417. Tension
ps: third update
Maki clapped his palms aside.
"Mr. Cadias, although I would like to be sure that you are a noble blood clan from the ground, but I think the power of magic must be the ones in your team who understand its subtlety. The travel of your vampire last night and the travel of your friends today, really, if I weren't sure that those who live in it were our dear guests, I would really think that you are humans disguised by demons, both in appearance and in breath."
"Thank you for your praise, Master Maki, it's just like Lord Kiliri said, "What am I, what my friends and I are, it doesn't matter, it's important that we come from the ground and, what we're going to hell, right?"
Zhou Chu replied to Maki with a smile, and Maki nodded with the same smile, and then looked at Kiliri.
Killery clapped his palms, and the huge metal palms collided, making a bright but low sound.
"So, before talking about our purposes and their respective interests, Cadias, allow me to entertain you, and your friends with the highest dinner in Tataril."
The dinner began like this, without music and dance. Fortunately, perhaps because of the relationship Maki considered that this dinner in hell was not too weird and unacceptable in terms of food. Although some meat and dishes could not be divided into their varieties and dishes, there was nothing unusual when it looked and tasted. Maki also repeatedly guaranteed that the use of meat did not violate the moral values and cognition of humans on the ground, which were not suitable and should not be eaten, most of which were derived from pure hell creatures such as hell boars and hell tigers.
The demons were not so scruples, nor had the image or identity of a nobleman. They were there, while feasting, listening to Killery and Maggie asking about things on the ground and asking about places different from hell. In a sense, these demons acted like Nordic Vikings, with generous and barbaric personality, but also direct, which was somewhat different from the legendary sinister and cunning demons.
As for the undead and skeletons, their food is a bit special. Some fluid objects that emit fluorescent and have strange magical fluctuations, like jelly, or some light balls that are simply like animal souls, and watching the skeletons eat these things one by one. It feels quite inexplicable joy.
Maki and Killery naturally acted as active atmosphere. They would ask Zhou Chu about the experiences, changes and situations on the ground from time to time. Zhou Chu also answered questions and answers. Since he had decided to return to the ground as much as possible, the current situation on the ground was not impossible to answer or avoid, so on this side, Zhou Chu did not hide anything.
Knowing that unprecedented wars were breaking out on the ground, Kiliri, Maki, and the demon generals showed enough interest, but they also showed enough soberness and reason. Even if the occasional temptation appeared, they just wanted to see if they could find an opportunity to lead a small team to rob them through a teleportation array instead of any other big move.
Although it did not involve too many topics, Zhou Chu at least learned that as far as Tataril was concerned, both Kiliri and other demon generals had enough interest in the ground.
The dinner ended soon, but Zhou Chu and others did not leave. Because according to convention, there was still time to chat and leisure, and this was the time to talk about the main business and test each other and inquire about the other's purpose and intention.
After asking the servant to remove the remaining food, Killery brought everyone to the second floor of the White Bone Palace, where it had long been arranged as a place similar to the Renaissance salon style, except that whether it was benches, sofas, single chairs, round tables and wine cabinets, they all had rich and obvious demonic decorations and styles.
At this time, some demon generals knew that the next conversation was no longer something they could participate in, so they took a leave first. In the end, those who stayed on the second floor of the White Bone Palace were only Killeri and Maki, as well as a tall red and copper demon general, as well as a dead soul like a low-level death knight, a skeleton, and a demon servant trusted by Killeri Suo.
Killery signaled that the sexy and hot servants around him were wearing exposed clothes, poured Zhou Chu and others a glass of hell wine, and then he also held a glass of wine containing the soul solution and shook it gently.
"Forgive me for being direct, Mr. Cadias, I am not a good person who is good at beating around the bush, and I cannot learn the cunning and insidiousness of the great demons. So while forgive me for being direct, please allow me to ask directly, what is your purpose in coming to hell with your friends?"
"I like my direct personality." Gao Ming said to Zhou Chu, then shrugged his shoulders, drank the red wine in his hand, and handed the wine glass to the sexy demon maid, and focused her eyes on her.
Gao Ming’s meaning is very clear. If you look at everything, he will only be a hand-off manager and captain.
Several thoughts and responses flashed through Zhou Chu's mind, but what was finally frozen in his mind was a sentence that both Lika and Atama mentioned.
In hell, the strength is still speaking in the end, and the demons only advocate absolute strong men and bloodlines.
So he decided to respond directly to Killery's directness.
"Lord Killery, are you interested in the ground?"
"Well? The ground? If you want to say something interesting, that's true." Killery replied, "Mr. Cadias wants to take me and my subordinates back to the ground to take advantage of the chaos to plunder? If so, I promise that my guards and demons will be good players in robbing the house."
"Is it just satisfying?" Zhou Chu smiled, "If this is the case, then I can do it myself. Lord Kiliri, what I said is not a brief plunder and going to the ground and then returning to hell. What I said, but go back to the ground and return to the sun."
Zhou Chu said the words, and the room immediately became silent, so quiet that the unique breathing of the demons could be heard clearly. Maki and Killery looked at each other, but neither Maki's dead eyes nor Killery's soul fire could be seen, and the only pure demon general's breathing became a little rapid and heavy.
He looked at Killery, and after Killery nodded slightly, he turned to Zhou Chu.
"Mr. Cadias, what you said just now is..." he asked, and then added, "I am Vanu, the demon army in charge of the land of wind erosion."
"What I said is, Lord Kiliri, are you interested in returning to the sun with me and living on the ground." Zhou Chu repeated, and said, "Of course, that may make you hostile and confront the church for a long time, but I think you can think of these, so what I asked is, if there is a chance and I can also bring you to the ground, Lord Kiliri, are you willing to lead your subordinates back to the sun?"
Vanu took a deep breath and looked at Kiliri. He was not the one who could decide, but he had betrayed him when he looked at Kiliri. Personally, he dreamed that one day he could truly step on the ground.
But Kiliri seemed very calm. The two balls of soul fire in his eyes flashed and then spoke.
"Mr. Cadias knows such a way?"
"If I don't know, why would I come to hell in person again?"
Zhou Chu asked back, not caring about passing the news, because Atama, whose soul had signed a master-servant contract with Alesha, could not betray him. Even if he betrayed or was killed, the path that could pass through, the weak point of the forbidden curse had been preserved in Zhou Chu's memory through the soul link between Alesha and Zhou Chu.
The soul fire in Kiliri's eyes flashed again, but he didn't say anything, obviously he was thinking.
Zhou Chu was not anxious, and there were many people who could choose to persuade him, not only Gilly, and no matter what Gilly was thinking, it had no big impact on him. Whether it was weighing the pros and cons, or judging whether he could kill him to obtain this secret, and then using this secret to gain the appreciation of a certain king, no matter what plans and judgments Gilly was making, it had no impact on him.
If a small local lord can threaten and influence them, then hell doesn't have to stay there.
But Zhou Chu obviously did not intend to let Killery think like this. In the established plan, being able to get Killery's help and surrender was the best choice, and it was also a supplement to their strength, which was somewhat weak. Therefore, Zhou Chu decided to further encourage Killery's considerations to develop in the direction of their plan.
"Lord Kiliri, how much is left to Samar's loyalty?"
As soon as this was said from Zhou Chu's mouth, Kiliri immediately stood up, the ghost fire in her eyes was so strong that she was also a little alert in her voice.
"What did you say?!"
As he stood up, Vanu and two other undead generals, only Maki still sat still, just looking at Zhou Chu.
