Chapter 11: The Man Who Fools the Devil
In the luxurious carriage, Wright crossed his legs and lay on velvet cushions, occupying most of the carriage.
Coupled with the wooden table and tea set, Emily could only curl up in the corner.
Escorted by the Black Horsemen, they had left the Duchy of St. Grant and headed for the holiest capital of the Church of Light.
Because the triennial Day of Advent is approaching, there is no shortage of pilgrims from all over the mainland to the Holy Capital.
At least along the way, Wright and his party encountered several batches.
The conspicuous dress of the punishment black rider has attracted a lot of attention. But what really shines is definitely this luxury carriage in the middle of the line.
After all, it was the first time that the punishment black cavalry escorted prisoners and prisoner cars on weekdays, and it was the first time that they had done it to serve as a guard.
"Your Highness!"
The knight's voice came from outside the carriage: "There is the Linsheng Sentinel Tower in front, should we resupply it in the nearby Linta Town?" ”
"No need to ......"
"Yes!"
Emily almost seemed to cry out, "My legs are numb!" Also, I'm going to ...... I want to make it easier! ”
Wright sighed helplessly: "Okay, then take a little rest and replenish supplies by the way." ”
The chief knight hurriedly gestured to the team, signaling the team to move into the town of Linta.
The Holy Light Church has no territory, and the only place they can claim territory is probably the Holy Capital, the largest city in the world.
In order to prevent some unnecessary conflicts, the various national forces around the Holy Capital have consciously set aside a part of the land as a buffer zone for themselves to go to the Holy Capital, so that pilgrims of different countries and ethnic groups can stop and rest here.
Over time, these buffer zones were connected to form a large ring around the Holy Capital, known as the Sacred Zone.
Because the border of the Linsheng District is not a national border, there is no so-called border fortress. In their place, there are towering watchtowers.
Most pilgrims use the watchtower as their first target point, where they gather to rest and resupply. As a result, small towns around the watchtower gradually formed.
The three-year Advent ceremony is the most lively and prosperous day in these Linta towns.
At such times, the town is overcrowded, and when it is late, you can only camp outside.
But the punishment of the black horsemen naturally did not care about this, and everywhere they passed, whether it was a devout believer or an opportunistic businessman, they all knelt on the ground.
The holy guards stationed in the guard tower were also sincerely afraid, and knelt in front of the tower early to wait for the review.
"You're the captain of the escort here?"
"Yes, sir! William, the villain, is at your service. ”
The chief knight bowed slightly: "I am Celtes, the fourth rank knight of the Inquisition's Punishment Legion, and I am on a top-secret mission of Archbishop St. Punishment Elson in Black.
Now, in the name of the Inquisition, temporarily requisition your camp, and all the Holy Guards, including you.
Is there a problem? ”
"It is a great honor for us to serve the Inquisition!"
"Good. Now the first order is to completely empty the camp within ten meters of it, and no one is allowed to approach. And form patrols and patrol at the twenty-four prayers! ”
"Forget it."
Wright had already jumped out of the car at this time and waved his hand at the two: "The town is so big, do you want to drive everyone out?"
I'm not unsightly, so let them see it if I want to. ”
"But Your Highness, the security issue ......"
"Can you stop me if it threatens my safety? Just find a place to set up camp and get some rest. ”
"Yes!"
Emily also stepped out of the carriage at this moment, rubbing her numb legs.
She has also been pampered since she was a child, she has not suffered much, and she is a weak magician.
When the Earl of Lawrence saw her off, he prepared for her the most luxurious, sturdy, and comfortable carriage, which Wright enjoyed.
And the most difficult thing for her to accept was that he actually let the succubus possess her.
Although it is said to protect himself, it always feels strange to have an extra person in his body.
After a brief rest, Emily had little time to spare, so she wandered around the camp.
Looking at the bustling flow of people outside the camp and the pilgrims in different costumes, I couldn't help but feel very novel. But this was followed by a strong sense of homesickness.
"Homesick? And no wonder, after all, it's your first time away from home. ”
Emily subconsciously shuddered, she was still not used to the voice of another person suddenly appearing in her head after so long.
"Lilith, can you say hello before you speak next time?"
"Hee-hee-hee, no. People are demons, do you still expect me to be caring? ”
"Speaking of which, I want to ask you, why are you, as a demon, doing your bidding to that Wright guy? Although he is more demonic than a demon, he is still a paladin at heart. ”
Lilith chuckled twice, "That's interesting." It was a few years ago when Wright suddenly appeared in the field of vision of the demon god of hell.
He sells his soul to the demon gods of various hell planes in the form of soul contracts.
At that time, those demon gods didn't think much about it, after all, selling souls to demons was simply the daily life of hell. ”
"Wait! He is only one person, how did he sign so many soul contracts? ”
Lilith sighed: "Then I don't know, I asked him too, and he said he found a loophole in the contract."
Although he didn't know the principle, he did sell his soul many times.
As a result, if he died, the ownership of his soul would be a mystery.
Originally, this matter was not a big deal, after all, it is a person's soul in the end. Its value in hell is similar to a few copper pesos.
But then, he did something that even the demon god couldn't tolerate, causing his soul value to rise all the way in hell.
There are three Demon God Kings who openly claim ownership of his soul, two Demon God Emperors have built a Paradise Lost for him, and countless Demon God Kings are extremely resentful, saying that they must torture his soul well.
He hasn't died yet, and Hell has waged at least four wars because of the question of his soul, with countless casualties and ......"
Emily shuddered, "What did he do?" ”
"Hmm...... This includes, but is not limited to, summoning two demon gods with the power of a contract and asking them to fight each other, which Wright calls the Hell Cricket.
He also broadcast live to Hell through the circle, and instigated some demon gods to open a handicap to bet on who wins and who loses.
Also, in order to cope with the daily tasks of the Church of Light, summon demons to be sent to the Inquisition.
Summon common demons, make them blow up their weaknesses, and then organize them into books and turn them in to the church, and swipe various quest rewards.
And, because it's too boring, summon a succubus to come out and ask the other party to sing and dance to relieve boredom.
Because he had no money to spend, he summoned a group of demons to work as coolies and became a contractor to steal his wages.
He summoned the Hellhound and told him to find his other pair of socks.
He summoned the Infernal Flame Demon and made him lie on the ground as a barbecue......
There are also some that are so lacking in virtue that I can't even say. ”
Emily's eyelids jumped, how lacking in virtue would it take for the demon to not even mention it?
"And how did you get to him?"
"This ......"
At this moment, the chief knight came to Emily's side: "Miss Emily, Your Highness asked you to come over. ”
Lilith laughed: "That's right, you can ask him for the rest and see what he says." ”
