Chapter 108: Sister
It was pitch black behind the door and it was hard to see, but the coolness of her face made Darikova lift her hood and enjoy the coolness.
"What is this place?"
Luke reached out and threw several fireballs from his fingertips in all directions, and the fireballs slammed into the wall and lit the oil lamp hanging on it. The dim flickering light illuminated a not-so-large room with wooden tables and chairs and a bed, and although the furniture was shabby, it was the depths of hell, and wood was rarer than water.
Luke walked over to the bed and picked up a hardcover book that had been placed at the head of the bed.
"This is Stockmore's cottage. A succubus from Scorched Earth killed his wife, chased him into Hell for revenge, and opened this hut suitable for human habitation.
He hides here, secretly looking for his enemies......"
Darikova was fascinated by Luke's story, and after Luke stopped telling, she couldn't help but ask, "What happened later?" Did Stockmore kill the succubus? ”
Luke opened the hard book and looked: "No! He fell in love with the succubus, lived happily ever after, and died in Scorched Earth. ”
"Ahh Darikova was surprised, this ending was obviously different from what she had imagined: "Stemore dared to break into purgatory for his wife, I can imagine how much he loved his wife." But...... How could there be such an ending?
Must he have fallen for the succubus' seduction? ”
Luke simply flipped through the hard book and put it away, and then said to Darikova: "How can a strong person who can survive in purgatory be easily seduced, and how can he be seduced for decades.
I'm not interested in Stockmore's mental journey. This hut can be used as our safe house, there is a bathroom next door and there is a water gathering device in it where you can use magic to gather some water to wash. The water element in Hell is very scarce, and it takes a lot of mana, so pay attention to conservation! ”
Darikova noticed that there was indeed a barely visible door in the dimly lit corner.
It is very difficult to use magic to gather water in Hell, and since being abducted into Hell, Darikova has not even had enough water to wash her face except for the water she drank.
Hearing that there was a water collector here, Darikova couldn't wait to go next door. I don't know if the water gathering device is good or not, but if there is a lot of water, maybe you can take a shower.
Luke sat down in his chair and pulled out a dagger with a special logo and a letter from the drawer.
Although many years have passed, the letter is well preserved and the alchemy seal wax is not damaged.
At this time, the sound of water flowing next door was heard.
"It's so cool! This time, the magic is exhausted, and I also want to take a cool shower. ”
Luke put away the knife and the letter, and said to Darikova next door: "I have something to go out for a while, don't run around after you take a shower." ”
"There you go. This is hell, and I won't go anywhere without a car. ”
Hearing the sound of rushing water and Darikova's humming song, Luke shook his head helplessly and left the room.
The city of Hell is generally as quiet as the Dead Lands, there is no frequent business activity here, and there is a high chance that the Demon Descendants will not return every time they go out.
The main social activity of Hell is fighting.
The demon lord fights with the demon lord, and the demon descendant fights with the demon descendant, either in the fight, or on the way to the fight.
Even the fanatics of the ancient demons are always on the lookout for their neighbors and their subordinates day and night. Those demons who are attached to themselves can not only increase their strength, but also have the ambition to challenge themselves at any time.
Recently, the fanatics had purchased a batch of weapons from human merchants, and it was like throwing a large stone into an already surging pool.
Everyone wants to share more weapons, and only when they are strong can they grab more territory and absorb more demons.
Luke walked through the scorched earth city in a low-key manner, taking as far away paths as possible. Although they will encounter some attacks from the Demon Descendants, their strength is generally weak, and killing them will not cause major trouble.
Fighting three waves of deadly demon descendants along the way, Luke arrives in front of a towering Black Keep.
The gates of Blackcastle are closed, and two statues of succubi stand in the doorway.
As Luke approaches Black Castle, the statue immediately transforms into a real succubus. They have curvy human female bodies, and their leather clothing only wraps around their private parts. A pair of tiny horns on his head, a pair of small demon wings on his back, and a tail with arrow ends flicking behind him. They swayed their butts step by step, sandwiching Luke between the sides.
"Humanoid with a head and a tail...... This is the Black Castle of the Mother of Madobusa! If you're a succubus who has come to join the Madobusa family, show yourself what you are. If ......"
The succubus on the left spoke, and his hand rested on Luke's shoulder, with a subtle spiritual invasion in his words. The tail wraps around Luke's back, and the arrow ends in the back of his heart.
"Please give this to Mistress Madobusha." Luke pulled out the letter he had just gotten and grabbed the tail behind him with his other hand: "Don't use charm on me, it will upset your mistress." ”
The succubus wrenched Luke's hand away and took the letter. After seeing the mark of wax on the letter, his complexion suddenly changed greatly.
She said to the other succubus, "Watch out for him, I'll go see the mistress." ”
Without letting Luke wait too long, the succubus who reported the news returned, she put away her coquettishness and saluted very respectfully: "Guests from afar, Madobusa's mistress, please meet you." ”
Luke followed the succubus into the Black Castle, which had a strong human castle atmosphere. The walls are carefully polished, not only smooth but also not messy. In addition, you can also see some artworks from human civilization, although the number is not much, but the maintenance is good.
Follow the succubus up the stairs and through the cloister to a spacious room.
The room was lit up by braziers on either side, and at the end sat a succubus half-leaning in a chair. When she saw Luke, she immediately stood up and walked in front of Luke bewitchingly.
"I'm Mistress Madobusa, where did you get this letter?" Madobusa confronted Luke with the letter.
Luke knowingly asked, "Are you the malady of Madobusha?" You're much younger than I thought you were. ”
"The last generation of Madobusa has passed away, and I am her daughter, the current Madobusa mother." Madobusa patiently explained: "Now answer my question!" ”
Luke lifted his hood to reveal his appearance, as well as the succubus tattoo on his neck, and pulled out the dagger he had just gotten.
"Growing up, I thought I was an orphan with no relatives in this world until I found the clues my father left me. I followed the trail all the way to Hell and then to Purgatory, and finally found what he had left me in this scorched earth city.
The message my father left me asked me to come here, he said...... I can find my mother here. ”
Madobusa was very touched by the short knife, and she reached out and pulled a short knife from the scabbard on her lower back. The two short knives are exactly the same, and when the blades touch, they also fluoresce together.
"Once a human came to Scorched Earth City, he fell in love with a succubus and gave birth to twins. One of the twins is a succubus, while the other is a human.
It is impossible for human babies to survive in hell, so they can only send their sons to the human world. They didn't know if their son would be able to accept having a succubus mother and a father who married a succubus when he became an adult, so they left the choice to him.
Later, the human father died, and he did not wait for his son. Later, the succubus's mother was killed, and she did not wait for her son until she died.
I didn't expect ...... I've been waiting for you.
Brother! ”
"Sister!" Luke responded affectionately.
"Brother!" Madobusa grabbed Luke's hand and looked at his brother, who had been separated for decades, with the same affection: "My only relative in this world, this Black Castle was left to us by our father and mother. You are here, we will have it together, and together we will revitalize the Madobusa family. ”
Madobusha's eyes were filled with joy and excitement, and the arrival of her loved ones filled her eyes with tears.
Behind Luke's back, the arrow at the end of his tail was aimed at the back of his heart.
Luke grabbed Madobusa's hand and said, "I'm glad to see you, but I can't stay in hell. I have my own business in the secular world, and a lot of people work for me, and I am accountable to them. ”
Hearing that Luke won't stay in Hell, the arrow immediately goes limp.
Madobusa pulled Luke to sit down in a chair: "Although I don't want you to leave, you are right, human beings are not suitable to live in hell for a long time, and my father left me so early.
Brother, you say...... There are a lot of people working for you, how many? ”
Luke shook Madobusa's hand like a brother and said, "I have a lot of businesses. Mines, factories, fleets, there are more than 80,000 people who make money for me. In addition, I created a gang and recruited a lot of strong people to protect my wealth, and if you add the company security, there are about 10,000 people.
I haven't counted it in detail, but it's about these many people.
The more people you have, the more things you do...... If it weren't for the rival gangs and the people in the company who wanted to hurt me, I could have come to hell sooner, and maybe I would have seen my mother. ”
When Madobusa heard that her brother had such a big estate in the secular world, she suddenly became a different person.
"I didn't expect you to have so many subordinates, brother. Not like me...... After her mother was ambushed and killed, the Madobusa family declined, and the originally lively Black Castle became so deserted.
Alas! Perhaps in the near future, I too will die in some dark corner, and the Black Castle, which my father and mother had built, will finally fall into the hands of the Malvignies. ”
Luke asked, "How did Mother die?" ”
Madobusa replied indignantly: "It must be the Malvini family!" We and the Malvini family are two of the most powerful succubi families in Scorched Earth City, and there have been many wars between the two families over the newborn succubus.
On the day of my mother's death, the Malvigny family launched an attack on us. The Madobusa family lost all the territory except for the Black Castle, and not only the newborn succubi were enveloped by them, but even many of the Madobusa family's succubi defected.
Brother, are you willing to avenge your mother? ”
Hatred welled up in Luke's heart, and he said resolutely, "Of course I do! Although this is purgatory, it is difficult for my people to survive when they come in, but the revenge of killing my mother cannot be avenged.
Where are the Malvignies? Let's kill it now and revive the Madobusa family! ”
Seeing that his brother stood up and was about to rush to avenge his mother, Madobusa immediately hugged Luke's arm: "Brother, the Malvini family is very strong now, and they have recently obtained a batch of weapons, which is not something that the two of us can deal with. I'm afraid that even the current Madobusa family will not be able to win even if they attack the nest. ”
Luke obediently sat down again with Madobusa and asked; "Weapons? What weapons? All the way into Hell, I don't seem to have seen any decent weapons in the hands of the Hellsling. ”
Madobusa didn't let go of the hand holding Luke, and her body was still snuggling up: "Some time ago, a group of human merchants came to Scorched Earth City, and they sold a batch of armor and weapons to the Zealot Lord.
I didn't expect that the armor and weapons made by human beings now would still maintain rigidity and toughness in the high temperature and high corrosion of purgatory, and they were also very cheap.
I've heard that the Malvignies have just received some armor and weapons from the Berserker Lords, and that if we go for revenge, my succubi will have to fight their steel with their flesh. ”
Luke was taken aback: "There are human merchants who come to Purgatory to do business? ”
"yes!" Madobusa pestered Luke: "I didn't expect that a human would be so bold as to dare to do business with demons. But I have to admit that the weapons made by humans are indeed good and cheap, and we only need to pay for the minerals that are everywhere in hell to easily exchange them, so that the demons have no interest in defaulting.
Brother, can your factory make such weapons? ”
Luke said confidently, "Isn't it a metal that is resistant to high temperature and corrosion?" My factory can produce tens of thousands of tons in one furnace, and then put it in the stamping workshop, and a set of assembly lines will come down, and whatever shape and size can be produced. ”
Although Madobusa couldn't understand what Luke's nouns were, she could understand that her brother's factory could make this kind of weapon, and the production capacity was very high!
Madobusa almost collapsed into Luke's arms: "Brother, why don't you sell the armor and weapons you produced to hell?"
Arm the Madobusa with your weapons and we will defeat the Malvignies and take their succubi. So that you have a powerful Madobusa family to expand the business of hell for you. I can also go to other places to grab more succubi, so that the Madobusa family can continue to grow! ”
"Going hell with your business?" Luke thought very seriously: "Since someone is doing it, it means that it is feasible, and Hell is indeed very rich in minerals.
But since someone entered the market of Scorched Earth City first, my company may be retaliated against if it comes in again. The other party dares to be the first to enter purgatory to do business, there must be a very strong strength, I don't know the other party, I can't blatantly bring goods into Scorched Earth City. ”
Madobusa used charm on her "own brother", and she leaned into Luke's ear and said in a coquettish voice: "Brother, you have me, are you still afraid of a group of human merchants who have no roots in Scorched Earth City?" I'm going to send someone to investigate the details of that group of humans now, and your goods don't need to enter Scorched Earth City openly, I can erase all traces of it and let it circulate in Scorched Earth City. ”
"Just listen to you, my sister." Luke broke away from Madobusha's hand and stood up: "I'll go and deliver the news now, the armor and weapons will be delivered soon, you can do what you need to do." ”
