The dark castle door slowly opened, and the sound of thick stone slabs rubbing against the ground was sharp and harsh.
Behind the gate, a code-level demon has been waiting for a long time. It is as big as a human, and its body and twisted face are terrifying.
"Master has been waiting for a long time, come with me." This is what the code-level demon said after seeing Esther for the first time.
The devil has no etiquette, it just follows its master's orders dully.
The Batali kind's eyes were alert. The Knower Demon's attitude was very strange. It not only doubted whether the other party knew Esther's identity.
"Why, you're already here, are you still scared?" Esther took in Batali's appearance and smiled.
"Don't dare." It retreated behind Esther. Now it no longer needed to lead the way, and it couldn't walk in front of its master.
Esther glanced at the Batali species and calmly followed the code-level demon into the castle.
The fear of the owner of the castle still exists in Batali's heart. This is the devil's instinct when facing danger. If possible, it would not want to get close to this dark castle. However, there are too many things in life that cannot be controlled by one's own control.
The moment you give your name, it no longer belongs to you.
Now, the Batali species, who once again came to the dark castle, could only lower their heads and follow Esder quietly.
As Esther stepped into the castle, the huge door slowly closed, like a man-eating monster slowly closing its huge mouth after swallowing the food.
There were dark will-o'-the-wisps floating in the long corridor. They hung on both sides of the corridor, illuminating the darkness in the castle. These will-o'-the-wisps were not beautiful, but they had a strange charm.
"Don't look at those bright lights, you will be attracted." Esther reminded Lilina.
Recalling the state of meeting Lestrang before, Lilina also shuddered and quickly withdrew her gaze.
There is never a shortage of weird creatures in the abyss, and the will-o’-wisps floating on both sides are just one of them.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Esther saw a door again in his sight.
The demon in front of him who was responsible for leading the way stopped, turned slightly sideways, moved out of the way, and said to Esther in an awkward voice: "Please come in."
The demon who led the way stayed where he was, and only Esther and his party entered.
"The first true ancestor of the Cappadocia clan, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
A voice accompanied by a terrifying aura echoed in vain.
Lilina, who was lying on Esther's shoulder, turned pale, but with Esider's cold snort, the terrifying aura immediately faded away, and Lilina breathed a sigh of relief.
At the end of the shadow, a huge black figure slowly emerged. It was a skeleton-like body. There seemed to be only a layer of skin covering its body, making it appear extremely thin.
Its huge body and thin appearance bring an extremely weird feeling.
The yellow-black pupils showed that it was different from other demons. At this moment, standing in front of Esther was a law-level demon!
"Are you a knower?" Facing the law-level demon who was much higher than him, Esther had a smile on his face.
"Of course, the True Ancestor can naturally call me that." The law-level demon cracked the corner of his mouth and showed a terrifying smile.
"It seems you know me."
The Knower Demon nodded and said: "In the abyss, your name is naturally known to everyone."
"Really? Then why is this guy still restless after seeing me?" Esther pointed at the Batali species and said.
The Knower Demon glanced at the Batali species with disdain. In its eyes, even if the other party's master was Esther, it was still a dispensable insect.
"It's not qualified."
Esther looked at the other person slightly. Of course, he would not take it for granted that this law-level demon was weak when he saw the thin appearance. Indeed, this very deceptive appearance can confuse many eyes, but it cannot be hidden from Esther.
Sid.
And Esther didn't want to continue on this topic.
"I came all the way here, and you entertained me with a mirror clone. Doesn't it seem a little too shabby?" Esther said with a half-smile.
The Demon of Knowledge lowered his body slightly, and said in a helpless tone: "Demons who have lived to this point like me tend to cherish their lives. I don't want to die here for no reason because of your mood. I want to continue living.
"
Esther sneered, "If you really offend me, you won't survive even if you escape to the bottom of the abyss."
The Knower Demon was slightly startled, and then said: "I have no doubt at all."
Esther was in no mood to continue chatting with this knowing demon. Since the other party knew his identity, there was no need to worry about it being stupid next time.
So Esther asked directly: "Where are the fallen angels? I heard from the Batali species that you should have signed a contract with the fallen angels."
"Yes, but it's a pity that I can't reveal the content of the contract to you." The Knower Demon said. After all, it is still a demon and needs to abide by the contract.
"Even if you don't tell me, I can guess that within the time the contract is in effect, you are not allowed to report my situation back to the demon clan or anything like that." Esther knew what those fallen angels were planning just by thinking about it.
.
They want to gain an advantage in the deal with themselves, at least, they cannot lag behind the demons.
"The true ancestor is wise, I..."
Esther interrupted the other party and said: "No one told you that the devil can't flatter you?"
Hearing what Esther said, the Demon Knower also stopped. There was no embarrassment on his face, but he said: "We really don't understand human communication very well."
"Stop beating around the bush with me, where are the fallen angels?" Esther frowned.
"Or is it that those fallen angels found a demon to negotiate with me?"
The Knower Demon suddenly fell silent. It looked at Esther with an unfathomable attitude.
"Speak." Esther didn't have the patience to play a guessing game with the knowing devil here, and his tone became cold in vain.
"The fallen angel is not here."
Esther narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you mean?"
"I asked her to leave." The Knower Demon replied.
"Reason." Esther said calmly.
"Outside the Killing City, a group of humans are coming here. I don't know their purpose, but they will undoubtedly destroy this negotiation, so I let the fallen angels go to a safer place, while I stayed
In the castle, waiting for your arrival." said the knowing devil.
"Human?"
"Yes, there is a huge number. They are a regular army. They have mastered the technology of using the undercurrent of the abyss. It only takes a day or so to arrive at the Killing City. By then, they will face a battle. I want to be with you and
When fallen angels are discussing, they don’t want anyone to interrupt them.”
