Varro and Xue Xue were engulfed by the devils and retreated to the rear.

The devil naturally has his own fortress position in the Wanyuan Plain, and it is not even far from the demon's fortress.

Until he entered the gates of the fortress, Varro did not see Towne.

"Mr. Tang won't really get separated from us, will he?" Varro was a little flustered: "Why don't we find a way to get out of the fortress and find a magic ship first?" ”

"There should be a humanoid mercenary hired by the devil here, right? For example, the human who saved the Devil Duke before? ”

"I think he might be willing to take me out of the Endless Abyss."

Xue Xue just shook his head.

"I'm going to wait for him."

"If you can't wait, maybe Mr. Tang has encountered some unexpected situation. I didn't mean that, but the battlefield is so chaotic and strong people abound, who can say for sure? Varro babbled to hide the panic in his heart.

In the midst of a fortress full of demons, Varro couldn't imagine what would happen to him if he was discovered. It's definitely worse than being discovered by a demon.

After all, demons kill themselves at most, and demons not only kill themselves, but also torture their own souls after their own death.

In the Nine Layers of Purgatory, the soul is the absolute hard currency, and all creatures that have been defiled by the devil will directly enter the Nine Layers of Purgatory through the Styx River after death, and then be salvaged by the devils, squeezing out the last bit of value of the soul in endless torture, and finally only the body is left to re-transform into the lowest inferior demon.

"Forget it, I'll look for an opportunity myself."

Varro is not short of adventurousness.

But as soon as he was about to take a step, he found himself completely unable to move.

"He told me to take a fancy to you." Xue Xue's voice sounded.

"He's asking you to protect me! Not optimistic about me! Varro shouted aggrievedly.

"Really?"

"Isn't it?"

"It's not."

Varro: "I've met some people. ”

This is, Varro saw that on the high platform of the fortress, an ice demon commander stepped forward, and beside him, there was also a human.

Varro recognized that this was the human who had saved the Devil Duke before.

"Is it a mercenary? Unexpectedly, the devil actually hired even the legendary level. But it's worth it, otherwise the Devil Duke will fall. ”

He muttered to himself, "I don't know what reward he will get." ”

Premium? This kind of thing simply doesn't exist.

Tang Sen stood beside the Ice Demon, looking at the demons standing neatly below, and felt some emotion in his heart.

It's really not easy to get in touch with the Devil Duke.

The ice demon next to him was naturally the ice demon who was attacked by Tang Sen on the battlefield, but now he is his own person.

It really didn't take much of Tang Sen's energy to rebel against this ice demon.

It's nothing more than coercion and inducement.

Needless to say, entering the half-plane of Tang Sen, seeing Tang Sen's happy appearance, even the chaotic and evil demon had to be soft on the ground, not to mention the devil, this ice demon was probably more afraid of Tang Sen than for the devil duke.

As for the inducement—

For the devil, the biggest temptation is promotion, after all, the promotion of these guys is not as simple as the devil.

In addition to the power given by more powerful demons, the promotion of demons can also improve oneself by devouring other demons.

But the devil is different, the devil has a strict hierarchy, and if you want to be promoted, you must get the permission of your immediate boss before you can hold a promotion ceremony - obviously, for the devil, he is extremely reluctant to let his subordinates be promoted, so as not to jeopardize his position.

This model is similar to Serre's red-robed mage, but because of the race, the supervision is stricter, and it is more difficult to break away from this system.

And Tang Sen can give the ice demon a monstrous opportunity.

For example, the man hired by the Ice Demon saved the life of the Devil Duke.

This kind of merit is enough for the Ice Demon to be directly promoted to the Abyss Demon Refining.

So the devil undoubtedly chose to cooperate with Townese.

And Tang Sen also needs to contact the Devil Duke through the promotion ceremony of the Ice Demon.

Tang Sen saw the devil that Varro and Xue Xue had become in the crowd, of course, he ignored Varro, there was something about the devil, Varro didn't know the best, he just sent a message to Xue Xue, so that the other party could temporarily lurk in the devil's fortress and wait for his business to be done.

Of course, Xue Xue did not have any objection to this.

The Ice Demon finished counting the results of this battle, and just as an abyss refining demon came over.

He said in purgatory in a complicated tone: "Diablo, the Duke wants to see you. ”

As he spoke, he kept looking at Tang Sen, and his face was not very friendly.

"Follow your orders, General Alchwell." The ice demon named Diablo said respectfully.

"Soon you won't be my subordinate." General Alchweller waved his hand and said in an unhappy tone: "Go quickly, don't let the Duke wait long." ”

Diablo bowed, and then walked towards the inside of the fortress, with Townsend hurriedly following closely behind.

"Stop, you can't go." Alchwell stood in front of Townwel: "The Duke did not summon you. ”

Tang Sen narrowed his eyes and said, "The duke shouldn't have said that he couldn't see me, right?" ”

"A human who also wants to see the Duke?" Alchwell's tone was not good: "Who do you think you are?" ”

"I saved your duke." Tang Sen sneered and competed: "Looking at your appearance, you seem to be dissatisfied with me?" ”

Without waiting for Alchwell to speak, Townsend spoke quickly: "Dissatisfied with me, dissatisfied with the result of saving the Duke, dissatisfied with this result-"

He looked Alchwell up and down, his voice raising in vain: "Do you want to see another situation?" Do you want the duke to die and then take his place? ”

Alchwell was suddenly taken aback by Townesen's words, of course he was not afraid of Townesend, but he was afraid that these words would reach the Duke's ears, which was no small matter.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly roared: "You're farting!" My loyalty to the Duke is known to everyone! If I hadn't been far away at the time, I would definitely use my body to block the duke's sword! ”

"Your actions don't quite match your words." Tang Sen spread his hands: "Everyone only sees that you are embarrassing the duke's life-saving benefactor." ”

Alchwell's face suddenly became even more difficult to look at, and he said in a deep voice, "I didn't embarrass you. I just do things by the rules. The Duke didn't summon you! Just a human being."

"Looks like you don't understand anything." Tang Sen's face turned cold: "Why do you think, why did the Duke meet Diablo?" Why was Diablo going to be promoted? ”

"That's because he acknowledges Diablo's credit! Think about it with your few brains! The Duke didn't summon me because of his noble status, and it was inconvenient to summon a human, not because he didn't want to see me! ”

"You can't understand the duke's subtext, and you're still trying to stop it? Bad Duke thing? ”

"I, I." Alchwell's mind was a mess, recalling the scene when the Duke gave him orders.

Duke, does that mean?

Without waiting for Alchwell to continue figuring out, Townsend shouted: "Don't get out of the way?" ”

Alchwell's conditioned sideways body.

When he reacted to his dignified abyss demon refining and actually retreated because of a human reprimand, the extreme humiliation suddenly made his eyes red, and he was about to be furious to regain face, but he heard a fluttering sentence from Tang Sen, who had just walked past him.

"You don't want to see me tell me about it in front of the Duke, do you? Alchwell. ”

Alchwell's movements were another stagnant.

As a result, there was only one back left in his eyes.

"Wise choice, you saved your life."

Diablo saw this episode the whole time, he slowed down, waited for Townsend to walk in front of him, and said with some admiration: "It's the first time I've seen General Alchwell's expression like this, master, you actually made him back down with just a few words. ”

"Compared to humans, I think the master is definitely more suitable to become a devil, in this race, with the master's ability to play with the mind, he can definitely become the devil duke, no, the lord of the nine prisons!"

"Don't be a sycophant." Tang Sen glanced at him, "Also, don't call me master, my name is Red, you can call me Mr. Red." ”

Become a devil? Stop it.

Being a devil in the eyes of the devil is what the god of deception should do.

Soon, the two entered the castle and walked long along the heavily guarded corridor, until they finally came to a large gate.

Diablo was a little nervous, to be honest, he had never been so close to the Devil Duke, the other party was the superior of his own superiors. Contacting the Devil Duke by crossing one's superiors is tantamount to betrayal for one's superiors, and in the Devil Race, the consequences of such a thing are unimaginable.

Although this time, I came by meritorious service, but-

Diablo glanced at Townesend.

Alchwell was actually right, the Devil Duke did not summon Town, and bringing the other party over by himself was a very transgressive act, and it was very likely to anger the Devil Duke.

However, the arrow was ready to fly, and it had to be sent.

He took a deep breath and knocked respectfully on the door.

The door opened automatically, and inside was a very large hall, and at the end of the hall, the Devil Duke was sitting on his throne.

His face was not good, it took him a lot of energy to remove the influence of the gods in his body, and when he saw Tang Sen, his face became even worse.

"I hope the Duke doesn't care about my presumptuous visit."

Before the Devil Duke attacked, Tang Sen had already taken the lead in speaking: "I have something important to discuss with the Duke. ”

But the Duke didn't pay attention to Tang Sen, but looked at Diablo and said coldly: "You can go." ”

Diablo's face suddenly turned pale.

He didn't expect the Devil Duke to be so unkind and decisive, just because he didn't come alone, he directly exempted the promotion ceremony that should have been there, and he didn't even want to say a word to himself.

He could only look at Townsend for help.

Tang Sen didn't look at him, but stared at the duke, and said, "Isn't the duke curious about what I'm going to say?" ”

Only then did the Devil Duke put his eyes on Tang Sen's body, and his face showed a trace of disdain: "If you want to mention what happened just now, I can only say that you probably don't know the devil, human. ”

"There's no contract between you and me, so-"

"No, I didn't just save your mortal life from the Demon Lord's sword, not to ask for a reward." Tang Sen quickly and in detail uttered this string of words, which successfully made the Devil Duke's face completely cold.

"In that case, you can-"

"I'm not done yet." Townsend interrupted the Devil Duke again.

This arrogant, bold move made Diablo even begin to tremble slightly.

In the Nine Layers of Purgatory, except for the Lord of the Nine Hells, no other existence dared to treat the Devil Duke with such an attitude, because everyone knew what kind of consequences this would face.

Diablo suddenly felt as if he had chosen the wrong bet

Wait, you don't have a choice at all?

That's fine.

Diablo was at peace, but the Devil Duke was furious, he had already been overshadowed and experienced a great defeat, and now a human thought that he could command himself in front of him if he saved his life?

Instead, he laughed evilly, and his heart had already begun to think about how to concoct Town's body and soul, after so many years, it might be interesting to personally torture a person again.

So he waited for Townsend to continue without saying a word.

Tang Sen didn't seem to see the Devil Duke's face at all, and continued as usual: "The reward of a Devil Duke has no meaning to me, the reason why I saved you is just to be convenient, after all, I really don't bother to go to the Ninth Layer Purgatory to find another Devil Duke in person." ”

The Devil Duke sneered.

"Anyway, as I mentioned before, I have important matters to discuss with the Duke."

He paused, looked directly into the Duke's cold eyes, and said, "It's about the Duke being able to replace one of the Nine Prison Lords. ”

The Devil's face did not change in the slightest.

At his level, it is no longer something that words can impress, and it is impossible to show any reaction because of such a sentence, although whether it is the Nine Helllords, or all the other devils, or even any gods who understand the devil race, they know that there is no Devil Duke who does not covet the position of the Nine Helllords, and there is no Nine Helllords who does not covet the position of the real Lord of Hell, Asmantis.

It's just that they all hide this strong desire in the deepest part of their hearts forever, and it will not be revealed until they see the dagger.

"My patience has run out, human."

The Devil Duke stood up, "I've thought of an interesting way to die, and trust me, you're going to be looking forward to what is coming next." ”

"I don't advise you to do that, Lord Duke." Tang Sen's face was calm: "One step further, what you will face is death. ”

This was too calm and made the Devil Duke's movements pause.

"Death? It's up to you? His attitude was still tough and vicious, but out of caution, he did not act immediately, but only said tentatively: "What made you have the illusion that you are enough to resist me?" Even if I'm not in my prime, it's easy to kill you. ”

"I'm sure Your Excellency the Duke can do it." Tang Sen replied: "As you can see, if you plan to do it, with my strength, I'm afraid there is not much room for resistance. ”

"You're not afraid of death?" The Devil Duke was a little puzzled.

"Death is my destination." Tang Sen actually showed a yearning smile on his face: "My whole life has been waiting for death to come, waiting to return there."

Tang Sen paused and abruptly changed the subject: "Your Excellency Duke, I'm afraid this is not a topic we should talk about. ”

"You just need to know that death means very different things to you and me, and now, it's time for you to choose."

"Choose to do what you want to do, so you face an irresistible, eternal death, or listen to what I'm going to say and talk about something that might make you the Lord of the Nine Hells?"

The Devil Duke stared at Tang Sen deadly, his face cloudy.

The other party's fearlessness and the abrupt words made him have some guesses.

"You think this will scare me?" He took a few steps forward, and the huge shadow directly enveloped Tang Sen: "You are bluffing, do you think you can deceive a devil duke?" ”

Townsend spread his arms and said nothing.

However, the Devil Duke suddenly felt that there was a certain power on the other party's body that he could barely perceive, but was extremely familiar.

This kind of power, in the battle with the demon lord just now, almost killed him.

A power that belongs to the gods.

He froze.

"What are you hesitating about?" Tang Sen said: "I'm waiting for the Devil Duke's means." ”

"Just kidding." The Devil Duke took a step back and suddenly smiled: "You are my savior, please forgive me for my cautious temptation just now, I was just worried that you have something to do with the devil." ”

This clumsy explanation eased the atmosphere in the hall a little.

Of course, the Devil Duke also knew that the other party would not believe it, but whether he believed it or not was not the key at all, he sat back in his seat and asked:

"Behind your back. Which deity is it? ”

"I'm afraid it's not a good thing to be too curious, Lord Duke." Tang Sen narrowed his eyes, as if he was angry because of this question, his face turned cold, and his tone sounded a little condescending:

"You need to figure out your position, you are just one of the alternative collaborators, you just need to communicate with me, and the higher level of things, even if you have a guess in your heart, never let me hear any name."

"Otherwise—"

"There are too many devils in the Nine Layers of Purgatory who covet the position of the Duke."

The Devil Duke's attitude was diametrically opposed to before, the anger and hideousness on his face were swept away, and he said with a very gentle attitude: "It's just small talk, I am only loyal to Asmantis, the Lord of the Nine Hells, and I don't plan to have too much contact with the gods." ”

Needless to say, which one must be the deity related to the priesthood of death? What was the purpose of sending an emissary to contact a devil duke?

The Devil Duke kept guessing in his heart, but he was silent on the surface, and said to Diablo, who had been standing next to him and didn't dare to speak: "Your promotion ceremony is ready, this is the reward you deserve." ”

Diablo suddenly became excited, and knelt down to thank him just now, but the Devil Duke no longer looked at him, but looked at Tang Sen again, and said, "Haven't asked the name of this oracle yet?" ”

"Rhett." Tang Sen said flatly.

"Is the Rhett Divine Envoy interested-"

"Call me Mr. Rhett." Tang Sen interrupted him: "Doesn't the dignified Devil Duke even have basic emotional intelligence? I'm not a pastor, and there are certain things that don't need to be preached. ”

"Mr. Rhett has a point, but I didn't think it through."

The Devil's Duke had a good attitude: "I haven't introduced myself yet, Mr. Red can call me by my name, Deerhertz." ”

"I wonder if Mr. Red is interested in visiting the Devil's Promotion Ceremony?"

Tang Sen frowned: "Let's get down to business first, right?" ”

"It's okay, we can watch and talk at the same time."

Deerherz motioned for Diablo to stand in the center of the main hall and explained, "Originally, the ceremony of the Ice Demon's promotion to the Abyss Purgatory needed to be carried out in purgatory, but if I were to preside over it, it would be possible here. ”

He tapped the armrest of the seat, and a blood-red magic array suddenly appeared in the center of the main hall.

With a hesitant look on his face, Townsend finally took a few steps forward, walked over to Deerherz, and turned to look at Diablo.

At this time, Diablo was standing in the center of the large array, with an expression of ecstasy on his face.

"Attention, it's about to start, this is a rare scene, even in the Nine Prisons, it's not always happening."

The red light of the magic array became more and more intense, and even the smell of blood appeared in the air.

No, it wasn't an illusion from the magic circle, and Townsend noticed that Diablo's skin was melting, revealing muscle tissue, and bright red blood was rushing out of his body.

He let out a scream, but couldn't move.

An indescribable pain enveloped his body, and Townsend watched as the magic was completely destroying the lucky man's body, spraying his internal organs, shattering his limbs, and Diablo being crushed to pieces in the most brutal way.

"What a beautiful scene, isn't it?"

Deerhertz let out a happy laugh: "If you want to gain great power, you must pay a price, this is the devil's rule of life - whether it is for ourselves or other races, we uphold the fairness of trade." ”

"The devil's reputation is truly deep-seated." Townsend said.

"The ritual of promoting to the Abyss Demon Refining takes sixteen hours, and we have a lot of time to talk now." Deerhertz said, "Mr. Red, then, what news did you bring me?" ”

"Nature is what the devil wants most." Tang Sen said slowly, "Soul." ”

"Soul?"

"That's right, countless souls, enough for you to get the attention of Asmontis and promote the soul of the Nine Hell Lords."

"I'm not interested in becoming the Lord of the Nine Hells at all, I'm loyal to my lord." Deerhertz replied so resolutely, and then changed the subject: "Moreover, this is unlikely, no matter how many ordinary souls there are, it is not enough for Asmontis to pay attention to them, at this level, what is needed is a higher quality soul." ”

"Nothing is impossible." Tang Sen said calmly: "What if it is the soul of an entire world? ”

"One by one, the whole world?" Deerhertz was startled.

"The day of destruction is coming, first of all, the sea will overturn, and all the land will be flooded, second, the gods will begin to walk on the earth, and the flames of war will be raised, and finally, everything will come to an end, and no living thing will be spared." With an expression of extreme admiration and fanaticism on his face, Tang Sen finished singing this passage in a low voice.

"What is this?" Deerhertz couldn't help but ask.

"A prophecy." Tang Sen retracted his expression, returned to his flatness, and said, "The prophecy that will definitely happen." ”

"All this will happen soon, and when the time comes, the River Styx will burst its banks because of countless souls, think about it, if those souls are engraved with your brand—"

Townsend paused at the right time and let Deerhertz imagine it for himself.

Deerhertz did imagine it, and even breathed a little faster, but he was still cautious, and said, "Just because of a prophecy? You know, prophecy is such a thing."

"It's going to happen." Tang Sen narrowed his eyes: "Of course, you need the help of His Excellency the Duke in the early stage. ”

It dawned on Deerhertz.

Where is this prophecy? This is clearly a plan!

A plan to destroy the world!

The god behind Mr. Rhett in front of him, no matter what his identity is, he definitely wants to do something big. And he was chosen to join the pre-planning of that big event.

Deerhertz couldn't help but think about it, he was not ignorant of everything about the gods, especially after participating in the bloody war, he knew that behind the bloody war, there were an unknown number of gods constantly arranged, and they affected all aspects of the bloody war because of their priesthood.

Of course, Deerhertz doesn't like this, as the commander of this battlefield, he wants victory too much, he wants to completely drive those disgusting, completely uncommunicative demons out of the Abyss Plain, and even wants to completely disappear the habitat and birthplace of demons like the Endless Abyss.

But he knew that this kind of thing was no longer possible, not something he could do, not even the lords of the Nine Hells, including Asmantis, the Lord of the Nine Hells, unless the gods who controlled this war fell.

Clearly, there is now a deity ready to open up a new battlefield, looking elsewhere and taking the lead.

This kind of thing will definitely be stopped by other gods, and it will even turn into a god war. But what does it matter? Things between gods are too far away for Deerherz.

Deerherz just wants to seize the opportunity to become the Lord of the Nine Prisons!

"What do I need to do?" Deerhertz said directly.

"That's where detailed planning comes in." A smile appeared on Tang Sen's face: "I have to go to that world first." ”

"When the time comes, I'll tell you what to do."

"Which world?" Deerhertz asked.

"Your Excellency the Duke may have heard of it." Tang Sen slowly spit out two words:

"Faeron."
