Section 44
In front of the burning parchment, the fiery and pungent sulfur condenses into the glamorous figure of Beludona.
"You finally remembered that you have a human friend on earth?" Annan laughed with Beludona, who hadn't been in touch with him for a long time.
Beludona was not used to this closeness and got down to business: "I'll show you something...... Come out. β
The smoke dispersed into a monstrous mass of indescribable, strange shapesβlike a dog swollen by bees.
"What is this?"
"Demon spirit, but we also call it a demon worm."
Annan said euphemistically: "You know, Beludona, I have not dabbled in the knowledge of hell......"
"Tip: it's an acquaintance of yours."
Annan doesn't remember any other acquaintances he had in Hell......
Continue to observe the demonic spirit, which exudes a substantial hatred......
Who hates themselves so madly?
"Mad Dog Archduke?"
Annan had some guesses and asked tentatively.
"It's ridiculous, but the damned are still alive......" The demon spirit cracked its mouth open, turning from a dog swollen by a bee sting into a piece of bread broken by Martin
"It can talk!?" Annan pretended to be surprised, and then said with mockery: "You know what? We are the only one here who doesn't have a sister. β
"I'm still here......"
Claire's voice suddenly rang out from behind Beludona.
The smoke condensed into a demonic horn, but a familiar face of Claire:
Annan said in surprise: "You have become a devil? β
"How's the surprise I've prepared?" Beludona smiled.
"I thought you'd bring me a mountain of gold coins...... Annan smiled, "but this ending is not bad, I like it." β
After speaking, he restrained his expression and looked at the mad dog archduke with disgust:
"It would be better if I didn't have this nuisance."
When Claire appeared, the mad dog archduke, who was purely condensed by hatred, suddenly became complicated, but still stiff-mouthed: "Wait...... I'm going to come back from hell......"
"Then I'll kill you once, but I don't know if you'll be just as lucky to have a sister who is willing to protect you with her life......"
After speaking, Annan's words changed, "But I want to thank you." If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be firmly on the opposite side of the kingdom of Rekaner......"
"It's up to you to ......"
"I forgot to tell you that the Hellfire Legion that annihilated you has expanded to 5,000 people, and the Black Watch Legion, which just defeated the Empire on the Great Wall of the North, has hunted five million rat ears, and I have three more such legions."
Annan is bragging, he has four legions, but not every legion is like hellfire...... But the mad dog archduke doesn't know anyway.
The Mad Dog Grand Duke was silent, Annan didn't bother to pay attention to it, and looked at Bedudona expectantly: "Is there any other good news?" β
"Does it have no chance of turning over?"
"No, if you don't do it, I'll do it."
Annan and Belludona talk in front of the Claire siblings, who don't care about a demon spirit and a trainee devil, and the former doesn't care about a demon spirit, but he trusts Claire to do the right thing.
It's like she used the devil's pact to snatch the soul of the mad dog archduke to hell, so that he is still alive but needs atonement.
"Oh, here's for you."
Berudona touched her body, then spat out a magic ring with rubies hot from hell.
The magic swept by, and Annan found that it was nearly five times larger than the ring he had worn for almost two years, and contained mountains of gold coins, gems, and precious antiques.
"A relic of a legendary mage, I picked it out of my uncle's treasury, and it's all in the magic image sales these days."
"Thanks, I need it just right." Annan immediately put on the ruby magic ring and transferred everything inside.
There is never too many magic rings, and they can be useful for both trade and delivery.
After getting the treasures and money, Annan swept away the haze that had emerged because of the mad dog Grand Duke, and said with a smile: "Then what can I help you?" β
"You can't help." Berudona shook her head.
"How do you know if you can't help if you don't say it?"
"I ...... Lack of performance ...... "Belludona reveals the truth.
"The contract?"
"Hmm."
"I remember that the contract for Liberty City was basically handed over to you?"
"yes, but it's just enough for me to survive." Beludona reluctantly said, "I don't have much time to develop my business because I'm busy with your business." β
"Aren't there a lot of them in Liberty City?"
"Those ordinary trade contracts?" Beludona spoke in a disdainful tone.
If she was still a trainee devil, she would still accept it in order to become a regular one, but she is already a devil and can't look down on these fly legs.
Instead of directly persuading her, Annan told the story of the merchant and his son:
"Once upon a time there was a merchant who wanted to give his property to his children, but he did not know who of the two children could be entrusted with the task, so he called them to him and said, 'Whoever of you can fill this house with his wealth in a year will inherit my property.'"
"The eldest son visited the princes and ministers everywhere, the nobles and the rich, but no one believed him and was willing to make deals with him. A year later, his house was still empty. β
But the second son filled it with wealth. It turned out that he did not choose to go to the nobles, but traded with merchants and commoners to accumulate fame. As more and more people knew about him, the aristocratic wealthy merchants who neglected their eldest son took the initiative to come to him. β
"You made it up?"
Beludona smelled a lie.
"But it's the same thing." Annan said indifferently.
Annan was a man of action. Beludona was still thinking about it, and Annan had summoned her main body.
Suddenly from the blazing hell to the cool human world, Bedudona steam snorted uncomfortably.
"I won't harm you, the higher your status in hell, the more good we have."
"I know......" Beludona said helplessly, "but I won't be able to go back to hell for a long time?" β
Annan ignored this.
"Then you don't have to show up, how about just sending the contract scroll over?"
This is not difficult, and many reputable high-ranking devils will even take their contracts as gifts. But the problem is that Beludona has just turned positive, and the contracts she makes every day are limited.
"Unless ......"
"Unless?" Annan looked at Bedudona suspiciously.
"Unless I ask Claire, Lias, and Gelman to come and help me."
"Who are they?"
"My henchmen are all apprentice devils."
Annan has no opinion, and by the way, Claire has a new life, and it is good for her to return to the world: "You are the director of the Devil's Notary Office, you are in charge." β
"The Devil's Notary?"
"The department I just decided to set up."
