Seeing Ram sign the Hell Contract without hesitation, the stone hanging in Sifer's heart finally landed.

There is no doubt that Ram does not know that he is an empty shelf with no real power. A level 98 powerful devil is willing to obey his orders unconditionally, which makes him, a level 96 lord, a little flattered!

It seems that Ram has been sealed in the form of a lake of green slime for too long, and his brain may not be so good. Unfortunately, once I cease to be a liege, the contract will be invalidated. Sifer teased silently, beckoned, and took the contract back into his hand.

After seeing the name of the flame burning in the lower right corner of the contract, Siefel looked up at the new subordinate, and a flash of doubt flashed in his eyes:

"Ram. Why didn't Bell demote you before, or kill you, and forcibly extract soul energy? ”

The Lords of Hell have the right to demote any demons under their command and unleash their soul energy. Of course, the premise is that this devil is bound in the middle of the ritual circle and performs an elaborate demotion ritual. So de-escalation cannot be done in battle.

In addition, after the Hell Lord kills a creature, he can also forcibly extract the soul energy by virtue of the lord's control over the soul energy. However, compared to using ritual de-escalation, although it is faster to kill creatures directly, it draws much less soul energy. Extracting soul energy by killing subordinates has a large loss and low conversion efficiency, which ordinary devil archduke will not consider.

Ram lowered his head and told the truth:

"After I was promoted to the Deep Hell Purgatory, I developed a certain mutation and possessed a special regeneration physique. Soul energy binds to my body and is difficult to pull out.

"It is this special physique that gives me extremely strong vitality and regenerative ability, and common attacks are difficult to kill me.

"As the Lord can see, even if I am cut into pieces or melted into pus, it will take me time to slowly rebuild and recover."

I see. The bubbling lake of green slime from before is what you look like when you are melted······ Even if it has melted into a puddle of slime for more than a century, it can be revived as before. It's an amazing regeneration ability.

Siefel couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Although the vitality of the Hell Devil is far better than that of ordinary humans, there are only a very few mutated devils with such a strong regenerative ability as Ram. Such a devil is really lucky to be his loyal bodyguard.

Of all the monster traits, few are trickier than the ability to regenerate. Siefel knows that there is a monster called a troll that has a powerful regenerative ability that can recover even if it is chopped into pieces. When food is scarce, trolls will even eat themselves for survival.

For monsters with strong enough regeneration ability, they can often only be killed completely by using restraint. For example, the weakness of trolls is fire and strong acid, and only by burning the trolls' flesh with fire and strong acid can they be prevented from regenerating.

As for the demons and demons with the ability to regenerate, their weaknesses are often the holy light of the heavenly realm, as well as the weapons that have been consecrated by the righteous gods of the heavenly realm. This is one of the reasons why angels and paladins restrain evil spirits.

Siefel stood in place, his thoughts a little divergent.

Unfortunately, if Bell had asked me for help, he might have been able to kill him completely. Siefel smiled quietly.

Of course, this is just a joke. Siefel believed that Bell would not kill Ram, and it was estimated that he still wanted to keep a ninth-order devil in case of emergency. Otherwise, with the resources of the lord, it would be easier to get a magic item that causes the holy light of the heavenly realm and kill Ram completely.

Siefel immediately came back to his senses, his blue pupils were cold, and he asked:

"Ram, who else knows you're sealed here?"

It's about the true identity of the days and the nights and the secrets that the girl is hiding!

Ram pondered for a moment and replied:

"The one who came up with the idea of using the waters of the River Styx to hinder my recovery was Mirra, the Wizard General. As for whether there are other demons who know that I am sealed here, it is unknown. ”

Mirage General Pierra? It's him again. Looks like he has a good relationship with Bell. You have such a good relationship, if I don't sow discord, I'm really sorry for my cunning identity as the Devil's Grand Duke. When he returned, he used the name of the palace staff to reply to Bell's letter of rebellion······ This secret of long days and short nights is really unusual.

A smile appeared on Siefer's face, and he bowed his head slightly, and said to Ram in a calm and unwavering tone:

"Ram, you will be my squire from now on. If there is a need for you, I will summon you through the contact of the contract.

"Now, let's go back to the Lord's Castle."

Ram's pupils were slightly dilated, flattered.

He was half-kneeling, with infinite joy in his chest, and a look of awe:

"Do your lord's will!"

························

Castle of the Lords, Seiffel's private vault.

It was a dark and deep chamber, surrounded by a thick darkness. The walls and floors of the room are made of black stone. In the stone fireplace, a dark blue fire flickered, reflecting an ornate but old wooden table and several iron chairs.

At the table, a teenager with his eyes half-closed, one finger touching his temple, as if feeling something.

The boy is the essence of the young devil Grand Duke Seefer. He remotely controls the avatar and brings Ram back to the Lord's Castle.

After a few moments, Siffel reopened his eyes, and only a small amount of consciousness was used to maintain control of the avatar, and most of his energy was devoted to his eyes.

He clapped his hands, and a piece of parchment and a quill flew to the table in front of him.

"It's time to write back to Bell. I guess he couldn't wait for a reply, and he was very anxious. ”

What should I write about? With a feather in his hand, Siefel pondered the words for a moment and began to write down on the paper.

Rustle. The rustle of the quill against the parchment was clearly audible in the dim glow of silence.

It didn't take long for the yellowed paper to be covered in ink. The letters of hell are graceful and neat, neatly arranged on yellow paper. But the hideous appearance of the letters of hell still makes these words look like they are dripping with sulfur and venom from a distance.

Siefel picked up the quaint parchment letter, smiled brightly, and admired his masterpiece complacently for a moment.

The content of the reply is not complicated.

First of all, the person who replied to the letter must have been the court staff "Lausanne". A large section is devoted to pulling and greetings, but it also contains several rather "useful" information.

For example, for Bale's greatest concern, Siefer's strength. "Lausanne" secretly revealed that even the incarnation of Sifer was no less than that of a ninth-order devil, and his body was even more unfathomable!

"Lausanne" also claimed that Seefer had shot once in front of him, and there was no doubt that he had the strength of the legendary level, and he was definitely not a rookie who had just stepped into the legendary realm, and it was most likely a legendary devil of the eleventh, twelfth or even stronger ranks.

As for Siffer's physical condition, "Lausanne" said that he did not know about it, and he was not sure if Siffel had suffered some kind of curse. He assured Bell that he would find a way to make more contact with the lord during this time and observe. As soon as valuable information is obtained, we will reply immediately.

At the end of the letter, "Lausanne" also inadvertently revealed a lively little secret -

Two days ago, Lord Sifer was drunk, and boasted to the members of the palace staff team at the wine table that he had a good relationship with several of the Dark Eight Demon Generals, and that they had always had secret correspondence with each other.

On top of that, according to Sifer, one of the Eight Dark Devils, he also revealed many of Bell's secrets to him. Seefer drank water bitterly at the wine table, laughing and boasting:

"Bell, that idiot, really think how many people support him. As everyone knows, his self-proclaimed henchman has already told me all the secrets. When I go to the Wasteland Gap tomorrow and release the prisoner Ram, I'll have one more hand against Bell.

"With Neiying, it won't be long before I can find evidence of Bell's rebellion and put this annoying former lord in a dungeon······"

As for which of the Eight Dark Devils leaked the secret to Sifel, "Lausanne" wanted to inquire, but Lord Siffel kept silent and scolded Lausanne bitterly.

"Lausanne" swore to Bell that he would reply when he had the opportunity to get information in the future.
