Chapter 581: The Lament of the Mulberry (Ask for a Recommendation Ticket!Ask for a Monthly Pass!)
Demons from hell", this is Yataro's evaluation of the alien mercenaries under the command of Queth. Together with his colleagues, he was fleeing out of the Naoetsu talent market in a hurry. The calm bearing of the past can no longer be found at this moment.
I wish I had two more legs, no, four legs. Seeing some stewards galloping wildly on six-legged horses, Yataro couldn't help but feel a longing in his heart. It's just that even if he has a beast with legs, he can't escape with it, because he can't ride.
Unlike them, who were fleeing out, the generals who were responsible for guarding the Naoetsu talent market all led their men to rush in in a hurry. Naoetsu is a place favored by both the U-so Senate and the General General, and there is no room for any mistakes.
But what will happen here, not only do they say it or not, but even those "big shots" of the Usang Empire are actually disqualified from talking now. Because Quis has returned from the bottomless abyss to the world of ashes, only he has spoken here.
And he didn't do it out of bullying - though he certainly had the power to do so - the Usang Empire had made many deals with the demons of the lower realms and signed many contracts with hell. And those contracts, after accepting some of the rewards won by the victory in the bloody battle, are now in the hands of Quest.
Not to mention the mere Zhijiangjin Talent Market, according to the compound interest calculation method and discount ratio of the devils, the entire Usang Empire is currently used as a repayment item, but in fact, it is not enough to fill the holes in those dozens of contracts. It can be said that, from the point of view of Barto's Law, the entire U-Sang Empire, including those so-called nobles and senate families, is currently the property of Quest.
As Quis's diplomatic attachΓ©, Namen, who wears a seamless "contract demon" skin, but is actually a Leviathan creature, has followed the vanguard to the world of ashes. He was poring through the copies of the debt deeds of the Usang Empire, preparing for the various tasks that would need to be negotiated.
"It's so stupid that you would believe that the 'Splitting Rabbit Skin' business can also be profitable," Namen wondered a little, how could anyone believe in this kind of business designed by some Anzu Demon officials in Bato's Nine Prisons, "In order to obtain profits that don't exist at all, I also took so many human souls as collateral and made a loan to the support and financing center of Aphners, I ...... calculated"
The so-called "Aphurnas Support and Financing Center" is a for-profit organization run by the acting lord of the first level of the Bato Nine Prisons. Its main business is to provide financial "support" to mortals on the physical plane after collecting collateral.
It's just that as a kind of loan, this financial support not only abides by the basic principle of "nine out of thirteen", but also fluctuates the interest rate according to the customer's rating. The current U-sang Empire's rating has been downgraded to a very low level, so interest rates have risen to unbelievable levels.
"The loan of 50,000 soul prisms has turned into a repayment of 150,000 soul prisms every year, and it is only interest," Namen couldn't help but sneer, "Well, the group of Usang people who signed the contract are not very familiar with the rules of writing the purgatory language of the flower characters. I don't know if I change the direction of a skimming slightly, these soul prisms that need to be repaid, the grade has risen by two levels. It is then converted according to the number of mortal souls required to make a soul prism...... They pay 300,000 mortal souls to Bato Nine every year. β
300,000 mortals is almost the total amount of the annual "talent trade" of the Usang Empire, and this is only a contractual debt that needs to be repaid. There are more than 20 similar contracts, and there are more than a dozen of them owed. It can be said that just if they want to repay these "IOUs" in Namen's hands, they will have to pay them back for ten lifetimes.
According to the rules of Bato's Nine Prisons, only a 100-fold profit can be considered a "good business", and a contract with a mere 100 times the profit can only be regarded as a "non-performing asset" at best. It's fitting to use these things to offset the rewards of bloody generals. So when Quest asked for these things, the logistics management department of the Bartow Expeditionary Corps directly stamped and approved them, without the slightest hesitation or reluctance. It even thoughtfully included a large-scale interdimensional teleportation as compensation for Quest.
At this time, those high-ranking Wosang bigwigs didn't know that their biggest creditor had personally come to the door. As Quest stepped out of the portal with a few of his companions, the battle in the Naoetsu Teleportation Square soon came to an end. The light curtain between the stone doors made of granite flickered twice, and then disappeared completely.
Nearly 100,000 mortal mercenaries from the Alternate Plane who had experienced bloody battles - they were now Ques's "personal soldiers" - lined up in the square, ready to attack anyone who dared to defy the will of the young blue dragon. In their eyes, a legion leader who can go to the bottomless abyss to slay a demon lord is like a god or even a god, and his will cannot be thwarted.
Seeing Quest walk out of the portal, Namon, who had been waiting here, hurriedly bent down to salute before speaking, "I'm going to talk to those captured tongues." By the way, tell them what contracts the Senate and the General General have signed, and how much responsibility they have to bear for those 'big men'. β
Hearing his words, Quis nodded, and only added, "Hurry up, if you can't do it, you will come to the door in person." β
"As you wish," Namen smiled, "if they cooperate, they can survive for a few days while leaving a glimmer of hope for themselves and their descendants." If they don't cooperate, then you can send someone to talk to the so-called 'elders'. But no matter what choice they have, the debt owed to hell cannot be left unpaid. From this day on, the U-sangs will only be left with mournful hymns to sing. β
Namon, who perfectly inherited all the abilities of the contract demon, also inherited the vicious heart of the Batzu devil. All he wanted to do was to find a few people in charge of the Naoetsu talent market, reveal the deal between the Imperial Senate and the General General and the Bato Nine Prisons, and tell them, "The fate of you, along with all your descendants, has been put on the gambling table by those 'big guys', and unfortunately, they have lost all their pants." β
With the ability of the contract demon, those people will surely believe his word. Even if they didn't believe it, Namen had a copy of the deed available to inspect. Any mage who performs "Detecting Lies" will surely prove that what he says is true. As for what will happen after that, there is no need to say more.
