Chapter 163 Selling the Future to the Devil
Klein: "."
Come again? Am I going to die again?
Is it over yet?
He cut off spiritual contact with the devil and carefully thought about everything that happened during the time he came to Backlund.
The biggest crisis came from the ambassador of Intis, but he had used secret means to make the other party die of assassination, and the means sent by the other party, the Sequence 5 Secret Puppet Master, also died from the ravings of Miss Wraith and the True Creator.
Among.
What else?
The hidden danger in Tingen City? The sealed object numbered 0-08?
However, I have a new identity now, and those hidden dangers should have been cut off with my previous death.
Klein has never doubted that the devil is lying. He is convinced that for people at that level, lying to force oneself does not make any sense.
"Fortunately, it only predicted my own death, not the people around me. I don't have many people around me anymore."
Klein gave a sad and bitter smile, sat on the high-backed stool, revealed a piece of paper, and then revealed a line of words.
"The source of the danger I face."
Reciting it silently seven times in his mind, he closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair.
This is dream divination, which allows the diviner to see some pictures.
But the picture did not appear. Klein just heard a voice, a middle-aged man, with a somewhat domineering tone.
"The person I want to kill is a detective, his name is——"
"Sherlock Moriarty."
The sound stopped suddenly, and Klein suddenly opened his eyes.
There is too little information that can be used for divination, and spiritual divination can only get this little sound.
"The other party came for my pseudonym, which means that it is indeed not a hidden danger caused by the incident in Tingen City."
He carefully speculated on the content of the words he heard in the dream divination: "So, I will encounter an assassination?"
"Who did I offend?"
He tried again to divine the source of the sound, but the divination failed.
"I am also protected by Miss Wraith Soul. She is a Sequence 5 Transcendent. Even so, the foreshadowing of danger is still so strong that the devil even threatened that I would die."
"Could the person who came to assassinate me be a demigod?"
Klein's spine went cold. He was silent for a moment to calm down, and then continued his analysis: "It's unlikely. The existence of a demigod will not come to assassinate me. It should be a very powerful Sequence 5, such as Mr. A.
Such a shepherd."
"What Ms. Wraith is good at is not protection. This can also be seen in the previous battle with the secret puppet master."
"In other words, with what I currently have at my disposal, I'm afraid it will be difficult to face this unknown assassination."
Klein stood up and walked to the crimson star belonging to the devil.
"Do you want to make a deal with the devil in exchange for his protection?"
"No, the devil will definitely make very excessive demands. This has been proven before. Although he claims to be fair, he always puts forward the price himself, and it is often not money. I may not be able to meet his demands."
"Exchange some information to increase the chance of survival. Then we can think of a way. If it doesn't work, ask Mr. Azik for help. I don't know if he is in Backlund now, and I haven't told him about my resurrection from the dead.
”
He gritted his teeth and spiritually touched the crimson stars.
Darkness filled the air, followed by the devil's malicious laughter: "Long time no see, Mr. Fool."
"I want to know the information about your prophecy. What price will it cost?" Klein asked straight to the point, not interested in chatting with the devil.
"How about one-fifth of your soul?" The devil's voice reached Klein's ears: "Don't worry, I won't take it away for the time being, I'm just keeping accounts."
"I will not trade my soul, nor will I trade my body and abilities." Klein said solemnly: "This is not fair to me. You know, death is not a price I cannot bear."<
/p>
"The prices I offer are all fair." The devil chuckled and said, "Then, what are you willing to pay? In other words, Mr. Fool, what else do you have besides what you just said?
Is it something I can appreciate?"
Klein: "."
Feel the pressure from poverty.
"I still have knowledge." Klein said: "I can trade many potion formulas with you, including the formulas and rituals of the main materials of Sequence 4."
"Even. Hehe." The devil picked out a word and laughed sarcastically.
Klein couldn't help but tighten his fists.
Indeed, for a being at the level of a devil, the Sequence 4 potion formula is not considered high-end at all.
"Your knowledge is clearly priced, Mr. Fool." The devil said: "If you want to sell it, I can trade with you at any time, but that will not exchange for my information and help."
That's true.
The devil doesn't care about that knowledge at all. If he takes the initiative to request the other party, the price paid must be the part of the soul or body that the devil is interested in.
Klein suddenly remembered the information that Miss Justice mentioned before. The man named Mr. Reed, who was suspected of being able to make a deal with the devil, made a deal with the devil during a certain crisis for the opportunity for the devil's favored ones to take action. Although it was only
It only takes three seconds, but how can an ordinary person pay for such chips?
Moreover, according to Audrey, Mr. Reid has no signs of losing his lifespan or losing his soul.
So, Klein said: "What if I ask your favored one for help like Mr. Reed did? What price should I pay?"
Klein does not hide his knowledge of Mr. Reed's existence. After all, all his actions are under the devil's gaze, including Miss Justice's words at the Tarot Club.
"You want to know what he paid, right?" The devil said happily: "I can't tell you, that's the client's secret. The only thing I can tell you is that it's very expensive."

"You are neither willing to sell your soul nor your body, so are you willing to sell your future?"
"The future?" Klein was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"
"My trading methods can be very flexible, Mr. Fool." The devil said with a bewitching tone: "Of course, just for you, based on what I want from you, I am willing to give you some privileges."
"Flexible." Klein was silent for a moment: "What exactly do you want?"
"The magician's potion ingredients, Mr. Fool." The devil spoke slowly.
"I don't have this thing." Klein said calmly: "I just got the magician's potion formula tonight."
"You will." The devil said: "To be precise, you will entrust the Hanged Man to obtain all the spinal fluid of the evil-striped black panther, and entrust the sun to obtain the true rhizome of the misty tree man, and then on October 10th, you will
On that day, you will get all the ingredients for the magician's potion."
A chill ran down Klein's spine, not only because the other party detailed the time and behavior of his future scene, but also because he finally understood what the devil was saying.
Trading the future.
The magician's potion has no meaning to the devil, but it is of great significance to himself, because the materials of Sequence 7 are quite rare and are not so easy to collect.
If you trade the magician's potion to the devil, your promotion will most likely be greatly delayed.
Is this the purpose of the devil? To delay his own growth? But isn't his purpose just to wait until he grows up enough to control the gray fog before he attacks the gray fog?
No, maybe the devil isn't ready either.
The corners of Klein's mouth raised slightly: "Mr. Devil, are you afraid that I will grow up too fast?"
"I have never concealed my attitude, right?" The devil was unexpectedly frank: "Mr. Fool, the day when I capture the gray mist will eventually come. Before that, I don't mind making the story more twists and turns."
"I think this will be a fair price that both you and I can accept."
"What can I get in exchange?" Klein asked directly.
"Ten seconds." The devil said: "I think this time is enough if you don't waste it."
Klein fell into deep thought.
According to the current information, the devil's favored one is a giant dragon, a giant dragon that can instantly kill a Sequence 6 demon. In other words, the opponent's level is very likely to be above that of a demigod.
A mere Sequence 7 potion material can be exchanged for the help of a demigod, which is definitely a sure profit. And if you can get one copy of those materials, you can get a second copy, but it will take more time.
No matter how you look at it, this deal is not bad.
But
Klein reminded himself in his heart that he must not follow the devil's ideas. Those bright and attractive fruits are full of sinister traps.
"Since my future can be a bargaining chip in a transaction, that means I can propose this deal to you at any time, right?" Klein said.
"Only before you become a magician." The devil said: "Moreover, the value of the future is not static. I must remind you that the price I want is the future, not a bottle of magic potion."
"It's easy to understand." Klein nodded: "Then, let's talk about other transactions."
"I want to sell some potion recipes."
The devil said slowly: "It seems that you want to keep the price tag about your future."
"I must remind you that death is approaching."
"If it gets to that point, I can contact you at any time, right?" Klein said: "Now, I think I might be able to struggle on my own."
He raised his head slightly, his black pupils staring straight into the darkness in front of him.
The devil in the darkness must have hidden a lot of malice in the transaction, trying to control and use himself, but if you think about it from another angle, why can't you use the other party?
The essence of that malicious transaction, if you think about it from another angle, isn't it an opportunity to summon demigods to take action at a critical moment?
"This time, the potion recipes I want to sell will be the Witch of Joy, the Priest of Light, the Magician, the Mind Reader and the Faceless Man."
"Make a price, Mr. Devil."
