Broad World

The contract is the ultimate embodiment of the entire Baator hell order. It allows every devil to find his own position. At the same time, through the contract, they also obtain what they most desire, that is, the soul of a mortal.

From the moment each devil is born with the ability to think independently, their whole life revolves around three things, bloody battles, political struggles, and soul acquisition, and the last one is often from the lord to the needle. The issue that Shanghai is particularly concerned about is that the former is concerned about its own strength and the number of troops, and the latter is concerned because as long as more soul contracts can be signed, one can be promoted by the superior.

Different from demons who prefer violent means to forcibly plunder souls, devils advocate deception and seduction. According to the latest standards of the Bator Hell Justice Bureau, any contract must abide by the following principles:

The first is voluntary, the mortal who sells his soul must make a choice according to his own will, and the use of control and charm magic in the process will be severely punished.

Secondly, the content of the contract must be well worded and grammatically fluent, without any loopholes or ambiguous parts. Otherwise, if it is used by mortals, the devil responsible for writing the contract will be demoted.

Finally, and most importantly, the devils have the right to write the contract in any language, regardless of whether the signer understands it or not, it will take effect immediately at the moment of signing.

In the terms of a typical soul contract, in which a devil lures the souls of the mortal signatories with money, information, supernatural powers, or other services, they sometimes surprise themselves how many mortals offer The low price has betrayed his immortal essence.

However, devils are not idiots who do not know how to adapt. If some mortals who are well-known in the main plane choose to seek refuge in hell, then he is likely to receive some preferential treatment. For example, if a human mage was around tenth level before he was alive, as long as he was careful when signing the contract, he could skip those lower ranks after death and become a little devil or a harvester or a erotic demon. .

If Henry now chooses to take all his secrets and defect to the hell camp, then Asmodeus will definitely not be stingy to give up the position of a duke or lord.

After all, in this world of supernatural powers, powerful individuals are treated with courtesy and respect wherever they go.

As a contract master, Bayer is very good at writing treaties. In just a few minutes, he wrote two and a half meters of purgatory text on a scroll of parchment.

Perhaps it is difficult to see such a long contract on the main plane. But in Bator Hell, this is already considered to be very short, and some clauses about alliances can even be written in hundreds of thousands of words. In this regard, the devils have amazing talents. They will carefully plug every loophole, and at the same time, they will unknowingly set traps for their opponents. Those who can't bear to read carefully will often be trapped. It's pretty miserable.

In fact, Henry's personality is relatively casual, so he is quite disgusted with the complicated and cumbersome contracts of the devils. At the same time, he doesn't think that the hellish fiend in front of him will play tricks on it, but cautiously, he forced himself to read the entire content word by word.

As the saying goes, if you don't see, you don't know. I was startled when I saw it. It turned out that Bayer had really tampered with it. He replaced all the deliveries in the contract with leases. The spelling of these two words in Purgatory is very similar, and the meaning is very close. If you are not proficient in reading and writing of this kind of text, you will undoubtedly be ignored if you only rely on reading magic to understand it.

After secretly sighing that the devil is really a dog who can't change eating shit, Henry sneered and raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and all the problematic places on the parchment scroll were shining with dazzling red light.

He didn't mean to speak, just stared at each other like this. There was a hint of playfulness in the eyes, as if waiting for a good show.

"Aha! I was so excited just now. I didn't expect to accidentally use so many grammar and words wrong. It really made you laugh." Bayer shamelessly brushed off the conspiracy and quickly revised the terms. .

As a big devil who climbed up from the bottom, he has already fed all useless things like shame, conscience and integrity to the dogs, so he doesn't care about others' contempt, anyway, that thing can't die people.

"In this case, I will forgive you for your "unintentional" mistake this time, but I hope there will be no next time." After speaking, Henry directly signed his name at the bottom of the contract.

"Of course! I guarantee that there will never be any similar situations in the future cooperation, because in hell, once the contract is signed, it will never be violated. After all, those guys in the Justice Bureau are not easy to mess with." Bayer changed the subject. One side also signed the name below.

As his last words fell, the two-and-a-half-meter-long parchment scroll suddenly started burning from below. After a while, it was burned from the beginning to the end, and only two shafts made of bones remained on the ground.

When the last gleam of fire disappeared completely, Bayer pointed to the residue on the ground and explained: "This contract has been backed up in the Bator Hell Justice Bureau, and it is supervised by the laws of the entire hell order. Now you can talk about those useful things. Suggested."

Henry could feel the special energy remaining in the air, and knew that the other party was not lying, so he nodded with a smile: "Then this is the beginning, please listen carefully, because some secrets are involved, so I will never repeat the second all over."

"Please wait!"

As soon as Bayer heard the word "secret", Bayer immediately stood up, pushed open the door and sent away all the subordinates around him. At the same time, he blessed several spells to avoid detection, and sealed the entire secret room to ensure that no one would be caught. A third person hears.

After doing all this, he returned to the chair and made a gesture of invitation: "Now you can start."

"Actually, it's not difficult to make Zariel lose her status as a hell lord. You can start from the following aspects. First of all, the first point is also the easiest to operate, and that is to let her escape."

"Let her go?" Bayer frowned, his face full of doubts.

"That's right! Let her go. But it's not just letting her go, but designing a trap so that she can only flee in the direction of the bottomless abyss after she leaves. In this way, if she doesn't give up her identity as the lord of hell, Then you will naturally be besieged by all the demons, and it will be hard not to die at that time. If she gives up her status as a hell lord, the position of the first floor lord will be vacant, and you will be automatically promoted to become a new lord immediately."

Speaking of this, Henry glanced at the expression of the big devil sitting opposite him, and then continued: "The advantage of this method is that it is easy to operate, and it definitely does not violate the laws and rules of hell. The disadvantage is that once she makes a mistake, she can immediately To launch a rebellion capable of shaking the foundations of the regime."

Bayer held his chin expressionlessly and nodded slightly: "Please continue, I need more advice."

Obviously, this big devil is not very interested in the first plan, because he still can't confirm that those high-ranking devils are sincerely loyal to him, and those are secretly loyal to Zariel, which is most likely to cause rebellion and division .

Henry could sense the other party's concerns, and smiled slightly: "Okay, let's talk about the second point, starting with her status as a fallen angel. As we all know, a fallen angel is due to certain defects in her personality, and then she gradually becomes interested in her. Kindness produces a special species of suspicion and rejection. Some of them are too proud, and some are tired of mortals swinging between good and evil. In short, their hearts are always indulged in self-pity and despair. But these creatures Always retaining the divine essence, once it is awakened, the holiness is restored in an instant."

"You mean... let me awaken her conscience?!!!" Finally, a look of emotion appeared on Bayer's face, or rather shock.

He couldn't believe that there is anything more unacceptable in this world than a devil helping fallen angels return to Heaven Mountain. It's like letting wolves not eat sheep, but helping them resist other beasts snooping.

You must know that in the multiverse, goodness is goodness, and evil is evil. The two are in opposition, and there is no compromise or gray area. If Bayer does this, then he has done an out-and-out Such a great thing, but for an evil and lawful devil, it is a complete disgrace.

However, this is what Henry wanted. He deliberately turned a blind eye to the strange expression of the fiend in deep hell, and continued to bewitch: "Don't make a fuss, anything can happen in the multiverse. Think about it, once she changes If you become a powerful angel, it is naturally impossible to continue to serve as the lord, and this matter does not necessarily require you to do it yourself, and you do not need to take risks. After returning to goodness, you can also cut off her head by the way. "

The reason why he encouraged Bayer to do this was actually to test the bottom line of Baator Hell, to see how Zariel's mark as a lord would be peeled off after she returned to the good camp.

Although this is very evil, it is very necessary in Henry's view, because compared with the abyss full of infinite possibilities, the rules of hell have too many contradictions. On the one hand, this is the base camp of the devil, on the other On the other hand, there are a large number of other races, such as fallen angels, and hags, and Asmodeus even allows them to become lords of one level.

The Lord of the Nine Hells seems to be continuing his power in secret, especially those powerful individuals who actively choose to degenerate from good will often receive extra care. This is the case for Zariel, and the Lord of the Seventh Floor of Hell—Balzebu is also doing the same. One has to suspect that there is some ulterior purpose in it.

Although Henry has never planned to intervene in the internal affairs of the devil, he is still very interested in the true identity and purpose of Asmodeus. After all, the real multiverse is so big, and there are only a few life forms who are qualified to stand at the top. And the Lord of the Nine Hells is undoubtedly one of them. (to be continued ~^~)
