Chapter 237: The Dormant Monsters (3)
"Hmm~!...... It's finally here...... Didn't tire me out......" In the territory of the empire, on a mountain in Cui Wei, Vasis was lying on the ground panting, and in front of him was the door of a large cottage made of pure iron. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The base camp of the Demons Near. Of course, it is impossible to set up a kingdom in the atmosphere of the whole people fighting against the demons, but in the empire, even if such a brilliant building is built blatantly, those high-level people will ignore it as if they don't see it.
Because they were given a lot of money, even if they knew that they were a group of pagans who worshiped the demon race, they maintained an attitude of turning a blind eye. Vasis could understand that the beliefs of a nation that were both human beings were contrary to each other, but he was still amazed to this day.
The empire has been corrupted by corrupt bureaucracy, and has the richest upper class, but the real power is not comparable to that of the kingdom, not even the last state in the original statehood.
At this time, the state could not become a "state", and it had been divided into many lords with their own certain areas, leading their own armies to carry out endless conquests with the covetousness of other lords. Although it is not as good as the kingdom warriors who are opponents of the fierce demons, it is still a battle-hardened state army, at least it is more than enough to crush the imperial army that has been comfortable for too long.
The [Near-Demons] organization, which uses money and various benefits to bribe the upper echelons of the Empire, is certainly not a good bird, and this is all too clear to Vasis. The rulers are as corrupt as the upper echelons of the empire, but it is precisely because of this smell that they will be at peace with each other.
The reason why the Near-Demon is the Near-Demon is that he worships the powerful Demon Clan, so he abandons his position as a human being. But they are not worshipping the strong physical functions of the demons, but the living habits of their land. To put it simply, it is to believe in the absolute freedom of the law of the jungle and let desire control the body.
"All love that is not for the purpose of marriage is a hooligan. "Human beings live in groups, and naturally there will be rules to make everyone get along with each other. The idea that the demons yearn for an unfettered life is just justifying their crimes, and it is really wishful thinking.
The efficiency of such a system is extremely poor, if it weren't for the [human and demon war] in an emergency, I'm afraid it wouldn't have spent a lot of manpower and material resources to make action, but Rao is like this, and it took a long time to make high-level decision-makers make a choice, if you don't ask for it seriously, I'm afraid that the previous actions will not exist.
Even so, I messed up such an important action. Except for his own escape, the hundreds of good men he brought over all died under the sword of the kingdom soldiers or in the strict prisons. If you really want to compete with a behemoth like the kingdom, is this organization still too reluctant?
Vasis thought dejectedly. Those high-level officials probably don't think about this, and they don't even know where the direction of the kingdom is. All they see is the fact that they have failed.
There is no way, they will definitely suffer a certain degree of punishment, with their urine nature, they probably have to hand over a certain amount of money themselves, and they will not harm their lives otherwise. He is one of the few "useful guys" in the entire organization, and to kill himself is to cut himself off in vain, believing that they are not stupid enough to be that kind.
There are as many ways to accumulate wealth. Just pray that the other person doesn't embarrass himself too much.
The closer he got to the gate of the camp, the lower Vasis's mood became. The news of his return had already been notified to the headquarters with a magic guide, and of course, the tragic situation of his messing up was known to the higher-ups. At that time, the other party simply shouted angrily, stating that he would have to send someone to escort him in on the day he returned.
Vasis was also ready to be detained by the fierce men waiting at the gate.
But no one was there.
It was much more than Vasis expected.
Obviously, the other party is such a small-bellied person, so he let himself go so easily?!, but when he looked closely, he found that it was not such a simple problem. Not only the expected big man waiting at the door, but even the soldiers who usually stand guard on the lookout platform, and the bustling merchants did not appear here, presenting a sense of death-like silence.
No matter how you look at it, it's not good. The timid Vasis did not hesitate to stop his steps.
Could it be that it was overwhelmed by the Imperial army? It's hard to believe that a loosely organized army would have such strength, but if it was the private army of some big man, it might still be possible. After all, in order to protect their own safety, some nobles are not short of money at all, and they must spare no effort to cultivate their subordinates. The soldiers trained at any cost are certainly not something that the soft-footed shrimp in the organization can handle.
Could it be that he has formed a mortal enmity with such a great nobleman?! Thinking of this, Vasis almost couldn't help but curse, those idiot high-level people!
Those who play too much with fire eventually set themselves on fire. I obviously warned them about this as a warning, but they didn't take it as a thing at all, and even scolded myself because of the bad mood.
The reason why they are punished and unwilling to leave the organization is because there is still potential for this organization to be exploited, after all, it is a group of fanatics who have abandoned their beliefs and will not resist anything they do. Leading such a group of people is morally unjustifiable, but unexpectedly easy.
Of course, the most important purpose is that the money you have hidden is still buried somewhere inside. It was a large enough amount of money to be buried in a place where he was buried and he was sure that no one would find it. But if you can't even get in, then it's no different from never holding the money.
As a result, after a period of psychological struggle, Vasis decided to find out.
The gate must be dead, and he decided to climb over the wall and go inside. It was also a long time ago that he had done a detailed investigation here, after all, it was also a place to enter his office, and it was not an upright organization in the end. If someone attacks you, even if you can't take everyone with you, you have to try your best to escape.
As a result, when I climbed over a low wall, I saw nothing. The imaginary sight of corpses and mutilated weapons did not appear as expected. For a while, he was confused.
There was a real enemy attacking, and the sound of no movement was clearly after the end of the battle. Obviously, his boss had just spoken to him a day ago, and it was obviously impossible to complete the battle and clean up the battlefield in a short period of time. So far, this possibility can only be ruled out.
Where did everyone run to?! Doubts made him careless, so he let go of his steps and ran hard in the camp. As a result, everywhere is empty, and none of the guys who usually see chatting everywhere and talking about idleness are gone.
[Third-Order Magic, Bright Eyes]. In the first chapter, this is the magic used by the generals of the kingdom when they first discover the traces of the demon king, and the effect is that they can see the subtle things in their place, and the activities of some creatures can also be expressed in the form of other naked eyes.
No, no, no, no. Vasis swept through the rows of houses as he ran, the camp was not small, and there were many buildings that had not yet been explored, but the lack of people in the restaurants, residences, and the most luxurious entertainment places was already extremely abnormal.
Running and running, Vasis finally stopped in his tracks.
He finally found everyone's traces. And it's not just one person, judging from the breath, it's obvious that everyone is crammed into one space. The location is the least likely of all buildings: the Great Hall.
The three human kingdoms all have a religion that worships the goddess Sophia, so it creates a feeling that they can't live without faith. As a result, the [Demon Nearer] organization has built such an auditorium, which feels quite shoddy, but the space is definitely enough, and it can barely accommodate the entire camp. The god enshrined is naturally the god on the side of the demon race: the demon god Satan.
That said, with the exception of a few fanatics at the top, almost no one would set foot here. After all, as a human at the beginning, there weren't many guys who would really worship demons. Most of them come here to take refuge in the gang to evade responsibility and commit crimes, and the membership is mixed, and there is no cohesion or anything at all.
Such guys, but unusually all gathered in the auditorium. Looking through the Magic's [Bright Eyes], there was no sign of clutter, but all of them were quietly doing something.
Quietly?!Quietness has never been associated with such a fellow, and everywhere you go is loud and noisy, and for these outlaws rough men, letting them sit quietly on a stool is simply killing them.
However, it is impossible to imagine, and the facts are placed in front of their own eyes. Even the members of the organization who slammed open the door of the auditorium and walked in, sitting on the ground and praying silently, didn't even look this way, as if they didn't exist.
The sight in front of him made Vasis break out in a cold sweat. Originally, the familiar faces, the bearded faces that could only eat and drink loudly and drink and swear words, but now they quietly closed their eyes, chanted words in their mouths, and looked like religious believers.
Not only him, but Vasis was full of sight, and saw his own superiors, as well as other people's superiors, colleagues of the same class as himself, or his own subordinates, and even businessmen who were close to the organization.
Dressed in dark robes, they knelt in the same direction, lined up in a neat row like ripples, and recited something in an inaudible voice. The sounds were as small as mosquitoes and could not be detected, but when so many people were organized to read them, there was always a feeling of maddening buzzing in the head.
[Demons] sounds like a cult organization, only Vasis knows, ninety percent of the members are just a bunch of stupid people who don't know anything, after all, they don't even know their own position and rush to join, and in the end they will only be unconsciously used by some smart guys. This is also the reason why Vasis is so comfortable in it, he is one of the few "smart people" in the organization.
As a result, now, the organization of [Demon Near] has truly become a cult.
Vasis looked towards the place where everyone was kneeling. It was a huge statue, and needless to say, it was naturally a fantasy entity of the demon god Satan. It wasn't some kind of three-headed and six-armed monster, it was unexpectedly human, which is why all the noble demons tried to have entities.
But no one can mistake it for a human. His countenance was a twisted smile that the human body could not have imagined, his eyes were drawn in the most vivid red colors, the corners of his mouth were cracked all the way to the base of his ears, and his nose was curved like a barb for torture. Ordinary people just staring at it for five seconds will look away in fear.
This is the statue of Satan, the demon god, the "monster in human skin", it may be nearby, or it may be someone who has passed by you, and will suddenly appear in your weakest moment to summon your inner demon. It's the most terrifying existence that just saying the name can make a toddler stop crying.
Who sits above the nose of the statue.
For a moment, Vasis even thought it was the demon god Satan who had manifested his entity.
Obviously, the object of everyone's prostration was not the statue with no vital signs, but the guy sitting on it.
The guy opened his eyes, and he had been napping with his back to the statue until he woke up to the sound of Vasis pushing the door in. He was the only one on the scene who noticed the voice, and the others were turned into unconscious walking corpses by silently reciting their devotion and faith in him.
The first thing Vasis saw was a pair of scarlet eyes as unadulterated as rubies. Obviously, from a distance, the range illuminated by a pair of eyes was very small, only the size of a pinhole, but Vasis seemed to feel like a huge gas lamp bursting up less than a meter away from him, and the intense light even made him unable to open his eyes.
He knows. The meaning of this scarlet eye of the highest purity.
During the mission, he hid on the battlefield and quietly saw it. The miraculous boy and the brave enemy soaring above the sky are both in their most frantic stages, and it is this purity of scarlet eyes that they carry.
Vasis sat down on the ground in fright, his body trembling uncontrollably, unable to even escape.
As long as he has a face-to-face with that kind of existence, his fate will automatically shift to his hands. He made for himself two choices, up to now and from now on, life or death.
Beelzebub.
Vasis ...... I've heard you......" A rather lazy voice came from the empty auditorium, "one of the few available people in this stupid organization......"
"I'll put your ...... to good use As my subordinate......"
Unable to resist, Vasis could only kneel and salute in a trembling posture and swear loyalty.
