19. Bell's conspiracy
Lulu has been a devil for less than a year, and she is a complete novice compared to those old fritters who have been in the Nine Prisons for centuries or even thousands of years.
On the back of the test paper, Lulu couldn't say that she couldn't answer any of the questions. But compared to her competitors, it is too far behind.
Compared with Lulu's panic, the other devils in the open-air examination room became excited and smiled because of the test questions on the back.
The sharp, mad laughter echoed in the examination room.
Lulu's hand holding the pen trembled slightly, but she gritted her teeth and began to force an answer.
Every time she wrote down an answer, it was as if a basin of ice water was pouring over her heart.
By the time Lulu reluctantly wrote down the answer to the last question, she was completely overwhelmed.
What's the use of a positive question score no matter how high it is? After counting the questions on the back, this will only be a miserable answer.
Especially for reporting meritorious deeds, how could she, a devil who has been in hell for less than a year, compete with her boss Delrin, or even her boss's boss.
····························
With the sound of a bell, the exam is over.
The great crowd of devils dispersed one after another.
Lulu's heart was like ashes, and she stood stupidly in place.
She shouldn't have been so desperate. She could have endured the fateful, worst-case scenario: her ears were filled with lead water, her features sewn together, and she was degraded into an ugly, eternally painful bloated demon.
- If the questions on the front of the test paper do not give her hope.
The fantasy in the examination room before gave her too much comfort and warmth.
She almost really thought that she could soar into the sky, escape her tragic fate, and step into the court of Grand Duke Syphire!
When she had to accept the reality, it was like falling from heaven to hell - even though she was already in hell.
Lulu dragged her tired body, surrounded by a large crowd of demons, and left.
············
Zack, the snake general who was closely watched by Siefer, actually completed the entire exam in a peaceful and orderly manner, and then spread his wings and left.
After Zach left the wasteland, he did not immediately return to his mansion on the front line.
In the blood-colored air, Zack cast the [Teleportation Technique].
The space around him distorted in an instant, and the hot flames erupted, and Zach disappeared into the air.
The next moment, he was in the very center of Bell's volcanic fortress, a huge and spacious forge chamber.
A bubbling lava river meanders through. In the many facilities, the bright light illuminates the huge anvils, and a group of giants in shackles are toiling at work.
From his flying throne, Bell watched the giants with a wicked gaze to create weapons one by one.
Throughout the forging room, sparks rained down.
This is the [Volcanic Furnace], one of the fortresses of the former Devil Grand Duke Bell.
Snake General Zach, bowed gently to Bell on the Flying Throne and saluted:
"Lord Bell, your most loyal subordinate, report to you what I have seen. About the usurper and his plans. ”
The Serpent General is called the Serpent General, not because he particularly likes to chat with poisonous snakes, but because he has a three-inch tongue. For this reason, Bell was also very fond of the Serpent General.
Next, Zach reports to Bell about Siefer, in great detail.
It includes not only what he saw during the recruitment exam, but also the fact that Siefel tried to cast a large magic spell in the castle to connect to the otherworld. It can be seen that even in the castle of the lord, there are outsiders' eyeline.
After listening to Zack's report, Bell said meaningfully:
"Seemingly, Siefel is still wary of you. uh······ Examination? Strange questions? The staff of the new court? The grand magic that connects the heteroplanes? ”
Zach still had the same flattering face, he tilted his head and cautiously asked the former lord's opinion:
"Lord Bell, I would like to take the liberty of asking, what kind of strength does Siffel himself have?"
Bell sat up straight:
"I have arranged for two high-level devil eyeliners in the lord's castle, and they carry with them the magic items provided by the Strange Weapon General that can detect the level of powerful existence. As long as it takes 10 days, even if Siefel doesn't make a move, his strength will be exposed! ”
Fillel's true hierarchy is what worries Bell the most.
There are many spells that can see through the strength of an opponent, but the more powerful the existence, the more difficult it is to detect the specific level. And it's usually only detected when you're really in combat and you're playing your full strength.
However, Wonder Weapon General, one of the Eight Demon Generals of the Dark, has recently developed a magic prop that can spend 10 days slowly collecting information and calculate Sifer's level without fighting!
Two high-ranking devils who are secretly loyal to Bell, Vika and Lessers, are in charge of this work within the Lord's Castle.
"If Siefel doesn't reach the Tenth Order Legendary Level, I'll do it right away. Of course, this is less likely. ”
Immediately, Bell clenched his fists and showed a grim smile:
"If Siffel is a legendary devil, then wait for more than a month until the Strange Weapon General's side can gather troops, and then 'visit' the lord's castle on the pretext of Qingjun's side!"
Zach bowed deeply once again to the former lord of the Flying Throne, Bell:
"Lord Bell, the eternal commander of the Hell Legion, I, your most loyal subordinate, can't wait to see the day when you step on the corpse of a usurper and reclaim the throne!"
