Chapter 103: Imperial Capital (Medium)
After finding a letter of conversation between Riffin and Bishop Kalien, "Greed" left the Hotel Vanslino contented. He had already chosen his next goal www.biquge.info and the only thing he had to do now was to prepare.
At the same time, the devil hiding inside the statue also smiled......
"Did something happen, my lord?"
"Jealous" tilted his head to look at Mephistopheles, the flames in his eyes forming an opposing vortex, as if trying to express his inner curiosity.
"That brother of yours is about to get moving, and things are getting interesting. ”
For this "cute" little guy, Mephistopheles is very fond of it, so she never skimps on her own explanations.
He ...... Going to die in this operation, right?"
"Haven't you already guessed it. ”
"It's a pity," the drooping snake's hair obscured the bloodthirsty scarlet, "I can't tear him apart with my own hands!"
"You should learn to be friendly, kid. ”
Mephistopheles spoke in a calm tone what he himself considered pointless advice, not so much admonishing the other person as he was adjusting his mindset through conversation.
It is true that the devil can endure a thousand years of loneliness and bury all calculations deep in his heart, but he does not like this feeling, because it will make his heart feel depressed and heavy.
In order to regulate one's heart, communication is essential, even if it is only about meaningless nonsense.
In fact, Mephistopheles has been rejoicing, glad that he has refined the incarnation of Count Cheno. If it weren't for the other party's experience and memory over the years as an adjustment, he knew that he would never have such a vivid mentality as he has now, and it would be impossible for him to progress so fast in the comprehension of the law.
"Friendly?" the boy shook his head, clearly disagreeing with the other man's teachings, "There is no friendship! You know me, my lord, jealousy is my name and the source of my strength, and if I really cease to be jealous, then I will cease to exist." ”
"You're wonderful," the devil was pleased with the boy's answer, "much better than your self-righteous brother." ”
"Really?"
Hearing Mephistopheles' praise, the boy was very happy, and even the snake's hair on his head became a little more lively because of it.
"Of course," the devil was very upset with what "greed" had done: "He was devoted to enjoyment, and wanted to satisfy his possessiveness as much as possible. ”
"Then he's such a fool!" "Jealous" was quite disdainful of the other party's behavior of only looking at the present.
"Yes, utter fool!" said the Devil coldly, "he is just a muddy fragment that I have stripped from myself, and does not have the ability to extract desires to enhance myself. All consumption comes from his own law composition, and once the consumption reaches a certain level, then he will usher in his own death. ”
In this case, he should find a way to arouse his greed. Only in this way can he live longer. But what about him, he is actually trying to satisfy his own thirst, suppress the breeding of greed, and completely seek his own death!"
"Calm your temper," the boy admonished, "why be angry for a fool." ”
Under the persuasion of "jealousy", Mephistopheles quickly adjusted his emotions. Of course, he knew that the "greedy" approach was a last resort, but that didn't stop him from being angry about it.
With the weak will that has just been born with "greed", it is simply impossible to resist the greed that comes from instinct. In order to suppress this instinct and truly take control of his body, he must satisfy his desires as much as possible, even if it affects his strength and "longevity".
If Greed had taken full control of his body, he might have been able to break free from Mephistopheles and gain his independence, but this was impossible, as the devil had already arranged for him to die.
In fact, what "jealousy" is doing is no different from "greed", the only difference is that the boy uses the method of improving his own strength to help himself control his body, while the latter uses the means of weakening his own strength to suppress his instincts, so as to achieve the goal of complete control of himself.
That's why Mephistopheles praised the boy and scolded "greed" for being a complete fool.
After all, the stronger chess pieces can definitely play a better role than the original, but the weakened subordinates will not only not bring surprises, but will also add a lot of trouble to him.
The devil was not afraid of trouble, and he had expected it.
He went to see "Greed" as Count Chenault and "Jealousy" as Mephistopheles, just to get two pawns, one weak and one strong.
Therefore, the current situation is deliberately created by him, and at least until now, the development of events is still within his expectations.
Of course, the anger he had just shown was just a show, and he knew that the boy wouldn't believe it, but as long as it disturbed his thoughts.
In fact, it's not just the devil who acts, but "jealousy" and "greed" all the time. It doesn't matter if it's sincere or a lie, it's just an instinct to disguise oneself.
These two "little guys" are not simple, and Mephistopheles knows this very well, so not only does he never underestimate them, but he is wary of them enough.
It is precisely because of fear that he will only treat the opponent as a short-term pawn, rather than a long-term subordinate.
Because even he himself is not sure that he can hold two dissenting conspirators in his hands for a long time. All he could do was drain their value before they were out of his grip and send them to the cemetery.
"If this damn bitch dares to make you angry, I'm going to kill him!"
"Jealousy" said viciously, like a devout believer whose faith has been dishonored.
"He's going to get into action anyway, stupid or wise, and soon it has nothing to do with me. Mephistopheles looked at the boy in front of him and said pointedly: "I hate eating waste waiting for death, and I like hard-working and motivated children." Since he hasn't forgotten his business, I don't mind ignoring some of his little actions in secret. ”
"He's so happy!"
"What?"
"He's so happy to be able to accomplish a task that you value so much! Actually, if you give me a chance, I'll definitely do better than him!"
"Jealous" patted his chest and assured that he would give up his life at any time for the devil's command.
"For example?"
"Let me do it, my lord, I promise to do better than that fool, and I won't piss you off. ”
"You know, 'jealousy'. The devil's tone became cold: "You can't get out of my sight until that fool dies, don't have another temptation, kid, or I won't mind another candidate!"
Of course, Mephistopheles can't let "greed" and "jealousy" meet, the difference in information between them is an important guarantee for the devil to make the other party unconsciously act according to his own ideas, if the two careerists exchange the information and intelligence they have with each other, then it will definitely bring a lot of trouble to the devil's follow-up plan.
"You're wrong about me, sir," the boy was very aggrieved, "I'm just desperate to do things for you, and I have absolutely no other ideas." ”
"Perhaps, whether I want to or not, I don't want to have a next time. ”
"I'll take notice, my lord. Can you tell me when I can start doing things for you?"
"Soon, you just need to be a little more patient!"
"That'...... Where am I going?"
"Imperial Capital!"
