Chapter 974: Battle for the Tower (8)
Hexagon's voice came in disbelief, and then he said, "Aren't you humans afraid of demons? Why are you so strange as a human? ”
"In the past, when I put my tentacles into my neighbors' rooms, they screamed in fear, and if I said something like, 'I'm going to swallow you' or 'I'm going to bite you,' they would fall to their knees and beg for mercy and ask the demon to forgive them......"
"Not only are you not afraid of me, but you also dragged my foot to injury, and now you have to treat me, are you crazy?!"
"I'm not crazy." Batman said very calmly: "There is a rule of human beings, that is, to repay virtue with virtue, to repay grievances with grievances, you have told me a lot of information, and also told me the way to escape, so I am willing to repay you and treat you ......"
"No, you must be trying to lie to me." Hexagon was very resistant, and he said, "You are trying to trick me into putting my foot over and burning it with fire......
Batman heard some movement on the other side, and the demon seemed to be curled up in the corner.
But he was unmoved, picked up the straw mat in his room, and said, "If you don't put your foot over, I'll light this straw mat and throw it in front of your cell door, and the flames will burn into the room, and believe me, it will hurt more than if the Lava Demon smashed your foot with a fireball......"
"You this! You ......" Hexagon didn't seem to be able to find an adjective to describe Batman, and after a long time, he only said: "You evil human ......"
After a while, a trembling black tentacle reached into Batman's cell, Batman grabbed his tentacle and took a look, he found that the surface of this black tentacle was covered with a layer of shadow-like mist, this layer of mist Batman had never seen and could not deal with, but the limbs under the mist were physical, and there was a scar like a burn on it.
It was similar to the burns Batman had seen, and he could even see the charred tissue under the black epidermis, and he touched the edge of the wound with his hand, and the hexagon let out a violent scream.

Batman thought for a moment, then said, "The burns on the wound are not a big deal, but it hit your stuff, destroyed the soft tissues, and scratched the muscles, I'm going to debride you first, and then some stitches may need to be done......"
After speaking, he did not hesitate to start the treatment, of course, there must be no anesthesia under this condition, Hexagon from the beginning of the scream to the later, even the strength to scream, and after he took back the bandaged tentacles, he said in a trembling tone:
"Humans are terrible......"
After bandaging, Batman also felt a little tired, and it was already late at night, so he hung the torch back on the wall, laid out the straw mat, leaned his back against the wall, and slowly fell asleep.
The next morning, he was awakened by the shouting of the hexagon next door.
"Oh my God! It really doesn't hurt anymore! Why is that? What kind of healing magic is this? Are you a magician among humans? ”
Batman, who was drowsy, rubbed his eyes to sober himself up, and then asked, "Do you know a magician among humans?" ”
"I've seen it once." Rokkaku said with some hesitation: "Last time, someone came to inspect the mine, and I saw a guy who I heard was a human magician, but I haven't seen him perform magic ......"
"The overseer said that the human mages are very powerful, they can travel to and from hell, and they also trade with those powerful demon lords, they can use a lot of magic, some can be used to fight, and some can be used to heal......"
Hexagon kept muttering in a low voice, and Batman got up from the ground and went to the basin next to him to wash his face, and when he had finished washing, the overseer opened the doors of their rooms, waved them and said, "Get up and work!" Don't grind! Right! That's you! Hexagon, come out quickly! ”
Batman walked out of the door, only to see the whole picture of his neighbor, those black tentacles are not actually his feet, but his body, the six corners are a mass of black tentacles, he has not only six legs, I am afraid there are more than sixty.
The tentacles took turns supporting him to walk, looking a little funny, there was a black mist in the middle of the tentacles, and there was a scarlet eyeball in the mist, and he winked at Batman, as if to show gratitude, and then left with the overseer.
Standing under the bat he shook his head, he never thought that one day, he would stand in hell, lamenting that the demons here were too simple.
However, this is not unreasonable, according to the sociological knowledge that Batman has learned, any low-level social life in a closed environment, without systematic education, and has no time to think, most of them will be relatively simple, and this simplicity does not refer to kindness, but pure ignorance, because ignorance, so simple.
Another overseer walks up with Batman, and upstairs, Batman meets Schiller, and the two follow the overseer to the mine.
During yesterday's visit, they only saw part of the mine, and the place of work was deeper in the mine.
Riding the minecart to the mining site, layers of log support structures appeared in front of Batman's eyes, and the overseer picked up his whip, waved it twice in mid-air, and said, "Go over there!" Get the tools and start mining! Don't let me catch you being lazy! ”
According to the Overseer, Batman went to the side and picked up a strangely shaped pickaxe, found a spot with ore exposed, and began mining.
Schiller stood diagonally in front of him, also tapping on the ore, Batman had never seen his professor do any physical work, and Batman found that judging by the way Schiller used his strength, he really didn't do any physical work.
When Batman rotates his pickaxe, he lowers his center of gravity and uses the power of his entire upper body to hit the ore fragments instead of swinging his arms individually, knowing that in that case, he will soon not be able to lift his arms, but Schiller is just the opposite.
At first, Batman was worried that Schiller's wrong way of exerting force might make him run out quickly, but soon, he found that he was thinking too much.
Schiller did not do any physical work, but his fishing skills were first-class, and every time the overseer cast his gaze, he raised his arms high, and when the overseer turned around, and then gently put it down, he could get stuck in the blind spot of every overseer to be lazy and not work, and after an hour, the rock formation only suffered a few skin wounds.
Schiller didn't work, but in order to prevent the overseers from discovering that the output of minerals was insufficient, he also took advantage of the demon next to him to bury his head in his work, and poured the basket of ore he dug down into his basket, disguised as the fruit of his own labor.
Not only that, but he also began to have a relationship with the demon next to him, and he didn't know what kind of words he used, so after a while, he chatted with the old miner next to him.
By the time Batman had dug up a basket of minerals, Schiller had already begun to smoke directly at the miners.
Hell doesn't have tobacco from the human world, but there is something similar, which is snuff in a small bottle that looks like sulfur powder.
As soon as you blow gently into your nose, raise the powder, and inhale it into your nose, the demons will have a soothing expression, as if they are feeling relaxed, and Schiller has somehow got a bottle of this thing, and is now smoking one by one.
Batman put the minerals he had dug up on the minecart, and found that Schiller had already started talking to the overseer next to him, and the two of them were holding a snuffbox and smoking and chatting.
Batman was curious about what they were chatting about, so he took advantage of the delivery of minerals to move closer, and then he heard Schiller say:
"If you want me to say, that little thing on the border is nothing at all, he is very strong in Archduke Astro, but Beelzebub is very weak? Not to mention, Beelzebub is also one of Satans, even if he has always been said to be the weakest Satan, but it is much stronger than Astro, who has only emerged in recent years......"
"That's what I thought too." The red-skinned overseer took a puff of snuff and said, "Ahem, the situation on the southbound border is not good, how dare he make a move on the eastward border?" If he really dares to fight, he will have to face the double attack of Beelzebub and His Majesty Belel......"
"That group of people is unfounded, Astro has always boasted that his flying thorn army is very strong, but whether it is strong or not depends on bragging, does he dare to take it out and compare it with His Majesty's troll Assassin army? I'm afraid I'm going to be beaten and run away......"
The Overseer laughed twice and said, "Spike Army? We call it the Exocet! Astro, that idiot, didn't know where to catch two fish, so he took them as treasures, and said that the ground forces of the Great were two hundred years behind him, and when I heard the news, I almost didn't die of laughter! ”
Schiller pulled out another pile of powder from his suit pocket, handed it to the overseer, and said, "One more pack, and I'll go to work when I'm done." ”
The monitor coughed vigorously twice, sneezed, and then said: "You are worthy of running out of the staff mansion, a little knowledge, so let's go to the minecart next to you and keep an eye on them to transport goods, this job can't be done without any eyesight......
Schiller waved at him, then walked to the minecart, moved a rock and sat down next to it, smoking a cigarette while chatting with the miner next to him.
With a "bang", a piece of mineral was put down, and Schiller said without raising his head: "This car is full, next car." ”
Schiller looked up. Finding out that it was Batman, he took out a packet of powder and handed it to Batman and said, "You can taste it, hell's specialty, it's quite strong." ”
Batman stared at Schiller without speaking, Schiller clapped his hands and stood up, then said, "It seems." Your plan is to get out of here as soon as possible, right? Well, I'm not against it either, you can go first, but I'm going to stay......"
"I'll take you with Alfred and Merkel, hell is dangerous, Alfred is already very old, if something happens, his soul may be seriously depleted......"
Schiller shook his head with a smile and said, "It seems that you don't know your butler very well...... Oh yes, it's time to eat, let's go, let's go up first. ”
Batman put the ore down and walked out with the large army of miners, the overseers yelling at the back, whipping the miners away from the tunnel.
After coming out of the mine, the light became a little brighter, but there was no clear day in Hell, and the light came from the river of magma left in the middle of the air, and the volcano that had been erupting not far away.
As soon as he walked out of the mine, Batman began to look left and right, trying to find his butler in the crowd, but he didn't find Alfred, and it wasn't until he walked to the place where he ate that Batman found the familiar figure.
Alfred crouched on a rock beside the rice bucket, put his snuff under his nose, took a puff, and said to the overseer who served the rice next to him:
"With Astro's little ability, he dares to provoke His Majesty Belial? The Troll Commandos have already been pulled to the Eastern Front for drills, and when the battle line is lined up, he will have to go home crying......"
