086 Tongue Demon
Thanks to the enchantment of the door spirit, Ringer was able to read the alien characters on the scroll.
To put it simply, this is a contract to join the camp of the underworld, and it is also specially written that the title of "Tongue Demon" is given to Ringer in the name of the Demon King.
Ringer didn't know the gold content of the title given by the Demon King himself, but the old cadres knew it well, so most of them looked at the scroll in front of Ringer dumbfounded.
Generally speaking, only high-ranking cadres will be treated with the title given by the Demon King himself, this kid just mixes a few bottles of wine together, what qualifications does he have?
Ringer felt the malice from all around him surge, and he secretly wondered in his heart, he didn't know what the consequences would be after signing, but with the current situation, he had no choice.
If he doesn't sign it, he and Lanya, as well as Theos lying on the table, will have no way to live, and they may be forcibly transformed into undead after death.
It's better to sign decently while you can still be decent, and then act at the opportunity.
"How do I sign it?"
"A drop of blood, say your name." The voice of the Demon King sounded in his head.
Ringer nodded, and was about to bite his finger, when he suddenly heard a cold voice that seemed to come from hell:
"Lord Demon King, is it a bit ...... to appoint a newcomer with unknown details as a cadre? Careless. ”
The voice was uttered by a lich in a black robe, with gold trim around the edges, a tall figure with unusually thick bones on his body, and the powerful ribs looked like they could be removed as melee weapons.
It shouldn't do that, though, after all, liches are archmages.
"You're questioning my decision?" The icy voice sounded in everyone's head, and the soul fire in the lich's eyes shook violently.
No one in the hall spoke, and through the reactions of the old cadres, Ringer realized that this contract was not simple, he bit his finger, dropped a drop of blood on the scroll, and after pronouncing his name, the blood stains on the scroll changed into a symbol, which represented his name.
The scroll flashed brightly, and his eyebrows cooled, and he felt something come out of his forehead and sink into the scroll.
The scroll slowly closed and disappeared from Ringer's eyes.
"Very well, tongue devil, remember, every night at twelve o'clock in the evening, a glass of fine wine will be offered to me on time, and if there is any delay, or if the wine is not satisfactory to me, I will personally punish me."
"The rest of the time you can move freely, but don't try to escape, even if you escape to the heavenly realm, I will personally capture you and give you capital punishment."
These two words rang in Ringer's head alone, and then she said to everyone:
"Okay, this is the end of the 8th Annual Underground World Work Conference of the Sainli, please return to your respective posts as soon as possible, act according to the results of the meeting, and adjourn the meeting."
As soon as the meeting ended, the brilliance of the teleportation magic in the hall flashed, and most of the old cadres at the table disappeared in an instant.
Ringer faintly heard a slight cold snort, but he was not sure if it came from the Demon King's side, and the rest of the people seemed to have heard nothing, and after respectfully saluting the Demon King, they disappeared into the hall one by one.
"Andiel, take the Tongue Demon to familiarize yourself with the environment, especially remember where my room is."
After leaving such a sentence, the tall figure of the Demon King also disappeared into the shadows.
In the end, there were only a few people left in the hall, empty and quiet.
Shania looked dazed, stopped Andil and asked, "What result, what action?" ”
Andil smiled gently, but a sharp light flashed in his eyes: "There is no task assigned to you, as long as Lord Shania maintains the same life as before." "You shit.
The Headless Horseman walked up to Ringer with his head raised, and the man smiled heartily:
"Ha, I didn't expect you to be appreciated by the Demon King, we will be colleagues in the future, when I go back, I must come to your store for a drink."
"Thank you," Ringer thanked sincerely, "and I will pay for your emerald consumption in the future." ”
If it weren't for the Headless Horseman's help, he wouldn't have gotten the chance to bartwine for the Demon King, who used to treat the Headless Horseman as a pervert, but now he sees her as a helpful friend.
If it's a friend, the pervert doesn't seem to be so difficult to accept at all.
"Haha, you can't regret it."
"No repentance, forever."
"Okay, after getting acquainted with the environment of the Demon King City, come to my castle, you can go back from there, the Demon King also said that as long as you offer her a glass of wine every day, it will not restrict your freedom."
The Headless Horseman said.
"I can send Artiles to pick you up, at her speed, it only takes half a day to run a round trip from my castle to Demon King City."
Artiles, the white horse of the Headless Horseman, whose upper body is in human form, once went to Emerald to drink wine, which impressed Ringer.
"Thanks, but no need, I have another way to go back."
"Okay, see you tomorrow Emerald."
After Evie left, Andil walked up to Ringer.
"Hello, I'm the housekeeper of Demon King City, Andiel, and I'm also in charge of information transmission, let's go, I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the environment of Demon King City."
Ringer carefully looked at the man in front of him, with a slender figure, elegant clothes, and a fair and gentle face, which at first glance belonged to the type that was easy to get along with.
But if you look closely, you can see that a strange light flashes from time to time in the corners of his lowered and sharp eyes, which makes Ringer's heart secretly vigilant.
"Thank you."
Ringer walked over to the long table and picked up the unconscious Tios, and Lanya followed him like a shadow, clutching the corner of his coat, as if fearing that he would disappear in the next second.
"She's your friend?"
"Well, I came here to find her." I don't know what happened to Elise, if she was teleported somewhere else, or if she stayed in the cave.
But with her strength, there is no need for him to worry, if she doesn't come back by the time she goes to work tomorrow, she will go to her with Nilou.
"Ah, so you followed me." Shania suddenly pointed at Ringer and shouted, "Don't think that I will be afraid of you if the Demon King gives you the title, I caught her and give it back to me." ”
Shania's loud voice woke up the unconscious Theos, and she opened her eyes to see Shania covered in flames, her body huddled and shivering in Ringer's arms.
Feeling Tios's fear, Ringer's heart was filled with anger.
Looking at the arrogant little girl who was burning in front of him, a strong impulse rose in his heart, wanting to teach her a hard lesson.
That's when Andil spoke.
"Lord Shania, haven't you already dedicated this nature spirit to the Demon King? Why do you want to claim it back now? ”
"If the Demon King confiscates it, she'll be mine."
"But you've sent her away, and according to the rules of the underground, you've lost ownership of this elf."
"Didn't he rob the Demon King's things?" Shania was not reconciled.
"The Demon King will bestow him a precious title, how can he be stingy with an elf who does not look good, you say?"
Shania searched her stomach to refute, opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.
Andil smiled gently, and a sharp light suddenly flashed in the corner of his eye.
"Lord Shania, please think about why you are always alone."
This sentence seemed to poke at Shania's sore spot, and she was like a lightning strike, her small mouth flattened, and her eyes quickly became moist.
"Woo, I don't want this elf!"
She finally didn't hold back, cried and opened the portal, and fled in embarrassment.
Ringer's ears seemed to echo with Shania's loud cry, and her crying face and voice refreshed his heart.
Oh, it turned out to be a little girl who could make her cry in just a few words.
