It was a young face, with a slightly narrow face, very handsome with just the right straight nose, and a delicately trimmed beard that made the man look a little more mature, but his jumping gaze contained great vitality and curiosity.

Although he was only sitting, the man's every move exuded an elegant, unhurried and well-educated temperament, like the declining aristocracy who frequently haunted the upper class banquets.

Seeing the two of them, the man smiled slightly, and said politely: "It's really rare, His Majesty Pope Constantine IV has come to make the humble house shine, but unfortunately I can't invite you to come in and sit." ”

"How are you doing all these years?" Konstantin slowly approached the stone chamber. "Viscount Levell of Hell."

Hearing this name, the man's eyes flashed, and then he showed his usual elegant smile: "Thanks to the blessings of your Holy See, there is food and drink here, I have read a lot of books over the years and benefited a lot." Lever put the last four words in particular.

"Four hundred years ago, you came to earth from the depths of hell by mistake and were captured and imprisoned here by the Holy See. After all these years, have you ever thought about being free? Konstantin looked at him and said.

Deep in Hell...... Could it be that the rumors that the Holy See had captured demons and held them in secret were true?

Lever smiled unmoved, grabbed a copy of Kangde's "Critique of Pure Reason" from his side, buried his head in reading, and said, "You came here, you must not have told me this, right?" ”

"How dare you speak to His Majesty the Pope like that......" Ralph's face changed and he was about to attack.

With a slight wink, Konstantin motioned for him to stand down.

After carefully looking at the stone chamber through the steel bar, he sighed for a while: "I have to say, you demons are indeed a kind of awe-inspiring creatures. After being locked up for 400 years, even the strongest creatures can go crazy, and you can stay calm all the time.

"Four hundred years of watchmen have changed batch after batch, all of them are the most devout people with the most devout faith in God, but they all have great respect for you......"

"I heard that the Holy See has declined in recent years, and it seems that it is true. The dignified Pope also began to pat himself on the back. Lever didn't look up, interrupting him.

Ignoring his teasing, Konstantin suddenly said, "Do me a favor, and you will be free." ”

Putting down the book, Lever looked up at him.

After a while, as if to confirm that Konstantin was not joking, he said in a deep voice: "You want to make a deal with the devil? ”

Konstantin looked calm: "What's not to do?" ”

Putting aside the book in his hand, Lever left the sofa and walked to the cell door, facing Konstantin face to face: "I want to warn you that this price may be very high." ”

Konstantin nodded slowly: "Don't worry, I can afford to lose." ”

Lever finally burst out laughing: "Interesting, interesting. Now I am very interested to know what the outside world has become, and the Pope would make a deal with the devil. ”

Stopping his laughter, he asked, "So, what do you want me to do?" ”

Konstantin raised three fingers: "Kill three non-humans." A tiger demon named Zhang Lie, a vampire named Blat, and a harpy banshee named Annie. When it's done, I'll set you free. ”

Lively wondered: "That's just a small thing, but aren't you afraid that I'll run away like this?" ”

Konstantin did not reply, but took out a ring of intertwined angels and demons cast from his bosom and placed it in front of Lever.

Seeing this, Lever looked at Konstantin in astonishment: "You want to sign the 'Ageras Contract' with me?" ”

The Covenant of Ageras is a sacred covenant that can bind angels and demons in legend.

This is actually a one-sided contract, and legend has it that in ancient times, people with profound magical powers often summoned angels and demons to their service. In order to bind them, someone invented the Aghras Contract, and it is rumored that this magical contract was actually passed on to mankind by God or Satan.

In general, there are two aspects to entering into this contract. The first is to restrain the behavior of the contractor, and the second is to reward the contractor. If the contractor violates the constraints, even if it is an angel or a demon, he will face the most severe punishment - death. Conversely, if you achieve your goal without violating the constraints, you will be rewarded.

"Restraint, you can't kill anyone; Target, killing three non-humans; Reward, back to hell. Konstantin said, handing the ring to Lever.

Instead of picking it up, Lever shook his head: "I refuse." You will come to me, I think those three non-humans are very difficult to deal with, this restraint is equivalent to completely tying my hands and feet. ”

Following his cunning suggestion, he said, "Well, change the constraint to not kill any member of the Holy See, except for other humans." In the end, for a moment the grace on his face vanished, replaced by a desperate thirst for blood and killing.

Konstantin, of course, knew what the difference meant, and he shook his head flatly: "Impossible. ”

"Really?" Lever shrugged indifferently and walked back to the couch to sit down, "That's a shame. ”

After a moment of silence, Konstantin added, "I can change the constraint to 'don't kill anyone'." ”

"No, no, it's still the same." Levle still refused: "Either do what I ask, or cancel the deal." ”

This time Konstantin did not hesitate, he turned around and left: "Okay. ”

"Wait!" After not taking a few steps, Lever jumped up suddenly: "I've thought it through, I'll do as you say." There was a strange smile on his face that no one could guess.

Turning around, Konstantin also smiled: "Very good, then put it on, and in three days, I will let you out." ”

On the way back, Bishop Ralph said worriedly: "Your Majesty, is this really appropriate?" Although he signed the 'Ageras Pact', the devil's cunning is beyond our imagination, and if he plays any tricks, I am afraid that it will be difficult to end up in the end. ”

Konstantin said confidently: "What about the demon, it is not going to be my tool yet." As long as he can't take the initiative to kill, he can only obediently fulfill the contract. Rest assured, the reward of the 'Aghras Pact' is also mandatory, and once he kills those three non-humans, he will be forcibly sent to hell and will no longer be able to stay on earth. ”

Sighing in his heart, "I hope so", Ralph was still a little uneasy: "But, is it really necessary for demons to deal with non-humans?" ”

Konstantin said: "I have been following the news of these three people for a long time, from the Vatican's retreat to the destruction of the base, all of them are their masterpieces, which shows that they have extraordinary abilities.

"Especially the one Zhang Lie, I have received a lot of reports about him, and I can see that this monster has some worrying intentions, and I have to be vigilant. So far, nearly ten Templars have died directly or indirectly at his hands. ”

"What!" Ralph was shocked.

The Knights Templar is the elite of the Holy See's army, and there are not many of them, and even a place as important as the island base is only stationed in a squad of six people to defend it, which has caused a big headache for the Alliance. This time, only two people were alive, which already made Ralph feel distressed. And at the hands of Zhang Lie alone, nearly ten Templars were killed, how could he not be surprised?

Konstantin continued: "These monsters must be eradicated as soon as possible, otherwise it will become a big problem in the future, especially now that we have suffered heavy losses and have to slow down the clean-up operation, so it is best to have Lever intervene." If we don't get things done as soon as possible, I'm afraid we'll have a protracted war with the Alliance......"

"Yes, the Pope is wise, and his subordinates understand." Ralph finally agreed.

After a moment, Konstantin suddenly said, "How is the egg stolen from the dragon clan?" ”

Ralph replied: "Incubation is being intensified and it is going very well. ”

Konstantin nodded: "Very good, this matter must be kept strictly secret, and it must not be spread until it is successful, especially not let the dragon clan know." ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

"Hmph, don't think that this small victory will keep you alive, stupid non-humans, soon I will make you pay a hundredfold price for this!"

In the darkness, Konstantin's voice was as cold as ice.
