On January 3rd, Mavi and Yunia, who had been mobilizing the Heart of the Jungle for teleportation, returned to London.

The speed of the steam airship is still too slow, although it can reach London in three days, but if there is any urgency, it still can't arrive quickly, but the heart of the jungle is very useful, and if you don't care about the consumption of mana, you can return to London from Mosk in half a day at most.

Can do more research. It just so happened that Luca was there, and he should know more about it

While thinking, Mavi came to St. Paul's Cathedral and met Kovalev, who delivered the message, and now the Church of Truth also has a church in London, headed by Bishop Auguste, one of the first students Mavi taught two years ago.

Because of the urgency of the situation, Kovalev did not elaborate too much, only explained the key situation, and only after meeting Mavi did he tell what happened from beginning to end.

In order to protect Toure and prevent his soul from being taken away by the Old Gods, Mavi asked Edward to protect him, and it was this action that allowed Edward to discover the demon that appeared for the first time.

Similar to Mavi's expected reaction, the demon did not mean to forcibly take Toure's soul, but politely asked to see Mavi, saying that he wanted to negotiate a fair deal.

Ma Wei also wanted to hear the conditions offered by the other party, after all, he couldn't put Edward by Toure's side all day, and he could protect him for a while, and he could protect him for a lifetime?

It's better to live with your hands and feet tied than to die.

The root cause of the problem must be addressed.

"Where is it?"

Kovalev scratched his head and glanced out of the door of St. Paul's Cathedral: "Drinking in the tavern on the corner"

"You let it roam freely?"

"I've been sending people to keep an eye on it, it's weird, and I don't walk around, I go to the tavern to drink during the day, and when the tavern closes, I go back to the church to rest."

Kovalev was depressed, he had never seen a demon, but judging by the demon's performance, it was obvious that the other party was not quite the same as described in the teachings.

When he came to the corner bar, as soon as he entered the door, the lively atmosphere in the house came to his face, Ma Wei was a little stunned, he often passed by this bar, the business can only be regarded as average, it is only evening now, how can it be full?

A cloaked figure sat in the corner, a glass of butterbeer in front of him, two wizened rhizome arms sticking out of his sleeves, playing the accordion in his arms, and the guests who heard the music sang loudly as if they were immersed in their own dreams.

No one even noticed Mavi's arrival.

Suddenly, the tune changed, the coda became sharp, and the guests, who had just been laughing, immediately put away their smiles, put down their glasses, and got up and walked out of the tavern.

In less than half a minute, the tavern was empty, and only the figure of the cloak sitting in the corner and the shopkeeper wiping the glass in a daze.

The cloaked figure retracted its arm from the branches, but the accordion was still playing, as if a large, invisible hand had grasped it.

"Which of the Seventy-Two Pillar Demon Gods are you?"

"Fifty-ninth, Oreon."

With a calm and clear voice, like that of a young man, Orion bowed slightly to Mavi and said in a respectful tone, "My master has sent me to discuss with you the question of the belonging of Toure Crowley's soul. ”

"What does it cost to return Toure's soul and cancel the deal?"

"Before I answer, I wish there was a quiet environment." Oreon looked at Yunia, "It's better if it's just us." ”

After thinking for a moment, Mavi said to Yunia, "You go out and wait for me." ”

"Daddy."

"I'm fine, if they wanted to kill me, they would have done it a long time ago, why wait until now?"

Ma Wei couldn't find a reason for the ancient god forces to do something to him, it should be said that the ancient god forces had many opportunities to assassinate him, but they didn't make a move, could they deliberately separate Yunia just to kill him?

What's more, the next thing to talk about is the issue of the soul contract, and in this matter, all the demons who believe in the ancient gods of the contract take it very seriously and seriously.

At Mavi's request, Yunia could only leave the tavern, and Kovalev and the others, who were waiting for the order outside, were stunned when they saw the goddess come out: "Where is the priest?" ”

"He's going to talk to Oreon one-on-one."

"It's too dangerous! Alone with the devil, what if the negotiations break down? ”

"Then it's going to die, too." Yunia said in a cold voice.

Allowing Mavi to be alone with the demon is trusting Mavi's judgment.

If she is wrong, Yunia will not hesitate to kill Oreon and declare war on the forces of the Old Gods.

then

She will summon Odin and Baggi to return at all costs, unite the Apocalypse Divine System, and wage a war of revenge.

That's the price.

In the tavern, Orion stated his conditions: "Regarding the transaction of Toure Crowley, I have received an order from my master that it can be canceled, and we can also return half of Toure Crowley's soul, but the price of filling it needs to be renegotiated." ”

"Do you want to trade my soul for it?"

"To be precise, please relinquish control of this body." Oreon said very tactfully, "We will not take your soul as a price, but will give you a third life." ”

"Third life?"

Ma Wei narrowed his eyes, there was an obvious loophole in Oreon's words, in the eyes of ordinary people, he should be the first life, why would he give the third life?

"Some time ago, you have been investigating Minnie's whereabouts, and I don't think you should have found any results in your investigation."

A twig poked out from under the cloak, reached into the butterbeer, sucked slowly, and after drinking his heart, the voice came again: "Of course, because Minnie left this world again using Merlin's magic circle after her return, and it left only a handful of traces that you can't investigate." ”

"Where did it go?"

"The kingdom of the ancient god of wisdom, Arabi." Orion said simply and directly, "There Minnie found a suitable soul and made a deal with his parents to give him a second life."

A gloomy laugh rang out: "It's just that no one has set the place where the second life appears, does it?" ”

The palms under the table trembled slightly, Ma Weiqiang held back the fluctuations in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "Why me?" ”

"Please understand that it is not because you are the so-called prophet, but that the person we choose will be the prophet." Oreon said: "If Minnie chooses Liu Wei and Zhang Wei, it will be someone else sitting here. ”

"As for why Minnie chose you, I can't answer the question, it's Minnie's choice, and I don't know why."

"And the one who made the deal with Minnie, your parents, have already paid the price for it."

Oreon lifted his cloak, and three beads that exuded a gray glow were revealed: "So what you want to trade today is three souls, not one. ”

Fingers lightly tapped on the tabletop, Ma Wei remained silent on the surface, but killing intent rose in his heart.

As if sensing a crisis, Oreon spoke: "Except for Toure Crowley's soul, the other two souls are not in me, they are just projections, and eggs can't be put in one basket, right?" ”

"Are you going to trade my soul for the lives of the three of them?"

"As I said earlier, it is the control of your body, your soul, that we will send back to the kingdom of the ancient god of wisdom, Arabi, where you will be given a third life and reunited with your parents and loved ones."

"What about the world over here?"

Oreon laughed again: "Don't you want to go back to your hometown? It's not a dream, it's real, as for this side of the world, you're a stranger, so why bother? Just think it's a dream."

Seeing Mavi's hesitation, Oreon added: "If you are worried about the unfinished business, don't worry, we don't mean to complete the transaction immediately, we just inform you of the content of the transaction in advance." ”

Ma Wei frowned: "What do you mean?" ”

"I think you should also feel it, master, you can summon the will of the great ancient god Belyl to descend, and with each of your summons, the master's seal will loosen more and more until it is completely broken."

Orion said: "The last time the master returned, he couldn't defeat Nereida, but next time, maybe he will be able to have the strength to compete with Nereida, and the next time. In short, the transaction will not be completed until the seal is broken. ”

"You still need me."

"Yes, we also need you to continue to fulfill your mission." Orion said lightly: "There are some errors in the historical deduction of the wise ancient god Arabi, and we need to correct them. ”

Many of Ma Wei's doubts were solved at once.

Before today, he had only heard of the name of the ancient god of wisdom, Arabi, but had little contact with him or his dependents.

The one who came into contact with it the most was the contract with the ancient god Belil.

Where did Arabi, the ancient god of wisdom, go?

It turned out to be a historical deduction.

In order to fight against the arch-rival Asis who stole the authority of the 'prophet' and foresaw the future, the wise ancient god Arabi had no choice but to find another way to reconstruct his kingdom of God, reproducing it one-to-one according to the kingdom of the Creator, and speeding up the flow of time to carry out historical deduction in order to obtain the historical trajectory of the next few decades and hundreds of years.

In a sense, this is also a prediction of the future.

However, it backfired, and this tricky method obviously could not be compared with the real 'prophet' power, and there was an error in the deduction, resulting in the ancient god forces having to 'interfere' and 'correct'.

Ma Wei's mission is to bring history back to its normal trajectory.

Even if he did a little too much, as long as the God of Truth was born.

The rest is only a trivial part of the torrent of history.

"Why is history biased?" Mavi asked.

Orion shook his head: "I don't know, the wisdom of the ancient god Arabi can't answer this question, if we know the answer, we don't need to summon you to correct the error, do we?" ”

It really makes sense, Ma Wei muttered in his heart.

"According to you, the reason why the Apocalypse Divine System has not launched an attack so far is because of the fear of the ancient god Belier."

Ma Wei pondered: "If the Apocalypse God Department attacks now, I will use the power of the ancient god Belil, which will instead accelerate the collapse of the seal, causing the ancient god Belyl to descend ahead of schedule. ”

"You finally get the idea." Oreon smiled reassuringly, "You can also take the initiative to summon the master and lift the seal early to complete the transaction, but I don't think you will do that." ”

"What if I refuse to trade with you?"

"You won't refuse." "If you refuse, it means that the price we are offering is not high enough, or you are not facing a dilemma yet," said Oreon with a smile. ”

With a sneer, Ma Wei was about to open his mouth to refuse, when he heard Oreon preemptively say: "You don't have to refuse, at least you can reserve your opinion, we have submitted the contract, as long as you don't sign it, the contract will never take effect, and it is pointless for you to refuse." ”

"If it is to strengthen your faith, I think your faith is strong enough that it does not need to be practiced with verbal rejection, on the contrary, if one day the Church of Truth needs your contribution, you can also agree to the contract in exchange for the continuation of the church."

"Three souls. It's just an invitation to meet you and an overwhelm of you in a critical situation. ”

The straw that broke the camel's back.

Ma Wei smiled: "You are really honest, tell me anything." ”

Orion humbly bowed his head: "Under the master's command, I am the most honest, I have always believed that the essence of the contract is honesty, honesty can bring more contracts, in order to reach a happy deal, in addition to my transaction success rate is the highest, currently 100%. The praise rate and return visit rate are also 100%, and everyone is full of praise for me. ”

"Don't you feel like a salesman?"

"The essence of the devil is salesmanship."

Oreon smiled, and the half of his withered face under the cloak smiled slyly: "It's not a skill to send customers what they need, it's a skill to sell what customers don't need, and the plea before death is the easiest to regret, but the thirst for desire is endless." ”

After speaking, Oreon took off a pearl that emitted a gray light and put it in front of Ma Wei: "This is the soul of Toure Crowley, please accept it, whether the transaction is successful or not, I hope you can patronize my business when you need it, this is my business card, you can summon by silently reciting your name." ”

A white card with [Oreon Soul Trading Company] written on the front and a six-pointed star array engraved on the back was handed over.

Oreon got up and bowed, walked to the counter and took out a few dirty gold coins and threw them into the boss's coin jar, then turned around and nodded to Ma Wei: "I'll pay for today's wine, please enjoy it as you like." ”

Opening the door and facing countless vigilant and hostile glances, Oreon said unhurriedly, "Please give way. Excuse me, sorry, it's your hat, thank you. ”

How could Kovalev and the others let it go so easily?

Just as Kovalev and the others were about to subdue it, Mavi's voice came from inside the tavern: "Let it go." ”

Oreon walked out of the crowd smoothly, did not directly launch the magic and left, but actually walked along the residential buildings on the side of the street, and began to throw business cards into the mailbox, one after another.
