Chapter 49: The Fate of Deceiving Consumers
"As a mortal, it is absolutely whimsical to want to guess the plans of the gods, and it is difficult for even the legendary archmage who is the most adept at language spells to directly peek into the true thoughts of those great beings.
However, this does not prevent us from working backwards from another angle.
Based on the connections between the higher-ups of Batzu and the higher-ups, we have learned that the target of this battle between the Dragon Queen and the Abyss is the 473rd Layer of the Abyss, the Acid Mist Canyon Plane, which is dominated by a new type of Tanari demon called the Sour Mist Worm.
They were crafted by the souls of countless ignorant blind followers, evil facilitators, and the newly promoted demon lords of this plane were officially notified of the creation of such demons. He is a giant worm created by the previous Lord of Balorfire and successfully defeated and devoured its creator, known as the Worm Tyrant.
Since this plane is too dangerous for other demons in general, our merchants have no trading locations in it, only the Yugros of our tribe who are engaged in shipping on the River Styx to send some news about it.
Either the news is unverifiable or it sounds like a rumor.
It's just that I found an interesting piece of information in the rumor-like message—"
And to ask for payment! The Ugros businessman is like a web writer who is good at digging holes, and step by step induces Quest to pay for the "information" he tells.
Of course, Quiss chose to continue listening to him. On the one hand, the purse is not in a hurry for the time being, and on the other hand, he also feels that the content of this demon is not all about the number of words.
The rewarded judge seems to have the motivation to continue talking:
"The terrifying Worm Tyrant, after successive successes that his predecessors, the Lord of the Baror, had set his sights on how to get his hands on the throne of the gods.
At the beginning of its reign over the Acid Mist Canyon plane, in order to increase its own power, it relied on unimaginable tricks to lure a large number of high-level spellcasters as his guests.
Then he turned them all into his own snacks, and the dessert that gave him the greatest satisfaction was a large number of dragon creatures, especially the evil dragons led by the five-colored dragons. Due to its devouring of dragons in large numbers, it has even evolved some of the dragon's bloodline characteristics.
And in this way, if this demon lord succeeds in becoming a god, it is very likely that its priesthood will set foot in a realm that is very threatening to the god of evil dragons.
And as a demon lord, it itself has the direct favor of the bottomless abyss, and if it becomes a great god again, then His Highness Tiamat really has no way to do it at that time.
Therefore, the Dragon Queen's expedition this time is to strike first.
According to reliable intelligence sources, other dragon gods, even the enemy of the dragon queen, His Royal Highness Bahamut, the king of good dragons, did not want such a guy to appear among the gods of the dragon realm. His Highness even restrained some of the battles between the good and the evil dragons during this time......"
Thirty soul prisms!
After listening to the information of the Yugros merchants, the soul prism that Quis had accumulated in the past two days was no longer even enough to pay for it.
"Boy, do you want to owe a reasonable payment to a legitimate Yugros merchant?" After Quiz showed the empty money bag to the Judge, the demon turned colored, and ripped off the hood he had been carrying, and the eyes on the jackal-like head flashed coldly: "Or do you want to take out a mortgage? This is also an acceptable payment method, but for a small fee. ”
"I refuse," he said to a Jugros in the mortgage business, which was to predetermine his future destiny, and Quest had no intention of becoming a deplorable imprisoned in a soul prism: "I will pay with a perfect soul prism." ”
The value of the soul prism lies in the soul imprisoned inside, and the perfect soul prism is the product of only fulfilling the last wish of the imprisoned soul.
Once this condition is met, the imprisoned soul will also be purified, and the originally mixed soul energy will complete a qualitative change like a glutinous wine turning into a jade liquid elixir, and the value of such a soul prism will also increase by leaps and bounds.
"Seventy-three ordinary soul prisms," Quiss said to the Judge Demon who had been attracted by the word "Perfect Soul Prism" in front of him, and did not consider where the young man who already had no money came from to conjure up this higher value equivalent, "Before I came, I used a spell to check the real-time official exchange rate released by Nesus on the ninth layer of Bato, and one perfect soul prism is worth seventy-three ordinary soul prisms. ”
After saying that, Quest walked towards the maliciously transformed old ghost woman who had just been trapped by the "secondary position cage".
The young man's right hand clenched into a fist and passed directly through the barrier of standing, and easily lifted the transformation effect of the old ghost woman, this scene made the judgment demon watching from the side tremble, and out of vigilance, he chose to attach more protective spells to himself.
"It's a good habit to be prepared. ”
Quiz quipped, and silently performed the monster immobilization technique, so that the old ghost woman who had just removed the effect of the malicious transformation and turned back into an ugly old witch with a pointed nose was nailed to the spot.
Taking out the old ghost woman's hidden money for the passage that she paid her, a soul prism, Quest explained to the judge on the side: "The soul imprisoned in this soul prism is a guy who has come to Bato's Hell to participate in a bloody battle, intending to make a fortune from the war.
This unfortunate guy just listened to the deceptive words of some unscrupulous profiteers, and exchanged all his wealth for some so-called artifacts.
The result can be imagined, the huge gap between the seller's show and the buyer's show made this unlucky guy have to pit his soul into it.
His greatest wish is to be able to take revenge on this profiteer—"
As the explanation ended, Quest drew his sword, the Hell's Iron Sword, which had been refired by the future famous master smith, the Ogre Naru.
The sword was well-weighted and easy to chop, and the edge was sharpened, so it was easy to cut off the head of the old ghost woman who was pinned to the spot.
Tossing the soul prism in his hand, which seemed to have been tempered and had become abnormally pure, to the Yugros merchant who was guarding him carefully, Quest said:
"An old ghost woman who has received the most complete training in speech and has obtained the title of salesman, Bato's Hell Slave Trading Market sells for twenty ordinary soul prisms, and the previous time-sharing billing was still short of your last three ordinary soul prisms. A perfect soul prism is worth seventy-three soul prisms.
Mr. Judge Demon, you should also find me fifty soul prisms at this time. ”
At this time, he was in a Bartow's barracks, and the actual owner of this barracks showed that he could match or even be stronger in spell casting, and the merchants of Yugros did not dare to pay their debts at this time.
Holding the fifty soul prisms and the "Nine Swords School" battle method catalogue that he had recovered, Quis, who walked to the door, turned around and said to the Yugros Demon merchant: "Mr. Judge Demon, a businessman with professional quality at this time, shouldn't you say thank you for your patronage or welcome to come again next time?"
