41. The Devil's Help(1/2)
"Yo, look at this!"
Mephist sat unceremoniously on the sofa at Pierce's house, and it reached out to pick up the book that Pierce placed on the table.
That book tells a story about mortals and devils.
"Faust, my favorite book."
Mephist read the book, and it said with ease
"The game I played with my dear Mr. Faust was the most proud story in my long life. It was such a coincidence that you were still a fan."
The great devil blinked at Pierce, who was sitting opposite it, and waved the book in his hand, saying
"Do you want me to sign you?"
After saying that, without waiting for Pierce to answer, the big devil stretched out his claws, and a fire pounded at the tip of his sharp claws.
On the cover of that book, a very gorgeous signature that jumped like burning ashes soon appeared.
"Well, of course it's not the real name."
The great devil put that book on the table, it said
"Picture the real name will cause a lot of trouble. I suffered a loss just now, so I always have to learn some lessons."
It waved its hand, and the coffee machine in the living room automatically started to run. It quickly brewed two cups of strong aromatic coffee, and then poured them into two cups like an invisible hand.
Finally, he was sent to Mephister and Pierce.
"So, let's talk about the matter between us now."
It looked at Pierce, it said
"Obviously, you have a great wish, and that wish is about to come true."
"But another bad thing is that you still have a strong tangle about how to deal with Melin's children."
"You don't want him to interfere with your plans, you know very well how destructive he is."
"But you can't kill him directly. Whether you can kill him is on one hand, or whether you want to kill him is on the other hand."
"You are looking forward to Merlin's change of mind, well, you are looking forward to Merlin's successor to your great cause."
The big devil stretched out his claws and held his chin, and it said to Pierce
"You're probably crazy, I seriously doubt this."
"What kind of person will let Merlin inherit his career?"
"He is naughty, he is entangled in the darkness, has a miserable fate, and is reluctant to bow his head. He also has a group of evil elements, preparing to do something in hell."
"He never told you that he has other identities besides his identity in the world, right?"
Mephister showed a gloomy smile, it said
"Look at you, Lord Pierce, you know nothing about Merlin at all, so why do you have so much anticipation for him?"
"If you want me to tell me, just kill him directly! If he falls, the rest will be easily solved."
Pierce did not answer.
He was organizing the language, he was looking at the devil in front of him, and after a moment, he said
"I think this proves Merlin's ability to make a legendary character angry so much that he appears in person to solve the problem."
"What's more, I have my plans for this matter."
"What are your plans? The wisdom of mortals!"
Mephist raised his legs. He first mocked Pierce, and then threw the contract in his hand on the table.
It said to the cunning soul in front of him
"I know, people like you won't believe me who suddenly appears and claims to be a helper. I don't expect you to believe me, so let's let the contract do things."
"We have already made it clear what you want and what I want."
The big devil snorted, it said to Pierce
"You still lack strength in your hands. To do what you want to do, you need help. Actually, I don't think you need to have any worries."
"Compared to achieving a great wish, it is simply not worth mentioning to trade with the devil."
"You should learn from your senior Red Skull Schmidt. Like you, he also longs to change the world with his own hands. And there are more Red Skulls than you who are looking forward to it."
"When he signed a contract with me, he didn't have any hesitation at all."
Pierce raised his head and showed a weird smile, he said
"So, the Red Skull finally failed and the corpse was gone, right?"
"Well, his failure has nothing to do with me."
Mephist spread his hands and said innocently
"I gave him all the clues he wanted, and he found the power that could change the world as I expected. His failure was because he underestimated a son of destiny, and his failure was because of his arrogance."
"His arrogance is born from the power he has obtained, which is not something I have imposed on him."
"not to mention"
The big devil blinked, it said
"Did you confirm that he really failed? The Red Skull is not dead yet?"
Pierce's expression changed for a moment. Instead of continuing to say this to the great devil, he looked down at the contract.
The content inside is very concise and stipulates the responsibilities and obligations of both parties. Judging from the text core alone, there are not many loopholes.
After all, this is just a temporary contract, and the end point of the contract is at the moment when Pierce completes the new order.
Moreover, the contract stipulates that Mephist must do his best to help Pierce achieve the new order without condition and without reason.
As the price of this help, in this upcoming action, Mephist can also borrow all the cards in Pierce's hand to strike Merlin Riley, and Pierce cannot stop it.
"You have a big plan."
The voice of the great devil sounded in Pierce's ears, and it said slowly
"A big plan will always encounter all kinds of difficulties, and I will be responsible for helping you get rid of the most difficult one. I don't even need you to pay me for you. Where can I find such a good thing?"
"And, you don't have to worry about the contract itself being problematic."
Mephister was like a young man in a job search, bragging and saying to Pierce
"The other devils, I mean my unhelpful compatriots, who always like to move their little hands and feet on the contract, such as lace cipher text, synonyms and language traps, to reflect their so-called 'evil' and 'wisdom'."
"But that can't withdraw anything except making them look stupid. The contract is sacred and all the devils who play tricks will eventually be punished."
"I won't do this. I never disdain to make any loopholes in the contract itself. I won't do this!"
The Devil said softly
"I will arrange everything before the contract begins. For me, the contract is just a signal of the beginning of another game."
"Wait, I have a question."
Pierce reached out to interrupt Mephist's boast, he looked at the big devil, he said
"If you are really as described in Faust, then I think you don't need to intervene in this matter and you can use your own strength to punish Merlin for your disrespect for you."
"As a legendary devil, although I don't know much about it, I think he shouldn't be your opponent yet, right?"
"Hey, what are you talking about, you mortal!"
The big devil snorted dissatisfiedly, and it said to Pierce
"I'm not a savage, but actually, I hate violence."
"My Lin used his wisdom to help me gain a failure, so I must fight back in the same field. I like conspiracy and games."
It stretched out its forked, snake-like tongue, licked its lips, it said
"The world is so boring now, really, so quiet, I want to make it lively."
"And from your plan, I smell the scent of chaos, which will make this world that is heading towards a boring one more interesting, and I long to see it become a reality."
"And you know what's the best?"
The big devil snapped his fingers, and he said enthusiastically
"The best thing is that all this is your own choice. Even the Supreme One has no reason, let alone interfere."
"You mean, the arrival of a new order will cause the world to become in chaos?"
Pierce's expression changed a little, he asked
"You predicted everything?"
"Prophecy? Stop joking!"
The big devil curled his lips disdainfully
"You can ask Merlin what the essence of prophecy is, and it is just a certain illusion seen from the river of disordered destiny. It may happen, but there is a greater possibility that it will not happen."
