Chapter 230 The Contract with the Devil

"..."

Father……

"..."

"..."

"Hey, it's time to wake up, human."

"..."

What? you say……

In a daze, Kespi Baoguo suddenly woke up. He opened his eyes... and then saw a whole patch of darkness.

Continuous darkness filled his entire field of vision.

"here it is?"

Kespi Baoguo couldn't help asking. He touched his eyelids to confirm that his eyes were indeed open.

But even so, no matter how close his hand was, he still couldn't see anything else.

Pure darkness enveloped everything, and there was nothing else.

etc……

"I remember...I was dead."

Kespi Baoguo said this. He was very impressed. At the last moment of his memory, the white witch released a spell and killed his father, followed by him.

So, here it is…

"Is this...where the dead remain?"

Kespi Baoguo murmured to himself, thinking that he was dead, his whole body went limp and he couldn't exert any strength.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"It seems you're awake...it's a pity that you're not dead yet."

A young man's voice came from somewhere in the darkness. Baoguo couldn't help but look over, but saw nothing.

As always, there was only darkness.

And the voice continues to speak...

"I should have thought of it... I should have thought of it."

As if talking to himself, the voice seemed like no one had spoken for a long time, nagging: "No matter what plane you are in, you can't escape the fate of molten... Then maybe..."

Melting...destiny, what on earth is going on?

"Well, human... you look confused."

The voice quickly got to the point. He answered Baoguo's doubts: "When I found you, your consciousness had been buried."

"That's a spell I don't quite recognize... After such a long period of evolution, the mages have also developed new spells."

"But what is certain is that you were controlled due to the effect of a certain spell...the false you did things instead of your consciousness."

Amidst such sounds, Kespi Baoguo suddenly covered his head in pain, and then...slowly recalled something.

By the way, after he was hit by the White Witch's spell, he had been in a daze as if he had fallen asleep. After that...

As if nothing had happened, he and his father headed towards the royal city with the other members of the Griffin Knights.

Are you being manipulated?

"Yes, you were manipulated."

This voice, can you feel what you are thinking? !

"No, I can't."

"..."

"..."

"Even if you resist thinking about anything, your thoughts and thoughts themselves are enough to expose a lot of things."

"Of course, and your memory..."

The voice said this, his tone was very gentle: "Kingdom, Violet, Griffin Knights... In fact, there is a very serious mistake in your approach."

The voice that said this completely ignored Kespi Baoguo's thoughts, but said to himself:

"The northern part of the kingdom is filled with the crown prince's cronies, while the central part of the kingdom has gradually been controlled by the eldest princess... So, if you want to serve the third princess, you can consider occupying the southwest of the kingdom."

The owner of this voice seemed to have analyzed a lot of things from Kespi Baoguo's memory.

But they obviously don't know that such a plan coincides with the princess's idea. In other words...

If you want to break away from the framework of the [Prince]'s power, the best choice is obviously to go to the west and south of the kingdom.

"Moreover, you actually used that strange abyssal dragon named Bel Xi as a booster...didn't you realize that his appearance was just right?"

Having said this, the owner of this voice obviously proved that he has a strong insight. Perhaps he is a being who is very good at using such tactics.

However, due to insufficient information from Kespi Baoguo's perspective and memory, he was unable to analyze that the eldest princess and the third princess were actually in the same group.

Moreover, until now, Baoguo has not been able to react to the situation. He asked confusedly: "Who are you, and... where is this place?"

"..."

"I... no, we should be said to be us. We are the race that was defeated in the melt, and we are the race that is imprisoned here."

The man's voice spoke simply, with a bit of elegance in his voice, but for some reason... he was talking about "us".

Instead of [me], even if he is the only one here, could it be that... is Kespi also included?

And Kespi Baoguo seemed to have caught something. He murmured to himself: "Defeated in the melt... Ex-Machina... No, let's say..."

Except for the melting of some small planes, the recognized [Great Melting] between planes has only occurred four times in total.

Heaven and heaven, new heaven and mechanical realm, abyss and hell, main plane and hell, and in this process.

There are only two races worthy of being called [lost]...

One naturally became a celestial weapon, and the lifeblood of the race's survival was controlled by the angels. The other race.

He is the devil who was not heard from during the melting process and is rumored to be sealed in the 666th level of the Abyss (New Abyss, Hell).

devil? ! ! !

Looking at Kespi Baoguo's shocked face, the man's next words also proved his guess: "And this is [inside] the 666th floor of the abyss, on the inside."

"Not the upper level, nor the lower level, but [inside]. You and I are both in the prison inside the 666th layer of the abyss."

Regarding the man's words, Baoguo looked at the direction of the voice with great fear: "Why do I appear here?"

The answer to this question is simple.

"Because of the melt."

The man's voice came like this, and he seemed very patient: "In front of [Melting], no place will be special."

"In this prison, all energy is banned, so you can recover from the magic influence of that magician."

"..."

Kespi Baoguo almost understood the situation, and then the first thing that came to his mind... was actually the fear of the White Witch.

The jagged chains and the pain that penetrated his abdominal cavity actually continued, bringing about the pain in his memory.

This is a false phantom pain.

Then, there was fear and confusion about all the unknown... Although he had indeed lifted the spell, he had no idea what to do.

The devil...that voice that spoke was from the devil.

Can the devil be trusted? And...my own father also...

"What are you thinking about?"

The devil said this. He didn't really want to know what Baoguo was thinking, because when Baoguo was in psychological turmoil, he could directly see the other party's thoughts and even memories.

Therefore, the devil's words actually have a hint of irony: "It's interesting to be called protecting the country, but to do things that are rebellious."

However, what he didn't expect was that Baoguo immediately retorted: "No, we just..."

Afterwards, Baoguo made a lot of noises, something like "The kingdom is in chaos, someone must raise the flag!" ], [The third princess is the Violet Orthodox] and the like.

It made the devil laugh happily.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Hahahahaha..."

"..."

Multiple almost overlapping voices, male and female, old and young, mixed together to form indistinguishable laughter.

Deceiving yourself for so long that you have deceived yourself... This is really ridiculous.

"So, don't you want to be the emperor?"

The devil asked, with a hint of bewitchment in his voice: "Sit on a high chair and lie down comfortably. Your servants will feed you fruits, and you can order the search for girls from the entire kingdom."

Baoguo was a little moved by such rhetoric, but his normal thinking told him that it was impossible for him to become the emperor.

At this moment, Baoguo cares more about his father than this.

Even he felt that he could see that the white witch's actions were undoubtedly leading them to death.

"Well, since you are lucky enough to meet me, then you have the possibility of becoming the emperor, and your father can naturally be saved."

The voice said this, and the devil's voice was tempting: "Come here, and I will give you the power to achieve your goal."

Past some? this……

Kespi Baoguo was a little hesitant. He was not sure whether he had made the right choice in the past, but...it seemed that he had no choice other than that.

After taking a few steps in the direction of the sound.

A piece of parchment appeared in front of him.

This is a piece of parchment suspended in mid-air... There are black and red patterns and words on it, and some terms are outlined.

"Yes, you can't get out without our help... Come and take a look. This is the contract I gave you."

Baoguo looked at the parchment carefully.

In the center of this contract, there are small characters written in common language, which seems to be similar to the notarized documents between many nobles.

【1.Jiligualajiliguala】

【2.Jiligualajiliguala】

【3.Jiligualajiliguala】

【……】

Baoguo took a general look, and then looked in the direction of the voice with great doubts, his heart full of doubts.

"What's wrong?"

Regarding the devil's question, Baoguo simply shook his head, and then looked back at the parchment in his hand with some hesitation.

There are many very good conditions written on it.

For example, help him get out of this prison.

The great conditions are not just this one, but also helping his father gain access to control and restore the Griffin Knights to normal.

"what you up to?"

Regarding Kespi Baoguo's question, the devil simply said: "You should have seen it, right?"

Yes, Kespi Baoguo saw the other party’s [need], and the other party’s request was very simple——

[After his death, get his body and soul. 】

Such conditions may seem serious to many people, but for Kespi Baoguo at this moment, these conditions could not be more favorable.

To this, the devil simply replied: "I have been imprisoned for a long time and am already very weak...Your soul is very important to me."

I see.

What about the body? Hmm... maybe, after I die, the devil can use my body to escape?

However, there is one thing that bothers me.

"The contract...if this contract is binding, then what you just said, that [magic] is prohibited in this prison, did you lie to me?"

Baoguo seems to be able to think calmly.

After all, contracts such as [Slave Contract] or [Familiar Contract] are all driven by magic power.

"No, no, no, well... It would be ridiculous if the devil's contract still needs to rely on magic power to activate."

The voice said this, and he said things very lightly that most people would never know in their lifetime——

"There are many kinds of power, not just magic power, for example...emotions, but also snake slough fragments, for example...cognition and belief."

"However, it is difficult to use something like faith. If you cannot strengthen your understanding of yourself, you will easily become crazy like the gods of Cathay."

The devil said this and gave a simple explanation: "Oh, in your understanding, the fragments of snake slough should be called snake scale powder..."

"..."

After being silent for a long time, Baoguo made up his mind and asked, "Then what should I do?"

What this means is that you have to agree to the devil. When asking how to sign this contract, the devil doesn't waste any words.

"My friend, blood is the currency of the soul..."

At these words, Baoguo swallowed, then bit his finger and lightly tapped on the contract.

Then, under his gaze, the parchment gradually began to glow, and then turned into two illusory copies in the air.

One part was absorbed into his body, and the other part flew into the darkness where nothing could be seen, in the direction of the devil.

"Okay, you did a good job, Mr. Baoguo."

The devil said in agreement, his voice as gentle as ever.

Baoguo, who signed the parchment, was immersed in the feeling of the contract with the devil, but his mind had already begun to think about what he would be like after becoming the emperor.

I want to be the emperor...haha, I must!

"So, please ask Mr. Devil, how do I get out of here?"

Kespi Baoguo asked this, and the devil's answer was: "First of all, don't call [us] sir, and secondly..."

Secondly?

While Kespi Baoguo was thinking this, a black shadow quickly struck from the darkness ahead.

"Pfft!"

Accompanied by the sound of a sharp instrument entering his body, Kespi Baoguo looked at his chest with wide eyes... and it disappeared.

No, it didn't disappear.

It should be said that what replaced the original body... was pure darkness.

"Why... why..."

There was blood at the corner of Kespi Baoguo's mouth, and in response to his question, the sound of slow applause came from far and near in the darkness.

"Pah~pah~pah~pah~pah~"

Then, with the sound of applause, a beautiful man with red hair appeared in the darkness.

"The contract is completed... after your death, your body and soul belong to me; then, let us leave here, shall we?"

"Leave this..."

"cage."
