Chapter 137 Clarity
Noshier first greeted Qi Silin and asked him to follow him to find Scar, while he continued to think about this problem.
"...At present, there is an idea, that is the devil gem created by the crown."
According to the monster encyclopedia, most of the lower-level devils have only two ways to advance. The fastest way is to make great contributions so that the superiors will actively spend their power to promote them, so as to achieve a leap in class and form.
The slower ones can only rely on themselves to gradually accumulate military merits on the bloody battlefield, and exchange them for soul coins of fallen intelligent creatures through military merits, and use the evil souls in these soul coins to promote their own advancement.
"However, unlike ordinary devils, the devils transformed by the Domination Crown no longer have the possibility of continuing to advance to the next form."
"Although there will be no flaws in the transformed form, and they are real devils from any perspective, their essence has been fixed by the soul gem. When they are made, they are small devil stones, so they can only become small devils, and the beard devil stone can only become beard devils. This is determined by the hard conditions, so it is absolutely impossible to change."
"But this does not mean that there is no possibility of strengthening a single form."
It was said before that the promotion of devils needs to rely on the energy of the soul to drive, and the soul gem created by the Domination Crown is a higher-end existence than a simple soul coin. Maybe this high-purity soul crystal has the ability to strengthen the power of devils.
After all, the panel also said that this kind of gem has many additional functions. If this thing really has this effect, then Noshier may be able to create some monster-level evil demon incarnations with this function!
In fact, the possibility of this guess is not low. After all, this promotion method is in line with the characteristics of the devil... In fact, it is in line with the promotion characteristics of all lower-level creatures, so the credibility of this guess is very high, but no matter how good this may sound, this interesting idea is only a guess at present.
If you want to verify the authenticity of this idea, you must put it into practice, and if you want to really put it into practice, you have to wait until at least tomorrow, until the nine-ring spell on the crown has cooled down.
Thinking of this, Noshier suddenly glanced at Qi Silin who was walking behind him. The combat effectiveness of this hedgehog demon was not high, and the abilities he mastered were mediocre. Once he left here, he could not provide other help before going to hell, and even had to find a way to hide him. Hiding a devil at this turbulent time would take a lot of extra energy, so in summary.
"Well, brother, you're unlucky."
Noshier silently sentenced him to death in his heart. First, this kind of devil is really useless to Noshier, and second, he is currently the only mid-level devil directly controlled by Noshier, and there is no more suitable experimental target than him.
After keeping this idea in mind, Noshier continued to go to where Scar was.
——
While Noshier was constantly looting various items on the second floor, Scar also turned over the controlled Tavis and placed him in the center of the room. He sat directly on the simple bed opposite him, placed the shield beside him, and looked at Tavis whose injuries had stabilized in a very quiet manner. His expression was very peaceful, but his eyes were empty and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Gargos was very curious about this, but it was not so easy to pry into the mind of a paladin, especially for him now. Under normal circumstances, he couldn't do it.
But this time Scar's mental fluctuations were too intense. He seemed calm on the surface, but in fact, there were undercurrents. Although he still couldn't hear clearly because of the seal and the paladin's own protection against evil, this alone was enough to make Gargos have some crooked thoughts.
"Ah, this complex feeling, admiration, hatred and confusion intertwined, like a heavy burden on the body at the same time, the rage of revenge is burning in the heart, but for some reason, I force myself to suppress it. What makes a holy warrior so entangled?"
He soon captured the reason. Gargos distinguished precious information from Scar's complex thoughts and understood why he was so entangled. In Gargos' eyes after knowing the specific answer, Scar's struggle, entanglement and resistance made his soul more delicious.
Yes, for the devils, the soul of every holy warrior is a good treasure. The stronger, the more experienced and the more firm the faith of the holy warrior, the more precious his soul is in hell.
If a soul of this level falls, it will be the most abundant feast for any devil, because this feast is not only delicious, but also means power. If a little devil gets the soul of a holy warrior of this level, it can even be promoted directly from the lowest class to a high-level devil in a very short time.
Even for Gargos now, this is a rich and delicious meal. No, it can't even be called delicious, but it is a treasure. Eating Scar's soul will definitely allow him to quickly recover his original strength after escaping the seal of the shield.
But he also knows that it is definitely a long and slow life to make a powerful paladin fall, but it doesn't matter. He is willing to take it slowly from now on.
So Gargos didn't think about it anymore. Taking this opportunity, he silently pondered a few words in his heart, and then suddenly spoke.
"You are from Eltoril, don't you hate him? Now the mastermind behind all this is lying in front of you, why don't you put an end to him? Do you deserve your status as a paladin by doing this?"
"......"
Silence? This was not what he expected.
According to his original estimate, the paladin should at least vigorously defend his behavior, but there was such a strange silence.
No, he must be angered.
"Why don't you speak? To be honest, I feel that both of you are hiding something from me."
"I was already surprised by the devil who inexplicably obeyed your orders before, but now your behavior surprises me even more."
"As a vengeful paladin who hates evil, how can you let him continue to live? Have you eaten your creed of revenge?"
"Shut up, hidden lord, you don't understand anything."
Ska finally spoke to refute him, but his eyes never left Tavis, and his words were even more firm.
"Tavius is no longer a threat, but the debt he owes to Eltoril is far from being paid off. I collected a little interest from him before, but if I want him to really pay off the debt, it is definitely not just a matter of making a few holes in his body and pulling out a few teeth."
"I can guarantee that if Tavis is still conscious now and knows what will happen to him in the future, he will definitely seize every opportunity to commit suicide. I can guarantee this to all Eltoril people."
He had already made enough mental preparations on the way here. Although he still had a certain degree of emotional loss when he saw Tavis, all his confusion and pain during this period had been vented out fiercely in that blow.
So although he still had mixed feelings in his heart now, he calmed down, really calmed down, and the life experience and wisdom unique to the paladin were finally liberated from the anger of revenge. His current mental barrier is by no means as fragile as Gargos thought. After completing this adventure, his spirit entered a new realm, so he glanced at the shield beside him with indifferent eyes.
"And you, the hidden lord, I don't know your background and origin, but your words now are obviously inciteful. Although I have heard that some celestial creatures are very stubborn, this kind of behavior of fanning the flames is definitely not in line with the behavioral habits of most celestial creatures."
"So you'd better be careful with your words and don't let me find out any little thoughts and little actions. If you really dare to plan betrayal in your heart, the one lying in front of you is your role model."
