Chapter 305: Canoros Demon
Noshier was caught off guard by this sudden news. He had not found any information about the area below in the hedgehog's mind before. The poor guy didn't know that there were unknown levels in the place where he had worked for more than 200 years.
"It's outrageous. He has been here for more than 200 years, but he doesn't even know how many floors there are in the military factory. But these guys are devils after all. With their weird system, it seems not surprising that such a thing would happen."
The most essential point of the devil's centralized system is the extremely strict class. Low-level devils don't need to remember anything except the duties they must remember. Only the management class has the right to know these things that should be known to everyone.
The hedgehog has never left the area of the first floor in the past 200 years. Even because the patrol place is outside the military factory, the information he can access is even more closed, so this weird thing happened. Fortunately, this chain demon has helped him make up for the lack of these information, but this incident also reminded Noshier.
Although the ability to detect thoughts is useful, if the target of the detection does not even know the correct answer, then the answer obtained based on this will only be a misleading wrong answer. In addition, these low-level demons will definitely not know all the secrets of this factory, so he must be more careful in the next action.
——
At this time, Noshier was steadily moving towards the entrance of the second underground floor. After controlling the chain demon, he did not stay there for long. Instead, he connected with the demon through the helmet and spells, sorted out the information in its mind, and ordered the chain demon to maintain the status quo and wait for new instructions at any time.
In this process, Noshier perfectly maintained his own personality. Without arousing anyone's suspicion, he approached the entrance of the second underground floor very smoothly, and was stopped by a team of demons stationed there.
A team of hedgehog demons wearing special armor and holding spears stopped Noshier. This was an unconventional special guard team consisting of 12 members.
The main members are hedgehogs, numbering nine. The other three members are two single-headed hellhounds with a keen sense of smell, strong bite force and the ability to spit hellfire, and a round body, four limbs on the ground, with a unique shell all over the body, no head, neck, face, eyes and ears, only a bloody mouth full of sharp teeth and tongue, and two tiny nostrils on the mouth.
The two hellhounds were led by a hedgehog demon on both sides of the gate with chains. Seeing strangers coming, the two hellhounds were a little agitated, but because of the restraint of the chains, they had no difference from Noshier's aura with the devil, and the two hellhounds did not show obvious intentions to attack.
The performance of the hellhounds made the devils seem a little relaxed, but they still stopped Noshier diligently, and at the same time, their captain walked out of the queue and shouted to Noshier.
"Stop, soldier. The road ahead does not belong to your jurisdiction. Report your number, jurisdiction and purpose of coming here quickly. If there is no reasonable explanation, you will be treated as an intruder and we will not be able to guarantee your safety."
Noshier lowered his head, which was originally parallel, to look at the other party. Yes, the captain of this team was the Canoros demon who looked like a completely unintelligent creature, but actually had an IQ higher than that of ordinary mortals.
If someone who was not familiar with this kind of demon faced such a situation, he would probably classify it as livestock like hellhounds at the first time of meeting, thus directly exposing it, but Noshier had already obtained relevant information, and the ability of the monster encyclopedia made him familiar with the abilities and characteristics of this demon.
From the name, it can be heard that this kind of demon is also a kind of Yugroth demon. Canoros demons like to sign contracts to guard valuable treasures and important places, because their abilities and characteristics make them invincible when engaged in this industry.
Canoros have keen senses. Although they have no eyes, they can accurately locate the position of invisible creatures around them. Once threatened, they will react without hesitation, stretching out their long and thorny tongues to grab the enemy and pull it close, and then judge whether to use powerful claws to disembowel him or mince him with their terrifying big mouths.
Of course, if it were just these skills, the two hellhounds next to the Canoros would be fully competent. These dogs don't even need a reward. They only need a mouthful of minced meat mixed with souls to ensure considerable loyalty. Hiring them is much more cost-effective than hiring Canoros.
But Canoros has a unique ability that makes them more suitable for guarding treasure houses or important places than any other devils, that is the ability to distort dimensions.
This ability is a natural passive skill. As long as there is a Kanoloth Demon, no form of space transfer can be performed within a radius of 300 feet (100 meters) with the demon as the radiation point. In other words, this demon is equivalent to being born with a dimensional anchor. If a thief wants to use the ability to travel through dimensions to steal treasures or pass through key locations, this demon will definitely make him fall flat on his face.
Nohir had seen this kind of devil before in Stygia City, but because the things he took were not important, he didn't meet them directly. As a result, he still couldn't find the location of the storage warehouse after arriving here, so he had to Let’s deal with this perfect gatekeeper first.
"I am Kira with the number T4623. The main patrol location is in the smelting area of T4. The main person in charge of our area, Lord Huss, was accidentally injured just now. It is inconvenient to move now. The Lord directly asked me to come over and inform the quartermaster. For this accident, I also applied for a fallen elixir to heal my wounds. This is Lord Hus’s token.”
Nohir said the words he had planned without changing his face, and took out the waistband he got from the chain demon. This kind of thing is also a symbol of status. The devil's position and number are recorded on it. He also has a waist card, which he got from the injured hedgehog demon.
In order to make this lie more true, Nohir even used the incubus demon's natural transformation ability to turn himself into a hedgehog demon early in the morning. His preparations also paid off, and the Kanolos demon did not have too much If you doubt it, you probably believe Nohill's words.
However, due to his responsibilities, he still asked the person in charge what kind of injury he suffered and why he was injured. Nohill immediately told the reason that he had thought about for a long time.
