Chapter 116 The Raid Begins
Noshier walked to the door of the room. He first checked the specific structure of the door. Because he had not found the key to the room on the hedgehog in the ritual room, he could only try to pry it open with his claws.
However, at this moment, Noshier was surprised to find that there was no keyhole on the outside of the iron door. This situation would occur if this door was either a magic door like the door in the ritual room before, or the main structure of the door was not a lock, but a bolt.
Noshier quickly determined that this door was definitely not a magic door. The magic light did not flash on it, which meant that this door should be a bolt structure.
The biggest feature of this bolt structure is that the sovereignty of opening the door is completely inside the door, not outside the door. After all, the lock hole is gone, and it cannot be opened from the outside by normal means.
"Interesting, this structure can perfectly prevent other thieves, robbers and even assassins. These uninvited guests can only use magic to open this door, but no matter whether it is knocking or other spells, when opening this door, it will definitely be discovered by the creatures living inside, and I can't pry it open with my claws like before. This special bolt door is probably specially used to prevent this situation."
Noshier couldn't help but have this thought in his mind. This specially designed door seemed to force those uninvited guests to use magic to open it, because this special iron door only prevents the outside, and only prevents physical picking, and the defense against magic can be said to be a mess.
"This design that can perfectly prevent thieves and thieves can't prevent me, and in fact, it can hardly prevent any spellcaster, but which spellcaster would do this?"
That is naturally a thief who has mastered one or two small spells. Although Noshier is not a thief, he does know one or two small spells.
No matter if there is a bolt or a latch behind the door, Noshiel can open them instantly by casting magic. After all, this door is not a magic door, but just a simple moving object, which is not difficult for a small magic like magic.
However, the movement caused by opening the door with magic will definitely be discovered by the creatures in the house in an instant, but it doesn’t matter, because Noshiel has come up with a very simple and rough plan, which is to open the door lock instantly through magic, and then kick the door open directly, and then immediately try to use the control ability of the Crown of Domination to forcibly control Tavis, so that he will be forcibly controlled without even a moment to react!
As long as the attack is fast enough, so that he is hit by the spell or attack the moment he hears the sound, it doesn’t matter whether he is discovered or not, and Noshiel is very confident in the effectiveness of the seven-ring spell. If Tavis has really been transformed into an Anzu demon, then this spell has a very high probability of controlling him the moment it hits.
Because as far as Noshiel knows, although Anzumo can be regarded as a high-level demon in the command class, the average perception ability of this demon type is not high, and it can even be said to be very low, with an average of only 12 points. Although they are high-level demons with relatively strong spell resistance, their perception is really too low. Therefore, even if the monster illustration shows that Anzumo's biological level is about 16-18, Noshiel is still confident that he can control him.
Moreover, although this plan is simple, it can quickly and perfectly achieve the main purpose. Even if the control fails, there is a backup plan. At this time, Scar can take advantage of the stiffness period of Tavis's immunity spell and immediately use the Phantom Step to teleport behind him, and then use the Holy Slash to blow his dog head.
Well, the plan is simple and crude, but the benefits are obvious. Noshiel can accept either of the two endings. The most important thing is that the success rate is not low, because his natural wings and dress will definitely make Tavis hesitate at the moment of kicking the door, and this hesitation for just a moment can make him die without a burial place.
However, to do this, at least we need to make sure that Tavis is hiding behind this door. Only in this way can we continue to act. And Noshier's worry is not unreasonable. After all, who knows if there is any partition in the room where he lives?
If this room is divided into a living room and a bedroom, then this reckless action will have no other meaning except exposing himself and making Tavis alert.
So when he came to the door, he carefully put his ear against the iron door and listened to the movement inside. If Tavis was really inside, he would definitely hear some sound.
…
“…Yes, of course I will keep my promise. Everyone knows that I am trustworthy. So as long as you can do what you promised, my Lord Zariel will set you free.”
“…”
“Well…that’s not a good thing to say, respected lord. You should be thankful for my Lord’s generosity. Otherwise, just based on what you just said, you should be thrown into the Styx and disappear from this world completely.”
“…”
“What? No, no, no, how could I threaten you? After all, we are now in a cooperative relationship, and I have always been kind and generous to my allies.”
“…”
Noshier shrank back when he heard this.
Tavis was indeed right across the street, and it sounded like he was talking to something, but Noshier didn’t hear any sound other than him.
"Who is he talking to? No, it doesn't matter. Although the voice and conversation heard are not complete, it can be known that the person he is talking to is definitely not Zariel or other powerful people."
"Judging from Tavis's tone, the unknown creature he is talking to is completely in a weak position. It is more like a coerced person than an ally. In this case, there is no need to hesitate."
Noshir took off the double axes from his waist, and then put both axes in his right hand. He stretched out his left hand to gesture to cast a spell. Seeing this, Scar also directly threw away his cloak, and the activated rope was wrapped around his left arm like a snake. At the same time, he held the holy emblem symbolizing his oath in the palm of his left hand, and his right hand also held the war hammer tightly.
——
The flickering candlelight on the iron candlestick illuminated the room warmed by the iron claw-foot stove. Opposite the crackling stove was a simple big bed and table and chairs. Tavis Craig, the former lord of Eltoril, the Supreme Observer, and the once loyal Torm Guard, was now sitting on that chair.
From the outside, he is an elderly man in his 70s, wearing simple clothes and robes, fat and short. Sitting on a chair, he squinted his eyes under the light of the fire, as if he was very comfortable.
If you only look at his appearance, Tavis looks very peaceful, kind, and has a kind of kindness that belongs only to the elderly, but this is just an illusion. If you look closely, you can see behind him, his distorted and eerie shadow under the light of the fire, which is completely beyond the scope of human beings.
The shadow of a devil.
The same fat and short, but with short wings behind, and two strange arms growing upwards on the shoulders of the devil's shadow.
The deformed unique arm is very easy to identify, with slender shoulders, thick arms, and wide palms. Such a distorted and unique feature, only the shadow of Anzu Mo meets this condition, but the magical thing is that Tavis is still a human being now, at least his appearance is a human being.
And Tavis at this time.
"I believe that our cooperation will satisfy both of us, but I don't understand why you are unwilling to accept my Lord's help? As a devil, and a powerful devil, my Lord Zariel should be happy to accept your loyalty."
"Loyalty? Haha, no! You stupid maggot, your shallow knowledge makes me laugh. Maybe you got power from your master, but what does that power mean to me? What does Zariel mean?"
"The Hidden Lord is not loyal to anyone! Especially the so-called Zariel, his qualifications are too young, young and stubborn, this kind of guy will not live long in the Nine Hells. If you are smart enough, you should abandon him from now on and serve me wholeheartedly."
"...I still hope you can carefully consider your words, Hidden Lord, now I have begun to doubt whether our cooperation is correct. Perhaps offering you to my Lord Zariel would be more in line with my Lord's wishes than cooperation. "
"Hehe, then you try it, send me to hell! I don't know what happened in the Nine Hells during the years I was sealed. Did Asmodeus lose his mind again and let such a weak person replace the original Grand Duke Bayer? But no matter what the truth is, that kind of junior can never be compared with me. "
"You'd better remember this and recognize your position. If you can't respect me and the Hidden Lord in the next conversation, then you can't expect to get my help!" Tavis was silent for a while, and then changed to a less aggressive tone and said to the shield in front of him.
"...Yes, Lord Hidden, but you must remember one thing, that is, no matter how glorious you were in the past, you are still restricted by this small shield. If it weren't for the help of us maggots, you would still be buried in that dark tomb, and I don't know how many years it would take for you to see the light of day again. We even held a grand blood sacrifice for you as soon as we dug you out, so that you can wake up from your slumber."
"So thank me, Lord Hidden. For the sake of both of us, why don't we sign a good contract from now on, and lay the foundation for our good cooperation in the future."
"After all, only in this way can both of us feel at ease, and then work together towards a common goal, right?"
"Reassurance? I can't think of how I can feel at ease with a maggot like you! You fat-headed and big-eared fool, you dare to be so complacent in front of me with just such a small power, arrogant and stupid, even if you die in front of me in the next moment, I don't feel anything..."
