Chapter 41 The Origin of the Demon King

"You're not going to use some skeleton to fool us again, are you?" This time it was still the woman wearing the strange equipment who spoke. Now I am 90% sure that she is the real Demon King of Hargros. (Full text novels are updated the fastest)

Although I do still have a platinum skeleton on me, these three people have such a high level of vision that I have no intention of fooling them with skeletons anymore. Skeletons were used before because almost all the wizards here are country bumpkins, and they wouldn't recognize anything a little more advanced, so they used skeletons. But things are different now. Since the Great Demon King Hargros and her two men are knowledgeable and powerful beings, they must be treated like normal people. Therefore, skeletons will definitely not work. Of course, it would be different if I had taken the black skeleton before. The platinum skeleton on my head alone is obviously not enough.

"Of course I know that the skeletons are a little low-level, but compared to the situation here, the Great Demon King Hagrolos also knows that you can't sell slightly higher-end things. However, I know that the Great Demon King Hagrolos is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Financial guy, so I wouldn’t mind doing a real deal.”

"Then what do you want to trade?" This time it was the fake Great Demon King of Hargros who spoke, and the two women next to him did not speak.

I looked at him and said, "Actually, I don't know exactly what I am trading with you, because I have a lot of things in my hands, and I hope you can tell me what you are missing."

"What a loud tone." The fake devil said in a threatening tone: "Can you help us get the godhead if we want it?"

"Of course. As long as you can afford the price." Without letting the other party's plan succeed, I immediately agreed to the deal.

My behavior of playing cards out of order obviously disrupted the opponent's thinking. The fake devil was stunned for a long time without replying. On the contrary, the possible real devil reacted after a long time and asked: "You are not Are you kidding us?"

"Do I look like I'm kidding?"

My rhetorical question directly blocked the other party's words in Chapter 41: The Origin of the Demon King, and then the room fell into silence again. After a while, I saw that they couldn't react for a while, so I simply said: "Although you don't know me, my reputation outside is very good. As long as I accept the business, I will definitely do it." Yes. However, I take the transaction itself very seriously. If you are sure that you want to place an order to purchase the Godhead, I will help you get it. But if I bring something back and don’t see a reasonable price, I don’t think you will be willing to do the consequences. have witnessed."

After being stunned for a long time, the fake devil suddenly stood up with a slap on the armrest, and yelled at me at the same time: "Arrogant! Are you threatening us?"

"The entourage should be a bit of a follower, and be honest and stay aside. For such a big business, I think it is more appropriate to let the bosses negotiate it themselves." As I said this, I turned to the woman who was suspected of being the Great Demon King of Hagros and asked: "What do you think? The Great Demon King Hargros."

The fake devil over there and the female mage next to him were both stunned, but the real devil didn't react much. After hesitating for two seconds, she stood up decisively. Then he solemnly saluted me and said at the same time: "Let me introduce you again. I am the Great Demon King Hagroth Hobbit. You can call me the Great Demon King Hargros."

"It's an honor to meet you, the respected Great Demon King Hargros." I said and stood up and began to return the salute. After that, our relationship obviously became much more harmonious, because we just saluted using the dark Temple Rites. It is obvious that the Great Demon King Hargros is not a native of this place. At least she was once a member of the Black Temple and was proud of it. Otherwise, she would not still use the understanding of the Dark Temple to greet others after leaving the Dark Temple. As for my return of the gift, it also shows that I have an unusual relationship with the Dark Temple. Otherwise, most people wouldn't understand this strange etiquette that doesn't involve much checking of passwords.

"I'm sorry before." The fake demon king also saluted me at this time, and then introduced himself: "I am Roswell Hubble, the captain of the demon king's bodyguard."

"Hello, I am Clydia Donovan, the first attendant of the Great Demon King." The female mage introduced herself.

I returned the favor to both of them in turn, and then we officially started negotiating. The previous probing was obviously unnecessary after everyone identified themselves, and it was easier to talk this way.

"Obviously, your strength is very strong, and you may not even be inferior to me." The Great Demon King Hagros asked very seriously: "But, I really want to know what attracts a strong man like you to appear here. What about here?"

"Don't worry, I came here just because I accidentally learned that there is a pastry chef here who can make desserts with magical effects. I think this profession will be of great help to my guild, so I hope to invite This pastry chef joins our guild. No matter what, we must at least establish a stable supply and marketing relationship to ensure that our guild can purchase large quantities of the magic desserts from this pastry chef."

"That's it." The three of them seemed to know the existence of the pastry chef, and they breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"What? You are familiar with that pastry chef?"

The former fake devil, the Roswell Guard Chief, said aloud: "It can't be considered very familiar, it's just..." At this point, the Roswell Guard Chief paused obviously, and his eyes unconsciously drifted towards the two of them. Miss.

Attendant Clydia said with some embarrassment: "Actually, the Big Demon King and I both like desserts, so... you know, it's not convenient for the two of us to wander around outside all day long, so we asked Roswell for help. If you buy it, it will become ripe the more times you use it.”

"Even you guys like it, it should taste good. But... you won't stop me from poaching the pastry chef just because I'll have no candy to eat, right?"

"No, no, no, we haven't reached that point yet." Attendant Clydia quickly explained.

I interrupted her explanation with a smile and said, "It's just a joke. Besides, they may not come with me. Maybe I will have to come here often to buy desserts in the future." After saying this, I talked to them. After smiling, I asked casually: "By the way. When we met before, you all used the etiquette of the Dark Temple. But I have never seen you in the Dark Temple before. I don't know..."

At this point, the smiles of the three people suddenly disappeared. After a short silence, the Great Demon King Hargros finally spoke: "Speaking of it, we should actually be considered subordinates of the Dark Temple, but now... maybe we should be considered an independent force."

"Eh? Why is this?"

"Have you ever heard of the name Hohenheim?" Before, because the Great Demon King Hargros didn't speak, the two followers didn't dare to say it. Now that the Great Demon King has spoken first, they don't have to worry about it. After hearing my inquiry, the attendant Clydia asked.

When I first heard this name, I was a little unfamiliar with it. After comparing it with the electronic brain data, I remembered where I had heard this name. "I have heard the name Hohenheim several times before. But when it comes to Hohenheim related to the Dark Temple, I seem to have only heard of one, and that was the previous Lord of Darkness, the predecessor of Ditans. The Lord of Darkness.”

The Great Demon King Hagros nodded and said: "It seems that you do know the affairs of the Dark Temple very clearly. Yes, Hoynheim is the previous main god of the Dark Temple, and we are Lord Hoynheim. subordinates. At that time, a lot of black magic appeared on the roads of Europe. This is a spell system that is different from magic but somewhat similar. On the basis of this system, the profession of wizard gradually emerged. Help you before The great wizard Glenn recommended is a wizard."

I nodded and said: "It seems that most of the wizards in this canyon are here. But why did you three high-level gods from the Dark Temple come to a place like this to become the devil king?"

The Great Demon King Hagros said: "This is actually an order from Lord Hohenheim. Because the witchcraft system has a certain impact on the black magic system of the Dark Temple, in order to ensure the stability of the temple, Your Excellency launched a war against the wizards at that time. . Because the war started very suddenly, and the witchcraft system at that time was not perfect, and many were still in the exploratory stage, so our war was won very easily. However, you know that one war alone cannot completely suppress a school of thought. 's rise, so we were assigned here to pretend to sympathize with these wizards and thus lead them to establish many of these gathering places."

Although the Great Demon King Hagros didn't finish speaking. But I already guessed Hohenheim's plan. It's nothing more than taking this witchcraft system into your own hands and using it in the future. Still, they continued to use the Great Demon King Hagros and the other two followers to control the wizard system so that it could not develop for a long time. The final result was actually the Dark Temple's gain. It can be said that this method is somewhat similar to the method we use to control Japan through Matsumoto Masa, but it is not as rigorous as ours, and it seems a little full of loopholes.

"Then what happens next?" I asked: "Why did you suddenly become independent? Is it because of Ditans?"

The Great Demon King Hagros said: "It can be said that, but it is not entirely the case. After Mr. Hohenheim pointed out the task to us at that time, we also carried out it very successfully, and finally controlled the wizard system, but on our side After getting on the right track, something went wrong at the Dark Temple. A group of dark gods headed by the Fallen God attempted to overthrow Hohenheim's position as the main god. What followed was a century-long war between gods. The entire Dark Temple system was shaken. collapsed. The Dark Temples now scattered around the world were all split at that time. Due to internal disputes, some relatively strong beings who did not like internal fighting went out to work alone. In addition, in the end, Mr. Hohenheim also Instead of keeping his position as a god, he fell."

"Could it be that Ditans killed him? So you refused to return to the Dark Temple because you were angry at his behavior and became independent?"

"No." The Great Demon King Hagros said: "Ditans' behavior is indeed very abominable, but Mr. Hohenheim was not killed by him. In fact, Mr. Hohenheim and Ditans should be considered the same faction. At that time Ditans was actually the main general on Hohenheim's side. However, at the critical moment when Hohenheim led his team to fight the opponent, Ditans gave up reinforcements, which eventually led to the death of Hohenheim. Ditans arrived with another team and killed all the other party's personnel and became the main god of the Dark Temple."

"That is to say, because Ditans deliberately did not go to reinforce, which indirectly killed Hohenheim, and you are unwilling to return to the Black Temple because of this?"

Attendant Clydia took over the words of the Great Demon King and said: "Ditans' behavior is too despicable. We don't want to be the subordinates of such a person."

"Then Ditans just left you alone?" I asked in surprise, because I didn't think Ditans was such a tolerant person.

Sure enough, the captain of the Roswell guard said: "It's not that he let us go, but that he doesn't know our existence at all."

"Ah? How is this possible?"

Cledia explained helpfully: "Because after the first war against wizards, there were not many wizards left. Although we secretly took over the wizard system, this was a secret mission. We only dealt with Hohenheim His Excellency and his first sergeant were in charge, both of whom fell in that battle."

"So no one at the Dark Temple knows you are here?"

Attendant Clydia nodded and said: "Not only did they not know that we were here, they even thought that the wizard line had been eradicated, so they never thought of looking for us because they didn't know about our existence at all. From then on. Although the wizard line has also developed, under our control, it has always been very low-key and has never appeared within the sight of the Dark Temple. Of course, the main reason is that the existence of the Light Temple has greatly attracted the attention of the Dark Temple. Force, the few times we had contact with the Dark Temple, we were treated as people from the Light Temple, so the Dark Temple still doesn’t know about our existence.”

I nodded and said, "But you don't plan to return to the Dark Temple?"

"We really don't have any confidence in a guy like Ditans."

"But since you are unwilling to go back, why do you still use the etiquette of the Dark Temple to greet me? This is obviously because you still want this Dark Temple."

Attendant Clydia asked back: "There is no contradiction between loving one's country and hating the country's **bureaucrats, right?"

"I have to say that your statement makes sense." I nodded, and then said: "If you don't want to be known by the Dark Temple, then I suggest that you don't use this kind of etiquette to receive outsiders next time. I am a reputable person. businessman, so I will not betray your information, but if it is known to others again, there is no guarantee that they will not report it to the Dark Temple."

"No, we have our own reasons." After finishing speaking, the Great Demon King Hagros looked at me and explained: "In fact, we are also very hesitant. We are disgusted with Ditas, but we really want to return to the Dark Temple, so we decided to use This understanding is used to receive outsiders. If we are discovered because of this, then there is no need to hesitate and return directly to the Dark Temple. If we are not discovered, then maintain the status quo."

I was really speechless when I heard this answer. These three people are really the best, and they can actually come up with such a way to deal with it. However, this is someone else's freedom, and I can't interfere with it. Of course, I won't let go of such a good opportunity. As long as it doesn't affect my credibility, I'm still very active in doing business.

"In that case, why don't we trade a guarantee agreement?" I suggested to the three people in front of me with a smile. (To be continued)rq! ! !
