Friday, August 5th.

The weather is hot and the cicadas are singing.

Under the shade of the trees in the green belt of the community, Lin Xiao stared at the trunk of the tree.

He stretched out his right palm, and a palm-sized 'gluttonous black hole' condensed from his palm, inhaling Zhizhi into it.

The black hole closed, and Lin Xiao looked at his palm, thoughtful.

According to Beelzebub, the essence of the 'gluttonous power' is to create a space with an upper limit.

Compared with the real black holes in the universe, the use of 'gluttonous black holes' is more biased towards the power of space.

Lin Xiao opened the 'Gluttony Black Hole' again.

Knowing it, he crawled out in a daze, lying on the stone bricks and looking left and right, looking back at Lin Xiao, flapping his wings and making a cicada song.

Lin Xiao nodded, indicating that you were safe.

At this time, a wild cat was killed, and it disappeared into the green belt.

“……”

Lin Xiao turned around expressionlessly, looked up at the blue sky, and said in his heart, today is another day to do good deeds and accumulate merits.

It's been a day since I came back from the black pool.

In the news report, it was publicized that the federal soldiers and the unsung heroes worked together to solve the fly plague.

It seems that Roman has acquiesced in the actions of the Epeepers within the territory, or he has no confidence to force the Epee Men against them.

Lin Xiao didn't care too much.

After all, the three demon gods have been contracted, and they no longer take Roman's hostility seriously.

Right now, Lin Xiao decided to take stock of the harvest of the trip to the Black Water Pool first.

One of them is the contract "Gluttonous God Beelzebub", which obtained the full version of the power of gluttony.

The use of gluttony, in addition to being able to 'swallow' and 'spit out' black holes, can also make Lin Xiao immune to toxins and gain the ability to dispel diseases and save people.

While increasing the ability to fight, it can also perform well in the field of life.

The color of the power of gluttony is black, and the symbolic gem is [Black Pearl], which complements the arrogant [Amethyst] and Fury [Red Agate] obtained earlier.

"The eighth-order breakthrough of the Meteorite Sword doesn't mean that I will be able to melt all the seven gems into it......" Lin Xiao was in a delicate mood.

The legendary weapon blessed by the power of the Seven Deadly Sins, one sword and one seventh-order, should not be a problem!

Second, Salomon Winery has a new member, the 'waste handler' Gluttonous Lady.

With her, the master of flies and insects, there will be no insect plagues in the grape fields and no pesticides will be used, and the quality of raw materials for winemaking will skyrocket.

I don't know how customers who buy red wine would feel if they knew that red wine was produced by demon gods......

The third is the legendary card reward promised by the team leader after solving the plague.

The investigation team was able to come up with the legendary card, firstly, this time it was a super difficult task to face the demon god, and secondly, the team leader was rich and generous, and his opponents were not thin, so it was also very reasonable.

Lin Xiao was just curious, what type of gold card would it be, in case it didn't match his duel system, it would still be better to ask for it to be replaced by Yuan Chen, which would be better for card drawing.

The debriefing is this evening.

After lunch, Lin Xiao drove an hour and a half on a motorcycle to Solomon Winery on the outskirts of the city.

When the person in charge saw the owner of the winery coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and said:

"Mr. Lin, why are you here?"

"I've come to the head winemaker to discuss things."

"The chief winemaker, he was in the living room, and he saw a distinguished guest who had come all the way from Xingtu City." The person in charge said, "It's a silver-haired gentleman with a haughty temperament, like a nobleman." ”

Lin Xiao was surprised... Lucifer is there too? That's just right, let the three demon gods meet.

In the meeting room, Samael returned to the form of a hissing serpent, entrenched on the table, and his tone was slightly proud:

"I already fully understand human grape varieties, give me a month, and I will make the human winemaking community shake the new grape varieties!"

In front of the viper, there sat a noble and indifferent silver-haired demon god.

Lucifer came here to taste the wine that Samael had matured in advance with the source force, and said indifferently at this moment:

"Your mental state seems to be good."

"With a contract in my body, it's not convenient for me to encourage humans to fight and have fun." Samael reluctantly said, "Winemaking is my only remaining hobby. ”

Lucifer stared at the red wine in the glass, his indifferent face that did not melt into ice, and suddenly led to a smile:

"Humans are different from demons, they have their own stories, their own joys and sorrows...... It has benefited me a lot from watching human beings and understanding this backward and advanced era. ”

As he spoke, he drank all the red wine and said, "Do you know Lin Xiao's way of bartending?" ”

Samael smiled wryly and said, "I'm still learning, Lord Lucifer." ”

"Yes......" Lucifer sighed and said against his will, "It's also very good." ”

The door opened, and the two demon gods focused on the handsome young man who walked in. Lin Xiao said:

"It's all here, let's introduce a new employee to you."

Lin Xiao looked at the card: "Don't be shy, come out." ”

The two demon gods were slightly stunned, and they felt a familiar aura from the card, and immediately saw the light particles condense Beelzebub with an awkward expression.

Beelzebub had already known that the two demon gods had signed a contract with Lin Xiao, and they swore that they would not repeat the mistakes of the past, so they only felt ashamed at the moment.

She looked at the two demon gods and pretended to be calm: "I haven't seen you for a long time, two." ”

"Beelzebub?" Samael was stunned.

He wanted to say, "You have made a contract too?"

What about so many swarms, what about the plague that is a special attack on humans?

But seeing Beelzebub's gritted teeth, Samael knew that if he didn't say anything, it would be annoying to say it again!

"Welcome to the human realm." Lucifer raised his goblet and gracefully greeted Beelzebub, "Cheers." ”

Beelzebub: "......"

Why do you look like you're already familiar with the human world?

It's great to be resurrected two days early, and it's not like you've been defeated by the same person!

Beelzebub sat down and said, "Get me something to eat first, the food I've tasted these days is terrible!" ”

"How's the cake?" "I've been researching human food lately, and cake should be to your liking," Samael said. ”

"Cake?"

"Sweets made with cream, eggs, fruits, flour, I have to say, humans do have brains more than demons in this aspect of eating...... Wait, there are professional pastry chefs in the winery. ”

Samael conjured up the shape of a flat-headed man, and walked out of the room with a stinky face in his pocket, leaving Lin Xiao, Lucifer, and Beelzebub to look at each other in the room.

"Why are you here today?" Lin Xiao asked.

"There are no names today, and the time is at my disposal." Lucifer said calmly, "I'm also a little tired of this job, and I've been using illusions lately. ”

"When the winery's bar opens, you can be the manager, and you can attract traffic just by standing, and you can continue to listen to the story." Lin Xiao said.

After all, now that he has his own industry, he can let several demon gods work for him and shine.

Lucifer pondered for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "Very good." ”

Looking at the two people who were talking calmly, Beelzebub had a strange expression.

Although I know that there is a contract......

But the arrogant demon god would be so calm, and talking to a human was really a little disillusioned.

At this time, the flat-headed man walked back to the room with a cake in his hand, and his tone was unpleasant;

"Oh, grape popping cake...... That pastry chef still wants to charge me! Beelzebub, you have to pay me back the money you paid for the cake!" ”

Beelzebub sneered, "You are obsessed with money? Isn't it just a matter of using some means? ”

"The way to make money illegally is blocked by contracts." Samael's eyes were gloomy, "Otherwise, why do you think Lord Lucifer and I have to work?" ”

Beelzebub's eyes showed astonishment, and she glanced at Lucifer, who was drinking indifferently, and then looked at Lin Xiao, who looked away.

"Times have changed...... Beelzebub muttered.

Next, Lin Xiao and the two demon gods opened a small welcome ceremony for Beelzebub with a cake.

There are three demon gods here, but now they are like playing at home......

Beelzebub felt ashamed, took the cake cut by Lin Xiao with a red face, and devoured it like a vent.

Damn, I don't believe in how much human food can be-

Beelzebub was stunned for a moment, swallowed the cake, and licked the corner of his lower lip, "It's delicious......"

As an avid sugar lover, the Gluttonous God often commanded flies and insects to seek sugar for her in the Middle Ages.

And the crude processed sweets of the Middle Ages are difficult to compare with the modern highly industrialized dessert industry!

"Right now, there's a new job at the winery that suits you and offers free sweets."

Lin Xiao said calmly: "Don't worry, I'm not a black-hearted businessman who oppresses employees......"

With Lin Xiao's half-coercion and half-flickering, and the experience of the two demon gods, Beelzebub officially settled down in the winery.

In addition to the Demon God, Solomon's Winery also has a large number of ordinary employees, and the Demon God will use human form when communicating with them so as not to disturb them.

Leaving the winery and returning to Xingtu City, it was already dusk.

Lin Xiao and Chu Yun met at the ramen stall outside the 'Pastoral Coffee Shop' and had dinner.

Chu Yun ate well first, said that there was still information to investigate, and returned to the base first with a cigarette in his mouth.

Preparing to pay, he found that Brother Chu Yun had already settled the bill in advance, Lin Xiao held a toothpick in his mouth and turned to the commissary.

Lin Xiao: "Come to Bao Huazi." ”

Shopkeeper: "Huh? ”

Lin Xiao: "Sao Rui, Zhongzhou Tobacco will do." ”

Back at the base, he passed by the office and threw the cigarette case to Chu Yun, who was more than five meters away.

Chu Yun keenly caught it. Lin Xiao stood at the door and smiled, with an expression of 'three-point goal scored'.

Come to the mahogany double door.

Lin Xiao pushed open the door with both hands, the fragrance of incense and wood came to her face, and a huge oil painting hung on the opposite wall, and a petite red-haired woman stood under the oil painting.

She was looking at the painting. Wearing a white shirt and black trousers, with her back to herself, her fishtail braids hanging down to her waist and hips, she looks like a neighbor's workplace OL sister who is two years older than you.

Hearing the movement, she turned her head slightly, and a certain look flashed in her eyes: "You didn't knock on the door." ”

Lin Xiao wanted to test her true attitude, and replied:

"I thought that with our relationship, there was no need to knock on the door."

Her eyes froze, like an enraged Siamese cat, holding the red sandalwood desk in her hand and walking to the boss's chair and sitting down, her fingers crossed:

"Let's talk about this operation."

"The operation went well, I cooperated with the federal soldiers to solve the fly plague, and now I am here to receive my reward."

"You defeated the Demon God?"

"It was defeated by a seventh-order card master."

"That's what you said last time."

"I've always been honest."

Margaret quietly stared at the calm Lin Xiao and said lightly:

"When will you apply for assignment to another country?"

The topic suddenly turned to the expatriate, Lin Xiao was slightly stunned, and muttered:

"I don't have any plans yet, probably next month."

"Is your little girlfriend going on a mission with you too?" Margaret asked.

"Little girlfriend?" Lin Xiao was stunned.

"I thought that red-eyed little girl in the makeshift group was your girlfriend."

Margaret's tone was slightly regretful: "After all, I think the two are a good match." ”

Lin Xiao admitted that she had a good impression of Bang Yi, after all, they had experienced many events together.

But that's all, he won't interfere with other people's decisions, and he won't change their decisions because of others.

"Just a colleague." Lin Xiao said, "But in Honeysuckle, she is my most proud student." ”

"Aren't you going to go any further?" "You don't want to know more about her, about her family and her past? ”

Lin Xiao stood there, thinking about 'wanting' and 'not wanting to'.

He couldn't deny his curiosity about how a nobleman's daughter had honed her swordsmanship and musket skills.

But he doesn't want to peek into someone else's past, because it means risk.

"Obviously, I'm not going to pick a moon." Lin Xiao said.

Margaery went on to ask:

"What about Chu Yun, he is your teammate, you joined the introduction of the investigation team, will you let him be sent abroad with you?"

"I don't know."

"I wonder if he wants to, or if I don't know if I want to take him with me? Because he's always holding you back, isn't he? Margaret said.

"It's not up to me, it's yours." Lin Xiao looked straight at him and said, "You have the final decision on the assignment. ”

"Actually, I don't have the right to decide, because the headquarters stipulates that expatriate operators can only go to ...... alone"

Margaret said calmly, "I just suggest that if you decide to leave Star Atlas City, then take a break from your current relationship first, so as not to fall into sentimentality when you leave." ”

"I see...... Thanks for the suggestion. Lin Xiao said, "I want to ask about the remuneration of the gold card." ”

"I asked about your plan, and it is actually related to this gold card."

Margaret lowered her gaze and whispered, "The relationship between people is like an invisible chain that makes people stand still, so the saints are always lonely, they cut off the chains and walk on their own path. ”

"However, there will always be people who will take the initiative to put chains on themselves, because loneliness is too terrible, and people can only rely on each other to avoid falling into the abyss of nothingness."

Margaret raised her eyes, radiant, and said, "Stay, Lin Xiao." ”

She stretched out her right hand, and the palm of her hand showed a twisted iron chain.

"Stay in the Federation, stay in the life you are familiar with, don't think about anything, live a calm and stable life, have a girl who likes you, admire your colleagues, and a brother you can rely on...... Isn't that bad? ”

Lin Xiao looked at the chain in Margaret's palm, her eyes flickering.

Stay in the Commonwealth......

I already have the power to make Roman jealous, and I have a worry-free industry, and I have a very high status in the FBI and academic circles......

I can go to Chu Yun's house every day to eat, chat with Sigrid, and even pursue Jolena......

Lin Xiao took the chain from Margaret's palm, and her eyes lit up with a faint golden luster.

These are excellent.

But.

Lin Xiao clenched the iron chain, and the pitch-black source power ignited in his palm, burning the chain into light particles, and his eyes were cold.

These are not enough.

I'll be even more greedy than the Greedy Demon God.

Because, I am the natural disaster of this world.

Black Flame burned the iron chains into cards, gradually establishing a connection with Lin Xiao's palm.

"Thank you for holding on." Lin Xiao held the golden card in his hand and said politely, "But I will have my own decision." ”

Margaret's eyes flickered, she was silent for a long time, and said with a light sigh:

"Let me introduce you to this legendary card."

"In the mythology of Nidhogg, Fenrir is the demon wolf who devoured the god-king in the prophecy, and the gods feared the prophecy and planned to bind Fenrir with chains, failing twice in a row, and the third time using six materials: the footsteps of a cat, the beard of a woman, the roots of a stone, the breath of a fish, the tendons of a bear, and the saliva of a bird, to make a cursed chain."

"Because these six materials are consumed, there are no such things in the world. The chain, as flexible as a ribbon and as strong as an iron lock, finally succeeded in trapping Fenrir and was called the 'Locks of Ridiculousness'. ”

Lin Xiao looked down at the card surface.

"That's right."

Margaret said calmly:

"The legendary card given to you is the 'Lock of Ridiculousness.'"
