Chapter 19: The Devil I

"It's your turn. ”

Sutum turned his gaze to the remaining four.

The remaining four people are only [hero] level strength, in front of him, it can be said that they have no combat power, and they want to do it at this time, but they are a little hesitant.

Sha Li's face turned a little pale, and she smiled reluctantly, "Lord Sutum, are you trying to kill all of us?"

"Nope. Sutum looked at them coldly: "It depends on whether you have the value of survival. ”

The faces of the four people suddenly regained a little blood.

Shari was about to speak, when Sutum's face suddenly changed. In the midst of the senses, an unusually familiar and powerful aura appeared in the distance.

"Woo-woo-"

A vague sound of a horn blew in a gust of wind and entered the area where Sutum was.

The sound of the trumpet is sometimes high and sometimes low, and it seems to have some kind of wonderful rhythm that makes people unconsciously indulge in it.

The negative emotions in Sutum's heart were inexplicably aroused, black light appeared around him, and people also rose from the ground in a trance, as if he had the urge to become a demon.

However, he is not a mortal after all, and his mental will has long been tempered in the confrontation with the negative emotions in his body. In an instant, he restrained the impulse.

"Is this the power of the devil? There's another demon in this place. ”

Sutum naturally had a hint of vigilance in his heart.

His eyes moved to Sha Li and the others, and his eyelids jumped.

The eyes of the four people were glowing red, their breathing was heavy, and their faces suddenly became extremely hideous. One by one, they roared: "Kill you, kill you......"

It was as if it were controlled by the sound of the trumpet.

The warriors around him, who had been hit hard before and had not yet lost their breath, also staggered at this time, twisting their bodies and rushing over. The warriors all had expressions of hatred on their faces, and they looked at Sutum with a gaze as if they were going to devour him alive.

"It's ......"

Sutum was faintly aware of the power behind the sound of the horn.

"Revenge!

In the void, there seemed to be a roar of voices, igniting a raging fire called hatred in everyone's hearts.

The remaining four [hero] level powerhouses took the remaining warriors to kill Sutum.

Sutum's eyes flickered with a fierce light, and the crimson fire on his body exploded violently.

A moment later.

Only Sally and Soth on the ground were deliberately left alive by Sutum, and the surrounding area was scorched earth. All the other fighters who were controlled were burned to ashes by Sutum.

The sound of the trumpet has long since faded, and Shari has regained consciousness. Realizing what had just happened, Sha Li looked frightened and trembled a little. She already understood that she was being controlled just now, and she had murderous intentions towards Sutum.

"Take him and follow me. ”

Sutum commanded in a cold voice.

He then dragged Talos out of the room to wake him up.

"The host ......"

Talos spoke, and seemed to have many things to say, and fell silent again.

"I'll talk about it later. ”

Sutum patted him on the shoulder. Sharp eyes looked in the direction from which the trumpet came from in the distance, thoughtfully.

"The place is getting more and more lively. What is the purpose of this strange demon?"

Spread out his palm, a trace of black gas flashed away.

......

Since ancient times, there have been legends of sacred objects in the Western Continent. A fetish, with no specific shape or effectβ€”it could be a metal, a plant, a life, or even a peculiar vision. According to the definition of a fetish, Sutum's data can also include "conceptual eggs" that can forge artifacts or give birth to demons.

No matter what kind of fetish, there is no doubt that it can bring unimaginable benefits.

Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of lucky people in the Western Continent who have obtained divine objects. Some of these mortals have awakened their bloodlines and become prophets, some have taken the opportunity to turn into angels, and some mortals have gained power through divine objects and opened up a city...... Even the worst lucky ones can gain unparalleled wealth and status with the help of fetishes.

Whether it is Thorth, Taban, or Shari, as well as many strange forces in the city, almost all of them have come for this artifact.

Where did the news of the artifact come from, and how it reached the city where these people were, even Soth and the others didn't know. The only thing they knew for sure was that there was indeed a fluctuation of the artifact in the city of Sisos - the so-called fluctuation, that is, the shock of the Force felt by Sutum.

There are strong people behind Soth and the others who surpass the prophets, and it is not difficult to sense the fluctuations of the Force.

"The fetish is so important, why are you people the only ones coming?"

Sutum looked at Soth and Shari with interest, a little puzzled. In his opinion, although Soth was a prophet, his strength was not very strong.

Soth had been woken up by Sutum at this time, his body was locked with copper locks, and he also had spiked iron rings around his neck, unable to use force. Hearing Sutum's words, he snorted coldly: "If it weren't for some conspiracy, you might not be able to beat me." ”

Shari understood what Sutum meant, and explained: "Although the gods are important, the effect on the angels and other powerhouses in the cities is limited, and they are not so interested. ”

"Artifacts are only more attractive to those of us who are not at a certain level. ”

"Moreover, strong people such as angels need to sit in the city and rarely leave. In the general competition for divine objects, the prophet who awakens the power of the bloodline is already considered a top powerhouse. ”

Only then did Sutum realize that there was something wrong with his thinking. He has always used the existence of the Angel and Demon class as a reference for his strength, while Soth and the others are aimed at ordinary humans.

For human beings, the [Hero] level of force is already quite considerable, and the [Prophet] is a strong man who can manipulate energy. Whether it was Soth, the dead Taban, or even Shari, their strength was already qualified to compete for the gods in their own eyes.

"Why did you provoke me? To be honest, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have even heard of a fetish. ”

"It wasn't that Taban idiot who did it. ”

Soth seemed furious, and said gloomily, "That fool is from Storm City. One of his brothers had some contradictions with your slave, and when he saw that your slave seemed to be living a nourishing life, he naturally became dissatisfied. ”

"And it just so happens that he's heard something from you. I want to lure you out through that slave, capture you, and get the secret of the fetish. ”

Sutum frowned: "When did I have a relationship with the so-called fetish?"

Sha Li hurriedly said, "Before the appearance of the artifact, there will be a long period of incubation. During this period, some of its power will escape. ”

"Some people or objects can sense this power and produce some wonderful changes. When Taban arrives in the city of Sisos, he discovers something as a novelty as a glass mirror, and thinks that you are influenced by a fetish and has gained some kind of enlightenment. ”

"Sure enough, it's an idiot. ”

When Sutum heard this, he was very "impressed" by Taban's association.

"Well, now that the conflict has occurred, you have managed to arouse my anger. So now, what can you do to impress me and spare your lives?"

Sutum's expression was as cold as frost, looking at the two of them, killing intent was like a tide.

Soth's eyes widened, a little incredulous, and he roared:

"Do you want to kill me? Holy Mountain City is not comparable to a small city like Sisos, I am the heir of Holy Mountain City, the inheritor of [Thunder Blood], one of the twelve candidates for the ruler, if you kill me......"

"Whew"

A flash of fire passed through his ears, and Thos's voice came to an abrupt halt.

"Any more nonsense, and you can die. ”

Sutum was cold and menacing.

"Hurry up and think about what you value to me. ”

Soth and Shari glanced at each other, as if lost in thought. Halfway through, Soth spoke:

"I can tell you all about fetishes. ”

"These messages can't get your life back. ”

"I can give you countless riches and treasures. ”

"Is the artifact you're looking for valuable?"

"I ......"

After talking for a long time, Soth's mouth was dry, and he couldn't impress Sutum, so he couldn't help but shout: "Damn, what do you want? You can do anything you want except my life." ”

Sutum sneered: "In that case, I'll give you a chance." Within ten years, you obeyed all my commands in exchange for your life. Of course, the order I give you will not involve any danger to your life. ”

"This can't be, you're making me a slave. ”

Soth's reflexive refusal, and then saw the undisguised murderous intent in Sutum's eyes, his face turned red, and he was silent.

After a while, he finally compromised: "Ten years is too long, one year at most." ”

"That's three years. If not, then you're going to die. ”

Soth reluctantly accepted this offer.

Sutum turned his gaze to Shari.

The latter nodded without hesitation: "I accept your conditions." ”

"In that case, the first thing you have to do is to convince me that you will keep your promise. ”

A moment later, Sutum saw two scrolls made of animal skins. The scroll shimmered with a faint red light, and Sutum's mirror could see the layers of runes and patterns inside.

"This is a contract scroll made by a sage in the Holy Mountain City. It can use the power of both parties to the contract as an introduction to generate binding power in both parties. If either party does not abide by the terms of the contract, they will be killed by their own forces. ”

Soth said with some pride.

The so-called sage refers to a person who does not have any strength, but has great insight and knowledge. Its status is on a par with that of the prophets.

If you want to become a sage, you must pass the certification of at least three cities, which is extremely rare. Similarly, the number of cities with sages is small.

There are no sages in a city like Sisos.

Sutum touched the scroll, and a strange image suddenly appeared in his mind: a demon with six arms wrapped in pitch-black chains and a human head and snake body roared loudly in the flames, as if sensing his gaze, and a chain with a conical top stabbed at him......

"Hehe, what kind of sage is this, it's clearly a demon hidden in the city. ”

Sutum secretly admired in his heart.

The demon who made this scroll should have the power of the concept of "contract". Being able to blend in a big city like the Holy Mountain City without being discovered, and being able to mix with the status of a sage, his strength and wisdom are far above Sutum.

"There is such a magical thing, why hasn't it been circulated?"

"Soon, this kind of scroll has become popular in the Holy Mountain City. It won't be long before all cities will have this kind of reel for sale. ”

Soth's face was full of confidence.

As the three of them wrote various terms and information on the two scrolls, the scrolls turned into several flames and merged into the bodies of the three of them.

Sutum suddenly felt that the power in his body was more inexplicably restrained, and as long as the thought of breaking the contract was born in his heart, the power in his body began to riot.

"Awesome. The contract demon who created the scroll is at least the rank of the middle demon. ”

Sutum sighed secretly.

This also made him stronger ** increase again. The world is dangerous, and the stronger you are, the better your chance of survival.

After signing the contract, Sutum had two more powerful subordinates in three years.

Originally, he didn't know how to deal with Soth and Shari, whether it was killing or releasing them, they were a little in conflict with his principles, but now he was a little more surprised.

After dealing with these things, a trace of black qi appeared in Sutum's hand, he closed his eyes, sensed the aura above the black qi, and began to determine the location of the owner of the black qi.

He didn't like the feeling of being snooped on by someone around him, and he had to find this demon with the power to induce "hatred".

After some searching, he snapped his eyes open.

This demon actually appeared around here.
