Chapter 128: Expulsion
"My lord, I don't know what you said about the cooperation ......."
Compared with just now, although George XIII was still cautious at this time, he no longer had that submissive appearance. www.biquge.info not only Mephistopheles's friendliness made him let go of some worries, but the promotion of strength also gave him a lot of confidence.
"Don't worry, I won't force you to seek death, win-win is the purpose of my cooperation with you. ”
George XIII's change was seen by Mephistopheles, and he didn't discourage the other party's thoughts, because now he needed the other party's vitality.
This middle-aged king is not a shallow Meng Luo, he is very aware of the gap between himself and the "demigod" rank, and he will never be unable to find his position because of a slight increase in strength.
Although Mephistopheles is not a demigod, the gap between them is almost equal for those below the demigod.
The devil understands the interests of this guy who has been a puppet for more than forty years, otherwise he would not use the power of "Frost Primordial" and "Fury" to help him improve his realm.
"Speaking of which, this king's own accumulation is really good, such a little rough stone can allow him to break through the barrier of the elemental wall, and basically does not consume his own vitality much. ”
The "Frost Rough Stone" in Mephistopheles' mouth is not a natural mineral, but is refined by himself by condensing the power of frost. Most of the fist-sized primordial stones had been consumed to boost the avatar's strength, and the rest had been integrated into George XIII's body.
Of course, it is impossible for George XIII to advance with the "Frost Rough Stone" alone, and he is not the incarnation of Mephistopheles, so he does not need to attack the "Elemental Wall", as long as he absorbs the appropriate elements.
In order to show "sincerity", Mephistopheles used the power of "anger" at his disposal.
This law can multiply people's own strength, and there is no sequelae of weakness afterwards, which is far more powerful than the "madness" of barbarians.
However, "Anger" digs too deep into the potential of life, and if you can't keep your sanity under the impact of anger, then the user's vitality is likely to be exhausted in the infinite digging depth, and then the whole body will turn into wisps of light smoke in the crimson flames and dissipate in the wind.
The devil didn't intend to let George XIII die like this, he just needed to borrow the other party's life force to help him break through the golden rank, otherwise how could he leave a deep impression on the other party with omnipotence?
It's just that what he didn't expect was that the other party's accumulation exceeded his expectations, with the "Frost Rough Stone" as the introduction, and the "Anger" was just a little "teasing", and before he consumed much vitality, he had already broken the shackles of the silver rank and stepped into the threshold of gold.
"I don't know what I can do to help you?"
George XIII didn't believe a word about Mephistopheles' words, he was forty-two years old this year, long past the age of dreaming, and wanted him to convince himself that "a demon baron sent the embodiment of demigod strength to the main plane to send him warmth", it is better to directly prove that he is the illegitimate son of His Highness Io in the mortal world.
However, suspicion is suspicion, but on the bright side he must show a look of conviction, although this attitude cannot deceive anyone.
This gesture is not so much a manifestation of the hypocrisy of politicians as it is a form of political etiquette, for which attitude is always more important than truth.
"Of course, your help is extremely important in the implementation of our plan, and I think you don't have to worry about your own safety, because for us, you are irreplaceable. ”
Mephistopheles' compliment added a chill to George XIII's heart, and he smiled wryly and excused himself, while secretly wary.
George heard the murderous intent in the devil's words, a rusty, pungent smell that he knew all too well, for he had often smelled it in his forty-two years of life.
The keen judgment of the crisis made the king understand the devil's intentions at the first time, the other party had no intention of killing him, or rather, not yet, the rich words seemed to be soaked in the pool of blood, more like a warning to him.
"Please command. ”
George XIII performed a knightly salute, a ritual that a knight would only perform when he met the monarch, and he used it to express his attitude of cooperation.
"You're smart," Mephistopheles nodded approvingly, "and a smart person should look like." ”
"You're wrong, I'm a little clever, barely able to keep up with your pace, compared to you, it's too far behind. ”
George hurriedly rejected the devil's praise, he just wanted to earn a little life from the hands of the "demon" in front of him, but he never intended to work for him sincerely, the higher the other party put him, the more dangerous the task given to him would inevitably be, and after the task failed, the more painful he fell.
Of course, this kind of thought and inference did not appear in his mind, after all, the person in front of him still has some kind of secret art that can peek into the hearts of others.
For the guarded superiors, the "mind reading" was not very useful: first, there was a lot of training in the aristocratic education to deal with this secret art, and second, every superior was a brilliant politician.
For politicians, it is instinct to deceive others, and it is the ability to deceive themselves.
George XIII's prevarication did not anger Mephistopheles, and the devil knew that this was just a test of his bottom line, and wanted to judge whether he still had any hope of survival after the deed.
Mere threats do not motivate others to take the initiative, and the devil who is good at manipulating people's hearts knows this very well, but he also knows that threats and oppression can bring fear and awe, and these two points are the prerequisites for being able to negotiate "cooperation" with "politicians".
"It's time to give him a goal. ”
Mephistopheles smelled the other party's uneasiness from George XIII's prevarication and temptation, and felt that the time for a "showdown" had come.
The devil glanced at the empty hall around it, and said with a point: "Imperial capital, it's better to be empty, what do you think?"
"What my lord said is that I want it to be empty, but it's not something I can do. ”
George XIII certainly understood what the other party meant, but he had no intention of charging forward for the other party.
What are you kidding, expelling all the temples in the imperial capital?
You really dare to think that not to mention that it is just a projection of a demon baron, even if the demon grand duke is here, I am afraid that it will not be able to complete such a crazy feat, right?
"Banish these unsightly temples," Mephistopheles' words confirmed George XIII's suspicions, "and without their shackles, you will be the true king, and...... Mephistopheles' electorate. ”
