Chapter 144 The Nest of Greed

The dark and deep underground secret realm is like an ant nest, with countless twisted veins spreading in the soil in all directions.

The core of this "ant nest" is a vast hall.

At this time, the hall was crowded with people.

A large number of apostles wearing gray cloaks were busy surrounding several huge snake-shaped corpses. Some were observing with magnifying glasses, while others were constantly digging patterns on the surface, as if they were arranging some kind of ceremony.

A mysterious man wearing a black cloak and a mask was sitting on a tall throne deep in the hall.

He is greedy.

Greed was originally overlooking everything below, but now, his attention was diverted because of a piece of news.

"Succeeded?" His tone was surprised.

"Yes."

A rich voice answered.

It was a very sloppy-looking bull-headed monster with brown-black skin and a strong body. Compared with Greed's current image, it was extremely powerful.

But at this time, the monster was kneeling at its feet, looking very submissive.

"Count Carman has locked the target in the dungeon, and has carefully confirmed that it is Andy himself."

"But how could it be so easy?"

Greed is weird about this.

He was framed before, which made him very embarrassed.

It was impossible to determine who framed him, but he suspected that it was related to the human named Andy.

After all, his apostle has long been eyeing Andy and knows many weird things about Andy.

And the trial that came more than a month ago can also be attributed to Andy - if Andy hadn't deliberately taken the plane, how could he have paid attention to the dark forest and suffered heavy losses?

So although there was no evidence, in anger and being framed, he ordered a confidant to carry out a kidnapping operation.

However, orders are orders, and he actually has no hope for the success of this matter.

When he calmed down, he even forgot about it.

The reason is very simple. With the protection of the archangel, it is impossible for his henchmen to tie up the person's hands, and the chance of even getting close is very low.

However, right now, this impossible thing happened...

He took a crystal ball from the Minotaur's hand and after knocking it twice, a figure of a young man imprisoned in a dark dungeon appeared inside.

Lean against the corner of the rock wall of the cell, the young man lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, but it was indeed Andy.

I asked carefully about the details of the kidnapping process and found nothing unusual.

So greed has a judgment on this.

"It's a trap."

Easily obtained treasures often contain dangers, and no one understands this better than him.

So after snorting softly, he said to the Minotaur at his feet: "I won't go there. Ask Carman to interrogate him and report to me after he finds out everything starting from York."

The Minotaur heard this and responded respectfully, then stood up and left.

Greedy eyes looked at the group of busy apostles under the throne again.

In other words, he looked at the snake-shaped corpses surrounded by the apostles.

"You guys just grab it slowly here. I don't care about that bullshit arrogance and authority anymore."

he thought with a sneer.

Others did not know that he had been framed and thought that he had the upper hand in the struggle for authority.

But he himself knew what was going on.

Not only was he clear, he also knew that if he stayed, he would be besieged sooner or later.

Therefore, he has completely given up on competing for arrogant authority.

In fact, the thought of quitting had already arisen before he was framed this time.

Because he vaguely smelled something wrong.

That's why I took a group of apostles to the dark forest.

The corpses of ancient snakes that can create dark forests are a source of serious pollution to the angels.

But for him, it is a treasure worth studying.

Getting this treasure, not only to make up for my own losses, but also to some extent is a kind of comfort——

This is already the lowest "bottom line" for him who usually suffers if he doesn't take advantage.

If he really wanted to leave in embarrassment without gaining anything, he would probably be depressed to death.

Therefore, while others were pursuing the power of arrogance and lies, he instead set his sights on the ancient snake that no one cared about.

I thought that this kind of retreat would be unlikely to cause any accidents.

But the result was like a blow to the head, knocking him out instantly.

"But it doesn't matter, then Adaniel can't protect you for the rest of your life."

Touching the guard of the throne, Greed murmured to himself, "Sooner or later you will fall into my hands, crying and begging to tell me which bastard is framing me..."

…

"Guess what His Majesty the Demon King is planning to do?"

In a remote cave far away from the hall, several apostles were sitting on the ground, using special knives to process some mud-stained herbs.

Guy, who had participated in the search in the dark forest before, was busy cutting off the roots of the herbs in his hand while turning his head to ask his friend Robin beside him.

"have no idea."

The friend named Robin answered with a dull voice. His face was covered with layers of bandages and he was wearing a hood and cloak, making him look very sneaky.

However, this image is actually very common among the apostles.

Because their power comes from their respective demon masters, and the power of demons is not something that human bodies can fully adapt to.

Some apostles who have a good compatibility with their masters will not be troubled by this. But for those who are not so matched, various "complications" will occur after gaining demonic power.

Festering all over the body, oozing pus, and emitting a foul odor are among the most obvious.

In this case, you need to wrap yourself up tightly to avoid making a fool of yourself and avoid disgusting others.

"Yes, who can guess what that great being thinks." Guy nodded, but his face was very proud.

"But it doesn't matter if you can't guess. What matters is that we are close to His Majesty now."

This is actually an honor.

Because usually, it is impossible for apostles like them to get close to a demon king.

Only the direct descendants of the Demon King have this qualification.

But now, after the death of a large number of their colleagues, they are short of manpower, but their status has been greatly improved.

Already qualified to approach and do things for the Demon King himself.

For example, dealing with herbs at the moment.

"I guess it has something to do with the struggle for authority."

An apostle next to him continued: "They say that Your Majesty has an advantage now, but if you want to maintain it, you need to do something more."

"So, do something?"

"I don't know, maybe I'm trying to summon my true form to come?"

"Isn't His Majesty your true form now?"

"How could it happen so casually..."

As they chatted, the working time passed quickly.

After a busy day, I was finally able to rest.

After processing the herbs, the group of apostles met to play in the game room specially built by the devil for the apostles.

Guy is one of them.

But halfway through, he suddenly discovered that his friend Robin, who was supposed to come with him, was inexplicably missing.

"really weird."

Therefore, he secretly muttered, "Why is that guy always so mysterious lately?"

This is very suspicious.

But as an apostle of the devil, being mysterious didn't seem to be anything special, so Guy was relieved in an instant.

However, after such a delay, he fell behind a group of people.

The rest time was limited, so Guy stopped thinking about it and was about to speed up to catch up, when he caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of his eye, which made him suddenly startled.

"A deer?"

He was shocked by this.

But before he could react, his eyes suddenly went dark, and then he didn't know anything anymore!

There may only be two updates in the last few days, friends.
