Chapter 1690 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada

The scarlet skull has an Akagi look, and combined with its previous respectful and polite attitude, it looks like it is the most loyal subordinate of the three kings.

But the three kings sitting on the throne either didn't care at all about what the scarlet skull said, or they were disdainful from the bottom of their hearts, or they closed their eyes to rest. In short, no one wanted to believe the scarlet skull in front of them.

They clearly knew what kind of existence the guy in front of them was.

Tell no lies.

The viciousness in their hearts is several times more ferocious than the most cruel monsters under their command.

After a few seconds, a sneer came from the throne on the right.

"With bad intentions?"

The laughter was full of sarcasm.

Naturally, such ridicule was not directed at Victor, but at the Red Skull.

Facing such laughter, the scarlet skull looked calm.

It bowed again.

"Your Majesty, I can guarantee that he really has bad intentions."

"He came to provoke a war between us and the outside world."

"If you are not careful, the city will be destroyed!"

The scarlet skull said.

"Huancheng is never afraid of war!"

"Blood donation is the foundation of the city!"

"The bones are the walls surrounding the city!"

"And the dead souls?"

“It’s the most delicious snack!”

The voice still came from the throne on the right, but compared with the sneer before, this time the voice from the throne was full of bloodthirsty killing.

Moreover, along with this sound, a little breath spread from the throne on the right.

Suddenly, the entire hall was filled with the stench of blood, as if tons of corrupted blood had been poured into it.

The soul fire in the red skull's eye sockets pulsed slightly.

It returned to normal immediately.

"certainly!"

"We are never afraid of war!"

The Scarlet Skull suppressed the trembling in his heart and said obediently.

It hates this feeling very much.

But there was nothing we could do.

It's not a suppression of strength, it's just because the original 'contract' was not with the three kings in front of him, but with the... benevolent king.

Although the three kings in front of them are not Niohs, the 'contract' between the three kings and the Nioh can still affect the 'contract' between them and the Nioh. Thinking of the stupid behavior of the Nioh back then, the Scarlet Skull sneered in his heart, but On the surface, it became more and more respectful. It said: "We who are not afraid of war are powerful and invincible. However, this does not mean that we can be used as guns. This will not only make us laugh at others, but also Let me suffer unnecessary losses.”

"more importantly……"

"It will damage the reputation of our three majesties!"

"So, I don't think we should agree to him!"

After the words fell, the scarlet skull bowed and saluted again.

"Are you teaching us how to do it?"

The voice from the throne on the right was filled with dissatisfaction.

Immediately, the scarlet skull, which was about to straighten up, bent down again.

"How can I teach Your Majesty what to do!"

"I'm just suggesting!"

"A humble suggestion from the heart!"

The scarlet skull said in fear.

"you this……"

"alright."

"Where is Victor?"

The voice from the throne on the right just sounded, and was interrupted by the voice from the throne in the middle.

Different from the manic and mean voice on the right, the voice from the throne in the middle is very soft and pleasant.

"He's washing up and changing clothes."

"Your Majesty, you know that he swam from the Stinky River."

The red skull said slightly embarrassed.

After hearing the word "stinking water river", the figure on the throne in the middle who had just spoken leaned back unnaturally.

Not only the king on the middle throne, but also the kings on the left and right.

The king on the throne on the right even yelled.

"asshole!"

"You must make him clean!"

"If it stains my carpet, I'll hang you and him on the wall to dry!"

Obviously, the power of the Stinky River is infinite.

Even the three kings surrounding the city have to avoid the edge for the time being.

After all, no one can live with a septic tank.

Because if you really fight with a septic tank, no matter who wins, they will be covered in feces.

"I'll give him a good wash three times."

After the scarlet skull finished speaking, he saluted again and then left the hall.

The moment he left the hall, the soul fire in the red skull's eyes beat again.

all the best!

It's much easier than imagined.

After a hundred years of getting along with each other, it already knew how to deal with the three kings in the ring city.

Blind compliance is not an option.

A little bit of the opposite approach often yields miraculous results.

Of course, you must control the degree.

Otherwise, it will only be counterproductive.

You know, compared with the bad-tempered and very easy to figure out the King.

It is even more afraid of the soft-spoken King Wren.

As for the King Qi who rarely speaks?

The other party is completely invisible to it.

If the other party is not sitting there every time, it will almost think that the other party does not exist at all.

There is no doubt that it is also the enemy!

When he thought that he had to face such three enemies, the red skull's soul fire began to beat rapidly.

However, immediately, it returned to normal.

Because it has found an ally.

An ally who harbors evil intentions and is not very reliable.

but!

It’s enough to be useful!

Thinking of this, the Red Skull couldn't help but quicken its pace. When it returned to the guest room, Victor had already finished washing.

"I suggest you spray some...well, by the way, it's perfume."

"Is that what your people call you?"

The scarlet skull said.

"Compared with perfume, I want to know more, how often will the three majesties see me?"

Victor asked.

"Wait until you spray the perfume!"

As the scarlet skull said this, he stretched out his hand that had been hidden in his sleeve and made a good-for-nothing gesture to Victor.

Victor was not surprised to see this gesture.

The reason why he chose the other party to be his ally was because the other party had the ability to complete its plan.

He knew far more than the other party imagined.

"Do you think I looked like I was carrying something when I came out of there?"

Victor asked rhetorically.

"of course not."

"The only robe you have is the one I gave you."

"So, I prepared something else for you."

As he spoke, the scarlet skull took out a small glass bottle from his tattered sleeve, which contained some black liquid. However, after uncorking the bottle, the smell of grass and earth wafted out.

The smell is very light, you can't smell it at all unless you smell it carefully.

But he has excellent cover-up capabilities.

At least, when such a smell appears, the stinky smell in the room disappears instantly.

"This is the essence that I collect from the grass seeds on the ground, grind them and refine them."

"I usually only use it during celebrations around the city."

The scarlet skull introduced.

Without saying a word, Victor took the small bottle and poured half of the bottle on himself.

The Scarlet Skull looked at this scene with satisfaction.

Both sides are smart people.

Naturally, I know some things that don’t need to be said.

Contracts are always the foundation.

Some necessary means are the prerequisite for further cooperation.

The essence extracted from grass seeds is naturally real.

However, it has something special added to it.

Nothing in a short period of time.

If it is not neutralized with another thing for a long time, then it will just wait to rot.

"plz follow me."

"Remember everything I told you."

"When you meet your three majesties, you must remain respectful."

Scarlet Skull reminded.

Victor nodded.

However, when he followed the scarlet skull into the King's Hall, looking at the three kings sitting in the shadows, Victor stood upright without any intention of saluting.

The Scarlet Skull raised his hand and quietly pulled Victor's shirt.

However, Victor not only ignored it, but also took a step forward.

Suddenly, the soul fire in the scarlet skull's eyes began to beat rapidly.

Just when it was about to take further measures, the King of Pigs on the throne on the right spoke.

"snort!"

"Ignorant mortal!"

"Would you like to show your honor by doing this?"

"You know what happened to the last guy who did this?"

The cold snort echoed in the hall like muffled thunder.

The threatening words were accompanied by the aura belonging to the Wolf King, pressing down on Victor like a real mountain.

Faced with such momentum, Victor's face turned pale.

However, he did not retreat or bend down.

He tried to straighten his body.

"Did you hang him on the city wall to dry?"

he asked rhetorically.

"you know?"

King Hu was startled.

"I entered through the city gate and entered here. Those on your city walls are very conspicuous."

Victor said calmly.

"Don't worry, you will become one of them soon."

King Xiu obviously felt that he had been teased, and immediately slapped the armrest of the seat angrily.

Immediately, several translucent evil spirits emerged from the floor of the hall and grabbed Victor.

The icy cold feeling spread throughout the body.

Victor looked at all this calmly, as if he was not the one who was caught.

Just when he was about to be pulled out of the hall, the voice from the throne in the middle rang.

"etc!"

In the gentle and melodious voice, the evil spirit dispersed, and Victor came back again.

However, this time, it was different from before.

Victor bowed respectfully to the throne in the middle.

"I have met His Majesty."

Victor said this.

"I don't like people who are clever."

"The reason why I asked you to come back is because I am curious about why you came here."

"If you give me a satisfactory answer, then I will spare you."

"If you can't..."

"I won't hang you on the city wall to dry, I will drown you in the smelly river."

The sweet voice was still gentle, but the content of the words made people shudder.

Victor smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty, do you want to get out of here?"

He opened his mouth and asked.

A seemingly ordinary sentence made the atmosphere on the throne change.

Not only the Wren King on the throne in the middle, but also the Wren King on the throne on the right and the King Qi who never spoke. The shadows around him seemed to be affected by these three figures and began to gather above Victor's head. , like dark clouds covering the sky, making people breathless, and then, there were sounds comparable to thunder, echoing in the hall——

"what do you know?"

"Scarlet, is this the secret you revealed?"

"Deserves to be killed!"

The first sentence is from the Wren King.

The second sentence is about the King of Pigs. As he speaks, an evil aura envelopes the Scarlet Skull.

The third game was King Qi. As soon as he finished speaking, the entire hall became ice-cold, as if he had fallen into an ice hell!

This is not an illusion!

Victor could clearly see his breath.

And the scarlet skull?

Although it knew that Victor would use some special methods to persuade the three kings, it did not expect it to be so special. It cursed Victor a few times in its heart, but the trembling from the 'contract' made it have to bow and salute.

"I have never revealed anything about your three majesties!"

"I am willing to swear!"

Scarlet Skull said.

"It's none of its business."

"I did some research on this place before entering here."

Victor said.

"investigation?!"

"You are lying!"

"There is no way Ring City will be investigated!"

The King of Pigs laughed ferociously.

"That's a normal situation!"

"if……"

"Am I using the Philosopher's Stone?"

Victor said with an unchanging smile.

Philosopher's Stone? !

The three kings were stunned.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly dissipated.

In the hall where calm was restored again, the three kings looked at each other in the shadows.

They have also heard about the name of the Philosopher's Stone, especially the various magical properties of the Philosopher's Stone.

If it really is the Philosopher's Stone...

It's very possible for them to escape from here!

Get out of this prison!

There was an urgency in my heart, but King Wren didn't speak in a hurry.

The Wren King glanced at the Wren King.

Immediately, King Xiu, who understood deeply, said directly.

"so what?"

"Are you using the Philosopher's Stone to spy on us just to trick us into killing your enemies for you?"

"of course not!"

"That's our common enemy!"

"Because the Philosopher's Stone is in their hands!"

Victor corrected King Ruo's words. He didn't wait for the other party to speak, and continued: "In fact, all this is my plan. I accidentally got a fragment of the Philosopher's Stone, and through this fragment , I determined that the core of the Philosopher's Stone was among that group of people, but under normal circumstances, I could not get this core at all. Therefore, I proposed this 'Winter Night War', and, I hope to get With the help of your three majesties.”

"I need that core so much!"

"Only with that core can I find a way to resurrect my wife."

"certainly!"

"Resurrecting a mortal will not consume too much of the core. It is enough for three His Majesty to get out of trouble."

"I can guarantee everything I say."

"I'm willing to sign the contract."

After Victor finished speaking, he bowed respectfully again.

The three kings did not speak, and a contract flew in front of Victor out of thin air.

Victor glanced at it, bit his finger, and signed his name.

After the contract was signed, the atmosphere in the hall immediately eased, and even the King of Dogs put away their hostility.

The contract was established.

It's enough to prove that Victor didn't lie.

The thing about the Philosopher's Stone is real.

So……

This is their hope!

"Tell us, what are you going to do?"

King Wren asked.

"I need these humans and weirdos who are coming to welcome their younger generations to have special discoveries - not too expensive, but enough to make them excited."

Victor said.

The three kings looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

"good!"

A promise.

The entire royal city immediately started to move.

Precious props and boxes of money were moved out of the treasure house.

The guards from the royal city were guarding the surrounding area.

They are waiting for the time to set off.

Daylight affects them too much.

Night is the best time.

While waiting quietly, these guards didn't notice at all. Under the ground, there was a pair of eyes watching all this with shining eyes.
