Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Ancient Devil
Faust opened his eyes. The mayor's story isn't full of ups and downs, but the weird gore more than makes up for it, not to mention the profanity of the forbidden things that even the gods tremble.
While he was amazed, he couldn't help but fall into thinking - it turned out that how the mayor's past experience was bizarre and shocking, and even involved the survival of the world, had nothing to do with his plan. Even if Mayor Mare were to die under a curse, it would be harmless to Faust's plan.
However, Faust had to consider Professor Pacian's wishes. As the strongest of the team and Faust's only ally in the Baba Yaga affair, his opinion must be taken into account. To put it mildly, Faust must fulfill Professor Pacion's wishes, at least as he seems.
But since Pacian's purpose involved these ancient taboos, Faust had to be cautious. He thought about it, but he was going to talk to Professor Pacian.
Faust had already known Professor Pacion's room by remote sensing, and he pondered for a moment, then decided to meet with him.
His thoughts swirled, and he secretly ordered the Spirit Crystal Servant Fosse to guard the Mayor here, while he walked briskly towards Professor Pacian's room.
Faust has his own plans for the future, and so does Professor Pacion. He deliberately planned the route of his trip, choosing to reach the empire by land, precisely for the sake of this town.
Strictly speaking, he was attracted by some kind of power. After all, in his time, neither the forbidden capital nor the town existed.
He was once one of the greatest demons in the abyss, he was the follower of the Chaos Queen, one of the most powerful Obiris demons - the guardian of the rebellious Grand Duke, the ** and the traitor, the Jade King Sander Truman.
But he's not great at all. Professor Pacien is in such a state of embarrassment that he may only be able to compare to the time he was hunted down by Regba before.
The mortal body he occupied was on the verge of collapse at the moment - Professor Pacian's shriveled and emaciated body was now swollen like a giant corpse, his skin shattered by the rapidly expanding flesh, and the surface was covered in crimson cracks.
The most surprising thing was his head, which was no longer human, but a huge miserable green bull's head.
The bull's head let out a "moo" scream, and the tentacles protruding from its eye sockets kept rolling and twitching, and every time it threw itself at something, the male head at the tip of the tentacles would let out a terrible scream.
"I ...... I'm a demon...... I am God! No one can torture me without paying a price. The tiny head wailed in pain, but still did not forget to bluff.
Of course I know who you are, just as you know who I am. There was no sound, no light or shadow, not even a fluctuation of the mind, but there was a message coming from Professor Pacion's mind.
"I don't know, who are you? You've been following me...... Leave...... Leave!" The tiny male head seemed to be greatly tortured, and he was eager to deny it, as if he was hiding from something.
Don't rush to throw in the towel, think again, my child, think again. The unknown source of information flowed through Professor Pacian's mind, and he thought he was crazy, but demons were not.
What about your sisters? Why didn't I see her? I miss her, child, all right, let the poor mother see her. The message in his heart seemed to beg him, like an elderly mother to an unfilial son.
But Pacian seemed to be tortured even greater, "......Ahhhhh
My child, you are the greatest hero, you are the pride of your mother, you must be fearless. The message was also turned upside down, as if living in a dream, and when he said this, he forgot what he had said, and never mentioned Professor Pacion's sister again.
But every time the old demon received this dream-like message, it was as if he had suffered great pain, and this time he even lost the strength to beg for mercy, and just lay on the ground, gasping for breath, and the stalk of his eyes hung weakly, no longer shaking.
"Knock knock. Just then, there was a knock on the door, and the message disappeared.
Professor Pacien regained his breath slightly, and the magic power was restored to his body. He wondered if he was mad because of the strange message that had suddenly begun to torment him, where did the madness come from? Regba's curse, Baba Yaga's betrayal, or ...... Something prevented him from imagining any further.
"Knock knock. It so happened that the man outside the door knocked again, and Pacien stopped thinking—demons were not good at thinking. The person outside the door seemed to be unable to wait and knocked on the door again.
Pacien finally opened the door, and he looked at Faust outside the door with a tired expression, "Monsieur Faustus, I'm a little tired, can you come back to me tomorrow?" He was now weak, exhausted, but he didn't want to say some twists and turns with Faust. Pacien cursed in his heart, this kid lives like a devil, and he will definitely go to the Nine Prisons when he dies.
But Faust wasn't going to talk nonsense this time, after all, they were facing a big event. "Professor Pacian, I think we're in trouble. ”
"Oh? I don't know. Professor Pacien dealt with it absent-mindedly and casually, his heart was full of disdain, with your level, what problem could you encounter? If it weren't for your wonderful psychic protection, I would have pinched you to death a long time ago.
Faust naturally understood the meaning of Professor Pacian's words, but he didn't care, and even snickered in his heart—what kind of expression would you have when I told the truth?
But on the surface, Faust looked solemn, his brows furrowed, and he said worriedly: "The secret you want to investigate is probably related to those ...... Contraindications. With that, he gave a rough story about the mayor.
Pasion knew that his expression must be wonderful, a mixture of surprise, fear, surprise, and greed. He figured out what was going on in his head and what was drawing him in.
On the other hand, Faust saw Pacion's expression, and in addition to snickering in his heart, he also felt a little relieved - Pacian didn't know it, indicating that this was an unplanned thing, and he could have killed the mayor with his own hands, and then with a little more effort, he could still get a small piece of territory for himself.
"You know, Mr. Faustus, I am an archaeologist. "My most irresistible temptation comes from these mysterious ruins. ”
Faust raised his eyebrows, Professor Pacien understood what he meant, but he still had to fight. "However, this is different from the last time in the dungeon, and the danger is too great. Faust tactfully shirked.
"Let me tell you a story, then, Mr. Faustus. Professor Pacien was confident that Faust's story had connected the threads he knew, and that the clues were the key to the fight against Baba Yaga.
