Chapter 191: Layers of Outsourcing
The sixth level of hell, Malboji, outside the underground fortress of Margoszeg, on the boundless rocky slope.
The dragon father Artilisia and the other dragons, who were picked up by David from the maggot's den, were stunned to watch the legendary Devil Lady Archduchess Glesia wave her hand, and with her bare hands, she pinched off one of the red bronze fortresses from her sandcastle landscape table and suspended it in the air.
And when the red bronze fortress on it twisted and changed according to its will, into a city cluster full of gloomy style, full of floating towers, twisted staircases, and columnless halls, the dragon father Artilisia and they suddenly looked stupid like a country dragon who had never seen the world:
"So, you directly asked the five-colored dragon queen for a floating city? And He, did he really give it to you? ”
He had never imagined and never heard of the legendary five-colored dragon queen Tiamat who had been so generous!
Davy replied with his head held high [arrogant]:
"It's not really a floating city, it's just a copycat."
As soon as David's words fell, as if to express dissatisfaction with his assessment of a 'knockoff', the 'Cottage Floating City', which already seemed to be at least full of Netharel's arcane style, was placed in front of them by the Devil Archduke.
With the roar of a mountain falling to the ground, the entire Marboji plane, which was dominated by endless slopes, immediately seemed to be like a large avalanche, and the magnificent rock flow rolled down with a bang.
"Then should I also announce to the Bronze Fortress of Avernath that the 'Digger Dragon' handed over from the Fortress of the Scales, Davyyutos, is also a copycat?"
"No, no, No, His Highness Grasia has good craftsmanship, at least it looks no different from the real Floating City."
Davy's group of 'visitors' from the Evil Scale Fortress had no choice but to ascend to heaven in unison, and then watched nervously as the rock flow that could theoretically crush anything in its path crashed into the cottage city, only to deflect to the sides as if they had encountered a mainstay.
"If it weren't for the sake of you saving my family's last descendant Yolanda this time, even if it was from my father's request, I wouldn't be too lazy to do such a tedious and boring thing, not to mention anything else, you are a red dragon, but there are really many requirements for all kinds of breaks."
The seemingly careless words of the Devil Grand Duchess surprised Davy:
Damn, Tiamat actually asked the Lord of the Nine Prisons for his own plan of slapping his head?!
And His Majesty actually agreed!
David's skull was a little numb.
I seem to be really on the big deal.
If it weren't for the fact that I had a god mother covered with it, and I was only taking on a small task of exploration and surveying, I would have the urge to run away.
However, Tiamat, a dignified god, stationed the kingdom of God in Aphernas, one of the nine layers of hell, and even the Grand Duke of Aphnans, who had been for a period of time, it is almost impossible to say that there is no 'deal' with Asmodeus, the lord of the nine layers of hells.
Considering the identity of the eldest lady in front of him, for fear of putting the pigeon in front of His Royal Highness Graesia, who was 'pulled by his father's strong ding' and didn't seem to have a good temper, he didn't dare to have the slightest snub on his lips and said with a smile on his face:
"I'm really tired of Your Highness."
Although Glesia was silent, David could clearly see from the side that the Devil's Lady continued to devote herself to the production of this cottage floating city.
It looked like a child who had been at home for a long time and got a chance to make a handicraft and was eager to get his father's affirmation.
As the smoke and dust covering the sky dissipated, Viola, the black dragon girl with the best and most curious eyes, suddenly exclaimed:
"What's that?"
The dragons looked at it from afar, and saw a large area of demons with seemingly dull eyes pouring out of the underground fortress of Margossegg, and then seemed to find some long-lost familiarity, and scrambled up from the slope of the cottage floating city.
It was only then that the Devil's Archduchess Grathea slowly turned around, looked at David, and solemnly explained:
"These 30,000 Nethriel's souls have been collected by me from the various levels of Bato's Hell with my authority, and they will be 'resurrected' after they officially enter the shadow plane.
"But you must remember that the vast majority of them died in the destruction of Netherel 1,700 years ago, and fell into the lower planes due to the death of the first Goddess of Magic, and their memories have been washed in the River Styx and squeezed in the frame of despair.
"So, even if I return those 'divine energies' to them temporarily, you don't expect them to have much useful memories and combat power left. They left Hell and, according to the original agreement, went to other planes, just mere mortals.
"Also, these souls are lent to you in my name, so they will be recalled to Bato Hell as soon as they are 'killed' or died, so you don't expect to resurrect them with [Resurrection]."
As he spoke, he threw a thick dictionary-like 'loan agreement' to David:
"That's the main thing, if you understand it, let's sign it on this tripartite agreement."
David flipped the so-called agreement over his claws, and the first thing he saw was the 'astronomical number' that made his eyes black, just as Tiamat had said.
The execution of this mission is purely for him to 'make a wish', and the dragon queen pays the bill, at least he doesn't have to worry about the extravagant expenses this time.
If he really built a floating city from scratch, not to mention the loss of technology, according to the records of some ancient ruins circulating between the planes, the cost of the magic research and development of the [Plocktiv Mountain Peak Movement] used to 'move mountains' like the Devil Archduke did before cost a huge amount of 2.23 million gold coins, and this is only one of the arcane ones.
What made him even more ecstatic was that the 'return of children' on this agreement only included the more than 30,000 Netherel souls, and he didn't know if this wealthy Highness Glesia didn't look down on this 'Bato Red Copper Shell' that could be made casually by using the power of the Devil Grand Duke, or Tiamat directly paid for this material, and this thing didn't even have to be returned!
You must know that according to his plan, it is impossible to directly use the outrageously expensive 'hell engine' the whole time.
If you want to fly, you don't have so many souls to burn him!
Therefore, as soon as you jump into the main plane of Toriel, you will almost immediately have an accident.
If you want to use this floating city in the future, you have to see if you can find the manufacturing method of the [Mither Energy Core] in the Nether ruins of the Annalok Desert, and even if this group of Nether remnants who have 'lost their minds' can't make it, they can still use it and the 'wishing technique' to try if they can find Ti Ma to 'make a wish' again.
Anyway, I've smashed so much on myself, so I shouldn't mind the cost of 'sinking' more, right?
It's just that after the dragon father next to him quickly reviewed this 'devil's contract', he found out the 'cat' in it, and stretched out a paw to point at David:
Sure enough, it was written that the deadline for this mission was over, and this sky-high 'cottage floating city' would belong to him.
But there is one word written in front of it:
After the deed is done.
Gan! What is called after the deed is done.
In other words, if he didn't do it
The agreement did not say that he would pay for the cost of the project.
After all, even if it is a blue star that is placed everywhere in the 'devil of Party A', there is no anti-sky news that the 'surveyor' pays all the project money in a construction accident.
But the problem is that even if you don't have to lose money, it's still very criminal!
Hiss.
At this moment, David seemed to finally know why his mother owed the dragon debt of Tiamat, the five-colored dragon queen.
Where is this devil pact wow!
It's clearly a gambling agreement!
Once he messes up, he has to put his pants in.
The thought of looking back at the picture of his family of four working under Tiamat's claws to pay off their debts suddenly gave David an urge to run away with a bucket again.
Can I not sign it?
Davy looked at the devil's daughter of the Lord of the Nine Prisons opposite with a worried but polite smile.
You tell me?
And the other party seemed to see his contradictory thoughts at this time, and returned a rare 'sincere smile'.
Hey, I can't hide from it.
David sighed in his heart, how could he not know that he was already riding a tiger at this time, or stepping on the two 'tigresses' who couldn't touch her buttocks at the same time.
In order to break the shackles of the 'Dragon Maniac Lock', which was on the entire dragon population, Tiamat even did not hesitate to find the head of the Lord of the Nine Hells.
Now that the dragon love has been used, the money has been spent, and even the floating city has been pinched out.
At this time, the picker said that he would not do it?
Not to mention Tiamat, it is estimated that His Royal Highness Grasia, who was temporarily captured by his own son as a cow and horse for a long time, can directly bury half of their family on the spot with one look
Damn, isn't it just a mark!
Earn a floating city after your blood!
[Greed]
Maybe you can use this 'dragon love' to repay her mother Pavla's debts.
Thinking like this, David immediately closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, pressing his claws on the devil's contract.
Watching David grind for a long time, and finally obediently pressed the paw prints on the contract, blooming scarlet light, Grasia finally nodded with satisfaction, as if this was not in vain the fruits of his hard work for half a day.
At the same time, I vaguely look forward to my father, who can take time out of his busy schedule.
Take a look at her, look at your own masterpiece.
"Well, the contract is done." Gracia said indifferently.
Appearance. Gathering to win? David almost didn't blurt out directly.
"Put the engine on." Grasia waved her hand.
Puff puff! With the sound of the wind, Davy looked up and saw the little devil in the sky let out a terrible cry, carrying a mountain-like 'hell engine' and falling it into the core of the cottage floating city leaning on the slope of Malboji.
At the same time, more Steel Demons carried ten crates of Soul Coins and dumped them into the Soul Engine.
With the hell engine filled with fuel, the already gloomy Floating City suddenly let out a scream like the wailing of thousands of souls, sending out the low roar that David had heard up close similar to the soul train and the flying fortress.
David didn't have time to sigh yet.
Syllable! Glesia raised her hand and snapped her fingers.
"His Highness Grathea." A deep hell purgatory, who actually showed his old state, walked out of the shadow of the devil female archduke at some point, and said respectfully.
"Dalonas, this red dragon has taken a fancy to your talent for designing the Hell Engine, and it is also because of him that you have brought back to light the super-large Hell Engine that has been sealed for thousands of years, and during this time, your crazy talent will belong to him."
"Oh, that's something that excites even the devil."
The old devil named Dalonas didn't smile, and then he turned around and said apologetically to David:
"But I have to say in advance that I'm too old to fight with anyone."
A deep hell purgatory who has lived for at least a thousand years, actually said that he can't fight, and if David believes it, he can just twist his head off and play a game of rolling stones on the slope of Malboji.
But since he is a devil who can make Gracia remember his name, David is not good at holding chicken feathers as an arrow, and he has important things to ask the other party next, so he immediately smiled:
"Of course! Of course! The junior just wants to ask Mr. Dalonas to help us achieve some technical problems, and will never force you to go to the battlefield. Besides, this time, we used soul projection. ”
Before Dalonas could speak, he heard David brazenly say:
"Since you don't have to worry about safety, can you please make a cameo appearance as the city lord of our 'Yin Soul City'?
"After all, you see, I have such a group of guys, and none of them seem to have the old, strong, sinister and ruthless momentum of you."
As soon as he heard David's words, the dragon father and dragon sister beside him immediately bloomed with the pure light of being a silver dragon that was extremely dazzling in Bato's hell, and the red dragons behind him, Lizzlit and Murphyler, also showed a look of 'simple like an idiot'.
“.” The old devil Dalonas has been in hell all his life, and this is the first time he has seen such a group of guys with poor acting skills.
A few hours later, when everything was ready, David and the others took the old devil and lay down in the deep pit dug out by the devil's grand duchess, at the signal of Gracia, and were buried by the rolling stones.
Their bodies will sleep in this inhospitable slope until their consciousness returns from Torreel, the main material plane, from its 'project'.
In the next moment, under the will of the Grand Duke Glesia, the six prison maidens, the 'Ghost City' loaded with the engine of hell rose into the air with the scream of the soul, stepped through a torn door, and stepped into a space full of shadows.
And just as the 'gate' was bridged, all the devils in this cottage 'Yin Soul City' transformed into what they were when they were alive thousands of years ago.
In a memory implanted, he woke up and started the daily life of the shadow plane.
They, after thousands of years of wandering in the shadow plane, will be under the will of the 'City Lord of the Shadow City'.
Return to the primary material plane.
Torrell, the continent of Faeron.
He was tried again. It's been a long time this time.
