Chapter 43
"That spike demon has a 'prejudice' against me, and I must wait until he is far away before I go in. Gustav walked away to the sound of Spike Demon's footsteps and came out of the cupboard.
Having gone through all the details in his head, Gustav had a strict plan for it all.
Deliberately making his footsteps clear, Gustav walked to the door.
With the perception of the devil, he should have known about his arrival...... Gustav thought to himself, allowing his whole body to relax to a baseline state.
Spencer and Vera had apparently heard footsteps as well, and the Spike Demon was not lightweight, and its steps were much louder than that. It was never possible for the knights of Tyu to come to find unhappiness when 'Tyou' was in a bad mood, and Gustav was the only one involved in this matter.
"Hehe, it looks like our guests have arrived. Spencer smiled and said, "Please come in, young witcher." ”
After a long breath, Gustav pushed them away and walked inside.
The first thing he saw was the staggering paladins, and as they swept around, Gustav saw the terrified old Charlie and Amelia, who had a complicated expression.
Amelia doesn't know why she became a witcher...... Gustav was glad that he had only talked to a few people, such as Zell and Reinhardt, about the Children of the Night, and if Amelia didn't know, the on-the-spot reaction would have been more realistic, just enough for her to cooperate.
"Are you here to rescue your companions, witchers?" asked Spencer.
Fortunately, the other party is a devil, not a chaotic and ferocious demon, and does not immediately come up and torture him, which gives Gustav a great buffer time.
Gustav closed his eyes, and his mind began to recall the power of the Night Mother. Since the Bloody Assassin incident, Gustav has intensified his practice of this state grasping, and he has been trained during this time to become more proficient in this ability.
Taking the dark state of the Night Mother as an example, Gustav can now tolerate this evil energy for up to four minutes.
"Companion?" Gustav laughed, "Only darkness and fear are my companions, salute you, mighty devil." I am a member of the Council of the Nightchildren, Gustav Odinson. ”
When he opened his eyes again, Gustav's eyes had turned red, and dark shadows appeared and lingered around him.
Amelia's mouth opened in disbelief: "Gustav, are you the Child of the Night?"
Her expression became complicated, her face flushed, full of the sourness of betrayal. All her persistence was in vain at this moment, and she would now rather believe that Gustav had left here to ask for help than to see the 'fact' that her trusted companion was the Children of the Night.
Gustav walked up to Amelia, looked at the latter with blood-red eyes, and said coldly: "It's a pity, this time I have to reveal my identity." ”
Spencer and Vera felt Gustav's breath.
With a little bit of madness, and even some inclination towards self-destruction, an atmosphere of self-torture, cold-blooded and neurotic, this is indeed the power of the Night Mother of Fear.
There is a lot of intersection between this demon god and hell, and sometimes, she will exchange a large number of tortured souls to hell for what she needs, and she is a powerful person who has some 'friendship' with the lords of hell. In a sense, the Nightmother of the Dread Source is an expert at inspiring soul fear, and the souls she sends are all of the best quality by the standards of hell that are much higher than the average quality of their class.
"This witcher girl makes sense to the Children of the Night, please give it back to me. Gustav turned around, bowed slightly, and said in a coercive manner in respect.
"I don't see any point. "Spencer is no stranger to the Children of the Night, they are members of the dark camp and have dealings with the council. "If you're a Child of the Night and have a relationship with Hell on the council's side, you should know what a good price a witcher girl can sell for in Hell. ”
"I've been ordered to infiltrate the Witcher's Guild. "This is my first test, and whether I can complete it is a condition for me to be able to move up to the top in the future," Gustav said. I don't want an accident in my first test, I need this girl to return to the guild half-intact. ”
"Half-complete?" Vera asked flirtatiously, "What does that mean?"
Gustav's right hand was raised, and a dark shadow wrapped around it, and he continued, "After that, I will make her forget this memory, and use the secret technique of the Night Mother to make her memory appear in pieces. If you can accede to my request, you will earn considerable respect in the Council of the Night Suns. ”
Spencer is the devil, and he is not attached to a particular person or thing. Spencer's goal is to start as a chain demon and work his way up the ranks to become a character in hell. To that end, he starts learning about benefits and trade-offs from now on.
Vera looked at the Chain Demon, who was now disgusted by the latter's stupidity, and asked, "What do you think, Spencer?
"I don't know what level of event this lurking plan you're carrying out is in the Council of the Nightchildren......" Spencer looked down at Gustav from above, struggling inwardly, "If you can prove that this would bring me any benefit, we'll discuss more details." Do you understand? Gustav?"
"I am amazed by your mastery of the devil's rules of existence. Gustav calmly responded: "This deal itself is an investment, Spencer. If you promise, I will give you a soul, a quality soul. As one of the members of Hell, you should know that the Night Mother has a knack for soul training, and the soul that has been tortured by the Children of the Night will exude a deep depression. ”
"I know that......" Spencer grabbed Amelia over, who began to struggle. "Children of the Night, Gustav Odinson, Witches......"
Spencer was calculating the benefits and costs, and he was keen on this kind of thing.
Gustav withdrew himself from the Nightmother's power, which caused the witcher's blood to boil and afflict him.
"You need to swear to Styx, Gustav. Spencer thought about it for a moment and decided that it seemed like it would be a good idea to sell a favor to the Council of the Nightchildren.
Gustav walked over and took Amelia back with both hands.
Amelia struggled, but unfortunately her hands were tied. Gustav gagged her mouth with strips of cloth to prevent her from saying more.
"Poor devil and children of the night, this is the end of your deal. It was at this moment that a calm voice sounded.
Then, a burst of holy light suddenly exploded, filling the dining room.
