarantee is that before we leave, we will do our best to resist and deal with them, and let you get out safely, because. The church is also our enemy. ”
"Reluctantly...... Acceptable. Mammon said, then he rolled his eyes, "What if I help you capture the spear of Longinus?" ”
"If you can't make a promise, don't make a vow lightly, Lord Mammon." Zhou Chu smiled, "If it's just us, then the battle for the spear of Longinus can be controlled to a certain extent and range, but if you join, the church is afraid that it will be overwhelming, which is probably not something you can handle alone." Of course. If you can get the other kings to join forces, then I have nothing to worry about. ”
What are you kidding, the demons have come to fight for the spear of Longinus, and they are afraid that the church will stop it at all costs. And with the character of Mammon. He wouldn't go into battle for a small artifact.
The small abacus was seen through. Mammon was not ashamed, but laughed with a bold look: "Okay." If I can touch those guys. ”
"So our agreement is reached?"
"Achieved." "Is there any ritual like a covenant of oath?" ”
"No, I don't." Zhou Chu still smiled, "When it comes to things like soul oaths and soul contracts, what else is more proficient than your demon king?" What's more, we don't even know your real name, and we won't offend taboos to ask and know the Tao, and I believe that Lord Mammon's verbal agreement is enough. ”
Mammon didn't comment on this, just nodded noncommittally.
"Then, we will take our leave, and we will go to visit a few kings, and if we can, I hope that Lord Fitz will go with us."
"Okay." Mammon didn't hesitate, anyway, Fitz's heart has always been on Samael's side, and he also knows this, "But I still have a question. ”
"Just ask."
"You can be so sure of what you want, you can talk to me and come to an agreement, not that I am not interested in your suggestion and just kill you, or play some tricks and tricks."
Ma Meng's voice became gloomy and sympathetic at this moment, and the air in the side hall was a little cold, as if the surrounding area was instantly filled with Ma Meng's magic and power, and the demon king's magic energy and coercion were slightly revealed at this moment, except for Zhou Chu and Gao Ming, Alesha, and Fizz, everyone subconsciously entered the battle state directly, even the butterfly, instantly turned into the form of a plant woman.
"Huh." Zhou Chu still looked calm, without the slightest worry, "Even Lord Mammon, who doesn't want to leave hell, you should always feel bored after spending so much time in hell, not to mention that your power is greed, not laziness, after so many years, what should be fixed in hell has been fixed, and the wealth you can obtain is only getting less and less, and it has long been unable to satisfy the nature and appetite brought by your power." ”
"Haha Mammon laughed again, "I can't believe that you know us so well, yes, you are right, I have been dissatisfied with the state of wealth that is becoming more and more difficult to obtain and obtain for so many years, and even if you don't show up, I will urge that fellow Azazel to move faster, just think about the days when you count the pitiful gold coins every day, just think about it, I will go crazy!" ”
"The riches of the earth will satisfy you, Lord Mammon." Zhou Chu bowed to Ma Meng, "Please wait for our good news." ”
With that, he turned and led the others out of the side hall.
When they left the palace and walked towards the accommodation that Fitz had arranged for them, Gao Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Zhou Chu.
"You're a ...... Boldly chose this way. ”
Zhou Chu calmly glanced at Fitz, who was leading the way in front: "I'll talk about it when I get to the place." ”
Gao Ming also closed his mouth with interest, and began to look around, everyone was also in this state of mind, when Zhou Chu agreed to Fitz's statement that he could directly bring them to Mammon, the way he decided was to face Mammon directly, and instead of fighting, face-to-face conversation and negotiation.
Making deals and negotiating with the Demon King, such a decision really frightened Gao Ming and Atama at that time, and Larmi also commented that it was crazy, but Zhou Chu insisted with great confidence, just for the sake of prudence and to take care of other people's ideas, they prepared a plan and preparation for how to escape immediately at any time if the negotiation failed, and then followed Fitz and quietly entered the palace of anger and death.
After Fitz led the group to an empty demonic mansion where they were resting, and left a crystal ball to connect with her, Gao Ming sat down on a chair and poured himself a glass of Hell Red Wine that had been prepared for them.
"Tell me, where does your confidence come from?"
"Knowledge is power." Zhou Chu spit out such a sentence, looked at Gao Ming's look of looking for a fight, and then continued, "It turns out that for a period of time, I was very interested in religion and occultism, as well as all kinds of strange things, so I once went to learn about it, first of all, Mamon, in several different documents, there is such a story. ”
Everyone stopped what they were doing and waited for him to tell.
"There is a saying that Mammon is actually a fallen angel, but this is not credible and cannot be verified, but there is a story, which has been recorded in many times, which says that this power is the original sin of greed, and the demon king with a strong desire for money has a more gentle personality than other demon kings. When Satan leads demons against God's army, Mammon proposes at the battle meeting that instead of fighting with gods or humans, it is better to live in hell and enjoy the pleasures of money and so on. In short, in the description and recording of that story, Mamun is a representative of the non-war faction. And from another point of view, it is also mentioned in the literature that it is this so-called gentle character, in fact, it is Mammon's characteristics and weapons, Mammon most of the time, does not directly participate in the battle, but let the materialistic desire breed in the hearts of humans and demons, so that they fight each other for a little profit, so regardless of whether Mammon does not fight, whether the character is relatively tame, if Marmon is actually a more willing to use conspiracy, or not to hurt himself, to achieve his own goals, to obtain his own interests, More often than not, he prefers to avoid fighting, unlike other demons. ”
"So on the premise of having enough wealth and benefits, are you sure that Mammon will not take the initiative to kill us and fight us? Although such a statement can be used as a basis...... "Larmi said, it is only a mythological record in reality, and it cannot be used as a reference for everything." ”
"Then we don't have anything else to refer to, but after getting information from Atamar and Killiri, and hastily going through a few demonic texts and historical records, I found something interesting."
"Where?"
"It is in these accounts, and in the memories of Killiri and Atama, that it is rumored that this demon king, who is greedy in power and ranks in the position of demon king, has never recorded a single battle......
"What does that mean?" Gao Ming was still a little confused.
This illustrates...... It is very likely that this so-called demon king is not good at fighting, he may have abundant magic power and terrifying power, but he is not good at using it, or a more extreme and bold guess is that this demon king has the terrifying ability to directly demagogue and seduce human nature, the thirst for greed, but that is power, the power of original sin, the power of terror, but in terms of direct, face-to-face combat, this may not be effective and can have any effect. ”
Zhou Chu said, looking at the others calmly: "In addition, I have another guess, but I can't confirm it, because as one of the seven original sins, and at the same time as a demon king, there should be countless people, or other demon kings who are thinking about killing Mameng all the time, but it is like a tacit understanding, never declare war on Mameng, what is this for?" I am afraid that the problem lies precisely in this so-called seven original sins. (To be continued......)
