Keaton eventually accepted Nammon's gift.

Those fallen mages were all collected into his execution chamber by the chain demon commander who tried to evolve into a hidden demon.

After retreating, the two former colleagues began a lengthy negotiation meeting in the audience room of the Chain Demon Fortress.

"It's getting more and more simple. ”

Standing on the smooth floor of white iron, looking at Keaton hanging from the ceiling on his own chains, Namen sighed a little insincerely.

The latter only rolled over and made a "bang" chain collision sound, but he didn't want to add a chair to the guest at all.

This is also one of the old routines of Batzu, when negotiating, they will always spare no effort to use small means to build up some psychological pressure on the opponent.

"What the hell are you here for, if you're just here to give me a gift, then I'm sorry, my time is ......"

“...... Who's time isn't precious," Namen choked, "However, you are indeed busier than the other devils, after all, it is really difficult to have enough time while you are busy researching and advancing to the Evil Hidden Demon, and at the same time you have to deal with the upcoming 'Worm Tide'. ”

"Can your words be interpreted as a threat? ”

Although it is a questioning sentence, it expresses affirmation, and the face of the Chain Demon Commander is covered by chains, making it impossible to see through his expression.

"Speculating on the motives of words is almost one of Batezus's instincts," Namen stretched out an index finger and shook it slightly, "but every student who has been able to graduate from that terrible academy in Nessers has long since abandoned this crude instinct, and we have all been specially trained to analyze the motives behind them. ”

Seeing that the other party was silent, Namen shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "The threat is mostly for profit, please forgive me for taking the liberty of what oil and water do you think I can squeeze out of you? Is it the execution chamber of Bloodrope City, or the treasure cave of Minaroth?"

"Wake up, **, squad leader, pioneer sir, and side uncle...... Everything you have, it's not worth mentioning to me at all. ”

"If you want to make a profit by harming you, I can have written your ambition in a written report, although it will probably not have any real reward, but at least you can be honored with meritorious service, and you may be able to get the opportunity to advance if you accumulate a lot. ”

Using a trick of speech, Namen taunted Keaton before continuing to talk.

"The purpose of coming to you is easy to say, but it is a little more difficult to implement - I am here to give you a suggestion. ”

As he spoke, Namen raised his hand, and a faint glow of fluorescence leaped from his fingertips, outlining a map in the air like a paintbrush.

The City of Sin, which had been devoured by the Traction City, was remarked, and from a straight line, it was actually not too far from the Bloody Rope City.

"The territory of the two of us can be described as interdependent. ”

Namen gestured, and several more Devil's Fortresses appeared on the fluorescent map, but they were all marked with a cross.

"These are forts destroyed by the tide of worms, take a closer look at them, connect them and you'll find ......" After a pause, giving Keaton a moment to think, Namen continued, "...... Our fortresses were also under attack. ”

"But your Sinkarma City is closer to those destroyed fortresses, so why don't you go back and organize defenses quickly?"

Seizing the opportunity to gain the advantage of words, Chaindemon Commander Keaton immediately retorted.

The activated chains on his body popped out, strung the destroyed fortresses on the map in turn, and then tied a dead knot in the location of Namen's Sinkarma City.

"The tide of worms is only closer to you," Namen shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "In fact, my Sinkarma City has been completely destroyed, and it has been wiped out on the plane of the Acid Mist Canyon. ”

The circle of lies was carved in the audience room, but the Chain Demon Commander did not receive any hint at all - Namen did not lie, he only stated part of the truth - the city of Karma had been digested by the intestines of the city, and his banner had also been collected by Quith, compared to the contract demon commander who had been judged dead by Stim, the tide of worms was indeed closer to Keaton.

"Damn, you got out, wait...... You're trying to make me your shield!"

Thinking of this, Keaton immediately burst into a rage, "This cunning contract demon, I will kill you, this is my fortress!"

"I advise you to think twice," Namen did not panic, "First of all, I can escape the pursuit of the Worm Legion, do you think that with your fortress defense, you will definitely be able to trap and kill me?" Secondly, even if you kill me and capture the Banner, then the next target of the Worm Tide will definitely be you, if I die or not, you will be attacked, but if I live, if I see that your Blood Rope City cannot resist the attack of the Worm Legion, I will definitely choose to flee again, then the Worm Legion will also follow me away, and your Blood Rope City may be saved. ”

Seeing Keaton slide down the chain to the ground, Namen knew that his plan had worked: "It's a lose-lose choice, neither of us can gain anything from it, and of course, you'll have more to lose than I do." ”

As he spoke, Namen patted his loincloth, meaning that he only had these belongings—those who were barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes.

But if Keaton believed him, it would really hell, "Listen to you, I have another choice, such as taking that advice from you?"

"Yes, if you don't try that advice, you will definitely suffer a great loss, but if you try the advice, not only can it have some stop-loss effect, but it may also allow you to carry the tide of worms, and even win the throne of the ultimate overlord. ”

"What about the proposal?" - the fish had bitten the hook, Namen said in his heart, but there was still no wave on his face.

"If you want to evolve into the Hidden Demon, you must have a certain understanding of those ancient Forbidden Chains Demons, but I don't know if you know the existence of Chain Demon creatures that have evolved more than the Hidden Demons, such as: Baroness Finale, Skin Seeker, Skull Gatherer, Pale Death, ......"

"You're talking about the 'Hustle Lord', that is, the kind of highest-level 'chain bearer' similar to the nine great lords of Bato!"

Perhaps because he was too excited, Keaton said this like an ordinary chain demon, making a sound of chains rubbing.

"As a brilliant clerical worker, I have read for hundreds of years in the great library of the deepest part of Bartow's Nine Prisons, which was truly an unforgettable experience. ”

"I know a way to give ordinary chain demons a certain chance to directly evolve into the highest level of 'hustle and bustle', and this method does have a successful precedent, once the city lord of Hitt City, the Duke of Chain Demon's 'Screaming Voice', successfully completed the evolution, but he finally defected from the Nine Prisons and went to the shadow realm to hide until now. ”
