Eight hundred and twentieth chapters come to the abyss again
"I will take a step first to check the situation. You will follow later." One morning in the New Year, Lin said to his companions who were getting ready to go to the abyss.
This trip includes Finn, Halumi, Kaya, the dark elf Mersham, the demon prince Azad, the former commander of the Dark Legion Guards, Rock Stone, and the gray short-haired demon cat Hardy.
I brought Hardy with me because the destination is the enemy territory that the Demon Cat Clan is most familiar with, and Hardy has gone there several times. In any case, he must know it better than someone who is always blind.
Secondly, the demons in that place are the targets of the defense of Demon Moth King Jie Anmos and the Demon Cats. When I go back, I also plan to deal with this group of demons. In order to prove that I have not betrayed the interests of the Demon Moth King and the Demon Cats, in exchange for
Your own convenience in the abyss is a very important thing. Hardy followed up on this to be a witness.
Of the two forces, Lin still tends to establish a more solid relationship with the Demon Moth King. Except for the fact that the remnants of that silk cocoon are still coveted, the relationship with the demon can only be based on profit, and there is no morality at all.
To believe in a demon who will betray you at any time, or who wants to kill you all the time, and to give up on a group of allies who are simple-minded and will not betray as long as they treat each other with sincerity, how stupid do you have to be to make such a choice.
Not to mention anything else, after putting forward the goals and requirements of this trip to Hardy, the gray cat agreed without even thinking about it. He did not consider at all whether he might have deceived it into the abyss as a way to make friends.
A sacrifice to the devil.
Of course, he doesn't intend to do this either; but if someone else makes the same request to him, Lin will definitely consider this possibility. This shows that these cats are naive, or that they believe in themselves too easily.
The items carried include astronomical telescopes, tripods, coffins, and various lenses and filters. The rest are everyone's own weapons and equipment. If you can carry it with you, take it with you; if you can't, use the leftovers from previous clothing productions.
Magic silk, sewn into a furoshiki.
After confirming with his eyes that everyone's preparations were correct, Lin set off first. The flashing technique was activated!
As long as you have been to a place once, whether it is the abyss or hell, someone can come and go as freely as if you were strolling through the back garden. So Lin immediately came to the destination of his trip, the largest top floor of the Demon Lord Sabine Castle.
at the platform.
As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by a huge fireball coming towards us!
Another flash spell moved the fireball thirty feet horizontally, directly smashing a tower not far away. Only then did Lin notice that he had actually arrived on the battlefield. The defensive barrier belonging to the castle was struggling to resist
With various attacks from the outside world.
Occasionally, there are attacks with huge mass or power that penetrate the barrier, or smash into the gathered demon army, or smash a building somewhere. But more often, the demon army standing at a high place is separated from the barrier.
Use the barrier to launch a defensive counterattack against the attacking party below, or fight on the city wall.
Before he could send a message to stop him, Fen had already appeared a few steps behind him with other people and equipment. Although there was no welcome fireball to wash his face, the shouts of killing on the battlefield still frightened a few relatively young guys.
Before Fen had time to ask questions, the local lord, the demon Sabine, had already led his guards to the roof and surrounded them. The demon army in the surrounding battle was also distracted by the sudden appearance of the intruders.
Originally, the surrounding demons did not intend to question the group of uninvited guests, but directly killed the group of uninvited guests. However, the gray cat Hardy jumped from Lin's arms, arched his back, and screamed, allowing Sabine to stop the attack of his subordinates.
The gray short-haired cat with scars and bald spots can be said to be the magic cat that impressed him most recently. And among the humans present, there was also that familiar aura. Sabin said: "Human Magician, you are here again
Yet?"
"It seems that I picked a bad time to visit. Maybe I should go back first and come back another day?" Lin said in a normal tone.
He waved his hand and let his guards leave first to assist the army in defense. When the demons defending on the rooftop saw this, they stopped talking to the visitors because they seemed to be old acquaintances with their lord and had something to say.
Sabine straightened his appearance and tried to show the magnanimity of a noble. The power of the magician in front of him was still fresh in his memory. Now that we meet again, although his appearance is different from last time, his strength seems to be even better.
Upstairs.
However, under the flames of war, there is no demeanor at all, and it is lucky that there are no missing legs or arms. Sabine's behavior only makes people like Fen and Stone who have actually experienced the war feel disapproving.
But the devil’s idea was simply that he didn’t want to be at a disadvantage in front of this human being. He considered himself to be a gentleman and said: “Your Excellency, if you have needs, please tell me now. Next time you visit again, maybe the lord here
It’s not me anymore.”
"Replacement of lords?" Lin accurately captured the meaning of the demon's words. He pointed with his thumb at the attacking demon army outside the castle and asked: "Are they those unfriendly visitors? You have failed as a demon.
That’s what led to this kind of retribution.”
"What a pity. Their unfriendly visit is all thanks to you. The injuries you left on me have made me so weak that not only my subordinates, but also the demon commanders outside have coveted my position. So.
How should I treat your visit?" Sabine said, his ferocious expression fleeting. After returning to his normal expression, he continued: "If you have nothing else to do, please
Leave. I accidentally hurt you and your friends, which is not what I want to see."
Although he said it politely, the demon lord's idea was actually very simple. He didn't want to create another opponent that he would find difficult to deal with at this critical moment. Sending the opponent away with words was the most cost-effective behavior.
But how could Lin let go of this opportunity? He said with a smile: "I won't hide it from the lord, I came back here hoping to borrow a place to set up some equipment so that I can conduct stargazing operations in the abyss. The place doesn't have to be too big.
Mostly just set up a tent or a small room with some bookshelves and desks. I like the roof terrace of this castle, so I plan to come to you to discuss it. But since there are other people vying to be the owner of this castle, maybe I should
Wait for the dispute between you to come to an end and discuss this matter with the future owner of the castle. However, I also don’t mind supporting the party that allows me to conduct stargazing operations and has no other conditions to become the owner of this castle. What do you think?"
Sabin was also able to grasp the meaning of this human magician. The pros and cons were only reflected in his mind. He said with the same bright smile: "I can agree to this small matter here. Your Excellency, He Lao, go and talk to the outside world again."
discuss with the little devil. Besides, if you want to make a contract with a devil, who will pay for it with your soul? But with your friendship with me, this kind of trivial matter can be saved. My castle is your castle, and my servants are also yours.
Servant. There will be no more hospitable friend than me in the abyss. You see, my friend across the passage and I—"
Sabine clicked on the ground, wary of the puzzled gray cat Hardy.
"——We have been in peace and quiet for such a long time. However, there are many bellicose little demons who are clamoring all day long to fight to the other side and to seize the flesh, blood and soul of living creatures. Most of these little demons have been killed by me.
It was suppressed so that a full-scale war did not break out. If it were other demons, I don't know whether they would be as friendly as me. You don't think that a few cats can stop the demon army."
Take the demon moth king and the demon cat clan as an example. However, this threat is not painful to someone. Even if the other person's words are somewhat true, there is no need to care. The demon in front of you is just
If you want to wake others up, it’s just about how many chips you still have.
"Then the lord agrees to allow me to borrow a small area of the castle." Lin confirmed again.
Rubbing his chest and saluting, Sabin said: "Abiding by the contract to the letter is the character of a devil. Hospitality and welcoming friends warmly are my characteristics, Sabin. As long as the devils outside don't come to cause trouble, the castle will still be with me.
It is under your control, so how to use this castle is entirely up to you. Your wish will be my wish. All the demons up and down this castle will understand this matter."
In fact, what can really restrain the devil is the contract written in the abyss. Because it has his real name on it, and the testimony of the will of the abyss, this makes it possible to say that "the devil will abide by the contract". But if you say it with your mouth
If you can, just blow if you can, and bluff if you can.
For Sabine now, pulling the magician in front of him into his camp is a matter of great benefit and no harm. At least it can be used as a shield to resist the opponent's offensive, so all kinds of promises are free of charge.
He agreed haphazardly.
If the other party is still as strong as in the past, then it doesn't matter if he agrees to his request. Anyway, it seems now that this human magician's request is really a trivial matter to a demon lord. If the other party is injured in the battle, it will be even more
It's perfect. All the old and new grudges are settled together, and you don't have to pay any price, so why not do it.
"Okay, I'll take it as your agreement. Please remember one thing. If you regret it later, the consequences will be serious."
After finishing speaking, Lin returned to his companions. But the others were puzzled as to why the man in front of them wanted to negotiate terms with a demon whose territory was about to be lost. Especially now that it sounded like he had to help someone.
The demons sacrificed their lives. Although they were also killing demons, it still made them a little unhappy.
However, no one said any complaints or objections. They put the large non-combat equipment aside and walked towards the edge of the roof terrace to watch the fighting everywhere.
